After arranging a bunch of fine work, Liu Yuan went to enjoy his breakfast.

Now that the door has been opened, but the bell for the opening of the market has not yet sounded, and it is not yet open for business, Dai Qisi is naturally very free to wait for her master.

"Young master, you have to eat a little more, I see that you have lost weight recently." Daisy said a little distressed.

Liu Yuan has been busy lately, eating and drinking irregularly, it is inevitable to lose a little weight, in fact, not only Liu Yuan, but also the Jinyu family, but also busy, mainly because the New Year is approaching, the people who have worked hard for a year will rarely buy some things generously for the New Year, add some festivity, Jinyu family quality and innovation, in Chang'an has also made a lot of fame, in general, the business is still booming, but there is still a little less manpower, so the top and bottom must work together.

In addition to the Jinyu family, the business of the Moyun study is also booming, although the study is closed, but after the cooperation of the Jinghua study, it is only responsible for printing, there are more channels, profits do not fall but rise, there is a connection of interests, Liu Yuan and several princesses The relationship is also much closer, just two days ago, Li Lizhi and the two royal sisters specially patronized the Jinyu family, and picked two pieces of jewelry on the spot, which is not an ordinary face for the Jinyu family.

It can be regarded as adding a little more goodwill to the cooperation between Moyun Study and Jinghua Study.

Liu Yuan took the cup of deer milk, took a sip of it, and then sighed: "I can't do it, it's not for money, but it's okay, when everything is on track, I will be much easier." ”

"Young master, look, it's snowing outside the window again, it's really cold, you hurry up and drink porridge, or it's all cold." Dai Qisi carefully admonished.

"Very well, Digis, go and get the carriage ready. I'm going to take a trip to Cui's Mansion in a moment. ”

Dai Qisi smiled and said, "Young Master, are you going to see Miss Cui?" ”

"Yes and no."

That Cui Mengyao has not been looking for Xiaoniang to play with Du Sanniang recently, Liu Yuan estimated that the old lady of the Cui family was here, and she wanted to accompany her at home, but she couldn't come out, she hadn't visited Cui's mansion for some days, and it just so happened that Cui Cairen's piece of jade and jewelry were ready, and for no reason, she couldn't enter the palace. Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, Liu Yuan is ready to let Cui Jing's old boy find a way to send him into the palace by himself, anyway, he is a scholar, and it is a hundred thousand times easier to enter and exit the palace than a small lieutenant of his own.

Dai Qisi didn't ask inquire, and answered. She turned and walked out, just as she wanted to walk out the door. Suddenly rushed into a guy. Said anxiously:

"Young master, young master, someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

"It's me, aunt." An old man walked in outside the door, and he was really an old acquaintance, Cui Jing's official family. Cui Ah Fu of Cui Mansion.

Liu Yuan asked curiously, "Third housekeeper, why are you here?" Is there something wrong? ”

"There is indeed something" Cui Afu said with a smile: "Auntie, hurry, follow me." The lord is looking for you. ”

Cui Afu called Cui Shang the eldest master, called Cui Jing the master, and now said that the master is looking for himself, that is, Cui Jing's old boy is looking for himself.

Suddenly, Liu Yuan was excited in his heart, and a sense of happiness surged from the bottom of his heart: Could it be Mrs. Cui They came from Qinghe, and now that there are all the people, will they specially discuss their marriage with Cui Mengyao, after all, the two sides have exchanged Geng posts, and there is no problem with men and women, when I went to Cui Mengyao last time to take the palace silk, Cui Mengyao's shy daughter's family gestured, and Chun'er said that she would marry Cui Mengyao as soon as possible, and the personal maids all said such things, it is obvious that Cui Mengyao also has intentions.

King Xiang has a heart, and the goddess also has a dream.

This is not that Liu Yuan is anxious, but there is a very serious problem, Cui Mengyao can't go to the door for a day, and he can't give the name of Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang for a day, Tang Dynasty women are precocious, and they are married at the age of twelve or thirteen abound, as if they can't marry if they marry later, and no one wants it, after the New Year, Liu Yuan is fifteen years old, and Xiaoniang, who is three months younger, is also fifteen years old, and Du Sanniang, who debuted earlier, is already sixteen years old, precocious, and is so anxious that she can't do it in the morning.

Not to mention anything else, that is, he didn't give a name for a day, he closed the door at night, the two women slept in the same bed, Liu Yuan couldn't pay any good words outside the door, he just couldn't get in, seeing that the beauty was current, he couldn't cross the thunder pool by half a step, Liu Yuan didn't mention how uncomfortable it was, but he couldn't bear to be the second daughter, he wanted to cry without tears, and he repeatedly failed to push down the plan

Well, now it's time for a showdown with Cui Jing's old boy.

Liu Yuan was agitated, stopped eating the porridge, and pushed the porridge bowl: "Let's go, let's go now." ”

"Young master, finish the porridge first, right?" Dai Qisi said anxiously.

"Don't eat it, you can eat it, don't waste it." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he didn't need Dai Qisi to wait, put on his leather coat, and then carefully picked up the box containing Cui Cairen's jewelry and held it under his armpit, and followed Cui Afu out.

As soon as Cao Cao was really said, Cao Cao arrived, and he was just about to go to Cui's Mansion after breakfast, but he didn't expect them to send a carriage to pick him up, coincidentally!

"The son-in-law has seen his father-in-law and Uncle Cui." Half an hour later, Liu Yuan saw Cui Jing in the study of Cui's mansion, and she was surprised that Cui Shang was also in the study.

"Hmm" Cui Jing responded lightly, but Cui Shang was very enthusiastic about Liu Yuan, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyuan, they are all their own people, sit down." ”

Liu Yuan answered, and sat down politely.

Although Liu Yuan borrowed a lot of Cui's momentum, he has been reciprocating, sitting in the position of Zhengshangshu for Cui Shang, sharing the proceeds of the lottery with it, and helping Cui Cairen in the palace to repair the jewelry of great significance, these are great rewards, Liu Yuan does not feel that he owes Cui's a lot, so just give enough respect, there is no need to be a man with his tail.

A manly man, although he sometimes has to be able to bend and stretch, it is also necessary to stand tall and be a man, which is an important reason why Liu Yuan does not want the Cui family's dowry, and this is also the capital to be able to hold his head up and hold his chest high at this moment.

Cui Jing's eyes were slightly displeased, but Cui Shang's eyes lit up.

"I don't know what my father-in-law has to call my son-in-law urgently?" Liu Yuan asked straight to the point.

This kind of straightforward remark made Cui Jing even more unhappy, so he picked up the shelf of the elders and said:

"Filial piety comes first, look at you, it's just a matter of less greetings on weekdays, and it's about to be the New Year. I don't know how to move around more, let alone what to say, how many days have I not come, is it that the old man doesn't send a carriage to pick it up, so please don't move you? Look at you, what you look like, tired, unskilled, walking like a woman, a young man. You should focus on your career, don't be greedy for the joy of bed, lest you achieve nothing, hum. ”

There are still a few days to go before the New Year, that is, relatives and friends have sent New Year's gifts. But his son-in-law didn't move at all, and Cui Jing was not very happy in his heart. Cui's family has a big business. I don't care about Liu Yuan's three melons and two dates, but this is a rule, isn't it, what does this mean?

Besides, the worship hall is not successful, it is due to the holy decree factor, but now that the matter is over, I haven't seen Liu Yuan come over to discuss it for so long. It seems that he doesn't care about this matter at all, and he is not anxious at all, Cui Jing doesn't say anything, his heart is on fire early in the morning, and it is the same thing for him to disagree. And Liu Yuan's attitude is another matter, now seeing Liu Yuan's eyes black and his strength weak, as if he was overindulgent, Cui Jing's heart was immediately unhappy.

What does this mean, there are a few stunning colors around you, and you don't know how long it will be when you are happy every day? His poor daughter was still alone in the empty room, and his subordinates had secretly reported to him that Cui Mengyao looked at the wedding dress in a daze several times, and from time to time she also showed the appearance of her shy little daughter, and now seeing Liu Yuan so happy, it is strange to be happy.

When Liu Yuan heard this, he felt extremely aggrieved in his heart, and he was so wronged that he was about to fly frost in June, before going to Tibet, Li Er was not allowed to go out of Beijing, and the marriage was impossible to mention, and Cui Mengyao did not enter the door, and he couldn't give Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang a name, and he couldn't give a name, and the two girls couldn't live or die Liu Yuan pushed down, and really responded to that sentence, a monk picked up water to drink, two monks carried water to drink, and three monks had no water to drink. It's not good not to start.

Indulgence? Left or right?

Hmph, this old boy is said to be the third child of the Cui family, but there are more gray hairs on his head than the eldest Cui Shang, I don't know which one?

Liu Yuan didn't speak, silently took out a box, gently pushed it in front of Cui Jing, and whispered: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has been busy with this thing day and night these days. ”

Sometimes, actions are more effective than justification.

Cui Jing will suspiciously open the box, suddenly his eyes lit up, in the box, there is a hairpin, a piece of superb jade as a bright full moon, and surrounded by blooming flowers, the jade is transparent, the flowers are lifelike, using the latest popular gold inlaid jade technique, the perfect expression of a piece of jewelry.

"Xiaoyuan, such beautiful jewelry, is it for Meng Yao?" Cui Shang said with a smile.

"No" Liu Yuan replied honestly, as soon as these words came out, Cui Jing, who had just been a little happy on his face, had a face elongated again.

Liu Yuan explained: "This is Cui Cairen in the palace, and Aunt Meng Yao asked me to do it, I guess you also know, she has a piece of broken superb jade, and she wants to rebuild it with broken jade, so she asked me to find a way for her, and after getting it, I can't shirk it, so I have to think hard, and it took countless efforts to repair it, and by the way, I made this jewelry, but my official rank is too small to enter the palace, so I want to ask my father-in-law to send Cui Cairen into the palace." ”

"What? The jade, you repaired it? Cui Jing stood up in shock.

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Sort of, the piece of jade on the piece of jewelry in your hand is the broken jade of Cui Cairen, which I put together, father-in-law, how do you see how you fight?" ”

Cui Jing hurriedly took it to his eyes to take a closer look, and gently stroked it with his hand in disbelief, and found that it was smooth and neat, without any flaws, and he couldn't see that this jade had been broken, and Cui Shang, who was sitting next to him, also poked his head over to observe the piece of jade, just by looking at it, Cui Shang recognized that it was the piece in his sister's hand, and couldn't help but say in surprise:

"That's right, it's this jade, it was given to Xiaoyu by the emperor, that's right, it's strange, isn't this jade broken? Yumei also asked me to find a lot of skilled craftsmen who didn't repair it, but now it's repaired, this, is this true? ”

"Ah" Cui Jing said in surprise as if he had discovered a new continent: "Big brother, look, there seems to be a [Fu] character in this jade, it's amazing, right?" ”

Seeing Cui Jing's old boy shouting like a dirt bun entering the city, Liu Yuan was on the side, and a proud smile appeared on his face. (To be continued.) )
