"Cui Yu?" Li Su was very unfamiliar with this name, and he didn't have any impression when he thought about it carefully, "Is this person very famous, why have I never heard of it?" ”

"Hehe, this person himself is not very famous, the key is his identity and influence in the Qinghe Cui clan." Wu Meiniang attaches great importance to that Cui Yu, although her father used to be the prince of the country, but he was just a businessman before, so even if the title is high, he will still be looked down upon by those big families, she has been treated like this when she was a child, and because of this, she has some resentment in her heart for those traditional big families, and now she finally has the opportunity to intervene in the battle of the big families, which makes her feel a sense of revenge, and that Cui Yu is one of the excuses for her to meddle.

Seeing Wu Meiniang's appearance, Li Yu also became a little interested in that Cui Yu, and Wu Meiniang no longer played dumb riddles, and told the other party's identity again. It turned out that this Cui Yu was from the long house of the Qinghe Cui clan, and his father Cui Xuan was the previous patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan.

Although the position of the patriarch of these families is not hereditary, but it is almost the same, when the old patriarch is alive, he will choose one of his sons, cultivate it carefully, and pass on the power of the clan in his original hands to him, as long as this son is not too, in the next election of the patriarch, it is generally held by the son of the old patriarch, of course, there are many talents in the family, and from time to time there are some outstanding talents emerging, then there will be fierce competition, and winning or losing depends on the strength of both sides.

Cui Yu's grandfather and father are both the patriarchs of the Qinghe Cui clan, if nothing else, he should also be the patriarch, but unfortunately, Cui Yu's father Cui Xuan was a short-lived man and died of illness in his thirties. At that time, Cui Yu was only ten years old. is the eldest son in the family, and Cui Xuan's only son, in addition to several daughters. are smaller than Cui Yu.

Although Cui Yu's family has deep connections in the Qinghe Cui family, the position of patriarch is related to the rise and fall of the clan, and it is naturally impossible for a ten-year-old child to take the position. As a result, Cui Yan, the current patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan, also stood out and became the new patriarch. However, there are too many people who support Cui Yu's department, and they are all waiting for Cui Yu to grow up and become a talent, and then they will drive Cui Yan down.

But it may be the lack of father's discipline, Cui Yu slowly showed his swinger side, often playing with a group of unsuccessful children in the clan, staying overnight in the Qinglou when he was a teenager, although his mother and the elders of the clan disciplined him in many ways, but it had no effect at all. Not to mention reading. In his twenties, he didn't even get into the show, although some people speculated that Cui Yan was secretly playing ghosts, but it is an indisputable fact that Cui Yu himself could not learn.

Originally, everyone thought that Cui Yu would just be a swinger in his life. But what everyone didn't expect was this. After Cui Yu got married a few years ago, she seemed to be a different person. The old bad habits were swept away, and he began to study with his heart, and slowly became more attentive to the affairs of the clan. At first, people were very strange, but later they slowly learned that all these changes were because Cui Yu married a good wife.

"Husband, when it comes to Cui Yu's wife, you may not know her, but you are very familiar with her mother's family!" When Wu Meiniang talked about Cui Yu's wife, she also admired her, after all, she is also a woman, she knows how difficult it is to completely change a man.

"Oh, I'm very familiar, could it be that the other party's maiden family is from our Longxi Li family?" The reason why Li Su immediately guessed the Li family in Longxi was mainly because among the five surnames and seven wangs, these big families generally disdain to intermarry with outsiders, among which the Qinghe Cui family generally only intermarried with the Li family of Longxi and the Fanyang Lu family, and he had no acquaintances with the Fanyang Lu family, and the only one left was the Li family of Longxi who was born in the Tang Dynasty.

"You guessed wrong, that Mrs. Cui is not from the fifth surname Qiwang, but surnamed Cheng, and her father is that Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie, and also the sister of your fox friend Cheng Huailiang!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

"What, Cheng Biting Jin's daughter?" Li Su was startled when he heard this, and the image of Cheng Huailiang wearing women's clothes immediately jumped out of his mind, but he was disgusted all of a sudden, retched a few times and didn't spit it out, and expressed deep sympathy for that Cui Yu in his heart.

When Wu Meiniang saw Li Su's appearance, she immediately guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but nod Li Su's forehead, and said with a coquettish smile: "Giggle~, I know that you will want to be crooked, the Miss Cheng looks like her mother, she is a charming beauty, and she is very virtuous, I don't know how many people ask for marriage at the beginning, but in the end, it was because Mrs. Cheng was Cui Yu's aunt, so she decided to marry the two." ”

Speaking of Cui Yu's marriage, which involved the Cheng family, this made Wu Meiniang inquire more about the hidden secrets. Because of Cui Yu's previous actions, many of the clan forces that originally supported his clan fell to Cui Yan, the current patriarch, which greatly reduced the power of his clan in the Qinghe Cui clan in the clan, and the Longyou Li clan and the Fanyang Lu clan naturally saw this, and they didn't attach much importance to Cui Yu's marriage, and the women who proposed the marriage were not too important figures.

Cui Yu's mother was very angry about this, and it just so happened that Cui Yu's aunt, that is, Cheng Huailiang's mother, had a daughter who was also of marriageable age, and her appearance and character were first-class, plus her father Cheng Yanjin was a military general and had a very strong personality, so if a woman could marry Cui Yu, she might be able to help her discipline her son. It was with this idea in mind that Cui Yu's mother overrode public opinion and married Cheng Yanjin's daughter as her daughter-in-law.

And afterwards it also proved the wisdom of her move, that Miss Cheng was really extraordinary, and in a few days, she obeyed Cui Yu's system, and soon changed from a prodigal son to a diligent and studious person, and was rumored to be a momentary anecdote, Cui Yu also relied on this matter to recover a lot of strength in one fell swoop, and became a pivotal figure in the Qinghe Cui clan, although he was still suppressed by Cui Yan, but he was still young, and there was time to wait.

After listening to the introduction of Cui Yu, Li Su became a little interested in him, from a prodigal to a five-good young man, this kind of person is rare, and this is a bit similar to him, but Li Su and the previous Li Su are completely two people, and the other party is because he married a good wife.

In addition, Li Yu is also very curious about the reason why Cui Yu and Wang Kuang came together, but unfortunately Wu Meiniang also knows very little about this matter, only knows that it seems that there is a problem within the traditional big families with five surnames and seven wangs, and the reason why the two of them came to Li Su should also be related to this.

After the negotiation, Li Su accompanied Wu Meiniang for a long time, and then reluctantly left, as for Cui Yu and Wang Guo's every move in Dengzhou City, they were all under Wu Meiniang's surveillance, and reported to Li Su at any time.

Li Su also took advantage of these few days to make arrangements for Dengzhou's affairs, he returned to Chang'an this time, it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until next year, so that the size of Dengzhou City will be handled by Zhao Fu, but most of the officials brought by Li Su when he came to Dengzhou will also stay, such as Liu Renliang, who is deeply appreciated by Zhao Fu, and now Yanbei is just in the name of a long history, except for business, other things are handed over to Liu Renliang to do, although this upright-tempered young official is not very likeable, However, because of its fairness and selflessness, it has also gathered a lot of popularity in Dengzhou.

Because he only lived in Chang'an for a while, it was not that he would not come back, so Li Su decided to keep everything simple, and only brought back some necessary servants and cooks in the house, and most of the rest stayed in Dengzhou. It's just that Xijun has some trouble there, because this time when she goes back, Li Su has to deal with a lot of business matters, so she has a lot of people to bring.

In addition, Li Su also has to prepare gifts, after all, it is necessary to bring some gifts to relatives and friends when he goes back to Chang'an, but at this time, Li Su feels that his relatives and friends are really a little too much, and the gifts he prepares alone fill several big boats, and he can't never think of it. As soon as everything was prepared, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu, who Li Su had been waiting for, finally came to visit.

"I haven't seen him for more than a year, His Royal Highness's demeanor is better than in the past, and Dengzhou is governed so well, which really makes Wang admire!" Wang Kuang brought Cui Yu to the palace, and immediately received a warm reception from Li Su, and set up a banquet to entertain the two VIPs, and as soon as Wang Kuang came in, he immediately praised Li Su.

"Haha, Brother Wang is too polite, I don't know what to call this person next to me?" Li Su was humble and asked deliberately.

"In Xiaqing River Cui Yu, meet His Royal Highness King Qi!" Without waiting for Wang Kuang's introduction, Cui Yu stood up by himself and bowed to the ground and said.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Cui, please hurry up, you and I are the same age, don't call it Your Highness, it's better to call me Liulang." Li Yu was pleasantly surprised, stepped forward to help Cui Yu up, and tried his best to look like a corporal of Lixian.

Li Su and Cui Yu met for the first time, naturally they inevitably praised each other, and Wang Guo was not a stupid person, he helped both sides to tout, and when the banquet was ready, the three of them sat down.

After suffering a loss last time, Wang Guo deliberately studied Li Su's temper, and knew that the other party was waiting for them to tell the purpose of this trip, so after dealing with a few words, he glanced at Cui Yu, and took advantage of Li Su's speech to suddenly stand up and said: "Your Highness, Brother Cui and I are here to have something important to do!" ”

"Oh?" Li Su casually took a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, glanced at the two of them, and then asked, "Brother Wang, I don't know what the matter is, I actually want the two of you to run in person?" ”

Seeing that Li Su didn't seem to care, Wang was a little anxious, turned the table and took a step forward, bowed down again and said: "Your Highness, this matter is not trivial, for some reasons, including the family behind me and Brother Cui, the five surnames and seven wangs in the world have united to suppress the entire industry and commerce of His Highness and the Tang Dynasty!" ”
