MTL - The Book of Troubled Times-Chapter 71 Cui Wenjing

  Chapter 71 Cui Wenjing

  Cui Yuanyang did not say anything after all, but said: "Daddy is admiring the flowers in the pavilion in the backyard. I think...he should also be waiting for Big Brother Zhao to meet."

  Zhao Changhe raised his head to look at her, but his big eyes, which were usually very clear about emotion, anger, sorrow and joy, were shrouded in mist at this moment, covering all his thoughts.

   But still smiling, seeing Zhao Changhe finished eating the fresh milk pastry, he stood up very ladylikely holding his skirt: "I'll take Big Brother Zhao there."

  Zhao Changhe stood up, and Cui Yuanyang took his hand naturally and walked out of the house.

   Zhao Changhe felt a little unnatural, and turned his head to look around the corridor: "You are also holding hands here..."

   Cui Yuanyang said indifferently: "Should I pull it or not? How many times have I pulled it? Why should I deceive myself and others. No matter who is in front of me or who is behind, Yang Yang is Yang Yang."

  Zhao Changhe pursed his lips, but did not answer.

   Cui Yuanyang took him for a leisurely walk and said, "Actually, I was not in a good mood."

  Zhao Changhe said: "Because you know who the ghost is?"

  Cui Yuanyang sighed: "Brother Zhao, if he can be a little stupid sometime, he will be much cuter."

  Zhao Changhe said: "Like you?"

  Cui Yuanyang nodded solemnly: "Yes, like me."

  Zhao Changhe laughed dumbfounded.

  Cui Yuanyang said: "Of course, if I am stupid, I can't take me through the thorns and thorns like a god. This is really troublesome. Otherwise... be smarter with the outside world, and be stupid with Yang Yang?"

   I don't know if it was suspected of neighbor stealing the axe, but Zhao Changhe suddenly felt that the girl started to say something.

  What is external? Where is inside?

  He avoided the topic: "So who is the ghost?"

   "My third brother Cui Yuancheng."

   "The second son?"

"Um."

Zhao Changhe remained silent. This is the real brother of the same father and the same mother... To actually want the life of such a harmless sister is just to accuse Cui Yuanyong of failing to take good care of his sister. I don't know if it has any practical effect on seizing the heir.

It’s no wonder that the Cui family’s initial reaction was relatively slow. The assassination began on the road, but the Cui family didn’t know, and these siege and interception actually had a certain degree of organization. This must be operated by high-ranking ghosts. Things that a **** or a concubine can do.

   Substituting herself as Cui Yuanyang, she should be crying at this time... Maybe she cried for a long time last night?

   "How does he... deal with it?"

   "Father has put him in prison, but he hasn't dealt with it yet. I heard that my mother has been crying at home, saying that there must be a mistake, and someone framed him."

  Zhao Changhe shook his head, it was difficult to evaluate.

  Cui Yuanyang smiled again: "But I don't hate him now."

"Um?"

   "If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have seen Brother Zhao who is so righteous."

   "..."

   "You know what? I regretted it before."

   "Regret what?"

   "I didn't choose the first way, I went to Jiangnan and Mobei with you." Cui Yuanyang said, his voice gradually became inaudible, and Zhao Changhe didn't let Zhao Changhe hear the second half of the sentence: "Perhaps there will never be such an opportunity again."

  Zhao Changhe doesn't need to hear the second half of the sentence, the first half of the sentence alone has already poured out the girl's thoughts clearly.

  He pursed his lips tightly, not knowing how to answer.

   Cui Yuanyang stopped suddenly: "Here we are."

  Zhao Changhe raised his eyes and saw that the front was colorful and full of flowers. A bluestone path spreads round and round, and its depth is unknown under the cover of flowers and trees.

   "I won't go in..." Cui Yuanyang smiled, and bowed his head shyly again: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to listen to some of what you said and said."

   After speaking, he turned around and ran away, ran to the corner of the corridor, and looked back again, with anger and resentment in his eyes, unclear.

  Zhao Changhe stopped and watched until the light green skirt disappeared outside the corridor, then he turned silently and walked into the garden.

  It's so strange, I didn't have such unspeakable emotions when I parted from Xia Chichi.

  In the depths of the garden, the water is jingling, and a corner of the cornice can be seen between the flowers and trees and the pool. It is a pavilion in the garden. Someone is standing still, watching the water silently.

  Zhao Changhe went up, there was a table in the pavilion, there was wine on the table, and there was no one waiting around.

  Cui Wenjing still looked at the water, without turning his head, and said casually: "Sit down. I heard that you like drinking, so drink it yourself."

  Zhao Changhe didn't sit down, but walked up to him and stood beside him looking at the water.

  This behavior is very rude... Of course, it would be rude if he was sitting there drinking for 2.58 million, but it also fits his rough image. Now the appearance of standing side by side is even more indescribable.

  Cui Wenjing turned to look at him in some surprise, his eyes lingered on the scar on his face for a moment, then turned back to look: "In what capacity are you standing side by side with me?"

  Daughter's benefactor? Or son-in-law? Or... prince?

   "Guests." Zhao Changhe said casually: "When there are guests visiting, the master doesn't turn his head back, just looking at the water by himself... The Cui family is well-known in the world. In order to prevent the seniors from being rude and bad, the juniors had to stand here together."

   Cui Wenjing had a smile in his eyes, turned around casually, and made a gesture of invitation: "The old man has something on his mind, and I was rude for a while, the guest is forgiven. Please sit down."

  Zhao Changhe turned around and sat down, this time taking the initiative to pour wine for Cui Wenjing.

  Cui Wenjing looked at him pouring wine with great interest, and suddenly said: "Have you read books and learned etiquette?"

  Zhao Changhe let out a "hmm".

  Although I have never learned the etiquette in your world, and the books you read are different from mine, I am really a scholar.

  The temperament of a scholar is actually very obvious, but Zhao Changhe's scholarly temperament is getting weaker and weaker after being gangsters. However, when faced with the attributes of the Cui family, it will be revealed unconsciously. At the beginning, Cui Yuanyang felt that he was "dead by light", and this guy is not as rough as he imagined.

  But in Cui Wenjing's eyes, there is another meaning: "Zhao Cuo was born, so I shouldn't be educated to know etiquette."

  Zhao Changhe's hand pouring the wine paused slightly, then stopped, and put the jug aside: "Zhao Cuo is right next to Luojiazhuang...it's not as remote as the world imagines."

   "So it's normal for people from Zhaocuo to work in Luojiazhuang, or people from Luojiazhuang to live in Zhaocuo?"

  Zhao Changhe was silent.

  Cui Wenjing looked at the liquid in the glass, and suddenly said: "I didn't want to make a move last night. I wanted to wait for the assassin to kill you first. I am confident that I can save the little girl at the same time."

   "I know." Zhao Changhe replied very calmly: "In that case, I would die at the hands of Tingxuelou Assassin, and the senior would not come one step too late, only in time to save my daughter... Many headaches disappeared in an instant."

   "Are you complaining? You escaped death and escorted the little girl, but you got such an answer."

"If I were a senior, the things I did might not be much better, so I understand... In the end, the seniors still came to the rescue. It didn't matter what I thought before. But there is a saying I said to Yang Yang, understanding requires mutual understanding. Significant."

"Only with equal qualifications can there be a prerequisite for mutual understanding, whether it is an old man or Tang Wanzhuang." Cui Wenjing said lightly: "Just like any other family, it is impossible to have the same attitude towards a married son-in-law and a well-matched marriage. , everyone is like this, and I believe it would be the same if you were changed. So the old man still said, what is your identity to drink with the old man now?"

  Cui Wenjing's attitude is almost like this: I was deceived by the book of troubled times, and now I have no other options for my daughter and you. The only choice is whether you are a prince or a bandit. If it's the prince, let's get married; if you don't admit it, then play as a son-in-law. Just waiting for your word.

  Zhao Changhe suddenly thought, in fact, Cui Wenjing's attitude can show one point: he knows that this is not the real prince.

  If it is the real prince, Lao Cui can say it directly, and he will hesitate only if he knows in his heart that it is a fake. After all, planning to put a counterfeit product on the throne, and a series of follow-up measures are really big moves. Is the Cui family willing to make such a heavy bet?

  That's why I got up on it last night, it's better to die and finish.

But today I found out that Zhao Changhe actually reads books and knows how to read etiquette. The things contained here seem to be a little more interesting. Maybe he is not confident in the original judgment of "fake goods"...so every sentence wants Zhao Changhe to admit that he is the prince, and he can take the initiative It's best to take out the token.

   Zhao Changhe thought about it, and suddenly shook his head and laughed.

  Cui Wenjing quietly watched him laughing, without saying a word.

Zhao Changhe finally sighed: "So I said, mutual understanding is needed. In this matter, no one has ever thought about what Zhao Changhe thought... Maybe only Yang Yang thought about it, and she really stood up. I thought about the problem from Zhao Changhe's point of view..."

  Cui Wenjing said lightly: "You might as well explain it clearly."

"I sent Yangyang back because I just did something that should be done. From the beginning of the matter until now, I have never had the slightest intention of a man and a woman in my heart, and I have never coveted the power of the Cui family." Zhao Changhe said in a low voice: " I have a lover...Although I don't know if she has forgotten me now, but before she said strangers, I must be worthy of her waiting. Yangyang is very cute, and the Cui family is very noble. Maybe it can give me a lot of help, and I will be on the rise from now on... But Zhao Changhe never intended that."

   Cui Wenjing narrowed his eyes.

  Under the corridor in the distance, Cui Yuanyang leaned on the corridor pillar, looked up at the white clouds and gray dogs in the sky, and sighed softly.
