Crowned with Pearls

  Chapter 716 One Hundred Fifteen Night Run

   As expected by Xiao Heng and the others, as soon as the news of Cui Yuandao's return to Qifu came out, the officialdom was full of excitement, and the readers were even more happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

  Cui Yuandao is already old. Speaking of which, he is actually a little older than Yang Bodu. This time he left the mountain, his temples were already gray, and even his beard was gray.

  Cui Daru came to the capital, and the first person who felt relieved was Princess Fenyang. She set up a reception banquet at Juhaizhuang to welcome Cui Yuandao.

It was obviously a very private banquet, but because the guest was Cui Yuandao, the whole Juhai Village was lively. When the younger students and scholars heard the news that Cui Yuandao was coming to Juhai Village, they almost swarmed. And then, the water in the entire Juhaizhuangwei was blocked.

  Juhaizhuang has all the private rooms from the main building to the gardens on both sides.

   Such a grand scene is so rare that even Princess Fenyang couldn't help frowning: "This is too much."

   They were planning to build up momentum for Cui Yuandao, but they were careful in everything. After that line, the same thing would be completely different.

  Cui Yuandao touched his beard and thought the same way: "Too much, too much."

   He frowned and looked at Princess Fenyang, and patiently shook his head: "My old man is old."

   He really didn't want to go into this muddy water.

  However, even if he is a great Confucian, he cannot be truly extraordinary. He is a mortal body, so he has to be full of emotions and desires. He refuses, but the family has to use him.

   Princess Fenyang reached out and poured him a cup of tea with a smile, and nodded gently: "What my uncle taught is that we were frivolous."

   Her attitude was an understatement. Cui Yuandao looked at her, and he couldn't tell how uncomfortable he felt. When he was young, he was able to maintain his integrity. When he was about to get old, he looked at the faces of the younger generation everywhere.

   He hesitated, the meal felt like a stinger in his throat for some reason, and he ran out of food, so he said with a stern face, "I'm going back."

  The Cui family also has an old mansion in the capital, but Princess Fenyang immediately said, "I'll have someone go down and prepare for the carriage and horses."

   "No need." Cui Yuandao shook his head and refused: "I'll just go back to the old house."

   A Qingliu should have the appearance of Qingliu. What is it like to mix with Wang Jue?

  Cui Yuandao has not been an official for many years, but those habits and taboos when he was an official are engraved in his bones.

Princess Fenyang ignored Cui Yuandao's rejection, and when she heard him say that, she changed her mind with a slight smile, and asked someone to prepare the sedan chair, and then smiled gently at Cui Yuandao: "If that's the case, then follow your wishes, uncle, old house. I've already had people clean up, and it's appropriate for my uncle to go there whenever he wants."

   Her firm tone made Cui Yuandao very uncomfortable. After a long while, he gave a forbearance and then walked away.

   Don't give any face at all.

   Princess Fenyang didn't care, she still sat down.

The people at the bottom have already come up and removed all the dishes, and served tea and fruit snacks again. Mr. Cui took a sip of new tea and said softly: "Sir, he is not willing, the owner asked me to tell you that everything has to be slow. , don't let the gentleman finally give up."

Princess Fenyang sneered: "My father is too lenient towards him. The so-called great Confucianism is famous all over the world. Could it be that the Cui family has contributed money and efforts to help him spread the word? He is always proud and proud. The reason? The family supports him, and he should naturally make some contributions to the family."

   She coughed and said indifferently: "Don't worry about him, if you really have no desire for power, you won't come, it's just a matter of face, just hold it."

   She said so, and Mr. Cui couldn't say anything else, so he answered in a low voice.

   Princess Fenyang asked him again: "How is the matter over Qi Yunxi handled?"

   Mr. Cui immediately understood: "I have tried to contact Mr. Bai. He said that he would introduce people from the southeast for us, if it is true."

  Princess Fenyang hummed, her messy mood finally improved, and she said, "You will keep an eye on this matter, and notify me immediately if there is any news."

  If you can take over Qi Yunxi's power and connections and replace Qi Yunxi's position, then the benefits will be very exciting. Even a century-old family like the Cui family needs money to support the family's prosperity, and no one thinks that there is too much money.

  The two discussed it for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Princess Fenyang asked again, "Is the sixth cousin accompanying my uncle?"

   Seeing Mr. Cui nod, Princess Fenyang twitched the corners of her mouth: "Tell cousin Liu to let him serve his uncle patiently. He will have whatever he wants. In addition, send a gift to cousin Liu."

   Princess Fenyang made a generous move, and got the 50,000 taels of tickets in her hand, Cui Liuye swallowed and didn't know how to react for a while.

   A full 50,000 taels, the Cui family is a big family, but in the same way, there are also countless clansmen. If you add up, there will always be 30,000 to 40,000 clan members.

   Even if Cui Liuye is a direct descendant, but there are more direct descendants, so it is not so precious.

  50,000 taels, for a person like him who is not familiar with household affairs or production, and is not a family member or successor, it is indeed a considerable amount of wealth.

   Mr. Cui smiled meaningfully: "This meeting ticket was issued by Baotong Bank. When the sixth master is free, please let me know. I will send someone to accompany you to change your name at that time, and you can pay for it."

  The pie fell from the sky, Liu Ye Cui became more and more excited, and the father was arrogant, but why don't there be so many rooms in the family to eat?

   He immediately agreed.

   Mr. Cui left with satisfaction.

  The Cui family mansion was brightly lit. Mrs. He sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and glanced at the Cui family mansion, then turned to look at Su Yao: "Yao, are you really sure?"

  Cui Yuandao entered the cabinet, their hard work before was in vain, and now the situation in their favor is suddenly about to change.

   Naturally, they are not happy with this.

   But Cui Yuandao is really highly respected. As soon as he came out of the mountains, scholars all over the world could not wait to pay homage to him. For Emperor Yuanfeng, it was also a victory to some extent. It can be said that everyone is happy to see it happen.

  How to solve this problem, both Mrs. He and Mrs. Su are not optimistic, but Su Yao firmly said that she has a way.

  Although Mrs. He believed in her granddaughter's ability, she was inevitably a little murmured in her heart.

  Su Yao nodded lightly, knowing what her grandmother was worried about, she smiled slyly and rolled her eyes: "Grandma wait a minute."
