Chapter 247: Are you afraid of the mace?
As a child of a family with an official position, culture and education, Cui Sheng decided not to meet this future brother-in-law.
And Li Qinzai, to be honest, his upbringing is not bad, but he can't be polite in a specific atmosphere and state.
This particular atmosphere and state is about the state of Cui Sheng and him at this moment, the two of them look at each other across the courtyard, their eyes are provocative, and the smell of gunpowder is strong.
This specific atmosphere is like lighting up some kind of passive attack skill, which makes Lee Qinjae really unable to treat him politely.
For example, if you meet a dog on the road, and the dog stands still and looks at each other, guess what happens next?
It is not certain whether a person will bite a dog, but a dog will definitely bark with bared teeth.
Lee Chin-jae and Choi Seung are currently in this state.
Choi Seung is not necessarily a human, but Lee Chin-jae is a real dog.
After ignoring Li Qinjae's provocation, the tense atmosphere finally eased.
Li Qinzai did not welcome him into the front hall, but ordered his subordinates to put a recliner in the courtyard, Cui Sheng hesitated, then sat down on the recliner, because he was not used to this kind of new furniture, the moment he sat down, Cui Sheng's body unconsciously leaned back, and his hands and feet were very embarrassed.
Li Qinzai immediately sent a gloating look to show revenge.
"Nothing to do...... Well, no, if you don't have anything to do, what are you doing here? Li Qinzai said lazily.
Cui Sheng said coldly: "By Your Majesty's order, I order that the 100 people of the Jinwuwei Forbidden Army will still be stationed in Ganjingzhuang to protect you until the 100 Cavalry Division captures the people behind the scenes." ”
"You're here to deliver the message?"
Cui Sheng snorted and said, "I'm here to visit my sister." ”
"Your sister doesn't live here, you went to the wrong door...... Li Qinzai muttered and sighed: "Zhongshu Sheren, even the door is wrong, I really doubt how to become this official......
"Your Majesty's living records and palace historical materials shouldn't be scribbled, right? …… It should be suggested that Your Majesty set up a supervision mechanism, and if you dare to make random arrangements in the living record, you will be pulled out and killed. ”
"When the monarch and the minister play the right thing, the sheren dares to write bad things about the courtiers, and they also pull them out to kill their heads."
Cui Sheng's face became darker and darker, and he said coldly: "That group of assassins is really not angry, even if they can't kill you, they should cut off your tongue." ”
After the eldest brother and brother-in-law exchanged words, neither of them was interested in chatting, and the atmosphere fell into a freeze for a while.
On a flat footing, there is actually no grudge between the two, at most they just don't like each other.
Cui Sheng was an official in Chang'an, and he had heard of many unbearable bad deeds in Li Qinzai's past, and Li Qinzai also hated Cui Sheng's hypocrisy of pretending to be cold.
As a result, mutual dislikefulness gradually turned into mutual dislike.
There are people who are as old as ever, and there are white-headed people who are as new as new, and some people are naturally incompatible and have no reason to oppose each other.
In the embarrassing silence, Li Qinzai's mood gradually became worried.
Because he suddenly remembered something.
There are many customs and etiquette for men and women to marry in the Tang Dynasty, and in addition to the normal six rites, there are also some unwritten rules.
For example, when welcoming a bride, the groom and the bridegroom must be baptized in the body and soul of the mother's family, that is, the bride's family wraps the stick in silk and gently beats the bridegroom and the bridegroom.
This is probably a gentle warning from the bridegroom's family, warning the groom to be kind to the bride, and that there are people and clubs in the mother's family......
And Li Qinzai and Cui Jie's wedding date is getting closer and closer, if he is too unkind to this uncle, it is difficult to say what will happen on the day he and Cui Jie get married.
Maybe Cui Sheng will directly replace the silk-wrapped stick with a mace, Li Qinzai fell in a pool of blood before entering the door of his mother's house, and the happy event directly turned into a funeral, Cui Jie was widowed without passing the door, and happily went to the government to receive a barrel of oil and a bag of rice......
So Li Qinzai began to reflect, at least before the marriage ceremony, he should still be friendly to his eldest brother.
Cui Jie must not be given the opportunity to take advantage of the country.
"Ahh Cui She people, come and come, sit in the hall, come to people, pass the feast! Li Qinjae suddenly became enthusiastic.
Cui Sheng was taken aback by Li Qinzai's sudden change in attitude, staring at his face in disbelief, with a wary expression: "What do you want to do?" ”
"There are guests from Chang'an, although they are far away, they will ...... Well, it's a pleasure. What's more, my future eldest brother, naturally he has to treat each other politely, and he is full of wine and meat. Li Qinzai said sincerely.
Cui Sheng flatly refused: "No need, I'll leave." ”
You don't have poison in your food, I have your surname!
"Can't go! When I came to my brother-in-law's house and didn't eat a single meal, did I look down on me? Li Qinzai feigned displeasure.
Cui Sheng thought for a while and said seriously: "Yes, I look down on you." ”
Li Qinzai: "............"
What the hell, my temper!
If you weren't afraid of the mace, I would teach Cui Jie to become an only child today!
"Uncle is full of vicissitudes of life, his skin is rough, the Li family's specialty anti-aging cream, you have to prepare a few bottles of ......" Li Qinzai continued to be enthusiastic.
Cui Sheng said coldly: "No need, you and your sister-in-law have not yet married, there are still many variables, uncle or something, don't call it indiscriminately." ”
Li Qinzai, who has been a gentleman for many years, was angry once or twice, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.
On the day Lao Tzu got married, he wore heavy armor, and borrowed the Jinwuwei forbidden army from Li Zhi to greet him.
"Come on, drive this evil beast out of the mess!"
Yes, Li Qinzai turned his face, faster than turning a book.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the gate, and then Cui Jie's pretty figure appeared in the courtyard.
"When did my brother come to Zhuangzi?" Cui Jie was pleasantly surprised.
Cui Sheng and Li Qinzai's cold faces instantly froze.
Looking at his beloved sister, Cui Sheng said with a soft expression: "I just came, and I plan to see you after passing the message to Uncle Li." ”
Cui Jie saw that the expressions of the two were unnatural, and said suspiciously: "You ...... Didn't make a noise, did you? ”
Li Qinzai's hand quickly put on Cui Sheng's shoulder, and said angrily: "What nonsense, my eldest brother and I are a family that loves each other, how can we quarrel." ”
Cui Sheng's shoulders shook, and the Bull Demon King shook Li Qinzai's hand like a cow lice, and brushed his shoulders with disgust.
Cui Jie covered her mouth and smiled, and said shyly: "What kind of blind date and love family, but you haven't married yet......"
Cui Sheng said coldly: "You two will talk about it later, Jie'er come over and tell you about confidential matters for my brother." ”
Cui Jie glanced at him strangely, but stepped forward obediently.
The brother and sister walked out of the gate of the courtyard, Cui Sheng found a remote corner where no one was around, looked around, and said slowly: "A few days ago, Li Qinzai was assassinated, did he hurt you?" ”
Cui Jie shook her head: "He protected me very well, and the Li family kept watch around my house day and night." ”
Cui Sheng snorted coldly: "My Cui family has no shortage of people to protect you, go back and ask my father to send a general to protect you." ”
Cui Jie smiled sweetly: "No need, I heard...... The two elders have already calculated the date, and he and I are about to get married. ”
Cui Sheng was noncommittal, without any expression of blessing on his face.
"I have to tell you something."
"Brother, please speak."
Cui Sheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I received a letter from Qingzhou the day before yesterday, just half a month before Li Qinzai was assassinated, there was a slave of the Wang family who had married over at home and secretly went out on an errand on the order of the master's mother. ”
"The servants of the Wang family were very mysterious when they went out, and they didn't know what to do, but our housekeeper tried to ask, but they didn't say it, which is very unusual."
Cui Jie was taken aback: "Does this have anything to do with Li Qinzai's stabbing?" ”
Cui Sheng said coldly: "It doesn't have to be related, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's also a clue." It is said that the Hundred Horsemen have not yet found the source of another group of Assassins......"
"It just so happens that our father's new wife behaves mysteriously, and Li Qinzai once broke the hands and feet of the Wang family's servants and formed a grudge against the new lady, I really have to wonder if these two things are related."
Cui Jie's face instantly became ugly, her pretty and fair face gradually covered with a layer of iron blue, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
Cui Sheng couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw his sister being so angry.
Since she was a child, her sister has always been gentle and lovely, and she has never been so angry.
That gentleman is in her heart, and I'm afraid it's not light.
After a long time, Cui Jie suppressed her anger and said softly: "Brother, you can know that this time the assassin almost succeeded, and the killing move was fortunately discovered by a maid and saved his life in a dangerous way. ”
Cui Sheng said lightly: "I've heard of it." ”
"If my future husband dies, the murderer is still my nominal stepmother, brother, how should I deal with myself?"
Cui Sheng was silent for a moment and said, "This matter is just a clue, not necessarily correct, you don't have to make up your mind so quickly." ”
Cui Jie's face turned slightly pale, and she nodded: "I will tell him about this matter, and I will talk about it after I find it out." ”
Immediately, Cui Jie was curious: "Such an important clue, why didn't my brother tell him in person just now?" ”
Cui Sheng almost subconsciously showed a look of disgust, and blurted out: "Phew! ”
Cui Jie looked at him in astonishment.
Cui Sheng suddenly felt out of shape, stroked his lips in embarrassment, and said, "There is sand in your mouth......"
