Chapter 175: Dingzhou IV
After those people left, Ma Fatzi scolded and said: "The rough people in the countryside, a group of martial artists, insult Sven, if it weren't for that identity, how could the Cui family invite you to wait?" ”
The literati despise the martial arts, this seems to be a law, and all dynasties have had this custom, but looking at this Xu Wen's face, it seems that he is very jealous of the suitable Zhu Lvshuai.
Xu Ziling wanted to ask about the situation, so he said: "It turns out that Brother Ma was born in the Ming Jing, admire and admire!" ”
King Ma Bing hugged his hands with a smile and said, "Shame, shame!" He said he was ashamed, but the look on his face was almost as proud as if he was in the sky.
"What is the origin of those martial artists? Listening to Brother Ma's meaning, it's not small! Xu Ziling asked with a smile.
"You don't know? Recently, an organization that has been very rampant, the people of Yulong's internal guard, and the officials of Dingzhou, all of whom have been rectified by this group of guys! When King Ma Bing mentioned this Feather Dragon Inner Guard, his face couldn't help but twitch.
While the two were talking, someone muttered in front of him: "The birthday star is here, the birthday star is here......
Xu Ziling followed the prestige, and sure enough, Cui Shuao, accompanied by Cui Bozhi, Cui Sinan and others, walked out leisurely.
The main seat of the courtyard was also a row of low beds, and Cui Shuao slowly sat on it.
Cui Bozhi took the lead: "Congratulations to the head of the family on his birthday, long life without borders!" ”
With Cui Bozhi taking the lead, the rest of the people all blessed one after another, and when the Cui family finished blessings, these people in the audience began to bless one by one.
These ** are some literati and ink writers, young talents, they bless all kinds of words, but they are all some hanging sentences, Xu Ziling listened to it for a while, only to feel dizzy, but these talents are still shaking their heads one by one, and they are not tired of it.
Their models are very unified, they will report their families first, and they can't wait to move out of the eighteenth generation of their ancestors who have been officials, anyway, how glorious the family is, but they all revolve around one point, that is, their family culture is very deep!
Xu Ziling knows that the first condition for the marriage of these high-ranking families is to pay attention to the right family!
I don't know how long it took, these people finally stopped, Cui Shuao pretended to cough twice, and then said, "Thank you, the old man is deeply honored!" ”
Xu Ziling didn't pay attention to Cui Shuao, he was more concerned about Cui Sinan on the side, this little girl had dull eyes and her face didn't look very good.
"Elder Cui, hello, on behalf of our Zhang Lang General, I wish you a borderless birthday!"
These blessings have ended, and Cui Shuao has also made a closing remark, according to the etiquette system, there can be no blessings in the future, but at this moment the crowd rang out again, this sentence at the moment, but it doesn't look like a birthday celebration, it is clearly finding fault, or attracting attention.
Xu Ziling followed the prestige, it turned out to be the Zhu Brigade, although his words were very respectful, but his attitude was very arrogant.
Uncle Cui Aocheng Mansion was very deep, and he smiled: "Thank you to Lvshuai Zhu and General Zhang Lang, the old man is very happy!" ”
"Hehe, I'm a rough person, I can't drag the text, I heard that the old patriarch Cui wants to marry his daughter, so I will look for an opinion on behalf of Zhang Lang, the master in Beijing, Zhang Lang will be young and handsome, and hold great power, his father will soon make miraculous achievements in Mobei, I don't know what the old patriarch Cui wants?" That Zhu Lvshuai said very directly.
This guy is not a rough man, he is simply a stunned young man, he not only offended the Cui family by saying this, but even offended the entire literati present.
These days, the Cui family has been forbearing, and there is really no power on the surface, although the business has improved, but this is not enough, it is completely gone, and Li Shimin's purge of the family not long ago, many people mistakenly think that the family is really in a slump, and they can be bullied at will!
It can be seen from the attitude of this small brigade commander, but how can these people know the Cui family's strength in the hidden place?
Cui Shuao still showed no signs of anger, he said with a smile: "Zhang Lang is such a high-ranking official, we can't climb it, thank you Zhu Lvshuai!" ”
"Toast without eating and drinking, we'll see!" Zhu Lushuai waved his hand and was about to leave, but as soon as he passed in front of Xu Ziling, because he was in a hurry, he didn't even see the fast stone on the ground, and with a "bang", he fell a dog and ate.
Seeing this, the literati and gentlemen present all laughed, they had long seen that this Zhu Lvshuai was unhappy, and they were all gloating at this moment.
"Who? Which grandson did it? Zhu Lushuai looked around, then looked at the stones on the ground, snorted heavily, leaving a beautiful back, and did not forget to say: "You guys will see!" ”
This is just a small episode at the banquet, everyone didn't care, and after a while, the courtyard resumed a lively scene, although Zhu Lvshuai spoke more vulgarly, but fortunately he was a direct person, and this group of high-ranking talents was obviously a lot more subtle and introverted, although they also wanted to ask about the topic of the Cui family's choice of son-in-law, but they all pretended not to care, still talking and laughing, pointing out the country.
"You are all the elites of the Gaomen family, the old man has a question to ask!" Uncle Cui said proudly.
After he said this, the courtyard became quiet immediately, and they all knew that the main event was coming, and this was the beginning of Cui Shuao's investigation in the change of direction.
The sons of these high-ranking families shook their folding fans one by one, and their eyes inadvertently glanced in the direction of Cui Sinan.
However, Xu Ziling is obviously much more direct than this group of high-ranking sons, he stared at Cui Sinan in the crowd, and when Cui Shuao said what he had just said, Xu Ziling obviously saw Cui Sinan's expression change.
Cui Shuao continued: "Do you think there is an inevitable connection between business and politics? What does reading have to do with governing the country? Which is higher or lower between literati and warriors? ”
Xu Ziling nodded secretly, this old thing is very shrewd, and the topics thrown out are extremely divergent, and it tests people's thinking, Xu Ziling thought that this old guy would let people answer some ancient texts such as scriptures and history, it seems that this old man's level is very high, not an old-fashioned person.
Xu Ziling originally thought that these Confucian high-ranking families should all belong to that kind of nerd type, and they couldn't do anything except study, it seems that Xu Ziling was wrong.
This old man is not only not the kind of nerd, but also the kind of person who is good at accidents, otherwise Cui Sinan and Cui Bozi would not pay attention to business development, you know, this era is an era when everything is inferior and only reading is high, and it is impossible to say such a thing as business from the mouth of the patriarch of a big family!
But this old man not only said, but also threw out such a topic, this life is a very incredible thing, the two topics of reading and governing the country can still be said in the past, but the last one, this old man is half surprising, how can a martial artist be compared with a literati? !
