She recalled it carefully, and felt that although she was in a bad mood that day, she shouldn't have offended the new Zhongshu Sheren much, and she didn't know what Cui Jiu was worried about.

However, Cui Jiu smiled, took the teapot and poured half a cup for her, and shook his head: "Not that time, it will be earlier." ”

Earlier?

She held the lamp and groaned for a moment, took a sip, and suddenly her eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled: "It turned out to be you!" ”

She remembered that it was the seventh year of Xinghe, and she went to Beijing with Zheng Yu.

As he was leaving, the carriage accidentally hit a child.

The child was only four or five years old, very beautiful, but very cunning, and refused to tell which one she belonged to, until the child's brother came to the hospital.

That child is Cui Jiu's younger brother Cui Temporary.

At that time, she left in a hurry, and did not pay much attention to the child's brother, only remembering that it was a beautiful teenager.

It's Cui Temporary's child, she has always been very impressed.

"Cui Temp is very close to his first husband's eyes, and he praises him for his talent and eclecticism, but his temperament is a little untamed, and then Chi Hou wanted to accept apprentices, and I first thought of Cui Temp, with Chi Hou's ability, he will definitely be able to lower him, but I didn't expect that-" She said this, shaking her head and laughing.

Unexpectedly, Cui temporarily provoked Chi Changting's daughter by committing suicide.

Until this year, Cui's wanted to arrange for Cui to temporarily join the office, but Li Yan called him back and ordered him to "study hard".

Lu Zijin was smiling, but he caught a glimpse of Cui Jiu's face without a trace of a smile, and he pondered in his heart and said with a smile: "Deputy Envoy Cui was only sixteen years old at that time, right?" There are some differences from the appearance of the crown after adulthood. ”

She really didn't recognize Cui Jiu all along, and now she also remembered Cui Temporarily's speculation, when the young man's face was still vague.

However, I didn't expect Cui Jiu to be unhappy because of this, not quite like his usual temperament.

But Cui Jiu's temperament today is very big, and even if she explained, her face was still pale: "It's not that time." ”

Not yet?

Lu Zijin was stunned.

Could it be that she had seen Cui Jiu earlier?

She kept guessing impatiently, so she said: "I really don't remember, and I ask Deputy Envoy Cui to make it clear." ”

Cui Jiu smiled faintly: "It's the autumn ...... of the second year of Xinghe"

Lu Zijin was stunned again.

In the second year of Xinghe, a lot happened to her.

In the spring of that year, when she entered Beijing, it coincided with the palace trial list.

The young champion, White Horse Royal Street, was the first time she met Chi Changting.

That summer, she and Zheng Yu agreed on a wedding date.

When the news came, she had just met the young prince Li Yan, and she had some vague thoughts in her heart, but she cut it off.

In the autumn of that year, she set off to return to her hometown to marry Zheng.

It was the most dazed period of her life, feeling like she had lost something, and she was overwhelmed by what she was about to get.

At that time, had she seen Cui Jiu?

"I'm not impressed." Lu Zijin replied truthfully.

I just shook my head, but I remembered.

In the autumn of the second year of Xinghe, when she passed through Xiangyang on her way back to Wu County, she borrowed to live in the Liu's house.

It happened that there was a group of young teenagers in Liu's family for a banquet, and when they heard that she was in Liu's family, they invited her to come forward to evaluate calligraphy and painting through the girl of Liu's family.

She was uneasy at the time, so she only looked at a few people at random.

The girl of the Liu family specially pointed to a person and asked her how she was.

She glanced at it and saw that it was a beautiful young man of eleven or twelve years old, so she smiled and said, "This son is very good-looking." ”

……

This son has a very good appearance-

It turns out that she said this......

"It seems that the envoy still has an impression." Cui Jiu smiled.

Lu Zijin smiled in surprise: "It turned out to be Deputy Envoy Cui, I really didn't expect it...... Shame shame. ”

How many years ago? I can't see that Cui Jiu is such a grudge-minded person.

"Did Mr. Lu read my handwriting back then?"

Lu Zijin smiled and shook his head: "At that time, I was indeed a little absent-minded, and many people's calligraphy and paintings didn't look carefully. ”

Cui Jiu was called to be a scholar because of his good writing, presumably it would not be too bad when he was young, it turned out to hurt his self-esteem, but it is not easy to understand it when he thinks about it now, after all, he is not young anymore.

"Was it because of the marriage with the Zheng family that I was absent-minded at the time?" Cui Jiu smiled humbly and politely as usual, as if he didn't realize that he had asked too deeply.

Lu Zijin's eyes were slightly condensed, stared at him for a while, and said with a smile: "Tonight is dangerous, but Deputy Envoy Cui is calm and elegant, which is really admirable." ”

Cui Jiu also smiled: "Tonight is dangerous, there are some words, I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, I won't have a chance in the future." ”

Lu Zijin smiled: "If there is no danger tonight, but you talk too much, wouldn't it be embarrassing to see each other in the future?" ”

Cui Jiu stared at her and said softly, "After tonight, we have lived and died together, I ...... Isn't there any difference? ”

Lu Zijin smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly, Yao Wenju's ecstatic voice came from outside the door: "Lu Envoy!" Nishinomiya succeeds! ”

She suddenly got up and said in a loud voice: "King of Khotan, please!" ”

Yao Wenju was inspired.

She looked back with a smile, Cui Jiuzheng looked at her with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It's still going to be embarrassing......

……

The Xiongnu envoy and the head of the prime minister of Khotan put it in front of the king of Khotan, and the king of Khotan was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground.

Chi Changting was right.

The countries of the Western Regions were intimidated by Turkic force all year round, and they respected strength.

When the king of Khotan saw that his party was as cruel as the Turks, his attitude softened a lot, and he even offered to send the prince as a hostage.

"Why don't you let Deputy Envoy Cui accompany Prince Khotan back to Beijing?" Lu Zijin looked at Cui Jiu inquiringly.

Cui Jiu's eyes were cold, he frowned at her, and said, "Khotan will send an envoy to escort the prince, why do we need to send someone to accompany him?" ”

Deng Wei also objected: "Who knows if the king of Khotan will go back on his word, in case he goes to Beijing halfway to regret it, wouldn't Deputy Envoy Cui be dangerous?" If we divide more troops to escort Deputy Envoy Cui, we will be overstretched when we arrive in Kangju! ”

Lu Zijin thought about it, so he didn't insist anymore.

When the subordinate officials retired, Cui Jiu stayed with a cold face.

As soon as the door was closed, he aggressively asked: "Is Lu Envoy trying to use his power for personal gain and transfer the subordinate officials away from his eyes?" ”

Lu Zijin smiled slightly: "Yes!" ”

Cui Jiu choked suddenly.

Lu Zijin's tone was slight, and he said, "After a hard night's work, Deputy Envoy Cui should go and rest." ”

Cui Jiu looked at her without saying a word.

Lu Zijin said with a smile: "Deputy Envoy Cui doesn't want to rest, but this official is tired. ”

Cui Jiu sighed lightly and bowed and retired.

When he returned to his room, he lay down on the bed.

The sunlight shone through the curtain, and then the bed curtains stopped, and before his eyes, the light was as obscured as the candlelight of last night.

Under the candlelight, she smiled openly in her eyes, and laughed openly at him for holding grudges.

How can you hold a grudge? Just remembering her.

When I first saw Xiangyang that year, I wore a green shirt, which suppressed the beauty of the world, and gave him too much shock when he was young.

With a first sight, there was a later appraisal of calligraphy and painting.

I just want to impress her and say a few words to her.

It's a pity that she didn't even look at his calligraphy and paintings, she only glanced at him with a smile, and jokingly said to the girl of the Liu family that this son has a very good appearance.

As long as he was praised by her, even if it was a praise of his appearance, he was happy at that time.

But after she said that, she left.

Later, he learned that she was returning to her hometown this time to get married......

But in fact, it makes no difference whether she marries or not.

He knew Yao Wuji's hard work, Xu Hang's infatuation, and knew that there were many people who admired her.

But no one could impress her.

No one knew how to impress her.

The woman he had dreamed of for more than ten years, for more than ten years, he didn't know how to impress her.
