"Okay, Xu Xian's nephew's words are like Huang Zhong Dalu, thought-provoking, he really deserves to be a talented man with a reputation in the Tang Dynasty, yes, it's really good." Cui Shang quickly reacted and said to Xu Hongji with a smile.

Cui Lian also nodded and said, "It's really good, the commentary is even better than that poem." ”

"Okay, Brother Xu is good"

"I wrote that poem, I didn't think about it that much, I didn't think about Brother Xu, ah, no, why did my brother-in-law think so much?"

"It's really worthy of being a talented man with a high nine buckets, amazing."

Everyone applauded unanimously, and a few of them complained that they didn't let Xu Hongji participate in the competition, regretting that they couldn't appreciate his literary talent again, Cui Mengzhen, who was sitting next to Cui Mengyao, saw that his future Ruyi Langjun was so brilliant, his eyes were full of brilliance, and his pretty face also showed a hint of red, as if the person who was praised was himself.

Cui Mengzhen didn't notice that Cui Mengyao on the side had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Liu Yuan didn't speak, just smiled: Chat with these officials, you have to be a little careful, and you are very trustworthy, then you are very stupid and naïve.

"Uncle praises falsely, Hongji is not talented." Although Xu Hongji said that there was no one in his eyes, he also looked at the object, Cui Shang is the head of the Qinghe Cui clan in the world, and now he is the official worship of the household department, which can be said to be prestigious, although he is famous, after all, he is still a white body, how dare Cui Mansion fly high?

After Xu Hongji sat down, Cui Shang turned his head and said to Liu Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, now it's your turn, I don't know which clumsy song you like again?" ”

When Cui Shang looked at Liu Yuan, there was a trace of inexplicable expectation in his eyes.

Liu Yuan smiled, took a poem and read it in public:

"Loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma since ancient times,

I treat it like a cloud.

The joy of family money is not exchanged,

A cup of tea is also pleasant. ”

After reciting, Liu Yuan slowly said his thoughts: "The body is skinned." Affected by the parents, from the child to the thriving growth, how hard it is, how difficult it is, it is simply difficult to describe in words, who is careless, repay Sanchunhui, the ancient precept also has a saying, the parents are there, not far away. If a family doesn't love, how can they love the world? This poem speaks of the importance of [filial piety] in one word, and would rather give up fame and fortune than throw filial piety aside. ”

Xu Hongji listened. immediately retorted: "What do you mean, admit filial piety or not loyalty?" If the country is in trouble. Men are good men. Shouldn't you come forward? You are showing selfishness! ”

"Selfish?" Liu Yuan sneered: "For the sake of fame and fortune, abandoning your parents, that is a manifestation of selfishness, what loyalty, isn't it for your own fame, for your own wealth?" That's called selfishness. In the world of thousands of generations, there are many people, do you think that you are missing. The people can't live, the country can't function? ”

"Since ancient times, it is the times that create heroes, not heroes who create the times, within a hundred steps, there must be grass, within a hundred miles, there must be heroes, what to say to stand up for the country, but to deceive yourself."

Xu Hongji's face immediately turned red when he heard this, and he retorted with a dissatisfied face: "What do you mean, is it wrong to be loyal to the monarch and love the country?" Didn't you destroy the great righteousness for the sake of the lesser righteousness, and there was no distinction between the important and the severe? ”

As the son of a deacon of the Ministry of Rites, he has been educated since he was a child to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and he has a mind of loyalty and righteousness.

Liu Yuan said with a serious face: "I don't think there is a conflict between [filial piety] and [loyalty], just take [loyalty] as an example, it can reflect the action, but also the heart, the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers, there are so many loyal courtiers of the emperor, and it is nothing to have any less, but the parents are the only ones, so I think this poem can be the best in the hearts of contemptible people. ”

"Wait for the birds, and know the ambition of the birds." Xu Hongji sneered: "Oh, forget, you are a lowly person, and it is inevitable to have such thoughts." ”

As soon as the voice was happy, many people in the hall changed color, but they couldn't say anything, but they even played personal attacks and exposed Liu Yuan's shortcomings in public.

Liu Yuan sneered in his heart: These are just temporary gains, and they are useless, especially this matter, which is well known, and now that it is mentioned, it did not hit Liu Yuan, but it seemed that he was narrow-minded and small-minded, and he fell into an inferior position.

The faces of many people in the hall have changed, but Cui Mengyao on the side has changed her face greatly, and her eyes are on fire.

"Brother-in-law's words, the little sister doesn't agree" Cui Mengyao couldn't help but stand up for Liu Yuan:

"Heroes don't ask about their origins, Uncle Liu Huang is just a cheap business that you say to make a living by weaving shoes, the foundation of the world after the most ruthless, Zhang Fei is just a butcher, the most ruthless official worships the general, Guan Gong is a hawker who walks through the streets and alleys, isn't it a generation of martial saints? Although Liu Yuan said that his background is not good, he is now an official and a school captain, and his brother-in-law is full of experience and loyalty and patriotism, but I don't know how many things he worships? ”

"You, You"

Xu Hongji was robbed by Cui Mengyao, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, he didn't expect Cui Mengyao to come out for Liu Yuan, if Liu Yuan said these words, he still had something to say, and refuted it, but these words came out of Cui Mengyao's mouth, coupled with the fact that Cui Mengyao hit him without fame, he didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

Liu Yuan was also a little surprised, he really didn't think that Cui Mengyao would come out to defend himself at the critical moment, which was definitely not expected by Liu Yuan, and couldn't help but look at Cui Mengyao's where, just saw Cui Mengyao also looking at Liu Yuan, the two looked at each other again, and Liu Yuan read encouragement, persistence and praise from Cui Mengyao's eyes.

I really didn't expect that Cui Mengyao, who is usually so gentle, would say a rebuttal for herself.

"Yao'er, this is commenting on poetry, where did you talk about your woman's family, sit down for me!" Cui Jing spoke out and cheered.

This daughter of mine is usually used to being pampered, and she has always been pampered by the old lady, and she has always been very bold, but she didn't expect her to speak out on such an occasion, which really scared Cui Jing, although he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his baby daughter in his heart, and secretly praised her for being right, but for the unity of the family, he still reprimanded.

"Yes, father, daughter knows her mistake." Cui Mengyao took the opportunity to sit down.

At this time, the old lady quit. said with an unhappy face: "The third child, they all said not to abide by any rules, why, my granddaughter can't say two words?" The old body is also a woman's family, if you want to, you can't make a sound? ”

"The child doesn't dare." Cui Jing hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Ha Lu Ha" Cui Shang Da Lu laughed twice, and came to the mud: "In fact, [loyalty] and [filial piety] are both ministers and sons, and they can't be lost, both are very important, in fact, both are right, which is right." The so-called difference between good and evil, right and wrong, cares about one heart, but I was fascinated when I came up with the question, which made the joke here. ”

At this time, Cui Guang asked curiously: "Father, those two poems." Which one is it? ”

Everyone looked at Cui Jing curiously to see how he decided. The children of these two poems were specially composed. I am even more excited, if I choose the first, the rewards are very rich, and there will be a lot of benefits at once.

"Both are good, both make sense, so be it. It's better to tie for the first place of the two, that is, prepare one more reward for yourself. Speaking of distance, Cui Shang looked at the gang down, nodded and said, "You have to work harder in the future." Do you know the way? ”

Zhilu said," everyone hurriedly responded.

"Zizi"

"Zi"

The red fire burned on the sheepskin, and the scorching fire roasted the mutton fat, dripping on the firewood from time to time, making a sizzling sound, and it was almost roasted at this time, and the smell of meat wafted all over the room in the morning, and Liu Yuan drooled when he smelled it.

After Cui Shang got the old lady's consent, with a wave of his hand, those maids came in with a sumptuous dish, and the table was full, all of which were rare delicacies on weekdays.

Because it was close to the Chinese New Year, everyone put aside those disputes in order to get a lottery, and Liu Yuan did not deliberately tease Xu Hongji, who had secretly given up in the eyes of the Cui family, everyone talked and laughed, and this lively and sumptuous and delicious banquet was eaten for nearly an hour before it ended.

Liu Yuan's belly is also a little supportive, in general, he is still very satisfied, when he toasted in the middle, he also received two red envelopes, one was given by Mrs. Cui, and the other was given by Cui Jing, the future old Yue, Liu Yuan secretly opened it, not bad, the old lady is five taels of gold ingots, and Cui Jing is ten taels of gold ingots.

It is equivalent to one hundred and fifty taels, plus such a sumptuous meal, and the golden beans sent out in front of him are also considered to have returned a lot.

In the end, the old lady didn't use the strength of alcohol and let the waiting girl help her down, and Liu Yuan and Xu Hongji also took the opportunity to leave.

"Auntie" Liu Yuan just walked out of the corridor, but he didn't expect Chun'er to trot and call to himself at the same time, Liu Yuan saw her coming, and knew that there was something wrong, so he stopped moving.

Liu Yuan smiled: "It's you, Chun'er, come, I haven't given you a reward yet." ”

After speaking, she took out a golden bean and put it in her hand.

Chun'er pouted, didn't take it back immediately, or stretched out her hand and stopped in mid-air, it seemed to be a little dissatisfied, Liu Yuan immediately came to his senses, Ha Lu smiled, and rewarded two more golden beans, Chun'er accepted it with a smile.

Ordinary subordinates are rewarded with a golden bean, and Chun'er is Cui Mengyao's personal ring, so she is naturally superior to others among the subordinates.

"Hmph, count your acquaintance" got three golden beans, and Xiao Chili Chun'er said proudly: "I just finished eating, why are you in such a hurry, Miss has something to look for you." ”

"Where?"

"Follow." After Chun'er finished speaking, she turned her head and walked forward, while Liu Yuan followed happily.

It is said that the eighteenth change of the female university, Cui Mengyao is becoming more and more beautiful and generous, especially the act of maintaining herself at the banquet, which moved Liu Yuan even more, at this moment, she took the initiative to ask herself, can you not be happy?

It's a pity that it's only noon now, not dusk, otherwise, it can add a good story of "the willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk". (To be continued.) )
