The eldest grandson Chong took the invitation, and the words on it were also very simple, except for the words of the Cui family's worship post outside, he immediately only wrote that tomorrow at noon, the third floor of Yufengzhai please.

The eldest grandson Chong looked at this post with disgust on his face, and finally snorted coldly: "Just go, I want to see what this Cui Gongzi wants to do!" ”

At noon the next day, the third floor of Yufengzhai.

Cui Gongzi fanned the fan and listened to the story of the storyteller below, and said with some unhappiness: "This Yufengzhai shopkeeper is really twisted, today I want to charter a venue, he actually disagreed, saying that everyone listens to the story in a row, and can't just charter the venue!" ”

The people on the side pinched their beards and looked at Cui Gongzi and said: "There are capable people behind this Yufengzhai, and it can be opened so well in a place like Chang'an, so naturally it will not break the rules casually." ”

Cui Gongzi nodded, and didn't turn his head to look at him, but said a little proudly: "But this person also sold me a cent of thin noodles and asked me to wrap up the third floor, which is also convenient for me to talk about today!" ”

The people on the side didn't answer him, but said in their hearts: "This face is not cheap, this Yufeng Zhai on the third floor for a day is enough to ask for a piece of gold, which is enough to eat tea here for a long time!" ”

Cui Gongzi saw that he didn't speak, and then said: "Steward Li, let's let Mickey's Restaurant deliver the meal here for lunch today, anyway, we are already gold members with them, since there is a free meal delivery discount in Chang'an City, why not take advantage of it!" You must know that you are not a gold member, and it will cost them an extra two taels of silver to deliver food! ”

Steward Li nodded, left the house and ordered the second child below, on the way he couldn't help but complain: "This gold medal member costs twenty taels of silver a month, and you can't count the meal money and can only add reservations, and this food delivery service, their store is two streets away, don't you just walk two steps to get there!?" Anyway, it's your family's money, you can spend it how you like! ”

Saying that, Steward Li found Xiao Er of Yufeng Zhai, "Xiao Er, you go to the Mickey Gold Restaurant next door and ask them to deliver today's lunch to Cui Gongzi's room on the third floor here." ”

As he spoke, Steward Li took out a small piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er took the silver and looked at Steward Li and said, "Okay, just wait, next time let me go to Mickey Gold Restaurant to urge the meal, don't give me the silver, Mickey Restaurant has a cooperation with our family!" ”

Saying that, Xiao Er went upstairs, Steward Li looked inexplicable, and watched Xiao Er run upstairs quickly, and said that you don't go to do anything after you receive the money, what are you going to run upstairs.

However, after following Xiao Er upstairs, Steward Li saw Xiao Er shake a thread, and then heard the bell ringing next to Xiao Er, only to see Xiao Er pick up two wooden cups next to the bell, one cup on his ear, and one cup on his mouth. Then I saw this little two open his mouth and said: "There is a Cui Gongzi for lunch today, and he asked to send lunch to the third floor of Yufengzhai, you know, right, it's good to send it over later!" ”

With that, he put the wooden cup back.

Steward Li looked at this magical scene and said with some surprise: "You just said a few words casually to this wooden cup, and the people over there heard it?" ”

Xiao Er looked at him proudly and said: "Naturally, I heard it, but these things can only be used at a relatively close distance, if they are too far, they will not work, in fact, there are too many people outside and it is a little noisy, if you stand here at night and shout towards the place of Mickey's restaurant, they can also hear it!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Er went downstairs to serve the guests, leaving Steward Li with a confused face, but before he could go down in a daze, the figure of Changsun Chong came up.

Steward Li saw that the eldest grandson Chong was dressed in a gorgeous dress with a delicate face, and immediately stopped him and said: "This son is sorry, the third floor was covered by my son-in-law today, if you want to drink tea, go to the second and first floors!" ”

Seeing that this person didn't know him, the eldest grandson Chong silently took out the invitation from his sleeve and threw it to him, and said as he walked: "Your son-in-law just reported this third floor to talk to me!" ”

Steward Li took the invitation and realized who this person was, and said with some embarrassment: "It turned out to be the eldest grandson, the younger one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please here." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the eldest grandson Chong, silently brought him to the door of the room where Cui Gongzi was, knocked lightly on the door and said, "Childe, the eldest grandson has arrived." ”

When Cui Gongzi heard Steward Li's words, he also put away his heart to listen to the story, and after gesturing to the woman making tea on the side, Cui Gongzi said, "Come in!" ”

Steward Li opened the door in response, and the eldest grandson Chong followed the housekeeper into the house, and the woman who made the tea left the room silently.

Cui Gongzi pushed one of the cups of tea in the direction of Changsun Chong, then raised his head to look at him, and said after a while: "Changsun Gongzi, please sit down and taste this good tea I brought from Jiangnan with me." ”

Instead of drinking tea, Changsun Chong pushed the cup of tea back, looked at Cui Gongzi with a righteous look and said, "Cui Gongzi, why did you deal with me?" I have no grudges with your Cui family! ”

Cui Gongzi's eyes shifted to Changsun Chong's face with the teacup pushed back by Changsun Chong, and his expression was no longer as relaxed as just now, but looked at Changsun Chong a little coldly and said: "Naturally, there are no grievances, and your father, Changsun Wuji, is also the main speaker of our Jiangnan Shi clan in the court!" ”

Eldest Sun Chong nodded, looked at Cui Gongzi with confusion and said, "Then why are you targeting me?" I heard that in the past few days, your people inside and outside Chang'an City have been spreading the news that I used a living person to bury me, does that person have anything to do with you? Can you explain why? ”

Cui Gongzi did not answer Changsun Chong's words, but pushed back the tea that Changsun Chong had returned, the teacup moved on the coffee table, Cui Gongzi said: "Changsun Gongzi, don't worry, drink this cup of tea first, and then we will talk about it in detail after drinking tea!" ”

How could the eldest grandson chong be so angry, silently pushed the cup of tea back and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you want to ask me to have tea, then we can take time to taste the tea tomorrow, but please tell me about today's affairs!" ”

Cui Gongzi saw that Changsun Chong still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, and finally smiled, looking at Changsun Chong's eyes and narrowing a little, "In the past two years, I don't think you don't know your father's voice in the court, little by little no longer speaking for the Jiangnan Shi clan, more and more towards the Li family, if people who are involved in everything naturally don't feel much of a gap, but I have been traveling abroad for the past two years and have not participated in political affairs. Some time ago, I suddenly went back to take charge of things, and I found that the relationship between the people of our Jiangnan Shi clan and the court was so much different from two years ago, and now we have basically lost the initiative in things, think about it carefully, these are all your father step by step to the point where it is today! ”

Changsun Chong looked at Cui Gongzi's face and was a little stunned, he had just heard of this Cui Gongzi, although he had been to Jiangnan many times before, but he had never had the chance to meet, and he didn't expect this to be the case when he met suddenly.

Eldest Sun Chong looked at Cui Gongzi and said lightly: "So, what you did before was a warning, no, you are taking revenge on our eldest grandson family?" ”

Cui Gongzi looked at the eldest grandson Chong and waved his hand and said: "Naturally not, it's just because I can't get used to your practice of burying with a living person, if that person is wrong and killed with a knife, isn't this how Princess Changle's personal maid died?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Changsun Chong was also a little stunned, and looked at Cui Gongzi with surprise in his eyes and said, "How did you know about this?" ”

Cui Gongzi didn't answer him, but silently pushed the teacup on the table in front of Changsun Chong, and motioned for him to drink it before continuing to talk.

Changsun Chong looked at the teacup in front of him, and a sense of humiliation came from his heart, but in his opinion, this matter was just an introduction thrown by Cui Gongzi, and he must know more about himself.

Thinking of this, Changsun Chong silently picked up the teacup, drank all the humiliation in the cup, and then looked at Cui Gongzi and said, "You say, what do you want!" ”

Cui Gongzi saw that Changsun Chong was interested in not asking how he knew, and after smiling, he picked up the small tea set on the side and filled the teacup in front of Changsun Chong, this humble gesture seemed to show weakness to Changsun Chong.

But the eldest grandson Chong understood that this showed that Cui Gongzi was in control of today's meeting.

Cui Gongzi looked at Changsun Chong, and then said: "The operation of Changsun Gongzi in the Wa State is smooth, although there is no business with the Wa State in the south of the Yangtze River, but there is a sea connection, and we can take care of anything else." ”

As soon as these words came out, Changsun Chong was a little anxious, but he didn't mind that Cui Gongzi knew about it, but he just looked at Steward Li a little nervously, for fear that this person would leak his mouth.

Cui Gongzi saw that the eldest grandson Chong looked at Steward Li nervously and said with a smile: "The eldest grandson doesn't have to worry, my housekeeper knows everything, and his mouth is very strict, many things have to go through him, don't mind if he knows." ”

Eldest Sun Chong nodded and looked at Cui Gongzi and said, "What else do you know?" What is your purpose? ”

Cui Gongzi looked at the eldest grandson Chong and said proudly: "I want to know those deeds you have in the Wa Kingdom, do the eldest grandson Wuji know?" Or is this your family's plan or your own? ”

The eldest grandson Chong sighed and looked at Cui Gongzi and said, "My father doesn't know, and these things have nothing to do with him!" ”

Cui Gongzi nodded and looked at Changsun Chong and said, "In this way, then everything can be explained." ”

Changsun Chong didn't know what Cui Gongzi meant, but he still said, "What do you want to do?" Do you want to give my father and son a horse? My father has no way to go to the emperor, the court has gradually stabilized over the years, and there has been no trouble in the frontier for a short time, why do you let the emperor let you do the same as before? These things are not something my father can do! ”
