Chapter 45: Jade Dragon Xuan
When I left the Flying Snow Pavilion Orchid Pavilion, it was already late at night.
Tang An said goodbye to Feng Zhilan, took Cheng Caihe, who was drunk like a dead pig, and rushed back to Cheng Mansion. If you let Old Man Cheng know that this son who doesn't learn and has no skills doesn't study well but goes to the land of fireworks to have fun, he will definitely not have good fruit to eat.
"Autumn leaves... Gu Liang, what's it! Come, Young Master Ben... Teach you to play a... It's called 'Bang Bang Bang', vomit! ”
The carriage was bumpy, and the fat man couldn't stop retching in a daze, and kept muttering in his mouth.
Fuck, this fat guy has a lot of alcohol and even worse wine, and after only a few drinks, he spit out all the lascivious thoughts in his belly, and he doesn't have any city government at all - even if you want to snap, don't rush at Lao Tzu!
Avoiding several bear hugs of the fat man along the way, he finally rushed back to the house. coincided with the night patrol of the two subordinates, and Tang An unceremoniously gave the opportunity to "please the young master" to the two.
"Hey, Xia Yu Gu Liang... It's coming, too! Together... Pap, kiss one first! When the fat man saw that there was one more person beside him, he pouted the pig's mouth left and right, "Let's chirp", and Tang An, who saw it, was cold.
In the future, you can't drink with the fat man, otherwise the chrysanthemum will be difficult to protect. I was about to go back to the house to rest, but I heard the back door squeak and be pushed open again.
Tang An thought that Cheng Yunhe was back, but he was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind a tree. glanced at it secretly, but saw that the person who came was not Cheng Yunhe, but the female bandit Cheng Caixi.
This little girl, why did she come back later than me?
Cheng Caixi's face was full of exhaustion, he was still holding the sword that never left his body, the sideburns on his head were a little scattered, and even his footsteps were limping, looking like he was a little injured.
Tang An's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of Cheng Caixi's tall and falling posture, no matter how you look at it, he can be regarded as a master. Can the master get hurt too? It seems that this is really not a job that ordinary people do.
But Tang An thought about it, this chick was tired all day, and dragging her tired body back home was the time when her mind was most relaxed. If you go to ask for money now, won't you have a better chance of success?
Just about to appear, Tang An paused again. Since female bandits go out to handle cases, most of them will not carry so much silver. It's better to wait for her to pretend to meet by chance when she returns to the room, and by the way, she will greet her with a few words of concern, and play a hand of family card.
What a genius!
Having made up his mind, Tang An tiptoed and secretly followed without a trace.
What made Tang An strange was that she did not go back to her house, but went around to a strange courtyard that Tang An had never been to. The room was pitch black, as if it were an empty room.
Just as he was hesitating to speak, Cheng Caixi had already pushed the door in, and after a while, the fire in the house lit up.
Tang An secretly hated himself for not being angry, didn't he just want silver taels, what was there to say? Tang An plucked up his courage and prepared to go up and knock on the door.
"Mother..."
Tang An's hand was halfway out, and he suddenly heard Cheng Caixi's voice, and he couldn't help but tremble with fright.
Mother? Dare to love this is Cheng Yunhe's wife's farewell? Fortunately, Lao Tzu is fast, otherwise it would be a big disrespect to disturb the rest of the lady. But I've been here for a few days, why haven't I heard about Cheng Yunhe's wife?
This Mrs. Cheng is really as mysterious as me.
Tang An leaned on the door, pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, but there was no response, and he couldn't help but be very strange. The daughter was wronged, and the mother should be comforted, but the old lady was calm and didn't speak. After a while, Cheng Caixi's "woo" cry came.
Do female bandits cry? Tang An couldn't hold back any longer, poked a small hole in the paper window with saliva, and looked inside, only to see Cheng Caixi with his back to the window, his shoulders twitching slightly. But there was no one in the house but her, and how could there be any lady?
Looking closely, Cheng Caixi was holding a tablet in her arms, and cried infinitely aggrieved: "Mother, do you know that my daughter is really tired..."
Tang An's heart seemed to be suddenly blocked by something, and he was unspeakably uncomfortable.
It turned out that Cheng Caihe and Cheng Caixi's mother had passed away. Cheng Caixi was wronged, but she didn't even have a person to vent to, so she could only come to her mother's house before her death and cry to the spirit card alone.
I can't imagine that this woman with a strong appearance has such a pitiful background. Tang An sighed in his heart and retreated silently.
***********
Early the next morning, the eternally tireless carriage pulled Cheng Caihe and Tang An to Moyu Academy on time.
Maybe it was because he made a lot of gains yesterday, and the two great gods of Feng Zhilan and Liu Qinge were connected, Tang An slept very sweetly, and he felt full of spirit and no sleepiness when he got up early in the morning.
Cheng Caihe was different, his eyelids were swollen, his eyes were blank, and he yawned vigorously.
Shaking his head, which was still a little dizzy, the fat man asked, "Tang An, I didn't talk nonsense after I got drunk yesterday, right?" ”
I don't know which stupid sperm got into his brain, and he just touched the breasts of the two family members. But of course I can't say this, Tang An said: "The young master is drunk and has a lot of poetry, and he has witty words, which makes the sisters laugh and laugh constantly, blushing and heartbeating, if I hadn't stepped forward and dragged the young master away, I'm afraid that the young ladies would have to leave the young master there for the night." ”
"Really?" Cheng Caihe will be skeptical.
Thinking that this fat man had lost his mother at a young age, Tang An felt sympathy in his heart, and couldn't bear to hit his self-confidence, and said, "Of course it's true." ”
Cheng Cai and Daxi pretended to take it for granted, and said: "Alas, I accidentally showed the talent of this young master again, and I was guilty of sin." ”
This dead fat man, if you give some color, you are going to open a dye shop.
Cheng Caihe thought for a while and asked, "By the way, did everyone Liu choose the guest of honor yesterday?" ”
Tang An knew that this matter would inevitably spread to the streets, and sooner or later he would not be able to hide it from him, and said: "Young master, thanks to everyone Liu, Tang An is fortunate to meet her." ”
"Tang An, this... I know you've been too tired these days, but it's easy to damage your mind if you're always delusional, so it's better to give you a day off tomorrow. Cheng Caihe patted Tang An on the shoulder earnestly, thinking about how to phrase it so as not to hit his number one favorite general.
Tang An was stunned in his heart and said, "Young master, what I said is true. ”
Cheng Caihe looked guilty and said, "I didn't expect the condition to be so serious." No, you have to go to a doctor. ”
Tang An sighed, knowing that the fat man still didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "The young master is really wise." Actually, Tang An was just joking. ”
Cheng Caihe put on a face of "That's right" and said: "Liu is a fairy-like character, mortals can't sleep if they look at it twice." But even if you can't talk to the Yanagi family, and have a glass of wine with the autumn leaf girl, one of the four golden flowers, it will be a big face. This is the charm, Tang An, you have to learn more. ”
Stinky and shameless! Tang An scolded secretly in his heart, and said on the surface: "The young master is suave and suave, and there is a furrow in his chest, even if Tang An learns for another five hundred years, I am afraid he can only learn a little fur." ”
This kid will always be on the way. Cheng Caihe laughed a few times, suddenly listened with his ears sideways, and said, "Hey, whose house is setting off firecrackers early in the morning?" ”
After he said it, Tang An also heard the crackling sound outside, opened the curtain and looked out, only to see not far away, a rather imposing two-story small building came into view, there were six hanging blessing whips in the open space in front of the door, the letter fire flashed, and the big red firecrackers burst one by one. Although it was only early in the morning, there was already a group of people in front of the door, so it was not lively.
On the door plaque of the small building, three big characters are written "Yulongxuan". Outside the door, there are piles of bags of rice grain, each with the word "li" pasted on big red paper, which seems to be the benefit prepared for the guests of the newly opened new store.
Tang An said with a smile: "I don't know which brand this is opening, making it so lively." ”
Cheng Caihe's face sank, and he said stiffly: "It's the 'Jade Dragon Xuan' semicolon opened by Wei Yulong." ”
"Wei Yulong?" Tang An muttered, turned his head to look, but saw Cheng Caihe's face gloomy and terrifying, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Young Master, you don't like this person?" ”
"Not only don't you like it, it's simply a mortal enemy who doesn't share the sky." Cheng Caihe gritted his teeth and said, "This Wei Yulong can also be regarded as a character, he has all the skills in the capital, and he has all the underworld and white business under his hands, and he is also famous in the rivers and lakes." But this bastard is treacherous, and often uses some indiscriminate means to rob my Cheng family's business, and his reputation is very stinky, and he is my number one enemy in Genting Tower. ”
turned out to be a competitor in business, no wonder Cheng Caihe hated him so much. Tang An nodded and said, "Then who is more powerful between this Jade Dragon Xuan and our Cheng family?" ”
"In terms of financial resources, of course they are inferior to us. However, Wei Yulong is quite well-connected, and he has a relationship with the underworld in the imperial court, and his business is getting bigger and bigger, and now he is faintly on a par with my Cheng family. Cheng Cai said.
I can't see that this guy named Wei Yulong is quite capable of tossing. However, in the business field, it was not his turn to worry about the little scholar, and he instantly threw the fat man's words out of his mind.
When the carriage slowly drove by, two men in gorgeous clothes and somewhat similar appearances stood in front of the gate of Yulong Xuan.
The young man looked at the carriage that was moving away and said, "Dad, it's Cheng Caihe's carriage." ”
The middle-aged man with gray hair next to him had a pair of triangular eyes flashing with disdain, obviously it was Wei Yulong. And the young man next to him is his only son, named Wei Jianling.
Wei Yulong said: "What kind of climate can a straw bale become?" Ling'er, you learn to do business with your father, and in the future, the business route of the Tang Dynasty will be the world of my father and son. ”
The young man said, "The boy knows." ”
Wei Yulong smiled incomprehensibly and said, "If you can take over the Cheng family without blood, why use some stupid methods." A few days ago, my father asked you to prepare a dowry, how are you preparing? ”
The young man's eyes lit up and he said, "The child is ready!" ”
"You should be more restrained, don't just go to some fireworks places to look for flowers and ask willows, think about how to carry forward my Wei family is the right way." The middle-aged man nodded with a smile and said, "After some time, pick a good day and go to Cheng's house to propose!" If you can be the son-in-law of the Cheng family, won't the Cheng family's wealth be yours in the future? ”
