Cui An thought for a long time, and finally figured everything out when he arrived at Cui's Mansion.

"Master!" He cheered happily, his joy was beyond words. "Your illness is cured!"

Both Wen Liang and Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing, Cui Chengyan touched Cui An's little head, and looked at him with a look of caring for a fool: "Xiao Anzi, promise me, don't be lazy in studying in the future?"

Cui An is not only Cui Chengyan's personal servant, but also his book boy.

During the enlightenment, Cui An also read the book.However, when it comes to the talent for reading, the young master is still the best.For Cui An, basic reading and literacy is his job, and the rest...he is not this kind of material at all, no matter how many books he reads, he can't digest them, and he falls asleep after reading them all the time.

For him, reading other than literacy is like a curse on Monkey King's head, which makes people's scalp tingle.

"Master!" Cui An protested aggrievedly in a low voice. "Can we... can we not read..."

Isn't this killing people?

Cui Chengyan smiled slightly and rewarded him with a chestnut: "No, yes!"

Cui An clutched his forehead and screamed, Xiaoyu patted him on the shoulder: "Have you heard a saying? The stupid bird must fly first, and you have to learn when it's time to learn, otherwise one day you will fail because you don't study outside." Young master's face, people think our Cui family is a nouveau riche!"

Although in this dynasty, the overall status of merchants has risen, it is still not as good as reading.Especially rich people like upstarts who escaped poverty overnight basically have no cultural background, and are also at the bottom of the business class. People in Qingzhou love to gossip behind their backs when they gossip.

Strictly speaking, Cui Yuanwai is not an upstart.Although he started from scratch, Mrs. Cui's natal family was rich, which immediately elevated the status of the Cui family.

What's more, Cui Yuanwai is still a good hand in business.The situation is clearly seen, and what should be done and what should not be done have been carefully considered.Cui's family is mainly engaged in the rice business, but also other businesses.Tea is the business that the Cui family has been discussing recently, which is why Cui Chengyan mentioned to Liu Wuyan last time that he would provide tea seeds to Longjing Village.

Some people look stupid on the surface and don't care about family affairs, but in fact, they are the ones who know the family property most clearly.

Wen Liang looked at Cui Chengyan, who was talking to Cui An, with a subtle expression.

People in Qingzhou City said that Cui Yuanwai was the reincarnation of Tao Zhugong, a born businessman.But Wen Liang felt that Tao Zhugong's son, Tao Zhugong Jr., was not an easy person either.

After all, in addition to being the God of Wealth, Tao Zhugong and Fan Li were also famous politicians and military strategists in history!

The memory of Wen Zhixia is almost fading, but Wen Liang still remembers his evaluation of the young Cui Chengyan.

"Mr. Cui is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but he does not copy them mechanically. He can put forward unique insights based on his own thoughts. This is difficult for many seniors. Ah Liang, you have to learn more from him."

At that time, what Wen Zhixia commented was just a small article submitted by Cui Chengyan, which was written in leisure time and was very immature.

But it was precisely such a small article that made Wen Zhixia boast to the sky, and Wen Liang felt very uncomfortable.

Xiao Wenliang, who was educated by his father, was not ashamed, and questioned his father plausibly: "Is it so powerful? Maybe it was copied? Or was it written by someone else? Anyway, these rich men—"

Wen Zhixia slapped Wen Zhixia before he could finish his words.

"Shut up!" Wen Zhixia blew his beard and stared angrily, rolled up his sleeves and started copying guys. "No one is good at reading, and jealousy is not small! Why do you slander people with red lips and white teeth? Didn't your father teach you to be cautious in your words and deeds?!"

Xiao Wenliang covered his face that was red from the fan, tears welled up soon.

"B-why hit me! Mother, mother wouldn't hit me... You, you just think, people, people study well... I, I... don't study well... You, you just want, want to be like ,shape……"

Before the word "No. [-] Scholar" could be uttered, Xiao Wenliang was greeted with a violent beating.

"How dare you talk back! How did today's homework look like? Read it and listen to it yourself, and see what nonsense it is!"

"Mother! Help me!!!"

……

Wen Zhixia, who remains in Wen Liang's memory, believes that a filial son is born under a stick, and if he disagrees with him, he will be beaten.This is completely different from the gentle and refined Mr. Wen in Cui Chengyan's memory who always coaxed them to learn with soft words.

Wen Liang said that he had no idea about the champion, but in fact——

Still have a little idea.

Wen Zhixia was very talented when he was young, and it is his regret that he failed to continue to obtain fame.

Wen Liang knew that he would not be able to reach this height, so he hoped that Brother Duan would be admitted to the top prize.Wen Xin was able to marry a number one scholar and be the wife of a number one scholar, even if rounded up, it was a comfort to Wen Zhixia's spirit in heaven.

As for Cui Chengyan...

If Cui Chengyan really passed the exam, it would mean that whether it was Master Cen or Wen Zhixia, both of them had the right vision.

Oh my God, he actually began to look forward to Cui Chengyan's exam for the number one prize.



Cui's main house.

Cui Yuanwai went to a distant place to do business when they went to Fengyuan to recuperate. This time, he was going to rush back, but he was delayed on the road for some reason, and he would not be able to return until tomorrow.

The uncle and the second uncle, who hardly showed up, arrived neatly. Cui Chengyan couldn't help but maliciously speculate, could these two uncles come to see if he is dead or not?

Therefore, only Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui were the ones who were really looking forward to and caring about his comfort.Especially Mrs. Cui, when she first received the blackmail letter, she cried and passed out several times, which was enough to see the status of Cui Chengyan, the little grandson, in her heart.

"Mom! Grandma! I'm back!"

As soon as Cui Chengyan appeared at the door, he received the eager attention of the two wives.

Madam Cui's eyes were red, and she pulled his hand nervously: "Ayan! Do you know how worried my mother is! Let mother see if there is any injury? Those bandits didn't beat you and scold you? They didn't let you Are you going to suffer?"

Mrs. Cui couldn't help crying: "These bandits! They're so inhumane! How dare you kill Ah Yan in broad daylight..."

Raising a child is one hundred years old, and worrying about 99 years.

Seeing his mother and grandma thinking about him so much, Cui Chengyan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and quickly said: "It's okay, I'm fine, mother, grandma, why don't I come back soon?"

Maybe it's because of caring, that Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui didn't notice the difference between Cui Chengyan.On the contrary, Uncle Cui and Second Master Cui, who followed them and showed concern but implied vigilance, had a different idea.

"It's fine, it's fine..." Mrs. Cui muttered. "Xiaoyu, remember to invite Doctor Wu tomorrow, so don't let Ayan get sick from fright..."

"Yes, you must pay attention." Mrs. Cui also said, "I also have a thousand-year-old ginseng that has been stored for a long time, which is most suitable for replenishing qi and blood. Grandma is still very strong, so she doesn't need that thing, Xiaoyu, remember , find a time to stew ginseng for my good grandson to supplement."

"Grandma! This is impossible!" Cui Chengyan waved his hands quickly.

Thousand-year-old ginseng has a price but no market, and you may not be able to buy it if you want to buy it.Cui Chengyan knew that the thousand-year-old ginseng was a treasure that his father had obtained by chance many years ago, and it was specially used for Mrs. Cui's body.He eats, drinks, and has fun in the bandit's den. He doesn't need thousand-year-old ginseng tonic. Let grandma enjoy this good thing for herself.

Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Zhao felt sore, she couldn't see the old lady rushing to give everything to her little grandson, so she chimed in and said, "Oh mother! Ah Yan is a young man, he is afraid that he will not make up for his weakness after eating thousand-year-old ginseng! Hurry up!" Let me ask Dr. Wu to come and see, and then I will see if I should eat shark fin bird's nest or other supplements..."

Mrs. Zhao spoke up, and Mrs. Cui's second wife, Mrs. Li, was not to be outdone: "Yes! Mother, the thousand-year-old ginseng was found by the third younger brother to nourish your body with great difficulty. You are reluctant to eat it yourself. How dare he eat it? Woolen cloth?"

"The ginseng is mine, so don't tell me I can't be the master of it for anyone?" Mrs. Cui feigned anger. "I know that you two have good intentions, but Ayan escaped from the bandit's nest after all... A simple child like Ayan, who suddenly meets so many vicious bandits, will definitely be scared out of his psychological shadow!"

Between the lines, they are treating Cui Chengyan as a five-year-old child.

Cui Chengyan smiled helplessly, held Mrs. Cui's hand and said, "Grandma, don't worry. A Yan is not a child anymore, he is very courageous, so he is not scared."

"A Yan said it all himself, what are you worrying about, mother?"

The one who said this could only be the careless second uncle of the Cui family.Mrs. Cui's second wife, Mrs. Li, used her elbow to push her husband, but it was a pity that Cui's second master was ignorant, and asked in surprise, "Daughter-in-law, why are you pushing me?"

"Hmph!" Mrs. Cui's dragon-headed crutch hit the ground, making a crisp sound. "If you don't know how to speak, don't say it. You have been careless since you were a child and you haven't learned more from your wife. If your words get out, people will think that our Cui family is rebelling, and that the second uncle murdered the little nephew!"

Mrs. Li hurriedly pressed her worthless husband to apologize to the old lady and Cui Chengyan: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Mr. He has no intentions, and he only cares about Ayan!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao added a few words: "Who knows? Maybe he just said what was in his heart?"

"What do you mean!" Mrs. Li said angrily when she heard it. "Is it my father-in-law's fault that Ah Yan unfortunately ended up in a bandit's den?! Or is there someone who is a thief with a guilty conscience and colludes with the bandits to frame Ah Yan..."

Mrs. Li just said this out of anger, but she didn't intend to play tricks on her, and the more she said it, the more it seemed like that.

"Enough!" Mrs. Cui slammed the crutch on the dragon's head heavily, pinching the space between her eyebrows. "What a shame to be so noisy! Don't you think the house is not messy enough? What if I scare Ah Yan again..."

Zhao Shi and Li Shi glared at each other, and they could only swallow their anger.

Mrs. Cui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out an exclamation. After looking left and right, she pulled Cui Chengyan uncertainly and asked, "Eh? Ayan, where is your wife?"
