Chang'an is good

Chapter 78

The Chang family has never had a family law, and has never had those heavy and rigid rules. Because Cui Jing and Wei Shuyi are both familiar with Chang Sui Ning, and although they are in the same room, they eat one by one. Suining never avoided it, and had dinner with everyone at noon.

Chang Kuo, as the host, sits on the host seat.

Below it sits honored guests, one on the left and one on the right are Cui Jing and Wei Shuyi.

Further down, there are Chu Xing, A Dian, and several other seniors who have seniority in the army.

In terms of seniority in this way, the son and daughter of the Chang family sat at the end.

Chang Suining, who was about to sit near the entrance of the hall, subconsciously looked at Chang Kuo's seat, not quite used to it.

Chang Kuo toasted the guests first, and Chu Xing and others followed suit.

Chang Sui An, who was sitting opposite, stretched his head and said to Chang Sui Ning: "Ning Ning, I asked someone to replace your wine with fruit wine. You should try it first. If you are still not used to it, then drink honey tea."

Chang Suining looked at the fruit wine in front of him and nodded.

I think she drank strong wine with soldiers in the military camp, and she was famous for not getting drunk after a thousand cups.

The so-called never-drunk after a thousand cups is somewhat exaggerated, but no matter what, I never thought that one day I would be reduced to the point where I could only drink fruit wine.

She followed suit and drank the fruit wine in one gulp.

"Ning Ning, how is it?" Chang Suian asked in a low voice.

Chang Suining answered truthfully: "...very sweet."

Chang Suian grinned: "Yes, I specially asked someone to add honey for you."

Facing the caring and pampering feelings towards his sister, Chang Suining could only say: "Thank you, brother."

"Let's move your chopsticks!" Chang Kuo's voice was loud and enthusiastic: "Cui Dadu and Wei Shilang don't have to be restrained, just stay at home!"

During the banquet, Chang Kuo toasted many times.

Wei Shuyi also made toasts many times, and it was not enough to pay respects to Cui Jing with a different name list.

Although Cui Jing didn't speak much, when facing Wei Shu Yi Zhuan's ramblings towards him, there was always a little indifferent dislike on his face, but he would not refuse the wine offered in front of him.

Seeing them pushing and changing cups and drinking lively, Chang Suining didn't get dizzy, even if it was fruit wine, he didn't dare to drink too much.

After all, the body is not the original body, it is better to be more cautious, the fame in the previous life cannot be destroyed, and the face in this life should not be lost.

So he only drank half a pot of fruit wine and gave up, focusing on eating meat.

Over there, facing Wei Shuyi's compliment, Chang Kuo smiled and said: "...how can I say that I'm just an old warrior! And Wei Shilang is young, and his future is really limitless!"

And the same thing, he just said it again.

Chang Sui Ning understood.

Well, this is seven points drunk.

A sign of frequent drunkenness-began to say some repetitive words.

He began to greet everyone again: "Come, come, come, we agreed not to get drunk and not to return, keep drinking!"

Chang Suining looked around in the hall, and felt that anyone present looked more sober than Chang Kuo——

I am afraid that in the end, he is the only one who will not be drunk and will not return.

"thump!"

Suddenly there was a sound from the opposite side, Chang Suining raised his eyes, and saw Chang Suian lying on the food table in front of him, unconscious.

Chang Suining: "..."

It's too early to say.

Chang Kuo waved his hand indifferently: "Carry it down!"

Seeing that Chang Suian was being helped down by his subordinates, it was probably because of the cold lips and teeth. When Chu Xing and others picked up the wine again, they drank a lot more restrained, and they no longer drank it easily——Cui Dadu and Wei Wei The servant can be said to be a formidable young man, the guests sit upright, if they fall down one by one, what face will the general's mansion save!

With Chang Suian out of the game, the banquet is coming to an end.

Children can't sit still, so Ah Dian wanted to leave a long time ago. At this time, she sneaked up to Chang Suining's side, crouched beside her and whispered, "Little Ah Li!" , shall we feed the fish in the garden?"

Chang Suining also felt that the living room was a little stuffy, so he put down his chopsticks, got up and said to Chang Kuo, "Father, I'll take General Ah Dian out for a walk first."

Chang Kuo's face was flushed from drinking, and his smile became more honest and kind: "Go, go."

"Aren't Minister Wei going?" Ah Dian said to Wei Shuyi, "Let's go and see who can get farther!"

When he was drinking just now, Wei Shuyi wanted to make him happy, so he casually said that he was also very good at swimming——

Chang Suining wanted to pull Ah Dian away, but Wei Shuyi smiled and got up, and said, "General Chang, the younger generation will not accompany you first."

Chang Kuo: "Wei Shilang is leaving now? Haven't finished the wine yet!"

"The junior's drinking capacity is shallow, and if he drank any more, he might lose his manners, so he gave up first." Wei Shuyi smiled and saluted, and his eyes fell on Cui Jing: "Wei is useless, and this important task can only be handed over to Governor Cui. .”

Chang Kuo laughed and said, "Wei Shilang is being modest!"

But no longer entangled.

Although he loves wine and treats guests warmly, he is not a person who will stalk wine at the wine table.

Wei Shuyi and Chang Suining left the banquet together.

After leaving the dining hall, seeing that Wei Shuyi seemed to be about to speak, Chang Suining didn't want to be probed by him, so he preemptively said: "Isn't Wei Shilang going to have a drink with Chief Cui, why did this come out?"

"People still need to know how to advance and retreat." Wei Shuyi sighed: "We haven't seen each other for two years, and this Cui Ling'an has a good drinker again. If you want to pour him down, it seems impossible. If you don't know the fun anymore, I'm afraid you will put yourself in it." .”

At the end, he said regretfully: "It's a pity that I couldn't see Cui Ling'an drunk again today."

"Let's not talk about you, I haven't seen it before." Ah Dian said from the side: "They all said that Xiao Jing, like His Highness, can't get drunk!"

Wei Shuyi smiled and said, "I've seen it before, it's very interesting."

"However, that was a long time ago. When he and I were children..." Wei Shuyi said, hissing softly: "Maybe I'm the only one who saw him drunk... Maybe he saved it early. With the intention of killing me."

Ah Dian was stunned: "Is it because of this that Xiaojing doesn't want to see Wei Shilang!"

Wei Shuyi laughed out of surprise.

Chang Suining couldn't help but nodded—it was obvious that he really didn't want to see him anymore, even Ah Dian could tell.

"That's not all..." Wei Shuyi unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a "wow", and there was nothing on the fan, he said with a smile: "Cui Ling'an doesn't want to see me, probably because I have one, but he doesn't."

Chang Suining blurted out: "Talk a lot?"

Wei Shuyi put away the folding fan in his hand, and slammed it on the top of her head: "No, no—"

Chang Sui Ning looked at him in disbelief.

How dare this person knock her on the head?

I'm afraid I didn't really drink too much.

"Cui Ling'an's biological mother died young, and his father was used to being strict with him, but he didn't like to obey, and he was born with such a rebellious body, so it was really not pleasing to the family... Although my parents said they were a bit out of tune, they were The advantage is that I never constrain me to do anything." Wei Shuyi sighed and shook his head: "Maybe because of this, although I have similarities with him when I was young, I gradually developed a completely different temperament."

This is what he has, but what Cui Jing doesn't have.

Chang Suining was noncommittal.

People's temperaments are different, and the paths they seek, plan, and do are also different, but parents cannot choose where they were born, and they can't get together in the same place. There are various barriers that cannot be resolved, and even see them as enemies. However, in etiquette and filial piety Underneath, it is also difficult to separate——

As Wei Shuyi said, he was lucky to have a pair of good parents, the atmosphere in the family was harmonious and relaxed, and no one restrained him.

But Cui Jing didn't have such good luck.

Neither did she.

Chang Suining looked forward.

But fortunately, she has been cut off.

Although the process is like cutting bones.

"But there is one thing that Cui Ling'an has, but I don't have it." Wei Shuyi squinted his eyes and looked at the fiery Chunyang while speaking.

Ah Dian followed him and looked over: "Is it the sun?"

Wei Shuyi smiled and nodded, not knowing whether it was true or false, he said: "General Dian is right, it is the sun."

Ah Dian then proudly puffed out his chest.

Chang Suining didn't delve into what he meant. Contrary to Wei Shuyi, she didn't like to overly explore things that had nothing to do with her.

Wei Shuyi looked at her, as if about to speak.

Chang Suining took the lead again: "Who does Wei Shilang think will take over as Minister of Rites?"

Wei Shuyi smiled and shook his head: "I can't speculate on this matter."

The saint chooses to attack the Pei family, which is very particular.

Therefore, it is particularly important who will take over Pei Min's original position as Minister of Rites.

But it's not just that the saint has the final say.

Those family ministers will not give in easily.

And what the sage said doesn't count, so he doesn't need to say more.

So he just sighed and said: "The court has been arguing endlessly over this for the past two days, and the sage has a headache...and some are arguing."

"But... Madam Chang actually cares about court affairs?" He looked at Chang Suining with a slight smile, and asked jokingly, "I wonder who Madam Chang thinks is competent?"

Asking this question to a girl in a boudoir who has just reached Ji, it sounds like a teasing joke.

Chang Suining was not ashamed of being teased, but replied firmly, "I think it must be Mr. Chu."

Wei Shuyi's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Lord Chu? Mrs. Chang is not talking about Taifu Chu who was once the teacher of His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince, right?"

"Exactly."

Wei Shuyi laughed: "Ms. Chang knows a little about the officials in the court. Does Mrs. Chang know how old Mrs. Chu is?"

Chang Suining said without hesitation, "It's almost seventy."

Wei Shuyi was a little surprised, but his smile didn't fade: "Then Madam Chang should also know that I will serve as an official at seventy?"

Chang Suining asked back: "Isn't this just right?"

Thinking of something, Wei Shuyi's eyes moved slightly, and his smile faded a lot.

After a while, he smiled and asked: "Ms. Chang's opinion is quite different... I don't know where I heard it from?"

Chang Suining glanced at him: "Do I have to listen to it elsewhere?"

Wei Shuyi smiled slightly: "..."

For the first time in my life I was so offended.

Looking at the calm girl beside him, he said with a smile: "I didn't know before that Mrs. Chang is also interested in government affairs."

Chang Suining was noncommittal.

She couldn't help but not be interested.

"If Mrs. Chang has this ambition, she may enter the inner court of the palace in the future and take a female history exam to do it." Wei Shuyi said somewhat seriously: "In this way, the talent of Mrs. Chang will not be buried."

Chang Suining: "That's not necessary."

Wei Shuyi: "Oh?"

"Although today's sages are all women, the only one who really has the right to participate in politics in the court is Ming Nv Shi." Chang Sui Ning said calmly: "It's not easy for a woman to be an official in the palace, and the opportunities are even rarer— —”

Since there is a big world, why would she bother to go to this small world to compete with them, who are already not easy, for this little snack.

And entering the palace, it is bound to be restricted everywhere.

But now her self-protection ability is limited, she will be crushed to death if she struggles a little bit, the real power struggle in the palace cannot be escaped with a fight like Ming Jin.

Furthermore, if you start from a young female official in the inner court, if you want to get the right to participate in politics, it will take at least ten years of accumulation——

Too slow for my liking.

And I have to serve the Empress Ming, and I don't like it even more.

She wants to do what she loves.

"I don't want to compete with women..." Wei Shuyi asked with a smile: "Then Mrs. Chang is going to compete with men?"

"I didn't say that." Chang Suining walked forward, suddenly yawned, and said casually, "How can I compete with others?"

She raised her head slightly, only to feel that today's sun made her feel a little dry and hot.

While talking, the garden is in front of you.

Ah Dian entered the garden and began to pick up stones, not forgetting to distribute some to Chang Suining, and took Wei Shuyi to the largest pond in the garden.

On the other side, the banquet in the dining hall has ended.

After Chu Xing and others left, Chang Kuo took Cui Jing to the study alone, saying that he had something important to ask him.

"What is the general referring to?" Cui Jing asked seriously after entering the study room, where there was no one else around.

Chang Kuo sat in the chair, didn't speak for a while, just stared at him steadfastly.

Cui Jing was looked at a little inexplicably.

But he has always been able to hold back his temper, so Chang Kuo let Chang Kuo stare at him.

After a while, Chang Kuo hesitated to speak: "There are no outsiders here, so let me ask Governor Cui, do you have any thoughts about my daughter? Do you want to be my Chang family's son-in-law!"

Cui Jing looked slightly startled: "...?"

General Chang clearly ate food when he was drinking?
——How did you get so drunk?

"No way." He answered without hesitation.

He even thought it was absurd, and couldn't help but frown inexplicably: "Why did the general say that?"

Chang Kuo spread his hands: "Then why did you give half of the copper talisman to my daughter?"

He knew about it when he was in Dayun Temple, but he never found a chance to ask Cui Jing face to face!
Cui Jing said truthfully: "Miss Chang hit Ming Jin that day in order to stand up for Senior A Dian. I am afraid that there will be troubles in the future. Senior is from the Xuan Ce Mansion. This is my dereliction of duty. I gave the bronze talisman just for a little while. Just to make up for—"

Chang Kuo understood: "Oh...that's what happened!"

He thought it was uncharacteristic for the other party to give the bronze talisman, and he took the initiative to get involved with others, but he didn't know that it was because he didn't want to owe and didn't want to get involved——

"If the general feels something is wrong, Cui Jing will take it back."

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Chang Kuo stretched his brows and eyes, put his heart back in his stomach, and said apologetically at this moment: "There is nothing out of the ordinary about this move, it's really my fault that my daughter is really too attractive Some, I can't help but think about it, and I can't help but ask one more question... I think Chief Cui should understand the feeling of being a father, right?"

Cui Jing: "..."

Obviously, he can't.

"Anyway, I thought it wrong, don't blame it, don't blame it, I'll punish myself with a cup!" Chang Kuo said, grabbed the teacup on the side, and drank it down.

After drinking this cup of tea, he became even more drunk, and asked with a smile: "But having said that, Ling An... it's time for you to think about getting a wife, right?"

　Good night everyone~ (Today's work is done by the cat supervisor! Let me show you my supervisor)
