After Cheng Biting Jin left, Li Sheng was in pain. Cheng Huaimo knocked on Li Sheng's door, and when Li Sheng opened the door and saw that it was Cheng Huaimo, he was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere. However, Li Sheng still decided to welcome him into the house, as for why, that is, Li Sheng wanted to find some balance.

What is Cheng Huaimo doing, Li Sheng's toes can think of it. Cheng Huaimo came to get wine, which made Li Sheng's hair a little excited. Your father killed the labor-capital, and the labor-management got it back from the small killing.

"Oops! Isn't this Brother Cheng Mo? Come in! Brother Cheng Mo's visit to the Humble House is really brilliant! Come on in! Li Sheng had a smile on his face, and the etiquette was also very thoughtful. Xiao Man's waist bowed slightly, and he hugged his hands and saluted Cheng Huaimo.

Cheng Huaimo saw that Li Sheng welcomed him so much, and he was also very face-saving. glanced at the entourage behind him, and the entourage immediately carried a gift and handed it to Li Sheng.

"This ......, Brother Cheng Mo will come, what other gifts will he bring, how can this little brother afford it?" Li Sheng said pretendedly, and the gift was still accepted.

"Brother Cheng Mo, don't stand outside the door, please come in!" Li Sheng let Cheng Huaimo go again.

Cheng Huaimo walked into the courtyard and said, "It's just some pastry brocade, as long as you don't dislike it." ”

The two walked to the table in the courtyard and sat down. Li Sheng thought to himself, Xiao Kill is much stronger than Old Kill, Xiao Kill also knows how to buy some gifts, this old thing not only didn't bring gifts, but also snatched 100 catties of wine before leaving. How much the fucking 100 pounds have to sell for?

"Brother Cheng Mo, what's the matter with coming here?"

"It's not like the last time I drank your wine, and I drank other drinks and it felt like drinking horse urine. You can also see that I am a good drinker. I don't know how much stock you have at home, I'll pay for some. "Cheng Huaimo is much stronger than Cheng Biting Jin, and what he said made it difficult for Li Sheng to start.

"Brother Cheng Mo, you also know that small households don't have much grain in stock, and only when there is a surplus of grain, they are willing to make some wine. Brother there isn't much left here, it's better to go buy some meat and come back, Brother Cheng Mo and I have a drink, these three or five catties are still available. After Li Sheng praised Cheng Huaimo, he still decided to get some oil and water out of his body, so as to relieve the depression in his heart.

After Huaimo heard Li Sheng's words, he heard that there was wine to drink. He didn't think about anything else, waved his hand to his entourage, and said, "Bring the meat you brought." My brother and I are going to eat and drink. ”

The entourage quickly brought a food box, and after opening it, Li Sheng saw that there was not even a plate in it, and his mother was full of large pieces of beef and mutton.

Li Sheng can't be calm, it was illegal to eat beef in the Tang Dynasty, according to the criminal law of the Tang Dynasty, slaughtering ploughing cattle for food without permission will be sentenced to one year in prison. No one shall slaughter a ploughing ox unless it is old and disabled. Even if they are old and disabled, they must report to the government before they can be slaughtered.

Cheng Huaimo seemed to understand Li Sheng's worries, and said with a smile: "There is a cow in the village that broke its leg, and it has been reported to the government, so it is okay to eat with confidence." ”

Li Sheng looked at Cheng Huaimo's proud and cheap appearance, and knew that this ploughing cow was definitely not a broken leg under normal circumstances. However, the Guogong Mansion killed a cow, and ordinary people did not dare to take the Guogong Mansion to anything. Li Sheng didn't care about anything anymore, anyway, having beef to eat was much better than eating greasy mutton.

Cheng Huaimo couldn't help frowning when he saw Li Sheng take out a small jar of spirits. If he knew that this small altar was still left over from Li Sheng and Guan Laowu, he would definitely spray Li Sheng in the face.

Li Sheng politely poured the wine for Cheng Huaimo, and poured half a large porcelain bowl, and Li Sheng stopped pouring it. Cheng Huaimo didn't feel embarrassed to say anything, he picked it up and dried it in one go, it seems that this gang is really not good.

"Good wine! It's still strong in this wine, and the rest of the wine is all fucking horse urine. Cheng Huaimo was nibbling on the beef, and he was still praising the good wine. One sentence made all the people in Datang drink horse urine.

"Brother Cheng Mo, that's all for today, please don't be surprised by Brother Cheng Mo." Li Sheng looked embarrassed.

"What's the matter, it's just half a bowl! That's a lot of fun, brother can't be boring, I brought money. Don't drink in vain! "Cheng Huaimo is gone, his mother just came to feel it, you don't have it, this is more uncomfortable than a little daughter-in-law.

"Brother Cheng Mo, don't you know, this wine was brewed by me to honor Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty seal your younger brother a county boy a while ago. I made this wine and wanted to present it to Your Majesty. There are indeed hundreds of catties at home, but you can't give it to Brother Cheng Mo to drink anymore, otherwise you won't be able to make up a whole number. Li Sheng was embarrassed, and overreported a few hundred catties.

"Brother, you are also a person who knows how to repay your kindness, and you are also very filial to Your Majesty, brother, I admire you. But I do have a good wine, can my brother give me a hundred and ten pounds? I'll pay, you can make a price as you like. ”

Li Sheng wanted to take the bait, but if he asked for too high a price, Cheng would not be able to spare himself if he was an old killer, and he had to let him give the money himself.

Cheng Huaimo saw that Li Sheng was groaning, so he waved to the entourage behind him and said, "Take the money, take all the money I brought." ”

"Don't! Brother Cheng Mo, you are embarrassed brother. ”

Cheng Huaimo is naturally bound to win, and he will definitely not give Li Sheng room to maneuver. So he opened his mouth and said: "Brother, you can't refuse, when your brother's is not bought for you, the ancients said that what is the righteousness of a gentleman?" ”

"The righteousness of wealth!" Li Sheng immediately said.

"Yes, the meaning of wealth. You give me wine, I'll give you money. You see that your family is also a little chilling, it is really not worthy of your identity as a county man, brother, this is giving you some money to build a house. Brother won't not give face to his brother, right? What Cheng Huaimo said is so affectionate that anyone can refuse. After he finished speaking, he admired himself a little, and looked at the entourage behind him very proudly, and the entourage hurriedly gave him an approving look, which made Cheng Huaimo even more proud.

The attendant brought a package, which he opened on the table, five silver cakes, and six copper coins. When Li Sheng saw the money, his breath was a little short. His mother is really rich, hundreds of thousands, just buy a hundred catties of wine, and the Moutai of later generations is not worth this price.

"Brother Cheng Mo, it's not good for you to be like this, this is making it difficult for the little brother to be a man. This wine is indeed not easy to even, this is the little brother Jin to His Majesty. If this is known to outsiders, the younger brother will be suspected of bullying the king. Li Sheng was very embarrassed, because he couldn't let Cheng Yanjin know after collecting the money.

"If you hear it, no one can say it outside, if there is the slightest wind outside, be careful of your dog's legs." After Cheng Huaimo warned his entourage, he said: "Brother Xian, I can't help but give my brother wine this time, if I don't give it again, I will look down on my brother a little." ”

"Since Brother Cheng Mo is so sincere, and the younger brother is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to lift, I'll go and carry wine for the elder brother." As if he had made up his mind, Li Sheng turned around and went inside.

Cheng Huaimo suddenly became happy, and immediately ordered his entourage to help. Five jars of spirits, one jar of twenty catties, was moved outside the courtyard by Cheng Huaimo's entourage. Cheng Huaimo was in a hurry to drink, so he stopped staying at Li Sheng's house, and left like Li Sheng's farewell. Nothing was taken away from the food box and meat.

Li Sheng looked at the money and meat on the table, not to mention his joy, as if he had taken revenge. Li Sheng took the silver cake money back to the house, and he planned to give the meat to Guan Lao Wu's family, Guan Lao Wu's three children were all very thin, and Li Sheng also felt very pitiful.

Near noon, Li Sheng left the house. After a few steps, Li Sheng came to Guan Laowu's house, and it happened that Guan went home to get dry food, and after a morning of work, he still had to eat something. This thing was unthinkable before, since Guan Lao Wu got back the consistent money from Xianyang County, plus Li Sheng stole some money from the Guan family, Guan Lao Wu's family can also have one more meal at noon.

"Auntie, there are some meat and pastries here, which were brought by the nobles of Chang'an City. I'll give it to Guan Fu and them, and if you have more meat, you can eat some too. Li Sheng also brought the pastries brought by Cheng Huaimo.

Guan Fu is the eldest son of Guan Lao Wu, who is ten years old this year, and when he saw Li Sheng bring meat pastries, he happily took it. As soon as Guan wanted to stop him, he was stopped by Li Sheng.

"Auntie, don't say more, the family doesn't talk about two families."

After Li Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go back, and Guan hurriedly shouted: "Nephew of the Li family, don't panic first, my aunt has something to tell you." ”

Li Sheng stopped and said, "What's the matter with Auntie?" ”

"Originally, I wanted him to talk to you when your fifth uncle came back in the evening. Since I saw you first, I'll tell you. When your fifth uncle and I were working in the fields, I heard from people in the same village that the army of the imperial court had returned to the court, and your father must be coming back soon. You're the county baron, you go and inquire. See if it's true? Guan babbled for a long time before he finished speaking.

Li Sheng thought about it for a while, combined with the memories of the two lives, and also understood. In the first year of Zhenguan, the Jieli army came to the city of Chang'an, Li Shimin emptied the treasury, and disintegrated the fighting spirit of the various tribes within Jieli, plus Hou Junji raided Jieli's right-wing army and desperately crushed the right-wing army. Jieli didn't know the reality of the Tang army, so Jieli had to withdraw from the army.

The whole country, from Li Shimin to the ordinary people, were ashamed of this war, Taoguang was obscure for three years, and in August of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin took Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, as the commander, and launched the Northern Expedition against the Jieli Department. Li Sheng's father, Li Erhu, also joined the army at this time.

According to historical records, in February this year, Li Jingdang Pingmobei returned to the court, Li Sheng remembered that it was the fourth year of Zhenguan, that is, in May this year, Li Jing led the headquarters back to Chang'an, Li Sheng calculated, it is only half of March now, and there is still more than a month before Li Erhu can come back.

Since getting the news that Li Erhu was coming back, Li Sheng had indeed hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to face such a father. said that it was not his father, but this body was related to him by blood; Yes, the soul that dominates this body is from the Hereafter. Li Sheng is also very conflicted and doesn't know how to face it.

However, Li Sheng didn't have time to think about this now, because Cheng Yanjin sent the housekeeper of the family to sign a contract with Li Sheng. At this time, Li Sheng had already been taken into the winery of the Guogongfu and was teaching the workers in the Guogongfu winery to brew distilled spirits. From the making of the still, to the distillation and blending. Li Sheng was busy for more than half a month before he stopped.

For more than half a month, I have been eating and living in the winery, and I have no time to go home. Cheng Huaimo followed Li Sheng when he saw the sky, and he didn't mess with other gentlemen, so he followed Li Sheng's ass to taste wine. Every time I get drunk, it's over, but the relationship between the two is skyrocketing.

After working for half a month, Li Sheng was trying to go home, and Cheng Huaimo wanted to follow Li Sheng again. The United States said that it was to escort Li Sheng back to his home, and he didn't want to think about it, the Great Wall City to Lijia Village was only twenty miles away, did he still use an escort? It's true that I want to go to Li Sheng's house to drink secretly. Since tasting wine with Li Sheng, Cheng Huaimo is drunk again, Cheng Biting Jin will not beat him anymore, Cheng Huaimo will go to Li Sheng as long as he wants to drink. Every time he got drunk, his entourage would always use the pretense of following Li Sheng to try new wine.

As soon as Li Sheng and Cheng Huaimo and their entourage entered Lijia Village, they heard a commotion coming from the direction of Li Sheng's house. Approaching the door, Li Sheng was sure that the noise was indeed coming from his house.

Li Sheng sat on the horse, and saw through the courtyard wall that there were four or five tables of people in the courtyard, and they were gathering people to drink. Most of the people who drank were soldiers in armor, and Guan Lao Wu and a few people from the same village were among them. On the main seat of a table in the middle of the courtyard, there was a burly man in civilian clothes, Li Sheng recognized it at a glance, this person was his father Li Erhu. Li Erhu sat there, loudly boasting about his heroic deeds in battle.

The people in the courtyard didn't notice Li Sheng and his party, and only cared about drinking loudly. Cheng Huaimo couldn't stand it, because what they drank was Li Sheng's distilled liquor, and it seemed that they had made a lot of it, which made Cheng Huaimo unbearable.

Cheng Huaimo shouted across the courtyard wall: "Damn, don't finish drinking, leave some for my old Cheng!" ”

The courtyard was instantly quiet, Li Erhu saw Li Sheng, he was stunned for a moment, and he was overjoyed in an instant, laughing and said: "Baby, come and see a few of your uncles, these are all father's life and death brothers." ”
