Feng Zhen nodded with a smile, turned around and stretched out his hand to the child.
"Go to Uncle's place."
Feng Zhen has a good relationship with the child. When he said this, the child hurriedly stretched out his arms to him with a smile.
"Fengshu millet." He called out crisply.
The voice that fell to the Cui Clan's patriarch's ears was tantamount to the sound of heaven, but he could only watch his son fall into Feng Zhen's arms.
"The old slave pleaded guilty to the master and failed to protect the lady."
Before Cui's patriarch could put away his sour heart, two kind-hearted domestic servants got down from the carriage behind and knelt down in front of him.
He knew the two, one was the housekeeper who was dowry by his first wife, and the other was the maid, who was later chosen as the child's wet nurse.
"Natural and man-made disasters, how can mortals predict it? It's not easy to survive in Beijing. Sanniang...she is blessed after all..." Looking at the simple outfits and slightly vicissitudes of the faces of the two, I thought of the child's pink tenderness. With the tender face and the fine cotton clothes on his body, the patriarch Cui couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said, "Thanks to the two of you being loyal and protecting the Lord, there will be a day when Cui Mou and his relatives recognize each other."
Feng Zhen saw the Cui clan chief helping the two loyal servants up with his own hands, and his impression of this person was a little better.
Thinking of this, he teased the child in his arms and said, "That's your dad over there."
The child's eyes rolled in a circle, and he giggled and called out "Daddy", which made the Patriarch Cui soften his heart.
It's not that the Cui clan did not doubt the child's bloodline, but when the older generation saw the child's face, the doubts subsided.
It turned out that this child was born so well that it was six points similar to his father's childhood.
The mother of the patriarch of the Cui clan looked at him and kept calling out to her dearest.
When the child and two loyal servants were led to the backyard, Feng Zhen restrained his smile and glanced at Cui Family Master meaningfully.
Seeing this, the Cui clan chief invited Feng Zhen to the main hall in a low voice.
"Feng engaged, please!"
Cui Clan has lived in Chongzhou for a long time, and made a fortune by doing business between Northern Xinjiang and Dongqing. With the money from both sides, he can still stand to this day. He can't do it without a wink. Now it seems that this young Cui Clan Patriarch is really a fox. , not only winked, but also smart.
Feng Zhen thought that he had to hint, so that the other party could understand.
Looking at it now, he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Feng Zhen stepped into the seat, "Has Patriarch Cui heard of the major events that have happened in the past few days?"
Since the Cui family's head is so good, Feng Zhen doesn't beat around the bush.
The Cui family's main screen retreated left and right, and pondered, "I heard a little."
Where is it only slightly heard
His ears were going to be bombarded with deafness.
After staying with the master for a long time, Fengzhen likes to play straight ball more and more.
"Since I've heard of it, what does Cui Patriarch think about this?"
Cui Patriarch hesitated for a while, before saying, "I have some humble opinions, I'm afraid that speaking out will offend the prefectural shepherd."
"Now that there is no one in private, Cui Family Master will say whatever he wants. My Master has always been generous and virtuous, and accepts good words."
Cui Patriarch sighed, "Since more than ten years ago, foreign races in the northern Xinjiang have taken advantage of the political turmoil in Dongqing to raid Shangyu County in Chongzhou, taking captives and killing countless people. Although Mr. Yuanjing wants to return to Sancheng, there are still Sancheng. In the hands of Northern Xinjiang, it has not yet been returned. After the expansion of Northern Xinjiang, heavy troops were dispatched to demonstrate at the border, which caused panic among the people of Chongzhou. It is also clear. The development of the current situation is by no means an overnight effort. Although the situation has improved after Liuzhou Mu took office, but... it is still a symptom of a cure... "
Feng Zhen listened carefully, and his expression did not show any displeasure or anger, which gave Cui Patriarch a little more courage.
He euphemistically said, "Chongzhou gentry has become a climate, and Liuzhou Mu wants to take it easy. It's not incomprehensible, and after a few years, I have seen some benefits, but... It's a tumor that can only be removed by heavy medicine now! It took a lot of hard work, but the forces in Chongzhou have become a foregone conclusion.
Although Liu She didn't like Cui's grass that fell on both sides, the Cui family had a good sense of Liu She.
Without Liu She's meticulous governance and multi-faceted dealings, the situation in Chongzhou would only get worse, and it might even give birth to folk cult groups such as the Tsing Yi Army or the Red Lotus Sect. It's a pity that Liu She is an external force after all, and he likes Xu Xutuzhi's governance methods. He has been dormant all the time, trying to gather all his strength from the gentry, but the speed of effect is too slow.
Interestingly, Liu She, who likes Xu Xutuzhi, has a grumpy daughter who will give the Chongzhou nobility a slap in the face as soon as she comes over.
He then thought about Jiang Pengji's contact with him in advance, and Cui Patriarch could smell something keenly.
He felt that if he seized this opportunity, he might be able to push his family further up.
With such thoughts, he was so excited when he saw Fengzhen. The son was important, but the future of the family was even more important.
Now that he talked, he felt that his guess was right.
Jiang Pengji has the intention to suppress other nobles in Chongzhou, but she has no intention of offending death, so she must support the confidants who are close to her.
Otherwise, it is impossible to appease the large and small gentry forces in Chongzhou.
Just thinking about it, Cui Family Master heard Feng Zhen say, "Because of this, this world needs a person like our Lord who is dedicated to the people and not afraid of power to stand up. What happened a few days ago was just an appetizer. Cui Family Head thinks , what kind of person is my lord?"
"Young and talented, with extraordinary courage, no less than his father."
He did not say superfluous praise, so as not to appear too flattering.
"My main intention is to rectify Chongzhou, but the resistance I encountered is too great, and there are always people who are pretentious or stupid trying to stop it."
"It's true." Cui Patriarch replied, "I also thought about helping the people, but I can't help it. I don't say that people are alone, there are still old and young children in the family who need to take care of them, and I can't do my best. Now there is Liuzhou Mu. The people of Chongzhou have hope.”
Feng Zhen said with admiration, "Patriarch Cui is also a man of temperament. It is not easy to have such a heart."
"Ashamed, ashamed, it still didn't help."
Feng Zhen's words changed, and he said, "I really think that Cui family master is a smart person, and he should understand how to act in order to follow the general trend, so I won't say much. My master and Ling Lang also have a fate, and when it comes to the relationship, it is naturally You are getting closer..."
Cui Patriarch heard Yu Sheng with a smile on his face.
He also heard that his first wife protected the child and was buried under the rubble. Thanks to Jiang Pengji's full assistance, the child could be saved.
Jiang Pengji was the savior of their Cui family, and also the savior of his eldest son.
If Cui Shi wanted to use this excuse to repay Jiang Pengji's kindness and reciprocity, others would be blameless.
"Speaking of which, my son hasn't given a name yet. I thought to myself, since he has such a magical relationship with Zhou Mu, he would like to ask Zhou Mu to give him a name and spread it out. That is also a legendary story. I don't expect anything else. , I just hope that this child can have a smooth life in the future."
