There were cicada sounds on the trees in the courtyard.
Brother Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo were chatting together under the verandah, listening to Cheng Chumo talking about his first battle as a fledgling, how he killed the Turkic wolf cubs crying for their father, and how he used the Turkic heads on Long Mountain.
A small Jingguan was built on the level.
People who didn't know better thought they were hearing about Huo Qubing's decision to seal Langjuxu.
On the tables were iced watermelon fished out of a well, and iced plum soup.
It can be seen that Cheng Chumo is very proud and enjoys the bloody romance on the battlefield. Even after returning from this trip, this guy seems to have sublimated and is a little different.
"Originally, I thought that after I came back to deliver the mission, I would ask Ying to serve in front of Huo Guogong's army in Longyou, or to serve in the office of Governor Xiao and Li. Unfortunately, His Highness asked me to escort him to the North Gate Flying Cavalry to worship him."
Even his father Cheng Yaojin did not agree with him going to the border.
"In the seventh year of the great cause, countless people in Shandong rose up singing the song of "undirected wandering to Liaodong". I, Aye, was only 21 years old at the time and had just become a man, but I also spent my family wealth to recruit hundreds of children from the countryside to protect the country and the people. Later, I joined the army.
Wagang Benshichong returned to the Tang Dynasty and fought more than a hundred battles. Now he is only thirty-six years old. Why don't you think he will let me go to the battlefield?"
"I am also eighteen years old. I beheaded 117 Turkic barbarians in Longyou!"
Cheng Chumo got a little emotional as he said this, "Do you have any wine?"
"It should be ready for business in two months at most."
"Hmph." Fan Xuanfu snorted coldly, then turned his back and began to undress.
"Thank you very much. We have hired a lot of people now, so there is no shortage of manpower."
Huaiyu also felt that his words were a bit overbearing and he chuckled awkwardly, "I'll check your wounds and change your dressing. I don't mean anything else."
"Go in, my aunt will be inside."
There was silence in the back room for a while, "I can do it myself."
"I have taken a fancy to a small courtyard in Yankangfang. It is about the same size as the courtyard in Huaiyi and smaller than Erlang's courtyard. I will move here when it is ready. In the future, we brothers will also have a companion, so that we can travel easily.
"
Huaiyu went straight inside. Fan Xuanfu was a little panicked when he saw him breaking in.
Cheng Chumo picked up the bowl and took a big sip, shouting happily, "It tastes much better than this plum soup."
Huaiyu didn't lead the horse, nor did he wear Jianggong uniform. He walked around the street in white shirt. After strolling around, he came to the side door of Fan's house.
"Come with me!"
To put it bluntly, this is actually sweet wine. People in Guanzhong like to brew it with new wheat. It is the beer of the Tang Dynasty people, also called Li.
Huaiyu was stunned and said so ruthlessly, "I thought you were a heroic girl, but it turns out you are a coward!"
"You shouldn't have come." She still said the same thing, her voice cold.
"I brought some ointment, which can speed up wound healing and remove scars after applying it."
Making Xiangjizi is extremely simple, but as long as you can squeeze into the mid-to-high-end market in Chang'an, the profit will be greater than selling medicine. After all, medicine cannot be taken by everyone every day, but this facial oil and hand balm is said to be able to beautify skin and leave fragrance.
Things like bath beans are used every day.
A familiar voice came from behind a screen, "You shouldn't have come."
"Okay," Cheng Chumo looked at the busy pharmacy in the front yard, "I, Aye, ordered the medicine from you last time. When will it be ready? I, Aye, have been thinking about it."
"It has been prepared and is about to be sent. I have recently made some new medicines here, including Jiuzhuanhuangjingdan, which can replenish the spleen and replenish qi and treat diet, reduce yellowish complexion, hunger, and thinness, black plum pill, which can repel worms and stop dysentery, and other medicines that can dispel worms and relieve diarrhea in summer.
You can take some mosquito-repellent incense and scented soap that can cleanse your face and leave fragrance on your hands back for use." Huaiyu's new products were specially made into small trial packages and presented to the Wu family, Cheng family, Qin family, Li family, etc.
, promotion advertising.
"It still cost me some money, so I'll give you a red stone as a reward."
He stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
"I'm going out for a walk."
"I came back yesterday and heard my Aye say that Erlang, you also cured Uncle Qin's illness. It's really amazing. I went to visit him specially. He couldn't get up from his bed before I left. Now he can ride his beloved horse again.
Suddenly Lei Peo is running with an iron gun, and he can immediately look back at the moon and hit the target with perfect accuracy."
The old man brought him in. There was a maid waiting inside, and she asked him to follow her coldly. She followed him through the door and through the courtyard, and came to a courtyard where a young maid was waiting.
"Run Niang steamed some wheat rice and made some float wine a few days ago, which is just ready to eat,"
When Cheng Chumo left, he carried several large and small bags and returned home fully loaded.
Huaiyu stood at the door to say goodbye to them, then turned around and asked Runniang to return to the courtyard.
A few people drank float wine and talked about Xue Wanche's assassination yesterday.
"Take off your clothes."
Huaiyu felt that her snort seemed to have a bit of the shyness of a little daughter, and it was not the same Fan Xuanfu who slashed with a horizontal sword and killed a horse with one blow.
"Hey." Fan Xuanfu sighed, "Wu Erlang, I don't want you to die because of me."
Huaiyi drank the float wine and didn't say much. He knew that Huaiyu didn't do things just for money. At that time, he was watching from the side, and he was indeed a little gloating in his heart. He didn't think about taking action. Now that he thinks about it, he is still pregnant.
Yu was right, he, the Imperial Guards Hundred Cavalry, saw the assassination of a third-grade minister of the current dynasty. If he did not save his life, he would definitely be held accountable afterwards.
Fan Xuanfu appeared in Huaiyu's mind again, especially when he put medicine on her clothes last night. She crossed the line on whether she should look at it or not, and where she should touch it. Even the two of them hugged each other on the couch at the end.
Sleeping together, these things made him lingering.
Huaiyu took action to resolve this trouble and also earned Xue Wanche 300 pieces of silk.
"It's better for me to do it. I'll take a look at the injury and maybe adjust the medication. You're seriously injured and it's no joke."
"No, there was an assassination yesterday. It's not very peaceful outside now. There are officers and soldiers everywhere searching for you. It's not convenient for you as a woman."
Yankangfang is next to the east of Huaiyuanfang and south of Guangdefang. Cheng Chumo bought a house here. It was a small house. It was obviously because the Huaiyi brothers lived here. Otherwise, Huaidefang and Cheng Mansion were so big.
There's no need for him to come here.
In summer, it only takes one day and one night of fermentation before the wine is ready to drink.
I don’t know how she is doing now. Has she returned home? Is her injury better? Do you want to go to the Fan Mansion opposite to visit her?
"I heard that the assassin chopped off Xue Wanche's horse head with a sword, and I immediately thought of one person, that mother-in-law of the Fan family." Cheng Chumo lowered his voice and laughed, "But it is said that the Yongzhou Yamen has already been to the Fan family, and Gao Biejia even saw it with his own eyes
After seeing the female bug next to Fan Xing, I have dispelled my suspicions about her. The female bug was so seriously injured yesterday that even if she escaped, she would not be so intact and normal."
As for his personal grudge with Xue Wanche, this should be discussed in the long term.
"This is all about skill." Cheng Chumo said with a smile. "I heard that you have chosen a land in Dongshi to build your own pharmacy. When will it open, I will come to congratulate you."
"Who do you think the assassin was? He was able to chop down Xue Wanche with a huge horse-cutting sword, and was stabbed more than a dozen times. This is not an ordinary person." Cheng Chu said with a silent smile, and there was obvious meaning in his tone.
"You are indeed very resourceful. You managed to get such a large piece of land without spending a penny. It is equivalent to nine small shops, and there are houses behind it."
"I'm Wu Huaiyu from across the street. Lady Fan ordered some medicine from me last time and I'm here to deliver it today."
"We are short of manpower. I have a lot of servants. There are also many villagers in the suburbs of Beijing. We can transfer some villagers here."
"Hey, I heard someone said that you dug up a treasure in Dongshi?" Cheng Chumo lowered his voice, "But I also heard that you signed a contract with the Dongshi Department before you dug up the treasure, and you were going to collect the treasure for the Dongshi Department.
The ruins of the city medicine store were cleared out for free, and then they gave you a large piece of land?"
Huaiyu just smiled faintly, "Xue Wanche has been granted the title of General of the Right Leading Army by His Highness after all, and he is still the county magistrate. He was assassinated in front of my brother and me. If we didn't rescue him, we wouldn't be held accountable afterwards.
good-looking,
Besides, Xue Wanche is quite generous. Yesterday he paid me 100 pieces of silk for consultation and another 200 pieces of silk for medicine. It was quite a deal."
Huaiyu followed him into the small courtyard again, passed through several more doors, and finally came to the outside of a house.
He looked at the virtuous Chen Runniang and said with a smile: "This must be the one from Yongkang Duke's Mansion. It's really good. I envy Erlang for another day."
Chen Runniang took the home-brewed float wine, which is also common among the people in Guanzhong. Usually after the wheat harvest in summer, there is a rare few days of leisure, and there is new food at home, so she steams rice with wheat and ferments it with distiller's yeast.
"It's time to change your dressing." Huaiyu stood there.
"Float wine will also work."
Huaiyi also said goodbye and returned to his own courtyard in Guangdefang. He was now on duty for one day and two days off, but instead of having one month off and four months off as before, he was on duty every month. He had just been promoted to the eighth level.
He plans to read more military books when he has time.
"Well, this float wine smells so good."
"I can't hide anything from Brother Cheng. In fact, it's just a little trick. After I made an agreement with the City Department, I secretly buried some jars in the ruins and filled them with some gold and silver..."
"That's called being resourceful." Huaiyu didn't deliberately hide it from him. Anyone who is interested can see this, especially the people from the Dongshi Department. But this kind of thing is not illegal, so what if he knows.
After all, Wu Huaiyu is also the nephew of Duke Ying, and those officials in the East City Department who know the inside story will not deliberately cause trouble to offend him.
The old doorman looked at him several times with some vigilance, and finally replied "wait" and closed the door. After a long time, the old doorman opened the door and looked around the alley outside the door. When he saw that there was only Huaiyu, he said: "
Come with me."
"My dad also told me that you must have dug it up yourself, saying that you are full of tricks."
"Then let's come together to celebrate your new house."
"Then Xue Wanche didn't know who he provoked. He actually caused him to be set on fire in the street and stabbed. But what I admire the most is you, Erlang, who actually went up to save him with a knife and gave him medical treatment."
"Actually, the prescriptions disclosed by the imperial doctors to Yi Guo were quite good, but his concubine mistakenly thought that he needed to take a lot of supplements. As a result, in addition to taking the medicine, he also gave him ginseng soup, which ended up being too much."
Huaiyu pushed open the door and walked in. The room was quiet.
"It's only a few dollars, but you are really good at it. You are like a wolf with nothing. I, Aye, said that if you learn the art of war, you will definitely understand it quickly and have great talent."
The taste is sweet and sour, with a strong aroma of wine. It tastes refreshing and delicious, especially in summer. It is both thirst-quenching and delicious.
Fan Xuanfu turned his back to him, "I had a fever last night. Just pretend those things never happened. You will leave as soon as you finish taking the medicine. Don't meet me again in the future."
Fan Xuanfu stared at Huaiyu, his face slowly turning red.
"Nan Erlang, please pay attention to your safety."
If women and children find it too strong, they can also add some cold boiled water, sour and sweet.
"I will accompany Erlang."
"What did you mean?" Fan Xuanfu turned around, feeling happy and full of joy in the room.
Huaiyu couldn't help but swallowed. The oil lamp in the firewood house was dim last night and he was busy bandaging it, so he really didn't pay much attention to it.
"Young disciple, I'm going to dig out your eyes." Fan Xuanfu's face turned red.
The atmosphere in the room has become a bit indescribable!
