Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1037 Gui Ning
I don't know when the wind will blow up, and a few drops of rain will fall with the wind. Gradually, the wind will become stronger and the raindrops will become denser.

There was a simple carriage parked at the gate of Cui Mansion. It was not too small, but it was not too big either. It had neither gorgeous decorations nor family imprints, but the two horses were extremely eye-catching. The tall horse, turning its head and flicking its tail from time to time, throwing raindrops away with its long hair, is quite a steed.

This is as it should be. Sun Moon Lake has gathered a large number of good horses after passing through Xia City two years ago. Although Ma Yin has been brought back to Chaozhong Taipu Temple, it is actually run by several officials in Princess Pingyang's mansion. .

Cui Xin had already asked for leave to go back home, originally he wanted to wait in the main hall, but when he thought about his daughter entering the palace to see him, and saw that the rain was getting heavier, he couldn't hold back and went to the door with an umbrella.

Before reaching the door, Cui Xin felt a little surprised. After a few steps, there was no movement in the carriage. There were ten guards at the front and back. Although they were not armed, they stood still in the wind and rain, exuding awe boldness.

Cui Lun, the second son of the Cui family, came out to welcome the guests. He was shocked by this extremely oppressive spirit, and barely kept calm, but he didn't dare to speak.

Cui Xin glared at his son, coughed twice, and then there was a sound in the carriage. Li Shan, who was thinking all the way, came back to his senses, opened the curtain of the car and got out of the car first, took the umbrella handed over by the porter, and put his foot down again. After the stool was put away, Cui Shiniang got out of the carriage holding an umbrella to protect her.

Seeing this scene, Cui Xin was a little relieved and a little bit disappointed. Her daughter picked a caring husband, but she no longer needed her father.

"Meet my father-in-law."

"Meet my father."

Cui Xin nodded, "Let's talk first."

There will not be too much to say today. Li Shan greeted Cui Lun, still holding an umbrella to protect Cui Shiniang, and arrived at the main hall... Seeing this scene, Mrs. Zhang smiled, and let the cook The room boiled some ginger soup, and asked the maid to fetch the clothes for Li Shan to change into. At the same time, she casually complained to her daughter that such a big person can't even hold an umbrella?

Hey, when the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, she likes it more and more.

Cui Shiniang was a little surprised after the exchange of ceremonies, "Cousin didn't come?"

Zhang Wenguan did not participate in the family recognition at Sun Moon Lake the day before yesterday, because he was Cui Shiniang's first cousin, but he was not here today, which was a bit unexpected in terms of his relationship with Li Shan.

"Hmm." Cui Xin's eyes flickered a little, "Your uncle was quite displeased when he didn't pass Mingjing, so he ordered him to study hard in closed doors."

"Study hard for two years, and if you stay the next year, you will definitely be admitted to the university." Li Shan gave his wife an affirmative look, yes, Zhang Wenguan didn't know the inside story.

Mrs. Zhang changed the topic, "I didn't expect to enter the palace to have an audience, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty bestows the title of concubine, and the mother also canonizes the title of concubine."

Li Shan explained something, which aroused Cui Lun's envy, and he blurted out, "Your Majesty really trusts my sister-in-law."

Under normal circumstances, aristocratic families have a respectful but wary attitude towards imperial power, but this is an overall attitude. When it comes to individuals, how many people can refuse high-ranking officials and generous salaries?

Cui Lun, who is unlikely to be an official, cannot inherit the title, and has little talent, is naturally very envious.

Li Shan and Cui Shiniang looked at each other first, then at Cui Xin, nodded and said in an ethereal tone: "Confidence matters, conviction matters."

Cui Xin took a deep breath, "It's almost noon, let's have dinner first, Dalang and Erlang will accompany Huairen, and Eleven Niang will go to the backyard."

Mrs. Zhang just didn't bother to pay attention to the two guys who wanted to cling to Li Shan and become an official, so she left with her arms around Cui Shiniang, with a lot of questions in her heart that she had to ask carefully.

After eating some food casually, Mrs. Zhang waved her hand to let the maid back, and took her daughter to sit on the couch, and said in a low voice, "I heard that when you got off the car, I personally helped you up, but I know it hurts."

Cui Shiniang blushed, and said a few words in a low voice, Zhang Shi was more satisfied, and asked a few more words in a lower voice, this time Cui Shiniang replied in a softer voice, and Zhang Shi stuck her ear close It took a while to hear clearly.

It is said that Li Huairen is like Marquis Wu, but unexpectedly he is a fierce general... Mrs. Zhang clicked his tongue twice, yes, Zhuge Liang has always been sitting firmly in the tent of the Chinese army, but Li Huairen once charged into the battle with his spear.

After all, Mrs. Zhu lived in the Cui Mansion for a long time, and Mrs. Zhang was very familiar with him. After asking a few questions about housekeeping, she said: "We still need to be more cautious, especially that maid named Mo Xiang. If there is something difficult to decide, ask first."

"Ah."

"Besides, don't be too strict. If you feel unwell, let him go... Mrs. Zhou is pretty well-behaved."

At this time, the banquet in the outside room was over, Cui Xin had something on his mind, but it was difficult for the two sons to ask more questions, and Li Shan was also thinking about it while eating, and finally settled down hastily.

Cui Xin left Li Shan behind and went straight back to the backyard, hesitating for a while before asking: "How many county kings' wives and mothers have not been canonized as concubines, why?"

Seeing his daughter's hesitation, Cui Xin coughed twice, and said to his wife: "Today in Guining, the Li family also sent a gift list. You can count one or two and prepare some gifts in return."

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes, and went out angrily without saying a word.

Tonight's life probably won't be too easy... Cui Xin sighed in his heart.

"On the one hand, the great achievements have not been rewarded before." Cui Shiniang said calmly: "On the other hand, Mr. Lang mentioned that after the battle in Lingzhou, His Majesty will transfer Zhao Guogong back to Beijing."

With Li Daozong far away in Hedong and Li Shentong far away in Longxi, the lineage of the King of Qin...or directly speaking, Li Shimin's greatest confidence lies in the Lingzhou Army controlled by Su Dingfang.

Of course, this is just Cui Xin's idea. After all, he is not a public lineage of the King of Qin, and Li Shan will not tell those details one by one.

After staring blankly for a while, Cui Xin suddenly asked, "Is it the father?"

"It was chosen by my daughter, how can I blame my father?" Cui Shiniang pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty also asked similar questions."

"You know everything?"

"Ah."

"After all, after Shen Guogong, he can be regarded as the right family." Cui Xin said slowly: "Miss Zhu is straightforward and has the same temperament as you. As for that person..."

After a moment of silence, Cui Xincai continued: "If he is knowledgeable, that's all. If he is not, someone will take care of him."

Cui Xin had already figured it out, if the King of Qin loses, then naturally nothing will be mentioned, and the future of his son-in-law is uncertain, but if the planning is proper, he should be able to save his life, and I believe that Li Shan himself must have a plan.

If King Qin enters the East Palace, although Li Dewu has abandoned his wife and children and has low conduct, Li Shan really can't do anything about it... But if Li Dewu wants to threaten him with this, no matter whether it is himself or Princess Pingyang, there are ways to deal with him.

If Li Dewu knew Cui Xin's thoughts, he would have said in tears... I really hope that King Qin will take over the East Palace, otherwise Pei Shiju would definitely send him away with a glass of poisoned wine.

Even Li Dewu had already made up his mind, if the king of Qin wins and the crown prince loses, then he will hide in Cui's house as soon as possible...or else he will be murdered by Pei Shuying.
