The surname "Cui" is extremely extraordinary in Jingguo.

There are many families with the surname Cui of Jingguo, but the "Cui family" that people in the world often mention only counts on the Zhou Cui family.

As a famous family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, after several dynasties, the country has changed hands, and how many imperial powers have fallen and risen, but the Cui family is still the Cui family, standing on that land without falling, it is really more stable than the royal family.

Of course, this is not because the Cui family has strong military strength and self-respect, which makes the royal family jealous, but because in the hundreds of years of family inheritance, the Cui family has a very high prestige in Wangzhou and neighboring states, and even in the hearts of the entire world's scholars.

It is easy to destroy a Cui family, but at the same time, there is also the hearts of the people, and the people's confidence in the royal family.

Therefore, even decades ago, when the Cui family's power reached its peak, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and even could influence the court, the royal family did not take any extreme measures against the Cui family.

Of course, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has deliberately supported the Hanmen and adopted a strategy of slowly encroaching on the gate valve forces in the court, and in the past 20 years, the influence of the Cui family on the court has been greatly weakened, especially in this year, the Cui family's layout in the court for more than ten years has been almost devastated, and the momentum has long been much worse than before.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Cui's protégés are all over the world, and their reputation among the people is still there, and there are concubines in the palace, even if the influence is not as good as before, it should not be underestimated.

What's more, the prince born by Cui Guifei is the eldest son of the current emperor, according to the etiquette system, after His Royal Highness the King of Shu ascends to the throne, the power of the Cui family will surely reach a new peak.

Every year on her birthday, Concubine Cui will appear briefly in Cui's house for a while.

This is also one of the few opportunities for some low-level officials to see the demeanor of the harem concubines, of course, when the concubine Niangniang came over, most of them bowed their heads and saluted, and even this opportunity would be missed.

Therefore, no one noticed that in the crowd, the capital made Liu Dayou lower his head and raise a small angle, with some scrutiny in his eyes, and looked at Cui Guifei who was walking slowly.

Then he lowered his head again, his lips moved, and he didn't make a sound, if someone knew lip language, he would naturally be able to read it, and what he said should be ......, "Damn, it's too far away, I can't see clearly......"

Guifei's birthday, according to the etiquette system, during the day, there is still a set of cumbersome processes to go in the palace, and when Cui Guifei comes to Cui's house from the palace, it is already night, even though Cui's mansion has long been lit up and brightly lit, but standing behind the crowd, separated by a distance of more than half a zhang, it is not difficult to see Cui Guifei's appearance, but if you want to see more details, such as what color is the lip grease of the concubine, is there too much makeup powder on the face, is the eyelid a single eyelid and so on......

I can't see it clearly.

Liu Xianling thought for a moment and looked at an official standing in front of him.

Although Cui Guifei was born in the Cui family, since she entered the palace, her identity has changed, and she has become a master and minister relationship with the Cui family, so she was supported by the palace maid, and when she walked in slowly from the outside, the head of the Cui family and the Cui clan were all respectfully standing in front and waiting.

In the crowd, a certain Ministry of Rites lowered his head, waiting for Cui Guifei to walk in front of him, he was still thinking in his heart, and he didn't know what this concubine looked like, he didn't dare to raise his head last year, and he didn't dare to raise his head this year......

Just when he hesitated in his heart to glance at it slightly, a huge force suddenly came from behind him, and the whole person staggered forward.

Poof!

The ceremonial man fell to his knees, and before he could get up, something pressed up from behind him, followed by a slightly panicked voice.

"Who, who just pushed this official!"

"Boom!"

Several guards poured out from behind Cui Guifei, and the swords were unsheathed, pointing directly at the two people in front, "What people!" ”

His eyes were flickered by the cold light on the tip of the knife, and this rite Langzhong had just stood up halfway and softened again.

A middle-aged man got up from the ground and said in a hurry: "I don't know who pushed the official behind my back just now, disturbed the mother's driver, and asked the mother to forgive me!" ”

"What's the matter, who are you?"

The head of the Cui family and everyone in the Cui family hurried over and asked with a gloomy face.

The surrounding officials were also stunned by this incident, and someone recognized the identities of the two men, and immediately there was a whisper of discussion.

"Isn't that Zhang Langzhong from the Ministry of Rites?"

"That, that seems to be Lord Liu in the capital......"

"How did the two of them get out?"

"It's said that someone pushed ......, who would do such a boring thing?"

……

Cui Qingze, the head of the Cui family, knew that it was a false alarm, put down his hanging heart, frowned and was about to speak, when Cui Guifei's voice came.

"Since it's okay, forget it, let's go in first."

"Thank you Niangniang, Niangniang is generous!" Liu Xianling stood respectfully in place, saluted Cui Guifei, and when he raised his head, his face was full of gratitude and reverence.

Then he fell back and stood there respectfully.

The concubine Niangniang is the concubine Niangniang, her eyes, I'm afraid they are the most beautiful ------ single eyelids he has ever seen.

The head of the Cui family glared at Liu County Ling and Lang Zhong of the Rite Department with a vague gaze, and then turned around, stretched out his hand and said, "Niangniang, please ......."

……

Although today is the birthday banquet of the concubine Niangniang, for most people, they can only glance at the concubine Niangniang at the moment when they bow their heads.

After Cui Guifei and the core members of the Cui family entered the main house, the atmosphere outside began to become warm again.

When fireworks began to bloom in the sky above Cui's mansion, at the table in a certain hall, Yu Dingfeng, the head of the Yu family, smiled and said: "If you want to talk about this fireworks, you have to look at Chen Guogong's mansion, Brother Cui, next year, you have to learn more from Brother Chen......

The head of the Cui family smiled and did not speak.

Chen Chong took the Chen family's guards to the Yu Mansion, and even the gate of the Yu Mansion was demolished, although the Yu family paid the price to settle the matter afterwards, but the Liangzi of the two families was settled.

Everyone here is an old fox, everyone knows that Yu Dingfeng's words seem to be praised, but he wants to say that the grandeur of the birthday banquet of the third lady of the Chen family, even Cui Guifei's birthday, is far from it.

Although the Yu family is not as deep-rooted as the Chen family at present, but with the merits of the Yu family, the status in the eyes of the Cui family and His Royal Highness the King of Shu surpasses the Chen family, and it is only a matter of time before it surpasses the Chen family.

In fact, Cui Qingze's attitude just now already has a faint trend.

At the table, a trace of displeasure appeared on Chen Qing's face, but Chen Chong pointed to a dish in front of him as if he hadn't heard or seen it, turned his head and whispered to Zeng Shichun who was sitting next to him: "This dish is not bad, Lord Zeng ...... it."

After Zeng Shichun tasted it, he nodded and said, "It's really good, Lord Chen might as well try this ......."

This scene made many people wonder in their hearts.

The second master of the Chen family and the Zeng family, except for occasionally discussing major matters together, have never had any contact, when did they get so close?

……

At a table outside the hall, between several young people pushing cups and changing lamps, one of them suddenly said, "Look, who is that person?" ”

Everyone's eyes looked over.

"Liu Dayou!"

"It's him!"

"He's here today!"

Including Grandpa Qin, many young sons and brothers in Kyoto have suffered a lot at the hands of this Liu County Commander, and everyone has a deep impression of him.

Zeng Zijian glanced at the side suspiciously, and muttered: "Hasn't this person always looked at Li Yima's head, why is he here today, could it be that ......, he is showing favor to the Cui family?" ”

"Show favor now, I'm afraid it's too late......" Seeing Liu Dayou, someone at the banquet felt a faint pain in his buttocks, and said coldly.

"Xi Xin, it's better for you to go over and investigate, if he really has a good intention of showing favor to your Cui family," the account of the past will be lighter than him, if he has bad intentions and ill intentions, he will ...... today."

Cui Xixin nodded and stood up, with a smile on his face.

This is the Cui family, a small capital order, hehe......

At the banquet in Cui's mansion, acquaintances and friends gathered at a table, drinking the banquet while laughing and talking, both belonging to the Shu King family, and today he personally came to participate in the concubine's birthday banquet, and the contact on weekdays will naturally not be less.

Like Liu County's order, there are not many cases of drinking alone and silently.

Of course, it was precisely because he occupied a table in the corner alone that no one wanted to be with him, and naturally no one could hear the words he whispered when he was drinking alone.

"Single eyelid, single eyelid, double eyelid ......, fuck, what kind of ...... is this"

"Fuck, I knew it earlier, I knew it was today, I didn't come......"

"Fuck, this kind of thing, who believes it?"

"I can't say it, I can't say it now, Cui family, Cui family, you and ...... him"

"Lord Liu......" Cui Xi walked over from behind with a wine glass in his hand, smiling and about to speak.

"Fuck you!"

Liu Xianling turned his head, looked depressed, and said impatiently.
