Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 194 Where Can I Find a Sloppy Taoist Priest?
On February [-], the dragon looked up.

There was a loud noise in the sky, and the old man made his debut!More than one person appeared on the stage, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Li Jing, the four princes of the state, visited together.

Old Master Cheng was forthright. Originally, the older brothers discussed going to Fengdiexuan, but Li Jing vetoed it.Li Jing's reasons are also very good, Feng Die Xuan has a foreign dog?It was also because of this that Jin Yu escaped a catastrophe.These few days, Jin Yu basically stays at home, and he keeps recurring in his heart about the red-sleeved tricks, he dare not go to see others, he is very entangled.

"Stinky boy! Come and warm up with two jars of wine first! The rain is really good!" Cheng Yaojin yelled at Jin Yu before he got off his horse.

"It's been prepared a long time ago, and I'll wait for you, Uncle Cheng." Jin Yu hurriedly greeted him from the gate.It is said that the visit of these four senior princes is for Jin Yu's face, and the hospitality must not be less courteous.This house has been up for more than half a year, and the gate has not been opened a few times, but it opened today.

"The brat is sensible! The old man likes it!" Cheng Yaojin got off his horse, patted Jin Yu on the shoulder twice, and then made a gesture of invitation to Li Jing, "Old man, please first!"

Jin Yu was patted twice by Cheng Yaojin, his shoulders really hurt, he rubbed his shoulders with a smiling face before saluting to others.

Hu Yue showed dissatisfaction, thinking that Cheng Yaojin had robbed him of his role, but he really didn't dare to mutter anything, so he went to lead the horse with his servants.By the way, it's raining in spring, so you can't tie the beloved horses of the princes to the horse tethering stone outside to get wet, right?
Li Jing handed over the reins of the horse, and walked ahead without hesitation, "The road in Jinjiazhuang is better, the road outside the city is a bit muddy."

"The old man has missed the prize." Jin Yu followed the four princes, but thanks to the old man Qin, he sent someone to notify him in advance. Jin Yu cleaned the vegetable garden on the other side of the tea garden. Teeth.

"Huaiyu's eye disease, Tang has to worry about it." A pair of glasses, the Qin family can afford, but what is missing is that insight. Without Jin Yu's idea of ​​such a trick, Qin Qiong would not be able to figure it out even if he bought all the water jade in the world. Is this why?
"What is the father-in-law talking about? The son-in-law and Huaiyu are brothers and sisters, and it is worth thanking." Jin Yu hurriedly cupped his hands, expressing that he could not afford it.To be honest, I have been in Chang'an for so long, without Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huaimo, Jin Yu wouldn't even have a fart to chat with.Cheng and Qin accompanied Jin Yu to fart and chat, and passed the time. From this aspect, Jin Yu really wanted to thank them.

"Oh? Guitang can also cure eye diseases?" Qin Qiong was used to being open and upright, and besides, this was not something shameful, so he spoke to Jin Yu in a loud voice, and Li Jing could hear him clearly.

"It's just a trick, it's just a trick." Jin Yu said modestly, admitting that he knew a little bit.

Cheng Yaojin was dissatisfied after hearing this, so he gave Jin Yu a sideways glance, and taught him a lesson: "Small tricks? Why can't others? Yes, you are a humble bird?"

Jin Yu bullied Cheng Huaimo, now that his father came to ask for a bill, Jin Yu could only listen. "Yes, yes. My nephew only knows part of it, not all eye diseases."

"I've been blinded for a long time, and now I can't see the characters as big as copper coins. I wonder if Gui Tang can heal the old man?" Li Jing really cared this time, he was about to celebrate his [-]th birthday, and his ears He is not deaf and has good teeth, but his eyes are too dazzling.

"Maybe it works, my nephew will check it out for you in a while." Jin Yu didn't dare to bite too hard, the eyes are a delicate organ, if it's just presbyopia, it's just a pair of reading glasses.

"That's good! Haha! Come on, let me take a look now!" Although this presbyopia doesn't affect your health, can't you bear it?Li Jing needs to review documents every day, and the servants hold them from a distance. The servants are tired, and he is also tired.

"Success." The boss had something to say, and Jin Yu had no reason to refuse.Jin Yu cupped his hands and said to the remaining three people: "Please trouble my father-in-law and the two uncles to wait a moment."

"It's okay to go back to Tang, right? The old man also wants to see it." Li Ji said, perhaps consciously presumptuous, Li Ji continued to explain: "My father is very dazzled, if it is possible, the old man would like to invite Gui Tang Father, look."

"Of course it's okay. Uncle Li is welcome too." Jin Yu heard that he cared about his father, so of course he wouldn't refuse. .

"Stinky boy! I don't invite your father-in-law and old man! Go together!" Cheng Yaojin was not happy anymore, and he didn't talk about drinking to warm up, and yelled to go to gain knowledge together.

"Go together, go together." Jin Yu wiped his sweat subconsciously, "As long as Uncle Cheng doesn't feel crowded."

Qin Qiong had seen the lens before, shook her head helplessly and followed them to Jin Yu's study.

Jin Yu first cleaned his hands, asked Li Jing to sit down, and then placed a book on the desk in front of Li Jing.Now the optical shop is only in the preparatory stage. According to Jin Yu's instructions, Old Man Jia made a lot of lenses of various thicknesses. After Jin Yu brought them back to check whether they met the standards, the business came to his door.

The equipment is a bit crude, a pair of glasses frames with lower frames, just put the lenses in and lightly lock them, and then you can try to see if they fit.In the absence of optometry to determine the degree, this is the best way Jin Yu can think of.Even if there is a slight error, it is estimated that customers will not have any medical disputes with the merchant, because this is much clearer than what they saw before!

Li Jing looked at the spectacle frame in his hand with a strange expression, the same expression as when Qin Huaiyu first got it, except that there were more wrinkles on Li Jing's face.

First the left eye and then the right eye, Li Jing finally chose the right lens under Jin Yu's fiddling.Wearing the test glasses, Lao Li was very excited. How many years has it been since he saw what was in front of him clearly?Looking at Jin Yu's small characters written with a quill pen, Old Li Lian praised: "Good! That's great! It's very clear that this is what I want!"

"Old man, this is just for optometry, how about my nephew finishing it and sending it to your house?" Jin Yu said with a bitter face.These lenses are to be preserved as specimens. After all, there may be some discrepancies between the theoretical value and the actual value. Preserving first-hand samples can prevent latecomers from doing useless work.

"Oh? No problem! It's the old man's birthday in three days, so Guitang can just take this as a birthday gift!" Li Jing was very reasonable, and he was very polite about robbing.What is a birthday gift?The younger generation sends the elders away, and there is no elder to celebrate the birthday of the younger generation. In other words, it is the kind of `````` that never returns.
"Success, three days is three days!" It is not a bad thing for Jin Yu to be able to hug the leg of the Great Tang Army God. At most, the first month's dividend of the optical shop is gone. "My nephew will measure the interpupillary distance for you again. Look this way." Jinyu's cottage is relatively capable, and all the small things that imitate the optical shops of later generations are used. They are inconspicuous but practical.

"It's the first time I've seen water jade made into something like this, tsk tsk, the brat has a lot of tricks! Why is his head so long? I really want to pry it open to see!" Cheng Yaojin took the lens in the box and looked at it. Strangely, there was an urge to open Jinyu's head to explore while speaking.

"Brother Huaimo didn't tell you?" Jin Yu didn't care about Cheng Yaojin's rough hands and feet. If he accidentally broke it, would Cheng Huaimo dare to ask the old man for debts?Right now, for the safety of his own head, Jin Yu sold Cheng Huaimo very shamelessly!

"This has something to do with Huaimer? The trick he came up with?" Cheng Yaojin asked in surprise with a look of disbelief.

"These are all made by Zhenbao Pavilion." Jin Yu said, pointing to the lens.Cheng Huaimo wouldn't have the brains to invent lenses, but with so many people guarding him, Jin Yu naturally wouldn't belittle Cheng Huaimo to make Cheng Yaojin unable to come to Taiwan.

"That brat didn't mention it to the old man!" Cheng Yaojin was not unhappy when he heard the news. The Zhenbao Pavilion had already been handed over to Cheng Huaimo.

"It's only in the experimental stage, and it can't be considered a formal operation yet. Maybe Brother Huaimo wants to announce the good news to Uncle Cheng when you're done." Jin Yu made a little excuse for Cheng Huaimo. ,Right?

"Well, since it was made by the old man's family, there is no reason for you to be a human being." Cheng Yaojin nodded, and said shamelessly: "The two pieces of the old man are the birthday gift from the old man, and you will think about it differently." Birthday gift, anyway, you have a lot of tricks!"

Li Jing laughed and scolded: "You Zhijie are too thick-skinned! Why are you robbing me from the younger generation?"

"Just snatch it, what's the matter? Does he dare to bite the old man?" Cheng Yaojin did not deny that he had a thick skin and was quite proud of it.After the wasted life was over, Cheng Yaojin didn't forget about Li Ji, he turned his head and said, "Brother Li, wait for the brat to try the water jade for our father, and just take it from the Zhenbao Pavilion, it's my old Cheng's filial piety to our father!"

The few princes present here have good family backgrounds, so they really don't necessarily care about the money, but it's rare that they are so considerate, and Li Jing of course rushed to express his thanks.

"Return to Tang, take the old man to see that foreign dog." Seeing the two of them being courteous, Li Jing got up and told Jin Yu.

The old man has an order, and Jin Yu dare not disobey, but the ugly words must be said first: "Old man, this wild dog just gave birth to a cub, and it protects the nest very well, so I'm afraid it won't be close to you."

"It's okay, let's go and have a look." Li Jing was already sixty years old, and his mind was very calm, and there was no sense of forcing in his words.

Hearing Li Jing said that he was going to see the dog, Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji were also interested in coming. Today, they came here for the little Tibetan mastiff. If they couldn't see it, it would be a waste of their trip.Cheng Yaojin took the lead, "Brothers have come all the way, how can there be no reason not to let me go? The old man walks ahead, how dare the wild dog bite the old man?"

The study room is not far from the delivery room of the Tibetan mastiff, and you can see it from the aisle door.After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he regretted it. To be honest, during the autumn hunting, he hunted wolves, leopards and so on, but it was the first time he saw such a big dog!

The lion was a circle bigger than when it was in the autumn hunt, and it lay lazily at the door of the side room. When it saw Jin Yu bringing a few dukes in, it just glanced up, and then continued to doze off.

"What a fierce dog!" Li Ji said with emotion.Although you all have hounds in your family, those are carefully selected Chinese pastoral dogs. How can they grow to such a big size?
Li Jing also nodded in agreement.When he was almost at the door of the room, Jin Yu blocked everyone behind him, and then apologized: "Uncles, you can't go any further. If you go any further, the lion will bite you."

Cheng Yaojin said something just now, of course he couldn't admit it at this time, he didn't listen to Jin Yu's wave, and took a step forward.Although it was only a step beyond the boundary, the lion woke up with a start and stood up with an attacking posture.Even the breeze and light rain can't stop the momentum of the lion.

In the presence of a few old friends, it would be shameful to draw a knife with a beast. Besides, the lion is just on guard and intimidating, and has no intention of moving forward.Unable to bully the lion, Cheng Yaojin turned to yell at Jin Yu: "Stinky boy! Can't you see the old man's joke? Why don't you hurry up and hold this fierce dog!"

At this time, the lion is absolutely mighty, and its front feet are probably higher than Jin Yu's.Jin Yu negotiated with the lion in the past, and the lion gave in reluctantly.Instead, he put away his attacking posture, but squatted at the door and blocked the door firmly, still not letting in.

Jin Yu spread his hands and said that he had no choice but to explain to Cheng Yaojin: "Uncle Cheng, this little dog is weak and can't stand the cold. This dog's parents protect the cub, and my nephew is no different."

Old Cheng didn't say anything, Li Jing said: "Forget it, don't worry for a while, it won't be like this after the full moon, right?"

"How can it? The full moon will definitely be fine." Jin Yu bowed his hands to Li Jing, thanking him for giving him such a step, then turned to Cheng Yaojin and said, "Uncle Cheng, why don't we sit first?"

"Hmph!" Cheng Yaojin expressed his dissatisfaction with a certain outlet organ on his face, but he did not refuse.

The task of accompanying wine is very difficult, especially among the four nationalists, three of them are bandits who eat large pieces of meat and drink in large bowls.When the wine was half drunk, Jin Yu's face was already flushed, and his hands and feet were a little out of order.If it weren't for his own home, Jin Yu would definitely not drink so much.

When men are together, the topic will never leave women, but it is between men of the same age.With a 60-year-old man and three military commanders in their prime, the topic of women was naturally replaced by the military.

"This Turkic is also flat, who should be the next one? I'm bored at home all day, and I'm almost moldy!" Cheng Yaojin muttered dissatisfiedly, looking like a militant.In fact, the generals in the early Tang Dynasty really liked to fight, and every battle represented a reward, no one would think that their status was low, right?
"Gaoguryeo, right?" Li Ji took a sip of his wine and analyzed: "Last year, the corpses discarded in the south of the city by the previous conquest of Goguryeo were collected, and the year after that, His Majesty went to Kunming Lake to inspect the water army. The meaning of this is obvious. "

"It's hard to say." Qin Qiong shook her head, "I'm afraid the test of Goguryeo is more involved, and now our confidant of the Tang Dynasty is still in the west."

"Last year, the war against the Turks brought out the might of my Tang Dynasty. Now all the western tribes are docile like grandsons. What a pleasure! I'm afraid there is nothing in the west that dares to provoke our Tang Dynasty? Not even a single tribe can Bear the wrath of His Majesty today." Li Ji got drunk and argued with Qin Qiong.

"Not necessarily." Due to his health, Li Jing didn't drink much. He shook his head after hearing what Li Ji said, and said, "Now that we have the cement method that was given to Tang Xian, we have already built several small cities in Hexi. As long as there are more In two years, Hexi will be as solid as gold. But what about the west of Hexi? What about Tubo?"

Speaking of Jin Yu's credit, Qin Qiong also had a bright face, and nodded with a smile on his beard, but did not speak.

"Tubo? Aren't they all savages over there? Small tribes one after another." Cheng Yaojin asked back, his family has a caravan, and although the tribes there don't have much money, they have a lot of skins. If you sell some to Tang Dynasty, there will be several double the price difference.

"Savages also produce smart people!" Li Jing sighed, "The last time Brother Cheng was celebrating his birthday, Gui Tang mentioned Tubo, and the old man took it seriously. I asked a perennial businessman to find out, and now there is a man named Songzan over there." Ganbu has already begun to unify the various tribes of Tubo, and the day of becoming a big country is just around the corner."

"What? Songtsan Gampo?!" Jin Yu was startled with a normal reflex, and his voice was a little loud.

"Have you heard of Gui Tang?" Li Jing was a little surprised by Jin Yu's reaction and asked.

Jin Yu was already drinking too much, Qin Qiong told him to keep a low profile, and he had already thrown it out of the sky.Jin Yu nodded, his tongue was a little big, "I've heard that this cadre is a great man! First he unifies the ministries, then creates characters, relocates the capital, improves people's livelihood, and proposes marriages with major countries. If he disagrees, he will send troops Attacking, you are very rascal." What Jin Yu said was a compulsory test in history textbooks for later generations, so he had some impressions, but he forgot what year it was.

"Stinky boy! Where did you hear the rumors about things that haven't been filmed yet?" This time it was not Cheng Yaojin who spoke out, but Qin Qiong.Jin Yu's words made him tremble, and he almost pulled his beard off. Although he knew that his son-in-law had some skills, it was a taboo to praise a king of a foreign race, and he might go to war because of it, so Qin Qiong said so , and the following stepped on Jin Yu with his foot as a warning.

"Oh~" Jin Yu's feet were attacked, he learned how to howl like a wolf, and he woke up for a little while, calmed down, and then changed his voice to "Oh~~ This is a long story."

Jin Yu glanced at Qin Qiong apologetically, Qin Qiong's words were full of hints, if he didn't continue, Jin Yu would feel sorry for himself.Jin Yu cleared his throat and said: "A few days ago, my nephew met a sloppy Taoist priest at the entrance of the village, and he was so hungry that he didn't want any food. He insisted on eating meat. Look at it, my nephew. It was interesting, so I invited him to have a meal. After eating, he talked a lot, and talked nonsense with my nephew. Songtsan Gampo was what he said. My nephew thought he had seen it with his own eyes, so he believed it. I don't think he wants to fool my little nephew for an extra meal."

"This Taoist priest is interesting, haha!" Li Jing, who had seen a lot of knowledge, laughed it off, didn't go into it further, and gave Jin Yu a step down, and changed the topic back. "Soldiers are the deadliest weapon of the country. Don't think about it blindly, my brothers. When it's time for us to play, His Majesty will speak. We just do our errands well, and it will save you from being caught blind when things come. It's safe."

"The old man's words are right, my brother will toast you!" Qin Qiong was very grateful to Li Jing for smoothing things over, and dragged Li Jing to drink.

Jin Yu secretly wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes, mother, he was too careless, and said something taboo again, these old men will not be dishonest, right?Li Er won't be so stingy that he wants to cut off his own head, right?
Li Erxiao is not stingy, Jin Yu doesn't know, anyway, Mr. Qin was angry, and before leaving, he told Jin Yu very "gentlely", "You boy, let me find that sloppy Taoist priest!"

Jin Yu is embarrassing, where can I find that sloppy Taoist priest?
