Chapter 618: Taste
"This stupid cow...... Evil~ Why did I pick such a guard, hurry up, and you will lose all your face after a while. x23”
Cai Congqi's mouth was crooked, and he looked unhappy when he got into the carriage, Da Niu knew that he was wrong, and dragged two hammers listlessly.
When she returned to the Hou Mansion, the house was full of women's crying, Sister Cai cried for a while when she saw Cai Cong, and Zheng Rong was even more exaggerated while crying and scolding while giving Cai Cong medicine.
Cai Cong comforted them a few words, and accidentally slipped out. Hearing that Cai Cong actually forgot such a precious thing as potatoes, they stopped crying, rolled their eyes and walked away, Cai Cong was not killed in the court, it was already the mercy of the adults.
Five days later, Li Chengqian and Cai Cong set off for Yangzhou, and Li Chengqian's heart was warm with the holy decree, which was the first time he had done a major event, and it was an earth-shattering event.
Standing on the bow of the boat, he still felt like a dream, only that the sound of the waves seemed to come from far away, and it felt unrealistic.
"You've really succeeded, and I still feel like I'm dreaming after so many days."
Cai Cong stood beside Li Chengqian and looked at the river in a daze, it was simply whimsical that a ship like that four years ago wanted to float across the sea, he never thought that Xu Yuan and they could come back alive, and the extravagant hope in his heart would be disillusioned even in a dream.
"I also feel like I'm in a dream, to be honest, although every time I talk to you about them, I firmly believe that Xu Yuan will come back, but in fact, I regret that they have been gone for less than a month, and I have always felt that I am so happy that I killed a thousand people."
Li Chengqian's tears fell as he spoke, who would have thought that this great credit was just the result of Li Chengqian's young and frivolous insolence and his anger against Cai Cong.
"Don't think too much, no matter what, you have succeeded, from ancient times to the present, no emperor can have such feats when he was the prince, it is not a dream to win the ancestor."
Cai Cong smiled reluctantly and said, he was naturally happy for Li Chengqian, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, he had always been the leader in the younger generation, and it was normal for him to feel uncomfortable when he was suddenly pressed by Li Chengqian.
"Hahaha...... Finally able to see such an expression on your face, you don't know that such an expression has never been only had by our brothers, every time my father and queen mother talk about you, we are envious, jealous and hateful, and finally it is your turn. ”
Li Chengqian suddenly laughed when he saw Cai Cong's expression, leaning forward and backward with laughter, and laughing so much that tears came out.
Cai Cong was a little embarrassed at first, but slowly his face became complicated, and he still felt very uncomfortable, maybe it was a very painful thing to be his friend!
"Cheng Qian, have I been too bright all these years, and it's painful to have a friend like me, right?"
Cai Cong suddenly asked in a weak tone, Li Chengqian looked at him in surprise, he had known Cai Cong for more than ten years and had never heard Cai Cong's weak tone.
"Hey...... To be honest, I've wanted to beat you up many times, and if it weren't for the fear of losing your friend, I'd be willing to beat you. ”
Li Chengqian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a hippie smile, Cai Cong was sure that Li Chengqian, this kid, was telling the truth, because he also had the idea of beating Li Chengqian in his heart at the moment.
"It's okay now, no one will dare to underestimate you as a prince in the future. Tsk~ It's the same as going to sea, Xu Fu didn't get any wool, but Xu Yuan got this kind of crop, this is the elixir, it can live countless gods, you are even more powerful than the first emperor. ”
Cai Cong said in a weird way, this will make him look eagerly and say goodbye, it is really impossible to do it.
But Li Chengqian didn't care at all, he was already excited, his merits were greater than that of the First Emperor, who in the world would dare to praise himself like this? He often called the first emperor a thousand years of merit, and the latecomers were difficult to match.
"Wake up, wake up~ I'll just boast so casually, you really shamelessly think that you can surpass the First Emperor now?"
Cai Cong waved his hand in front of him and asked with contempt, Li Chengqian wiped the corners of his mouth and said embarrassedly, "How can it?" I'm not so shameless, but you said that if you get this potato back, I will be a Buddha of ten thousand families, and I don't know if I will be welcomed by the people when I travel in the future? ”
"At most, there are only a few times, there are many storms in Chang'an, and when the limelight passes, the people will become accustomed to it, and they have to support their families, who can still cry out every time they see you?"
Cai Cong said unceremoniously, how grand was it when he and Li Tai came up with the smallpox vaccine? You have to bring two more clothes on the street, for fear that the clothes will be torn into rags by the enthusiastic people. But less than a month has passed, and there is no one who even takes a second look on the street, so he goes to chase the oiran fuckingly.
Hearing Cai Cong say this, Li Chengqian was a little disappointed, but he didn't feel lost in the blink of an eye, and no one could cover the limelight when he returned to Beijing this time.
Yangzhou City is now outrageously big, a main city and four acropolises, which are crowded and busy.
Ma Zhou and Hou Junji were chatting on the dock, and a large number of officials and squires were looking forward to it. Don't forget to dig wells! Yangzhou has now become the richest area in the world, and it is inseparable from the support of Hou Ye, and these profiteers naturally regard themselves as Hou Ye's people.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's ship is here!"
When the flotilla appeared on the river, an official shouted excitedly. Everyone rushed to the dock, and Hou Junji walked towards the dock with a smile on his face.
Listening to the generals whispering words complimenting Cai Cong in his ears, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, he replaced a lot of middle and lower-level generals, but the high-level generals with Yan Tong as the capital are Cai Cong's henchmen, although they usually don't get along with him, but they won't go with him together, the proper Cai Jiajun.
"Minister Ma Zhou, Hou Junji meets His Royal Highness the Prince."
"The ministers (grass people) pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince."
After landing, the two chief officials immediately took the lead in saluting Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward to support Hou Junji and said, "Uncle Yue, why should you be polite? The family is too much to see. ”
As he spoke, he said to the others, "It's all exempt!" ”
"Huh...... Etiquette can't be abolished, not to mention that the daughter of the minister is really ...... It's really hard to talk about~"
Hou Junji said with a look of shame, but he really couldn't see any embarrassment on his face.
Li Chengqian took his hand and said solemnly, "No matter what, you are Xiang'er's grandfather, this broken bone is connected with blood, Chengqian has always respected you so much!" ”
"The old minister is ashamed!" Hou Junji said bitterly, but the smug look on his face couldn't be concealed.
"Spur History, where is this Xu Yuan and his party?"
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the flying pigeon of the Maritime Patrol, General Xu Yuan and his entourage are only two hundred miles away from Yangzhou, and according to the itinerary, they will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Ma Zhou hurriedly replied that a child from a poor family like him was able to get to this point in just a few years, all thanks to Li Chengqian's support.
As for Cai Cong~ except for recommending him to the court, he never did anything for him, nor did he make any demands on him, which made him extremely puzzled.
