Chang 'an...
The sun was shining brightly.
The two Jinyiwei were dressed in bullfighting clothes (the lowest level of clothing for Jinyiwei), with embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists.
In his hands were two wooden boxes.
Other than the Jinyiwei, no one knew what was inside the wooden box.
They walked in unison.
After arriving at a mansion, he stopped expressionlessly.
He raised his head.
On the plaque above the mansion, there were two large golden words-Cheng Mansion!
Here…
It was Cheng Yaojin's mansion!
However, Li Shiming had not ascended the throne yet, so Cheng Yaojin was only a general in the army and not the future Duke.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
“........”
After a series of knocks on the door... The door of the Cheng Residence was opened from the inside.
What greeted his eyes.
It was a soldier from the Cheng Manor.
When the soldiers saw that there were two Jinyiwei standing outside the door, they immediately frowned.
After all.
The reputation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards wasn't very good.
"Two warriors of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, may I know what business you have with the Cheng Manor?”
he asked.
The Brocade Guard did not waste any words.
He handed the wooden box in his hand to the soldier in front of him."This is a small item that our Great Commander ordered us to give to General Cheng.”
Before the soldier could speak.
He heard-
A burst of hearty laughter came." Hahaha, I thought it was someone who came to visit. I didn't expect it to be an honored guest of the Jinyiwei."”
Hearing this voice.
Whether it was the Cheng Manor's soldiers or the two Embroidered Uniform Guards.
They were all shocked!
It was obvious that they had recognized who the person was.
The other party was the owner of the Cheng Residence and was also the one who had forced Li Yuan to abolish the Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng.
In the end, he was conferred the title of Duke of Lu, Cheng Zhijie, Cheng Yaojin!
Of course.
After Lin Zhexian transmigrated.
The person who forced Li Yuan changed from Cheng Yaojin to Lin Zhexian.
Only to see.
It was a man with skin darker than Li Shi Min's. He was tall and sturdy, with a thick beard on his face. He was wearing casual clothes.
He strode over.
He walked like a tiger and walked like a dragon, his steps extremely firm and steady.
On his shoulder, there was a long horse lance!
The generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Most of them used horse lances, and even Cheng Yaojin was no exception. In this era, horse lances were one of the most important weapons for generals.
As for the Three Axes, it was all in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"General!"
"Greetings, General Cheng!"
The prefectural soldiers and the Embroidered Uniform Guards said in unison.
"Yes."
Cheng Yaojin nodded.
His body was filled with a strong bloody killing intent. He was a battle-hardened general.
Only then could he develop such a temperament!
"What is this?"
Cheng Yaojin looked curious.
Although he had a good relationship with Lin Zhexian, he knew that Lin Zhexian was not in Chang 'an.
And with His Majesty.
They had made a shocking bet!
But why did the Embroidered Uniform Guards send him something today?
In response to Cheng Yaojin's doubts, an Embroidered Uniform Guard quickly replied,"The commander said that this is a gift for General Cheng and instructed us to pass a message to the general-"
"Help me promote it."
Promotion?
What needed publicity?
Cheng Yaojin was even more confused.
He took the wooden box from the Embroidered Uniform Guards and opened it without saying anything.
Only to see.
Three skewers of candied haws lay quietly in the box.
"This is…What the hell is this?"
"Could it be some kind of fruit?" But why were the fruits strung together with wooden sticks?”
Even for him.
He thought that he was already very knowledgeable.
However, she still could not recognize what it was. It was a string of red.
There was also a faint sugar fragrance.
The Brocade Guard explained,"The Commander said that this is 'candied haws,' a dessert for entertainment."”
"Oh!"
Cheng Yaojin suddenly understood.
He thought it was for something, but he didn't expect it to be food.
This made him a little disappointed.
He casually grabbed a stick of candied haws and stuffed it into his mouth.
It bit down!
"Hmm? This..."
Cheng Yaojin's expression suddenly froze, and he quickly chewed.
It seemed.
It seemed.
feeling.
It tasted pretty good!
The sweet and sour taste was not bad even for a boorish man like him. He reckoned that the children would like it very much.
Wait a minute!
Cheng Yaojin suddenly reacted.
Promotion?
Promotion…
Promotion!
His rough face cracked into a smile and he finished the stick of candied haws in a few bites.
"Looks like Zhongqing is going to use his strength. This... This candied haws would soon be famous throughout Chang 'an City!”
Cheng Yaojin said.
His face suddenly revealed a regretful expression as he muttered,""I, Old Cheng, actually missed out on such a profitable business?”
Regret!
Cheng Yaojin was doing so well.
He wasn't as brainless as he appeared to be. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the civil officials long ago.
What he saw.
No less than anyone else!
However, with Lin Zhexian's greedy personality, it was impossible for him to participate now.
It was a profitable business.
He missed it just like that.
As for the low status of merchants and how they would be looked down upon by others?
The thick-skinned Cheng Yaojin.
He didn't care at all!
He knew better than anyone else that when Li Shiming ascended the throne, his status would rise as well.
But...
It was also limited to this.
So what if he was powerful? In the end, it was still a pile of yellow soil.
He could only leave behind a little foundation.
Only then would their descendants be able to live comfortably.
...............
...............
Other than Cheng Yaojin.
On this day.
Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Wei Zheng…
In any case.
In Chang 'an.
Lin Zhexian ordered people to send a few sticks of candied haws to those who could be said to be famous.
Including Li Yuan!
The Great Ming Palace.
Li Yuan held a stick of candied haws in his hand, his face expressionless.
If someone was here.
He would realize that a few candied haws had already been eaten.
"Lin Zhexian…"
"If your loyalty is on this one's side, this one will have nothing to worry about in this life. I don't have to guard against you like a thief every day.”
A faint voice sounded.
