Niu Jinda held Li Su's arm, refused to let go for a long time, stared at Li Su up and down, and finally nodded with satisfaction for a long time.

"I'm thin, but it's solid, I have tendon meat on my arms, it seems that Xizhou has not gone in vain, the baby is still young, and he should also suffer some hardships and tempering, otherwise it will be difficult to become a big weapon in his life."

Li Su smiled bitterly: "I almost lost my life, this should not only be tempered, but also passed the ghost gate." ”

Niu Jinda snorted and said, "We veterans have been fighting horses all our lives, who hasn't tripped back and forth from the ghost gate?" Are you expensive alone? If you don't suffer a little, how can you become a man's husband? As for your previous lazy and tired virtue, everyone who saw you wanted to beat you up and send you to Xizhou, just to change your problems. ”

Li Su's smile became more and more bitter: "Uncle Niu, Your Majesty sent me to Xizhou, I'm afraid it's not just to change my lazy problem, right?" ”

Niu Jinda glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Do you think Your Majesty has other meanings?" ”

Li Su lowered his head and said, "How dare the kid pretend to be a saint." ”

"You don't have to hide it in front of the old man, Your Majesty sent you to Xizhou, after all, it is not harmful to you, today you stand in front of the old man, no matter how spirited you are, compared with three years ago, you are much stronger, this can be regarded as growth."

Li Su smiled and nodded yes.

Niu Jinda glanced at him and said: "You went back to Chang'an three days ago, the old man heard that you were in the limelight, Your Majesty issued three wills in a row, praised and rewarded in front of the subjects of the city, and also promoted your title, the hairy boy in his twenties is actually the marquis, who can have the scenery you have today?" What else are you not satisfied with? ”

"Of course the kid is satisfied."

"Since you are satisfied, live your life well, don't think nonsense!" Niu Jinda stared at his eyes and said, "Li Zizheng." The old man has always known that you have hatred and resentment in your heart, because Your Majesty broke up your marriage with Princess Dongyang, and the old man told you that you can no longer have resentment in your heart. It's dangerous. ”

Li Su was silent for a moment and said, "The kid has no complaints. ”

Niu Jinda looked at him deeply and said: "I hope you are telling the truth, Zizheng, Xizhou is good in Xizhou, Chang'an is in danger of Chang'an, it is difficult to go to Xizhou, but it is also dangerous everywhere in Chang'an, you come back this time." Your Majesty praised and rewarded you in the public, although the scenery is the same for a while, but your future situation will also be everywhere to be watched sideways, in the future, you should be more and more like walking on thin ice, a little careless, will fall into the calculation of the heart, not to mention, you and the prince of the dynasty has a grudge. It is even more impossible not to guard against it. ”

With a sincere and solemn admonition, it can be seen that Niu Jinda is from the heart. He really regarded Li Su as his own nephew.

Li Su had a smile on his face, but he was moved in his heart.

It is really a blessing for me to meet such an elder who cares about me in this life, no matter how dangerous Chang'an City is, it is better than the feeling of isolation and helplessness in Xizhou.

"Thank you, Uncle Niu, for the boy." Li Subi saluted him respectfully.

Niu Jinda laughed: "That's it." The old man is old, hesitosity, just remember it, it's also a county marquis, a twenty-year-old marquis of the Tang Dynasty. But it's very rare, you kid is a character, and you need to grow up more in the future. ”

Li Suwei only said yes.

Niu Jinda patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's not polite to stand outside and talk, come here, set up a banquet, and serve wine!" Boy, let's go to the front hall and have a good drink! ”

"Huh? Drink? Li Su's face suddenly turned blue: "...... Uncle Niu forgive me, the kid has a very bad amount of alcohol, and he has to go to Uncle Cheng's mansion to visit......"

"Bye fart! An old bully of the Cheng family leads six little bullies, and the house is like a tiger's den in Longtan, how can you come out vertically when you go in? Anyway, they are all drunk, and now they are simply drunk in the old man's mansion, how much can I give you a care, Mo Luo, enter the house! ”

Niu Jinda couldn't help but push Li Su into the front hall, the two of them entered the house with their front feet, and the people in the house brought out the hot wine and food with their back feet, and the high efficiency really made people wonder if there were dozens of cooks in the mansions of all the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty holding chickens and ducks on standby, so the head of the house immediately threw the chickens and ducks into the pot as soon as he gave an order, and brought them out in the blink of an eye......

The banquet in Niufu is very simple, not as luxurious as the Cheng family, after all, it is a military general's family, although the dishes are simple, but the amount is very scary, a pot of big dishes and a jar of spirits are served, Li Su looked at the steaming wine and food on the table blankly, and couldn't help but burp.

"Come, drink three cups and say goodbye, don't talk nonsense, it's done!" Niu Jinda was very heroic, tilted his neck and drank the liquor in the cup, and after grinning for a while, his dark old face suddenly flushed.

Li Su still stared blankly at the half-catty lacquer ear cup in front of him, swallowed his saliva again, and his face turned a little pale.

"Haha, donkey day! What a strong wine! Swallowing it in your stomach is like cutting with a knife, you are a capable baby, how did you figure it out with such a strong drink...... Well? Why doesn't Zizheng drink it? This is your own five-step pour, isn't it to your taste? ”

"Ahh Drink, drink! Boy, drink ......" Li Su pretended to put the full wine glass to his lips, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found that he was staring at a vermilion pillar in the front hall like a rare treasure, and exclaimed: "Ah! What a majestic one...... Pillar! As great as Uncle Niu, good baby! ”

Hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand, stepped forward with an arrow, hugged the pillar as if he had eaten a piece of firewood, and did not let go, rubbing and caressing: "This thickness, this lacquer, this length...... Tut! Good column! ”

Niu Jinda stared at him with black lines on his face, raised and lowered his right hand several times, as if he was hesitating to smoke this shameless little bastard, and he was afraid of ruining the atmosphere of reunion after a long absence......

"Uncle Niu, the pillars in your house are not ordinary! Good column! I don't know what kind of wood to use, what kind of vermilion lacquer, the kid should follow suit when he goes back......" Li Su desperately diverted the topic from drinking to the pillar.

"Hmph, this pillar...... In fact, it's a very ordinary pillar! Niu Jinda snorted, poured himself a full cup, and then drank it all again, put down the lacquered ear cup and muttered: "This kid has been in Xizhou for three years...... Have you grown? How can you be as bastard as you were back then? It doesn't make sense......"

Li Su's face was a little embarrassed, and Niu Jinda's muttering voice was too loud......

A wine banquet cannot be said to be enjoyable for the guests and hosts. Niu Jinda saw that Li Su's alcohol was not good, and he didn't persuade him to drink anymore, Li Su repeatedly cheated and played tricks, Niu Jinda kept drinking by himself, so at the end of the banquet, Niu Jinda ...... Inexplicably drunk himself.

A person who pours this 50-degree liquor in five steps as a grape brew and keeps pouring the pulp. It's really unreasonable not to get drunk.

In the end, Niu Jinda's face was flushed, his eyes were straight, his tongue was big, he staggered to his feet, and began to talk to Li Su about his heart.

"Good baby! What a baby! The old man has lived for so many years, and for the first time...... See, you bewitching baby...... Good! The old man knows that you have suffered in Xizhou in the past few years, and the teenage baby led the soldiers and civilians of the city to defend the land and resist the enemy. How can it not be bitter? Fortunately, you are happy to come back, and you are also beautiful when you return to Chang'an, this is the scenery you got in exchange for your life, you can hold your head high and accept it, Li Zizheng, you are very good, it is not in vain that the old man personally awarded you the crown, you are worthy of the old man. is also worthy of Your Majesty...... From now on, Niu's home will be your home. You are the old man's nephew, you can come and go as you like, even if you set the Niu family on fire, you can be happy, and the old man will never blame...... Zizheng, don't be polite to the old man. You know? ”

"Uncle Niu, you're drunk, go back to the bedroom to rest......" Li Suwen persuaded.

"Who said the old man was drunk? Not drunk! Come, drink this cup to the fullest, and then watch the old man dance the halberd to help the fun. For Your Majesty's birthday! Niu Jinda raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup, and shouted: "Someone! Take the halberd! ”

Then, under Li Su's stunned, after Niu Jinda finished speaking, his eyes widened and his head slammed on the low table...... Completely drunk to death.

An old housekeeper of Niufu and several subordinates carrying iron halberds stood outside the porch of the front hall, staring blankly at their old master falling asleep, stunned for a long time, the old butler waved his hand, and the subordinates carried the iron halberd and retreated.

"Shaolangjun is not strange, my lord has always been like this, he falls asleep when he is drunk, and he sleeps for a day and a night, and Shaolangjun also invites himself." The old butler laughed.

Li Su also smiled: "It doesn't matter, Uncle Niu is a man of temperament, I have always admired him, how can I be strange?" ”

After a pause, Li Su rubbed his nose and said in a big voice: "Uncle Niu said just now that he wants me to treat the Niu family as his own family, and I am his own nephew, even if I set the Niu family on fire, he won't blame me......"

The old housekeeper smiled: "Shao Lang Jun is deeply appreciated by the master, it is also a good story, Shao Lang Jun will only regard the Niu family as his own family in the future, if there is any need, just tell the old man, the old man will treat you as his own Lang Jun and serve you thoughtfully......"

Li Su blinked: "Uncle Niu didn't say kind words, right?" ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly said: "The old man has also mentioned Shaolangjun many times at home on weekdays, saying that Shaolangjun is a Tang Yingjie, and he attaches great importance to you. ”

Li Suxi said: "That's good, huh...... As for the house, I won't order it, it's too rude, but I've been a little tight lately, so ......"

The old housekeeper was stunned: "So? ”

…………

Under the complicated gaze of the housekeeper of the Niu Mansion and the veterans of the tribe at the door, Zheng Xiaolou and a group of veterans of the Li family carried the copper furnace, calligraphy and paintings, fine porcelain and other things of the Niu Mansion, and left the house happily.

******************************************************************

Today's itinerary is all about visiting the old general, Li Su even arranged the order before going out, first of all, the Niu family, followed by Li Jing, Li Ji, the eldest grandson Wuji, etc., as for the Cheng family, the old hooligan is the most difficult to deal with, so leave it to the last visit, if nothing else, wait for the last foot across the door of the Cheng family, waiting for his own must be drunk for a long time, there is no suspense, so it is necessary to worship the people who should be seen when he is sober, and finally indulge in the deep land of the Cheng family.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Li Su deeply underestimated the hooliganism of the Cheng family, and finally knew how damn this Vermilion Bird Street was.

The old generals basically live on Zhuque Street, this street crosses the north and south of Chang'an, from Niufu, the next destination is the Tang Dynasty God of War Li Jing's house, damn it, the road from Niu's house to Li's house, you must pass through the gate of the Cheng family.

When Zheng Xiaolou and a group of veterans carried all kinds of copper furnaces, calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain looted from Niufu to swagger through the city, the guards at the door of Cheng's house saw Li Su from a distance, this damn clever trilogy didn't say a word, turned around and ran quickly towards the door.

When Li Su held his breath and planned to pass by the gate of Cheng's Mansion silently like an elegant beautiful man, he only heard the side door of Cheng's house creak open, followed by a burst of heroic and wild laughter.

"Wahahahaha, what a little offspring, I finally came to see the old man, you have filial piety!"

Before you see anyone, you hear it first.

In front of the gate of Cheng's house, Li Su couldn't help but shudder when he heard such a demonic laughter, and was about to turn around and retreat the same way, when he saw a burly figure coming out of the side door, and without saying a word, he picked up his collar, as if he had bought a piece of pork strips and went home to drink, and walked leisurely and happily with Li Su to the house.

"Come, set up a banquet, serve wine!"

Li Su's feet were in the air, and Zheng Xiaolou and the friends behind him were stunned.

Uncle Cheng let go...... Uncle Cheng, you let the kid down first, there was a misunderstanding, this misunderstanding was too big, the kid explained to you face-to-face...... "Li Su kicked his legs helplessly in mid-air and struggled.

I haven't seen him for many years, Cheng Biting Jin is really still the leader of the demon king of the mixed world, seeing that Li Su keeps struggling, he put Li Su on the ground as soon as he let go of his hand.

"Explain what? Let's have three toasts before we get back in the house! Cheng Yanjin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than three years, the little baby is a little darker, and the weight is enough, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to carry you in two years." ”

Li Su had a look of horror in his eyes, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said, "Uncle Cheng forgives the kid for being rude, in fact, the kid is just passing by your mansion...... It's really just passing by, the kid plans to go to Uncle Wei's house to pay a visit, and then come back to greet Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng...... Believe it? ”

"The Medicine Man's House?" Cheng Yanjin turned his head and glanced in the direction of Li Jingfu, then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Fart!" The pharmacist hasn't seen visitors for many years, do you know him well? Large and small gifts to his family, Chang'an City can afford so many big gifts, of course, only I Lao Cheng, I came, I came, and I was so polite......"

"Uncle Cheng, boy...... You're welcome! Li Su was anxious.

Who knew that Cheng Biting Jin's ears seemed to have automatic filtering software installed, and he turned a deaf ear to Li Su's explanation, and rushed to Zheng Xiaolou and the veterans with an arrow to start inspecting the goods.

"Calligraphy and painting? Tut! Chinaware? Tut! Cheng Yanjin pursed his lips in disgust, turned his head and said: "Little baby, forget it this time, next time I will send money directly to the old man, the old man likes this thing, don't send anything else to my house......"

This shameless face......

"Uncle Cheng, these gifts are really not ......," Li Su explained weakly.

"Huh? This copper stove is so familiar! Cheng Yanjin rushed to the three-legged copper stove, touched his furry chin and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and finally looked at the gifts one by one, and muttered: "Don't say it, don't think it, talk about it...... These objects are very familiar. ”

After speaking, Cheng Yanjin glanced at Li Su meaningfully.

This glance made Li Su very embarrassed, and his old face couldn't help but be hot, and he stood in place and laughed dryly.

"Uncle Cheng, it's not early, the kid will go to the Wei Mansion to pay a visit, and then come back to greet you......" In front of the Cheng Mansion, Li Su decided to slip away.

As soon as he took a step forward with his feet, Li Su suddenly found ...... sadly He was carried by Cheng Yanjin in mid-air again, so faceless.

"If you come, you are a guest, and when you enter the door, the old man accepted these things, come and help the Li family move things into the house, quickly, don't let the old cow ...... Ahem, don't let that old man find out, quick! ”

With an order, the Cheng family rushed up, looted the gifts in the hands of Zheng Xiaolou and the veterans, and walked away, watching those gifts enter the Cheng Mansion.

Li Su knew that these gifts were like meat buns that had beaten dogs, and the souls who had entered the ghost gate would never come back.

"Haha, okay, I didn't expect Lao Niu to have today, little baby, the old man is more and more aware that your temperament is very good for the old man's appetite, go, go in and drink! If you don't get drunk today, you won't return, whoever dares to cheat and play tricks is raised by your sister-in-law! ”

After speaking, Cheng Biting Jin was like catching the demon king of Tang Seng, and happily carried Li Su into the mansion. (To be continued.) )
