Chapter 436, Goodbye Sheng Lao

"Are you going back now?" Zhang Gong said in surprise: "The day after tomorrow is Chunwei, Mr. Ji asked everyone in a big way, don't you stay in Jinling and go on the imperial list?"

Xiao An laughed and said, "The old man is bored here, so he is worried about 'Wuling University'! If we want to go back, if Mistress Ying'er is not a little bit reluctant, I'm afraid he would have left long ago.【】"

Zhang Gong nodded and was about to speak again when he saw the third master and an old man walking in with a smile.Then he hurriedly stepped aside with Xiao An.

Su San went to Xiao'an and said: "Go to the courtyard branch where you are learning to cook, tell the girls to cook some decent dishes, and go to my study. Then go and ask Mr. Ji to come over." Su San finished ordering to Xiao'an , then turned his head and said with a smile to the old man: "No one is easy to eat in excess of the food in the palace. Mr. Sheng must have greatly increased his appetite during his trip for thousands of miles. It can be seen that he is not full. Don't worry, Ningyuan is here. It will make Mr. Sheng go back on an empty stomach."

"Hey, don't want to eat it, you must have fried fish nuggets." Sheng Lao laughed.

Su San also smiled and said: "Yes! Stay for a while, and let Ji Lao's precious granddaughter make it for you. They are all newly developed new varieties, new tastes, and prepared for special tribute."

Old Sheng smacked his lips and said, "You must have enough sauce!"

"Don't worry!" Su San felt the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and her mood improved greatly.Sheng Lao Ji Lao is the first person he met during the first period of contact with this world.At that time, I was still depressed, and Sheng Lao had been away from the temple for a long time.Now that we meet again in a different place, I am a favorite minister of moxibustion hands. It is a foregone conclusion that I will win the old and do the old tree to open new branches, and return to the height of the temple.And all of this was only half a year apart.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing standing there blankly? If you have time, you can read more about tactics." Su San turned around and shouted at Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Gong was actually older than Su San, but when he saw Su San, he didn't realize how old he was, as if it wasn't him who was older, but Su San.Therefore, no matter what tone Su San used to speak to him, Zhang Gong didn't have the slightest intention to resist.Willingly accept Su San's lesson.

As soon as Su San's words came, Zhang Gong ran away quickly.

Su San, accompanied Sheng Lao into the study room, Sheng Lao smiled at Su San and said: "Unexpected, unexpected! Yesterday in the posthouse, I heard that Ning Yuan is the chief examiner of this year's Chunwei, and the old man was shocked. Jump, I thought it was two people with the same name and surname. But I didn't think it was Ning Yuan, and the speed of Ning Yuan's promotion was too fast. He reached the sky in one step, and there was no such way as Ning Yuan's promotion. The old man left Wuling It’s only been a few days, so the change is too big. Didn’t Ningyuan little friend say that he wants to join the army? Why don’t you join the army?”

Su San saw that Sheng always used the jokes he said last year to run on him.But he smiled nonchalantly: "I still have the heart to join the army. If there is such an opportunity, Su Sanyi will look back!"

Seeing Su San's righteous words, Mr. Sheng couldn't help being taken aback, "Seriously?"

"Of course it's true!" Su San smiled and said, "I've asked the emperor for instructions several times, but I just won't let Ning Yuan go! If there is a chance later, Mr. Sheng will help Ning Yuan and talk about it."

Seeing that Su San didn't seem to be joking, Gongsun Sheng really couldn't understand Su San's true meaning!Give up the position of the Nine Gates Inspection Department and become a leader?Could it be that little friend Ningyuan still has that indifferent disposition in his heart.

Just when he couldn't understand Su San's original intention, he saw Mr. Ji walking in accompanied by Zhou Yingying, so he let go of this thought, smiled at Mr. Ji and said, "I was shocked when I heard that you recognized a granddaughter." ! But it turned out to be Ren Ji's female shopkeeper, and you recognized her, Mr. Ji is really a blessing."

Sheng Lao left Wuling before the Double Ninth Festival, while Ji Lao recognized Ren Yingying as his granddaughter after that.Many things do not know, but also a natural principle.

Ji Lao was also very happy to see Sheng Lao!When meeting acquaintances, old habits can never be changed. Unknowingly, Mr. Ji's tone of voice returned to the original harsh way, and he said with a smile: "I thought you were buried in the grassland? I can't think of you. This old bone is still alive and kicking, and it's actually getting younger and younger."

Mr. Sheng laughed and said, "The air on the grassland is so good! Once we arrived at the grassland, I felt a lot more open-minded. All the cumbersome things disappeared. If Mr. Ji also went to the grassland, he would be able to live longer several years."

Seeing that the two were still old-fashioned, Su San introduced Ying'er: "This is Gongsun Sheng, Mr. Sheng! It is this old man who went to the original country to negotiate this time."

Zhou Yingying hurriedly saluted.

Su San said again: "Go and get some fried fish pieces, now, this is what Sheng Lao wants to eat!"

Hearing Su San's ridicule, Elder Ji burst out laughing.After Zhou Yingying was about to go, the three sat down again.After a while, the food and wine were brought up, and a special grilled fish was prepared, which was very satisfying to eat. "The prairie is good. It's just that there is something to eat. It's too monotonous. Every day is meat, hand-picked meat, barbecue, and very few vegetarian dishes. If you eat that meat all day, people will get tired of eating it."

Su San asked about the living conditions of the residents in the original country.

"The common people still mainly herd herds! There is no farming. Therefore, the original cloth and silk are very precious things there, and not everyone can afford them. In addition, tea, salt and ironware are also very valuable in the original country. In short supply. I didn’t know it before I went to Yuan Country. Only after I went there did I know that the people of Yuan Country have already pushed the country far to the west and north, and its territory is far larger than the current Jing Kingdom and Feng Kingdom combined. a lot of."

Elder Ji whispered secretly, and couldn't help but said: "Then why do the original people have such a powerful force, why do they want to unite with the imperial court to deal with the Jing people? Can't they do it alone?"

Sheng Lao shook his head while eating fried fish nuggets and said, "This is about the power structure of the Yuan Country! When the Yuan Country first originated, there were still a few small tribes. At that time, people Their development was limited by their great power. Later, the Jingren tribe on the banks of the Ash River developed and defeated the Liao people. At this time, the Yuan people on the grasslands slowly developed. When the Jing people had the greatest power, they The people fought several battles and killed many original people. The original people had to retreat to the depths of the grassland. Later, the people of Beijing were in civil strife, and the power of the original people began to grow rapidly. One of the large tribes attacked the western In Yili area, there are dozens of countries, known as Yili Khan; several other tribes conquered Russia, and they are also called Khan. A few years ago, a battle broke out among the Khan kings for the core birthplace of the grassland. The last The main opponents are the current Great Khan Chikorn and his brother Qikuotai. After four years of war, the grasslands were covered with blood. In the end, Chikorn defeated Qikuotai and won the Khan’s Position, officially became the king of the kings. Chikon has a vast prairie, and has an unparalleled influence on the little khans in other places. What Chikon needs, the khan kings must obey the conditions and ask for money To give money, people need to be given. But to maintain this influence, Chikon must have new achievements to support his prestige. The king of Yili is on the west, the eight golden tents are on the north, and the sea is on the east. Nan became Qi Keen's first choice. The Jing people are the old enemies of the Yuan people. If the Jing people can be killed, it will not only avenge the revenge, but also increase the prestige. People, and Yuanren knows the people of Jing too well, and Chi Keen lacked the confidence to fight Jing alone, so he thought of alliance with Fengguo."

It turns out that this is the case, Mr. Ji has a long experience.
