Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Cui Yu?" Li Min was very unfamiliar with this name and had no impression of it after thinking about it carefully. "Is this person famous? Why have I never heard of him?"

    "Haha, this person himself is not very famous. What matters is his identity and influence among the Cui family in Qinghe." Wu Meiniang attaches great importance to Cui Yu. Although her father used to be the Duke of the country, he used to be just a private citizen.  As a businessman, no matter how high the title is, she will still be looked down upon by those aristocratic families. She has been treated like this when she was a child. Because of this, she feels a little resentful towards those traditional aristocratic families. Now she finally has the opportunity to join the aristocratic family.  The fight gave her a sense of revenge, and Cui Yu was one of the excuses for her to intervene.

    Seeing Wu Meiniang's appearance, Li Min also became somewhat interested in Cui Yu, and Wu Meiniang stopped playing riddles and told the other person's identity.  It turns out that Cui Yu came from the eldest family of the Cui family in Qinghe, and his father Cui Xuan was the previous patriarch of the Cui family in Qinghe.

    Although the positions of the patriarchs of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are not hereditary, they are almost the same. Generally, when the old patriarch is still alive, he will choose one of his sons, train him carefully, and pass on the power of the clan that he originally controlled.  He, as long as this son is not too pusy, the next time the patriarch is elected, the son of the old patriarch will usually be the son. Of course, there are many talents in the big families, and some outstanding talents emerge from time to time. Then there will be fierce competition, winning or losing.  It depends on the strength of both parties.

    Cui Yu¡¯s grandfather and father are both the clan leaders of the Cui clan in Qinghe, if nothing else.  He should have served as the patriarch, but unfortunately, Cui Yu's father Cui Xuan was a short-lived man. He died of illness early in his thirties. Cui Yu was only ten years old at the time. He was the eldest son of the family and Cui Xuan.  only son.  There are several other daughters, all younger than Cui Yu.

    Although Cui Yu¡¯s family has deep connections in the Cui family in Qinghe, the position of the clan leader is related to the prosperity and decline of the clan.  Naturally, it was impossible for a ten-year-old child to serve, so Cui Yan, the current patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan, stood out and became the new patriarch.  But there are too many people who support Cui Yu's lineage.  They were all waiting for Cui Yu to grow up and become a talented person before driving Cui Yan away.

    But perhaps due to the lack of discipline from his father, Cui Yu gradually showed his swinger side. He often played with a group of incompetent children in the clan, and stayed in a brothel when he was a teenager. Although his mother and elders in the clan disciplined him,  But it has no effect at all.  Not to mention studying, he couldn't even pass the examination in his twenties. Although some people speculated that Cui Yan was behind the scenes, it was an indisputable fact that Cui Yu himself was not good at studying.

    Originally, everyone thought that Cui Yu would be just a swinger in this life.  But what everyone didn't expect was that after Cui Yu got married a few years ago, she seemed to have changed as a person. Her previous bad habits were wiped out and she began to study hard.  And slowly he also became interested in the affairs of the clan.  People were surprised at first, but then they gradually realized that all these changes were due to Cui Yu marrying a good wife.

    "Husband, when it comes to Cui Yu's wife, you may not know her. But you are very familiar with her natal family!" When Wu Meiniang talked about Cui Yu's wife, she also had a face of admiration. After all, they are both women, she can  I know how difficult it is to completely change a man.

    "Oh, I'm very familiar with it. Could it be that the other party's natal family is from our Longxi Li family?" The reason why Li Min immediately guessed the Longxi Li family was mainly because among the aristocratic families with five surnames and Qiwang, they generally disdained intermarriage with outsiders. Among them,  The Cui family of Qinghe generally only intermarried with the Li family of Longxi and the Lu family of Fanyang. He had no acquaintances with the Lu family of Fanyang, and the only ones left were the Li family of Longxi, who were from the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

    "You guessed it wrong. That Mrs. Cui was not born in the fifth surname Qiwang, but was surnamed Cheng. Her father is Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie, and she is also the biological sister of your fox friend Cheng Huailiang!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

    "What, Cheng Yaojin's daughter?" Li Min was startled after hearing this. The image of Cheng Huailiang wearing makeup and women's clothing immediately popped into his mind. As a result, he was so disgusted that he retched several times without spitting out.  Cui Yu expressed deep sympathy.

    When Wu Meiniang saw Li Min's look, she immediately guessed what he was thinking. She couldn't help but point Li Min's forehead and said with a charming smile: "Giggle, giggle~, I knew you would think wrong. That Miss Cheng is so tall."  Like her mother, she is a charming and beautiful woman, and she is also well-educated and very virtuous. I don¡¯t know how many people proposed to marry her at first, but in the end it was because Mrs. Cheng was Cui Yu¡¯s aunt that she decided to marry them."

    Speaking of Cui Yu¡¯s marriage, it involved the Cheng family, which made Wu Meiniang find out more hidden secrets.  Because of Cui Yu's past actions, many clan forces that originally supported his clan turned to Cui Yan, the current clan leader, which made his clan in Qinghe CuiThe power of the clan in the clan has been greatly reduced. Naturally, both the Li clan of Longyou and the Lu clan of Fanyang saw this, and they did not attach much importance to Cui Yu's marriage. The women who proposed the marriage were not too important figures.

    Cui Yu's mother was very angry about this. It just so happened that Cui Yu's biological aunt, Cheng Huailiang's mother, had a daughter who was also of marriageable age, and her appearance and character were both first-class. In addition, she  His father, Cheng Yaojin, was a military general with a strong personality. If such a woman could marry Cui Yu, she might be able to help her discipline her son.  It was with this idea in mind that Cui Yu's mother went against all objections and married Cheng Yaojin's daughter as her daughter-in-law.

    The wisdom of her move was proved afterwards. Miss Cheng was indeed extraordinary. She subdued Cui Yuzhi in just a few days. She quickly transformed from a libertine to a diligent and studious person, and was said to be a  After a sudden anecdote, Cui Yu also relied on this incident to regain a lot of strength in one fell swoop and became a pivotal figure in the Cui family of Qinghe. Although he was still suppressed by Cui Yan, he was still young and had plenty of time to wait.

    After listening to Cui Yu's introduction, Li Min became somewhat interested in him. He transformed from a libertine to a good young man. Such people are rare, and he is somewhat similar to him. It's just that Li Min is different from the previous one.  Li Min is completely two people, but the other party is because he married a good wife.

    In addition, Li Min was also very curious about the reason why Cui Yu and Wang Kuang came together. Unfortunately, Wu Meiniang knew very little about this matter. She only knew that there seemed to be problems within the traditional big families such as Wu Xing Qi Wang.  The reason why the two of them came to find Li Min should also be related to this.

    After the serious discussion, Li Min stayed with Wu Meiniang for a while, and then reluctantly left. As for Cui Yu and Wang Kuang's every move in Dengzhou City, they were all under Wu Meiniang's surveillance, and they were reported to Li Min at any time.

    Li Min also took advantage of these few days to make arrangements for Dengzhou. When he returns to Chang'an this time, he is not expected to come back until next year. In this way, all matters of Dengzhou City will be handled by Zhao Fu, but Li Min will not come back until next year.  Most of the officials brought with them when they ascended to the state will also stay, such as Liu Rengui, who was highly praised by Zhao Fu. Now Yanbei is only in the name of Changshi, and except for business, everything else is left to Liu Rengui.  Although this young official with an upright temperament is not very popular, he has gained a lot of popularity in Dengzhou because of his impartiality and selflessness in his work.

    Since he was only staying in Chang'an for a period of time and would not come back, Li Min decided to keep everything simple. He only brought back some necessary servants and cooks from the government, and most of the rest stayed in Dengzhou.  It's just that there is some trouble at Xijun's place, because Li Min has to deal with a lot of business matters when she goes back this time, so she has to take a lot of people with her.

    In addition, Li Min also had to prepare gifts. After all, when he returned to Chang'an, it was necessary to bring some gifts to his relatives and friends. However, at this time, Li Min felt that he had too many relatives and friends, and the gifts he had prepared were enough.  It's a big ship, and I can never keep it simple even if I want to.  Just after everything was prepared, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu, whom Li Min had been waiting for, finally came to visit.

    "I haven't seen you for more than a year. Your Highness is even more elegant than before, and he manages Dengzhou in such an orderly manner. Wang really admires him!" Wang Kuang and Cui Yu came to the palace and were immediately warmly received by Li Min, who also set up a banquet to entertain them.  Two distinguished guests, as soon as Wang Kuang came in, he immediately praised Li Min.

    "Haha, Brother Wang is too polite. I wonder what you call the person next to you?" Li Min asked modestly and deliberately.

    "Cui Yu of Qinghe, I'm here to meet His Highness King Qi!" Without waiting for Wang Kuang's introduction, Cui Yu stood up and bowed to the ground.

    "Oh, it turns out to be Brother Cui. Please get up quickly. You and I are about the same age. Don't call me your Highness or not Your Highness. You'd better call me Liu Lang." Li Min pretended to be surprised and stepped forward to help Cui Yu up. He tried his best to help Cui Yu up.  Act like a courteous corporal.

    When Li Min and Cui Yu met for the first time, they naturally couldn't help but compliment each other. Wang Kuang was not a fool, so he helped both sides with the flattery. After the banquet was prepared, the three of them sat down separately, and Li Min never asked whether they were here.  The purpose is to talk nonsense.

    After Wang Kuang suffered a loss last time, he deliberately studied Li Min's temper and knew that the other party was waiting for them to tell them the purpose of their trip, so after dealing with it for a few words, he looked at each other and Cui Yu, and took advantage of Li Min.  While Xing was talking, he suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness, Brother Cui and I are here to report something important!"

    "Oh?" Li Min casually took a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, glanced at the two of them, and then asked, "Brother Wang, I don't know what the important matter is, but you actually want the two of you to go there in person?"

    Seeing that Li Min didn't seem to care, Wang Kuang was a little anxious, turned around the table, took a step forward, bowed again and said: "Your Highness, this matter is not trivial. For some reasons, including the family behind me and Brother Cui,  skyThe lower five surnames Qiwang have united to suppress His Highness and the entire industry and commerce of Datang!  "
