Xixiang, Xiangjun's Mansion, Juyi Hall.

"There is a great deal of Confucianism in talking and laughing, and there is no white ding" This sentence comes from the poem "Burrow Ming" in the book "Burrow" by Liu Yuxi, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, everyone should be familiar with it!

The general meaning of these two sentences is to say: I talk and laugh with all the learned and talented Confucian scholars, and there are no vulgar ordinary people among the people I associate with. From this, we can see that although Liu Yuxi lives in poverty, he still looks down on ordinary people who are similar to him.

In ancient China, it was about class. Especially during the period of the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the entire upper class has developed to a very deformed state. There is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no family in the lower grade. It's not just a casual talk.

For example, the dust-washing and drinking banquet held in front of you in the Juyi Hall. Cui's is a wealthy family in Qinghe, an authentic high-grade wealthy family, even if Cui Shen is very down-and-out now, he still has to be polite.

As the host, Liu Ye will definitely hold a dust-washing banquet for Cui's arrival. But look at the people who are at the feast. There are Yang Yang at the top level, Xiahou Wen, and Wang Yan. In the middle level, there are five sons of the Yang family, Qian Jin, Li Yu and so on. But there is no Qin Ming, no Tang Jue, no Xu Ji. Why? Whether it is Qin Ming or Xu Ji, their official positions are higher than Li Yu's. But it's a pity, because they are Shu people. All the people present at this banquet were the children of the family, and there was no Shu family.

If there is, it will be known by Cui Shen (when the ancients introduced each other, they would report to their families.) It is estimated that it is very likely that he will just brush his sleeves and leave. In the eyes of many clans, the Shu clan is not worthy to sit with them. In particular, the private banquet invited by the clan to each other is almost impossible for the Shu clan. (The Moon Banquet is not a private banquet.) In this regard, Liu Ye had no good way, he could only be forced to adapt to this society.

After the host and guest were seated, everyone in the Cui family sat on the Taishi chair with great interest. They quickly fell in love with the furniture. Especially Cui Shen, after all, he is already in his sixties. When I was old, I couldn't sit on my knees for long, and my legs became numb. It's very uncomfortable.

"Gong Cui, the conditions in the countryside are poor, I hope you will forgive me, please drink this cup." Liu Ye raised the wine glass in his hand and said politely.

"Those who have fled can have a place to take refuge, what is the dissatisfaction?" Cui Shen said with some sadness. After saying that, he drank it all.

"Cui Gong is a Confucian in the world, where can't he go in the world?" Yang Yang said with some doubts.

"Before now, the old man has been hated by Emperor Hu, and now he has become a lost person, and the north is so big that there is no place for the old man. If you don't have Liu Yuanjun's help today, I'm afraid that the old man will have entered the Yellow Spring. In the future, I don't know where to go. Cui Shen wiped his tears with his sleeve and said.

His nephews and nephews also cried, and today was a day they would never forget. The atmosphere at the scene was gloomy.

Looking at the people of the Cui family who were crying, Liu Ye was more or less sympathetic even if his heart was dark. The dignified Hebei giants turned out to be like this. How similar to myself three years ago.

So Liu Ye couldn't help but say:

"If Duke Cui doesn't give up, he can temporarily live in the township, although the township is small, there is still a place for the Cui family."

"Then thank you Liu Yuanjun." Cui Shen immediately sat upright, how could he still look sad just now.

it! Tricked by this old guy. This was Liu Ye's first reaction in his heart.

But then Liu Ye felt very strange. Although Cui's is more embarrassed now, he is also a dignified Hebei giant, where to go is not a guest! How can you rely on yourself.

Don't say that Liu Ye couldn't figure it out, even Cui Shen's nephews were a little confused. It's completely out of the script.

But in the end, it was Yang Yang who relieved this embarrassment.

Yang Yang raised his glass and said: "Cui Gong is a great Confucian in the world, it is our honor to be able to settle in Xixiang, and we will give Cui Gong a glass." ”

"Please." Cui Shen was not hypocritical, raised his wine glass and said.

After Cui Shen put down the wine glass, he glanced around, but he didn't find Su Qing. Then he was a little puzzled:

"Liu Yuanjun, why didn't you see Su Lang. Su Lang has a life-saving grace for my Cui family, and the old man wants to give him a good drink. ”

"Sulang?" The people of Xixiang were a little puzzled, they had heard of it for the first time. After all, there are few people surnamed Su in Saigo. There is no one in the name. There is a person surnamed Su in the Xiangjun Mansion, but he is just a hostage, and he has never even seen the Cui family. Obviously it can't be him.

Looking at the expressions of everyone in Xixiang, Cui Shen was a little strange, so he continued:

"It's the deputy commander of the white-robed guard. It was he who saved the little girl, and the old man wanted to thank him in person! ”

When it comes to the deputy commander, everyone in Saigo knows who it is. But looking at Cui Shen's eyes was even more strange.

"Liu Yuanjun, this?" Facing the strange eyes of everyone in Xixiang, Cui Shen said a little uncomfortably.

And Liu Ye said a little embarrassedly: "Neizi is naughty, it is a certain discipline that is not strict, and I hope that Cui Gong will forgive me." ”

"Uchiko?" Cui Shen exclaimed. Before, he saw that Liu Ye and Mingyue were too close, and thought that the two of them had a leg. But Cui Shen didn't care, after all, many people in the world liked this tune. But I didn't expect Mingyue to be a woman.

"Then how can she ......," Cui Shen wondered. Because it was about his baby daughter, Cui Shen didn't say it all.

But everyone in Xixiang at the scene understands it, because they usually have some daughters! What a sister! The young girl hid and didn't let Mingyue find out. After all, Mingyue's fetish is really weird. Usually no one dares to accuse her. In addition to the fact that she is the woman who is the lord of her own family, there is also her terrifying eyes. Being looked at by her would make her nightmares go on for days in a row, which was quite uncomfortable. What's more, she has a short-tempered personality, and she doesn't know the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, and anyone dares to beat her if she provokes her. Even Yang Yang was very afraid of her. The people of the entire Xixiang had to take a detour when they met her, and she was nicknamed the 'Xixiang Plague God' by Liu Ye.

Facing Cui Shen, who had an unkind face, Liu Ye apologized with an embarrassed face. But soon Cui Shen skipped this topic directly, which made Liu Ye a little strange. It's just that Liu Ye didn't pay attention to Cui Shen, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief just now.

Seeing that Cui Shen was no longer entangled in this topic, Liu Ye was also happy to see it. After all, this matter is his fault, but Liu Ye also secretly made a decision in his heart that he must not let Mingyue out in the future.

After continuous rushing, as well as being besieged by the Hu people yesterday and today, the Cui people obviously did not have a good meal. Faced with the tempting and fragrant food, the Cui family swallowed wildly, but they still held on and waited for the banquet to begin. In this regard, Liu Ye felt very admired, it was not for nothing that the Cui clan could become a top clan, at least in terms of etiquette, the Cui clan did a very good job, and even the children who were only about fifteen years old at the bottom of the table could not help but move.

Liu Ye looked at the group of people in front of him who were indeed quite pitiful, so he said:

"Venerable guests have been running around for a long time today, and they must be hungry in their stomachs. So-and-so is not a person who is not funny, so let's have a seat! ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" All the guests at the table said.

The ancients paid attention to "food is silent, sleep is silent". But it's not that you don't talk when you eat, otherwise this banquet would be interesting. "Eat without saying anything, sleep without speaking" means that a gentleman should develop good living habits.

For example, the group of people in front of Cui's in front of them can't speak when eating, and they won't speak until the food is completely swallowed. And although they look hungry, they only eat one small bite at a time, and after chewing and swallowing, they will take a second bite. It's just that the frequency is a little fast.

"I hope Cui Gong will forgive me for the coarse tea and light rice!" Liu Ye said politely.

Cui Shen swallowed the food in his mouth unhurriedly and said, "Liu Yuanjun is polite, this is the first time the old man has seen such delicious food." "After all, in history, stir-fry has only just come out, and there are not so many dishes in Saigo.

"Cui Gongbai praised, please!"

"Please!"

……

Just when the dust washing banquet was held in the front yard, in the backyard, Liu Yexian's little wife Yang Ying was also holding a small banquet for the Cui family's daughters.

After an afternoon of getting along, Cui Bai, a little beauty with similar ages and hobbies, and his little wife Yang Ying soon became good friends.

Looking at the tempting delicacies in the seat, the little beauty whose belly was already empty was a little impatient and coquettish:

"Sister Yang, how long do we have to wait!".

"Xiao Bai'er, it's going to be fine soon, there's another person, she's going to freshen up for a while just now."

"Look! Here she comes. ”

Looking at someone in women's clothes in front of her, the little beauty's beautiful big eyes couldn't help but exude angry rage. Like an abandoned resentful woman.

And Yang Ying next to her can probably guess the good deeds done by someone who does not change. After all, someone had deceived her like this before. It's just that someone was exposed by his husband on the spot, and he slapped his ass dozens of times in front of her.

However, it is estimated that the little beauty next to her was deceived by someone a lot. Thinking of this, Yang Ying could only shake her head helplessly.
