Chapter 40 Identity ()

After talking about business, Chen Zhuo and Feng Wenming turned their heads together with a tacit understanding.

This little mute who fell from the sky with a strange origin was able to draw a blueprint for a new type of shaft plow. Looking at his masterful and masterful way of writing, one can't help but think of him.

Perhaps, the little mute has many such drawings in his mind...

The princess has found a treasure.

Chen Zhuo whispered: "Princess, Mr. Cui has made great achievements. Do you want to mention it in the memorial?"

Jiang Shaohua said lightly: "No need. His identity is unknown, he cannot speak, and he is so young. It is not suitable to attract too much attention. This princess will not treat him lightly. There are still three vacancies in the official palace, let him choose one. Let’s live here. From now on, our food and clothing standards will be as good as those of Shen Gongzheng.”

Any mistakes must be punished, and merits must be rewarded. This is what it should be.

Chen Zhuo nodded in agreement.

Feng Wenming always felt something strange in his heart when he heard the sentence "so young". The princess and the little mute are actually about the same age... It's a good thing that the princess is calm and calm, but she also lacks the liveliness and vigor that a girl of this age should have.

Jiang Shaohua glanced over: "Does Feng Changshi have something to say?"

Feng Wenming calmed down and said, "I am thinking that Mr. Cui lives in the official palace, so he must have a name."

Jiang Shaohua nodded approvingly: "Feng Changshi is still thoughtful. Please think carefully about Feng Changshi. What is a suitable name for him?"

Feng Wenming: "..."

As a minister, you should share your lord's worries.

Feng Wenming's mind began to spin rapidly, and he quickly came up with an idea: "Publicly claim that Mr. Cui is a distant relative of the princess. Since all the elders in the family have died, he came here specifically to seek refuge with the princess."

Since we want to keep the little mute, we must give him a reasonable and appropriate identity.

Chen Zhuo thought for a while and said, "That's not appropriate. The princess is young now and will grow up year by year. Young Master Cui and the princess are of the same age, so it is not appropriate to get involved with the princess. To avoid any unpleasant rumors in the future."

For example, he has raised a son-in-law since he was a child.

Feng Wenming also noticed Chen Zhuo's reminder and stood up to apologize with a remorseful look on his face: "I didn't think carefully, please forgive me, Princess."

Jiang Shaohua said with a smile: "Feng Changshi has good intentions, how can I, the princess, blame him?" After a pause, he said: "Grandma has a biological sister who married into the Bolingcui family. My aunt died of illness two years ago. Let's tell the public. Mr. Cui is my great-aunt's nephew and descendant, and he came to seek refuge with Commander Song."

Song Yuan was the nephew of the late Princess Beihai. He came to Nanyang County at the age of fifteen and became the military commander of the Nanyang Palace.

It is common nowadays for a nephew to come to live with his uncle. It makes sense for the princess to treat Mr. Cui favorably for Commander Song's sake.

Feng Wenming repeatedly agreed.

Chen Zhuo was thoughtful and thought deeper. The princess had obviously long ago intended to keep the little mute, and this identity had been carefully considered. I just said it through Feng Wenming's mouth today.

Cui Du was still immersed in drawing, unaware that he had become Commander Song's "nephew".

Jiang Shaohua smiled and ordered: "Tu Bai, go to the kitchen and give instructions to prepare a banquet of good wine and food. Tonight I will invite Chen and Feng, the commander-in-chief of Song Dynasty, and Mr. Shen Gongzheng and Cui to have dinner with us."

Tubai quickly accepted the order and left to make arrangements for dinner.

Song Yuan, who was guarding the door, was called in. When he heard Jiang Shaohua's arrangement, Song Yuan nodded without any hesitation: "The last general will be Mr. Cui's uncle from now on."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly.

She made this arrangement, firstly, to give Cui Du a public identity, and secondly, for Song Yuan's consideration. If Song Yuan refuses to marry and have children like in his previous life, at least he will have juniors around him who will be filial to him and provide for him in his old age.

Cui Du was immersed in his own world, unaware that he had become the nephew of Song Tongling, a celebrity in the palace. The light gradually dimmed, and Yin Zhu lit the candlestick with a fire stick. The eight candlesticks were lit one by one, and the main hall was as bright as day.

Cui Du was a little tired from painting. He rubbed his right wrist with his left hand, exhaled and looked up. Only then did he realize that there were several people around him, all staring at him.

Cui Du was so frightened by the sight that he subconsciously cast a look for help at the princess he was most familiar with.

The princess pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't be nervous. Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi heard that the drawings were made by you, and they were curious and took a look."

Chen Zhuo and Feng Wenming smiled warmly in cooperation.

Do they know that laughing like this is actually scary? It’s easy to think of the Smiling Tiger!

Cui Du was complaining crazily in his heart, with a well-behaved look on his face.

Jiang Shaohua smiled again and said, "By the way, this is your uncle Commander Song. Come and salute."

Cui Du: "..."

After a cup of tea, Cui Du came back to his senses.

Very good!
  The princess has arranged an upright and upright identity for him! This Song Yuan was the princess' elder and confidant. Even the princess would call him uncle in private. He won't suffer at all by calling his uncle.

Cui Du thought happily, quickly put down the charcoal pen, raised his hands and saluted Song Yuan.

Song Yuan was serious by nature and did not smile much. He did not smile much at such a happy event as "recognizing his nephew". He only nodded slightly and reached out to help Cui Du up.

Chen Zhuolang laughed loudly and said: "It is a happy event for uncle and nephew to reunite. I will join in the fun today." He casually took off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Cui Du as a gift.

Feng Wenming didn't have the habit of wearing a jade pendant, but he used his usual gold abacus as a gift. The golden abacus is only as big as a palm and can be stuffed into a sleeve pocket. It is exquisite and compact.

Chen Mu rubbed his fingers in embarrassment, thought for a while, and pulled off the mutton-fat jade ring on his hand.

Cui Du wanted to refuse, but his newly recognized uncle said, "These are elders, so you should accept the things that are given to you."

Cui Du collected them honestly and stuffed them all into his sleeve pocket.

Jiang Shaohua looked at this scene with a smile, and then opened his mouth and said: "I also have a gift for you. I will have someone send it to Mr. Cui's residence in the evening."

The first rule Cui Du learned in Nanyang Prince's Mansion was to be respectful to the princess. He immediately handed over his hands to express gratitude after hearing this.

Although Cui Du could not speak, the scene of recognizing relatives was still lively.

Just as he was about to move to the dining hall, Eunuch Zhao came with Xiangfeng: "We are also coming to join in the fun."

Jiang Shaohua smiled and glanced at Qiu Yuanshang beside Eunuch Zhao: "I was planning to send someone to invite Eunuch Zhao." Eunuch Zhao had just arrived, so naturally it was Qiu Dianshan who was well-informed.

Qiu Yuanshang unnaturally avoided the princess' clear gaze.

Chen Zhuo coughed and introduced Cui Du to Eunuch Zhao with a smile: "Eunuch Zhao, this Young Master Cui is the nephew of Commander Song. There are no elders in the family, so he came to Nanyang County to join Commander Song."

Cui Du obediently raised his hands and saluted.

I have been doing more salutes recently, and my posture is stylish.

Eunuch Zhao looked at him with a smile and praised: "Mr. Cui is very handsome. He is even more handsome than our family when they were young."

Cui Du: "..."

　There are still three updates today, two in the morning, and another update at 8pm (#^.^#)
