Chapter Eighteen?(1/2)
Before the two brothers could speak, Changsun Chong had already shaken the folding fan he had just received last night, walked to them with unrecognizable steps, and circled around them: "Oh, aren't these brothers of the Wu family? What's wrong? Is this? Is he beaten?"
"Young Master Changsun..." Wu Yuanqing's expression was like eating shit, and he was twisting and trying to say something. As soon as he started, Du He said, "It was the black guy Cheng Chumo who led people to do it? Hey, you see, I said that I want to be convinced by virtue and be convinced by virtue. Why did you get started? Those who don't know think that I, Du He, have no tolerance and are petty."
Your uncle is convinced by virtue!
Is your family trying to win people with virtue that means splitting the door with an axe and then feeding people with old fists?
"Du He, is it really a good thing you did?!" The long-term sense of superiority made the Wu brothers temporarily ignore the fact that the situation is stronger than others and roar at Du He.
Du He grinned: "Yes, it's just me. Why, what do you have any other ideas? Do you want me to call Cheng Chumo over and explain the reason to you?"
When talking about Cheng Chumo, the Wu brothers turned pale and they closed their mouths tightly.
Only then did the evil pussy think about reasoning with the melon peel, and probably would have to lose half of your life before you even spoke.
"Oh, that's right." Du He smiled when he saw the two of them stop talking: "The so-called current affairs are the heroes, well... Although you two are not considered heroes, it doesn't matter. As long as you can understand people's words."
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to find a place to chat. I don't think you two want to become cross-border mice in Chang'an City."
Listening to Du He's implicit threatening words, the Wu brothers nodded as if they were willing to accept their fate.
I am a fisherman. Du He may not be so scary, but isn’t there any Changsun around him? This man is also a famous stubborn leader in Chang'an City. If he is angry, he will not be as relaxed as offending Cheng Chumo.
Feeling moved by Du He's changes, the Wu brothers got on the carriage prepared for them as if they were lost. They walked around the street for two turns and stopped in a tavern not far from the Wu family.
The tavern is not big, so it is said that as Changsun Chong and others, it should not appear here.
But the wine in this restaurant is the most famous in Chang'an City. I heard that it was brewed using ancient methods and was very powerful, so it was listed as a must-see place for drinking by the playboys.
The uneasy brothers of the Wu family felt much more relaxed when they didn't pull them out of the city to fill the river. They helped each other get off the carriage and were about to breathe a sigh of relief. A big furry black man who walked out of the store changed their faces again.
"Erlang, why did you come? Brothers are all waiting anxiously."
Du He was happy when he saw the man and pointed to the pale-faced Wu brothers: "It's okay, isn't you going to pick them up?"
The big man looked in the direction of Du He's finger and was also happy: "Oh, this is really a place where we meet in life. Unexpectedly, we met again in less than an hour."
The Wu brothers' expressions were distorted and they were almost crying.
It was just because the big black guy was nothing but Cheng Chumo who had just beaten them up.
When we meet again, we really don’t know if the enemy should be jealous or should we smile and keep our past grudges.
However, Cheng Chumo stared at the two of them for a while, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Why are you two dead like a father? Those who don't know think I'm bullying you?"
Aren't you just bullying us? Not only that, you also cursed my father.
The Wu brothers felt that today was really unlucky. If they had known this, they would not have gone out.
Du He watched coldly, feeling that Ma Wei was almost done. He stepped forward and patted Cheng Chumo's arm: "Hei Niu, it's almost done. No matter what, it is a guest we invited, don't scare people."
"Ah?!" Cheng Chumo suddenly woke up and slapped his head: "Yes, yes, yes, we are convinced by virtue. Our Cheng family is the most reasonable, well, that's it."
I will go to your uncle's best practice to convince people with virtue, and the most reasonable thing about your uncle.
The one Wu Lao Er hates the most to hear now is to convince people with virtue.
...
After entering the pub, everyone found a place to sit down. Du He sat opposite the Wu brothers. The guys in the pub served a pot of wine and some side dishes on a tray.
Du He smiled and threw out more than a dozen copper coins, which were considered as rewards, and waved his hand to signal the guy to go down.
The guy is also a sensible person. He knew that these stubborn lords in Chang'an City were not something he could get involved with, so he hurriedly took the reward.
Du He held a pot and poured a glass of wine to the Wu brothers on the opposite side, then filled his own cups, and raised his glass and said, "For our cooperation to go smoothly, I'll have a drink first."
What? The Wu brothers looked at each other and looked at each other's faces that were almost impossible to see.
What does it mean? Why did the cooperation go smoothly?
Seeing that the two of them were still moving, Du He raised his eyebrows: "Why, don't you give face?"
"No, no." The boss Wu Yuanqing still spoke, picked up the cup and said, "Du He, what do you mean today? We brothers admit that we did something wrong before, but you beat us and scold us, is it interesting to continue to humiliate us like this?"
Du He smiled, put down his cup and said, "Wu Yuanqing, you respect yourself too much. Do you think I am humiliating you? No, there is no need. I, Du He, are not a petty person, and I don't have to shout and kill for the previous unhappiness.
Of course, you can also understand that I, Du He, never took you seriously and didn't bother with your knowledge. It's like when a person is bitten by a dog, you can't bite you back."
"You..." Wu Yuanqing changed color: "You are scolding me?"
"To be honest, you are not worthy." Du He shook his head: "Okay, let's not talk about those useless things. I'm asking you to come today because there is a business that requires your brothers to do some effort. Don't rush to refuse. So many brothers are there. They are not as reasonable as me, nor are they as patient as me."
Damn, are you reasonable?
You reasoned that, can we brothers be beaten like this?
Yes, this is not your own hand, but you dare to say that Cheng Chumo was not instructed by you!
But in the end, Wu Yuanqing surrendered and took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what business is it? What do you want us to do?"
"Sugar! Your task is to purchase brown sugar and brown sugar produced in Shu. Lizhou is located on a major transportation route. All sugar produced in Shu will be transported out of Lizhou. Your father is the governor of Lizhou. I believe you still have this ability."
The Wu family is a merchant family. Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang's family are naturally familiar with doing business. After hearing Du He's business, they couldn't help but sneer: "Second Young Master, if you want to do a candy business..., I think I must remind you that this business is very risky and does not make much money."
"You don't have to worry about this, your task is to collect sugar." Du He waved his hand: "In addition, the newly established Datang Sugar Production Co., Ltd. will also be under the names of you two. Do it well. If you do it well, you can consider giving you some bonuses. At that time, the dividends will be enough for you to eat, drink and have fun, which is much more comfortable than running errands with Li Yuanchang.
Oh, by the way, there is another thing. My elder brother Du Gou will go to Lizhou to serve as a different driver and be responsible for supervising this matter, so don’t think about being careless, otherwise… there will be no shortage of unjustly deaths in the Wei River.”
All that should be said was finished, and naturally there was no need for the Wu brothers to stay and were driven away by Du He casually found a reason.
When he returned to the group of playboys, Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and said, "Du Erlang, I suddenly began to regret betting with you."
The reason why I say this is mainly because of Du He's previous threatening words.
It was obvious that Du Gou went to Lizhou to work as a job, and supervising the sugar factory was fake, but when he said that the matter was reversed, the work was fake, and supervision was real. In this way, the Wu brothers not only lost the idea of restraining Du Gou, but instead regarded Du Gou as a living ancestor to provide for him.
A simple sentence, but the plan is so deep. If Changsun Chong hadn't learned in advance, the truth of the matter would have been fooled.
"Haha..." Du He called out and said indifferently: "It's only starting to regret it now, it's too late! After tomorrow, you guys will wait to call me second brother."
Changsun rolled his eyes: "Super, let's talk about it when you fulfill your promise."
Qin Huaiyu muttered: "I think calling second brother is no big deal. Look, I've been calling Erlang the second brother now."
Cheng Chumo grinned and showed his front teeth: "Nonsense, is it better for you little hairy kid to be younger than him?"
Liu Renshi, who was good at drinking, saw that everyone was getting further and further, quickly stood up with the wine: "Hey, hey, stop talking about this, drink and drink, this wine is a rare top-quality product. Everyone has finally gotten together, so you must drink it happily."
"Yes, drink, if anyone falls down today, he will not be a man who takes care of him."
Amid the laughter, everyone raised their glasses.
After drinking a glass of wine, Du He smacked his lips with a tasteless taste. It was probably only about twenty degrees, so he casually said, "Is this wine fake? It tastes nothing."
As soon as this was said, the playboys stopped doing it and accused them: "Du Erlang, have you ever drunk wine? Is this wine still bad?"
"That's right, this wine is much better than Sanle Juice. Look at the color and taste the taste again, it's definitely the best."
Looking at the wine mulberry that started to sway after drinking a few glasses of wine, Du He shook his head, too lazy to argue with a group of local bullies. Facts are better than words. When I have time to get some distilled liquor, I can't drink you, the gang of prodigal things.
As for now..., forget it now, I have to become a disciple tomorrow, and it’s always bad to get drunk.
...
The next day, it was the rest of the Double Ninth Festival, Du He was called up early, burning incense, bathing, washing and dressing up, and having a good time.
It doesn’t matter if you have sincerity, the key is to have a sense of ritual!
Everything was about to stop. Du He walked out of the house under the leadership of his elder brother Du Gou, and behind him were... two big cars.
Yes, it’s just two big cars. Others can only carry a load and bring some gift boxes when they become disciples. But we time travelers are different. If you want to give gifts, you have to give gifts.
Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are too vulgar. You can give it to your disciples, and I can give it to you. Not to mention that the novel is not very innovative. The key is that you may not necessarily use it if you give it to others, which is very embarrassing.
But Du He gave different things. We gave a set of tables and chairs, sandalwood, not to mention the distance. At least in the Tang Dynasty, it is the only one in the Tang Dynasty, and even Li Er does not have it.
And such a big guy is there, and the old man can see it every day, and every time he sees it, he will definitely think of himself as soon as possible...
Alas, with a disciple like myself, Mr. Hechou does not smile... Lao Huai is very comforted.
The imperial guards guarding the palace gate had already had to explain. They knew that today was the day when Du He was apprenticing to the masters at Hongwenguan, but they were still a little stunned when they saw the two big cars behind them.
Who is the one who apprentices to teach gifts about cars?
No, is there something hidden inside?
A leader of the Imperial Guard who was about to be a devil-muscle man waved his hand and stopped the Du He brother who was about to enter the palace, pointing to the two large carts covered with linen: "Duke Lai, Master Du Er Du, we need to check this car."
Love Cha Cha, it’s no big deal, Du He takes aside.
Du Gou looked desperate and bowed to the devil's muscle man: "General Chang, please trouble you."
The mutton man grinned his teeth and said nothing. He took people over to lift the linen cloth covered in the car, revealing the tables and chairs inside, and circled around the carriage twice in confusion, asking in confusion: "My brother of the Du family, what is this thing? Why is it so weird?"
The former Duke of Lai was called Duke of Lai because of official business. Now that I have finished checking, no problem was found, that is, there are no people hidden in the car. The muscles relaxed their vigilance and started to have family conversations with Du Gou, and the title was changed to the usual normal title.
Du Gou sighed in pain: "Oh, the family is unfortunate! These are all things that my brother has made to make. What's the name... Oh yes, the desk. Tell me, our family is a scholarly family, how can we do some craftsmanship? Even if this table is really a unique work in the world, it's just a table, right?"
General Chang nodded quite a bit at the beginning, but as he listened, he tasted it. Du Gou was not complaining, it was clearly showing off his brother to himself!
In an instant, General Chang didn't want to speak anymore, and his big eyes rolled: "Well, you two should go to Hongwenguan quickly. Today, the owner of the Pavilion Lu invited many relatives and friends, and even His Majesty came."
