Zhao Ta came to this world, and he had never seen anyone from his grandmother's family, although he knew the intention of these two uncles, but he still had an indescribable urge to see them immediately, this feeling may be due to the blood relationship, or it may be grateful to his grandfather's family for taking care of him after leaving the palace.

Zhao Ta came to the front hall after changing clothes, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zheng Shou, the third steward in the small living room, accompanying the two people to have tea, thinking that they were his two maternal uncles. "Ta'er meets the two uncles!" Zhao Ta didn't wait for Xiao Huangmen to report, stepped forward and snatched two walks and said.

"How could I receive such a great gift from the prince!" One of them hurriedly got up and hugged Zhao Ta, and said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, this is Zheng Xi, the second son of the Guogong Mansion, and also your second uncle!" Zheng Shou knew that Zhao Ta didn't know them, so he hurriedly introduced them one by one, "That is Zheng Yu, the sixth son of the Guogong Mansion, and he is your little uncle!" ”

Listening to Zheng Shou's introduction, Zhao Ta looked at the two people, Zheng Xi was in his thirties, with long thick eyebrows and big eyes, white skin, good facial features, wearing a robe made of Shu brocade, with a gold belt tied around his waist, a silverfish bag hanging on it, with a jade ring, and a white jade fracture fan made in Japan in his hand, looking like a child of an official eunuch; Although Zheng Yu behind him was also wearing a brocade robe, at a glance, he knew that the materials and workmanship of Lu Dao were much worse, and there was only a rhino belt inlaid with jade pieces in his waist, and his face was delicate, but faintly a little gloomy, and those who didn't know the situation of Lu Dao would definitely regard him as the second follower.

"The prince's body looks good, your grandparents are always worried every time they mention it, and now they know that you are well, and they will be happy, this time they know that you have made the prince, and immediately prepared a congratulatory gift, let me send it!" Zheng Xi said with a smile on his face.

"Let my grandparents miss it, but the second uncle doesn't want to be in the prince, the prince's call, it's all a family that seems to be divided, don't you say little uncle?"

"Oh, then forgive me for being disrespectful, call Ta'er!" Without waiting for Zheng Yu to speak, Zheng Xi rushed to answer.

The three of them sat down again, and they were not familiar with each other just when they met, so Zhao Ta asked how the two elders in the family were doing, how they were doing during the New Year, how the other uncles and aunts were, and what their brothers and sisters were doing. chatted for a while, and slowly warmed up, Zheng Xi was very talkative, no matter what happened in the court, or the rumors in the market, he could say one, two, three, just like the big and small things in the capital that he didn't know, on the other hand, Zheng Yu only occasionally interjected a few words, and only asked about Zhao Ta's body and studies, and most of the time he drank tea and listened to them.

In the evening, Zhao Tan set up a banquet to entertain the two uncles, and only Huang Jingchen and the three stewards in the house accompanied him during the banquet, and after the meal, he cleaned up the two rooms and arranged for them to stay, and no one mentioned the matter of soju. On the second day, Zhao Ta accompanied them to drink and eat, and visited the mansion, and it was still the same on the third day.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Zheng Xi and his brothers had breakfast, waiting to continue to visit the palace with the prince, and a small yellow gate came to tell them that the prince had gone to the construction site of the river embankment to play today, so that they could take care of themselves. "Sixth, have you asked Zheng Fu?" No matter how big the Zhao Mansion is, they have been walking around for two days, and besides, the repair at home is much better than this, and they have no interest in wandering around alone, Zheng Xi asked about business.

"Second brother, I asked, and he said he didn't understand about it!" Zheng Yu poured a cup of tea for Zheng Xi and replied carefully.

"This dog thing, our Zheng Mansion has raised him for so many years, and he has actually learned to play with us here!" Zheng Xi slapped the table and said angrily, "You too, won't he ask others if he doesn't say it?" ”

"I asked, and they all said they didn't know there was such a thing in Ludao." Zheng Yu looked at the second brother who was angry, lowered his head and said.

"What?! I don't know what to say, these treacherous things are all wolf cubs who can't be fed! "Most of the big and small stewards in the mansion plus the miscellaneous servants in the nursing home used to be from the Zheng Mansion, but now they all don't know anything, no wonder Zheng Xi is angry.

"Second brother, don't be angry, this soju is a secret, it's normal for these people to not know the way!" Zheng Yu persuaded.

"Fart, Ta'er is only eight years old, what does he know, he is not the main thing for Zheng Fu and the others to take care of, they will not know how to say such an important matter, who will believe it!" Zheng Xi's nose was on fire and he shouted.

"Second brother, don't forget, the chief manager of this mansion is not our person, he is sent by the palace, maybe only he knows about this matter." Zheng Yu whispered. ,

"Oh, didn't Zheng Quan say that a subordinate in the mansion knows how to make soju, could it be a person from the inner courtyard, this is impossible." Zheng Xi shook his head and said that he originally thought that the Zhao Mansion was a person from the Guogong Mansion, and he only needed to come in person, find out that person, and complete this simple task with a little operation, but now these people don't know what medicine Lu Dao has taken, and they don't buy it from their 'old master', and they don't believe that the people in the palace will know how to make wine.

"Second brother, why don't we talk to Ta'er directly and see what conditions they will have?" Zheng Yu proposed.

"Ta'er is a child, and I still don't know the great benefits of it, if we say it, will it be so easy to find people?" Zheng Xi looked stupid, squinted and reprimanded.

"Second brother, didn't my father say that we should partner with the palace, you do this..." Zheng Yu said as if he hadn't seen it.

"Don't say it, I have my own plans, if you call Zheng Fu over tonight, just say I'll invite him!" Zheng Xi flicked down his sleeves and said with a somewhat hideous expression.

Zheng Yu was taken aback, understood the second brother's thoughts, he wanted to swallow it alone, opened his mouth or swallowed back the words of persuasion, turned around and went out to find someone, but he didn't have much hope for it. In the past two days, he has met with several old people in the original house, but he feels that although these people still remember the old feelings, they are not as enthusiastic as before, and his words are full of admiration for the new master, and he can hear that these words of praise are by no means because they have climbed the high branches, but from the bottom of their hearts.

······

Zhao Tan didn't see them for a few days, he still practiced boxing and martial arts every day, read books and grow vegetables, and seemed to forget the existence of the two uncles, "See, what have the two uncles been doing in the past two days?" He crossed Erlang's legs and asked, his military life in his previous life made him develop the habit of finding out the situation and making decisions when he encountered problems, and of course cooperation was no exception.

"Second master, the second uncle now invites a few stewards to eat and drink every day, inquiring about soju, the big steward, the second steward is scared by him, he soaks on the river embankment every day, he doesn't dare to go home, the third steward can't dodge, he can only barely cope, but I can't stand it!" Seeing Xi said with a smile, "Uncle Liuguo is at ease, he either reads books or wanders around every day, except for the first few days when he first came, he has never looked for anyone in the house!" ”

"Well, he still doesn't give up, you won't be bought by him, right?" Zhao Ta nodded, suddenly turned his face and asked.

"Second master, the conscience of heaven and earth, the matter of soju, I haven't shown a word in front of him, if I lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!" Seeing Xi smiled and swore to the sky.

"Okay, don't pretend, aren't you tired?" Zhao Ta glanced at him, and said helplessly, this kid is becoming more and more 'presumptuous', "Have you figured out their details?" ”

"Second master, I see that you can rest assured, I asked a few old people in the Guogong Mansion to inquire clearly, the big uncle and the second uncle are both from Mrs. Tai, but the big uncle is indifferent by nature and doesn't like businessmen, so the business in the Guogong Mansion is taken care of by the second uncle, but it is said that he is stubborn and self-serving, and likes to bully others, everyone just looks at the face of the mother to make him a little bit, but it makes him more proud; Uncle Liuguo is the concubine of the prince, read poetry and books for several years, but repeatedly fell first, the year before last in the shadow of the Jinshi, but did not give the official, now in charge of the two wine shops in the capital, but the person is kind and benevolent, and the reputation is not bad! ”

Listening to Jianxi's reply, Zhao Ta also figured out that Zheng Xi was the second eldest and had no hope of attacking the lord, although he was in charge of the property in the house, it was all kilometers. He came out this time with selfish intentions, and wanted to take this opportunity to get his hands on the recipe for making soju, leaving a way back for himself, and he could still start a new life after the division of the government.

"Money is moving, even Lao Tzu's nephew wants to pit for money!" This kind of thing of forcing Lao Tzu to jump off the building for money, and the old lady living on the streets, Zhao Ta had also seen it in his previous life, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him in ancient times.

"Second master, that kid is not right, I think it's better to send him away!" Seeing that Xi saw Zhao Tan's dissatisfaction, Uncle Guo immediately became that kid, and his uncle castrated himself and sent him to the palace, so he was very uninterested in 'uncle'.

"They are unkind, we can't be unjust, even if we don't look at my mother, we have to save some face for them in my grandfather's care for me, but I can't let my second uncle take care of this matter, you can accompany me to meet them!" Zhao Ta sighed and said, ending the inspection period of the two people, he knew in his heart that the reason why his grandfather sent his two sons to talk about this matter was to let him choose one of the two. It is said that knowing the son is better than the father, and the old man is not testing him.

Seeing that Xi heard the order, he immediately sent someone to pass the word, but Zheng Yu was the only one who came, it turned out that Zheng Xi tried his best in a few days, and he couldn't get something useful out of the mouths of a few stewards, so in a fit of anger, he took two entourages to Yingtianfu to relax. Where did he know that in the entire palace, only Zhao Ta and Jianxi knew how to make soju, and you couldn't ask about the others even if they slaughtered him, and Zheng Xi miscalculated when he played with him.
