The main house of the Cui family, the place where the heads of the Cui family lived in the past dynasties.

As one of the four major families, the Cui family has been famous for generations and has a great reputation.

But the head of the Cui family of this generation, Cui Mingzhe, is completely different. Cui Mingzhe is extremely low-key, even too low-key, as long as it is not a major event within the family, Cui Mingzhe never goes out to meet anyone.

No one knows what the previous generation of family heads thought, although Cui Mingzhe's status in the Cui family is extremely high, they all know that he is a hands-off shopkeeper, and family affairs are basically in charge of Cui Shaner's family.

In fact, Cui Mingzhe has made great achievements, but Cui Mingzhe likes to study more than managing the family.

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, Cui Mingzhe has dabbled in it, and they all have their own unique opinions.

Cui Mingzhe has no wife and no children in his life, and he has locked himself in his room all the year round to study his studies, and no one is allowed to disturb him if it is not an important event, and today is no exception.

It stands to reason that as long as a cultivator is not injured by a special attack, he is not a big problem, he falls to a large extent, he is sick and painful in the mortal world, he is born, old, sick and dies.

But although Cui Mingzhe's realm is not extremely high, he also suffers from extremely serious eyelashes, and once he reads for a long time, he will cry and ache, which shows the seriousness of this secret injury.

Under the lonely lamp, Cui Mingzhe was still as usual, flipping through an old yellowed ancient book with wrinkled pages, his brows furrowed!

"Knock knock!" The wooden door of Huanghuali was suddenly slammed, but Cui Mingzhe was indeed too focused and completely ignored the slamming door.

But the next moment, Choi Ming-cheol broke away from it and hurriedly opened the door.

Because the comer chose to interrupt his musings with a heartfelt voice.

The voice of the heart calls for a person, sometimes it is a secret reminder, sometimes it is for convenience, but sometimes it seems extremely rude. Obviously, this person's behavior is extremely rude.

I am afraid that there are few people in the world who dare to be rude to the head of the Cui family, but seeing Cui Mingzhe's reaction like this, it can also be seen that the other party's identity is special and noble.

When I opened the door, I saw a young Confucian student walking out of the door, with a pear blossom wooden hairpin pinned to his head.

Cui Mingzhe didn't care about any etiquette for young and old, and took the lead in saluting: "Cui Ze's predecessors visited late at night, and Cui Mingzhe, the head of the Cui family, did not greet him, so he really missed the welcome!"

It's just that he just bent his waist down, and Cui Ze's figure turned around and missed it sideways.

When the other party was about to get up, he said: "The ancestor is really tormented by me, I am just a person from the side of the Cui family, where can I receive this great gift, this is the gift I should do." ”

Cui Mingzhe Nunu's mouth, the wrinkles on his face were piled up, and he scolded with a smile: "What nonsense, my generation of scholars, only pay attention to the master first, since your knowledge is above me, if I rely on the old and sell the old, won't it seem that I am narrow-minded and ridiculed?"

Since Cui Ze's last big move, he became a Confucian saint with an extremely arrogant and uninhibited attitude, and the identity of the Cui family changed again, and he quickly learned the news.

Driven by curiosity and reverence, he asked to see Cui Ze many times, in order to show his sincerity, he took more care of the side branches of Cui Ze's lineage, and taught the disciples several times, but Cui Ze was still indifferent.

Even when he personally ascended to Chaohu Academy, Cui Ze was closed, and now when he sees Cui Ze himself, the joy and excitement in his heart can be imagined.

Cui Mingzhe hurriedly introduced the other party into the room, took out a large stool, and said, "Please sit down!"

dragged the old body again, went into the inner room and took out a pot of tea, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my expectation, one day you will be able to use it for distinguished guests, this Jiangnan Longjing has been left until now, and now it has finally come in handy." ”

All this went smoothly, which made Cui Ze a little uncomfortable.

He was afraid that if the other party continued like this, he was afraid that he would have to put on a full banquet, so he hurriedly said: "Ancestor, don't be busy, I came today to tell you something, but I didn't come to drink tea and chat." ”

Cui Mingzhe looked at the other party's serious expression and serious tone, and he was not a pedantic person who didn't know that the gaffe was serious and easy, so he quickly sat down and said calmly: "Then you say it, I'll listen." ”

Cui Ze didn't get down to business first, and said seriously: "First of all, I want to correct your mistakes, knowledge and learning are two concepts, and I am not ashamed to say that learning is a little better than me, but on the one hand, knowledge is still too much inferior to me." ”

Scholarship is about whether a person can combine what he has learned from books with what he has learned in the world, whether he can find better answers, and whether he can make new discoveries.

And knowledge is just a simple study of a person's knowledge reserve ability, the world in the book is bizarre, strange, Cui Mingzhe has studied and studied all his life, but Cui Ze is just the opposite, not only has he not read a few books, but he has never studied a book carefully.

Therefore, it is simply frustrating to say that his knowledge is higher than that of Choi Ming-che.

In fact, not only is he unable to compare with Cui Mingzhe's knowledge, but there are really few people in the world who can compare with him.

Of course, Cui Mingzhe knew the difference, smiled kindly, and said, "I still said that I want to get down to business, and I didn't dwell on some of my small mistakes." ”

The implication is that I still agree with Cui Ze's statement, and his knowledge is indeed much higher than Cui Ze.

But he was still curious, since Cui Ze said it was a serious matter, then why was he still here to spend time with him, since he came in just now, and still is.

Cui Ze continued: "There are people in the Cui family who have a close relationship with the Demon Sect, and the academy sent me here to tell you about this. ”

Cui Mingzhe's pupils shrank suddenly, he was shocked, and he jumped up and said, "Who is so bold!? Dare to collude with the Demon Sect, my Cui family master will bring him to justice today and personally hand him over to the academy for disposal!"

In collusion with the Demon Sect, if this matter spreads, then the reputation of the Cui family will definitely be greatly damaged, thinking that he has a big family with a history of 10,000 years and a continuous inheritance, there is a traitor in the family, how can this be endured?

It's like someone who has been a clean official all his life, as long as he embezzles and accepts one thing in the end, then the persistence of this life will be in vain.

There are some things that are taboo and should not be touched under any circumstances.

Cui Ze poured himself a cup of tea without authorization, and said slowly: "Ancestor, you can't be like this every time! Wouldn't it seem a little redundant to think about it when things develop to the point where your eyebrows are burning?"

This was said mercilessly, even almost ruthlessly, and it was regarded as a slap on Cui Mingzhe's face, Cui Mingzhe was suddenly ashamed, and his old face turned red.

Cui Ze is not wrong at all, Cui Mingzhe is dedicated to studying in his own ocean of knowledge, where can he care about the intrigue of these families.

Although it has always been said that he has always dealt with things and punished sinners, he is known for his ruthlessness with an iron face, but it only stays at punishment, and the cause at this time is ignored, and only the result is seen.

Cui Ze's trivial things are like this, and Cui Shan's rebellion is also like this, only when things really happen can you know everything, and if it doesn't happen in a lifetime, you don't know how to do it for a lifetime.

At the beginning, Cui Ze said that he wanted to talk to Cui Mingzhe in person, but he didn't just want to talk to him about his disciple's bullying, what he really wanted to say to Cui Mingzhe was that he, the head of the family, had made a big mistake fundamentally in dealing with the affairs of the Cui family.

Just like a river, Choi Ming-cheol, as the head of the family, is the scavenger of the river, and he has always been concerned with cleaning up the dirt on the surface of the river that he can see, but completely ignoring the impurities at the source of the river, and will only put the cart before the horse.

Before Cui Mingzhe could speak, Cui Ze spoke again: "The younger generation knows that you are obsessed with research and learning, and even obsessed, but we can't just take care of ourselves, since we have become the head of the family, then we have to do something practical in their position." ”

Closed door all the year round, and only reading sage books, Cui Mingzhe, the shopkeeper, really deserves nothing remarkable.

His old face turned red at the moment, and he was ashamed, and asked, "Dare to ask who dares to collude with the Demon Sect?"

Cui Ze drank all the Longjing in one gulp, this taste is really good, closed his eyes and said slowly: "The second head of the Cui family, Cui Shan!"

Cui Mingzhe was speechless, how could it be his most trusted second brother Cui Shan? For so many years, he trusted this younger brother the most, so he dared to hand over all the affairs within the family to him, and he never thought that the person who betrayed the Cui family in the end would be Cui Shan.

Cui Ze opened his eyes and glanced at him, and said without the slightest pleading: "You also know the principles of the academy, all those who collude with the Demon Sect have always been severely punished, but it doesn't matter what the Cui family is or not." Don't be confused!"

His words were all for the Cui family, he couldn't watch Cui Mingzhe's momentary unbearability, and finally caused the Cui family to make mistakes again and again!

Cui Mingzhe gritted his teeth and said categorically: "I know how to do it, the Cui family's family law is not up to people to decide whether to punish or not." ”

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the door and said, "I'm going to bring him to justice!"

As a result, Cui Ze blocked the way and said: "It's not too late, this matter is not so simple, don't worry, there will be no accidents." Otherwise, I wouldn't have had tea with you here. ”

At the same time, Zhang Yuanyi was here.

"Come out, Cui Wenxing, the second uncle heard that you brought some guests, the weather is also very cold in the middle of the night, this kind of place is not suitable for overnight stay, the second uncle's mansion is big, if you don't dislike it, come to my house for a night, it's good to be warm and warm." A voice rang out from outside and into the house.

No one responded, as if it was indeed empty.

Cui Shan was a little impatient, and continued: "If you don't come out again, don't blame the second uncle for being ruthless in convicting you, you must know that betraying the family is a capital crime." ”

Cui Wenxing slowly opened the door, greeted him with a smile, and said gently: "Second uncle is joking, I'm just casually strolling, where are there any guests." ”
