Chapter Ninety-Six: Disclosure of Identity

When Zhu Wen saw Cui Yuan coming just now, he knew that Zeng Yu and the others should come out soon. Sure enough, after Cui Yuan entered, it was only about a quarter of an hour, and the three of them appeared in Zhu Wen's eyes together. In fact, Zhu Wen, who had been drinking tea all afternoon, was already hungry, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he could only wait. At this time, when they saw Zeng Yu, they finally came out, and they stood up happily immediately.

"Haha, I must be hungry when I see Chengyong like this!" Seeing this, Cui Yuan laughed and said.

Zhu Wen stretched out his hand and scratched his head, not knowing what to say, he could only smirk at the three of them.

Seeing this, Cui Yuan said with a smile, "It seems that I really got right, it's really easy to get hungry after drinking too much tea." I've already booked a restaurant, so let's set off, come to my place, and let my uncle be a good host. ”

"It's us who bothered Uncle Cui." Zeng Yu and Zhao Yi said.

"I'm glad you came to see me. And I know that Jing Fei is doing very well now, and with a son like Zirou, if my unsuccessful son is half as good as you, then I will rest assured. Cui Yuan said that his son Cui Yan has always been his heart disease, he doesn't like to read, he only likes to make some strange tricks with people, and he has tinkered with strange things, Cui Yuan said that he has not changed many times.

"Young man, I believe he will definitely find out Uncle Cui's good intentions in the future." Zeng Yu said, but this tone sounded as if he had forgotten that Cui Yan should be about the same age as him.

"By the way, why haven't you seen your son all the time, isn't he in the county seat?" Zhao Yi heard Cui Yuan mention the child, so he asked curiously.

"Not to mention, he had been tossing and turning at home for a few years, and when I often talked about him, he clamored to go out on a trip, and his mother could not bear his request, so she had to agree to him. I heard that he is now at Youfufeng's place, and he also worships a teacher, so it is estimated that he is tinkering with those strange things again. Cui Yuan said helplessly.

"Uncle Cui, don't worry, didn't the Mo family, who was a scholar in the Spring and Autumn Period, also study these, and it's not a good thing that your son is interested in these techniques." Zeng Yu comforted, but he didn't say it purely for comfort, he really thought that Cui Yanxue might really be a good thing.

Among the hundreds of schools, Zeng Yu's most regrettable is the Mo family. Mencius once said that "the words of Yang Zhu and Mo Zhai are all over the world, and the words of the world do not return to Yang that they are returned to Mo", which is not to say that the influence of these two schools, but more because of the influence of the Mo family and Yang Zhu, which respectively represent self-interest anarchism), and love socialism), the two are almost completely opposed. But in Zeng Yu's eyes, the most important thing for the Mohists is from time to time its ideas such as "love" and "non-attack", but its technologies, the Mohists created a set of scientific theories with geometry, physics, and optics as outstanding achievements during the Warring States Period, and are classical scientists in China.

"Hey, let's not talk about him, let's go to the restaurant first." Cui Yuan shook his head and said.

Zeng Yu and the three of them followed Cui Yuan to the restaurant he said, it was the one they ate yesterday, seeing this scene, they looked at each other and smiled, it seems that this is really the best restaurant in this county.

Seeing this, Cui Yuan asked them, "Have you been here?" ”

"Back to Uncle Cui, we just arrived yesterday and came here for a meal, I heard that this is the best restaurant in Eping County, and our dinner was solved here yesterday." Zhao Yi explained.

"What a coincidence, how did you feel yesterday?" Cui Yuan said.

"We rushed here from the party in Bingzhou, and we ate dry food for more than half a month, and yesterday was the first hot meal we ate, and we just thought it was wonderful." This is Zeng Yu's answer.

The second child of the restaurant saw that the guests who came to the restaurant to eat yesterday came again, and the one who walked in front of them turned out to be the county magistrate, so he hurriedly greeted him and said enthusiastically, "The little one meets the county magistrate, please come inside!" ”

"I've booked a private room, you can take us there." Cui Yuan nodded and said.

"Yes, the shopkeeper has already ordered that the room has been prepared for the adults, just waiting for the adults to arrive." It turned out that the shopkeeper knew that Cui Yuan was going to entertain guests here tonight, so he specially arranged for the shopkeeper to wait at the door.

"I didn't expect it, let's meet again." Zeng Yu said to the shopkeeper.

"Indeed, I didn't expect you to be the guest of honor that the county order in the mouth of the shopkeeper entertained tonight." Xiao Er replied with a smile.

"Why, you still know each other?" Cui Yuan heard the conversation between Zeng Yu and Xiao Er behind him and asked them.

"When we had dinner here yesterday, he entertained us, and we asked him about something." Hearing Cui Yuan's question, Zhao Yi replied beside him.

Xiao Er led a few people to the private room left by the shopkeeper for Cui Yuan, Eping is just a small county town, and there are few other big people who usually come over, so the best private room in the restaurant prepared by the shopkeeper.

The private room is in the highest place of the restaurant, and there is only this private room on the entire floor, and the location is very superior, and the private room can almost overlook a large surrounding street. In between, everyone on the street walked in an orderly manner, doing their own things, and the elderly and children could live peacefully or happily.

Because it is a private room set by the county order, the food is served quickly, in just half an hour, all the meals are served, Cui Yuan also ordered a jar of good wine, I heard that it is home-brewed by the shopkeeper, only here is sold.

Xiao Er poured wine glasses for each of them, Zeng Yu and the three of them stood up and raised their wine glasses, and saluted Cui Yuan together, "Thank you Uncle Cui for your hospitality, we toast you!" ”

Cui Yuan raised his glass and said, "I'm very happy that you guys can come, cheers everyone!" ”

"Good wine!" Zeng Yu and the three of them said in unison, Zeng Yu felt that this was the best wine he had drunk in his memory except for the three years in his dream.

"You guys are good for this, this wine was brewed by the old shopkeeper of the restaurant when he had his first son, and it was brewed with their family secret recipe, a total of 100 jars. The son of the old shopkeeper is now the shopkeeper, and when he began to take over the restaurant, he began to sell, and I heard that now there are less than ten jars left, and ordinary people can't buy them. Cui Yuan explained to them.

"No wonder when we came yesterday, Xiao Er didn't serve us this wine." Zeng Yu said.

"Little Er, fill them up." Cui Yuan instructed Xiao Er next to him.

"Lord, I..." Zhu Wen has always kept in mind to restrain himself, and he has never drunk until the end of the order, and at this time, he heard that Cui Yuan was going to continue to be full, and said hesitantly.

"My lord? You are..."Zhu Wen's sentence made Cui Yuan stunned, he always thought that the three of them were just friends in the same township, but now it seems that this is not the case.

As soon as Zhu Wen said it, he remembered that Cui Yuan was present, Zeng Yu and they also knew that Cui Yuan would definitely find out, and sure enough, Cui Yuan immediately asked, the three of them looked at each other, and finally Zhao Yi spoke.

"Uncle Cui, that's the case, Zirui is our eldest brother since childhood, this time we left to travel outside, we will worship him as the lord and follow him to make contributions together."

Cui Yuan nodded and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Zhu Wen interjected and said, "Yes, the lord has been better than us since he was a child, and we have also followed his plan to achieve today's results." Zeng Yu told them before that their identities were not intended to be kept secret from Cui Yuan, and if Cui Yuan knew, it would be okay to tell him.

"Little Er, you go out first." Cui Yuan instructed Xiao Er who was waiting next to him, and then continued to ask them, "Listen to what you mean, now that you have some achievements, you can tell me about it." ”

Zhao Yi looked at Zeng Yu and saw that he nodded, so he said, "Uncle Cui, Zirui is now the county magistrate of Anping County, Shangdang County, and both of us also serve in the county government. ”

Cui Yuan was really surprised at this time, because he had learned from Zhao Yi and others that they had only been away from home for less than a year. Although it is easy to enter the officialdom of the Han Dynasty now, a group of young people have sat on a county order in less than a year, but it is easy to only compare with the children of the family, but for Zeng Yu, it will be as difficult as the sky. Especially when I heard Zhao Yi say that they all served in the county government, it was obvious that Zeng Yu should have completely controlled the situation in Anping County, otherwise they would not have the leisure to hang out here.

"It's really a hero who doesn't ask about the boy, you are much stronger than when I was young, and when I was so old with you, I was still traveling around with Jing Fei." Cui Yuan sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Cui has won the award, it's all a coincidence, and with the help of a group of brothers, we still have a long way to go." Zeng Yu said modestly.

"Alright, Master Zeng, let's have one." Cui Yuan raised his wine glass and said to Zeng Yu.

"Uncle Cui, don't bury me, you should call me Zirui." Zeng Yu stood up and said with a bitter smile with a wine glass.

"Haha~haha~" Several people laughed.

Zeng Yu said to Zhu Wen, "Chengyong, I know how much you drink, you don't have to be too restrained today, and you can't get drunk with a jar of wine." Besides, Eping County is safe under Uncle Cui's governance, you can rest assured. ”

"Chengyong has always guarded Zeng Yu's safety, so he usually controls drinking." Zhao Yi explained to Cui Yuan on the side.

"Understand, if I have such a guard, I am also relieved. But you can rest assured, in my Eping County, I can't guarantee anything else, but you can rest assured that it is safe. Cui Yuan patted his chest and said.

Zhu Wen received Zeng Yu's signal, also picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "I also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, borrow Uncle Cui's wine to thank Uncle Cui for his hospitality, and thank you for the lord's trust in me." ”

"Okay, I'll drink this wine." Cui Yuan and Zhu Wen touched each other and dried up.

"Cheng Yong, good brother!" Zeng Yu was next to Zhu Wen, he patted Zhu Wen on the shoulder, picked up the wine glass and drank it.

Zhao Yi also stood up at the right time and toasted Cui Yuan. The more Zeng Yu they knew about Cui Yuan, the more they admired Cui Yuan's persistence, and Cui Yuan admired Zeng Yu's conversation before, and now he knows that his status is the same as his own, and the exchange is even more topical.
