Chapter 279: Lovesickness is a disease, you need to take medicine
"Going to the Cui Family Courtyard?" Liu Asi looked horrified and refused without hesitation: "Fifth Young Master, I dare not take you there, I will be punished by my husband."
Li Qinzai said dissatisfiedly: "I'm going to see my mother-in-law, what's wrong with that?"
"Ah, yes, yes, but the time of meeting is wrong. After your wedding, you can meet me however you want, but not before your wedding." Liu Asi said very principledly.
Li Qinzai said angrily: "Do you have to beat the couple with a stick?"
Liu Asi was shocked: "How dare you beat a mandarin duck with a stick? The newlyweds cannot meet each other before the wedding ceremony. This is the rule."
"If the rules are useful to me, why do I need Wang Fa?"
Liu Asi was stagnant, his logic was a little convoluted. He had never read a book, so he had to use his brain to figure it out...
"What else are you thinking about? I have to go. It has nothing to do with you. You are just responsible for looking out. Even if you are caught, grandpa will not blame you."
Liu Asi smiled bitterly and said: "How can I not blame him? Twenty military sticks are inevitable."
"Tell me later that I put a knife on my neck and threatened you. If you don't take me to the Cui Family Courtyard, I will die in front of you. You are loyal to protect the Lord and have to obey."
Liu Asi said helplessly: "Fifth Young Master, you are so full of lies..."
Li Qinzai pushed him hard on the back: "Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
…………
Cui Family Villa is located in Anrenfang.
There were many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, and each family had its own courtyard in Chang'an.
After all, it was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, under the emperor's feet. Any disturbance in the court or the market in Chang'an city would be known to the family's other courtyard in Chang'an as soon as possible, and then the family would be informed immediately.
The Cui family's villa is not big, it is a courtyard with three entrances. Many people lived there in the past, most of them were descendants of the Cui family and Confucian disciples who settled in Chang'an.
Now that the other courtyard has been cleared out, the daughter of the head of the Cui family is about to get married, and she will be married to the grandson of the Duke of Guo, who has made outstanding achievements in three dynasties. The Cui family is preparing for it from top to bottom.
Seeing that the wedding is about to begin in two days, there is already an endless stream of guests from the Cui family tonight.
The courtyard was piled inside and outside with heavy gifts from guests, and the servants were rushing in and out to prepare for the wedding the day after tomorrow, making the courtyard look a bit messy.
The head of the family, Cui Linqian, also came to Chang'an. He had just entered Chang'an City two days ago. Before he could settle down in the other courtyards, he was invited to the Tai Chi Palace by Emperor Li Zhi.
As usual, the monarch and his ministers still exchanged pleasantries, but Li Zhi was particularly enthusiastic about Cui Linqian, and his attitude was much better than that of other aristocratic families. It cannot be said that he was passionate, but at least he was like a spring breeze.
Cui Linqian was flattered in the Tai Chi Palace, and even more so when he was facing off against the emperor, he was walking on thin ice, thinking for a long time before speaking out every word.
Later, Cui Linqian slowly got a taste of it.
Why the emperor was so enthusiastic towards him was probably not because of his status as the Cui family in Qingzhou.
As we all know, after Wang Liwu was deposed, the relationship between the emperor and the Guanlong and Shandong aristocratic families had become somewhat tense.
The emperor's current national policy is basically to suppress or weaken aristocratic families. Although his attitude towards aristocratic families will not be cold-faced, he will not be so enthusiastic either.
The reason why Li Zhi was so enthusiastic was probably because of the Cui family's future son-in-law Li Qinzai.
Although he had lived in Qingzhou for a long time, Cui Linqian was very well informed. He knew that the emperor had a good personal relationship with Li Qinzai, and that Li Qinzai had saved the emperor's life. What's more, the new objects his son-in-law had made several times had a profound influence on the Tang military.
Nowadays, the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty has begun to undergo slow changes. Regarding command and battle formations, it is vaguely heard that many generals are changing battle formations and methods of using troops in conjunction with the new objects created by Li Qinzai.
As the main minister of his father-in-law, the emperor treated him with courtesy. This was because he loved his family, not because of his family status.
Cui Linqian smiled happily. He felt more and more that he was absolutely right to decide on this marriage with the British Duke. Although his daughter escaped from the marriage and there were some twists and turns, the result was still good.
The two juniors were so pretentious and hypocritical, but in the end they were willing to get married?
Oh, love!
Ouch! It stinks!
Cui Linqian, who just divorced his wife, has been mentally distorted recently.
As night falls, it’s time to light the lamp.
Cui Linqian politely sent off the last wave of congratulatory guests, turned around and walked in with a smile.
The courtyard was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Even though it was not the wedding day, the courtyard was still filled with bright red ribbons and exquisite and gorgeous furnishings everywhere.
Not only that, in a farm outside the city, the Cui family's dowry amounted to more than a hundred carts, just waiting for the wedding day to give the monarchs and ministers of Chang'an City a visual and spiritual shock.
A married woman from an aristocratic family, she was unparalleled in the world. Although Qingzhou Cui kept a low profile on weekdays, she still had to flex her sphincter when it was time to show off her muscles.
As Cui Linqian walked to the backyard, he thought about all the etiquette before and after the wedding, and self-examined what he had missed.
Walking into the backyard, he saw that the lights were still on in his daughter's boudoir. Cui Linqian stood in the yard and stared at the dim light through the window lattice, feeling an unspeakable sense of loss in his heart.
These days he was busy with the wedding ceremony, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that the daughter he had cherished in his hands since childhood was about to get married.
From then on, her father's figure will slowly fade away in her life, and her husband will occupy the rest of her life.
Cui Linqian's eyes became inexplicably moist. He lost his wife in middle age, and his children are adults. The older he gets, the more lonely he becomes. An unspeakable feeling of loneliness and loss wells up in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Cui Linqian wiped away his tears, adjusted his expression, returned to the majestic appearance of a parent, and walked towards his daughter's boudoir.
…………
Cui Jie is not in the boudoir. At this moment, she is leaning on the wall of the backyard. At her feet, the maid Congshuang is holding the ladder for her. The little maid has a look of despair on her face.
When it was time to light the lanterns, Cui Linqian, the head of the family, was entertaining a crowd of guests. A man came out of the backyard from nowhere. This man was called Liu Asi. Cong Shuang knew him because he saved her life. If he hadn't stopped her, she and the young lady would have died.
I'm going to eat poisonous mushrooms.
Liu Asi, who climbed over the wall and came in, found Cui Jie's boudoir. Cong Shuang happened to be guarding the door. After being surprised, Liu Asi quickly explained and pointed to the wall.
So this scene happened.
The newlyweds, who were about to get married, couldn't wait to make an appointment after dusk. The two newlyweds sat on one side of the wall to talk to each other about their lovesickness.
Liu Asi and Cong Shuang, on the other hand, stood on either side of the wall, holding the ladder for the two newcomers. They were stuffed with mouthfuls of dog food. They choked on the dog food and rolled their eyes.
Cui Jie stood on the ladder, her expression was both excited and worried, and she kept hitting his chest with her little fists.
"You are so courageous, you are simply lawless. If my father sees you, will I be a human being?" Cui Jie complained lightly. In the night, her features were gentler than the moonlight.
Li Qinzai still smiled unceremoniously: "Then why did you come out to meet me? Just reject me."
Cui Jie bit her lower lip and hummed: "I'm leaving right now, you, go back quickly and don't let anyone see you."
Li Qinzai blinked: "You go first, I'll watch you go."
Cui Jie hummed and said, "I really have to leave. We can't see each other before the big gift..."
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Just go, I didn't stop you."
Cui Jie was furious and punched him hard: "Why are you so bad! I, I won't marry you! No matter what, I'm really leaving..."
After talking for a long time about leaving, Cui Jie still held on to the ladder and did not move at all.
At this moment, he and she are taking lovesickness medicine, how can they be willing to leave?
