Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness
Chapter 228 The Atmosphere Is Wrong
He thought Lu Yanzhao would be happy if they were left alone. Could it be that he had done something bad with good intentions?Shang Yilan was worried in his heart, but pretended not to know on his face as he walked in and apologized. He looked up and saw Li Cheng leaning against the window, with a smile on his lips but not displeased, and he was even more puzzled.
Lu Yanzhao raised his head and shot a cold knife at Shang Yilan: "Who was Mr. Shang talking to at the door just now?"
Because Lu Yanzhao stayed in the capital for a short time, he might know a lot of the officials in the court, but the family members of these officials knew only a limited number. Shang Yilan said with some confusion: "He belongs to Mr. Cheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry." The young master is now a Jinshi, and I think he will join the Hanlin Academy. By the way, Mr. Cheng’s wife is related to the Empress, and the Empress often summons her to the palace."
A few simple sentences clarify the relationship behind the Cheng family. The Cheng family is currently on the rise. Shang Yilan is optimistic about the prospects of the Cheng family. If nothing goes wrong, Cheng Xuan's future will be unlimited.
"Cheng family? But I just looked out the window and I recognized the two people who came with Mr. Cheng." Li Cheng whispered with a smile.
Shang Yilan finally knew what the problem was. It seemed that these two people knew Li Cheng.Considering that those two people were indeed good-looking, it's no wonder that Lu Yanzhao, the evil god, was unhappy.
Shang Yilan touched his nose and sat down, remembering Cheng Xuan's introduction to the two people just now, and said suddenly: "I just said it sounds familiar. Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang who are traveling with me are from Anqing County. No wonder Miss Li knows how to do it." We know Miss Li and them..."
Shang Yilan took a look at Lu Yanzhao's face and found that it was getting worse and worse. He stopped talking and did not continue. Instead, Li Cheng seemed not to notice and continued: "That Mr. Jiang once had a marriage contract with me. Since I'm in Beijing and I'm with the Cheng family master, I guess I'm in high school."
No wonder!Only then did Shang Yilan understand why Lu Yanzhao looked like this.
"You are right in your guess. Mr. Jiang did win this time. However, it may be a little troublesome to send officials from a low background. Miss Li, do you need Shang to help?"
"Crack!"
The cup in Lu Yanzhao's hand broke. The sound made Shang Yilan's heart skip a beat. Lu Yanzhao calmly brushed away the broken cup and reached out to pour it in his hand before he could drink it. took the tea and said: "Thank you."
Shang Yilan is in a bad mood, so why bother making a joke!His official kiln!
Li Cheng seemed not to have seen him, and said with a smile: "I have only met him twice, so I am not familiar with him. Once I didn't know his identity, and again when I left Anqing County. His future will be his own." It’s determined that there is no need for Mr. Shang to worry about it, lest I owe him a favor for someone I don’t know.”
These words made Lu Yanzhao's expression improve, but he made up his mind to let Li Cheng and the man named Jiang stay away from each other in the future. By the way, didn't they say they would send officials?It wouldn't be a bad idea to let him go to a distant place to be a county magistrate.
Li Cheng said: "But this man is an upright person, but he has read too many books and has no scheming skills. If he really stays in this capital, given his background, it will be difficult for him to get ahead. If he can be sent out, he may be able to succeed." Make a difference.”
Lu Yanzhao suddenly raised the corners of his mouth. Li Cheng noticed that his mood suddenly improved and looked at him strangely. She knew why he looked depressed before, but now his expression changed.
Shang Yilan twitched his lips, thinking that the fate of Mr. Jiang who was dining downstairs had been decided without his knowledge.
However, this may not be a blessing for Jiang Yingwu, who was born in a poor family. If it is as Miss Li said, with such a personality and no family background to rely on, it is indeed difficult to develop in the capital. There may be some opportunities for experience outside.
The waiter brought the dishes one after another, and the three of them discussed matters about the tavern while eating.Shang Yilan has protested many times about the name of the wine. He wants to give it a more elegant name instead of Yujia Baijiu. In the future, he will give it something like Yujia Red Wine, Yujia Tea Wine, etc., which will make people happy when he hears it. I feel vulgar, too vulgar!The nobles in the capital are so elegant that they can't come up with such a vulgar name.
Li Cheng has always loved delicious food, and Lu Yanzhao would always be there to bring her food. Seeing Shang Yilan jumping around in a hurry, he said, "Then just come up with a name for me, and I can recognize a few characters. I can’t even write the words well, you want me to pick it up?”
Lu Yanzhao curled his lips and looked at Li Cheng, while Shang Yilan didn't know what to say. He had never seen anyone so humble and self-deprecating.
It was not the first day he met Li Cheng. Even though her handwriting was terrible, he dared to say that Li Cheng was definitely not ignorant. Her vision was higher than some of the scholars he had come into contact with.
"I think it's simple and easy to remember. It's easy to understand at a glance and doesn't have to be arty." This is what Lu Yanzhao said.
Shang Yilan knew that no matter what Li Cheng said, he would always say a good word, and he had no principles at all.
Seeing that Shang Yilan was so angry that he had nothing to say, Li Cheng comforted him with a smile: "When you come to the Hou Mansion next time, I will give you a jar of tea and wine."
After Li Dong came over, Li Cheng took out a lot of things from the space under the pretext of transporting them in the carriage.
"Okay, it's settled. I will follow you to the Marquis Mansion later and get the wine first. But since the Marquis has said so, the name of this wine will not be changed. The Xia family was making tea at the beginning. The name of the wine will let those who are familiar with it know what it is as soon as the tea wine comes out." Shang Yilan made a big fuss, but also gave in quickly.
"By the way, how is the Xia family doing now? Is there anyone in the capital?" Li Cheng asked when the Xia family was mentioned.
"The Xia family has a tea shop in the capital. The master has not heard of anyone staying in the capital. However, once our tea and wine come out, there will definitely be movement in the Xia family, but they will not be able to control it then." Tea and wine belong to this family. Aunt Jiang in Zhengyang Village owned it, not the Xia family, but the Xia family themselves were too stupid to keep it.Besides, neither the Shang family nor the Sixth Prince can be offended by the Xia family. Besides, there is also Marquis Dingguo, so what does the Xia family have to fear?
"That's fine." Li Cheng narrowed his eyes.Let the Xia family watch their original secret recipe become someone else's. Will they come back? What can be more satisfying than this?
Shang Yilan calculated in his mind that brewing tea wine requires a lot of tea leaves, but the scale of Zhengyang Village in Licheng alone is far from enough. It is better to take this opportunity to get one or two tea houses from the Xia family.
Cheng Xuan, Jiang Yingwu and Wang Yu were drinking and talking. Since the latter two did not know much about the Shang family, Cheng Xuan explained to them in detail that in the future, when walking in the capital, they must understand the powerful people in the capital, otherwise they will not be able to do anything. If you accidentally offend someone, your career will be over before it even begins. You are lucky to be able to save your life.
