Chapter 891: Greetings from the Three Prime Ministers
At the end of the court meeting, Cui Wenqing just walked out of the main hall and saw Yang Wenguang waiting in front of the railing.
Seeing Cui Wenqing, Yang Wenguang immediately stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha, Wenqing, you really did a good job this time, even the old man has a light on his face!" ”
"Hehe, my grandfather praised me." For Yang Wenguang, Cui Wenqing naturally had a natural cordiality, and walked up and said with a smile, "Luoyang, who arrived at dusk yesterday, went back directly to Zhefu because of the fatigue of the boat, and failed to come in time to greet my grandfather, so it was rude for me to say it." ”
"It's okay!" Yang Wenguang shook his hand, and then frowned, "But you are the only one in the Zhefu Mansion at the moment, wouldn't you be lonely and miserable living in it?" In the old man's opinion, it is better to move back to the Yang Mansion to live, which is convenient to take care of, and the bamboo garden has always been kept for you. ”
Cui Wenqing pondered slightly, but still refused with a wry smile: "Grandfather, now that the imperial court has given the mansion to the Zhe family, if I live in the Yang Mansion and not in the Zhe Mansion, I am afraid that I will be gossiped about, and it will be a little unfavorable to our two mansions, so in addition, I only have the best intentions of my grandfather." ”
Hearing this, although Yang Wenguang was a little disappointed, he also understood that it was taboo for the ministers to make friends with the generals who led the troops abroad, and as the privy envoy in charge of the military of Daqi, he also needed to maintain a certain superficial distance from the Zhi family at some times, even if Zhi Zhao was his granddaughter, which was good for both parties.
So, Yang Wenguang said: "In this case, well, if you are free, you still come to Yang's house often, Zhexiu and Shikui are both thinking about you." ”
Cui Wenqing nodded to show that he understood, and then watched Yang Wenguang go down the stairs.
Looking at Yang Wenguang's back, Cui Wenqing thought of Yang Huaijin, who was a concubine of the Liao Kingdom, and was so depressed that he couldn't speak, so he had to sigh depressed.
If my grandfather knew the news of Yang Huaijin's defection to the enemy and treason, I was afraid that he would be very sad, so it was a very correct choice to hide it from the Yang family for the time being.
Just as he sighed, an old teasing laugh came from behind him: "What? Sighed just after being promoted? Is it because the reward is not enough? ”
Cui Wenqing was slightly stunned, but when he heard the voice, he turned his head and saw that it was the teacher Wang Anshi, and hurriedly bowed and said, "The student has seen the teacher." ”
"Haha, okay, don't be polite, get up." Wang Anshi personally stepped forward to help Cui Wenqing up, squinted at him with old eyes, and said with a smile: "Well, it's dark, and I've lost weight, I'm afraid that I won't suffer less in the four states of the Northland, right?" ”
Cui Wenqing smiled indifferently: "Only when you lose weight can you reflect the hardships of the trip to the four states of the Northland, so that you will not discredit the teacher, your old man." ”
Wang Anshi nodded, seeing that there were still many colleagues around, and the old enemy Sima Guang was also standing not far away, knowing that this was not the place to speak, he held Cui Wenqing's palm and patted the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "Come and sit in the teacher's house when you have time, you know?" ”
Cui Wenqing nodded vigorously and said, "Students understand that students still have to ask the teacher for advice." ”
The words fell, and the master and apprentice exchanged a look in understanding, and Wang Anshi left.
This scene was enough to make the surrounding princes and ministers breathtaking.
This Cui Wenqing is worthy of being a celebrity in the court, and the official family appreciates his affection, but I didn't expect that just after the court, even the prime ministers Yang Wenguang and Wang Anshi came to ask for warmth, such treatment is really admirable and envious.
However, the surprise of the ministers was not over, and as soon as Wang Anshi walked down the steps, Sima Guang, who had been standing not far away, suddenly walked to Cui Wenqing's side, and said in a light tone: "Lord Cui, how about we talk?" ”
Suddenly seeing this scene, the ministers who were watching secretly were almost round in their eyes.
In the court, Sima Guang has always been known for being old-fashioned and stern, and he pursues no party, no selfishness, and has almost no friends in the court.
Facing the sudden Sima Guang, Cui Wenqing was also quite surprised in his heart, he didn't know what Sima Guang wanted, and when he thought that this person was Sima Wei's father, he was a little flustered, and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Lord Sima, my lord is polite, and the lower officials will naturally obey the order." ”
Sima Guang nodded, looked at the curious ministers around him, snorted imperceptibly, and said coldly to Cui Wenqing: "Since this is the case, then you can go with me." With that, he went down the stairs with his hands behind his back.
Cui Wenqing didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly followed.
The two of them walked down the steps one after the other, and went out of the dragon head road and went around the palace road on the side of the square.
When he reached the corner of the palace road, Sima Guang, who had been walking silently with his hands on his hands, suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Cui Wenqing sharply, with an unknown meaning flowing in his eyes.
Being stared at by Sima Guang like this, Rao is Cui Wenqing's composure, and he couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp at the moment, so he hurriedly forced himself to calm down and smiled reluctantly: "Uh...... This, Lord Sima, I don't know why you are looking for the official office? ”
Sima Guang's old eyes were still on Cui Wenqing's face and did not move away at all, and after seeing that Cui Wenqing was embarrassed, he said coldly: "Master Cui, the old man thanked you for sacrificing your life to save the little girl in the past, and also thanked you for saving her life when Mingjiao endangered the safety of the little girl. ”
"Dare to love this future old Taishan made a special trip to thank me?"
Hearing this, Cui Wenqing was stunned, and he couldn't figure out Sima Guang's intentions, so he hurriedly smiled: "How dare you, I, Cui Wenqing, am not the kind of person who wants to repay the favor, and saving Miss Sima is also something that the lower officials should do, and I really don't deserve a word of thanks from Master Sima." ”
"You're welcome! Kindness is kindness, the old man remembers it very clearly! Sima Wei's face was still cold, and her tone suddenly became serious, "But in the old man's opinion, the relationship between Master Cui and the little girl seems to have gone a little overstepping." ”
"What?! Beyond?! ”
Cui Wenqing was taken aback, thinking that Sima Guang knew something, his face suddenly turned a little pale, and his first thought was to turn around and run away, so as not to be beaten by his father.
However, he can be regarded as a strong-willed person, so he steadied his body and stood still, so he didn't turn around and run away, and asked with a puzzled smile: "Lord Sima, Miss Sima and I are classmates of Guozijian, and we have a good relationship with each other. ”
