Chapter 177: Rubbing Cai Jing's Rice
- Cai Jing Fu
Cai Jing rubbed his eyes, put down the book and said, "What time is it?" ”
"Back to the master, it's already time." Outside back.
Cai Jing looked outside and said, "I said it's dark this day, let's get ready for dinner, what are you going to eat today?" ”
Cai Xiong, the housekeeper waiting outside the door, opened the door and walked in and said, "Hui Taishi, it's the new Taihu crab." ”
Cai Jing smiled: "Oh? Taihu crab is here, wow, prepare more, so that the children can also eat some. ”
As he was talking, a person outside said, "Master Yu, Huang Jiangde asks to see you." ”
Cai Jing was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "This son is actually here... Let him in. ”
After a while, Jiang De took Xu Guanzhong to Cai Jing's study, and Cai Jing laughed and said, "Why is De'er here?" Is your aunt okay? ”
Jiang De bowed his hand and said, "The kid has seen the Taishi, back to the Taishi, when the kid left, the aunt was fine, and she talked about you with her uncle, but the kid has been away from Neihuang for a few months, and I don't know what happened now." ”
Cai Jing smiled and asked, "How many months have you been gone?" ”
Jiang De replied, "My husband said that it is better to travel thousands of miles to read ten thousand books, and seeing that I can't sit down, I really am not a reader, so he sent Mr. Xu to accompany me to travel the world, and successively went to the northwest, Bashu, Jiangdong, Huainan, Shandong, and then came to Tokyo." ”
Cai Jing nodded and said, "Well, I also heard some things about you in the northwest, is the benefit of cotton really so great?" ”
Jiang De was not surprised at all that Cai Jing knew that he was selling cotton in the northwest, and it should be said that if Cai Jing didn't know anything about this matter, then it could only be said that Cai Jing should be ready to get down from his position, you must know that Jiang De used Cai Jing's signboard in the northwest to communicate with the government.
Jiang De nodded and said, "But this is the case, but there are still too few cotton seeds, and it will take a few years to really form a scale." ”
Cai Jing sighed: "Time. . . The old man still has it, and the official family also has it, so don't worry! It's okay if you come, you haven't eaten yet, there is a new Taihu crab today, let's try it together. ”
Crab? This is a good thing in autumn, Jiang De smiled and said, "This is delicious, the child really hasn't eaten it, not only the child hasn't eaten it... The children's retinue didn't eat either. ”
Cai Jing laughed, "You little lang, can't I afford to invite your servants to dinner?" Let's go, you tell the old man what you have seen and heard along the way, the old man has also traveled to many places back then. ”
——
"I said..."
"Bang dang" "Bang dang" "Bang dang"
"That..."
"Bang dang" "Bang dang" "Bang dang"
Cai Xiong looked at Li Zhong and the others who were reincarnated like starving ghosts, covered his face and said to others, "Did you really not misplace the wrong person? Are these really Xiao Langjun's entourage? ”
"Steward Cai, you've asked a few times, it's really!" The servant next to him said with a bitter face.
Cai Xiong shook his head and said, "Where did Xiao Langjun come from, look at these people are hungry." ”
Li Zhong glanced at Cai Xiong, ignored him, and continued to eat and drink, Xiao Langjun said, this Taishi is not a good thing, and he always asks Xiao Langjun to give gifts, now he can eat a little more, Li Zhong wanted to bite the crab hard, God knows why Taishi likes to eat this hard thing, it is meatless and not delicious... I've just heard that it's quite expensive.
In the main hall, Jiang De took the tea handed by the servant next to him, took a sip, spit it out into the basin held by the maid next to him, and then returned the tea to the servant. ”
When Cai Jing heard the crab, his eyes lit up a little and said, "Speaking of others, it's not that there are people who are stronger than the old man, but when it comes to this word and eating, the old man has never been afraid of anyone." ”
Xu Guanzhong was still reminiscing about the delicious food just now, and sighed, "In the past, Mr. Su had poetry, and he didn't live up to his eyes when he didn't eat crabs. Today, I realized that it was true. ”
Cai Jing sighed, "Bachelor Su is talented, but he is too pedantic in governing the country, if he is willing to help King Shu, will he make Yuan You's traitors cause chaos?" ”
Jiang De was reluctant to discuss with Cai Jing who was right and wrong between the new party and the old party, and in Jiang De's eyes, these two groups of people had deteriorated by this time, so he changed the topic and said, "Taishi, I heard that the official family has been very interested in Taoism recently. ”
Cai Jing glanced at Jiang De and said, "The official family is the true son of heaven from heaven, so naturally he misses his colleagues in the original heaven, so it is normal to be interested in Taoism." What's more, your credit for this is not small. ”
Jiang De knew that Cai Jing was talking about his "Romance of the Gods", so he glanced at Xu Guanzhong and said, "When I returned to the capital this time, I also brought all the remaining "Romance of the Gods" and prepared to enter the palace in a few days to dedicate it to the official family. ”
Xu Guanzhong then took out a book that had been completed from his arms, Cai Qian next to Cai Jing came over, took it, and then handed it to Cai Jing, Cai Jing flipped through it, and sighed, "This is really a strange book, Xiaolang's parents are probably not the children of the world." ”
As he spoke, Cai Jing said to Cai Qian, "Go and invite Mr. Dongwei to come." Saying that, Cai Jing said to Jiang De, "Let me introduce you to a strange person, this Mr. Dongwei is a real cultivator of the official family, and he is best at divination and fortune-telling, and predicting good fortune and misfortune. ”
Before Cai Qiren walked out, he heard a laugh outside: "I heard that the Taishi called the poor Dao? ”
Cai Qian opened the door with a surprised face, and saw a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe walking in, and after making a mockery to Cai Jing, he said, "Poor Dao took a nap after dinner today, and dreamed that a unicorn entered the room, so he knew that there was a noble person who came to the Taishi's mansion, so he didn't tell him, and asked the Taishi to forgive me." ”
Cai Jing sighed: "Sir, he is a living immortal. ”
Jiang De looked at the performance of these two, crooked his mouth, and was extremely disdainful in his heart, as long as he was in this mansion, I am afraid that he would not know that he was here, and he didn't know if Cai Jing secretly arranged for him to wait outside in advance, Jiang De always suspected that this old Taoist had been secretly instructed by Cai Jing before meeting Zhao Ji. Otherwise, how can this old Taoist know about the secret things in the palace?
Xu Guanzhong saw that Jiang De didn't speak, so he said first, "I've seen the Taoist, but I don't know who the noble person the Taoist is talking about?" ”
Lao Dao looked at Xu Guanzhong and said, "Although this gentleman is also noble, but compared with Xiao Langjun next to you, it is much inferior. ”
Jiang De smiled and arched his hand, "Then thank you Mr. for your good words, if there is really such a day, you must thank you with a heavy gift!" ”
Lao Dao smiled silently, and Cai Jing said, "Mr. Dongxu, come and read this book, is everything you say true?" ”
Lao Dao stepped forward to take it, flipped it over, and suddenly exclaimed, "This is an ancient thing, why did it leak here?" ”
Jiang Deqiang resisted the urge not to roll his eyes, he probably understood what Cai Jing wanted to do, so he could only cooperate, "Could it be that the Dao Chief also knows about the Battle of the Ancient Gods?" ”
Lao Dao sighed, "The battle of the past was extremely ferocious, how dare you forget it, and I don't know which fellow Daoist actually passed the battle of the gods into a book, and these details are so clear, I am afraid that the status in the sky is no longer under the six emperors." ”
Six Emperors? If you want to hurt people and say it directly, these six emperors are the five emperors in the heavens, the east, the west, the north, the south, and the middle plus the six queen mothers of the west, if this is Jiang De's father is these six emperors, then what is Jiang De? So what does Zhao Ji have to be?
Jiang De hurriedly didn't dare to let this old Taoist talk nonsense anymore, and hurriedly said, "The things in this book are all told to me by my father when I was young, and my father also listened to his friend after drinking, but that friend doesn't know who it is." ”
Cai Jing also coughed, he was going to collude with Jiang De to fool Zhao Ji, but it didn't mean that he was going to harm Jiang De, the old Taoist also reacted that he was probably a little bigger, and sighed, "It seems that the father of Xiaoyou must be a person in my Dao, but it's a pity that I can't see it, Taishi, Poor Dao has a request and looks to be thoughtful." ”
Cai Jing stretched out his hand and said, "Please speak up, sir." ”
The old Taoist said, "What is said in this book is an ancient thing, and the poor Tao wants to borrow it to read it all night, I don't know if it is possible?" ”
Cai Jing looked at Jiang De, and Jiang De said, "The book was originally for people to read, and the Taoist chief took it." ”
The old man thanked him again, and then left, Cai Jing looked at Jiang De, smiled and said, "It's a pity that De'er's father is not in the world, otherwise he will be favored by the official family." ”
Jiang De shook his head and said, "My father doesn't like the wealth of the world, I'm afraid that even if he is still in the world, he will not come to the capital. ”
Cai Jing snorted and said, "If there is a treasure, it should naturally be given to the official family first." ”
Jiang De knew what Cai Jing meant, took out a brocade box from his arms and said, "Of course, the first time this treasure is refined, there will be a second time, I have another one here, but it was specially brought to the Taishi, as soon as this thing comes out, I actually have some scruples in my heart." ”
Saying that, Jiang De opened the brocade box, Cai Jing and Cai Qian both knew that every time Jiang De took out the gift was a rare thing in the world, they couldn't help but raise their heads and wanted to see it earlier, Jiang De took out a golden tube from the box, handed it to Xu Guanzhong and said, "This thing is called a telescope, it can have the effect of clairvoyance, as long as there are no mountains and rivers to block it, you can see its details." ”
Xu Guanzhong stepped forward and handed it to Cai Jing, Cai Jing took it, listening to Jiang De's magic, he wanted to try it, but he didn't know what to do, Jiang De said, "Please move outside." ”
Cai Jing came outside with Jiang De and others, and the moon at this time was just a crescent moon. Jiang De pointed to the crescent moon and said, "Please Taishi, put the big end of this telescope to the moon, the small one to the eye, and squint the other eye." ”
Cai Jing closed one eye as Jiang De said, looked at the small end of the telescope, and when he saw it, he was suddenly startled and exclaimed, "Ah! After speaking, he hurriedly put down the binoculars, then looked at it again, and called out again, and so two or three times, before he praised, "Wonderful!" Wonderful! Really clairvoyant! But why are there so many craters on the moon? ”
Jiang De sighed, "According to my father, this is caused by countless meteorites outside the sky when the heavens were opened in ancient times. ”
Cai Jing put down the binoculars and handed it to Cai Juan, who was already greedy next to him, and then Cai Juan repeated Cai Jing's action just now, Cai Jing looked at Cai Ju like this, and hummed, "Juan'er, don't be rude!" After that, he sighed to Jiang De, "This thing is really a divine object, and it can be glimpsed into the heavens, no wonder you have scruples." ”
Jiang De shook his head and said, "What the kid is worried about is not the heavenly machine, but the military aircraft, if this thing is owned by our army, our army can detect the enemy's movements dozens of miles away, but if it is surrounded by the enemy, our army's every move is under the eyes of the enemy!" ”
Cai Jing is still a politician in essence, he is the prime minister of the Great Song Empire, and when he heard Jiang De say this, he also found that this thing has advantages for the military, of course, this interest must definitely be placed under the coaxing of Zhao Ji.
Cai Jing touched his long beard and said, "What De'er said is very true, this thing must be strictly guarded, especially the glass workshop, outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit at will, and they must follow the example of the divine arm bow!" ”
Jiang De nodded and said, "The kid thinks the same way, so he wants to borrow a team of forbidden troops to guard the field." ”
Cai Jing looked at Jiang De and said with a smile, "It seems that you already have a candidate, who is it?" ”
Jiang De smiled and said, "It's not someone else, it's the head of the Golden Gun Class, who is known as the Golden Gun Bearer Xu Ning." ”
Cai Jing muttered Xu Ning's name and asked, "Why don't you let that senior brother go?" ”
Jiang De sighed: "My senior brother is probably reluctant to part with his sister-in-law. ”
It turned out that the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty had a rule that the forbidden army in the capital was not allowed to bring their families when they went out, this was to prevent their families from carrying them with them, and secondly, to prevent rebellion.
Xu Ning and Jiang De had no intersection, and they had no choice but to leave Beijing after receiving the order, and if Lin Chong knew, he might complain about Jiang De, so Jiang De was ready to find another opportunity.
Cai Jing smiled, "You are a person who values love and righteousness, so it depends on you." ”
Jiang De hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Master!" ”
Cai Jing touched the binoculars and said, "You are the captain of Yilu, this time I am afraid that the official family will promote your official position again, then Xu Ning is only the head of the golden gun squad, and there are only two hundred people under his command, who are under you, but you can't transfer all the golden gun squads, you can only transfer half, so let's do it, I will advise the official family to let you take up a post in the front of the palace at that time, and you can directly command the golden gun squad, so it is also justified, how about it?" ”
Jiang De hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your grace!" ”
Cai Jing stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled, "But you deserve it, you don't have to thank the old man..."
——
"Lord, this Xu Ning, the lord seems to be bound to win." In the cold moonlight, Xu Guanzhong said to Jiang De, who was riding a horse.
Jiang De nodded and replied, "Xu Ning has been a general in the Golden Gun Class for generations, and it can be said that he is the first sickle hook gun in the world, and this time it is in Qingzhou." If it weren't for Qin Ming's plan, those hundreds of cavalry would have injured I don't know how many soldiers. The power of the cavalry is like this, but there is no way to restrain it in my Liangshan army, so I urgently need this person. ”
Xu Guanzhong said clearly: "But will this person submit to my Liangshan?" ”
Jiang De snorted and said, "This question, just leave it to Wu Yong to consider, to be honest, I have always doubted that if Wu Yong is willing, will Cai Jingjing be able to bring me to Liangshan to be a military counselor." ”
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "If there is really a day, this Bianliang City should also change its banner." ”
