Hearing what Jiao Da said, Jia Lan was very surprised. The Xue family actually held the prospecting document?
However...on second thought, this is in line with human nature.
According to folklore, Emperor Gao of the Great Xia Dynasty treated the founding heroes quite well, comparable to those of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Let’s see that after several generations, the four kings and eight princes are still in good order. They are not like Zhu Yuanzhang who massacred the heroes, nor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who spent all his time looking for excuses to kill the heroes and then cut them off from the country.
Wang Jiaben was in charge of the tribute trade, which was such a big deal, but he handed it over as soon as he was told, and even returned key documents such as the contract agreement to the court. This was obviously a show of determination to the emperor.
In reciprocating the favor, it was only natural that the emperor handed over the newly acquired contract documents in his left hand to the Xue family in his right hand.
But...
Jia Lan really doesn't know what to say when he thinks that the Xue family, holding such an important document as a survey document, ended up selling off their property and moving to Shenjing to seek refuge with relatives.
After stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, Jia Lan suddenly remembered something.
Yes, maybe it can still be like this!
"I'm going back first. I won't rest in Beizhuang today."
After thinking about it, Jia Lan stood up and said goodbye to Jiao Da, and said as usual: "You are quite strong, but there is one thing, remember not to drink too much."
It's not that he's verbose, it's just that the wine produced by Beizhuang is distilled wine with extremely high alcohol content and should not be drunk.
"Old man got it!" Jiao Da waved his hand impatiently: "What kind of man does he look like with such long words?!"
Jia Lan laughed and said, "I've already said it. When the time comes, when you drink too much and dance shirtless, don't let others see it. You can afford to disgrace this person, but I can't afford to disgrace him."
”
When the new wine was first released, the sweet aroma made the old man who loved wine and was greedy for wine couldn't hold back the greedy wine bug in his stomach for a while. He drank a pot directly and couldn't stop it. He was drunk immediately and his mouth was full of alcohol.
Li hummed and hahaed, baring his arms and jumping around with little Jialan in his arms, looking like a dancing master.
"Who dares to mention it again!"
When Jiao Da heard this, his face turned red and he began to curse. This incident has become a dark history for him in Beizhuang.
Jia Lan laughed loudly, cupped his hands, and walked away calmly.
As the sun was setting, Jiao Da looked at Jia Lan's walking back and kept muttering.
"The older this guy gets, the less he respects his elders. He's still the cute little boy he was back then!"
At this time, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from the room. When Jiao Da heard it, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he secretly thought it was not good.
Sure enough, after the laughter, a curious voice came out: "Old Jiaotou, can you dance a great dance to feast my eyes?"
Jiao Da Nose took a deep breath, and finally managed to calm down the veins on his forehead. He turned around and looked at the person coming out of the room angrily: "I told you, wait until I call you."
You just came out, how can you make your own decisions?"
The man slowly walked up to Jiao Da, rubbed his hands and took a breath.
Winter is coming to an end, but the weather is still cold. Facing the sunset and looking into the distance, the houses and trees in Beizhuang are covered with a light layer of snow, and they look like they are covered with a white coat. p>
The mountains in the distance are also covered with snow, like an elegant ink painting.
"Everyone has gone away, don't worry, I calculated my time and came out."
"You always make your own decisions like this. I don't know what kind of bad luck you have, and you are still alive today!" Jiao Da turned to look at the other party and snorted coldly.
"There's nothing I can do about it, living a long life is purely a favor from God!"
The man laughed loudly and looked at Jiao Da, who looked unconvinced: "I said, Old Jiao Tou, you are already in your seventies, and you still argue with me about this all day long. Aren't you ashamed?"
Jiao Da bickered with this person for a while, and it was obvious that the two of them had a good relationship.
If Jia Lan could see this person's face clearly, he would be shocked, because this person turned out to be Jia Lan's old friend in Beizhuang!
After the quarrel, the two people sat in the Jiao House and had a drink. The old man's eyes lit up after drinking Beizhuang's fine wine, and he took a breath of wine and praised it full of praise.
"You are lucky to have such a promising master, enjoy it!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Jiao Da said angrily: "You didn't stay at your horse farm and suddenly came here to find me. Is it really just to see Lang Ge'er? Isn't this weird? Lang Ge'er, it's not like you don't have any
Saw it.
Not long ago, when he first came back, he told me that you had left the racecourse, and I don’t know if you resigned and went back to your hometown to die.”
Jiao Da was rude and stared at the old man with a suspicious look, trying to discern something from his expression.
The old man still looked cheerful. He poured a small glass of wine to his mouth and tasted it slowly. After taking a few sips, he drank it in one gulp. After he finished, he peeled a bunch of edamame beans and carefully drank them.
Eating.
"What do you think about Langeer's ambition?"
Just when Jiao Da's patience was about to run out, the old man asked abruptly.
"You were in the back room, didn't you hear it?" Jiao Da curled his lips: "Lange'er made it very clear, he didn't think about it at all."
The old man waved his hand: "The scenery outside the back door of your house is pretty good. I went out for a walk."
"What?!" Jiao Da lost his voice and said, "I told you to stay well, and you actually ran out?! If the embroidered guards in Zhuangzi see you, haven't you thought about the consequences?!"
/p>
"How can I run? I'm just walking around casually. It's not like you don't know my skills.
Okay, okay, stop worrying, what did Langeer say?"
Although Jiao Da looked unhappy, he still told the old man what Jia Lan said word for word.
"What do you think?"
The old man played with the edamame in his hand, raised his eyelids and asked Jiao Da again the same question as before.
Jiao Da's eyes darkened slightly, and he crossed his arms and emphasized his tone: "I think it's all your own random thoughts!"
Afterwards, he said in a lecturing tone: "It has been a hundred years since Daxia was founded. At this time, you are still thinking about the things of the past. You, an old man who is older than me, still can't figure it out?
We are all at this age, we should drink and eat, so what do we care about those troublesome things?"
Jiao Da poured a glass of wine for the other party, and then poured a glass for himself.
"Come on! Let's do it!"
Although he dislikes the other party very much, Jiao Da obviously has a different friendship for Lao Cangtou.
The two clinked glasses to each other.
With the strength of the wine, Jiao Daodao said: "Although I don't know the deep meaning behind your sudden request to ask Lang Ge'er, but... it's better to stop when it's time to stop. There are only a few who survived back then. It’s time for you and me.”
Feeling the concern in Jiao Da's words, Lao Cangtou felt warm in his heart and laughed.
After a long time, he gradually calmed down his expression, put down the cup, and said silently: "Some things would have happened if Lang Ge'er didn't want to. In the past, Song Taizu, whether voluntarily or not, did not end up performing a drama of wearing a yellow robe?"
Bang!
"How dare you?!"
Jiao Da slammed the wine glass on the Eight Immortals table. With a muffled sound, the wine glass immediately fell into pieces.
