Chapter 21 Pretending to be Drunk
"Zhang Miao is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he actually claims to compete with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao for power. It's a bit unpredictable." On the way to the inn, Cui Zhouping shook his head repeatedly and told Xu Shu.
Xu Shu smiled slightly: "Who is not as energetic as a young man, and he thinks that everything is in control. Only after experiencing the ups and downs can he truly mature."
Cui Zhouping smiled and said, "So, Brother Yuanzhi said that he was just a matter of coaxing the child for Zhang Miao."
Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Zhang Miao is not a child, Brother Zhou Ping. Don't you think that many of his insights are unique? Don't you think he knows the world well?"
Cui Zhouping smiled and said, "He has some knowledge, but that's it. I don't believe that Cao Cao can beat Yuan Shao!"
Xu Shu shook his head slightly and said no more because he knew Cui Zhouping and was not director of Cui Zhouping in military strategy.
Could Zhang Miao really grow to the point of competing for power with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao? This thought suddenly poured into Xu Shu's mind, and Xu Shu quickly shook his head hard and threw away the absurd thought.
Shortly after seeing Xu Shu and the others away, Zhang Jin brought people back, followed by Deng Tu.
"Amiao, your father Deng Zhong has agreed and will help us transport the food back to Sanshui." Zhang Jin said to Zhang Miao happily.
Zhang Miao quickly saluted: "It's a blessing for Deng Zhongfu."
Deng Tu has a very high military power value and is a person who can compete with one or ten. With him, his safety has increased a lot.
Deng Tu waved his hand: "You are so kind, what's our relationship? This little thing is pretty good! But my male servants have died, and there are not many rogues who come to Xiangyang with me. But don't worry, A Miao, I have asked Brother She to help recruit some rogues in Xiangyang."
Zhang Miao said: "It's not time for brother Ling. Just now, a friend I knew promised to take more than ten rangers to escort our grain boat back to Sanshui. In addition to more than twenty villagers, the number of people should be almost the same."
Zhang Miao didn't believe in Deng She's character very much, and no one who didn't know the details dared not use it randomly. However, Xu Shu and Zhang Miao were relieved.
Deng Tu nodded: "It's good."
Zhang Miao looked at Zhang Jin again: "Uncle, how are you doing other things?"
Zhang Jin said: "The wheat seeds have been agreed to make sure that we will directly turn 500 stones of millet into wheat, and then supply us with the price difference. Then I ordered various tools in Xiangyang City according to the list you gave, and bought various supplies of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and these are worth 500 stones of millet. Tomorrow morning, they will send the things to the dock and load them directly on the ship."
Seeing that Zhang Jin was doing very safely, Zhang Miao was very satisfied: "Thank you for your hard work, uncle."
Everything is arranged. At noon tomorrow, the grain ship will set off and leave Xiangyang, and everyone has one night to rest.
Zhang Jin invited Deng Tu, Zhang Miao and others to accompany him in the inn.
After three rounds of wine, Zhang Jin held the wine bowl and sighed: "The village was looted by thieves that day, and all the food was robbed. I, Zhang, was frightened and worried for more than 500 mouthfuls. I thought I was going to be on a dead end. Unexpectedly, after just a few days, I got enough food for the whole village to eat for more than half a year, which was like a dream."
Deng Tu smiled and said, "The so-called "Since the disaster is over, there will be blessings in the future. After experiencing this incident, your Sanshui Village will surely flourish!"
Zhang Jin nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you Brother Deng's good words. However, if my Sanshui Village can turn danger into safety, A Miao is the biggest contributor. What I am most happy about now is not that I have obtained so much food, but that A Miao can be valued by the provincial governor and gain a reputation among the scholars of Xiangyang."
Zhang Miao hurriedly said, "Uncle has gone too far."
Deng Tu looked at Zhang Miao with appreciation: "Amiao, you don't need to be too arrogant. Everyone sees everything you do. Without you, Deng Zhongfu's family would have died long ago at the hands of thieves. Without you, Mizuka would definitely not be able to sell such a high price."
Seeing Deng Tu admire Zhang Miao so much, Zhang Jin's eyes turned and suddenly smiled: "Although A Miao has some skills, it is much worse than Brother Deng's daughter. I heard that Ling Nu has the appearance of Fengwu in the Nine Heavens, and it is unspeakable!"
Deng Tu said angrily: "It's all the blame for that bastard. He said that Lihua was dancing in the sky, which made Lihua 17 years old, but she had not found her husband's family."
Zhang Jinqi said: "How could it be? Lihua is beautiful and generous, and has a noble fate. How could she not find her husband's family? Could it be that Brother Deng Tu, you have too high vision?"
Deng Tu sighed: "It's not because I have a high vision. Lihua, she has a high opinion of herself. She has said that she is not happy about several marriages. In addition, my brother has contributed to the fire, so it has been delayed until today."
"Haha, uncle, Deng Zhongfu, we should be happy today, stop talking about such a sad thing." Zhang Miao hurriedly smiled and changed the subject. He was afraid that Zhang Jin would propose marriage to Deng Tu directly without hesitation. Thinking about the situation where Deng Lihua hit him on the head that day, Zhang Miao was still chilling.
Zhang Jin shook his head and stopped talking.
"Haha, drink." Deng Tu smiled, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
On that day, Deng Tu was drunk here. Zhang Miao personally took Zhang Ping to send Deng Tu back to Deng She's house. He watched Deng She's servants help Deng Tu in, and then turned back to the inn.
"Amiao, I thought you would send Deng Tu into the room?" Zhang Ping smiled.
"Why, do you want Lihua Deng to give you a blow?" Zhang Miao looked at Zhang Ping with a slanted look and sneered.
Zhang Ping said shyly: "I have long since lost that idea."
Zhang Miao and Zhang Ping had just disappeared outside the door. Deng Tu, who was originally drunk, immediately went all drunk, shook his arms and shook the two servants away, and walked steadily towards the back house.
"Father, aren't you drinking with Uncle Zhang Jin and the others? Why did you come back so early?" Deng Lihua welcomed her out of the room, looked at the sky, and asked Deng Tu in surprise.
Deng Tu walked into the room, sat down on Hu's bench, picked up the tea that Deng Lihua gave her and drank it with her neck. Then he let out a long breath and said, "Oh, pretend to be drunk."
Deng Lihua said in surprise: "Father, you and Uncle Zhang Jin are having sex with each other, so why do you need to pretend?"
Deng Tu sighed, "If I don't pretend to be drunk, I'm afraid Zhang Jin will propose marriage directly. There is nothing I can do."
"Proposal?" Lihua Teng couldn't help but exclaim, and couldn't help but remember the fact that Zhang Ping asked him to hit him with a stick.
"Zhang Jin praised Zhang Miao hard, and then praised you again. You can tell if you don't ask about the intention." Deng Tu said.
"So it's for Zhang Miao." Lihua Teng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course it's Zhang Miao, who else can it be?" Deng Tu sighed, "Zhang Jin and the others have saved our father and daughter. If Zhang Jin really spoke, he would not refuse his father, but he didn't want to be wronged and could only pretend to be drunk."
