Tibet

Chapter 58 Who is the mallet
Li Ye held up the oil lamp and searched among a pile of broken copper and iron for about a quarter of an hour. Sure enough, he pulled out an incense burner from the bottom, which was exactly the same as his own, and seemed to be heavier.

Zhang Ping almost jumped up with joy, "I'm not wrong! There really is a couple."

"Go! Go back and talk about it."

The two blew out the oil lamps and left the yard. The black dog yawned long and hard, "We didn't see anything!" '

. . . . . . . . .

Back home, Li Ye polished it a little, and the black surface revealed a silver light. It really was an incense burner made of pure silver.

This incense burner is heavier than that one, and there is an extra squatting beast on it.

Li Ye took out 200 taels of silver and pushed a pile of silver to Zhang Ping.

"I want this incense burner!"

Zhang Ping nodded silently, and pushed back the 200 taels of silver, "Return it to you!"

"How do you explain to your father, where did you get the money?"

Zhang Ping shook his head, "I won't tell them for the time being, I want to practice cooking, and you will teach me another dish when I am skilled."

Li Ye took out another ten taels of silver and handed it to him with a smile, "Go! Ten taels of silver is enough for you to buy ingredients."

After Zhang Ping left, Li Ye found another incense burner under the bed, put the two incense burners together, and it turned out to be a pair.

He looked carefully at the inscription on the bottom of the new incense burner, and he found it last night. There was an inscription on the bottom of the incense burner: "I bestow upon Duke Lu", signed in the 11th year of Zhenguan.

This was obviously given to Duke Lu by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, but who is Duke Lu?
Li Ye asked Aunt Mu last night, and Aunt Mu also looked bewildered.

At this time, Pei Sanniang rushed in like a gust of wind, "Aye, did you take the money from my room?"

Li Ye nodded and pointed to the incense burner, "I used it to buy this incense burner!"

Pei Sanniang was furious, "Are you crazy? How much is this copper incense burner worth?"

"Mother, it's not a copper censer, it's a sterling silver censer, take a closer look?"

The anger in Pei Sanniang's eyes dissipated immediately, she stepped forward to stroke the silvery part, her eyes became brighter, and she asked excitedly, "Where did you get it?"

Li Ye didn't hide anything, and explained the situation again.

Pei Sanniang's eyes widened suddenly, "This one... stole the blacksmith's shop?"

"Mother, this is called picking up leaks. The person who sold it to Lao Jiang, and Lao Jiang himself didn't think it was silver, so he sold it to me for the money. It is estimated that he collected it for five hundred yuan."

Pei Sanniang walked a few steps distractedly, then sighed and said to her son, "Ye'er, you have to promise mother..."

"I know!"

Li Ye knew what his mother wanted to say, and said first: "I'm not a thief, and I don't have this habit. Just this time, I promise there will be no next time!"

Pei Sanniang nodded, "That's good, I won't talk about you this time, I'll return the iron cone to him tomorrow, and don't want him to change."

"Mother, that iron cone should be a famous general's weapon! Maybe it's also very valuable."

"What are you talking about? You picked up broken arrowheads and melted them down three years ago to forge them. I gave Lao Jiang the same amount of money for the labor. Did you forget?"

"impossible!"

Li Ye studied the iron vertebrae carefully, and it was beautifully crafted, and there were engraved characters on it, but it was just a small seal, which he didn't recognize.

"Did you see him build it with your own eyes?"

"That's not true. I gave him a bag of arrowheads in the morning, and he gave me the iron awl in the afternoon."

Li Ye couldn't help laughing, this old Jiang is really a stick, he picked up the treasure by himself, and then gave the treasure to others.

"Mom, I like that iron cone. I'll buy a few more things from him in two days and give him more money!"

"You can stay if you like!"

Pei Sanniang was more interested in the censer. Although she disapproved of her son stealing the censer, she was not so pedantic as to return the censer. How could the silver censer be returned?

She looked at the censer up and down, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, "This censer is quite exquisite, I'll ask someone to have a look, how much is it worth?"

"Mother, this is given to Duke Lu by the emperor. Do you know who Duke Lu is?"

"Lu Guogong?"

Pei Sanniang felt that this name was very familiar, she frowned and thought about it, "It seems that I know, Dad told me that our Pei family has a relationship with him!"

"Oh! The answer is in front of me, but I just can't remember it. Who is it?"

Pei Sanniang couldn't think of it for a while, so she went around in circles anxiously, and suddenly she slapped her forehead, "I remembered, it's Cheng Yaojin, the founding hero!"

Is that Cheng Yaojin who sold private salt, robbed the emperor, and settled Wagang with three tricks?
Of course Li Ye knew that it was the image in the novel. The real Cheng Yaojin was a famous general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and he later changed his name to Cheng Zhijie.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Ye's mind like lightning.

"I see!"

He ran out like a gust of wind, and after a while, he ran back with his mother's iron awl, put it on the table and said with a smile: "This is also Cheng Yaojin's weapon!"

"how do you know?"

"There is a character on it, which is Xiaozhuan. I didn't recognize it before, but now I know it. It is the word 'Zhijie'. Cheng Yaojin is also called Cheng Zhijie."

Pei Sanniang nodded, "It seems that they were also with the incense burner. Someone stole the Cheng family's belongings and sold them to Lao Jiang."

"Mom, let's return it to the Cheng family!"

"Just give it back to them for nothing?"

"Of course not, I also spent a lot of money to buy it back."

Pei Sanniang couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "You can deal with it! Mom just don't ask questions, just don't charge too much."

Li Ye just smiled, his mother thought he wanted to take the opportunity to extort money from the Cheng family, but it was not the case.

His era was a society of human relations, and many friends meant many paths, and the Tang Dynasty should be the same.

. . . . . . . . .

But Li Ye had an idea again, is there anything from the Cheng family in the warehouse?

After lunch, Li Ye went to the blacksmith shop again. Today, the Xiaoqiguard polo team won a big victory, and Lao Jiang and Xiao Jiang were beaming with joy.

Hearing that Li Ye was going to buy something again, Lao Jiang took him to the warehouse. Li Ye searched thoroughly this time, which disappointed him. The rest were broken copper and iron, but he still found a useful item. , a copper steamer, a bit like a steamer, but it is used to steam wine.

This thing weighed twenty catties, Lao Jiang offered three pennies, Li Ye threw down ten taels of silver, and took the black dog away with him.

Although this black dog is not dedicated enough, Li Ye still likes it very much, and their family also needs a watchdog.

Lao Jiang was holding the heavy ten taels of silver, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Today, double happiness came, the Xiaoqiwei polo team won a big victory in the morning, and met another small stick in the afternoon.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
There is another member in Li Ye's family, Xiao Hei, a well-behaved watchdog. Aunt Mu built a nest for him next to the kitchen. It happened that there was a big wooden box in the house, so he let it fall down, and it was covered with old bedding. The little black dog happily circled around Aunt Mu's legs, wagging its tail.

After the nest was built, the little black dog got into it immediately, lying on its head in its own nest, and refused to come out.

Aunt Mu patted the puppy's head lovingly, "Good boy, Madam has brought you something to eat."

"I happen to have a plate!"

Li Ye ran back to the house and took out a large wooden plate from under the bed, which was used to put small stones, but it was useless now, just enough to feed Xiao Hei.

For the first meal, Xiao Hei ate a chicken head and half a bowl of leftover rice, then ran to the wooden basin by the well platform to drink some washing water, and lay down comfortably in the nest.

Li Ye dug a dog hole at the bottom of the wall next to the door, Xiao Hei can go out to play by himself, and it is convenient to solve the problem. Dogs in the Tang Dynasty are relatively easy to raise. As long as you leave some leftovers for the meal, the owner doesn’t have to worry about the rest. up.

At one watch, Li Ye set off, and Xiao Hei came up to meet him. Li Ye patted its head and smiled, "Don't bark when I come back at night, remember!"

Xiao Hei wagged his tail and went back to his nest, Li Ye climbed over the wall and ran towards the city wall...
