Chapter 30 Cui Lao teaches his grandson

The scenery of Yangxi Lake in Qingzhou is beautiful, the lake is rippling, and the weeping willows on the shore are clinging, which is an excellent place to settle down in Qingzhou.

A mansion by the lake, a few points larger than the huge courtyard of the Tang family, its mansion is nine feet deep. The design of the courtyard is simple and elegant, the rockery and clear water are scattered, and the famous trees and flowers are planted all over the place, which shows the long-standing wealthy heritage of the courtyard.

At this moment, the owner of this mansion is talking to a Tsing Yi steward in an elegantly designed study in the backyard.

"Got it all figured out?" An old, majestic voice asked. If Liu Xu was here, he would have found that the owner of this mansion was his chess friend Cui Lao who was playing under the long pavilion on the shore of Nanyang Lake. Since they met, the two would play a few games under the long pavilion on the shore of Nanyang Lake every morning. The two talked and laughed while playing, like a friend who had forgotten the year, and Cui Lao still admired Liu Xu's talent. But recently, Liu Xu has not been here for several days, and the rumors on the street have also reached Cui Lao's ears, and Cui Lao can't help but send someone to inquire.

"Back to the master, I found it out. That Liu Xu Gongzi should be because of the good poem "When Will the Bright Moon Exist" made at the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, which disrupted the Tang family's plan to hold Liu Piaopiao as an Oiran, which caused Tang Wei, the eldest son of the Tang family, to hold a grudge, so he instructed Jiang Tongkang, the judicial officer in the state, to arrest Liu Xu's son. However, Liu Gongzi's private wine and wine sales should be true. The villain has investigated, and the kind of high-level soju that has never appeared in Qingzhou City a while ago should be sold by Liu Xu's son. ”

The Tsing Yi servant who answered Cui's old words was a steward of Cui's mansion, named Cui Jiu, who knew that his master admired Liu Xu very much, so he respectfully called Liu Xu Liu Xu's son. Don't look at him tied up in front of Cui Lao, but if he is put outside, as the steward of Cui Mansion, even the magistrate of Yidu County will not dare to offend easily.

After listening to the words of the steward, Cui Lao pondered for a moment and said, "Well, Tang Wei?!" It turned out that the Tang family wanted to rectify Liu Xu's kid. Okay, I know, you go down, and find Rokuro by the way. ”

After the steward of Tsing Yi stepped back, Cui Lao closed his eyes and thought there.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Cui Lao opened his eyes and saw that his favorite grandson was coming, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Coming in from the courtyard was Cui Ye, the eldest son and grandson of Cui Lao.

Cui Ye has a long body and a face like a crown of jade, which is quite a bit graceful and graceful, and the jade tree is in the wind. Cui's thousand-year-old family, only one room in Qingzhou is also flourishing. Although Cui Ye is the eldest son and grandson of Elder Cui, he ranks sixth among the brothers who are qualified to be ranked in the Qingzhou Fangzheng family tree.

Cui Ye is young and intelligent, has a steady temperament, can endure hardships, and is the eldest son and grandson, so he is very loved by Cui Lao.

In fact, the reason why a big family like the Cui family has been able to prosper for thousands of years is that in terms of choosing the heir of the family, it is not only important to pay attention to the heirs, but also to the ability. Of course, the equally capable son-in-law and concubine must choose the son-in-law as the heir first. However, if some families do not have a concubine who can become a weapon, they will choose an heir from among the capable concubines, and will not blindly emphasize the concubines.

Many of the concubines of the family and the sons in law who have not been selected as the heirs are all indifferent and do evil, but few of the sons and grandsons who are cultivated as the heirs of the family have become gentlemen. As the helmsman of the future family, these sons and grandsons are required to receive a strict education since childhood, most of them are intelligent, smart-minded, and have received a good education since childhood, and they are often mentioned by the helmsman of the family, and they will be sent by the helmsman of the family to various experiences when they are older, so their quality is mostly quite high.

Cui Ye has also been smart since he was a child, and since he was four years old, Cui Laoyan invited a famous teacher to be his enlightenment teacher and teach him to read. As he grew older, he received a variety of rigorous education, learning various skills and experiences in dealing with the world. Cui's Yunmen Academy is the first private college in Qingzhou, and most of Cui's children also study in Yunmen Academy. Although Yunmen Academy is very good, Cui Ye was invited by Cui Lao alone to invite a famous teacher to teach him at home, which shows that Cui Lao has deep hopes for him. Now Cui Ye is over eighteen years old, and he is already a figure who can take charge of himself outside. Cui Lao is also very fond of his grandson.

Cui Ye entered the house, and when he saw Cui Lao, he saluted and said, "My grandson has seen my grandfather, but is there something wrong with my grandfather calling my grandson?" ”

"Ye'er, now that you are eighteen years old, it is time for you to go out and practice alone."

"Really? Grandpa, can I go out and do things? Cui Ye said in surprise. It can be seen that Cui Ye is very excited that he can go out and do things alone. At an upright, young and vigorous age, he has learned a skill, and he has always hoped that he can go out and take charge of himself and make some achievements.

"Ye'er, do you know why grandpa named you Ye?"

"Ye, daylight, firelight, brilliant meaning, grandpa is hoping that his grandson can carry forward the lintel of our Cui family."

"Then do you know why Grandpa chose the word Shouqian for you on your eighteenth birthday this year?"

"The so-called rigidity is easy to break, profit is easy to lose, grandpa gave his grandson the word humble, is to let the grandson remember, to be humble to others, must not be arrogant, arrogant."

Cui Lao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have to experience these things with your heart, think about it yourself, and don't just talk about it." Do everything in moderation and don't go overboard. You've read all the books you should read, and I've taught you all the things you should learn. From today onwards, your homework is to get things done and hone yourself in dealing with various things. ”

"Grandson, you must remember your grandfather's teachings, and you will not insult the reputation of our Cui family."

"The first thing you have to do is to help someone, not simply to help him, but to subdue him, or win him over and make him useful to you. This person's name is Liu Xu, this person's grandfather has been observing for a while, he is a talent, if he can be used for you, he may become a help for your life in the future. Now that he has been arrested and put in prison, maybe in the next two days, Kou Xianggong will retry the case, what do you want to do, just do it, I won't give you any advice, but you can use all kinds of resources of our Cui family at your disposal. You go and ask Cui Jiu about specific things", Cui Lao said to Cui Ye earnestly.

Although Cui Ye has been studying at home, the students of Cui's Yunmen Academy have also participated in the petition at the gate of the state yamen, and many children of the Cui family are studying in Yunmen Academy, and Cui Ye has also heard through them about Liu Xu being arrested for selling.

At that moment, Cui Ye excitedly said goodbye to his grandfather and went to Cui Jiu to learn the details of Liu Xu's affairs.

is finally able to go out and do things independently, and what he has learned after years of hard work can finally be used, Cui Ye is very happy!
