Cheng Yanjin saw that Qin Qiong was a little confused, so he told the filth of what he and the county lieutenant Qian had only seen and what he wanted to harm himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as Qin Qiong frowned and was about to speak, she saw someone running in and said, "My lord, someone is from the county, and Cheng Taigong asked you to come to his house." ”

Cheng Yanjin sneered: "It's very fast, go, I'll meet him!" Saying that, he took the lead and walked out, and Qin Qiong followed suit.

came to Mrs. Cheng's house, and the old lady spoke with the two servants fairly; saw Cheng Biting Jin coming in; Cheng Taigong hurriedly said: "The two errands, this is Cheng Zhuangshi." ”

The two looked at him with their mouths wide and asked, "Are you Cheng Biting Jin?" ”

Lao Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, it's Cheng!" The two nodded and asked, "What about another one named Kan Ling?" Why didn't he come? ”

"That Kan Xiangzuo is a busy man, he went to the old mountain pass yesterday, it is said that it is not very peaceful there, and there are often bandits."

The two messengers were stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay! It's the same with you! The imperial court was using troops against Goguryeo; The whole world is not the king's ministers, and you should also contribute some of your strength! Now the court has called you into servitude; You must arrive in Zhuozhou before February 15! ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "This errand officer, today is February 13th?" How did we get to Zhuozhou on February 15th? ”

The two pouted and said, "Then I don't care, this is an order from above, and if you can't reach it within the time limit, you will be blamed for your whole family!" ”

Cheng Taigong hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, this time is too urgent, please delay it for a few days." As he spoke, he took out a box of silver and sent it over.

"Smack!" Cheng Yanjin stretched out his hand to stop Cheng Taigong's movements, then closed the box, and pushed the box to Cheng Taigong under the greedy gaze of the two messengers.

"What do you mean by that?" The two messengers went from great joy to great anger.

Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "I'm sorry for letting the two of you run away in vain; We can't do this servitude anymore; Just now, Kan Ling and I have received a call from General Hu'er from Daxingtai in Shandong to lead his men and horses to fight Goryeo. ”

"What?" The two were shocked and asked angrily: "You don't want to talk nonsense, do you really think you are a character?" Shandong Daxingtai will recruit you? ”

Cheng Yanjin shrugged his shoulders and said: "Come, let me introduce you to this Chinese officer under the command of Shandong Daxingtai, General Qin Qiong, he just brought us the conscription order of the general; If you don't believe him, you can ask him! ”

Qin Qiong took two steps forward and took out his letter card and said: "A certain Qin Qiong, who received the general's general order, recruited Cheng Yanjin, Kan Ling and their subordinates to go out with the army. They have been exempted from servitude. ”

The two bad people have a big mouth, and they don't know what to do? I boasted about Haikou from the county lieutenant, and I thought that if the matter was not completed, how could I explain it when I went back?

Lao Cheng laughed and said, "Okay, the two of you, please hurry back and reply to the county lieutenant!" We will not keep it; By the way, tell the county lieutenant that we very much welcome Mr. Qian Yong to guide the work. Bandits are rampant here, and we very much need to be guided by a master like Qian Yonggongzi. ”

When the two officers heard this, they sighed and walked away. Cheng Taigong hurriedly said to Cheng Yanjin: "Boss, do you really want to go to Goguryeo?" ”

Lao Cheng nodded and said, "It seems that I am going to go; I've already asked Lao Du and Kan Ling to invite them, let's take a good look at them in a while. Second brother, our sudden addition has no effect on you! ”

Qin Qiong laughed and said, "What am I asking for?" After completing the errand of giving gifts to Yang Su, General Lai had already made me a captain from the seventh grade; I could have taken twenty-five followers with me, and you want to go! ”

Lao Cheng laughed and said: "It seems that it is the will of heaven, we will go to Goguryeo this time!" ”

Just as he was talking about the chaos outside, Kan Ling and the others broke in with a bang, and Liang Shitai shouted: "Big brother, what's the matter?" Is it that grandson surnamed Qian who is making trouble again, I will kill him with a hammer! ”

Cheng Yanjin glared at him and said, "What are you yelling about?" What can a little county lieutenant do to me? Let's go to the Taigong Housing, let's discuss what to do? ”

"Yes!" Everyone agreed, and followed Cheng Taigong into the living room. The guests and hosts sat down, and Cheng Taigong said: "It just so happened that everyone came here, and I have some new tribute tea leaves from Jiangnan in the Spring Festival this year, which have been ground up; I usually don't want to drink it, but today I would like you to try it! ”

Du Ruyan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! It's a good thing, and we need to give it a try. ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the tea leaves were not yet cooked, Cheng Yanjin told everyone what had happened just now; Then he said: "On this trip to Goguryeo, Kan Ling and I must go, and this time Master Yan will stay behind; Master Yan has the final say in the affairs of the army, and the affairs of civil affairs are all up to Lao Du! ”

"Yes!" The two hurriedly agreed; Liang Shitai shouted: "Big brother, you must take me this time!" ”

Lao Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "This time, Luo Shixin will go with me!" The trapped camp has just formed an army, and I don't worry about you, the main general, leaving. You don't have to be discouraged, the chaos in the world is just around the corner, and when I come back, it will be the time for you to show your skills in the camp! ”

Liang Shitai was overjoyed and said: "Okay, big brother can't deceive me Lao Liang!" ”

Lao Cheng nodded when he heard this, and said to Qin Qiong: "Second brother, tomorrow we will invite the two old people to live in Liangshan for a few days, where is my base, the iron is general; Let him have thousands of troops and horses, and don't want to go in. ”

Qin Qiong nodded and said, "It's okay, just listen to my brother's orders!" Cheng Yanjin said to Sheng Yanshi: "Master Yan, someone has taken a fancy to the position of Xiangyong in Turtledove Shop, and people are here to arrest you thieves; You have to say something, too! Since you are a bandit, you have to look like a bandit, but you can't be too cowardly! ”

Sheng Yanshi smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, don't worry, Yanshi knows how to do it!" Lao Cheng smiled and stopped talking.

As he was talking, the maid of Mrs. Cheng's family came up with a few porcelain cups, and each of them divided one. Cheng Taigong and Du Ruhui picked up the teacup, put it under their noses and asked, and then took a sip gently, looking intoxicated.

Cheng Yanjin stared at the cup of foamy green whirring liquid with wide eyes, and didn't dare to drink it.

Cheng Taigong said: "Boss, please!" How about a taste of our craft? I configured it myself, and others couldn't learn it. ”

Cheng Biting Jin took a bite and gave a pertinent evaluation: "It tastes weird, but it's okay; It would be nice to beat the egg drop again! ”

"Huh?" Cheng Taigong's eyes widened in surprise, drinking tea and putting egg flowers aside? Isn't that an egg soup?

Lao Cheng scolded: "Aren't you just egg soup?" What's the mess inside? There's tangerine peel! There's table salt! Why do you choke your nose so much, is there still mustard! ”

Cheng Taigong said aggrievedly: "Boss, aren't all tea leaves boiled like this?" ”

Cheng Yanjin suddenly remembered that tea was not brewed until the Yuan Dynasty in ancient China, and tea was brewed like this during the Tang and Song dynasties; The whole process is strictly regulated, and different condiments are added according to each person's taste; It is called the tea ceremony. The tea ceremony that people talk about now is all vassal elegance, and it is no longer the tea ceremony that the ancients talked about. ”

He rolled his eyes and said, "What a waste of things, are there any tea leaves that have not been crushed?" ”

Cheng Taigong nodded and said, "There's a little more." Cheng Yanjin said: "Let your chef stir-fry tea with me in the afternoon!" ”

Cheng Taigong's eyes widened and said, "Chef? Stir-fried tea? Can tea be fried and eaten? Lao Cheng sighed and said, "I don't have to experiment!" The chef always controls the heat more than I do. You don't care, you'll know. ”

Seeing that the sun was advancing in the middle of the sky, Lao Cheng instructed Cheng Taigong a few more words; hurriedly took Qin Qiong back to the house and had lunch with everyone. During this period, Mo Shi watched his son have a lot of worries, so he kept asking Lao Cheng what happened? Lao Cheng smiled and said that there was nothing wrong.

In the afternoon, everyone went to Mrs. Cheng's house to watch Cheng bite the gold fried tea; Lao Cheng ordered a large iron pot to be put up, but when he saw that Cheng Taigong only took out a small bag of tea. He looked at the pot, looked at the tea, and exclaimed, "That's all?" Cheng Taigong nodded silently.
