Happy New Year to all of you! I went to the old man's house and sat in a hurry for more than half an hour, and after eating a few dumplings, I rushed back to code words, sweating......

————————————————————————————

In the hall, Cui Ju grinned contentedly, feeling too face-saving, this should be the most glorious, decent and grand birthday he has ever had in the past ten years.

If Princess Yuzhen came to congratulate, it would be for Cui Ying's sake; And the civil and military magnates of the Manchu Dynasty came uninvited, and what they valued was the face of their son-in-law Zhang Xuan. And it is very obvious that the concubine Niangniang drove to the scene in person, also because of Zhang Xuan.

Yang Yuhuan turned out to be the concubine Niangniang, the de facto "queen" of the current court, and she went out of the palace to the Cui family to congratulate her, which undoubtedly had a certain "official color" - this made Cui Ju feel very honored.

Princess Yuzhen's first VIP position was transferred to Yang Yuhuan, and then Yuzhen second, Wang Liqi, Princess Xianyi, Yang Qi and Princess Taihua were the royal relatives again, and many courtiers and magnates took their turn to the periphery.

Cui Ju looked left and right, and saw that the two sides surrounding his main seat were all the existences that needed to be looked up to in the past, and the excitement in his heart could be imagined.

However, he was not satisfied. The background of the Gaomen family gave him a good cultivation and etiquette.

Cui Ju settled down, got up side by side with Mrs. Shu, bowed to Yang Yuhuan, Princess Yuzhen Li Zhiying and others, and shouted loudly, "The minister's cheap Chen, with Lao Niangniang and your Royal Highnesses, I am really ashamed." ”

Yang Yuhuan waved his hand, but subconsciously glanced at Zhang Xuan secretly, and said with a smile, "Lord Cui doesn't need to be polite...... The palace is here, it is nothing more than to have a good time, and I have been bored in the palace for a long time, so I came out to relax. ”

Princess Yuzhen also smiled, "Okay, Master Cui, let's have a banquet, everyone is tired of waiting." ”

Ju and suffocated stood up and beckoned his subordinates to open the table.

According to the basic etiquette, after the three rounds of drinking, it is the link for the younger generations of the Cui family to pay homage to Cui Ju in public.

Cui Ju has a total of two sons and one daughter, plus the juniors in other mansions of the Cui family, a total of more than 30 people need to pay homage to their birthdays.

Although it is an orderly young and old, Cui Huan will still be the first to enter the scene tomorrow, Cui Jin and his wife Song, son Cui Kun and then ∨ Xuan and Cui Ying together☆ Later, Cui Ju's nephews and nieces of the same clan are the like.

Cui Huan Shi Ran came out of the queue and took the lead in bowing to Cui Ju and his wife, "My son wishes my father good fortune such as the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan, and I wish my mother good health and good luck in everything!" ”

To tell the truth, Cui Huan is also a famous talent and celebrity in Chang'an City, before Zhang Xuan was born and escaped, because of his talent and good family background, he was almost the leader of the young generation of scholars in Chang'an. And people are also born extremely beautiful and upright, and they are very generous. It's just that under Zhang Xuan's dazzling light, his brilliance has been obscured a lot.

The Tang Dynasty attaches the most importance to Fengyi, and attaches great importance to all the tools that are outwardly empty-headed, and the entry of the refreshed Cui Huan immediately caused some low cheers and admiration.

And when Cui Huan raised his head, he suddenly found that the beautiful girl who was sitting beside Zhang Xuan's mother, Mrs. Liu, threw a light glance at him, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look back.

The girl was stared at by his slightly eager gaze, and immediately looked away quickly and lowered her head.

Na Ne is extremely delicate, which makes people feel a little pity.

Cui Huan couldn't help but look stupid, and completely forgot that the occasion was wrong at the moment.

Cui Ju and Mrs. Suffocation glanced at each other in surprise, then glanced at the girl beside Liu's side, and then coughed lightly.

Cui Huan suddenly came back to his senses, blushed and lowered his head.

Cui Huan's "actions" have fallen into the eyes of many people, including Zhang Xuan and Cui Ying.

Zhang Xuan was very surprised, but his heart moved.

Cui Huan is a famous family, has both ability and political integrity, and has not yet married a wife - he can be regarded as an excellent match for Li Xiuxiu. Looking at these two people, it seems that they have also developed a faint and hazy affection.

Cui Yingyan couldn't tell what Zhang Xuan was thinking, but Cui Ying knew Li Xiuxiu's life experience, but she secretly shook her head in her heart. According to Li Xiuxiu, she is also considered a famous family, but she once fell into the Teaching Workshop Division - although Li Xiuxiu is just an innocent music singer in the Teaching Workshop Division, and her body is innocent, but in the end, she fell into the family, and her life experience left a fatal stain.

The Cui family is a famous family, Cui Ju will not agree to Cui Huan marrying a former teacher singer tomorrow no matter what.

You must know that Cui Huan will inherit the mantle of the Cui family in the future and become the next generation of the head of the Cui family, and his wife is the wife of the head of the family, and this identity cannot be ambiguous.

Zhang Xuan glanced back at Cui Ying, understanding Cui Ying's worries and thoughts, but he was very disapproving.

However, this matter is not urgent, and we will see the situation.

If there is really a relationship between Li Xiuxiu and Cui Huan, he will definitely do his best to make this marriage.

used to be a bird in the past, just because Li Xiuxiu is now the righteous daughter of the Liu family and the sister-in-law of Zhang Xuan, the general of the two guards, such an identity is enough for Cui Huan.

Yang Yuhuan also looked at Li Xiuxiu curiously, and said with a light smile, "Mrs. Liu, whose sister is this, her appearance is beautiful and her temperament is calm and stern, which is really good." ”

Liu got up with a smile and saluted Yang Yuhuan and said, "Guifei Niangniang, this is Xiuxiu, the daughter of the old man who has just recognized-Xiuxiu, why don't you get up to meet Guifei Niangniang?" ”

The Liu family got up and gave a salute, and no one present thought that Yang Yuhuan would get up and avoid it▲ Although the family is the wife of the minister, but Zhang Xuan's mother, how dare Yang Yuhuan, who has a vague heart, accept the gift of the Liu family?

In order to cover up his "gaffe", Yang Yuhuan walked over with a smile and took Li Xiuxiu's hand to ask long and short questions, which was very affectionate. Fortunately, no one thought about it elsewhere, but I just thought that the concubine might like this girl who seemed to be very well-behaved.

Li Xiuxiu's character is already weak, and coupled with her difficult fate, she has always suppressed the girl's heart. Now seeing the concubine holding her hand like this, she was also a little helpless for a while, her pretty face turned red, and she didn't dare to say a word.

Liu stood aside and sighed secretly, and explained for her with a smile, "Niangniang, this kid is bold and rude, and I hope Niangniang won't blame her." ”

Yang Yuhuan went to talk to Li Xiuxiu, but he was passively covering it up, but after listening to Liu's words, he immediately smiled and waved his hand and took the opportunity to walk back.

During the conversation, Cui Jin and his wife also stepped forward with their young son to pay tribute to Cui Ju's birthday.

It's over, it's Zhang Xuan and Cui Ying's turn.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were almost focused on him, Zhang Xuan felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he felt like a monkey. It's just about etiquette and Cui Ying's face, and he can't help it.

He froze, and stood up with a smile. Then, he took a step forward sideways and stretched out his hand to Cui Ying.

As soon as he stretched out his hand in public, Cui Ying's face turned red, but he still had the courage to stretch out his hand and let Zhang Xuan hold it.

The two walked side by side, and the talented and beautiful women were in love, envying many of the sons and sisters present.

Xiao Fu's face became a little pale, until now, although he knew that he had no hope for Cui Ying, and slowly began to accept the reality of Cui Ying marrying Zhang Xuan, but seeing the two of them so loving in person, he still couldn't help himself with the ups and downs in his heart.

Yang Yuhuan's face was also a little complicated.

"Son-in-law, I wish my father-in-law good fortune, such as Dong, hey than Nanshan!"

According to Zhang Xuan's identity at the moment, he can bow to Cui Ju and bow to him, but in the end, his powerful position is much higher than Cui Ju. But even Cui Ying didn't expect that Zhang Xuan would kneel down and bow down.

Cui Ying's heart warmed, until Lang Jun took pity on himself this time and contributed to the prestige of the Cui family, so he also knelt beside Zhang Xuan with great joy.

……

……

The Cui family's birthday banquet was dispersed happily.

Zhang Xuan left Cui's Mansion, and halfway back to the General's Mansion, he received an urgent report from Zhou Xuchu, the long history. When Yunyu Lin Wei was guarding the whole city to perform his duty of patrolling on time, he accidentally discovered a stronghold left by the remnants of King Rong's Mansion.

The Yulin guards originally wanted to outflank this private house, and then ask the officials to decide on the action, but the remnants of King Rong in the private house found that the line was exposed, and immediately attacked and killed, and Yulin Wei was caught off guard and had to respond in a hurry.

The result of the fierce battle between dozens of black-clothed people and more than 100 Yu Linwei can be imagined, but these black-clothed people should be the dead soldiers that Li Wan had raised before, with superb martial arts, fierce and bloodthirsty, and under desperate resistance, Yu Linwei suffered heavy casualties.

More than 100 Lin Wei, who were three times the enemy, besieged dozens of black-clothed people, and more than half of them were killed or wounded, which shows the combat effectiveness of these Rong Wang dead soldiers.

When Zhang Xuan heard the report, his face changed suddenly.

He was originally worried that there were still remnants of the Rongwang Mansion lurking in this city, so he ordered Yu Linwei to strengthen his defense recently, and divided into several teams of men to patrol the whole city on time every morning, afternoon and night. It was normal to find out that King Rong's remnants were evil, but he dared to openly resist and kill so many Yu Linwei, so he couldn't help but be shocked.

It's not a question of guts, it's a question of whether there's a deeper structure behind it.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "Let's go back to the house slowly and take the official to the scene to see." ”

……

……

Zhang Xuan threw away the carriage, and under the escort of several soldiers, he rode to a small mansion in the west corner of the city, which was only one street away from the Kaiyuan Gate.

This is the scene of the battle between Yu Linwei and the man in black just now, it was a mess, the ground and the courtyard wall were stained with blood, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

General Shi Zhou Xuchu and Captain Xiao Shisanlang were directing more than 100 Yulin guards to clean up the scene, and on one side of the entrance of the house, the corpses of dozens of dead Yulin guards were neatly stacked.

Seeing Zhang Xuan coming, Zhou Xuchu and Xiao Shisanlang hurriedly greeted him.

And those Yulin guards also had their own ellipses, consciously lined up on both sides, greeting the general.

"General!" Zhou Xuchu bowed and saluted.

Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, crossed Zhou Xuchu's shoulder with a sinking face, stared at the bloody corpse on that side, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly
