Chapter 62: Lao Cheng's admonition
When he saw Sun Simiao, Bai Qi with bruises on his face and Li Chengqian looked up embarrassedly, but Lu Zheng was laughing on the other side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A long Taoist robe was washed white, a pair of gray shoes, clean from top to bottom, in his fifties, and there were no traces of age on his ruddy face. His black hair was tied in a bun at the back, and beneath his eyebrows were a pair of compassionate eyes.
Sun Simiao smiled, didn't joke, gave Bai Qi a pulse, and then prescribed a prescription, under the eyes of Bai Qi and Li Chengqian, accompanied by Lu Zheng.
Without the excitement he imagined, White originally thought about what he would do after meeting Sun Simiao, but he didn't do anything. This meeting was really like a doctor coming to see a patient and prescribing medicine, plain, asking a few words about the condition, chatting about the current physical condition, and then there was no more.
"Do you think Sun Daochang's aura is so big?" Li Chengqian, who had been holding back without speaking, turned his head and asked Baiqi.
White nodded: "You can see that I don't dare to breathe when I speak!" ”
Li Chengqian left, and when he left, he said that he wanted revenge, and then he swept away the food made in the kitchen, pulled a cart of delicacies, hummed a cheerful little tune, and waved his hand and returned to Chang'an in the eyes of enjoying the worship of the Hou Mansion and ignoring the curses of white chess.
The sun rose and fell, and the sun went down and up, and the days passed in such an ordinary way.
The screams of the trees were no longer as powerful as they used to be, the water level in the river was slowly dropping, and the cool wind was blowing through the countryside and into the village with the news of the ripening of the crops.
The autumn harvest is a big day. If there was no scorching sun in the sky, White would have taken a fishing rod and ran into the river to fish. Unfortunately, there are many fewer fish in the river now, and you can no longer catch a big fish with a bait like before.
In the small field, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson led a group of palace maids and eunuchs, bent down to seriously pick up the ears of wheat that fell on the ground, and raised their hands from time to time to wipe the sweat on each other's foreheads.
"Hey, why are you looking at my father and mother with such contempt?" As a son, Li Chengqian dutifully noticed Baiqi's disrespect for his parents.
"You read it wrong, it's as a courtier's expression of admiration for their spirit of being the first in the world!" White's designation of Li Chengqian is absolutely not recognized.
At noon, while everyone else was resting, Bai Qi came to Cheng Yanjin and Yu Chi Jingde's side, took out two kettles and handed them to them, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wei Chi, it's hot, drink some water." ”
Wei Chi Jingde patted Bai Qi's shoulder with his hand while wiping the sweat on his body, and said happily: "Good boy, you have filial piety!" ”
Cheng Yanjin glanced at the white chess, raised his head and took a sip, a cold feeling immediately went from his throat to the bottom of his heart, and he glanced at the white chess in surprise.
"It's an ice-cold wine that the kid makes at home out of boredom, and it's just right for this kind of weather to drink."
"It's rumored that your family can cast spells to make ice?" Yu Chi Jingde took a refreshing sip of wine, leaned over and asked curiously.
Bai Qi said helplessly: "Uncle, what kind of spell is this, it's just using saltpeter to put it in the water!" Not long after I found out, I didn't know who was spreading rumors, so that people really thought I was the reincarnation of a demon star! ”
Cheng Yanjin drank the cold wine, let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Bai Qi: "First go and help Niang Niang make an ice cellar like your family, and then teach your uncles to make this thing." Good thing, you can't have it exclusively, or someone will be red-eyed, boy! ”
White nodded his head in instruction. In fact, he didn't plan to make money from this, but when he saw that the weather was hot, and his ancestors were old again, he couldn't stand the heat, so he remembered that he had seen the clay method of making ice before, and after he tried it feasible, he made an ice cellar in the house on a whim, which was usually used to store those perishable things, or to make a simple popsicle or ice cream or something, purely to improve the day.
"Boy, I can see that you have a grudge right now. However, since His Majesty's side has already decided on the handling of Chu Suiliang and Yu Wenshiji, there will be no changes. During this time, you can't go anywhere, don't say anything you shouldn't say. Cheng Yanjin put down the kettle in his hand, looked at the white chess and said seriously.
Yu Wenshi and eventually died, and his family was relegated to the south. Chu Suiliang was also deprived of his official position in Chang'an, relegated to Guangzhou as an official, and was not allowed to return to Chang'an for the rest of his life.
Bai Qi sat down and said: "Chu Xiang and the kid just have different political opinions, and Yu Wenshi and the kid have also received the punishment they deserve, and the kid doesn't want to delve into this." ”
"If only you knew that. This matter involves some people and things in the past, and the water behind it is very deep, either you can drown, or the old man I didn't dare to investigate after sealing the underground passage of the rat gang. The old man was afraid that you kid would do stupid things, but now it seems that you have reassured us! After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he looked into the distance attentively.
"Uncle Cheng, the kid is actually very afraid of death." White said with a smile.
"It's better to be afraid of death! In this world, those who are not afraid of death have long since died! Shan Xiongxin, Dou Jiande, and Wang Shichong were not heroes who blocked ten with one block, and in the end they died early. If the old man was not afraid of death, how could he kill people like a madman on the battlefield? Cheng Yanjin patted Bai Qi's shoulder and said with emotion: "Now Your Majesty is eloquent, the Tang Dynasty is thriving, and the four seas are coming, but as a courtier, you still have to learn to bury your head in the ground like the ostrich you said, this is the way to survive." ”
White chess pouted, reminiscing about Cheng Biting Jin's words. Watching him drink the wine in the kettle boldly, step into the field again, bend down to pick up ears of wheat, like an old farmer, and brag with the old man in the field next door, the nameless fire in his heart slowly extinguished after waking up.
"Boy, have you figured it out?" Li Shimin condescendingly looked at the white chess with contempt in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I figured it out." Bai Qi immediately stood up, lowered his head and said: "In the future, I will be a happy little marquis, just go shopping and eat every day!" ”
Li Shimin slapped Bai Qi's head angrily, and scolded with hatred: "What kind of old-fashioned Hengqiu and disarming and returning to the field at a young age are so angry!" Give me your chilled grapes, or you'll be punished for disrespect!" ”
Bai Qi muttered in his heart, and still honestly handed the kettle full of wine to Li Shimin. Li Shimin took it and shook it, nodded when he heard the sound inside, looked at the white chess and snorted coldly, and left with his hands behind his back.
Don't you just want me to continue to work hard for Datang? Bai Qi despised Li Shimin, who was walking away, and his hands and feet were suddenly grabbed, and the whole person was lifted up.
"Ready, brothers? One, two, three! The eldest grandson shouted at the beasts in Chang'an with an excited face, and when the word "three" fell, he threw the white chess pieces into the wheat field that had been cleaned up.
"Ahh I'm not done with you! White shouted angrily, "plopped", and the whole person fell into the mud.
