Chapter 622 Glad I Met You

Now Cui Pu is indeed a guest.

Guo Ziyi looked at Cui Pu, who was drinking tea leisurely, with a very complicated expression.

"Brother Cui, have you really decided to give up everything and just live in retirement like this?"

"Yes!" Cui Pu nodded with a smile.

"Have you forgotten your aspirations back then? And your heroic performance in these years? Now that Pugu Huai'en is rebelling, it is the time when there is a shortage of good generals in the court. The saints have already ordered me to serve as Deputy Marshal of Hedong and Observer of Jiedu in Hezhong The envoy, He Zhong Yin, sits in He Zhong. If you stand up, you will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. That day King Yong mentioned you to me, and he sighed for a long time, saying that it would be too much for such a talent as you to retire like this. wasted."

"Brother Guo." Cui Pu interrupted him quietly.

Guo Ziyi shut up and looked at him.

Cui Pucai shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm different from you. You know, I was just a concubine in Ge Lao's mansion. I went up to my parents, my aunt, and down to the servant girl in the mansion. I didn't expect anything from me. Even I myself didn't expect that I would be able to achieve what I am today. But now, as you have seen, I have achieved it. My original wish was to be famous, to be on the family tree of the Cui family Leave a strong mark. I did it, and I achieved far more than that, which has greatly exceeded my expectations. People must know how to accept it!"

"And I was able to get all this because of my wife. She supported me and took care of me all these years, and followed me without complaint or regret. From south to north, from a small magistrate to the current county king, There were ups and downs in the middle, no matter what I did, she fully supported and never opposed. And I, after enjoying so much selfless giving from her, let her suffer because of me. I owe her There are too many, I can’t finish these things in this life. I don’t want to leave everything to the next life. In the next life, I still expect her to treat me as well as in this life! So, I can only use this life to pay back A little bit, in exchange for our love in the next life as before."

"If you choose this way, won't you regret it?" Guo Ziyi was still asking.

"Yes! Regret is for sure. However, if I choose to continue to abandon her and fulfill the righteousness of my family and country in my heart, I will regret it even more when I die!" Cui Pu said, "If the two are in power, I will Just choose the one that makes you regret less."

Guo Ziyi was taken aback. "But now the world is still not peaceful..."

"So there are you! Dalang Erlang and the others have grown up too. There is no shortage of generals in this world, what is lacking is just opportunities for talented young people." Cui Pu laughed, "And it's been so long, you see saints Why did you ever propose to call me back to the court? It was just that King Yong talked about me for the sake of my little lady. I am too self-willed and difficult to control, so the saints don't want to use me. In this world, there are people like You are such a loyal general who is dedicated to serving the country, the young people who came up below are less capable than me, but at least they are obedient, and if you take them with you for a few more years, you will be able to use them. It is not up to me to resist bandits."

Guo Ziyi remained silent, but the tight corners of his lips expressed his deep disapproval of his words.

Cui Pu sighed again. "But to my wife, I am her life's reliance. This time I was hit by an arrow, and half of her life has already been lost. I must cherish the other half, and I can't let it go casually." .”

Guo Ziyi was moved.

"Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations. Since this is your own choice, I respect you." He said, but he still didn't let go of it completely.

Cui Pu grinned. "Thank you, brother, for your understanding. My little brother is very grateful. How about I ask the kitchen to prepare a jar of strong wine for you to enjoy? It was brewed by my wife herself!"

"You brat!" Guo Ziyi's heavy heart was completely relieved because of his words.

Yes, everyone has his own ambitions.He has already paid so much for the New Tang Dynasty, and now he wants to return to his family and be with his wife, there is nothing wrong with that.In life, there are choices everywhere.If you choose this one, you must live up to that one.Just like myself, if I choose to be loyal to the country, isn't it like letting down my family?

Speaking of it, he realized that he seemed to have neglected his wife too much.After going back today, he also had to have a heart-to-heart talk with her and express his gratitude to her for her dedication and sacrifice over the years.Even if he can't throw down the burden on his shoulders like Cui Pu and spend his old age hand in hand with her, at least as he said - try to pay back as much as he owes her in this life!

The style of painting on the woman's side is much brighter.

"It's better that you and your husband are chic enough. If you say you don't want to do it, you won't do it. Just take off the burden and come here to recuperate comfortably. Look at how comfortable your little life is! I'm going to be jealous of you! "Cheng Nineniang said angrily.

Her husband-in-law and son also made some contributions to the suppression of the Anshi Rebellion.But it's nothing compared to Cui Pu's.But now, Cui Pu has already retired, but her husband-in-law still chooses to live in the officialdom, exhausted like a dog every day.She didn't have much opinion on the choice of her husband and son-in-law at first, but now seeing how Mu Jiaojiao and his wife live such a comfortable and nourishing life here, she still couldn't help being jealous.

Concubine Wei smiled and said, "Hanyang Wang and Wangfei are not ordinary people. Fame and wealth are dung to them, and the other party is the most important. After experiencing several life and death, they have already seen clearly that the other party occupies their hearts. So, they just want to be with each other for the rest of their lives, and they don't want to let those messy things from the outside world disturb your rare time together, am I right?"

"That's right." Mu Jiaojiao nodded with a smile.

All the women in the room showed envious eyes.

Can you not be envious?There are so many men in this world, how many of them can have Cui Pu's ability, and how many of them have his courage, who can let go of all the benefits they get if they say let go?However, Mu Jiaojiao is no ordinary woman.Without her, Cui Pu would not have achieved what she is today.Such a virtuous wife, with her by his side, those extraneous things are not worth mentioning at all.Even if it were them, they would definitely be willing to exchange those things that they could not eat or drink in exchange for her smiling face.

Take a look!

There were already nearly half a hundred people, and the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she released an indescribable charm with a slight smile.

Mu Jiaojiao looks very beautiful, and is getting more and more beautiful, this is the consensus of everyone.But apart from her beauty, what is more attractive about her is her elegant and refined temperament.Especially between frowns and smiles, those slight movements are like the wings of a butterfly flapping gently, or like willow branches gliding across the lake in early spring, arousing layers of ripples in the heart lake.

Her beauty lies in the feeling and charm.She is like a jar of wine, the more time passes, the more intoxicating her beauty becomes.At least, these women are already drunk now.

"Ahhh, I can't take it anymore! How can you be so beautiful, how can you be so beautiful? I don't care, your little man must marry my little lady, and I can't do it! I must have someone as beautiful as you Granddaughter!" Cheng Nineniang couldn't hold back anymore, she rushed over and shouted.

"No, my little lady and her little lord are just the right age. Your family is too old, so I can't afford to wait!" Princess Wei said hastily.

"There is also my family, my family is gentle and quiet, IKEA IKEA is a good match."

"My house is not bad either!"

……

Seeing this group of women crazily vying for the children's marriage rights, Mu Jiaojiao could only support his forehead helplessly.

Why are you here again?
In the evening, after seeing off the guests, the husband and wife gathered together, talking about the farce of the guests during the day, they couldn't help smiling.

"Now this matter can be regarded as resolved. Now, I only need to pretend to be sick for another half a year, and when my body is 'recovered slowly', we can eat, drink and have fun everywhere with confidence!" Holding her in his arms, Cui Pu Xizi began to imagine the future.

"There is nothing to do in Chang'an City. Anyway, when we get old and can't walk anymore, we must come here to retire. If this is the case, let's start planning elsewhere! Let's go to Yangzhou first, To see how the area is developing now, stop by the 24th Bridge and eat authentic sweet potatoes from Tianchang County; then go to Guangzhou, go to Wang Shiqi’s for a meal, and eat freshly fished seafood from the sea; well, let’s By the way, let's go to Bingzhou again to see if the mother-in-law's family is still there. If it's not good enough, offer a stick of incense for the mother-in-law and your great-grandfather, and let them know that they have successors."

"Well, it's all up to you." Mu Jiaojiao nodded docilely, still a little sleepy.

During the day, Cheng Nineniang and her group were arguing dizzily, and after finally calming down, she felt tired.

As for what Cui Pu said, she has no objection to it.Anyway, Cui Pu planned and arranged everything, so she was happy to lie there and enjoy it.

After so many years, she can finally let go and enjoy her retirement life peacefully.

Seeing her leaning on his shoulder, squinting her eyes and snoozing comfortably, Cui Pu's eyes flashed brightly, and he couldn't help but peck her on the cheek.

Sensing the gentle touch on the cheek, Mu Jiaojiao suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of astonishment was evident in his sleepy eyes.

Cui Pu felt his heart pounding.

"Miss..." he whispered, then slowly lowered his head, and sealed hers with his lips.When the lips of the two were pressed together, he said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I'm so glad I met you and married you back then."

"Me too."

Mu Jiaojiao responded softly, stretching out his arms to wrap around his neck.
