Seeing that Zheng Peng had no opinion on Xiao Xiang's choice, but was very concerned, Lu Shu whispered: "Young master, the slave family is going to give Xiao Xiang a dowry, you see..."

The name is the master and servant, the love is like a sister, Lu Shu does not treat Xiaoxiang as an outsider, and when she heard that Xiaoxiang was going to marry, she was a little reluctant, but Xiaoxiang has been waiting for Zheng Peng for so many years, and has not been able to turn into a girl in the room.

Fortunately, due to the outstanding performance of Zheng Fu and A Jun, Zheng Peng also fulfilled his promise to help Xiaoxiang get rid of his slave status, so that he could marry openly and beautifully.

Zheng Peng thought for a while and said: "Xun'er, you have a good relationship with Xiaoxiang, it is better to marry Jinlan with her, recognize a sister, and then give her a rich dowry in the name of a sworn sister. ”

Ah Jun has always been conscientious and loyal, but when he was covering Zheng Peng's breakthrough, Zheng Peng compensated Xiao Xiang for his apologies to Ah Jun.

Lin Xun'er was a little surprised, but she quickly said, "Understood, young master, the slave family will do it in a while." ”

The fortunes of the Tang Dynasty are prosperous, the domestic wind and rain are smooth, the four seas are peaceful, and the foreign countries have won great victories and prestige far and wide, especially the inclusion of Tubo in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the government and the opposition are very happy, Li Longji is in a good mood, not only to reward the meritorious soldiers, but also to the world, and order the subjects to celebrate, especially the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, all kinds of light wheels, lighthouses, light towers, light cars, marquees, etc., which make people dazzled.

Zheng Peng has been busy until the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and he will also go to the Lantern Festival on the Yuan Festival, so he can finally relax a little.

The braised meat business is gone, but the Three Treasures and Baume & Mercier Distillery are still operating, Zheng Peng has not taken care of it for a long time, and he has to check the accounts and income and expenditure, and send out the dividends of the shareholders, and then prepare the items for the New Year, maintain relationships, participate in various banquets, etc., and have to sit everywhere during the New Year.

On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, as soon as Zheng Peng finished breakfast, his subordinates came to report that An Lushan and An Sishun wanted to see him.

Before the Chinese New Year, they were given a hundred taels of gold, let them enjoy it, and then look for themselves after enjoying the lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival, these two people did not run away with heavy money, and they were ready to come to report, Zheng Peng nodded secretly in his heart.

Soon, Zheng Peng met with these two people in the side hall.

When An Lushan and An Sishun saw Zheng Peng, they hurriedly knelt down on their right knee and said respectfully: "Yuan Zheng Qizuo, everything is new, and the little one wishes the young master good health and rising step by step." ”

Zheng Peng glanced at the two of them, nodded and said, "Very good, get up." ”

When I saw An Lushan and An Sishun for the first time, the two were wearing half-worn clothes, their faces were a little yellow, there was no look in their eyes, and they smelled a peculiar smell when they got closer, which was not much different from the market on the street, it was difficult to see that there was anything special.

Compared with the Chinese New Year, it is like two people.

"Young Master Xie." An Lushan and An Sishun thanked each other and stood up.

The two of them were a little apprehensive and a little excited, they knew that from today onwards, they would officially do things for Zheng Peng.

An Lushan took the initiative to speak: "Our brother has been rewarded by the young master many times before he has made an inch, and I feel ashamed, please ask the young master to arrange an errand for our brother, so that he can serve the young master." ”

"I am willing to serve the young master as a dog and horse." An Sishun said with a serious face.

Zheng Peng asked casually while drinking tea: "Very good, you two brothers are still acquainted, and they didn't abscond with money, let's talk about it, what are you good at, and what do you want to do?" ”

An Lushan and An Sishun looked at each other, and quickly responded: "Back to the young master's words, our two brothers' riding and archery skills are not bad, Sishun can see horses, and can also treat livestock, the younger one is good at running feet and inquiring about news, Sheng Meng Young Master took him in, let us do whatever we want, and our two brothers have no gossip." ”

Absconding with money? An Lushan and An Sishun never thought about it at all, no one in the government and the opposition knew that Zheng Peng had a bright future, how many people wanted to take refuge but couldn't find the door, they all said that Zheng Peng was also a famous and rich man, and he would sell a hundred taels of gold at every turn.

After getting Zheng Peng's reward of one hundred taels of gold, the two bought a few sets of comfortable clothes, lived in a first-class room, and went in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane.

Before the two came to the door, they guessed that Zheng Peng would ask what he was good at and what he wanted to do, and after discussion, he felt that he was not good at anything, and he was not particularly good at anything, so he unanimously decided to keep a low profile and not mention conditions, so as not to make Zheng Peng feel that he was unrealistic and unrealistic.

To be honest, with Zheng Peng's prestige and fame, as long as he opens his mouth, there are more talents than himself, even now, An Lushan and An Sishun can't understand why the high-ranking Zheng Peng would take a fancy to his two brothers.

Zheng Peng put down the teacup and said unhurriedly: "You two follow me, I wonder if Ashde's clan and General An Bozhu will have any opinions?" ”

As soon as the words fell, An Lushan and An Sishun's faces changed, and they knelt down together and shouted: "The general spares his life, the little one is not deliberately concealed." ”

The two are very glad that Zheng Peng has not asked about the family situation of the two, because the two of them ran away secretly, and they both thought that if Zheng Peng asked, they would say that the two were orphans, but they didn't expect Zheng Peng to open his mouth and say his own situation.

But think about it, it was easy for Zheng Peng to investigate the two people, the two stayed in Chang'an, they needed to register, in order to sacrifice horses, An Lushan and An Sishun also went to the same clan who were engaged in livestock trading in Chang'an for help, Zheng Peng sent someone to inquire to know.

By the way, after completing the test, the famous Zheng Peng in front of him did not take him in as soon as possible, but gave a sum of money, goodbye after the Shangyuan Festival, it is very likely that Zheng Peng used this time to investigate his own details, a big man like Zheng Peng will not be used around people with unknown backgrounds.

Zheng Peng said unhurriedly: "Don't be nervous, what to say, remember, I don't like others to lie to me." ”

An Lushan hurriedly said: "Back to the general's words, the little biological father has passed away, the mother took the little one to remarry, the stepfather doesn't like the little one, regards the small one as a pig and a dog, does the hardest and most tiring work, eats the worst meals, sleeps in the most smelly bed, and threatens that if he hadn't taken him in, Lushan would have been a dry bone in the grave, and the eldest husband could not be killed, and he lived with him, and lived a shameful life every day, so he found an opportunity to run out." ”

After a pause, An Lushan gritted his teeth and said: "Unless there is a day when the clothes return to their hometown, otherwise, I will never see them again in this life." ”

An Sishun took over the conversation and said with some bitterness: "Don't dare to hide the general, Sishun's tribe is destroyed, although as the son of the general, life is very difficult, and he can only follow his uncle and others to send people under the fence, but the life under the fence is very sad, and he is controlled by others everywhere, and finally goes to the field with his brother An Lushan to make a living." ”

The situation is similar to what Zheng Peng understands, and when he heard this, he said: "If your family knows that you are waiting to do things here, will there be something wrong?" ”

"No," An Lushan said in a low voice: "At home, they often scolded me for being too good at eating, and now that I am gone, I will only think that I have saved a lot of food." ”

An Sishun said: "The general doesn't know, the concept of the Turkic tribe and the Han nationality is different, the Han nationality pays attention to inheritance and cultivation, and has the habit of parents traveling not far away; The Turks, on the other hand, like to make adult children self-reliant and cultivate their independence, Sishun is a concubine and is not valued by the family, and they will not care about my affairs, and they will definitely be happy if they know that I can work under the general. ”

Zheng Peng nodded and said: "Okay, I'm not a rigid person, you will do things for me in the future, as long as you work hard, eat and drink spicy food." ”

If the two of them can feel the warmth of the family and be valued, where do they need to escape, Zheng Peng explained the origin of the two, it is not that he really doesn't want them, but just knocks them and makes them not think how well they are disguised.

"The little one is willing to follow the general and serve the general." An Lushan and An Sishun were overjoyed and hurriedly expressed their attitude.

Hearing Zheng Peng tell his origin just now, both of them were startled, for fear that Zheng Peng would not want him, so he couldn't think of the peak and turned around, so he hurriedly expressed his position.

After Zheng Peng motioned for the two of them to stand up, he said as he walked out, "Cui Er, these two people will be arranged by you." ”

An Sishun and An Lushan have not yet made a career, the two are no different from the dicks on the street, and Zheng Peng is a famous champion, the gap between the two sides is too big, it is more appropriate to throw it to Cui Er to deal with, anyway, Cui Er has been instructed by Zheng Peng early.

"Understood, uncle." Cui Di said respectfully.

After sending Zheng Peng out of the side hall, An Lushan said flatteringly: "Please also ask the housekeeper to take care of me." ”

As he spoke, An Lushan stuffed a piece of broken gold into Cui Shuang.

The county official is not as good as the current management, his future is in the hands of this housekeeper, and An Lushan is very interested in sending filial piety.

This trick is very good, when An Lushan was wandering outside, he used money to solve the problem many times, but he didn't expect to hit a wall here, Cui Er casually threw it back to An Lushan, and said expressionlessly: "Put it away, this is not a set here." ”

An Lushan saw that Cui Er's housekeeper didn't seem to be joking, nor did he seem to have little money, so he hurriedly took it back when he heard this: "The housekeeper is high-spirited, but it's a little vulgar, and I ask the housekeeper to bear with me." ”

"That is, can you be a housekeeper in the general's mansion, can you be bad?" An Sishun also presented a high hat with interest.

Cui Er didn't have much affection for these two people, and he didn't understand why his uncle took a fancy to these two villains, so he said directly: "Uncle means that you will experience it first, make achievements and then discuss, An Sishun, you will be able to take care of horses, and you will treat livestock, and take care of a pasture first; As for An Lushan, he is eloquent and clever, and he can help take care of a restaurant. ”
