Chapter 101: A Peach Blossom Plan (Part II)
Scholar Cui Hu was young and frivolous, and took the opportunity of the exam to expose the envoys of the Tang Festival, which caused an uproar in the government and the opposition, and sounded a wake-up call to the current emperor. In view of Cui Hu's concern for the safety of the Tang Dynasty and his life, the saint opened up and let Cui Hu go.
Jiang Rui is looking for an outstanding and top-ranked candidate for the imperial examination, hoping to support and nurture him to complete the mission of eliminating malpractices for the Holy Dynasty.
Cui Hu was born out of thin air, and he also gave Jiangrui a reassuring pill.
The matter of his beloved daughter Jiang Tao's entry into Dali Temple is imminent, and Jiang Rui has put aside contact with Cui Hu for the time being. When everything goes well, I will go to meet this outstanding and talented young man for a while.
Jiang Rui didn't expect her beloved daughter to meet Cui Huri at all, seeing that Jiang Tao had a wave of love in her heart, Jiang Rui, as her father, didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Men should get married, and women should get married, it's a matter of course. The beloved daughter and Cui Hu are really fated to become a couple, isn't it a beautiful thing?
Jiang Rui was only afraid that the two of them would indulge in the love of men and women, and the youthful ambition would be worn out, and the plan he had painstakingly deployed would come to naught.
There is no father in the world who doesn't want his daughter to be happy, even if Jiangrui has thousands of reasons, how can he bear to cut off the love seedling that has just grown in his daughter's heart? I just hope that as time goes by, Jiang Tao can calmly deal with this chance encounter between her and Cui Hu.
※Cui Hu returned to the post station and studied hard in the cold window.
He did not read the subjects required for the imperial examination, but general histories and strategies such as "Historical Records" and "The Art of War". He draws on the strengths of others, brainstorms, and looks forward to repeating last year's scene and introducing his philosophy of governance on the day of next year's entrance examination.
Cui Hu knew that this move was too risky, and Shengshang would never tolerate a mere candidate challenging the Tang Imperial Examination again and again, again and again, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to escape the autumn exam next year.
Cui Hu is not afraid of death, and he is afraid that the first attempt of death will not reveal the shortcomings of the government. It's just that Chengnan said goodbye to the young woman Jiang Tao, and he had a little more inexplicable concern.
With concern, people begin to be distracted. Cui Hu stared at the sky outside the post station every day, only looking forward to the spring breeze and the green willow bank, and dreamed back to Nanzhuang all night.
In the early spring of the following year, Chunyu stepped on wet footprints and knocked on the window to say hello to Cui Hu. Cui Hu put down the book, looked at the spring rain outside the window, and a spring rain also ticked in his heart, the rain ticked his heart, and his thoughts had already flown to the suburbs of Hemo, and flew to the peach blossom hut.
The rain cleared, a rainbow hung in the sky, and there was a trace of ambiguity in the air. Today is a good day, a good day to reunite, Cui Hu rushed to the south of the city with great interest.
The grass was green, the road was muddy, and the water drenched his trouser legs, and he ignored it; The wind ruffled his hair, and he relied on it.
In the blink of an eye, the river is in sight, and the wicker by the river has just been washed by the rain, and it looks greener. The river was babbling into the fields, like his eagerness and excitement.
After crossing the river, it is the peach orchard.
The peach blossoms are like the tears of a lover, and they can't tell whether they are tears of lovesickness or tears of joy.
Nanzhuang is still the same, and the small courtyard is still the same.
Cui Hu quickened his pace and walked towards the courtyard gate, just as he repeated the scene of knocking on the door to ask for tea, his eyes fell on the door knocker, which was covered with a copper lock, and his heart was empty all of a sudden.
Cui Hu looked across the bamboo fence, the house was empty, there was silence all around, only the flowers bloomed as before.
Things are wrong, Cui Hu's heart was half cold, he circled around the fence a few times, but he still didn't see the master return.
The peach blossoms are in the wind, and Cui is guarding under the peach tree. The falling flowers were colorful, and the peach blossoms stained his placket and dyed his green shirt red.
It was not early, Cui Hu sighed, and wanted to leave or stay. Inadvertently glimpsed a small square pond on the side of the house, Cui Hu moved his footsteps and walked to the edge of the pond.
The pool water is like ink, and it turned out to be a pen washing pool. A pool of ink fragrance amazed the spring light and shocked Cui Hu's mind: the beautiful woman he met was definitely not an ordinary woman.
There is a pen inkstone next to the pool, Cui Hu thought for a long time, caught the pen and returned to the hospital, not for anything else, just for his heart, I hope his heart, she can read.
So, his ink was left on the chai door, and the ink was dripping, just as he was boundless and infinitely melancholy:
Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the human face are red;
I don't know where to go? The peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze
After pondering for a moment, he inscribed the words "Boling Cui Hu" and left in abruptness.
On the firewood door, the copper lock glows with blue light, guarding Cui Hu's heart, guarding this song "Title Capital City Nanzhuang", this guard turned out to be a thousand years.
Peach blossoms laugh and are stupid, and it is too late to laugh at Cui Hu. It's a pity that Cui Hu didn't leave the post station, and he didn't know that Jiang Tao had served Dali Temple for a year, and became a flower that changed the color of the underworld, and a flower in Dali Temple.
※ As soon as Cui Hu left, Jiang Rui returned to Nanzhuang, and saw the ink on the door at a glance, and saw the payment of "Boling Cui Hu", Jiang Rui was stunned for a long time before remembering to open the lock.
Jiangrui opened the courtyard door, but he couldn't open it. He turned around several times and found out that Cui Hu was staying at the post station in Chang'an, so he went to visit, but Cui Hu closed the door and turned him away every time.
In front of him, Cui Hu inscribed this poem on the chaimen, and when he read it, he knew that the person with the title poem was in love and couldn't dial himself.
Love to the extreme, it becomes pain.
That's exactly what Jangrui was worried about.
"A gentleman is unparalleled in the world, and a stranger is like jade." Cui Hu, who is both talented and good-looking, can become his fast son-in-law, and Jiang Rui can't ask for it. The problem is that Cui Hu is a person with great ambitions, and in time, he will become a great tool.
Jiang Rui didn't want Cui Hu to sink into the entanglement of love too early. I have to think of a way to cheer up Cui Hu, work hard, return to the top state, win the champion of this year's autumn exam, and step into the gate of the Holy Dynasty.
Jiang Rui concluded that Cui Hu would not give up when he saw Jiang Tao, and he was ready to leave early tomorrow morning to pick up Jiang Tao and let Jiang Tao and Cui Hu meet each other.
Whether the two of them express their intentions or complain to each other, as long as Jiang Tao can persuade Cui Hu to abide by the imperial examination regulations and take the exam honestly.
Once you're at the top, are you afraid you won't be able to show your ambitions?
However, it was not a coincidence, and Jiang Tao went to the important town in the south of the Yangtze River to handle the case.
Jiang Rui went to Dali Temple to pounce on the air, so he had to go home, and he saw a scholar stumbling in front of the hut from afar, which made him extremely uneasy.
Cui Hu was trapped by love, like going mad. Jiang Rui secretly complained in his heart, he didn't know how to face this frustrated young man, so he had to quietly hide aside and make plans again.
The sun is thin, the sky and the earth are chaotic, and Cui Hu left gloomily.
Cui Hu was far away, lonely, and Jiangrui's heart hurt with him.
The moonlight is shrouded, and Jiangrui's heart is as heavy as a stone: you have to think of a way to do both worlds, which can not only make Cui Hu the high school emperor, but also make the relationship between Cui Hu and his beloved daughter go to the next level.
After thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Rui came up with a plan: why not invite Jiang Tao's cousin Jiang Niang to meet Jiang Tao and Cui Hu instead? Jiang Niang pretended to be Jiang Tao because she missed Cui Hu Cheng, she couldn't afford to be sick and couldn't speak, and then he booked this family business on behalf of her daughter.
Of course, there is one condition: Cui Hu must be tested for fame.
Jiangrui and his brother are brothers in love, and coincidentally, the two cousins are also carved out of a mold, like sisters in love. Cui Hu has only seen Jiang Tao once, as long as Jiang Niang covers it up properly, it will not be a problem to hide it from Cui Hu.
Make up your mind, that day, Jiang Rui took the trouble to secretly pick up Jiang Niang.
All arrangements are stopped, just waiting for Cui Hu to visit.
※ The grass grows and the warbler flies, Cui Hu comes to Nanzhuang again, the door is unlocked, like the previous times, he knocks on the knocker.
After knocking for a while, no one came out to open the door. "Does she not want to see me in this life?" Cui Hu was disappointed.
Just when he was extremely annoyed, there was a sound of sobbing from inside the house, and Cui Hu's heart tightened, I don't know what happened in the room?
He slammed the gate of the courtyard with all his might,
Someone finally came to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, Cui Hu was dumbfounded.
"Is that you?" He exclaimed.
The person who opened the door was an elder with a scarf and a clear face. Cui Hu remembers meeting the elder on the riverside last year.
The elders looked Cui Hu up and down.
"You're Boling Cui Hu, right?" The elder asked, his voice hoarse.
Cui Hu replied respectfully: "Cui Hu, who was born late, has seen Mr. once." ”
The elders led Cui into the house.
