Chapter 26: Jealousy Makes People Unrecognizable
As soon as Cui Xianwen's words fell, the eyes of Lao Li's wife and the ministers all focused on Zong Xiu's body, looking at him with doubts in their eyes.
Zong Xiu was even more confused: "Huh? Throw oneβs weight around? Looting? Is this talking about me? β
Although Cui Xianwen did not mention his name from beginning to end, everyone knows who the despicable person in Cui Xianwen's mouth is.
Create numbers, improve arithmetic, who else but Jong-so?
Cui Xianwen got up and left the case, strode in front of Zong Xiu, and sneered: "I heard that Assistant Teacher Zong has just been promoted to the rank of knight and promoted to three levels in a row, which is really gratifying." It's just that I'm worried that you, a civil and prose official of the ninth grade, have such a prestige, and if you go further in your career in the future, then don't you turn Chang'an City over? β
The weird words of yin and yang make people very uncomfortable, especially the posture is almost pointing at the nose and scolding, which is unbearable for no one.
Zong Xiu looked up at Cui Xianwen, and his tone was not good: "Cui Gongzi, I have never met you in Xia, I don't know where I offended you?" so that you will be so humiliated in front of Your Majesty and your Excellency. β
Cui Xianwen sneered, didn't reply, but turned around and saluted Lao Li, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, today my uncle took the grass people into the palace to face the saint, because some trivial matters were delayed, so I was late." The grass people are guilty and admit punishment. β
Of course, Lao Li knew that Cui Xianwen was paving the way for what he was going to say next, and waved his hand: "It's just a private banquet, what a crime, Cui Shizi is serious." β
Cui Xianwen said again: "But the reason why the grass people are late is because of the reason. The grass people originally planned to offer two treasures as a gift for the face of the saints, "Changfeng Post" is one of them, but the other was forcibly taken away by the sect assistant, and the grass people were unwilling, so they wanted His Majesty to administer justice for the grass people. β
"Forehead ......"
Zong Xiu and Cheng Yanjin glanced at each other.
Mutton fat jade gourd!
Could it be that the buyer is Choi Hyun-moon?
Zong Xiu touched the mutton fat jade gourd on his waist, a little embarrassed.
Cui Xianwen pointed at Zong Xiu and said: "Your Majesty, the mutton fat jade gourd hanging on Zong Xiu's waist is customized by the grass people and the jade carving saint of Bao Yu Zhai half a year ago, and I wanted to give it to Your Majesty today, but when the grass people arrived at Bao Yu Zhai, they were told that this treasure was forcibly bought by Lu Gong and Zong Xiu." β
Zong Xiu opened his mouth, and was about to explain, when he heard Cui Xianwen shout.
"Although the mutton fat jade gourd is precious, in the final analysis, it is just a piece of jade, if the assistant teacher of the sect likes it, as long as he says to the grass people, with his merit of creating 'numbers' and improving arithmetic, don't say one, it is ten, a hundred, and the grass people are also willing to give it with both hands."
"However, this is a congratulatory gift that the grass people are preparing to give to His Majesty, Zong Xiu and Lu Gong coerced the shopkeeper of Bao Yuzhai with Lu Gong to buy it forcibly, such a bully, the grass people really can't bear it! I hope that Your Majesty will be the master, and the grass people will be fair! β
Cui Xianwen's words were conclusive and full of righteous indignation. Zong Xiu's face was pale, he didn't expect that he bought a gourd casually, and it would be ordered by Cui Xianwen.
What made Zong Xiu most depressed was that he didn't want to buy it at the beginning, and it wasn't Cheng Biting Jin who forced it into him.
But the gourd did hang around his waist, and this pot naturally asked him to carry it.
Zong Xiu's face was embarrassed, he took off the mutton fat jade gourd and held it in his hand, and said: "Cui Gongzi, I really didn't know that this gourd was a gift you prepared for Your Majesty, since the matter has been said, Zong Mou will return it with both hands." β
Cui Xianwen sneered: "Sect Assistant Teacher, a gourd is a small matter, but your character is very problematic. Cui heard that when you left, he also said that if the buyer asks for it, he needs to go to the Lu Guogong Mansion to break it. Haha, could it be that if Cui can't tell this matter in front of the saint today, this gourd will not come back? β
Zong Xiu said helplessly: "Then how can Cui Gongzi be satisfied?" β
Cui Xianwen shouted: "This mutton fat jade gourd is a congratulatory gift from me to Your Majesty, and it was forcibly bought by you, how can it be easy to return it?" β
After speaking, Cui Xianwen turned to Li Shimin and asked: "Your Majesty, the grass people think that although Zong Xiu is talented and learned, he has a bad character, so he should be removed from his position, and he should write an edict on his own crimes, and spread it all over the world to set an example." β
'Bang'
The mutton fat jade gourd in Zong Xiu's hand fell, fell on the futon, and almost shattered.
It's over, it's over, it's a big disaster.
He didn't mind resigning or something. It's nothing to write a self-written edict, but if it is spread all over the world, he will be a fart in the future.
Zong Xiu was sweating profusely, and he was even more worried in his heart, lest Lao Li nod and say, "Accurate."
In the pavilion, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Cui Xianwen and Zong Xiu coldly, and did not speak.
With a cold light in his eyes, the eldest grandson Wujian looked at Cui Xianwen, then at Zong Xiu, and finally asked Cheng Yanjin: "Lu Gong, is there anything Cui Shizi said?" β
Cheng Biting Jin saw that Cui Xianwen was aggressive, and his anger also came up: "If you go back to your mother, there is indeed something to do." It's just that he didn't make it clear. β
"Oh? Is it? Then Lu Gong said that the cause and effect of this matter are what the situation is. β
Cheng Yanjin picked up the mutton fat jade gourd and said, "Niangniang, you also know my old Cheng's temperament, and I want to buy good things when I see them." This mutton fat jade gourd was given to Brother Zong, and what is forced to buy and sell has nothing to do with Brother Zong. Cui Xianwen came up and grabbed the mistake of the elder brother of the sect, and deliberately cleared me up, which shows that he sued in front of the emperor tonight, not for the gourd. β
"You, you!" Cui Xianwen was furious and was about to defend himself, when he heard Li Shimin, who had not spoken, say lightly: "Let him continue." β
Cheng bit Jin and said: "Actually, I am not forced to buy and sell, if you don't believe it, let's ask Chai Shao, can this gourd Cui Gongzi pay the bill?" Or pay a deposit? As far as the minister knows, although Cui Gongzi asked Bao Yuzhai to make a gourd, he didn't even pay a subscription, this deal is naturally not established, I Lao Cheng bought it first, what's wrong? β
Cui Xianwen's face changed, he really didn't pay. Besides, as the eldest son of his [Boling Cui Clan's An Bungalow], do you need to pay for ordering something first?
The most important thing is that he sued Zong Xiu in front of the emperor tonight, and it was really the same as Cheng Yanjin said: it was not because of the gourd. What really made Cui Xianwen angry was that he was late.
Li Tang Liguo, the Cui family saw that the world was stable and the four seas were peaceful, and they also intended to occupy a place in the court, so that the family could develop in the longer run, so they asked Cui Renshi, who had been serving in Chang'an, to recommend Cui Xianwen to enter Beijing.
Cui Xianwen is also quite famous in his hometown, and he is the heir of a thousand-year-old family.
But the heavens have descended on a sect show.
Create 'numbers' and improve arithmetic, as soon as this kind of merit comes out, even if he Cui Xianwen enters Beijing under the name of [Boling Cui Clan], he will not be able to turn over the flowers in a short time. For a period of time in the future, the scholars of the world will inevitably discuss Zong Xiu, and no one will remember the eldest son of [Boling Cui's An Bungalow] to enter the office.
Jealousy!
Cui Xianwen only hated why he was half a year late, and if he came half a year earlier, how could it be like this.
Jealousy makes people unrecognizable, and jealousy makes Cui Xianwen want to eat Zong Xiu's flesh and drink Zong Xiu's blood.
Cui Xianwen has only one thought now - to make Zongxiu's reputation stink! Let Zong Xiu not be an official, nor can he be an adult!
In the pavilion, Lao Li turned his head to look at Chai Shao, who was there with the old god, and asked, "Sichang, what Lu Gong said is the truth?" β
Baoyu Zhai is the best jade shop in Chang'an City, and the Chai family is the largest wealthy family in today's business, and they are produced in all walks of life.
It stands to reason that Chai Shao, Baoyu Zhai's business, is not a matter of asking, he only needs to collect the regular money on a monthly basis.
What a coincidence.
Chai Shao really knows about the mutton fat jade gourd.
The rare beauty of jade in the world is already scarce, and it is something ordered by the eldest son of [Boling Cui's Anbungalow], and the boss of Baoyu Zhai must talk to him, the big boss behind the scenes.
Seeing Lao Li asking, Chai Shao got up leisurely: "Back to Your Majesty's words, what Lu Gong said is true." The beautiful jade used in this mutton fat jade gourd is treasured by the minister's family, because he knew that it was ordered by Cui Gongzi, so he did not accept him as usual. β
Zong Xiu's face was overjoyed, and Cheng Yanjin laughed even more proudly: "What's the matter, I'm right." I'm a little reckless, and I never do things like bullying men and women, or forcibly buying and selling. This gourd Cui Gongzi has not paid the order, I bought it first, which is considered a strong buy and sell. β
Saying that, Cheng Yanjin squeezed his eyebrows at Chai Shao: "Old Chai, I'll send you the gourd money tonight." β
Chai Shao said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a little vulgar." The assistant teacher of the sect created 'numbers', changed the calculation and learned merit, and was the master of the dog. Since the sect assistant teacher likes it, I will be the master and send it to the sect assistant. β
When the two princes sang and harmonized, Cui Xian's face turned blue.
Of course he knew why these two people were like this, who made the Cui family famous, but when Li Tang fought the world, he didn't make any effort.
Now that Li Tang has established a country, a big family like the Cui family wants to come over and get a piece of the pie, how can these newly rising giants easily let them in. It's all repulsed.
Cui Xianwen was unwilling, and said again: "Even if that gourd is not forced to buy and sell, but the grass people still ask Your Majesty to treat Zongxiu for a big disrespectful crime!" β
