Chapter 176 Mrs. Jia

A banquet where both the guest and the host enjoy themselves.

Lu Junyi is a simple-minded person with little wealth. He is obsessed with guns and sticks and loves to make friends with good men.

In Zhang Zhengdao's view, this kind of person is simple in nature and is only suitable for straight-forward fighting.

Otherwise, just Wu Yong, using words full of loopholes and writing such a conspicuous four-line acrostic divination song on the wall, could attract him to "be a guest" in Liangshan.

He was still stubborn and refused to listen to the good advice of Jia, Yan Qing, Li Gu and others, and insisted on going to Tai'an Prefecture, Shandong.

Especially when passing by Liangshanbo, I didn't listen to the waiter's kind words and went quietly, but instead begged for four bamboo poles and carried four carefully prepared white silk flags.

Four lines of a childish ballad were written on it: "Lu Junyi, who is generous in Beijing, carries goods far away from his hometown. If he only wants to catch strong men, then he will show his ambition as a man!"

Such a high-profile and showy operation not only shocked the waiter, but also Li Gu and other porters. They all cried out in pain and knelt down to persuade.

Lu Junyi not only refused to listen to the advice, but relied on his own skills to demonstrate what he had learned in his life and insisted on leaving. In the end, he fell into a trap and was outnumbered, so he was "invited" to go to Liangshan.

I really don’t know if this Lu Junyi is really innocent or fake. Now that he is sitting together having a drink, Zhang Zhengdao knows that this person is the "silly son" of the landlord's family. Compared with the "Nine-marked Dragon" Shi Jin, Zhang Zhengdao knows Simple and ignorant of worldly affairs.

I just think that with good martial arts at my side, I can conquer the world, travel around the world, and travel everywhere with ease.

Such a "big fool" is the easiest to deal with!

In fact, there is no need to fight in battle, just a pack of Mongolian sweat medicine can easily bring him down.

But don’t mention it, it’s a pleasure to be able to interact with such people.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Isn't it a pity that Mr. Lu is so talented but stays at home?"

Lu Junyi said: "Lu also wants to be like Zhang Zhizhai, catching thieves from thousands of miles away, applying what he has learned in his life, and asking for merit and rewards."

Immediately, he sighed again and said: "The Lu family has lived in Beijing for five generations, and there are many children in the family. Many business matters require Mr. Lu to intervene one by one, and he is unable to escape."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "It's understandable that Mr. Lu's family has a great career."

Lu Junyi said: "Just like today, it is very satisfying to fight with General Suo."

Suo Chao shouted: "In the past, I heard from my colleagues in the Forbidden Army that Yuan Lu was unparalleled in his sticks, but Suo didn't believe it. After a battle today, I was convinced."

Lu Junyi said modestly: "General Suo is also a good man. Lu was lucky enough to win one and a half moves."

Everyone complimented each other and said something special, and Yan Qing played, played, sang and danced to add to the fun, pushing the banquet atmosphere to a climax.

After a good drink, we dispersed.

Seeing that the three of them were too drunk to walk, Lu Junyi ordered Yan Qing to prepare a carriage and horse, and first sent Zhang Zhengdao and Luan Tingfang back to the inn behind Cuiyun Tower to rest, and then sent Suo Chao back to the military camp.

When I woke up, it was already sunset and the night was deep.

After Zhang Zhengdao got up, he called his waiter to ask about the time. When he learned that it was already Youshi, he wanted to rush to Cuiyun Tower, but there was a very unpleasant smell coming from his body.

So, Zhang Zhengdao ordered his waiter to bring a bucket of cold water. After a brief cleaning, he put on a set of clean and tidy clothes before arriving at Cuiyun Building.

Mrs. Jia and her daughter Jia were already sitting in the cubicle drinking tea.

Zhang Zhengdao greeted him politely and said, "Teach my aunt and sister to wait a long time."

Mrs. Jia smiled and said, "Xiang'er and I have just arrived."

It turned out that Jia's nickname was Xiang'er. Zhang Zhengdao glanced at his cheap sister and asked, "Has aunt ordered any food or drinks?"

Mrs. Jia said: "I have already ordered it."

Seeing that Zhang Zhengdao looked a little haggard, Mrs. Jia asked with concern: "Zhengdao is not feeling well?"

Zhang Zhengdao explained: "I was drunk at Lu's house earlier, but now I'm not completely sober."

Mrs. Jia then said to her daughter: "Go and order a bowl of hangover soup and have it with your brother."

Jia said: "My child, go now."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Thank you sister."

Mr. Jia got up, called the waiter, bought another cup of sobering soup, and placed it in front of him.

Zhang Zhengdao ate the soup and felt much better in his stomach.

Lu Junyi and Suo Chao are both good drinkers. Zhang Zhengdao drank a lot even with Luan Tingfang helping to hold back the wine.

After eating a bowl of hangover soup, Zhang Zhengdao smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Lu is indeed a generous person. There are countless heroes who visit his home on weekdays. They feast and drink every day, as if he grew up soaked in a wine barrel. I

With this amount of alcohol, I can’t drink him.”

At this moment, the official did not forget to give Lu Junyi some more eye drops.

Mrs. Jia frowned and said: "Drink less wine, otherwise eating too much will cause trouble."

Zhang Zhengdao replied: "What my aunt said is that wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, sex is a steel knife that scrapes bones, wealth is a tiger descending from the mountain, and anger is the root of trouble."

Mrs. Jia smiled and said: "I didn't expect Zhengdao to be so talented and speak such exquisite truths."

When Jia heard this, she was also greatly surprised. She didn't expect that this brother was also a very talented person.

Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile: "What I said nonsense made my aunt laugh."

Seeing that he was still modest, the more Mrs. Jia looked at this handsome young man, the more she admired him. It was a pity that she could not recruit him as her son-in-law, and there was some regret in her beautiful eyes.

At this time, the waiter brought the wine and food one by one and said with a smile on his face: "Old madam, the red dates in the soup this time have already had their cores removed. Please use them with caution."

Yesterday, Mrs. Jia almost choked to death on a date stone when she was eating in Cuiyun Building. The store clerk naturally reported this matter to the store owner.

The shopkeeper was a smart man and was afraid of eating dead people in the shop, so he ordered the chef to remove the date pits from all dishes that would use red dates in the future to prevent any more customers from accidentally swallowing them.

When Mrs. Jia saw the store clerk bringing up the old story again, she remembered that she was hugged by Zhang Zhengdao. A blush appeared on her face, and she pretended to be calm and said: "I'm interested."

Seeing her mother's face turn red, Jia knew that she was ashamed, so she said, "Mother, let's eat."

When the store clerk saw this, he left.

The dishes on the table were all bland, and Mrs. Jia kept picking up dishes for Zhang Zhengdao, which made Mrs. Jia complain. Her own daughter had never been treated like this.

Mrs. Jia was still worried that Zhang Zhengdao would not be used to the food of Daming Palace, so she put down her chopsticks and said, "If it doesn't suit your taste, Zhengdao can add some more meat."

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "No need, just eat some light food to relieve the hangover."

"What kind of meat would my sister like to eat?" Zhang Zhengdao saw that Mr. Jia had been silent, so he took the initiative to ask.

Jia replied: "I'm full."

Mrs. Jia smiled and said: "Xiang'er ate less today."

Jia said: "My daughter is not hungry."

Zhang Zhengdao put down his chopsticks, remembered something, and said, "Tomorrow I will return to Qinghe County, Yunzhou. In the future, if I have time, I will visit my aunt and sister again."

Mrs. Jia heard this and said anxiously: "Why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Zhang Zhengdao replied: "I have been away from Qinghe for a few days, and I don't know if my home is safe. Now that the gang of thieves have disappeared, it's time to return home."

Mrs. Jia wanted to keep her for a while, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to gently kick her daughter under the table.

When Jia was kicked by her mother, she thought she was being kicked to speak, so she immediately said: "Brother, please be careful on the road. You can send some letters back to reassure mother and me."

Zhang Zhengdao boldly grabbed Jia's hand on the table and said with a smile: "I will never forget my sister."

"Of course there is aunt!" Zhang Zhengdao added casually.

Jia's pretty face turned red, and she wanted to take out her palm, but he held her tightly and couldn't take it out, so she had to lower her head and remain silent.

While feeling the delicateness of his delicate hands, Zhang Zhengdao said to Mrs. Jia: "If Auntie is willing, we can leave this place and move together to Qinghe County, Yunzhou."

"As a result, the world is becoming increasingly chaotic, and bandits are everywhere. Although this Daming Mansion is a military town, it is undefendable. Once foreign tribes invade from the south, it will be very unsafe." Zhang Zhengdao thought of the time when the Jin army went south.

, Daming Mansion became the site of the Fourth War, and was beaten to a complete mess, with heavy casualties among the people.
