Chapter 371: Hongmen Banquet

Because Xiao Rui came with a guard of honor in an upright manner, Qinghe Cui's greeting was of a very high standard, and he ordered someone to go out of the city to greet him, and the head of the family was waiting at the door, and Xiao Rui was invited in the wide open door.

In the living room, the guests and hosts of the two sides were seated. Xiao Rui took a look, hehe, good guy, there are so many people from the Cui family? This is a bit of an identity, and everyone is in attendance.

Standing behind Xiao Rui, Li Chengqian, who was dressed as a student, whispered: "Brother-in-law, it seems that they attach great importance to you, so many people have received you." ”

Xiao Rui said calmly: "Boy, see clearly, a large number of people may not be a good intention, but more likely a Hongmen banquet." This is to overwhelm people. ”

Sure enough, after the introduction of Cui Shouzhen, the head of the family, he said politely: "I have admired the name of the Hou Ye for a long time, you can deign to come to my Qinghe Cui family, and the cold house is full of glory." I don't know what advice Hou Ye has? ”

So straightforward? Are you in a hurry than me?

Xiao Rui glanced around, and probably understood their plan.

So he beckoned and motioned for Li Chengqian to come forward.

"Master Cui, do you still recognize this kid?"

Well?

"W-That's not ...... How many days did you spend a few days at my house? When he was at the gate, Cui Shouzhen recognized him at a glance, but the other party did not indicate the identity of the prince, so he couldn't break it.

Li Chengqian saluted Cui Shouzhen, "I've seen the head of the Cui family." When I was studying, I was incognito and in the wilderness, but I was fortunate to be rescued and taken in by the Cui family, and I have always been grateful. I can finally come to thank you today, junior Li Chengqian, I have seen you. ”

Well?

Many people stood up directly, Li Chengqian? Prince Li Chengqian? Who is he?

"I'll see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The Cui family knows the number of rites.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "Everyone, this child is here as my student today, there is no His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone has the right to be a child junior, no need to be polite." ”

So the crowd sat down again.

Cui Shouzhen said a little apologetically: "It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in person, I didn't know the identity of the prince at the beginning, and I was very negligent, and I hope to forgive me for the rudeness." ”

Xiao Rui said: "The head of the family is polite. Ben Hou is here today, Qinghe Cui's scholarly family, family history, inheritance for a long time, Xiao Rui also loves to read, so I have long wanted to visit and study, but I am entangled in mundane affairs, and I have a chance this year. ”

"As for Cheng Qian, this child, he always mentioned to me that when he was in the Cui family, he missed the kindness of the Cui family in his heart, and he must come to thank him in person."

Cui Shouzhen waved his hand and said: "Help the needy, the Cui family has always been like this, Your Highness doesn't have to mind." ”

Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Rui, his eyes were a little anxious, meaning that you are talking about business.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Master Cui, Cheng Qian has been in the Cui family for a while, and now he is revisiting his old place, I want to meet my friends and partners at the beginning, and thank them for their help before, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"Yes, yes, I want to thank Sister Ning'er in person." Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.

Xiao Ruixin said bad things, why are you so angry?

Of course, Cui Shouzhen knew their intentions, and smiled calmly at this time, "I see, convenience is naturally convenient, but unfortunately, the little girl Ning'er went to her mother and was not at home." So I'm afraid I won't see it. ”

"It's okay, it's good to meet the old friends who ate and lived together." Xiao Rui was afraid that Li Chengqian would be a moth again, so he hurriedly answered.

Cui Shouzhen couldn't, so he could only speak: "Come on, take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the kitchen for a walk." ”

Hearing that Cui Ning'er was not there, Li Chengqian was suddenly a little disappointed, and followed the housekeeper of Cui Mansion to the kitchen.

Xiao Rui advised: "Cheng Qian, don't worry about your identity when you go, you should still be the little plum you were at the beginning, get along with your friends and chat more." ”

The implication is to let Li Chengqian have a good chat with his friends and listen to the news. I don't know if Li Chengqian, who has lost his soul, understands it.

"Got it, brother-in-law."

In the living room, Xiao Rui was calmly sipping tea, and everyone in the Cui family was staring at him, saying that this kid was really calm, didn't he mean it?

It is not easy for Cui Shouzhen to gather such a big battle, if Xiao Rui avoids talking about it today, it will not be easy to form this game in the future.

So after hesitating for a moment, Cui Shouzhen could only take the initiative to speak, "Master Hou, I'm afraid that your trip is not just to come to Cui's house to exchange knowledge, right?" ”

Xiao Rui paused for a moment and asked puzzledly, "Why did the Cui family master say this?" ”

Well?

Cui Shouzhen wanted to scold his mother, but secretly said that Xiao Rui must have guessed something, but he was really a difficult boy. If you don't get down to business, I won't be able to make trouble today. But if I get to the point first at this moment, I will lose the upper hand and miss the opportunity...... It's tricky.

Seeing his brother's predicament, Cui Shouzhen's younger brother Cui Shouli spoke, "Master Hou, there are many people in my Cui family who are officials in Chang'an, and the affairs of the court and the rumors of Chang'an can be heard. Is there such a thing? ”

Burst......

Xiao Rui pretended to be choked, "Ahem, which rumor is this?" Ben Hou brought his students to exchange knowledge, and he was passed on like this by people who did good things? Isn't this slandering the innocence of Miss Cui's family? Never, never! ”

Cui Shouzhen nodded and arched his hand and said, "Oh...... It's good that there is no such thing. Then I can rest assured, the little girl has also reached the age of marriage, and she has just set a marriage contract for her. This kind of rumor came out, and everyone's face was not good-looking. ”

Well?

Have a marriage contract?

Xiao Rui scolded secretly in his heart, old fox, you will bluff me, when you came, you found it clearly, your daughter has not yet allowed to kiss. It's not enough to hide my daughter now, and you want to make up a marriage contract to prevent me from talking?

"Oh? I have heard that Miss Cui's family has the reputation of being a little girl, I don't know whose kid has this blessing? ”

Cui Shouzhen was asked, Xiao Rui saw it clearly, and secretly proud, the appearance of a lie must be made up countless lies to complete, see how long you make it up?

Five surnames and seven hopes are married, this is a rule that everyone knows. But it's not like you can marry anyone casually, five surnames and seven wangs: Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Zhaojun Li, Longxi Li, Taiyuan Wang, Xingyang Zheng, Fanyang Lu. Among them, the same surname cannot be married, so there are only five families that the Cui family can choose.

Now you Cui Shouzhen need to make up an in-law family to come out, which one will you choose?

Cui Shouzhen also weighed in his heart, the Li family in Longxi is inextricably linked with the current royal family, and he can't be chosen; The Xingyang Zheng family and the Fan Yang Lu family have just publicly formed a feud with the champion Hou, and they can't be chosen, and if they are chosen, they will be debunked on the spot and be hostile to Xiao Rui; Then the Li clan of Zhaojun and the Wang clan of Taiyuan are left. Among them, the Li family of Zhaojun is the inheritance of military generals, and the ancestor is Li Mu, the god of war during the Warring States Period. The Cui family is a literati inheritance......

Thinking about it, it can only be the most suitable Taiyuan Wang. Let's make up a person for now, it's not true anyway.

Cui Shouzhen said with a fake smile: "It's not a well-known person, it's a son of the Taiyuan Wang family, the son of a good old friend of mine, Master Hou may not have heard of it." ”

"Oh...... I see, congratulations to the head of the Cui family. ”

"It's rare that the Cui family is full of virtuous people today, so many seniors are present, let's talk about the theme and talk about literature?"

Forehead...... Cui Shouzhen was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Rui with puzzled eyes, and said in his heart, shouldn't you be difficult? Just shook it off? You know, if you answer my statement today, there will be no reason to interfere in the little girl's marriage in the future.

can see the sincerity on Xiao Rui's face, he can only accompany the performance.

Okay, whether it's to subdue you with your family or prevaricate you with reasons, you have finally been exposed to this matter. As long as you don't mention this matter, then talk about literature or something, whatever you want, even if you live in the Cui family for a long time.

Cui Shou really dared to think so, even Emperor Li Er didn't dare to be so big-hearted, you must know that where there is Xiao Rui, where there is wind and rain, you still dare to let this evil star stay at home? Then is there still peace in your Cui family?

That night, when he went back to sleep in the guest room, Li Chengqian slept with Xiao Rui, and when he heard today's events, Li Chengqian was stupid and said aggrievedly: "Brother-in-law, how can you be like this?" Sister Ning'er has been allowed, why don't you speak? No, I'm going to go to the Cui family master to explain! ”

Xiao Rui grabbed it, "Stupid, you believe everything people say, is it so easy to deceive?" Stay honest with me, can I not help you? ”

Yes? Brother-in-law, you mean he's lying to us?
