Chapter 349: Who Are You
Coming out of Zhang's house, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao were silent for a long time.
"You say, is what Zhang Zhongshu said true?" Cui Pu still couldn't help but ask.
Naturally, he asked about An Lushan. In recent years, An Lushan's reputation in the court has gradually risen, and he has heard people talk about it, but most of them praise him for being smart and sensible, like Zhang Jiuling today, he directly concluded that he would rebel, and told them to seize the opportunity to kill that person for the first time.
"Since Zhang Zhongshu can do the position of Shangzhongshu Ling, and he has also recommended countless talents to the saints, it is enough to prove that his eyesight is outstanding, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Mu Jiaojiao said quietly.
"That means he's telling the truth?" Cui Pu was immediately shocked, "Then what should I do? When I see that person in the future, will I grab the handle and kill him?"
"If you can, you can try. Mu Jiaojiao nodded.
Cui Pubian mouthed: "Aren't you worried that I will be killed by that guy instead? He is so shrewd, now that Zhang Zhongshu is no longer his opponent, how can I deal with him?"
"Don't worry, there is me!" Mu Jiaojiao only said, some of them were weak.
Cui Pu immediately raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong with you? I saw that you were depressed when you came out of Zhang's house, could it be that Zhang Zhongshu's illness is not easy to treat? But shouldn't you, haven't you already told him the cause and the solution?"
"Even if he can cure the disease temporarily, he won't live long. Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice, "Three years at most." β
"Three years?" Cui Pu whispered.
Mu Jiaojiao bowed: "It's been three years." β
"How come? I think he's in good spirits today......"
"Do you think that a person who has done his best for the country to this age is really possible to let go of everything and ignore the country's major affairs from now on?" asked Mu Jiaojiao.
Cui Pu was stunned. "Difficult. β
"It's even harder when it comes to him. Mu Jiaojiao said, "My current method can only let him get rid of the pain temporarily. However, in the future, as long as there is any major incident in the DPRK, his mood will inevitably fluctuate, and when the time comes, how can you relieve it? Although alcohol can temporarily paralyze people's will and make people forget their troubles, it is not a long-term solution. I let him go of eating and drinking today, in fact, I just want him to enjoy it in the last time. β
Cui Pu was stunned for a long time, and then he was unable to sigh: "Good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years!"
After a pause, he clenched his fists again and said: "In this case, the one named An Lushan, I must destroy him with my own hands!"
"Don't mess around!" Mu Jiaojiao heard this and hurriedly persuaded.
Cui Pu tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Now that I'm a civil official, and he's a military attachΓ©, the place where the two of them are guarded is far away, and God knows if I can run into him?" And even if he does, he won't necessarily do it again!"
Mu Jiaojiao just sighed and said no more.
Back at home, the two brothers naturally had to go to Cui Ge Lao to report. Cui Pu said all the words of Mu Jiaojiao. Cui Ge Lao sighed: "This naturalist, I really think too much. He is this character, and he can't change it in this life. If he really dies, then he will do his best for the country, and we will not forget him. β
"Then Daddy, that An Lushan ......"
"When that Hu man came to Chang'an to visit around, he also posted to me. But because the naturalist had already met him and rejected him, I didn't see him at all. Now that I think about it, I really should have seen this person with a different face, and I can't even know people with the ability of naturalists, but I really missed a great opportunity!" Cui Ge sighed.
Cui Pu became more and more surprised. "Daddy, do you also approve of us killing him at every opportunity?"
"If this is the wish of the naturalist, then you can do it, of course, only if you take care of yourself. Cui Ge said.
Cui Pu's heart was immediately heavy, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like.
Three days later, Zhang Dalangjun personally sent Xie Yi over. After Zhang Jiuling ate and drank the sea for a few days, his body was really much happier.
"By the way, my father asked me to come back and ask my younger siblings for a few jars of wine. He said that he had drunk wine all his life, and only the jars you sent him were the most to his taste. He was afraid that he would not be able to drink in the future, so he was going to take a few jars to Jingzhou. Zhang Dalangjun said with an embarrassed face.
Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "It's my luck to be liked by Shibo." Now we do have a few jars here, you can take them all back! In the future, Shibo will not have to worry when he goes to Jingzhou, I will give him a set of tools, and then a recipe for winemaking, and he will make wine by himself if he has nothing to do, which can not only satisfy his hunger, but also relieve his boredom. β
"That's the best thing! Since that's the case, then I'll thank my younger siblings on behalf of my father!" Zhang Dalangjun was sincerely grateful to her.
After Mu Jiaojiao went that day, he talked to Zhang Jiuling, and after they left, Zhang Jiuling's mood was obviously much better, and he said to him: "Did you see it? Cui Er gave birth to two good sons! If you brothers can have two like them, then I will be blind to death!"
Then, he called all the grandsons from three to ten years old in the family to him, and evaluated them one by one, from appearance to intelligence, so that the fathers and aunts of several little dolls were scared half to death. Mrs. Zhang was also taken aback and hurriedly came to ask about the situation.
As a result, he actually wanted to pick out the best from his grandson to match the little lady of Cui Pu's family, and everyone immediately cried and laughed.
"Which of our children has not been well-read and well-behaved since childhood? These children, pick one out at random, just say that they want to get married, and no one will not do it! As a result, you are good, you are still taller among the tall, then you have never seen the eldest lady in Cui Liulangjun's family, so you know that she is really so good?"
"Although I have never met the eldest lady, I have seen her father and mother with my own eyes, and we have been drinking and chatting together for an afternoon! This afternoon is enough for me to understand the conduct of their husband and wife. As long as it is the children they raised, it will definitely not be bad!" Zhang Jiuling insisted.
"Then we don't necessarily have to marry the little lady of their family! Don't they also have a little Langjun? Let's choose a beautiful and virtuous little lady to marry. β
"Of course not!" Zhang Jiuling immediately said, "Marrying a daughter-in-law is to marry the eldest lady of their family to our family, that is, to bring the good skills of those two people to our family! What's the use of this just consolidating the relationship between the two families? I want people, not relationships!"
Mrs. Zhang wanted to say something, but Zhang Jiuling said: "Don't you see, what kind of person Cui Liu was at the beginning, and what has become of him now after marrying that lady? If he is allowed to marry a girl with the right family with the fifth surname, do you think he will have today's achievements?"
Mrs. Zhang paused, then no longer refuted him, but chose her grandson with him.
Zhang Dalangjun and a group of people couldn't cry or laugh when they saw this.
However, the father was no longer entangled in the affairs of the court, and did not lock himself in the study all day to read and write, but began to play with his grandson and test their knowledge, and his mood was obviously much more cheerful. They didn't say much.
In the past three days, my father's mental condition has indeed improved markedly, which is gratifying to the death of a group of their children! So now, he did not let the steward come forward, but personally came to the door to thank him.
But Mu Jiaojiao immediately gave him another generous gift. Although it seems to be just a few jars of wine and a set of tools for winemaking, these things are undoubtedly the best tools for his father to spend time in distant Jingzhou. If doing this can allow him to take a little bit of a distraction from state affairs, they will be happy to see it as their children - knowing their father and son. Although Zhang Jiuling is now in good health, Zhang Dalangjun is not too optimistic about it.
Ordering someone to bring the wine jar and wine-making tools together, Mu Jiaojiao said: "By the way, I haven't had time to ask for the consultation fee last time I saw Shibo! Now that you are here, Brother Shi, should you pay the consultation fee?"
Zhang Dalangjun was stunned again. "Brother and sister, what do you want me to pay?"
"It's very simple, let Shibo stop beating my eldest lady's idea. Her family affair is nervous and his father will not let go for at least ten years. β
Zhang Dalangjun snorted and almost broke the gong.
"Okay, I got it. But now my father only has so much fun besides drinking. You don't see it, anyway, I'll just let him toss around at home. β
Mu Jiaojiao nodded and reluctantly agreed.
A few days later, Zhang Jiuling packed up and went to Jingzhou, but he hadn't been at home for many years.
Then, Peng Zhang's side finally came to the letter and agreed to drink a cup of thank you wine from Cui Pu a year ago.
Cui Pu held a banquet in the Peony Building, picked up the most expensive things and called a table, and he could eat whatever he wanted.
But as soon as Peng Zhang entered the door, he only saw Cui Pu alone, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
Seeing this, Cui Pu's already not very good mood was even worse.
"Who else do you want to see Dr. Peng?" he asked coldly.
"Didn't Mrs. Zun come with you?" Peng Zhang didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
Cui Pu secretly gritted his teeth: "This time I thanked you, I ordered the post, and I also ordered the drink, what does it have to do with her?
"Of course she doesn't owe me anything, I owe her. I owe her so much, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off in my life. Peng Zhang hurriedly said, "By the way, do you know what I owe her?"
"It's between you, why should I know? Just like today it's just about you and me, and I don't need her to do it. Cui Pucai was not instigated by him, and said coldly.
Peng Chang smiled. "You're right. Even if you are a husband and wife, you have to keep some distance and keep some little secrets of your own. We were just too stupid to take this into account, that's why we ...... Oh, I'm sorry, it's all in the past, I shouldn't mention it anymore. β
"Since you know you shouldn't mention it, don't mention it, hurry up and sit down and eat three drinks of my bar!" Cui Pu said through gritted teeth.
When Peng Zhang heard this, he smiled lightly and raised his feet briskly: "Okay." β
At this meal, the two men were destined to eat sparks and murderous energy.
The table was full of good dishes, and they hardly moved a few chopsticks, but asked for one jar after another for wine. In the end, both men were carried back with a smell of alcohol.
When he saw Cui Pu, who was as drunk as a dead pig, Mu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes weakly.
Hurriedly ordered Mung Bean to bring a bowl of decanting soup, and was about to pinch open his mouth and pour it into him. Cui Pu suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed her wrist and brought her forward, and then turned over and pressed her under him.
His eyes widened, his gaze staring at her.
"Who are you?" he asked suddenly.
