"Sister! How can there be ......" Xu Lan couldn't help but bow her head shyly when she saw Xu Xin's appearance.

But Xu Xin would not let her go, after some surprise, Xu Xin hurriedly stepped forward, took Xu Lan's hand, carefully looked at Xu Lan's face, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it: "Tut-tut, look at this little face, this temperament, it really deserves to be the first beauty in our Xu Wangfu!" I think it's the original Xi Shi, and it's not as good-looking as my sister. ”

When Xu Lan heard this, she became more and more ashamed and angry, and when she saw Xu Xin's teasing look, she hurriedly blocked Xu Xin's mouth with her hand: "Sister, shut up!" ”

At this moment, the whole room burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was extremely lively and happy.

Compared with the joy and serenity of King Xu's Mansion, King Cui's Mansion does have another tension.

"My son, tell me what is the atmosphere in the capital now?" I saw King Cui standing in front of a pear tree in the study with his hands in his hands, closing his eyes, and asked lightly.

Standing behind him was King Cui's eldest son, Cui He, who did not answer this question immediately when he heard his father ask this, but asked his father: "Father, you said that a puddle of water has been muddyed, what should my father do?" ”

When King Cui heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Since the water has been muddy, if the fish in it haven't run away, you might as well catch one of them." ”

When Cui He heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face and said: "This is the truth, today's capital is like that pool of muddy water, anyway, it has been mixed, and if you don't catch fish, you will be caught by others, I don't think my father has such adult beauty." ”

When King Cui heard this, he laughed, only to see him turn his head and say to Cui He: "You are so bold, how can you say this about your father, you are really put in the capital, making you more and more disrespectful." It's just that when King Cui said this, the expression on his face didn't look like he was reprimanding Cui He at all, but more of a faint appreciation.

Cui He couldn't understand his father's expression, and said with a smile at the moment: "The son doesn't dare, the son just says what the father wants to say, if the father is unhappy." I won't talk about that son. ”

When King Cui heard this, he opened his eyes again, glared at Cui He and said, "Okay, it's really for you to be guts, and you actually joke about your father." ”

After saying this, the father and son glared at each other, and they actually "fluttered" and laughed at the same time.

After laughing, Cui He said with a straight face: "But father, what you said naturally makes sense, so the water has been mixed, and it is necessary to catch a fish to taste what it tastes like, but how to catch the fish is very particular, otherwise if you are not careful, not only will the fish not be caught, but you will be pulled into this troubled water, and you don't know whether you live or die." ”

When King Cui heard this, he naturally said with a solemn face: "It's not necessary, you say more, I naturally know, but now the situation is often chaotic, all the kings of the opposite sex are gathered in the spirit, and each prince has its own ability and its own camp, which one we choose is also a big problem." ”

Cui He heard this but disagreed: "Father, what's so difficult about this? Even if we say that we are not good at choosing fish, then let the fish choose us automatically. ”

When King Cui heard this, he asked suspiciously, "My good son, what do you mean by this?" Let the fish choose us? ”

Cui He nodded and said: "Yes, now, although the princes have their own camps, but the prince's foundation is shallow, but a few kings with different surnames in the capital, it is worth wooing, if we form an alliance with any of the princes, then we will become the biggest advantage, and those princes will naturally rush to make friends with us, and then we will transform the disadvantages into advantages, just choose well, see which prince is more desirable." ”

When King Cui heard this, he pondered for a while and said: "That's right, what you said makes sense, we rushed to pick fish, but the fish, on the contrary, may not be as good as us, they are not as strong as ourselves, and those fish will come to the door." But depending on what you mean, which king of the opposite sex should we ally with? Do you already have an idea? ”

When Cui He heard this, he smiled incomprehensibly and said: "This is natural, there are only King Xu and the two princes of Chu at the moment, although the King of Chu said that he received holy grace in the capital, but the foundation of the King of Chu is too shallow, and you also know father, the King of Chu is really not a deep friend with him, after all, even a girl in his own family can't be taught well, let alone do anything big, it's just a little shit luck at the beginning." Speaking of this, Cui He finally had a trace of ridicule on his face, and he looked down on the king of Chu very much.

When King Cui heard this, he also nodded and said, "I think the same way, that King Chu just needs to be well-stammered, just don't offend." If you want to make a big deal with him, it will not be good. Then the only thing left is King Xu. ”

Cui He nodded when he heard this and said: "That's natural, although King Xu said that he had just arrived in the capital, but King Xu is on the frontier and has a heavy army, if one day it is time to wait, the army in King Xu's hands is also our biggest advantage." ”

After saying this, the two fox father and son looked up at each other and laughed in unison.

"But my good son, how can I make friends with King Xu? After all, King Xu has always been soft and hard, and before his son was assassinated, he didn't reveal at all that he wanted to meddle in the affairs of the capital, let alone Lichu, so that he could lose his head anytime and anywhere. ”

When King Cui said this, he eased up, took a sip of tea, and continued: "And even if his son was assassinated and he was involved in the affairs of the capital, but so far he has been in a neutral state, this King Xu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." ”

When Cui He heard this, he also nodded and said: "This is also true, although King Xu said that he was on the frontier and held a heavy army, but looking at his appearance, he was not that rude and reckless person, but he was fighting his own little Jiujiu in his heart, such a person, making friends with him, there are good and bad, if you say that you have a good relationship, it is naturally more than enough, but if you don't make a good friendship, it will attract resentment, but it will hurt the enemy by 800 and lose yourself by 1,000." ”

"But my son has another plan now," Speaking of this, Cui He seemed to think of something funny, and couldn't help but smile.

King Cui was very familiar with his son, and as soon as he saw his face, he knew that he was bubbling up again, and asked with a smile, "What good ideas do you have?" Might as well speak up and let your father hear it. ”

When Cui He heard King Cui say this, he put up a shelf and said: "It's not difficult for my father to listen to his son's idea, but I heard that a few days ago, an official gave my father a set of fine purple clay pot tea sets. But you said it's a coincidence, my son recently got a few good teas, but what about my son, and there are no good tea sets, how is this good, after all, good tea, naturally there must be good tea sets. ”

In the end, Cui He sold a pass, but instead looked at his father secretly out of the corner of his eye.

As soon as King Cui saw Cui He's appearance, he scolded with a smile: "You little rabbit cub, when did you start thinking about your father's things, that's it, then the purple clay pot will be given to you." ”

In the end, hearing King Cui so refreshing, Cui He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "I know that my father has always loved his son the most, as for this plan?" In fact, it is easy to say that King Xu himself has no flaws, but doesn't King Xu still have two daughters? It also happens that the son has also reached the age when he should get married, not to mention that I heard that the two daughters of King Xu are all beautiful and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and the Tao is a good thing. ”

When King Cui heard Cui He say this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize, but he still asked extraordinarily: "I actually said, son, you want to propose marriage to King Xu's mansion, but those two girls, do you have someone you like?" ”

Like someone? When Cui He heard King Cui ask like this, he was stunned for a moment, but then finally hurriedly said: "Where does my son think about what he likes or dislikes, these two girls, the eldest lady Xu Xin is the daughter of King Xu, maybe." Princess Xu and Prince Xu's biological daughter, and if we marry her, we can not only contact King Xu, but even Princess Xu's relatives, let's have a good relationship, second daughter Xu Lan? Cui He said this, paused for a few minutes for some reason, and then said: "The second daughter, Xu Lan, is just the daughter of a dancing girl in the Western Regions, and there is really no extra point in marrying her. ”

King Cui didn't notice the expression in his son's words, and when he heard him say this, he stroked his beard and said lightly: "You will leave this matter to you, no matter which girl you propose, it is up to you to decide, after all, it is your life's event, and I won't have much to do with you." ”

When Cui He heard this, he responded and said, "Good father." Leave this matter to Erchen, and there will be no mistakes. ”

King Cui nodded, and saw his son's jade tree in the wind, gentle and elegant, the more he didn't enter, the more satisfied he became, hey, it was really cheap King Xu's two girls, his son was so good, it was a blessing to marry anyone.

Cui He didn't know that his father had just been in his heart, hugging his son and touting it, Cui He didn't know why now, when he thought of going to Xu Wangfu to propose, even if he told himself in his heart that he wanted to marry the eldest lady Xu Xin, but in his heart he always remembered the girl under the moonlight at the Qianqiu banquet: Xu Lan.
