Chapter 14
Zhaozhou is Yinzhou. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was divided into Dingzhou Zhaojun and Xiangzhou Nanjulu County. After that, Xiangzhou Beiguangping County was included. In the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yin was changed to Zhao in order to avoid the taboo of the name of Gaoyang Prince Gao Yin.

After Yin Prefecture was established, Nanjulu County was renamed Nanzhao County, and its subordinate Zhongqiu County was the destination for Cui Che to visit relatives for Miao Rong.

As the saying goes, closer to the hometown is more timid. Miaorong doesn't know the current situation of her parents and elder brother, her heart hangs all day long, depressed.

Seeing this, Cui Che secretly asked a young servant to leave the team on horseback, and went one step ahead to inquire about the news according to the address Miao Rong had mentioned earlier.

If misfortune happened on the way and he couldn't return home, Cui Che would find an excuse to change his route. He would rather be a villain in front of her than hear the bad news and be heartbroken.

Fortunately, when they were about to arrive in Zhongqiu County, the young man reported that Miaorong's family was safe and sound, and they had to return the fields and houses, which were sold at a low price. It is said that they wanted to go to Yecheng to redeem their daughter.

Cui Che told Miao Rong about this matter, saw her crying and laughing, and suggested:
"Now your parents are indeed raising money to redeem you. Do you want to stay in Zhongqiu to be with your family?"

Miaorong hesitated for a long time, but still shook her head firmly and refused.

"Why, do you want to stay by my side to serve?"

Cui Che's joke made Miao Rong blush again. After all, the little girl who was only 12 years old couldn't save her face, so she made an excuse and said:
"If you sell all the farms and houses, brother, how can you get a wife?"

"I won't accept a ransom from your family."

Cui Che laughed.

Miao Rong couldn't help but stomped her foot on the carriage and said angrily:
"I won't talk to Mr. Xiao Lang anymore."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and only gave Cui Che the back of his head.

Cui Che was even more delighted to see her shy appearance.

The night before his departure, his grandmother told him about her promise to Miaorong, and Cui Che did not object. Although Miaorong was six years older than him, she had no heart, and she was not very smart, but she looked really good. Delicate and cute, really flattering.

Of course, Madam Feng put Miao Rong beside Cui Che because she was stupid. If she was a caring and charming girl, she would have seduced her precious grandson, causing him to vent his yang energy early and ruin his health.

The carriage drove into Zhongqiu County, and only found an inn to settle down. Cui Che sent his servants to the market to buy, and asked several servants to accompany Miaorong to buy silk clothes. This time, he planned to let her go back to her hometown, so she couldn't dress up as a maid again.

Miao Rong thought it would be a waste of money and wanted to refuse, but Cui Che insisted:
"Grandmother told me everything about you, so naturally I can't treat you like an ordinary maid. Now that you're visiting relatives in your hometown, you're poorly dressed, and you'll lose face to the Boling Cui family."

Hearing Cui Che's words, Miao Rong was both ashamed and happy in her heart. Although Old Madam Feng had promised her, she had been worried that Cui Che would not like it before. Seeing that he was willing to accept her, how could she go against the other party's wishes, let alone Cui Che brought out the face of the Cui family of Boling, and he couldn't refuse it at all.

When Miao Rong appeared in front of Cui Che in a new dress, he was really taken aback.

How else do you say that people rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, Miao Rong has an oval face, handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows, looking forward to flying, covered in a blue silk dress, wearing a pearl bun, hanging gold hairpins, such a beautiful appearance, I don’t know on the way back to the inn How many people mistakenly thought it was a noble girl traveling.

"Let's go, it's time to let the villagers see how decent you are now."

After recovering, Cui Che held Miao Rong's hand and said with a smile.

But Miao Rong is still reminiscing about Cui Che's expression of surprise before.

Zhang Wu was left to lead the guards to guard more than ten carts of goods. Cui Che and Miao Rong rode in a carriage, surrounded by nearly a hundred servants and maidservants, left the city and set foot on the country road.

Miaorong's home is not far from the county seat, but the road is really difficult, the country road is very bumpy.

Cui Che could only comfort himself:
"Thinking about getting used to the bumps of the carriage, it won't be too difficult to learn how to ride a horse in the future." '

Madam Feng's plan for Cui Che is of course that he wants him to follow the route of a civil servant. After all, there is only such a single seedling in the family, so she is willing to let him go to practice martial arts and go to the battlefield.

But in this chaotic world, Cui Che felt that he had to learn some martial arts for self-defense, and to keep fit.

Today's ethos is different from that of the Northern Song Dynasty. Confucianism's martial spirit has not been castrated, and the elite of the scholar family also encourages the children of the clan to learn both civil and military skills.

Although Cui Che's grandfather, Cui Jishu, was a civil servant, the title of the Eastern Wei boxing champion was not just boasting.

Yuan Shanjian was 25 years old when he was beaten, and he was young and strong. According to historical records, he was able to carry a stone lion over a wall and hit every shot. '

With such great strength, Cui Jishu beat him violently. This Eastern Wei boxing champion deserved his title.

You think that Gao Cheng randomly appointed someone to beat the emperor, but he didn't just shout, he came prepared.

It's a pity that my grandfather passed away early, and I couldn't learn the essence of his Ou Di's three fists, so I can only wait for my bones to grow up, and find someone to teach me how to ride and shoot.

There are four members in Miaorong's family, now that she is missing, there are only three members in the family, all of them are duty-bound, and there are not so many dirty things.

There are several acres of Susukida and an old house in the family, but they were eager to sell some time ago, and the rich man in the village deliberately lowered the price and bought them at a low price.

The old house is still rented by their family, and the land is also rented from the rich man. Although the money in hand is already the same as when Miaorong was sold into Cui's mansion, it is expected that the Cui family will raise the asking price, so they are still saving money and preparing to spend more money. Save some money and go to Yecheng to find your daughter. .

Cui Che didn't go straight to the old house of Miaorong's family, but first went to the rich man's house to redeem the fields and land deeds at a high price.

It is said to be a high price, but in fact it is double the price of a wealthy landowner. In this era, a land deed in the countryside, a few acres of Susukida, is really not worth much.

Watching the team of slaves go away, the local rich man said in shock:
"This girl from the Wang family was favored by a nobleman and changed her life."

He had never been out of the county in his life, so he couldn't recognize the Boling Cui family's logo on the carriage. He had asked for double the asking price, and the servant who came forward agreed without blinking an eye, but he regretted it.

It's not that I didn't think about regretting it, but just looking at the clothes of those servants and maidservants, I knew that I couldn't provoke them, so I had to suffer this loss. After all, less profit is a loss.

Before the group arrived at Miaorong's house, they had already attracted the attention of the villagers. They murmured in low voices, wondering when the Wang family had a relationship with such a noble person.

Many urchins who were about the same age as Cui Che ran up to the carriage and looked at it curiously.

Miaorong opened the door curtain and walked out of the carriage, and heard many people exclaiming.

"Isn't this a girl from the Wang family!"

"It's not that she worked as a servant girl in Yecheng, why, why is she dressed so expensively!"

There were also village women with sharp eyes who shouted into the house:

"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, your daughter is back!"

 Ask for a recommendation ticket.
