Chapter 174 Unusual
Three days before the festival, the repair of the embankment in Xiahe Village was finally completed.
Gao Sheng stood on the newly built river lift, looking at the embankment reinforced with lime mixed with mud, and felt a lot in his heart.
Your sister, it took nearly 200 yuan to repair this section of the embankment in Xiahe Village, no wonder even a noble doesn't like to do this.
In fact, he can completely control the cost at more than 100 yuan, but he never owes the farmer who comes to help, he is full of three meals a day, and there are large bowls of meat to eat at noon and dinner, and the salary is still paid, can the cost not be big?
The nobles of the Tang Dynasty, their favorite thing to do is to visit the Qinglou, play polo, and now they have another hobby, to the Pingkang imitation of the hero mahjong hall, rubbing mahjong with one hand, rubbing girls with one hand.
They would rather use hundreds of dollars to buy chips with a large face value in the hero mahjong hall, consistently a chip, show the demeanor of a card master, and then lose a big four happy cards, and lose hundreds of times in a game.
Let them spend hundreds of dollars on the farmers of the fiefdom, that is, to cut their flesh.
Gao Sheng sometimes feels that he likes this life of spending money lavishly.
Scrooge never knows how to spend money.
Looking at the villagers in Xiahe Village, returning home happily with the wages for repairing the river embankment, Gao Sheng was happy from the bottom of his heart.
The reinforcement of the river embankment has been completed, and he will go to Chang'an for a few days.
First, to fulfill the promise to Lao Cheng.
Hero mahjong hall, the rubbing of the card master of the hemp competition was held in the Lari Festival, although he is a master in this way, it doesn't matter if the game is not played, but he has half of the shares of the field, but do not go to see, in front of the old Cheng always can't say.
Second, he wanted to find out in Chang'an, the news that his daughter Gao Yue was in the palace and Li Mingyue.
People are common on weekdays, but I don't think there is anything important about parting, but when it comes to things and people, I find that some people are so important, so important that they don't see each other for a day.
As soon as Gao Shengyi appeared in the hero mahjong parlor of Pingkang's imitation, the little guy at the corresponding door explained his identity, and the little guy immediately ran to report.
After a while, I saw the little guy leading Cheng Chubi and Li Jingye, who had recovered from his injury, and rushed out of it with a happy face.
Cheng Chubi frowned and smiled, and said, "Third brother, are you here like this?" ”
Gao Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "I promised Lao Cheng a few days ago, do I dare to come?" ”
Cheng Chubi smiled with deep sympathy: "That's, that's." ”
He was also present at the time, and Gao Sheng personally promised Lao Cheng to participate in the hemp rubbing competition, but he didn't expect Gao Sheng to come to the hero mahjong hall a few days in advance.
"Third brother, I want to be dedicated!"
Caught off guard, Li Jingye pounced on him and gave him a bear hug, his arms hugged tightly, and he almost didn't strangle him to death.
When Gao Sheng rolled his eyes, he embarrassedly let go of the bear hug, making Cheng Chubi next to him laugh.
The three of them hurriedly entered the mahjong hall, and Gao Shengcai was shocked by the situation in the mahjong hall.
I saw that the mahjong hall was warm, there were mahjong tables and charcoal basins placed here, the fire was hot, the atmosphere inside was also prosperous, most of the people who came to rub mahjong were eunuchs, nobles, clan relatives, and from time to time there were foreign envoys.
He even saw a Japanese man in a kimono inside, and when he saw people, he nodded his head and bowed his waist, as if he felt inferior to others.
What Gao Sheng likes the most is that Yan Ji, who is wearing a skirt, shuttles through this group of mahjong tables, from time to time it is non-charcoal to add charcoal, pour tea and water for mahjong guests, or wave her hands and pose, and show off.
There are also generous mahjong players, who directly throw one or two chips to Yan Ji as a reward, so that these Yan Ji can serve more diligently.
The three of them walked through the mahjong parlor, came to the backyard of the mahjong parlor, and entered a room that had long been carrying wine and meat.
The three of them sat down, Li Jingye personally poured wine for Gao Sheng, and Cheng Chubi said with a smile: "Third brother, this place is good, right?" ”
Gao Sheng took a noncommittal sip of wine, if it weren't for the fact that it was a Persian wine, he wouldn't even be interested in drinking it.
Seeing Cheng Chubi and Li Jingye looking at themselves with blank eyes, and wanting him to praise him, Gao Sheng said lightly: "It's so-so." ”
"Or is it just so-so?"
Cheng Chubi was dumbfounded, and his face suddenly became a horse face, stretched very long, and he felt that he was a failure enough.
Lu Guogong's Mansion is completely in accordance with Gao Sheng's idea, opening a mahjong parlor, and the business model is in accordance with Gao Sheng's explanation, no matter how big or small, he thinks that Lu Guogongfu has done the ultimate, but Gao Sheng is "so-so" to evaluate, too shocking.
"There are some things that can't be done at this stage, and it's none of your business with the Lu Guogong Mansion."
Seeing Cheng Chubi's entangled look, Gao Sheng hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Isn't Chu Bi serving as an ordnance supervisor, how can he have time to manage the property of the Lu Guogong Mansion?" ”
Cheng Chubi looked indifferent, and said: "Since the Dao Weapons Supervisor became an old man, handed over the third brother to us for the new steelmaking method, and taught the craftsmen of the Weapons Supervisor, Di Fatzi returned to Dali Temple, Yuan Zhong returned to the Ministry of Industry, and Xiaojie returned to Zuo Tunwei. ”
Li Jingye hurriedly said: "It's okay, you know that the ordnance supervisor is the land where the ordnance of the government army is made, and the officials in that place are usually superior, and I will lead the army in the future, you have to make it convenient for me." ”
Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes at Li Jingye and said: "Jingye, even you went to Lao Cheng's Zuotunwei to get a captain, I don't know what Lao Cheng thinks, let his son stay in the ordnance prison and watch the stove every day, is this a human job?" ”
Li Jingye knew that his words made Cheng Chubi uncomfortable, and he was busy with an embarrassed dry smile.
Gao Sheng found out the taste from the conversation between the two, it should be Lao Cheng looking for personal self and caring about his young son, so he didn't let him join the army, but put him in the arms prison.
Now that his brothers have entered the Zuotun Guard under Lao Cheng, can Cheng Chubi be happy?
Gao Sheng comforted him with a smile: "Chu Bi, you look at the flower world of Chang'an, the boiling voices in the hero mahjong hall, the man is alive, sometimes eat, drink, and be idle, isn't it beautiful?" ”
Cheng Chubi looked at him, his face turned bitter, and said: "Third brother, although I know that you are for my good, eating, drinking, and being idle all day long, that is also what I didn't think, but shouldn't a good man fight on the battlefield and serve the country?" ”
Gao Sheng shrugged helplessly and said, "Joining the army is to die." Only when people live can they enjoy everything in the world and enjoy the life they have accomplished, right? ”
In fact, he had no intention of convincing Cheng Chubi, because he joined the army from Li Jingye, and Cheng Chubi smelled an unusual smell in the army, it seems, who is Datang going to fight with......
