Chapter 287: Preparing to leave Chang'an
After pasting the couplet, Cheng Chubi walked slowly towards the Lu Guogong Mansion.
Many passers-by showed curiosity, what is posted on the door of Princess Xinping's mansion?
Originally, Cheng Chubi wanted to paste the portraits of Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao, but unfortunately, he really couldn't draw them, and he didn't have time to paint them.
It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it's time for the family to get together, but it's a pity that Chai Lingyu is not there.
The Lu Guogong Mansion is very lively, very lively.
I saw that at this time, Cheng Cuishi was commanding a group of slaves to pack up some things in the house.
"Meet Grandpa Grandpa, Happy New Year to Grandpa Grandpa." Cheng Chubi walked over with a smile and said, and then looked forward to Cheng Cui's being able to send him some red envelopes with both hands, but what made Cheng Chubi feel depressed was that Cheng Cui's ignored him, and went to busily command the servants in the house and put some things into the box.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Cheng Chubi opened his mouth and asked, with great doubts in his eyes: "Are you going to move?" ”
"Moving? What kind of home are you, you stupid boy? Cheng Cuishi smiled slightly and said, "We are going to your uncle's house for the New Year." ”
"Huh? Go to Qinghe Cui's house? Cheng Chubi was taken aback, Datang still has the custom of going to other people's homes for the New Year? Doesn't it mean that you can't go to other people's houses on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
"That's natural." Cheng Yanjin stroked his beard with a smile and said lightly: "We haven't been to Cui's house for several years, and since your mother married your father, we rarely go back, especially when your grandfather died, and I never went again." ”
"Huh? Why is that? Cheng Chubi couldn't help asking, in Cheng Chubi's memory, he really hadn't been to Cui's house, let alone the New Year.
It's a little weird, what the hell is going on?
"Why? Isn't it that those people in the Cui family look down on people? I don't like you, grandpa, I have a bad background, and I am not as rich as them. As soon as he mentioned this, he blew his beard and glared at him, looking a little angry.
"In the past, when I went to Cui's house with your aunt, those scholars pointed fingers at us, and they simply treated us as slaves, and they didn't eat good food, and there was no fat meat for them, so they simply regarded us as poor relatives begging!"
"Now that our family is rich, let's go to Qinghe Cui's house, and let those guys who look down on people see that my old Cheng's wealth is no worse than theirs!" Saying that, Cheng Yanjin laughed proudly, just like those nouveau riche in later generations.
"Grandpa, is this really good?" Cheng Chubi said weakly.
"What's so bad? You go too, even if Yu'er is not there, your second brother, as the emperor's son-in-law, can't leave, just looking at our big business, but Yao'er has to take it, your brother is a family......" Cheng Cuishi gushed endlessly.
I used to want to go back, but those people of the Cui family looked at the sky one by one, and those women often ridiculed Cheng Cui's wealth without them, which really made him itch with hatred.
No matter in any era, people like to compare, especially between relatives, as if their relatives are poorer and harder than themselves, and they are very happy.
The next day, a large group of people began to set out from the Lu Guogong Mansion and headed out of the city. Along the way, it caused a lot of people to look sideways.
Cheng Chubi brought Changsun Yao with him, originally wanting to stay with Princess Gaoyang, but he also understood that the relationship between the two was not bright now, so he could only take Changsun Yao and the eight Kunlun people.
The eighth Kunlun slave was won from Li You, and after more than a month of polishing, now he is also resigned to his fate, so he can only follow Cheng Chubi honestly.
Cheng Chubi also gave the other party a name: Cheng Bajie!
What the hell is the Eight Rings, anyway, the Kunlun slave doesn't know.
As for Lu Guogong's mansion, there are many people who go there, except for Cheng Chuliang, Lu Guogong's children have all gone, a large group of people, and the road is very lively.
Moreover, in this procession, in addition to the escort of more than 1,000 people, there were more than 50 carts of things, some of which were heavy on the ox carts, pressing the road and moving forward slowly, and I don't know what they were.
Cheng Chubi and Cheng Chuji sat on the horses, looking at the heavy ox carts, and it seemed that it would be difficult to go to Qinghe County in a month.
"Brother, what the hell is in this ox cart?" Cheng Chubi pointed to the ox carts and asked.
"Copper coins."
"Copper coins?"
"In the past, A-Niang took our brothers back to Qinghe to visit relatives, and the people of the Cui family said that A-Grandpa was a poor mud-legged man, and A-Niang went back to Chang'an directly in anger at that time." Cheng Chusi smiled slightly and said, "Didn't my Cheng family make a lot of money this year?" Ah Niang exchanged the gold and silver for ten carts of copper coins, and this time she was going to Cui Jiaxian. A-Niang said that this time she must raise her eyebrows and let those women of the Cui family who look down on people see who is the best to marry. ”
"Awesome, worthy of our grandpa and aunt." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Cheng Yanjin and Cheng Cui, who were talking and laughing in front of the ox cart.
Didn't you say that our family had no money? I'm going to kill you with money right now!
Domineering, it's really too domineering!
If the money is exchanged for gold, it will be about half a car, but they have to exchange it for copper money, and Cheng Chubi really convinces his father and mother.
Obviously, 1,000 yuan is 10 coins, and if you have to exchange it for a dime of copper, no one will accept it, so you will serve the two of you.
Cheng Yanjin and Cheng Cui's don't care so much, at this time, the two of them are on the horse, you and me, are showing their affection all the way.
"And what about the other ox carts?" Cheng Chubi asked.
"That's soybean oil, don't you know, now my Cheng family's soybean oil is also a rare thing, and the entire Tang Dynasty can afford to eat my Cheng family's soybean oil, all of them are nobles." Cheng Chuji said proudly, the Cheng family's soybean oil is not sold well, especially now that it is a holiday, it is much better.
"It's also used to show off?"
"Indeed!"
"And what about the other cars?"
"That's Shu embroidery, brocade and the like."
"Needless to say, it's also used to show off." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but roll his eyes, how much resentment did his wife have against the Cui family?
"That's true."
“……”
Cheng Chubi felt a little speechless, how much does this cost? I thought Chai Lingyu was a loser enough, but I didn't expect my wife to be even more loser!
No wonder Grandpa dared to set off with a thousand fierce troops, these riches were enough for the robbers who hid in the mountains and couldn't come out.
It's finally started, and everyone has a lot of support~~
