Chapter 75 The Best Aunt
Liu Han, whose style name is Junzhi, is a descendant of the Liu family in Pengcheng. Shaomin is studious, especially good at poetry and prose.

This is Liu Han's first impression of Cui Youbo, and it is also Liu Han's first impression of Cui Youbo.

Xiao Nanhu was sitting on the square couch, with a cup of tea on the table in front of him, which was slowly steaming.After listening to Cui Youbo's excited narration, she asked with great interest: "So, Liu Langjun, like Lang Jun, likes ancient styles?"

Listen to other people's hobbies, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, drug use (five stone powder) and booze drinking, making incense and cooking tea, collecting ancient jade... After Xiao Nan counted Liu Han's favorite specialties, he finally gave him The Liu family found a reason for Mao Hui to be so poor.

Damn, he can make such a fuss, and his father and grandfather didn't pass down a powerful title, and the family didn't have any sufficient financial resources, but this person is still living on the ostentation of the aristocratic family. No wonder in the end, he didn't even have the money to rush for the exam.

"No, brother Jun Zhi's attainments in ancient prose are far superior to mine. Alas, he is indeed a descendant of the Liu family's royal family in Pengcheng. The family background is indeed far superior to other clans."

Cui Youbo was famous when he was young (there are so many dudes in the capital), among the noble children of the same age, he rarely met anyone who could convince him. (Poor kid squatting at the bottom of the well, embarrassing!)

Now I met Liu Han and Liu Junzhi, who has a handsome face, elegant demeanor, and rich knowledge... Every word, deed, and every gesture made Cui Youbo feel admiration. Actively and enthusiastically retain Liu Langjun to live in Cui's house.

"He's even stronger than Mr. Lang?" Xiao Nan deliberately looked surprised, and then questioned in a defensive tone: "I don't believe that Mr. Cui is a famous Cui family in the capital. More agile than Lang Jun's literary thinking? He should be older than Lang Jun, right?!"

It is undeniable that Xiao Nan's performance pleased Cui Youbo again, he smiled embarrassedly, took a sip of tea soup, and said, "Hehe, Qiao Mu, you praise me too much, the world is so big, there are countless talents , I just read a few more books, so I can't be praised by a lady." He said so, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

After finishing speaking, he tilted his head and thought for a while, and Cui Youbo said: "Well, Liu Langjun is three years older than me, so he can be regarded as the same age."

However, Xiao Nan argued unreasonably: "Why, he is three years older than you, and he can read a lot of books in three years. Lang Jun has only been in the ancestral hall for two months, and he has read so many books. I have also written a lot of articles, and if I have another three years, I will definitely be as outstanding as Liu Langjun."

Uncle Cui nodded inwardly, but still showed a humble look on his face. He shook his head again and again, "You can't say that. Hehe, yes, I heard that Liu Langjun and uncle are also close friends. This time he To be able to reach the capital smoothly, I still have my elder brother to take care of me."

Xiao Nan has already received a letter from his eldest brother, and Xiao Bo also explained in detail about Liu Han in the letter, so Xiao Nan is very clear about how Liu Han came to the capital.

It is said to be 'care', but it is actually 'subsidy' at all.

Liu Han met Xiao Bo when he was studying abroad, and the two chatted very happily, Liu Han also has a bit of real talent and learning, so Mr. Xiao Dalang also appreciates it.

As the two got closer, Xiao Bo treated him as a friend and sincerely helped him plan.

Later, seeing that his life was poor and his family had little income, he suggested that Liu Han come to the capital to take part in the imperial examinations, or make friends with great scholars to get recommendations. Can rely on 'selling marriages' for a living.

Liu Han also had long thought of becoming an official, but suffered from the lack of a good way.

Imperial examination?The imperial examination road is too narrow.

Although the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were not as rigid and perverted as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the competition was quite fierce.

Moreover, the scientific examination is too passive, and there is an element of luck in it. If a truly talented person does not meet an examiner who appreciates him, he can only fail the exam and go home.

As for Liu Han, he has the unique arrogance of aristocratic families in his bones, and he doesn't want to lower his status to compete with a group of humble scholars.

Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility that he might be ridiculed if he misses a hit and loses his name. (Nan said that his psychology is really dark, -_-!)

However, Xiao Bo's initiative to invite Liu Han gave Liu Han hope—although the Xiao family is not as prominent as it was in the previous dynasty, it is still a top clan. Anyway, I can be a leisurely civil servant.

Thinking of this level, Liu Han said that he accepted his friend's suggestion, packed his luggage immediately, took Xiao Bo's letter and gift money, and rushed all the way to the capital.

As for Xiao Bo, because he still wanted to continue his study tour, he did not go with Liu Han.After returning to the capital, Mr. Xiao Dalang was too busy with the things at hand, and temporarily forgot about his friend, so he didn't send anyone to the capital to inquire about Liu Han's whereabouts.

Afterwards, Xiao Nan sent Mother Su back to Chongrenfang, asking Aye and Eldest Brother to help her find one or two talents with excellent academic and moral qualities for her husband, preferably from a down-and-out family, and Xiao Bo thought of Liu Han.

Xiao Bo hurriedly asked people to go to the capital to inquire, and with great difficulty, he found Liu Han who was about to spend all his money in the inn in Pingkangfang (cough cough, why Mao is here, you understand!).

The next thing went even smoother: the Cui family needed a "student companion" who was both a teacher and a friend, and Liu Han needed a decent job with a good salary.

Not to mention that the Cui family was still the residence of the two prime ministers, and there was also a top scholar in the family. With such a good environment, Liu Han would keep it without giving money.

In this way, Liu Han accepted Xiao Bo's recommendation, took the letter written by Prince Xiao to Mr. Cui, and walked to Cui's house in an elegant manner.

As for Cui Shouren, he really admired Liu Han's youth and talent, so he was hired as a teacher with a high salary, and stayed in Cui's family to teach the fourth and fifth generations.

Of course, this is only a nominal statement. In fact, Liu Han came to Cui's house more to be a 'model' for Cui Youbo - Liu Han's residence is next door to Cui Youbo's study.

Xiao Nan knew that for now, Liu Han was the person Cui Youbo was most interested in, at this moment, he wouldn't pay too much attention to anyone he talked to.

So, after Xiao Nan said some unsalty words around Liu Han's topic, he casually mentioned, "Lang Jun, A Jin is back, and I have arranged her in the wing room of Xikuayuan."

"Huh? Oh, I'll be back when I come back, my lady can just make arrangements." Cui Youbo is now full of Liu Han's poems and Liu Han's qin, so he wouldn't pay attention to a girl who fell out of favor.

However, Young Uncle Cui was not too ruthless. He still remembered that A Jin had his cub in her stomach, so he said again, "She is pregnant with a child, my lady, please worry about it."

Xiao Nan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang. Although I don't like A Jin's restlessness, I won't treat her harshly, and I won't treat Mr. Lang's flesh and blood slowly."

Yu Zhu, who was waiting on the side, interjected pretendingly angrily, "Humph, in order to avoid that A Jin would make trouble again, I went to ask the eldest lady, and invited a lady who had served Sanlang before. The old mother is dedicated to taking care of the child in Ajin's womb."

The jade hairpin on the other side hurriedly scolded: "What are you talking about in front of Mrs. Lang Jun?"

Yu Zhu was not convinced, "Where did I say that, A Jin is just a girl, according to the rules, how can she have the right to bother her mother? Hmph, isn't our lady kind-hearted?!"

Hearing Yuzhu's words, Cui Youbo rubbed his nose unnaturally, smiled coyly, and said, "Well, what Yuzhu said is not completely unreasonable. Ma'am, you, you don't need to make an exception for A Jin." Brother Liu said However, the only ones who pay homage to the incense are the legitimate sons, the concubines and so on, so it’s okay to treat them badly, how can they be too presumptuous?

Xiao Nan nodded obediently, and said with a smile: "Yes, I will listen to you."

Cui Youbo is very satisfied, Liu Shixiong also said that women nowadays are very tough, when Liu Shixiong was studying abroad, he once saw a shrew holding a kitchen knife and chasing her husband all over the street. She refused to give up, just because her husband wanted to take a concubine.

Compared with such a woman, his Qiao Mu is really much more virtuous!

The husband and wife were talking, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door.

Xiao Nan frowned slightly, winked at Yuzhu, and motioned her to go out and have a look.

Seeing this, Yuzhu hurriedly got up and walked outside.

There was another commotion, and after a while, the sound gradually dissipated, and Polygonatum came back from outside again.

"What's going on? Who is making the noise?" She has already sorted out the Chenguang Courtyard thoroughly. Xiao Nan can't guarantee that 90.00% of the people here are her confidants, but he can also be sure that [-]% of them are her people.

It stands to reason that there are a few reds sitting in the yard, so no one should make trouble.

As for A Jin, without Xiao Nan's order, she would not be able to enter the main courtyard at all, let alone cause trouble in the courtyard.

"Back to Mr. Lang, my lady, yes, it is someone sent by my aunt and wife, saying that she wants to see Mr. Liu Lang."

Yu Zhu had a weird expression on her face, she twitched the corners of her mouth, she didn't know whether to cry or to laugh, and said, "Auntie heard that the old man invited the young men at home, and that the man and the man are good friends, so she said I mistakenly thought that Mr. Lang lived with us, so I specially ordered someone to come and see me."

Hearing this, Uncle Cui and Xiao Nan frowned, with painful expressions——er, why did this top-notch aunt find them? !

Twitching the corners of his mouth, Cui Youbo said, "Why does aunt want to see Mr.?" As far as he knew, there were no children in aunt's family who were going to school.

When Yu Zhu thought of what she had just heard, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, swallowing, she said with difficulty: "The person sent by my aunt wants to know how much is Mr. Shu Xiu?"

Afterwards, seeing Xiao Nan and his wife with question marks in their eyes, Yu Zhu added: "My aunt means that Mr. was hired in the name of the public, so his Shuxiu is also paid by the public. But she There are no children of the right age... The aunt thinks that the family should return the money allocated to her room..."
