Chapter 21
Cui Zhongfang certainly has the right to be arrogant. He was favored by Yu Wentai when he was 15 years old, and he was ordered to be a classmate of Zhuzi. Yang Jian was also among them. The two had a deep friendship since childhood.

When the emperor Yu Wenyong set out to destroy Qi, Cui Zhongfang presented [-] strategies, which surprised Yu Wenyong. He also said that he would surrender four cities.

Now serving his parents at home is because he was appointed as the commander of the army yesterday, and he will go to Huainan in two days to assist the king of the state of Tan.

Cui Xuanyou received the three of Cui Che in the main hall. Just like Cui Zhongfang's attitude, Cui Xuanyou ignored Pei Xiu and Feng Deyi, and only asked about Cui Che's past experience and what he had seen along the way.

It was because of his grandfather Cui Jishu's face that Cui Che could win his fancy and show kindness.

Kaifuyi, the great general, and little Situ, who are dignified with nine lives, have no place to speak in front of Cui Xuanyou, Pei Xiu and Feng Deyi.

Cui Che was well aware of this, and he did not find topics for Pei Xiu and Feng Deyi, but answered Cui Xuanyou's many questions respectfully and decently, and then wrote "Ode to the Goose" and "Resignation from Mother" that he wrote earlier. "Submitted to Cui Xuanyou for review.

"Are you writing these two poems?"

After watching, Cui Xuanyou said in doubt.

Cui Che didn't blush, and his heart didn't beat, he replied:
"It's all my nephew's feelings."

Seeing that Cui Che was being questioned, Pei Xiu who was on the side was not happy. She completely forgot that he also had such doubts before, so she interjected like Miao Rong and explained the origin of the poem "Ode to the Goose" for Cui Che.

Cui Xuanyou let out a long sigh, and said to Cui Zhongfang:
"If there is a holiday in the sky, those who advocate the cultural movement of our clan will definitely be cured!"

As a rising star among the top clans, the Boling Cui Clan is as prosperous as the others, but not as prosperous as the others.

Hearing his father's admiration, Cui Zhongfang quickly took the two poems and read them. After silently reciting, he also looked at Cui Che with amazement.

Although Cui Xuanyou and his son and Cui Che belong to the second house and the third house, there may be secret fights between the houses, but they will never suppress the backward members of the family. If there is such an atmosphere, the Boling Cui family will not have today's status.

After all, if Cui Che really achieves something in the future, he will contribute to the clan's prestige, and it will not only benefit the third family, but the entire Cui family's children.

For example, Cui Jishu, who was lonely since he was a child, was able to serve as the governor of Dingzhou at the age of 17. In later generations, it is equivalent to entering the provincial leadership team, and it is not because the whole family made him famous together.

Besides, although Cui Che has poetic talent, Cui Zhongfang, the son of Cui Xuanyou, is more strategic. In comparison, military affairs are far better than dancing and writing.

Received Cui Xuanyou's praise, Cui Che bowed and replied:

"Uncle's praise, Che didn't dare to take it, but he is willing to take it as an encouragement, sincerely learn from it, and shine on the family!"

"Okay! You should have such an ambition!"

Cui Xuanyou applauded loudly.

Immediately after, they called their grandsons Cui Mintao, Cui Mindi, Cui Minling and granddaughter Cui Linggui, and asked them to salute Cui Che and call them uncles.

Cui Linggui, the youngest of the four, was already 15 years old, and it felt awkward to salute a seven-year-old boy as his nephew.

Cui Xuanyou also suggested:
"Che'er might as well live here!"

"Thank you uncle for your kindness. However, my nephew's trip is for studying, not to visit relatives. He usually interacts with his classmates and may be disturbed. Although Che can't ask uncle for advice day and night, he will visit from time to time to ask uncle for advice."

Cui Che said sincerely.

Cui Xuanyou didn't think it was disobedient, so he urged his servants to prepare meals quickly, and he planned to host a banquet for the three of them.

Since Cui Che and others were still young, they did not prepare dance music, and there were many school exams during the banquet, and Cui Che answered each one fluently, which made Cui Xuanyou more satisfied.

Feng Deyi acted as a foil for the whole process, with almost no sense of presence, but he also knew that when he met for the first time, he was warmly received as a nephew. It had to be a real nephew. He was only nine years old, and Cui Xuanyou was not from the same family. How could he be treated differently.

Today's visit is just to leave an impression in the hearts of Cui Xuanyou and his son. In the future, they will walk around with Cui Che a lot, and the relationship will naturally become acquainted.

The three of them ate and drank enough, and it was getting dark, so they immediately bid farewell.

Being sent out of the mansion by Cui Zhongfang, the three of Cui Che bid farewell to him.

The servants waiting outside the mansion also had their meals nearby, and they surrounded the three of them back to the inn to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Zhang Wu brought the tooth dealer over, and took Cui Che and Feng Deyi to buy a house. As for Pei Xiu, he didn't need it, the better he was, the better he would live with Cui Che.

Although living in Chang'an is not easy, such difficulties obviously have nothing to do with Cui Che. Thinking of staying here for a long time in the future, Cui Che bought a five-entry courtyard, and Feng Deyi also bought a three-entry house.

After paying the bill on the spot and clearing the payment, a group of servants moved the salute to the new house respectively.

Cui Che and Feng Deyi's new home are not far away, on the same road. When parting, Feng Deyi asked Cui Che if he would worship under Li Delin's school with him, Cui Che declined, saying that he still needs to think about it .

Feng Deyi's trip to the west this time is because of the idea of ​​studying Li Delin.

Li Delin is from Cui Che's hometown, and he is from Anping, Boling.

Emperor Yu Wenyong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty admired Li Delin for a long time. After entering Yecheng, he specially sent people to his mansion to express condolences, saying:
The benefit of being equal lies only in you. '

This made Prime Minister Cao, who said "I don't like Jingzhou, but I like Kuai Yiduer", call him an expert.

Cui Che's understanding of Li Delin is more because he co-authored "Book of Northern Qi" with his son Li Baiyao.

Li Delin moved to Chang'an with him, and Feng Deyi wanted Li Delin to be his teacher because he valued that he was loved by the emperor, but Cui Che knew that this hero who ruled the north would not have much life left, so he had to find someone to study hard in Chang'an A teacher with a wider heart.

After picking and choosing, Cui Che set his sights on another great Confucian, Xu Wenyuan.

Xu Wenyuan's name is Kuang, and his style name is Wenyuan. His father is Nanliang Secretary Lang, and his mother is Princess Anchang, the daughter of Liang Yuan Emperor Xiao Yi. After the fall of Jiangling, Xu Wenyuan and his brother Xu Xiu were taken captive to Chang'an.

Because his family was poor and unable to support himself, his brother Xu Xiu made a living selling books. Xu Wenyuan taught himself in his brother's bookstore.

Cui Che chose to worship under him, and it was also for his future contacts. According to historical records, Yang Xuangan, the eldest son of Yang Su, and Li Mi, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, the great-grandson of Wei Guogong Li Bi, all learned from him.

Of course, there is only Yang Xuangan now, and Li Mi will be born a few years away.

This Li Mi is not Li Mi who wrote "Chen Qing Biao", but Li Mi from Wagang Village in the late Sui Dynasty.
