Chang'an is good

Chapter 159 Raising an Army and Recovering

Pressing the handkerchief at the corners of his eyes, Lu Shi choked up with grievances and said: "...Da Lang had vowed not to marry at first, but I saw that he finally had a girl he wanted to marry, so I was happy for him. He has always been at odds with the Lord Lang, if I object, won't it deepen the estrangement between you father and son?"

"Are there any more estrangements between me and him? How has he ever treated me as a father?" Cui Wei frowned and said, "If you let him do whatever he wants because you are concerned about this matter, you are ignorant and ignorant!"

Lu began to lower her head and shed tears: "Yes, it's all my concubine's fault. My concubine's fault is to be this stepmother with someone else. If my identity is wrong, whatever I do is wrong..."

"You...what are you talking about?" Cui Wei couldn't see anyone crying in front of him, and said helplessly: "I'm not thinking about you, do you know how those clansmen who are officials in the court think of you?" This clan's wife? They all say that you are deliberately flattering and killing that traitor!"

Lu's eyes revealed a look of bewilderment: "But...but they were the ones who asked my concubine to persuade me that night!"

"The persuasion in their mouths is obviously intended to make you dissuade that rebellious son, how could it be to make you join him?" Cui Wei sighed helplessly: "Madam, you have to use your brain in everything!"

"I don't have any brains..." Lu's face was sad, and she laughed at herself: "If I had a brain, how could I give birth to such a brainless Lang'er."

"..." Cui Wei choked, and had nothing to say.

Although his wife doesn't have much brains, she is good-hearted, soft-tempered and obedient, and her mind is simple and unpredictable.

Zheng Shi, who is overthinking and stubborn, is really two kinds of people.

The sons born by the two also have completely different temperaments.

Thinking of the rebellious eldest son, Cui Wei suddenly felt the depression in his heart intensified, and the center of his brows also raised high.

That Nizi did such absurd behavior at the hibiscus flower banquet, but he never went home to explain it, obviously he didn't take his father seriously at all!
"Master Lang."

A servant came in to salute.

Cui Wei frowned and asked, "But that Shuzi is back?"

"I haven't seen Mr. Liulang come back yet." The servant said: "It is the old master who sent someone to send a message, asking the master to go to the outer study to discuss important matters."

Cui Wei heard the words and didn't dare to delay, so he got off the bed immediately.

His father knew that he was ill, but still asked him to come to him to discuss matters. This "important matter" must be extremely urgent.

Lu Shi and the female envoy helped him change his clothes.

Cui Wei hurriedly went to the study outside.

"Hey, where's father?" Cui Lang tiptoed in, only to find his mother sitting alone in the hall drinking tea.

Lu raised his eyelids and glanced at the second son: "You will come back in time, and now he has gone to the Patriarch's place, so he won't be able to beat you for a while."

Cui Lang heaved a sigh of relief, and came over to drink tea, seeing that the tails of her eyes were slightly red, he couldn't help but "tsk" and said, "Aniang just fooled father again."

Lu Shi was a little tired just after the performance, so he didn't bother to pay attention to his son.

"Aniang, look at your father's reaction when he learned about the elder brother's proposal to marry Mrs. Chang? Are there any signs of letting go?"

Seeing A Niang ignoring him, Cui Lang moved closer, smiled "hey", and asked in a low voice: "What does my son mean... Is it possible for me not to marry girls from those four families in the future, but to marry a woman from another family? "

Lu put down the teacup and said with emotion: "Why is it impossible, everything is possible."

Cui Lang's eyes brightened slightly: "According to my mother, how likely is it?"

"Here, did you see that?" Lu raised his jaw slightly, and looked outside the hall.

Cui Lang looked over and saw the yellow dog he raised was sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail cheerfully towards him in the yard.

His father has many rules, allowing the dog to enter the yard is the limit, and it is absolutely forbidden to enter the house. After a long time, the dog also develops the habit of obeying the rules, and only stays in the yard.

But why did A Niang suddenly let him watch the dog?
Cui Lang was puzzled, and only heard his aunt say: "It's almost the same as when you turned into a dog."

"...?" Cui Lang had a bitter look on his face.

This is A Niang's "anything is possible"?
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?" Lu looked at his son and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you have some idea?"

"What can my son think?" Cui Lang asked Dafa rhetorically to hide his guilt.

"You'd better not have one." Lu sighed, "One Cui's family has two sons in total. They can't all be rebellious, or else they can't live a better life?"

Cui Lang also sighed: "Son, I don't think so, but this bone is not as hard as my elder brother. Even if I want to go against it, I'm afraid I don't have the ability."

As he said that, he changed the subject: "However, isn't Dad sick? Why did grandfather call someone to discuss the matter? What happened?"

"How do I know." Lu Shi doesn't care about these things, or she shouldn't care about them. She knows very well that whether she cares about some things will not change the decisions of the Cui clan.

She only said to her son: "If you want to know, just go and listen."

Cui Lang hurriedly shook his head: "At a time like this, I'm just looking for scolding, so I won't go."

Besides, he is not as accomplished as his elder brother, and he used to act too dandy. If it is really an important matter in the clan, his grandfather may not be willing to let him listen to it.

Anyway, no matter what happened, his grandfather and the others were there, so he was happy and relaxed without him having to worry about it.

"I heard from the steward in your hospital that you have been secretly looking for a doctor who is good at treating eye diseases these days?" Shi Lu asked his son casually.

"There is something about it..." Cui Lang paused while drinking tea, and said as naturally as possible: "A classmate of mine suffers from eye disease, and I will help."

Lu Shi looked at him.

Suddenly Cui Lang couldn't sit still, put down the teacup and got up: "Since my father is not here, I will go back first, A Niang remember to tell my father when I turn around, my son has already arrived!"

Coincidentally, it was raining outside at this time.

Cui Lang didn't stay to shelter from the rain, he just urged the female envoy to get an umbrella, and left here with a pot holding the umbrella.

He had to ask the steward in the courtyard how the matter of finding a doctor was going. He talked so fast, he wondered if he was so active in handling things.

The rain is majestic, weaving the rain curtain very densely, and the raindrops hit the blue tiles, splashing out the coolness of late autumn.

A carriage stopped outside the gate of Changfu in Xingningfang.

Recognizing that it was his own carriage, the doorman hurriedly held up an umbrella and greeted him with an umbrella.

It was Chang Suining who got out of the carriage.

Xi'er held up an umbrella for her own girl, and the master and servant stepped into the gate of the mansion. Under a long corridor in the front yard, they saw Chang Suian who was practicing guns while sheltering from the rain.

"...Xiao Suian, I will teach you, look at me, do this first when you shoot!"

A Dian pointed at Chang Sui'an solemnly.

Chang Suian nodded, and tried as he said. Under the rain curtain corridor, the young man was vigorous and agile, with powerful movements, dancing a red-tasseled spear with great vigor.

"Little Ah Li, why are you back!"

Ah Dian's eyes lit up, and he jumped up in the corridor in surprise.

Soon, he climbed out of the corridor fence and ran happily to Chang Suining in the rain.

Chang Suining hurriedly took the umbrella from Xi'er's hand, and held it high above his head: "What are you doing here, it's raining."

The three of them huddled under an umbrella and walked into the corridor, most of their bodies were drenched.

Chang Suian hurriedly put down his spear, picked up his own cloak and put it on his sister, and asked with concern: "Ningning, you just went to the Imperial College this morning, why are you back at this time? But what trouble did you encounter?"

"Today Chu Taifu Xiumu went to the Imperial College, but was urgently called into the palace by the saint. I felt uneasy for no reason, so I came back to have a look." Chang Suining asked, "Where is Dad?"

"Father was urgently called into the palace at noon." Chang Sui'an said, "I haven't come back yet."

Chang Sui Ning's heart sank slightly.

The teacher held an important position and was called into the palace to discuss matters. There may be many of them, but he is often a military officer, and he is not a close minister of the emperor. Since he was also called into the palace by name, there is only one possibility...

There will be war, or there will be war.

Chang Suining went to the front hall and waited until midnight before he saw Chang Kuo come back.

Chang Kuo has stayed in the palace until now, only eating some tea and snacks to satisfy his hunger, and because the leg with the old injury has been standing for too long, and it hurts every rainy day, sitting in the chair at the moment shows a little bit of pain. Very tired color.

The white steward asked people to go to the kitchen to bring the hot food.

Chang Sui Ning first asked, "Is Dad's leg okay?"

"It's okay, I'm sick." Chang Kuo took the hot tea from the old servant and said, "And take the medicine, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Not to mention, the medicine that the woman sent before was really effective, but fortunately he didn't actually throw it away--he refused it when it was delivered the first time, and then he pretended to throw it out after giving it another time. Picked it up again.

Chang Sui Ning was a little relieved, and then asked: "Father, the saint called urgently this time, but what happened?"

Chang Kuo held the teacup in his big hand, and nodded solemnly: "Li Zhengye raised troops from Yangzhou in the name of restoring the country, and rebelled."

"Li Zhengye?" Chang Suian was shocked: "That British prince?!"

Chang Sui Ning was also surprised.

It turned out to be an internal disaster, and it was Li Zhengye who started the army.

She is no stranger to this person.

Li Zhengye's original surname was Xu, and he was the grandson of Xu Ji, a former British general. He was born into a family of famous generals.

When she was still Li Xiao, she still remembered that this person stood with Empress Ming, and he was one of the helpers on the way that Empress Ming came to power... But now the other party is going to rebel against Empress Ming, claiming to recover Sheji?
Among them, the conflicts and interests are entangled, and Chang Sui would rather not take care of the details. Throughout the ages, it is common for monarchs and ministers to part ways, but what is important now is not this.

She is more concerned about: "Why did you start the army from Yangzhou? Where is Chen Changshi in Yangzhou's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion? Will it follow suit?"

Dasheng set up the post of governor, mostly from afar, just as Cui Jing is the governor of Bingzhou, but he is not often in the area under his jurisdiction.

Half a year is enough time for Chang Suining to know the information about the officials who are now in important positions in Dasheng. She also knows that the surname of the chief governor of Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is Chen.

"That Chen Changshi..." Chang Kuo shook his head, "He's dead."

Chang Suining frowned: "How did you die?"

Chang Kuo also frowned: "It's ridiculous..."

Chang Suining waited for him to continue.
