Datang New Giants

Chapter 72

After eating the chicken, Cheng Yaojin asked the maid to take the youngest Cheng Chubi, who was fighting eyelids, down to rest, and then drove Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang to wait on his wife, and then invited Lu Ting to sit and chat under the gazebo in the back garden. Zhong has already prepared the food and wine.

"Nephew, come, eat and drink, treat it at home, if you are polite, it will be your share." Cheng Yaojin laughed a few times, and started to eat first.

It is already past noon, and a chicken is definitely not full, so there is an extra meal.

The family culture of the old Cheng's family is a bit rough, but the devil king of the world is not difficult to get along with. He is straightforward and straightforward, without so much airs. In the words of later generations, he is very down-to-earth.

Lu Ting ate most of the chicken and drank some wine. He was not hungry. Seeing Cheng Yaojin's enthusiasm, he hesitated and picked up chopsticks to eat with him.

After drinking for three rounds and tasting for five times, Lu Ting looked around and said, "I have a few words that I want to have a private chat with Uncle Cheng, can I ask these servants to step back first?"

"It's okay, they are all old people in the Cheng family, they are loyal and loyal, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it." Cheng Yaojin said carelessly.

Lu Ting lowered his head and smiled, just touched his wine glass lightly and didn't speak.

A strange look flashed in Cheng Yaojin's eyes, he just pondered for a moment, and quickly waved his hand: "There's nothing wrong here, you all step back."

Just now I saw Lu Ting hesitating to speak several times, Cheng Yaojin told him something to him, so he sent the three sons away early, and after he made a promise, Lu Ting still refused to say anything, there are two possibilities, One is that the things to be said are really important;

"Lang Jun, this." The guards on the side were a little hesitant, Lu Ting was too shy, he rushed to the door rashly, and wanted to chat privately, what if he had something wrong?
After Cheng Yaojin refused the prince's solicitation, he was dispatched to Kangzhou as the governor, and experienced several assassinations. Fortunately, he was lucky and saved every time he saved the day, and now he brings guards with him wherever he goes.

"Go down." Cheng Yaojin saw the guard's concerns, and said indifferently.

To be able to sit where he is today, Cheng Yaojin paid for it with real military exploits. A person who comes out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, is still afraid of a yellow-haired boy?He can lift people up with one hand, and Cheng Yaojin has full confidence in his own safety.

The two guards saluted and quickly retreated to a place about five feet away. They did not leave, but watched vigilantly.

He stared at Lu Ting and did not let others approach him.

Cheng Yaojin took a piece of tender venison and threw it into his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "There is no outsider now, nephew, you can talk about it."

What a big deal can a yellow-haired boy do?You don't want to look at the beautiful maid in the central mansion, do you?
His three sons lack a string in their minds, and Cheng Yaojin's friendship with the second is nothing to Cheng Yaojin, if it wasn't for the sake of Lu Ting's gift of a magic weapon, he would have been kicked out of the house long ago.

Lu Ting looked around and said in a low voice, "Does Uncle Cheng have any impression of the former prince Zhongyun Wanggui?"

Wang Gui?Cheng Yaojin paused for a moment with the chopsticks he raised, with a dignified look on his face, he held the vegetables and said, "Wang Shujie is also a figure in Chang'an, of course I know him, let's continue."

Lu Ting briefly talked about how he got to know Wang Gui, skipped the process of persuasion and the results of the conversation between the two, and then said seriously: "Old man Wang asked the younger generation to bring a few words to King Qin, and repeatedly told him to read it." It was not until the King of Qin said that this junior came to Chang'an for the first time, and he was not familiar with the place. He just went to the Prince Qin's mansion, but he couldn't see the King of Qin. I want to ask Uncle Cheng for a recommendation."

"What? Wang Gui asked you to bring a message to the prince?" Cheng Yaojin's expression finally changed, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

Wang Gui used to be the core material of the prince's mansion. He and Wei Zheng were the most powerful think tanks around the prince Li Jiancheng. They knew the prince's mansion well. The king of Qin failed to recruit him many times. The trustee took the initiative to show his favor to King Qin.

The Crown Prince's Mansion and King Qin's Mansion are now fighting in full swing. King Qin returned with a big victory, and temporarily formed a balanced state with the Crown Prince, who is deeply favored by His Majesty. The addition of Wang Gui's variable will definitely benefit the Qin Palace and cause no harm.

Cheng Yaojin put down his chopsticks, and said with a serious face: "Nephew, you can't just talk about this matter, otherwise, if something happens, I won't be able to keep you."

Lu Ting nodded: "Uncle Cheng, don't worry, the matter is of great importance. This matter is absolutely true. If there is a half-truth, let Uncle Cheng and the prince deal with it."

"The matter is of great importance. The old man will go out right away. My nephew, you can stay here and wait at ease." Cheng Yaojin knew that the matter was serious, and said decisively.

No wonder I saw two people sneaking around in front of my mansion when I came back. Cheng Yaojin recognized those two people as King Qin's personal guards. into the mansion.

I am loyal to King Qin, and I am not afraid of surveillance, but I didn't expect that it was Lu Ting who attracted him.

Wang Gui is too critical, I would rather believe it than not, this matter must be reported to the prince immediately.

"All according to Uncle Cheng's orders."

Cheng Yaojin was a loyal supporter of Li Er, so it would be no problem for him to entrust this matter to him. All he could do now was to wait.

"Very good" Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, called Cheng Zhong over, gave some instructions, and then went out without stopping.

After Cheng Yaojin left, the butler Cheng Zhong saluted Lu Ting and said: "Master Lu, your lord has ordered that the lord may meet you in a while. I see that you are tired and some wine has been spilled on your clothes. Why don't you go first?" Shower and change, okay?"

"Cheng Steward, I didn't bring any spare clothes." Lu Ting said with some embarrassment.

The ancients paid great attention to etiquette. Before meeting important guests, bathing and changing clothes, maintaining appearance is to show respect to the other party, such as receiving imperial edicts, offering sacrifices, etc., and burning incense and bathing, but they did not bring clothes.

Cheng Zhong looked at Lu Ting for a while, and said: "Young Master Lu and Second Young Master are similar in stature, there are a few sets of clothes that Second Young Master hasn't worn in the house, you can wear them first."

Having said that, Lu Ting nodded. Under Cheng Zhong's arrangement, bathing in a guest room, taking a hot bath in a large bathtub with dried flowers in winter is definitely a beautiful thing. The embarrassing thing is that four maidservants came over at the very beginning of washing. They washed their hair, brushed their body, cleaned their ears, and cut their nails without asking any questions. At the beginning, Lu Ting was not used to it, and was a little embarrassed at one time. He is also a person who has seen the world, and after a short period of embarrassment, he calmly let them at their mercy.

Half an hour later, Lu Ting looked at his brand-new self in the bronze mirror, and secretly sighed in his heart that high-ranking officials and nobles would enjoy it, taking a bath and being served by four maids, and the whole person felt refreshed after taking a bath.

The clothes are brand new, made of high-quality Su silk, they fit well, and have been scalded with a torch, as if they were tailor-made for you. If you guessed right, someone took your clothes while you were taking a bath Take a measurement, then take a finished garment of similar size and have it repaired.

As soon as he went out, he saw Cheng Chuliang pulling his younger brother Cheng Chubi to lean on the pillars in the hallway, looking at him, taking a look, nodding his head and saying, "Not bad, not bad, looks good."

Lu Ting said with some embarrassment: "Brother Chu Liang laughed, I borrowed a new set of clothes from you."

"New clothes? Mine?" Cheng Chuliang was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and said, "No, it's not my clothes. Brother Lu doesn't need to worry about it."

"But Butler Cheng said that brother Chu Liang's figure is about the same as mine, and he wants to borrow your clothes."

Cheng Chubi clapped his hands and said, "You Xia Chicken, you are so stupid, Uncle Cheng lied to you."

"Lying to me? Why?" Lu Ting asked in surprise.

Afraid of embarrassing yourself, give yourself a good lie?

"No, Aye said that it's not easy to search someone who has a face to enter the mansion, coax him to take a bath, and find out everything." Cheng Chubi said as if to take credit.

No wonder the four maidservants just combed their hair and picked their ears. After all their tossing, they couldn't hide any weapons or hidden weapons. Before leaving, Cheng Mowang said a few words, and he probably asked the housekeeper to do this. After all, he was meeting Li Er at his house, and safety should be the first priority. If something happened, he couldn't afford it. He searched his whole body during the meeting. He was afraid that his heart would be chilled, so he used the method of taking a bath.

This thought, no one else.

"Cough, cough, cough" suddenly came a few dry coughs from the side, and when I turned my head, I saw the old housekeeper of Cheng's mansion coughing in embarrassment, looking at Cheng Chubi's eyes with resentment.

It's really hard to work as a housekeeper in Cheng's mansion if you don't have a strong heart. No, the second son is embarrassingly frank, and the third son is open and aboveboard, tearing down his own family.
"Uncle Cheng, are you okay?" Cheng Chubi asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you for your concern." Cheng Zhong finished with a wry smile, turned his head as if nothing happened just now, and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Ting: "Master Lu, this way please, the distinguished guest you want to see arrive."
