Datang New Giants

Chapter 128 Zheng Yuanxuan's Shock (please subscribe for tickets)

At Lu Ting's invitation, Zheng Yanzhi and Lu Ting watched Wuyitang's new property layout.

Lu Ting led the way while explaining, and Zheng Yanzhi who followed behind nodded frequently. I have to say that Lu Ting's ideas are very novel and practical. The design of the store is very clever, such as the placement of tables, the distance between locations, The interior decoration, etc., have obviously been carefully designed.

I just don't know what cage rice is, and it's probably another new gadget created by this prodigal son, and I don't know what his mind is thinking, there are always so many whimsical ideas.

"This table is not set up like this, move it a little more."

"The paint is faded, you need to sweep it twice more, come on, sweep like this."

"People, who is responsible for cleaning, look, there is still dust here, sweep again."

When Lu Ting took Xiaoqiao to see the new store, he immediately corrected it when he saw something wrong, and occasionally made a move himself, and the Xiaoqiao who followed behind was a little surprised when he saw it.

This prodigal son, who is lazy on weekdays, also said that those who work hard will rule others, and those who work hard will rule others. He will never stand if he can sit. However, he is very responsible for the new store. Show the results to the king of Qin.

I didn't expect him to be quite self-motivated.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have a very low status. Zheng Yanzhi heard Hongling say that Lu Ting was renovating a shop in Wubenfang, and she went to Wubenfang to see it, because she was afraid that Lu Ting would leave her business and go to work as a merchant. Now it seems that she can rest assured , Lu Ting is still the head of the Wuyi hall, and he is still working for the prince. Now he is managing the business as the head, and when it opens, there will be a familiar shopkeeper to take over.

If you show your face in public, your official career will be stained, and it will be difficult to make progress in the future.

"Cuckoo!" Suddenly, Zheng Yanzhi heard a strange sound, followed the sound, and saw Lu Ting looking at her stomach with some embarrassment.

I had something to do early in the morning, so I ate half a sheet of Hubing. I just had to make a stove at noon, so I forgot to eat. It's about three o'clock in the afternoon, so it's no wonder I'm not hungry.

On weekdays, Fuzhi helped him arrange the arrangements, but Lu Ting left Fuzhi at home to make cornstarch with mung beans, forgetting to eat.

"Too busy today, I didn't eat for most of the day, I made Miss Xiaozhi laugh at me." Lu Ting said with some embarrassment.

Zheng Yanzhi said with some concern: "Mr. Lu, you must take care of your body. You should eat this meal."

I haven't eaten for most of the day, and I don't care about my body too much. What if I'm starving?
Lu Ting said with a wry smile: "Shangyuan Festival is coming soon, I want to open before the festival, aren't I busy these two days, I'll find someone to buy something to eat, just fill my belly."

After hesitating for a while, Zheng Yanzhi said "wait a moment", took back a small food basket from the outside, opened it, took out a small plate from inside, and there were two pieces of red bean cakes in it, and a pair of exquisite ivory inlaid gold chopsticks, and said: "Here are some cakes, if Mr. Lu doesn't mind, please use them."

He was so hungry that he was groaning, and he didn't know when he would be able to buy it back. He happened to take his own pastries out on the street, which was cheap for him.

Even Zheng Yanzhi didn't know why, even though she wasn't hungry, she still wanted to take some homemade snacks out on the street.

"That's great, I'm almost fainting from hunger." Lu Ting's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to take chopsticks.

When he was about to touch the chopsticks, Lu Ting suddenly pulled them back. Just now he was sweeping paint and moving things, his hands were full of paint and dust, which formed a strong contrast with the pair of clean white chopsticks.

It would be bad to get those precious pair of ivory chopsticks dirty.

Lu Ting didn't even think about it, and said casually, "Miss Xiaozhi, my hands are too dirty, please help me pinch them."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

When Lu Ting took Zheng Yanzhi to visit the new store, Cheng Yaowang in the carriage said with a smile on his face: "Zheng Qing, you are really a rare visitor. It is rare to come to my house for dinner. Tonight we must... eat well and drink well."

Cheng Yaojin wanted to marry a girl with five surnames, but he couldn't do it all the time. He concluded that although he was born in a mediocre background, he was the Duke of the State of Su, and there was something attractive about him. I guess Iceman couldn't do it. Zheng Yuanxuan from the third house of the Northern Ancestor of Xingyang approached and expressed his affection, hoping that he would help him fulfill his dream.

Although Zheng Yuanxuan was only Hongluqing, his position in the Zheng family in Xingyang was superior, and he had a good relationship with other famous families. If Zheng Yuanxuan was willing to come forward, the chances would be much greater.

In order to achieve the goal, Cheng Yaojin showed all kinds of favors, invited dinner and gave gifts, but Zheng Yuanxuan has always been indifferent, and also intentionally kept his distance. It is not Cheng Mowang's character to give up easily. I like to copy and collect the paintings of Gu Kaizhi, a famous artist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I spent a lot of effort to develop a "Autumn Hunting Picture".

Not to mention myself, even the emperor, the prince and the prince all want to marry the seven clans and the five surnames. As long as those famous families get married, they have to get their approval and support, and Li Tang's country will be stronger. Xianhe has been declined many times. To Cheng Mowang, as long as his wish is fulfilled, face is nothing.

Sure enough, Zheng Yuanxuan, who had been looking for excuses to evade, heard about Gu Kaizhi's masterpiece "Autumn Hunting Picture", hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

Gu Kaizhi was a well-known talent in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was proficient in poetry and calligraphy, and was especially good at painting. He was very good at painting portraits, Buddha statues, animals, and landscapes. At that time, people called him the three masters: painting, writing, and infatuation. Xie An was very optimistic about him. Calling him "unprecedented since the common people", "Autumn Hunting Picture" is said to be his proud work when he was at the peak. Zheng Yuanxuan knew what Cheng Yaojin picture was, but in the end he still couldn't resist the temptation.

"General Cheng's kindness is hard to turn down, and Yuan Xuan is bothering you." A trace of contempt flashed in Zheng Yuanzhen's eyes, but he hid it well and did not show it, and said calmly.

Even if he is the Duke of the state, the reckless and vulgar taste is still there. When others say welcome, they are all words of brilliance, getting drunk or not drunk. Cheng Yaojin is not stingy, he just said " "I", and say that if you eat and drink well, a martial artist is a martial artist.

Zheng Yuanxuan felt a little contemptuous in his heart, so what if he was a prince of the state and wore a purple robe, his mouth would reveal his secrets, civet cats couldn't pretend to be princes, and dog meat couldn't get on the table.

Cheng Yaojin heard that there was not much enthusiasm in Zheng Yuanxuan's words, so he didn't take it seriously, as long as he did what he liked and worked hard, he wouldn't believe that he couldn't be moved.

"Zheng Qing is recognized as having a good eye. You have to help me take a good look at the painting in a while. You know that I am a rough person, and I don't know much about calligraphy and painting. I'm afraid people will be deceived." Cheng Yaojin took the initiative to change the topic. to that painting.

When it comes to paintings, Zheng Yuanxuan's tone is obviously more friendly, and he said enthusiastically: "The preciousness of famous paintings is mainly because they can be found in the classics, and the inheritance is orderly. It is said that Gu Kaizhi was invited by Xie An to hunt together. It was made later, and the last time it appeared was at the Chen family in Luozhou, General Cheng bought it from the descendants of the Chen family, so there is a great chance that it is genuine."

Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly, and took the opportunity to ask a few more questions about Gu Kaizhi, Zheng Yuanxuan answered them patiently, and the atmosphere became better and better.

Feeling that the time is almost here, Cheng Yaojin sighed and said: "Zheng Qing is worthy of being a talent cultivated by a famous family. His knowledge, temperament and talent are all first-class. , among other things, just the attainments in clear calculation are great, and those old accountants in the Prince Qin's mansion also have to say a word of obedience, which shows that Zheng Qing also has a lot of experience in teaching."

"I can't do it. The sons are like owed to them in the previous life. They come to collect debts in this life. One is more naughty than the other, and one is more difficult to teach. Zheng Qing must give me some advice on how to educate the children."

Speaking of this, without waiting for Zheng Yuanxuan to speak, Cheng Yaojin rushed to say: "I know that those three bastards are not worthy of the daughter of Ling, and it's not just for the sake of it, I just ask for some teaching methods, Zheng Qing must give some pointers. "

Knowing his own family affairs, Cheng Yaojin knew that Zheng Yuanxuan looked down on his four fathers and sons, and that his precious daughter didn't even have a role in the prince, let alone himself, so he simply retreated and said that he had no intention. As long as the relationship is established, and when the time comes to entrust him to be an iceman, can you mention this to his relatives, Wang family, Li family, and Cui family?
Right, that is it.

Zheng Yuanxuan didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing at first, and it's better to leave after seeing the painting. Cheng Yaojin said it so frankly, but it was hard to push it away. He pondered for a while and said: "It's hard to say about teaching. Teaching, no matter how you teach, you can’t escape the four words of etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, men must strive to make progress, women must follow the rules, you can’t.”

Having said this, Zheng Yuanxuan couldn't continue. His lazy eyes suddenly widened to the size of a bull's eye, and his face was full of shock. At this time, the carriage came to the street of Wubenfang and looked out of the window. , I happened to see my precious daughter, and I saw Xiaozhi holding something with chopsticks and feeding a young man.
