A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 285

Hearing the laughter, Cheng Yaojin, an uninvited guest, walked into Niu's mansion. Niu Jinda looked at Cheng Yaojin, "Boy Gu Qing is at the old man's mansion, how can you say that Cheng Yaojin came to see you?"

"The old man heard from the concierge at home that Gu Xiaozi wanted to come to someone Cheng's house, but you stopped him halfway." Cheng Yaojin sat next to Gu Qing and put his palm on his shoulder, "Gu Xiaozi , to be honest, isn’t that the case.”

"Hehe!" Niu Jinda also sneered, "That's Gu boy going to the wrong door."

"Isn't it like this?" Cheng Yaojin said with a strange smile, "The gate of my Mr. Cheng's house is a pole wider than your Niu's house, and you will go wrong. Could it be that your eyes are so quick at such a young age, Gu Xiaozi? Does it work?"

"..." Gu Qing took a sip of wine dryly.

"Boy, you are talking." Cheng Yaojin laughed, "Why do you look like you lost money?"

Gu Qing: "..."

"Recently, there are not enough tea leaves to sell." Niu Jinda pondered, "Gu Qing, can you grow this tea in your greenhouse? Your greenhouse can grow vegetables even in the middle of winter, and tea leaves are fine too."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Gu Qing put down the wine bowl and explained, "The cultivation of tea requires a very special soil, which is suitable for cultivation in the south, and tea cultivation is too dependent on light, climate, and rain, so the greenhouse cannot grow tea."

Niu Jinda nodded thoughtfully.

Cheng Yaojin also said, "Mosquito coils are out of business, and the remaining ones are all damp. Where do you think the flying mosquitoes come from in the middle of winter?"

Gu Qing drank the wine and said, "Actually, apart from delivering the food this time, the boy has one more thing to trouble the two uncles."

I hurriedly interrupted their conversation, and felt like I was really going to lose money if I kept talking like this.

"Trouble?!" Cheng Yaojin looked at Gu Qing strangely, "What new business do you have, brat? Say it boldly, I, the Cheng family, will partner with you."

"Actually, it's not a business." Gu Qingchang sighed, "It's just that the kid has a bold idea, and wants to invite the two uncles to donate money."

"What! Donate money?" Cheng Yaojin plucked his ears. "Come on! See off the guests."

Niu Jinda: "..."

"Both uncles, I heard from the boy..." Gu Qing was dragged away by several nurses and said: "In the middle of this month, I must come to the academy."

After Gu Qing was dragged away, Cheng Yaojin thought about it and said, "Old Niu, what do you think Gu Qing is playing tricks on?"

The lobby of the Niu Mansion fell into silence, and Niu Jinda hesitated to speak for a while before he spoke: "Do you remember when this kid auctioned colored glaze?"

"Of course I remember!" Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine.

"This kid has taken over the affairs of the Daming Palace, and what he lacks the most right now is money." Niu Jinda put down his wine bowl: "This time it may also be for money."

"If Gu Qing asks the dignitaries to spend money to rebuild the Daming Palace, will those dignitaries agree? This old man always finds this thing weird."

"This kid's method... I am afraid that the rich and powerful were rushing to give money back then." Niu Jinda continued: "It depends on what method this Gu Qing wants to use."

Gu Qing stood outside the Niu Mansion and sighed, put down two boxes of fruits and vegetables and left, heading to the next Qin Qiong Mansion.

Chang'an is very cold in winter, Gu Qing shrank his neck and tightened his clothes.

Arriving at the destination, Gu Qing stepped forward and said to the concierge, "I'll deliver the food."

The concierge smiled when he saw Gu Qing, "General Qin Qiong and General Yuchi are here, Lord Hou, let's go in."

"I'll go in and visit the two generals." Gu Qing stepped into Qin Qiong's mansion, Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong were drinking and talking at the same time, Gu Qing watched the two generals sitting and drinking wine facing each other outside the door, tinkering On the sand table in front of them, the two looked dignified, and it was cold and snowy outside the door, and they always felt a bit like talking about heroes with wine.

"Come in!" Qin Qiong had already noticed Gu Qing standing outside the door.

After taking a closer look, I realized that the two generals were simulating the battle situation on the sand table.

"Boy, let's see if the old man has the upper hand or Qin Qiong has a chance of winning."

"Uncle Qin and Uncle Yuchi use their troops like gods, and they are evenly divided!" Gu Qing said with a smile: "The boy sent two boxes of vegetables."

"........."

Yu Chigong wondered why there were two boxes of vegetables behind him, and he thought in his mind, pushing the cavalry forward and besieging Qin Qiong's army on the mountain, "I want to see what else you can do."

"Let's take my leave now, kid." Gu Qing said as he was about to walk out.

"Stop!" Yu Chigong said.

Gu Qing stood where he was.

Qin Qiong also shouted, "Come here!"

Standing honestly in front of the two generals, Gu Qing said aggrievedly in a low voice, "You two uncles, what are your orders?"

"Let me tell you, the situation on the sand table is better for him, Yu Chigong, or for this old man."

Listening to Qin Qiong's words, Gu Qing said with a smile: "The two uncles use soldiers like gods, and they are both very good."

"What do brats know!" Yu Chi Gong waved his hands in disgust and said, "Go out."

Seeing that Gu Qing was still standing there, Qin Qiong said again: "What's wrong?"

"In the middle of this month, there will be a banquet in the boy's academy. At that time, I will invite the two uncles to go. The invitation will be sent in a few days."

Yuchi Gong remained expressionless: "Is it finished?"

Gu Qing: "It's over."

"Go out." Qin Qiong said.

"Hey." Gu Qing bowed and left.

After Gu Qing left, there was silence between Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong.

After a long time...

"I always feel that this kid has something to say." Qin Qiong thought about it.

"This kid, he's holding back bad ideas." Yu Chigong seemed to have guessed a bit.

Gu Qing drove the car to the gate of Fang Xuanling's mansion again.Dragging a basket of green vegetables into Fangfu.

Mrs. Fang saw the basket of vegetables sent by Gu Qing, "Gu Qing, you came here when you came, and you still have so many vegetables."

In ancient times, there were no vegetables that could be planted in the middle of winter. What ordinary people ate were dried vegetables, and those with a little bit of food could eat pickled vegetables.

Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Let's stay for dinner."

Gu Qing smiled and nodded.

"The old man is in the study." Mrs. Fang pointed to the study and called into the room: "Erlang, come out and help get the vegetables."
