087 Horror at home
Zheng Peng never dreamed that his words would one day be in Daming Palace, and he was taken away by Xuanzong Li Longji to appreciate it, but Zheng Peng felt that he was already living in a dream.
Live in a garden-style mansion, surrounded by beautiful women like flowers, sleep until you wake up naturally every day, and there is no shortage of money.
I have time to go around Zhongdao, bored to play cards with Lu Shu and Xiaoyin, and let Aunt Zheng get a table of food to enjoy slowly, and I don't know how much time passes.
The marinated method of mutton and chicken has been formed, under the encouragement of the integral incentive system, the slaves of the braised meat processing workshop work hard one by one, do everything possible to improve the formula and reduce costs, I heard that there are people who have joined forces to ponder together, the production of braised meat is guaranteed quality and quantity, and has been in the pursuit of excellence, Zheng Peng is also happy to be a shopkeeper.
The wisdom of working people is unlimited, and as long as they are given a thought and a hope, they can be stimulated to unlimited creativity.
The progress of new printing is also very fast, after many experiments, and finally under the guidance of Zheng Peng, Hu San and others began to explore the aspect of cement, and the blacksmith has been looking for a smaller frame and typeface.
What made Zheng Peng uneasy was the old man Guo, who turned out to be the "sweeping monk" of Guo's Academy, since the new printing came out, the college did not go, carrying a big broom, and swept the floor around the new printing shed when he was free, making those guards uncomfortable, one by one tense every day, for fear that this uncle was coming to pick thorns and punish himself.
Others are afraid, Zheng Peng is not afraid of him, this old man Guo is actually an old child, and he is unhappy about his behaving rules.
On weekdays, Zheng Peng is after eating lunch and turning around, as if it is to consume food, today Hu San, who is responsible for research and development, said that there is a kiln made of clay to come out, Zheng Peng wants to see how the effect is, so he stayed and waited until the word mold out of the kiln, tested the word mold out of the kiln, and put forward new opinions, and when Zheng Peng left Zhongdao by boat, it was night and the lights were on.
There is a bent moon bud hanging in the dark night sky, the stars are dotted, winter goes to spring, the wind is sandwiched with the fresh breath of young leaves, in the field, the insects are chirping, the frogs are singing, embellishing the silence of the night, this is a wonderful night, a wonderful night belonging to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Zheng Peng stood at the bow of the boat, stretched out his hands, looked at his eyes, felt the gentle feeling of the night breeze blowing through his body, and listened to the sound of the boat pulp breaking through the water, and the whole person was immersed in this beautiful world.
However, there are always some ignorant people who break this beautiful moment, and Ah Fu, the newly bought slave who followed behind, suddenly shouted: "Hey, young master, look, which house in the city holds a banquet, the fire is so big, how many sheep are to be roasted?" ”
In Datang, sheep is the most popular food, there is a saying that "no chicken is not a feast, no sheep is difficult to enjoy", a guest comes, light a bunch of bonfires on a fat lamb, that is the highest etiquette, because roast sheep needs to use a lot of charcoal, it is best to put it in the open air, look at it in a higher place at night, which family has a bonfire, that is, that family wants to feast important guests.
"No," Ah Gui, who bought with Ah Fu, retorted: "How can there be such a big movement in the roast sheep, it should be a fire." ”
"It's a fire, look at the location, it should be the county office." Ah Jun, who has always been taciturn, squinted his eyes and said.
A fire in the county office?
Zheng Peng couldn't help but open his eyes and raised his eyes to take a look, and sure enough, there was a fire in the night sky on the county side that was obvious, and Zheng Peng could guess the approximate location, but he didn't see it very clearly as Ah Jun.
Send people to beat the gong every day to pay attention to the fire in the county government that went off fire? This is big news.
At this time, the boat had already docked, Zheng Peng jumped ashore and said loudly: "Let's go, let's see the excitement." ”
There is still too little entertainment in Datang, there is no Internet, no KTV, no cinema, no playground, and in order to save some lamp oil, the people go to bed early as soon as it gets dark, even the county is also dark, and Zheng Peng has become a little gossipy.
When the group of four people rushed back to the county office, they saw a mess at the door, the ground was full of water marks, and people came in and out from time to time.
"Tan Zhu, what's going on?" Zheng Peng suddenly saw a catcher surnamed Tan, he was a subordinate of Huang Laogui, he knew him, and he was busy inquiring with him.
"It turned out to be Zheng Gongzi, disrespectful." As soon as Tan Zhuai saw Zheng Peng, he put away the hideous face he had just now on his face when he drove away the onlookers, and said respectfully with a flattering smile.
Before Zheng Peng became famous, he was nicknamed the old ghost Huang who was nicknamed the ghostly and worried, and it also made Zheng Peng obedient, and now Zheng Peng's reputation is far and wide, and it is too late for Tan to catch a quick stutter, how dare he slack off.
"What's going on here, messing like this?"
Tan Zhukuai said a little gloomily: "I heard that the rat knocked down the oil lamp, and then ran to the database of the house, and the information in it burned to the ground, and the people in the house were going to cry." ”
"Wouldn't it, rat-burned?" Zheng Peng said with some amusement.
"But isn't it, these days the household has to sort out a batch of materials, ready to send to the state capital, because of the rush, the people in the household have to work overnight, just when they go out to eat, the warehouse goes off fire, someone finds a rat in the room that is about to burn into charcoals, guess that the mouse touched the oil lamp, and finally caused a big disaster." Tan Zhukuai depicted it with some color, as if he had witnessed it at the scene.
I guess it can't be related to him, so I'm a little gloating.
Zheng Peng didn't laugh when he heard this, sighed a few words, rewarded him with a handful of copper coins and walked away.
It's late, and according to Lushu's little girl's temper, she won't eat if she doesn't reply, for fear that she will be in a hurry and her body will not be good if she is hungry.
Thinking of Lu Shu, Zheng Peng couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile on his lips.
After drinking a few more glasses that day, Zheng Peng and Lu Shu took a fragrant bath, although they did not break through the last step, but the relationship between the two progressed quickly, and Zheng Peng felt a little in love.
In fact, it's not fast, the two have experienced a lot together, shared joys and sorrows, and lived with each other, a bit like a matter of course.
Find an opportunity, first get rid of Lushu's slave status, and then wait for three or five years, and the cute little Lori will be raised into a big beauty.
A master and a servant girl fall in love, it seems a bit unbelievable to outsiders, but Zheng Peng didn't think so, like a person, don't care about her background and background, otherwise it is not a love, but a marriage transaction.
Like someone is not only to have and override her, but to be happy with each other and make her happy.
When you see a beautiful woman, your eyes light up, that's called impulsiveness, you like a person, and you want to hold the hand of your son and grow old with it, that's heartbeat.
Otherwise, Guo Ketang used the beauty trick that day, and Zheng Peng would have raised the white flag a long time ago.
Zheng Peng thought about it while rushing home, and when he arrived at the door, he was a little unhappy and said to himself: "This Zheng Fu, you have to talk about him well, what is the savings, the little family is angry." ”
On weekdays, there are big lanterns hanging at the door, and the lanterns are lit with big red candles, which look bright and magnificent, but tonight there are two small lanterns at the door, and the faces of the people are not very clear.
"Young Master." The two guards looked at Zheng Peng, bowed their heads and saluted, and opened the side door for Zheng Peng to enter.
Ah Fu and Ah Gui led the horse and pulled the cart alone, Zheng Peng took Ah Jun and instructed while walking back: "Next time hang four big lanterns here, don't save this little money." ”
"Yes, young master."
Zheng Peng nodded, in response, stepped over the threshold with one foot, just wanted to call Lu Shu, but he didn't expect that the whole person seemed to have been hit by someone, and he almost didn't fall, just when he was about to fall, suddenly a strong and powerful hand gently pulled, barely stabilized his body, and before he came back to his senses, he vaguely saw a flash of cold light in front of him, and then there was a "swish" sound, only to see Ah Jun protecting himself with one hand, holding a sharp horizontal knife with the other, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you, do you know who my young master is?" ”
"Huh" A sturdy subordinate said with some surprise: "Yes, you found us so quickly, you can see that you are a master by looking at the frame of the knife, I didn't expect that there is such a character in the small Guixiang County." ”
When Zheng Peng heard the conversation, his heart was shocked: It's not good, there is a situation.
By the way, when I go home on weekdays, Lu Shu will wait outside the door until she comes back, but tonight I don't see Lu Shu, and there are only two small lanterns hanging at the door of the house that can't see people's faces clearly, just to cover up the two subordinates who pretend to be the gatekeepers.
Ah Jun said without changing his face: "I always feel restless these days, it seems that you are the ghost, I didn't expect you to dare to set up an ambush in Zheng's house, and when I found out that my body shape and accent were wrong, it was too late, and said, what are you going to do?" ”
Zheng Peng immediately said: "Good man, everything is easy to discuss, don't hurt the harmony, what about the people in my house?" ”
In addition to Zheng Fu, Aunt Zheng, Xiaoyin and Lu Shu, there are two maidservants and five Jian slaves who take care of the house, but none of them are seen, which is very unusual, the other party did not take the opportunity to take away the property, and dared to set up an ambush, there must be all prepared, Zheng Peng gave up the urge to shout loudly, and began to discuss with them.
Money is a bastard, you can earn it after you spend it, no matter how much money you have when your life is gone, it is useless, and now Zheng Peng is most worried about Lushu's safety.
"It is not up to you to decide this." As soon as the "subordinate" raised his hand, more than a dozen people suddenly poured out of the darkness, each with a powerful crossbow with an arrow in his hand, and the arrow flashed with a blue cold light in the dim light, which was obviously pure medicine.
The leader looked at Ah Jun with a smile, and said with a sneer: "I know that you are good, maybe you can dodge, but whether your young master can dodge, I dare not guarantee it." ”
Ah Jun's face turned pale, and the hand holding the knife was trembling due to excessive force, and finally Ah Jun let go of his hand, and the horizontal knife fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of "pop".
Zheng Peng felt that this crisp sound was a bit like the sound of his own heartbreak.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come, the other party has figured out his own details, and he resolutely does it in the city, this matter is definitely not simple.
The leader sneered, waved his hand, and immediately someone rushed up to tie Ah Jun tightly, and stuffed a broken bulb on his mouth, and he didn't know what to do.
