Chapter 302: Contradicting the Elders
While he was thinking about it, the guard who had gone to tell him just now had already walked quickly with a person.
This person is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a round-necked light blue white-rimmed robe, thick eyebrows inserted into the sideburns like a sword, his eyes are calm like a pool of deep water, two deep nasolabial folds on the face of the Chinese character, the lip line is distinct, and the chin is short.
"Your Excellency is Cui Wenqing?" The handsome man looked at Cui Wenqing and spoke.
Cui Wenqing bowed his head and said: "It's Cui Wenqing below, I don't know ...... Your Excellency"
Before he could say a word, the handsome man suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, and he had already gone down the steps and said: "It turns out that it is really Cui's brother-in-law, a certain name is Yang Shikui, who is the husband of Zhexiu, and I have heard the name of my brother-in-law for a long time, and I am very happy to see it today." ”
Cui Wenqing then understood the identity of the heroic man, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a brother-in-law, and I came to Yang Mansion to meet at the order of my mother, but I was greeted by Brother-in-law Lao." ”
"Where's my brother-in-law!" Yang Shikui's affectionate attachment Cui Wenqing's hand said, "Last month, Ah Zhao has passed on a family letter, stating that his brother-in-law is going to come to Luoyang to study, and these days coincide with my grandfather's departure to patrol Chang'an and not be in the house, but the uncle and father are already waiting for you in the main hall, let's go in quickly." ”
"Good!" Cui Wenqing nodded, and hurriedly turned around and instructed the coachman to drive the carriage into the carriage and racecourse, and then took the lotus leaves and headed towards the main hall of the Yang Mansion.
Stepping into the Aconitum Gate, there is a wide front yard.
There are flowers, grass and trees in the courtyard, there are two rows of mahogany halberd stands under the steps of the main hall, and the fourteen-pole Fangtian painting halberd shines in the afternoon sun, flowing with the cold luster of broken gold and jade.
The Yang family's spear can be said to be a household name, but Cui Wenqing knows that this halberd is not a weapon placed here for the Yang family to use in martial arts, but is used to express the prestige in front of the dignitary's private door, and the number of halberds is usually used to indicate the illustrious degree of the owner of the mansion.
It is said that the number of halberds in the palace is eighteen, which is the most noble, and a family with fourteen halberds like the Yang family, even in Luoyang, which is full of nobles, is also very good.
Walking through the front yard, Yang Shikui took Cui Wenqing to the main hall.
The main hall of the Yang family is wide and bright, the white jade square bricks on the ground can be seen, the pear blossom wooden chairs used for hospitality are neatly arranged, and the Bogu frame is full of treasures.
Directly north, under the plaque of "Full of Loyalty" hanging in the center, two men in their early forties are sitting.
One person's face is as white as jade, the lines on his face are resolute and profound, graceful and heroic, and a silver-white beard hangs straight down to his chest.
The other man had a dark complexion, and a pair of tangled sideburns and beards on his rough face were sprayed like hedgehogs, quite like a warrior.
When Cui Wenqing heard Yang Shikui's words just now, he knew that these two people were Yang Wenguang's eldest son Yang Huairen and third son Yang Huaiyu, and he couldn't identify the identities of the two at the moment, so he had to say vaguely: "Little nephew Cui Wenqing, I have seen the eldest uncle and the third uncle." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a hearty laugh, but it was the middle-aged man with a white face who said with a white face: "You are Cui Wenqing, haha, sure enough, a talent, Ah Zhao's girl has a good eye, not bad......"
Cui Wenqing was secretly happy, but the black-faced man snorted coldly: "Ah Zhao is against etiquette to marry without the consent of the elders, and I haven't even asked her to settle accounts, but I didn't expect that this time her husband-in-law who came from nowhere would dare to enter the door of my Yang family, which is really a joke." ”
Hearing this, Cui Wenqing was overjoyed and angry, and secretly wondered: Who is this old boy? Talk so untutored!
"Big brother, don't say that." The white-faced man seemed to be afraid that Cui Wenqing would be angry, so he hurriedly smiled and explained, "You don't know Ah Zhao's temper, her temperament is the same as his father, she is as stubborn as a cow, as long as she believes in something, eight horses can't pull it back, besides, Ah Zhao has had a marriage contract with Cui Lang since she was a child, and she is also ordered by her parents." ”
"Humph! What a parent's order! San Lang knows how to say good things for that girl! The black-faced man was obviously angry, "She didn't even know about her father in advance, she was completely in charge, and she did it indiscriminately, do you know how many times Sima Xianggong had told his father how many times he wanted to marry Ah Zhao for his son Sima Tang, didn't she Ah Zhao count in her heart!" I don't think of my elders at all. ”
At this point, the white-faced man was obviously a little embarrassed, looked at Cui Wenqing and looked at him again and again, signaling him not to go to his heart.
From the conversation between the two just now, Cui Wenqing had already heard that the person with a white face was Yang Huaiyu, the third son of the Yang family, and the person with a black face was the eldest son Yang Huairen.
Originally, he was nagged by the elders for a few words, but he could completely endure this evil breath, not only for the sake of Zhezhao, but also for the Yang family general, who was most respected in his heart.
However, Yang Huairen should not have pulled Sima Tang in, and he also scolded Zhe Zhao many times in his words, Cui Wenqing naturally couldn't bear this evil breath, and said: "This ...... Uncle, right? ”
Yang Huairen snorted coldly, looked at him and said with a frosty voice: "Don't call me uncle, I haven't admitted the matter between you and Zhe Zhao, so there is no need to be so affectionate." ”
Cui Wenqing nodded: "I call you uncle because I respect you, since you don't know how to lift, then okay, Yang Huairen ......"
There was a loud "pop", Yang Huairen was furious, and shouted, "Bold and crazy, how can you call Yang Huairen's name?" ”
Cui Wenqing pretended to be surprised and said with a smile: "Your Excellency didn't let me call my uncle just now, and in desperation, I can only call you by your real name, what's the matter, still not satisfied?" Or old Yang...... Xiao Yang ......"
Hearing this, Yang Huairen's muscles jumped violently, and he laughed angrily: "Ignorant fanatic, he actually despises the imperial court officials like this, Ah Zhao is the good husband he is looking for, so arrogant and rude." ”
Yang Huaiyu saw that it was wrong, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, big brother, Cui Lang came to our Yang family for the first time, and it is inevitable that there will be rudeness, so don't look at it." After that, he slammed the color at Cui Wenqing again, "Wenqing, don't apologize to your uncle quickly." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Huairen said coldly: "This is not a matter of disrespect, but a matter of his attitude. ”
Cui Wenqing smiled calmly, and then sighed lightly: "I still remember that when I left Fuzhou, the lady told me that after I arrived in Luoyang, the first thing was to go to the Yang Mansion to meet the elders, and I didn't dare to live up to the trust of the lady, and I admired the Yang family, so I ignored the color of the wind and dust, and the fatigue of the journey, I came to visit, and saw the two uncles, which can be regarded as polite and courteous, and I said hello, but I didn't expect you, uncle, to talk about my lady's eyes and stubborn temper, Sima Tang, the dog who didn't choose Sima Xianggong, chose the unknown Cui Wenqing, and his words were full of reprimands and insults for my husband and wife. ”
Gently speaking, Yang Huaiyu was obviously stunned for a moment, thinking slightly, but smiling faintly.
Yang Huairen sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, he was born with sharp teeth, young man, you remember the clever words." After that, he said no more, and walked away.
