Chapter 41 Crow's Mouth (1)

Hongfu had already changed into home clothes at this time, and was reporting on what happened at home in the past six months while the housekeeper Lao Chen was doing.

My son is promising, knows medical skills, writes poetry, and can make wine. He will no longer have to worry about his future. This makes Hongfu, who has always been worried about Li Jing, feel beautiful.

As for why Li Hao suddenly had so many things, Hong Fu felt relieved after watching him demonstrate it once.

As long as it is your own son, as for the soul... who can think about it?

Li Jing's return interrupted Lao Chen's report, and Hongfu smiled and greeted him: "Honey, are you back?"

"Well, where is Dejian? I have something to ask him." Li Jing, who was full of questions, responded perfunctorily and asked about Li Hao's movements.

"I went to the military camp, but I couldn't persuade him. I insisted on adding bricks and tiles to the military construction of the Tang Dynasty." Hongfu explained, noticing that Li Jing was holding the wine jar in his arms and asked, "What is your husband?"

Li Jing took out the wine and handed it to Lao Chen with a strange expression, and said mysteriously: "This is Du Kang wine. It is said that it was brewed based on ancient recipes. I drank some from His Majesty for my husband, which was many times better than the wine I had drunk before. So I tried my best to ask His Majesty for a jar, and specially took it back for my wife to taste..."

Li Jing found that Hongfu's expression was a little distorted when he spoke, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Madam, but what's wrong with you?"

Hongfu stroked his forehead with his hand: "Husband, haven't you asked Your Majesty where did you buy this wine?"

Li Jing said: "I asked, but Your Majesty won't say it."

The housekeeper, Lao Chen, couldn't stand it and said laughing and crying: "Master, this wine is our property. The young master has studied it carefully based on the records in ancient books and completed the recipe. To be disrespectful, the best Du Kang is not in the palace, but in our back house."

Li Jing was instantly struck by lightning and said silently: "What do you mean is this wine... brewed by Dejian? Are the wines in the palace bought from our house?"

Old Chen nodded: "Not that."

No wonder when he asked the emperor for wine, the eunuch Lin Xi smiled so lewdly, no wonder His Majesty the Emperor smiled so meaningfully. It is true that the whole world knows that the wine comes from his own home, and only he doesn't know it.

Hongfu seemed to be afraid that Li Jing would not be able to be Lei, so he continued to increase his investment: "Husband, if you want to say that Dejian is really good at making such good wine, he also joined forces with His Majesty the Emperor to sell 300,000 jars in one go. That would be a profit of 1.5 million knots. Even if we give 50% of the shares in the palace and remove the cost, our family would have 600,000 knots of account."

I understand, now I understand it all.

No wonder His Majesty the Emperor has such a good temper, no wonder the original Minister of Justice was changed to the Minister of War, and it turned out that it was all caused by money.

...

...

Of course, Li Hao didn't really want to add any bricks and tiles to military construction. There were emperors above the Tang Dynasty and generals of the Sixteen Guards below. None of the regava was not his turn.

The reason I came out of my house was because I didn’t want to wait for Li Jing to come back and say what I said to Hongfu again.

Cheng Chumo and Li Hao walked together, sleepy eyes and unhappy face. They muttered as they walked: "Dejian, you are the same. Uncle Li is not going to stay at home honestly when he comes back, so why do you have to go to the military camp?"

"I am dedicated and loving my job. Can't I do what I love?" Li Hao glanced at him and continued, "Besides, you are the captain of the Ling Mansion. You don't go on duty in broad daylight but sleep at home. You don't treat me as a captain as a cadre, right?"

Cheng Chumo said, "You can't help but lose your name. My lieutenant is just a name. If you really want to go to the camp, you will be very upset."

Li Hao thought about it, even though this silly man is good at martial arts, he is not very smart, not like his father.

His father Cheng Yuetie was pretending to be stupid, but Cheng Chumo was really stupid.

If I really go to the military camp every day, I might have something to do. Thinking about it, I asked Xiao Cheng casually: "Chumo, who has the final say in your family?"

Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said, "Of course it's my father."

"Tsk, it's true. Just look at your sister, how is the status of Aunt Cheng's family at home?"

Xiao Cheng changed color: "Li Dejian, what rumors have you heard again?"

Rumor: Family environment creates a person. Just looking at Xiao Cheng's behavior as if a mouse was seen in front of his sister, Li Hao believes that Mrs. Cheng Cui's status in the Cheng family is definitely the kind of person who ruled the country from behind the curtain.

Old Cheng had the final say at home, but if Cui did not nod, he would immediately become arguing.

Cheng Chumo seemed to have some misunderstanding of Li Hao. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he said, "Dejian, my sister is actually a good person, beautiful and good martial arts skills. She just likes to make big mistakes. When she encounters something she doesn't like, she wants to take care of, but these are all the details, right? My mother often says that there must be someone at home who is responsible for trouble, and this is the case with my sister."

Li Hao glanced at Xiao Cheng suspiciously: "Cheng Tieniu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know, my father said that no matter what method is used, you must become my son-in-law of the Cheng family. You must not let the old guy Li Daozong take the lead."

Damn, I'm really a fool, this is too direct.

I'm still a child, is it really good to discuss this?

It was already afternoon when I arrived at the military camp, and Li Hao felt something was wrong.

When he got closer, Li Hao asked the military soldiers guarding the door, "What's going on? Why is the camp gate closed?"

The soldiers looked a little nervous and swallowed: "Du, Duwei, something happened."

What can happen to a good military camp? Li Hao was stunned.

Killing someone? That wouldn't have sealed the camp!

The Turks are coming again? This is even more impossible. The second Turkic prince is still in the city.

What else can be done besides these? Is it someone rebel?

Thinking of this, Li Hao became nervous and asked the soldier in a deep voice: "What happened? Explain it clearly."

"Epidemic, epidemic disease." The military soldiers said with difficulty: "A lot of people in our guards are slapped, and other guards have heard that many people are sick. Their sources are afraid that the news will be leaked, so they sealed the camp. Without the general's order, no one can leave the camp for half a step."

Li Hao's mouth twitched.

It seems that the confidentiality work in the army needs to be improved. The emperor explicitly prohibits the leak of news, but the soldiers guarding the gate below all know it, and the spread is serious.

Alas, wait, did I ignore something?

Confidential... Epidemic...

Damn, epidemics are the key.
Chapter completed!
