The past ignites old dreams

From Shaanxi to the east all the way, walking day and night, to the bank of the Yellow River.

The nine-bend Yellow River is full of sand, and the waves and winds travel from the end of the world.

Looking at the surging river in front of him, Qiao Ran couldn't help but think of Liu Yuxi's "Waves Washing the Sand".

Thinking back, when I was filming "Love in the Yellow River", I almost had a fake scene with the heroine. Now recalling these things, it seems to have happened in my previous life.

God gave me a chance to be born again.Should I be grateful or should I hate it?

I can't imagine how elderly parents can bear the pain of "bereavement" in old age. They don't see the person when they are born, and they don't see the corpse when they die. It is no different from a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

It is often said that majestic scenery makes people open up, but the current situation makes Qiao Ran want to cry.

The little Zhuzi who was following behind looked at Qiao Ran's sad face, and was afraid that Qiao Ran would be depressed by himself, so he chatted with him attentively, "My lord, look at the sky with high clouds and light autumn wind, it's really good to cross the river." Good time."

Qiao Ran remained silent, still in a daze, eyes wide open, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Zhuzi bowed again and said with a smile, "My lord, I saw you always smiling and laughing a few days ago, and you often told us interesting stories about your aircraft country, and you even kindly gave us your snacks, those called snacks The food is really delicious, I have never eaten such delicious food in the palace, if the emperor..."

Suddenly Qiao Ran interrupted Xiao Zhuzi, "Little Zhuzi, let me ask you, where has Cui Yan died these days?"

Qiao Ran has been burying this question in his stomach for several days. Ever since that very unpleasant and embarrassing night, Qiao Ran has never seen Cui Yan again.He didn't have the nerve to ask the little wolf and little tiger. That morning, the little wolf woke Qiao Ran up in Cui Yan's room.

Am I mistaken, who was the one who was beaten, bullied, molested and humiliated?Is it Cui Yan?It's me, Qiao Ran, okay? !The first thing I did when I woke up was to think about taking revenge even if I tried my best.Unexpectedly, Cui Yan did not show up until today.He was left alone to this real royal convoy escorting the "fake prince".A few days passed, and Qiao Ran gradually lost her anger. It wasn't that she was thinking about it, but at a certain moment she suddenly gave in to this fucking fate, and asked if she could seek revenge from Cui Yan successfully?The answer is obvious, no, then why bother to get beaten again.

Is life so helpless?In the past when filming, the role was robbed by others, Qiao Ran could only persuade himself, forget it, the future will be long.How can I guide myself now?Forget it, Qiao Ran, if it wasn't for Cui Yan to feed and drink for you, how would you survive in this world?He didn't even have a household registration, and there was no such thing as Qiao Ran in the yellow book of legal citizens. Once he was found out by the government, he would have to do hard labor, which was extremely miserable.In such a comparison, a fool would rather stay with Cui Yan.A fake prince is a fake prince, and if you are teased, you can be teased. Qiao Ran, you are in the entertainment industry, do you think you are clean?

"My lord? My lord?" Xiao Zhuzi carefully pulled Qiao Ran's arm, "Your lord, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Qiao Ran subconsciously tried to put her hands in her pockets, but after a while, she realized that she was not wearing jeans, and felt lost again.

"Back to the lord, it's not the servant's turn to know about the Second Young Master Cui, why don't the lord ask the little wolf and little tiger?"

Qiao Ran said angrily, "You are King Qi's man!"

"My lord—" Little Zhuzi covered Qiao Ran's mouth in fright, and looked around. The little wolf and tiger were directing other people to carry the goods onto the ship, and didn't pay attention to their movements.

"My lord..." Xiao Zhuzi put down his hands. After all, Qiao Ran is not Yang Jingliu. He doesn't have to walk on thin ice when he speaks and does things. Shandong, they are more powerful people than the emperor. Now the head of the Cui family is the eldest son Cui. The first son is good at administration, the second son controls the rivers and lakes, and the third son is still young. The young lady will do it for you, and when the third son grows up, the financial power will be returned to him."

"Does each child in the Cui family have their own division of labor?"

"The Cui family of Qinghe has gone through several dynasties and generations. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was one of the ministers of Qi State. It lived in Qinghe County in the Western Han Dynasty. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became a famous and noble family in Shandong. It is one of the seven clans and five surnames. It has always been a famous family." Xiao Zhuzi He said with admiration, "It's not a matter of growing into a famous family overnight. There are many rules in their family. For example, Cui's daughters can marry relatives of the emperor, but Cui's men must not marry princesses or princesses. There are also Cui's direct descendants. There can be no less than three sons, and the sons must be trained in a targeted manner. Just like the eldest son who is in charge of the family now has power, the second son is not too involved in politics, and the third son will be in business and financial management. What's even more strange, they They all perform their own duties, but no one has an official robe. The Qinghe Cui clan does not allow their clansmen to have official positions."

"Without an official position, you can still have power? Why?" Qiao Ran was puzzled. Even if the current queen mother was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, in ancient times, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Even nepotism was not enough for one person Is it above ten thousand people?

"Well, it's hard to talk about slaves." Xiao Zhuzi said helplessly, "The political situation of the court changes suddenly, and Xiao Zhuzi has not yet had the ability to figure it out clearly. When the first emperor was alive, he gave the rich Shandong to him. Although the prince is a fiefdom, although it is in name, Shandong has always been the territory of the Cui family, and the tree has deep roots, so there must be a mystery behind the emperor's intention."

"According to the routine of the film and television script, it is likely that your first emperor wanted to cut down the feudal clan, but the ancestors of the Cui family were more foresighted, and they had already stipulated that the younger generations were not allowed to be officials. There is no official position, but there is real power. Many things can be done easily. Don’t be afraid of causing trouble to Chi Yu if something happens. The more peaceful and prosperous the emperor, the more he cannot tolerate the existence of this force. When your former emperor named Qi King, you must have thought that Yang Jingliu was young and would not arouse the vigilance of the Cui family. Liu has grown up gradually, and has gradually gained a firm foothold in Shandong, everything is ready and only owes the east wind."

"Where is this Dongfeng?"

"This Dongfeng is—eh? Who is it?" Qiao Ran turned her head, and saw a few maids walking towards her, surrounded by a big beauty.

Xiao Zhuzi's complexion turned pale. He just listened to Qiao Ran's words, but he didn't notice Miss Cui's coming!

"My lord. That is the eldest lady of the Cui family, Cui Qianxue."

"Oh? What did I say~" Qiao Ran whistled frivolously, "Why does it look a bit like that pervert Cui Yan? It turns out to be his sister. Everyone in the Cui family is so beautiful, it's really unscientific. .”

Xiao Zhuzi stepped forward a few steps and stood in front of Qiao Ran, "How did Miss Cui come from Shandong to this wilderness?"

"I'm in Shanxi to inspect Cui's shop." Cui Qianxue stretched out her jade finger and pointed to the other side of the Yellow River, "It's not easy to come here on a boat. It's just that the second brother didn't see him, but he saw a world-class expert."

Qiao Ran chuckled dryly, "The beauty complimented me, I'm not an expert in the world. Just now I was talking nonsense, don't think about it."

Cui Qianxue smiled without saying a word.She was wearing a turquoise breast-length skirt, the color gradually changed from thick to light from the sleeves and bottom of the skirt to her chest, from grass green to jade blue, and a dark green silk belt was tied on her full breasts. Fashionable peach heart bun, red agate beads string hair, pure gold butterfly hairpin behind the plate.The wealth and honor became embellishments all over her body, all because of her elegant and charming appearance.

Qiao Ran stared at Cui Qianxue intently, thinking, she is so beautiful, she has worked with so many actresses, none of them can compare to her, she is so natural, just right, one point more makes it thicker, and one point less makes it weaker.Cui Yan is stunningly beautiful, on the surface calm and gentle like jade, but in fact his personality is as aggressive as his appearance.Cui Qianxue is beautiful, just like her name, she is so beautiful without impurities, spotless, pure as snow.

Is there really such a woman in the world?

Feeling inexplicably regretful, Qiao Ran thought of a line of lyrics by Lin Xi: You are a thousand piles of snow, and I am Changjie.I'm afraid that when the sunrise arrives, they will disintegrate each other.

A confidante with a poor life, this Miss Cui's family, I am afraid that the responsibility she bears is not light.Think about it, it's not easy for a woman to be in charge of the entire Cui family's financial operations.

"I heard from my second brother that you are a bit out of your mind." Cui Qianxue pointed her finger, touched her ear with her green finger, and shook the jade earring, "But I told you that there is nothing abnormal about you except that you are in a daze. But you just now If what you say is passed on by someone with a heart, the result will be terrible."

"How terrible?"

"Are you afraid of beheading?"

"A knife in the back of the neck, simply and simply, is better than staying with your second brother."

"It's as if he imprisoned you." Cui Qianxue smiled without showing her teeth, "Could it be that you personally agreed to temporarily replace Jing Liu?"

"I was forced to be helpless!"

"Who cares about the process." Cui Qianxue made a look, and the maids instinctively stepped back.

Xiao Zhuzi glanced at Qiao Ran hesitantly, and could only back down.

Qiao Ran: "Sure enough, they are from the Cui family. They behave exactly the same way."

Cui Qianxue: "It looks like my brother has treated you badly, making you full of complaints."

What happened that night crawled into Qiao Ran's mind like a snake, "Memories" spat out snake letters, with an arrogant look of "what can you do to me".Qiao Ran blushed furiously, "He did something wrong, he left me alone and ran away! Anyway, I am also the prince now, and if something happens to me on the road, let's see where he goes before looking for someone as professional as me. actor."

"I don't know what you said, and I don't care." Cui Qianxue turned around, "I only care about what you said just now, 'I only owe Dongfeng'."

"Uh, this one."

"To be honest, I'm not a tiger, and I don't know how to eat people."

"I'm not afraid of you, you're just a woman." Qiao Ran put on a contemptuous expression.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Cui Qianxue almost laughed out loud, "It's the first time someone says they aren't afraid of me. Okay, I don't need to be afraid of others. Let's go back to the original question."

"Dongfeng..." Qiao Ran shrugged nonchalantly, "Do I need to tell you about this? You Cui family are all ghosts and elves, so you still can't guess it? Dongfeng is the current emperor and the group of old officials. The former emperor passed away. Who doesn't like to arrange minister Gu Ming, we always act like this in acting. It's a pity that this shareholder trend may not blow up."

"Oh? Why?" Cui Qianxue was very interesting.

"Prosperity must decline, it's the law of nature." Qiao Ran recalled and said, "I seem to have heard Cui Yan mention something about the prosperity of the sun. Now the Northwest generation is full of nomads, and there are even Tatars in Gansu, and bloodshed erupts from time to time. Conflict, isn't this a sign that war is coming? It can be reasonably inferred that we are now at the end of the prosperous age and the Great Recession has begun. Even I can see that the emperor sitting on the dragon chair can't see it? The power is unified with the outside world, and people like to fight in peacetime."

Cui Qianxue's face changed drastically, "You actually said these words!"

Qiao Ran: "Didn't you ask me to tell you?"

Cui Qianxue immediately restrained her emotions, "Unexpectedly, the person who sees the world most clearly is just a lunatic."

I'm not crazy!I just lived hundreds of years longer than you!Forget it, arguing is superfluous.It's like being locked up in a mental hospital. The more you argue that you are not sick, the more they think you are crazy.Qiao Ran was speechless.

"Cross the river." Cui Qianxue turned around and gave Qiao Ran a back view, "Little Wolf and the others have already taken care of it."

"Don't you know where Cui Yan went?"

"What do you think?" Cui Qianxue looked back, and smiled sweetly, with a sense of mystery in everything.

The author has something to say: Alas, I found that I write so slowly...

Originally, I wanted to write about the situation of Yang Jingliu's Heishui City, and I also wanted to write about the plot of the palace.

But I'm too lazy, let's follow Qiao Ran on the main line.

If you have the opportunity to finish writing, put these in the side story.

In addition, explain the "Qinghe Cui family". There is indeed a family of this line in history, and you can find out if you are interested.But here, I have a change.
