What catches your eye is a tall, imposing carved gatehouse, the top of the gatehouse is the eaves type building, there are double-sided brick carvings on the lintel, one side is the flower blooms rich, one side is the bamboo newspaper peace, the top is a gold lacquer plaque of the bucket, the dragon flying phoenix dance is written with the two big characters of "Cui Fu".

Normally, the gatehouse is open to the door, for people to enter and exit, the middle door is closed, there are major things will open the door, but Cui Mansion is just the opposite, the bilateral door is closed, the door is open, but from the outside to the inside, you can't see the situation inside, the reason is very simple, one side of the shadow wall decorated with jade blocks the view, from the layout of the house, this shadow wall is called the inner shadow wall.

Cui's house is obviously heightened, higher than the road, the door to the outside of the road to build six steps with bluestone, two more than one meter high stone lions on the steps, there are also two small stone lions by the door, just look at it, Zheng Peng is a little puzzled, few people will put four lions in front of the door, when Zheng Peng saw the wood carving on the side of the threshold, he quickly realized.

The homonym of the four lions is "everything is good", which is an auspicious symbol.

Looking from the outside to the inside, the red bricks, the green window lattices, the white railings, the pale yellow tile corridor waist manback, the eaves teeth are high pecked, I don't know how many into how heavy, and then with the magnificent and luxurious gatehouse, the clothes and decorations of the rich slaves, there is a sense of solemnity and extraordinary momentum at a glance.

This is the heritage of a famous family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

"This son, who are you looking for?" Seeing Zheng Peng and his entourage stationed in front of Cui's mansion, riding a tall horse and wearing gorgeous clothes, a disciple stepped forward and said very politely.

Zheng Peng jumped off his horse, arched his hand and said: "Dingyuan General Zheng Peng, I was ordered to inspect military affairs in Hebei Province. ”

As he spoke, Huang San had already handed over the name card and gift list that had been prepared on the side.

"It turned out to be General Zheng, please wait a while, the little one will come when he goes." As soon as he heard that Zheng Peng was a general or a messenger who was ordered to do things, his face immediately became respectful.

After the doorman went in with the name card and gift list, Huang San whispered: "Miss Lu Shu is in the embroidery building behind her, but the embroidery building is surrounded by trees, and it is difficult to see." ”

Lu Shu was inside, Zheng Peng for a moment, and a scene of the two of them spending a good time together appeared in his mind, and he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

Since they were forced to separate from Lu Shu in Guixiang, this is the closest the two have ever been to each other.

The Yiren are in the embroidery building of Cui's mansion, but they just can't see each other.

Just when Zheng Peng was full of thoughts, Huang San gently pushed Zheng Peng: "Young master, that sect has come out." ”

Zheng Peng came back to his senses, only to see the doorman just now come out, saw Zheng Peng, handed the things back to Huang San with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "Several, please go back, Ah Lang said that he didn't have time to see you, and said that let Er wait for more fun and leave Boling as soon as possible." ”

When Zheng Peng heard this, he immediately said: "I'm tired of reporting again, just say that I will meet, and I can't delay Cui Yushi for much time." ”

Menzi shook his head very decisively and said, "No need to report, a few people, please go back, Ah Lang will not see you." ”

After sending the famous thorn and the gift list in, Cui Yuan just glanced at it, and then said with a flat face: If the order goes down, whoever will report for Zheng Peng will break his leg on the spot.

The subordinates didn't know why the head of the family didn't even see a Qincha with the emperor's order, he didn't dare to ask, but he was very persistent in carrying it out.

Everyone in Cui Mansion knows that Cui Yuan has always been the same, and he said that if he breaks his leg, he will definitely break it.

No matter what Zheng Peng's reaction was, Menzi turned around and left.

Huang San was a little dumbfounded, and then said indignantly: "The shelf is too big, how can you say that my young master is also a Qincha, if you don't see it, you won't see it?" ”

Seeing that Huang San wanted to theorize, Zheng Peng grabbed him and said, "Forget it, let's find a place to eat first, and then find a way later." ”

Mentally prepared in advance, Zheng Peng was not disappointed, and let everyone go to eat first.

I've been working all the way, and I'm still hungry.

Zheng Peng didn't notice that when he left, Cui Yuan was building a corner tower on the wall, and watched Zheng Peng and his party leave.

"I didn't expect the surname Zheng to dare to come, Ah Lang, what should I do?" Cui Fu, the housekeeper on the side, asked with some concern.

Cui Fu is also the slave of the Cui family, for the big family, slaves are the most lacking, just need to let the slaves combine at the right time, slaves give birth to slaves, and no one will call them.

Cui Fu, who has been by Cui Yuan's side since he was a child, has grown from a childhood companion to Cui Yuan's confidant and housekeeper, and he also knows about Zheng Peng.

If you don't know anything, when Cui Yuan is not there, I am afraid that Zheng Peng will take advantage of it.

Cui Yuan said with a sneer: "Hang him, and when he is impatient, he will naturally leave." ”

"I didn't expect him to dare to come here."

"It's not surprising that the situation in the Western Regions is very good, and he is willing to come back, but he still returns to Beijing quickly with an injury, he already knows what his idea is, and it is too late to appear."

Cui Fu said with some worry: "Ah Lang, what if the surname Zheng dies here?" Recently, the young lady often wants to go out, either to go to the temple to offer incense or to the street...... The old slave found someone to scare him and make him retreat. ”

Where is Lu Shu going out, she clearly guessed in her heart that Zheng Peng would rush to Boling, and took the opportunity to go out to see if she could meet, even if the housekeeper didn't mention Cui Yuan, he thought about it for a while, and then ordered:

"It's not proper, Zheng Peng has just made a great achievement, and I don't know what method he used, His Majesty actually asked him to be the overseer of Hebei Province, with the emperor's order, that is the fate of Qin Cha, Yao Xiang, you don't know, let your subordinates, don't act rashly."

"Yes, yes, yes, or is Ah Lang thoughtful, but let him be at ease in Boling?" Cui Fu said a little unwillingly.

Cui Yuan sneered: "You also said just now, this is Boling, the surname Zheng thinks of making trouble in our land, he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, let the wind out, everyone don't do business with the surname Zheng, just say that I said, wait for the surname Zheng to have nothing to eat, no place to live, see how long they can stay." ”

"It's still Aaron Yingming." Cui Fu's eyes lit up, and he said with admiration.

When Cui Yuan spoke, Zheng Peng was already feasting on a building called Drunken Immortal.

Different places have different customs and habits, the food here in Boling is Hebei taste, under the recommendation of Huang San, Zheng Peng and his party of five tasted the scum cake and eight bowls.

The so-called eight big bowls are traditional famous dishes in Hebei, with five-colored "silk chowder"; fatty but not greasy "fried meat"; There is a "steamed pork" next door; There are "tiger skin balls" wrapped in meat and vegetables; There is a fat and thin "fried chicken"; There is a tender and chic "chowder"; There are beautifully seasoned "steamed meatballs"; There is also a light and fragrant "silver silk belly", which has meat and vegetarian dishes, fine cooking, delicious and delicious.

After eating, there are crispy, crispy, fragrant and sweet scum cakes, and Zheng Peng and his entourage are full of oil.

"Young master, this meal is still appetizing, right?" Huang San said with some appreciation.

Zheng Peng dragged Liu Huo and Ji Cheng and said, "You should ask the two of you how you are eating, whether it is suitable for your appetite." ”

Ji Cheng hurriedly said: "Don't dare, we rough people, it's a good meal, it's not a good meal, sometimes a mouthful of Hu cake can cope with a mouthful of water, it's really lucky to follow General Zheng, I don't contribute on weekdays, but I just follow the light." ”

"The brothers in the army all say that General Zheng is this." Liu Huo also gave a thumbs up.

Zheng Peng smiled, turned his head and said to Huang San: "I'm tired for a day, I've eaten and drunk enough, which inn is good, lead the way in front." ”

It's only the middle of August, Zheng Peng is not in a hurry, he is full of food and drink, and he is ready to find a place to rest, recuperate his spirits, and fight with Cui Yuan tomorrow.

"Young master, go this way, the best inn here is the guest inn, which is clean and hygienic, and there is a small courtyard with a small garden." Huang San said as he led the way.

Zheng Peng sent Huang San here to keep an eye on Lu Shu's news, this is an idle errand, Huang San has already been familiar with this place.

A group of five people came to the luxuriously decorated guest inn, but they didn't expect the shopkeeper to pour a basin of cold water on Zheng Peng and others on the spot: "A few guest officers, this store is full, please move your step and go to other inns to have a look." ”

"Filling up so quickly? It's not a solar term today, and no one entertains guests. Huang San said with some surprise.

"It's fully booked, I'm really sorry, forgive me, forgive me." The shopkeeper said again and again: "Open the door to do business, no one will push the money out, let's take a look elsewhere." ”

The shopkeeper said this, Zheng Peng had no choice but to leave this welcome inn with a good environment.

"Huang San, let's go, take us to find another inn with a good environment." Zheng Peng commanded.

Money is earned and spent, not earned, Sanbao is making money every day, and the braised meat business in cooperation with Guo Fu has been very stable, and Zheng Peng is happy to spend money.

"There's also a Fengyue Building, it's not far ahead." Huang San soon had another goal.

Zheng Peng waved his hand: "Let's go, Fengyue Building." ”

"I'm sorry, this inn is full, a few people, please."

"The rooms are all booked, not to mention that Xiaolangjun pays double the price, even if it is ten times the price, there is no room."

"Don't you see the sign, it's full today, you can take a look elsewhere."

"You don't have to take the approval documents, the little old believes in the innocence of a few people, I'm really sorry, the store has been packed, forgive the reception."

The first and second refused, Zheng Peng did not believe in evil, and walked more than ten inns in a row, even a small inn with average conditions also asked, some inns did not see people, but whether it was the shopkeeper or the guy, it was a common word: no room, it is useless to give how much room fee.

Liu Huo and Ji Cheng looked at each other, the two of them lost the hippie smile in front of them, and followed behind Zheng Peng with some restraint, no longer speaking easily.

went to Boling Cui's visit and was refused, and then all the inns refused to receive it, just thinking with their butts, there must be a ghost among them, seeing Zheng Peng's face becoming more and more gloomy, both of them subconsciously kept silent.

"Young master, I remember that about two miles away from here, there is a small inn, where the scenery is good, and the fee is appropriate, why don't we try our luck." Huang San said cautiously.

"No" Zheng Peng suddenly turned over and commanded: "Huang San, you go buy some dry food." ”

Huang San hurriedly responded, turned around and went to a small restaurant, ready to buy some dry food.

After a while, Huang San rushed out with some anger, turned around and ran to another shop selling dim sum, but after a while, he came out empty-handed.

A quarter of an hour later, Huang San ran to Zheng Peng out of breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, it's evil, those people say they don't do my business, so they can't say it's okay, even if they add money." ”

Zheng Peng turned his head and looked at Cui Mansion, which was obviously a cut above the ordinary house in the distance, and his face became even heavier.

If one or two rooms are full and it is reasonable to refuse, now the businessmen in the entire area have put themselves on the "blacklist", needless to say, it must be Cui Yuan who spoke.

Boling, Cui's territory, Cui's family, who has been operating here for hundreds of years, has unparalleled influence, he just came here, and he has no time to grudge with others, except for Cui Yuan.

This Cui Yuan is really ruthless, not only can't enter the door, but also makes people not do their own business.

Before they met, give yourself a dismount.

Fortunately, eat first, otherwise wait for the news and legends, let alone eat a big meal, even the leftovers of tea will not be eaten.

"These Diao people are simply the opposite" Liu Huo said angrily: "General Liu, they are obviously bullying us are foreigners, there is a Zhichong Mansion thirty miles away from here, wait for the subordinates to go to the Zhichong Mansion to move troops, see which one dares to be rude to us." “

Zuo Xiaowei is one of the twelve guards guarding the capital, the emperor's personal soldiers, the status is very high, and he is also a sideways character in Chang'an, he was angry when he was looking for an inn, and when he saw Zheng Peng's bad mood, he immediately stood up in solidarity and expressed support.

"Yes, let's see if it's their mouths or our swords and arrows." Ji Cheng also echoed.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "No, this is Cui Yushi's fighting with me, it's a trivial matter, there is no need to make a big fight, otherwise others will still say that we have a small amount of energy, you don't care about this matter, but in the next few days, the two of you may have to suffer a little and experience a few days of hard life." ”

"Where, those of us who are soldiers are afraid of everything, but we are not afraid of hardship."

"Hehe, following General Liu, it is bitter and sweet."

Liu Huo and Ji Cheng hurriedly expressed their attitude.

said that it was to transfer troops to teach these people a lesson, but in fact, it was just lip service, Zheng Peng only had the right to supervise the army, not the right to transfer troops, and then the transfer of troops to Boling Cui's land to make trouble, it became unreasonable and unreasonable.

It is one thing to take people short, eat people softly, and not take action, but it is another thing to not express one's position.

Zheng Peng smiled meaningfully at the two, turned his head and said to Huang San: "Cui Yuan is here, covering the sky with one hand, it seems that tonight is a difficult inn, Huang San, do you know where there are temples and caves near here, seeing that it is getting dark, I will spend the night first, and then I will find a way tomorrow." ”

Since you are here, you will never leave if you don't reach your goal, and you can't stay in an inn, so you can find a place outside the city to deal with it for one night.

I really couldn't find it, so I could sleep one night by climbing up a tree and tying myself with a rope.

Now is the time of summer and autumn, the weather is neither cold nor hot, and he is not afraid of cold in the wild, so Zheng Peng is not in a hurry at all.

"Young master, yes" Huang San quickly said: "About five miles away from the outskirts of the city, there is a dilapidated Guandi Temple, although no one takes care of it, it can still sleep in a while." ”

"Just close the Emperor Temple, lead the way!"

Before leaving, Zheng Peng deliberately looked back at the Cui family's mansion, and then looked at the sky, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: Cui Yuan, let you be proud for a while today, and I will clean you up tomorrow.
