Chapter XVII
Xue Qi picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "This time, the Taoist admires his face, and he is very grateful, so he drank this cup at first." ”
Cui Zhenggong also hurriedly got up: "I also salute a long cup." ”
The Taoist Zhang smiled and drank a glass of wine, his face was slightly red, and he picked up the chopsticks and knocked on the cups and saucers, showing very uninhibited: "Poor Dao is also passing by here, Xue Xiaozi invited me, I will come over to take a look, if it is far away, I will not bother to come." ”
Cui Zhenggong smiled awkwardly: "Cui is going to participate in the Spring Festival next year, but I don't know...... I also hope that the Taoist will solve his doubts. ”
Zhang Daochang lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of food: "Poor Dao is hungry, eat the vegetables first, and then look after eating." ”
"Yes, yes, eat vegetables." Xue Qi hurriedly smiled and said: "Dao Chief, look at this dish, it can be appetizing, if you think it's not good, let's call it again." ”
Several other escorts also smiled and asked: "If the Taoist chief thinks it is not good, tell Lao Cui directly, anyway, he is a treat today, let's eat back." ”
Zhang Daochang smiled and said, sure enough, he asked for a few more dishes, and the people at this table ate and drank, and when the food was almost gone, Zhang Daochang put down his chopsticks and looked at Cui Zhenggong with a solemn face.
Originally, there was still a little smile on the corner of his mouth, but when he took a closer look at Cui Zhenggong's face, this smile was gone.
Zhang Daochang's raised eyebrows, slightly glaring eyes, and straight lips showed his surprise.
"Dao Chief, what's wrong here, here." Cui Zhenggong saw something, and stammered and asked: "Do you mean that you will be off the list next year." ”
"Alas!" Zhang Daochang sighed and shook his head: "Brother Cui'er's appearance is not bad, it stands to reason that although he is weaker, he has a face that has no worries about food and clothing, but he is ......."
"But how?" Cui Zhenggong hurriedly asked, and Xue Qi also cheered up and stared at Zhang Daochang.
"It's just that Cui Ge'er's appearance didn't have anything to do with the scientific examination, how did he get into the lift?" Zhang Daochang shook his head, puzzled.
"How so?" Cui Zhenggong was shocked: "Dao Chang Mo is not mistaken. ”
He is a side branch of the Cui family, he has a low status in the family, and he is not favored, although the family also has a thin property, if he lives a peaceful and stable life, it is enough, but he has great ambitions in life, wants to get ahead, wants to be a high-ranking official, and has many heirs in the Cui family, and he can't count on the branch in Kyoto, and if he wants to live a good life, he has to climb by himself.
Therefore, Cui Zhenggong is determined to win the imperial examination, and now some people are suing him for not having a chance to take the scientific examination, and when he is promoted in the examination, he is really called ...... I was full of anger and refused to believe it.
"Dao Chief, you?" Xue Qi was also a little unconvinced: "Take a good look at it again." ”
Zhang Daochang waved his hand: "Don't look at it, I know the cause and effect." ”
As he spoke, he smiled: "Speaking of which, Brother Cui himself gave his way to the end, I look at your face, there is a noble person to help, this can be a person in the examination, but you drove the noble person out of the house after winning the test, without this help, if you want to get it again, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”
"Noble?" Cui Zhenggong looked thoughtful.
Zhang Daochang smiled and said: "This noble person is a woman, born with the life of great wealth and nobility, and a prosperous family, if she goes to whichever family, which family is a sign of prosperity." ”
"Ahh Xue Qi exclaimed: "This, this, isn't it your cousin." ”
When this sentence was said, Cui Zhenggong's face turned blue and red, and it was very ugly: "How is it possible, just her father's and mother's life......"
However, the more he talked, the more Cui Zhenggong couldn't continue.
He thought about it, what Zhang Daochang said was not unreasonable, originally, he had been sick for many years, and he was going to die if he couldn't get up in one breath, and the family was anxious to marry him to marry a wife.
Since Luan Niang married to the Cui family, he served him every day, and was extremely filial to his parents, and somehow, he was getting better day by day, slowly, the illness was cured, and the spirit was better day by day, and after half a year, he got rid of his sick and weak body, and he was no different from ordinary people.
That is, after Luan Niang got married, he was able to go to high school in one fell swoop, it seems that this Luan Niang may really be as the Taoist said, it is the life of great wealth and nobility.
So......
Cui Zhenggong regretted that he had abandoned Luan Niang early.
Looking at his face, Xue Qi also thought of something, and quickly stopped.
Zhang Daochang was still laughing: "Speaking of this life, just now I met two little ladies outside Tongfu Building, these two little ladies are quite strange, one is rich and noble, IKEA and IKEA, but with a little bit of evil, very peculiar, the other is even more amazing, it is simply expensive." ”
"Just now?" Xue Qi exclaimed: "Is the little lady that the Taoist chief saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, a twelve-thirteen-year-old old, that long line is like a weak willow blowing in the wind, her appearance is beautiful, and her young beauty is abnormal?" ”
"Yes." Zhang Daochang took a sip of wine and looked at Xue Qi with a smile: "What, do you know those two little ladies?" ”
Xue Qi looked at Cui Zhenggong and smiled bitterly: "That is the old Cui's cousin." ”
When Zhang Daochang heard this, he immediately put down the wine glass, beat his chest and said: "Confused, confused, can such a noble person marry home, who married is not a good offering, how can you just push the noble person out." ”
Xue Qi seemed to want to make matters worse: "Just now Lao Cui and the eldest lady of the Li family had a quarrel, and that lady cursed Lao Cui not to think about becoming a Zhongjin Shi in this life." ”
"Really?" Zhang Daochang opened his eyes: "This, that's it, that's it, I can't do anything about Brother Cui, so I'll leave." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Daochang had already gotten up and walked out of the private room, and by the time Cui Zhenggong reflected and chased him out, he was already gone.
Don't say how Cui Zhenggong and Xue Qi reacted, just say that Li Luan'er and Li Feng'er had eaten food, and hurried back with their things on their backs, before they walked to the city gate, Li Feng'er was about to hire an ox cart, so she heard someone behind her call her: "Little lady, little lady, and wait." ”
Li Luan'er frowned and looked back, and saw that the person chasing was the Taoist priest who was hit by her outside Tongfu Building.
"You?" Li Luan'er was depressed: "You Taoist priest doesn't know anything, although I bumped into you, I also apologized, why are you still chasing after you." ”
Li Feng'er was even more spicy, and clenched her fists: "Stinky Taoist, what are you doing?" If you have any bad ideas, be careful that your aunt and grandmother will hit you all over the ground looking for teeth. ”
Zhang Daochang left from Tongfu Building, thinking that what he said might offend the Cui family, so he had to leave Fenghuang County early, but when he walked to the gate of the city, he met the two little ladies of the Li family.
But he didn't want to, this little lady of the Li family was so spicy, it scared him so much.
"Little lady." Zhang Daochang wiped his sweat and smiled: "Poor Dao didn't mean to pursue it, but I just happened to meet it, and Poor Dao saw that the two little ladies had a peculiar life, so they ......."
"We don't have any money for you." Li Feng'er subconsciously tightened her back and clenched her back basket: "If you tell fortunes, you should find someone else." ”
Li Luan'er is even more unbelieving: "What is the fate, we don't want to know, it's better to leave as soon as possible." ”
As she spoke, Li Luan'er was already on guard, she thought of the tricks of those immortals who passed by in modern times, and decided that this Taoist chief was also the kind of person who cheated people out of money, and said that if he was entangled again, she would give him something powerful.
