Dajin royal family

Chapter 201 Jiang and Cui

Before meeting Jiang Chengxiao, Cui Yunxiang had many guesses about him.Because of the fact that the son of King Zhao has gradually shown his prowess in the court in the past two years, many aristocratic families have paid attention to him.What's more, he is more or less connected with the emperor's series of actions, whether it is the rebellion of the King of Han, the suppression of Li Yuan, the Duke of Bingguo, or the feat of defending Loufan Pass, all of which can be seen. The shadow of the son.

The most important thing is that his status is quite special for the Shandong gentry, because his father Zhao Wang is the clan that the emperor relies heavily on, and his legal mother Zheng is the daughter of the Shandong gentry. To a certain extent, Jiang Chengxiao's There is actually the shadow of the Zheng family behind him.And the Zheng family is now one of the three leaders of the Shandong gentry, so it's hard not to be noticed with his identity.

But that's just a note.Because now his father Zhao Wang is the most worthy person for the Shandong gentry to make friends with.If it is said that Zheng Shanyuan had really completed his plan and married Zheng Guanyin to Jiang Chengxiao as his wife, then the brand of Shandong gentry on him would have become even heavier.

The place where the two met was in a simple pavilion outside Licheng, because Jiang Chengxiao rushed over from the military camp, so the two didn't find a place to listen to the music to talk about their so-called friendship between gentlemen.

After meeting Jiang Chengxiao, Cui Yunxiang was actually a little surprised for a moment.Because in his opinion, men who enter the army will always have a trace of "rough", "rough" and "severe".

But this Prince Zhao didn't have it. On the contrary, he felt a strange feeling in this person.This person seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist all the time, no matter how sincere his smile was, how warm his words were, it even made people feel like a spring breeze.But that vague feeling has never disappeared, as if it has always existed.

His grandfather once told him that looking into a person's eyes can find the way to see into a person's heart.But this method doesn't seem to work on this Prince Zhao's son. This person has shown no flaws.

Yes, after a short chat.Cui Yunxiang couldn't find any flaws in Jiang Chengxiao's body, as if what he said was true, which really made him very strange.

Compared to Cui Yunxiang's strangeness, Jiang Chengxiao was very calm. "Nursing Qi" and "Performance" have always been the two skills he has been practicing constantly. It is actually very simple to say that he wants to tell a lie as if it is true.

Hint yourself.

He used to go to Dalin Temple to repent in hypocrisy about the two-legged sheep incident in Chang'an Guandao.Before confessing, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but after confessing, he no longer had that feeling, but instead felt a sense of relief.

Is it hypocritical?
hypocritical!

Disgusting?
nausea!

In his heart, he never denied that he was hypocritical, maybe he himself didn't know how many layers of masks he was wearing now.

See people talking, see ghosts talking.

Perhaps it is to describe him now.

"I didn't expect Brother Yunxiang to be my cousin's fiancé-in-law, so it's okay for me to ask you to be my cousin." Jiang Chengxiao had a faint smile on his face, gently kneading the sachet at his waist .

When he received the letter from Cui Yunxiang's visit, he was actually quite dazed for a moment.Because the first sentence of the letter is: Brother Yunxiang would like to pay homage to his cousin.

He really thought about it for a long time, and then he was sure that he did not have a cousin like Cui Yunxiang.During the conversation just now, Cui Yunxiang told him that the Qinghe Cui family formally issued a marriage letter to the Zheng family not long ago. Sister Zheng Guanyin.

Knowing this, Jiang Chengxiao accepted the cousin without any psychological barriers.

Cui Yunxiang chuckled, and walked two steps calmly, "Cousin is joking, it should have been done, so why ask the freshman to say it. Cousin's feat of fighting against the Turks at Loufan Pass is already a role model for our generation. Not to mention the world-famous "Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night", I often commented on it when I was studying abroad."

"Study tour?" Jiang Chengxiao deliberately clicked these two words, "Brother Cui hasn't become an official yet?"

Cui Yunxiang was able to marry the daughter of the Zheng family, so his identity is naturally the son of the Cui family of Qinghe.As the son of a powerful family in Shandong, he is destined to start much higher than others. As long as he goes through the Zhongzheng selection process, he will be released as a magistrate of a county. , This is the usual method of the aristocratic family.

If it weren't for the Turkic relationship, Jiang Chengxiao should have been arranged by King Zhao to go to a small place to get his qualifications.

Is it fair?
It's not fair, but it's fair in a way.

It is unfair because the nobles will always be nobles and the common people will always be common people.It is fair because a son like Cui Yunxiang is a son who has been carefully taught by the Cui family, so his intelligence is naturally higher than that of ordinary humble scholars.

Of course, the existence of those explosive species is excluded.

Hearing Jiang Chengxiao call him Brother Cui, Cui Yunxiang was very satisfied, if this prince Zhao really asked him to call him "good brother", he would really eat flies.

"I don't want to hide it from my son, I am foolish and like to have fun, and I like the spirit of mountains and rivers. Although the elders of the family reprimanded me many times, they still did not change my heart. This time I passed by Qi County and heard that my son is here. Come to pay a visit."

"So that's the case." Jiang Chengxiao nodded as if understanding, and sighed: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Cui, I have other important things to do in Qi County this time, I'm afraid I can't accompany Brother Cui to enjoy the moon, drink wine and compose poems. "

Cui Yunxiang's face was as usual, but he said regretfully, "My son entered the official position early, and he is too busy with affairs to understand."

Jiang Chengxiao was slightly disappointed, he thought that Cui Yunxiang came here to negotiate terms with him, but this guy has not revealed any intention of negotiating so far.It looks like he doesn't know.

"Then let's do this first. Forgive me for not being able to accompany me because I am busy with business. In the future, when Brother Cui gets married, I will definitely go to congratulate him if I have time." Jiang Chengxiao smiled and cupped his hands, turning around to leave.

This made Cui Yunxiang feel as if he had stepped on the ground. This matter is not going right.According to his guess, Jiang Chengxiao would definitely guess whether the corruption of officials in Qi County had something to do with the Cui family, and his appearance at this time would definitely attract Jiang Chengxiao's attention.

In his idea, it should be Jiang Chengxiao who tried to test himself again and again, but his ambiguous attitude caused doubts in his heart, and then tied his mind here to buy time for Uncle Qi.

But now, it seems that this prince doesn't have the intention to test him at all.

"Wait a minute, son." Cui Yunxiang quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.

Jiang Chengxiao turned around calmly, and asked, "Brother Cui, what else is there?"

Jiang Chengxiao didn't know what Cui Yunxiang's plan was, but he knew one thing very well, the initiative was in his hands now.The Cui family either exerted their strength in the court and asked the emperor to change someone to investigate Qi County, or sent someone to contact him for negotiation.

Either way, he can afford it.

Since this is the case, why did he open his mouth to test Cui Yunxiang first.

"Actually, I passed through Qi County this time, and I heard that the prince has investigated a lot of corrupt officials here. Yu also wants to learn from the prince and gain some experience for the administration in the future, so as not to be in a hurry and be at a loss when he doesn't know the prince. May it be allowed?"

Since Jiang Chengxiao didn't take the initiative to talk about these things, this topic can only be brought up by him.In the end, he knew too little about Jiang Chengxiao, and he came here in a hurry this time. The opponent's attack was too fast, and many things could not be undone.

He knew that his obscure statement would definitely make Jiang Chengxiao suspicious.

Jiang Chengxiao was indeed suspicious, but not because of this sentence, but because of Cui Yunxiang's attitude.He didn't believe Cui Yunxiang's words from the very beginning. Although he didn't dare to 100% say that Cui Yunxiang was sent by the Cui family, he was basically sure that Cui Yunxiang came here with a purpose, and it is unclear what purpose it is.

"Ying Zhun is fine." Jiang Chengxiao agreed first, then changed his voice, "But Brother Cui, I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
