After the forty board hit, Cui Heng's ass was swollen high, and the skin was bleeding.
Cui Xie instructed Steward Sun to bring him back to the yard, ask the medical officer to treat him, and let the old lady go back to the room to rest first, and accompany Mrs. Qin and cousin Liu to dinner.
Although they don’t have good dry goods such as ginseng, abalone, wing belly, etc., they are all fashionable Beijing-Chinese dishes, such as mutton, mutton soup, duck and goose. There are also the bacon, ham, scallops and other items that the Xie family sent in the past, together with the sorghum wine steamed by his family, it is also a very eye-catching banquet.
Cousin Liu could drink at a young age. He sipped his wine and said, "This is better than the ale we drink at the border. I don't think there are such good things in Beijing. We have to bring some back when we go back. "
This wine is brewed and steamed by the Xie family, not something bought from outside. A glimmer of pride flashed in Cui Xie's eyes, he lowered his eyes to hide the past, and replied with a smile: "This is the wine brewed at home by a good friend of mine, and it is better than the wine from many shops outside. I'm afraid it won't be enough for so many uncles and cousins in the grandfather's house, tomorrow I'll ask someone to go to his house and ask for a few jars to bring to you."
Mrs. Qin said, "Why do you want him to give it away for nothing? We also brought a lot of money back this trip, so I asked his family if it would be more convenient to buy more jars."
Cui Xie smiled and shook his head: "That's Qianhu of Jinyiwei Qianhu, and he brews and eats his own wine, so he definitely won't ask us for money. My aunt and cousin don't need to think about it, I will go back and ask him personally. Ask for some wine, he won't be stingy."
Thousands of households with real power in Jinyiwei...
Cousin Liu couldn't help but take a deep breath—Jingguan really has a wide network of contacts! It's no wonder that with people like theirs, with such a temper, when my aunt had a hard time, she only came to the door to argue once, and she didn't know what happened to Master Cui Gu.
Aunt Qin also asked in surprise, "I never heard that your father recognized Jin Yiwei. When did he want to walk with Jin Yiwei?" If there is such a backer behind him, then he would like to ask the third brother to find someone in Yunnan to teach him a lesson. It's not easy anymore, who knows what step Jin Yiwei can find out...
Cui Xie explained with a smile: "My father is a clear-headed person, so naturally he doesn't recognize Jin Yiwei. I was involved in a case by chance, and I was able to recognize him after being rescued by Xie Qianhu. Later, the case of Xu's false accusation against officials He also tried, and I am also a witness, and I have met him a few times. He likes the paintings and calligraphy I give him, and he often returns some gifts, finally... some friendship. "
How could such a child befriend the adults of Jin Yiwei? When Mrs. Qin first heard this, her eyes widened. Later, when she thought of his mother-child picture, she felt it was a matter of course. She nodded and sighed, "Your painting is really good. Anyone who has a vision must like it."
Liu Yunshou didn't care about painting and calligraphy, looked at Cui Xie up and down, and asked with sparkling eyes, "I remembered, just when I was about to beat that kid, cousin, you stopped me - that step and the shelf that raised his hand seemed to be in a military camp. The training came from that Qianhu, right? I haven't seen the martial arts of Jingying yet, can my cousin practice with me?"
Mrs. Qin slapped him on the head and said angrily: "what a nonsense, your cousin is a gentleman, how can you compare with this stupid boy who has only known martial arts since he was a child."
Cui Xie just stopped him and knew that he was powerful and far superior to himself, and shook his head with a smile: "I met the son of the commander of King Xingtun Youwei when I returned to my hometown two years ago, and learned martial arts from his family. It should be similar to that of my grandfather’s family, right? It’s not a martial art unique to Jinyiwei. However, I still have swords and bamboo poles at home. My cousin wants to practice martial arts and is not afraid of not having a sword, but the yard is small, so it’s not easy to dance.”
Liu Yunshou exclaimed in surprise: "Can you really practice? Before I came, I thought that you literati have big rules. This is not allowed or that. You can only sit at home and study. Then I will find you to practice martial arts tomorrow morning?"
Cui Xie smiled and said, "There are a lot of people in my courtyard. I asked people to move the weapon racks to the guest courtyard. I will practice with you for a while before going to school tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Qin took her nephew to read a few words, telling him not to disturb Cui Xie's study, and then said to Cui Xie, "don't spoil him too much, we're here just to see if you're doing well, I'm afraid we won't stay for long. , don't ask him to toss these days. In two days, we will go back to our hometown to sweep the graves to see the ancestors of the old Liu family and your mother. We will rush home a few years ago. Next time, we will ask your cousin to come over. Live a while."
Although Cui Xie met the Liu family for the first time and had no real kinship with them, he somehow felt that his heart was open and happy when dealing with them.
He got up and gave a salute, and said sincerely, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back by the end of the year. I also asked my aunt and cousin to look at my mother's tomb for me. My nephew would like to thank you."
Mrs. Qin hugged him and said affectionately, "As a sister-in-law, I will naturally go to see my aunt. Brother Shou should also kowtow to his aunt on behalf of his brothers. What do you have to thank for this child?"
Yulin is more than 1,000 miles away from Beijing. It would take them about 20 days to travel by car, and they had to go back to their hometown again, so they really didn’t have much time to stay in Beijing. Cui Xie woke up early these few days to practice martial arts with his cousin. He didn't make up lessons after he left the Chinese school. He took the time to accompany his aunt and cousin around the capital. The Three Kingdoms play and Gao Su's popular "Journey to the West".
Mrs. Qin bought a lot of fashionable clothes and jewelry, and also bought rouge powder, eyeliner cream, new peach blossom eye shadow and purple powder eye shadow from the rouge shop of the Cui family. During the checkout, Cui Tingben said that he would not want the money from his in-laws, but told her to force it over to take care of his nephew's business.
Cousin Liu is not very interested in beauty, but loves watching dramas. After watching "Journey to the West", he was excited for an afternoon. He used a bamboo pole to play with sticks in the yard. In the evening, he went to Cui Xie's yard to fight him. practice.
At that time, Cui Xie was in a daze because of the upcoming monthly exam, and he was working on the "Da Gao" paper for Cui Heng to decompress. Cousin Liu rushed in from the outside and excitedly called him out to practice martial arts with a stick. He paused in fright, and a dot of ink pressed heavily on the paper.
Liu Yunshou was also startled. Looking at the conspicuous ink dot on the scroll, he asked worriedly, "Have I broken your article? I didn't mean it, cousin, don't be angry..."
Looking down, that article is not actually an article, but something that resembles Tiejing Moyi instead of Tiejing Moyi, and seems to have a title that is not a title of Shiwen. Some questions are left blank, some have a few words attached to the end, and some questions have a blank piece of paper behind them, as if they were reserved for answering questions...
He asked curiously, "What kind of exam paper is this? Could it be that my cousin gave questions to the students of Guozijian? This is very promising!"
Cui Xie said with a smile: "How can this happen? It's just because my brother is disobedient and asks him to have nothing to do with some questions. But this paper is quite useful. Originally, Brother Heng was very noisy, and he only did more than two fingers. The thick papers are honest, it's just that he saw a lot of people on the day you came, so he wanted to make trouble again."
Cousin Liu looked at the topic that was like a book from heaven, and the anger in his heart that he wanted to go to the sky like Sun Xingzhe also fell, looked at his cousin in awe, and smiled dryly: "Cousin, you are really amazing, on this topic. I recognize all the characters, but I can't even answer them. You can write these questions..."
He used to have a feeling of pity for Cui Xie, but after reading this whole topic, he put it on himself, and felt that his stature was extraordinarily powerful, so he hurriedly told him: "Don't dare let the aunt see this question! The adults in the family all think that all the brothers of our generation have entered the big camp, and they wish there was someone who took the imperial examination. If they knew that you could regulate people like this, and they wanted me to change to the imperial examination, I would be finished! "
He even hid the bamboo poles behind his back, and his feet fell left and right, as if he was back in front of the instructor in the school.
Cui Xie can understand this kind of elementary school student's fear when he sees Mr. Tong. He put away the papers, took out a few selected Shuhan hero notebooks to him, asked him what kind of dress he liked, and gave him a few outfits. and cousins.
Liu Yunshou scratched his hair and said in a low voice, "Auntie said that I won't ask you to ask for this or that. You are a child, you don't have a lot of money, and you can't use the things at home..."
Cui Xie looked at Zhao Yun's note, and chuckled lightly, "I'm already sixteen, this family is what I belong to now, it's no longer a child... You stay here and take a size, then come back to me. Ask someone to ask your cousins to make a new style of clothes for you that is not available in Beijing. You can also ask a tailor to make it when you go to the grave with your aunt, and then help me take it back to my grandmother’s house.”
Cousin Liu was young, and his family was coddled and grew up. He didn't know much about the livelihood of the adults. After a while, he couldn't help but choose a white martial arts robe.
There is no armor, this Cui family really can't get it out.
Cui Xie measured his body, and asked the shopkeeper Ji to ask the size of the four cousins. From the hard disk-war-ancient war-wetland local war, he found a set of white clothes fluttering and veil for heroes. He stayed up all night to draw three views, and asked Cui Liangdong to ask Yu tailor to sew them according to the new style.
Tailor Yu took the picture and looked at it for a while, imagining what it would look like, and happily agreed, and then pretended to complain to Cui Liangdong: "I thought Mr. Cui was busy with personnel and forgot about our shop. The first two times that Although the clothes are good, but the big boss looks outside, isn't it all done like that now? I'm a small family, and I don't have as many customers as our big store. "
Cui Liangdong said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is joking. Didn't your family open a new shop in Nanguan? Our son is also worried that you have so many guests now that you won't be able to make clothes for our family in time."
If you push someone else's back, you can't push the new designer's back. The tailor Yu promised to send him out, and when he turned around, he asked his apprentices to study how to make patterns and sew, and he would launch new products in a hurry.
Mrs. Qin lived in the Cui Mansion for four or five days, and she was going to bring her nephew back to the hometown to clean up the sacrifices. They had to stay in their hometown of Lulongwei for two days, and they had to go to Qian'an to see the tomb of their aunt, and it would take at least five or six days to go back and forth. Cui Xie asked for a morning leave to send the Liu family back to their hometown, together with the shopkeeper Ji, and asked Cui Qi to put it on the store temporarily.
After school that night, he didn't stay at school for tutoring, but ran to Xie Ying's house in an open and fair way.
After his younger brother came back, for fear that the factory guards would stare at them and break their relationship, the two never had a suitable date for a date. This trip to Xie's house to ask for wine is justified!
Xie Jiamenzi was a little surprised to see him, and quickly took his post and took him into the flower hall to wait. After a while, Xie Ying came over from the main courtyard, and stood at the entrance of the hall and watched him for a while, as if he had not seen enough before entering the door and asking, "Why did Brother Cui Xian suddenly come to my house?"
He was standing there silently before, but he walked very fast. Just as Cui Xie stood up and put on a salutation air, he asked him to catch him before he reached his chest. The ten fingers of the two of them involuntarily stirred together, causing the wide sleeves of the Confucian clothes to fall down to cover them, and they walked back to their seats holding each other.
The servant of the Xie family came up with new tea and snacks. Cui Xie held the teacup, rubbed his fingertips lightly on the side of the cup, looked at Xie Ying as if he was about to scratch his hand, and said with a smile, "My aunt and cousin came to see me from the border two days ago, During dinner, I praised Brother Xie's home-brewed wine, I didn't have the cheek to ask for a few jars and bring them home."
Xie Ying looked down at his fingers, took a sip of tea slowly, and said with a smile: "It's just a few jars of wine, just send someone to get it, why do you need to go there yourself? It's winter now, outside The sky is cloudy and cold, but it’s not the time to go out in the spring and autumn.”
He instructed the attendant to add more braziers, and then take a hand stove to cover his hands. After waiting for everyone to go out, he touched Cui Xie's cold-white cheek and said, "Why don't you know how to take care of yourself like this? There are several roads in Beijing where ice is frozen, in case the car slips and hurts you. ?"
Cui Xie rubbed his face on his palm and said with a smile, "Isn't the colder the colder the more sincere I appear? I didn't really come here for the sake, but mostly to meet you."
Xie Ying's chest felt warm, his palms were hot, and Cui Xie's cheeks slowly warmed up. These days, because I don't know if there are factory guards staring at the Cui family, the two of them can't feel at ease on a date, and he is reluctant to miss this rare meeting, so he simply put his other hand on it, rubbed Cui Xie's face and said, "Also It's been inconvenient for a while, and next time I get a chance, I'll go to your house too."
Cui Xie grabbed his hand and sighed, "I don't know when I can go down next time, but Gao Baihu also asked the shopkeeper Ji to talk to me, saying that when the palace was rehearsing a new play, he would borrow the shopkeeper Ji to help him design it. The effect?"
Xie Ying knew his abilities well. The Three Kingdoms and Five American elections and the Journey to the West were all the way he came up with the arrangement, but he just handed it over to others when he started. Gao Su asked the shopkeeper Ji to pass the news, or did he just have to take up his time to do these things
He was already busy with his studies, and he had to do these chores again, so don't burn yourself out, right
Xie Ying couldn't help frowning, holding his face and persuading: "The drama in the palace is no better than the outside, and the moves are made with great skill. Although the cigarettes have never flowed all over the place, they have also set off fireworks on the stage to show the miracles. Yes, it looks like an immortal method. Those Jiaofang divisions can do a lot, you just give them a direction and ask them to figure it out for themselves. When it’s easy to take advantage of the emptiness, it’s important to take care of your own body.”
Cui Xie could only look at him, and he heard his words clearly, and nodded with a smile: "I won't go to see him, nor will I stare at their arrangement, where will I be tired? If the script is given to me, I will write a proposal and let them do whatever they want."
Xie Ying's face slowly approached, he kissed him between the eyebrows, and whispered to frighten him: "You should take care of yourself, don't run around in these cold days. If you are really tired, I will take you to Zhuangzi. Going to recuperate, you won't be allowed to go out all winter..."
His breath was blowing between Cui Xie's brows, and it was so itchy that he couldn't help but tilt his face back, his whole body shuddered. He wanted to guarantee that he would not get sick, so Xie Ying's lips pressed down, blocking his guarantee back.
He swallowed all the words that twitched on the tip of his tongue, turning into a deep, lingering sigh.
