The next day, a surprise invitation was sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Zhenwu Army.

Looking at the text of Juanxiu on the invitation, Cui Wenqing smiled dumbly and said, "What? Wu Duzhi invited me to a banquet? ”

The old man who came to send the invitation said with a smile: "That day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Master Cui, you relied on the word a poem, so that a library of poetry society won the top of the collection, Wu Duzhi admired your literary talent very much, just because there were many people that day, it was inconvenient to talk with the adults in detail, and now I have some free time, so I want to invite you to go to the banquet to talk at night with candles, sing and poems, and talk about elegance." ”

After listening to the old man's words, Cui Wenqing inadvertently glanced at the screen not far away, smiled bitterly on his face, and secretly said: It's really not the right time!

Don't think about it, he folded the invitation card in his hand in half, handed it to the old man and said with a smile: "To be honest, I have no interest in those poems and words at all, and besides, I am a person with a wife, if the lady knows that I am talking with a strange woman and a lonely man and widow at night, I am afraid that something is wrong, so it is better to avoid going to the banquet." ”

"My lord, you ......" The old man obviously didn't expect Cui Wenqing to refuse in person, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while.

Cui Wenqing smiled and suggested: "Otherwise, how about Wu Duzhi invite Su Gongzi?" Su Gongzi has an elegant character and outstanding poetry, and he also very much hopes to have in-depth exchanges with Wu Duzhi, and I believe that the two of them will be able to talk happily together. After speaking, he waved his hand gently, and the meaning of sending off the guest was very obvious.

The old man was so disappointed that he had to go.

Seeing the back of the old man leaving, Cui Wenqing wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, got up and smiled awkwardly behind the screen: "General Mu, this person has left, you can come out." ”

With a soft cold snort, a person turned out from behind the screen, and it was Mu Wan in a samurai suit.

She glanced at Cui Wenqing with beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are having a good life this day, and there are even Qinglou women who are invited, I believe that the Metropolitan Governor will be very surprised if he knows about it." ”

"Hey, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Cui Wenqing waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile and crying, "I just wrote a few poems on the poetry collection that day, but I didn't expect to be remembered by this Wu Duzhi, speaking of which, I didn't do anything, and the invitation was just what she meant, and the lady was busy with military affairs, so don't bother her with this little thing." ”

"Humph!" Mu Wan snorted coldly, glared at Cui Wenqing and said, "This time, the Metropolitan Governor asked me to come to greet Master Chen and all of you Jin Shilang to go to Xuzhou, and before leaving, he made a special trip to ask me to see what you are busy with, uncle, but I didn't expect that uncle, you are not only busy, but the peach blossoms are constantly lucky." ”

Cui Wenqing said with an embarrassed face: "Even if there is really peach blossom luck, I don't dare to mess with it." ”

Seeing Cui Wenqing like this, Mu Wan finally couldn't help laughing: "Count your acquaintance, uncle, just now unswervingly rejected the invitation of the foxy woman, okay, this time Aunt Rao, you are a horse, I will not tell the governor of the capital about this little matter." ”

Cui Wenqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly said in his heart: With you hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping, Uncle Ben can't even agree to it!

In the Pengyunlou Inn, after listening to the old man's rather helpless advice, Yi Zuo couldn't help but be very dull, and only after half a sound did he say with a general feeling: "I didn't expect that this Cui Wenqing is really a righteous gentleman, and he doesn't like women at all." ”

It seems that she had expected such an ending a long time ago, Lu Ruoxuan did not have the slightest surprise on her face, and sneered: "I told you a long time ago that Cui Wenqing is not an ordinary man, if you treat him in an ordinary way, how can he come at the appointment?" ”

Yi Zuo raised his head, his eyes looked at her coldly through the holes in the bronze mask, and after Lu Ruoxuan, who was looking directly, felt a little uncomfortable, he said lightly: "With Patriarch Lu's appearance, the envoy believes that Cui Wenqing will definitely be tempted, is this move his desire to capture and indulge?" ”

Lu Ruoxuan sneered: "Do you think that with a busy person like Cui Wenqing, there will be a way to play and indulge in indulgence?" It seems that you really miscalculated this time. ”

Yi Zuo's envoy was silent again after hearing the words, and after half a sound, he thought about it and snorted coldly: "This method can't be done, it seems that there is only another way to find another way, this time the envoy will stage a good show of heroes saving the United States, I don't believe that Cui Wenqing is not fooled yet, if Cui Wenqing comes forward tomorrow, you will say so......"

There was another whisper, and the conspiracy was quietly unfolding in the room.

In the early morning of the next day, Cui Wenqing personally went to the gate of the city to send Chen Ningmo and the Jinshi to Xuzhou.

Seeing that the horse team gradually disappeared at the end of the official road, Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "This time, the lady invited Bachelor Chen to go to Xuzhou, and she didn't need to ask because she wanted Bachelor to take a look at the training and animal husbandry of the new army. ”

Su Shi nodded and smiled: "In particular, the training of the new army that you invented is said to have aroused a very big controversy in the DPRK and China, and the military is divided into two factions. ”

"Oh?" Cui Wenqing suddenly became interested and said with a smile, "What's the situation?" Let's hear it. ”

Su Shi knew that this was a long talk, so he simply got off the horse and motioned Cui Wenqing to go up to the city tower, and said to Cui Wenqing as he walked: "As far as the current military forces are concerned, they are divided into the old Zhuang faction headed by the privy envoy Yang Wenguang and the young Zhuang faction headed by the privy deputy envoy Xie Junhao. ”

The words fell, and as soon as the two of them walked up to the city tower, Cui Wenqing stopped, held the battlements with his hand and sneered: "This Prime Minister Xie Junhao is really a typical person who is not right, as long as it is something that I Cui Wenqing supports, Xie Junhao will definitely oppose it." ”

Su Shi smiled happily: "Haha, who made you offend him so much before, and also used the iron ball of Na Laoshzi to slap Xie Junhao in the face, it's no wonder that he doesn't hold a grudge against you." ”

After saying this, Su Shi smiled with emotion: "But even if you offend Xie Junhao, this person will not dare to touch you easily." ”

"Why?" Cui Wenqing felt strange.

Su Shi glanced at Cui Wenqing, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you are the husband of the Governor of Zhenwu Army, and you are the student of Prime Minister Wang Anshi, the grandson-in-law of Prime Minister Yang Wenguang, and may become the son-in-law of Prime Minister Sima in the future. ”

Cui Wenqing was embarrassed when he heard what he said, and shook his hand with a wry smile: "I haven't talked to Sima Wei yet." ”

Su Shi said with a smile: "So, you have to work harder to win Sima Wei, maybe the contradiction between Sima Xianggong and An Shi Xianggong will be solved by you." ”

Cui Wenqing couldn't cry or laugh, and then thought about something, and wanted to tell Su Shi about Wu Rouxuan's invitation, but then thought about it, worried that Su Shi didn't receive the invitation, wouldn't it embarrass Su Shi? So I could only keep silent.
