Prince Duan took a sip of tea, saw that his expression was better, and said again: "This king brought Xu Yong here because I heard that your family and the Xu family had a marriage contract, and this marriage contract was made when Xu Shaochuan was still there?" ”

When Uncle Cui heard him mention this stubble, he couldn't help but glance at him twice. While pondering, he said: "Ten years ago, Yunnan prefect Dou Kuang committed a crime, I was ordered to escort him from Yunnan into Beijing, and when I arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, it happened to be the middle of the night, and the son of Dou Thief brought someone to rob the prisoner car. With such a great kindness, the younger brother naturally has to be engraved in his heart. ”

Prince Duan raised his lips: "This king has heard you talk about this matter, but he has never heard you talk about this marriage contract before." You can hold your breath, if you keep it hidden, this king may have to plan to tell your Jia Ge'er a matchmaker! ”

Uncle Cui snorted: "That's the prince who can afford to be a dog!" ――Come, come, please have tea! ”

Prince Duan saw that he didn't want to continue, but it was inconvenient to continue.

Here, Xu Ying and Song Che followed the servants into the East Cross Courtyard, and someone had already heard the news and came down from the corridor.

Although Song Che is said to be the culprit, the prince of the family personally came to the door, and their courtesies were indispensable.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the strong smell of medicine, and the maids retreated one after another, and Song Che strode into the wing where Cui Jia was located.

Cui Jia was lying on the bed, and when he heard that this evil star was coming, he had already tensed his butt and stood up, and when he saw Xu Ying swaggering behind him, he was suddenly shocked and angry in his heart, and he didn't dare to put it on his face, a face that was still slightly swollen with bruises and purple looked particularly exciting.

Xu Ying stepped forward to greet him: "Cui Shizi." ”

Cui Jia didn't want to pay attention to her, and glared at Song Che angrily.

However, Song Che didn't have the slightest sense of apology, he didn't even look at him, he sat down on the chair with peace of mind, stared at the wall in front of him and studied. In this way, Cui Jia had to watch his little servant step forward and respectfully serve him tea, as if he was very grateful that he didn't beat him to death directly.

Cui Jia looked at his legs wrapped in zongzi and wanted to die a little, this pair of adulterers * husband * lewd * women!

He glared at Xu Ying and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xu Ying snorted: "Of course I'm here to visit the prince." Although it was said that the marriage contract of Laoshzi was the first to break the rules, Cui Jia broke the rules first, and the resentment between them was deep. But as a winner, you can properly relax your mind and show a little bearing, she said and glanced at Song Che, and motioned for him to get up and said.

Song Che reluctantly stood up. Walked to the side of the bed and bent down, staring at Cui Jia up and down.

Cui Jia was stunned, and Xu Ying also coughed: "What are you doing, adult?" ”

"Didn't you say you wanted me to see him?" Song Che got up with a straight face, "I've seen it." ”

Xu Ying was dumbfounded.

Cui Jia was so angry that his heart surged and coughed!

- Your uncle's! You're a heart, you're here! Where is he here to "see" him? He's clearly here to check his record!

Xu Ying looked at Cui Jia's face was wrong. Afraid that his irritability would mess up what Prince Duan had done for her in front of him, he hurriedly bowed down and invited Song Che to go back and sit down, and gave Cui Jia the delicacies and delicacies he brought, and asked the little servants to accept them.

Cui Jia was really indescribably annoyed when she saw that Song Che was obedient to her, isn't she just a young lady from a second-rate official family, and there is no rule in her eyes, this Song Che is so blind that she falls in love with him!

But they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and they did not leave, so they had to sit still.

Xu Yingming knew that Prince Duan had sent them away to talk about something, so where would he leave in a hurry? Anyway, it's not her who is holding back the discomfort.

She looked aimlessly at the room with her tea in hand. It occupies a large area, and there are quite a lot of furnishings. It's just that Cui Jiawen doesn't have a lot of ink and hangs a lot of calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which looks very funny.

Cui Jia glared at her with this sneer, so she had to stand up and admire the pendulum on the Bogu shelf beside her. I took a bronze in my hand, and looked at the bottom, fake!

This is nothing, after all, the number of antiques is always limited, and bronzes are even rarer, and it is nothing to have two fakes in a house at Cui Jia's age.

Pick up a piece of Tang Sancai again, and look fake!

That's too much, isn't it? The Cui family can't even afford Tang Sancai?

She glanced back at Cui Jia. Seeing that he was still glaring at him with endless hatred, he was not embarrassed to be pierced at all, and his heart was also surprised.

Didn't the guy surnamed Cui know that these were fakes?

But think about it, just his stupidity. It's normal to be deceived outside.

Saying that, Xu Ying suddenly wanted to verify how many fakes there were in this house.

In the past, she had handled not 10,000 but 8,000 antique jade, and the grandmothers in the court had the sharp eyes of the furnace, and they had never missed the truth of something, so that she had also practiced her skills. She ignored Cui Jia's glare, and looked over one by one. Seven or eight of the ten pieces are fake, and even those two or three are really blue and white porcelain of mediocre value.

This is strange, even if Cui Jia has no eyesight, Uncle Cui and his wife and the housekeeper in the house always have eyesight, right?

How could they allow so many fakes to be in the house of a noble son?

If it were known to outsiders - no, who would not ask to pick up something from someone else's house? If she hadn't taken Cui Jia in her eyes at all, and because of Song Che here, Cui Jia wouldn't have dared to take care of her, and she wouldn't have taken a look. If you don't take a look, of course, you won't find it boring!

What is the Cui family doing?

She turned her head to look at Cui Jia again, thought about it, put everything back in its place, and then walked to the bookshelf on the side to browse.

Her target is not books, but shelves for books, and everything near them. The wood is of the highest quality, and the lacquer on the surface is freshly painted, but the edges and corners are gone, and it is obvious that it is not new.

Look at the curtains and curtains next to them, the surface looks excellent, but some of the places that should be inlaid with gold have been replaced with copper, and the pillow brocade cushion on the bed is only three or four percent new.

Of course, some families like to be low-key, especially the scholars of the scholar clan, and they don't like gold and silver very much, but the Cui family is obviously not a scholar family. They're not elegant people. If so, they won't fool people with fakes.

Could it be that the Cui family's wealth is actually just an empty shelf?

She swept around the room again, then returned to the table.

"The prince is injured, and we can't bother, why don't you go back to the front hall?" She said to Song Che.

Song Che saw that she was quite energetic to look here and there, and he was not happy at all. There are a lot of these things in his yamen, and now the jade bi on the kang table is still something from the five dynasties in the past, and the jade cup he drinks tea is also a tribute produced by Jun Yao, and she doesn't see her take a look at it on weekdays? I'm interested in these things.

He stood up and walked out with a straight face. (To be continued.) )
