Chapter 540 Choice
Cui Ze, who was far away in Luoyang, heard about what happened in the capital immediately.

Like Cui Youbo, Cui Ze also felt that going to Shanzhou was an excellent opportunity. After he heard the news, he was worried that his youngest son would live a comfortable life with rich clothes and fine food, and he was unwilling to go to the bitter cold place in the northwest, which would waste the opportunity. When writing a letter to my son, Cui Youbo's letter arrived first.

In the letter, Cui Youbo described the matter in detail, and expressed to his father that he was willing to go to Shanzhou, but he was only worried about his wife and children at home, so he hoped that his father and elder brother would take good care of him.

In addition, when he went to Shanzhou, he wanted to bring some useful staff and helpers there, but he was young and had limited acquaintances, so he wanted to ask his father to help find and recommend some.

Cui Youbo also specifically pointed out that the Cui clan can give priority to the candidates for the required staff.

After reading his son's letter, Cui Ze heaved a sigh of relief, and said from his heart: This youngest son who is the most incompetent has finally come out of experience, open-minded, quick-witted, and has a family concept, very good!
Until now, Cui Ze is convinced of the choice of his aunt and father. It seems that among the third generation nephews of the bipolar Cui family, Cui Youbo will become the leading figure, and the future of the Cui family will also be written by him!

Xu Shi saw the bright future of the family's continued prosperity, and Cui Ze was in a good mood.He also tried his best to help his son with his entrustment.

First of all, Cui Ze found a highly respected old lady Cui Li from among the Cui clan, and asked her to 'accompany' and 'point out' the eldest lady Lu.

Cui Lishi is sixty-five years old this year. Although she is about the same age as Lu Shi, she has a very high seniority and is of the same generation as Cui Shouzhen.And her in-laws were one of the very few clan members who had kindness to the three Cui brothers and sisters back then. Those two old people who had passed away for many years had secretly helped the Cui Shouzhen brothers and sisters, and they were regarded as benefactors of the two-phase Cui family.

Therefore, even if Cui Li's age is similar and he has no imperial title, Lu's dare not neglect, and 'provide' Cui Li's aunt like respecting his own elders.

Then, Cui Ze discussed with the head of the clan, Cui Run, and selected six young and capable young men from the clan members of the uncle Cui's generation, and received them from the Cui family. After the appointment, they were sent to the capital to accompany Cui Youbo to Shanzhou.

Among them, what needs to be specially explained is that among the six young gentlemen of the Cui family, there is a young man named Cui Mingbo, who is the eldest grandson of the Cui family.

Cui Ze is worthy of being an old fox with ups and downs in his official career. His purpose of making such an arrangement is very clear: I believe that for the sake of the eldest grandson's future, Mrs. Cui and Li will do their best to 'promote' Mrs. Lu.Even if Xiao Nan is born, the family returns to the capital, with Mrs. Cui and Li around, Mrs. Lu doesn't have time to bother Xiao Nan's mother and son.

No one is holding back, Cui Ze believes that with Xiao Nan's method, he will definitely be able to help Cui Youbo look after his home and take good care of his children.

After receiving Cui Ze's reply, Uncle Cui was silent for a long time in the study, secretly sighing in his heart: it's still my father who is so powerful, and he 'contained' her mother without hurting her mother's face.

OK, things at home have been properly arranged, and Uncle Cui can rest assured to prepare for travel.

That's right, Cui Youbo didn't intend to take his family with him when he went to Shanzhou this time.Although it is very important to be an official in another place, his wife's diplomacy is very important, but the situation in Shanzhou is special, and Cui Youbo didn't think about letting his wife and children go.

Firstly, it was bitter cold in the northwest, Cui Youbo was reluctant to let them go with them to endure hardship;
Second, the affairs in Beijing are complicated, especially Jiwei College, and the principal Xiao Nan must not be missing;
Sanlai Lingxi and Changsheng have already gone to school, and the quadruplets are still young, so it is safer to stay in the capital;

Last but not least, Cui Youbo had a premonition that there might be a war in the west, and in such a dangerous place, it was enough for him to venture alone, there was no need to take his wife and children with him.

Cui Youbo didn't bring his wife and daughter with him, it didn't mean that he went alone, besides the staff recommended by Cui Ze, there were also accompanying guards, servants and rough maidservants.

The guard said, the Cui family has a trilogy, and it is no problem to choose one or two hundred strong and sturdy men from it.

Small servants, rough maids and so on are also easy to choose, there are no ones around Cui's house, and there are a lot of servants born in the family.

In the eyes of the nobles, going to the Northwest is not a good job, but for some domestic slaves who hope to be superior, it is an excellent opportunity to go to Shanzhou with Lang Jun.

What, you said there might be war over there?
Ha, it's better if there is a war, the more critical it is, the more it can embody the role of a "loyal servant".

Wealth and wealth are in danger, Cui Zhongwei Mao Neng is the chief steward of Cui's family, because his grandfather once went to the battlefield with Mrs. Cui, delivered military rations to the women's army of Princess Pingyang, and made military exploits, so the whole family In order to be rich with the master.

There are hundreds of domestic slaves living in the back streets of Cui's family. If they don't fight hard, let alone be unknown in this life, even their children and grandchildren will have nothing to do.

Therefore, as soon as they heard that Langjun might go to Shanzhou to be the governor of Shanzhou, many people who needed to serve people became lively, looking for ways and connections, and wanted to go with Langjun.

Bi Lishu, who also lived in the back street, also heard the news. At this moment, he was very hesitant: should he go to Shanzhou with Cui Youbo, or stay in the capital and continue to inquire about Khan's news? !
Bi Lishu was hesitating, and Cui Youbo and his wife over there were also discussing about his future.

"Mr. Lang, this man is too dangerous. He even visited the military supervisor several times at night. It is definitely a disaster to keep him in the capital!"

As soon as Xiao Nan mentioned Bi Lishu, he couldn't help feeling chills in his chest, and as soon as he closed his eyes, that cold sword would appear in his mind.

This kind of scourge is simply a moving time bomb, Xiao Nan really wants to kill him directly, one is for revenge, and the other is to eliminate the danger in advance.

But Cui Youbo disagreed, he said, this person has a suspicious origin and strange deeds, and there must be someone behind him. If he can follow the clues, catch the instigator, and find out their conspiracy, maybe the big problem can be solved.

Hearing this, Xiao Nan was quite moved, because she also wanted to know whether Li Jing and Bai Shi ordered Bi Lishu to assassinate her in her previous life, or there was another conspiracy.

Therefore, Bi Lishu is still living in the back street of Cui's house, busy with spying on news and exploring the secrets of Datang all day long.

"Well, I'm a little hesitant too,"

Cui Youbo picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a bit of distress in his tone, "For safety's sake, it would be better to take him to Shanzhou. But, we don't know his origin, we only know He is a spy of the Western Turks. But the Western Turks are now divided into ten tribes, and we have not yet determined which tribe he came from."

Speaking of this, Cui Youbo remembered something, he put down the teacup, and asked: "By the way, last time someone saw a kite flying by in the back street of Cui's house. It wasn't a lady's Xueniangzi. I think it might be Bi Lishu." It was specially obtained to convey news..."

Xiao Nan's expression instantly became weird.

Well, since the opening of Xinshi, she ordered Hou Erlang to set up a huge store in Xinshi, specializing in the sale of trained kites, lynx and other animals.

Hou Erlang is indeed a talent. He and Mrs. Fang San, the husband and wife, trained the kite and the forest dog, and trained these small animals to be very smart. In addition, Xiao Nan used Yulu as food from time to time, and Xiao's dog workshop in Xinshi , Lynx Square and other shops are very famous in Beijing.

The dignitaries in Beijing, whether they like hunting or not, will go to the kite workshop and lynx workshop under the Xiao family to choose one, and use it as a helper when hunting, and use it as a front for those who don't hunt. It is a matter of face. .

In addition, as the old sage's hobby of using kites to convey messages to his son spread, the rich and powerful followed suit and also liked to use kites as messengers to communicate with relatives and friends far away.

Among the many kite workshops, Xiao's tamed kites are the smartest. Even thousands of miles apart, they can avoid hunters' bows and arrows and other birds of prey with vigilance, and deliver letters smoothly.Moreover, the flying speed of the kite is fast, and it is faster and safer to use it to send messages than the eight hundred miles of the imperial court!
Later, the reputation of Xiao's kite spread to Luoyang. During Xiao Nan's filial piety in Luoyang, he ordered people to open kite workshops and lynx workshops in Luoyang's Dongshi and Xishi.

The business of kites, lynxes and other animals is getting better and better, while Xiao Nan has made a lot of money, and she has always been very proud of it.

However, Xiao Nan never expected that one day, the kite she used to do business and earn huge profits would be used by the enemy to transmit information. What kind of argument is this? !

Cui Youbo didn't notice his wife's strangeness, he was still immersed in his own thoughts, and continued: "Lady, since Bi Lishu can keep in touch with the master behind him, it would be better to keep him in the capital."

Among the 36 strategies, there is a strategy called "Fan Jian Ji". Jiang Gan, who thinks he is smart, is not only a specialty of the Three Kingdoms.

Well, maybe, he can ask Bi Lishu to cosplay Jiang Gan once, so that he can pass more 'information' to the master behind him.

The more Cui Youbo thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. He leaned forward and whispered in Xiao Nan's ear for a while, and finally, he backed away and said in a low voice, "Lady, what do you think?"

After Xiao Nan digested Cui Youbo's words, he felt mixed emotions: Oh, this guy is really getting more and more cunning and black-bellied.

However, Xiao Nan had to admit, "This plan works!"

Bi Lishu's arrangement was settled after discussion, and the husband and wife continued to discuss other matters.

Neither of them expected, and then they had to face a more difficult choice——

In the afternoon of this day, Xiao Nan and the quadruplets took a nap together, and when they got up to read for a while, Yuzan walked in quickly, she was still holding Lady Xue in her arms.

"Lady, Lady Xue is back!"

Yuzan handed Lady Xue to Xiao Nan's hand, and said in a low voice: "Besides, Honghua found out that when Lady Xue flew into the Weiwei Courtyard, someone in the back street shot cold arrows in an attempt to kill Lady Xue!"

what?
Bi Lishu, a damned spy, dared to attack her Xue Niangzi?
Xiao Nan was so angry that he forgot his business for a while, cursed a few times secretly, and then remembered to check the 'poster' on Xue Niangzi's feet...

PS: Um, make up for yesterday!
 PPS: Attached is a letter from His Majesty Li Er and Li Zhi’s little friend, it’s so nasty that it kills you: “I got the big inner book twice, but I didn’t see the slave watch, yeah, I want to die forever. , Anxiety was relieved for a moment, and I wanted to die and be reborn... (Twice I received the documents from the palace, but I didn’t see your letter from your childish slave. Dad, I was so worried that I just got a letter from you, saying that my wife I was sick, and my worries and fears disappeared instantly, as if I had died and resurrected...)"
