"Let's talk about it alone......"

Erniang pulled an end note, a meaningful smile flashed in her eyes, and she smiled: "Why not?" Then you talk, Xiuxiu and I went to the kitchen. ”

After Su Xiuxiu and Erniang left, Wang Ruiyue took out a brocade box from her sleeve pocket. The box was opened, and inside was a beautiful jade, with a character engraved on it.

She stood up, blessed slightly, and said, "If it weren't for Cui Yushi, it would not only be difficult for the concubine to avenge her deceased husband, but I am afraid that even herself would not be able to avoid Hou Sizhi's involvement." Such a great favor can only be repaid with this thing. ”

This is written on it, it is obviously the dead ghost Zhang Zirui's things, Cui Geng feels that the relics of the dead are a little too unlucky.

So he politely shirked and said: "This official is the political envoy of Lingnan Province, and it is my duty to investigate the good and evil of the official, and the lady of the Wang family does not have to take it to heart, as for this gift, forget it." ”

……

Wang Ruiyue persuaded a few more words, but Cui Geng just resolutely refused, and finally even said: "This official helped Zhang Zirui to redress his grievances, originally to fulfill the duties of the imperial history." After the matter was completed, I received a gift from Mrs. Wang, but I can't tell if I have selfish intentions, Mrs. Wang doesn't want to embarrass the official. ”

"This ......"

Wang Ruiyue thought for a moment and said, "Cui Yushi must not understand the meaning of this beautiful jade, right?" Yes, it is a relic of the husband. However, handing over this thing to you is not only the meaning of the concubine, but also the meaning of the Zhang family, which is considered that the Zhang family owes Cui Yushi a great favor. Cui Yushi encountered something difficult in the future, as long as he returned this jade pendant, the Zhang family would definitely do their best to help. ”

Speaking of which, she was beautiful and light, and her eyes were bright, as if this promise was so precious.

Cui Geng listened to it but was a little unimpressed, and said: "When Hou Sizhi forced marriage, the Zhang family seemed to be ...... It didn't help much. ”

"It's not that they didn't help, but that the slave family didn't inform them." Wang Ruiyue explained: "Otherwise, even if there is no Cui Yushi, Hou Sizhi will never be able to please him." ”

"Really?"

Cui Geng's face was full of disbelief, and the implicit meaning was very obvious - you were so troubled that you were about to commit suicide, why didn't you notify the Zhang family? Isn't it their right thing to do?

Wang Ruiyue Bingxue was smart, of course she understood what he meant, sighed softly, and said, "Actually, with Cui Yushi's cleverness, you can understand it after a little thought." Like what...... Why did Hou Sizhi finally extinguish his mind of marrying a slave? ”

Cui Geng understood in an instant - Kefu!

I can think of it, Wang Ruiyue is afraid that after hearing the news of Zhang Zirui's death, she will think of this problem.

If you tell the Zhang family about Hou Sizhi's forced marriage again, maybe some people will say such ugly things - hey, why is the Zhang family so unlucky to marry Wang Ruiyue, a broom star. She not only killed her husband Zhang Zirick, but now she wants to kill the entire Zhang family!

Wang Ruiyue's intention to commit suicide did not taste or realize that he was an ominous person.

Cui Geng hurriedly persuaded: "What kind of Kefu is not Kefu?" According to the official, it is all nonsense. Mrs. Wang is in her prime, and the days will be long in the future? Don't bother with the gossip. ”

"If you ignore it, you won't be able to do it." Wang Ruiyue smiled bitterly and said, "Because of Hou Sizhi's matter, the news of the slave family Kefu is spreading, and I am afraid that I will really die alone." ”

Although it was to save Wang Ruiyue, thinking of this rumor and his own factors contributing to the trouble, Cui Geng suddenly panicked.

Inevitably continuing to be embarrassed, he looked left and right and said, "According to this, the Zhang family is quite powerful?" ”

At the mention of this, Wang Ruiyue couldn't help but feel a little more proud, and said: "Of course, after Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Hanliu, the prime minister's family, can it be simple?" ”

Chinese write family trees, whether it is true or false, whether it can be attached or not, most of them like to find a historical celebrity as their ancestor.

However, after the Weizhou Zhang family said that it was Zhang Liang, it was not a clinging at all, but an undoubted fact.

In fact, it is not very accurate to say that it is Weizhou Zhang's, to be precise, it is called Qinghe Zhang's.

Zhang Liang's descendants live in Qinghe, and in all dynasties, there are high-ranking ~ officials in the imperial court, and there are several prime ministers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a family of prime ministers.

It's just that in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and Qinghe became a place of war between the Sui army and the rebels. In order to avoid the fate of being careless, the whole clan will be wiped out. Zhang Wenqian of the Zhang clan of Qinghe left Qinghe with a part of his clansmen and came to Weizhou.

His branch has developed very well in Weizhou, and Zhang Wenqian and Zhang Da'an have successively served as prime ministers.

Up to now, although Zhang Da'an's branch has fallen, there are still several sons of Zhang Wenqian who have served as senior ~ officials of the Great Zhou.

What's more, Zhang Wenjun's nephew Zhang Xi is very valued by Wu Zetian, and almost everyone thinks that as long as time passes, this person will be able to worship the prime minister.

In addition, Wang Ruiyue also told Cui Geng a piece of news that the reason why Zhang Zirui was deposed from Yangzhou was not simply corruption and bribery.

In fact, when Wu Zetian was in power, the government was not very clear. Of course, there are mistakes in rebellion, but most of them turn a blind eye to things like corruption and bribery.

With the power of the Zhang family, even if Zhang Zirui is caught, it may not be impossible to cover it up.

Zhang Zirui was dismissed, mainly because he was Zhang Daan's nephew.

When Zhang Da'an was the prime minister, he was very close to Wu Zetian's son, Li Xian, who was called "Prince Zhang Huai" by later generations.

Li Xianna is a person who has been the crown prince of the Eight Classics, supported by the ministers, known as the virtuous king, and has supervised the country many times.

Wu Zetian wanted to monopolize the power and change Tang to Zhou, so he naturally regarded Li Xian as a thorn in the flesh, and exiled him for the crime of rebellion.

Then it was time to deal with his henchmen, and Zhang Da'an and Zhang Zirui both ate melons.

In general, Zhang Zirui is indeed corrupt and bribed, but the real reason for being demoted is that he is on the wrong side.

Although the Qinghe Zhang family is not among the five surnames and seven families, it is indeed a family that has been passed down for thousands of years.

It is precisely because of this that he has the opportunity to marry Wang Ruiyue as his wife.

After listening to Wang Ruiyue's allusions and origins, Cui Geng felt that he could hug this kind of big thick legs, can he let it go?

Immediately, he stopped being hypocritical, solemnly took this beautiful jade with both hands, nodded and said: "Since the Qinghe Zhang family is so gracious, then Cui someone can't help but know how to lift." ”

After another gossip, Wang Ruiyue didn't even eat, so she said goodbye and left.

Erniang and Su Xiuxiu specially prepared a table of good wine and good food, which can only be enjoyed at home.

While eating, Erniang suddenly put down her chopsticks, glanced around, and said endlessly: "What do you think?" ”

Mao Bo twisted his silver hair, coughed, and said tremblingly: "Although it is a good thing, is this a grievance to Erlang?" ”

"What grievances? Otherwise, it will be our Cui family's turn? Erniang's eyes were bright, and she said categorically: "I have already thought about it, there will be no such shop in this village, so I will do it." ”

Su Xiuxiu hesitated slightly: "I'm not worried about anything else, she doesn't even have a child now, who knows if she can have children in the future?" This is about the Cui family's incense ......"

The three of you say a word, and I say a word, but Cui Geng is confused.

He also put down his chopsticks and asked, "What did you say?" What is wronged and not wronged? ”

"You don't feel anything at all?" Erniang said: "We have all analyzed it for you, then Wang Ruiyue will leave as soon as she goes, why did she run so far to see you once?" I'm afraid she's taking a fancy to you! Erlang, this is a five-surnamed seven-wang girl, if you really marry her, our Cui family can change the court. It doesn't matter if she's a widow~ woman, it doesn't matter how old she is, even if it's older, what? We can't miss it. It's a big deal that after you marry her, if you think she is too old and her appearance is not good, you will take a few more concubines in the future. ”

"What kind of mess?"

Cui Geng then understood that these people thought it was a big sale in the mall, and they wanted to buy and buy like crazy.

He shook his head and said, "It's not what you think, people are sending me something specifically......"

Then, he told Wang Ruiyue in detail about the conversation with him today.

Unexpectedly, Erniang not only didn't give up after hearing this, but also said excitedly: "Oh, my stupid Erlang, why didn't you understand the other party's hints." Didn't she say that? I have a bad reputation, and I'm afraid I'm going to die alone. If anyone doesn't dislike her reputation......"

This Erniang is really a ghost, a magic obstacle!

Cui Geng picked up the chopsticks and continued to pull the rice, muttering, you just think too much, if people are really interesting to me, why don't you have a meal at our house?

Erniang is full of words, saying, the lady of the Wang family is shy, your sister-in-law and I are both from the past, what does she want to do, we can't see through it?

In desperation, Cui Geng could only use his truce card and flickered: "Erniang, don't care if this thing is true or false, I really don't like her." Have you ever heard of it, there is a Chaozhou Sima's daughter Lu Lihua......"

The Cao family has heard about it, and Erniang has naturally heard about it, and asked: "The daughter of Chaozhou Sima, can she still be compared with the daughter of the five surnames and seven hopes?" ”

"Hehe, she's not just Lu Xiong's daughter......"

After listening to Cui Geng's introduction to Lu Lihua's life experience, Erniang was also embarrassed.

Although the Lu family is an ordinary family, the Shangguan family is not a nouveau riche, and they are high-ranking ~ dignitaries in the court during the Great Sui period.

In addition, there is Shangguan Wan'er in the palace, which is very beneficial to Cui Geng's career.

On the one hand, there is a huge reputation, and on the other hand, there are real benefits, how to choose? What a blissful annoyance!

As for Cao Yuechan? I'm sorry, I can't get into the eyes of the second lady of the Cui family now.

Cui Geng saw that she was no longer holding Wang Ruiyue's topic endlessly, so he let out a long breath.

A few days later, Cao Yuechan sent a letter to him, saying that he had agreed to Cui Geng's plan, and Jufenglong began to expand rapidly.

There is Cui Geng's phalanx deployment in Jufenglong, and Cao Yuechan's pioneering spirit outside, which is really a day and a month.

But just when the situation was very good, Cui Geng suddenly got a not-so-good news.
