"Da Lang never came back?"

A clansman of Cui Xun's generation frowned and asked.

There was an old man with a white beard on the side sneered: "Da Lang is busy with the official affairs of the Xuance Mansion, and he has rarely returned to the workshop since he returned to Beijing, today is just a small birthday banquet, and it is normal for him to take care of it." ”

Cui Lang's scalp tingled when he heard this.

When it comes to yin and yang, there have always been many talents in his Cui clan.

Cui Xun, who was sitting under his father Cui Yi, heard these words, and his face became more and more ugly - not only could he not restrain his eldest son, but he even lost face at his birthday banquet because of this rebellious son!

Thinking of this, Cui Xun frowned and looked at the second son.

In the direction of the women's seat, Lu also glared at his son.

Cui Lang complained bitterly in his heart - the eldest brother couldn't come back, and he didn't care so much, but before that, his mother asked him to visit the eldest brother, and the eldest brother clearly promised in Dayun Temple that he would come back today.

So he asked his mother and father for credit...... No, it's conveyed!

But he let his words out, but at this time, he didn't see the figure of the eldest brother for a long time - if the eldest brother didn't appear today, he would know that he would be the first to suffer if he thought about it with his toes!

I'm afraid I'm going to be pressed on a bench and whipped with a stick!

Thinking of this, Cui Lang only felt a faint pain in his buttocks.

The head of the family, Cui Ju, had a solemn face, and never saw a different color, only glanced at the hour, and said calmly: "Let's all sit down." ”

His voice silenced them, and everyone responded with a "yes" and took their seats.

At this time, a servant entered the hall and saluted: "Master of the family, Da Langjun is back." ”

Cui bowed: "Let people in." ”

Cui Lang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly turned around to greet him: "Eldest brother is back!" ”

Great, his ass saved!

The people on both sides of the hall looked at the figure who walked in.

The young man wore a blue robe, a jade crown, and a sword, and on such an occasion, he seemed to have deliberately concealed the extremely cold and evil spirit, and because he was born with a very good appearance, at this time he showed a bit of the demeanor of the children of the scholar clan.

The more this is the case, the more the Yigan people feel unfair.

Who would have thought that under the good skin, all the pretense was deviant?

Da Lang has been extraordinary since he was a child, and his talent was revealed early, which was where the eyes of all the clansmen gathered, but he suddenly rebelled like an evil man, and did not listen to dissuasion, and still refused to turn back.

Who in the clan secretly does not say, if Da Lang is willing to enter the office according to the arrangement of the clan, his talent is not inferior to Wei Shilang, who is even in the middle of the three yuan, and there is Cui Shi as the backing in terms of family background, over time, there will be no second person in the court!

It can be biased, it can be biased......

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

If you don't use this talent, can you give it to other children in need!

Every time the people of the clan see Cui Jing, the feeling of anger and indisputability has the tendency to rush to the crown, and they don't have to eat or drink wine, and they are full of gas.

Cui Lang looked at the long brocade box held in Yuan Xiang's hand, and asked curiously: "This should be the birthday gift prepared by the eldest brother for his father, right?" ”

Cui Jing had already saluted, and nodded at this time: "Exactly." ”

"Give it to me!" Or because of the ass escaped, Cui Lang was very attentive at this time, took the brocade box from Yuanxiang's hand, and said expectantly: "Let me see what congratulatory gifts my brother has prepared for my father——"

As he spoke, with the help of his servants, he opened the brocade box and took out its contents.

The scroll was tied up with a ribbon, Cui Lang untied it, unfolded it, and saw that it was a landscape painting, full of green eyes, Cui Lang looked at it, and his eyes lit up: "It's actually a painting of Zhan Ziqian!" ”

"Zhan Ziqian's painting is hard to find, it is my father's love, no wonder the eldest brother prepared for his father's birthday early, it took such a thought!" Cui Lang sighed: "It seems that the birthday gift I prepared with Ah Tang is too perfunctory to take out, Ah Tang, you say yes?" ”

Cui Tang: "......"

He couldn't take it out by himself, after all, it was indeed perfunctory, but what did he do when he suddenly pulled her into the water?

But the atmosphere was in the mood, and she nodded.

Cui Ju had a faint smile on his face, and nodded approvingly: "Ling An is indeed interested." ”

Cui Xun's face gradually eased a lot.

Cui Lang had already come to his side with the painting: "Father, take a look!" ”

Cui Xun glanced at the second son, who was too out-of-the-box, with disapproval, but still took the painting honestly with both hands.

At first glance, there is a hint of pleasure in fashion——

"This is the rumored picture of Zhanzi's pious spring tour......," Cui Lang admired: "It really lives up to the precedent of opening a golden landscape." ”

On the scroll, the green mountains are stacked with greenery, the lake is rippling, the scholars are riding horses among the winding mountain paths, and in the center of the painting, it is the scene of the ladies boating on the spring outing——

Cui Xun's gaze was fixed on the lady swimming in the lake.

His fingers gripping the edge of the scroll strain harder.

After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Cui Jing standing in the hall fixedly, and said word by word: "This painting is not easy to find, it can be seen that you have indeed put a lot of thought into it." ”

Cui Lang was a little inexplicable when he heard it - how did he think his father's words didn't seem like a good thing?

It should be that my father is used to yin and yang, so he didn't catch it for a while, right?

After all, he really couldn't think of anything to find fault with the eldest brother's precious and heartfelt birthday gift.

Cui said: "Ling'an take a seat." ”

"Yes." Cui Jing stepped forward and sat down in the vacant seat.

Soon, a female envoy came in with a red lacquer tray in her hand and brought delicious food and wine.

The music sounded, and everyone raised their lamps.

After three rounds of drinking, or Cui Jing's painting rarely sent a little bit of filial consciousness, which made people barely feel a little relieved, and some clansmen talked about Cui Jing's matter during the banquet-

"Now is the time for many events, and everything in the clan needs to be taken care of...... Da Lang should also be a director of the Hui Middle School. ”

"That's right."

"Besides, Da Lang's family affairs must not be delayed any longer-"

Listening to these words, Cui Jing was noncommittal.

He didn't answer, he didn't refute, it was his father's birthday party, and even though he had edges and corners, he didn't have to show them all the time—that was what he did when he was young.

Nowadays, when he can't avoid it, he will only listen quietly.

But no one could change his perseverance.

Looking at the eldest grandson who had never made a sound, he was becoming more and more silent as a mountain, and the still water was deep, and he was calm and stubborn over the years, and a sigh appeared in Cui Ju's eyes.

After the birthday banquet was dispersed, Cui Ju called Cui Jing to the study alone.

Cui ordered someone to put the chessboard on the table, and the grandfather and grandson played quietly and silently.

At the end of the game, Cui Jing said: "My grandson lost." ”

"It looks like I'm getting old." Cui Ju looked at the trend on the chessboard and said with a smile: "I have to deliberately give in to you, a junior, in order to make my old man happy." ”

Cui Jing: "My grandson can't hide it from my grandfather, which shows that my grandfather is not old." ”

Cui Yi shook his head, and his tone was helpless: "If you can act like this game of chess, you can know how to retreat and compromise......

The rest of the words were not repeated.

Cui Jing lowered his eyes: "It was the grandson who disappointed my grandfather." ”

Cui Ju shook his head again.

The old man looked at the outstanding young man under the lamp, and said slowly: "There is blame, and if you don't fulfill your hopes, you will inevitably have a knot in your heart, but even so, grandfather has never been disappointed in you. ”

Cui Jing was slightly stunned for a while.

Cui Yi also said: "Since you have your own thoughts about the return of military power, your grandfather will no longer force you." ”

"Grandfather-" Cui Jing was a little surprised, but had a hunch: "Grandfather has a different plan now?" ”

"The situation has been decided, so there is no difference." Cui Ju looked out the window at the bright moon, and his tone was as calm as a big tree that had not moved in the light of a hurricane: "Pei's disaster, how can it be that they don't know how to be flexible and don't know how to make other plans?" The so-called tree has deep roots, and under the seemingly firm, there is also a last resort that is difficult to change - the dispute between the scholars and the saints is inevitable, only one loses, one wins, one survives and one dies. ”

He said: "After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the Cui family has seen how many emperors have changed their power...... In the past hundreds of years, the Cui family has stood for generations and has never lost. ”

He has the arrogance of the head of the scholar family, but his old eyes are always sober: "Because he has never lost and is used to winning, many people inevitably feel that there is no possibility of losing—your father is one of them." ”

"But hundreds of years of Xuanhe, said for a long time, seems to be standing, if you look at thousands of years, but it is just a drop in the ocean, a speck of dust......"

Cui Yi finally said: "Everything in the world has a time of prosperity and decline. ”

His tone was clear and calm, and he didn't sigh, but he sighed word by word.

Cui Jing, who had been listening quietly, said at this time: "Although there is a fixed number of prosperity and withering, even if there is a wildfire passing over the plain and being burned, if you can save the roots, you will have a time to come again in the spring of the next year." ”

Cui Ju looked at his grandson and bowed his head slowly.

"Then let's do it all over again, and let Grandpa see if you're improving......"

The lights and candles move lightly, the indoor light and shadow are flickering, the grandparents and grandchildren sit opposite each other, and the chessboard is black and white.

……

After Cui Jing came out of Cui Jing's study, he had just taken a few steps when a steward greeted him: "Lord Lang asks Lang Jun to move a step." ”

……

At the same moment, there were also a few female relatives of the clan who came over to talk after the banquet in the Lu family's room.

What a few people are talking about is Cui Jing's family business.

"My mother's niece has reached the age of marriage, and my eldest sister-in-law has also seen it......"

Seeing that the Lu family covered his mouth and yawned, very carelessly, one of the women said: "Da Lang only returned to Beijing after two years this time, and if there is another war, and I don't know how long I will be away from home, this family affair really can't be delayed any longer, and the eldest sister-in-law should also pay attention to it." ”

"What the third brother and sister said was as if I didn't want to care for Da Lang?"

Lu Shi, who was yawning just now, had red eyes, and smiled bitterly at himself: "Sure enough, it is not easy to be a stepmother with someone, and my mother will not deceive me...... But who made my life miserable, I was the only one in the clan who was not married at that time, although I thought that I was not as good as your brothers and sisters in the affairs of the clan, but I have done my best all these years, how can I still end up with a name that I don't care? ”

As he spoke, tears had fallen.

She is Cui Xun's wife, although she is a continuation, but she is also a serious sect wife, seeing her like this, the lady of Cui's third room was a little panicked: "It's all because I care about it, and I talk nonsense for a while, and I actually let the eldest sister-in-law misunderstand!" ”

"Yes, the eldest sister-in-law has worked hard for the clan all these years, and we are all ...... in our eyes"

Cui Tang, who was sitting in the inner room with his cheeks up, heard the reassuring sound coming from outside, and couldn't help sighing-isn't there anyone who cares about the eldest brother's family affairs now?

Seeing that Lu finally stopped his tears, two women who persuaded her to leave with dry mouths said goodbye.

Now only the wife of the second room of the Cui family is left.

Her path was different from the previous two: "...... Da Lang has never listened to persuasion, and he has managed too much, but he has become a wicked person, and the eldest sister-in-law is tossed by him. ”

Although she called Lu his eldest sister-in-law, she entered the door several years earlier than Lu's, and she was a little older than Lu's.

At this time, he persuaded implicitly: "Da Lang is not sensible, and he is not liked by the sect...... But the head of the family is old, and in the past two years, he has the heart to let the son inherit the position of the head of the family, and then a new son will be elected. ”

Lu Shi was stunned: "Can ...... If the position of the son of the sect is not passed on to Da Lang, then who else can it be given to? ”

Hearing her words as if she had no choice, the second lady was also stunned, and the sentence "Don't you have a son" almost blurted out.

She could only say more plainly: "According to the system in the clan, if the eldest man does not succeed, it is naturally the turn of the second son......"

Lu Shi was surprised: "How can this be? Da Lang is just a little stubborn, and his talent and talent are still recognized by the clansmen......"

The second lady lowered her voice: "But Zongzi doesn't like Dalang...... Only one unfilial piety is enough to crush people. ”

Lu Shi covered his mouth: "Brother and sister mean to let me provoke their father-son relationship?" ”

The second lady's expression trembled: "...... No such thing! ”

Lu Shi didn't know what he thought, his eyes widened again, and he muttered in horror: "Crush people...... Dead person...... My brother and sister can't be hinting that I'm going to do something to Da Lang, right? ”

The second lady couldn't sit still at all, and stood up suddenly: "What did the eldest sister-in-law say!" This has been passed out, so how can I live? ”

It's good to think about it yourself, how can you take it out and talk about it!

God, how did the Lu family raise such an unconventional fool!

Realizing that this road not only did not work, but also stuck her feet, the second lady couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly looked for an excuse and left in fear.

Cui Tang came out of the inner room at this time.

"Mother is going to send them all away?"

Lu Shi ate half a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and beckoned his daughter to press his shoulder.

"Your second uncle and aunt want to use me as a swordman...... If our long house loses your eldest brother, and only your second brother is left with a waste that has not been encountered in a hundred years, won't the benefits all belong to their second room? wants to sit and reap the benefits, her abacus is loud. ”

The corners of Cui Tang's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he was glad that his second brother was not there, otherwise he would have to sit on the ground and cry.

"Although your eldest brother looks unkind, he is not a bad one in his bones, no matter how your father makes trouble, as long as our mother and son are safe, no matter what happens in the future, your eldest brother will protect us." At the mention of this, Lu Shi was very relieved and sighed: "To give birth to such a son as your eldest brother, your father has not lived in vain in this life." ”

She has been thinking about it all these years, and most of her husband's usefulness was used up when she gave birth to her eldest son.

The corners of Cui Tang's mouth twitched again, fortunately, his father was not there, otherwise he would have to sit on the ground and cry.

……

At this time, Cui Xun was looking at the eldest son who walked in to salute.

There was no third person in the study, and his face was no longer calm at the birthday banquet, and only coldness was left at the moment.

When Cui Jing lowered his eyes and saluted, he saw the picture scroll that was thrown on the ground - nothing else, it was the birthday gift he offered on this trip, the picture of You Chun.

Cui Jing watched quietly for a moment and did not ask why.

He was accustomed to silence in front of his father, or rather, silence.

Seeing that he was silent, Cui Xun sneered and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you know it...... Sure enough, it was deliberate! ”

Cui Xun raised his hand and pointed to the painting that was thrown on the ground, and said where his anger was-

[Seeing the chapter name, Brother Lang sat on the ground and cried]
