There are three people sitting inside, sitting by the screen is a middle-aged man in his forties, with slender cheeks, tall figure, ten fingers are particularly slender, he looks very shrewd and capable, he is the Cui family's head in Qinghe Cui Hui, Cui Hui was originally a Shangshu right Cheng, Pei Jun took the initiative to recommend himself as the assassin of Qinghe County after coming to power, and then Cui Qinggong betrayed the Cui family, Cui Yuan took the blame and stepped down from the position of the head of the family, appointed him as the head of the family, and was specifically responsible for the implementation of Cui Yuan's plan to revitalize the Cui family. Cui Xiang was ordered to rush to Chang'an from Qinghe, Shandong, and Cui Yuan ordered Cui Yu to come to the house, and the three of them discussed the future and fate of the Cui family together.

Cui Yuan half leaned on the soft mattress, holding a cup of tea in his hand and sucking carefully, although he still couldn't move, but his posture was leisurely, his eyes were shining, how could there be a little sick sample book, next to him, Cui Yu knelt on the seat, looking at the head of the family with a solemn face, he said in a deep voice: "According to the inference of the eldest brother, in Zhang Huan's future layout, is it already ironclad for Pei You to be the right minister?" ”

"At least from the current situation, it should be like this, after all, the Xiangguo Party is still the first force in the DPRK, and Pei You, who is wooed, has also attracted a large number of court backbones, especially when he ascended the throne in an ambiguous identity, the reliance on hundreds of officials and the court is particularly important, and at the beginning of the dynasty, everything is waiting to be prosperous, he needs a smooth transition of the court to stabilize the situation in the world, if it is me, I will also let Pei You to be the right minister, under the instability of the position, it is far more effective to win over the enemy than to reward his own people."

Cui Yuan said very slowly, he hoped that the unwilling Cui Yu could understand what he meant, at this time, seeing that Cui Yu had realized something in his eyes, he put the teacup back on the table and smiled slightly: "But don't worry, although Zhang Huan uses the Pei family, he will never let his family sit big, this left prime minister is none other than you, and his left minister is not this left minister, he is a genuine servant, and even the authority will exceed any left minister in the past." ”

Although Cui Yu's heart was full of disappointment, he also knew that what his brother said was reasonable. I had to sigh secretly and stop talking, but at this time, Cui Hui smiled and said: "When I came, I heard that Luoyang was peaceful, but Zhang Huan did not return to Beijing, did he go to Ye County?" ”

Cui Yuan glanced at him. nodded and said: "His two most powerful generals have gone to Hebei, and their equipment and troops are far superior to each other, and it is meaningless for him to go to this battle, so he must go to Yejun to meet Pei You, but the strategy of his move is clever and his vision is long-term, so you can't see it." ”

Speaking of which. Cui Yuan couldn't help but admire, "It's no accident that this person can come to this day, he is the person I admire the most among the people I have met, I just underestimated him back then, so I paid such a heavy price." (Starter)"

"Please speak up, big brother!" Cui Yu asked.

"I won't tell you now, when he comes back, you will soon know the real purpose of his visit to Ye County."

Cui Yuan sold a book, he saw a guard flash at the door, and knew that his daughter had arrived at the house, so he said to the two: "Ning'er is here." You stand down first, and I'm going to have a good talk with her first. ”

For a moment, there was a crisp sound of footsteps. Cui Ning walked quickly into his father's study, the window of the study had been opened, the fresh wind was blowing, Cui Yu and Cui Hui's teacups had been taken away, but Cui Ning, who was as careful as a hair, still found that there were two more cushions, on which someone had just sat on the ground, and she saw that her father had a ruddy complexion, and there was no sick book. Xiu Mei couldn't help frowning and said, "Daddy, aren't you sick?" ”

"What, isn't Daddy healthy at all?" Cui Yuan laughed, waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk!" ”

"I'm not saying that it's bad for Daddy not to be sick, it's just that Cui Ning can't go on, she sighed and said, "Say it!" Daddy tricked me, what the hell is going on? ”

"How can my daughter add a word to her father?" Cui Yuan smiled faintly. He looked at Cui Ning with a cold gaze and said slowly: "Actually, Daddy is sick." It's just a heart disease. ”

"Heart disease?" Cui Ning was stunned, and her long eyelashes immediately drooped. "The root of Daddy's illness is Huanlang!"

Cui Yuan clapped his palms and exclaimed: "It is worthy of being my daughter, sure enough, Bing Xue is smart, yes, the root of my illness is your husband, and you must also know the current situation, his entry into the Daming Palace is the trend of the times, no one can stop it, you are his second wife, and my Cui Yuan's only daughter, I think this concubine is none other than you, so I called you here today, just to ask you, what are your plans in the future?" ”

At this time, the concubine next to her closed the window book and quietly retreated, the room was very quiet, Cui Ning sat there straight, her body book was more plump because of pregnancy, she lowered her head for a long time and did not speak, and finally whispered: "Whether it is Shangshu Mansion or Daming Palace, it is just a room book to live in; Whether it is a second wife or a concubine, I am always his wife; I was born with a child's book, and he can't divorce me because of my old age and decrepitude, so what do I plan to do if the Japanese book is still the same? ”

"You don't have a plan, so do you plan for our Cui family, do you plan for your son?" Cui Yuan's tone slowly strengthenedFirst-||

At the mention of children's books, Cui Ning's face changed slightly, but then returned to normal, and she also smiled faintly: "He only has a total of two children's books now, and his son is the second book, even if he can't do the Taishu, there will be no problem in sealing a prince in the future!" As long as he lives his life peacefully, it is my greatest hope as a mother, as for the status of the Cui family, Huan Lang will not take special care of me, nor will he deliberately belittle because of me, the key is that the Cui family's scholars want to fight. ”

Cui Yuan stared at his daughter, and finally, he said something earth-shattering, "What if I want my son to be the Taishu?" He stared at his daughter sharply, this is his plan, if he wants to surpass the Pei family, he must let his grandson inherit the throne.

"Father!" Cui Ning was also angry, the change of seizing the heir will mean that her children's book may die, how can she tolerate it, Cui Ning stood up suddenly and said sharply: "The country has national laws, the family has family rules, the elder and the young should be different, the Zhang family has the eldest and the eldest book, of course, it is to respect the elder, how could my father say such a ridiculous thing?" ”

"How ridiculous my words are!" Cui Yuan's voice also suddenly became higher, "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, which emperor has been enthroned by Changshu?" Isn't he Zhang Huan also from a side branch book? ”

He was also a little angry, why couldn't his daughter think about the family? It was about the Cui family's hundred-year plan, how could the plan he had been thinking about for many years be stopped because of this, he took a deep breath. Let yourself calm down first, and persuade her daughter in a gentle tone: "It seems that his Pei family is powerful, but in fact, it is not, not to mention that my Cui family is also a famous family for hundreds of years, and it is a few points stronger than his Pei family." More importantly, my Cui family has many talents, from last year's Jinshi and the first can be seen, the Cui family's stamina is far stronger than the Pei family, three or five years later, the pattern of the DPRK and China will change, then I am afraid you will also have this heart, now I have no requirements for you. But you have to plan ahead of the day, you know what I mean? ”

But Cui Ning still shook his head firmly, "Huan Lang will consider the follow-up, if Qi'er is not good, he will naturally consider others, but as a relative, whether it is Longyou or the world, I hope that the Cui family should still focus on national affairs, serve the country and benefit the people." This is what her daughter wants. ”

After saying that, she stood up and saluted her father, saying, "Since my father is in good health, my daughter will not spend the night here." I'll go home late in the morning. ”

Cui Yuan looked at his daughter without saying a word, it should be said that this was what he expected, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking? As soon as Cui Ning left, Cui Yu walked in quickly and asked eagerly, "How?" Does Ning'er have this heart?"

Cui Yuan shook his head, "She is very resolute, I can't convince her." ”

Cui Yu was stunned. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't I persuade Ning'er again?" ”

"Forget it! My daughter knows that although she is weak on the outside, she is stubborn on the inside, and no one can persuade her what she is sure of, so I should not put it on her. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Yuan sighed with some regret, "The best strategy is not good." We're going to have to do the right thing. ”

"But I'm afraid he might not want to."

Cui Yuan's eyes narrowed. Brushing his short beard, he smiled coldly: "Don't worry, our Cui family still has 30,000 Qinghe troops." He will come to me, and I will make a deal with him then. ”

Cui Ningdi embroidered building, Pingping ran upstairs with two burdens, Cui Ningdi's door was not closed, of course someone was cleaning up, Pingping pushed the door open with his foot, and said to Mingyue and Mingzhu who were panting behind him with a smile: "Two little girls, let you take fifty steps and can't compare to me, say okay, one person is one hundred Wen, and one less is not good." ”

"I've never seen a housewife like this, and I really asked us for money." Mingzhu muttered in a low voice, and her sister Mingyue next to her hurriedly touched her sister and signaled her not to talk nonsense.

Ping Ping heard it clearly, she laughed and said: "I am willing to lose the bet, and if I lose, I will also pay the money."

Pingping's words suddenly stopped, she looked at the room a little dumbfounded, there was a fairy-like female book in Cui Ning's room, she was about sixteen or seven years old, her eyebrows were rare and a little like Cui Ning, but her appearance was so beautiful, it was actually Ping Ping had never seen it, I saw that her eyes were like a cut of autumn water, and in the haze, it seemed to wipe a little bit of March smoke and rain, with a hint of resentment, but what was more striking than her eyes was her skin, her skin was so white that it seemed to be congealed, and it was like polar ice and snow, and the snow was so white that there was no trace of impurities.

"You are a woman, and you are almost suffocated by her beauty.

The girl was wearing an apricot yellow dress, tall and plump, with a hint of shyness, she pursed her lips and smiled: "My name is Cui Xuezhu, you are Sister Pingping!" ”

"You know me?" Ping Ping was even more surprised, she only knew Cui Ning, the daughter of the Cui family, and no one would paint her for Liying, and she came here today to make a temporary decision, how could this female scholar named Cui Xuezhu know her.

Cui Xuezhu stepped forward to take the package from Pingping's hand, and still smiled a little shyly: "I'm guessing, I've heard Sister Ning talk about you before." ”

"Did she talk about me?" Flat and long! sighed, puffed up and said: "Then what does she say about me, is it some kind of crazy old girl who can't get married, so you can guess it as soon as you read the book." ”

"Nope! No! No! Cui Xuezhu waved her hand again and again, "Sister Ning just said that you are very straightforward and always so happy." ”

Ping Ping laughed, she threw the package, lay down on Cui Ning's bed, rested her head on her arm and said leisurely: "You little lady, how can there be any happy people in the world forever, there are some things you don't take to heart, you will naturally be happy and carefree." ”

Cui Xuezhu sat on the embroidery pier like a good girl, nodding her head, Pingping saw that she was beautiful and beautiful, and humble and obedient, she couldn't help but have a good impression of her, she sat up and asked with a smile: "Your name is Cui Xuezhu, are you Cui Ning's sister?" ”

"She is the daughter of my fourth uncle, and she is the most beautiful of the Cui family girls of this generation." Cui Ning walked in at some point, she glanced at Cui Xuezhu and smiled, "Is your father here too?" ”

Cui Xuezhu is eight years old when Cui Ning is young, Cui Hui's youngest daughter, she is not yet seventeen years old this year, because she is so beautiful, so the entire Qinghe County, including the Cui family, calls her Qinghe Xianshu, but in front of Cui Ning, she is an absolute little sister, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Cui Ning obediently, "I came with my father, and I just arrived last night." ”

"I see." Cui Ning thought for a while and said, "There are still some things in the house, I have to go back immediately, do you want to stay here, or do you want to go back and live with me for a few days?" ”

"Of course it's going back with us." Ping Ping jumped up from the bed, took Cui Xuezhu's hand and said with a smile: "There is no one talking here, what's the fun, we are all young women there, I will teach you a few more swordsmanship, how can you be such a peugeot Nüshu without learning some self-defense skills?" ”

Ping Ping found that the Cui family was actually not interesting, Cui Ning wanted to go back early, so she didn't object, and there was a beautiful little sister, and she wanted to take it back to show off!

Cui Xuezhu's eyes showed a look of yearning, she lowered her soft neck and whispered: "I'll ask my father, he will allow me to go, and I will go." ”
