Liu Yuan was speechless, what is Old Demon King Cheng doing?
With Pei Jingyan's personality, the most typical lady is beautiful, beautiful, wise, and reserved, and will definitely not make such an active performance, nine times out of ten it is the meaning of Cheng Lao Demon King's couple, it can be seen from the faint helplessness between Pei Jingyan's eyebrows, the more Liu Yuan thinks about it, the more he thinks that this is the case, thinking that at the beginning, in order to promote Pei Jingyan, Cheng Pei's family, that is, Pei Caixia, the most beautiful wife, personally went out to lobby and hint, and at that time, Liu Yuanlei was not light, and I thought that Pei Caixia had taken a fancy to herself and wanted to wear a hat for Cheng Lao Demon King. Later, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
I don't know what they think, Old Demon King Cheng personally brought people up.
Needless to say, more and more attention is paid to Liu Yuan's potential, recruiting a good son-in-law for the Pei family, and they can also settle a good favor at both ends, this is a society where male power reigns, marriage can be a good match, or a political bargaining chip, then Cui Jing's daughter is so big, but there are still many people who want to send the woman who is like a flower in the family or clan to the lascivious old man, so as to climb the big tree of the Cui family in Qinghe, and Liu Yuan's popularity is not low, that is, from time to time there are still people in Liu Yuan's ear saying how virtuous and beautiful a certain woman is.
Seeing Old Demon King Cheng's unhappy face, Liu Yuan hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Cheng, what you said, the little nephew knows everything, but isn't it inappropriate now?" ”
"What's out of place? Now it's just running through the door, and the face is familiar" Cheng Old Demon King said disapprerovantly: "Get to know each other now, and get along well in the future, don't think that no one wants my Cheng family's cousin and niece, it's not good for a big girl to show up, there are a lot of mixed boys in Chang'an, it's not good for people to bully, I'll discuss it with your aunt, and I can't do it every day to let the geese be bored at home." I heard that it was very lively here, so I sent it here, why, not happy? ”
Han one, the name of Cheng Lao Demon King, even the prince is timid when he hears it, as long as he brings out the notoriety, Chang'an Evil Shao also runs away with his eyebrows when he hears it, who dares to beat Pei Jingyan's idea?
Liu Yuan said with a sneer: "What about that, it's just." I'm afraid that it will damage the reputation of Sister Shocking Goose. ”
Although the Tang Dynasty has an open style, a girl who has not yet left the cabinet runs to the house of a married man, and the rumors go out, which is indeed not good.
Old Demon King Cheng said indifferently: "You are too worried, the emperor's princess Changle." Isn't it running every day at your house? The princess didn't care, the emperor didn't object, and the Manchu civil and military forces were not impeached. What are I afraid of the geese of the old Cheng family? Ultimately. She's still your daughter-in-law who hasn't passed the door yet, I have no opinion with your aunt, besides, your kid's reputation in Chang'an is not bad, what is there to be afraid of? ”
Seeing that Liu Yuan is getting better and better, the special Erjin Tubo can still get out of the whole body. And every time it made Tubo anxious and made great achievements, it fully reflected Liu Yuan's ability, and Cheng Lao Demon King and his wife began to be satisfied with their vision. And the current patriarch of the Pei clan in Hedong also wrote a letter to Pei Caixia, in addition to recognition, the letter revealed that Pei Caixia's own brother was included in the core decision-making circle, and also hinted that she should hurry up, the patriarch's handwritten letter, for a married woman, this is a great honor, especially for the benefit of her younger brother, Pei Caixia was happy, but also acted immediately.
In her eyes, her cousin niece and Liu Yuan, a talented woman, that is a perfect match, although she can't be the main room, but Pei Jingyan's status in the Pei family also belongs to the side branch, the princess of Tubo can still be a concubine, and it is not a grievance to be a concubine.
Getting married as soon as possible and having children as soon as possible, if she is in the front, it will also be of great benefit to her status, and the couple discussed it and acted in advance.
Liu Yuan was speechless again, come on, Li Li's quality went to the door, but it gave him an excellent reason, who dares to Princess Li, isn't it? Who dares to say that Li Er's tutor is not good?
However, Old Demon King Cheng didn't come to the door to force marriage, and when he saw Pei Da Beauty, Liu Yuan was also happy, beautiful and delicious, there was nothing to say, so he changed the topic and said: "Uncle Cheng, didn't you say that you had something to find me just now?" What's the matter? ”
As soon as it came to business, Cheng Lao Demon King immediately said with a straight face: "The 300,000 taels of silver have been delivered to the household, and the emperor has really praised it, Cui Shangshu of the household, that is, your uncle, to tell the old man whether he can replace silver with work, he said that this is what the emperor meant." ”
Cui Shang is also ingenious at this time, he doesn't ask directly, but trusts the old demon king, so that he is not afraid of others saying that he colluded with Liu Yuan and sought national interests or something.
"Work for money?"
"That's what I said, listen to the emperor's meaning, the treasury will be tight with silver in recent years, the Ministry of Industry has a large number of craftsmen, and there are also a large number of prisoners in the prison, and it is also a waste of food to be locked in, it is better to let them do some work, that's almost what it means, how do you think this matter is handled?" Old Demon King Cheng shook his head and said.
Liu Yuan hesitated slightly, but quickly agreed: "This is also a good thing, there are more people, and the progress of the project can be faster, but there are many extremely vicious people in the prison, so pay attention to this point and be careful of riots." Soon, Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "Let them do it alone, and the laborers should not mix together, so as not to cause trouble." ”
"Okay, let your father-in-law and brothers discuss this matter, anyway, one is the Ministry of Works, the other is the Ministry of Households, they said okay, and then report it to the emperor."
"Okay, I'll be in charge of the technique, and the other uncles will discuss it." Liu Yuan nodded in agreement.
Old Demon King Cheng suddenly asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you would level that stone mountain the day after tomorrow?" Why are you still so laid-back? I didn't see you busy, didn't you really brag and coax us? ”
"I've been preparing, the emperor will come in person after tomorrow, and the little nephew doesn't dare to be guilty of bullying the king."
"Where's the stuff?" Old Demon King Cheng said strangely: "You won't be ready to dig flat with your hands, right?" ”
Liu Yuan said proudly: "The mountain people have their own clever plans, forgive the little nephew for selling a pass, and the day after tomorrow will be seen." ”
Cheng Lao Demon King suddenly said with a straight face: "It's hard to come back, the matter of Changluo Expressway, grasp it tightly, don't tell you, several of your uncles have sold their properties for this road, especially your uncle Niu, who also borrowed money, so I hope to put it into use quickly, let's not worry about whether we make money or not, let's get the capital back, if it goes well, we will build other highways, so that we can break our hands and feet, and we can have no worries about food and clothing." ”
"Yes, Uncle Cheng rest assured, the little nephew must be attentive." Seeing that Old Demon King Cheng had such a solemn face, Liu Yuan also said with a serious face.
"That's good," Old Demon King Cheng said proudly.
The two chatted for a while about Changluo Expressway, and the old demon king Cheng patted his ass and left, in his words, the battle ahead, the military affairs were heavy, and he couldn't stay here for a long time, and then handed over the task of escorting Pei Da Beauty to Liu Yuan, and told Liu Yuan to book the date as soon as possible, and the two of them would be married to Yunyun, what could Liu Yuan say, he could only agree again and again.
After sending away the old demon king Cheng who had nothing to do, Liu Yuan turned around to find Pei Jingyan to see what she was doing.
This time, Liu Yuan didn't even need to ask his subordinates to know where they were and what they were doing, because there was a familiar shuffling sound in the backyard, and there were also women's laughter from time to time.
Liu Yuan walked to the backyard with a smile, and sure enough, he saw several women playing cards together, it turned out that it was Cui Mengyao who came back from their purchases, and there were enough people to play cards at once, to Liu Yuan's surprise, Pei Jingyan was already sitting in the position of playing cards and began to play cards, and Xiao Niang sat aside as a military advisor, pointing quietly to those cards, Pei Jingyan's ten fingers were slender, even if it was the appearance of touching the cards, it was also elegant and moving.
"Senior brother, why are you here? Are you done talking to General Cheng? As soon as the little lady saw Liu Yuan coming over, she hurriedly shouted.
As soon as "General Liu" Pei Jingyan saw Liu Yuan, he immediately stood up and saluted Liu Yuan.
Cui Mengyao and the others greeted Liu Yuan one after another.
"Miss Pei doesn't have to be polite, feel free here, you play cards, don't pay attention to me, I'll come over and take a look at it at will." Liu Yuan motioned for them to continue playing.
After everyone sat down, Xiao Niang smiled and said to Liu Yuan: "Senior brother, Miss Pei is so smart, I talked to her for a while, and I only played a few games to get started, you see, she also earned more than ten taels of silver for me." ”
"Where, this is the second lady's good guidance." Pei Jingyan hurriedly said modestly.
Du Sanniang also smiled and said: "Miss Pei is not only beautiful, but also so smart, it's really amazing." ”
Cui Mengyao also nodded and said: "I have heard for a long time that the women of the Pei family in Hedong have paid attention to cultivation since childhood, and each of them is extremely outstanding. ”
"Yes, Miss Pei is so polite, she gave Xue'er a string of jade chains as soon as they met, which really broke her bank." Hu Xin also said with a smile on the side.
It really deserves to be from a big family, and it only took a while to get together so quickly, this affinity and communicative power are really not blown, Liu Yuan also nodded secretly when he heard this.
"So many ladies are really killing the frightening geese, there are many disturbances, if there is anything that is not thoughtful, please bear with me." Pei Jingyan hurriedly said humbly.
Liu Yuan felt as if he was redundant, a few women, you said a word, I didn't say a word, I couldn't interject at all, couldn't help shaking his head, and said to a few women: "Okay, let's talk, Miss Pei is a guest, you can entertain her." ”
"Xianggong, do you still want to go out now?" Cui Mengyao was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"Well, the day after tomorrow, I have to go to the construction site of Changluo Expressway to deal with some things, and now I have to make a little preparation."
The day after tomorrow will blow up the rocky mountain, now we have to do some preparatory work, check the preparation of gunpowder, and also adjust the manpower, such as drilling, vigilance, etc., these work can not be delayed any longer.
"Okay, then you go early and come back early, be careful." Cui Mengyao cautioned.
After Liu Yuan said goodbye to several women, he turned around and walked out.
"Senior brother, I'll take your clothes for you." The little lady said a word and quickly followed Liu Yuan. (To be continued......)
