Nightfall Chapter 21: Cui’s reaction is very interesting
Idea is a very versatile word, and in many cases it is also used in the little love between men and women. Back then, Ning Que left Weicheng for Chang'an and walked with Li Yu, who was a maidservant. He had a hard time at Beishan Pass and told stories by the bonfire. If you look at the deepest depths of your heart, no one will say no. It was clear whether or not there was any emotion sprouted at that time, but even if it did, it was also in the morning light, as Li Yu slowly left his shoulder, then stood up and broke off.
There is no sentimentality, but there is still some sentiment in the end. In the past few years in Chang'an, the relationship between Ning Que and Li Yu has not been broken. Now that he knows that Qinghe County is Li Yu's help, he naturally has no reason to suppress He just wrote a letter and sent it to the Cui’s Manor by the Fuchun River, and took Sangsang back to the inn, quietly enjoying the scenery and drinking, as if he didn’t know what was happening in Yangguan City.
A simple letter is just a test, and it also hides some not-so-innocent ideas of Ning Que. He wanted to see whether the embarrassing red-sleeve tricks for the family of a thousand generations in Qinghe County were simply trying to please Li Yu and the Academy, trading fame through disrespect to the queen empress, or had other ideas...
As he said to the shopkeeper, if it’s the former, if the Qinghe County surnames really have too complicated ideas, then when Ning Que can’t understand these ideas, he will inevitably have something bad. Ideas, he entered the WTO on behalf of the academy, and his ideas are very important to today's Datang.

……
In the house of the Song family by the Slender Lake, autumn is gradually rising, and the greenery is still there. It is the pure and beautiful season. However, the atmosphere in the courtyard is a bit depressed. The girls with red sleeves may lean on the railing or sit quietly. Behind the table. With a look of anxiety and worry on his beautiful face, he was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery at all.
Not all the girls in the red sleeve trick are brooches. But whether it's dancing or singing or something else. After all, they are living the days of welcoming and sending, and their insights and eyesight are very unusual. They knew very well that even though they were held by high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City, it was because of the relationship between Jane and the palace, and in Qinghe County, the court officials were born three levels lower. What's more, these weak women of oneself meet these cliques who are not afraid of the empress. That was a big trouble.
They all know what the problem is now, but they can't find a way to solve the problem. Although the Hongxiuzhao trip is to go to Lanke Temple on the will of the court. But it is not an official mission after all. It is impossible to expect any fear from these big gate lords. As for Zhenxi General Xian Zhilang, who is now in the Cui Family Garden, can he count on him?
Thinking about the frosty face of the Cui housekeeper in the morning when he left, the girls became more and more frightened. Two or three people looked at the little girl who was sitting in the first place. I couldn't help showing resentment, thinking that if it weren't for the arrogance and viciousness of your Cui family's steward. It's not that you should offend these Qinghe county surnames to such a degree. Although you are spoiled by Jane on weekdays, this is not Chang'an City. Why are you so arrogant?
The little girl is Jane’s personal maid, Xiaocao. This time, the Red Sleeve Recruitment went to Lanke Temple, and she was the foreman. It was obvious that Jane had also begun to train successors.
Compared with three years ago, Xiaocao is a bit older, but still innocent. However, in this gloomy mist, the little girl's clear eyebrows do not have any uneasy expressions, instead she appears particularly indifferent, looking at those The girls frowned slightly and said: "Nothing has happened yet, what are you doing?"
In the world’s brothel, everyone Jane’s status is equal to that of the emperor, and Xiaocao is her designated successor. Although these girls can't help but slander or make faces, no one dares to point them out. , A gentle-tempered girl looked at the faces of her companions, smiled reluctantly, and walked forward and whispered softly and persuaded: "Even if Cui is deliberately making things difficult, the girl's attitude in the morning is too tough." /
Xiao Cao said with a sneer: "My Red Sleeve Trick is only performed for your Majesty and Niang Niang. How can the old Cui family talk about these two? For the sake of respecting the old and the virtuous, go to Cui Yuan for a scene. It’s okay. As a result, I actually dare to make things difficult on purpose, and even dare to speak threateningly. I really think I am an ordinary brothel?"
Listening to these words, the girls looked at each other, thinking that Xiaocao is really a little bit like everyone now, but facing the surnames of Qinghe County, what is the difference between the red sleeve trick and the ordinary brothel, you are now showing this Isn’t it even more humiliating to be bullied by others?
Xiaocao knew what they were thinking, but didn't bother to explain, took out a bag of scented melon seeds from her sleeves, and started to nibble on her own. She knew that even if the general of Zhenxi didn't speak, someone would naturally speak, of course little girl The inner emotions were not as calm as on the surface, because she didn't know whether the person was in Yangguan or not.
The wind came from Shouhu Lake, slowly blowing across the courtyard. It was quiet, only the sound of sipping melon seeds could be heard. Suddenly someone came to report, and the Cui Sect sent someone to come again. Hearing this news, the girls who were barely able to sit still stood up in surprise, thinking how to come so fast. It seems that they really aroused the anger of the Cui family. How can this be good?
Xiao Cao was startled slightly, and slowly put the melon seeds held by her fingers back into the bag.
The Cui family's four directors came to Slender Lake again. After all, this should be the third time he came here in one day and night. There are very few things in Yangguan City where the Cui family's fourth steward can come forward three times in a row. If the people who can enjoy this kind of treatment are not very big, then very troublesome things will happen next.
But today, the red sleeve trick is destined to not encounter any trouble.
Because the Cui family's fourth steward was lying on a stretcher, he was carried into Song Garden.
The girls with red sleeves looked at the dying middle-aged man on the stretcher, looked at the blood stains that the man’s clothes could not hide, and couldn’t help covering their mouths in shock. They couldn’t compare this person to last night. In the morning, the calm and gentle but indisputable strong Cui family manager contacted him.
Xiao Cao was also a little surprised, stood up and looked at the gray-haired old man by the stretcher.
The old man saluted Xiaocao and said, "The villain is the chief steward of the Cui Mansion. I heard that the servants in the family are disrespectful to the girls. I hereby tie him up to plead with you. He broke his five fingers and then dropped twelve sticks. I wonder if the girl is satisfied?"
Xiaocao understands naturally at this time. That person was indeed in Yangguan City, the nervousness that he had forcibly concealed before. Disappeared instantly. Looking at the blood-stained Siguan on the stretcher, it was very difficult to let his hands not clenched into fists, but naturally hung on the skirt.
After getting the answer that there was nothing dissatisfied with the Red Sleeve Trick, Chief Manager Cui once again apologized. Then he took the people away from Song Garden neatly.
Except for a few drops of blood remaining on Qingshiping, it seems that nothing has happened. It seemed that the terrifying shadow cast by the sect in the early morning of last night was an illusion.
It took a long time for the girls to wake up from the shock and stunned emotions. When they looked at Xiaocao again, their eyes were obviously different, the calm and indifference in Xiaocao's childish brows. There was a few unfathomable smells in their eyes. And has a real momentum.
Xiaocao smiled suddenly, and then continued to lower his head and lick the seeds.
The girls waved away the maids, served tea in person, and stood aside with a smile and waited.
I don't know how long it took, Xiaocao patted off the debris in his hand and took the tea to moisturize his throat. Looking at them, they said: "In the past, in Chang'an City, no one dared to tease us. Now that you are out of Chang'an City, you don't need to panic. Again, the red sleeve trick is not an ordinary dance."
……
……
The fourth officer of Cui Mansion was carried to half-dead with a rod and was carried out of Song Yuan. Then he was carried on a stretcher and walked around Yangguan City. I don’t know how many shocked discussions and speculations arose. The common people could naturally see that this was deliberately done by the Cui Mansion. They could not help being shocked and speechless. They thought about the background of the Red Sleeve Trick that lived in the Songyuan Garden. How could the Cui Family be able to achieve this level? You must know that it is not ordinary The home of the nobles, but the Cui family in Qinghe County, who has the confidence that even the Queen’s relatives don’t care about it!
Immediately afterwards, something more shocking happened in Yangguan City. A log-colored horse-drawn carriage came from outside the city, and its wheels also carried the reddish river mud unique to the Fuchun River. This horse-drawn carriage seemed shabby and lonely, but wherever it passed, the lively Yangguan city suddenly became It was extremely quiet, and I don't know how many bureaucrats and stewards stood at the entrance of the street to maintain order, and many shopkeepers along the street knelt directly to the carriage.
People in Yangguan City know that there are only two people who are eligible to ride in this carriage in Qinghe County, one is the Cui clan chief and the other is the Cui clan's grandfather.
The street in front of the best inn in Slender Lake has been blocked in advance, and there is no pedestrian on the street, so it is extremely quiet. The carriage slowly drove to the inn. The shopkeeper of the inn was already waiting on the street. He knelt to the side of the car and knocked his head respectfully, and then carefully helped the ordinary rich man who had come down in the carriage and walked down.
The shopkeeper is the shopkeeper of the inn, but he is not qualified to walk into his inn today.
The only person who followed the clan chief Cui into the inn was an ordinary, rickety old steward.
……
……
The surnames of Qinghe County are headed by the Cui surname. The Cui clan chief is the first person in Qinghe County. In the hearts of many Datang people, the first person in Qinghe County is actually the second person in Datang, except His Majesty the Emperor who lives in the city of Chang'an, no man has the status and status that can surpass him.
When such an important person visited in person, it seemed that everyone should be out of the room to welcome him. However, Ning Que didn't do this, and he didn't even show a smile on his face.
Because he confirmed that the opponent who can become the first person in Qinghe County will at least not be lower in IQ than himself, so since they are all smart people, why do so many hypocritical and meaningless things?
The patriarch Cui's appearance is very ordinary, even more ordinary than the old steward behind him, wearing a silk shirt that is not vulgar but definitely not elegant, and looks like an ordinary rich man.
But he speaks very unusually.
"I was wrong."
The clan chief Cui sighed: "When I was in the court, I wanted to make your majesty happy, but instead made your majesty unhappy, so I was driven back to Qinghe. Now that I know you are passing through Yangguan, I probably want to prove myself In addition to studying and ruling the state and the country, I can also treat each other, so I want to try to make you happy and save yourself some reputation on this road, but I didn't expect it to be such a failure. It seems that I was really wrong, and I didn't. Talent in this area."

(Looking up to the sky and shouting, writing from 12 noon until this time, but finally broke my saddest barrier! It will be a lot smoother tomorrow! The newly bought chair is still difficult to sit on!)
