As soon as Yan Dong entered the hall, his body sank, his knees firmly nailed to the ground, and he held the plate with both hands without moving. I saw that his voice became sharp, and he shouted with joy: "The old slave congratulates His Majesty, the law of Chang'an Bo has been completed, five catties of poisonous salt get three and a half catties of green salt, and the old slave has already tried it." Innocuity! ”

As soon as the last two words came out, the ministers fell to the ground and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to me for the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Okay, okay, get up. Flat! Li Shimin smiled with a spring breeze on his face, and even spoke much more happily. Strode down the dragon chair, pinched a handful of salt, rubbed it vigorously, and then shook his hand in satisfaction and walked up the steps and said: "Decree, when Chang'an Bo returns to Beijing, the prince will take Li Shi and Wei Chigong out of the city for thirty miles to greet him. I set up a royal banquet in the palace, accompanied by hundreds of officials. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

All the ministers said in unison, but there was something wrong in their hearts, Cai Cong's prestige was afraid that it was going to be prosperous, but they were not only tasteful, but also some admiration, people are not people who tend to be inflammatory, everything today is not obtained by flattering people, but earned by themselves.

No, when you go back, you must clean up the baby at home, other people's baby, I don't even know who Lao Tzu is, why is it so powerful, we don't ask for the same power, one-tenth, even one percent is enough! Everyone present thought in their hearts that Chang'an was destined to be a day of blood and tears for many nobles tonight.

Here in Caijia Village, Cai Jie took her son's letter to the academy, and the Cai family's grave had never been buried with literacy, looking for Mengxue children, Cai Jie was afraid that they would not understand.

The other gentlemen of the academy were all teaching, but Zhao Zhujie was holding a bamboo slip and was studying the deeds of an assassin in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Cai Jie meets Grandpa Zhao!"

Sister Cai saluted at the door, and after several months of training, she is now more and more noble, and her every move is in line with etiquette.

"It's Cai Jie here! Why do you have time to come and see my old bones today, didn't the female officer sent by the mother force you to practice etiquette? Zhao Zhujie said with a smile.

When Sister Cai heard the word female official, her heart and liver trembled with fright, and she subconsciously looked left and right, before sticking out her tongue and saying, "I sneaked out, Grandpa Zhao Cong'er sent a letter, can you help me see what is written?" ”

Sister Cai is also reading, and the female official not only teaches her etiquette, but also teaches her to read and write, to read, in short, everything that a famous lady should know must be taught. It can also be seen that the eldest grandson cares a lot about Cai Cong, and the average new lady will only teach you the etiquette of meeting the emperor and the queen, who cares about you else? Shame is your own business.

"Little things, show me them."

Zhao Zhujie took the letter with a smile, squinted his eyes, his eyes were not good when he was old, and Cai Cong's writing was small, so he raised his head and said, "Righteous man!" ”

"Cai Cong was attacked by the rebels in Gongyi, the situation was very dangerous, there was a marksman on the opposite side, just when Cai Cong was almost shot, Gan Xinda flew into the savior, and he was killed by a sharp arrow, Cai Cong was safe and sound. Afterwards, the soldiers dug up as many as eight arrows in Gan Xinda's body.

Cai Cong said that if it weren't for Gan Xinda's sacrifice, he would have died a long time ago. I hope you will send 5,000 yuan to Gan Xinda's family to see if there is anything he needs help with at home. ”

"This is a lifesaver! Dongzhu took my brand to the treasury to transfer 5,000 yuan. Qiuyue, you go and ask Weiguo, where is Gan Xinda's home, he sent New Year's goods during the New Year, he knows. ”

The two of them left in response, and Sister Cai squatted on the ground softly and raised her pale face, and asked blankly: "Grandpa Zhao, what did Cong'er do, why do so many people want to kill him?" ”

"If you want to become a wealthy family, how can you not be hated? No matter what Cong'er does, you mother, just support him, don't drag him back. ”

The uncle walked in slowly, and said sternly to Sister Cai, since ancient times, there have been many failures of loving mothers, Cai Cong is talented and intelligent, and he has never been defeated by Sister Cai'er's loving mother, he doesn't want Sister Cai to become a resistance to the rise of the Cai family.

"Brother Zhao smiled, this girl also feels sorry for her son, and she has lost her demeanor." Uncle smiled and said to Zhao Zhujie, Sister Cai hurriedly stood up, in this world, she hurts her son the most, and she is most afraid of the uncle in front of her.

"Where is Brother Cai, this child is simple and kind by nature, and the old man is happy when he sees it. By the way, Cai Cong said that he wanted to send money to Gan Xinda's family, and this matter can be done generously, so that the people of Chang'an will know that your Cai family will repay your kindness, and your reputation can also be promoted. ”

Zhao Zhujie spoke in the vernacular neatly, the old man didn't know a few words, he had to be vassally elegant, and he spoke in a crepe, sometimes he said nondescript, making people laugh and not say, everyone still didn't understand, after a long time, everyone simply said it to him in the vernacular, trying to be happy.

A hint of intent flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he pressed it down again, and said simply: "Brother, this idea is unacceptable!" With innocent kindness, utilitarianism and trickery, how can you have the face to meet your ancestors underground in the future? Besides, my old Cai family is ashamed of the Xinda family, if we still use others at this time, then are we still human? ”

"Hahaha...... Brother, if I say this to you, you will be a hundred times more noble than those families. There are sages like you in the family, and there are people like Cai Cong, you deserve to be prosperous in the Cai family! Zhao Zhujie laughed and said, he likes this kind of person the most, and his mind is much better than those families who hide dirt and dirt.

"Brother Xie Jiyan. Jie'er, go down. People have given their lives for Cong'er, and your family should be courteous to him, and you can't be despised just because you are now a noblewoman, you know? ”

"Your niece and granddaughter know, don't worry. Grandpa Zhao, Cai Jie said goodbye. Sister Cai saluted and walked down with small steps.

Zhao Zhujie said with a smile: "I don't know why, I still like that Sister Cai'er who is in a hurry, and she takes the maid into the barracks to see her son when she has nothing to do. ”

"That's what my brother said! But if you are willing to give it, since you have it, you have to pay something, this is the principle of heaven! ”

"Brother! Don't look at you for not knowing how to write and ink, but this insight is extraordinary! Let's go and drink tea, don't say it, the tea made by Cai Cong is good, the cup is thick when you are sleepy, and the cup is light when you are idle, comfortable! ”

Five thousand taels of silver filled a carriage, as well as several carts of grain, meat, and tonics, Sister Cai loaded everything she could think of, and she couldn't repay her for saving her life.

Set off early the next morning, the Gan family was in the West Market of Chang'an, and Sister Cai came to the West Market when it was almost noon, and came to a small courtyard under the guidance of Wei Guo.

The Gan family has long been defeated, Gan Xinda's father longed for the life of a ranger when he was young, traveled the world, and lost the huge ancestral business, and later saw the miserable wife and children, only then did he suddenly realize that he joined the army and earned military merit to have the money to buy the house in front of him.

Qiuyue went up and knocked on the door, the door opened a crack, and a little girl stuck out her head, blinked and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Qiu Yue handed over the post and said with a smile: "Little sister." Mrs. Xiaojia came to meet Uncle Gan and Aunt Gan, I don't know if they are there? ”

The little girl took the post and looked at it pretendedly, then said with a smile: "Yes, you wait a minute, I'll go talk to my grandfather."

The door creaked and closed again, and after a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from inside the door, and a sturdy middle-aged man walked out: "The old man Gan Wenxing and his wife and daughter greet Mrs. Xiaojia." Madame inside please! ”
