843 Lieutenant Late Gifts

"Haha"

As soon as Li Eryi returned to the Lizheng Palace, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Your Majesty, what is the happy event that makes you smile so happily?" Empress Eldest Sun asked curiously while tidying up his clothes.

Since the full-scale war on the Western Front, Li Er's smiling face has been less, either thinking about the battle ahead, or worrying about the finances, and now seeing her husband smiling so happily, Empress Changsun's mood also made him infected, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Guanyin, have you read today's newspaper?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubine hasn't seen it yet, after the emperor goes to court, the concubine is still waiting for the emperor in Tai'an Palace, and after returning to the palace, she has to take care of her son, and she just fell asleep."

Li Er took the hand of Empress Changsun and said, "My Guanyin maid has worked hard. ”

"This is what a concubine should do, by the way, Your Majesty, you haven't said anything big."

"Ha Luha" Li Erda laughed a few times, and then sold a pass and said: "Guanyin, I ask you, have you ever seen the demon king of the mixed world suffer?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and said with a smile: "Lu Guogong is a master who does not suffer losses, why, he has suffered losses?" ”

"Not only did I suffer a loss, but I also made people slap my face and been beaten, and I have to thank others, do you believe it?"

"The concubine doesn't believe it, with Lu Guogong's personality, then can't it be turned upside down?"

Li Er didn't speak, handed the newspaper on the desk to Empress Changsun, and pointed out the two articles, signaling Empress Changsun to read them, and after reading them, Empress Changsun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh and scold: "This Liu Yuan really dares to write, I'm afraid that General Cheng will be in a dilemma this time." ”

"That's fine, he always relies on the old and sells the old, and he has no words, and someone happens to clean him up. Let him learn a lesson, and it can be regarded as a wake-up call. ”

Empress Eldest Sun said with some worry: "Your Majesty, do you think these two people will make trouble?" If the two of them have any damage, it will not be a good thing for me to Datang, otherwise, the concubine will come forward and say peace to the two, and the big things will be turned into small things, and the small things will be turned into nothing. ”

"No need, although the Demon King of the Mixed World is mixed. It's not that he is old and confused, otherwise, he would have suffered a lot of losses, and besides, they have a cooperative relationship, and they will not fall out because of this little thing. ”

"General Cheng has lost such a big face. Will he give up? ”

Li Er said confidently: "If you lose your face, you can get it back." I guess it will cost a little money. If I guessed correctly, this demon king of the mixed world is going to bleed, hahaha. ”

In Cheng's mansion, Cheng's father and son sat in the hall, dejected, and didn't speak for a long time. In the words of Cheng Lao Demon King, this time it was regarded as capsizing in the gutter, which made Liu Yuan's rabbit cub miserable, but Cheng Huailiang did not dare to return to the barracks. Even the old demon king Cheng is embarrassed to wander outside, it's embarrassing.

After sitting for a while, Cheng Lao Demon King stood up, turned around and wanted to leave, Cheng Huailiang hurriedly asked, "Dad, where are you going?" ”

"Get out of the way, Lao Tzu is in a thatched house, I have to talk to you."

"Ah, the child doesn't dare."

Old Demon King Cheng snorted angrily and went to the backyard to make it convenient, but he didn't expect to walk around a corner, and suddenly heard the voice of a subordinate whispering in front of him:

"No, our lord, can't even send the monthly money?"

"Stupid you, the lord is the prince of the country, I don't know how much I collect in a year just in the fiefdom, and there are so many shops and granges, not to mention only two hundred taels, that is, twenty thousand taels, the lord can also take it out casually, haven't you heard of it, the treasury in the backyard, every year the silver is picked up and carried in, more in and less out."

"Oh, Brother Zhang, I understand, my lord didn't want to donate so much, so he said that on purpose."

The man named Brother Zhang said a little depressedly: "The lord miscalculated this time, when I bought something for my wife today, the whole Chang'an was discussing, saying that the old man was stingy and stingy, and there was no good heart, saying that these were still light, some people said, a few days ago, the old man bought ginseng, and bought more than 300 taels of silver, and the young master bought jewelry to give to the young lady, and it cost more than 500 taels at a time, that is, two days ago, the old man picked two beautiful maids in the slave market, and threw down nearly 200 taels without blinking, and now the people in Chang'an are talking about it, Saying that the master is hypocritical or something, that's right, tsk, it's too ugly. ”

"This is also, a national prince, who donates less than a common man, but he still says that he can't pay monthly money and doesn't change new clothes for three years, I'm a person from Chengfu, and it's not a taste to hear this."

"But it's not, I went out to buy something, and when I heard that I was from Chengfu, I looked at them like monkeys, and I didn't want to mention it."

"This time, sir"

Although the two of them talked in a whisper, Cheng Lao Demon King is not old, his eyes are not dazzling, and his ears are very sensitive, he can hear it clearly, and he is in a bad mood, but now the more he listens, the more he doesn't feel it, what he didn't expect is that the next person also knows the Tao, so angry that his face is blue, and he suddenly walked two steps faster, pointing at the two subordinates who bit the root of their tongues and scolded: "You two Tian Shenu, what are you biting the root of your tongue?" Are all the work done? Let me catch you lazy again, and your legs will be discounted. ”

"Yes, yes, sir, the little one will go right away.

"Go and go right away"

The two of them were so frightened by Liu Yuan's roar that their faces turned pale, their legs trembled, and they ran away like a roll.

"Forgot to beat these two bunnies, it's cheaper for them." Old Demon King Cheng suddenly said to himself, he was so angry just now that he forgot to teach these two subordinates who bit their tongues a lesson, so that they escaped.

Finally, the old demon king Cheng was sitting in the hall, still thinking about how to deal with this matter, but he didn't expect that at this time, the housekeeper cautiously came over and reported: "Master, the steward Wu of the Weichi Mansion asks to see you." ”

The housekeeper of the Weichi Mansion?

Old Demon King Cheng paused for a moment, and although he didn't understand his intention, he still waved his hand and said, "Pass." ”

Not long after, a shrewd middle-aged man appeared in the lobby, followed by a subordinate holding a gift box, as soon as he entered the lobby, Steward Wu respectfully saluted the old demon king Cheng.

"Okay, these customs are exempted, what did your master send you to do?"

The housekeeper said respectfully: "My master sent the little one to give General Cheng a thin gift, and asked General Cheng to accept it with a smile." After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the next person handed over the gift box in his hand to the hands of the people of Cheng Fu.

As soon as the gift box was handed over, the housekeeper immediately took his leave, and led his subordinates away in a hurry, as if there was a dog chasing after him.

"Put down the gift box, the old man wants to see how kind this old guy Chi Jingde is to send me something today." Old Demon King Cheng said loudly.

Cheng Lao Demon King and Yu Chi Jingde, although they are old comrades-in-arms and old brothers, but neither of them convinces anyone, Cheng Lao Demon King thinks that Yu Chi De Jingde relies on the old and sells the old, and Yu Chi Jingde thinks that Cheng Lao Demon King deliberately pretends to be crazy and stupid, but both of them are meritorious generals, and no one obeys anyone.

"Yes, sir." The man gently placed the gift box on the desk in front of Old Demon King Cheng according to his words.

"Huh, gold?" As soon as Cheng Lao Demon King opened it, Cheng Huailiang, who stretched his neck to look at it, suddenly called out in surprise, after the gift box was opened, he saw two ingots of yellow and clear silver lying in the gift box, and the gold was under it, as if there was still a piece of clothing, Cheng Lao Demon King's face changed, picked up the clothes, and opened them, his face was as red as Guan Gong at once: it was just a flower dress worn by a child about three years old, the small sleeves, it is estimated that Cheng Lao Demon King could not stuff two fingers into it, and there was a note under the clothes:

After the brother heard that the brother donated two hundred taels, the life was difficult to continue, the diet needed to be cut, and he had not added clothes for three years. The inscription is: Wei Chi Jingde.

Didn't you say that you can't get by if you donate two hundred taels? Then I will give you two hundred taels; Didn't you say that you haven't added new clothes for three years? I'll give you another set, it's just that the little flower dress is clearly a mockery of Cheng Old Demon King for being stingy and childish, the two used to make fun of each other, and now they see that Cheng Old Demon King was teased by Liu Yuan, as an old opponent, where is Wei Chi Jingde willing to miss such an opportunity? As soon as I read the newspaper, I immediately sent someone to disgust Old Demon King Cheng.

No wonder that such a housekeeper ran so fast, it seems that he was instructed by his master early in the morning, and he quickly slipped away after giving the gift, so as not to make the Demon King of the Mixed World angry for a while and embarrass him.

With a sound of "Peng", Cheng Lao Demon King threw his clothes hard, kicked the case over with a kick that seemed to be hateful, pounded his chest with both hands, and exclaimed with a sad face: "Ahhh

The dignified general, Lu Guogong, was so humiliated by a mere two hundred taels of silver that he couldn't speak, and let his old opponents who had been competing with him laugh at him, and the old demon king Cheng was so angry that he was about to cry.

"Dad, don't, what are you doing?" Cheng Huailiang on the side saw Cheng Lao Demon King punching his chest one by one, like an orangutan, so frightened that he hurriedly hugged Cheng Lao Demon King, for fear that he would do something stupid.

"Let go, cuddle and hug, what kind of system." Old Demon King Cheng suddenly broke away and said with a fierce face: "Your father can't die yet." ”

As soon as he heard that his son had nothing to do, Cheng Huailiang breathed a sigh of relief, but soon said with a bitter face: "Dad, what should I do now?" ”

Old Demon King Cheng sat down again, thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "You still need to tie the bell to unlock the bell, go, tie Liu Yuan to me." ”

"Dad, what are you going to do?" Cheng Huailiang was anxious all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "General Liu is a popular person in front of the emperor, and there is Qinghe Cui's family behind him to support him, and besides, the wild goose may be given to him, just a family, you, don't mess around." ”

"Yes" Cheng Lao Demon King immediately said: "If this kid sees that situation, hides, and can't find anyone, the old man is even more embarrassed, go, invite him, be polite, you tell him, the old man uses his personality as a guarantee, and he will never embarrass him, just say that he has something to discuss." ”

Seeing Cheng Huailiang looking at himself with some suspicion, Cheng Lao Demon King couldn't help but kick it, and scolded while kicking: "Little rabbit cub, what kind of eyes, Lao Tzu said that if you don't feel embarrassed, you won't be embarrassed, your Lao Tzu's personality is worthless, hurry up, don't delay." ”

"Yes, Daddy, the boy will go right away." (To be continued......)
