568 Passing through the door
Seeing the big gold lacquer characters on the two plaques of [Cui Mansion] from a distance, Liu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Cui Jing said that he took a carriage, he not only used a good horse-drawn carriage, but also used two good horses to pull it, and there was a private guard in front of him to open the road, which was very fast, and Liu Yuan only caught up six days after he set off, and then the two of them went forward together, along the way, there were many companions, so it was okay, by the way, you could discuss the highway matter.
Looking at the words of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, I don't know what it is, Liu Yuan suddenly felt the incomparably heavy of those two words: simple two words, the glory and responsibility of the substitute.
There are many mansions, such as the Horse Mansion, the Guogong Mansion, the General's Mansion, etc., which look very majestic, but in fact, the power comes from a gift from others, and the glory is really dependent on the family, and the background is naturally impossible to talk about.
Cui's is very prominent and in a high position, but just hanging the word [Cui Fu] is enough.
The Tang Dynasty has only been established for more than ten years, and the Qinghe Cui clan has been standing for hundreds of years since Cui Yan, with deep heritage and far-reaching influence, the Cui clan does not rely on the Li clan to have such glory, on the contrary, if there is no support from the Cui clan and other scholars, Li Yuan will not be able to fight for the world, many people see how Li Er fights with soldiers like gods, how the generals are majestic, and they can't see the role of the warriors behind it, silver grain, soldiers, weapons, logistics support, providing intelligence, etc., if necessary, they will also buy for him, rebel and other matters, It is not an exaggeration to say that the establishment of the Tang Dynasty depends on the scholars.
Li Er successively married Concubine Yin (a woman of the Yin family), Concubine Yang (the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, used by the former ministers of the previous dynasty), Cui Cairen (Qinghe Cui's), Xiao Cairen (Xiao family), Wang Cairen (Taiyuan Wang's) and so on, not how good the women of these families are, but through in-laws to win allies, that is, political marriages, to win their support. In fact, it is to have a good relationship with the scholars, and the government will be harmonious, and the rule of Zhenguan will be so smooth.
It's just two words, but it has witnessed the efforts, enterprising and struggle of dozens of generations of the Cui family, and has survived countless times, choosing and fighting.
"Xiaoyuan, what kind of flute. It's home. Cui Jingdu got off the carriage, but he didn't expect to see Liu Yuan still riding on the horse, looking at the plaque in a daze, and couldn't help but ask strangely.
Liu Yuan came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted. Hurriedly said: "Well, a little." ”
"The old man saw you staring at the plaque in a daze. Any questions? ”
"There is no problem," Liu Yuan explained, "I used to think that Qinghe was very prominent. Now I know that behind this honor, there are responsibilities and hardships, and the Qinghe Cui clan can stand for so long, I think, a lot of work has been done. ”
Cui Jing patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "You can see this." It's good, it's more mature than I thought. ”
At this time, the door of Cui's Mansion had been opened, and a large group of people came out to greet Cui Jing.
"Father-in-law. Let's go, the old lady and Meng Yao must have been in a hurry. Liu Yuan said with a smile.
I don't know what to do, as soon as I entered Qinghe City, Liu Yuan's mood had an indescribable excitement, when he saw Qinghe City hanging lanterns and colors, jubilant everywhere, when he thought of everything, it was for his wife to serve, and an inexplicable excitement rose in his heart, I remember the first time I came here, I was still an insignificant small businessman, in order to earn silver, I personally sent jewelry, at that time, I was afraid to win, it was difficult to become an atmosphere; When I came for the second time, I was forced by Cui Jing to come with the mood of "happy to be a father", although I was also bright at that time, but I had no name and no profit, giving people the feeling that I was like a poor boy who stepped on shit luck, and I couldn't raise my head a little.
This is the third time, this time the situation is very different, the entire Qinghe Cui family is a heartfelt welcome to themselves, that is, Cui Jing's old boy, who used to be picky about himself in every way, can now be said to be more loving, just when he returned to Qinghe, in order to be outstanding for Liu Yuan, he also pitted Wu Wang Li Ke, no matter what, in the past year, this is a huge progress for himself.
"The old slave has seen the third master and the uncle."
"Third master, you are finally back, the old lady was still nagging just now."
"Uncle is getting more and more energetic."
"Hard work"
While Liu Yuan and Cui Jing were talking, several housekeepers from the Cui family trotted out to greet them, saluting and greeting each other, with a very enthusiastic attitude, and Liu Yuan and Cui Jing also greeted them with a smile.
"Is the old lady alright?" Cui Jing hurriedly asked.
The big housekeeper hurriedly responded: "Back to the third master's words, the old lady's body is still strong, and she is in a cheerful mood and smiles all day long, but recently she has been talking about the third master and Aunt Liu Yuan. ”
Cui Jing said with a look of self-reproach: "It's really a sin to let her old man worry, Liu Yuan, let's go see the old lady together." ”
"Yes, father-in-law."
Just as the two of them were about to go to see Mrs. Cui, the big housekeeper suddenly stopped Liu Yuan and said, "Uncle, please stay." ”
"Ah, what, what's the matter?" Liu Yuan asked suspiciously.
The chief housekeeper hurriedly saluted and said: "That's the case, because the aunt and the young lady have not yet visited the church, and they are not from the Cui Mansion for the time being, and now it is the eve of the wedding, so as not to be criticized, it is best to retreat for the time being, which is equivalent to welcoming the relatives, and then come to the door to pick up people." ”
"What?" Liu Yuan screamed in surprise.
It's about to go to church, which one is this singing? Didn't you live in the Cui Mansion last time? Why did it suddenly change again, could it be that Cui Jing, the old boy, was going to change his hexagram again?
Cui Jing was also taken aback, turned his head and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"That's the case" The big housekeeper hurriedly explained: "This is what the old lady means, if the uncle lives in Cui's house, I am afraid of provoking criticism, in order not to let people underestimate the uncle, the old lady bought a new house, and asked someone to decorate it once, so that the time can also welcome the young lady back, and finish the process, the old lady said, this is her own body, and it has nothing to do with Cui's, the uncle gave a lot of gifts to the old lady, the old lady liked it very much, and never gave any good meeting gifts to the uncle, this house, Even if it's a gift from the elders to the younger generations. ”
"If you have a house here, you will go back to Qinghe more often in the future, so that it will be convenient for the old lady to see the young lady." After speaking, the chief butler added in a low voice: "Actually, it's right next to it, and the Cui Mansion is just a wall away." ”
"This, this"
Cui Jing nodded and said, "It's still the old lady who thinks thoughtfully, well, that's how to do it, Liu Yuan, you better go back to the new house and live." ”
"The elders give it, don't dare to resign, Liu Yuan has thanked his ancestors here." Liu Yuan said gratefully.
I thought about it too thoughtfully, this meeting gift is too rich, and most importantly, it also reflects the carefulness of Mrs. Cui, if Liu Yuan lives in Cui's Mansion and marries in Cui's Mansion, it is a bit like a son-in-law who comes to the door, and it is not good-looking to say that his face is not good-looking, and he has a set of his own house, although it is only next door to Cui's Mansion, but this meaning is completely different, it is both love and maintenance, can Liu Yuan not be grateful?
In fact, Liu Yuan also knows that the Cui family is very united, how to say it, to his own people, as warm as spring, and to outsiders, he is as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
Liu Yuan originally wanted to see Cui Mengyao's, but the old lady Cui arranged it like this, so she had to take the wild wolf, the blood knife and a few guards, and follow the second housekeeper to live in her new house, which can also be said to be receiving.
I endured so much, and I didn't care about the past two or three days.
Liu Yuan turned over his horse and looked at the open gate, and then he left with some reluctance.
I don't know if this counts as passing through the door and not entering.
Cui Jing followed the big butler, walked quickly to the main hall, and saw his mother, where the highest ranking person in the Cui family was sitting, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Unfilial son to meet my mother." ”
The old lady nodded and said, "No courtesy, come quickly, let my mother see." ”
"Yes" Cui Jing responded, and hurriedly walked to the old lady, this Sanpin master, like a child, bent down to let his mother see more clearly, Mrs. Cui touched his face, and then said a little distressedly: "San'er has lost weight." ”
Recently, Cui Jing has presided over the construction of Daming Palace, and from time to time he has to devote himself to the highway from Chang'an to Luoyang.
"There's been a lot of things lately, not to mention losing weight, but my body is stronger, and I have Mother Lao worried."
"Daddy"
At this time, a woman walked out from behind the screen, and before she came out, she shouted at Cui Jing, Cui Jing turned his head and saw that it was his beloved daughter Cui Mengyao.
"Yao'er."
As soon as he saw his daughter, Cui Jing's old face burst into laughter, and he hurriedly approached, gently touching her hair, and said with a smile: "My son has also lost some money." ”
Cui Mengyao shook her head while looking left and right, and said, "What's the matter, my daughter eats and sleeps well every day, but you have to take care of your body more than your father." ”
The daughter was hiding behind the screen just now, and now she is looking left and right, Cui Jing doesn't understand that she is looking for Liu Yuan, and she wants to see her, and she is shy, so she hides behind the screen and peeks, sure enough, she is an outgoing girl, now she is like a mustard in October, she is upset, and now she sees herself coming back and does not see Liu Yuan's figure, so she shows up, but now she still keeps looking out, needless to say, she is looking for Liu Yuan's figure.
Nine times out of ten, the old lady gave Liu Yuan's house, even her daughter was hidden in the dark, and she would give him a surprise or something.
"What am I looking for?" Cui Jing smiled and asked knowingly.
Cui Mengyao bit her lip, her face turned a little red, and she asked in a low voice, "That, didn't you say that Liu Yuan is also back?" Why don't you see him? ”
I remembered in my heart that my father was teasing me tomorrow, but Cui Mengyao couldn't help but ask.
"Haha"
Cui Jing finally couldn't help laughing, laughing so much that Cui Mengyao's face turned red, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old lady gave him a house and asked him to live first, according to the rules, he will come to pick you up on the wedding day." ”
Ah, didn't come? Cui Mengyao's eyes were a little lost all of a sudden, I thought that I could still meet and complain about the pain of lovesickness, but it seems that I will have to wait a few more days. (To be continued......)
