Cui Yiting threw the post of the book credit written these days into the brazier, and the flames quickly consumed the paper.

"Second master," Chen Bao entered the door, "the master is looking for you, let you go over and talk." ”

Cui Yiting nodded.

He Ying said: "Will the master already know that the person sent to Tongzhou was actually arrested and interrogated by the second master." ”

Cui Yiting's eyes were calm, "If I don't ask, someone will ask sooner or later, and I didn't want to hide it." ”

He Ying knew that if the second master didn't want people to notice, he would do the whole thing cleanly, and there would be no trace at all, since he put Yang Guan and them back, he was not afraid that the master would know.

What if you know, there is no second master, but I am afraid that Gao Cheng has already reported it a long time ago, and there are already officers and soldiers who have come to search the Cui family.

Cui Yiting said: "Go ahead and do your business!" ”

He Ying answered and withdrew from the room.

Cui Yiting sorted out his clothes and went out of the study to see Cui Shitu.

Cui Shitu and Mrs. Cui were sitting on the chair talking, Cui Shitu pursed his lips and his face was not very good-looking, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but say: "If you have anything to say, the master should tell Yiting well, we are a family behind closed doors." ”

Cui Shitu didn't say anything, let people set up a game of chess in the room, stood up and looked at Cui Yiting, "Go and play a game of chess with me." ”

Seeing that the father and son went to the East House, Mrs. Cui breathed a sigh of relief, and Mother Song next to her said: "Madame, don't worry too much, the old man and the second master haven't played chess for a long time, since they can still sit down and set up a plate, they won't quarrel." ”

Mrs. Cui nodded, her eyes kept looking at the East House.

"The second grandmother is here." Mother Song said. Mrs. Cui looked up and saw Wan Ning.

Wan Ning asked people to bring food boxes into the house.

"Mother," Wan Ning stepped forward to salute Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui smiled and asked Wanning to sit next to her, "Why did you come here?" I heard Yiting say, these days you are busy with Suyun's affairs, and you haven't had time to collect the dowry in the house. ”

Cui Yiting is really good at talking, and told her hard work in front of her mother-in-law.

Wan Ning said with a smile: "Those are not in a hurry, just arrange them slowly, these days my mother's appetite is better, and my daughter-in-law asked the kitchen to make some small dishes and send them over." ”

Lift up the meal. Mrs. Cui smiled: "I still want to ask the big kitchen to send you two dishes, you can bring them upside down, it's okay...... Ate here for a while......"

Wan Ning came at a good time. She was still thinking about finding some excuse to call the father and son out, and the two of them could say two words calmly, she had already recited Amitabha Buddha a few times in her heart, and she didn't expect the master to be like He Yizheng, and the father and son would play three or five games of chess before stopping.

Mrs. Choi stood up. "It's time to set the meal. I'll go and see. ”

……

Cui Shitu's chess pieces could not land on the chessboard for a long time.

He still remembered the situation when he taught Yiting to play chess, he happily found the chess game he was enlightened when he was a child, learned it seriously, and was ready to tell Yiting little by little, but Yiting didn't follow the chess game at all, and after a while, he made a mess of the chess pieces he placed.

At that time, he felt that teaching his son and teaching his son was easier said than done.

I don't know when, Yiting was not taught, and he also played a good hand. Let him hesitate.

Just like what happened this time, if it weren't for Yiting being outside. I'm afraid that Lu Ziming's matter has long been revealed to the world, and the Cui family is really about to usher in a catastrophe.

Yiting did the right thing this time, and he is really old.

Thinking about the constant disputes between their father and son over the years, this time he also wanted to calmly ask Yiting how the matter in Tongzhou was handled.

Cui Shitu said: "Where did Steward Tang go?" You arranged for him to go out of Beijing to hide for a while? ”

Cui Shitu raised his head after speaking, but saw a murderous aura in Cui Yiting's calm eyes, and a chess piece suddenly fell from between his fingers.

Steward Tang has followed him for decades, and if Steward Tang dies, those who did not return to Beijing should also end up like this.

Those people are all trusted by him, Cui Yiting killed the people around him like this, he didn't even say a word before, he suddenly had a feeling that his rights were taken away.

Cui Shitu frowned, "Why do you want to kill them all?" ”

Cui Yiting said: "Steward Tang is the second uncle's person, and he has been close to the second uncle in the past, but my father doesn't know it, and the people he brought with him, those people already have two hearts......

Cui Shitu looked at Cui Yiting, "You have left home a long time ago, and you are in the capital these days, how do you know these things?" Who did you ask to check? In the future, tell me the ins and outs, and I picked those people in the end. ”

Cui Yiting raised his eyes, he had already seen many things in his previous life, he couldn't say it more clearly here, since he wanted to clean up the affairs of Tongzhou, he couldn't leave anything to chance, "Steward Tang told his father the ins and outs of his father's arrangement for Lu Ziming to live in Tongzhou, he didn't know who I was, so he spat lightly in order to save his life, if he can say it to me today, he can say it to others tomorrow, and I can't leave it alive." ”

Is it really because of this?

Cui Shitu looked at his son's faint expression, "Except for Steward Tang, what about those people?" Is it because of Lu Ziming, or because I asked them to check He Ying and know about you. ”

Cui Shitu's voice suddenly raised, "The Miss Jiang family you are looking for outside is not the fourth lady of the sixth master of the Jiang family, the one who followed the He family into Beijing, you let people stare at the Shen family and the Yao family, do you have a fancy to the Shen family's property, so you want to marry Wanning, you don't look down on the Chen family's family affairs, because the Chen family can't help you with anything." ”

"You impeached your second uncle, is it really because your second uncle is greedy for ink, or you want to use Nan Zhili's case to enter the office, you know better than anyone else, in Yangzhou in the past, how did you ever care about grain, not like those gentlemen, wrapping flower boats, raising powder, eating, drinking and having fun, how did you suddenly have the heart to serve the country."

"Others don't know you, I'm your father, I know better than anyone else, do you want to find a shortcut to live a rich and prosperous life, be a new upstart around the emperor, and ascend to the sky in the future, with your own strength, you can find out that the officials of Nanzhili are greedy for ink, and you can recruit Lu Jiang, the king of An, how many connections have you used, and how many benefits have you given them? Did you find Dingyuanhou through your mother's uncle's family and ask Dingyuanhou to help? If you don't go on the right path, you will do those insidious and cunning things. ”

Cui Yiting threw a white piece in his hand over, and the black piece on the chessboard had been broken.

Cui Yiting stood up, "Lu Ziming came to find his father back then, what did his father promise?" Gentleman's friend, since Lu Ziming's life is entrusted, his father should also keep his promise, his father did not make the edict public, and today he should not mention any kindness, he has made a choice in the past, and it is useless to regret it today, so wandering on both sides will only harm others and himself. ”

In his previous life, his father was held in the hands of his second uncle, and the whole family became fragmented, and most of them were due to this incident.

Cui Shitu's face suddenly turned pale.

"The affairs in the court, there is only a position without kindness, it is impossible to stand firm and take care of feelings, and I want to have a smooth career and not get blood in my hands, I am not as noble as my father," Cui Yiting said, "What my father said just now is also right, I thought that the imperial examination was too slow, so I chose such a method, but no matter what, I will not implicate my wife and children, my father can rest assured, there is a black-hearted son outside, and he can enjoy his old age in peace." ”

Cui Shitu didn't know what words to say, and suddenly felt anger coming out of his head, and he reached out and overturned the chessboard in front of him.

The chess pieces fell to the ground.

Cui Yiting raised his foot and stepped on the chess piece.

Lifting the curtain, it was Mrs. Cui with a pale face outside.

"If there is anything you can't say well," Mrs. Cui said softly, "Why are you arguing again......

"Let him go, he is ruthless, he is not a good kind, I Cui Shitu does not have such a son," Cui Shitu's angry words came, "Today you protect him, sooner or later you are all chess pieces in his hands, and you will all be used by him." ”

Cui Yiting walked out of the room.

A thunderclap exploded in the sky, and immediately a bean-sized raindrop fell.

Cui Yiting walked forward, the rain fell on his forehead and shoulders, he walked very fast, out of the courtyard and into the garden, he was going to sit in the octagonal pavilion, but he turned around and walked to the middle road, and after walking for a while, he felt as if someone was following him.

It's Chen Bao or He Ying.

He turned his head and saw a green umbrella, under which stood Wan Ning, dressed in an aqua blue gown, standing in the rain and looking at him, and then slowly walked over and put the umbrella over his head.

The dense raindrops fell and fell on the umbrella, and the crackling sound was so crisp.

They were standing under the osmanthus tree, although it was not the time for the osmanthus to bloom, Cui Yiting seemed to smell a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Cui Yiting lowered his head and stretched out his arms to hold Wanning in his arms.

Two lives, seeing so many landscapes, sighed at the time, and then it was just a passing cloud, what he wanted was not the chaos of war, not life and death, but when the world was peaceful, he appeared in front of her.

There are no those helplessness and regrets.

"Is it cold or not?"

He lowered his head and asked, taking the umbrella from Wan Ning's hand.

Wan Ning shook her head.

"Let's go back!" Cui Yiting hugged Wanning's waist, and there was a small puddle of water in front of him, and he gently hugged her over.

When the two of them entered the house, Cui Yiting's robe was wet, but Wanning was still very dry.

Luoyu hurriedly prepared clothes to come out, and Wan Ning and Cui Yiting went to the inner room.

The rain soaked Cui Yiting's robe, which clung tightly to him, revealing a slender back and narrow waist.

When Luoyu saw such a situation, he immediately lowered his head with a red face, not daring to look at it again.

The room also seemed to have a bit of an earthy aroma.

Wan Ning said: "I asked people to boil water, are you going to twist a handkerchief to wipe it, or take a bath?" ”
