Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 73: Qinghe


Qinghe and Beimang have the same name and similar status as the current world. The geography of Beimang is strangely to the north, but the geography of Qinghe is very consistent with the current world. When Zhao Changhe escorted Cui Yuanyang, a thought came into his heart. Meme: I’m coming to HEB province.

The location of the capital is also very close to the current capital, but Beimang went further north. Therefore, Cui Yuanyong once said that although my family did not pass by the capital when they went to Beimang, it was not a long way off.

I don’t know how this phenomenon came to be, and how it is related to the real world... Regarding the era, maybe this time I can really ask Cui Wen Z. Yang Yang may not know this.

Walking on the streets of Qinghe County, the streets are extremely spacious, with a constant flow of traffic, the sound of hawking from the stalls on the left and right, and various palaces and pavilions everywhere.

This is the first prosperous city that Zhao Changhe has seen in this life. It is many times more prosperous than the city where he stole clothes before. I wonder how the weather in the capital compares?

What Zhao Changhe has been experiencing, the bloodshed of massacres, the chaos of bandit plunder, the treacherous turmoil in the rivers and lakes, the scenes that the blind man once saw of bandit rebellion and alien killings, seem to be far away from a place like this. It's so far away that it doesn't even seem like a world away.

If we talk about the pure land in troubled times, it would probably be a place like this.

The governor of Qinghe County is the Cui family, not Cui Wen Z himself, but his younger brother Cui Wenjue. And the Cui family has many other clansmen, in-laws, disciples and former officials, who are spread throughout the states, counties and even the army. They are truly a first-class force in the world that connects states and counties.

This is Qinghe Cui.

Cui Wen?Z himself has no position in the imperial court and maintains the aloofness of being the ninth in the world. Xia Longyuan must also respect such a person and such a force.

In the eyes of most people in the world, the image of the head of the Cui family is different from the old fox father Zhao Changhe saw. He was really a fairy **** who was as high as the clouds, majestic and solemn. He is also a gentleman and gentle.

With modern knowledge, we clearly know that there is extreme ugliness behind this prosperity. Land annexation alone can displace many people. Most of the dynasty cycles come from this. The aristocratic family is the absolute villain here. Others who bully men and women, talk about mysteries, ignore Chao Gang, or even collude with foreigners, etc., are all gay. The reason why there are troubled times is that the aristocratic families have to bear a large part of the blame.

Therefore, Zhao Changhe has always had feelings of resistance and even contempt for the aristocratic family in his heart. Yangyang is cute, but he is a human being, and individuals cannot represent class. But at this moment, seeing the prosperity and peace that is completely different from the outside world, I still have to admit that my previous impression was not that objective.

Things have two sides, at least at this moment, this is indeed a pure land.

The Cui family manor is located in the east of the city. It occupies an endless area and has a solemn atmosphere. The road outside the door is full of spring willows, small bridges and flowing water. It is solemn and adds a bit of leisurely elegance. In fact, it is better than the previous Wei County magistrate. The spring colors in the back garden add to the style.

Cui Wen Z didn’t take Zhao Changhe with him, so he didn’t even know where he had gone. It was Cui Yuanyang who happily brought her brother Zhao into the house. Just from the entrance to her boudoir, Zhao Changhe felt that the road was farther than his mother's three laps around Beimang Village. There were no villagers pruning flowers or grass on the road. There are more people than copycats.

True rich lolita.

Cui Yuanyang could see his envy and hatred, and said with a smile: "Let Brother Zhao come here early. If we ask about the marriage again, will Brother Zhao stay here and never leave?"

Zhao Changhe said honestly: "Most of them would say rich woman, hungry, hungry, rice."

Cui Yuanyang imitated him in a gruff voice: "I, Zhao Changhe, don't eat soft food."

"Hey, have I ever said this in front of you?"

"Why bother showing it? You can guess it."

"I feel like my image in your mind has been blindly elevated... If you give me money, I really want it, really..."

"Then have you ever said such a thing?"

"...Yes."

"Then it's not elevated?" Cui Yuanyang smiled and took his hand: "Let's go and show you my room. It's very cute..."

"Miss." A maid next to her finally couldn't help it anymore: "Master Zhao is not suitable to go to your boudoir..."

These maids and maids have been following behind for a long time. They all looked like they were eating when they saw the young men and women flirting.

At this time, Zhao Changhe was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat but was rejected by his master. He made a three-year agreement. This matter has not been spread to the outside world, but it has begun to spread within the Cui family... In fact, under the Cui family People don't think that you can really be on the list in the past three years, which means that the marriage can be announced and gone.

The reason why I asked you to be a guest is because you are regarded as the lady’s benefactor and I didn’t expel you. That’s the magnanimity of the master. You still rely on me and you still want to enter the boudoir? What do you want to do in there? hold head high?

So Cui Wen Z thinks that this proposal will make Zhao Changhe's reputation very embarrassing. He really does it for Yangyang's face and doesn't care about his own face.

Cui Yuanyang knew it well, and the more this happened, the more she couldn't stand others talking about Zhao Changhe like this. She turned around and put her hands on her hips, angrily said: "It's my business who I want to bring into my boudoir. My father doesn't care about it, but you can." ”

The servant woman advised: "The master has so many things to do, how can he care about explaining these things? The young lady should love herself. Isn't the lesson painful enough for leaving home without authorization this time..."

Someone else said: "Yes, look at this man asking for money. This is so... I have never seen anything like this. He is really a gangster."

Zhao Changhe laughed dumbly.

Cui Yuanyang was so angry that he laughed at this sentence. He took out a piece of gold from his arms and stuffed it into Zhao Changhe's hand: "If he wants money, I will give him money. Who cares?"

As he said that, he stood up on his toes and tried to kiss Zhao Changhe's face: "I'm still kissing him, you ask my father to take care of it!"

I didn’t get a kiss, I’m too short.

Cui Yuanyang stood on her toes, jumped slightly, and was pressed on the head by Zhao Changhe.

Cui Yuanyang looked at him angrily, Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "Is this an opportunity?"

"Huh." Cui Yuanyang tilted her head and avoided his big hand: "Let's go, ignore them."

A group of servants and maids were all stupid, and they were kissing each other in broad daylight...

That’s it. After the young lady went out for a while, she really looked like the bandits. She looked just like that even if she ran into the village and said she was a village lady...

I vaguely heard Zhao Changhe say from the front: "Okay,? Our agreement was originally for your reputation. Don't break it yourself. Your father and I both Headache."

Cui Yuanyang pouted, knowing that he was overly excited and regarded this matter as an engagement in his heart. In fact, it could not be regarded as a serious matter, but it was a sign of "falling out".

I cannot willfully destroy the hard work of my father and Brother Zhao.

She sighed sadly: "Oh... then come with me here..."

"Where?"

"Hiding the military room." Cui Yuanyang said, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhao Changhe's wine gourd that never left his body. When the wind and rain came, even Zhao Changhe himself didn't know when the knife was cut. The gourd was surprisingly well-protected, but it was getting older and older, but he was reluctant to throw it away.

She glanced over and said seemingly unintentionally: "Brother Zhao's knife is broken. I want to find the best knife for you so that you can always carry it with you!"

"If you cut too many times, how can there be a knife that will never chip..."

"You are... talking nonsense, there must be!"

Zhao Changhe didn't know that the little girl's thoughts were already in the Shura field. At this time, the desire to change to a good knife really surpassed all interests. At this moment, even if a naked girl came lying in front of her, she didn't bother to care: "Okay, okay, okay , I’m talking nonsense, I’m talking nonsense, take me to see the knife!”

The Cui family's military storage room is actually not one room, but a group of buildings, which are heavily guarded. There is another road behind the house, leading to a slightly higher hill. A small hall made of pure copper can be vaguely seen above. I don't know what treasure is inside.

Cui Yuanyang personally brought people to hide the weapons room, but the guards did not stop him. Of course, the daughter of the head of the family has the right to take most of the weapons at will. Cui Yuanyang had no intention of going to the Copper Palace on the hill. He just pulled Zhao Changhe to the room on the right and said with a smile: "This is a place specifically for hiding knives."

Zhao Changhe looked away from the Copper Palace and asked in a low voice: "What's over there?"

"On the hill, behind the Bronze Hall, is our family's ancestral temple. Now my father is interrogating people in it..." Cui Yuanyang lowered his voice unconsciously: "As for the Bronze Hall, it is where Cui Cui is hidden. The place where the family's most precious treasure is the Qinghe Sword. Oh, and there is also a famous sword given by His Majesty, which he treasures."

Zhao Changhe, who had read thousands of novels, instinctively felt that something was going on here.
