Chapter Forty-Seven: The Farmer at Ease
Out of the shop, Xie Yi immediately went to the Cheng family's mansion near Tianjin Bridge.
There are many ministers in the court, and the nobles of the family have purchased real estate in Luoyang, and Cheng Zhijie is naturally no exception.
When he left the palace, Xie Yi had already inquired clearly, Lao Cheng had been guarding in front of Luoyang Palace for three consecutive nights, and he was at home today.
And several other important ministers are busy, so they can visit Cheng Zhijie openly and openly, and they will not be guilty of favoring one over the other.
It's not that I don't want to go, it's that you're busy and not at home, so it's no wonder I'm wrong, right?
Behind him, Lu Tong took a few men, carrying twenty porcelain vases with exquisite textures, containing Qionghua wine, and with exquisite gift boxes, to give gifts to Lu Guogong.
A few plain clothes Praetorian Guards were still following him, and the young Xie Yi was walking on the street, and others thought that it was a wealthy son who went out to buy with a wealthy slave, and it felt like the kind of way of spending a lot of money.
The eyes of onlookers may be admiration, envy, or viciousness.
Zheng Bin stood on a restaurant, watching Xie Yi swagger past through the bamboo curtain, his face suddenly blue and white, full of anger.
Lianghuai's wine business has failed, and he originally planned to take advantage of Hou Junji's departure, Helan Chushi to leave, and Xie Yi to use some means when he has no reliance.
Who would have thought that the son of a ruined family would ascend to the sky in one step, suddenly enter the palace and become the son of heaven, and be crowned with a knighthood, and there is a hint of the favor of the son of heaven.
Why is this happening?
He is obviously a loser who does not learn and has no skills, and is cowardly, how can he suddenly surpass himself?
Gambling, business, talent, and even luck completely crush yourself, this feeling...... Zheng Bin only felt that his throat was tight, as if he couldn't even breathe.
It was Hou Junji, or even the prince's recommendation, otherwise how could he, a child of a poor family, ascend to the sky in one step.
Helan Chushi is not righteous, Hou Junji, and even the crown prince...... It is also a dog that looks down on people. He is a dignified son of the Zheng family in Xingyang, where is he worse than a loser?
But they have no eyes...... The result is so unfair.
Xie Yi talked eloquently in front of the courtiers of the Son of Heaven, and his honor was inexhaustible, while he was reprimanded by his father, and now he has to go back to his hometown in Xingyang to confess his crimes.
As long as he thought about it, Zheng Bin held his anger in his heart, and just watched Xie Yi walk downstairs, he really wanted to send someone to follow, in the back alley......
But no!
The loyal old servant reminded in time: "Childe, he is already a county man, and the emperor has taken a fancy to him...... Xingyang's hometown has an order, this matter is stopped, and you must not be rash and make extraneous branches. ”
"Don't worry, I know it!" Zheng Bin clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth to squeeze out a few words, full of hatred. I can't do anything right now, but I'm not in a hurry......
……
Xie Yi didn't notice the cold gaze behind him, but walked leisurely to the Cheng family's mansion.
When the porter heard that it was a man from Huaiyang County, he immediately went in to report it.
Although he is only a small county man, the Cheng family is well-informed and knows that this Xie Shenyi's identity is extraordinary, so he does not dare to slack off at all.
When he was welcomed into the mansion by the housekeeper, Cheng Zhijie was sitting in the hall, and it was not rude that he didn't have to go out to greet Xie Yi as he was.
There was a wine bowl on the table in front of him, and when he saw Xie Yi, especially the gift box porcelain bottle behind him, he immediately laughed and said, "Xie Yi, come to give wine to the old man?" ”
Xie Yi smiled: "Yes, Lu Guogong, the junior promised to send you the wine as soon as it arrives, how can you miss the appointment?" ”
"Good, very good!" Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "I'll tell you, after drinking your family's Qionghua brew, this wine is not a taste, and a bird can fade out of the mouth...... The old man is worried, so you came, very timely, you know my heart very well! ”
"Lu Guogong, there are twenty bottles in total, you drink it first, and then I will send you ...... when it is gone."
Cheng Zhijie smiled and waved his hand: "You kid has a heart, but after drinking these twenty bottles, I should pay for it myself." It's okay to let you send it once, but it's not appropriate for you to send it, after all, this wine is worth several dollars when it's in demand, and although Lao Cheng is thick-skinned, he can't always blackmail the little doll, right? ”
It's like two people on that day, I don't see that the Demon King of the Mixed World is still a very righteous and kind person! Of course, maybe he had other things to think about.
Without waiting for Xie Yi to speak, Cheng Zhijie said, "Hurry up...... Hurry up and get a bottle, let the old man enjoy it first. ”
Lu Tong hurriedly took out a bottle, handed it to the housekeeper of Cheng Mansion, and sent it to Cheng Zhijie. Lao Cheng was not polite, he immediately took a mouthful of stuffiness, without any discomfort, judging from his expression, he should feel very cool.
Sure enough, he is the heroic hero of Wagangzhai!
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Lu Guogong, forgive the juniors for taking the liberty to remind you, this wine is strong, and it is easy to get drunk and hurt your body if you drink too much, you should drink some properly, but don't be greedy!" Especially when you are in front of the saint or on duty, you must not ......"
"What? The little doll is afraid that the old man will be greedy for a cup and make a mistake, and His Majesty will blame you? Cheng Zhijie feigned anger and said: "Sue you, Lao Cheng, I am a principled person, and I don't drink a drop of alcohol when I fight and stay in the guard...... In Luoyang Palace for the past three days, the old man is addicted to alcohol......"
So that's the case, no wonder Cheng Zhixing has been honored and favored from Zhenguan to Yonghui years, and this person is really thick and fine. Looking at the thick branches and leaves, but the important things are more cautious than anyone else, plus a brave and loyal heart, is the way for the courtiers to survive.
"Yes, yes, it's the juniors who are too worried!" Xie Yi hurriedly apologized.
Cheng Zhijie waved his hand and said: "That's it, although you kid is talkative, he also cares about Lao Cheng, and he still understands his kindness." Come, come to the door, prepare some side dishes, and share a few drinks with me. ”
"This ...... Lu Guogong, although the kid makes wine, he is not strong enough to drink. Xie Yi was a little afraid, drinking with such a high-roller from the wine country, how could he feel that it would be more auspicious, and most of them would be carried back to the palace today, which would be too big.
"Boy, don't give face to the old man, right? Come...... Take my Xuanhua axe. Lao Cheng roared, and everyone trembled.
Xie Yi was helpless, so he had to sneer and say, "That's good...... A few drinks with you, you're done, I'm free? ”
Cheng Zhijie glanced at Xie Yi, who was smiling with a smile on his face, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, come over quickly, sit down and drink." ”
"Okay!"
Xie Yi had no choice but to sit down obediently, Cheng Zhijie carried forward the spirit of less nonsense and a sip of stuffiness, and drank very energetically.
After a few glasses of wine, when his face was slightly red, he laughed; "It seems unrighteous to drink your wine for nothing, Lao Cheng has to give you something in return...... By the way, you don't look very old, but you have a crown, can you have a table?
Why don't you take the liberty of getting one for you? Although you are a junior, it is not good to always call him by his first name, Lao Cheng and I have always been very polite. ”
"This ......" Although Cheng Zhijie changed his name to a very high level, and the names of his sons are not bad, but after all, he is heroic, and he is drunk today, if he makes a strange word, it will be a black life, and this risk must not be taken.
"Thank you Lu Guogong, although the boy has not performed the crown salute, but there is an old man who once took the word for the next - leisure. In fact, you can also call the junior Saburo. Xie Yi hurriedly excused himself.
"Yiyi, Xiaoyaoye, very good. Since there is, I didn't say it to the old man, but it's not easy...... Don't go astray for the sake of comfort! ”
"The younger generation must follow the teachings of Lu Guogong!" After a few more drinks, Xie Yi hurriedly said goodbye, and was carried out to visit him, which was really rude.
"Okay, Xiaoyao, the old man won't keep you, go!" Lao Cheng has wine as a friend, so how can he take care of others.
Xie Yi said goodbye and left the house, muttering the word "leisurely" to himself.
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, it is the pursuit of people to live freely, but it is not easy to achieve it!
First of all, you have to be a farmer for half a year, planting vegetables and grain for the emperor or the people of the Tang Dynasty.
However, in addition to living a chic life, leisure is also a state of mind.
In this case, for the tireless pursuit of leisure in this life, let's start by being a free farmer!
