201 Midnight Decree
"It's rare that you are so interested, you are all your own people, and you should be more close." Cui Jing said with a smile, turned his head and ordered his subordinates to find Liu Yuan.
Laughing on the surface, in fact, Cui Jing is still a little dissatisfied with this Wang Zichen in his heart, very simply, this Wang Zichen, accidentally saw Cui Mengyao's appearance at a party, and was shocked, so he came to propose marriage again and again, although Cui Mengyao's reaction to him was average at the beginning, but Cui Jing was very optimistic about him, and once thought that he was his future son-in-law.
Just when this matter was about to be decided, the Qinghe Cui clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan had a great difference in political opinions and power struggle, from the original mutual support to the development of secret confrontation and mutual demolition, such a thing, Wu Zichen and Cui Mengyao's matter, naturally announced that it had come to an end, there was no follow-up, and now Wang Zichen rushed to the scene in person, and also invited Liu Yuan, An, naturally not kind.
It is estimated that he is determined to not extinguish, and he is ready not to let Liu Yuan get better.
Liu Yuan frustrated Xu Hongji, and Cui Jing was clear about stepping on his position, which is also a reason why he was willing to marry his daughter to Liu Yuan, you are poor, you can have no status, but you must let me see your potential, you have to make me feel that you are not a mud that can't support the wall.
If Liu Yuan was one of those peddlers who had nothing to do, Cui Sanye would have let him disappear in this world, and now Cui Jing is not worried about Liu Yuan's talent, but Liu Yuan, who is dizzy from hunger, will he have a vegetable on his face and can't stand steadily, like a soft-legged crab, which makes people see jokes.
If it is spread out, it will not be an ordinary shame, if Liu Yuan is dizzy with hunger, and his poetry is not at the usual level, it will also damage the reputation of Liu Yuan and even the Cui family.
Cui Jing blamed himself a little in his heart: It's almost time to visit the church, what are you competing with him, anyway, it will be a long time coming, and it's not too late to train him slowly. Now it's okay, he is rude, and he is even more shameless.
Everyone was eating and drinking, while waiting for this Liu Yuan to appear, many people had not seen him, and they were very interested in him, and several of them who thought they were talented were even more energetic: This is a good opportunity to make a name for themselves, the reason is very simple, although "Xu Jiudou" was defeated by Liu Yuan's hands. However, his position among the northern scholars is as solid as a mountain, and no one can shake it, and when the time comes, he will not be ashamed to lose, if he is lucky. That's amazing, fame and status or something will come soon.
Everyone waited while eating. And in the embroidery building, there is no loneliness anywhere. Yahuan, who was in charge of listening to the news, ran back and reported: "Miss, Miss, they are going to fight poetry now, and they also asked people to call the future third aunt to go, it seems that it is very lively." β
Yahuan then explained the matter in a colorful voice.
After a while, he finished speaking. Many girls' eyes lit up, especially some girls who were waiting for the word boudoir, and they were all ready to move.
"Let's go, let's see."
"yes. Fight poetry, see who does it well. β
"Little Hoof, I think you want to take the opportunity to see which one is handsome, right?"
"You still say what about me, and you are not either? Originally, your father didn't want to bring you here, but when you heard that Wang Shaochen of the Taiyuan royal family was coming, he was entangled in coming. β
Everyone talked about it, and they all talked about the poetry competition, and as soon as there were many of them, they became bolder, and they were curious, and after discussing for a while, they decided to hide behind the screen in the main hall to see that the young talent was even more colorful.
Cui Mengyao is no exception, to be honest, she heard about Liu Yuanli sitting on Xu Jiudou, and she has also read the poems he wrote, and she secretly admires him in her heart, and now she sees him being pushed to the cusp, and she also wants to see how her future husband copes.
Actually, I also want to witness his demeanor, if there is another one to defeat the group, then there will be light in front of the sisters, to be honest, listening to their tone, Liu Yuan, who has a white body, does not have a high opinion of him, which makes Cui Mengyao feel a little unhappy, I heard that those people want to fight poetry, Cui Mengyao did not object, but followed them and hid behind the screen together.
"Liu Yuan pays a visit to Lord Shangshu." Finally, under the call of everyone, Liu Yuan finally came, and as soon as he came in, he greeted the master here, the future father-in-law Cui Jing.
As soon as Liu Yuan stepped into the hall, Cui Jing's eyes fell on him, seeing Liu Yuan's ruddy face, steady and powerful steps, smiling, and full of spring breeze, but he also looked a little personable, Cui Sanye finally breathed a sigh of relief, if he had a vegetable face, weak walking, and no energy, it would be really rude.
Although he didn't understand, he had been hungry for a few days, why was he still so energetic?
Thinking about it, now that everyone is watching this, it is not easy to ask in public, so I have to ask him a little sternly in public: "Let the subordinates look for you, so many guests are waiting for you, how to do things without any measure?" β
It's not that you locked me up in Qiufeng Courtyard, I didn't go anywhere, and I wanted to use food to force myself to submit, no, the thief shouted to catch the thief, and he turned the gun but attacked Liu Yuan in public.
These are the words of the scene, said to others, Liu Yuan was not stupid enough to care about these things with him, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, it's a small faux pas, it's just that I read it at night last night, and I didn't lie on the Hu bed until noon today, I didn't expect to oversleep as soon as I slept, and I asked Lord Shangshu and the person present to be more inclusive." β
"Flutter", Cui Mengyao, who was hiding behind the screen, couldn't help but chuckle, just laughed, felt inappropriate, and hurriedly covered it with her jade hand: That Liu Yuan was really funny, obviously he was imprisoned by his father and didn't give him food, and now the two of them asked and answered, Cui Jing pretended to be confused, but Liu Yuan was blowing a lot, as if he was singing.
Especially Liu Yuan, boasting that he picked up the lamp to talk at night, looking very studious, in fact, except for the candle oil lamp on the first night off, he didn't send it over, it was dark at night, where can I pick up the lamp and read at night?
Just don't ask, Cui Mengyao knows that Liu Yuan is bragging about cowhide, ha, he really dares to blow it.
After Cui Mengyao finished laughing, she secretly looked out again, only to see Cui Jing taking Liu Yuan and introducing the important guests present one by one, and Liu Yuan also saluted from time to time.
It can be regarded as introducing Cui's connections to him.
After a round of heavy and complicated greetings, Liu Yuan was arranged to sit under Cui Jing, which could be regarded as giving him face as the future son-in-law of the Cui family.
"Old prince, now that everyone has all the experience, please ask for a question." Seeing Liu Yuan coming, Wang Zichen's eyes were about to turn red with jealousy. As soon as he thought that Cui Mengyao, who was like a flower, was about to throw herself into his arms, and then let him "bully" caressing, he gritted his teeth in anger.
This "flower" was once very hopeful to be picked, but I didn't expect it to be inserted into Liu Yuan's "cow dung" now, can you not be angry?
What made him most uncomfortable was that this Liu Yuan was still a lowly businessman at the beginning, with a white body, so the Cui family would rather marry Cui Mengyao to Liu Yuan. didn't let himself get what he wanted, it was just angry with him, and the moment he received the news, he overturned a case on the spot and broke several exquisite antiques. Seeing Liu Yuan now, it is simply an enemy meeting. Extraordinarily red. As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Liu Yuan with a compassionate look.
For that Wang Zichen's shirt, Liu Yuan directly filtered, in fact, it was not only him, but there were jealous and secretly hateful eyes staring at him, nothing more than jealousy of his own life. Can he marry Cui Mengyao, and they only have eyes and drool?
Liu Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to them, in fact, when Cui Afu released himself, he told him that he was going to come to Doushi. If you have time to pay attention to them, you won't have some spirit, and you will plagiarize a few good poems for a while, so that you won't be unable to fall off the stage.
The old prince smiled when he heard this, and when he was waiting for Liu Yuan, he had already thought of the theme.
"Ahem" The old prince habitually coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention, and then said slowly: "Although the king of wood is a literati, but the most respected heroes in his life, like these themes of wind and snow, you have done it many times, today I will change the theme, on the theme of Xiang Yu, who is the force of the mountains and rivers to cover the world, give a poem, you talents, which one is the best, then, this jade pendant belongs to whom." β
What the? Xiang Yu?
Like the wind and snow, beauty singing and dancing, are the most commonly used themes when chanting poetry, there are scholars usually have occasional masterpieces, but also refuse to show people easily, wait for the right opportunity and then proudly read out, a blockbuster, so in those poetry meetings, a lot of excellent poems emerge at once, it is not surprising, some people who do not learn and do not know, will also spend a lot of money to buy all kinds of good poems, set aside for when necessary and then take out to decorate the faΓ§ade.
And this theme from this old prince can be regarded as ingenious, at least, even those scholars who deceive the world and steal their fame will not succeed easily, lest their jade pendant fall into the hands of those people, and the pearl will be secretly invested.
Sure enough, as soon as the theme of this competition came out, there was a faint look of disappointment on the faces of several scholars.
When Wang Zichen heard this, he was neither happy nor angry, and said to Liu Yuan with a smile: "Brother Liu, I look forward to your masterpiece." β
"Well said, well said." Liu Yuan was not polite and accepted all the orders.
Here, humility is useless, especially for those who want to see themselves embarrassed or want to step on their own position, but also to be domineering and exposed, so that they have a sense of powerlessness, and they admire you more.
"Hmph" Seeing Liu Yuan speak so loudly, Wang Zichen felt a sense of humiliation, snorted slightly, turned his head to the other side, and began to conceive poems about Xiang Yu.
After all, it is useless to compete here, and it is useless to take advantage of the words, and the last thing is to see the truth in poetry.
"Ah, you hit someone?"
"What about beating you, hurry up and open the door, be careful that you can't afford to eat and move your head."
"Bang Bang Bang"
A group of young talents competed, pondered, everyone was cautious, trying not to make a sound, so as not to interrupt their train of thought, disturb their mood of poetry, unexpectedly, it seemed that there was a sound of argument and scolding at the gate, and someone knocked on the door of Cui's mansion vigorously.
Although the main hall is not close to the main entrance, it can still be heard very clearly in the dead of night.
The people present were suddenly surprised, who was so faceless, actually beat the guards of Cui Mansion, and dared to knock on the door of Cui Mansion, even Cui Jing on the side, his face was a little angry, and he was a little worried and uneasy.
In Cui's Mansion, in the middle of the night, who was so unscrupulous and didn't give Qinghe Cui's face?
"Old, sir, someone from the palace has come." A subordinate ran fast and stumbled into the main hall to report to Cui Jing.
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "The decree has arrived" (to be continued.) )
PS: When I got up in the morning, I saw that the book friend said that the rhythm was not tight enough recently, and there was a suspicion of water injection, in fact, it was a difference in the understanding of the wealthy family, and I had to leave some foreshadowing, and I thought about the plot while watching the ball in the morning
