When Cui Heng first arrived home, he still felt that Cui Xie was still the cowardly big brother who used to play around with his mother and son. But he didn't want him to turn his face, so Cui Xie turned faster, and without a word, he slapped him on his butt, which made him hurt and lose face.
The coachman, who was not in his eyes at first, also turned over and became the steward of his yard. The loyal servant who used to follow him was sent out. Those who took care of him don't know where to go, only a few people who are stupid and clumsy in appearance and sinister in their hearts are staring at him.
They were all found by Cui Liangdong from the outer courtyard and the village. They were all in their twenties and had a background in heavy work. They were strong and loyal. They were not afraid that the second son would get angry, and he could put him on the bed as soon as he stretched out his hand.
Cui Liangdong also eats a cut and grows wiser.
After he ran away once, his monthly payment was deducted for three months. If he made trouble again, how much money did he have enough to deduct? What's more, just because of this Second Young Master's escape, he stayed up all night to write a five thousand-word review, so much that his hair fell out. In order to make up enough words, he even wrote down how his wife was crying, making trouble, and hanging herself at home. He also carefully asked his wife how to deal with it. After all, he collected 5,000 words, which happened to block all Cui Heng's struggles. Living.
Even if he only scolded him in the room by "bitch", in the evening his brother would know and beat his hand with a bamboo board.
His ruthless brother also told him to memorize "The Imperial Letter" and "Daming Law". He said he had to memorize 100 words a day. If he couldn't memorize it, he could only eat porridge, goat's milk, and even a little salt. Jin will not be added. Even if they memorize them, they will torture him, forcibly lock him in the room, and say that he will not be allowed to go out unless he has memorized all the rules.
The door is not allowed to go out, morning and evening can only see the scenery of the courtyard through the window.
At first, he struggled with rage, went on hunger strike and pretended to be sick, and even hit a wall to pretend to die, but unfortunately he didn't succeed. Those entourages are stronger than him, and they are on duty every day, staring at him with a good look - even staring at him to relieve him - he can't find a chance to jump out of the window and ask for help.
In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer, and even the two laws in his hand were good.
Realizing that he had memorized both sets of books, he was so excited that he pulled his neck and shouted, "Come on! Come on! Call my big brother! I'll memorize these two books, and ask him to come and let me go. go out!"
Guanshi Sun laughed outside the door and said, "Second brother, keep your voice down, our son is a prison student, and we have to study in the imperial prison during the day, so I can't come back at this time. The second brother's good deeds, I immediately went to report to the son in the evening and called He handles it."
As soon as Cui Heng heard him speak, the hair all over his body suddenly rose - why is it that Cui Xie is the son of a family of brothers, and he is the second brother? When his mother was still at home, wasn't Cui Xie usually called eldest brother by his family
Cui Xie deliberately made this dog slave who trampled on low and held high to oppress him. When he left the yard, he would find his grandmother and write a letter to his father to complain, and see what happened to him!
He lived like a year on this day, and he wished he could wait until Cui Xie came back and finish reciting these two laws in front of him.
After dinner, Cui Xie came to his yard and asked, "I heard that you have memorized all your books?"
Cui Heng said proudly: "Of course I have memorized it! There is not a single word wrong. If you don't believe me, listen to it: "The Lord and the Minister Travel Together First", in the past, people and ministers were able to travel with the king, and they were loyal to the king. …”
Cui Xie listened to a few sentences and clapped his hands: "It's not bad, can you recite the whole book like this?"
"Of course I can! I know both books, so why do you keep me locked up?"
Cui Heng was very proud, and Cui Xie said: "Since you can memorize it, you shouldn't be afraid of exams, right? I have heavy studies and busy affairs. Practice the test, and if you pass the test, you will be released from this room."
What? Exam yet? Do you really think you are Mr.
Cui Heng still wanted to ridicule him a few times, but he didn't want Cui Xie to leave like this, walking in a hurry, not even giving him a look - it was as if he was some kind of official who was in charge of every day, and he wanted to look down on his little one. People look like.
Cui Heng was unhappy all night, and when he saw the neatly written paper the next day, the uneasiness disappeared.
— replaced by a deep anger and despair.
The papers were half an inch thick, and they were the size of folio sheets of paper, and the title was written on it in a neat pavilion:
"The Imperial Book"
Part one, fill in the blanks:
○The Minister of the Household _____ the left servant _____ the head office _____, the _____ member, the outer _____, and the chief _____, and other officials, so they are arrogant, and they will not be implemented.
The second part, multiple choice questions:
○Which of the following places does not cost more than 20,000 horses per year, you can choose more than one

The third part, noun explanation:

○Food
○ Call out the people
The fourth part, reading comprehension;
The fifth part, short answer questions;
Part VI, Questions and Answers;
The seventh part, on "Ming Xiao";
…
He has been reciting "The Imperial Letter" for an unknown number of days behind closed doors. He thinks he can't be recited, at least he is already reciting it. You feel a little inaccurate in the original text
He threw the paper abruptly and yelled at Steward Sun, "Where's Cui Xie? Why does he test me with something like this? I'll endorse it. You ask him to come over and listen to my endorsement, I won't test it!"
Guanshi Sun raised his eyebrows and said: "Second brother is wrong again, so disrespectful to the eldest brother, but don't blame the little one to turn around and tell the eldest son. Our son is studying, how can we go home and listen to the second brother recite this? The son said that the second brother can finish these questions at the beginning of noon, and if the error is below five questions, I will let you go out of the house."
Cui Heng wished he could tear up this disgusting person's paper, but he didn't go out after being closed for too long, so he could only do the question first with his eyes closed.
In this topic, there is a term explaining "the official family", which tells the story of Ai Zuding, a Zuo Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, who framed and falsely accused his colleagues and officials, and the Taizu sent the imperial censor to verify his guilt. The result was beheading.
He didn't feel anything when he was reciting it, but he lost his mind when writing the paper, and it was only when he wrote this that he was shocked—
His mother seems to have committed this crime, and almost got beheaded. How did the sentence change to exile
He forgot that Cui Xie wrote a letter to save his mother, but he only remembered that Cui Xie caused him to suffer in exile. While writing the paper, he hated Cui Xie for deliberately stabbing him in the heart. The paper was thick and long, and the questions were intricate and weird. It was not something that could be answered after memorizing the book. It was written so that his right arm was about to fall off. It was sore and painful. Xie deliberately embarrassed him.
In fact, Cui Xie didn't care at all, and he didn't have time to embarrass him.
In October, the first batch of jasmine-flavored hydrosols made by Brother Xiaoliang will be mellowed. They inspected the bottle by the bottle, and the taste was indeed good, except that it was slightly lighter, not as good as those foreign flower dew on the market. But there is no jasmine fragrance imported from foreign countries, so this defect is nothing.
Cui Xie tried the taste, and felt that it could be listed on the market, so he ordered someone to order a pot-bellied round bottle with a translucent white porcelain tire. On the bottle is written the large characters of "Jasmine Pure Dew" in ink color, cork cork, and seals the wax shell. color note.
The box of pure dew was also pasted with a colorful painting by Ju Anzhai, and borrowed the Dongfeng of the Three Kingdoms and Five Beauty, and painted a little Joe in plain clothes. The plain white jasmine and the gentle Xiao Qiao in white complement each other very well.
And when the flower dew was ripe, a guy he sent to deliver a letter to Senator Cui also arrived at the Chief Secretary of Yunnan.
He followed a group of people who went to Yunnan to sell medicinal materials. Because he had to go to Sichuan by water when delivering the letter, and then diverted to Yunnan, Cui Xie remembered that there was a big girl Jiao sister who was in Sichuan with her in-laws and her husband. Boxing.
Sister Jiao was born from a concubine, and my aunt died early. She hadn't received a letter from her family for all these years after she was married. Now she saw something from her family and cried hard while holding the letter. After listening to the guy's reply, I realized that the younger brother is in charge of the family now, and I remembered that she was here, so I packed up the gifts, half of them were sent back to Cui's house, and half of them were sent to my father by the messenger.
The gifts given by other officials of the Buzheng Yamen are all in time for the New Year's holiday. Therefore, seeing them on such an inappropriate day, they sent bacon, sausages, clothing and seasonal fruits, and they all felt envious.
Cui Yu himself was not very satisfied.
Those fruits are all worthless, and bacon sausages are also commonly eaten. They are not from the time-honored brands in Liangjing, but from Sichuan. The silk cloth was also produced in the middle of Shu. There were only ten or so pieces of silk. It was only enough for clothes, but not enough for gifts. It would be shameful to take it out.
Why do you come all the way from Beijing to give gifts, and they all look like things from Sichuan
At this time, he was inviting Wu Xin, the political envoy of the right, to speak in his hall. He carried baskets of gifts into the yard. He couldn't pretend that nothing happened. In the same way, he said with a smile: "I hope you don't turn away from some small things. These are all brought from home, and I will send them to the two Zuo Buzheng adults and your colleagues later."
Wu You Buzheng smiled and said, "Since Mr. Cui has something to do at home, I won't bother you."
Cui Ju hurriedly kept him: "It's just that some things were sent from home, how can it be considered a problem? Sit down, my lord, I will tell these ignorant things to go down first."
But he didn't even think about it. Those who had winks and were smart and able to work in the family asked him to take office in Yunnan. How many of the rest were loyal and considerate to him
Originally, when he was at home, the man who delivered the letter had never even entered the gate of the house, and was full of the eldest son who made their rouge shop prosperous. Afraid of delaying the delivery of the letter, he hurriedly straightened his neck and shouted, "Master, little one. There is still a letter yet to come out! The eldest son instructed the youngest to bring this letter and the homework of several young masters over the past few months to the adults, so that the master can have time to see their progress."
He quickly took out a thick packet of letters from his arms, and put them in Senator Cui's hand: "Here are the letters and ordinary coursework of our three young masters, waiting for the master to correct and instruct."
Wu Wei looked at the thick family letter like a brick, and couldn't help but feel a little envious: "Ling Lang in Master Cui's family is filial, but he is not like my incompetent boy, who can't get a few words from him for a year."
He was also a jinshi, ten years younger than Senator Cui, but his official career was much smoother. He was released as the inspector of Yunnan after he came out of the Metropolitan Court. , it is good to be able to write letters, and I say this purely out of politeness.
Counselor Cui also understood, he sent the ignorant servant down, took the letter and said, "Xiaguan's family also has a few children making fun of it, and there is no adult to control it. The woman came home..." He shook his head, revealing a look of regret: "It's also because I'm busy with official business, and I rarely manage the house. If a wise and righteous person is in charge of the housework, how can such an ignorant servant come out. be disgraced."
Wu Wei smiled slightly and did not answer his words.
He hadn't been back to Beijing for many years, but there were many good teachers of the same year in Beijing, and the news was not blocked. From the first day Cui Ju came, he knew that this Zuo senator had violated the law with his wife, and he had insulted the first and second ministers of the cabinet. He can still move to Yunnan to the left for the council, instead of the end of the crown and the idle life, thanks to the birth of a good son.
Originally, he saw that the council was from the Ministry of Household, and when he arrived in Yunnan, he took care of the local fish scale book. Hearing these few words today, it really is...
If a child is confused and ignorant, and there is no one in charge of the family, there is no need to say the meaning behind it.
In Yunnan Province, they went up to Zuo Buzheng He Jing, down to the chief officials of various prefectures and counties, experienced, passed judgments, learned politics and the like, but there are indeed many officials who brought their entire families to take office. Although he didn't know whose idea this councilor was playing, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing and be a matchmaker lobbyist.
He shook his head and smiled and said, "Counselor Cui doesn't need to be humble. If your little sanyuan chief Ling Lang is still ignorant, my dog should be ashamed to death. You just left the capital. After all, it's the time when you miss home the most, so hurry up and read the letter. Well, I still have official business, so I'll go first."
Cui Ju wanted to keep him for a while, only saying that "the letter from the child is nothing serious", but he still couldn't keep it. Wu Wei didn't take the Cui family's boxing ceremony, which had a Sichuan atmosphere, and turned around and left. He couldn't force it, so he had to ask someone to divide the gifts and send them to Shangguan everywhere, and read the family letter with a breath of anger.
Even from his fault-finding point of view, Choi Xie's home writing is not bad.
Although the content is nothing more than commonplace, the sentences are brief and straightforward, but every word shows the truth. As far away as he left home, the Xu family came to ask for a dowry, and Cui Xie gave them everything in the family; as close as the second son closed his door to study after returning home from exile; when he was young, the family had no money to make new clothes and furniture; Because the donation to the nursing home after selling the South Goods Shop was canonized by the local county magistrate...
Written clearly and directly, in a word - poor. I was so poor that I had no money to give a boxing gift, so I was so poor that I could only reach out to Senator Cui for money to spend this New Year.
Cui Ju originally saw that although he wrote about poverty in his article, he revealed a gentleman's spirit of being poor and happy, and thought the article was good. When I saw the picture on the back, I was dizzy, and the word "I want money" was written out.
He travels alone, where does he not want money? Wouldn't it cost money to serve two concubines by their side? There is no serious person in his family who presides over the central feeder, and he wants to marry a relative of Shangguan's family. Don't you want to prepare a betrothal gift or thank the media for the money
He couldn't buy property in Yunnan, and he only relied on Beijing to send money. Now Beijing is looking for him to get up. What do those shop and Zhuangzi people eat!
He called the messenger and inquired about the income of the family. The guy didn't know anything about the family at all, and he refused to tell him the truth about the shop. He only cried about the difficulties after Senator Cui took the money away, and said how much money was on the account for Mrs. Xu to take it to usury. Later, the eldest son was relieved of his kindness, and there were a lot of holes in the store that had not yet been filled.
Senator Cui didn't care about these things at home before, and only heard the word "no money" and felt annoyed. He thought to himself that he knew a little more about family affairs, so he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Cui Xie: The letter instructed him to manage his younger brothers and sisters well, save money, and then carefully train the family shopkeeper to remove all the stupid ones and replace them. On the smart, it is good to teach the family industry more income.
This year, the money he brought from home is enough, and the marriage cannot be negotiated in a short time, so he is not in a hurry to ask for money, and it will not be like this next year.
He actually wrote a letter from the family, with two hundred taels of silver attached, and asked someone to pack up some bacon, ham, and dry goods that he had seen at home, and picked up a few unused items from the new gifts his daughter sent. , sighed and called someone to take it back.
The guy who didn't raise his eyes asked again, "The little one has to leave Sichuan for the return trip. Does the master have any letters or things to bring to the eldest girl's house?"
Cui Ju snorted coldly, thinking about "what is there to communicate with a family of people"... He could only think about it, but because his son sent a letter to his daughter first, and they sent a gift to his daughter, he had to endure the pain and spend the money. In one stroke, I wrote a letter to teach my daughter to be gentle and virtuous, and to be filial to her in-laws.
The man brought the money and food and took the boat back. On the road, he hired a sturdy green donkey and hurried to the ground. He returned to Beijing in November, and brought the letter and money from Counselor Cui, as well as some less food. To Choi Sub.
Cui Xie took this letter as if the imperial censor took the sword of Shang Fang—although he used to manage what he wanted in this family, but now that he has a name, he is more assertive.
Those who were looking forward to his father's return to support him should be completely honest when they saw this letter.
