Chapter 165

The man stood up and walked towards He Lingjiang.

Aware of his actions, He Zheng immediately became vigilant.

Although they were staying in the same ruined temple, they had agreed in advance that they would not disturb each other. This Langjun had no intention of getting close to them before, but now he suddenly stepped forward, what did he mean?
He Lingjiang noticed the change of momentum on He Zheng's body, so he couldn't help but look to the side, and saw a young gentleman with elegant temperament coming towards them.

The man saw her gaze, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "It's a coincidence, I don't want to meet a lady here."

He Lingjiang was stunned when he heard this, does she know this person?
She frowned slightly and looked at him carefully. The facial features of the man in front of her were as tender as jade, and his words and deeds were even more eloquent.

It seems like...

In the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the person who won the top lantern in ten questions in a row?

What He Yunjia admires very much... Eleven of the Cui family?
He Lingjiang never expected that in this remote southwest place, she would meet someone whom she had seen every day. She smiled and said, "It's you..."

"It's me." Cui Shuqian smiled and nodded slightly.

He Lingjiang didn't recognize him for a while, and he didn't care, just asked with a smile, "I'm really sorry I broke the lady's mask last time."

"Ah..." He Lingjiang waved his hand, "It's okay... It's not a big deal."

"Yes." Cui Shu lowered his head and smiled, and then raised his eyes to look at her, "It's a coincidence that when Linchuan first saw her, she met the lady here again."

"Well, it's quite a coincidence." He Lingjiang nodded. Fortunately, she only met this person once. He didn't know his identity and family, so he didn't have to worry about leaking his traces for a while.

It was the second time to see her, but Cui Shu didn't know who her surname was. He slightly cupped his hands and said, "It's fate to meet each other. Now Cui Shu is in the house for eleven, so I don't know how the lady and this gentleman should be called. ?"

He Lingjiang glanced at Poet He without a trace, and Poet He, who was about to speak, immediately closed his mouth knowingly.

She replied, "My surname is Liu, and this is my elder brother."

Poet He just went from being an elder to being equal to her.

But this is the identity of the two of them, and He Lingjiang doesn't want others to know their identity, so it makes sense.

Cui Shu didn't know the mystery. He only said that the two of them were really brothers and sisters. He asked curiously: "How did the lady get from Linchuan to this Shaoyang territory? These two places are not very close..."

He Lingjiang sighed with a low sigh, and his expression seemed to be a little worried: "I have relatives at home who are in Yongzhou. This is not... Recently, there is something at home and I need the help of relatives and friends, so my brother and I have to go there in person. trip……"

When Cui Shu heard the words, he wisely stopped the question. After all, this is a private matter in other people's family, so don't ask more questions.

He Lingjiang raised his eyes and asked him curiously, "The last time I saw Cui Langjun was in Linchuan. I don't know how you got here?"

Cui Shuqingya smiled and sat down cross-legged in front of their fire: "I went to Annan with this uncle to gain knowledge."

uncle?

He Lingjiang frowned, wondering who his uncle was from the Cui family?
Seeing the suspicious look on her face, Cui Shu explained, "My uncle is the second in the house and works in the Annan Protectorate."

It is said that read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.He will participate in the autumn festival this fall, but he also wants to go to various places to see and experience before that.

Judging from Cui Clan's reputation and his own ability, after this imperial examination, the sage will definitely grant him an official, and then it will be difficult to find a free time to travel around and learn.

Just in time for the Chinese New Year, my uncle's family would return to Jiangzhou to present the New Year's gifts, and they would not go back until the fifteenth.

So, he reported to his father, and after Shangyuan followed the general to Annan, he gained a lot of knowledge.

As soon as he said this, He Lingjiang immediately understood.

The head of the Cui family, Cui Min, is the chief protector of the Annan Duhufu. He rules the entire Annan region and is adjacent to Nanzhao.

The Annan Protectorate was only four or five days away from the Yinsheng they were going on this trip.

If it is said that the foundation of the Cui family is in Jiangzhou and Yingdu Chaotang, and it is dominated by Cui Huai, the head of the Cui family, then its influence outside is expanded by Cui Min.

This Annan Protector, although he was a second-rank official, was not inferior to Cui Huai's official second-rank official.

Although this Annan is far away from the temple, although the conditions are a bit worse because of the miasma, the barbarians are difficult to educate, but it is also less restricted by the court, and the Cui family can develop their power better here.

Cui Min had been in the position of the Protector of Annan for eight years, and the entire Annan area was almost in the possession of the Cui family.

"Cui Duhu worked tirelessly, guarding Annan for many years, and protecting the peace of countless people in Annan. It is really admirable."

Poet He also bowed his hands to Cui Shu, and greeted him politely: "It turns out that Lord Lang is actually the nephew of Cui Du Hu, and I am disrespectful."

Cui Shu hurriedly returned a salute, and his words were clear and clear: "Liu Langjun really broke me. The merits of the fathers were earned by themselves, and the juniors are just lucky to have a little shade."

"You and I meet each other in the same generation, so you don't need to be polite. I think Liu Langjun is two years older than me, and I have to call out Brother Liu."

Poet He laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Then I'll be welcome."

He Lingjiang thought about going to Yinsheng, not far from Annan, so he wanted to ask him some news.

"Cui Langjun just came back from Annan, do you have any interesting insights?"

She frowned slightly and looked at Cui Shu with a smile: "Yongzhou is a little far away from there. My brother and I have never been to Annan. I just heard people say it, and I am still a little curious."

Hearing this, Cui Shu's eyes were full of smiles. He had a rare chance to meet an old friend, but he became somewhat interested in storytelling: "There are quite a lot of interesting things in Annan area."

"After all, that place is a place where many ethnic groups live together. Their customs are different, and they are also very different from our Han people..."

As he spoke, he picked up his interesting experiences in Annan and told them one by one.

It was already dark outside the temple, and a few people gathered around the fire, listening to the story, but talking and laughing, making people forget the exhaustion of the journey and the miserable wind and rain outside.

He Lingjiang turned his head slightly and listened intently to his speech.

Cui Shu told a lot of Annan's anecdotes, but if it involves the situation in the frontier or the relationship between various ethnic groups, he hastily brought it along.

He seems to be reluctant to talk about these, and it seems that he is deliberately avoiding it.

He Lingjiang's heart was full of thoughts, but his face was calm, and he still listened to his introduction with a smile.
