The future father-in-law is a child... Well, this Li Shan has little experience. Cui Xin ignored a few words of advice and praised a few tea sets. Cui Xin was even more angry until Li Shanjiang wrote a few words "written" more than a month ago.
Cui Xincai's expression softened slightly when he took out a frontier fortress poem.
"The solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun is setting over the long river." Cui Xin chanted repeatedly, "Although it is a fragmentary sentence, you can still see the scenery of the frontier fortress."
Cui Xin glanced at the young man across from him with complex eyes, and sighed in his heart. Such people have both civility, military skills, and plans. Now they are on their own. Just look at the attitude of everyone in Yanmen to know their methods...
...You must know that Li Shan is just acting as the county magistrate.
"Do you know Huairen, the ancestor of the Cui family in Qinghe?"
"Cui Zhu, the prime minister of the State of Qi, entered Lu, and his fifteenth generation grandson Cui Yiru, the Marquis of Donglai in Han Dynasty, settled in Wucheng, Qinghe County, and Anping, Zhuo County respectively. The eldest son and the second son respectively became the ancestors of the Cui family in Qinghe and the Cui family in Boling."
Cui Xin nodded, "The Cui family of Qinghe is the most prosperous in the world, and the Ding clan is the best in the sea, ranking among the five surnames and seven families."
"But at its root, all the famous families in the world come from talented people."
Cui Xinchang sighed: "Being so short-sighted is a disservice to the great reputation of Duke Shen."
This sentence indicates that Cui Xin already knew Li Shan's life experience. Before the Tang Dynasty, there was only one Shen Guogong in history, Li Shan's great-grandfather Li Mu.
At the same time, Cui Xin also pointed out his disdain for Li Dewu and expressed his position.
Cui Xin even vaguely pointed out that a person like Li Shan might not be the founder of a famous family thousands of years later. This is a very high regard for Li Shan.
Li Shan sat there silently, with a wry smile on his face.
Although he had a lot of dissatisfaction with this young man, Cui Xin had to admit that he had rare talents and talents, and at the same time he pitied him for such a rough life experience.
"Wenxi Pei family is a bipolar family." Cui Xin whispered: "Does anyone else know about this?"
Seeing Cui Xin glance outside, Li Shan shook his head slightly, "Brother Daoxuan doesn't know the truth."
After a pause, Li Shan felt that he wanted to give Cui Xin some confidence and continued: "Princess Pingyang knows the inside story. In addition, Yuwen Shishu, the minister of Zhongshu, also knows Wang Renbiao of the Wang family in Qixian County."
Cui Xin was shocked. Princess Pingyang held a very important position in the court, Yu Wenshiji was the Sima of Prince Qin's palace, and Wang Renbiao came from a famous family and was Li Shan's best friend.
"Ren Yuwen..."
"Princess Nanyang became a monk and practiced Buddhism at Dongshan Temple..."
Cui Xin snorted, remembering that Yu Wenshiji was also a bastard who abandoned his wife and children.
Li Shan looked away. Not to mention that he was not Weng's son-in-law yet, even if he was, he would not reveal the names Li Kai and Ling Jing.
Li Kai is the nephew of Princess Qin, and Ling Jing is now in charge of the Tiance Mansion. They are both absolute direct descendants of the King of Qin.
Li Shan didn't want to talk about these things anymore, so he changed the subject, "I didn't expect that Shi Bo would be involved this time. It's really..."
Cui Xin was a little confused, "There should be no problem in recruiting Yuan Junzhang, and his sons will go to the Hajj... I heard that this is Huairen's plan?"
"Yes." Li Shan nodded, "But I heard that it was Pei Hongda who advised the saint to send his ministers as envoys... There must be something wrong with this matter."
Seeing that Cui Xin was doubtful, Li Shan added: "I heard that Shi Bojian refused to marry and that he was happy with the Pei family's Western Dependent House?"
Cui Xin suddenly realized, "This is Pei Hong's great temptation!"
Dumbfounded, Cui Xin smiled and said: "Actually..."
In fact, Cui Xin refused to marry the Wenxi Pei family, mainly because of political considerations, and had little to do with Li Shan... Except for Cui Xin of the Qinghe Cui family, the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government basically relied on the East Palace, while Pei Ji and Pei Shiju were close to the East Palace.
With Prince Zhan in charge, this marriage would not be of any benefit to the Cui family of Qinghe. Cui Xin had to consider the possibility of King Qin ascending to the throne.
After recounting the family affairs, Li Shan said with a smile: "Northland is not as good as Shandong, but it also has specialties. When Shibo returns to the court, please..."
The more Cui Xin listened, the more he disagreed. He said with a face: "This tea set comes from the Xingzhou kiln. It is exquisite. It was a gift from a certain mother's hairpin."
Li Shan blinked and didn't understand for a moment.
Cui Xin sneered twice and continued: "If Huairen is interested, I should congratulate you with a generous gift."
This time Li Shan understood and looked at Cui Xin speechlessly... Women need to bow their hair in ceremony.
"Etiquette. Weddings of Scholars": "When a woman proposes to marry, she will give her hairpins and give her a courtesy name."
At the same time, "Book of Rites. Nei Principles" says: "A woman will have her hair tied in fifteen years."
In other words, a woman must either have her haircut before getting married, or she must have her haircut when she is fifteen years old... Cui Xin, a maniac who loves girls, is definitely not referring to the former.
After coughing twice, Li Shan forcibly changed the topic to business. Going to Mayi seemed to have no difficulties, but it was not without risks.
Cui Xin listened to Li Shan's introduction to the current situation in Shuozhou and Daizhou and Yuan Junzhang's attitude, and suddenly asked: "Liu Shirang is the guard general of Yanmen, why did he go to Mayi together?"
Before Li Shan could speak, Wang Junhao's announcement came from outside, "Lang Jun, the Marquis of Yiyang County is here to visit."
"Let him come in." Li Shan raised his eyebrows, "Shi Bo, just sit down."
Logically speaking, Liu Shirang was granted the title of County Marquis, and as the guard of Yanmen and an elder, not to mention Li Shan, even Cui Xin should go out to greet him.
The gray-haired Liu Shi let the door in, glanced at Cui Xin, hesitated for a moment, and then said directly, "Cui She is going to Mayi. I am willing to lead my troops to protect you."
"Hehe, hehe." Li Shan whispered twice, "I am going to Mayi. I will accompany you. I want to protect Mr. Cui as the Marquis of Linji County. There is no need to trouble Mr. Liu."
Liu Shirang's eyes turned to Li Shan and fell silent. He knew that if Mayi fell, it would be difficult for him to escape the court's prosecution. His future would be slim, and his slim hope lay with Li Shan. If he could gain something by recruiting Yuan Junzhang
As a person, it is possible for you to...
"If there's nothing else..." Li Shan said in a long tone to see off the guests.
Cui Xin looked at this scene speechlessly. You have clearly made up your mind to take Liu Shirang to Mayi, but now you are acting like this... This kid is really good at putting on airs. You have to be careful in the future. Well, you can say it to your daughter.
Listen, be careful in the future.
Liu Shirang's character was that he would never regret it until death, but now that he was forced into a desperate situation, he was finally willing to bow his head. He suddenly bowed solemnly to Li Shan and said, "I wish to protect the Duke of Guantao County on his way to Mayi."
"It's over, it's over." Cui Xin couldn't stand it anymore and helped Liu Shirang up, "The Marquis of Yiyang County was ordered to pass through Mayi. He is here to recruit Yuan Junzhang, so he should accompany him."
"Shibo..."
Cui Xin turned around and glared at Li Shan, "Shut up!"
Liu Shirang straightened up but remained silent, only staring at Li Shan... He knew that although Li Shan was young, he was deeply scheming and the person in charge, so he had to give his personal permission for this matter.
Li Shan picked up the exquisite white porcelain tea set, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Liu Gong was ordered to guard Yanmen Pass, how could he leave his post without authorization..."
"Ahem!" Cui Xin coughed twice with force.
Li Shan sighed and said, "Gong Liu has been ordered by the Holy Spirit to plan a military expedition to Mayi. If you want, you can go with him, but you are not allowed to bring your own bodyguards."
"Ride alone." Liu Shirang's expression remained unchanged, "Thank you so much, Lord County."
Watching Liu Shirang turn and leave, Li Shan sneered and said, "He knows what he's doing. If he doesn't come tonight, he will not be able to escape the knife one day!"
