There is no love, but after all, there is still some love, in the capital in the past few years, the love between Xu Chen and the princess has not been broken, since he knows that Qinghe County is the help of the princess, he naturally has no reason to suppress it, just wrote a letter to the Cui manor on the bank of the Fuchun River, and returned to the inn with the maid, quietly enjoying the scenery and drinking and sitting, as if he didn't know what was happening in Yangguan City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A simple letter is just a temptation, and it also hides some not-so-pure thoughts of Xu Chen. He wanted to see if these thousands of families in Qinghe County were embarrassed by the Kuanyi Pavilion simply to please the princess and the Dushan Sect, and to surrender their names through disrespect to the queen's mother, or if they had other ideas......

As he said to the shopkeeper, if it is the former, if the surnames of Qinghe County really have overly complicated ideas, then when Xu Chen can't understand these ideas, he will inevitably have some bad thoughts, he represents the entry of the Dushan Sect into the WTO, and his ideas are very important for today's Chaoyang.

In the courtyard of the Song family on the shore of the thin lake, the autumn mood is gradually rising, the greenery still exists, it is the beautiful season, but the atmosphere in the courtyard seems to be a little depressing, the girls of the wide pavilion are either leaning on the railing, or sitting quietly behind the table, with a look of uneasiness and worry on their beautiful faces, and they are not in the mood to enjoy the scenery at all.

The girls in the wide pavilion are not all Qinglou women, but whether they are dancing, singing or something else, they are all living a life of ushering in the send-off, and their eyesight is very unusual. They know very well that although these people are held by high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, it is because of the relationship between the boss and the palace, and in Qinghe County, even the court officials are naturally three levels lower, not to mention that they are weak women, and when they encounter these gate valves who are not afraid of the queen mother at all, they are in great trouble.

They all know what the problem is now, but they can't find a way to solve the problem, although Kuanyige's trip is to go to the lead Hua Temple at the behest of the imperial court, but after all, it is not an official mission, it is impossible to expect these gate valves to have any fears, as for the general of Zhenxi, Xian Zhilang, is now in the Cui Garden, can he still be counted on?

Thinking of the cold face of the Cui family steward when he left in the morning, the girls became more and more frightened, and two or three people looked at the little girl sitting in the first place, and couldn't help but show a resentful look, thinking that if you weren't so arrogant and vicious to the Cui family's steward, you wouldn't have offended these Qinghe County surnames to such an extent, although you are spoiled by the boss on weekdays, but this is not the capital, why are you still so arrogant?

The little girl is the boss's personal maid Xiao Meizi, this time the wide coat pavilion went to the lead Hua Temple, she was the foreman, and it was obvious that the boss also began to train a successor.

Compared with three years ago, Xiao Meizi is a little older, but she is still naïve, but in this gloomy mist, the little girl's clear eyebrows and eyes did not have any uneasy look, but looked extremely indifferent, looking at those girls frowned slightly and said: "Nothing has happened yet, what are you doing?"

In the world of Qinglou, the status of the boss is equal to that of the emperor, Xiaomeizi is her designated successor, although these girls can't help but slander or make some faces, but no one dares to point out to their faces, a mild-tempered girl looked at the faces of her companions, smiled reluctantly, stepped forward and whispered and persuaded her: "Even if the Cui family deliberately made things difficult, the girl's attitude in the morning was too tough." ”

Xiao Meizi sneered and said: "My Kuanyi Pavilion only performs for His Majesty and Niangniang, how can the old lady of the Cui family talk about these two? For the sake of respecting the old and respecting the virtuous, it doesn't hurt to go to Cui Yuan to have a scene, but he actually dared to deliberately make things difficult, and the steward even dared to speak with threats, really when my Kuanyi Pavilion is an ordinary Qinglou?"

Hearing this, the girls looked at each other, thinking that Xiaomeizi really has a bit of the momentum of the boss now, but in the face of the surnames of Qinghe County, what is the difference between Kuanyi Pavilion and ordinary Qinglou, you are putting on this momentum now, and when the time comes, will it be even more humiliating to be bullied by others?

Xiao Meizi knew what they were thinking, but she didn't bother to explain, she took out a bag of wood aromatherapy melon seeds from her sleeve, and took care of herself, she knew that even if General Zhenxi didn't speak, naturally someone would speak, of course, the little girl's inner emotions were not as calm as they appeared, because she didn't know whether that person was in Yangguan or not.

The wind came from the thin lake, slowly blowing in the courtyard, it was quiet, only the sound of swallowing melon seeds could be heard, and suddenly someone came to report, and Cui Valve sent someone again. Hearing this news, the girls who were barely able to sit down before stood up in surprise, thinking how did they come so quickly, it seems that it really aroused Cui Valve's anger, how can this be good?

Xiao Meizi was slightly stunned, and slowly put the melon seeds in her fingers back into the bag.

The four stewards of the Cui family came to Slender Lake again, and this should be the third time he has come here in one day and one night. There are very few things in Yangguan City that can make the four stewards of the Cui family come forward three times in a row, and if the people who can enjoy this kind of treatment are not extremely big, then there will be very troublesome things in the future.

Today, though, Kuankaku is not destined to run into any trouble.

Because the four stewards of the Cui family were lying on a stretcher and were carried into Song Garden.

The girls in the Kuanyi Pavilion looked at the dying middle-aged man on the stretcher, and looked at the bloodstains that the man's clothes couldn't hide, and couldn't help but cover their mouths in shock, how could they not connect this person with the calm and gentle but unquestionable and powerful Cui family steward last night and morning.

Xiao Meizi was also a little surprised, stood up, and looked at the gray-haired old man next to the stretcher.

The old man saluted Xiao Meizi and said, "The villain is the chief steward of the Cui Mansion, and I heard that the people in the family are disrespectful to the girls, so I hereby tie him up and ask you for the guilt, this person pointed at the girl, and the head of the house broke five fingers on him, and then dropped twelve rods, I wonder if the girl is satisfied?"

Xiao Meizi naturally understood at this time that that person was really in Yangguan City, and the nervousness that he had forcibly concealed before disappeared in an instant, looking at the four stewards covered in blood on the stretcher, it was very difficult to let his hands not clench into fists, but naturally hang down on the skirt.

After getting the answer that Kuanyi Pavilion was not unsatisfied, the chief steward of Cui Mansion apologized respectfully again, and then left Song Yuan with people cleanly.

Except for a few drops of blood remaining on the bluestone floor, it was as if nothing had happened, as if the terrifying shadow cast by the gate valve last night was an illusion.

It took a long time for the girls to wake up from their shock and stunnedness, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Little Plum again was noticeably different, and the calm and indifference in Little Plum's childish eyebrows took on a few unfathomable flavors in their eyes, and had a real momentum.

Xiao Meizi smiled suddenly, and then continued to bow her head and eat melon seeds.

The girls waved away the maidservants, served tea themselves, and stood aside with a smile and waited.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Meizi patted off the crumbs in her hands, took the tea and moistened her throat, looked at them and said: "In the past, in the capital, no one dared to provoke us, but now that we are out of the capital, you don't need to panic, or that sentence, Kuanyi Pavilion is not an ordinary dance." ”

The four stewards of Cui Mansion were roded to half death, carried out of Song Garden, and then carried on a stretcher and walked along Yangguan City, I don't know how many shocking discussions and speculations were provoked, the people in Yangguan City naturally could see that this was deliberately done by Cui Fu, and they couldn't help but be shocked and speechless, thinking about what kind of background did the Kuanyi Pavilion where they lived in Song Garden, and they could do it to this extent that the Cui family could do it to this extent, you must know that it is not an ordinary powerful family, but the Cui family of Qinghe County who has the confidence to not even pay attention to the queen's mother's family!

Immediately afterwards, something even more shocking happened in Yangguan City. A log-colored carriage came from outside the city, and the wheels also carried the unique reddish river mud on the bank of the Fuchun River, this carriage looked shabby and lonely, but where it passed, the lively Yangguan City suddenly became extremely quiet, I don't know how many officials and stewards stood at the corner of the street to maintain order, and many shopkeepers along the street knelt directly to the carriage.

The people in Yangguan City all know that there are only two people who are qualified to sit in this carriage in Qinghe County, one is the patriarch of the Cui family, and the other is the old lady of the Cui family.

The street in front of the best inn in Slender Lake has been closed in advance, and there is not a single pedestrian on the street, and it is very quiet. The carriage slowly drove to the front of the inn, and the innkeeper was already waiting on the side of the street, knelt beside the car and kowtowed respectfully a few times, and then carefully helped the ordinary rich man who walked down from the carriage and walked down.

The shopkeeper is the shopkeeper of the inn, but he is not qualified to enter his inn today.

Following the patriarch of the Cui clan into the inn, there was only an ordinary-looking, slumped old steward.

The surnames of Qinghe County are headed by the surname Cui, and the patriarch of the Cui clan is the first person in Qinghe County, in the hearts of many Chaoyang people, the first person in Qinghe County is the second person in Chaoyang in fact, except for His Majesty the Emperor who lives in the capital, no man's status can surpass him.

When a big man of such status visited in person, it seemed that everyone should go out of the room to greet him, but Xu Chen didn't do so, and he didn't even show any smile on his face.

Because he confirmed that the other party who can become the first person in Qinghe County will not be lower than him in IQ at least, so since they are all smart people, why do so many hypocritical and meaningless things?

The appearance of the patriarch of the Cui clan was very ordinary, even more ordinary than the old steward who followed him, wearing a silk shirt that was not vulgar but definitely not elegant, and he looked like an ordinary rich man.

But he spoke very unusually.

"I was wrong. ”

The patriarch of the Cui clan sighed with emotion: "When I was in the court, I just wanted to make Your Majesty happy, but it turned out to make Your Majesty unhappy, so I was driven back to Qinghe, and now I know that you are passing through Yangguan, I probably want to prove that I can also govern the state in addition to governing the country, so I want to try to make you happy and save some of my reputation on this road, but I didn't expect it to be such a failure, it seems that I was really wrong, I have no talent in this area." ”

Cui Xiang, once served as a scholar in the house, walked in the palace, and served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and Officials, a few years after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was impeached for a certain matter, and he returned to Fuchun River to do a fishing.

Judging from these simple introductions alone, this man who looks like an ordinary rich man is just a retired high-ranking official of the imperial court, and he is not worthy of attention, but Xu Chen knows very well that when Cui Xiang is walking in the palace, it is when the princess is literate, in other words, this person is the Qimeng teacher of Her Royal Highness the princess, of course, more importantly, because this person is the patriarch of the Cui family, so he is a big man who must be taken seriously.

Xu Chen attached great importance to Cui Xiang, although he did not get up to greet him, he just deliberately behaved. So he didn't understand what Cui Xiang said, he couldn't understand why such a big man should welcome himself, try to make himself happy, and even visit once there was a problem.

You must know that the history of the Qinghe County Gate Valve is even longer than that of the Dushan Sect, even if you have to show respect for the Dushan Sect, there is no reason to choose this kind of superficial and direct or even a somewhat stupid method.

Cui Yu did not solve his doubts, in the following conversation, he changed the topic very calmly and naturally, perfectly showing the bearing and demeanor of the Qianshi Gate Valve, did not talk about any matters related to the Kuanyi Pavilion, just recalled the old things in the capital, and occasionally asked about the recent situation of Her Royal Highness the princess and the little prince.

After asking Xu Chendai to ask Xuan Wei for peace, he took a thin letter from his sleeve, put it on the table, glanced at the maid gently, and left, leaving the inn with the old housekeeper who was lying down.

Looking at the quiet street outside the window, Xu Chen said: "He doesn't need to pat me on the back, but he came to shoot it, but he took it so lightly and carelessly, and he didn't hide his pride." ”

The maid was puzzled, thinking to herself that such a big man had deigned to come to visit in person, and had shown enough humility, where could she see any pride?

"In the eyes of the world, the first person in Qinghe County, there is really no need to come to meet me, a disciple of the Dushan Sect, but he is a smart person, and he knows very well what the Dushan Sect means to Chaoyang, but since he knows this, coupled with your identity as a quasi-Xiling Grand Priest, if you don't come, how can it be so simple to come?"

Xu Chen retracted his gaze, looked at the cup of tea in his hand that he didn't take a sip at all, and said: "This thing is a little weird, I always feel that Cui Xiang just came over to see the two of us, the problem is, what does he want to see us, and I always feel that his calm exudes a very strong confidence." ”

The maid said: "Even when I was in Yong'an, I also heard of the reputation of the surnames of Qinghe County, and a big man like this naturally has the confidence to speak and do things." ”

Xu Chen shook his head and said: "How can there be any real heirloom of poetry and books in the world, which can be passed down for more than a thousand years, and it depends on strength after all, and the gate valve of Qinghe County knows this truth better than anyone else." ”

"These gate valves have been out of the Xiling Great Priest before, but they haven't been in the past few decades, I also know that there are three great cultivators who know the fate realm in Qinghe County, but one died inexplicably in the capital, then these gate valves should know that no matter how powerful Qinghe County is, it can even be compared with countries such as Dahe, Yuelun, and Song Wei, but they don't have any confidence in front of the imperial court and Dushan Sect. ”

The maid suddenly said, "That...... There is a problem with the old steward. ”

What she said this time is a problem, it doesn't mean that the old butler is a bad person, but a real problem. Xu Chen clearly grasped her mind, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then his eyebrows slowly raised.

The old steward who was hunched up before was so ordinary that he didn't even notice what the man looked like, but the maid said that there was something wrong with the man.

Now Xu Chen's realm has already reached the peak of Dongxuan, and he clearly sees the threshold of the realm of knowing fate, and an old steward who he can't see any problems at all...... It can only be said that he is a great cultivator of the realm of knowing fate!

"It turns out that it depends on someone else for me. ”

Xu Chen said in shock. Now that there are only two great cultivators left in Qinghe County, one of them actually came to check on him in person, why would Qinghe County be so wary of himself, the heir of the Dushan Sect?

If it weren't for the maid's unimaginable intuition and sensitivity, then he might not have known that he had been carefully observed by a great cultivator until much later!

If the old steward from before suddenly made a move, Xu Chen believed that he was now a dead man, although he knew that this could not happen, but he still had a very strong vigilance.

He couldn't understand Qinghe County's confidence before, and he couldn't understand Qinghe County's intentions at this time, but his vigilance was getting deeper and deeper, and he was even about to turn into a weak willow on the shore of Thin Lake, binding his body and making his breathing heavy and difficult.

So he wrote two letters, one to the Dushan Sect and the other to the national teacher Li Qingshan, telling the story of what he saw and heard along the way, his views on the charm of Qingxia, and the story of his encounter in Qinghe County.

The lonely and shabby carriage, under the respectful and even fanatical gaze of the people of Yangguan City, drove towards the outside of Yangguan City, and even though the old steward was sitting on the wheel, he was still leaning and drooping his eyes, as if he could not feel the gazes cast on both sides of the street at all, as if he had fallen asleep.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage drove into a quiet manor in Fuchunjiang, and drove directly to the deepest part of the manor, there was a small building in the garden, and the garden wall made of stones was not very dangerous, but absolutely no one dared to peep here, and there were no stewards and servants here.

Cui Xiang jumped out of the carriage at a very fast speed, walked to the wheel, respectfully helped the old butler down from the wheel, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, father." ”

It turns out that this old steward, who is still hunched at this time, is the real person in charge of the Cui family's gate valve, and the old lady Cui, who is about to turn 100 years old, is the ancestor of the entire Qinghe County!

Old lady Cui waved her hand and said, "Just to see someone, what's so hard." ”

Cui Xiang helped the old lady into the small building. There is a very simple study in the building, the windows on all sides are covered with extremely thick cloth, the autumn light of the outside world can not penetrate in, it is particularly dark, and you can vaguely see that there are six seats along the wall, sitting six old people.

Seeing Old Lady Cui come in, the six Haoshou old men slowly got up and saluted, they moved slowly, not to express their dissatisfaction with waiting for a long time, but because they were indeed too old.

Old lady Cui sat in the circle chair directly above, took the towel that Cui Xiang had scalded with his own hands and covered his face, and then remained silent without saying a word, waiting for the hot air in the towel to seep into his tired pores.

The six old men sat down slowly, waiting in silence without a trace of dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Cui began to wash his face after perming his face, he scrubbed his old face very carefully and hard, and the wrinkles on his face became more profound after the still warm towel wiped it.

Then he leaned back in his chair, his old face completely hidden in the darkness.

An old man said: "You go in person, it really gives enough face to the Shan Sect." ”

Old lady Cui said: "The queen mother, we can afford to offend, can we still afford to offend the Dushan Sect? Moreover, Xuanwei's personal disciples rarely set foot in the red dust, and it is rare for a person to enter the WTO, of course, we have to have a good life, we are inconvenient to go to the capital, since he has come to Qinghe, how can there be a reason not to see it with his own eyes?"

An old man asked suspiciously, "Why don't you hand over the prayer post and go directly to see it?"

"You can't necessarily see people when you hand over prayers, and even if you can see people, you can't see attitudes. ”

"What attitude?"

"The attitude of the Shan Sect. ”

"The attitude of the Dushan Sect was impartial in the past, but since Xu Chen killed Ximen Wang, their attitude is naturally biased towards Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it is impossible to support the Queen Mother. ”

Old lady Cui shook his head and said: "There are many kinds of attitudes, and the ownership of the dragon chair is only one of them. ”

An old man asked suspiciously, "The question now is whether Xu Chen's attitude can represent the attitude of the Dushan Sect. ”
