Chapter 181: The background is so hard
The little girl who came out to see Cui Geng after the ceremony was not Lu Xiong himself, but a little maid with a comb in her hair, who looked at her age of thirteen or fourteen years old.
She first looked Cui Geng up and down a few times, and then she was slightly blessed and said, "Little maid Hexiang, meet Cui Yushi." β
Cui Geng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said gently: "The little lady of Hexiang is exempt." I don't know if Old Man Lu sent you here, ......"
"The little maid was not sent by my master." Hexiang covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "I was sent by my young lady to take the exam Cui Yushi." β
Cui Geng was stunned and asked, "Test me?" What to test? β
"My young lady said it......" Hexiang cleared her throat and learned her young lady's speech in style: "That guy comes to the door for the first time, but he has to embarrass him, otherwise he will have to marry this girl." Isn't he famous in Chang'an now? Hexiang, you asked him to write a poem on the spot, if he doesn't write well, don't think about entering this door today! β
Cui Geng: "......"
He couldn't help but secretly wonder, this Lu family and the grandfather are quite funny, the old man is full of running trains and bragging, this little lady of the Lu family, she feels quite good about herself! Girl, do you want to test me before you enter the door? It's as if my brother won't marry you home!
In fact, it is not difficult to compose a poem, there are many famous poems and good words in the absurd dream, and you can pass the test by copying one casually. But the question is, who knows what that young lady looks like? What is the temperament?
Brother didn't agree to this marriage!
What if a little love poem is spread out and people misunderstand? The little brother definitely doesn't take Hou Sizhi's lucky route, and a good reputation still has to be important.
However, if you don't write a poem now, it seems that you won't be able to enter this Lu Mansion.
Pregnant!
Cui Geng decided to write a poem that is completely untouched with love ~ love, not afraid of spreading it to people to misunderstand, but also barely able to pass the customs and enter the Lu Mansion.
Thinking of this, Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "What's so difficult about writing a good poem?" You listen well: Qin, Mingyue, Han, and the Long March have not yet returned. But so that Lu Chengfei will not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain. β
"You ......"
Hexiang follows the little lady of the Lu family every day, and she still understands some appreciation level under the influence of her ears and eyes, although she doesn't understand the great significance of this poem, but she also understands the level of this poem, and sincerely praises it, Cui Yushi really deserves to be Cui Erlang who is full of literary names in Chang'an.
However, the little girl also heard it, this poem is not a love poem, okay? Why does this elm pimple not understand the thoughts of a woman's family so much? The first time the hairy foot son-in-law came to the door, the first time he dedicated a poem to his fiancΓ©e, shouldn't he talk about some ups and downs and express his lovesickness? What's the deal with making a fierce military poem now?
Hexiang couldn't help but stomp her feet with hatred and hatred, and said: "Cui Yushi, why don't you understand the amorous feelings, my young lady doesn't want your kind of poetry!" Tell you, this poem doesn't count, you have to write a new one, otherwise don't think about it today......"
"Hexiang, don't be rude!"
With a low shout, a middle-aged man in silk and satin flashed out of the house, with a white face and an elegant air.
He twisted his ink hair and chuckled: "The old man is occasionally childlike today, and he wants to make a little joke with his virtuous son-in-law." I didn't expect to be discovered by you, I'm really ashamed. β
can stink and shamelessly call himself a virtuous son-in-law, it seems that the person in front of him is the great benefactor who saved Wang Ruiyue that day, Chaozhou Sima Luxiong.
But what he said......
Didn't Little Lady Lu send a maid to invite a poem to test herself? How did he play a little joke on me?
Cui Geng couldn't help but be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by this......"
"You're still pretending!" Lu Xiong pointed to the wall and said, "If the virtuous son-in-law hadn't found out that the old man was eavesdropping outside, why did he make a military poem to please the old man?" Haha, but you made a mistake this time, although Chaozhou Sima is a military attachΓ©, but the old man is a useless old scholar! β
Cui Geng: "......"
Damn, I'm not okay, okay? It's a lot of thinking!
Lu Xiong paused, stretched out his hand and asked: "This is not a place to speak, nor is it a way to entertain, virtuous son-in-law, please inside." β
Hexiang said anxiously: "Master, how can this be done?" He hasn't done a good job yet, so what kind of flying general Huma or something, how can the maid show it to the young lady? β
"Why not?" Lu Xiong waved his hand and said, "You can show Lihua the poem written by Erlang." What happened to this poem? Only if you want to be literate can you have literary talent, and you must have momentum. Today, Erlang made this famous poem to give Lihua, maybe in the future, this poem will be passed down through the ages, and Lihua can still get a great talk. β
"Oh......" Hexiang didn't dare to continue to be stubborn and returned to the chagrin.
Lu Xiong led Cui Geng to the living room and sat down as guests.
Along the way, Lu Xiong said that the virtuous son-in-law was long and the virtuous son-in-law was short, and the people in the house called the old man and the old man, which really made Cui Geng's heart tremble.
He thought about it, everyone was so rich, he couldn't let Lu Xionghu come, he didn't express his position, and finally confirmed his relationship with the Lu family's son-in-law, right?
After sitting down, he quickly explained: "Lu Sima, although this marriage has Liu County's order as a matchmaker, but we only officially met today, isn't it too hasty?" β
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, the old man is very satisfied with you, this marriage is done. I have also heard about the situation of your family, both parents died, and there is only one second mother in the family. So, on the man's side, you can call the shots yourself, so what's the problem? β
After a pause, Lu Xiong continued: "Didn't you come today? Let's discuss and discuss, see which day the marriage will be done, and also settle a matter of the old man's heart. β
I'm rubbing, this is to drive ducks to the shelves, it's in a hurry!
But he really has a request for Lu Xiong now, and he can't refuse it sternly no matter what, otherwise where will he put the face of the Lu family?
Since he couldn't refuse for the time being, he could only delay first, and then he quickly changed the topic and said: "Actually, the younger generation came today because there is something to ask your old man, I don't know if you can do it." β
Lu Xiong sighed and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Immediately, Cui Geng briefly told about his grievances with Hou Sizhi, as well as Hou Sizhi's desire to protect himself and forcibly marry Wang Ruiyue. In the end, he focused on himself, the current dilemma: listening to Hou Sizhi's words to help the abuse, it is equivalent to being an enemy of the world. didn't listen to Hou Sizhi's words, and was afraid that he would fabricate accusations.
Who knew that after Lu Xiong listened, he didn't care at all, but pouted slightly: "What should the old man do?" Isn't it just a mediocre slave in the alley? He dared to forcibly marry the daughter of five surnames and seven hopes, he was simply impatient. Erlang rest assured, this matter is wrapped up in the old man's body! β
Although there have been speculations for a long time, but now that the matter is approaching, Cui Geng still has doubts about the ability of Lu Xiong and the state capital Sima, and said: "You have to think about it, that is Hou Sizhi, the sixth rank of the imperial history." How many officials in Chang'an who are above the third grade have been exterminated by him, and you are a Chaozhou Sima ......"
Lu Xiong was slightly stunned and interrupted: "Chaozhou Sima? What is the matter with Sima in Chaozhou? Erlang, haven't you heard Liu County Ling talk about the real heel of this official? β
Cui Geng shook his head, looking confused, and said, "What heel?" Liu County's tone is very tight, and he really doesn't know it. β
"That's good, and listen to the official tell you carefully. Hehe, it's not that the old man is boasting, Erlang, you married the old man's daughter, which can be regarded as making a lot of money. β
In fact, this Lu Xiong's life experience is really nothing extraordinary, he is an ordinary scholar in Chaozhou.
However, pie fell from the sky, and he married a good daughter-in-law named Shangguan Yun'er.
It all started more than 20 years ago.
At that time, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had a little conflict, so they wanted to abolish her queenship, so they discussed with a prime minister named Shangguanyi.
Shangguan Yi said that the queen is not a thing, Your Majesty, you should do it.
Li Zhi was very happy to hear this, so he asked Shangguan Yi to draft the abolished edict.
However, it didn't take long for Wu Zetian to say soft words and be coquettish, and Li Zhi felt that this wife was not bad, so he changed his mind.
However, the news of the abolition has reached Wu Zetian's ears, because this matter has affected the relationship between husband and wife.
So, Li Zhi sold Shangguan Yi, saying that this was all done by the old man Shangguan who asked me to do it, and if you want to blame him, blame him.
As a result, a month later, Wu Zetian instructed someone to frame Shangguan Yi for rebellion. All the men of the Shangguan family were beheaded, and all the female dependents were confiscated into the palace.
Among the female dependents who did not enter the palace was Shangguan Yi's granddaughter, Shangguan Wan'er.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er was still in infancy, and no one took her seriously. But as she grew older, she showed outstanding literary talent and ability.
Wu Zetian took a very fancy to her and cultivated her, and when she was fourteen years old, he put her in charge of the palace edict.
After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he even began to let her be in charge of sorting and writing edicts, which was simply Wu Zetian's intimate little secretary.
The secretary of the supreme leader, who dares to underestimate it? It's that Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi have to be polite to her.
There are also many people who have hollowed out their minds and want to go through the door of Shangguan Wan'er so that they can be promoted and make a fortune.
Even if she doesn't say good things for herself in front of Wu Zetian, with a little hint, someone will rush to do it.
Shangguan Wan'er's parents died, she had no brothers and sisters, and she hid in the palace all day long, how could this be a problem? No matter how many people racked their brains, they couldn't get in.
This matter is difficult for others, but it is difficult for Liu Youqiu.
Their Liu family and Shangguan family are world friends. Thinking about Shangguan Yi's stall at the beginning, although the Liu family couldn't help much, they did a small favor - Shangguan Yi's son is called Shangguan Tingzhi, and it is Shangguan Wan'er's father! Shangguan Tingzhi had an outer room before and gave birth to a daughter for him, a few years earlier than Shangguan Wan'er, and this daughter was Shangguan Yun'er.
The Liu family tried their best to make up and down points, hid Shangguan Yun'er and sent it to Chaozhou, Lingnan for temporary refuge, which can be regarded as leaving a little blood for the Shangguan family.
Later, Shangguan Yun'er grew up~ and married Lu Xiong.
In other words, Lu Xiong's wife, Shangguan Yun'er, is the sister of Shangguan Wan'er, who is now dominating the court, a half-sister!
The affairs of the previous generation are the affairs of the previous generation, but in fact, when it comes to Liu Youqiu's generation, the two sides have no contact.
The poor in the downtown no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.
After hearing about Shangguan Wan'er, Liu Youqiu's heart became alive again, and he wanted to get in touch with Shangguan Yun'er again.
But at this time, Shangguan Yun'er was already dead, leaving only a daughter, Lu Lihua.
Now, Lu Xiong's daughter Lu Lihua is Shangguan Wan'er's only relative in the world.
So, Liu Youqiu got in touch with Shangguan Wan'er and asked Lu Xiong to be the Sima of Chaozhou.
On the other side, in order to deepen the connection between the two sides, he started Cui Geng's idea and wanted to marry Lu Lihua to him.
Although the Chaozhou officials don't know Lu Xiong's true identity, but he suddenly became a Chaozhou Sima from a white body, how hard is the backstage? Therefore, he received an empty salary in Chaozhou, and no one dared to care if he didn't go to work all day.
After listening to the cause and effect, Cui Geng couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
Shangguan Wan'er is a famous and famous figure both at the moment and in the history of absurd dreams, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is a standard combination of beauty and talent.
As her niece, Lu Lihua, in terms of appearance, basically doesn't have to worry too much.
Now with the help of Shangguan Wan'er's power, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with Hou Sizhi, and he can even hug Shangguan Wan'er's Jin Dada's thighs!
However, if he agreed to this marriage, he completely stood in the trenches of Zhuwu.
Because twenty years later, Shangguan Wan'er was killed by the rebellious army, and Zhuwu was liquidated by the Li Tang clan, will you be able to have your own good fruits to eat at that time?
It's a little tangled......
Now should I temporarily use Shangguan Wan'er's golden thighs to pass the current level?
Still is... Or do you want to find another way?
