At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 232 Toast
Cui Hu entered the room, stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Did Changqing sleep well last night?"

Gao Bufan replied: "It's okay, it's just that someone lived in this room?"

Cui Hu nodded and replied: "It used to be the children's study room. It is used for reading and writing. Occasionally, I would stay here overnight. However, the children have been studying in Luoyang, the eastern capital, so the room has been empty all the time. Why did Changqing ask this? "

Gao Bufan couldn't help but wryly smiled, since this room was lived by Cui Hu's son, needless to say, the little girl who ran out just now must be Cui Hu's daughter Cui Shirou.

Cui Hu asked in "perplexity": "What's the matter? Could it be that Changqing dislikes the child who lived here?"

Gao Bufan hurriedly said: "That's okay, brother Cui misunderstood, but I may have accidentally offended Miss Qianjin Shirou just now."

Cui Hu immediately slapped his forehead and said: "Brother Yu for a while forgot that Rou'er would come to this yard every day to take care of the flowers and plants for his brother, but fortunately Changqing is not an outsider, just explain it to her later, Brother Yu Don’t take it to heart.”

"Uh...then there is Brother Lao Cui." Gao Bufan felt strange.

Cui Hu waved his hand and said: "My own people, you don't need to see outsiders. By the way, I heard Zhang Qing mention Yuyi Town last night. Early this morning, Brother Yu asked the old patriarch for advice. It happened that the old patriarch had a painting from the Northern Wei Dynasty in his house. There is Yuyi Town on it, so brother Yu borrowed it for Zhangqing to have a look, maybe it can help." After speaking, he took out a piece of kraft paper map from his pocket.

Gao Bufan was overjoyed, he took it with a thank you, and unfolded the kraft paper, he saw that there was indeed a map drawn on it, although not very detailed, but the topography and terrain were clearly marked, the nine military towns in the north during the Northern Wei Dynasty were all It is marked that one of them is Yuyi Town, which is indeed located outside the Great Wall. There are three relatively large rivers passing through it. It should be a good place with abundant water and grass.

"Great, with this map, I can save a lot of trouble. Brother Cui, can I copy one?" Gao Bufan asked happily.

Cui Hu smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. It happens that Rou'er is good at calligraphy and painting, and girls are more meticulous in their work. Brother Yu will ask Rou'er to help copy a picture, so as to ensure that there are no mistakes or omissions." Bufan agreed, then folded the map with a smile and put it back in his arms.

Seeing this, Gao Bufan had no choice but to say: "Then there will be Miss Lao Shirou, how long will it take to finish the painting?"

Cui Hu replied firmly: "It won't take long, and it should be finished in the afternoon. It won't delay Changqing's rush home, and I'll leave just after lunch."

"That's annoying." Gao Bufan had no choice but to say helplessly.

"Later, the servants will bring breakfast over. Changqing will have breakfast first, and then I will take Changqing to visit Dongwu County for my brother, and then come back for lunch at noon. It is estimated that Rou'er has almost drawn the map by then. " Cui Hu enthusiastically arranged today's itinerary, and then left calmly, presumably to arrange tasks for his daughter Cui Shirou.

After a while, the servants brought the breakfast, which was very delicate, a bowl of millet pumpkin porridge, a meat bun, a deep-fried dough stick, and two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

After Gao Bufan finished his breakfast and moved around in the yard for a while, Cui Hu stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Changqing already had breakfast, but is it still to your liking?"

"The taste is pretty good, but I can't get enough to eat." Gao Bufan said frankly.

Cui Hu chuckled: "Brother Yu forgot about Changqing's appetite, but it's okay, let's fill up his stomach first, and then have a big meal at noon, and the little girl will cook the spoon herself, Changqing, you are lucky, the little girl's craftsmanship is superb. "

Gao Bufan couldn't help muttering to himself, brother, what are you trying to do?Do you also want to be promoted to be my father-in-law?
It's just that when he thought of Cui Shirou, a little loli who was only twelve or thirteen years old, Gao Bufan immediately felt a sense of guilt for harming the flowers of his motherland, and immediately dispelled this idea. Xianniang is 15 years old anyway, and this age is not enough even in later generations. Otherwise, no matter how active this girl is, Gao Bufan will not be able to do it. Some people may say that it is hypocritical, but as a time traveler with modern values, the moral bottom line has been set, unless this person has no principles .

Besides, Gao Bufan and Cui Hu went shopping for a long time, and visited several workshops under Cui's name, as well as shops and restaurants. And Cui Hu's management method has a general understanding.

It was almost noon when Gao Bufan and Cui Hu returned home. The lunch was ready, and it was quite sumptuous, with a combination of meat and vegetables.

Cui Hu said proudly: "Chang Qing, please try my daughter's cooking skills."

These dishes are delicious, just looking at the appearance can whet the appetite, presumably the taste is not bad, Gao Bufan tasted it, it was really delicious, so he was full of praise.Cui Hu was even more complacent, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you want to keep a man's heart, you must first keep his stomach. For women, the most important thing is to take care of your husband and children, manage your family well, and get out of the hall. , but also to enter the kitchen, Changqing thinks?"

Gao Bufan had no choice but to say vaguely: "Yes, it makes sense." Then he chopped up a large piece of food, saying that the taste of this food is really unique.

Cui Hu gestured to Shu'er, the maidservant who was serving at the side, and the latter left silently. After leaning slightly, she helped a girl in pink robes to turn out from behind the screen, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and picturesque eyebrows. , looks delicate and cute, she is exactly the girl Gao Bufan met in the morning, but the current attire is more formal and grand, and there is a golden step in the bun, which flickers when she moves, which adds a little bit of excitement. Elegant and extravagant, the face is thinly powdered, making it even more charming.

Gao Bufan's heart skipped a beat. He was really afraid of something. Yesterday he ran away with Cui Shiyao, but today he immediately changed to Cui Shirou to seamlessly connect. Brother Cui, I really have you!

Cui Hu smiled and said: "Changqing, this is the little girl Shirou, you have already met this morning."

Gao Bufan hurriedly stood up and formally greeted him, "Gao Changqing from Yin County, I have met Miss Shirou."

Cui Shirou blushed before saying anything, lowered her eyebrows and bowed her eyes, and said in a low voice, "I have seen Mr. Gao." The voice was soft, but it was true to his name.

Cui Hu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Changqing and Weifu have a fateful friendship, so Rou'er will treat Changqing to a glass for my father."

"Oh!" Cui Shirou obediently poured a glass of wine, put both hands in front of Gao Bufan, and said weakly: "Gao... Mr. Gao, Rou'er toasts you." After speaking, it was Xia Fei's cheeks.

Gao Bufan didn't dare to take it easily, God knows what rules are in it, if he drank this glass of wine, Cui Hu immediately said "good son-in-law" or something, wouldn't it be bad?

Gao Bufan was hesitating, but the little loli's face was getting redder and redder, there was water in her eyes, her pretty face was slightly slumped, her small mouth was slightly flattened, as if she was about to cry, Gao Bufan was startled , hurriedly took the wine glass and said: "Thank you, Miss Shirou." Then he drank it down.

After Gao Bufan finished drinking, he saw that Cui Shirou was still looking at him eagerly, and he couldn't help being slightly stunned. When he saw that the other party's small hands were still in a forward position, he felt relieved, and quickly handed over the empty wine glass to him. Returning to the other party's hand, he said thank you again.

Cui Shirou had a blessing, and then took two steps back, and put the wine glass back on the tray held by the maid Shu'er.

Cui Hu coughed lightly and said, "Rou'er, step back now."

Only then did Cui Shirou retreat behind the screen as if relieved, and Gao Bufan also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it seems that there is no special particularity in toasting. This little loli has picturesque features, cute and cute, and it is really hard for him to refuse , especially the look of being so aggrieved that weeping, I am afraid that no one can bear to refuse this drink.
