Chapter 245 What's the point of making him a king?(1/2)
The lights on Zhao Kun’s mansion caused a lot of trouble.
The nearby residents first looked at the light spots above Zhao Kun’s mansion.
Some people said that the flashing was ghost fire, so the residents decided it was ghost fire, so they exclaimed and observed the "ghost fire". Some children were scared to tears on the spot.
Afterwards, perhaps because of the wind direction, Kongming lantern was blown outside Pinyang City by the wind, so the villagers also made a fuss. Some alchemists even threatened that it was a monster, which caused many people to panic.
Fortunately, not long after, Kongming lantern disappeared into the night sky, making everyone feel relieved.
However, on the next day, various discussions about Kongming lanterns became more and more intense.
Until there was news that the fire that floated in the sky last night was raised by Gongzi Kun's mansion.
The rumors about "ghost fire" and "monster" are self-defeating.
Because everyone knows that Master Kun inherited the immortal and relied on his immortal skills to save the Tongwu Hou. How could there be "ghost fire" and "monsters" where the immortal lives?
So some people speculated that the fire that floated in Gongzi Kun's mansion last night might be the strange phenomenon caused when Gongzi Kun's immortal master visited him and ascended to the fairyland again.
This statement has been recognized by many people, but the servants in the mansion are very calm.
Because they saw the release process of Kongming lanterns with their own eyes last night, although they were surprised and magical, at least they would not think of things like "ghost fire" and monsters.
As for the ascension to the fairy world, it is purely nonsense.
So while everyone was scrambling to talk, the servants in the mansion returned to their former jobs, but after work, they still talked about the lively atmosphere last night.
That's it, a Lantern Festival event ended.
Wu Cheng asked the servants to take down all the lanterns, retaining a small part as nostalgia, and disposing of the rest as firewood.
After all, as spring begins, the weather gradually becomes warmer, and the safety risks of fire prevention have to be taken seriously.
Although Zhao Kun is about to leave Pinyang, the mansion still needs someone to maintain. If no one is left, it will be a sin.
Zhao Kun likes the atmosphere of festivals, but after the Lantern Festival, it means that he will leave soon.
However, before leaving, the adoptive father never came to see him, so he was inevitably a little disappointed when he was happy.
However, sometimes people are like this. The more they are lost, the more likely they encounter good things.
Just now, when Zhao Kun was about to leave his mansion and go to Meiyuan Township to relax, the servants in the mansion came to report that Ying Zheng was here.
Of course, he didn't know Ying Zheng's true identity, just called the head of the family, Zhao Kun understood.
In Zhao Kun’s mansion, only Ying Zheng was the only one who could be called the head of the family, which was specially ordered by Zhao Kun.
Because in Zhao Kun's heart, his adoptive father was the head of the family.
He hurried to the yard. Ying Zheng was carrying his hands on his back and watching people pick up lanterns.
Kongminglantern last night really scared him. If Zhao Gao hadn't grabbed him, he would have really rushed to Zhao Kun's mansion.
Zhao Gao once saw hot air balloons, so his first reaction was that Zhao Kun was releasing hot air balloons.
But at that time, the hot air balloon was placed during the day, and he was not sure whether it was the same thing.
However, after hearing his words, Ying Zheng calmed down and understood that it was not Zhao Kun's ascendance to the fairy world, but his new trick.
But through his previous emotions, he could clearly feel that he was increasingly inseparable from Zhao Kun.
As the saying goes, there was once a sincere relationship that was placed in front of him, and he did not regret it until he lost it. If God could give him a chance to get along with him, he would definitely not be angry with his son.
When Zhao Kun saw Ying Zheng, he felt relieved. He was really afraid that he would be idle.
But the stubbornness in his bones still broke out at this moment. When he saw Ying Zheng, he did not call on his adoptive father, but instead drove away the servants, he asked casually: "I heard you are very busy recently?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng turned around and said with a playful look on his face: "I heard that you ascended to heaven last night. I'll see if you are still there!"
Zhao Kun: "......"
Zhao Kun: "Thank you for your blessing. All the elixirs have been eaten up, and it is difficult to ascend to ascend!"
"What, you guys don't welcome your adoptive father?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Well, the adoptive father will leave?"
Zhao Kun said anxiously: "I've come here, why are you leaving? Let's have a meal together."
"Oh."
Ying Zheng said "huh", then thrust at the remaining lanterns in the yard: "What's it?"
"Lanterns were made last night for the Lantern Festival!"
Zhao Kun glanced at it and explained.
"Where did you fly in the sky?"
"Did the adoptive father see it last night?"
Ying Zheng said 'um', then casually found a stool to sit down, and said, "The movement last night was quite a bit, alarming a lot of people."
"I didn't pay attention when I was putting it off, and I remembered that I was in the city afterwards."
While pouring tea for Ying Zheng, Zhao Kun asked, "Didn't you disturb the First Emperor?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng felt a little funny, but he asked casually: "What do you think?"
"I think?"
Zhao Kun scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "I think it should be alarmed, otherwise the adoptive father would not be so easy to surrender!"
"shit!"
Ying Zheng glared: "Who has surrendered?"
"Yes, yes, I've given up, I'm not going to be able to give in!"
Seeing Zhao Kun's pleasing look, Ying Zheng felt warm, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "How is everything done?"
"Most of them have been done, and the rest will be left to them!"
Zhao Kun nodded, suddenly remembered something and said to himself, "Entertainment Father, I blamed you before. Although raising commercial tax can make money, the current social system of Daqin is not enough to support raising commercial taxes.
The national policy of taxation..."
After saying that, he looked up at Ying Zheng and whispered: "I'm sorry."
"Why....."
Ying Zheng sighed when he heard this, and said with some remorse: "It's not good for adoptive father. He is so old that he can't suppress his anger. Didn't he scare you?"
"No!"
Zhao Kun shook his head.
Ying Zheng laughed happily: "Okay! Your adoptive father likes your enthusiasm, moving forward without fear. This is a moral character that many young people lack!"
This kid was afraid of being in front of him, and he didn't know what would happen after exposing his identity?
This is what Ying Zheng is most worried about at the moment.
Many times, it is not that he doesn't want to expose his identity and recognizes Zhao Kun, but that he is afraid that after exposing his identity, Zhao Kun will no longer be the current Zhao Kun.
He likes Zhao Kun now, so he doesn't want to lose it.
After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I haven't eaten the food in your mansion for several days, I'm so hungry!"
"I'll go and let the kitchen do it right away!"
Zhao Kun quickly got up.
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "No, I've known about the kitchen a long time ago. Let's go to the main hall and wait for food!"
After saying that, he stood up and pulled Zhao Kun to the main hall.
............
In the main hall.
The dining table was filled with various delicacies, made by the chef in Zhao Kun's mansion.
Now the chef in Zhao Kun’s mansion is the “chef” in the entire Pinyang, whether it is the chef of the Lion Building or the imperial chef in the palace, they are all her apprentices.
All of this is thanks to Zhao Kun's favorite character. Whenever he thinks of delicious food, he personally instructs the chef to cook for him. Over time, the chef's cuisine is no worse than that of modern chefs.
"Entertainment Father, how about you try this called Chicken? New dishes in my house!"
Zhao Kun tore a chicken leg for Ying Zheng and put it on his plate.
Ying Zheng looked at it with a smile, then asked curiously, "Why is this chicken the name?"
"According to legend, this dish was invented by a beggar."
Zhao Kun licked the oil on his fingers and said casually.
Ying Zheng said in a daze: "Since it was invented by a beggar, why not call it a beggar chicken but a flower chicken?"
“Uh…this…”
Zhao Kun was speechless and thought to himself, asking me, who should I ask?
Some places are called "beghuaji", some places are called "stewed chicken", and some places are called "fugui chicken".
