Cui Mingzhu, Cui Guanzhi was waiting anxiously outside, there was no movement inside, it seemed that it was really as he imagined, and his cousin really forgot about them? Or is my cousin not at home? Otherwise, why didn't it come out for so long?

"Sister, did you say that cousin is not at home, why hasn't he come out yet?"

Cui Guanzhi walked around anxiously, a quarter of an hour has passed, and there is no trace inside, even if he is not there, he should come out and say, what is it that there is no movement like this? You can't be kidding them, right? Or forgot about their existence.

Cui Mingzhu grabbed Cui Guanzhi's body and didn't let him continue to walk, it was annoying enough, this kid still had to walk around in front of him, can he be a little patient, after Cui Guanzhi was pulled, his heart was waiting like a fire, and the corners of his mouth kept muttering: "What if you don't come out yet?" ”

The two outside were waiting anxiously, and someone inside had already hurriedly walked out, and Miss Cao asked Qing'er beside her while walking: "Qing'er, did you drive them away?" ”

"Miss, don't worry, the slave is very gentle with people, and will not act recklessly, the slave and the maid told them, let them wait, they are still waiting outside the door, Miss, you slow down, wait for the slave." Qing'er told a lie and her eyes didn't blink, they were outside, but she swaggered and talked like this, not worried that the Cui brothers and sisters outside would hear it.

As soon as Miss Cao heard that her cousin and cousin came to see her, how could she still sit still, hurry out, she was not afraid that her cousin and cousin would come to see her, she was afraid that Qing'er would drive them away, Qing'er's temper, she knew it very clearly, when she met someone she didn't know, how could she give you a good look? Not picking up a broom to drive people away is already considered gentleness, and the gentleness that comes out of her mouth may be indifferent to others.

She didn't dare to go out, she was really afraid that they would leave, do it, open the door, the door was wide open, Miss Cao looked excitedly at the two figures standing outside, what a familiar figure, what a nostalgic feeling, her heart was warm, tears filled her eyes, and she couldn't fight for it.

"Mingzhu, Guanzhi, is it really you? I thought I misheard? You've really come to see your cousin. Miss Cao went up and held Cui Mingzhu's hand, taking care of it carefully, and her heart was full of emotion.

Cui Mingzhu heard the voice that had been lost for a long time, tears flowed out extremely uncontrollably, at that moment, all the contempt, all the grievances, those uncomfortable, sadness, at this moment, suddenly erupted, out of control.

The father is like a prison, he has always been the pillar of the family, and a big mountain they rely on suddenly collapsed one day without warning, leaving them powerless people, struggling to support, no clue, no way, no backer, all of a sudden, collapsed, their world collapsed.

"Woo."

"Cousin, I ....... Whining. ”

Cui Mingzhu cried loudly, the tragic voice, the tears she covered, erupted out of control, all the strength, all the support, the moment she saw Miss Cao, she no longer pretended, cried, cried very sadly.

Miss Cao was startled by her sudden crying, and kept patting her back with her hand, comforting: "Don't cry, don't cry, there's a cousin here, don't cry, be good, Mingzhu doesn't cry, cousin is here." ”

Cui Guanzhi stood aside, secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and greeted his cousin with a smile: "Hello cousin." ”

"Yes." Miss Cao kept patting Cui Mingzhu, who hadn't stopped crying, I didn't know why she was crying, and while comforting her, her eyes kept asking Cui Guanzhi, what happened? Cui Guanzhi shrugged, pointed at his sister Cui Mingzhu, pointed at himself, and hinted that he should let his sister explain it to you, I don't know how to explain it.

Cui Mingzhu cried until her eyes were red and swollen, her pupils were bloodshot, her eyes were red and swollen and some black circles, and she looked haggard, Miss Cao carefully observed her appearance, looked at Cui Guanzhi's appearance, almost, embarrassed, and hurriedly took the two into the hall, Qing'er immediately closed the door, made a pot of tea, put it in front of the two, and stood behind Miss Cao obediently, looking at the two quietly.

After crying for a while, Cui Mingzhu gradually stopped crying, Miss Cao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sorted out her appearance, and said worriedly: "But what happened?" ”

Cui Mingzhu nodded, unable to lift a trace of spirit, looking at the heart and feeling pity, Miss Cao continued: "But something happened at home? ”

"Yes."

"Something happened to my uncle?" Miss Cao continued to ask.

When asked about his uncle Cui Xuanye, the two of them turned purple and sad, Cui Mingzhu's stopped crying gradually sounded, very disturbing, Miss Cao gently comforted: "Mingzhu, don't be sad, tell your cousin what's going on?" Uncle he is not a good official, and he has a lot of prestige in Boling, how could something happen? ”

Miss Cao stopped crying and said in her hoarse voice, "We didn't know what was going on at first? Grandmother and father hid from us, not knowing what to do? As a result, a few days later, my father was arrested and entered the prison, a few days ago, when I arrived at Dali Temple, I heard that Dali Temple had begun to try my father's case, and I heard my grandmother say that my father had received bribes, which were full of more than 100,000 yuan of silver, and were found out by Dali Temple. ”

"Now you are being interrogated in Dali Temple? I don't know what the situation is? Cousin, you also know, my father is not such a person, our Boling Cui clan's business is all over the place, just the caravan goes back and forth in a year, it is more than this, how could my father lose his official position for a mere hundred thousand taels? ”

"Father, there's no way he's going to do such a thing? He was wronged. Cousin. ”

At this point, Miss Cao understands everything, it is indeed as Cui Mingzhu said, just a hundred thousand taels is not enough to make her uncle's eyes red, with their prestige and ability of the Boling Cui clan, there is no difficulty in gathering more than 100,000 taels, how can they care about this money.

"But who has a grudge against your Cui family?" In addition to the feud, Miss Cao can't think of other possibilities, as a big family, the first family of Boling, one of the best families in the Tang Dynasty, a famous family, since the Han Dynasty has existed, has been prosperous until now, how can she bury her future for that bit of silver?

The development is so big, there are a lot of enemies, if something happens, then it will definitely give you a ruthless move, this time I'm afraid it will be the same, Miss Cao thought deeply, but she still had some doubts, the Boling Cui clan is not an ordinary clan, something happened, it should be solved soon, just a few hundred thousand taels, just fill in this gap, it's okay.

Facing Miss Cao's question, Cui Mingzhu smiled bitterly: "We also thought so at the beginning, but no, the money used this time was set up by the imperial court in order to buy Baiya Cang, in order to prevent drought and famine in Guanzhong, my father had such a big event, how could those political enemies not seize this opportunity to do it?" They have long regarded our father as a thorn in their side, and they want to get rid of it immediately. ”

So it turned out that Miss Cao finally understood what was going on, it turned out that the imperial court set up Baiya Cang, and my uncle happened to be on the shelf, and I wanted to use this matter to get credit, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and the grain sent by the imperial court had an accident halfway, and was intercepted by some officials by some despicable means, and the thieves disappeared, and as the person in charge of this time, Cui Xuanye naturally couldn't get out of it.

"Then you came to Chang'an for this matter?"

"Don't hide it from my cousin, it's true that for this matter, the result is ...... Ay. Cui Guanzhi sighed, when he came to Chang'an, he knew how naïve he was before, thinking that he was rich and easy to do, and when he came to Chang'an, he could quickly rescue his father.

Outcome.......

"Isn't it possible? That's right, this is Chang'an, those people won't offend some officials for a person who is about to be demoted, since they can't help, then they will definitely act as if nothing happened. Right? Miss Cao spoke carefully, Cui Guanzhi and Cui Mingzhu nodded, cousin is so smart, needless to say, they are really too naïve?

"Is there really no one willing to help you?" Even so, Miss Cao still doesn't want to believe that there will always be some principled people, right?

"The big officials refuse to take care of it, the small officials can't manage it, there is a nest of snakes and rats, and the officials protect each other, and there is no good thing." Cui Guanzhi was furious.

"Hey, can't you talk like that outside? This is going to be heard by others, it's a big trouble, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future, you know? Miss Cao stared at Cui Guanzhi fiercely and reprimanded loudly, Cui Guanzhi closed her mouth and nodded obediently, her eyes full of grievances.

"Cousin, do you know some people from Dali Temple in Chang'an City? We wanted to see our father, but we ....... Cui Mingzhu was embarrassed to say the words that she hadn't said for a long time, and for the sake of her father, she could only grit her teeth and say it.

That being said, there is not much hope in my heart.

"Hey, you've heard about me, cousin, and I can't do anything about it." Miss Cao hurriedly shook her head and smiled bitterly, how could she know anyone? Chang'an City is so big, and those officials are so busy, especially the officials of Dali Temple, who usually don't see each other, how can they know each other?

"Hey."

"Hey." Although they already knew the answer in their hearts, after getting Miss Cao's confirmation, they couldn't help but be sad, there was no way, there was really no way?

"Smack."

A noisy knock sounded on the door, and the sound floated regularly in the ears of Miss Cao and Qing'er, and Miss Cao's eyes lit up and said, "I have a way." ”

"What's the solution? Cousin. ”

"Cousin, seriously? Do you have a solution? ”

Cui Mingzhu, Cui Guanzhi's eyes widened, shouted excitedly, and stood up excitedly, Miss Cao nodded, turned around and motioned for Qing'er to open the door, Qing'er happily walked out of the hall and went to open the door.
