Chapter 556: One word, stupid

When the people outside heard the movement and ran in, they saw such a situation, and their faces suddenly changed, and they blocked the gate tightly.

"Master!" Mrs. Li screamed and ran over to support Li Linfu, but her eyes were dead on Mu Jiaojiao's side, "What have you done to my master?

"Let them out!" Li Linfu said.

"Daddy!" Li Dalangjun also looked ugly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Hearing Li Linfu say this, the others retreated one after another.

Mu Jiaojiao and Da Langjun left this place one after another.

And behind them, there was also Mrs. Li's sobbing, and Li Linfu's strange laughter: "Wealth is in danger, wealth is in danger! I'm waiting for him, I'm waiting for ......"

Mu Jiaojiao's steps were not chaotic at all, and she left this gloomy place steadily.

It wasn't until she got into the carriage that she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the person sat down in the carriage.

"What a big temptation!" she said to herself, patting her chest, "and, if he had been able to get him, perhaps the war would not have happened three years later." In that way, many innocent people will be spared from being involved in the war. But...... Hey!" Eventually, all the emotions tumbling in his chest could only turn into a long sigh.

Da Langjun rode a horse and followed her carriage. Listening to the long sigh of his mother in the car, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and his hands holding the reins clenched into fists.

The mother and son returned to Cui's mansion, and Zheng and Mrs. Cui had been waiting for a long time. The maid hurriedly brought them to Mrs. Cui, and Mu Jiaojiao didn't squirm, so she told Li Linfu the real purpose of inviting her over today.

After Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Zheng listened, both of them fell into a long silence.

"This Li Linfu is really cunning. It's clear that he has been defeated now, but he can still come up with such a way to induce people to take over his mess. He's really a good plan!" Mrs. Cui's face was extremely serious, "Fortunately, Daughter-in-law Liulang, you withstood it." This kind of thing, we must not get involved, absolutely not!"

However, I think his sentence of seeking wealth and danger is actually quite reasonable. With our Cui family here, coupled with the ability of the sixth brother, it is not impossible to suppress those people. Moreover, the current imperial court is really in chaos, and someone is needed to stabilize the overall situation and clean it up. Zheng said in a low voice.

Of course, she wanted this man to be her husband. But now, her husband obviously doesn't have this ability, so her husband's younger brother can also do it. At least in this matter, Cui Pu will definitely seek the opinion of Cui Yu, the elder brother, when the time comes, the two brothers work together, and the credit will inevitably be top-notch.

"Now manpower alone can no longer cure this decaying court. Unless an external force comes to completely shatter and rebuild it, don't think about politics suddenly becoming clear!"

A deep voice suddenly sounded, and the three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law raised their heads in unison, and saw Cui Ge Lao and Cui Ye, father and son, walking in from outside.

The three of them quickly stood up, and Cui Ge Lao smiled and said, "It's all my own family, you don't have to be so restrained, just sit down!" After they were seated, he said to Mu Jiaojiao again, "I don't know what happened to you when you went to Li Linfu's mansion, but with my understanding of that meat waist knife, he must not have given up until now, in a vain attempt to use the side door to reinvigorate his power." This person is cunning and cunning, and his subordinates are all drill camp people, and they must not be compared with him. So, no matter how tempting the offer may be, you have to say no. If you tell Rokuro this, you will say that I said it, and tell him that he must carry it out, and there is no room for negotiation!"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly. "I remember my uncle's words. ”

Cui Ge Lao looked at the Zheng family again, and finally set his eyes on Cui Yu: "Dalang, you have been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, right?"

"Back to Daddy, it's been twenty-three years. Cui Yu hurriedly replied.

"It's been twenty-three years, time flies so fast!" Cui Ge sighed, "So what have you seen in the past twenty-three years?"

"I saw that the saints were getting older day by day, their energy was becoming less and less day by day, and wave after wave of people came out to make waves, all with the connivance of the saints, and the atmosphere in the court became more and more unbearable because of these people's tossing. ”

"Then do you think that with another prime minister, the situation will improve?"

"Difficult. ”

"Why?"

"Because it is the saint who really holds the power of the family and the country. However, since he got Yang Guifei, the saint often did not go to court early, and only threw all the government affairs of the court and China to the prime minister. With such great power, how many prime ministers can hold on to it? Not to mention, the saint is now becoming more and more nepotistic, and whoever can behave in a way that pleases him will be reused, and he is not at all like before, and he is not at all like before, and he rarely accepts advice. Even if Ah Di really used the group of people under Li Linfu to sit on the position of prime minister, he must be removed in a short time, just because his temperament is not pleasing to the saint!"

"yes, that's why I said that this court has rotted from within. Although it still looks glamorous on the outside, it has long been vulnerable. Now it's no longer possible to turn the tide and clean it up. Cui Ge Lao shook his head and sighed.

Mu Jiaojiao and the others were shocked when they heard this.

Mu Jiaojiao was naturally surprised that Cui Gelao's political consciousness was too astute. What would happen in three years, he had already expected it now!

And Cui Yu, Zheng and the others were shocked by Cui Ge Lao's idea - he actually wanted to come to an external force to solve the old saint!

The idea is crazy. Once Yang Guozhong and others know about it, they will inevitably deduct the hat of a chaotic minister and thief, and the Cui family will have to be greatly injured if they don't die.

Mrs. Cui hurriedly said: "Master, you have started talking nonsense again! I see that you are idle at home after Zhishi!"

"Isn't it? I'm an old bone, and I don't have much to do every day, so I love to think nonsense, and those words are just words I came up with in the heat of exhaustion. Let's just listen to it together as a family, you don't have to take it seriously, you don't have to take it seriously. Cui Ge Lao hurriedly laughed.

He said that he didn't have to take it seriously, could he really not be serious? Mu Jiaojiao secretly lowered his eyes.

After saying this, Cui Ge Lao really didn't mention this matter anymore, but said to Mu Jiaojiao: "By the way, Liulang's daughter-in-law, you have also seen the little Langjun who came to the door to propose to the twelve ladies these days, which one do you like?"

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law doesn't understand anything, so I don't dare to talk about it." This matter is up to the aunt and uncle. ”

"That's your child, don't you really have any ideas......? You're the same as the Twelve Ladies, anyway, the candidate won't be the one you want, so it doesn't matter who it is?"

Mu Jiaojiao chuckled in her heart!" Uncle, please calm your anger. The Twelve Ladies have indeed liked Erlangjun of the Li family all these years, but she knows her identity and never dares to mess around. Now, she is also willing to follow the family's arrangement. ”

"Of course I do. The children of my Cui family must be well-behaved and obedient. Cui Ge said, "It's just that she is the queen of my Cui family after all." If I can, I naturally hope that they can be with their sweethearts, and they will never abandon their love and love for a lifetime. ”

Mu Jiaojiao's heart was shocked again! She hurriedly looked up at Cui Ge Lao, and Cui Ge Lao smiled and said, "Let's see again! As long as this kid has the courage to come to the door to propose marriage, I may really consider marrying the twelve ladies to him." ”

"Uncle, it's not good!" Although Mu Jiaojiao was moved, she was still worried.

Elder Cui Ge smiled and said, "I know what you're afraid of. In fact, it's nothing, the Cui family does need to marry with various families, but there are many ways to marry. You can't marry a daughter, so just marry someone else's daughter. There are so many children in our family, and they don't have to marry each of them. For example, you and Rokuro, haven't the young couple been doing well all these years?"

Mu Jiaojiao understood, and quickly got up and saluted Cui Ge: "Daughter-in-law, thank you Uncle for your tolerance." Daughter-in-law, now the first generation of the twelve ladies, thank you for your magnanimity. ”

"That's easy to say. However, you still don't tell the twelve ladies about this first. What I want to see now is how much sincerity and sincerity that Li Erlang has for her. If he doesn't show enough, I still won't marry my granddaughter to him. Cui Ge said with a smile.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly. "The daughter-in-law knows. ”

The group talked about some other things, and Mu Jiaojiao and Zheng said goodbye.

Actually, Uncle's concerns are right. Zheng whispered to Mu Jiaojiao, "Since the founding of the country, the saints of all generations have tried their best to weaken the influence of the family. Our five surnames and seven families marry each other, and the foundation is still very solid, but after all, it is still not as good as before. Now, if we want to continue to be solid, we must change our strategy and stop sticking to the old ways. As now, marrying a highly decorated military general is also a good way to expand your network. ”

Mu Jiaojiao's head was bright. "I understand what Uncle means. ”

Moreover, after careful calculation, the eldest lady is the concubine of the concubine, and the total ranking is still a concubine, so it is just right to take it out to win over the generals. The little lady of the Cui family's house is bound to marry with five surnames and seven families.

Now marrying the eldest lady out of the five surnames is a great honor for other families, and the loss for the Cui family is not too big, this is an extremely cost-effective deal. But unfortunately, this kind of business is not something that everyone is willing to do. At least, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady really had a relationship with Li Xiang, Cui Ge Lao would still be more willing to let her marry into the right family!

However, no matter what, with Cui Gelao's words, she was relieved. At least the eldest lady will not be too miserable in the second half of her life. And as a mother, who doesn't want their children and sweethearts to stay happily together for a lifetime?

It's just that, for the purpose of testing Li Xiang, only their own people know about this matter, and they didn't say anything about it.

And the eldest lady still runs out every day without heart and lungs, playing with the little sisters she newly met in Chang'an, without asking which one the family plans to set for her. Come to think of it, she is also planning to break the jar!

"This stupid kid ......" Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, so she ordered, "Go and see what that Li Erlangjun is doing." ”

Li Guangbi returned to Chang'an to take up his post, and naturally found a good position for his son. The father and son took office as several new officials, and they were naturally conscientious and did not dare to slack off. It's just that because of the loss to the eldest lady on the polo field before, and later the refusal to ask a matchmaker to go to Cui's house to ask for marriage, and then standing stupidly at the gate of Cui's house for three days, Li Xiang has become a joke in the eyes of his colleagues. From time to time, someone wants to stimulate him with this incident.

Now, when everyone came out of the yamen, some people joked about Li Xiang: "I heard that the little lady of the Cui family is about to decide on the family, and you really don't want to try it anymore? Since you are happy with each other, why don't you ask them anymore, maybe they will really marry you for the sake of your infatuation! Otherwise, you can still take her to elope! In the future, the sky is high and the birds will fly and the sea will leap with the fish, who will be able to control you? You all have hands and feet, and it will not be a problem to support yourself, right?"

In the Cui family, the Yang family hit a big nail, and although they were still angry in their hearts, they didn't dare to mess around again. However, the Cui family didn't dare to move anymore, and it was always okay to find people related to the Cui family to vent, right? Therefore, these Yang family's minions are looking for opportunities to sneer at Li Xiang these days.

Li Xiang kept a straight face and let them talk about the east and west. It wasn't until this person even said the words of elopement that he interrupted coldly: "If you hire a wife, run for a concubine, I won't insult her like this." ”

"Hahaha, she has already despised you so much, and you still take such tender care of her, I really can't see it! Li Erlangjun turned out to be an infatuated species!" The young man sneered.

Li Xiang just glanced at him faintly, and continued to walk forward.

When the young man saw this, he was extremely angry in his heart, and when he swept his eyes and saw the figure in front of him, he smiled again: "That infatuated species, you take a good look ahead, Cui Niangzi doesn't care how affectionate you are to her." Now there are more talented and good-looking Xiaolangjun around her, I'm afraid she has already picked her eyes, right?"

Although he told himself not to be angry, when he raised his eyes and saw that the eldest lady in front of him was sitting upstairs with a well-dressed little Langjun talking and laughing together, and the two of them were obviously very close, his eyes couldn't help but darken.

Immediately, he raised his feet and walked towards the teahouse.

"Ha, he's not going to find someone to fight, right?" These gentlemen couldn't help but change their faces, and hurriedly followed.

saw Li Xiang striding to the place where the eldest lady was, grabbed the little Langjun, and threw it away. "Get out!"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Xiao Langjun rolled to the ground, his back hurt, and he couldn't help screaming.

"Whatever you want to threaten her, get out of here. Li Xiang said coldly.

"Who said I threatened her? I'm talking to her!"

The look in her eyes told me. ”

"Nonsense!" Xiao Langjun immediately pointed to the eldest lady, "You tell him, did I threaten you?"

"Nope. The eldest lady immediately shook her head.

Xiao Langjun immediately held his head high. Li Xiang only glanced at the eldest lady lightly, and coldly spit out a word: "Stupid." ”
