Chapter 1214 When will the reaction be abnormal

"Minister Cui right, knock to see the lord!"

Cui You, who looked gray-haired, was as excited as an old man, rushing out of the courtyard tremblingly, and before he went out, he fell directly to the ground and kowtowed. He didn't even look up, his forehead against the hard bluestone pavement, his shoulders shaking violently.

"How can the minister be virtuous, he can actually work for the lord's relatives to visit."

He was on his knees, his hands on the ground, his head pressed very low.

The people watching around immediately let out a burst of exclamation.

Fang Xie hurriedly went over and helped Cui You up with both hands: "When I went to Chang'an from Fan Gu, if I hadn't been taken care of by you halfway, I wouldn't have achieved what I am today." Brother Ziheng and I are very grateful every time we talk about that time. ”

"The minister is terrified."

Cui You's face looked flushed, and his excited lips were trembling: "The minister was just a gesture back then, but he made the lord so grateful, and the minister didn't dare to be ashamed." The minister knew that the lord valued love and righteousness, so he repeatedly warned him not to be proud and complacent with his old feelings, and to be trusted by the lord and entrusted with important tasks, and he should repay him with his life. ”

Fang Xie helped him and walked into the courtyard: "Zhongzhen is a few years older than me, according to reason, I want to call him a brother, and you are naturally my elder, it is reasonable to call you an uncle." ”

"How dare you."

Cui You held Fang Jie's hand tightly, and it turned out to be old tears: "The minister originally wanted to retire in Longyou, but Ziheng was filial and sent someone to pick me up from the northwest, saying that he wanted the minister to enjoy his old age in Chang'an." The minister only entered Beijing once in the first year of Tianyou, and never came to Chang'an again. To have such a pleasure today is all blessed by the Lord. ”

Seeing his sincere expression, how can he not be moved?

"Uncle Yan zhòng."

Fang Xie said with a smile: "When I left Fan Gu that day, I was just a pawn in the army, and my uncle did not give up, so that Ziheng and I were friends." At that time, I thought that if I could achieve something in the future, I would never fail your father and son. ”

The two men talked as they walked, arm-in-arm.

After entering the living room, Cui Zhongzhen hurriedly asked people to serve tea: "The minister heard that the lord has been working in the Taiji Hall for the past few days, and he has to make a special trip to visit his father after working so hard, and the minister is very grateful." ”

"Don't be so polite, you and I still need to say this?"

Fang Xie helped Cui You sit down, and then sat down with a smile: "Although there are more things, I just came back from Dongjiang and everything was not straightened out, so I have been really busy these days." On the first day of returning to Beijing, I knew that my uncle was coming, and I should have come to visit immediately. It's just that I am entangled in those trivial things, and I can't be empty. ”

"State affairs are important, state affairs are important."

Cui You hurriedly said next to him.

Fang Xie looked left and right and said, "This house was chosen at random when I first entered Beijing, and now that my uncle has arrived, I naturally can't live here anymore." When I went back, I asked people to choose a good place in the city, and let the household allocate money to build a new house. ”

"The minister doesn't dare to take it."

Cui Zhongzhen hurriedly stood up and leaned over and said: "The country will be safe, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and the treasury is not abundant, how can you allocate funds to build residences for ministers?" The minister could not accept it. ”

"Then from my own account."

Fang explained: "Over the years, if it weren't for the help of a few of you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I've always been a person who doesn't help my relatives, if those guys in Yushitai say anything nonsense, just let Chen Xiaoru send someone to check their details. Most of those pretentious imperial histories are really clean. ”

"Uncle, did you bring everyone to the family this time?"

Fang asked.

Cui You nodded hurriedly: "There is no one at home, I asked them when I entered Beijing, and those who were willing to follow followed, and those who were unwilling to follow were sent a sum of money and dismissed." ”

Fang Xie turned around and instructed Chen Xiaoru who came with him: "Ask how many people have come in a while, and each person will seal a red envelope of one hundred taels of silver, although the silver is not much, even if it is a little gift from me." Recently, the war has just ended, and there is indeed a shortage in hand. It is the silver that has been passed through the world, and now it is not in circulation. ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Cui You and Cui Zhongzhen bowed their heads at the same time.

"Originally, Xiang Qingniu was going to come together, but at the beginning, a few of us went all the way from the northwest to Chang'an, and we were companions on the road, and our lives were very happy."

Fang Xie smiled: "But recently, he was busy preparing for the big wedding, so I didn't call him." ”

"I heard that when my uncle entered Beijing, there were only three carriages, and only one of the three carriages was loaded with some daily necessities. I didn't expect my uncle to be so poor, and I didn't feel good. So I'm going to let people make some more profitable deals from the world, and count you as some dividends. Don't publicize it...... After all, people are terrible. ”

Cui Zhongzhen hurriedly thanked him again, and looked at his father with puzzled eyes from time to time. It's Cui You, who doesn't look out of the ordinary. It's just that inadvertently, something intriguing in his eyes flashed away.

……

……

Fang Xie ate it at Cui Zhongzhen's house for dinner, and didn't let them be extravagant, just simply copied a few dishes, and then went to Liu Ji's shop on East Sixteenth Street to buy almost aged wine. Originally, this Liu Ji shop was not famous in Chang'an City, who would have thought that in the past few years, the war has been chaotic and the business has not been good, and the wine in his cellar is enough. Now that Chang'an City has returned to peace, the business of his shop is becoming more and more prosperous.

"To be honest, the original minister never imagined that Ziheng would be able to follow the lord to achieve today's achievements. At that time, the minister felt that he was not an official material, so he planned to let him go to the martial arts academy to study, and it would be good if he could join the army. Who would have thought that he would be kicked out by someone who did such a dirty thing without being angry. Later, the minister poured out his family property, which found a way out for him in the Northwest Army. Counting it, it has been seven or eight years. ”

Cui You said with emotion: "Actually, the minister's age is not very old, but he has been frightened over the years, and he is worried about the instability of the country, so he has gray hair early." ”

"It'll be fine later."

Fang Xie glanced at it casually, pretending not to see Cui You's hand retracted into the cuff. The wrench on his hand is absolutely extraordinary. Presumably I was in too much of a hurry when I went out, and I forgot to pick it. But a gentleman on the ground has a valuable gadget in his hand and is nothing. Cui You covered it up like this, but fell behind.

When Cui's right hand was stretched out again, the wrench was gone.

"Life is hard, you should write a letter to Brother Ziheng. I didn't give him any less. ”

Fang Xie deliberately made a joke.

"How can you bother him with everything?"

Cui Youdao: "He serves in the main army, so he naturally has to do things wholeheartedly." Once you are distracted by family affairs, you may delay the lord's major affairs. Although the minister's life is cold, it is still better than ordinary people. Originally, there was a lot of land, and although the real estate in the northwest did not have much grain, it was still quite rich. However, after Li Yuanshan's rebellion, all the people under the ministers ran away, who was willing to farm? ”

"At first the father adopted the son, and later the son adopted the father."

Fang Xie said solemnly: "Fathers fight to love their children, isn't it for children to fight for filial piety to their elders?" If people don't have filial piety, they can't do great things, and they can't do great things. ”

"The Lord is wise."

Cui You casually praised it.

Fang Xie personally poured a glass of wine for Cui You, and Cui You got up and held the wine glass in both hands to thank him. Fang Xie glanced at it casually and found that Cui You's hand was very white, not at all like the hands of an old dragon clock. And this person's palm is very thick, there is no callus at all, but the lines in the palm are very heavy. Ordinary people judged that this must be someone who had never done a good job, but Fang Xie knew that it was the hand of a cultivator.

Fang Xie didn't test Cui You's cultivation, he just pretended not to care about anything.

"The minister can't drink more, the body and bones are getting worse day by day over the years, and if you drink a little more, you will cough up blood."

Hearing Cui You's words, Fang Jie's heart moved slightly. So he followed Cui You's words and said: "How can it be done, I will send someone to find a few more clever Langzhong, and then find the imperial doctor in the palace to treat you together." ”

"No, no, this is an old problem."

Cui right excused himself.

Fang Xie turned his head and instructed Chen Xiaoru: "Write down this matter, and send someone to do it when you turn around." ”

Chen Xiaoru answered beside him.

"Uncle, you haven't had a good walk in Chang'an this time, have you? Although there is no scenery in Chang'an City, it can make people open up after walking for a long time. In a few days, let Brother Ziheng have a good rest for a while, and take you around Chang'an City. Recently, I have to straighten out military affairs, and I am afraid that I will not have time. ”

"Oh?"

Cui You sighed and hurriedly said: "Military affairs are important." ”

Cui Zhongzhen asked: "The lord wants to rectify military affairs?" ”

Fang Xie nodded, sighed slightly, and said, "The men and horses brought back from Dongjiang this time include at least 50,000 recruits. These soldiers are all from the green forest road in eastern Xinjiang and don't know any rules. So to reorganize, I'm going to go back and see where I'm going to transfer some people and bring these soldiers with me. In addition, there are tens of thousands of recruits on the side of the Suzaku Mountain battalion that can be used, and they must also be arranged and then assigned to the local area for maintenance. ”

Cui Zhongzhen said: "The minister is willing to share the worries of the Lord." ”

"Let's talk about it."

Fang Xie didn't respond, looked at the sky and got up and said, "Today's gathering also has a matter on my mind." There are still a lot of things in the court that have not been dealt with, and I have to go back in a hurry. ”

Cui You and Cui Zhongzhen hurriedly got up to see them off.

……

……

Fang untied the gate of Cui's Mansion and got into the carriage.

Chen Xiaoru personally drove the car.

"Do you see something wrong?"

Fang asked.

Chen Xiaoru thought for a while and replied: "The minister didn't notice anything wrong at first, but he felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal. When the lord was in the middle of the banquet, the minister carefully thought about what was abnormal. After leaving the gate, the minister suddenly ...... General Cui is too reserved today. ”

Fang Xie smiled, noncommittal.

Chen Xiaoru continued: "According to reason, there are no outsiders today, General Cui and the lord are confidants and friends, and they should be more relaxed in their own homes." However, General Cui looked a little nervous, far more respectful and polite than usual. It's not normal, it's definitely not normal. ”

"When will there be such a reaction?"

Fang Xie asked again.

Chen Xiaoru smiled: "When you say bad things about others...... For example, when Yan Mad and I were talking bad about Nie Xiaoju, we suddenly found that Nie Xiaoju was coming...... We will be very unnatural, we will be more polite than before, and we will say some things of concern that we can't say on a daily basis. ”

Fang Xie laughed: "You often say bad things about Nie Xiaoju behind your back? ”

Chen Xiaoru smiled wryly: "It's not a bad word...... Just to taste his needlework...... Later, after Yan Mad was beaten by Nie Xiaoju, he didn't dare to talk to me......"
