Chapter 120 Cheng Chumo
The father and son discussed it until midnight, and then they went back to their respective houses to sleep.
The next day before Li Xiang woke up, Cheng Chuliang had already brought his eldest brother Cheng Chumo over. Cheng Chuliang also wanted to go to the front line, but unfortunately the court had court rules. Although your father was the deputy commander this time, he also We can only bring one son there, and other families have already arranged for people to go there. If we bring everyone from your family, your father will not get the chance to go to the front line next time, and your children will not want to go to the front line.
When he saw Cheng Chumo, Li Xiang knew that the two men must be brothers, with the same big build and the same beards. If they were put on a bearskin, they would definitely be wild beasts.
"I have met His Highness."
After the introduction, Cheng Chumo clasped his fists, which meant that both parties had met. After all, there were not so many etiquettes in this era.
"Compared to Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng seems to be even bigger than Brother Cheng. What do you usually eat? How can you grow like this? Even a tiger will be killed with this punch, right?"
Li Xiang said with a smile, Cheng Yaojin himself is very tall and tall, and these two sons are a little more powerful than him. No wonder the whole family is developing in the army. If he comes to be a civil servant, he will probably be the first to sit in court. It scared the people, let alone trying to solve the case.
"Hehe, Your Highness is joking. Our father has taught us to eat more and grow stronger since we were young. Only when we are strong can we not be bullied. Our brothers just listen to our father. We can eat five or six steamed buns in one meal. Now it has grown to eight or nine.”
Cheng Chumo said with some embarrassment. Cheng Chuliang next to him also touched his stomach. He was in a hurry in the morning and didn't seem to be full.
"It just so happens that I haven't had breakfast either, so the two brothers sat down to eat together."
Li Xiang walked to the flower hall next to him, and Miss Mengqin immediately came up with snacks.
"tasty……"
Naturally, Li Xiang didn't like these snacks from the Tang Dynasty, so he wrote the recipe himself and asked the master in the mansion to make it himself.
Well…
The two brothers did not regard themselves as outsiders. When Li Xiang finished one piece of pastry, the other plates on the table were already empty. Li Xiang quickly waved his hands, and Miss Mengqin sent someone down to prepare them.
"I'm really sorry, Your Highness, this snack of yours is so delicious. I have never had anything like this in my whole life."
Cheng Chuliang stuffed the last piece of snack into his mouth. Not only were the two brothers similar in body shape to Cheng Yaojin, but they also learned how to cut meat. They didn't even know what politeness was when they went to other people's homes.
"I'll bring them back to you two later. Zhi Da Bao will sell these pastries next month. If you have any ideas, you can send your subordinates to buy them directly. But the eldest brother Cheng should be If we can’t eat anymore, we should set off soon, right?”
Regarding the departure time, the emperor said that the two generals would decide, but Li Xiang naturally didn't know.
"My father said last night that we will set off in about three days. Tuyuhun's army has already begun to provoke. Even if we hurry up, it will take more than ten days to reach the border."
Cheng Chumo clapped his hands. When talking about serious matters, the two brothers also became serious. This was Cheng Yaojin's usual style.
The three of them are all young people. They got to know each other after chatting for a while, mainly because the two brothers who got married are broad-minded and upright people. Although they may have some small calculations, their outlook on life is absolutely fine. Li Xiang I am also willing to associate with such people.
"What's wrong with you two brothers?"
Li Xiang saw the two men winking at each other. He must have something to ask of him. Not to mention that they were about to go to the front line. Even if they were not going to the front line, the three of them had such a relationship and they should help each other if they had something to do.
"Let me tell you, my eldest brother is thin-skinned. He wants to get you a steel knife. Of course, he doesn't ask for it for nothing. My eldest brother doesn't save money at ordinary times, so he can't come up with 3,500 guan. Now he only has two Fifteen hundred guan of money, and the remaining 1,000 guan of money will be given to you when the war is over. You also know that we all make a fortune on the battlefield."
When Cheng Chuliang saw his elder brother's coy look, he immediately said these words. Li Xiang thought it was nothing more than a steel knife.
"Did you say those words to the public? We brothers hit it off immediately, so I will just give it to Brother Cheng. Maybe this steel knife can save my life on the battlefield."
Li Xiang said nonchalantly.
"That won't work. It's just how much it costs. Your steel knife is also cost-effective and time-consuming. If you don't charge me money, then just pretend I've never been here."
Cheng Chumo said with a straight face, it was not easy to get the steel knife first without paying for the money he owed. If he still didn't need the money, then he wouldn't be a hob meat?
The most important thing is that Li Xiang is doing business. If others hear the news, how will Li Xiang do business in the future? Can I still collect money from those people?
"Your Highness, just do as my elder brother says, otherwise you will be in trouble in the future. If a brother makes things difficult for his brother, then you will be half a head short when we see you in the future."
When Cheng Chuliang saw that Li Xiang was still trying to evade, he immediately said very solemnly, "Li Xiang thinks that we are all gentlemen and they all want face. If he is given a steel knife for free, Cheng Chumo may feel uncomfortable in the future." , so he asked Qian Ping to count the money at the door.
"You can have a drink at my place today at noon. It can be regarded as our strong drink. Isn't that a problem?"
Li Xiang saw that just eating snacks was not enough, not to mention that it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the two brothers had no intention of leaving. They clearly wanted to stay here and drink.
"That's great..."
When talking about the money to buy a knife just now, Cheng Chumo was very serious. Now when talking about drinking, Cheng Chumo no longer thinks about it. You must know that Li Xiang must have the top-notch Datang Tianjiang here, and his old Cheng family also bought it. A few kilograms, but unfortunately it belonged to his father. If the two brothers wanted to drink some, he wished his father would beat them up.
Li Chengqian originally had something to discuss with his son, but when he heard that he was drinking with Cheng Yaojin's two sons, Li Chengqian came over to join in the fun. Ordinarily, he and Cheng Chuliang were from the same generation, but Li Xiang was already with Cheng Chuliang. These people treat each other like brothers. It was a bit inappropriate for Li Chengqian to come out. Will his son and father both call him brothers?
