Chapter 51: Reward

Like the vast majority of noble children, Jiang Wuyang's reputation in the capital is not good.

Many comments such as idleness, lack of progress, evil, stubbornness, etc., are specially set for people like Jiang Wuyang.

Zhang Lingyang didn't wait to see Jiang Wuyang.

Zhang Lingyang never hides this.

This is not just because Jiang Wuyang has achieved nothing, but because Jiang Wuyang is now forty-five years old, and he still doesn't care about doing things.

Originally, Zhang Lingyang planned to look at the face of Jiang Cheng, the Duke of Dingguo, and give Jiang Wuyang a tolerance.

But after the Jinyi guard investigated Jiang Wuyang's past deeds, Zhang Lingyang dispelled this idea.

What kind of character Jiang Wuyang is, no one knows better than Jiang Cheng, who is a father.

Therefore, even though Jiang Wuyang instigated Jiang Cheng several times and wanted Jiang Cheng to ask Zhang Lingyang for a favor, Jiang Cheng never opened his mouth.

No, Jiang Wuyang, who was standing next to Jiang Cheng, kept making small movements, squeezing his eyebrows at Jiang Cheng from time to time, suggesting that his father Jiang Cheng would say good things about himself to Zhang Lingyang.

But Jiang Cheng didn't seem to see it, looked at the hot scene on the field, and laughed with Zhang Lingyang from time to time.

After a while, Li Ergou stepped forward with the prepared dishes.

The dishes were placed on the table in front of him, and Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but smile when he saw it.

What do you say?

The dish made by Li Ergou is the most ordinary mapo tofu!

Mapo tofu is a very famous dish in Sichuan cuisine, but it is also a very home-cooked dish.

"I want to taste what kind of tricks this Li Ergou can make into the home-cooked dish of mapo tofu?" With a secret sigh in his heart, Zhang Lingyang picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and tasted it carefully.

As soon as the tofu was in his mouth, Zhang Lingyang was stunned.

Numb, spicy, crispy, fragrant, tender, fresh, hot, for a while, Zhang Lingyang's mouth was mixed, and he couldn't help but praise: "I have never eaten such delicious mapo tofu!" ”

Then, Zhang Lingyang turned around again, looked at Jiang Cheng and said with a smile: "Old Guogong, I am a little reluctant to give you this Li Ergou!" ”

"Your Majesty is laughing!" Although facing the emperor, Jiang Cheng didn't let it go at all, "Lao Chen can enjoy so little now, please Your Majesty for the sake of Lao Chen's conscientious work all his life, give up Li Ergou!" ”

Jiang Cheng's words were full of begging.

Zhang Lingyang knew that Jiang Cheng was just joking to adjust the atmosphere, so he pretended to be reluctant and said: "I am really reluctant!" ”

Then, Zhang Lingyang sighed again and said, "That's it! For the sake of the old man who has worked hard for Da Zhou for so many years, I will endure the pain of love today! ”

"The old minister thanked Your Majesty!" Jiang Cheng is very grateful.

"But!" As soon as Zhang Lingyang's voice changed, he continued: "But in the future, I will go to the old man's house for dinner, and the old man will not be reluctant!" ”

"Your Majesty can come to the cold house, and the old ministers will naturally treat each other with a couch!"

As he spoke, Zhang Lingyang and Jiang Cheng glanced at each other and laughed.

"Jiang Wuyang, bring this mapo tofu to your father to taste!" Glancing at Jiang Wuyang, who was constantly squeezing his eyebrows at Jiang Cheng, Zhang Lingyang ordered angrily.

Jiang Wuyang picked up the plate of mapo tofu from the table in front of Zhang Lingyang with both hands, and put it directly on the table in front of Jiang Cheng, and then stood there like a door god.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyang's brows wrinkled slightly, and he scolded: "I don't have the slightest eyesight, like a fool, don't you see that your father is unable to move?" ”

"Oh!" Jiang Wuyang realized for a long time that Zhang Lingyang was talking about himself, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve Jiang Cheng a plate and chopsticks.

But because of the hurry, the tableware on the table was messed up.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyang's brows furrowed a little tighter, and he shouted: "Jiang Wuyang, how far is it, how far are you going to roll me!" ”

Jiang Wuyang looked at Zhang Lingyang innocently, and saw that Zhang Lingyang showed signs of anger, so he hurriedly replied: "Minister, get out!" Get out! ”

As he spoke, Jiang Wuyang disappeared into Zhang Lingyang's sight like a puff of smoke.

"Kiko Ko!" Zhang Lingyang turned around and shouted, Feng Xiyi will, came to Jiang Cheng and saluted: "Grandpa Guo, the slave is waiting for you to eat!" ”

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! Jiang Cheng excused himself.

After all, the services of a eunuch like Feng Xi, except for the emperor who can enjoy it, the rest of them are not qualified at all.

"Grandpa Guo, you can dine with peace of mind!" As he spoke, Feng Xi stepped forward to put the tableware on the table in place, and then sandwiched the mapo tofu on the plate one by one into the small plate in front of Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng also enjoyed it with peace of mind.

After taking a few sips, Jiang Cheng waved his hand and motioned for Feng Xi to stop. Then he turned to look at Zhang Lingyang and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you also saw that the dog Wuyang can't be on the stage, and the old minister is very worried, so he wants to ask His Majesty for another reward!" ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! Zhang Lingyang thought that Jiang Cheng was pleading with Jiang Wuyang, so he said with a straight face.

Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "The old minister only has a son like Wuyang under his knees, but he can't be on the stage. Lao Chen is worried that once Lao Chen is a hundred years later, Wu Yang, the child, will inherit the title of Lao Chen, but he is afraid that he will be even more lawless. Therefore, the old minister begged His Majesty to inherit the title of the old minister to the eldest grandson of the old minister after a hundred years. In this way, after a hundred years, the old minister will have the face to meet the ancestors and ancestors! ”

"I don't know if the grandson of the old man can be at the scene? I'll see you first. Zhang Lingyang was not in a hurry to reply.

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't be able to see Lao Chen's grandson in a short time!" ”

"Why is that?" Zhang Lingyang wondered.

Jiang Cheng said: "The grandson of the old minister has followed Ma Jinzhong, the general of the expedition to the west, to the western frontier half a year ago! ”

"Oh!" Zhang Lingyang suddenly realized, and after pondering for a while, Zhang Lingyang replied: "Since the old prince is so pleading, if I don't agree, it will be a little unkind!" ”

"I agree to the old man's request!"

Seeing Zhang Lingyang's agreement, Jiang Cheng immediately got up from the stool excitedly and knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Old Minister!" ”

"What is the old man doing, hurry up!" As he spoke, Zhang Lingyang motioned to Feng Xi to help Jiang Cheng up from the ground.

Zhang Lingyang had never seen what Jiang Cheng's grandson looked like, and originally thought that most of the noble children were stubborn.

But when I heard Jiang Cheng say this, I felt a little moved in my heart. This is because the vast majority of the noble children of the Great Zhou are idle people, if they are allowed to catch chickens, dogs, and prostitutes, they can play different tricks, but once they are allowed to do the right thing, I am afraid that nine times out of ten they will mess things up.

But Jiang Cheng's grandson followed Ma Jinzhong, the general of Zhengxi, to the western frontier, which was completely different from those ointment children.

No matter what purpose Jiang Cheng's grandson went to the Western Xinjiang with in mind, whether he was going to gild or really to protect his family and defend the country, it is undeniable that he is much stronger than the vast majority of noble children.

It was also because of this that Zhang Lingyang agreed to Jiang Cheng's request.
