The clerk in charge of Cui Jing's clerical affairs joined the army and replied, "Back to the Grand Governor, during your absence, there have been letters everywhere, and there are seven or eight letters from the south alone."

Seven or eight letters?

Cui Jing's feet were faster.

The chamber trotted to follow.

After entering the study, Cui Jing took off his cloak and sword, handed it over to his closer, and immediately went to read the letter.

The secretary of the army has quickly hugged the stack of letters.

There are sent from the south, and there are also sent from all over the capital, and the record office is very careful, according to the source of the letter and the time when the letter was sent, and put it on the book so that Cui Jing can see it at a glance when he checks it.

There are so many letters that they are arranged in rows and so divided that they occupy most of the book.

And Cui Jing only glanced at it, and saw Chang Suining's letter.

Her handwriting was easy to read, or rather, it was all too familiar to him—especially the handwriting on the envelope, which was almost identical to that of the Art of War that he had read over and over again over the years.

The young man stood by the book, and before he could sit down, he opened the letter.

Although he was out for half a month, he already knew the outcome of Hezhou and Li Yi's affairs, so he was already at ease, and the reason why he was confident at this time was all from his heart.

The first thing he saw was the lifelike chestnut drawn on the letterhead.

When Cui Jing saw the chestnut, a smile flashed between his eyebrows, and in an instant, the chill brought back from the outside seemed to have all dissipated.

The recorder mustered up the courage to take a sneak peek and felt very strange.

That's what it is...... Are there any benefits of Chinese New Year? Most of the governors had a festive New Year's flavor on their faces.

Cui Jing has read the letter from the beginning, word by word, without missing a single thing, and is extremely serious.

When he returned, it was the end of the Shen period, and the study was a little dim, and the notebook was lit up, and a red lantern was hung under the porch.

Cui Jing has read it to the end for the second time.

Yu Dao each work hard, thousands of miles from the same wind......

The light reflected the young man's deep and clear eyebrows and eyes with a rare warm color, and the corners of his mouth curved and curled.

His eyes were reading the letter, and it seemed that through this letter paper, he saw people and things that only he could see.

「…… Governor, ...... you" The voice of the recording room sounded, falling on Cui Jing's ears a little hazy and distant.

Cui Jing half came back to his senses and looked at him, "I'm reading the letter."

This wonderful answer made the recorder open his mouth and react for a moment before he said, "My subordinates know...... My subordinates want to remind the Governor that you must be tired when you return from the dust, so you might as well sit down and read it."

He had said it once, but the Metropolitan Governor hadn't heard it at all, and it seemed that the Metropolitan Governor was really tired.

Cui Jing said "um", and suddenly asked him, "Have you heard Zhou Xingji's poem "Sending Friends Back to the East"?"

The secretary was stunned and nodded: "I've heard ......."

So, is the Governor making small talk to him?

This conjecture flattered the bookkeeper and boldly continued the subject: "The Metropolitan likes this poem?"

Cui Jing lowered his eyes to read the letter and nodded with a smile.

If you like it, you like it.

He was going to write it down.

Thinking of this, Cui Jing looked around the study, as if thinking about the most suitable place to hang it, preferably when dealing with official business, it can be seen at a glance.

Sensing his good mood, the clerk smiled and said, "It seems that this letter is from a friend of the Grand Duke...... I think it's a very important friend!"

Cui Jing was noncommittal.

More than.

She is more than important to him.

Considering that there were other letters that needed to be taken care of in time, he put away Chang Suining's letter for the time being.

But it was not put aside, but put into the placket of the robe.

The book was more and more surprised, what kind of friend is this?

He wanted to find out, but it hadn't swelled to that point, and his superiors had changed to the demeanor they should have when dealing with official business.

Cui Jing and the secretary first handled some official letters, including letters from the Xuance Mansion in Beijing, and letters from the imperial court.

After finishing these dishes, Cui Jing opened Chang Kuo's letter.

Chang Kuo's characters are larger than ordinary people, and the content is very simple, so that he doesn't have to worry about Jiangnan, and he gives a simple New Year's greeting.

Then there was Yuan Xiang's letter, there were two of them, and when Cui Jing touched the thickness of the envelope, he hesitated slightly, but still opened it.

There was a lot of nonsense in the letter, and he could only pick out the people and things he wanted to see at a glance and ten lines.

Yuan Xiang detailed the process of acting with Wei Shuyi in the letter, and in the end, he whispered that when he had an argument with Changji, he had heard Changji inadvertently say that he had leaked his mouth, and actually said that Wei Shilang came to Jiangnan to recommend himself to the saint......

Writing here, the Yuanxiang font is getting smaller, as if the font also has a sound, quite a secret atmosphere, very sneaky.

He also wrote-"According to the secret observation of his subordinates, Wei Shilang treats the Chang family lady very attentively, and the three sentences are always inseparable from Chang Niangzi, combined with his self-recommendation, his subordinates have a bold guess, Wei Shilang or Chang Niangzi also has bad intentions."

Cui Jing looked at the crossed-out word "also": "......"

Yuan Xiang finally vowed that he would pay close attention to Wei Shilang and would never let the other party have a chance.

Writing here, the handwriting is divided into three points, and the determination can be seen, like a wolfdog with bared teeth and fried fur.

Cui Jing opened the second letter from the wolfdog.

The second letter was sent a few days late, and the letter mainly stated one thing - Wei Shilang had returned to Beijing, please rest assured!

This time, the handwriting was cheerful, like a wolfdog cocking its tail triumphantly.

In the end, Cui Jing opened the family letter.

grandfather's, several uncles in the clan, and the three of Lu's Cui Tang and Cui Lang.

The letters and replies of the latter trio are very weighty, compared to Yuan Xiang, there are similar works, but they are all better.

If he didn't have enough time to read the letter, he wouldn't dare open it casually.

This letter, perhaps because it was the last one a year ago, was written with more weight, judging from the handwriting on each piece of letterhead, all three of them participated, and about one wrote until his hands were exhausted, and then another person was replaced......

The order is arranged according to family status, for example, the first handwriting is Cui Lang's.

Cui Lang explained the recent situation in the family, the big and small things in the clan, and the affairs of the court, which were repeatedly mentioned with the word "master", how Dao Chang Suining is now famous in Beijing, known as the reincarnation of the star, and he is very proud of the words.

Reincarnate the star......

Cui Jing looked at these four words and smiled silently.

After reading all the letters, it was half an hour later.

And the letters sent along with the letters of the Lu mother and son were also sent in a box.

Cui Jing asked the box to be opened, only to see that it was full of new clothes and shoes neatly stacked.

Lu Shi said in the letter that because of the rush of time, she wanted to deliver it before the year, so she asked a tailor to handle it, and when there was enough time for the next year, she would make spring and summer robes for him, and said, "Mother's craftsmanship is ordinary, I hope Dalang will not dislike it."

After preparing hot water, Cui Jing took a bath, and then changed into a clean and well-fitting new robe and boots inside and out.

After changing clothes, I didn't forget to put the letter back in my arms.

At this time, a guard came to spread the word: "The banquet has been set, and the Qin capital will escort the governor to go."

This banquet is not only for Cui Jing to wash the dust, but also for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

The officials of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate were all there, as well as other military generals on the border, and when they saw the young man coming, they all stood up and saluted.

The young man wears a dark blue robe with a round neck and wide sleeves, a jade crown and bundled hair, dark and deep eyebrows and eyes, and is very handsome.

The people of the Northland are rough and open, and the female rolls in the Metropolitan Protectorate are also there, just eating at separate tables.

Several young

The girl watched the young man enter, got up and saluted, her eyes fixed on Cui Jing, and she couldn't take her eyes off.

After Cui Jing sat down, everyone sat down.

During the banquet, Cui Jing rarely spoke, he has always been silent, and most of the officials present have become accustomed to it.

"You guess, before Governor Cui left the table...... Can you make up ten sentences?" In the women's seat, several girls talked in whispers.

Qin Duhu also felt quite hanging, and he even felt that Governor Cui was not listening to their nonsense at all.

After three rounds of drinking, Cui Jing still didn't talk much, but those generals talked more and more casually because they ate wine.

Someone mentioned Hezhou: "...... I heard that the imperial court has issued an order to let the son of the Hezhou Assassin who died defending the city take over the position of his father's assassin! That kid seems to be sixteen or seventeen!"

"People are full of loyal martyrs, and the whole state has returned to their hearts because of this war, and the court's move is not only a compliment, but also a reassuring ......."

"It's okay to be young, it's important to have skills! I think when we first joined the army, we were also a baby!"

A gray-haired veteran of the border said, "Speaking of youth...... Have you heard about General Chang and his daughter? What is the name of that girl, Chang ......?"

"Chang Sui Ning."

It was Cui Jing, who had been silent, who answered.

「？」 Everyone looked at it and felt strange.

The veteran surnamed Lu smiled and asked, "Governor Cui also knows about this girl?"

Cui Jing nodded, "Yes."

"Of course Governor Cui knows!" A half-drunk middle-aged military general laughed: "Don't you know that this girl is the heart of Governor Cui......

As he spoke, he quickly shut up because he noticed Qin Duhu's eyes of "say everything, you don't want to die".

Qin Duhu broke out in a cold sweat on the corner of his forehead, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass to Cui Jing and smiled.

Not to mention that the rumors don't know whether they are true or not, even if they are true, the girl also rejected Cui Dadudu, isn't this a pot that doesn't open which pot?

In case you can't love, you hate because of love...... Right?

But when he saw that the young man did not see a different color, he smiled, "It's okay."

Qin Duhu: "!"

This is the first time he's seen this smiling child!

Anyway?

Then he understands!

It's the meaning of opening up!

It seems that although I can't love it, I don't hate it at all.

Qin Duhu smiled knowingly: "I heard that this girl is as brave as General Chang! I heard that the reason why Hezhou City was able to keep it was due to half of the credit of this Chang family girl, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

As soon as these words came out, Cui Jing, who was going to leave the table, sat firmly in place: "The rumors are true, they are all true."

The degree of seriousness it attaches to it even gives Qin Duhu a strong illusion - for example, if someone is about to become the ghost of Cui Dadu's sword, he just shouts in time "Wait, I've heard of Chang Niangzi", then this Dadu Governor will inevitably put away the knife, invite the other party to sit on the ground, and then let someone serve tea, and talk about Chang Niangzi well.

He can see that the word "Chang Niangzi" is just a title, and it is clearly the charm of the Governor of Zhukecui!

Qin Duhu sighed in his heart, and after getting along so far, he finally discovered the preferences of this Cui Dadudu...... In the future, it is expected to do what it likes!

Others also comprehended that the hall was very lively for a while on this topic.

Several girls of the Qin family looked at the young man's smiling eyebrows, and gradually changed from being surprised at the beginning to feeling helpless after finding out the situation.

There was a girl who coveted Cui Jing for some time and sighed.

She can see that Cui Dadu is really trapped.

Although there is no talk of liking every word, there is no word that crosses the line, but it seems that every word is liked.

And ordinary men like a girl, and when they mention it to outsiders, the code message conveyed between their words and demeanor is often "she is mine".

But Governor Cui is different, he seems to be saying, "She's not mine, but I am."

Hers" was engraved on her body, and it became a secret that everyone knew.

The girl looked at it unwillingly, but in the end, she was dead, forget it, she didn't have the courage to go to the earth for a long time like Cui Dadudu, and she still coveted it for another person.

This Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate has become extraordinarily long because of the three words "Chang Sui Ning".

Cui Jing can still sit quietly, but everyone is already talking dryly, and they can't praise it, they really can't praise it.

When the banquet was over, it was close to the time of handover.

Cui Jing returned to his residence, and he stepped forward, holding a long box: "The Grand Duke, it has been cast according to your instructions, please take a look."

Cui Jing opened the long box and took out the contents of it, the long sword was unsheathed in the young man's slender hand, and the sword light was snow-white.

"Seven points of similarity is enough." After Cui Jing finished speaking, he put the sword back into its sheath, put it in the sword box, and said, "Secretly send it back to the Xuance Mansion in Beijing, and act cautiously."

"Yes!" Approaching should be retreated.

Cui Jing stood under the porch, looking at the southern night.

After standing still for a long time, suddenly the sound of firecrackers sounded.

The sound of firecrackers is the New Year.

The young man was still looking at the south, and his voice was as soft as the wind: "The new festival has begun, auspicious and healthy...... Your Highness should be at peace with the mountains and rivers, with a view to meeting again in the coming days."

The sound of firecrackers continued, and the noise was lively, as if it could dispel all ominous incarnations, such as the ancient beasts, and then the successive wars.

The sound of firecrackers continued, transmitting, from the Anbei Protectorate, to the entire north, and from the north across the river to the east, through the eastern capital of Luoyang City, and then across the Huaishui, and to the south of the Yangtze River.

In the sound of firecrackers, Ah Dian covered his ears and ran to Chang Suining's side.

Chinese New Year's Eve is also celebrated in the barracks, surrounded by bonfires, and soldiers talk and laugh over wine.

But as Chang Kuo returned to the camp, in the midst of this conversation and laughter, with the strength of wine, some strange voices gradually appeared.

This strange voice stems from dissatisfaction, and this dissatisfaction is directed at Chang Suining.
