093 Shame and courage

When Zheng Peng left, it was Ah Jun who carried the carriage.

I don't know why, the two in front of them still talked and laughed and toasted each other, but in the back, neither of them spoke, they both drank vigorously, maybe both of them were frustrated people in love, and they wanted to get drunk to relieve their sorrows, but as a result, the two were really drunk.

When he returned home, he scared the people a lot, this was the first time Zheng Peng was so drunk, everyone was busy with Zhang Luo, changing clothes and cooking hangover soup, tossing for a while, and then helped Zheng Peng to bed.

When he slept on the pillow, Zheng Peng's wine was relieved a little, mainly because the ancient wine was not high, Cui Xiyi took the best wine, the entrance was soft, and people were a little confused, but it didn't affect thinking, and the effect of the bowl of hangover soup made by Aunt Zheng was also good.

Not long after lying down, just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he felt the quilt move, and then a warm and soft body slowly approached him, Zheng Peng obviously felt that the person who climbed on his bed was a little nervous, his body was a little tight, and his breathing was a little heavy, and he was about to hug him, when he suddenly felt a thrill in his heart: No, Lu Shu has been taken away by Cui Yuan, this person is not Lu Shu.

Zheng Peng straightened up, turned his head and looked, and didn't know whether to be annoyed or laughed for a while: in the dim candlelight, I saw Xiaoyin wearing a dirty clothes, tired like a scared kitten, and the childish little face was red and white for a while, looking at himself a little timidly.

Seeing Zheng Peng glaring at him, Xiaoyin stammered a little and said, "Less... Master. ”

"How do you sleep here?"

"That's... The maid saw that the young master had drunk too much, so she came to take care of the young master, and by the way, she gave the young master a quilt. Xiaoyin obviously came with a good reason, and after the panic just now, she spoke much more fluently.

Zheng Peng said angrily: "Okay, Young Master Ben doesn't need to be in the bed, you are still young, go down first." ”

It is estimated that seeing that Lu Shu was not there, Xiaoyin wanted to take the opportunity to "get on top" and take the place of the girl in the room, so she took advantage of her drunkenness and secretly climbed into her bed, Zheng Peng was a little speechless, how old a child is it, it has not yet developed, why there are so many strange thoughts, I don't know if it is her own idea or the instructions of Zheng Fu and his wife.

Ancient women were a little precocious, brothels in the Tang Dynasty existed legally, and many people liked young girls, that is, Li Shimin, the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, married into the door when the eldest grandson queen was thirteen years old, Xiaoyin was still a primary school student in later generations, but he was already thinking about how to please the master.

It can only be said that in a special environment, people's minds are easily influenced.

Perhaps, for the slaves, this is one of the few ways they want to change their fate.

Zheng Peng's three views are quite correct, and he doesn't have that special habit.

Xiaoyin's expression darkened, and he got out of bed with some grievances, and then said faintly: "Young master, do you want someone else to make the bed for you?"

Don't you just think you're small, so change to a big one.

Isn't it natural for a subordinate to serve his master?

"No" Zheng Peng yawned, waved his hand and said, "There's no need for this, Young Master Ben is sleepy, stand down." ”

"Young master, that servant sleeps in the compartment, when the young master asks for someone, the maid can also wait for the young master early." Xiaoyin said tentatively.

"Whatever you want." Zheng Peng covered the quilt and went to sleep by himself.

After getting Zheng Peng's permission, Xiaoyin was so happy that she almost didn't laugh out loud: the young master said that he was young, and he didn't let other maids sleep in the bed, and agreed to sleep and serve in the small bed in the side room, which was the rhythm of promoting himself to a personal maid.

Could it be that the young master is waiting for him to grow up?

Zheng Peng didn't expect Xiaoyin to be so careful, he slept with his head covered, and slept until dawn the next day, without being called, he got up by himself.

"Xiaoyin, quickly bring the washing water."

"Zheng Fu, prepare the horse, in a while, Young Master Ben is going to Zhongdao, you drive."

"Ah Jun, you stay at home today and train those nurses well."

Zheng Peng not only got up early, but also changed his previous laziness and decadence, and commanded his subordinates to work energetically.

Life is not as good as it should be, if you suffer a little setback, you will collapse, then you are destined to be a loser in life, Zheng Peng also figured it out, and the period is sad and decadent, it is better to break and stand up, all say that the harder you work, the luckier, for Zheng Peng, the stronger you are, the more you can control your own destiny.

The next people saw that Zheng Peng had been a little decadent recently, and they were all a little worried, because their fate was closely related to Zheng Peng, and now seeing that Zheng Peng was in good spirits early in the morning, they were also infected by Zheng Peng's emotions.

Ah Jun unconsciously made a big salute and replied loudly: "Yes, young master." ”

The incident of the night before was a hurdle for Zheng Peng, and it was also a knot for Ah Jun, he had been blaming himself for not doing his duty, so that the young master who was so kind to his family was put on the neck with a knife, and now he was thinking about how to make up for it, thinking about how the incident of the night before would not happen again.

In the past two days, without Zheng Peng's orders, Ah Jun took the initiative to pick up the bow and arrow and practice the stone lock.

With the goal, Zheng Peng also became diligent, as soon as he was free, he ran to Zhongdao, often staying all day, with Zheng Peng's efforts, Zhongdao's braised meat business is thriving, and the new printing is also under Zheng Peng's spare no effort to make suggestions, the progress of development has been greatly accelerated, and everything is developing in a good direction.

Finally, in late February, Zheng Peng's efforts reaped a huge reward: after pork, braised meat developed new raw materials such as chicken, rabbit, and fish, and also developed several different flavors to further expand the market, and the new printing was also scheduled to be held on February 26.

In fact, it can be carried out a few days in advance, but Guo Ketang insisted on this day, in her words, this is an auspicious day specially chosen by her uncle and grandfather, Zheng Peng can only agree.

To Zheng Peng's surprise, Old Man Guo not only chose an auspicious day and an auspicious time, but also asked people to prepare incense offerings, and before the test, all people, including Zheng Peng and Hu San, the foreman in charge, had to wash their hands and burn incense and worship the gods.

Zheng Peng said with some puzzlement: "Uncle Guo, isn't it just an official trial print, can it be so grand?" ”

"You donkey child, you are lazy, this is called sincerity and spirit" Old man Guo said with a serious face: "If this method works, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the world's scholars, benefiting the country and the people, it must be the result of the blessing of the gods, stop talking, come and incense." ”

Zheng Peng only noticed that the old man Guo, who likes to wear coarse cloth on weekdays, changed into a navy blue robe at the moment, and shaved his face, this is a dress that only exists in the New Year's festival to worship the ancestors, and it can be seen that the old man Guo attaches great importance to it.

Can you not pay attention to it, the head of the Guo Mansion, Guo Hong, who will never appear in such a place full of "copper smell" on weekdays, honestly follows behind Old Man Guo today, and smiles at Zheng Peng from time to time, and even the craftsmen who are dressed a little tattered on weekdays also put on the new clothes distributed by Old Man Guo.

looks like the New Year's Festival, which makes Zheng Peng a little unaccustomed.

Under the "coercion" of Old Man Guo, Zheng Peng reluctantly followed and thanked the gods of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, I didn't invite monks and Taoist priests to do any rituals, otherwise Zheng Peng would really not be able to stand it.

Finally finished the ceremony, Zheng Peng, Guo Laotou, Guo Hong, Guo Ketang, foreman Hu San and a few craftsmen entered the heavily defended new printing development workshop together.

"That, Uncle Guo, look, is it time to start?" Zheng Peng looked at the craftsman who was at a loss, and then at the smiling old man Guo, and couldn't help asking.

Who knows what kind of ceremony to do before the start of work, ask him clearly first.

Old man Guo waved his hand and said happily: "Let's start, this is your territory, the old man is just a bystander, you just don't think we are there." ”

It's not time to be there, just did that ceremony, knelt a few times, slower or not upright enough to stare at and blow his beard, and now he said that when he doesn't exist, it's really okay.

After getting a positive answer, Zheng Peng nodded and said loudly: "What are you still doing, you are moving, now the first official printing is started, all of them are in good spirits, and your uncle will be rewarded." ”

A group of craftsmen answered, and then began to get busy, some wiped the frame, some brushed a layer of burnt liquid pine resin on it, some began to pick the mold of the poem, some prepared the ink used in printing, and everything began to proceed in an orderly manner......
