The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 240 Simple Pleasure
The four of them had nothing else to do today, just to get in touch with each other, so Chen Jingke and the others stayed until the afternoon before leaving.

After seeing off the three friends, Yuchi Xunyu immediately went to the front yard to find his old man.It's just that Yu Chigong was still waiting for the guests, and he waited for more than an hour for the guests to leave.

After waving the servant away, he repeated Chen Jingke's words and said, "Ah, do you think what he said is true?"

"Hi." Yu Chigong hiccupped, and said disappointedly: "You can ask this question, it shows that there is still a long way to go."

Yuchi Xunyu scratched his head and said, "You know I'm not smart enough, so I came here to ask you for advice, tell me what's going on."

"Hey." Yuchi Gong sighed, and said helplessly, "Knowing that modesty is one of the few advantages you have."

"Let me ask you a few questions. We have a better relationship between Yuchi's family and Zixiao Temple, or with the Luguo government? Is Hou Junji your brother, or is Chen Jingke your brother?"

Yuchi Xunyu said without hesitation: "Of course we have a good relationship with Zixiao Temple. We are allies. Chen Jingke is my good brother. Duke Lu probably doesn't even know who I am."

"But even so, we should have our own ideas, and we can't blindly listen to our allies, or we won't know when we will be sold out."

"Haha..." Yu Chigong laughed loudly and said, "That's right, that's right, with this understanding, if this family is passed on to you in the future, you won't be defeated."

Then he said sternly: "Although that is the case, allies are allies, and brothers are brothers. We must grasp the closeness and estrangement."

"A lot of times right or wrong is not important, the position is the most important. So it doesn't matter what kind of people Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun are, the key is how you choose."

Yuchi Xunyu disagreed a little, and said: "Duke Lu Guo is His Majesty's favored minister with high authority, and Duke Yong'an is even more dignified. How can we offend so easily."

Yu Chigong asked back: "Did Chen Jingke let you offend them?"

Yuchi Xunyu was speechless, and only then did he realize that Chen Jingke only asked him to keep a distance from the two of them, not to be enemies with each other.

Yuchi Gong said: "Now do you understand why I said you are still far behind?"

Yuchi Xunyu said in shame: "Yes, I know."

……

Cheng Huailiang also told Cheng Yaojin about this after returning home, and asked similar questions.

After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder, no wonder, I just said that something is wrong, so the problem lies here."

Cheng Huailiang quickly asked: "Aye, what problem did you find?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "The sage asked Duke Wei to teach Duke Lu the art of war. This matter is not a secret and many people know about it."

"It's just strange that the relationship between Li Jing and Hou Junji has inexplicably changed, and they even criticized each other a few times. I was puzzled before and now it all makes sense."

Cheng Huailiang said in surprise, "You mean it's true?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded and said: "It's almost true that Hou Junji is exaggerated, unkind, and ungrateful. You should stay away from it in the future."

Cheng Huailiang was puzzled and said, "He slandered the Duke of Wei so much, the sage didn't care?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said, "Why bother? Is it so important to be right or wrong? Hou Junji has made great military achievements and is loyal to the saint, that's enough."

"As long as he doesn't seek rebellion, no matter how many other mistakes he makes, the saint will not really treat him like that."

Cheng Huailiang was a little confused, and said: "Since this is the case, it seems that we don't need to be so cautious."

Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "Are you willing to make friends with such a person?"

Cheng Huailiang quickly shook his head and said, "I don't want to, he dares to slander his mentor, who would dare to talk to him..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and then said: "I understand, this kind of person really needs to stay away, but I don't know what Shibo Yuchi will do."

……

Qin Huaidao also asked the same question, and Qin Qiong's answer was:
"You underestimate Duke Wu. Although he doesn't have so many twists and turns, he can tell right from wrong better than anyone else. Just watch, he will definitely let Xun Yu follow General Qibi."

Qin Huaidao let go of the worries in his heart and asked curiously: "Duke Lu Guo and Duke Yong'an didn't really do something out of the ordinary, did they?"

Qin Qiong said: "Then who knows, but this time is a good opportunity to observe, to see if they will do what Jing Ke said."

"But regardless of whether they broke the law or not this time, they are not my generation just because of their previous ungrateful actions."

……

Coming out of Yuchi's house, Chen Jingke was not in a hurry to go back, and strolled up and down the street.

There are many people on the street during Chinese New Year, especially children wearing new clothes running around, which reminded him of his childhood.

At that time, it was full of New Year flavor, and I ran and played all over the street with my friends.Whoever sets off firecrackers swarms over to pick up dumb firecrackers, pours out the gunpowder and ignites them.

Although there are no toys or so many delicacies, it is very happy.

When I grew up, the taste of the New Year became weaker every year. Later, fireworks and firecrackers were banned across the country, and the New Year was completely reduced to a formality.

Traveling to ancient times, he felt that simple happiness again.Although their living conditions are not that good and their supplies are scarce, they are really enjoying the New Year.

After walking for a while, I found that in a relatively remote alley, there were actually a few small vendors setting up stalls.

Usually, it is not allowed to set up stalls here to do business, either in a special market or at the gate of the temple.

But during the Chinese New Year, the management is not so strict, and some small vendors are allowed to sell things to show the mighty grace of the emperor.

At the same time, it can also provide some convenience for the people in the market. If there is something missing at home, you don't have to go all the way to a special market to buy it.

Anyway, nothing happened, so Chen Jingke abducted in with great interest to see what was for sale.

Not to mention, it's quite rich.

Some sell shoes and hats, some sell accessories and toys, and some sell ingredients.However, the ingredients are basically all kinds of dried vegetables, and the only thing that can be considered fresh is the big radish.

The cabbage did not appear... By the way, what about the cabbage, which was an indispensable item on the northerners' winter table in the past.

There are radishes but no cabbage. This is not normal. Is there no cabbage at this moment?
He asked someone to find out that it wasn't that there was no cabbage, but that there was no cabbage with Baotou.

The current cabbage leaves are not rolled up, but unfolded, and there is no way to preserve them for a long time. Naturally, there is no one who sells cabbage in winter.

He immediately took note of this matter, went back to study it carefully, and sorted out the cabbage in Baotou.

Without cabbage in winter, it always feels like it lacks a little taste.

After walking around, I bought a few small items, which can be regarded as taking care of the business of these vendors.

When I was about to go back, I saw a man walking with two buckets, yelling as he walked: "Fish for sale, fresh fish."

Chen Jingke is not interested in fish, and has no plans to buy it.It's just that when passing by the vendor, he subconsciously glanced into the bucket, and then couldn't turn his eyes away.
