Chapter 201 The First Visit to the Li Mansion

Chapter 201 The First Visit to the Li Mansion
In fact, Yang Su and Yang Guang can be regarded as two-way travel to a certain extent.

If Yang Su wanted to replace Gao Jiong, he had to help Yang Guang replace Yang Yong.

Yang Guang wanted to compete for the reserve position, and Yang Su, who was used to flattering and flattering, had to separate Yang Jian, Yang Yong and his son for him.

Cui Che left the Duke of Yan's mansion, but did not go home directly, and ordered the coachman to drive to Li Jing's mansion under the moonlight.

Knocking on the door of Li Jing's mansion, a doorman poked his head out, and Cui Che asked:
"I don't know if Yuanwailang is at home?"

The disciples didn't recognize Cui Che, but seeing him dressed in fine clothes, he didn't dare to neglect him, and replied respectfully:
"The head of the house has gone out."

Cui Che asked again:

"Do you know where he went? When can he come back?"

Menzi confessed:
"Don't dare to hide the honored guest, how can the servant ask about the whereabouts of the master."

Cui Che nodded, and didn't let the door pass the wedding invitation on his behalf. He walked down the steps and stood outside the mansion to wait.

In fact, Cui Che also had some guesses about Li Jing's whereabouts, he probably went to visit his uncle Han Qinhu.

Under the steps, Cui Che turned his back to Han Qinhu's direction, and whispered a few words to his follower, Wang De.

For a long time, Li Jing never returned to the mansion, but the door of Li's mansion was opened again, and a woman came out.

The woman saluted and said:
"If the honored guest has something to do, if it is convenient, you might as well tell the concubine first, and when the husband returns to the mansion, the concubine will tell the honored guest."

It turned out that it was the doorman who saw that Cui Che was dressed luxuriously and accompanied by young servants in brocade clothes, so he found the steward of the mansion and informed Li Jing's wife of the matter.

Cui Che refused:
"Ma'am, Mrs. Cui appreciates your kindness. There is nothing left or right tonight. Please allow Mrs. Cui to wait outside the mansion."

When Mrs. Li heard that Cui Che claimed to be Cui, she was immediately startled.

In the past few days when Li Jing returned home, he often mentioned Cui Che, Minister of the Ministry of War, to her. Looking at Cui Che's appearance and age, he is probably the current imperial consort, Duke Yan.

But Mrs. Li pretended not to know, she invited again:

"It's cold at night, it's better for distinguished guests to have a cup of hot tea first."

Cui Che waved his hand and said:
"Yuanwailang hasn't returned home yet, and Cui went to the mansion late at night, fearing that there will be rumors and rumors that will hurt Madam Qingyu."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li paid more respect to Cui Che, and felt that he was different from the rumors, that he was a respectful gentleman.

"The pure ones are clear, and the turbid ones are turbid. There are many slaves and maids in the mansion, which can be proved. The distinguished guests don't need to worry about this."

Cui Che still didn't move his feet, he insisted without squinting:
"Cui has made up his mind, please let Madam fulfill it."

Seeing this, Mrs. Li had no choice but to give up inviting Cui Che to enter the mansion and wait. After entering the mansion, Mrs. Li hurriedly dispatched her family servant to leave the mansion through the back door, and went to Han Qinhu's house to call Li Jing back.

When he returned to the inner courtyard, he said with emotion to Li Jing's concubine:

"There are many rumors in the market, claiming that Yan Guogong likes women and behaves badly. When I saw him today, he is clearly a modest gentleman. It can be seen how terrible the world's jealousy is. How dare he slander and tarnish people's reputation like this."

The concubine didn't care about Cui Che's character, but asked curiously:

"Sister, the Duke of Yan is known as the most handsome and handsome gentleman in the world. He is known as the resurrection of King Lanling. Does he live up to his name?"

The relationship between the two of them is very good, this concubine dared to ask Cui Che about his appearance.

Mrs. Li covered her mouth and smiled:
"If it's a lie, why would Princess Leping want to marry?"

When the two women were discussing, Cui Che was still standing in the evening wind, waiting for Li Jing to return home.

As the night darkened, I finally heard the faint sound of horseshoes behind me.

The sound of horseshoes came from far away, Cui Che's entourage, Wang De, did not dare to turn around to look at it, for fear of missing something.

However, he kept in mind Cui Che's previous instructions, as if he couldn't bear to see Cui Che greet Li Jing, and loudly persuaded him:

"No matter how much the Patriarch cherishes talents, he should also respect his identity. Li Jing is just a foreigner. Such courtesy is too much."

Cui Che is also an old drama player. He was furious and scolded Wang De loudly:

"Fourteen years ago, you were also one of my relatives who followed me to study in Guanzhong. You should know that when I was seven years old, my mentor thought that I was young and should go to school and refused to accept me.

"On a day of heavy snow, I stood outside the door for several hours, and only then did I impress my mentor.

"There is no wind and snow today, and my physique is far from what I could compare to when I was young, why can't I wait outside the mansion to ask Li Jing about the art of war now.

"Li Jing is a man who hides strategy in his chest, Han Qinhu said that he is the only one who can discuss the art of war with him, others think that Han Qinhu is bragging for his nephew.

"But in my opinion, it is Han Qinhu who is bragging about himself, and Li Jing's talent is far superior to him.

"Li Jing is a national scholar, you should treat him with the courtesy of a national scholar, how can you despise him!
"If I hear you being disrespectful to him again, my 14-year master-servant friendship is due to this!"

Wang De hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

Just as Cui Che planned, he didn't miss a word of what he said, and it all fell into Li Jing's ears.

Li Jing was moved, but also a little embarrassed, he looked at the burly man beside him, it was his uncle Han Qinhu.

Han Qinhu's face turned blue and then pale.

It was true that Li Jing was a guest at Han Qinhu's house before, but the servant of Li's mansion suddenly found him, and according to Mrs. Li's account, he claimed that Cui Che was waiting outside the mansion, so Li Jing hurriedly left.

And Han Qinhu was also very curious, and wanted to see what kind of medicine Cui Che was selling in the gourd, so he also followed.

Who would have thought that Cui Che actually said that Han Qinhu praised Li Jing, and that he was able to learn the art of war with him, but he was actually bragging, and he also said that Li Jing's talent was far better than Han Qinhu's.

But Han Qinhu's lungs were about to explode.

"Cui Zicheng! You bullied me too much!"

A loud shout from behind made Cui Che's hair stand on end in shock.

Cui Che and Han Qinhu didn't have a deep friendship, but they were ministers in the same hall and had some exchanges with each other, so they naturally recognized his voice.

Turning around, he saw Han Qinhu straddling his horse, and Li Jing beside him who was hesitant to speak.

In the end it was his fault, Cui Che pretended not to see Han Qinhu's anger, and said with a smile:
"I thought it was someone who yelled violently. On the Dangyang Bridge, Zhang Yide repelled the power of Cao Cao's pursuers. It turned out to be Duke Shouguang. Don't come here unharmed."

"Hmph, Mr. Han has no talent, so he can't afford to be greeted by Duke Yan."

Han Qinhu snorted coldly, but actually calmed down his anger.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and Cui Che has a higher official position and title than him, and his relationship with the saint is closer than himself. Could it be that he can really beat Cui Che, so he has to borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

The three entered Li's mansion, Cui Che poured wine to apologize to Han Qinhu for his previous gaffe.

Han Qinhu didn't hold a grudge, he knew that Cui Che was telling Li Jing on purpose, but he didn't expect to follow him.

After drinking the wine in the glass, all the previous unhappiness was left behind.

There was no other way, as before, he had been competing with He Ruobi for merit, and had already had conflicts with the prince's party.

If he had a bad relationship with Cui Che now, and he was hostile to King Jin's party, there would be no room for his descendants in the Great Sui Dynasty in the future.
