Chapter 14: Tell the wine to mourn
What happened after Li Shimin entered the palace, Chen Feng didn't know about it, but through Li Shimin's order to Du Li to set up a banquet to entertain him, it can already be seen that they should have won the battle that day.
He earned 4,000 taels of silver by selling soap sporadically, plus Du Li got 30,000 taels from the deal he negotiated with Du Li later, and returned 30,000 taels from Gao Ran, and Chen Feng still had 4,000 taels of silver in his hand.
It's not much, but according to the price of the early Tang Dynasty, one tael of silver is a thousand wen, and three or four cents can buy a bucket of rice, so it may not be intuitive, a penny in the early Tang Dynasty is about equivalent to two cents and a half cents now, and a bucket of rice is about six kilograms now, that is, less than one dollar can buy about six kilograms of rice.
In this way, four thousand taels of silver is definitely a huge amount of money in the early Tang Dynasty, and in modern times, it is also a millionaire in the blink of an eye.
With a huge amount of money in his hand, Chen Feng didn't dare to be extravagant, after all, there was a tiger behind him with a bloody mouth, which could make his head fall to the ground at any time, with such a threat, plus he was not a jubilant person himself, so he stayed quietly in the side room of the Qin Mansion to study.
On this day, when Du Li shook a folding fan to look for him, he happened to meet Qin Sushan, who was wearing a pink embroidered lily dress, adding fragrance to Chen Feng's red sleeves, and immediately teased, "I say that you are bored in the Qin Mansion all day long, eating, drinking and having fun are all unintentional, it turns out that there is such a stunning beauty often around, no wonder!" ”
Because of Chen Feng's relationship, Du Li has also become a frequent visitor to the Qin Mansion, and there is no need to enter and exit the Qin Mansion.
Also because of Chen Feng's relationship, Qin Sushan also knew a little about Du Gongzi, who had a close relationship with Chen Feng, and listened to him ridicule at this time, his face was full of shame but he didn't feel that he was rude, so he gave a shallow salute and left the space to Chen Feng and Du Li.
"I scared away your red-sleeved and fragrant wonderful person as soon as I came, Brother Chen, you shouldn't blame me, right?" Gu Gu found a place to sit down, and there was no restraint between the two.
Chen Feng glanced at Du Li, he thought that this person was a handsome man, but it turned out to be just an illusion, "If you blame you, can you get my wonderful person back?" ”
Hearing this, Du Li smiled and snorted, "I can't help that wonderful person of yours, why don't I change it for you?" ”
After getting acquainted with it, I found out that this Du Li is a person who is crazy, the so-called long-sleeved good dance, and the heart is accessible, all of which are forced to disguise under the test of the battlefield in the shopping mall.
"Two for that?" Seeing that Chen Feng continued to read and ignored it, he increased his chips, anyway, their first acquaintance originated from the business field.
"What the hell is going on with you?" There is no restraint or politeness, and the title of Brother Chen and Brother Du between the two has become a joke that can only be talked about when they ridicule each other.
"Alright, let's get down to business." As the words fell, Du Li put away his cynical look, and Chen Feng also put down the book in his hand.
"King Qin ordered me to set up a banquet to entertain you." Du Li said a serious thing, and Chen Feng also listened attentively.
The reason why Chen Feng listened attentively was that he felt that there should be a follow-up to this sentence, but Du Li was silent after saying this, "It's over?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.
"It's over." Chen Feng was a little puzzled, King Qin set up a banquet, although he was ordered to set up a banquet, King Qin might not be present, but this was already a great gift, but Chen Feng didn't react at all, as if this matter was taken for granted.
"Oh, by the way, my uncle asked you to go and sit at home at some time."
Hearing this, Chen Feng rolled his eyes weakly.
Early the morning before yesterday, Du Li sent a little guy to pick him up, looking at the little guy panicked and frightened, Chen Feng was afraid that something big had happened to the Du family, so he grabbed two buns and solved breakfast in the carriage, and when he arrived at Du's mansion, it was a peaceful and peaceful scene.
After careful questioning, I learned that it was Du Ruhui, the head of their Du Mansion, who had been whispering in Du Li's ear to let Chen Feng go over the mansion to sit.
Du Li couldn't stand Du Ruhui's urging as soon as the reader came out of his mouth, so he urged the little guy to pick up Chen Feng, and the little guy saw Du Li's urgency, thinking that something big had happened, so he brought Chen Feng back in a panic.
As a result, the day before yesterday, he sat in Du Mansion until dinner, and Du Ruhui was willing to let him go and let the little guy send him back to Qin Mansion.
Du Ruhui is a clever person, and history says that he is the first Tang Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration at all. The problem is how can a person who can be virtuous be simple, that day and time, it seems simple, but only Chen Feng, the party, knows best, Du Ruhui almost turned out his old bottom.
said that he would set up a banquet for the King of Qin to entertain Chen Feng, but in the end, the chef of the Qin Mansion fried a few dishes, a jar of apricot blossoms, and drank in the side room where Chen Feng lived.
"Brother Du, is there something I don't know whether to talk about or not?" Holding a white porcelain wine glass in his hand, the apricot blossom brew in the cup exudes a spicy and mellow aroma of wine, and the two of them have gone through three rounds of wine, and there is a slight blur between their eyebrows and eyes.
Listening to Chen Feng's tone, he already knew that this matter was not trivial, Du Li's hand holding the white porcelain wine glass was slowly placed on the table, and his index finger slowly rubbed on the wall of the cup.
"Do you know who I was?" Although he already knew the answer, Chen Feng still asked, and only after Du Li nodded did he continue, "Then do you know why I ended up like this?" ”
The prince wanted to kill a small official, but they really couldn't understand it so clearly. Moreover, at that time, Chen Feng was not qualified to be regarded by figures like King Qin and Du Ruhui, even if he was talented, he was just a small official, and he would not affect the overall situation.
Seeing that Du Li was silent, Chen Feng also guessed what he was thinking, "You may not believe it, the prince listened to the slander of Cai Dongpan and Li Anyan, and wanted to attack the King of Qin, but I just persuaded him, and he suffered this disaster." ”
When he said this, Chen Feng's eyes were red, his face seemed to be dyed red because of the smell of wine, and his eyes were a little blurred, but he could still see that he was sober.
"However, there has been no movement at this time, and the prince should have figured it out." As he spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "You pity me!" ”
From the time he opened his mouth to say the first word, Du Li's eyes were always fixed on him, and he didn't want to miss any of his subtle expressions, and it was precisely because of this that Chen Feng's sadness at this time was clear to him.
As a businessman, Du Li thought that he could still see people, but at this time, he couldn't tell the truth of Chen Feng, and he was suddenly haunted by an unfathomable idea of the person in front of him.
Watching him pour wine cup after cup, it seems that what he said is true, but at this time, the stakes are very high, and he is by no means able to bear the responsibility alone, and Chen Feng can't help but say yes or no.
