In fact, Yao Du and Song Genhai are not as unbearable as Feng Changqing said, these two guys have been headhunters and small officials for so many years, and they have some savings no matter what, so they won't eat the last meal without a meal in a month.

It's just that I resigned from the post of Zhechong Prefecture, and it is not a way to sit back and eat.

After drinking the wine in the cup, listening to Feng Changqing burying people like this, Song Genhai naturally stopped drying, wiped a handful of wine stains from his mouth, and explained dryly: "My lord, don't listen to the surname Feng, we are not ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yao Du gently tugged on his sleeve and shouted, "You're clever!" Can Brother Feng not understand? Adults can't think of it? This is the reason, people are arranging a way back for us. ”

Song Genhai suddenly realized, laughed a few times and stopped explaining, while eating those Dragon Boat Festival snacks, he started his sycophant business.

In his opinion, among the three of them, Feng Changqing is both civil and military, and Yao Du is proficient, and he has a skill, and the pressure is still very high. Industry is good at diligence and frolic, and this only sycophant kung fu can not be wasted.

Yao Du and Feng Changqing observed their words, and also began to say some happy things, coaxing the boss to be happy, and for a while, there was laughter and laughter in the hall, and he was happy.

Tuk tuk tuk ~~

On the ground, there was a knock on the knocker.

Cui Geng was slightly stunned, in recent days, the front of his house has reached the point where there are many people. At this juncture, apart from Feng Changqing San'er, who else will come?

He simply didn't ask Xiao Jiu'er to open the door, he went out of the hall and came to the door.

Soon, the door opened. Two old men in green shirts appeared in front of Cui Geng.

A person with strong spirits and gray hair is the original Quanzhou Thorn Shi Feng Pu.

As for the other one, I don't know!

Looking at this person, he is already in his prime, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes are yellow.

Looking at it carefully, this old man has good facial features, a white complexion, and his whole body is spotlessly clean, and he must have been among the handsome gentlemen when he was young.

I don't know each other, but if I can walk with Feng Pu, I guess the identity of this old man can't be simple, Cui Geng very politely invited the two into the hall.

"Hey, it's an old thorn?"

"I've seen Feng Tingshi!"

Feng Changqing and the others hurriedly got up to give Feng Pu a salute.

"Sit! Sit! Sit! ”

Feng Pu waved his hand very open-mindedly and said, "The old man has already come to the end of his position, and he is no longer the assassin of Quanzhou, so don't call it again!" Now the old man is just like you, he is a flat-headed ordinary person. If you're happy, you call me Uncle Feng, and if you're not happy, just call me Old Man Feng, you don't have to be formal. ”

Feng Changqing and the others said they didn't dare.

The atmosphere in the hall soon relaxed.

Everyone sat down again, and Xiao Jiu'er brought new pu wine, five poison cakes, zongzi, shortbread and seasonal fresh fruits.

Feng Pu pointed to the strange old man and said, "Erlang, do you know who this old gentleman is?" ”

Cui Geng got up again and said respectfully: "Forgive the younger generation, I really don't know this old man." ”

"Hey! What an old man. The old man's face was gloomy, and he laughed at himself: "It's just a poor creature who has no face and no skin and lives in the world." ”

Feng Pu frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "How can Brother Li belittle himself like this?" If you do this again, I'll... I'm just... Never take you out to play again! ”

Laugh at...... What are these words?

Cui Geng almost laughed out loud, secretly thinking, now Lao Feng is really unofficial and light, his mood is relaxed, and he is about to become an old child when he speaks.

He asked, "Lord Feng, I don't know who this old man is......"

"Hey, Erlang, speaking of Brother Li, it's amazing." Feng Pu shook his head and said, "If a few months ago, you Cui Erlang would have the honor to meet his old man, it would be a blessing to invite the heavens!" ”

"Alas...... Brother Feng Pu is not going to put gold on the old man's face. ”

The old man sighed and said with a wry smile: "Cui Yushi, it's really not a secret, a few months ago, the old man's name was Wu Siwen, and he was the official Shangshu of the Great Zhou. As for now, my name is Li Siwen, but I am just a prisoner in Lingnan. ”

Good guy, the local official book, isn't it the household book?

Cui Geng glanced at the old man in front of him in surprise, he had actually become one of the six Shangshu in a few months, no wonder Feng Pu said this just now, it was really big!

Song Genhai's knowledge is not much better than that of illiterate, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did you demote the official and change your surname?" That's not the same as changing an ancestor......"

"Shut up, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!" Cui Geng reprimanded this unruly thing.

Li Siwen was quite generous, and said: "Cui Yushi Mo wants to be angry, and the little that the old man has done in his life is not a secret. Even if you can stop him, how can you stop the world's mouths? ”

Listening to the sad tone of his old friend, Feng Pu put his hand on the other party's shoulder and patted it twice to show comfort.

Cui Geng and the others were also curious, what did Li Siwen do, how could he suddenly change from the position of the head of the household department to a prisoner exiled to Lingnan?

I saw that Li Siwen wiped his mouth after drinking three glasses of pu wine in a row, and saw that everyone was curious, and then he chattered: "Alas, the old man is really hard to say in this life......

Among the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, there is such a person who ranks among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, he is rumored to be a god, and in the folk word of mouth, he is simply like a fairy.

He is the famous - Xu Maogong.

Xu Maogong, formerly known as Xu Shixian, the word Maogong. Later, Li Shimin gave him the surname Li.

In order to avoid the word "world" in Li Shimin's name, Li Shichang changed his name to Li Tao and was knighted as the Duke of England.

The old man in front of him, Li Siwen, is the second son of the late British Gong Li Tao for an unknown number of years.

Seven years ago, Wu Zetian wantonly killed the Li Tang royal family, and Li Jingye, the grandson of Li Tao, was dissatisfied and raised troops in Yangzhou to destroy Wu Xingtang.

And this Li Siwen stood on the opposite side of his eldest nephew Li Jingye, first made a small report to Wu Zetian before Li Jingye raised his army, and later defended Runzhou and confronted Li Jingye's army.

After the city of Runzhou was broken, Li Jingye said in public, uncle, how can you help Wu Zetian deal with your own nephew? I don't think you deserve the surname Li, you should be surnamed Wu!

But after all, he was his own uncle, and Li Jingye didn't kill him after capturing Runzhou City, but just locked up his uncle Li Siwen.

Later, Li Jingye's army was defeated, Wu Zetian's army invaded Runzhou, and Li Siwen was taken to Chang'an City.

After Wu Zetian heard about Li Siwen's loyal deeds, he said that it is very good that you are so loyal to the queen. Didn't your nephew Li Jingye say that you should be surnamed Wu? Okay, I will give you the surname Wu, and from now on you will be my own relative.

Since then, Wu Siwen has soared to the top of the sky, and finally the official residence of the official Shangshu (Hubu Shangshu), which can be regarded as one of the few bigwigs in the court.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and there were traitors who suddenly became greedy with Wu Zetian one day, and said, Your Majesty, haven't you heard the story of the three Zhuge brothers serving Wei Shu and Wu during the Three Kingdoms?

It is very likely that everything that the local official Shangshu Wu Siwen did before was secretly conspired with Li Jingye. Li Jingye's rebellion was successful, and their Li family went to the next level. What if the rebellion is unsuccessful? Wu Siwen will be able to keep a trace of vitality for the Li family. The uncle and nephew of the Li family are smart, they know how not to put all their eggs in one basket!

Of course, there is no evidence for this kind of thing, but Wu Zetian is suspicious by nature, and when he thinks about it, he really thinks that this is really possible, so he would naturally rather be in vain! So she made a decree to let Wu Siwen change her surname back to Li, and then send Lingnan.

Feng Pu used to have a good relationship with Li Siwen, so he helped him with a little bit and exiled him to Quanzhou. Quanzhou also belongs to Lingnan Road, doesn't it?

After Cui Geng finished listening, he couldn't hold back the little gossip in his chest, and said, "Old Man Li, then the person you just said to your majesty was making a false accusation, or is it saying... Is he telling the truth? ”

Li Siwen smiled bitterly: "Cui Yushi thinks, how should the old man answer?" ”

Cui Geng pondered for a while, and it was really difficult to answer. said that Li Siwen betrayed his relatives, and this reputation can be regarded as stinking on the street.

said that it was not a false accusation, and if it was spread, Wu Zetian would be able to destroy the last bit of blood of the old Li family now.

No matter how Li Siwen answered, it was a mistake.

Cui Geng groaned for a moment, anyway, this matter has already passed, and now this has something to do with him? He simply shook his head, raised the wine cup in front of him, and said: "As the saying goes, success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times." Okay, let's not talk about that, drink and drink! ”

He casually recited a few familiar words in "Absurd Dream", but Li Siwen subconsciously recited it silently a few times, his eyes were stunned.

Old man Feng is a cultural person in the end, he read the silver hair in his hand, and praised: "Look, it is said that Erlang does not learn and has no skills, and he has a belly of straw, this is simply nonsense!" In two casual sentences, he is brilliant in writing and sees through the world! That's right, right or wrong, success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times, which is really good. That's right......"

Speaking of this, he smiled at Cui Gengyu and quipped: "Today, two of us old men who have lost their official positions and resigned are here to celebrate your birthday, Erlang, you won't feel unlucky, right?" ”

"What are you talking about? That can't be! ”

Cui Geng waved his big hand and said, "Aren't I also unlucky now?" Hehe, we're eating fat with open teeth - don't say anyone! Come on, drink, let's not get drunk today! ”

"Yes, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" People echoed in unison.

Everyone drank happily and talked loudly, so happy.

After a long while, suddenly—

"Crackling~~"

"Knock Boom Knock~~"

"Tick Tick Woo Woo Wow~~"

Outside Cui's mansion, the gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers were ringing, and the suona was bursting, so noisy that they couldn't speak properly.

"Grandma's, who dares to give us a bad time!"

Song Genhai looked confused after a few glasses of wine, and it was when he felt that seven were dissatisfied and eight were not angry, so he screamed and wanted to go out to make trouble.

When this guy got up, there was a sound of knocking on the door knocker outside the house, and someone shouted loudly: "Is Erlang at home?" Erlang, Erlang, the old man is here to celebrate your birthday. ”

This voice sounds familiar!

Cui Geng hurriedly got up to greet him, opened the door, and looked at it, it was the sea businessmen Lin Zhixiang and Zhang Yuanchang!

Those gongs, drums, and suona formations, and the movements of firecrackers are exactly what they made up.

Not only that, I don't know where Zhang Lin's two families invited a hundred opera troupes to set up a scene on a few streets in front of Cui's mansion.

Puppet plays, army plays, rehearsal plays, muddy dances, spinning plates, throwing guns, kicking bottles, throwing missiles, waist fighting, stepping on balls, swallowing knives, spitting fire, Tibetan narrows, roller coasters, dry boats, seeking, ropes, pill swords...... And so on.

Where have the people of Qingyuan County ever seen such a rare scene? Suddenly, every household helped the old and the young to come out, and surrounded the Lijing Fang, where Cui's mansion is located, with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Cui Geng saw the scene and wondered for a while, what are these two old men so tender?

Immediately, he led Lin Zhixiang, Lin Sanlang and his son, as well as Zhang Yuanchang, into the hall.

As soon as a few people entered the hall and saw that Feng Pu was also there, they naturally exchanged a few words of greeting.

At this time, Cui Geng clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Old man Lin, old man Zhang, it's not that Cui doesn't know how to lift, it's just that you made such a big move for my little birthday today, it's really unwise!" Come to Junchen, the well-known pickled villain's small-bellied chicken intestines, he will be revenged, once he knows that he is angry with the two of you, have you ever considered the consequences? ”
