Chapter 31 Qinghe Cui Clan

Yang Yuanqing understood Cheng Biting Jin's pain, he remembered that Cheng Biting Jin used to like Pei You very much, but thirteen years have passed, he can still take it to heart?

As soon as he thought about it, Yang Yuanqing understood that Cheng Biting Jin was not an unforgettable old relationship, but Pei You's change made him a little difficult to accept, but wasn't he Yang Yuanqing the same?

However, Pei You, who supports his family with his hands in troubled times, is even more respectable, thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing took out a copy of his name card and handed it to her, "If you have any difficulties, go to the local government, with my post, they will buy it, in addition, you go to recruit a shopkeeper, you are my sister-in-law after all, let people know that my Yang Yuanqing's sister-in-law is actually selling wine, where do you let my face go?" ”

Pei You laughed deliciously, "Bring you out to make a signboard, so that the business of my wine store will be better." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Yang Yuanqing was slightly unhappy in his heart, "You go home to teach your husband and children, otherwise you will move to Taiyuan, Minqiu will naturally support you, if you really want to open a wine shop, go to Taiyuan to open it, you will operate behind the scenes, don't show your face again." ”

Pei You's face also sank, and he said very unhappily: "I didn't ask you, do you want to take care of my affairs?" ”

She snorted, stood up and walked to the third floor, then turned back and instructed the man, "Their wine money will be free, count me as a treat!" ”

She's 'oo Quickly went upstairs, no longer paying attention to Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yuanqing was really depressed in his heart, drank a few more glasses of stuffy wine, got up and said, "Let's go!" ”

He walked downstairs with his hands behind his back, the two soldiers and Pei Qingsong also got up and left, but Cheng Yanjin was in a hurry, drank the remaining half pot of wine, took two more mouthfuls of food, walked a few steps, remembered something, took out a silver ingot of fifty taels, pointed to the third floor, and stuffed it to the guy. "This is for the proprietor of your house, tell her, this is a little bit of my heart."

He rushed to Yang Yuanqing and chased him out, they left the wine shop and walked towards the city, Pei You stood by the window on the third floor, staring at Yang Yuanqing's back, she sighed lowly. How could she have thought of living such a life? It's just that people are in troubled times, and she can't help herself.

"Proprietor!"

The man walked up to Pei You and handed her the silver. "That's what they paid for the drink."

Pei You's eyes lit up, and he took the big silver ingot and checked it, which was as much as fifty taels. She was suddenly overjoyed, worthy of being the king of Chu, and even had such a generous meal.

"Do you know who that tall man is?"

Pei You said proudly to the guy: "Tell you, he is the king of Chu and my brother-in-law." ”

The guy was stunned for a moment, his mouth opened wide, and he said for a while: "The proprietor, since you have such a noble brother-in-law, why are we still so bitter?" ”

"That's right!"

Pei You's eyes rolled. Said to the guy: "The name of this 'Ya Zhai' has long been disliked by the old lady, and it is sour from the bones, from today onwards, our wine shop will be renamed 'Yuanqing Wine Shop', which is loud and atmospheric." ”

"That's a great name, but ......"

The guy was a little worried, "What if I annoy the King of Chu?" ”

Pei You said triumphantly: "I wish he was annoyed." It's better to order us to change our name, so that our liquor store will have a better reputation and business will only be better. ”

The man gave a thumbs up and said, "The proprietor is really smart, so I'll go find someone to write a banner." ”

He turned to leave. Pei You stopped him, "Don't spend that unjust money." I will write the name of the store myself, you go to Daddy Li's shop in the afternoon to make a plaque, he still owes us three hangs of wine money, so let him make a plaque to offset the account, and then buy 20 firecrackers by the way. ”

Pei You took out Yang Yuanqing's name post, which had his autograph on it, which was just right to use this signature as a signboard, and when Yang Yuanqing left, she was going to visit the county government and the county government to bring the business of the government over.

Pei You was spicy and decisive, in the afternoon of the same day, in the sound of firecrackers, the new signboard of "Yuanqing Wine Shop" was hung on the door, and the inscription under the signboard turned out to be Yang Yuanqing, the king of Chu, which attracted countless new and old diners to celebrate, and in the afternoon of this day, the wine shop was full of guests for the first time......

Of course, Yang Yuanqing didn't know that he had become Pei You's business opportunity, and he was still thinking about how to help Pei You, and he couldn't stand by for Minqiu's face.

A quarter of an hour later, they came to Cui's house, Qinghe Cui is also one of the five surnames and seven wangs in the world, and the outstanding children under the door are endless, Xiangguo Cui Junsu is an important figure in Qinghe Cui's family, Cui's old house is not in the city, but in Cuijia Village, Qinghe Township, ten miles away from the city, because of the war and moved into the city.

Among the world's major famous families, the Qinghe Cui clan was most affected by the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, this is because Qinghe County has always been the storm center of the rebellion of the bandits at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Gaojibo is only a few dozen miles away from Qinghe County, in the war that lasted for several years, more than half of the children of the Qinghe Cui family were killed and injured, and the economic foundation was completely destroyed.

In order to preserve the remaining lineage of the family, the Qinghe Cui clan was divided into three, one part was taken to Luoyang by the head of the family, Cui Bosu, the other part followed Cui Junsu to Fengzhou, and the remaining children were led by the third brother Cui Pingsu to stay in Qinghe County.

Among the three Cui clans, the most miserable was Cui Bosu, who went to Luoyang, suffered from the famine in Luoyang, and more than 30 children died of disease and starvation.

The one that stayed in Qinghe County fell into a plate of scattered sand because of Cui Pingsu's death, and the difficulties of life made them have to let go of the Qinggao of the family, and the brothers of each house divided the family property and made their own livelihoods.

After Wang Shichong launched a mutiny in Luoyang, Cui Bosu, who had been appointed as an official, was unwilling to serve Wang Shichong, and led more than 20 Cui children to return to Qinghe County, and at this time, it was Dou Jiande who was in charge of Hebei, paying more attention to people's livelihood, and the economy had recovered, and the most difficult time had passed.

Cui Bosu returned to the Cui family to revive the family, but some of the family's troubles were born from this, what about the property that was divided? If it is reclaimed, it will inevitably cause strong opposition from the left-behind family, but if it is not recovered, the Cui family will be torn apart, and it is unfair to the clansmen of the Luoyang family and the Fengzhou family, who should also have a share, but when dividing the family property, their interests were not considered.

Although Cui Bosu delayed the matter with the war as peace, as the war in Hebei subsided and the economy began to recover rapidly, the contradictions within the Cui family began to become prominent.

Cui Bosu is fifty-two years old, he did a very bad job in Luoyang, he was overshadowed by Lu Chu's party and Wang Shichong's party at the same time, there is only one vacant position, no real power, and more importantly, Luoyang has a narrow jurisdiction, and the prime minister has not yet been busy with the county order, so he really has nothing to do in Luoyang.

Cui Bosu and Yang Yuanqing have a very good personal relationship, he intends to go to Yang Yuanqing, how can the younger brother Cui Junsu already occupy a high position, he will be difficult to get a high position if he goes again, so he has to put his mind back to the family, but the family affairs are even more troublesome.

In the room, Cui Bosu was discussing with several family elders about recovering the family property, and he had already made up his mind that the matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the Qinghe Cui clan would disappear completely.

The general direction has been decided, and now it is only a question of what means to use to take it back in order to minimize the contradictions within the family.

"The head of the family, I suggest that their interests should be properly considered, after all, it has not been easy for them to maintain the property for so many years, they have paid a lot of hard work, they can't just take it away like this, this will cause their strong opposition, I think they should be properly compensated."

One family elder euphemistically put forward his own suggestion, while another elder said angrily: "They have occupied the family property for several years in vain, and it is not bad to ask them to collect the occupation fee, and they have to compensate them, how does this make the children of other families feel?" It is absolutely impossible to compensate for anything. ”

"You went to Luoyang, of course you don't know anything, how many shops in Qinghe County have closed down over the years, and how many shops have become ruins, do you think they are taking advantage? The Yazhai wine shop in Beicheng was supported by Erlang's wife Pei Shi alone, and she had to be busy until midnight every day, and she had to open the door before dawn, in order to buy cheap vegetables, she was a woman and a Taoist family with her children to drive an ox cart for dozens of miles, if she didn't support it, would this wine shop still exist? You don't know anything, you have to take it back when you open your mouth, will the whole family agree? ”

"Do you think it's easy for us in Luoyang? So many people starved to death, and everyone had to go out of the city to chop firewood and grow their own fields and vegetables, isn't it harder than you? ”

"Alright! Don't fight. ”

Cui Bosu interrupted their quarrel helplessly, "In the war period, it is not easy for everyone, but the problem must be solved, and everyone can't let it go?" Only by compromising on this matter can our Cui family have hope of revival, otherwise everyone will consider their own interests, and the Qinghe Cui family will be finished. ”

Everyone in the room was silent, and at this time, there was a sound of rushing footsteps outside the door, and a Cui disciple rushed into the house with a name post, and said breathlessly: "The head of the family...... Fast! His Royal Highness the King of Chu has come down. ”

Cui Bosu: 'Ah! He stood up and stood still for a moment, and then said in a loud voice: "Open the door and greet you!" ”……

In the big men, Yang Yuanqing happened to meet Cui Qi, a disciple of the Cui family he had seen, and in the seventh year of the great cause, Cui Qi came to the house to tell him that the Cui family in Qinghe had suffered a bandit attack.

Cui Qi is the second son of Cui Ping, about 30 years old, thin and elegant, is the leader of the third generation of the Cui family in Qinghe, and was admitted to the imperial examination in the seventh year of the Great Cause, but was not able to become an official due to illness.

He saluted Yang Yuanqing, and smiled at Pei Qingsong: "Speaking of which, I still have a little relationship with the Pei family, and the Neiko Pei family is also the daughter of Wenxi Changfang, but the situation has been chaotic in the past two years, but I want her to show up and open a wine shop to make a living, alas! It's not easy for everyone. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Cheng Yanjin was furious, rushed up and knocked him to the ground with a punch, pointed at him and scolded: "You are a bastard man, what kind of thing is it to rely on women to support you!" ”
