Chapter 405 Teahouse
Seeing that the sun was shining, it was time for lunch, and there were more workers resting in the teahouse. Originally, Nanyang was a prosperous area, but after the last war, there were more workers. There is such a teahouse in the huge Nanyang City, how can there not be many people?
Deng Kui didn't have time to take Cao Chong and the others back first, he didn't want to be asked this and that by these workers the next day. These workers were obviously familiar with Deng Kui for a long time, and as soon as they entered the teahouse, they began to pinch Deng Kui, and Deng Kui was not ambiguous, and took a lot of snacks and tea from the kitchen and put them up, regardless of how much money these people gave at that time.
The business of the teahouse was booming, and Deng Kui couldn't keep himself busy, so he asked Cao Chong to help him serve tea, but he didn't dare to get rid of the old eunuch with a strange temper. Cao Chong happily accepted, since he came out, then don't put the score of King Wei, it will do him no harm.
Cao Chong went into the back kitchen and picked up a big spoon, and was preparing a bowl of tea, but was snatched away by the old eunuch, and his attitude seemed to be tough but said softly: "King Wei's visit to Weifu this time is to find the Marquis of Xun, why did he come here to be a subordinate?" If it is spread out, will it not be a shame to the faΓ§ade? β
Cao Chong glanced at the busy Deng Kui, and saw that he didn't hear the voice here, so he said softly: "Ah Weng, since you came out, then you don't want King Wei to be long and King Wei short, Hugh is going to leak my identity." This Deng Kui treats the two of us preferentially, so don't be rude! Go ahead, bring the tea out, and don't open your mouth so that they can hear your court accent! β
The old eunuch was about to say something, but he couldn't squeeze out words for a while, so he could only sigh and walk out with a big bowl of tea, but he felt that the big bowl was heavy.
"Is it a faΓ§ade insult...... Isn't it disgraceful to go alone to find one's own courtiers? β
Cao Chong smiled bitterly, but instantly put away all his troubles, hummed a little song and poured tea, listened to the noisy words of those men outside the door, and went to such a small place to spend the rest of his life after abdication, no political strife, no intrigue, in the era of peace, ploughing the wasteland, wouldn't it be happy?
This is also Cao Chong's temporary thinking, but he is pinning more and more hopes on Xun Gang; In troubled times, there are intrigues and intrigues, and everyone wants to encroach on other people's territories; Only he just wants to return the world to peace, no matter whose territory you are, just fight down! On the contrary, this seemingly reckless move is more likely to unify the world.
As soon as the golden hour passed, the workers gradually left, leaving behind more or less money, but no matter how they were counted, Deng Kui always did not lose. The two put down their work and walked to the front desk to drink tea and chat with the workers.
Deng Kui was familiar with those workers, and soon chatted together, Cao Chong watched quietly on the side, but was teased by a man, pinched his little face and smiled: "There is such a white-faced boy in this green mud stall, Deng Kui, don't you wrap a rabbit!" β
In ancient times, the chicken referred to a female prostitute, and the rabbit referred to a male prostitute, although the man made a joke unintentionally, but this was a naked humiliation of Cao Chong! The old lady listened to him so hard that she was furious, and she was about to beat the man with her fists. The man quickly got up when he heard the sound, and was glaring at the old eunuch.
Cao Chong's rubbed face turned red, he didn't know what the rabbit meant, and hurriedly wanted to stop the old eunuch; But the old eunuch can tolerate Cao Chong as a person, but where can he hear this person humiliate Cao Chong so much? didn't listen to Cao Chong's advice at all, and walked towards the door with a punch.
After all, that man is a long-term worker, although he doesn't use martial arts, but it's not enough to handle an old eunuch? As soon as the old eunuch's fist reached the front door, he was pulled up by the man and teased: "What's the matter, are you also the rabbit he packed?" Deng Kui, you're not good, it's just that the white-faced boy is handsome, why can you eat this taste so heavy? β
Deng Kui hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, that's my guest, don't hurt him!" β
"I'm just kidding, how did I know that this person came to play with his life for no reason!"
The man obviously didn't want to have any entanglement with Deng Kui, after all, he had to take care of him a lot in the past, so he let the old eunuch go. The old eunuch was just about to fight harder, but was stopped by Cao Chong, who didn't say anything, just shook his head silently.
"Wei ......" Before the word King Wei was finished, Cao Chong's index finger was raised in front of his lips, and the old eunuch could only endure it silently. He didn't know why Cao Chong was willing to endure it, at least when the first king was there, this person must have split his head!
Although Cao Chong was familiar with the books of the sages, he knew who to use them. These reckless men don't talk about books, I'm afraid that they won't even be able to write their own names, and they are afraid that they only know the word loyalty and filial piety for the so-called etiquette, where do they understand that the joke just now is rude?
The meat people are so joking, even in the army, those people don't know Cao Chong's identity, and those who don't know are not guilty, can Cao Chong still be blamed? Cao Chong was a benevolent man, he didn't want to hurt his subordinates, and he didn't want to blame a stranger, even if Cao Cao came forward for him, he would reply the same way.
Those reckless men didn't know what they had just experienced, and continued to chat with Deng Kui, and Cao Chong also went over to see what they were talking about, but he was very disappointed, except for the boring things that the foreman was harsh or something, nothing was useful to him.
"Have you heard about Xun Gang's resurrection from the dead some time ago? Hehe, it's good that you said that he died, then the king of Wei in Xiangyang City can be a blessing, and now that he is alive, the unlucky king of Wei should be worried! β
When Cao Chong heard this, he breathed heavily.
"Who cares about him, which point of this huge industry in Jingzhou is handled by him? Fortunately, it was Xun Hou who did it, otherwise this Jingzhou would not be like this now, you and I can find so much work to do? β
"Do you think that King Wei will suddenly clean up Xun Gang's family like Emperor Han?"
"No, besides, the family members of the Marquis of Xun all went to Wancheng some time ago, this Xiangyang is an empty city, even if he wants to make trouble, who will he go to?"
The other person sighed: "I heard that since Cao **, the successor King of Wei is young, but I am afraid that he is also a fool found by Xun Hou and became a puppet!" If it's mine, when I unify the world, I'll kill that guy and set myself up as king! β
"Hehe, that's right!"
Deng Kui scolded: "You big bosses, where did you get these news, talking nonsense here!" Aren't you afraid that King Wei's minions will listen to you and take you down? β
Everyone laughed, and then passed the topic, but talked about how Xun Gang came back from the dead, some people said that it was borrowed from the corpse to resurrect the soul, some people said that it was to take someone else's life, and some people said that the life and death book of the underworld judge was drawn, in short, the more outrageous it was, the more it was said, the more god it was, and it was almost enshrined as a god.
The teahouse is filled with a cheerful atmosphere. (Actually, I want to write about Kong Yiji)
But Cao Chong was stunned in place, carefully savoring the words of those people just now.
Although they are rough people, their words are not coarse, Xun Gang must be in charge of power, so he made the youngest and closest himself the king of Wei, which Cao Chong has long understood. But if you ...... If Xun Gang really took the world, whether it was usurping the Han Dynasty and establishing himself or supporting the Han family, would he kill himself?
Cao Chong didn't have an answer in his heart, his teacher was no longer what he used to be, maybe his teacher was also afraid of himself, so he set himself up and alienated himself. Cao Chong, who had long understood Xun Gang's heart, was very uneasy, as if he would really kill himself.
Then go to ...... What's the point?
Cao Chong only felt dizzy and swollen, as if he couldn't understand this problem and he couldn't eat. The old eunuch on the side didn't see any discomfort in King Wei, and was still insulting the reckless man who molested King Wei just now.
"There is a tea house in the poor countryside, the sky is sunny for nine days, the white fog is dizzy, and there will be nobles staying there!"
But I don't know when, a bewitching person appeared outside the teahouse, with sharp eyes like a fox, a crisp nose, red lips like shame, a pure white face, and a slender demeanor, a man but like a woman, but as if he turned his face, he could show his frightening fangs.
"Shopkeeper, the weather is dry and dry, can you borrow some treasure land to ask for some tea to drink?"
