Chapter 402: Getting Smarter and Smarter
Cao Shu and Qiu Shan are not young. Now that the relationship between the two people has been decided, the elders on both sides have not honestly followed the established process for a year or two, but quickly finished the set of hiring Nacai, but in a few months, the marriage was lively.
This is the second family affair that Mu Jiaojiao matched after Mu Jiaojiao.
After all, Chang'an is too far away, and Dr. Qiu's family are all free and easy people, so everyone unanimously decided to place the wedding in Yangzhou City.
The wedding was jointly organized by the Qiu family and Mu Jiaojiao Cui Pu.
The day of marriage is on the third day of the third month of March. On this day, the prefect's mansion held a family affair, not to mention the entire Yangzhou City, and even the lower county sent people to send generous gifts to celebrate. Although few of the county magistrates showed up, most of them also sent the big housekeepers around them to watch the ceremony. This courtesy gave the Qiu family enough face, and also made the Qiu family satisfied with Cao Shu, the new daughter-in-law.
But there is an exception - on the side of Hailing County, it was Chen Junbi who took the initiative to appear.
In his words: "The prefect holds a happy event, how can the lower officials not come to join in the fun? Besides, Cao Niangzi is the person valued by the prefect's wife, and that is also the person you value in the prefect's house." Since the prefect and your husband like them so much, then the lower officials should hurry up and deal with them well. ”
That greasy smile is really disgusting.
When Cui Pu heard this, he just rolled his eyes lightly, and said: "Since Chen Zhixian is here, let's go and have a drink of joy! ”
How do you listen to this, it is somewhat meaningful.
When Chen Junbi heard this, his heart shrank slightly-could it be, he had already guessed?
Now, they have firmly grasped the witness in the palm of their hand, and the joint in the middle has already been opened. Now there is a pit in front of me, and the surname Cui has to jump if you don't jump!
Today he came here to see how the surnamed Cui was tortured in public and lost face!
Thinking so, he immediately raised a bright smile again.
Soon after he sat down, another shout came from outside—
"Jiangnan Dongdao Observation Envoy Dai Observation Envoy!"
When Cui Pu heard this, he couldn't help but exchange a look with Imperial Doctor Chang - this group of people is really bold. Brought things to this point, and now I know how to come over, just to see the excitement up close.
This time, if they don't show them enough books, I'm really sorry for their hard work!
Thinking in his heart, Cui Pu hurriedly went out, and saw Dai Ziang walking in with a big smile.
He walked quickly to Cui Pu and said with a hearty smile: "Today, the official has nothing to do, so he rode around on horseback, and inadvertently arrived outside Yangzhou City, and heard the noise of gongs and drums in the city, which was extremely lively. After inquiring, I learned that the prefect's mansion was doing a happy event, and it happened that the official felt thirsty, so he came over with a shy face to ask for a glass of water and wine. Governor Cui, you won't be reluctant, right?"
"Dai observes where you are. You can come to participate in the marriage of Xiaguan's wife and sister-in-law, this has given Xiaguan and her brother-in-law a great face, and it is too late for Xiaguan to be grateful! A few glasses of thin wine, where is there anything reluctant?" Cui Pu also smirked like him, "Dai Observation makes you here, please!"
Hearing him say this, the smile on Dai Ziang's face froze.
He made it clear just now that he heard that the prefect had a happy event, so he came to beg for wine. There was also a bit of complaining in and out of the words, that is, he was blaming Cui Pu for not making a post to invite him over on such an important day.
And Cui Pu replied very cleverly - this is just the marriage of his wife's sister-in-law, strictly speaking, it is not a happy event in the prefect's mansion, but just a wine in the mansion. Now you come to the door yourself, it's to add glory to this couple, and it has nothing to do with me!
He's not here to add glory to this couple!
But immediately, Dai Ziang smiled again: "It turned out to be the righteous sister of the prefect's wife? Ah, the official knows, it is the little lady who has been by your wife's side for the past two years and helped her take care of everything, right? At that time, the official was still thinking, such a good little lady, I don't know which Lang Jun is blessed to marry her! As a result, it didn't take long for her to find such a good marriage! Where is the groom official, you must introduce the official to him!"
"That's nature. But it's impossible today, tomorrow!" Cui Pu continued to laugh.
"Okay, then let's talk about tomorrow!" Dai Ziang nodded hurriedly, but he sneered in his heart-still tomorrow? I'm afraid you won't be able to survive tonight!
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Dai Ziang was arranged to sit at the table. This time for the banquet, Cui Pu didn't post to those people in the officialdom, so most of the people who came to attend the wedding this time were people from the medicine association in Yangzhou Mansion. Now as soon as Chen Junbi and Dai Ziang appeared, the identities of the two of them naturally stood out from the crowd, and they deservedly sat in the chief.
Seeing that Dai Ziang was also coming, Chen Junbi hurriedly smiled at him and said, "Envoy Dai, I haven't seen you for a long time! Xia Guan really didn't expect to meet you in this place today!"
"I didn't expect that Chen Zhixian would also come here today. "Dai Ziang is as his name suggests, and his chin is very high.
"It's all fate! This is what God told us, Xiaguan and Dai observed that your fate is very deep!" Chen Junbi laughed.
Dai Ziang nodded indifferently.
But if you look closely, you can see that there is a gleam in the eyes of both people.
Just as the two of them were laughing, someone suddenly came outside.
The person who came this time was Yuan Qing, the eldest grandson of Yuan Mubai, the envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao Jiedu. He is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, but he is tall and mighty, and his tiger eyes are shining. He only stood there, like an iron tower, which made the people next to him feel a lot smaller in an instant. And if he is accidentally swept by his gaze again, it will be even more refreshing, and every tendon in his body can't stop tensing. It's like a little rabbit being targeted by a tiger, and the body can't help but want to tremble a few times.
"On the orders of my grandfather, the younger generation came to thank the prefect for her life-saving grace to my wife and the second and third aunts. coincided with the marriage of the prefect's wife's sister-in-law, so she also begged for a cup of wine by the way. The tall body stood in front of Cui Pu, and saluted with a chic fist, and the loud sound almost broke people's eardrums.
This young man is young, but he already has the demeanor of his grandfather. Presumably after a few more years, he will become the pillar of the Yuan family again.
Cui Pu looked at his steel and iron bones with envy, as well as the momentum between his eyebrows and eyes, and he didn't forget to return the salute. That's it, so he whispered, "Your lady gave birth?"
"Well, I just gave birth last night, a little lady, mother and daughter are safe. Yuan Qing nodded hurriedly, and a little excitement appeared in his eyes.
No matter how rough a man is, once he talks about his children, especially the little dolls that have just been born after hardships, he can't stop being excited. But he finally restrained himself, and said seriously: "The second aunt and the third aunt are also soon." With the guidance of the prefect's wife, Dr. Bai took good care of them, and I expect that they will definitely give birth safely like my lady at that time. ”
"That's good, we're all relieved!" Cui Pu nodded hurriedly, and led him in to sit down.
Although Yuan Qing is the grandson of Yuan Jiedu, because he is still young, he is still only a martial artist, and he will only wait for the next year to participate in the examination. This identity is a big difference compared to Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi, so in terms of position sequence, he has to sit under these two.
But neither Dai Ziang nor Chen Junbi dared to despise him.
And seeing this person appear, their eyes when they looked at Cui Pu changed again--when, this person had already been involved with the Yuan Jiedu envoy? Could it be the last time they went to the door to treat the Yuan family's daughter-in-law? But just this time, they had actually bought the Yuan Jiedu envoy? This method is too powerful!
This time, the envoy of Yuan Jie Du sent Yuan Qing over to attend the wedding banquet, which already showed his attitude.
After all, both parties are sensitive, and the envoy of Yuan Jiedu and his three sons are all people with official positions, and the official positions of the three people are not in the same sequence as Cui Pu. Therefore, they should not have attended this happy event today.
But not Yuanqing. For the elders, he is still just a child, and he has no official position, so coming to drink wine does not mean anything. And he also said just now that he specially came to thank Mu Jiaojiao for seeing a doctor for the ladies in the house last year. As the eldest son of the Yuan family's generation, he came forward in place of the elders in the family, which is really suitable.
It's just that, having said that, Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi also understand in their hearts - if nothing else, Yuan Qing will be the head of the Yuan family in the future. His attitude is the attitude of the Yuan family as a whole. Now that he has come to the wedding banquet, it is enough to show the support of the Yuan Jiedu envoy for Cui Pu.
In this way, anyone who wants to move Cui Pu has to weigh the weight of the Yuan Jiedu Envoy.
Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi thought about it, and they figured out the meaning conveyed in it, and suddenly their eyes were dark.
What should we do now? Chen Junbi quietly gestured with his eyes.
Of course, it will continue! The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and this time the surname Cui must be taken down. Otherwise, with his ability, he doesn't know how much he will have to gather behind him to be a backer in the future. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to move him again! Dai Ziang gritted his teeth secretly, and the five fingers holding the cup gradually tightened.
At this time, there was also a ripple in his heart - at the beginning, he chose to take the lead with Chen Junbi to attack Cui Pu, was this decision right or wrong?
I thought he was a white-faced gentleman, as long as he showed the momentum of a soldier, he would definitely be scared of his farts and urine, and he would never dare to be a demon again. But now he found out that Cui Pu's bone was much more difficult to gnaw than he had imagined at the beginning! Moreover, after only a few years of hard work, under the double-sided attack of himself and Chen Junbi, and Li Zhongshu's seemingly nonexistent suppression, he could still make such a brilliant result.
is just the position of a prefect, which can allow him to exert such a great amount of light and heat. If he had changed to a larger platform, wouldn't he have poked a hole in the sky?
This young man is too powerful, but he is not on their side. That's a sad truth.
Thinking of this, his eyes were cold again--it was precisely because of this that they had to quickly get rid of this person! Otherwise, if he was given a better place to exert his strength, then he would be even more of a threat to Li Zhongshu! In the long run, he would definitely become Li Zhongshu's confidant!
Of course, he didn't like this kid either. Look at how old he is, he has already become the prefect of Yangzhou who holds great power. That temperament is even more arrogant, and his methods are ruthless, and now he has a faint posture to suppress him. He had so easily survived to get to this point, how could he allow such a young stinky boy to overpower him?
This scourge must be removed as soon as possible, without delay!
Incidentally...... Now that the Yuan family has also come forward, if he can take the opportunity to drag the Yuan family into the water, then maybe the Yuan family will also be planted with a big heel? In this way, the position of the Jiangnan Dongdao Jiedu envoy will be vacated, and he will be able to ask Li Zhongshu to operate from it and let himself be promoted!
There is no reason why he doesn't do a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!
The two of them kept weighing and comparing in their stomachs, and the time over there soon came to dusk, and the people of the Qiu family came to get married.
After a series of cumbersome rituals of urging makeup and sacrificing geese, Qiu Shan finally welcomed his beautiful lady out of the backyard, and then sent people to the sedan chair surrounded by a group of female dependents.
"Get up in the sedan chair! The bridegroom welcomes the bride back home!"
The bride screamed, and the gong and drum class planned to drum in unison, blowing and beating to welcome the couple back.
However, at this time, I saw a group of horses galloping from a distance, and they were blocked in front of the sedan chair.
"Is it the thirteenth lady of the Jingzhao Cao clan in the sedan chair?" asked the man sitting on the horse loudly.
When Qiu Shan heard this, he immediately stepped forward: "This official, today is a certain big day, can you talk about it another day?"
A month ago, the Criminal Department received a complaint from an old woman, accusing her great-granddaughter and granddaughter Cao Sanniang of escaping marriage first, evading the raid of her home, hiding in Yangzhou for three years, and imprisoning her for many years. Now, we have been ordered to arrest the prisoner who has been absconding for three years!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar, and Cui Pu immediately exchanged glances with Mu Jiaojiao, who rushed to hear the news, and the corners of both lips involuntarily turned up.
These people are getting smarter. This time, I even knew how to start small, and then slowly peel back the cocoon, and make things bigger and bigger.
In this way, the final result will be the most serious and shocking!
