The sound is not loud, and everyone is making noise in the lobby, but everyone still hears it, but the reason for it is not because the sound is loud or thick, but because the sound sounds strange, as if two rusty blades are rubbing, and there is a harsh feeling.
As soon as I heard this sound, I felt a pain in my ears.
Everyone immediately raised their heads and looked out.
At this time, a group of people came with the sound. They were dressed very neatly, all wearing crimson robes, covered with a black coat, and they were tall, as if they were walking in neatly. The person walking in front was different from the person behind. His clothes were more gorgeous than others, and his figure was tall, but they were very thin, which could almost be described as extremely thin. When wearing clothes on him, it seemed to be wrapped on a bamboo pole, floating in the wind, without the elegance of being as fairy as a fairy, but instead had a feeling of boneless snake becoming a spirit.
I don’t know why this idea came to my mind. I subconsciously wanted to laugh, but immediately blocked my face with the wine glass in my hand.
This man naturally didn't know that I was slandering him, but just glanced at the lobby with his smart eyes that looked like a fox. He immediately looked at Pei Yuanxiu.
As soon as he saw him appear, everyone around him subconsciously frowned.
And I recognized it at a glance, and followed the man, the young man who was dressed similarly to him and had a bit similar to his eyebrows and eyes. The one who came to the inn with Song Xuan that day to pay homage to Pei Yuanxiu.
It seems that this should be the name of the Song family and the Cui family in Cangzhou.
At this time, Song Huaiyi had already taken a step forward: "Brother Cui Tai, why are you here?"
Choi Tae, I am actually not unfamiliar with this reputation.
His father was Cui Shi, the personal bodyguard next to the Supreme Emperor. It is said that Pei Ji trusted him quite a lot and even intended to let Cui Shi be an official. However, Cui Shi's son, Cui Tai, who was in front of him, was weak and sick since childhood. He was even on the verge of life for one or two years. Cui Shi had no choice but to resign and return home to accompany his wife and children. Pei Ji was grateful for his loyalty and let him return home. He often remembered that when he came, he even sent people to reward things from the palace. The officials naturally had a wink. When he saw the emperor favoring the Cui family so much, he naturally had a lot of "care" and the Cui family became more and more prosperous.
And Choi Tae seems to have survived the most dangerous time in those two years. Although he still doesn't look very healthy, it shouldn't be a problem to live for decades like this.
I was still thinking that Cui Tai had already walked in from outside, and his eyes and eyebrows were cold, and he glanced at Song Huaiyi and said, "Why am I here? If I don't come, I'm afraid I won't see the young master."
As soon as these words were said, everyone around felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
He didn't seem to be here to meet the young master, but more like he was here to make trouble.
Song Huaiyi frowned and immediately closed his mouth. Pei Yuanxiu stood up with the edge of the table. Cui Tai immediately walked up to him, spread his arms and saluted: "Greetings to the young master."
Pei Yuanxiu said: "You are here."
Cui Tai said: "Since the young master has arrived in Cangzhou, why don't you tell me? At least you should let the landlords have the next one."
Pei Yuanxiu said calmly: "I didn't plan to come here so early, but because of the light body discomfort. I happened to have just talked with Huaiyi that day, so I came here with it."
Cui Tai raised his eyebrows and turned to look at me: "It's this, Miss Yan, right?"
I blinked and looked at him, seeing that he was just trying to confirm my identity and didn't mean to say hello to me, so I didn't speak.
Pei Yuanxiu said: "That's right."
"Then, madam..."
This time, Han Ruoshi stood up.
Choi Tae immediately bowed to her and saluted: "Greetings to Madam."
Han Ruoshi raised his chin slightly and said with a smile: "Actually, Yuan Xiu and I have long wanted to come to see Brother Cui. Yuan Xiu often mentions you to me, but I didn't expect that today, I finally got what I want."
Pei Yuanxiu glanced at her.
I think Pei Yuanxiu mentioned to her that Cui Tai had had it. Since she wanted to go north to Cangzhou, it was inevitable to meet her. However, the deliberate feeling of getting closer in Han Ruoshi's words must be more than Pei Yuanxiu.
So, Song Huaiyi's face changed immediately.
However, he was still the master, and he was still calm. Seeing that Choi Tae had already walked into the lobby, it was naturally impossible to drive people out. He coughed lightly, and the servant behind him immediately stepped forward and approached him. He whispered a few instructions. The people below immediately became busy and added two more chairs on both sides of the round table.
Pei Yuanxiu is a distinguished guest, of course he sat on the upper head. As the master, he sat on the side of Pei Yuanxiu. Since Cui Tai is the two pillars of Cangzhou City, which is equally important as him, he has to sit on the other side of Pei Yuanxiu. However, Han Ruoshi is sitting next to Pei Yuanxiu, Cui Tai naturally moved over.
This pattern is certain, and the faces of these people have become very complicated during the meal.
I sat down at the young man brought by Choi Tae. This man should be his son. Looking at the complicated expressions on the faces of the table, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. But at this time, it is not easy to speak casually to attract attention. It is best to let no one pay attention to me. So I twisted the wine glass in my hand in a regular manner, waiting for the owner to announce the start of the banquet.
After this small change, Song Huaiyi was still calm and ordered someone to fill the Cui family's father and son, and then said, "We should give a glass of water and wine to the young master and wife first... and Miss Yan."
Seeing that everyone around me stood up, I naturally stood up obediently and drank this drink with them.
I have also chosen wine, which is warm and mellow, and it makes me feel refreshed when I drink it.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Cui Tai took the sip of wine, but frowned and said, "I said, Lao Song, it's rare for the young master and his wife to come. Why do you just come out with such wine? Why, can't you bear the good wine in your house?"
Song Huaiyi's face darkened.
Before he could say anything, Cui Tai raised his hand and greeted the person he brought: "Take out a jar of good wine I brought and give it to the young master and wife to taste it."
His servant immediately took out a wine jar from behind and slapped it open. Sure enough, he smelled a strong smell of wine, as if he had a heavy punch hitting the heart. It had a different flavor than the wine that Song Huaiyi had just taken out.
The servant poured the wine into a jade pot and put it on his hands. Cui Tai said, "Young master and wife come and taste my wine."
Pei Yuanxiu had no expression on his face, but his lips were pursed into a line.
Usually at this time, it is probably time for him to be alert.
Sure enough, Song Huaiyi was repeatedly criticized by Cui Tai for this. At this time, he finally couldn't hold back his face and said coldly: "Old Cui, what do you mean by this-?"
When Cui Tae heard this, his face seemed to have a little pleasure. He turned his head and looked at him: "What? I brought my own wine to the young master, is there anything wrong with me?"
Song Huaiyi snorted coldly with his nose: "This is the first time I heard that I came to visit my door and brought my own wine."
Cui Tai laughed even more: "Old Song, if you have good wine here, why should I come over on a heavy snowy day and bring a jar of wine by myself?"
I think the things in these two families have their own advantages. Even if the Cui family beats the Song family in wine, it may not be something worth boasting. However, when Cui Tai mentioned it repeatedly at this time, it inevitably made Song Huaiyi's face look even worse, but he was still worried about Pei Yuanxiu's presence.
But he endured it, but Choi Tae didn't plan to give up.
He sneered and continued, "Just as I said just now, you have the intention to pray that the young master will succeed, but it is still impossible to capture Cangzhou City for a long time."
“…!”
This time, Pei Yuanxiu frowned.
Song Huaiyi's expression had completely changed. Although Cui Tai was provoking everywhere just now, he was talking about some irrelevant things. As the master, he could tolerate it. If he couldn't bear it, he would not bother with Cui Tai in front of Pei Yuanxiu. However, when it comes to mentioning that Cangzhou City cannot be conquered for a long time, this involves major issues. Obviously, he cannot speak nonsense.
Song Huaiyi gritted his teeth and immediately, his eldest son Song Mi, who was sitting beside him, slapped the table and stood up and said, "What do you mean?!"
Choi Tae looked at him with the corner of his eyes and said nothing, while Choi Jiancheng, the son behind him, also slapped the table and stood up: "Don't you be rude?"
"I'm rude? This is the territory of my Song family. Who is walking in with a swagger? Lawless!"
"My father is just asking about the serious matters, why is he called lawless?"
"Ask the main thing? Is it your question like this?!"
"Or what should I ask? It's obviously your siege is not good!"
...
Seeing the tension on both sides, Pei Yuanxiu suddenly cleared his throat.
After all, these people were quite rational. As soon as they heard his voice sound, the two young men with anger immediately became quiet.
Song Huaiyi immediately said, "Mi'er, sit down!"
Choi Tae also raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "First be successful, don't be rude."
The two young men were scolded, but they were still very dissatisfied. They were like two angry lions rushing up. Song Huaiyi had a blue face and bowed to Pei Yuanxiu, "Young Master, I am incompetent in teaching my son, and I am disturbing you."
Choi Tae sneered: "It is still a trivial matter to teach children without any reason. If you are afraid, you are afraid that teaching children without any rules will also affect big things."
Song Huaiyi raised his head and stared at him like a knife.
