Chapter 109 The pragmatic Liu Cong
"Xiao Langjun, this manor is quite good!"
Wang Sheng smiled softly and said, "This is the manor owned by Wang Chuzhong and me. It belongs to the Langya Wang family, so it's certainly not bad."
Langya Wang family!
Liu Cong's eyes flashed.
It's no wonder that this young man was able to quarrel with the scholars in the palace. It must have been the Langya Wang family who gave him a platform.
Although Wang Sheng came from a poor family, he was not without a backer.
Liu Cong was followed by two bodyguards who were as strong as mountains. They wore tight-fitting Hu uniforms, which were very different from the uniforms worn by the guards of high-ranking families in this era.
Judging from their appearance, they are obviously not pure Han people. Judging from Liu Cong's background, these people should be Huns.
With a strong back and a heavy waist, and hands covered with calluses, it seems that the archery skills of these two guards are not bad.
After taking Liu Cong into the lobby of the Neizhuang, Qingye brought the tea early.
In the past few months, Wang Sheng had time to make some tea that could be brewed, so there was no need to boil it.
Liu Cong was still a little surprised when he saw this kind of brewed tea.
"Lang Jun, don't you want to boil this tea?"
cook?
Wang Sheng shook his head gently.
"The tea itself has been stir-fried, so it doesn't need to be boiled. The taste is much more fragrant than boiled tea."
"oh?"
Liu Cong was doubtful.
In fact, the Huns did not have the habit of drinking tea. In this era, tea was only gradually becoming popular among high-ranking families. For example, Liu Cong, who entertained guests in Yecheng, always used goat milk, steamed mutton, etc.
Compared with light tea, Liu Cong still thinks goat milk tastes better.
Picking up the light blue tea, Liu Cong took a sip.
Huh?
Liu Cong was slightly surprised.
The taste of this tea is different from what he thought!
He came to Luoyang for a trip. Along the way, he made many friends and naturally drank a lot of tea, but the tea was not as delicious as this tea.
Tea can fully release all its characteristics through brewing.
Tea drinkers can also fully understand all the characteristics of this tea through the direct reduction method of brewing.
Whether it's good or bad.
You can use the tureen brewing method and use your lips and tongue to communicate deeply and directly to your soul with a cup of tea.
As for making tea, although it has a stronger sense of ritual.
Like in Langya Bang, everyone has a big bowl with charcoal burning under it, and everyone who comes comes uses a long-handled spoon to scoop out tea and drink it.
Even the lines are similar to ": Guests come to drink tea on a cold night."
"It's snowing tonight, can you have a drink?"
The ancient style and charm were slow in the past.
However, Liu Cong did not have this leisurely elegance after all. He preferred the taste of making tea to making tea.
Putting down the teacup gently, Liu Cong looked directly at Wang Sheng.
He came to see Wang Sheng not just for tea.
As for the very clear goal, there is actually no one.
He came to see Wang Sheng because he had some confusion in his heart, or in other words, he wanted to make acquaintance with Wang Sheng and discover the extraordinary things about Wang Sheng.
Of course, there is a more important point.
Wang Sheng came from a poor family. In this era, the difference between a high family and a poor family is huge.
Even if the young man of the Wang family has great talent, it is still difficult to get ahead in Luoyang.
His ancestor was Yu Fuluo, the Chanyu of the Southern Huns, and his grandfather was Liu Bao, the Xianwang of Zuo.
His father, Liu Yuan, is now in charge of five Xiongnu tribes. Although he has no say in the Han court, he still has one-third of an acre of land in Yecheng and has a certain say in it.
If this young man is really talented, you might as well dig him out.
The Han people are cunning and wise. If the Huns want to compete with them, in addition to learning from them, I am afraid they also need to recruit more talents.
If you, the Han court, do not want talents, then I will help you acquire them.
"Tea is good tea."
Liu Cong raised his head slightly, his eyes were very clear. Under the yellow and black skin, there were exploding muscles. One glance would tell you the power contained inside.
"Young Master, do you have any plans for the future?"
What are the future arrangements?
Wang Sheng was slightly startled and immediately understood what Liu Cong meant.
"Take one step at a time."
"One step at a time?"
Wang Sheng's answer made Liu Cong stunned for a moment.
He thought Wang Sheng had long-term plans!
For Wang Sheng, he did have a long-term arrangement, but this arrangement was not careful.
It cannot be arranged carefully.
After all, Zhuge Liang's ingenious tricks are limited to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There are people in the world who are as good at predicting events, but they are too few.
Wang Shengzhi is not such a person and has never seen such a person.
Even if Wang Sheng had detailed arrangements, he would naturally not tell Liu Cong.
He and Liu Cong just met once and they confided in each other?
How is this possible!
"Xiao Langjun has no arrangements?"
Wang Sheng picked up the tea cup, his face was very quiet.
"No arrangements."
Liu Cong's eyes flashed slightly, but he said with a smile: "I have heard about Xiao Langjun's deeds before. He was able to fight with the Confucian scholars in the palace of the Crown Prince, and he won, and he gained the respect of His Royal Highness. His future is bound to be extraordinary.
, not to mention that Xiao Langjun’s magical moves two days ago made Han Shou deeply impressed by Xiao Langjun. How could such a person have no arrangements? "
"I do not believe!"
Wang Sheng laughed and said nothing.
Only now did Liu Cong realize that Wang Sheng didn't have a plan, but that he didn't want to tell him about the plan.
"I took the liberty."
He and Wang Sheng met by chance, so naturally there was no in-depth communication.
This situation attracted Wang Sheng's attention even more.
"It's because I didn't entertain you well."
Liu Cong shook his head gently.
"I think I, young man, don't know my temperament, Liu Xuanming. Although I am not a Han, I grew up in the land of the Han and live the same life as you Hans. I also have the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the metaphysics of Lao and Zhuang.
involved.”
Liu Cong is a Huns who has been Sinicized. However, even a Huns who have been Sinicized are still Huns after all!
Liu Cong's intention was nothing more than to win over Wang Sheng.
Liu Cong will be the monarch of Han and Zhao in the future, but...
How could Wang Sheng follow him?
Liu Cong is famous for his cruelty, and he is not a Han...
Taking a sip of tea, Wang Sheng said softly: "Brother Xuanming is very talented, and I naturally know it. Instead of talking about these unnecessary things, let's talk about some serious matters."
Business?
Liu Cong had a look of interest on his face.
He was originally very disgusted with the mysterious talk of this era.
What's the use of gathering around and spitting when a group of people are full and have nothing to do?
It's better to do some practical things and get down to business!
From the beginning to now, Liu Cong has been a pragmatic person.
"I heard that Brother Xuanming traveled from Yecheng. I wonder what the scenery was like along the way?"
Scenery?
Liu Cong shook his head gently.
"The high-ranking family has fat bellies and the people are hungry, but there is no disaster or disease. Many people are willing to be slaves to the high-ranking family. This is something I don't quite understand."
No one in the world wants to be born a slave.
"Just to survive."
Wang Sheng sighed softly.
These are the working people of ancient China.
As long as you can survive, what will happen if you become a slave?
Of course, if they can't survive, it's time for the princes and generals to settle down.
