After going back on his word, begging for mercy, and being threatened with force, the shameless Cheng Yaojin took the money he had "rewarded" back from Xiao Han's arms, and then solemnly handed it over to Butler Lu.
And he was repeatedly told that when writing the merit book, he must write his name at the front, preferably at the first position!
After doing this, the scoundrel old man Cheng was finally satisfied and dragged Xiao Han to the kitchen to talk.
It’s strange that when people visit someone’s home, they always talk in the study. Even worse, it’s in places like the flower hall or living room, which are “low places” like the kitchen. Let alone visit, they don’t even take a second look.
!
However, this conventional rule does not apply to Cheng Yaojin and his group at all.
Dragging Xiao Han hastily, Cheng Yaojin broke into the Xiao family's kitchen with ease. Before Xiao Han could even react, he already kicked up the fat cook who was leisurely sunbathing at the door.
!
"Are you still sleeping during the Chinese New Year? Hurry up and get some snacks to go with the wine, and bring some jars of good wine! If you dare to fool me with bad wine, be careful I'll make you fat. I'll use it for lighting tonight!"
The fat cook, who was sleeping soundly, was kicked awake. He was angrily rolling up his arms and sleeves, preparing to fight the bastard who disturbed his dream!
Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard Cheng Yaojin's familiar voice. When I opened my eyes again, I saw that my Lord Marquis was here too!
The fat cook's already-thrown fist immediately made a big turn, from punching someone to a bowing posture. Even the fat, angry face changed like a face change in Sichuan Opera.
A flattering smile.
"Okay, Mr. Cheng, please come and I'll get it for you right away!"
After saying some flattery that he had learned from the waiter in the restaurant, the fat cook was no longer angry. He immediately rushed to the stove with his legs and feet, lit a fire and heated the pot, and started stir-frying the side dishes with his own hands.
The skilled craftsmanship and agile movements made several of his disciples and grandsons widen their eyes in unison. They were probably muttering in their hearts at this time: Is this their master (master) who is too lazy to even move all day long?
Cheng Yaojin still knows how to enjoy himself. In this cold day when water drops turn into ice, eating a delicious meal on a warm pot and boiling a pot of fine Huadiao wine is no better than huddled in the study, dry and dry.
Is drinking tea hundreds of times stronger?
"I heard that Mr. Yan has been here?" Cheng Yaojin poured the red and slightly black rice wine into his mouth. Cheng Yaojin squinted his eyes, enjoying the taste in his throat, and finally let out a long breath of wine.
, half-jokingly said to Xiao Han: "What did the old man say when you came here? Is it possible that because of your recent wonderful experiences, I am planning to write a biography for you alone?"
"Biography?" Xiao Han, who was sitting opposite Cheng Yaojin, also took a sip of wine. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and said, "There is no biography, but yesterday I almost broke my leg without pulling me!"
As he said that, he pointed to the living room outside with half interest, and sighed: "You also saw that those things are the product of the compassionate heart of the old man after he finished the transfer yesterday! He wanted to help the suffering people, but he didn't
He still disliked the smell of copper, so he blamed it all on me. Haha, he doesn’t have the smell of copper now, but it made me miserable!”
"Huh?" Cheng Yaojin frowned slightly after hearing Xiao Han's words and asked: "Isn't this the fundraising plan you proposed first? Why..."
"Hey, hey, hey? Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Han didn't wait for Cheng Yaojin to finish speaking this time, raised his hand to interrupt him, and said with an unhappy face: "Quan Chang'an, who doesn't know that I am a
A bastard who loves money as much as his life?! How could I be thinking of all kinds of good deeds like helping people?
It’s clear that Mr. Yan is compassionate and can’t bear to see the suffering of the people, so he not only donates generously, but also mobilizes wealthy people like you to contribute money together. I’m just an errand boy!”
"Oh? Is it true?" Seeing the certainty of Xiao Han's words, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but doubt his belief.
He didn't doubt Xiao Han's character. They had been together for so many years. If Xiao Han was really a bastard who only cared about money, then they wouldn't be able to get along so closely until now.
But Xiao Han now says that Yan Zhidui was behind this matter, which seems not impossible!
After all, the old man's character and kindness were known to all the people of the Tang Dynasty. To say that he couldn't stand the suffering of the people was indeed more convincing than Xiao Han.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Xiao Han with suspicion, but he didn't know that Xiao Han was also smiling bitterly at this time.
Worry about the country and the people, provide relief to the world, and share the emperor's worries!
This name is good and sounds good! But the problem is that it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford!
If Xiao Han remembers correctly, in a few hundred years there will be a rich man who is as rich as the world, and he also wants to help the emperor share the pressure and do good things for the people!
So the rich man volunteered to help build a section of the city wall.
As a result, the city wall was repaired, but the people were damaged by the narrow-minded emperor. In the end, they ended up being exiled to Lingnan, their assets were confiscated, and their families were destroyed.
Although, Xiao Han is not that rich man.
Xiao Lizi is not that petty king either.
But as this kind of thing is obviously suspected of inviting people's hearts, he thinks it is better to let the old man Yan Zhitui, who is about to become a sage, do it. He only needs to settle down and be a greedy and lustful little character who can break the drum and be beaten by thousands of people. That's fine.
good!
After all, for such a bastard, as long as he does a good deed, everyone will praise him for changing his mind and being kind in his heart!
But if you really want to become a saint who helps the world, all you need to do is make a little mistake!
People all over the world will jump out immediately, point at your nose and curse: Look! I said this guy is not a good thing, and now the fox’s tail is finally exposed!
Therefore, Xiao Han's ambition has always been to become a person like Cheng Yaojin in front of him! He has a messy character and is full of problems, but he can live the most comfortable and longest life in this intrigues and intrigues in the court!
Others, like Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others, would have died early, or they would not even be able to live in peace after death, and would be dragged out of their graves and whipped again.
It was already afternoon when Cheng Yaojin left.
Because today is the Chinese New Year, those who gave money have already left, and now the whole street seems empty. Not to mention people, not even a dog can be seen!
Standing in front of the horse-tying post, Xiao Han waved goodbye to Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin, who was riding unsteadily on the horse, waved his whip and threw a whip in the air. When the horse's front foot was in the air and was about to carry him out, he smiled slyly at Xiao Han.
"I'm leaving! Stay at home and help the people with the old man. Don't worry about things outside!"
