Brother Donggong

Cui Bicheng was settling accounts that day.This year was a good year, and the tea from Wuyi Mountain was sold to Yongjing, Liaodong, and even neighboring countries by his business name, which made him a lot of money.Cui Bicheng was very happy. He asked someone to make him a pot of tea. He held Jiaxing Zisha in one hand and an abacus in the other, and was leisurely looking at the account book. The good friend Peacock laughed along with him, preventing people from outside from coming in.

The peacock kept saying, "My lord, my lord, our Lord Hou is sick and we won't see you today."

Peacock has just entered the mansion, he doesn't know that person, he doesn't know that that person is shameless and shameless, he is a good friend, he can't stop him at all.

Sure enough, the man was taken aback, with a half-smile, and slapped the peacock's head with the folding fan in his hand, "Why, your Lord Hou has hemorrhoids? So you won't receive guests today?"

When Cui Bicheng heard it in the room, his nose almost turned out of anger.

He had heard the sound early and knew that it was Chengyi, the God of Plague. The God of Plague was a little tight recently. He wanted to build another garden in the outskirts of Yongjing. Before lifting his foot to come in, Cui Bicheng had already crawled on the imperial concubine's couch and hummed.

Sure enough, Peacock couldn't stop him, Cui Bicheng waved his hand and let him go out.Only Lord Cui himself can deal with this god of plague that came.

Cheng Yi was also not polite, and sat down on the imperial concubine's couch, hit Cui Bicheng's forehead with a fan, and said, "Hey, why are you covering your forehead with a handkerchief? Are you confinement?"

"Go! Go! Go!" Cui Bicheng pulled Chengyi's fan, and he found that recently Chengyi became more and more like those useless princes and grandsons in Yongjing who were full of food all day long and had nothing to do. Said, "I am worried."

Chengyi was amused by his appearance, "What do you have to worry about? Squat down every day when you are full. I see that you have become fat from eating for nothing these days."

Cui Bicheng said sadly, "The lord receives the royal salary, and the emperor has his own money to give you. You have a good life and good fortune. You don't know the hardships of living at home. These seven things open the door, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar." Tea, I have to worry about everything, I have a big family here, hundreds of mouths are waiting to eat, can I not worry about it? My heart is broken, I am hard to death."

"I only know that you are a cripple, but I don't know. Your heart is like a sieve. It's so strange."

After Cheng Yi finished speaking, she stared intently at the tea bowl on the table, Cui Bicheng murmured in her heart—could this humble tea bowl in his hand be a treasure?

Although it is said that this tea bowl is from an official kiln, it is a thing from the Fenghua period. It is only five or six years ago. The folks regard it as a treasure, but in the hands of the minister, it is an earthen jar.The official kiln of Yuanxi in this dynasty is a rare treasure.The shape and glaze color of the utensils need to cater to the taste of the current emperor. Emperor Yuanxi has a tricky taste and a very high vision. Nothing that is easy to get into his eyes, so now the Ouchi uses first-class good things that are rare in ten thousand years. Well, a burnt pen washer can be sold for several thousand taels of silver, but now that Emperor Yuanxi is in power, he is strictly in charge, and no one dares to mess with those things.

Chengyi lived in the palace for most of the year, seeing more of those things, her eyesight naturally improved.

Cui Bicheng heard that Chengyi recently learned to tinker with some antiques and made some money. She has a very bad eye. It is said that she has never had an eye shot, but he is not bad. He opened a shop in Liulichang 800 years ago. That What was Seung-yi doing at the time?He might still be raising his fat-headed fish in Yuzheng Palace!

wrong.

People in this world don't have their own opinions, they just follow others' advice.What the emperor likes in the court, spread out, and that thing is worth a lot of money.Chengyi is in the palace, if he can reveal a few words to let himself know what the emperor likes in the future, first stock up at a low price, wait for the market to improve, and then sell it at a high price, sure big money.

He was figuring it out, when he saw Chengyi squinting her eyes and opening her mouth to laugh, not to mention, his teeth are quite white, he said, "It's done, don't settle accounts at your house, the weather is fine today, spring is warm and flowers are blooming." Yes, let's go to the southern suburbs for a lake tour, and have lunch on the cruise ship, and I'll be the host."

Cui Bicheng gritted his teeth, "Come on, how dare I ask you to invite me. Don't wait for me to eat your meal, and you will find it for me in other places later. Let me be the host, and let's not mess around." Leaving, you know that my legs and feet are not good, and my feet are sore after walking far away, so the two of us will eat in my Lingering Garden. My cook is newly hired from Yongjia, and you can't get good craftsmanship outside. After so many years, you They're all floating outside, and they're eating rough food, which makes your intestines thick."

Snapped!Chengyi's fan knocked on Cui Bicheng's forehead, and he had a half-smile, "What are you talking about? Well, don't play tricks here, change your clothes and start, or you won't be able to eat Nanhu's fresh food if it's too late." .”

On the painting boat in Nanhu Lake, there is a master who adjusts the tripod, and his three dishes are famous in Yongjing, such as ice-squeezed lotus root juice, flower-carved fresh shad and tofu.

Lotus root juice and tofu are side dishes, but the fresh shad dish that really makes everyone flock to it.It is said that the live fish is as big as a calf, and when eaten, it is cut off one by one, and served with flower carvings, green onions, and ginger, which tastes very sweet.

Cui Bicheng's leg was injured before, but now he has healed up, but he still walks with a limp.Every time he goes out, he holds a walking stick carved with a phoenix in his hand.This crutch is said to be carved from some kind of wood in Lingshan, and it is blessed by the great mage. It is said that this thing is worth 1 taels of gold.

Every time Cheng Yi saw Lao Cui holding the crutch with an obscene face, as if holding his daughter-in-law's hand, that expression was terribly horrified.

He sat on the chair, opened the fan and fanned it slowly, and said casually, "I think you will just live with your cane in this life."

Cui Bicheng disapproved, "Don't I still have you?"

This is a joke, but this joke has been said for almost 30 years, and any joke that has been around for 30 years has almost come true.

The folding fan in Chengyi's hand was still fanning unhurriedly, but the half-smile in her eyes was gone.

Cui Bicheng's legs are not good. He used to have trouble walking. Later, his donkey's temper forced him to practice. After so many years of raising him, he was able to walk like flying and ride a horse.It's just that he doesn't ride a horse on weekdays, so he doesn't look expensive.Lord Hou of Cui's family, the majestic concubine, needs a big sedan chair to show his grandeur when he comes in and out.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Cheng Yi looked at the big sedan chair that looked like overstretched dough, frowned, and asked someone to take this thing away.As soon as Cui Bicheng went out, he didn’t see his sedan chair, but only saw two fat Hun horses with big buttocks. He immediately leaned on his crutches and pretended to be weak, “I, I’m weak, I can’t ride a horse.”

Cheng Yi closed her fan and said with a smile, "Nonsense, Wen Zhan saw you hunting in Beicheng the day before yesterday, why can't you ride a horse today?"

"This wolf..."

The three words wolf cub lingered in Cui Bicheng's throat, and finally swallowed it down.When Wen Zhan was the prince, Cui Bicheng scolded him as a 'wolf cub' for many years, but now he is the emperor, and his marquis mansion is such a big family, even if not for himself, it is for these People accumulate some morals.

If you can't curse, you still have to ride the horse.

Cui Bicheng looked at these two good horses worth tens of thousands of gold, and felt dark in his heart. If Chengyi had ever led him a bad horse, he would definitely not be able to ride it, but this kind of horse in front of him, he would not be able to ride it even if he died. Have an addiction.He tied his crutches to his back with a silk rope, and beckoned, "You guys, bring me a horse stool!"

The boys outside the door lined up, and no one moved.

Cui Bicheng stared, the blurred look of spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River had long since disappeared on his face, and now he became Lord Hades with horns on his head.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "It's still so troublesome to get on the horse. If you go to the southern suburbs and there is no waiter, how do you get on and off the horse? Come on, you can just do it."

As he spoke, he squatted down by himself, crossed his hands, put them on a lower position next to the stirrups, and said, "Come on, I'll serve you."

Seeing Chengyi doing things like a stable boy naturally made Cui Bicheng feel very uncomfortable.

His cousin Chengyi is a golden branch and jade leaf, let alone serving others, even the emperor is not capable of letting him move a finger.That's the real master who doesn't hold up the oil bottle when it's down, and doesn't hold the grass.

Now that I have been floating outside for a few years and come back, I seem to have changed a lot, much softer.But this kind of softness made Cui Bicheng uncomfortable, because that kind of softness contained insight and tolerance, which is the feeling of people who have experienced sadness.

For a long time, he has been used to standing in the position of a protector. Whether it's making jokes or playing tricks, he will subtly hide his thoughts, stand in a dark place, and give quietly.He always thought, don't bother him, don't bother him, when he doesn't need him, he can leave without taking a cloud.

Chengyi opened her hands and said with a smile, "Why, you hate me? Don't worry, I won't fall you." Seeing that Cui Bicheng didn't move, he was happy again, "Why are you twitching like a big girl getting on a sedan chair? ? But then again, is there a bride who looks like you?"

Cui Bicheng quit, "What's wrong with me? I'm a fresh flower."

Cheng Yi pushed him, "It's done, don't play tricks, hurry up, there will be no fish to eat when it's late, I will only eat wild vegetables for you."

As he said that, Cui Bicheng liked to go out to hunt in the city with his hand, and getting on a horse was not a difficult task, but with two pushes, Cui Bicheng climbed onto the saddle in a not-so-pretty dog-planing posture.

After getting on the horse, Cheng Yi said to the group of people in the Cui Mansion, "I'll take you Lord Hou out of the city for a walk for three or five days. If he hasn't come back after three or five days, he probably eloped with someone."

Cui Bicheng stared, "What are you talking about?"

Chengyi gritted her teeth and waved her hands, the two of them stopped talking, they crossed their legs and walked straight out of Yongjing along the main road in front of Cuihou's Mansion.
