Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 310, Xue Dingshan Meets Grandpa God!

The news of Xue Dingshan's return to Chang'an is either big or small, and the reason is naturally very simple. If Xue Rengui returned to Chang'an in person, it would definitely be a big event that shocked the city of Chang'an.

After all, everyone knew that the relationship between Xue Rengui and the current empress was not that strong. Even when the empress ascended the throne, Xue Rengui wanted to bring Liangzhou soldiers back to Chang'an. Although Xue Rengui didn't say it clearly, anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

Therefore, during the year when the Empress ascended the throne, the relationship between Xue Rengui and the imperial court was not very good, otherwise, there would not be the military salary of last year, and it has not been paid up to now!
Even if it weren't for the constant mediation of several veterans of the Zhenguan sect, the relationship between Xue Rengui and the court would have deteriorated further.

Of course, after all, Xue Dingshan, Xue Rengui's son, returned to Chang'an, not Xue Rengui himself, so this can also be regarded as Xue Rengui's temptation to the court. Of course, it is unknown whether this temptation has any effect!
Cheng Fu,

The first thing Xue Dingshan did after returning to Chang'an City was to follow his father Xue Rengui's wishes and go to Cheng's mansion to find Cheng Yaojin. After all, among the veterans of the Zhenguan Sect, Cheng Yaojin has the strongest relationship with Xue Rengui ,
And Cheng Yaojin also contributed a lot in the mediation between the imperial court and Xue Rengui, it is not so unexpected that Xue Dingshan returned to Chang'an to see Cheng Yaojin for the first time!
"Dingshan has met Grandpa Gan!"

Xue Dingshan is young and heroic, although he is also a child, but there is an old-fashioned aura on his body!
To be honest, it's quite strange that such a feeling appears in a young man, but Xue Dingshan has been in the border for a long time, and his mental age is more mature than his physical age, which is quite normal.
"Ding Shan, I haven't seen you for a few years, I didn't expect you to grow up so big!"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Xue Dingshan at the moment and said with a smile, Cheng Yaojin is a natural optimist, and this kind of character is very pleasing in court, in the original history of Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin can be said to have gone through several dynasties Not to fall, extraordinary,

"Grandpa, the last time we met was six years ago. At that time, I was only ten years old. Six years have passed, and now I am sixteen. Ding Shan has indeed grown up, but you don't seem to have anything wrong with you, Grandpa. Change? I think you look younger than six years ago!"

Xue Dingshan also said happily at the moment, after staying in Liangzhou for six years, to be honest, Xue Dingshan still misses Cheng Yaojin a lot, after all, Cheng Yaojin treated Xue Rengui very well back then, caring for him in every possible way, as if he were his own grandson !
"Hehe, you boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are quite good at talking. People are only getting older by one year. Six years have passed, and I, Cheng Yaojin, have also aged by six years. There is no reason to be younger than before!"

Hearing what Xue Dingshan said, Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, although he knew that Xue Dingshan was sycophant, but it was comfortable to listen to.

"Ding Shan is telling the truth. Grandpa Gan, if you don't believe me, you can go back to look in the mirror at night. Compared with six years ago, Grandpa Gan is indeed not much older!"

Xue Dingshan also smiled at this moment and said, what is the current situation of their Xue family in Liangzhou?
Xue Dingshan actually knew it very well in his heart, so at this moment Xue Dingshan came back to Chang'an with a big mission, even though Cheng Yaojin and Xue's family were almost tied to the same warship, and he was very kind to Xue Rengui, He is also Xue Dingshan's godfather, but the more so, the more Xue Dingshan respects Cheng Yaojin.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more, Liangzhou is bitterly cold, and I'm afraid there aren't many good things for you. Now that I'm back in Chang'an, I just have a rest these few days. Let's smoke a cigarette with Grandpa first!"

It was just a short chat with Xue Dingshan, and Cheng Yaojin felt a little smoke in his throat immediately.

Then he directly took out a pack of cigarettes to open, took out one and handed it to Xue Dingshan, and then took one in his mouth too!
"Grandfather, what is this thing? When I entered the city, I seemed to see many people smoking this thing, but I don't know what it is?"

Holding a cigarette in his hand, Xue Dingshan couldn't help asking strangely at this moment, when he entered the city, Xue Dingshan came on horseback, so he also saw many people in Chang'an City with a small white wooden stick in their mouths, smash it! smoke it,

But Xue Dingshan never knew what this little white wooden stick was. Seeing that Cheng Yaojin even brought out this little wooden stick to entertain him, Xue Dingshan felt even more curious!

"Ding Shan, you don't know that. These are cigarettes, which became popular in Chang'an City last year. They need to be lit before they can be used. You can know what it tastes like when you smoke one!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately laughed and said, he took out a torch from his arms and blew it on, then lit the incense pipe in his mouth, took a deep breath, and the small wooden stick immediately lit up a bright spot. was lit.

Following Cheng Yaojin's example, Xue Dingshan also lit the small white wooden stick in his mouth at this moment, and then also took a deep breath
"Cough cough..." However, after taking this breath, Xue Dingshan coughed involuntarily for a while, but it is always a little unaccustomed for a smoker to smoke for the first time.
But after coughing twice, I soon fell into this wonderful smell. Although it smells really choking, but after smoking, there is a feeling of ecstasy!

This feeling is amazing to smokers, but to other non-smokers, there are only two words to describe it, that is addiction!
The same is true for Xue Dingshan. He was not used to taking the first puff, but after taking the second puff, he got used to the smell of cigarettes in no time. This cigarette has a different flavor!"

"Of course, especially since it's such a simple one, but it costs a tael of silver!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help shaking his head and said, now there are very few opportunities for Cheng Yaojin to get cigarettes, Di Renjie regards cigarettes very seriously, even if Cheng Yaojin has the cheek to rub them, he can only rub a few That's all, this time twice is okay, this time more times, Di Renjie also loves to ignore Cheng Lao Qiansui, even if Cheng Yaojin wants to smoke now, he has to pay for it!
The angry Cheng Yaojin directly hung up his grandson and beat him up. When he opened the hot pot restaurant, Cheng Yaojin gave Cheng Qianzong 2 taels of silver.

The 2 taels of silver would have to be [-] cigarettes, even if converted into packs, it would be [-] packs.

In the end, I didn't expect that the money would be in vain, but Cheng Qianzong's answer was plausible,
Cigarettes are cigarettes, and hot pot is hot pot. Grandpa, you invested in a hot pot restaurant, not cigarettes. Naturally, the dividends of the hot pot restaurant will be calculated separately, but you still have to pay for cigarettes!
