Chapter 85: Confessor?
Qinglou liquor has always been the favorite place of literati and scholars, and in the Tang Dynasty, if you don't have a good one in Qinglou, you are embarrassed to say that you are a literati.
After the next dynasty, some civil servants with relatively small official positions came to Pingkangfang in twos and threes, which is the largest entertainment venue in the Tang Dynasty, and those who have a little money come here.
No matter how the outside world changes, Pingkangfang is still full of the sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of tunes.
In a box in the Wanhua Pavilion, five or six scholars listened to the music, accompanied by the waitress next to them, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
They talked in twos and threes, and let out a loud laugh from time to time.
One of them lifted the bar, drank it all, and said, "Refreshing, refreshing!" Have you heard? Cheng Sanlang scolded the prince for the second time, and he didn't even have the power to refute the prince and Wei Wangtai! ”
"No one in the whole Tang Dynasty knows about this matter now, I used to think that Cheng San was just a greedy man for money, but I didn't expect that he was not afraid of power, iron-clad, and he was really a generation of courtiers!" Another scholar couldn't help but sigh and said, "Cheng San Cheng Xuanji, only Cheng Mad Monk dares to angrily reprimand the prince and King Wei." ”
"I like his sentence the most, 'Qin Shimingyue and Han Shiguan, the Long March has not been returned, but the dragon city will fly, and Hu Ma will not be taught to do Yin Mountain!' , he angrily reprimanded the prince, like the sound of thunder, angrily reprimanded the king of Wei, Zheng Zheng iron bones. Another gentleman said.
"It is said that after hearing Cheng Sanlang's words, the old minister of Wei laughed again and again, and said: 'Chenchen, Xuchen, after the death of a certain person, there will be a successor to the way of the Tang Dynasty's minister."
"Really?" The others couldn't help asking.
"This is coming from the Wei Mansion, can it be fake? It is said that there was also Master Confucius present at that time, and he was also full of praise for Cheng San. ”
"It's really the style of a generation of courtiers."
“……”
This kind of thing happened in other Qinglou restaurants, Cheng Chubi didn't know that his words were called a generation of courtiers, if Cheng Chubi knew, he would definitely cry. Since ancient times, there has been no good end for the ministers, such as Bigan, Wei Zheng, and Yu Qian.
At the same time, Cheng Chubi had just returned from Lan Ruoxuan, returned to the princess's mansion, ordered someone to boil water, and then began to brew tea.
Eat mutton every day, and if you don't drink some tea, your stomach will be uncomfortable.
However, as soon as the tea was hot, a figure walked in in from outside in a panic, and it was Cheng Di.
"What?" Cheng Chubi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
"The King of Wei is visiting." Cheng Di said.
"Li Tai? What is he doing here? Cheng Chubi was a little puzzled, he and King Wei didn't have any friendship at all, what was he doing?
Quickly stood up, strode outside, and came to the gate, only to see King Wei standing outside with a smile waiting at this time, and the people behind him were carrying a mouthful of big red boxes, and there were ten boxes. It's heavy, and it seems that there are a lot of goods in it.
And there are more people around, all of them are those meritorious children and some slaves nearby, the people of the Tang Dynasty like to watch the excitement, Wei Wangtai actually came to the princess's mansion, they got the report, and naturally followed to take a look.
Seeing Cheng Chubi appear, King Wei showed an extremely happy smile on his face, and the chubby figure walked forward, then took Cheng Chubi's hand and said, "Brother-in-law, are you still satisfied with this?" ”
"What is this?" Cheng was puzzled.
"This is a gift from my little brother to you, you did the king a great favor yesterday, hahaha......" Li Tai laughed, looking quite deliberate, and his voice was deliberately raised a lot, for fear that the people around him would not be able to hear his voice.
"Huh?" In this case, Cheng Chubi couldn't help frowning slightly, there must be a demon when things go wrong, why did Wei Wangtai give himself a gift for no reason? And in person?
"I see!" Soon, Cheng Chubi figured out what this guy meant, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of playfulness.
He strode to the side of the chests, told them to be put down, and then opened them, and saw that ten chests were full of fine brocade silk, and each chest must contain at least twenty horses. That's a lot of money.
"Hey, Qingque, you said you came when you came, why did you bring so many gifts?" Cheng Chubi said with a smile: Besides, as a prince, isn't it too shabby and too cheap to give such a gift? Next time, remember to send some gold, silver, jewelry, etc., especially gold, you don't know, your sister Xinping likes gold the most. ”
Hearing Cheng Chubi's words, Li Tai really wanted to press Cheng Chubi on the ground and beat him hard, you are too little of so much brocade, how greedy are you for money?
"However, for your sake, even if it's a pile of garbage, I have no choice but to accept it." Cheng Chubi patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said, "Cheng Tianchengdi, why don't you quickly ask someone to send all the boxes to the warehouse?" Do you still want to wait for King Wei to send it to you? ”
"Yes, colt!" Cheng Di Cheng Tian and the others hurriedly said, and then a group of people walked into the Cheng Mansion with a large box.
"Qingque, do you want to go into the house to have a look? Anyway, you haven't even entered the mansion to drink a sip of tea when you come to the present, although Princess Xinping's mansion is simple, but you must not dislike it......" Cheng Chubi said endlessly, but there was no trace of wanting to invite Li Tai into the mansion.
"Tai still has important things to do, so I won't bother my brother-in-law." Li Tai ninja was angry, got into the carriage with the help of the servant, and then arched his hand and said, "Tai will take his leave first." ”
"Then go slowly, remember to come back next time." Cheng Chubi greeted Li Tai and the others with a smile, and when he saw that they were all leaving, he walked slowly towards the mansion humming a song.
Got rich, got rich, the brocade of this era is also money, a good brocade is ten taels of silver, this guy gave so much silver to himself, how can Cheng Chubi not be happy?
When I returned home, the water had been boiling for a long time, and a servant had already helped Cheng Chubi make tea, and then lay down next to him and drank tea slowly.
Life is so beautiful.
After a while, Chai Lingyu came back from outside, and he didn't have time to change out of his military uniform, so he strode towards Cheng Chubi's side, came to Cheng Chubi's side, and asked, "Did you accept King Wei's money today?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Didn't you think about the consequences?"
"What's the consequence or not, it's just a big deal that everyone thinks of my Wei Wangtai." Cheng Chubi said nonchalantly: "I won't lose a piece of meat." What's all the fuss about? ”
"But in this way, it will arouse the hostility of the prince and Li Ke towards you."
"It's as if I don't accept King Wei's property, and Li Chengqian's kid has a good impression of me." Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, maybe Li Chengqian will send the money himself soon." ”
"You ......" Seeing Cheng Chubi like this, Chai Lingyu really didn't know what to say about him.
"Pony, pony!" After a while, Cheng Di ran in from outside in a panic.
"What's wrong?"
"Go to the inner library and have a look, there's something in that box."
"What? Something? ”
Cheng Chubi quickly stood up, and then strode towards the inner library, only to see that the inner library was full of gold, silver and a lot of silk cloth, and the ten large boxes were placed on the ground, and after the brocade inside was taken out, the gold inside was revealed.
It turns out that there are still a lot of horseshoe gold in the lower layer of the silk cloth, and it is also a new horseshoe gold that has been cast in Princess Xinping's mansion, which is golden and golden.
"This Li Tai, give gifts, give gifts, why hide it? The next time he told him that if he wanted to decorate it, he would have it all covered with gold, and that the brocade would be decorated as little as he could. Cheng Chubi looked at the gold happily, it seems that the power behind Li Tai is indeed very large, and I don't know how many families have been co-opted by him.
Seeing this gold, Cheng Chubi knew that Datang was about to surge.
