Chapter 72: Xiao Ergongzi
Cangzhou Prefecture is located in Qingchi, adjacent to the north of the floating water, and it is a few hours' walk away from the Yongji Canal.
"By the way, the second son of Lanling County, I want to see you."
"Oh?"
Zhang De was stunned, the Duke of Lanling County was Xiao Jing, that is, the elder brother of Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song. What do children look like, Zhang Dezhen has never seen it. Originally, when he was in Chang'an, Xiao Yu wanted to introduce him, but later because Xiao Yu quit the prime minister, he didn't stop.
"Why is the son of the public family of Lanling County in Qingchi County?"
"In the year of the fall of the Turks, His Majesty reprimanded the Duke of Song, but he gave a small reward to the nephew of the Duke of Song."
Understood, it is estimated that the reward is here, so it is separated.
"This counts as a second room?"
"Hmm."
Xue Dading nodded, "The county prince of Lanling is also approveful. β
Generally, parents are not separated, but if the emperor rewards them, they will naturally open a mansion. Spread out and carry forward. For example, Qinghe Cui's has six rooms in Xuzhou alone, and all six rooms are talented. In case of a burp, as long as there is one person in each room, you can turn the book.
Only in terms of elites, almost all of the officials who can be officials above the sixth rank in the court can be competent. Whether it is local administration or administration, the family's set is very slippery.
"I don't know what the second son of Xiao wants to see me do?"
"It's about building a ship."
In fact, Xue Dading couldn't be sure, but he still said to Zhang De, "The last generation of the Duke of Lanling County was divided into north and south, some voted for Nan Chen, and some belonged to the former Sui. Former Sui Ping Chen, a warship that went straight down the river. All from the Western Liang Water Army. The old man had traveled when he was a teenager and knew that the Shaw family had a lot of ways to build boats. β
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment and said. At the port of Furong City, it seems that the flat sand boat was really bought from the land of Xiangfan. Of course, I also made it myself, and the available materials are a bit excessive, not as many as Xiangfan craftsmen.
"Is that so?"
"The family that can survive has its own destiny."
The Xiao family was originally a royal family, and the relationship between the Southern Liang and the Southern Chen Qiansui was very complicated. Empress Xiao is a banner of the former Sui Yu. Whether Empress Xiao wants it or not, her existence is for the former Sui ministers. It is also a comfort.
Therefore, Xiao's position in the Tang Dynasty is very delicate. Li Dong is definitely a conscience for the Xiao family. Last year, because of the financial skyrocket. The queen gave Li Dong Zhang Luo a draft again. Get some beautiful women to enter the palace to serve the emperor. Among them is the Xiao girl.
The queen heard that the Xiao family had a little lady who was "young and trained in etiquette", and she was immediately interested, and the little lady of the Xiao family was definitely born in the "Ding family", so she specially sent Shi Dazhong, who had been retired for a long time, to investigate.
Then Shi Dazhong gave thirty-two likes, if it weren't for the fact that the little lady of the Xiao family was too young to be twelve years old, I was afraid that she would have been hugged to the palace to give the emperor a good look.
"Hedong Xue family, I don't know what family law is?"
Lao Zhang suddenly smiled and made a joke about Xue Dading.
Xue Thorn Shi stroked his beard and said proudly: "Pifu is angry. Blood splattered in five steps. β
"This is not the way to prosperity."
"Among the hosts, take the head of the enemy."
Lao Xue became more and more proud.
Okay. You are a assassin who is engaged in civilian work, and as a result, you are still shouting and shouting and killing at your age, which is too unscientific.
But Zhang De came back to his senses, damn it, it seems that the Xue clan in Hedong is full of monsters. The overlord of Western Qin is the Xue family in Hedong, Li Yuan, who almost did it back then, called his father, and the eight road managers were all hanged and beaten, including Liu Hongji. And now Xue Li, who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles with Zhang Daxiang every day, 1,500 years later, his name Xue Rengui alone will be able to support a large number of literary and art workers.
"I heard that the young man in Chang'an is unmatched, but the old man traveled the world back then, and he also sang with a sword."
Saying that, Xue Dading became more and more proud, "When I passed through Luoyang, a brigade commander under Wang Shichong robbed the army, and the old man quickly rode a sword and took his head. β
Ouch, you said you didn't study well back then, what are you running around?
Then Lao Zhang suddenly remembered that Uncle Zhang seemed to have worked with Wang Shichong back then, and had been the governor of Weizhou, but unfortunately Wang Shichong did not pay his salary, and Li Dong was very sincere, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he went to the Qin Palace.
Alas, fortunately, Uncle Zhang didn't meet Xue Tingshi.
After noon, after a short rest, Xue Dading took Zhang De and walked through the snow to a mansion in the east of Qingchi City. Outside the gate of the house, there are more than a dozen bolted horse piles, but looking at those bolted horse piles, the corners of the old mouth twitched: the groove, the bolted horse piles made of cement!
It's durable, better than wood.
When the assassin came, the door of the house was naturally wide open, and the master greeted him personally.
"Hebei jade unicorn can come to the cold house, fortunately, fortunately, very ......"
The age of Xiao Ergongzi...... It's a bit big.
Look, it's bigger than Uncle Zhang, this is forty.
Xiao Jing's second son is called Xiao Keng, with a slender figure, beautiful hair, and a white jade on his head, which is by no means a thing from the Central Plains, but a foreign product imported from Yangguan.
"Xiao Gong has won the award, he is ashamed, and he is ashamed to be a ......"
After a bit of modesty, they entered the main hall.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I heard a silver bell-like laughter from the side hall: "What a jade unicorn, it is actually a wheat-colored little Langjun." β
"Shhh
"Let's see."
Lao Zhang's hearing is good, and he said in his heart that the bandit name of Jade Qilin is not what Lao Tzu wants. I don't know how it got like this.
After a glance, I saw two heads hiding behind the bead curtain. Among them, there is a small head, as if it is carved out of jade seeds, which is in response to the saying of "pink carved jade". After only seeing one side, Zhang De secretly said in his heart: I only said that these eyes can speak, and I am afraid that even my cousin can't compare.
It's not the kind of earth-shattering gorgeousness, to put it clichΓ©, it all depends on temperament.
What a girl feels like in the literature department?
And it's stronger than the girl in the literature department.,It feels like it's an iceberg on the outside and a complex temperament in the heart.γ
, wouldn't this girl be what the queen wants to stuff for the emperor? There is no one else with this benefit.
Lao Zhang suddenly envied Li Donglai, the leader of the family who won in life. The wife is virtuous and wise, so I won't talk about it. will also help her husband find a mistress, it's really ...... Envy also.
The peach blossoms are dotted, and the eyebrows are a little red. The white neck is hung with colorful jewels, even hiding behind the bead curtain, which also makes people feel glorious.
Zhang De's expression was unmoved, but he was happy in his heart: this little lady is really cute, Li Eryi is old, and she still has such an oral mouth.
was envious, Xiao Keng smiled and said, "Da Lang is here in Hebei." It's really a winter thunderstorm, and my friends in the past know that my uncle has a lot of friendship with Zhang. insisted on trusting me and being friendly with Da Lang. β
Your friends don't look like good friends.
What does it mean to be kind and friendly?
"Gong Xiao is polite, I'm just a prodigal son in Jiangnan. Steep in the beginning. It is not enough to increase the fame of laughter. β
"Da Lang is humble, and the result is just like the rumors."
Xiao Keng nodded again and again, stroking his beard happily. Lao Zhang sighed in his heart: Xiao Rui is actually his cousin, this age gap, the generation gap must be very deep.
After being modest for a while, Xiao Keng made people fry the tongue of the green bird, and said with envy: "I can't live in Chang'an for a long time." If you want to drink this new bird's tongue, it really takes a lot of energy. β
Lao Zhang smiled: "Xiao Gong is a good eater." I still have a few hundred catties with me, just give it to Xiao Gong. β
"How does this make, too precious, too precious......"
However, Xiao Keng's eyes made Lao Zhang Zhengse say: "Xiao Gong is rejecting me thousands of miles away?" β
"Hey, Da Lang is too worried. It's just that this new sparrow tongue is really expensive, even Uncle Dongdu, and he can't eat it a few times. He sighed, "When I arrived in Hebei Province, it was really priceless." It's the Cui family, and I also asked how many times I asked for it. This is still thanks to my uncle's Fumeng, so I can get some from the East Palace. β
Xiao Yu is the prince's family order, and there will definitely be no shortage of tea. The East Palace also mastered a large warehouse for fried green sparrow tongues, and the tea warehouse supervisor alone had all the dead eunuchs and eunuchs exiled to Lingnan because of the fact that someone was carrying private goods. However, I can't hold it at all, this thing is much more scientific than the ginger pepper fried tea.
"Xiao Gong can rest assured that this new sparrow tongue is the unique skill of the Zhang Southern Sect. In the Jiangnan teahouse, not to mention the piles up, it is still okay for Xiao Gong **** to taste. β
On the side, Xue Dading's face trembled, and he said in his heart that the old man even took off his briefs in order to be a good assassin, why didn't you even give some tea? This Xiao Ergongzi was introduced to you by the old man, but as soon as you meet, you are more enthusiastic than the adulterer's ****, and a few hundred catties of tea will be sent? Mother's ......
Cangzhou Thorn Shixin said that if he was young, he must use the sword in his hand to teach Zhang Caozhi to be a man.
"What?! This new tea...... This tea ...... Was...... It's ......"
Xiao Keng was shocked, his eyes suddenly became blazing, and he secretly thought in his heart: The second woman went to the palace to serve the emperor, it is better to marry this Zhang Dalang, I heard that he has a good way of managing money, there are countless heirlooms, and even the prince candy was given by him to His Royal Highness the Prince, presumably Shi Chong is alive, and he can't fight with him to get rich.
Song Guogong didn't talk to his nephew about Lao Zhang's marriage, and not many people in Hebei Province knew about it. Most of the people who know that Zhang De has decided that Xu Xiaode's daughter Xu Hui is his wife are in Chang'an, and these people rarely go to Hebei Road. Besides, when I went to Hebei Province, it was impossible to tell others who Zhang Caozhi's wife was......
At the moment, what Xiao Keng is thinking about is not to help friends build relationships and strive for Boss Zhang to invest in poverty alleviation in poor counties. Instead, I thought, such a Kaizi, if he doesn't come back to be a son-in-law, it's simply intolerable.
Xiao Ergongzi is still silently obscene, if there is a relationship with Zhang Dalang's wealth, he Xiao Ergongzi, as the bloodline of the second house of Lanling County, will definitely be able to stand firm in Qingchi County and carry it forward, and in the future, he will keep pace with Dafang, maybe after two generations, he will be more awesome than Dafang?
So, after the tea under his hands, Xiao Keng didn't even mention having a meal together or anything. Lao Zhang is also confused, damn this Xiao Ergongzi asked Lao Tzu to come over to drink tea and brag? What's the matter? Lao Tzu still wants to do some boatmen.
"Cough, Brother Xiao, this time, there is still something I want to inquire."
"Oh? I don't know what's going on? But it doesn't hurt to say it, Da Lang just said that I know everything is endless. β
Lao Zhang is also an egg pain: This thing is crazy? So passionate about Lao Tzu?
"This ...... De has always liked to build, and I heard that Xiao's boat building method is unique, so I want to ask for advice......" Zhang De was stunned when he saw Xiao Keng's expression, and then hurriedly said, "If it involves secrets, I should be presumptuous." β
"Nope! No, no, no, no presumptuous, no confidentiality! β
Xiao Keng hurriedly waved his hand, then turned a thought in his heart, and said with a smile: "My second room is a big worker, mostly in the West Chamber, and there are also former Sui generals who were born as prisoners, if Da Lang has a heart, why don't you go and see for yourself?" β
"Oh? Really? β
Lao Zhang is interested, if he can see the hot model of the ship, it would be good. My own structural mechanics is still good, but even if it is a wooden ship, it is also a system engineering.
He wanted to get a galleon out in one go, put 300 cannons on it, and then bombard Li Dong's bastard. It's a pity that there are few skilled workers, and now there is a shortage of shipwrights for sand boats, not to mention Song Mingfu ships and even galleons.
"Yes, if Da Lang is interested, he will go by himself, and I will chat with Thorn Shi for a while."
"Ming Gong, I ......"
"Don't worry about the old man, just go back and give the old man a few hundred pounds of tongue."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Lao Zhang was carrying a pencil and a notebook in his arms, and the servant led him to the West Chamber, and sure enough, he saw many hot boats, but they were all square-headed flat sand boats, and there was nothing eye-catching.
"Why is the Xiao family's ship less material than that of Furong City?"
Zhang Dezheng was thinking about it, but he heard a burst of brisk footsteps, turned his head to look, but saw two ladies, one big and one small, staring at Zhang Caozhi with wide eyes, looking at Zhang Caozhi with a stunned expression.
"Ah, why is that jade unicorn here!"
it, that one......
The old face was dark, and he said in his heart, girl, you have a problem with this measure word.
Just as he was about to educate the two little ladies well, the young one, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old lady with a white neck and a colorful jewel, turned red, turned around and ran away.
The older one stuck out his tongue at Zhang De, and also turned around and shouted: "Yan Niang, don't go so fast, be careful of falling." β
Just between breaths, there was no shadow of the two little ladies running.
Zhang De was stunned for a while: What does this mean? Avoid arousing suspicion?
was interrupted by the two little ladies, Zhang De also felt bored, and saw that there were no bright spots, so he simply prepared to turn around. was about to leave, but saw that where the two little ladies were standing, a brocade shoe fell, and on the steps there was a falling cherry blossom palace silk, with pink and white tassels on the head, and the round jade buckle color was like cherry blossoms, which was really good-looking.
Picked up Gong Xuan, Lao Zhang Xin said that he would return it to others, and then picked up the brocade shoes, looked at the size, and suddenly felt that it was novel, there were people with such delicate feet.
"I've never seen this style, no one in the north wears it like this, and Jiangnan is not so pompous. It is estimated that it is a women's shoe unique to Shaw's. β
Zhang Deqi admired, this ancestor has been an emperor in the end, and the dress is also unique.
However, Lao Zhang, as an engineering dog, did something that even he felt perverted when he was full of emotion.
In the horrified eyes of the two little ladies who came back to look for the shoes, Zhang De's nose came to the brocade shoes and sniffed, like a dog...... (To be continued.) )
PS: I have a cold, and I have a little low-grade fever, which is not good for a person with a child.
