Cui Zhuo came to the old house of the An family, and after the doorman told him, Uncle Sun immediately greeted him.

Cui Zhuo, the eldest son of the Cui family, although he is not in the capital, his talent is also very respected, although he is not as amazing and glamorous as Gu Qigongzi, but it is not much worse. Hearing that he signed up for today's martial arts test, it was spread all over the outside, and for a while there was speculation about why the Cui family sent the eldest son of his grandson to the Nanyang Army.

Uncle Sun walked towards the mansion with people, while secretly looking at Cui Zhuo, and nodded straight in his heart, he was worthy of being the eldest son of the Cui family, with outstanding appearance, outstanding temperament, and deep heritage.

Uncle Sun invited people to the front hall, served tea, and talked with him, "The little lord will come later, and the eldest son will wait a while." ”

Cui Zhuo nodded, "After Sister An came to Beijing, she has always been good?" ”

Uncle Sun was stunned, thinking that the little county lord stayed in the Cui family for a month every year to be taught by Mrs. Cui, and the Cui family's children were not outside the box to call brothers and sisters, and immediately said, "This year, the little county lord came to Beijing twice, the first time during the period in Beijing, it was not very smooth, a lot of things happened, presumably the eldest son, you have also heard, this time you came to Beijing for the second time, except for some difficulties on the way to Beijing, everything went smoothly after coming to Beijing, and it is currently fine, and there is no chaos." ”

Cui Zhuo nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Sister An and Gu Qigongzi...... How do you get along? ”

When it comes to this, Uncle Sun said it the most, and he liked to say it the most, so he immediately opened the conversation box and said with a smile, "Lord Gu is good everywhere, not picky, our little county lord has such a temperament and temper, if others provoke her, she will definitely beat her, but for Lord Gu, she is extraordinarily tolerant, and the two of them get along very well, especially in recent days, the little county lord is unwell, and it all depends on Lord Gu to take care of him in the house." ”

Cui Zhuo's face darkened, pursed his lips, and said softly, "Really? ”

"Yes, the old slave doesn't tell nonsense." Uncle Sun said that he was happy, but he didn't pay attention to Cui Zhuo's face.

"Since Master Gu is good everywhere, why do you need Sister An's tolerance?" Cui Zhuo looked at him.

Uncle Sun immediately slapped his thigh, "It's the old slave who can't speak, it's the last time, the two of them somehow lost their temper, Lord Gu didn't come for a few days, the little county lord was also very angry, and went back to Nanyang directly, and then Lord Gu chased after him, the little county lord waited in Qingping Town, the two were considerate and tolerant of each other, and soon reconciled." ”

Cui Zhuo smiled, "It seems that Master Gu has a big temper." ”

Uncle Sun suddenly felt that something was not right, looked at Cui Zhuo, guessed what he meant, but only saw his smile, did not guess anything else, and was a little uncertain for a while, so he could only say, "Lord Gu likes our little county lord, it is real, it is good for our little county lord, and it is also real, the old slave is the stupidest, there are too many benefits, and I can't say that it is a mess, in short, it is very good, our little county lord also likes Lord Gu, children, occasionally there is some friction, it can enhance the relationship, and it is not a big deal." ”

Cui Zhuo nodded and smiled again, "Sister An is very good, Lord Gu is good to her, shouldn't it?" ”

"Yes." Uncle Sun scratched his head, "Lord Gu is also very good, our little county lord is good to him, and he has a better temper than others in the face of him, so it should be said." ”

Cui Zhuo smiled again and stopped talking.

Uncle Sun didn't know what to say for a while, and always felt that it was because he was unfamiliar with this eldest son for the first time, although he seemed to be very talkative, but he just felt that the frequency of their conversation was not at the same point.

After a cup of tea, An Huajin came to the front hall.

Uncle Sun immediately greeted him, "Little county lord, Cui Dagongzi is inside." ”

An Huajin nodded, glanced inside, hesitated in his heart, but still smiled and said hello to Cui Zhuo through the door, according to the name of the Cui family since childhood, "Brother Zhuo." ”

There are many children and grandchildren of the Cui family, and the ranking will be in their twenties, when An Huajin was sent to the Cui family, the first thing he saw was Cui Zhuo, this title was the first time I saw it, Mrs. Cui asked her to call it, so called, it has been called for many years.

As soon as she said this, Cui Zhuo's eyebrows and eyes were a little gentle, and she stood up with a smile, "Sister An." ”

An Huajin looked him up and down, this person seemed to be much thinner than when he saw him a year ago, the sky blue robe was worn on his body, like a bamboo pole, although handsome, but still too thin, he asked him, "Can you have lunch?" ”

Cui Zhuo shook his head honestly, "I only rushed to the capital this morning, and then I heard that I would take the school exam tomorrow, so I went back to my house and slept for a long time, and when I woke up, I heard that you invited me over, so I came over directly." ”

Anhua brocade bowed, "It just so happens that I haven't had lunch yet, so you eat with me." ”

Cui Zhuo smiled and nodded, "Listen to Sister An." ”

An Huajin instructed Uncle Sun to put the food in the front hall.

Uncle Sun answered, hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Little county lord, do you want to call the third princess, the county lord of Changning, and Gu Jiugongzi to accompany you?" ”

An Huajin's eyebrows moved slightly, "No need, you will eat with us in a while, I have something to ask privately, it is inconvenient for many people." ”

Uncle Sun breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, the old slave will accompany you two for a while." ”

With him, it can be regarded as avoiding suspicion.

After An Huajin finished explaining, he stepped into the threshold and asked Cui Zhuo, "Why did Brother Zhuo suddenly enter Beijing to participate in the martial arts test?" ”

Cui Zhuo knew that she was going to ask about this, and she didn't hide it, and said seriously, "I heard a few days ago that the courtiers of the major families in Beijing wanted His Majesty to let the descendants of the clan join the Nanyang Army, so I guessed that sooner or later there would be such a move, so I came to Beijing. ”

No wonder the Cui family arrived three days away from Beijing, it turned out that the news that the courtiers had already made a fuss came in advance.

Anhua Jin Zhengse said, "You know that's not what I mean? I want to ask, why did you want to join the Nanyang Army? You are the eldest grandson of the Cui family, and the grandfather and grandmother of the Cui family and the elders of the clan agree that you will join the Nanyang Army?"

"At first I didn't agree, then I agreed." Cui Zhuo said.

An Huajin was curious, "How did you convince them?" ”

It is not easy for the family to cultivate an heir, and she doesn't believe that the old man and the old lady of the Cui family will let go easily. In particular, Cui Zhuo is the most outstanding heir of the Cui family, who else is the Cui family?

Cui Zhuo said seriously, "I told them that although I am not as good as you in martial arts, and maybe not as good as a general in the army, I have also practiced in the cold and summer since I was a child, and I am familiar with military books. With my talents, I am small for a family and big for the country. The Cui family left me, and my fourth brother, he is not inferior to me, even if I leave the Cui family, he can fully support the lintel of the Cui family. But when I join the Nanyang Army, I can do my part to help you protect the Great Chu River. ”

An Huajin's heart was touched for a while, and he pursed his lips and fell silent.

She thought, what he said was simple, but things must not be so simple, I am afraid that there will also be his tough resistance, and the final compromise between the old man and the old lady of the Cui family and the elders of the clan.

Over the years, the An family has a close relationship with the Cui family, and the Cui family also understands the difficulties of the An family and the Nanyang Army, Cui Zhuo is even more sensible, eight years ago, when she entered the Cui family, she was lively, not bound by the rules of the boudoir, and when she was restrained and bored, she grabbed this brother who was three years older than her and asked him to take her out to play.

He is the grandson of the head of the Cui family, with a high status and heavy weight in his speech, he can't be reluctantly rejected by her, and he always responds to three times of begging. With him coming forward, the old lady of the Cui family loved her grandson and gave her eldest grandson face, so she could only let her go out to play for an hour or two.

Although she eats and lives in Cui's house and learns the rules every day, she still gets up early every day to practice martial arts, rain or shine, and never falls behind. At the beginning, when Cui Zhuo got up early to ask for peace, he saw her and asked her how hard it was to practice martial arts? What did she say then? I still don't have much impression, and I vaguely remember that she has a righteous face, saying that it is worth it to protect the family and defend the country, work hard, for the stability of the people, good martial arts, and the Nanqi and Nanliang who can fight. looked at his weak appearance again, and seemed to laugh a few words unceremoniously, saying that there are too many weak scholars like you, and you still want me to protect you in the future.

Later, on the second day, she heard that Cui Zhuo told the old man of the Cui family, and secretly invited a martial artist to teach him martial arts.

Counting it, he practiced martial arts and read military books because of her.

An Huajin was silent for too long, and remembered many things, the ones she ignored before, the ones she didn't care about, and the ones she didn't care about.

When he fell in love with her, she was ignorant and innocent, and when she knew, she already knew about the marriage contract with Gu Qingyan, and she had already met Gu Qingyan and fell in love with him at first sight.

If it was before, she might still think about it, if she didn't marry Gu Qingyan, but now, she knows that she is finished and planted to Gu Qingyan, so she can't give Cui Zhuo hope anymore.

However, just because he likes her, is she going to cut off his hard work to come to the capital and want to enter the Nanyang Army because of this?

She also hesitated for a moment and struggled, not knowing what was best for him.
