Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 161 The son-in-law of the Qi country is devouring the master! (4K)

After coming out of Duke Qi's Palace, Zai Yu was so dizzy from drinking that he and Zi Gong wanted to go back to the hotel directly to rest.

However, Tian Heng was so enthusiastic that he insisted on inviting them to his house for another second half.

Therefore, Zaiyu and Zigong had no choice but to accept his invitation in line with the industry's bad habit of drinking happily with customers.

But this is also impossible.

As the saying goes, taking people is short, eating people is short.

Tu Qiu's development budget for next year must be directed at the future Tian clan master.

For Tuqiu's livelihood, Zaiyu and Zigong couldn't get half drunk even if they drank to death on the wine table today.

They staggered all the way to Tian Heng's mansion in the car.

Before entering the door, they saw people coming and going in front of Tian Heng's house. It was so lively that it didn't look like a place for people to live in, but it looked like a noisy market.

Zai Yu just cast a questioning look at Tian Heng, Tian Heng smiled and explained to him.

"I like to support scholars on weekdays. These are my family's diners. Although they are not as talented and knowledgeable as the two of you, they are also talented people with their own strengths."

Zigong was half drunk at the moment, and he forgot all the etiquettes he had kept in mind all the time.

He raised his sleeves to fan the wind, and asked casually: "There are countless doctors from all over the world who like to support scholars, but you have too many diners, right? How many people are there in total?"

Tian Heng also drank a lot today. He was fined by the Marquis of Qi to drink alcohol from the very beginning, and later because he attacked Yanzi, during the banquet, he was persuaded to drink again and again by some officials who were always close to Yanzi.

That is to say, Tian Heng usually practiced drinking capacity. If he hadn't been trained, he might have been knocked down early in the morning.

Tian Heng hiccupped, waved his hands, and responded with a big smile.

"Not many, not many, my diners are only 300 people."

"three hundred?"

Zaiyu stared and said: "My Tuqiu family is only 300 households, but Tianzi has [-] diners for you. The Tian family is indeed a big family in Qi!"

Tian Heng said while hiccupping.

"Hahaha! No big family, Zai Zi, your Tuqiu population is small, it's just that you don't want it.

If you want it, why don't you just have it?

I remember you said at the banquet that you wanted a blacksmith?
Looking back, I will find a way to find dozens of blacksmiths and ask them to return to Tuqiu with you. Isn't there such a person? "

Zaiyu laughed drunkenly: "My Tuqiu is a rural place, far less prosperous than Linzi. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find dozens of households willing to follow me?"

Tian Hengdao: "If it's normal, the artisans are of course reluctant to part with Linzi's prosperity. But there are always special circumstances, aren't there?
Among the people in Linzi, who has not received the favor of our Tian family?

Among the people of Qi, who has not benefited from our Tian family?

The small ones have received the rice of Shengdou.

The big ones were also able to escape the murder because of Tian.

The year before last, several furnaces in the iron smelting workshop collapsed, and the molten iron in the furnaces flowed into the streets of Linzi, almost setting all the houses in Dongshi on fire.

The king was furious when he knew this, and ordered all the craftsmen who were working in the workshop to be executed at that time.

Thanks to my father's strong dissuasion, the lives of the craftsmen were saved.

Since then, they have been wanting to repay Tian, ​​but their father has never agreed.

As long as you want someone, I will talk to the craftsmen later, and they will definitely be willing to go to Tuqiu with you.

As for the monarch, you don't have to worry, he appreciates you so much, if you ask a craftsman to leave, there shouldn't be any problems. "

Zai Yu originally thought that today was just for drinking, but he didn't expect that there would be so many surprises.

It has to be said that Tian's method of buying people's hearts does have a set of methods.

If Zaiyu hadn't read the history books and knew about Tian's subsequent operations, he would have been almost moved.

The Tian family is different from Han, Zhao and Wei in Jin.

Han, Zhao and Wei were able to divide the Jin Dynasty into three families, basically by fighting with their fists.

The Tian family is an expert in conspiracies and tricks, and their history of prosperity is somewhat like the Sima family replacing Wei.

Maybe it shouldn't be said that, it should be that the Sima family replaced Wei rather like the Tian family replaced Qi.

Because according to the chronological order, it is obvious that the Tian family came first.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the evaluation of the Tian family and Dai Qi in the history books of later generations has always been inferior to that of the three families.

After all, no matter how you say it, the Tian family and the Qi country can't escape the four words of gaining the country and not rectifying it.

For a family like Tian's who has a tradition of playing tricks, how dare Zaiyu take it lightly?
The three drunks stepped out of the carriage shoulder to shoulder, and walked into the door with the support of the servants.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman in dark blue clothes and a jade hairpin pinching her waist and furiously yelling at a man.

"You said that you found a job as a clerical writer in the palace for you, but you didn't do it!
If you are asked to plow the fields, you are too tired!
Do you really think that our Tian family is raising idlers? "

Zaiyu and Zigong clicked their tongues when they saw this wonderful sight.

"This……"

When Tian Heng saw it, he laughed and ran up to smooth things over. He walked up to the woman and tried to persuade her in a nice voice.

"Sister, stop scolding. If he doesn't want to do it, then he won't do it. Why do you have to force him to do it?"

The woman glared at Tian Heng angrily, then raised her sleeves to cover her nose.

"You still have the nerve to say it! You came back drunk again, too lazy to talk to you!"

After finishing speaking, the woman snorted, turned her head and left, without any intention of saving face for Tian Heng.

Seeing this, Tian Heng could only sneer, then groped from his sleeve for a while, took out a small bag containing money and handed it to the man being scolded.

"Don't just stand around stupidly. Hurry up and take the money and go to Dongshi to buy some gadgets she likes and come back. It's not that you don't understand sister's temperament. If you don't make her happy, you plan to Did you sleep well?"

After hearing this, the man quickly took the money bag from Tian Heng's hand, and said gratefully, "Zi Chang, thank you very much today."

Tian Heng blinked at him, and said with a smile: "We are all a family, don't be polite to me, you and my elder sister have a good relationship, and I can avoid being scolded by her."

With that said, the man hurried out the door with the purse in hand.

Tian Heng is used to such situations, but Zaiyu and Zigong are dumbfounded.

Although they have always known that the status of women in Qi State is high, isn't it a bit too much to point their husbands' noses and yell at them?
Seeing that they were puzzled, Tian Heng smiled and explained to them.

"Duanmuzi, Zaizi, don't get me wrong. Not all of us women in Qidi are like my sister...

no, no...

My sister is fine too...

No, I didn't say that when you marry a wife, you also have to marry my sister...

No, I didn't mean to slander my sister..."

Tian Heng had already drank too much wine, but when he suddenly explained, he really meant to get himself involved.

In the end, he simply avoided his elder sister and directly talked about their customs in Qidi.

"There is a custom in our country of Qi that the eldest daughter of the family cannot be married, but must stay at home to preside over sacrifices, called Wu'er.

Because they cannot get married, the only way to solve major marriage issues is to recruit a foreign spouse.

The man you saw just now is my elder sister's husband, and also the son-in-law brought in by our Tian family. "

"The son-in-law?"

When Zaiyu heard this, he suddenly said: "So that's the case! I used to read a book, and I read in the book: Tai Gongwang, Qi Zhi chased his husband.

I used to think that this meant that Grandpa Wang was a man who was exiled by the state of Qi. After a long time of trouble, the old man was a son-in-law of the state of Qi who was expelled from the house! "

Speaking of this, the picture of the crooked Dragon King seen from Chen Tao's phone suddenly appeared in Zai Yu's mind.

Did the originator of the crooked son-in-law start from the grandfather?

The former grandpa, you just ignored your answers.Now grandpa, you can't afford it!

The three-year period has come, welcome the grandpa!
The son-in-law of Qi State devours the Lord!
Zigong glanced at the expression on Zaiyu's face, and knew that this kid must not be thinking of anything good.

He casually gave Jai Yu's head a smack, and scolded: "Grandpa, the old man teaches you in your dreams every day, so you're just going to expose his old background?"

Tian Heng laughed loudly and said, "It's not really a veteran.

After all, this is Taigong's past experience, which is well known in Qi, and there is nothing to hide.

The atmosphere in Qidi is far more open than that in Ludi, so you don't have to worry about it all the time.

Being a son-in-law is not a shameful thing. A man from a poor family cannot marry a wife, so being a son-in-law is a way out!

It's better to come to my Tian family to be your son-in-law than to go out and have nothing to eat, right? "

Hearing this, Zi Gong couldn't help asking: "Then, in Duke Huan's time, there were nine sons-in-law who did not marry. Is this also for the purpose of becoming a witch and staying at home for sacrifices?"

Hearing this, Tian Heng couldn't help but said awkwardly: "Actually, Wu'er didn't say anything about women in the office. After all, there are special officials in charge of the sacrifices in the office."

"Then why don't these nine young ladies marry?"

"This……"

Although Qidi has an open atmosphere, Tian Heng really doesn't dare to answer this question.

Because this is the most embarrassing scandal in the Qi State Office.

The reason why Duke Huan's nine sisters did not marry was because they had a relationship with Duke Huan that went beyond family affection.

In fact, this is not Huan Gong's personal hobby, but it started from the generation of Huan Gong and his elder brother Xiang Gong.

From then on, Qi's office has a tradition of orthopedics, and every few generations there will be some moths.

Fortunately, the current Marquis of Qi doesn't have any preferences in this area, otherwise the officials of Qi would not know how to wipe his ass.

It's okay if you like girls, even if you marry a few more, it's okay, but you can't just eat the grass in front of your own house!

If you eat up the circle around you, who can't see that you are the baldest in front of your house?

Hey, I can only blame the Duke of Qi's pedigree for being really good, both men and women are handsome and beautiful.

This means that hermaphrodites cannot be used, otherwise the Qihous of all dynasties would have to mate themselves!
Tian Heng didn't want to continue chatting on this issue, so he could only divert the topic by talking about drinking.

"Let's not mention this, let's go drink. Although the wine in my house is not as mellow as the king's, it is better in variety.

I wonder if you two want to try the strong millet wine, the fresh and delicious Yuchang, or the lingering cinnamon wine?

Or, in this winter, try my special frustrating cold drink? "

Tian Heng popped up the names of new wines one after another, some of which Zai Yu had never even heard of.

When he was poor and humble in the past, sometimes he was greedy, so he could only buy some thin water wine wine mixed with water.

When you meet a conscientious wine merchant, you can still weigh enough for him.

When meeting someone with no conscience, what they buy back is sour vinegar with some wine flavor.

Zaiyu didn't know which one to choose, so he tilted his head and asked Zigong, "What do you think?"

Although Zi Gong has seen many things from all over the world, he has never drunk the wine Tian Heng mentioned.

"How about some of them?"

Hearing this, Tian Heng laughed and said, "Okay! Then have some!"

The three of them happily walked into the side hall all the way. Just as their buttocks were warming up, they saw a group of maidservants carrying wine spoons and filling up their drinks one by one.

Zaiyu was already drunk, he picked up the wine and Jue didn't want to drink it in one gulp.

As soon as he drank the drink, he felt as if his head had been punched hard, as if his soul was about to float out of his body.

"This, what kind of wine is this?"

Tian Heng picked up the chopsticks, ate a mouthful of food, and replied with a smile: "This is the fine wine Wurztraminer from Chu, it is a fine wine made by mixing azulene with azulejo wine.

It's just that the brewing process of this kind of wine is very complicated, so even I don't have much left in my hand.If it wasn't for the two of you coming today, I would also be reluctant to entertain guests with this fine wine. "

Azulene refers to wild grapes, while Liquor is a top-quality wine made from black millet and tulips.

Azulene is not a rare item, it can be found all over the mountains and plains.

But smelting wine is a very special thing.

When Zhou Tianzi rewarded the princes, there were nine specific gifts, called Jiuxi.

The so-called nine tins are chariots and horses, clothes, Le County, Zhu Hu, Nabi, Huben, axes, bows and arrows, and scorpions.

Wuchang wine is one of the nine tins, which is enough to show how rare and precious this thing is.

"Steam?"

Sure enough, when Zi Gong heard these two words, he was so shocked that he was half sober from the wine.

Tian saw him, and smiled and asked him to sit down: "Don't worry. This scorpion was originally given by the emperor to the king, and the king will occasionally give it to us ministers.

This is not a wine we brewed privately, you two can drink it with confidence. "

Hearing this, Zigong felt a little relieved.

And over there, Zai Yu had already drank another cup.

Zigong was worried about these etiquettes, but Zaiyu never cared about them.

秬鬯?What's the matter?
The emperor can drink this wine, so I can't drink it?

He drank several glasses in a row, savoring the aftertaste of the wine, and suddenly had a novel idea.

A single bottle of wine can make these dignitaries flock to it. If I bring out those wines from later generations, wouldn't it be another big money-making business?
The more Jae Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this line of work had a future.

However, before making wine, it is still necessary to increase the grain output of Tuqiu.

From this point of view, while improving farm tools, digging canals, and irrigating farmland, he had to make a trip to Zhuguo as soon as possible.

The phosphate rock there is a necessary resource for making fertilizers.

Whether Tuqiu's grain production can be doubled depends on it!

　After so many days, I still feel moved when I look at him.

　　He is still my magnificent prince.

　　He looked at me fixedly, with a smile on his face from before, but in his eyes was the sadness of not having a monthly ticket for me.
