When Cui Wenxiu returned to Neixiang County, it was already early in the morning.

An attendant stepped forward and pounded on the door for a long time, and the doorman came out of the ear room with a lantern in his sleepy eyes. When a person is woken up in his sleep, his temper will inevitably be great. But someone dared to bang on the door like this in the middle of the night, thinking that there was some reason, he didn't dare to scold, but shouted outside the door: "Who? ”

Before the entourage who was pounding on the door could speak, Cui Wenxiu had already shouted: "Who? It's your mother! ”

Menzi was furious, and was about to scold back, but the voice was familiar, it seemed to be the son of the prefect, and he hurriedly asked quietly: "But the eldest son of Cui?" ”

Cui Wenxiu said: "I know that your father still hasn't opened the door, so what about looking for a fight?" ”

The door opened slowly, Cui Wenxiu was in a hurry to sleep, and without waiting for the door to open completely, he stepped forward and kicked the door open. The man was almost knocked down by the door unexpectedly, but he didn't dare to be the slightest dissatisfied, and asked, "Why did the prince come back so late!" ”

In the past, Cui Wenxiu had already punched him.

When will your father come back, and you can ask your turtle son?

However, he was in a good mood today, so he didn't go to the door, so he snorted twice and went straight to the backyard of the mansion. went to bed and slept with his head covered, and he didn't wake up until dawn, until his father broke in angrily and ordered someone to drag him up from the bed, then he stood by the bed with sleepy eyes and asked, "Dad, why are you here, you don't have to go to the morning hall today?" ”

Cui Yipeng was so angry that his beard trembled, and shouted: "You are a rebel, don't kneel down for me." ”

Cui Wenxiu, as a yanei, is not afraid of heaven and earth in the realm of Huaiqing Mansion, but he has a common problem in all the yamen, he is afraid of his own Laozi. Because he knows in his heart that he can do anything wrong, and he is his own son. If you annoy Lao Tzu and no longer follow him to wipe his ass, how can you do anything wrong?

Cui Wenxiu subconsciously weakened his knees, and he was about to kneel on the ground. Before his knees touched the ground, he thought that he was not as good as before, whether his father could rise again, and he had to help, and he was not afraid of his father. The man stood up violently and said, "I didn't do anything wrong, why did I kneel?" ”

Cui Yipeng stretched out his hand to hit Cui Wenxiu, but Cui Wenxiu raised his hand to block him. He was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "Okay, the wings are stiff, dare not to put your father in your eyes, right?" He sat down in a chair next to him and said, "You didn't make a mistake?" You're almost stabbing the sky down! What were you doing in Jiyuan yesterday? I've heard that I have offended dozens of yamen? You don't want to live, I still want to live, don't drag me into the water if you die! ”

Cui Wenxiu then understood why his father came to him, it seems that someone told his father everything about yesterday. The people who told him about his father's situation had limited knowledge, and they only knew that those Yanai were dissatisfied with him, and they didn't know that he was about to soar. He said, "How did I die?" I didn't offend them! Even if they are angry, they are jealous of me! ”

Cui Yipeng said: "What are you jealous of?" Jealous that your father's official position is smaller than theirs? Do you have to me off! He paused for a moment, and then said bitterly, "Can you let me save some heart, and those who can't be offended won't get guilty, okay?" Your father is a fourth-grade official, and he can give your father not a thousand but eight hundred small shoes to wear, and his ability is limited, so if he can't save you, he has to put me in! ”

Cui Wenxiu said: "They are jealous that I am richer than them, and rob them of the way to get promoted and make a fortune!" Thinking of his father's words, he explained, "Dad, just look, from now on, the emperor will be the first, and our Cui family will be second, who will dare to bully you and my father and son when I see it." ”

Cui Yipeng was stunned and said, "Son, are you okay, is there anything uncomfortable, I'll find a doctor to show you!" As he spoke, he stood up and touched Cui Wenxiu's head to see if he had a fever.

Cui Wenxiu took a step back to avoid it, and said, "Dad, I'm not sick." ”

Cui Yipeng said: "Then, did you suffer a great grievance in Jiyuan yesterday?" If you have any grievances, tell your father, and your father will definitely find a way to help you get angry. Don't hold it in your heart, don't suffocate people! ”

Cui Wenxiu said: "I haven't been wronged, but I'm a little angry!" Seeing the melancholy look on his father's face, he knew that his father was still talking nonsense just now, and explained: "I'll show you the three treasures I bought yesterday, and you will know that I am not talking nonsense." ”

He came to a box, opened the lock the size of a child's head, and brought out a bundle of things from inside. There were four brocade boxes, placed on the table in turn.

Cui Wenxiu opened the first brocade box and saw that it was a scroll inside, and he couldn't help but hate it again. Buckle the brocade box, throw it aside, open the other three brocade boxes, look at the three treasures, the anger in his heart disappeared, and said happily: "Dad, you come and see." ”

Cui Yipeng approached, and at Cui Wenxiu's request, he reluctantly put on white gloves, and then took out the same things inside. Cui Wenxiu explained on the side, and he tried everything according to what Cui Wenxiu said.

Things are indeed good things, I haven't seen them before, but what's the use of these things? According to what Cui Wenxiu said, these three things have spent all of Cui Wenxiu's savings over the years, which is more than two million taels of silver. He was almost distressed to death, but Cui Wenxiu was not distressed at all, but was very happy. The son must have been stimulated by something to lose his mind, otherwise how could he be so abnormal.

Cui Wenxiu saw his father's doubts and said, "These things are really useless in our hands, at most they are just things, not worth so much money." But what if the firecrackle was sent to the Firearms Bureau in the capital, the mirror was given to the Queen Mother, and the telescope was given to the Emperor? ”

A word to wake up the dreamer! Cui Yipeng immediately understood what his son wanted to do. What other channel can make the promotion faster than getting the favor of the queen mother and the emperor. It seems that there is green smoke on the ancestral grave of their Cui family, and he is expected to enter the cabinet as an old man in his life.

This kind of thing that he never dreamed of before, but now it is going to be realized, how can he not be excited? How to make him not excited!

Cui Yipeng rubbed his hands excitedly and paced back and forth in the house, walked to his son's side and couldn't help but gently pat his son on the shoulder twice, and said, "You really deserve to be my good son!" ”

Cui Wenxiu smiled: "Dad, now you know that I'm not sick and talking crazy!" ”

Cui Yipeng said: "I know! After a pause, he said, "When do you plan to go to Beijing to offer treasures?" ”

Cui Wenxiu said: "I'm going to go in a few days!" ”

Cui Yipeng waved his hand and said, "No, you go today, go now, this matter cannot be delayed." First, I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night. Second, the emperor has been in a bad mood recently, and he has a baby, and he will be rewarded more abundantly when he is in a good mood! ”

Cui Wenxiu was puzzled and said: "What does the emperor want, beautiful women play casually, why are they still in a bad mood?" ”

Cui Yipeng said secretly, his son is too stupid, and if he wants to explain, I'm afraid Cui Wenxiu won't understand, so he didn't explain. Quietly told Cui Wenxiu about his relationship in the capital one by one, so that he must keep it in mind, and after going to the capital, he will ask these people for help before he can give the baby to the person he wants to send. Otherwise, when you arrive in the capital, it will be in vain, and no one will see it, so how can you talk about sending treasures.

Cui Wenxiu wrote them down one by one.

Cui Yipeng thought about it, his son was already penniless, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything if he went to the capital without money, so he took out 100,000 taels of silver tickets and let him use them in the capital.
