Chapter 8 Secretly Tidying Up
Compared with the empty Dutian Mansion, Cai's Mansion can really be described as heaven and earth, a graceful and luxurious place, with a bronze door with a gold and jade ring, a stone body and jade eyes to watch the door of the lion, the luxurious atmosphere is natural, after being led into the mansion by Xiao Si, Cheng Xia's 24k platinum eyes are even more flashed brightly, under the feet is a straight avenue three zhang wide, the avenue is inlaid with uniform and round pebbles, listen to the lead Xiao Si said, the pebbles on this road, all taken from the bottom of the Wei River, only after tens of millions of years of river washing, the pebbles can form such a round and uniform appearance.
Raise your head, raise your eyes, the whole Cai Mansion is like day, three steps, one light, five steps and one fire, even the rockery in the middle of the pond on both sides of the road are densely distributed with Cen Liang candles.
Further on, through a forest of fire, the scene after that is difficult to find a suitable word to evaluate from the perspective of the 21st century.
At the end of the fire forest, suddenly opened, the face is a world of gold and jade and red fire, dozens of buildings in the intersection of various colors of fire under the golden light, shining, the eaves of the phoenix are all made of pure gold, the eyes of the gods are blazing, Xiao Si also introduced from time to time, the manufacture of the head of the kiss, the fire crested eyes of these gems, all are the tribute of the small countries in the West Pole, taken from the bottom of the West Sea, exhausted countless manpower and material resources to collect.
It wasn't until he was taken to the door of the lobby of Cai's mansion by Xiao Si that Cheng Xia came back to his senses, and just came back to his senses, he came to calculate again, this Cai Zhong is so rich, don't pit him, how can he be worthy of the party?......
Entering the lobby, the golden and expensive gas naturally does not need to be mentioned, and the people in the hall, but with the room full of gold and expensive do not match at all, in the lobby, the ten-zhang long table is full of all kinds of delicacies, the other end of the long table, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, full of gold and jade is eating, just the life of the roe eyebrows, short stature, and this luxurious atmosphere does not match the side at all, the appearance of the food is even more flattering, full of foam seeds, two thin hands, is constantly pulling the food on the table to the mouth, found that someone is coming, and does not look up at all, casually said, "Sit casually, sit casually. He began to swallow again.
Dare to be such a casual person in Cai's mansion, Cheng Xia could naturally think that this person was the famous Jin Liang Prime Minister Cai Zhong, but he didn't stick to it, he found a piece of land to sit on the ground, and found that there were no chopsticks on the table, so he randomly found a jasper cup, raised it above his head and said to Cai He: "Cai Xiang is gracious, small disrespect, disrespect!"
said that it was disrespectful, but after finishing speaking, Cheng Xia did not show any respect, and without waiting for Cai Zhong to raise his glass, he drank all the wine in the cup alone, and kept reminiscing, and occasionally praised: "Good wine, good wine." ”
For Cheng Xia's reflection, Cai He was not the slightest unhappy, but a little regret in his heart, yesterday's nephew Cai He was bullied has already reached his ears, I wanted to give this kid a dismount with a luxurious atmosphere, but now, it seems that this kid is not shocked by this atmosphere at all, thinking of this, Cai Zhong couldn't help but look at Cheng Xia twice......
The banquet lasted for an hour, and the two of them at the banquet had their own ghosts, without a trace of words, Cai Zhong was silently thinking about how to make the next plan, after all, Cheng Xia's reflection was not just a thief as his nephew said, besides, listening to the people of the Heavenly Mansion, there was a cultivator beside this kid, and it was obviously not possible to force it. Cheng Xia was thinking about how to defraud Cai Zhong of a large sum of silver taels, before the war, if a large amount of silver taels were purchased from grain merchants at a high price for hoarding, at least when the war began, the price could be prevented from being raised instantly.
After the banquet, Cai Zhong waved his hand and motioned to the attendants who had been waiting outside the door for a long time to remove the scraps, and after doing all this, he said: "Cheng Duzao, I heard that you are good at forging new weapons?"
Arching his hand, Cheng Xia said: "Cai Xianggao looks at it, but he is a strange skill." ”
Waving his hand, Cai Zhong said, "Eh." Why should Cheng Du be humble, he can create a crossbow arrow that even General Jiang can't grasp, this is not something that can be done by tricks, this is a genius. ”
Pinched the rat's whiskers, Cai Zhong's words changed, and then said: "I don't hide it, the grievances between Cheng Du Zao and his contemptuous nephew, the contemptible people have also heard of it, the contemptible nephew is young and not sensible, if there is any offense, please forgive the superintendent a lot, and the contemptible people will accompany the superintendent first." "Then you have to give it up.
Although he knew that Cai Zhong was playing the role of a radish and a stick, Cheng Xia still had to play a good job, so he stepped forward in a "hurry and panic", supported Cai Zhong and said: "The prime minister is polite, and the lowly position is afraid! The matter of your nephew is also a misunderstanding for a while, and there is something wrong with the lowly position, and I also ask the prime minister to accompany the noble nephew on behalf of the lowly position." After that, he also made a "fake" gesture.
After being helped up, Cai Zhong took a cup of tea casually, took a sip, and continued: "Let him go over the past, we are all the people of Jinliang, and we should serve Jinliang.
Seeing this, Cheng Xia hurriedly complimented: "The prime minister's righteousness is unprecedented. ”
Ignoring Cheng Xia's compliment, Cai He put down the teacup, changed his words, and said: "However, the family is just a family member, unarmed, but I disdain to hear that the superintendent is good at weapon forging, if the superintendent can make five thousand crossbows and contempt before the war comes, he should be grateful." ”
Secretly slandered himself for a while, and greeted all the women of the Cai family, and suddenly a plan came to his mind, raised his head, and Cheng Xia said: "The five thousand army crossbows are a small matter, and ask for them from General Jiang, presumably General Jiang will not be embarrassed, but the military crossbow is easy to get and crossbow arrows are hard to find, if the prime minister does not dislike it, he is willing to build 200,000 crossbow arrows for Cheng Lian night, I don't know what the prime minister wants?"
Hearing this, Cai Zhong gasped, fifteen days to build 200,000 crossbow arrows? Isn't this a fantasy? You know, Jinliang City has 200,000 garrisons, and the reserve of crossbow arrows is only one million, this is still the result of years of accumulation, and it takes 15 days to make 200,000 arrows?
However, how is it possible for a cultivator to make arrows? What is the identity of a cultivator? He doesn't even bother to participate in war, and he will make arrows for you as a yellow-haired boy overnight?
Thinking of this, Cai Zhongzhong Dading, "haha" smiled and said: "Young and promising, young and promising, but the eldest husband is alive, you must not lie, if you are playing with me?"
"Hmph!" Speaking of this, Cai He snorted coldly, and his meaning was naturally clear.
Smiling slightly, Cheng Xia said: "Manly husband, once a word is spoken, it is difficult to chase the horse, if the prime minister does not believe it, he is willing to set up a military order as proof, if he can't make 200,000 crossbow arrows within fifteen days." The lowly position voluntarily cut off the head of the item, but the arrow can be made, and the cost of making the arrow is ......"
Cheng Xia promised, Cai Zhong was naturally overjoyed, drank all the tea in the cup, and then said: "It's good to say, it's good to say, five hundred taels of gold, and 200,000 arrows should be enough......
"Hiss" This time, Cheng Xia gasped, the head of the emotional master was worth five million?...... (To be continued)
