The Zhang brothers didn’t know that the reward they were asking for was exactly what Mr. Cui wanted most. When they were finished, they were a little guilty when they remembered that Mr. Strictly ordered them not to ask the sage for rewards. Mr mention.
Cui Xie only saw them enter the palace once, and they suddenly became obedient. There was no need for anyone to urge them to write the hajj records. The brothers both sat in the room and wrote more than 300 words, thinking they understood their relatives. I was very pleased with their responsibility and mission, so I took them to the village of Xie Zhenfu's house to play on the New Year's Day holiday.
However, Cui Heng and Cui He wanted to take the path of starting a career. They didn't have the life to play every day. They let their elder brothers stay at home and go to Mr. Lu's house to study every morning and evening.
Lu Boshan has already brought his wife and children back to Beijing. His newly leased house is outside Nanguan, the place is cheap, and the yard is about the size of Cui's house. There are also two boys studying in the family, the older one is about the same age as Sister Yun, and the younger one is in his early ten years. There is also an eldest son in his hometown, but it is inconvenient to go to Beijing because he has to take the exam for a boy, and he lives at home with his grandparents and aunt and uncle.
When the two children of the Cui family entered the Lu family, it was like having two little Mr. Lu as apprentices. They were the same all day long, the son said Shiyun, and they were not as good as the days when they were under the elder brother. At least the family can read a leisure book occasionally. The Lu family doesn't even have the concept of a leisure book. When the sons of Lu don't read the Four Books and Five Classics, they only read some Chinese literature and art, and they don't even touch the travelogue prose of the ancients.
After spending a few days with the Lu family brothers, Cui Heng's mind has also been sublimated, and his heart that was slightly impetuous because of getting along with the two nephews who do not need to take scientific exams has also calmed down. He doesn't want to think about his father's shady prison anymore, and he doesn't want to think about the life of a scoundrel like when he was a child.
He is two years younger than his brother, and he is also a young man of seventeen or eighteen. Now he can only live with the sages and sages, and he is lonely and hard to bear. Nearly all the scholars from their neighbors are married; Sister Yun is also picking people from her eldest brother’s classmates and children of the same year; even Cui Qi’s servant, I heard that his father told him about a family in the country. daughter! The girl's family didn't pick anything. As long as the champion was the officiant, she would send her daughter to Beijing to get married in March this year.
He actually envied Cui Qi and envied him having a good father who was willing to kiss him.
His father, who is far away in Yunnan, is afraid that he will not care about his marriage.
Don't talk about him, what about his promising champion brother? Since he was admitted to the top spot last year, Yunnan has sent a letter from his fief, he will be betrothed for a while, and he will not be allowed to marry for a while, coming and going, plus there are some supernatural things happening at the ancestral grave, making the big brother so You can't get married even when you are old... Maybe you won't be able to get married in your whole life.
Cui Heng was horrified when he thought about it. In contrast, Cui Xie taught him every day, "I won't give you a kiss if I don't get a good grade", "I don't have the face to ask someone to marry my daughter to a playboy" and so on, but I will leave it to him. a bit hopeful.
If his own mother didn't do anything like that, he might still be living a foolish life under the doting of his parents, instead of being like now, with a mother as if he had no mother, as if he had a father as if he had no father, only one who didn't kiss much in the past His brother became his only support.
Recalling the first half of his life, he suddenly remembered: After the new emperor ascended the throne last year, the world was amnesty, and his biological mother Xu should also be within the scope of the amnesty. It is almost time to go home now? His eldest brother asked someone to send Xiao Haijing to serve his mother. If they returned to the capital, why didn't they send him a letter
When he didn't want to, he didn't want to, and suddenly remembered this, his eyebrows were burning, he couldn't wait for a moment, and he immediately forced the family who served him to go to Xu's house to ask questions.
In the past half year, he studied hard and changed his face. Cui Xie no longer asked people to treat him as a prisoner, and his family was willing to do some trivial matters. A chief who often went out of the mansion took his letters and the monthly money he had saved to the Xu mansion, and asked if Mrs. Xu was going home, and wanted to bring something to her.
The door of the Xu family only opened a crack, and the door was not even allowed to enter. The people inside said coldly, "The old man said, there are no women who break the law in the Xu family, you are in the wrong place!"
The door slammed shut, ruthlessly rushing the Cui family back, and he also knocked on Cui Heng's heart, making him restless, and hurriedly asked Cui Liangdong to arrange for someone to go to the Beijing Tzu Chi Institute and other places to find someone.
Cui Liangdong agreed in front of the second young master, but he did not dare to take the Xu family back on his own.
The uncle of the Cui family was at Xie Zhenfu's winery with two apprentices enjoying the snow and eating wine. Xie Zhenfu invited a famous female first to sing in the hall. The lyrics of the song were edited and adapted by the artists according to the two Zhang Guojiu's articles. They only slightly modified the incompatible words, added rhymes, and sang it with every word and bead, which improved the level of the article a lot.
Brother Zhang Heling was fascinated and sighed at how there is such a great talent in the world, who can compose a tune that stops the clouds and surrounds the beams in any composition. In addition to their sighs, the two of them were even more sympathetic. Without being urged by their husband, they came up with a new article in front of Baixuehong Furnace.
Mr. Cui was very grateful, he poured Xie Zhen a glass of wine, handed it to him and said, "My two disciples have never written articles so consciously today, it's all a good way that Brother Xie thought to inspire them, Cui must A cup of thanks, brother, and thank you for your hard work for the disciples."
Lord Xie said with a smile: "It took me a lot of thought to come up with this method. Brother Cui Xian, I will drink this glass of wine unceremoniously."
When he took the wine glass, his fingers circled around Cui Xie's hand covertly, and he took the wine and drank it. Cui Xie filled the two of them with a glass, and he took a piece of meat to drink, while eating and watching the two disciples who were racking their brains to write an essay.
Writing an article and changing it into a tune and singing is almost a little bit, so it’s better to write the lyrics directly. Go back and lead the two children to meet the master, and ask Mr. Li to change his enthusiasm for teaching poetry... It would be better to let him go by the way.
The two chatted about how to educate their children while eating wine. Xie Ying also said: "I have been with my virtuous brother for a long time, and we have shown each other with sincerity. It is not polite to you. That nephew in my hometown is also ten years old this year, so he should go to martial arts school. At his age, I was about to ask an order to send him to the Beijing martial arts school. Apart from practicing martial arts, I also wanted to ask him to study with his virtuous brother. If I could ask him to be a rank-and-file scholar and change the style of our Xie family, I would also be grateful. Endless."
Cui Xie had long heard that he had a cousin and a nephew who were going to Beijing. When they did, Xie Ying would be able to move to the garden two blocks away from his home.
Thinking of the days when I can go to Xie's house for a drink in the future, my heart is like a cat scratching it, and I nod again and again: "Brother Xie's nephew is like my nephew, so one day my nephew enters Beijing, also called It's just that he lives in my house, and it's convenient for Brother Xie to visit him."
Xie Ying replied with a smile: "It's our Xie family's honor to have my nephew entrusted to the champion. In the future, he will either stay at your house, or go to class sooner or later. I will always disturb my brother and ask you about his How's the class going?"
Cui Xie smiled reservedly and nodded, "I don't know what my future disciple is called, and what book did he read at home?"
Xie Ying said: "My name is Xie Bin, and I am a gentleman. When my late father passed away and I was not able to take up the position of a thousand households, there was a period of turmoil in the family, and the family property was almost taken away by several uncles. Thanks to my third uncle , It was Brother Bin's grandfather who gave up his family wealth to manage for me, so that I could take up the post smoothly. There was only one only son in the third uncle's family, and Caijiguan died of illness. Leaving the cousin-in-law and brother Bin, their orphans and widowed mothers..."
He sighed lightly: "My cousin is chaste and honest. She originally wanted to be filial to her cousin, uncles and aunts, but she was afraid that her uncle and sister-in-law would harm her, so she didn't want to go to Beijing to rely on me. But brother Bin is growing like a day. For the sake of my son's future, I am finally willing to bring my son to Beijing."
After listening to his story, Cui Xie frowned, with a hint of anger in his eyes, pressing his throat and asking, "They bully you? How many uncles in your family dare to rob your property, how can we Jinyiwei people be robbed for nothing? Now? They have violated the Great Ming Law, wait, I also have the right to supervise, such an unfair thing has to be taken care of!"
He couldn't hold back his anger. Thinking about the age when Xie Ying lost his father, he was so soft, pitiful and helpless... He was almost bullied to death!
If he can't even cure people who bully his own man, what's the use of being an official
It's better to go home and get married!
He got up in anger, Xie Ying immediately turned over to grab him, pressed hard on the table, and said in a low voice, "Those are all things in the past, can I still deal with them after I take up the job? It's still messy, and I can't let Brother Bin and his mother live in their hometown for a few years."
He has suffered from the loss of his relatives himself, and only then did he know that the more his relatives hurt people, the more people will have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. When I first saw Cui Xie, his clothes were bloody and his breath was weak. If he had not moved a little pity at that time, and had given medicine and extended medical treatment, they would definitely not be today.
There's even a good chance that Choi Sub won't live to this day.
He held Cui Xie's hand and sighed, "Fortunately, I met you at that time, and I was able to help you. Fortunately, I gave you a look at your house when I asked you to give me a gift, and told you to keep me in your heart." If he hadn't been interested at that time, how could he have drawn such a realistic horse-riding portrait
Cui Xie felt a little warm in his heart, he sat back down with his strength, swallowed his chest reluctantly, and sighed, "You are so soft-hearted and tolerant, you can easily be bullied."
In this life, except for one Cui Xie, no one has ever said that he is soft-hearted and tolerant, and few who have bullied him can continue to live a peaceful life.
Xie Ying didn't tell the truth, only Cui Xie poured a glass of wine, held the cup in both hands to toast him, and said with a smile, "I will entrust my seven-foot body to Master Cui, and I will rely on you to protect me."
Master Cui was so drunk that he drank the drink in one gulp and said sincerely, "Brother Xie's business will be Cui Mou's business in the future, you are welcome."
The two were comforting each other with their old sorrows, but the Cui family came to the family to report urgently, saying that the second son of the family begged Lord Cui to help him find the biological mother of Fujian.
It was the Xu family who framed Cui Xie several times, and even threw in letters and spread rumors about court officials in order to harm him.
Xie Ying was thinking about Xu's evil deeds, she couldn't help frowning, and wanted to send that person back. Cui Xie patted the table and said with a bit of urgency: "Although Xu's family has been abandoned by his father, he is still Brother Heng's biological mother after all. How can the nature of mother and son be cut off? My brother took me to look for people in nursing homes and nunneries all over the city. My two disciples were writing an essay right now, and if they didn’t agree to interrupt their thoughts, I asked them to stay in the villa for one night, and then look for them later. I'll take them back."
As he spoke, Xie Ying's expression gradually changed, and finally showed a smile: "Brother Xian is right. Although Xu has a serious crime, but since it has been forgiven by God's grace, we should no longer regard sinners as sinners. Look at it, or focus on your brother, let’s find someone first.”
He stood up and shouted to Xie Shan, who was guarding in the courtyard: "Call a few more family members to inquire around the capital, and I will personally accompany Cui Hanlin into the city to find the Xu family."
