Chapter 277: You Can't Do It
Tang An glanced at Cheng Caixi, and his eyes suddenly lit up. I am so stupid to let such a rich lady not knock on the bamboo!
"Miss, do we have any fire grass in our Cheng Mansion?" Tang An asked.
Cheng Caixi "snorted" and said, "This thing... It has such an effect, and my father has no wife and concubine, what do you want it to do! β
Tang An's face was full of regret, and he greatly despised Cheng Yunhe in his heart. is also the richest man in the capital, and he doesn't even have broken herbs. This old guy has been single for so many years and hasn't wanted to find a house, is there a problem in that regard?
Cheng Caixi's face was suspicious, and said: "Tang An, you have been at Cheng's house for so long, I have never seen you look bad, and you are in good spirits every day." Could it be... You weren't poisoned at all? β
Depend on! When did this woman become so smart? Tang An hurriedly put on a painful face, covered his chest and said, "Oops! Say what you say, come out of what. Miss, the poison has flare up again, oh I'm so uncomfortable and painful! β
Cheng Caixi clasped his hands around his chest, sneered at his clumsy performance, and said, "Don't act, I can see that you are not poisoned at all!" β
Damn, you can't admit it even if you beat me to death! Tang An ignored her at all, still moaning on the ground.
"Since you haven't been poisoned, what's the use of you asking for Jinyang ginseng and fire grass?" Cheng Caixi frowned and muttered. If it comes to money, Tang An is not short at all, and there is no need to exchange the elixir for silver; If you talk about status, Tang An is a foreign official, and the emperor is very important. If he doesn't seek wealth, officials, or fame, what does he want medicine for?
Could it be...
Cheng Caixi showed a rejuvenation, paused and said softly to Tang An, who was rolling on his own: "Tang An, are you... Isn't that okay? β
Ga?
Tang An, who was still trying his best to perform, instantly froze on the ground, and was scorched by the eldest lady's words.
As a man, it doesn't matter if others say you're good-for-nothing, mean, or idle, but it's never okay to be told "no". This is no longer just sarcasm, but a naked insult.
Tang An jumped up with a carp, and said like thunder: "I am known as the 'small steel cannon in the ten thousand flowers', seven times in one night, you actually say that I can't do it?" β
Tang An's eagerness to prove his innocence became a sign of weakness in the eyes of the eldest lady. Usually only people who are poked in the sore spot in the center will cover it up so violently.
The eldest lady looked sympathetic: It turned out that Tang An was suffering from such an unspeakable "hidden disease", alas, it was so pitiful.
"I didn't think you were young, but already..."The eldest lady sighed, "It doesn't matter, no matter what illness you have, our Cheng family will never abandon you." β
"I'm fine, no problem at all!" Tang An said angrily, "Do you need me to take off my pants to prove it to you?" β
"Tang An, you are still young, the current doctors are very skillful, I know a few famous doctors, and they will be able to cure your illness if they are rejuvenated, don't be too depressed." The eldest lady ignored Tang An's provocation and patted him on the shoulder, trying to make the wording as subtle as possible, so as not to touch Tang An's fragile heart.
"You're sick! I'm for..."Tang An rushed to the top of his head with an evil fire, and almost told Mu Rong's secret, but fortunately, he stopped at the precipice in the end.
"For what?" Cheng Caixi asked with a wink.
The truth can't be told, but if you don't tell it, you'll be misunderstood, what the is it called! Tang An only felt that there was no one more bitter than himself in the world, and after thinking about it, he never dared to confide in the facts, so he could only carry the black pot for the fairy.
"Well, forget it, let me be sick." Tang An said gloomily.
"If you are sick, you have to be cured!"
The eldest lady slapped her thigh and said, "Do you have time tomorrow?" I'll take you to the doctor. β
Look at your sister!
Tang An is really dumb and eats yellow lotus, and he can't say anything about his suffering. He smiled bitterly and said, "You don't need to see the doctor, you still have to find a way to help me get the fire grass." By the way, how do you understand this, Miss? I remember you thought you were going to get pregnant if you hugged you. β
The eldest lady blushed and said, "I asked Zhang's mother, who cooks, and she told me this." β
Cheng Caixi said, glancing at Tang An with a little weakness. Secretly buy the Spring Palace Diagram behind your back and concentrate on researching, it's better not to tell this villain.
"Mama Zhang is really knowledgeable and talented!"
+ The eldest lady who can train a blank piece of paper to understand whether a man can do it or not, Tang An sincerely admired.
The eldest lady obviously didn't want to stay on this topic longer, and said, "Anyway, don't worry too much, I will definitely find a way to cure you." β
"Then I'll thank you in advance." Tang An said, his face unable to hide a wave of disappointment.
I found the clue of the fire weed, and it seems that I have gained a lot, but in fact, there is no progress at all, and only one sentence is left circling in my mind over and over again...
Do more for the use of gifts from dignitaries.
Suddenly, Tang An suddenly remembered something, and said, "Huh... Dongfang Xiangguo said a few days ago that he would have a big birthday next month and invited me to go. He has such a high status, there must be one in the family, right? β
Hearing this name, Cheng Caixi's face sank.
What does the four words of Oriental Travel, a rookie like Tang An may not understand, but Cheng Caixi, who has been in Feitianmen for many years, is like thunder. He is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he is the first person under the real imperial power. Not to mention the amazing power of his own power, just his protΓ©gΓ©s and disciples over the years, there is no shortage of people with great backgrounds.
Among these people, there are feudal officials, and there are even pillars of the court, not only them, but also some of the descendants of civil officials have become military generals, and some of the descendants of their disciples have been crowned princes. And behind them is even more involved in the Shi Clan Group, even if these people are in a high status, they are also proud of claiming to be from the country.
Someone once boringly counted how many people in Datang came from the Xiangguo party, and the results were so many that I couldn't count them. Therefore, later generations used "the Chinese Wu Banshu out of the door" to describe the power of the Oriental Journey.
Therefore, although Tang An has been proud of the spring breeze recently, in the eyes of Dongfang Yuanxing, he is no different from an ant. In this case, what does Tang An have that he is worthy of wooing?
"Tang An, this birthday banquet... You'd better not go. β
Cheng Caixi frowned and said.
Tang Anqi said: "Why? β
Cheng Caixi said: "Things in the court are very complicated. You are an upstart in the court, and you are highly valued by the emperor. Dongfang Xiangguo invited you, I'm afraid there is no intention to win you over. If you agree, the emperor will definitely not be happy, and if you don't, you will offend Dongfang Xiangguo. This kind of flattering thing is still not good. β
That old guy looked like a fox who had become a fine fox, and he was in a high position, and he gave birth to a son and didn't deal with me, you want to go when you are a son! But if I can't find the fire grass, my life will be lost, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will give it a try!
He couldn't tell Cheng Caiximing about these hardships, so he could only say: "But people have already sent me an invitation, wouldn't it be rude if I didn't go?" β
The eldest lady secretly wondered when you had been polite. "Is life more important or is politeness more important?" Tang An, the imperial court doesn't have to go anywhere else, forming gangs and factions, and the danger during this period is not something you can imagine. It's a good thing that you can be valued by the emperor, but your foundation is too shallow, and there are no nobles in the court to help you, so it's easy to be taken advantage of. So before you make any decisions, I want you to think it through. β
Cheng Caixi has been in Feitianmen for a long time, and has seen countless examples of infinite scenery in the past but ultimately failed to die well, these are all victims of the struggle of interests of the imperial court, and she doesn't want Tang An to follow in the footsteps of these people.
Tang An knew that Cheng Caixi was for his good, but there were some things that he had to do. said: "Miss, I have thought about it very clearly. If I don't go, it will inevitably give people the impression of being pampered and proud, which is also not what the emperor wants to see. No matter what happens when you go, in short, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth. β
"You idiot, why can't you tell the difference between good and bad? I've said all this, am I doing it for myself? Cheng Caixi said indignantly. This idiot, I'm afraid you'll lose your life in vain!
"I know all of them, but I also have my thoughts and grievances, I hope you can understand." Tang An smiled, "I will say at most that Shoubi Nanshan will leave." β
The devil believes in you! The eldest lady said secretly in her heart, lowered her head and pondered for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she smiled, and said, "If you must go, it's not impossible, but you have to promise me one thing." β
"What's the matter?" Tang An asked.
"I must buy the birthday gift for Dongfang Xiangguo." Cheng Caixi said, "If you don't agree, then I won't let you go anyway." β
Buy me a birthday gift? This is a good thing, and it saves Lao Tzu a piece of silver. Tang An was proud, but pretended to twist and said: "How embarrassing is this, let the eldest lady break the bill again... What are you going to buy? β
"You don't have to ask about this, I have my own plans." The eldest lady smiled confidently and said, "When the time comes, you will naturally know." β
I found out the news of the fire grass, and finally settled a matter on my mind. Tang An was in a good mood, and in the evening, he paid out of his own pocket to invite the Feitianmen princes led by Xu Xian to have a drink. However, the eldest lady had to go with her, with this woman by her side, a group of old men talked and looked ahead, and the meal was not interesting, and the banquet was dispersed in a hurry.
Dongfang Xiangguo's birthday banquet is scheduled for the sixth day of the next month, and there are still more than ten days to go. Since the eldest lady said that she was going to prepare a birthday gift, Tang An was also happy to be idle. How to say that she is also the daughter of the richest man in the capital, with extraordinary vision, and she will not give any shabby gifts in the future.
In the past few days, Tang An has free time to go to Genting Shopping Mall during the day, or take the fairy to visit the capital, and have a good time.
On this day, the scorching sun hung in the sky.
Tang Angang and Mu Rong had eaten hairy crabs, and they patted their stomachs proudly and wanted to sleep for a while, but they saw Laifu holding an invitation and giving it to him. When I opened it, it was actually written by Liu Tingge to himself.
