Chapter 180: Zhang Zhongjian (Thank you for the 100 starting coins rewarded by the Lin family)

Li Chengqian shook his head indifferently, he had no consciousness of being a proton at all, and looked at Zhang Zhongjian with a smile.

Li Chengqian smiled brightly, and Zhang Zhongjian also had a hint of joy as a host, nodded with some satisfaction, and then clapped his hands.

"Let's get started......"

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then the waiter lit the lights in the palace, and then the slender maid brought up the dishes on the table one by one, and the housekeeper introduced these exotic delicacies one by one, but when it was time to serve the wine, Zhang Zhongjian interjected.

"The prince brewed in the second year of Zhenguan, this was brought back from the Central Plains by the camel team with great difficulty, and His Royal Highness is probably familiar with this wine."

"Uh......" Li Chengqian picked up the wine and looked at it gently, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It's familiar, this wine~ hehe." ”

Zhang Zhongjian looked at him as if his face was a little tangled, and then asked, "But what's wrong?" ”

Inappropriate? Naturally, it was inappropriate, Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, pointed to the jar of wine and said: "In the second year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty locust plague, Your Majesty wanted to open Taicang to release grain, but Taicang's grain was deposited for too long...... In desperation, the palace begged His Majesty to make this grain into fine wine, and exchanged some grain with Tuyuhun, but at that time, he was afraid that the lawbreakers would want to use the wine for profit, so he made a mark on this jar. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to 666 on the altar and said, "Change is this kind of sign." ”

"This, haha~ I drank a glass of wine, I thought this was already a heavenly elixir, but unexpectedly~ haha,." Zhang Zhongjian smiled, picked up a stall of wine, sniffed it gently, and then put it down with some reluctance, turned to the housekeeper on the side and said, "Go~ drive the Hu merchant who sold my wine out of Gaochang." ”

turned to laugh, looked at Li Chengqian on the side and said: "Your Highness doesn't know the rules of this Gaochang Kingdom, Hu Shang has always been honest in doing business, and most of those who deceive businessmen like this are expelled from the country and will not be allowed to enter the country for life." ”

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "That's true, people are not trustworthy and righteous." It's just that in my heart, I am a little disdainful of Zhang Zhongjian's pseudo-generosity, and the person who can buy wine in the hands of the Tuyuhun nobles cannot be a first-class second-rate businessman, this grandson is just taking the opportunity to make money.

The setting sun hung obliquely on the eastern city wall, sprinkling the warm yellow light all over the courtyard, the faint voice of Hu Xuan sounded in the main hall, the orchid who was frozen and turned blue, with a gentle and stiff little face constantly trembling naked body, Zhang Zhongjian stroked his palm and echoed the melody, Li Chengqian also looked at everything with a smile, and looked down at the pure-looking maid from time to time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Everything is fine~"

He is a person who knows war very well, and his preparations for some wars have long been buried deep in his bones, after all, he is more familiar with the process of world development than anyone else, and will make some more or less arrangements for these processes.

For Li Chengqian, it seems that it has become a habit to develop one or two senior spies among the surrounding countries, especially those nobles, who know how to make themselves easily recognized by others, and also know how to hide themselves from outsiders.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that without any arrangement, Li Chengqian easily came into contact with such a spy. I have to say that this trick is still somewhat prescient.

The maid didn't seem to hear what Li Chengqian was saying, but just knelt down and gently filled him with wine, or used a hand-solving knife to cut off a small piece of the freshly baked hump and put it on the porcelain plate in front of Li Chengqian, everything was so natural and familiar.

Li Chengqian enjoyed the delicious food, watched the pleasing performance, drank the refreshing wine, and echoed from time to time, completely looking like a faint gentleman who couldn't think of it.

Zhang Zhongjian is naturally in a good mood, even if he has considered the process of meeting the two countless times, but he never expected that it would be such a harmonious way now.

I suddenly let go of some things in my heart, and began to plan for the future with pride.

When the dinner party was dispersed, Zhang Zhongjian enthusiastically took Li Chengqian to an elegant courtyard, and proudly gave him the servant girl named Zixun who served Li Chengqian at night, and turned around and walked out of the courtyard with a smile on his face.

Zixun didn't resist much, as if she was an ordinary servant, she began to do some things within her own control, or clean the bedroom, saying that she skillfully took out some clothes or quilts and other things in the cabinet, and there was always a strange and respectful look on her face, just like an ordinary maidservant, without the slightest change.

"Your name is Zi Xun? How old is this year? ”

"Well, my son's name is Zixun, and he is sixteen this year." The girl's voice was a little glutinous, very good, Li Chengqian smiled slightly, and the corner of his eye glanced at a figure in the courtyard, and then hugged the girl who was making the bed in his arms, got up and closed the doors and windows.

At this time, in Zhang Zhongjian's study, Zhang Zhongjian was writing and painting with a solemn face, only to see a figure in front of the desk, then raised his head to take a look, and continued to do his own thing.

"There's nothing wrong...... the shadow recounted what had happened, and then he said, "Tomorrow morning, I'm sending someone to keep an eye on ......."

There was silence in the room.

"No need, after waiting for the success here, that guy will be sent to Tuyuhun, and he will not be allowed to contact outsiders during this period..." Zhang Zhongjian commanded quietly, and then seemed to remember something: "The servants of these days need to be closely monitored, and this matter must not be known to outsiders, so I ordered Zixun to follow that kid all the way until Tuyuhun." ”

As he spoke, he glanced up at the figure, and the figure understood, turned around and walked out the door.

Seeing the man walk out of the door, Zhang Zhongjian breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the piece in his hand and blew on it, and then smiled slightly.

"After years of planning, it has finally paid off......

At the end of October, the temperature had dropped, and the sky was bright late, until the first rays of sunlight shone into the room through the window, Li Chengqian rubbed his swollen head, and began to do a lot of everything around him in a daze.

Listening closely, the hustle and bustle of the streets, the chaotic hawking of the merchants, and even the whispers of the servants in the courtyard poured into his mind.

Just wanted to get up, but looked out the window as if there was a light and shadow flashing slightly, Li Chengqian stopped his movements and raised his eyebrows instead.

After a short time, the clothes were put on neatly, and the servants respectfully handed over the hot water and gently wiped Li Chengqian's body with a towel. Her figure was reflected in the hallway, her steps were light, and in a short time the room was already crowded.

Zhang Zhongjian is a hospitable person and a very rational person, and last night's hospitality gave Li Chengqian a new understanding of him.

A businessman, a very shrewd businessman, even if he has been active in the court for so many years, he still has not changed the fact that he is a businessman.

Li Chengqian is a person who hates trouble, he doesn't look for trouble, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to others, when he is bored, he reads in the courtyard, and occasionally when he gets tired of it, he walks around the prime minister's mansion, and when he is really bored, he and the new maidservant girl in the house Hu Tianhai, October, he passed away quietly in this relatively quiet state.
