Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 452 Cui Family Affairs (continued)
In all fairness, "Mochou has no confidant in the future, and no one in the world knows the king." Although these two lines of poems have been widely circulated in later generations, they are not considered to be the best lines of all ages.

But coupled with Li Shan's feat, the bold meaning in the poem jumps out, and it has a majestic momentum.

Miss Cui imagined carefully, her smile was sweet, her face and neck were flushed unconsciously, and Cui Xin was so angry that she had nowhere to vent.

But since her daughter moved to Beijing, she was often reprimanded by her mother because of her marriage, and she was sad all day long, but now she is smiling all over her face, which comforts Cui Xin's love for her daughter... Forget it, that boy is cheap!

But still have to wait until the age of 15 and Ji!

No, no, the concubines and maidservants next to that kid, it would be bad if he had a concubine eldest son... How about a little earlier?
Cui Xin was in a state of confusion for a moment, and suddenly thought, although Li Shan's family is in decline, he is still a descendant of a famous family. I heard that his mother is not ordinary, so he shouldn't have any eldest son, right?
Cui Xin sighed, and casually recounted the grand occasion of Xia City, and then talked about what he saw that day, and sighed: "I have never seen such parents in my life... I have been in office for half a year, and I have such a reputation. Huai Ren Live up to Huairen's name."

Miss Cui's eyes are shining.

Cui Xin said softly: "My daughter has the eyes, Huai Ren is indeed a rare hero, and the article "Ai Lian Shuo" is really a perfect match."

Miss Cui raised her sleeves to cover her flushed cheeks, and said with a smile: "My lord father has just returned to Beijing, so I don't know yet... On the day when the Mayi battle report was sent to Beijing, His Majesty Jinkou praised Li Langjun, saying that Li Langjun is the best in the world. First class!"

"Top in the world?" Cui Xin murmured and repeated, "It's worthy of it."

A look of joy appeared on Miss Cui's face, "Father said so!"

Cui Xin was a little surprised, and after asking a few words, he found out that the evaluation of "the world's first class" spread to the public, and there was quite a lot of discussion. Although Li Shan had friendship with the children of the Li family in Longxi, the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the Lu family in Fanyang, there were still some people Quite dissenting.

This is unavoidable. Although Li Tang practiced imperial examinations in the first dynasty, and abandoned the imperial examinations in the Sui Dynasty and did not give examples from poor families, the family still occupies the mainstream...Although many people speculate that Li Shan is not a child of a poor family, but after all, his father and grandparents are unknown, so there are naturally people. Dissatisfied with this.

Because in the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, only the top-notch descendants are eligible to be named the first rank... such as the Eastern Jin Dynasty calligrapher Wang Xizhi.

Cui Xinxin thought, Shen Guogong Li Mu went through the three dynasties of Wei, Zhou, and Sui. He was an official residence in Taishi, Shangzhu, and Taifu. Li Jincai was convicted and passed down through four generations, and the reputation of Li Shan's generation is enough to be rated as top-ranking.

Now that this aspect was mentioned, Cui Xin also made it clear, "Father and grandparents don't need to inquire, this matter must not be leaked for a while, don't worry."

Miss Cui restrained her smile, and said seriously: "Li Langjun is a genius, he strives hard, and he also has a noble character. He said on the same day that his father and grandparents should get their own fame."

Noble conduct... This word made Cui Xin's teeth ache for a while, as far as that kid's words and deeds, are they worthy of noble conduct?

This time we got together for more than half a month, and Cui Xin could see Li Shan's temperament, he was kind and righteous, decisive in killing and attacking, quite cunning, but also deeply thoughtful... You can see that Liu Shirang was forced to that point.

But Cui Xin also knows that the world is initially settled, but there are disputes over the heirloom inside, and Turkic tigers watch outside, people with high morals... may not be able to keep their families, and people like Li Shan have more opportunities to reshape the lintel.

The father and daughter chatted for a while, when footsteps came from outside, Mrs. Zhang entered the door with a smile, "The Li family has posted a message."

Miss Cui blushed, Cui Xin asked in surprise: "Huiren only has a widowed mother..."

Logically speaking, widows rarely take the initiative to post and pay homage.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "It's the Hakka cousin."

Cui Xin suddenly realized that his grandmother was Li Keshi's aunt, and the two were cousins, but the relationship was a little distant, but when Li Keshi was serving as a soldier in Youzhou, the two met each other.

In fact, Li Kai was at the top of Cui Xin's list of selecting a son-in-law.

"When will you come to the door?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her daughter, and then said: "It's not a trip to the door. The wintersweet is in full bloom in Dongshan Temple outside the city. We invite you to climb the mountain to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Cui Xin scratched his beard, hesitated for a while before nodding his head and said: "I have heard that Dongshan Temple has stored scriptures from the West for a long time, and it is worth appreciating."

After a pause, Cui Xin looked at his daughter and added: "The mountain road is rugged, so you don't have to go."

"Father!"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "The Li family also has female relatives who come to the temple to offer incense. Since there are no outside men, you might as well go together."

Uh, this outsider is naturally referring specifically to Li Shan... Miss Cui immediately hugged her mother's arm and smiled like a flower.

Mrs. Zhang hugged her daughter and was about to explain a few words, when she suddenly saw the ruby ​​in the box on the case, she couldn't help but look away, and said pleasantly: "It's such a gem, it's just a golden step to match it!"

Cui Xinweng said in a low voice, "Send it back and send it back...I'd better leave it to Sanlang. I met a member of the Liu clan in Xie County in Dai County this time, and I want to make a daughter. It's just a dowry gift."

"Then how do you do it!" Mrs. Zhang snorted, "This is originally my daughter's!"

Cui Xin didn't bother to say anything else, so he babbled a few words and went out. Although he only returned to Beijing yesterday, he still had to go to Zhongshu Province today, at least to say hello to Zhongshu Ling and the two Zhongshu assistants.

Of course, Cui Xin has other goals.

The first person to greet him was Yuwen Shiji, the Minister of Zhongshu, "Mr. Cui is finally back."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cui Xin said in a low voice: "Before leaving, Huairen asked to greet him on his behalf... There are still some gift slips, which will be sent to the mansion in two days."

Yuwen Shiji nodded clearly, and said with a smile: "I will ask for a bowl of wedding wine in the future."

"That's natural."

After hesitating for a while, Yuwen Shiji asked in a low voice, "How is Huairen doing in Dai County?"

"Ma Yi and his party were not injured this time, right?"

Cui Xin took a deep look at Yuwen Shiji, shook his head and said, "It's safe and sound."

Cui Xin also once asked Li Shan why Yuwen Shiji was so protective... Li Shan mentioned Princess Nanyang and Zen Master Yuwen who returned to Jiuquan in an unpredictable tone.

Although he doesn't understand psychology, Cui Xin also vaguely feels that Yuwen Shi and his protection of Li Shan have nothing to do with conflicts of interest.

After meeting Zhongshuling Yang Gongren and another Zhongshu servant Wen Daya one after another, Cui Xin walked out of Zhongshu Province, walked across Chengtianmen Street, bumped into each other, and called on Zhongjiang Guogong Chen Shuda on behalf of Li Shan... ...Among the prime ministers, Chen Shuda and Li Shan have the closest personal relationship, a bit like the friendship between gentlemen.

"Huiren opened up business routes, and it seems that he has made a lot of profits." Chen Shuda laughed and said, "I actually asked Cui Sheren to give him a gift."

Cui Xin was also very speechless. Before leaving, Li Shan made a list and asked him to give him gifts... You can't go back during the Spring Festival, but gifts still have to be given.

As far as the few people I saw today, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshiji, and Chen Shuda are all on the list...but they may not be the person himself. For example, Yang Gongren's eldest son Yang Siyi is on the other side.

After chatting for a while, Cui Xin got up to leave, and suddenly asked: "By the way, I haven't called on Prime Minister Pei yet..."

Chen Shuda didn't notice it at all, "Brother Hongda caught a cold a few days ago, and he was recuperating in the residence."

Cui Xin's eyes flickered, and he saluted and said goodbye... As the Cui family of Qinghe, he was almost trapped in Mayi by Pei Shiju this time. Cui Xin has enough confidence to hate Pei Shiju.

Do you really think I have such a good temper? !
