Chang'an is good

Chapter 228 The Threshold of Being a Human

Yuan Xiang lowered his voice: "These are letters written by the governor..."

Dai Cong asked solemnly, "Is it a newspaper for the imperial court?"

Yuan Xiang shook his head: "Where is the newspaper for the imperial court needed to be written by the governor himself?

"Then..." Dai Cong's expression became more and more serious: "What is it that made the governor so difficult?"

Yuan Xiang moved closer to Dai Cong again, and whispered, "Our governor is replying to a girl he likes..."

The girl the governor likes? !
The governor also has a favorite girl? !

This unexpected answer surprised Dai Cong, but soon he felt it made sense.

Looking at the clumps of waste letter paper, it is quite understandable... After all, he was also young.

No one can refuse such gossip, especially the owner of the gossip is Mr. Shangfeng who has never been close to women. Dai Cong glanced at the direction of the study, and was not in a hurry to apologize, but pulled Yuan Xiang away again some.

Yuan Xiang half pushed and half agreed, and followed Dai Changshi to the end of the corridor.

"Could it be... the rumored lady Chang?" Dai Cong asked in a low voice.

"Dai Changshi also heard about it in Bingzhou?"

Dai Cong was surprised: "Those rumors are actually true?"

"Isn't it..." At the mention of this, Yuan Xiang felt emotional and felt a little sad: "I think our chief governor is 22 years old, and it took a lot of effort to turn on the screen..."

Dai Cong: ...What are you driving?
"I mean I'm enlightened..." Yuan Xiang continued sadly, "Dai Changshi was not in the capital because he didn't see the worthless appearance of our Metropolitan Governor when he asked to marry Mrs. Chang in public."

It really looks like a Chinese cabbage that no one wants.

Dai Cong looked at the waste letter in his arms and said with emotion: "Although I didn't see it, it's not hard to imagine now..."

"However, Mrs. Chang does have many advantages over others. It is understandable for the governor to have such symptoms." Although Yuan Xiang was sad, he also gave an objective evaluation.

Dai Changshi couldn't help asking: "Then Mrs. Chang... really doesn't want to see the governor so much?"

Ordinarily it shouldn't be, the face is here. When the governor didn't grow a beard, he was often a little confused when he looked at that face.

Seeing Dai Changshi's doubts, Yuan Xiang sighed and said, "Your face won't help. Mrs. Chang is the number one beauty in the capital. When you look in the mirror every day, you can't appreciate your own face."

Dai Cong understood that although he couldn't personally experience the world of good-looking people, he thought it was aesthetic fatigue.

"But it doesn't matter if you don't wait to see it." Yuan Xiang recalled the cruel scene at the hibiscus flower banquet that day: "Ms. Chang said that she only treats the governor as a family member and a close friend."

Thinking back to the beginning, the governor lost his way in that "family", and took out the copper talisman on the spot to give it to him.

"Don't be afraid, since we are still waiting to see you, then there is a chance." Dai Cong asked, "Except for the act of asking for marriage, what does the governor do? An act of saving beauty?"

Yuan Xiang: "It's not sure if you do what you like, but there have been many times when heroes saved the beauty."

Dai Cong showed a look of anticipation.

Yuan Xiang was very frustrated: "But every time I can't help much, Mrs. Chang's Wen Neng is famous in the capital for her paintings, and Zhike arranges to convict the saint's nephew, whether it's good at beating or shooting, let alone riding and shooting. Even the war horses of His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince can be controlled."

After a moment of silence, Dai Cong suddenly looked in the direction of the study, revealing a sudden smile.

In this way, he will understand...

He had also wondered about what kind of girl the governor likes in the past, and now he finally understands... It turns out that what the governor likes in his heart is the kind of girl who is so capable that he can't be used at all!

Yuan Xiang looked at Dai Changshi who was smiling.

Facing Shang Yuanxiang's resentful eyes, Dai Changshi asked with a smile: "How will the governor deal with these useless letters?"

"The governor ordered me to take it and burn it." Yuan Xiang hurriedly hugged it tightly, and said cautiously: "Chang Shi, don't be curious, the governor said that you are not allowed to peek."

"Of course you and I can't see it." Dai Changshi smiled and said, "But I have a suggestion..."

Yuan Xiang subconsciously leaned closer to listen.

As for Cui Jing in the study, he still couldn't write a satisfactory reply this day.

He attributed this to being too tired and mentally weak recently. In order to prevent uttering mistakes in the letter, he deliberately rested overnight, took a bath and changed clothes, and wrote the letter again just now.

When he wrote the letter, he gave Yuan Xiang another order. Although Yuan Xiang couldn't figure it out, he still did it.

An hour later, Yuan Xiang turned back and said, "Grand Governor, I have cleaned it up according to your instructions."

"Yeah." After writing two more wasted letters, Cui Jing, who finally put the last letter in the envelope, said, "Go get the scissors and needle and thread, I need them."

Yuan Xiang: "...?"

That night, Cui Jing sat under the lamp all night.

……

The news that the Bingzhou Rebellion had been quelled came back to the capital, and the hearts of the people in the government and the opposition felt a little more at ease.

Both Yangzhou and Runzhou fell into the hands of the Xu family's rebels. The war in the south is already a headache. If the state is lost again, Dasheng will really be in chaos.

Emperor Shengji ordered people to go to Bingzhou to escort Xiao Chuan to Beijing for trial. In her opinion, it was still difficult to tell the truth of those confessions, and Xiao Chuan still needed to be tried again.

The imperial envoy who was ordered to escort Xiao Chuan also brought an imperial edict to praise Cui Jing.

And the Cui family in Anyifang, the capital, also had rewards delivered.

The person who came to present the reward this time was Yu Zeng. He was the head of the Sigongtai, and he would not come in person for such a decree. This trip shows how much the Emperor Shengji attaches importance to Cui Jing and Bingzhou.

Everyone sees it in their eyes and has a discernment in their hearts.

In the eyes of most of the Cui clan, especially Cui Wei, this is a manifestation of nailing the four characters "the queen's minions" on Cui Jing.

Cui Wei, who was restless recently, simply locked himself in the study and did not come forward.

However, Mrs. Lu happily received the reward, left a metaphor for Zeng to have tea, and asked people to stuff red seals for the servants.

Cui Wei is at fault, if he sees her doing this, he will be so angry that black smoke will be blowing from his head.

After sending Yu Zeng and his party away, Cui Lang took the list of rewards and sighed: "This is how I got a son. If I were a father, I would kowtow a hundred times a day in front of the Buddha..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Lu gave her son an angry look, and said in a low voice, "Why are you talking about such bad luck on such a happy day?"

Cui Lang sighed: "I just think that my father is getting old, there are old and young, why can't he think about it so much?"

"Because there are old people and young people..." Lu said with emotion: "Other people have old people and young people, and that needs to be supported. Your father is different from others, the old ones are capable, and the young ones are too Too competitive, where do you need him to support him for a day?"

Cui Lang nodded: "That's right. There are old and young, and my father has always been the one to be raised... I didn't suffer at all, and I didn't make any effort."

According to this, the father can be said to redefine the old and the young, which is a rare existence even in the entire history of human breeding.

To have such a rare blessing in the world, my father must have accumulated virtue and done good deeds since the creation of Pangu in his previous life, so he saved up this opportunity to be reincarnated as Cui Wei, right?

Thinking of this, Cui Lang felt a little jealous.

Cui Tang said beside him: "Father is alone in the study at this time, do you want to go over and ask?"

"Whatever he does, your father likes to be quiet, so let him be quiet." Mrs. Lu took the reward list and called the steward to him.

"Hurry up and get people to send all those gold and silver items to Xuan Ce Mansion, and put them in Dalang's private treasury, lest these Adu objects stay in the mansion and dirty the Lord's eyes again..."

The steward smiled stiffly and nodded, Madam is also proficient in the way of yin and yang now.

Mrs. Lu picked out some Cui Jing that could be used, and sent them to Xuan Ce Mansion.

All the rewards given to Cui Jing by the imperial court over the years, she has always arranged in this way.

In her opinion, these are the rewards that Da Lang gave his life to fight, and if a battle is won, the credit goes to the commander, but the families of the dead and wounded soldiers also need to be appeased, and besides the compensation sent by the court, Da Lang Relief is often given, and the cost is quite large.

Dalang has never withdrawn money from the clan, but instead earned a lot of rewards from the clan. Dalang never subdivides these. As the mistress of the family, she has more considerations for Dalang besides the clan. Some.

After all, Da Lang has not married a wife yet!
The daughter-in-law has to let him keep enough.

After arranging where to go for the reward, Lu happily took a pair of children to the study and wrote a letter to Cui Jing.

This is what Lu Shi has always wanted to do. In the past, she had no reason to write to Da Lang, but now it is different. Da Lang has called her mother in public!
As a mother, it must be reasonable to write a letter to her son who has just experienced a dangerous calculation abroad, and has just saved the day and made great contributions.
Lu asked Cui Lang to write, and she dictated.

So is Cui Tang.

Cui Lang, from being happy at the beginning, gradually fell into a painful complaint: "... how can anyone write a letter like this!"

This has written a full six letters!
His hand was about to break, and his mother and sister hadn't finished talking yet!

Do they know the difference between writing a letter and writing a script?

"Where is this?" Cui Tang frowned and looked at his second brother.

He is also an older brother, why is there such a big gap?

Some elder brothers made meritorious deeds and fought wars outside to save the overall situation, and some elder brothers would cry out every time they wrote a letter.

It really echoed the conversation she had with her mother last night——

She and her mother lamented that whenever they thought of their eldest brother, they felt that the threshold for being a human being was too high, and she was too mediocre for being born as a human being.

The mother comforted her—it doesn't matter, isn't there still your second brother, since he lowers the threshold of being a human being to the lowest level, with him around, why are you panicking?
Hearing his second brother's complaints, Cui Tang snatched the pen away in disgust and wrote it himself.

Lu's three mothers wrote letters here until dark, and no one cared about Cui Wei.

Cui Wei, who hadn't eaten all day, became more and more depressed. At times like this, his wife would always come to persuade him, at least she would bring a bowl of tonic soup herself... Now it is actually Don't take him seriously?

After further questioning, I realized that Mrs. Lu was busy writing letters to the eldest son.

Cui Wei: "?!"

According to their hearts, they all turned to that Nizi!

This night, no one knew or cared what Cui Wei's mood was, but Cui Lang, who knew that his elder brother was safe and sound, slept soundly.

After he swaggered into the Guozijian early the next morning, he was surrounded by his classmates to inquire about his elder brother's deeds in Bingzhou, which made him very popular.

After class, Cui Lang followed Qiao Yubai back, still chattering.

These days, relying on his mentor-student relationship with Chang Suining, his thick skin, and his fearless spirit of "I don't know the sacrifices to wine, students love fish the most", Cui Lang was able to come to the school every day after school. Qiao Jijiu eats here.

When he came to the front yard, Cui Lang happened to meet Qiao Yumian.

The girl wore an autumn-scented cloak, her hair was combed neatly, and she wore a pair of clean and simple green jade hairpins. She covered her eyes with a piece of moon-white fine silk and tied it behind her head.

"Miss Qiao!" Cui Lang walked over quickly with a smile, looked at the things tied to her eyes, and asked why.

"It's that Doctor Sun's confession." Qiao Yumian said: "In the past two days, I occasionally felt a strong light flashing in front of my eyes, so Doctor Sun asked me to blindfold."

"Bright light?" Cui Lang was overjoyed: "Miss Qiao, can you see the light?"

Qiao Yumian smiled: "I can't see anything yet, but Dr. Sun said...it should be a sign of improvement."

She didn't hold out hope at first, but the occasional flickering bright light was never seen before, maybe the doctor Ning Ning found for her really has extraordinary skills.

"That would be great!" Cui Lang was overjoyed, "Maybe it won't be long before Miss Qiao can see the light again!"

Qiao Yubai looked over - how could he feel that Cui Liulang's excitement was no less than that of his elder brother?

Qiao Yumian didn't answer, only showing a hint of expectant smile.

To be honest, she has always been curious about what Cui Liulang who was standing in front of her looked like.

She had a vague imagination in her mind, but she didn't know if it was realistic.

She very much hopes...the day she can witness it with her own eyes.

Cui Lang and the others walked forward while talking, but when they came to the dining hall, they heard that Xi Zhiyuan had come.

To the surprise of Cui Lang and Qiao Yubai, Xi Zhiyuan came to bid farewell.

Cui Lang: "Are you going back to Dongluo?"

"Yes, we are going to leave in two days." Xi Zhiyuan explained: "There is something urgent at home."

"Then after it's over, can't you come back?"

"I won't be able to come back in a short time." Xi Zhiyuan looked at his classmates and friends with a smile, as if promising: "But I think, we will definitely meet again in the future."

He should have left ten days ago when he received the "letter from home" from Dongluo.

He originally wanted to wait for the girl to come back and say goodbye to her face to face before leaving, but until today there is still no news of her returning to Beijing, and his affairs cannot be delayed any longer.

Cui Lang was very reluctant: "You have to leave too, and I don't know when Master will come back... Our Wuer Club may not have enough people to play polo in the future."

Qiao Yubai also sighed softly in his heart.

Now he has roughly sensed that Ning Ning will not come back for this trip in a short time.

Those days of playing polo by the river together may be hard to come by.

Many years later, when Qiao Yubai looks back, he will realize more clearly that this period of time is like a river with a clear boundary. On one side of the river is the wanton and relaxed youth time, while on the other side, the teenagers will live their lives together. Go to a completely different life.

But just as Xi Zhiyuan said at this time - we will meet again in the future.

……

Li Lu left Beijing half a month ago, and went back to Yizhou to visit his sick mother, and was preparing for his wedding with Ma Wan, the prime minister.

Not long after Li Lu left, it was also the day when Ming Luo left for the marriage ceremony. The marriage team left the capital all the way. Ming Luo, who was sitting in the car, lifted the curtain and looked at the majestic city gate of the capital reluctantly.

……

On the same day that the news of the pacification of the Bingzhou Rebellion reached Xuanzhou, Chang Suining received a letter from Bingzhou Kuaima.

But it's not just letters.

With her own hands, she opened the small, heavy box that was sent along with it.

Good night everyone~
