Chapter 187 Granting Officials
After receiving the imperial edict in a daze, Cui Pu was still a little dizzy after being surrounded by brothers and sisters to congratulate him for a long time.

After finally sending the guests out of the gate of the courtyard, he turned around and saw Mu Jiaojiao standing there with a group of people from the courtyard, smiling at him charmingly.

Then, seeing her walking forward slowly, Rourou gave him a blessing: "Congratulations sir... No, soon we will change our name to the county parents!"

Hongdou and the others also hurriedly talked about congratulations.

"You're still laughing at me!" Cui Pu said with a sullen face, and quickly dragged Mu Jiaojiao into the room.After closing the door, he quickly stretched out his arm to her, "Pinch me quickly, quickly!"

"Why, are you worried that you are dreaming now?" Mu Jiaojiao asked with a smile.

Cui Pu nodded quickly.

Mu Jiaojiao pinched his arm hard.

"Aw!" Cui Pu yelled in pain, "I told you to pinch, but I didn't ask you to pinch so hard! My flesh is about to be wrung off by you!"

"The stronger the pain, the more real it is. Now, do you finally know that this is the truth?" Mu Jiaojiao only said, "You have really been bestowed an official position by a sage. From now on, you will be serious I'm an official now!"

"Official body...official body..." Cui Pu murmured several times, his eyes brightened suddenly, "Official body! Haha, now I'm an official too!"

"That's right! Although it's just a small county magistrate, he's more respectable than a drug store manager, isn't he?" Mu Jiaojiao laughed.

Cui Pu hugged her again. "My lady, thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for?" Mu Jiaojiao was puzzled.

"If it wasn't for the prescriptions you presented to the sage, how could the sage think of granting me an official? And if it wasn't for the [-] guan that fell at Furong's house, how could the sage think of meeting us? Going forward , if you hadn’t appeared in time, I would have been beaten to death by Wu Er! How can I get [-] guns to attract the attention of the whole city of Chang’an? So, it’s all because of you. I did it, if I don’t thank you, who should I thank?” Cui Pu shouted.It wasn't until now that he finally realized that he was so excited.

"You're wrong. You took the initiative to present those prescriptions to the sage. That's why the sage thought of rewarding you like this." Mu Jiaojiao corrected him solemnly.

"That's your prescription too! So all the credit is yours!" Cui Pu cried, rubbing his head against her neck desperately, like a puppy who only depends on its master, it's rare to be so docile and obedient .

Mu Jiaojiao was so helpless by him. "Let the credit be mine. But now is not the time to talk about these things, you should pack up quickly, the next group of congratulatory guests will arrive soon."

"I know!" Cui Pu nodded quickly, holding her hand firmly with one hand, "You come with me!"

"You alone are enough for this kind of thing. I don't like to join in the fun." Mu Jiaojiao was reluctant.

"I don't care, I want you to be with me!"

"Okay, okay, we'll be together." Under his stalking, Mu Jiaojiao had no choice but to agree.

Cui Pu smiled happily.

At this time, in Qingning Palace, Concubine Wu Hui was reciting scriptures with her eyes closed.A court lady walked over lightly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wu Erlang is here."

"Well, let him come in!" Concubine Wu Hui said softly.

The maid should be, she turned around and welcomed the homeless Lord Wu Lixin in.

"Auntie!" Wu Lixin yelled angrily when he entered the door, "Have you heard about that incident?"

"You're talking about the fact that the sage gave Cui Liulang an official?" Concubine Wu Hui responded slowly, without even moving her eyelids.

Wu Lixin became even more anxious immediately. "Aunt, since you knew, why didn't you stop the saint? As long as you speak, the saint will definitely change his mind! Now that Cui Liu has been given an official position, he will be higher than me. How can I go out to meet people after this? "

Concubine Wu Hui then slowly opened her eyes.But she didn't speak, just looked at Wu Lixin indifferently.

Wu Lixin's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.But anxiety and anger occupy my mind more: "Aunt, what do you mean? You know that Cui has bullied me several times, especially after the time at Furong's house. I almost lost face. Recently I don’t dare to go out to meet people. Originally, I was counting on you to help me vent my anger, but who knows... Hey, why didn’t you stop them from ordering? Anyway, they caught something when they were in the palace yesterday It’s good to teach them a lesson!”

"You also know that your face is about to be lost?" Concubine Wu Hui said coldly.

Wu Lixin was startled. "Auntie, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you silly boy!" Concubine Wu Hui shook her head and said, getting up and poking him on the forehead forcefully, "How many times have I told you, don't be with those lords with five surnames and seven families, and those who are still in love with you?" How do you deal with the four surnames in Guanzhong? When you meet them, no matter what happens, avoid them as much as you can, and don’t cause trouble. Fortunately, you took the initiative to join them. Then who would they beat you in the face? Send me your own face. If it were me, I would definitely slap your face swollen! It’s not for nothing!”

"Aunt!" Wu Lixin was so wronged by the scolding, "I'm your own nephew!"

"If you weren't my nephew, do you think you can still enter my bedroom now?" Concubine Wu Hui sneered.

Wu Lixin was full of unwillingness.It's just that he clearly sensed that Concubine Wu Hui was angry, so he obediently stopped talking.It's just that the displeasure on his face is still obvious.

His appearance was obviously intentionally put on for her to see.Concubine Wu Hui was angry and funny when she saw this, she couldn't help sighing: "You said you, you just want to provoke the Cui family, but you still have to pick the two most difficult to provoke from the Cui family, you say Can you not lose? Now, you are being treated as a stepping stone without knowing it, and you are still clamoring to save face and face. Believe it or not, if you continue to toss, you will be reduced to Qinghe Cui's Shiro-kun will end up the same way!"

When Wu Lixin heard this, his face turned pale with fright. "How could it be? Then Cui Si himself is a fool, he was played casually like a monkey, and in the end he even lowered his status and did things that insulted the family. I am different from him!"

"What's the difference? Others stepped on your head and became famous in Chang'an, and now they take advantage of our Wu family's Dongfeng to offer medicine to the saint, and in a blink of an eye, he has become the great benefactor of the entire New Tang Dynasty. Now he has a name, and he has a lot of benefits." Yes, all of these are thanks to you! What do you think is the difference between you and Cui Si? If you really want to talk about the difference, it is because you are a smarter fool than Cui Si, but you are still a fool!"

Wu Lixin was stunned by the scolding.However, he somehow understood the cause and effect of the matter.

"Auntie, you mean, since that day, Furong's family has been deliberately planning to use me?"

"Maybe not at the beginning. But as the situation changed step by step, they made the best use of the situation, at least taking advantage of the context of these things. This ending in the end must be inseparable from the careful arrangements of the couple." Concubine Wu Hui Said, "Although I intend to vent your anger on you, those two people are too smart, and I can't catch them. What's more, the sage admires them so much, so I have no way to start."

"Then let them have a good time again?" Wu Lixin couldn't accept this fact.

"That's also obtained by others with their real ability. If you have the ability, you can also make the saint happy, and get some good things that benefit the country and the people so that the saint can reward you as an official?"

Wu Lixin immediately lowered his head. "If I have this ability, am I still just a dandy wandering around on the street?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly raised his head again: "By the way, aunt, didn't you say that they gave the saint a lot of prescriptions yesterday? Or, you can give me one or two of them..."

"Impossible." Concubine Wu Hui refused without thinking, "Why do you think they offer medicine to saints? Do you really think they have their family and country in their hearts? They did it for me and you , It’s even for the entire Wu family to see! She just won’t give you what you’ve worked so hard to get. Hold it in someone else’s hand in front of your face, so that you can’t see it, and hang you Forever! Letting you get what you ask for is their purpose. You'd better give me this heart, otherwise this will definitely become a ridiculous scandal again!"

"Are you asking me to bow down to them?" Wu Lixin was still very unhappy.

"You don't want to admit defeat? That's easy. At worst, I'll go and ask the sage now, and ask the sage to give you an official. When the time comes, you will start from the county magistrate together. As long as you do better than him, that's okay. Just beat him?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lixin quickly waved his hands. "I won't do it! The county magistrate is a seven-rank sesame official, even worse than my concierge, so I don't want to do such low-level work. Especially if I have to leave my hometown and go to some place where I don't know where to live a few years of hard life. don't want!"

"You are incompetent, and you are afraid of suffering, and you prefer the easy and the heavy. Just like you, how can you give birth to Cui Liulang?" Concubine Wu Hui was amused by his fierce reaction.

Wu Lixin was so scolded that he couldn't straighten up.

"Auntie, I was wrong. I will never mention this matter again, please don't mention this kind of matter again. I have something to do, I'm leaving first, I won't disturb you, you continue to chant sutras!" He He hurriedly backed away, fearing that he would be caught and scolded by Concubine Wu Hui again if he took a step too late.

Watching his figure leave in a hurry, a look of anger appeared on Concubine Wu Hui's face. "Is this kid really spoiled by me? He doesn't even want to suffer. How can he be my right-hand man for Shibalang in the future?"

Looking at his current reaction, and thinking about Cui Pu's performance yesterday, her eyes dimmed, and she made up her mind.
