Chapter 237: The Three Great Kingdoms Stand in Line
Cheng Yanjin brought Li Hao to the front of the house, and threw Li Hao on the ground, Li Hao was hurt in the buttocks, and scolded in his mouth: "Old killer, next time I can say it in advance, I fell to death!" ”
Cheng Biting Jin was not angry, laughed, got off the horse and dragged Li Hao into the door, and shouted when he entered: "Someone!" Prepare wine and food, the poet-mad nephew is coming to visit the old man! Aha......"
Li Hao rolled his eyes when he heard this: Can we have a face, am I here to visit you, I was obviously held hostage by you.
Cheng bit Jin roared, the figure in the courtyard swayed, and began to be busy, Cheng Chumo ran out of nowhere with his two younger brothers, and when he saw Li Hao, he shouted excitedly: "Li Hao!" See you again at last! As he spoke, he came up and gave Li Hao a bear hug.
Li Hao felt as if he was being hugged by a bear, it was indeed a veritable bear hug, although he had a good relationship with Cheng Chumo, and his friends came, but because he was knocked on a bamboo pole by his Lao Tzu for 10,000 yuan, he was not in a beautiful mood, hated the house and Wuxia, and his attitude towards Cheng Chumo was also a little cold, and he drooped his eyelids and said: "Brother Cheng, let go, I'm about to be strangled." ”
Cheng Chumo may have been too excited, and he didn't let go, Cheng Biting Jin came up and slapped Cheng Chumo's head with a scraper, and slapped Cheng Chumo a little confused, Cheng Chumo let go of Li Hao, and looked at Cheng Biting Jin with a confused face: "Dad, what are you doing with me again?" ”
"What are you doing? Look at Li Hao! Cheng Yanjin glared at the bull's eye, and said angrily, "Look at how old you are, you have made great military achievements, with 4,000 people to defend the city against 70,000 troops, and now you are already the marquis of Lantian County, you look at you again, you know how to be busy with business and make money all day long, do you drill the eyes of money......
Li Hao and Cheng Chu were stunned when they heard this, Li Hao never thought that he could be a "child of someone else's family", and he was a little excited in his heart, but ...... How could Cheng Biting Jin be embarrassed to say that Cheng Chumo lost his money's eyes, he was covered in white hair, and said that others looked like goblins, three words, shameless.
"And the two of you!" Cheng Biting Jin's firepower quickly shifted, and pointed at Cheng Chubi and Cheng Chuliang and scolded, "Your eldest brother will at least make money, what about you, you have nothing to do all day long, follow a group of fox friends and dog friends around the streets and alleys, climb the little widow's bed, and peek at the Qinglou girl taking a bath, what is there to look at those goods......"
Li Hao was stunned again when he heard this, Cheng Chubi and Cheng Chuliang were talents, they did all these things, Cheng Yanjin was also a talent, and he actually shook out all these ugly things in front of him, he felt that Cheng Chubi and Cheng Chuliang's faces were so red that they seemed to be dripping blood.
"Tell me about other people's babies, why are they so good." Cheng Biting Jin still felt unfinished after scolding, and looked at Li Hao with a little envy, the baby of other people's families in his mouth naturally referred to Li Hao.
In normal times, Li Hao must have said with a cheap smile: "Continue to praise, I love to listen." But the three brothers of the Cheng family have a little friendship with him, and he feels very embarrassed now, so he can only look up at the sky, pretending to be none of my business, and muttering: "The weather is so good today, the clouds are so white, the sky is so blue, and there are birds, it's so beautiful, this situation and this scene, I can't help but chant a poem: Ah, the sky is blue, it's really blue!" The clouds are white, really white......"
Cheng Yanjin was very unhappy about Li Hao's disobedience to his behavior, and his eyebrows twitched, but he had just finished praising Li Hao and wanted to set an example for his three rabbit cubs...... Come with you, the three bunnies. ”
The three brothers of the Cheng family were so happy when they heard this, they immediately forgot all about the scolding just now, and happily pulled Li Hao and ran towards the living room, Li Hao was stunned, are the Cheng family all goldfish? Or...... Their skins have reached a terrible level?
The layout of the Cheng family's living room is different from before, those low cases are gone, but a large round table has been replaced, I think it is influenced by Taibai Building, I have to admit that some of the living habits brought by Li Hao have slowly been accepted by the Tang Dynasty.
Cheng Yanjin sat on the table, Li Hao on the left, and the three brothers of the Cheng family on the right, as soon as they took their seats, the wine and food were on the table, the speed was so fast that Li Hao was shocked, he seriously doubted that the chef of the Cheng family was standing by the pot with various ingredients at any time and waiting, as long as Cheng Yanjin gave an order, he immediately got out of the pot to cook, just like the feeling of waiting for the starting gun at the starting point before the start of the 100-meter race.
The dishes are very rich, but Li Hao doesn't like it very much, it's all meat, all kinds of meat, but there are many more dishes made of pork than before, and it seems that pork is becoming more and more popular in Datang.
Li Hao saw a pot of braised beef, his eyebrows twitched, and he squeezed out a smile and asked, "Uncle Cheng, do you have cow feet in your house again?" ”
In ancient times, cattle were not allowed to be killed, because cattle were the guarantee of farming, unless the cattle were injured or sick and lost the ability to cultivate land, they could apply to the government to slaughter the injured and sick cattle, but Cheng Biting Jin's family almost every time there was beef in hospitality, as long as the guests asked, Cheng Biting Jin would stare at each time and say: "What's the matter, my cow has a broken foot, can't it be killed?" As soon as these words came out, who would dare to be more serious with this old killer.
Cheng Biting Jin grinned: "It's still the virtuous nephew who knows the old man best, ahahaha......" The three brothers of the Cheng family on the side covered their faces one after another, and it can be seen that they are still a little ashamed.
The wine is made by spirits immortals, Cheng Chumo poured a bowl for Li Hao, and then took the wine bowl to Li Hao: "Poetry madness, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'll give you a glass first!" Li Hao's face suddenly turned green, people use cups to drink, and the Cheng family uses bowls.
As soon as he saw Li Hao's bitter face, Cheng Yanjin thought of Li Hao's tricks of drinking, glared and said loudly: "Virtuous nephew, the wine bowl is not allowed to shake, shake out a drop and pay a thousand yuan!" ”
Li Hao's scalp suddenly became numb, a drop of a thousand times, Lao Tzu Huang can shake all his net worth at one time, he picked up the wine bowl and was just about to drink, Cheng Yanjin suddenly said: "Don't sprinkle your clothes, if your clothes get wet, you can go back with your bare buttocks." ”
Li Hao's eyebrows trembled when he heard this, he really wanted to slam the wine bowl on the table, and then rolled up his arms and asked, "Old killer, do you want to fight!" ”
However, he knew that he would die a miserable death in this way, so he could only close his eyes and send the wine to his mouth, but Cheng Chu understood him silently, and said with a smile: "Just take a sip, don't drink too hard." ”
Li Hao glanced at Cheng Chumo gratefully, picked up the wine bowl and drank a little, Cheng Yanjin looked very unhappy, rolled his eyes and said: "Drinking wine is like a girl, and I am not happy." ”
Li Hao was so angry when he heard this, and secretly shouted in his heart: "You can drink very well, right, change Ming'er Lao Tzu to bring more than 70 degrees of wine, and drink you to death!" ”
After three rounds of drinking, Li Hao already felt that his head was dizzy, but Cheng Yanjin and his three sons were still like no one, the gap between the two sides was a bit big, Cheng Yanjin also saw that Li Hao's eyelids were drooping, as if he was drunk, waved his hand at the three sons, and said, "You three step back first, I have something to say to the poet." ”
The three brothers of the Cheng family were puzzled when they heard this, what else did they have to say behind their backs, they were father and son! Although the three of them were very unhappy, they still withdrew, and only Li Hao and Cheng Yanjin were left in the living room.
As soon as Li Hao saw this battle, he knew that Cheng Yanjin had something important to say, and his mind instantly cleared up a little, and he asked with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, what important words do you have to say that you don't want your son to listen to?" Could it be that you have made the belly of a little widow in the city bigger? ”
Cheng Yanjin was angry and funny when he heard this, and pointed at him angrily, saying, "Stinky boy, if you talk nonsense like this again, believe it or not, I will whip you." ”
Li Hao raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I don't talk nonsense, Uncle Cheng, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Cheng Yanjin's face suddenly darkened, and he was even a little serious, and asked: "Poetry madness, you said that on the way to Tingzhou, you were intercepted and killed by the Gaochang army, and the enemy general confessed, saying that it was the spy Feige who was lurking in Chang'an and sent a message to Lu Wentai, saying that you were ordered to go to Tingzhou to recruit troops and herd horses, and prepare to attack Gaochang?" ”
Li Hao nodded: "Yes, I have already said it just now, this is how the general confessed at that time." ”
Cheng bit Jin's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "This is someone who wants to get rid of you by Gao Chang's hand." ”
"I know." Li Hao nodded, took a chopstick and braised pork to eat, looking very relaxed.
Seeing that he was so calm, Cheng Yanjin grinned: "You seem to already know who the mastermind behind the scenes is." ”
"Hmm." Li Hao nodded, "But I can't say it, I can't move him for the time being." ”
Cheng Yanjin frowned when he heard this, and immediately thought of a person, his face showed shock, and he shook his head in disbelief: "How is this possible, he is a ...... of a country"
"Uncle Cheng said cautiously." Li Hao suddenly interrupted him, and said lightly, "It's good to know about this matter, and it's inconvenient to say it." ”
"You're a good kid, and you're doing it well." Cheng Yanjin smiled and nodded, obviously very satisfied with Li Hao, and said, "But don't worry, in my family, there will be no walls and ears." ”
Li Hao nodded: "I naturally know Uncle Cheng's ability, but I am cautious." ”
"That's fine." Cheng Yanjin smacked his lips and sighed leisurely, "I didn't expect him to hate you so much, now that you're back, you have to be more careful, and you have to put a little bit of it everywhere." ”
Li Hao smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, my house is now defended like an iron bucket, not a single fly can fly in, unless I send an army of thousands of people, I don't want someone to break into my door half a step." ”
"That's good." Cheng Yanjin nodded again and again, "It's just ...... If he sits in that position, you will only be afraid that you will not be able to escape. ”
Li Hao indifferently took a sip of the wine bowl and said, "Uncle Cheng, don't worry, I said, I won't let him sit in that position, uncle, you know me, I have always been cautious, and I am very afraid of death, and I will not joke with my life." ”
"And who are you going to support?" Cheng Yanjin lowered his voice and asked, "King Wei or King Wu?" ”
Li Hao raised his eyebrows, as if jokingly saying, "Actually, I think King Jin is good." ”
"Don't laugh!" Cheng Biting Jin glared and said, "I'm down to business!" In his opinion, it was a joke to support Li Zhi, the king of Jin, to ascend to the throne.
Li Hao smacked his lips helplessly: "I haven't decided yet, I can only observe their character first." ”
Looking at Li Hao, who was only twenty years old, boasting in front of him, talking about supporting the prince to seize the throne, Cheng Yanjin didn't think this picture was ridiculous, but believed in Li Hao very much, he didn't know why, he always felt that Li Hao was very special, even if Li Hao would be crowned a marquis or even a king in the future, he would not be surprised at all, maybe because Li Hao's performance in Tingzhou shocked him too much, he had fought a war, so he was very clear about this aspect, what is the concept of 4,000 to 70,000, it is unimaginable, but Li Hao did it, this is a miracle, People who can create miracles are not destined to be the things in the pool.
Cheng Yanjin was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and said: "Poetry madness, no matter who you support in the future, I will stand by you." ”
Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, Cheng Biting Jin is betting all his net worth on himself, this kind of trust has exceeded a certain boundary, Li Hao got up solemnly, bowed his hand and bowed: "Thank you Uncle Cheng for trusting me so much, the poet will not disappoint you." ”
Cheng Yanjin smiled: "In addition to me, there are also the Duke of Yiguo and the Duke of Britain. ”
