When I came out, I specially walked with Cui Mingde, and waited for her to talk about Dugu Shao along the way, but she just kept silent, and stopped me until the palace gate was separated, but it was Pei Lansheng who mentioned: "It's too late today, and I'll inform the court bureau tomorrow and let them send Zheng to Erniang Middle School." ”

I said: "I have heard Ah Huan mention it before, and I have asked people to take care of her, but I have not been able to meet her, tomorrow since she comes, I will set up a table at home, including you and Ah Shao, how about the four of us get together together?——? ”

Cui Mingde glanced at me and said slowly: "Erniang invited, I have no reason to do it." Tomorrow is Dugu Shao's day of rest, presumably she will be fine. ”

I stared at her: "Yes, then tomorrow I will bother you to probe her tone, to see that she already has a crush?" After four years, I don't know if Dugu Shao is still interested in her, if the affection has faded, then it is better to end it earlier.

Cui Mingde refused to answer me directly, but said: "There is something I want to remind Erniang, Lan Sheng was exiled with his family back then, was oppressed by the prison officials, and in order to protect his innocence, he brought a knife to self-destruct his appearance, and now he wears a hat all the year round, don't be surprised if Erniang sees it." ”

I was stunned for a moment, forgot about Dugu Shao for a while, and repeated: "Self-disfigurement?"

Cui Mingde said lightly: "She has always adhered to women's morality, her husband was dead, and she was going to commit suicide and martyrdom, but because she was pregnant, she endured humiliation and secretly lived so far." It is precisely because of her indecent appearance that although His Majesty has repeatedly issued edicts to promote talents from the inner court, she can only be an editor in the inner study hall. Knowing what I wanted to ask, she said: "She gave birth to a son, raised him until he was two years old, became an official household, and sent him to the teaching workshop to raise her, and now she is an apprentice with Zhang Siniang." Zhang Siniang has complained of old illness, and she is in charge of young musicians, and she has also raised three or four righteous daughters. ”

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Is it Ashauto's people?" Seeing Cui Mingde bowing slightly, he felt a little ashamed: "I said that I was taking care of it, but I didn't help anyone, and I still have to rely on you." ”

Cui Mingde said: "It's also because you have instructed that the court is willing to give people happily, otherwise there are hundreds of purple and scarlet people in the palace, how can I easily get her by myself?"

I said: "Everyone has known each other since childhood, and there is no need to say these scenes, help each other where they can help, I can't take care of it at this time, you or Ah Shao, or Ah Huan think of it, or you can't think of it for a while, I do it, it's all the same, and it doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a person who helps more and who helps less-not only Lan Sheng, but if you or A Shao have something, it's the same." ”

Cui Mingde lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Luo Nangong will think of Ashao's marriage sooner or later, Your Majesty will think of Ashao's marriage, this matter has been avoided, so why bother with it, it is useless?"

I looked at her, and somehow remembered that when she sat on the porch with us in the past, swinging her legs to listen to Ah Yang's story, she was often this cold look at that time, but she always couldn't help but show some girlish childishness between words and deeds, in just a few years, Cui Er, who accidentally revealed a girl's heart, was gone, and all that was left in the palace was a Cui Shang Palace, which was exactly the same as the old adult grandmothers who combed their old-fashioned hairstyles and spoke with a straight look in Korean dramas or any drama.

I believe that if she hadn't been so young to reach the position of Shang Gong, and to be able to counsel the government and plan state affairs, although the palace was sinister, it would never have made her like this. Now that the heroine is in power, Cui Mingde can't be a harem, and he can't rely on his relatives to promote the family, and with the Cui family's prestige, if it is not a concubine, a daughter is favored or not favored in the palace, it has no impact at all. is what Cui Qiao asked for at the beginning, but it is just to let her enter the palace, stay away from strife, and bend people's hearts, with her family background and talents, she really doesn't have to force herself to this point. But she forced herself to this point.

If it is said that it is only for the family, no one will believe it. And although Ah Huan has always liked to do some dangerous things, in fact, he has his own sense of proportion in his heart, and it is really intriguing to suddenly say such a proposal.

I smiled at Cui Mingde and said, "In this way, tomorrow I will give A-Niang, please go to my house with Lan Sheng for a drink or two." I made up my mind to find Dugu Shao before Cui and Pei, but I saw Cui Mingde widening his eyes slightly and said: "In fact, Erniang is a princess, and she is already at such an age, it is not necessary to report everything to Your Majesty for details such as inviting one or two relatives and friends, setting up one or two small banquets, etc." ”

My heart moved slightly, tasted her words, and smiled softly: "Okay." He turned around and boarded the car, and didn't go home first, but went to the Xuanwu Gate Tun Barracks on the north side.

By that time, it was twilight, and the camps had been taken up everywhere, and there were only those who patrolled back and forth. The guards of the Son of Heaven look respectful, but the rules are really strict, and Dugu Shao's barracks are even more so.

She was dressed in men's clothes, but her head was changed to a red scarf, her body was a light-colored shirt, the front and back hems were tucked in a muslin belt, the sleeves of her arms were rolled up high, and she was wearing a leather jacket under her arm, and she was wearing deerskin boots under her feet - from the red scarf to the single shirt were all soaked with sweat, and the clothes were tightly attached to the flesh, outlining an excellent shape. Before the words fell, he was thrown by Dugu Shao with one hand, his hands behind his back did not move, his right knee was raised, a top, and his toes were hooked again, and he kicked the hammer obliquely, and he was flying towards Dugu Shao's side.

Dugu Shao smacked slightly, pointed his right foot on the ground, turned around very quickly, kicked the hammer back at several times the speed, and when he landed again, he continued to face this head, and continued to walk slowly: "Wait until you practice how to kick it first." ”

The man flew back very fast, jumped up with both hands and feet and didn't catch it, but he was not annoyed, he only smiled and said: "You are not staying in the government office, you secretly ran to kick the wood, and the general saw it carefully, and punished you for the change!"

Dugu Shao shook his head with a smile, walked up to me, looked me up and down, stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pat me on the shoulder, but finally only arched his hand and said, "You came out." ”

I smiled at her: "I was busy a few days ago, and I didn't have time to look for you." Tomorrow, because Pei Lansheng is going to my middle school, I set up a banquet to invite her, and I want Cui Er to accompany you, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's talk about the old together, what do you think?"

Dugu Shao was stunned, and said happily: "Lan Sheng sent it to your house? That's to meet well, when will it be tomorrow?"

I said, "It's always early afternoon, if you don't dislike it, it's better to come early." Let's go outside first—I haven't seen the Tianjin Bridge in years. ”

Dugu Shao said with a smile: "Tomorrow Xiumu, I will look for you in the morning, Tianjin Bridge is now more lively than before, there are many newly opened wine shops, a family invited female music of the Japanese country, playing and singing very well, and a lamb is excellent." ”

I saw that she was very excited, and hesitated for a moment, and then did not say anything about the marriage, but only advised: "Then you must have come earlier, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really have something to say to you." ”

She responded, because the hammer was kicked around by several elders, and kicked back, so she took it and smiled at me: "How are your skills now? Do you want to play with us before leaving? It's already past the time to see things, and you have already changed shifts, so it's okay to do it—they are all your own people, and they won't spread the news that you kicked us with us." ”

I weighed my skills are unfamiliar, and I have not exercised for a long time, some of the fat and weak, rashly ended, in vain to provoke ridicule, so I refused, when I drove from the window, I saw that she had been with a group of preparations, chiefs, captains giggling and kicking, laughing together, obviously getting along well with these soldiers, I couldn't help but smile, when I closed the window, I glanced up, and saw a red-clothed figure standing far away next to the city gate, looking at the figure was a little like Cui Mingde who had just said goodbye to me, when I looked closely, the person had already disappeared far away in the city gate. 166 Reading Network
