Chapter five hundred and thirty ninth kind of cause and effect
Zhulin Cui Mansion.
"My nephew, Jibing, pays homage to his follower."
Cui Jieren fell to the ground respectfully.
I saw an old man in his seventies sitting in front of him, with a white beard, rosy complexion, energetic and strong body.
The old man was named Cui Yixuan, who was the governor of Wuzhou. When he destroyed Chen Shuozhen's rebels, he also made great contributions.
At the same time, he was also from the Cui family in Qinghe. He was the cousin of Cui Jieren. He was of great seniority in the Cui family. Therefore, when Cui Jieren saw him, he had to bow and bow to him and respectfully called him "Father".
"Get up quickly, get up quickly, let the father take a good look."
Cui Yixuan reached out his hand and showed a kind smile on his face.
"yes."
Cui Jieren stood up.
Cui Yixuan looked at Cui Jieren, nodded, and smiled and said, "Among our junior generation of the Cui family, I can talk to you, sit down, sit down."
Cui Yixuan sat on the left side of Cui Yixuan. After some greetings, Cui Yixuan stroked his beard and said, "Ji Ren, why are you still idle at home? I have heard about Xuan Dao, good deeds, Master Gua, Wuyue and others who have all entered the officialdom?"
Cui Jieren nodded: "My nephew is naughty. If he rashly enters the officialdom, it may cause difficulties to the family, so he wants to study for two more years."
"You're all excuses."
Cui Yixuan glared at him slightly and said, "You have been able to remember everything since you were young. The scriptures at home are probably already broken. If you continue reading them, you will become a fool. I am almost in my seventies and are still serving the country. When you are in a weak position, you are just as energetic as an old man, but look at you, you are worse than me!"
Cui Jie said: "When I teach my father, how dare my nephew compare with him?"
"Don't do this with me."
Cui Yixuan snorted and sighed again: "Ji Ren, in fact, my father is not trying to force you to be an official, but he is afraid that you will be the same as your father. The burden of our Cui family will fall on you sooner or later. Come out and practice quickly, and when our older generations are all gone, you can make up for it."
The Cui family in Qinghe was recognized by the people as the first gentry of the Sui and Tang dynasties. The family members were all over the government offices in the court. In order to ensure that the power in the court is not weak, someone must make up for it. Of course, the gentry like them has always been arrogant. There are still many people in the family who are unwilling to be officials, but often these people have extremely high literary literacy, so they have extremely high prestige among the people and even in the court. They are not officials, but better than officials. To put it bluntly.
However, Cui Jieren has been talented since childhood and is well versed in the court. He is the target of the Cui family's key training and the heir of the head of the family. Therefore, he must become an official, but he is still young. Now the elders have not forced him much. They just need to arrest him and educate him during festivals.
"Yes! My nephew follows his father's teachings."
Cui Jieren quickly skipped the topic and said with a smile: "From the father's great merits, Your Majesty will definitely give him a great reward, which is really gratifying."
Cui Yixuan sighed when he heard this.
Cui Jieren said curiously: "I wonder why my father sighed?"
Cui Yixuan glanced at Cui Jieren and said, "This time, Yang Sanlang is the biggest contributor. I am just second, and I can't say that I am a great contributor."
Cui Jieren was slightly stunned and said, "Are you dissatisfied with this reward for merit?"
Cui Yixuan nodded and said, "I don't hide it from you. I am indeed a little dissatisfied with this reward on merit. In fact, Chen Shuozhen is just a group of mobs. As long as he breaks his evil magic, it will be vulnerable. I also came up with a countermeasure to deal with her. Unexpectedly, Chen Shuozhen took risks and ran to attack Yangzhou. The battle in Yangzhou became the turning point of the entire battle, so Yang Sanlang became the first hero to suppress the rebellion. In fact, this is not enough. It can only be said that it deserves him, but in the end the court only rewarded me as a doctor and did not receive any promotion."
Cui Jieren frowned slightly and said, "Now that the uncle of the country is in power, he has always been prejudice against our Cui family. The father of the Cong was already the governor of Wuzhou. If he wanted to go further, he would at least be promoted to deputy prime minister. Unless he was not a real official, I think the uncle of the Congfu would not let the Congfu be promoted so easily."
Cui Yixuan sighed: "In fact, whether you have power or not, I don't care. I am old, how many years can I live? It's said to be an promotion. In fact, after all, I just want Chang'an. I can't do power. It doesn't matter how big the official position is. As long as the court transfers me, I'm afraid that one day I will die in a foreign land."
He is already seventy years old, and the place in Wuzhou is so far away. If you go again, it will be difficult to come. So returning to the fallen leaves is probably Cui Yixuan's greatest wish.
Of course, Cui Jieren also understood in his heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "I wonder how long will he stay in Chang'an after coming from my father?"
Cui Yixuan said: "Last year, because of Chen Shuozhen's rebellion, I had no family to visit relatives, so I should be able to stay for two months. Could it be that you have a way?"
Although Cui Jieren is young, he has always had many ideas, and many people in the Cui family have asked him for advice.
Cui Jieren shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but in my opinion, there is no shortage of opportunities in the court now. It depends on whether my father is willing to stay in Chang'an."
Cui Yixuan looked at Cui Jieren in surprise
Cui Pingzhong's sudden arrival did not affect Han Yi's interest. He originally planned to stay for only one day. After all, the night market was opened on the holiday, but he was really reluctant to leave and too lazy to worry about it. So he stayed for another night. During this period, Han Yi taught Xiao Wuyi a few songs. He thought that in the first pair of mahjong, the couple could play all night and run away from home, not to mention the harp that both of them were interested in. They played until very late. The two bathed in a large wooden barrel, and the love was inevitable.
It was not until noon the next day that Han Yi reluctantly parted with Xiao Wuyi.
When Han Yi looked near Bei Lane, from a distance, he saw two little guys standing at the entrance of the alley, looking around, as if waiting for something.
This simple scene touched Han Yi's heart and moved him very much. This was a scene he could not imagine in later generations, and a scene he had never imagined, because in later generations he had no home and had always stayed in a hotel. Whether it was dead or alive, no one would care about it, and no one would wait for him to come, that is, when he was drunk on the street, a best friend sent him to the hotel and threw it on the bed.
"Brother Han!"
Soon, Brother Xiong, Ono appeared Han Yi and immediately waved to run over.
Han Yi also waved his hand quickly.
"Brother Han, let me tell you good news."
Xiong Di ran to Han Yi and gasped slightly, but seemed extremely excited.
Han Yi said curiously: "What good news?"
Brother Xiong said excitedly: "Young Master Yang is here."
Han Yi said angrily: "Isn't that guy Xiao Meng? You'll come when you come. Do you have to be so excited?"
Brother Xiong shook his head anxiously and said, "It's not Young Master, it's Young Master Yang."
Han Yi said: "Young Master is the Second Young Master Yang!"
Brother Xiong was so anxious that he jumped up and said, "Brother Han, I am talking about the second young master Yang from Yangzhou!"
Han Yi blinked and said, "You are talking about Yang Zhanfei?"
Brother Xiong nodded hard.
Han Yi said in surprise: "Is that so? Then where is he now?"
Brother Xiong said, "I'm sitting in the house."
"Let's go!"
Han Yi was overjoyed and walked quickly towards Fengfei Tower with his brother Xiong.
"Brother Xiaoyi, you are here."
"Good!"
Han Yi waved to a servant, but Brother Xiong who was beside him had just been admitted to the hospital, he shouted excitedly: "Young Master Yang, Young Master Yang, Brother Han is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person walking out of the house quickly. He saw that this person was in his twenties, tall and mighty, with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, and was majestic. It was the Erlang of the Yang family and Yang Zhanfei. As soon as he saw Han Yi, he couldn't help but shouted in surprise: "Han Yi!"
"Second Young Master Yang."
Han Yi was also extremely excited when he saw his old friend.
Han Yi and Yang Zhanfei were really sad at the beginning. They were a friendship between life and death, and their friendship was naturally extraordinary. The two walked forward at the same time, holding each other's arms tightly with each other's hands, so excited that they couldn't speak.
After looking at each other for a while, Han Yicai laughed and said, "I haven't seen each other for many days, the second young master is even more handsome. No wonder the girls here just now seemed to be lost."
Yang Zhanfei was very happy to hear it. It was not because of Han Yi's compliment, but when he heard this extremely unique and familiar way of speaking, he laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, and you are no longer the same as before. This call from the second young master made me feel a little nervous."
After saying that, the two laughed again.
After a brief greeting, the two entered the hall together, because most of Fengfei Tower is female relatives, Meng'er and the others will avoid it when guests come to the door. If they are big enough, Liu E will come forward to entertain her. However, Yang Zhanfei, Xiong Di, Ono and the others are also familiar with each other, so Liu E did not come forward, and there was no one in the hall. After sitting down, Han Yi hurriedly asked, "Second Master, when did you come to Chang'an?"
Yang Zhanfei said: "I just arrived yesterday. Oh, my dad and my grandma are here too."
"Is that true? Then Old Lady Yang and Mr. Yang are both fine?"
"It's all great to worry about you." Yang Zhanfei nodded with a smile.
Han Yi couldn't help but think of an old lady with kind eyes, and then remembered all the things she had in Yangzhou, and said with a little emotion: "In a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed. Everything that I had born in Yangzhou is still vivid in my mind, as if I was born yesterday."
Yang Zhanfei smiled and said, "But I think I've seen you ten days ago."
Han Yi said: "How do you say this?"
Yang Zhanfei said: "I came to Chang'an and heard your name almost every day."
Han Yi smiled and said, "Is it so exaggerated?"
Yang Zhanfei said seriously: "There is no false statement."
Han Yi smiled and said, "I think it's not a good thing to say."
Yang Zhanfei smiled and said, "Whether it is good or bad, this is very impressive! You must know that this is Chang'an, not Yangzhou."
Han Yi sighed: "Then this is not necessarily a good thing. This person is afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong."
Yang Zhanfei certainly understood what Han Yi meant, but this was exactly what he admired Han Yi the most. A farmer from Yangzhou made Chang'an so upside down. This was not something that ordinary people could do. He said: "No matter what, this surprised me very much. It's not that I don't believe in your ability. It's just that my father invited you to help him again and again before, but you refused one by one. But after coming to Chang'an, it took only a long time to become a sixth-rank official."
"Aren't I forced myself?"
Han Yi shook her head and smiled, not wanting to mention these things. While disturbing her interest, she changed the topic and said, "By the way, everything is OK over Meicun?"
In fact, he did not change the topic, and Yang Zhanfei did not intend to continue asking. He immediately said: "You don't know that Meicun is the richest village in Yangzhou now. If you go there now, you probably won't know it anymore. Now there are two-story buildings, oh, they are all built according to your old house."
As he said that, he simply told Han Yi about the incident.
It turned out that when Han Yi left, he encouraged the villagers of Meicun to go out and use business to get rich. At first, the villagers of Meicun were a little afraid, but the Shen family was still the leader, so they dared to give it a try. As a result, they soared into the sky. At this time, Yangzhou's business was actually very sluggish. In addition, Chen Shuozhen's rebellion caused significant damage to Muzhou and Wuzhou. At this time, when everything was in trouble, business opportunities were endless.
It's funny to say that mahjong and furniture are just second. The key is that Han Yi gave them the construction technology and some construction tools that helped them a lot. Because at that time, missionaries from the Western Regions began to enter the Tang Dynasty on a large scale and wanted to build churches in Yangzhou, the order was followed by the villagers of Meicun. What's more coincidental is that the furniture designed by Han Yi also conforms to the living habits of people in the Western Regions.
After the order was followed, it was immediately out of control. Almost the villagers of Meicun monopolized the entire Yangzhou construction industry, especially with foreign missionaries and merchants. Now all foreign friends go to Meicun to buy furniture.
Meicun is like Han Yi, nowadays, and is different from the past. During this period, she donated 100 coins to Yang Sine to help the people of Muzhou.
The seeds planted at the beginning were able to bear fruit. Of course, Han Yi was so happy that he heard him talk about Shen Xiao, so he hurriedly asked, "My brother Shen Xiao, is he okay?"
Yang Zhanfei frowned slightly and said with a little concern: "I just told Onoka Xiaopang about this matter, I thought Shen Xiao had already arrived at you after spending money."
Han Yi blinked and said confused: "What does it mean?"
Yang Zhanfei sighed: "Actually, Shen Xiao came one month earlier than me, and he was just carrying a follower, and we were still a large group of people. Logically speaking, he should have arrived more than a month earlier than me."
