After being married, she was held in the sky by a foolish husband

Cui Chengyan found that the gentleness of the past few days was a bit strange.

First, he went to the outskirts of the city mysteriously with Xiao Yushen, and then he simply disappeared for a whole day.

When I asked Xiaoyu, she also hesitated and refused to reveal, but told the young master not to worry.

Cui Chengyan thought, it's no wonder he wasn't worried, Liang Liang didn't know what he was doing behind his back, could it be... was he really preparing a surprise for him?

"Cough cough..."

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the charcoal fire always seems to be not enough to burn.The winter in Qingzhou City is not as cold as in the capital city. In addition, in the past few days, I have always read at night by night, and typhoid fever is inevitable.

When Cui An heard him coughing, he rushed to make ginger tea, and without any explanation, he stuffed a stove into his hand.

They don't know that Liangliang and Xiaoyu can't bear to set up a stall outside in such a cold day.

Cui Chengyan was tired of writing, and looked out of the window in the snow.

In Qingzhou City, it is very difficult to see snow.

Looking at the stove in his hand, he suddenly became interested and wanted to take a walk outside.

Watching Cui An busy in the kitchen, Cui Chengyan left a note and went out.

If you give Liangliang a surprise...

But when he got to the place where Wen Liang set up a stall by familiarity, he found that Wen Liang and Xiaoyu didn't open at all today.

Cui Chengyan suddenly felt cheated——

Since there was no stall, where did Liangliang and Xiaoyu go?

Combined with the abnormalities of the past few days, the doubts in his heart are getting bigger and bigger.

Is Xiaoyu, a [-]-year-old boy, exposed?Still helping Liangliang hide it together?

Cui Chengyan was wandering aimlessly in the street, and unknowingly came to the vicinity of Prince Qing's Mansion.

The shops here are very lively, and he took a fancy to a piece of warm jade, the kind that warms the palm of his hand.He wanted to buy it back and give it to Wen Liang, so that he could be warmer when setting up his stall.

But when paying the money, Cui Chengyan went to find out that the man who came out of Prince Qing's mansion looked familiar?

"Master, do you want more of this jade?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but reminded him as he was dazed looking at Prince Qing's Mansion diagonally opposite.

There are a lot of people in Zhenbao Pavilion, and the people behind are rushing to line up to check out.

"Yes! Why don't you." Cui Chengyan hurriedly paid for the bill as if waking up from a dream.

It's strange, Liangliang and Xiaoyu...how could they have anything to do with the people in Prince Qing's Mansion?

The person in charge of Prince Qing's Mansion is the eldest son, Mu Yuanshu.The last time they were in Fangfei Building was the first time they saw Mu Yuanshu.

If Wen Liang had a relationship with Liu Wuyan, he would not be surprised, but how could it be Prince Qing's son...

Cui Chengyan tossed the small box containing Nuanyu in his hand to play, and frowned unconsciously.

Last time, Liangliang complained that he had big ideas in his heart and didn't say anything.But this time, isn't Liangliang himself?It is impossible for Liang Liang not to understand what is behind the Qing Palace.Why didn't he even mention such a big matter?

Hearing that the emperor is not in good health these days, he becomes more and more nostalgic.As the emperor's nephew, Prince Qing's son is often called into the palace to accompany the emperor to reminisce about the old days and talk about his father, Prince Qing's past.

When the emperor was still a prince, he had the best relationship with King Qing. When King Qing passed away due to illness, the emperor mourned for a long time.Seeing Mu Yuanshu who looked similar to his brother, he naturally felt a lot of love and affection.

Thus, there was a vague rumor in the court that the emperor seemed to intend to let Mu Yuanshu be the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination.

Thinking of this, Cui Chengyan's face became more serious.

He couldn't guess Prince Qing's intentions, but he could see through Wen Liang's thoughts.

Liangliang is obviously more nervous than anyone else about his exam preparation progress, but he always pretends to be indifferent on purpose.Cui Chengyan remembered that Liangliang jokingly told him what Mrs. Wen thought of them when they were young.

Liangliang said, in the eyes of Mrs. Wen, his own son is a rotten piece of wood, and young master Cui is the uncut jade with potential.Uncut jade is naturally the number one talent, and the rotten wood can only work hard to prevent itself from rotten.

Cui Chengyan laughed at such a statement of "the difference between relatives and estrangements", but it also made him discover a problem——

In fact, Liangliang is the one who is obsessed with being the number one scholar, he just doesn't talk about it.

Cui Chengyan thought.His silly daughter-in-law, probably wants to get news from Mu Yuanshu, right?

☆

When Wen Liang came back from King Qing's Mansion, Cui An hurriedly told him that Cui Chengyan left a note and went out, and there is still no one there.

"It's really not worrying." Wen Liang looked at the note left by Cui Chengyan and said angrily. "Don't worry, Young Master Cui is smart and won't lose it."

But Cui An obviously thought of Cui Chengyan's past when he was living in a bandit's den, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "There are dragons and snakes in the capital, I really worry about the young master being outside alone!"

The young master of his family was well dressed, and he looked like the son of a rich family.In the eyes of those bad guys, isn't it just a real fat sheep?

If Cui Chengyan knew that he was such an image in Cui An's heart, he would probably blow Cui An's head off.

"Don't worry." Wen Liang patted Cui An's shoulder. "The hanging heart is stuffed into my stomach. It's fine if your young master doesn't cheat others. Others want to cheat him? It's probably impossible."

Cui Chengyan is very shrewd, even thieves are afraid of him when they see him.

Cui An was skeptical, but he was still worried, pacing back and forth in the yard, his anxiety was written all over his face.

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

Seeing that he was running hot, Xiaoyu moved a stool over: "Sit and wait, maybe the young master will be back in a while."

Xiaoyu was the first person in the Cui family to know that Cui Chengyan was pretending to be stupid, so he naturally knew how capable his young master was.

"You, you! You don't care about the young master!" Cui An pointed at Xiaoyu, blushing anxiously.

It's fine if the young mistress doesn't care, why even Xiaoyu betrayed her?

Poor young master, you put all your heart and soul into young mistress, but young mistress never takes it seriously!

Seeing Cui An's resentful eyes, Wen Liang smiled and said, "Why don't you care? Xiaoyu, go and make ginger tea. The young master has a cough recently, don't go out for a walk, you may have typhoid fever again."

Xiaoyu and Wen Liang walked into the kitchen talking and laughing, it seemed that Cui An was very lonely alone.

He was still looking forward to the door, wondering if it was time to go out to find someone.

But Cui Chengyan appeared at the entrance of the alley at this time.

Cui An rushed forward like a gust of wind: "Master!"

Cui Chengyan was stunned: "What...what is this for?"

He was still thinking about the Prince Qing's Mansion, and his face was very ugly.But unexpectedly, being interrupted by Cui An, he burst out laughing from time to time: "What's wrong? Didn't I leave a note for you?"

Cui An choked up and said, "I'm worried about the young master!"

Cui Chengyan knew that this was a sequelae of Fengyuan, after all, he almost lost the young master.Cui An is simple and timid, not as strong as Xiaoyu, and it is normal to be a little nervous in the unfamiliar capital.

"Okay, it's okay." Cui Chengyan patted him on the shoulder and walked into the yard. "Hurry up and study ink, I plan to read some books."

Just as he was about to go to the study, Cui Chengyan turned back and asked him, "Is the young mistress back?"

Cui An nodded: "Young Mistress and Sister Xiaoyu are in the kitchen."

Cui Chengyan stopped the idea of ​​going to the kitchen to ask what happened, and went straight to his study.

Cui An asked strangely, "Master, don't you want to go and see?"

When the young master asked young mistress, didn't he just want to see him?

Cui Chengyan shook his head: "No need."

He wants to see when Wen Liang will tell him, or keep him in the dark?

"Just now I heard from the neighbors outside that it's not peaceful recently, and the door needs to be locked tightly at night." Cui Chengyan said. "Go to the market and bring a dog back to watch the gate. Remember, you should look better. I don't want ugly or timid ones."

If he was not mistaken, strangers followed him from the time he went out to the time he came home.

Liu Wuyan's reminder in Fangfei Building came to mind.

"Zixing, you are Master Cen's student, Prime Minister Su thinks highly of you," he said. "Although your eldest brother has a rift with you, due to Prime Minister Su's request, he may take other actions."

"be careful."

Liu Wuyan's command to be careful in everything was right, but he still didn't know Cui Chenglu very well, he wouldn't know that even if it was Prime Minister Su's order, Cui Chenglu dared to follow suit.

Cui Chenglu's jealousy towards him was engraved in his bones.

Otherwise, he wouldn't just pass by indifferently when the Zangshu Pavilion caught fire.

Su Xiang intends to win over candidates from all over the world, and what he promises will definitely not be bad.Cui Chenglu doesn't want Cui Chengyan to take away his scenery, he visited like last time, it doesn't look like he is asking for someone.

Cui Chenglu clearly wanted to provoke him, so that he could play a show in front of Su Xiang——

A good big brother was kicked out by his heartless younger brother and passed on to Su Xiangna, so he must have become ignorant of flattery.

"Master, I almost forgot." Cui An took out a letter from his cuff. "After you went out, Lu Juren from Zhuangyuan Inn came. He asked me to pass this to you."

Lu Ju's name is Lu Ming, and he is a Juzi from Yuzhou City.

Yuzhou City is not as rich as Qingzhou City, and the cost of Lu Ming's going to Beijing to rush for the exam was still collected by the villagers.He couldn't afford to live in the Zhuangyuan Inn, but he often got mixed up in the juren circle there.Cui Chengyan saw that he was short of money, so he found a reason to buy the calligraphy and paintings he set up at the stall, which was considered a good deed.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming was so grateful for this that he insisted on being friends with him.Not only did he tell Cui Chengyan the news he inquired without reservation, but he often took him to participate in the exchange meetings held by various great scholars in the capital.

Thanks to Lu Ming, Cui Chengyan was able to quickly make his way in the Juren circle.

The weather has been cold these past few days, so Cui Chengyan didn't go to the Zhuangyuan Inn.Lu Ming came to look for him suddenly, could something be wrong?

Cui Chengyan opened the envelope, and there was only one sentence written on the paper.

See you in Fangfeilou at Xu o'clock tonight.

Strange, why did Lu Ming ask him to go to Fangfei Building?

"Cui An, let me go out for a while."

Cui Chengyan said that he was about to go out.

Cui An couldn't figure it out: "Huh? Still going out?"

It's getting late, if we go out again, won't it be dark when we come back?

"Burn the letter, and I'll return as soon as I go." Cui Chengyan nodded, and handed Lu Juren's letter to Cui An. "I won't come back for dinner, so don't follow me."

"Young Master."

Cui An looked at his hurried back with confusion in his eyes.

Wen Liang did not know when he appeared behind him: "He left?"

You know who you're talking about without naming names.

Cui An responded: "The young master has something to go out, and he said that there is no need to prepare his dinner."

Wen Liang sneered, and his expression became serious all of a sudden.

When he was in the kitchen, he heard Cui Chengyan came back, but the shadow went out again without seeing anyone?

"Dare to cut first and play later."

Weird, there must be something strange.

Based on what he knew about Cui Chengyan, it was unbelievable that he was not in a hurry to share what he saw and heard after going out for a walk.Now Cui An is even asking him to inform him that he won't be coming back for dinner... This is clearly avoiding him!

Wen Liang glanced at the letter in Cui An's hand: "What is this?"

Only then did Cui An remember that the young master ordered him to burn it.

"This..." Cui An wondered. "Master... the master said..."

Wen Liang didn't care so much, and directly snatched it from him.

"Young Mistress!" Cui An yelled like a frightened rabbit.

Wen Liang said displeased: "How many times have I told you that I am called you young master."

Cui An felt that the Wen Liang in front of him seemed a little different from usual, as if... more fierce and scary.

"It's a letter from Lu Juren to the young master." He whispered. "Lu Juren is a friend the young master met at the Zhuangyuan Inn, maybe he is looking for the young master for something."

Wen Liang looked at the few words on the letter paper, his eyes were about to get angry.

"Lu Juren?" He repeated in a strange tone. "Nowadays, do all the Ju people like to go to romantic places to talk about things?"

Cui An was puzzled, he carefully moved over to take a look, and couldn't help being surprised: "Fang...Fang Feilou?!"

Isn't that the most famous Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the capital? !How could Lu Juren invite the young master to such a place? !

Wen Liang didn't realize that his reaction had gone far beyond the past, and an uncontrollable anger welled up spontaneously.

"Here you are." Wen Liang returned the letter to Cui An. "" The letter is burned, you and Xiaoyu are waiting at home, I will go and see what kind of medicine your young master sells in the gourd. "

Last time they inquired, the person behind Fangfei Building was most likely Su Xiang.Liu Wuyan chose to be there, and invited Cui Chengyan openly, just to tell Su Xiang that Cui Chengyan's idea should not be hit, he is from my side.

What kind of background this Lu Ju came from, Wen Liang didn't know.He wished that Lu Juren would just find Cui Chengyan to drink flowers and wine when he was bored, instead of getting involved with Su Xiang.

"Cui An, where are the young master and young master?" Xiaoyu came out of the kitchen and saw that Cui An was alone in the yard, feeling a little strange.

"They're all gone." Cui An said dejectedly.

Xiaoyu was obviously a little surprised: "All...all gone? Then the dishes on this table..."

Cui An took Lu Juren's letter and went to the kitchen to burn it, only to realize that today's dinner was so sumptuous.

"Oh, then let's eat." Xiaoyu said. "Young master has spent a lot of effort to do this. Why did the young master and young master go out..."

No wonder the young mistress was so angry just now, Cui An thought.

☆

As night fell, the front of Fangfei Building was very lively.

"Young master! You are here again!"

The procuress used the word "you" very expressively, and Cui Chengyan was surprised: "Do you still remember me?"

The bustard covered her mouth and said with a smile: "This son is so handsome, it's hard for my wife to forget!"

She leaned over under the cover of the handkerchief and said in a low voice, "Master Liu's honored guest, I remember correctly, right?"

"Welcome, welcome! Young Master, please!"

The old bustard with a smile on his face pushed him into Fangfei Tower, and that moment of seriousness seemed to have never been seen before.

While passing by the old bustard, Cui Chengyan grabbed her hand: "Are you from Liu Wuyan?"

His voice was so low that only the bustard could hear him.

The old bustard pretended to be coquettish and smiled: "Oh, my son is serious. How dare my small place have anything to do with the stern and selfless Mr. Liu? Open the door for business, and all contacts are customers. Whose business is not to do—— Come, Ming Zhuang! Send the young master up!"

Miss Mingzhuang is the hottest oiran in Fangfei Building, and the madam is willing to let her be the maid who leads the way, which is really surprising.

The dudes who were looking for flowers and willows in the hall all looked at Cui Chengyan with envy, and wondered in their hearts, which family and family this young man is, and the pomp is so grand.

Cui Chengyan arrived at Lu Mingding's private room in such a daze.

Ming Zhuang seemed to see his doubts. Before entering the room, she deliberately pretended to be unwell, and fell into Cui Chengyan's arms.

"The bustard does double-sided business," she whispered in Cui Chengyan's ear. "I am Master Liu's man."

No wonder.

At first, he and Wen Liang thought that Liu Wuyan was the person behind Fangfei Building, but after inquiring carefully, they realized that it should be Xiang Su.

It's just that the old bustard and Liu Wuyan were very familiar last time, and I found it strange...

"Thank you girl."

After Cui Chengyan finished speaking, he calmly distanced himself from Ming Zhuang.

Ming Zhuang chuckled, and bent over to him on purpose: "My lord...don't you like Ming Zhuang?"

All the sons who drink flower wine here will bow down under the pomegranate dress with bright makeup.

Wen Xiangnunyu was in his arms, and he actively pushed away without changing his expression. The young man in front of him was the first one.

Cui Chengyan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Miss Mingzhuang really knows how to joke."

Since Mingzhuang is Liu Wuyan's person, Liu Wuyan naturally knows about Lu Ming's meeting with him.Before he came to Fangfei Building, he had been to the Zhuangyuan Inn, and the judge there said that Lu Ming had moved from the lowest-level room to the Tianzihao room, and he did not know where he picked up a bargain and made a fortune.

"I'm not blessed to accept the kindness of the bright makeup girl." Cui Chengyan cupped his hands. "If you have a bad wife in your family, you will be very jealous."

"Is it the young master from last time?" Ming Zhuang leaned against the gate, giggling. "I really don't understand, you handsome sons, why do you all... like men?"

One by one... Such rhetoric is really intriguing.

Cui Chengyan didn't mind being pointed out by her: "It's just what the heart wants."

Ming Zhuang looked at Cui Chengyan with a smile in his eyes.

"Ming Zhuang don't bother you anymore, Mr. Lu is still waiting for you inside." Ming Zhuang said. "I hope to see you again in Fangfei Tower next time."

For some reason, Cui Chengyan always felt that there was something in Mingzhuang's words, as if she was implying something.

Lu Ming waited for him for a long time, and when he saw him come in, he was overjoyed: "Zi Xing!"

There was only one singer playing the piano in the room, and Lu Ming was drinking a small wine by himself, and it didn't look like he was going to drink flower wine.

Cui Chengyan didn't play tricks with him, and after sitting down, he asked, "Why did Zhaozhi come to me today?"

Fangfei Building is by no means a place where Lu Ming can spend freely, there must be something strange in it.

Cui Chengyan looked around: "I heard...you picked up gold recently?"

Not only has he moved his residence, but he can also afford the most expensive flower wine in the capital.Is this still the Lu Zhaozhi he knew back then who wanted to break open a steamed bun to eat?

"Picking up money is too vulgar." Lu Ming poured wine for him. "Come on, have a drink first."

Cui Chengyan clinked glasses with him.

Maybe it was because they got closer, Lu Ming saw the side of his neck, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Zixing, you are also a man of the world."

This sentence has no beginning and end and is very ambiguous. Cui Chengyan looked at him vigilantly: "What do you want to say?"

"Brother Zixing, I really envy you." Lu Ming said. "You have a good family background and a good literary talent. You must not worry about the next year's exam."

"I'm different. I studied hard for more than ten years to get here. If I don't pass this time, I don't know if I can make enough money to do it again in the next imperial examination..."

"So... Zixing, can you understand? The feeling of putting all one's eggs in one basket and breaking the boat..."

It was definitely not as simple as pouring bitter water for Lu Ming to find him.

Cui Chengyan said: "Zhaozhi, you are drunk."

Lu Ming looked at him very firmly: "I'm not drunk, I'm sober."

Most drunks would not admit that they were drunk, Cui Chengyan understood.

He was just worried about how to get Lu Ming back to the Zhuangyuan Inn.

"A young master like you who was born with a golden spoon in your mouth... will never understand..." Lu Ming murmured. "So! I must seize this opportunity, I have no conditions to try again..."

Cui Chengyan frowned, what kind of medicine is sold in Lu Ming's gourd?Did you call him here just to complain about him?

"You've had too much to drink," he said. "Why don't I ask someone to take you back."

Cui Chengyan got up and was about to help Lu Ming, but he grabbed his hand and said seriously: "Zixing, if I say... I can guarantee you a high school?"

"As you said, I will definitely go to high school, what am I worried about?" Cui Chengyan perfunctory him. "Stop talking nonsense, this is not the place for you."

The phrase "it's not where you should come" irritated Lu Ming fiercely, and he said fiercely, "Why can't I come! Power, money, beauties, wait, wait until I'm in high school! All, there will be... "

"Zixing, I, I treat you as a friend... I just told you..." Lu Ming looked at him, and the slight drunkenness dissipated without a trace. "Su Xiang intends to promote students in this exam. You and I are very clear about the current situation in the court. As long as you get on the boat of Su Xiang, in the future...whether it is this exam or the future career, Baili And harmless."

"Among so many people, only you really regard me as a friend." Lu Ming said. "There are two chief examiners for this imperial examination, and one of them is a student of Prime Minister Su."

Lu Ming didn't say anything about the rest, but Cui Chengyan also understood.

What kind of virtue and ability does he have to make Prime Minister Su favor him so much?One Cui Chenglu is not enough, and he even used fame and fortune to seduce Lu Ming...

"Zixing, will you agree?"

Lu Ming looked at him eagerly, as if predicting that he would not refuse.
