Zhao An raised his eyebrows and said, "Speaking of which, you really shouldn't just sit idly by. If you can get closer to him, we can recruit this person for His Highness, and our chances of winning will be greater."
Xiahou Ding glanced at Zhao An and said angrily: 'My granddaughter Caiyun..."
"I know, isn't Caiyun in Xuanwu City? Is the threat of the fourth prince really that effective to you, Viscount Xiahou?" Zhao An snorted coldly: "Based on your friendship with His Majesty, you only need to fight.
Hello, why don’t the Fourth Prince come over and apologize to you right away?”
Xia Houding said angrily: "My feelings are not your child. The fourth prince obviously doesn't dare to do anything, but he does it behind his back. Can you stop him? Besides, isn't Teng Fei's property not harmed too much?"
"Didn't he suffer much harm? Dozens of the shi guards who came with him died. Isn't this considered harm?" Zhao An sneered.
"Zhao, you have no responsibility for this matter? You are the moth master, and these murders all happened under your rule. Doesn't it have anything to do with you?" Fuhou Ding said angrily.
"Hehe, you don't have to be angry. In fact, you and I... don't want to see the Teng family being too powerful, right?" Zhao An seemed to have seen through Xia Hou Ding and said with a smile: "Otherwise, this will happen again
It’s Teng Yunzhi, so you probably don’t want to see this happen, right?”
Xiahou Ding snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Zhao An filled Xiahou Ding's glass with wine and said softly: "Since we are all His Highness's people now, we should forget the unpleasant things in the past and cooperate sincerely. That's what we should do. I say Xiahou, your
My granddaughter is so beautiful, if I were you, I would marry him to him. This son has just turned fourteen this year. Not only is he favored by the eldest prince, but also his majesty... he must have a bright future!"
"He is so good, why don't you marry your daughter to him?" Xia Houding said still unhappy.
"Hey, my eldest daughter is already married... My daughter is just six years old. I think if Teng Fei agrees, I won't mind marrying my younger daughter to him. You also saw the girl who appeared next to Teng Fei today.
, that kind of magnanimity is not that of ordinary people at all, and only Caiyun of your family can compare with her. Old man, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid you will regret it in the future." Zhao An said with a serious face.
.
"Alas..." Xia Houding suddenly sighed and said, "Why don't I want to? It's just... forget it, let them handle the affairs of their young people themselves. When I am old, I will help His Highness sit on that
After taking the throne, I should have a good rest after work. Zhao An's eyes flickered slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After finally leaving the city lord's mansion, Teng Fei breathed in the fresh air and let out a sigh of relief. After this torturous banquet, Teng Fei even doubted whether he had become a lot more hypocritical.
At the same time, he also felt lucky. Fortunately, he had Ling Shishi by his side, so he could handle this kind of situation easily. Otherwise, he might really not be able to cope with it. This was simply worse than undergoing a life-and-death experience in the Qinglong Ancestor's realm.
horrible!
The two of them did not get on the carriage, but walked slowly in front. The servants of the Teng Mansion drove the carriage and followed slowly behind.
"How's it going? Do you feel like you've learned a lot?" Ling Shishi looked at Teng Fei with a smile and asked.
"I feel like I have become a lot hypocritical, and my smiling face has become stiff," Teng Fei said with a depressed look.
"Gee, you, you don't know how much limelight you have made tonight. I'm afraid tomorrow morning, the entire upper class in Haiwei City will be talking about you. I don't know how many people are eager to be noticed like you.
Ling Shishi said with a smile, and then sighed softly, her voice a little low and disappointed: "I don't like this kind of occasion either. When I was a child, every time my mother took me to attend such a banquet, I would feel disgusted and hide behind her.
My mother didn't want to talk behind her back, and then... Later, my mother was poisoned and fell into a coma, so my brother and I asked for leave to find a drug job for my mother. At that time, I was thinking, if I can make my mother better, even if I have to do it every day.
Faced with those hypocritical nobles, I am willing to stand in front of my mother and deal with them politely..."
Teng Fei looked at Ling Shishi’s extremely beautiful profile and said softly: ‘Your mother will definitely get well!”
"Yes, maybe it was my sincerity that moved the heavens and the stars, allowing me to meet you, Teng Fei, who has a thousand-year blood orchid. In fact, I have always wanted to say to you, thank you!" Ling Shishi turned sideways.
His face looked at Teng Fei seriously, and his eyes were like the bright stars in my night sky, shining brightly.
Teng Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, showed a smile, and said: "You don't have to be so polite, right? I envy people who have parents who care about me. When I was one year old, I was separated from my parents, and then... I never saw them again."
, being pampered and loved by your parents is, in my opinion, better than anything else, so I will help you and Brother Tianyu to help your mother recover as soon as possible."
Ling Shishi smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously.
When the two returned to Teng's Mansion, wine and food had been prepared. Teng Fei called everyone together and had a New Year's Eve dinner with everyone, and asked Chen Pang to hand out generous red envelopes to those who had experienced the Teng Yunzhi era.
, the pharmacists and blacksmiths who have experienced the era of Teng Wenting and Teng Wenhu, holding the generous red envelopes, couldn't help but sigh: It's like returning to the era of the Third Master again, the young master is really generous!
For these people, Teng Fei knew not to begrudge money. Isn't that what they stay in the Teng family and follow him? Things that can be solved with money don't count.
Early the next morning, Ling Shishi came over to remind Teng Fei that she was going to visit Eli, the president of the Blacksmiths Union in Haiwei City. The two of them changed into casual clothes and rode a carriage to the Blacksmiths Union.
The Blacksmiths' Guild looks very old, at least several hundred years old. What's interesting is that the entire huge facade is actually made of iron. The plaque above it says "Blacksmiths' Guild, four Daewoo", above the characters are
A huge hammer should be the symbol of the blacksmiths' union.
The two people announced their intention to come, and the person at the door immediately invited them in. Apparently the president had given instructions.
The receptionist invited Teng Fei and Ling Shihua into the living room, brought tea and snacks, and then left.
Teng Fei looked at the furnishings in the room. The layout of the room was very simple, simple and simple, and it was very clean and spotless. After working for a while, there was a hearty laughter from outside the door. The door was pushed open, and Eli's short and fat figure
The body appeared in front of the two people.
"When I woke up early in the morning, I heard magpies chirping. Sure enough, there are distinguished guests coming to our door!" Eli said exaggeratedly, then he sat down across from the two of them very casually, picked up the tea cup on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at Teng Fei, Eli touched his head with his hand and said with a smile: "Teng Fei, are you a little curious about why I chose to cooperate with you?"
Teng Fei nodded honestly, because he really didn't know.
"Well, speaking of it, this is the second time that I have cooperated with the Teng family." Eli sighed, as if he was lost in memories, and said slowly: "The first time was more than ten years ago, that
At that time, a very young warrior came to Haiwei City. He was very powerful, and he was almost a pound. He was very proficient in Mou Cai, casting, and refining medicine. He even knew a little bit about the inscriptions that had been lost for many years.
Second, we had a competition to build weapons, but in the end, I lost."
Eli said to Teng Fei Ji Yuqian very frankly: "That man is your father."
Teng Fei had some premonitions before, but now that I heard what Eli said, I still felt a little wet in my eyes. I suppressed it and said with a smile: "It turns out that Uncle Eli is my father's friend..."
Before Teng Fei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Eli, who said very seriously: "No, I'm not his friend!"
"Uh..." Teng Fei was stunned, and Ling Shishi beside him was also a little surprised.
"I am his apprentice!"
Eli's words made Teng Fei and Ling Shishi confused on the spot. They both looked at the old man blankly. If Teng Yunzhi was still alive, he would not be forty years old yet! And this man's hair was almost gone.
The old man is sixty or seventy years old. Is it possible that he... is Teng Yunzhi's apprentice?
"You don't quite believe it, do you?" Eli smiled and said, "You are not as young as you are ambitious. After I lost to your father, I wanted to become my teacher. Although he never agreed, he gave me some guidance.
I have a lot of money. I can sit as the president of the Shanghai Weicheng Blacksmiths Union all because of your father's guidance. Otherwise, I would just be a smarter blacksmith.
"You guys come with me."
Eli said, stood up, and led the two of them through the courtyards to an ancestral hall. They opened the door and entered. The inside was very neat. On the table in the middle, there was a spiritual tablet. The spiritual tablet looked to be quite old.
, carved on it is the title of my mentor Teng Yunzhi.
When Teng Fei saw it, his eyes suddenly turned red. He walked over, took the incense from Eli, lit it, put it in the incense burner, then knelt on the futon and kowtowed several times respectfully.
He stood up, looked at Eli and said, "Uncle Eli, thank you for doing these things for my father."
Ling Shishi stood on the side, hesitated for a moment, and then lit three sticks of incense, then knelt down with a pious look on her face and kowtowed several times respectfully.
Eli winked at Teng Fei, but Teng Fei blushed a little and said softly: "You, you don't have to be like this..."
Ling Shishi stood up with a blush on her face, and then glared at Teng Fei: "I am your sister. When I see my uncle's tomb, I naturally have to pay homage. Do you want me to be rude?"
At this time, Eli said from the side: "It should be, it should be." The smile on his face was as obscene as he wanted to be.
Ling Shishi spat softly and stood next to Teng Fei with a blushing face.
Only then did Eli become serious. He looked at Teng Fei and said, "I should be considered your senior brother. Although the master has never agreed, I still think so. So, in the future, you should call me senior brother."
In this Haiwei City, if anyone dares to bully you, senior brother will never spare him!"@.
