Chapter 048: The Cao Family, the Two Masters

Thinking that Dong Yan might be able to solve this urgent need for himself, Cui Geng's mood instantly improved a lot.

Immediately, he asked Yao Du to grind the pen, he came to dictate, and Yao Du drafted a letter to Dong Yan. It stands to reason that this kind of personal correspondence should be best written by himself, and one is the county lieutenant of Qingyuan and the other is the commander of Longxi County, how can the letters between the two be pretended to be in the hands of others?

But there is no trick at the moment, although Cui Geng has been in private school for a few years, but his dog-crawling words are really difficult to wait for the elegant hall. In desperation, I had to dictate and let Yao Du write.

As soon as Yao Du heard that Cui Geng was going to write to Dong Yan, his heart suddenly lit up. He is also well-informed in the county government, and naturally knows the relationship between Cui Geng and Dong Yan, so he can't help but secretly say, yes, Dong County Ling was the county leader of Qingyuan at the beginning, and it is not difficult for him to come forward to recommend local scholars and teachings to Qingyuan County School. Especially now that Dong Yan's official road is open, as soon as he opens his mouth, those scholarly families in Qingyuan will always sell him some face, right?

Thinking that the relationship between Cui and Dong was extraordinary, Yao Du's mind also became hot, and he said secretly, damn, I have gone out, and I will not do it if I fight for this county, and I will go all the way with Cui County Lieutenant to the end. In case the county lieutenant Cui loses his power in Qingyuan County, for the sake of my loyalty to him in the past, I will also recommend someone Yao to eat at Dong County's place, right?

"It seems that this deal is a good deal!"

The more Yao Du thought about it, the more active his mind became, and the speed at which he lifted his pen became faster and faster. Soon, a cautiously worded but earnest letter was completed in Yao Du's hands.

Cui Geng picked up the letter and read it carefully, and after finding no problem, he handed it back to Yao Du and instructed: "I remember that there is a fast horse in the post station, you give this letter to Qin Liangyou at the post station, and ask him to hurry to the Longxi County Ya and personally hand it over to Dong County Ling." ”

Yao Du squeaked and hurried out of the county magistrate's office.

From Qingyuan County to Longxi County, even if you ride a good horse day and night, it will take at least three days to go back and forth.

In the next three days, Cui Geng basically went to the point of Yingmao to pay the ya, went home to the point of dispersion, and occasionally went to the winery over there in Zhouxifang, or went to the north and south warehouses to find Tian Wenkun to see the recent sales of Mulan spring wine in Quanzhou Prefecture. Life was peaceful.

During this period, Hu Zeyi also sent Song Wen to inquire about the process of reviving the county school, but Cui Geng was pushed off by Cui Geng on the grounds that 'the matter is big and lengthy, and it is not a matter that can be achieved overnight'.

However, he himself knew that Hu Zeyi and Song Wen would not let him delay for too long. Therefore, he became more and more anxious for Dong Yan's reply.

Day 4......

Day 5......

still didn't wait for Dong Yan's reply, and even Qin Liangyou, the postman sent to Longxi to deliver the letter, did not return for a long time.

It stands to reason that it can bring back good news in three days, but so far there has been no news. Cui Geng sat in the county governor's office, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious......

Tuk tuk tuk ~

Knock!

Cui Geng stood up and subconsciously shouted, "Are you back?" ”

However, it is a pity that it is not Qin Liangyou or Yao Du who came in, but the official who is standing at the gate of the county government.

When Cui Geng saw it, he was slightly disappointed and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The yacha came in and bowed with his fists and said: "Report to your lordship, the Cao family sent someone outside the county office, saying that Master Cao was holding a banquet in the mansion, and asked the lord to move over the mansion." ”

Cui Geng asked, "Which Master Cao?" ”

Yacha said: "Master Cao of Cao's Wine Workshop." ”

Cui Geng sighed, dare to love is the cheap father-in-law Cao Tianjiao.

When he saw that the sky was dark, the twilight was dreary, and it was indeed time for supper. He thought about Cao Yuechan's previous silver number, and he still hadn't given himself a letter, so far, since Lao Cao invited him to dinner, let's go to Cao's house.

Outside the county office, a brand-new carriage was parked at the door.

The carriage wheels and horse sets are newly made, and the horses that pull the carriage are ordinary goods, but they are also quite a bit of a miracle horse, and it seems that this carriage should be newly purchased by the Cao family.

In Qingyuan County, except for the county government to buy a carriage, few families will buy a carriage to travel. One is that it costs a lot of money, and the foal is not easy to raise, and the other is that this thing has to hire a coachman who can drive horses. Qingyuan is such a big place, basically most of the big families use mule carts to travel, or use sedan chairs. Let's just say that Cui Geng is the owner of the winery and the county lieutenant, but he still doesn't have his own exclusive carriage.

Now the Cao family actually added a carriage, which surprised him a little.

At this time, a man in his forties picked up the position of the car board and said, "The little one has seen the county lieutenant, and the lord of my family ordered me to come and pick up the county lieutenant to come and pass the house." ”

Cui Geng looked at the man who was driving the horse, pointed to the carriage, and said, "Your master picked up the money?" Are you willing to spend money to buy a carriage? ”

The groom grinned, shook his head and said, "I'm also new to Cao Mansion, this... Not very clear. However, the old man added a carriage, and he had his own reason for the master. Adults, please get on the bus! ”

Cui Geng hummed and stopped talking, and stepped into the car with his pedals low.

The groom shouted "Lu", flicked the horsewhip and drove the carriage with Cui Geng and slowly left the gate of the county office.

……

……

At this time, in the lobby of Cao's mansion.

Cao Tianjiao sat in the center, and on the left and right sat his daughter Cao Yuechan and son Cao Jie.

Compared with Cao Yuechan's pursed lips and frowning, her face was as pale as autumn water, Cao Jie was much more enthusiastic than his sister, rubbing her palms together, looking at his father Cao Tianjiao with a smile on her face, and asked with a smile on her face: "Dad, I have only been playing in Quanzhou Mansion for less than half a month, why have so many things happened in Qingyuan County?" What do you mean by what you just said that my brother-in-law Cui Geng is not only rich now, but also powerful? ”

Cao Tianjiao smiled and slammed his thigh, and replied, "What's wrong?" Now his Cui's wine shop is making money every day, and Mulan Spring Wine is selling like crazy! This Cui family's ancestral tomb has good feng shui, and all the blessings have been saved together, and Cui Geng, a kid, has become the county lieutenant of our Qingyuan! Jie'er, you said that this kind of thing is like a dream, how did Cui Erlang do it? ”

"Oh my God!"

Cao Jie glanced at the sister sitting opposite him with bright eyes, and shouted: "It's really a god who is hungry and blind, Dad, you helped my sister and the Cui family to marry this family by mistake, but I didn't expect that in the end, you made a lot of money." Qingyuan County Lieutenant, that's a dignified court official with good character and title! My brother-in-law is amazing, Dad, when Cui Erlang comes over in a while, he must be asked to accept this marriage, but don't run away with my brother-in-law! ”

Cao Tianjiao smiled freely, nodded and said: "That's nature, that's nature, this virtuous son-in-law, I can't let him ruin such a marriage contract!" Otherwise, why did your father and I spend so much money to buy a carriage and hire a groom? I didn't even take this new carriage in our family and sent him to pick him up, why is that? Isn't it just to earn enough face in front of Cui Erlang! So that he can also know that our Cao family is also a number of people, you know? ”

"You're both crazy, aren't you?"

At this time, Cao Yuechan couldn't hold back any longer, got up angrily, glared at the two men in the hall, and scolded: "Do you two have me in your eyes?" A brother-in-law, a virtuous son-in-law, when did I agree to this marriage? Do you both think I'm dead? ”

Speaking of this, Cao Yuechan fell on Cao Tianjiao's body again, and her bright eyes were about to burst into flames, and she said angrily: "And you, why do you decide privately when you invite Cui Erlang to come to the mansion for dinner?" Why don't you tell me in advance? ”

"Ahem......"

Lao Cao was questioned repeatedly by his daughter in front of the court, and the old face was a little unbearable, and he said with some displeasure: "Chan'er, how can you talk to your father like this?" Dad is still the head of this family, when will you invite someone to dinner, and you still need your permission? Outrageous! ”

Cao Jie also chimed in: "Yes, sister, my father is the head of the family, you can't talk to your father like this." It's not like words! ”

"Shut up!"

Cao Yuechan glanced at Cao Jie angrily, and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know what the hell you are doing, this family, it's not your turn to make peace." As for whether I can call the shots, you have to ask my father, who has been in the wine shop business all these years? The expenses of the family, as well as the money that you two spent all day and night, who earned it for the two of you! ”

As soon as they talked about silver, the Cao family and the two suddenly lost their temper in front of Cao Yuechan.

Hearing his daughter's count, Cao Tianjiao was even more unconfident, and squeaked: "Chan'er, Dad is also good for you." Now that Cui's winery is thriving, Cui Erlang has become an official again, and he is a county lieutenant, where can you find such a good match? Listen to Dad, for a while, you don't have to say anything, Dad naturally has a way to make Cui Erlang marry you obediently, and the Cao Cui family is good for Yongjie and Qin Jin. In this way, it's good for you and the Cao family, isn't it? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Cao Jie also took the opportunity to interject: "Sister, don't pick and choose, let's not say that our two families have a marriage contract, just say Cui Erlang, you can't find such a husband with a lantern, right?" Besides, you're almost twenty years old, and several young ladies in the same year as you have all held babies, and some have even hugged two babies, you see you're still ...... now."

"Cao Jie, get out of here!"

Cao Yuechan pointed at her younger brother angrily and scolded: "I, Cao Yuechan, can't get married, or what's the matter?" I am in charge of my own marriage, and I don't need you two to get along, let alone a deal! Anyway, it's not negotiable! Otherwise, from now on, you two will want to take a big son from me! ”

"Don't, sister!" As soon as Cao Jie heard Cao Yuechan's real character, she almost knelt down with a sad face. This young master is a leader among the losers of Qingyuan, not to mention that there is no silver to spend in a month, even if you spend money in a day, it is better to live than to die!

As for Cao Tianjiao, at this time, he has a bit of a big face, and it is rare for the tiger to make a face, and said in a deep voice: "It is related to the rise and fall of the Cao family, and you can't tolerate Chan'er's willful behavior!" It's decided, Cui Erlang will come in a while, you be enthusiastic, smile more, don't have a cold face, do you hear! ”

"You ......" Cao Yuechan was speechless, and stood in the hall angrily, not knowing what to do.

However, Cao Jie secretly gave a thumbs up in the direction of his father Cao Tianjiao, and secretly praised it, at a critical time, it was still his father!

……

Here, the father and son of the Cao family were waiting for Cui Geng to arrive in the hall, and Cui Geng was in a carriage before he arrived at Cao's mansion, and was stopped halfway.

Listening to someone shouting from behind, "Cui County Lieutenant don't go", Cui Geng asked the groom to stop the car and looked behind him.

The person chasing and shouting to stop was none other than the officer on duty who had just come to the county magistrate's office to knock on the door.

The officer chased after the carriage and reported breathlessly, "Huh... Report to the county lieutenant, who, then... Qin Liangyou from the post station is back. Yao Shicao chases you back to the county office! ”

When Cui Geng heard this, where could he still sit still?

When he jumped out of the carriage and shouted "go, go back to the county office", he hurriedly ran back.

Seeing this, the horseman thought about the errand that Master Cao gave him, and couldn't help but call to Cui Geng's distant back: "My lord, my master invites you to come over the house for dinner!" ”

"Tell your master, another day!" When the voice arrived, the person was long gone.

……

……

When the horseman pulled the empty car back to Cao's mansion and reported to Cao Tianjiao about Cui Geng's return halfway, Comrade Cao's face was quite ugly.

Cao Jie looked even more anxious, and said hurriedly: "What does my brother-in-law mean?" Yue-in-law's father-in-law invited him to dinner, but he stumbled halfway. Dad, eighty percent of his eyes are without you! ”

Lao Cao replied angrily: "He doesn't have me in his eyes, could it be that he has you as a rabbit cub in his eyes?" Get out, little brute of the loser! ”

In a fit of rage, he left the lobby.

Cao Yuechan was relieved when she heard that Cui Geng was not coming, and for no reason.

However, thinking that Cui Geng is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the day, in business, Cao Yuechan also knows very well that the matter of the silver number must be discussed as soon as possible; If it drags on needlessly, there will be less and less capital to negotiate on your own.
