Leaving Daming Palace, Li Qing'an's mind is still a little dizzy, he has been in Datang for nearly two years, in addition to Li Bai Dufu, all kinds of celebrities have also seen a lot, but it has never given him a feeling of anticipation like today, Yang Guifei, a peerless beauty who has been passed down through the ages, actually wants to worship herself as a teacher, which is exciting!

However, he received a new official position, the Nine Gate Patrol Envoy, which is not a formal official position, no rank, no rank, no money, just a temporary position, and this so-called Nine Gate Patrol Army is also temporarily formed, transferred from the forbidden Ten Thousand Cavalry Battalion.

Although his Nine Gate Patrol Envoy was under the direct management of Xiangguo, the Ministry of War was responsible for the withdrawal of troops, and Li Qing'an went to the Ministry of War again, and Li Lin, the squire of the Ministry of War, told him that the Ministry of War had just received an order, and it was difficult to mobilize troops for a while, and a team of 1,000 people could be handed over to him tomorrow.

With no soldiers in his hands, it was naturally difficult to exercise power, so Li Qingan had no choice but to postpone his appointment.

It just so happened that he had a party today, Cui Ping, a member of the Ministry of Rites, invited him to dinner, he took out the note on his body, looked at the address, and it was in Kaihuafang, close to Suzaku Street.

Li Qingan turned over his horse and galloped quickly towards Kaihuafang.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Qingan rode into the fangmen, he bought a few gifts in the fang, and came to Cui's mansion.

Cui Ping's father died early, since he was a child, he followed his uncle Cui Qiao to live, the first year of Tianbao, he was admitted to the Jinshi in one fell swoop, officially stepped into the officialdom, for a few years, he has been tired of the official to the Ministry of Rites and Guest Division Wailang, the year before last married the daughter of Pei Ming, the criminal department waiter Pei Ming's daughter, last year got a son, although he has started a family, but he still lives with his uncle Cui Qiao, the house left by his father was his brother Cui Han go.

It's not that he doesn't want to set up his own door, but the housing price in Chang'an is too expensive, during the Kaiyuan period, a house in Chang'an covering an area of nearly three acres can be bought for only more than 100 yuan, but in the past two years, the housing price in Chang'an has increased fivefold, and the same three-acre house needs more than 500 yuan to buy.

And Cui Ping has only been an official for six years, although there are Lu rice, Yongye Tian, and materials, but the sum of the three is still relatively meager, and he has saved up for several years, and he spent nearly half of his wife last year, and he married a concubine this year, and the family seems to be a little unable to make ends meet.

If you are poor, you will think about change, Cui Ping thinks left and right, if you want to buy a house in Chang'an, or even if you want to be promoted, you have to go up to the local government as an official, although the local income is a little lower than that of Chang'an, but there is more fertilizer and water in the place, and if you are an official for a few years, you can earn back the money for buying a house, and there are rules in the court, not Shizhou County, not allowed to enter the provincial Taiwan, that is, there is no experience of being a local official, and you cannot get promoted.

So Cui Ping asked his uncle to help him be released as an official, but this release as an official is also very particular, Cui Ping is now a member of the Ministry of Rites, belonging to the lower level of the sixth grade, if released, it is generally the governor of Zhongzhou Sima or Xiazhou, but whether Sima or Changshi are auxiliary officials, not the chief official he wants, but if he can be promoted by half a level, he has the hope of becoming a county commander in core areas such as Jingzhao, Henan or Taiyuan.

In order to achieve the goal, in the past few months, Cui Ping drilled to find a relationship, last night, in front of Yang Huahua's mansion, he suddenly found that Gao Lishi seemed to have a soft spot for Li Qingan, if Li Qingan could help him say a word in front of Gao Lishi, then his wish could be easily achieved.

Early in the morning, in order to welcome the arrival of Li Qing'an, Cui Ping began to prepare, he specially asked for a day of sick leave, and the family still had thirty yuan in savings, he took out five guan, bought wine and meat, killed fish and chickens, and mobilized his wife and concubine together, cleaned the yard and painted the walls, and when outsiders asked, he said that he was ready for the New Year, and took the opportunity of the concubine to go to the West Market to buy vegetables, and took the opportunity to give her some more money, and let the concubine buy a few cakes of high-quality fat powder, which fulfilled the promise made in the concubine's bed the night before.

"Outsider, someone is looking for you outside!" The housekeeper of the Cui Mansion shouted loudly outside the courtyard.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

Cui Ping rushed out like a gust of wind and asked nervously, "Old housekeeper, but the surname is Li?" ”

"That's it, the famous Li Qing'an."

Cui Ping was so excited that he didn't have time to tidy up his clothes, and ran towards the gate like a goose, but the housekeeper chased after him and shouted: "Wailang, not at the door, in the guest room!" ”

Cui Ping braked suddenly, threw his arms wildly, and turned around and ran towards the guest room.

The courtyard in front of the guest room was crowded with maids, and Li Qingan was teaching a few teenagers of the Cui family to throw pots.

Li Qingan held up an arrow and said: "To practice throwing a pot, the first thing is to find the feel, so you should take this arrow with you and touch it when you have time." ”

Several teenagers nodded thoughtfully, and the subordinates also looked at their hands, and a maid said to herself ambiguously and smiled: "You should take the arrow with you, and touch it when you have time." Her hand crept into the crotch of the other young servant.

"By the way, the feel has been found, and then practicing throwing the pot can get twice the result with half the effort, just like this!"

Li Qing'an played a trick, turned his back to the copper kettle, and threw it backwards two feet away, "Dang! With a bang, the arrow was fired into the pot with extraordinary precision, provoking applause in the courtyard.

"General Lee!"

Cui Ping separated the crowd and bowed to Li Qing'an: "I'm ready, General Li, please come with me!" ”

Li Qing'an smiled, and Tuan Tuan hugged his fist to everyone, "Okay, everyone, I still have something to do, so I'll teach it here first." ”

Several young people from the Cui family reluctantly followed him for a while, and Li Qingan waved his hand to them with a smile, "Practice hard!" The world will be yours from now on. ”

Several teenagers suddenly had a light in their eyes, and a worldly pride rushed to their heads, and they involuntarily puffed up their chests.

．．．．．．．

"Brother Cui, why is Cui Youcheng not in the mansion?"

Although Li Qing'an is a martial artist, he is the fourth rank after all, two levels higher than Cui Ping, Cui Ping hurriedly said respectfully: "General Li doesn't have to be polite, just call me a foreigner, my uncle is on duty today, and he won't be able to come back until the evening." ”

"So that's the case, then I probably won't see it today."

"Is there something General Li looking for my uncle?"

"It's nothing, I always want to meet the master when I come to Cui Mansion!"

While talking, the two came to Cui Ping's small courtyard, and as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, Cui Ping shouted loudly: "Lady, beautiful girl, hurry up and meet your guests." ”

Li Qingan looked at the yard, the yard is not big, it is very tidy, but there are chicken feathers and fish scales piled up in the corner, an old locust tree almost covers half of the yard, under the tree is a row of bungalows, about five or six rooms, Cui Ping and his wife live in one, the concubine lives in a side room, Cui Ping has a study, there are also cousins and subordinates, and there is a small kitchen.

In addition to his wife and concubine, Cui Ping's family also has a maid and a nurse, and when they heard the old man's call, everyone came out together.

"General Li, this is my wife Pei Shi, the daughter of Pei Shilang of the Criminal Department."

A young woman gave a salute to Li Qing'an, it could be seen that it was everyone's beautiful girl, surnamed Gewen and soft, Li Qing'an hurriedly handed over the few high-quality points he bought, and said with a smile: "Come in a hurry, a little heart, please Mrs. smile!" ”

"General Li is too polite, please sit in the room!"

Pei Shi handed over the dim sum to the concubine, and hurriedly invited Li Qingan into the house, the house had already packed up a table of sumptuous wine and food, the small officials invited guests to nothing more than chicken, duck and fish, and a few bottles of good wine, today Cui Ping put down the capital, and bought a pound of expensive lychees from the fruit and vegetable store in the West Market, which is a highlight on the wine table.

"General Li is not polite, please sit at will, just like in your own home."

Cui Ping invited Li Qingan to sit on the top, he sat on the right, his wife Pei sat on the left, but the concubine was not qualified to serve on the table, responsible for adding food and pouring wine to serve, but Li Qingan didn't understand this etiquette, he smiled and said: "Wailang, why don't you let the little lady sit down?" ”
