Cui Zhuo came to the An family’s old house. After the doorman reported it, Uncle Sun immediately welcomed him out.
Cui Zhuo, the eldest son of the Cui family, is not in the capital, but his talent and reputation are highly respected. Although he is not as talented and famous as Gu Qi Gongzi, he is not far behind. I heard that he has signed up for today's martial arts test.
The meeting spread all over the world, and people began to speculate why the Cui family wanted to send their eldest son, their legitimate son and grandson, into the Nanyang Army.
As Uncle Sun walked toward the house, he secretly looked at Cui Zhuo and nodded in his heart. He was indeed the eldest son of the Cui family, with outstanding appearance, outstanding temperament, and profound heritage.
Uncle Sun invited the person to the front hall, served tea, and talked with him, "The little princess will be here later, the eldest son will wait a moment."
Cui Zhuo nodded, "How has Sister An been since she came to Beijing?"
Uncle Sun was startled, thinking that the little princess stayed in the Cui family for a month every year and was taught by Mrs. Cui, and that it was not inappropriate to call the children of the Cui family brother and sister. He immediately said, "The little princess has come to Beijing twice this year. The first time is in Beijing."
During this period, things were not going well. A lot of things happened. You must have heard about it, eldest son. This is the second time I came to Beijing. Except for some difficulties on the way to Beijing, everything went well after arriving in Beijing. I am fine now and have not left.
What a mess."
Cui Zhuo nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do Sister An and Mr. Gu Qi... get along well?"
When it came to this, Uncle Sun had the most favorite thing to say. He immediately started chatting and said with a smile, "Mr. Gu is good at everything and has no choice. With the temperament and temper of our little princess, if others mess with it,
She, she will definitely give her a beating, but she is extremely tolerant of Master Gu, and the two of them get along very well, especially in the past few days, the little princess has been unwell, so she relies on Master Gu to take leave to take care of her in the mansion." Cui Zhuo's face darkened, he pursed his lips and said softly, "Really?"
"Yes, I don't tell lies, old slave." Uncle Sun said happily, not paying attention to Cui Zhuo's face.
"Since Mr. Gu is good in everything, why do you need Sister An to be tolerant?" Cui Zhuo looked at him.
Uncle Sun immediately slapped his thigh, "It's the old slave who can't speak anymore. Just last time, the two of them had a bad temper for some reason. Master Gu didn't come for a few days. The little princess was also very angry and went back to Nanyang. Later,
Master Gu chased after him, while the little princess was waiting in Qingping Town. The two were considerate and tolerant of each other, and they soon reconciled."
Cui Zhuo smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Gu has a very bad temper."
Uncle Sun suddenly felt that something was not right. He looked at Cui Zhuo and guessed what he meant, but he only saw his smile and could not guess anything else. He was a little unsure for a while and could only say, "Master Gu likes our family."
The little princess is a real person, and she is kind to our little princess, and she is also a real person. The old slave is the stupidest, and there are too many benefits, and it is hard to name them. In short, it is very good, and our little princess also likes Master Gu very much.
As for children, it’s not a big deal if they have some friction occasionally, which can enhance their relationship.”
Cui Zhuo nodded and smiled again, "Sister An is very kind. Shouldn't Master Gu treat her well?"
"That's true." Uncle Sun scratched his head, "Master Gu is also very good. Our little princess treats him well and has a better temper when facing him than others. In this way, it is appropriate."
Cui Zhuo smiled again and stopped talking.
Uncle Sun didn't know what to say for a moment. He always felt that it was probably because he was not familiar with the eldest son when they met for the first time. Although he seemed to be very talkative, he just felt that they did not talk at the same frequency.
Up.
After a cup of tea, An Huajin came to the front hall.
Uncle Sun immediately came out and said, "Little princess, Mr. Cui is inside."
An Huajin nodded, took a peek inside, hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and said hello to Cui Zhuo through the door, as he was called in the Cui family since he was a child, "Brother Zhuo."
The Cui family has many descendants, and they are in their twenties. When An Huajin was sent to the Cui family, the first person he met was Cui Zhuo. This was the name that Mrs. Cui asked her to call her when they first met, so
Once he calls, he calls for many years.
As soon as she called her this name, Cui Zhuo's eyebrows softened a bit, and he stood up with a smile, "Sister An."
Anhua Jin looked him up and down. He seemed to be much thinner than when he met a year ago. He wore a sky blue gown and looked like a bamboo pole. Although he was handsome, he was still too thin. He asked him, "You
Is lunch available?"
Cui Zhuo shook his head honestly, "I just arrived in the capital this morning. Then I heard that I would take the exam tomorrow, so I went back home and slept for half a day. When I woke up and heard that you invited me to come, I came directly."
An Huajin nodded, "It just so happens that I haven't had lunch yet, so you can eat with me."
Cui Zhuo smiled and nodded, "Listen to Sister An."
An Huajin ordered Uncle Sun to put the food in the front hall.
Uncle Sun responded, hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Little princess, would you like to call the third princess, the princess of Changning, and Mr. Gu Jiu to accompany you?"
An Huajin's eyebrows moved slightly, "No need, you will eat with us later. I have some questions that I want to ask in private. It's inconvenient for so many people."
Uncle Sun breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I will accompany you two in a while."
With him here, it can be regarded as avoiding suspicion.
After An Huajin finished explaining, he stepped forward and asked Cui Zhuo, "Why did Brother Zhuo suddenly come to Beijing to participate in the martial arts test meeting?"
Cui Zhuo knew what she was going to ask, so he didn't hide it, and said seriously, "A few days ago, I heard that the courtiers of the major families in the capital were complaining about His Majesty's request to have their descendants join the Nanyang Army, so I guessed that sooner or later it would happen.
With this move, I came to Beijing."
No wonder the Cui family arrived in three days because they were so far away from Beijing. It turned out that they came early after hearing the news that the courtiers had been making trouble for a long time.
Anhuajin said seriously, "You know that's not what I asked? I want to ask, why do you want to join the Nanyang Army? You are the eldest grandson of the Cui family. Grandpa and grandma of the Cui family and the elders of the clan agree.
Are you joining the Nanyang Army?"
"I didn't agree at first, but later I agreed," Cui Zhuo said.
An Huajin was curious, "How did you convince them?"
It is not easy for a large family to cultivate an heir. She does not believe that the old man and the old lady of the Cui family will let go easily. Especially, Cui Zhuo is the most outstanding heir of the Cui family. Who else would the Cui family give up?
Cui Zhuo said seriously, "I told them that although I am not as good as you in martial arts, and perhaps not as good as a general in the army, I have been practicing martial arts in the cold and summer since I was a child, and I am familiar with military books. With my talents and knowledge, I can serve both the family and the country."
.The Cui family has left me, and my fourth brother, his literary talent is not inferior to mine. Even if I leave the Cui family, he can definitely support the Cui family. But I can contribute a small amount by joining the Nanyang Army.
Help you protect the country of Chu."
An Huajin was touched for a moment, pursed his lips and fell silent.
She thought that what he said was simple, but the matter must not be that simple. I am afraid that it was also due to his tough resistance and the final compromise of the old man and the old lady of the Cui family, as well as the elders of the clan.
Over the years, the An family has been close to the Cui family, and the Cui family understands the An family and the difficulties of the Nanyang Army. Cui Zhuo is even more sensible. When she entered the Cui family eight years ago, she had a lively temperament and did not follow the rules of the boudoir.
When she was bored, she grabbed her brother, who was three years older than her, and asked him to take her out to play.
He is the eldest grandson of the Cui family. He has a high status and a strong voice. She can't defeat her. She always agrees to her three requests. With his intervention, the old lady of the Cui family loves her grandson and gives face to her eldest grandson, so she can only let her go out to play.
So one hour and two hours.
Although she lives and eats in Cui's house and learns the rules every day, she still gets up early every day to practice martial arts, rain or shine, and never falls behind. At first, Cui Zhuo saw her when she got up early to say hello, and asked her if it was hard to practice martial arts? What did she say at that time?
Come? I don’t have much of an impression now. I vaguely remember that she looked upright and said that she had to work harder to protect her family and the country. For the sake of the stability of the people, if she was good at martial arts and could defeat Nan Qi and Nan Liang, it was worth it. She looked at it again.
He seemed to be weak, and he seemed to mock a few words unceremoniously, saying that big brother, there are too many weak scholars like you, and you still need me to protect you in the future.
Later, on the second day, she heard that Cui Zhuo reported to the old man of the Cui family and secretly hired a martial artist to teach him martial arts. From then on, he learned martial arts regardless of the weather.
All in all, he practiced martial arts and read military books all because of her.
An Huajin was silent for too long, and she thought of many things, things she had ignored, didn't care about, and didn't care about. At this moment, they all came to her, and she suddenly felt that she felt sorry for Cui Zhuo. p>
When he fell in love with her, she was unaware and innocent. When she found out, she already knew about the engagement with Gu Qingyan, had already met Gu Qingyan, and fell in love with him at first sight.
In the past, she might have thought about it, if she didn't marry Gu Qingyan, but now, she knew that she was doomed and had fallen to Gu Qingyan, so she could no longer give Cui Zhuo hope.
However, just because he likes her, is she going to cut off his hard-earned journey to the capital to join the Nanyang Army because of this?
She hesitated and struggled for a moment, not knowing what was best for him.
