During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Wangfu was sent to dig the ditch in Yangzhou, Yangzhou is the earliest in the world, and it is also the only "canal city" of the same age as the ancient canal in China, Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty perfected it, the land is unique, the water and land transportation is convenient, and the glory of Yangzhou has been achieved, and soon, Yangzhou has become a treasure place where businessmen from all over the world gather.

As an ancient city with a long history, Yangzhou has many places of interest and historic sites, taking the canal as an example, from the entrance of the Yangtze River, there are Guazhou Gudu, one of the four famous temples of the Tang Dynasty, Gaomin Temple; The ferry port of the Maritime Silk Road, such as Yangzijin, is beautiful today, and the prosperous Yangzijin ferry port has ushered in a group of richly dressed people, these people are all people with heads and faces in Yangzhou, such as Yangzhou Thorn Shi Cui Jingren, Yangzhou Lord Bo Yangxian, Yangzhou Don't Drive Liu Cheng, Mr. Su, the great writer, Chen Squire and a large and small officials, etc., these rare big people, gathered at the ferry, one by one standing at the ferry head to wait, as if waiting for someone, there was also a band on the side, it seemed grand.

The old housekeeper of the Liu Mansion is also among them.

Cui Jingren sat in the long pavilion on the side, while drinking the chilled sour plum soup, while enjoying the two beautiful maids to give him a cool blow, and after he finished tasting, he said to Mr. Su who was a little restrained on the side: "Su Lao, you have a very good relationship with General Liu, I heard that the old housekeeper of Liu's mansion, every New Year's holiday, also gave you gifts, the feelings are not shallow, at this time back to Yangzhou Province, with General Liu's virtue of respecting the teacher, Su Lao is naturally highly valued, when Su Lao was able to find a talent like General Liu in a businessman, it is really a torch." ”

"Lord Assassin Shi smiled" Mr. Su said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Speaking of shame, General Liu can have today, all thanks to his efforts, the old man has not pointed out anything, it is not for the invitation of Lord Assassin Shi, Su Mou does not dare to wait here with a cheeky face." ”

Back then, he wanted to accept Liu Yuan as an apprentice. In the eyes of so many people, this is an opportunity to become a thousand-year-old man, there are very famous talents who want to enter Su Lao's door and have no way to throw stones, and Liu Yuan is just a cheap person, stepping on shit luck, even Su Lao also thinks that he is an exceptional disciple, but Liu Yuan pushed in every possible way, and the matter of apprenticeship after the most reluctance slowly faded until Liu Yuan went out of Yangzhou. Since then, he has risen to the top, but surprisingly, Liu Yuan has risen to prominence, not by virtue of his most valued literary talent, but by martial arts. And he and Liu Yuan got close, because of Mo Yun. Proofreading, writing essays, etc. for it yourself.

I can only sigh. The world is impermanent, and creation makes people.

Cui Jingren said with a smile: "Su Lao said that he laughed first, who in Yangzhou doesn't know that you are rich and rich, and the world is full of peaches and plums, let go of your friendship with General Liu, this time Princess Changle also came to Yangzhou." In order to solemnize the event, in order to reflect my respect for the princess in Yangzhou, the celebrities of the whole city came to this ferry to greet each other. Su Lao, as my great literati in Yangzhou, how can I miss you. ”

"Lord Assassin Shi has won the award, and Su is ashamed."

Everyone carries the sedan chair, which one doesn't like to hear good words? Hearing Cui Renjing's compliment, Mr. Su was modest on the surface, but the smile on his face and the smile in his eyes showed that he was in a very good mood.

The master bookkeeper on the side finally found an opportunity, and said with a smile: "It is reported that Lord Assassin Shi and General Liu's main chamber Liu Cui's family are in-laws, but everything is rumored and has not been verified. ”

Cui Jingren said with a smile: "Hehe, this matter is not a secret, but it doesn't hurt to say it, according to generation, Liu Cui's is Cui's cousin, General Liu, naturally he is his brother-in-law." ”

Yangzhou Don't drive Liu Cheng said with a smile: "It turned out to be a family, Lord Rashi, if you have a chance, you have to say a few good words for Cheng." ”

"Definitely, definitely."

Yangzhou is Shangzhou, the history of the assassin belongs to the third grade, Liu Yuan's official rank, although he is a military attaché, it is only from the fourth grade, a third-grade official, vaguely, there is the meaning of pleasing the fourth grade official, it sounds a little unbelievable, but the people here, no one thinks there is anything wrong, now the Tang Dynasty who does not know, Liu Yuan is a popular man in front of the emperor, in the court of martial arts, the emperor also authorized him not to go to the court, especially when he returned to Yangzhou, not only can he take the royal ship, after the accident, for him, the emperor also dispatched the most elite Xuanjia army under his command, This favor, looking at the world, who is not envious, not to mention that he is the son-in-law of the Qinghe Cui family, and has a father-in-law who is the secretary of the Ministry of Works, so he can take up all the good things.

In addition, Liu Yuan also has another identity, that is the Viscount of Jintian, five hundred households, this is precious, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there are very few knights, after all, every time one more title, the income of the imperial court will be one point less, Liu Yuan is still promoted from a baron to a viscount within two years, which can be said to be extremely rare.

Squire Chen on the side suddenly whispered: "General Liu returned to Yangzhou Province and returned to his hometown, so the Jintian Liu family didn't come alone, so there was no trace of expression?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

Liu Yuan started his career in Yangzhou, but before his career, he was just a junior apprentice who was called five or six by others, not only had no status in the family, but also was not welcomed by the clan, was often bullied in childhood, ate leftovers, slept in the firewood room, and was sent to be an apprentice at a young age, and when he finally got better, he was also tried to make property by his own people, and when he was in trouble, he could not help but lend a helping hand, and made an extremely shameless decision: expelled him from the clan, which is an unhealable psychological wound for anyone, when the emperor was in the fief, just gave Jintian to Liu Yuan, so that the Jintian Liu family became Liu Yuan's Yimin, which is very intriguing.

Like the fiefdom of the original place of origin is very few, coupled with the fact that everyone knows that the tax of Liu Yuan's fief is not reduced by a penny and a half, many people guess that Liu Yuan not only wants to return to his hometown, but also sweep away the shame of the past, and at this time, I really don't know how to answer this question.

Because no one knows what Liu Yuan thinks in his heart, to put it simply, the success or failure of the Liu family in Jintian is all in Liu Yuan's thoughts.

When Cui Jingren heard this, he said with a disdainful face: "These hypocritical people, what do you want to do with him, General Liu and the princess returned to Yangzhou, there are two poor people in Jintian who still want to come to confess their relatives with a thick face, and they are bombarded back by the official, so as not to spoil this celebration." ”

Cui Jing thought about Liu Yuan's entry into the Cui clan of Qinghe, and everyone in the clan knew about it, that is, the patriarch Cui Shang, who also had a supportive attitude, and Cui Xiong also hinted before going to Beijing to take office, without destroying the image of the Cui clan in Qinghe, to win over Liu Yuan, Cui Jingren naturally wanted to create conditions for these.

Mr. Su touched his gray beard, nodded and said: "It's still Lord Thorn Shi who thinks about it thoroughly, there is a princess on this trip, if you say that there is a business trip at this welcome ceremony, where it will be passed to the emperor, it will inevitably affect the emperor's impression of my Yangzhou." ”

If there is crying and fussing at that time, and even beating people, it will really become a joke, and then the emperor will blame him and preach ineffectively, which is not a good thing.

Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "Rather bully the pulsatilla, Mo Qi slug, Jintian Liu's rat is extremely stupid." ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, a strategy can prosper the country, one person can prosper the family, as the saying goes, one person can get the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, the unknown Jintian Liu, originally had a take-off opportunity, but there are eyes that do not know the gold inlaid jade, the eyes of the mouse, and now Liu Yuan has achieved success, and the Jintian Liu family not only can't share half of the glory, but also has to worry all day long, for fear that Liu Yuan will be in a bad mood that day, and find them to clear the old accounts.

Heaven is forgivable, but self-inflicted, you can't live, you deserve it.

Cui Jingren shook his head and said: "Okay, today is a happy day, don't spoil the atmosphere for these snobs, everyone should be tight-lipped, and no one can mention this matter, so as not to cause General Liu's displeasure, if you disturb the princess, it will be even more unbeautiful." ”

Everyone said yes again and again.

Cui Jingren turned his head to the side and said, "Arrest the head"

"The little one is in"

"The princess and General Liu, in Luoshui's Mianshan Temple attack, this matter must not be taken lightly, the vigilance in the city, must not be relaxed, must do a good job of prevention, must not be in the jurisdiction of the official, there must be any unfavorable actions to the princess or General Liu, otherwise, everyone can not bear this responsibility."

The head of the torture arrester turned pale, and hurriedly said: "Lord Assassin, please rest assured, the day before yesterday, the small one knocked on the lawbreakers in the city and spread the eyeliner widely, and all the arresters were dispatched to ensure that the princess was safe and worry-free." ”

Cui Jingren nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, someone said in a loud voice: "Come, come, the princess's boat is coming." (To be continued......)
