Datang New Giants

Chapter 160 Uncle Fang Cheng Yaojin

In the end, Cheng Yaojin kicked the snowman that the three brothers of the Cheng family had finally piled up.

Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi didn't say anything, they were just piled up for fun, but Cheng Chuliang was a little depressed, the three brothers piled together, and he was the only one who was beaten, it was too wronged, besides, it was the first time to be a female snowman, and he did a good job, and he wanted to He wanted to show off in front of Da Changjin's brothers, only the old Dalu Ting saw it, and the other brothers hadn't seen it yet.

As soon as she mentioned the snowman, seeing her father's eyes widen again, Cheng Chuliang ran away in fright.

I don't know why, Aye suddenly became so angry, and he didn't show mercy, Cheng Chuliang really didn't dare to make Aye angry again.

After the little incident, Lu Ting still had to cook, and cooked a few well-done dishes, and ate them with Cheng Yaojin and his father and son.

Mrs. Cheng Sun was still lying on the couch in the backyard and could not attend. Lu Ting heard Cheng Chubi say while cooking, that Mrs. Cheng's condition worsened, and she vomited blood the day before yesterday.

Lu Ting is not proficient in medical skills, so he is really powerless.

The Cheng family's four fathers and sons liked the dishes Lu Ting cooked very much. The dishes on the table were almost cleared with chopsticks.

After drinking and eating, Cheng Yaojin said jokingly while picking his teeth, "Nephew, you had a great time last night, even the prince praised you very much."

The Queqiao Seize the Lamp event is very well-known in Chang'an, attracting a large number of talented people to participate every year. It is definitely not easy to win the bull head lamp. Cheng Yaojin originally thought that Lu Ting would be able to cook and manage business, which is already very impressive Unexpectedly, he turned around without making a sound, and even took off the bull head lamp.

Lu Ting's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Uncle Cheng won the prize, it's just a coincidence, brother Chu Liang has also passed the third level."

Even Cheng Yaojin said that Li Er was satisfied, which meant that Li Er agreed with his performance, and Lu Ting felt relieved when he heard it.

As long as the unregistered disciples are converted into official disciples, he can hold his golden thighs tightly, and the glory and wealth will not be far away from him.

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said: "What is the third level? Even if you reach the sixth level, you will lose if you don't get the bull head lamp. Nephew, you performed really well this time. By the way, that little wave hoof of Wanhuayuan Yimeng , enough flavor."

How can the elders talk to the younger generation about such things, Lu Ting was taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked: "Uncle Cheng has friendship with Miss Yimeng?"

If it were someone else, he would definitely discuss the artistic conception of the poem with his younger generation. Cheng Mowang would be fine, he would ask Xiaolang if his hooves are good enough, and discuss "intercourse". But when he said that in front of his three sons, and the younger one still had a runny nose, wouldn't he be afraid to teach his son bad?
"Long hoof? Is it delicious?" Cheng Chubi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately yelled, "Aye, I want to eat squid, I want to eat squid."

Cheng Yaojinhu said with a stern face: "When adults talk, children don't interrupt, or you will be punished by missing a hundred characters."

As soon as he heard that he would be punished for copying, Cheng Chubi didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately covered his mouth with his little hand.

Frightening the youngest son, Cheng Yaojin turned his head and said to the two older sons: "You two bastards, remember to clean yourselves and avoid going to those messy places. Do you still remember what our Cheng family's family motto is. "

Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang said in unison: "Marry a woman with five surnames and wear a purple robe."

"Very good, I haven't forgotten, you guys are sensible." Cheng Yaojin nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing Lu Ting's surprised eyes, Cheng Yaojin smiled and said with some pride: "Nephew, this is my new family motto, what do you think?"

Lu Ting quickly said: "Not bad, not bad, simple and straightforward."

Ordinary people's family precepts are mostly related to benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, or blood ties. Cheng Mowang's style is simple and rude. Needless to say, marrying women with five surnames is the most direct and true wish of the entire Tang Dynasty men, including the Li clan. Purple is expensive, and purple official uniforms can only be worn by officials of the third rank or above.

To put it bluntly, it is just one sentence: marry a good wife and become a high official.

Lu Ting remembered a joke. When he was graduating from university, his tutor asked a boy what he pursued after graduation. The boy said he pursued beauty and money, but he was called vulgar; praise.

Cheng Yaojin laughed, patted Lu Ting on the shoulder, and said grinningly: "There are pretty maidservants in the house, the old man is too lazy to go to those places, and it has nothing to do with that Yimeng, nephew, please don't talk nonsense to others. If my good deed is ruined, don't blame your Uncle Cheng for turning his face and denying anyone."

"How can it be, my nephew has always been very secretive, please rest assured Uncle Cheng." Lu Ting promised on the spot.

Cheng Yaojin is a jerk, but it is rare to hear that he hangs around the brothel flower alley. Lu Ting knows that Cheng Mowang has always wanted to marry a woman with five surnames, and knows that he is not welcome. Bonus points.

It's just that the phrase "Don't talk nonsense to people" seems to mean something.

"Aye, I will wait for my mother to drink medicine." Cheng Chumo asked when he saw that the time was almost up.

"Go ahead, take the two younger brothers with you, and let your mother drink the medicine." Cheng Yaojin nodded, and asked Cheng Chumo to bring the two younger brothers.

For his wife, Cheng Yaojin is still very affectionate. When he went out to work hard, his wife was alone at home to serve his mother and take care of his son. Cheng Yaojin, a filial son, naturally agreed.

After the three brothers Cheng Chumo left, the lobby became very quiet. Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and said casually, "Nephew, you are not too young now. It's time to start a family. Do you have any favorites?" Girl, if there is, Uncle Cheng will come to your door to propose marriage for you."

"My nephew's time in Chang'an is too short, he has been busy doing things, and he hasn't met a suitable woman yet."

Before Cheng Mowang could speak, Lu Ting rushed to say: "The husband's career is the most important thing. There is no rush to start a family. My nephew will think about it in a few years."

In the past, Cheng Mowang said that he would introduce a niece to him, but Lu Ting was afraid that he would mess up the relationship, so he hurriedly told him about his career.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Lu Ting thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Well said, a man should put his career first. By the way, Xiaweitang is almost stable now. What are your plans for the next step?"

Little bastard, you are still playing tricks on my old Cheng, saying that you are not in a hurry, Zheng Yuanxuan's precious daughter is about to be coaxed by you, and I don't know what to do, I won't wait until the bead tire is darkened and the raw rice is cooked. Well, this is a good idea. That old guy Zheng Yuanxuan can't deal with him. He doesn't even pay attention to the Li clan, let alone Lu Ting, a son of the Han family who came from a poor family.

What Cheng Yaojin admired was that Lu Ting usually said that he had little knowledge, and asked him to compose poems, but he said he couldn't do it. The eldest grandson invited him to drink flowers and wine, and he also said that he was not interested. Good boy, he said he was not interested. , Turning around, picking up the bull head lamp and sleeping in the oiran, this matter has spread all over Chang'an today, and Zheng Yuanxuan's precious daughter must have heard of it, but at noon, the little maid named Hongling was still with Lu Ting Go to Xiaweitang to pack cage rice.

After sleeping in the oiran, he can still coax the daughter of the Zheng family not to be angry, and she can still look at the food in the pot while eating what is in the bowl. The brat has a way of coaxing girls.

Lu Ting chose to hide it, but Cheng Yaojin didn't tell the truth, and offered to be an iceman, hoping to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Zheng Yuanxuan, so that he could be entrusted to be an iceman and fulfill his dream of marrying a woman with five surnames. Unexpectedly, Lu Ting I didn't even give myself this chance.

"Let's take another look at Xiaweitang. If it can do well after the Lantern Festival, the next step is to expand the scale and open branches, and strive to make Wuyitang self-sufficient, and don't need to reach out to the Qin Palace." Lu Ting said confidently .

The business of Xiaweitang is good, but it has not yet experienced the real test. Driven by the Shangyuan Festival, the business in Chang'an City has been very good these days. When the Shangyuan Festival is over and Chang'an City returns to calm, then will be When I saw the real chapter.

The reason why Lu Ting told Cheng Yaojin these things was very simple, Cheng Yaojin was Li Er's confidant, and what he said would definitely be passed on to Li Er through Cheng Yaojin's mouth.

Xia Weitang can only say that he did a good job, but the results cannot be calculated, and it is not easy for Lu Ting to go to Li Er to ask for credit, lest he be said to be too frivolous and impatient.

"Think twice before acting, that's right." Cheng Yaojin said with some dissatisfaction, "Nephew, what about yourself?"

Cheng Yaojin was kind to him, and Lu Ting didn't hide anything from him: "Returning to Uncle Cheng, my nephew got a windfall last night and wants to buy a house first."

Xiaoqiao is a free maid, so I can save the one thousand strings. I just arrived in Chang'an not long ago, and the environment is not familiar enough. Now the main task is to run the Wuyitang. If you keep the one thousand guan lottery in your hand, you won't have babies, so it's better to spend it.

Buying a house is a good choice.

Cheng Yaojin pondered for a while, and quickly asked: "What kind of house do you want to buy?"

"Quiet amidst the noise, it's better to have a bigger house, but you don't have much money, so it's fine if it's far away." Lu Ting thought for a while and said quickly.

"Oh, did you find it?"

"Not yet, I'm planning to go to the dental clinic tomorrow to ask someone." Lu Ting said honestly.

The highest level of dental trade appeared in the Han Dynasty. The intermediary merchants in the market in the Han Dynasty were called "驵会" (or "侩"). After years of development, the intermediary merchants obtained the monopoly power granted by the government, thus getting the name "Yagui".

Buying and selling houses in ancient times was very troublesome. In addition to the consent of the owner, relatives, friends and neighbors also had to be agreed. Lu Ting didn't have time to implement them one by one, so he asked the dental firm to do these things, although he had to pay a certain commission.

Cheng Yaojin pondered for a while, and asked, "Housekeeper."

"Your Majesty, this old slave is here." The housekeeper Cheng Dalian hurriedly stepped forward to wait for orders.

"Have you finished dealing with the houses that were released?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

Cheng Da hesitated and said, "Lang Jun, this."

"Come on, Lu Ting is not an outsider."

Cheng Da responded, and said respectfully: "If you come back to Mr. Lang, two of the six houses for sale in Fangya have been sold, and the remaining four have not yet been sold."

"Very good." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said, "Cheng Da, you can go around with Mr. Lu tomorrow. By the way, there are a few places that haven't been released. Take him to have a look."

Lu Ting quickly said: "Uncle Cheng, this is not appropriate."

A few places here, a few places there, in Chang'an, where many people find it hard to find a house, I didn't expect Cheng Mowang to have many sets, and he can be called the Tang version of "House Uncle".

No matter how much money there is, it is someone else's. Now I owe Cheng Demon King a lot of favors. It is the most difficult to repay favors these days. I really don't know how to repay them. Lu Ting feels that he is absolutely capable of relocating jobs in Changchun. It is only a matter of time, and there is no need Receive such a great gift.

Speaking of it, Cheng Yaojin is really a winner in life, he can stand in the right position every time:

It was the first time to take refuge in Li Mi, and he was reused and rewarded a lot;
Li Mi was defeated and captured, so he took refuge in Wang Shichong, and was immediately appointed as a general, and treated him very favorably;
Before the battle, he left Wang Shichong, defected to the Tang army, followed Li Er, and Li Er named him the third left army;
Since then, Cheng Yaojin defeated Song Jingang, Dou Jiande, and Wang Shichong successively, and led the commander of the horse army on the left. Cheng Yaojin has transformed himself into Su Guogong by virtue of his military achievements.

Every time he changed hands, he would receive preferential treatment and generous rewards. It was also the easiest way to accumulate military exploits and wealth in wars. Cheng Yaojin fought for many years and captured countless things. Naturally, his family was extremely rich.

Cheng Yaojin knew that he was not good at management, so under the persuasion of the housekeeper, he bought a lot of properties and owned many properties in Chang'an, Luozhou, and Zhengzhou.

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said: "Don't think too much, someone in Luozhou wants to transfer the farm. The price and location are good, so they sell a few houses to raise money. It just so happens that you want to buy a house, so you don't need a cheap dental dealer. It’s not for nothing, just for the sake of calling you Uncle Cheng, at most I’ll spare a few bits and pieces.”

I have told Lu Ting several times that I can find myself when I have difficulties, but Lu Ting has never said anything. He is "under house arrest" in Cheng's mansion, and he will move out as soon as he is confirmed. He is unwilling to take any advantage. , Knowing that Lu Ting would not accept this great gift, he deliberately let go of "ruthless words".

Of course, if Lu Ting is really willing to accept, Cheng Yaojin will not be stingy.

There is one sentence that Cheng Yaojin didn’t say, the struggle between the prince’s mansion and Qin Wang’s mansion became more and more fierce, after Cheng Yaojin refused the prince’s recruitment, he was suppressed more and more, he couldn’t put his eggs in one basket, while he was in Chang’an, Look for opportunities to transfer some of your property.

Having said all this, Lu Ting quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you Uncle Cheng, my nephew will not be so disrespectful."

"Okay, we're all on our own, so these gifts will be waived." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said, "Thank you so much for helping me look after my dick. He likes to be with you. Your words are better than mine, Aye. Words are more useful."

Lu Ting is talented, quick-witted, and many people think he is just a lucky kid from the Han family. Cheng Yaojin knows that this humble Han family child has become the prince's registered disciple without making a fuss. As an official disciple, that is the only disciple of the prince. If he really becomes a disciple, the weight is more important than the prince's confidant. If the prince ascends to the great treasure, he will become the emperor's disciple.

In addition to being the prince's registered disciple, Lu Ting also has a hot fight with the daughter of the Zheng family. I heard that the daughter of the Zheng family is very loved by the family at home. Zheng Yuanxuan is even more obedient to this precious daughter. With one mind, the boy has a great chance.

In the past, it might be hard to say. After Lu Tingqueqiao won the lamp, he became famous overnight. Some people said that he was the number one talent of the younger generation. Besides, he was not bad in appearance, talented and good-looking. Could the daughter of the Zheng family not fall in love with him?

If Lu Ting became the son-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang and established a good relationship with Lu Ting, the chances of the old Cheng family marrying a woman with five surnames would be greatly increased.

Lu Ting built a chivalrous hall, and from the current point of view, it is doing well. He wants to expand the scale so soon, and it has great prospects. It's rare that he doesn't forget his old feelings and pulls his second child into it. This alone is worth the capital.

Cheng Yaojin was careless on the surface, but the small calculations in his heart were crackling.
