The next day, Shi Wengong brought his senior brother Lin Chong and his junior brother Pang He to see Zeng Lang. The house where the owner of Zengtou City lives is really magnificent, showing his rich atmosphere everywhere. For example, glazed corrugated walls, such as gold-carved jade pillars, even if they have just entered the door, they also reveal the wealth and wealth that they have made.
After entering the door, Shi Wengong asked Lin Chong and Pang He to wait inside the gate, and ran alone to inform Zeng Lang, and then took Lin Chong and Pang He into the hall. In the hall, there were about 20 servants and servants, plus more than a dozen maids, standing in front of each chair. On the right hand side of each chair is a delicate table with a purple sand teapot and purple sand teacup.
Shi Wengong asked his senior brother Lin Chong and junior brother Pang He to sit down first, and when Zeng Lang arrived, Pang He sat down, looked at the style of this hall, and admired the strength and financial resources of Zeng Rong.
After a while, a sick old man came to the door, looking to be about fifty years old, dressed in brocade clothes and jade forging, and led by several female maids. Although he looked sick, between his eyebrows, there was a hint of heroism and a murderous aura, which made people feel a little nervous.
Zeng walked to Lin Chong and Pang He's side with a smile, and the two senior brothers who had already stood up looked at them intently. Zeng Lane raised his hand and said, "Two, since they are the senior brothers of Duke Wen, they should regard this place as their own home, please sit, please sit." ”
Lin Chong and Pang He sat down slowly, and Zeng Rong also sat down on it, and said, "Why did you come here, I have already heard Wen Gong say. I've been afraid of anyone, but I'm not stupid enough to be taken advantage of. In this way, I will write to your Liangshan leader about this matter, and for those who sow discord, I think both of us should get rid of it quickly. ”
Lin Chong said: "Well, then bother Mr. Zeng!"
Zeng said: "It's nothing, I'm a businessman, and I always value profits. If Yangsan has any resentment towards us, which leads to war, it is something I don't want to see. Do you know the origin of this Zengtou City?"
Lin Chong and Pang He shook their heads and said that they didn't know, Zeng Lang said slowly: "I am a merchant in Dajin Kingdom, specializing in ginseng and other valuable medicines, and I am also fortunate to get acquainted with the greater magnates of the Central Plains, and here in Yuncheng, I have some prestige, so I bought this place and renamed it Zengtou City." I have five sons, the eldest son Zeng Yan, the second son Zeng Mi, the third son Zeng Suo, the fourth son Zeng Kui, and the fifth son Zeng Sheng. ”
Pang He said: "Mr. Zeng still has nearly 10,000 men and horses, and he doesn't have some cars, if you want to fight against you, I'm afraid you have to weigh yourself, whether you have the strength or not." ”
Zeng joked: "Haha, that's nature, that's nature." Although I only have less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, under the training of Shi Jiaotou, they are all elite soldiers. ”
Lin Chong nodded and said, "We have already seen your strength, and I believe that the people and horses trained by Senior Brother Shi must be elite soldiers." ”
Shi Wengong said modestly: "Hey, senior brother, it's rare for you to praise me, but when it comes to training, you still have a set better than me." Now that you're here, I'm going to ask you for advice!"
Pang He saw that Shi Wengong was humble, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Wengong, why haven't you seen you for many years, but you are humble!"
Lin Chong continued: "Yes, we are all from the same school, basically on par, why did you suddenly change your normal state and say that you want to ask me for advice?"
Shi Wengong said: "Hey, can't I just say ask for advice?"
Zeng Lang said: "It's a pity, you are now from Liangshan, how I hope that you will work for me like Wen Gong." ”
Pang He and Lin Chong said in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Zeng, for your love!"
Zeng Lang said: "Actually, I have admired you for a long time. I often ask Wen Gong about you, but Wen Gong says I don't know where you are. When I learned that Lin Jiaotou was assigned to the army because of his mistake in the White Tiger Hall, I was extremely sorry. You also know that I am a golden man, and I can't help the head of the Lin sect, but I am afraid that once I am used by the villain, I will provoke a war between the two countries. Therefore, every time I mention this matter, I am very sorry, if I can get your senior brothers to join, I think the power of our Zeng family will go to a higher level. And I have also heard that Pang Xian's nephew, you are very smart, and I have also sent people to the restaurant that runs in the capital. Later, you don't know where to go, do you know, although my five sons say that they have martial arts, they don't have much talent in management. If you are here, I can rest assured that we will hand over our Zeng family's business to you to develop and grow. ”
Pang He heard Zeng Lane praising himself, and said: "Mr. Zeng has won the award, I am just lucky, how can Pang He be so praised, I am really ashamed to be praised by Mr. Zeng so much." ”
Zeng said: "I am over fifty, in the words of your Song Dynasty, it is fifty to know the destiny of heaven." Am I my age and I think I'm not there yet. I'm just a little tired and want to find a reliable person to help, who is what kind of person, who can and who can't, I can see it, and I know it. If I couldn't even see who I was, how could I have achieved what I am today, and I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you. So, don't be humble, you are a talent, and your brother is also a talent. Compared to my unsuccessful son, how I think, you are my children, in this way, I can go, and I can go with peace of mind. ”
Lin Chong and Pang He stood up and said, "Mr. Zeng, Mr. Zeng..."
Zeng Lang motioned for them to sit back: "You sit, you sit! I know these things are impossible, but this is just a thought in my heart, who doesn't want their son to be very good?"
Pang He said: "Mr. Zeng has won the award!"
Zeng Lang slowly stood up: "Okay, I'm tired, you can stay here for a day first, and when I think of the content of the letter, I will write it down and take it away for you!"
Lin Chong and Pang He also stood up and sent Zeng out of the hall.
Shi Wengong walked up to Lin Chong and Pang He's side and said, "Senior brother, senior brother, why don't we have another drink at night, how about not getting drunk and not returning?"
