() Hearing Cui Yingluo's words, Wang Fei was slightly startled and put away the secret joy in her heart, just because she didn't want any woman to have anything to do with her brother, even if the relationship between the one in front of her and her brother had almost been settled.

She blinked her charming red phoenix eyes and said doubtfully: "Sister Cui, why don't you go see Brother, so that he knows how worried you are about him."

Cui Yingluo pursed her lips and smiled softly. She was so bright and beautiful. She just shook the book in her hand and said: "I happened to encounter an interesting question. I have to go back and think about it quickly." What she really wanted to say was, with Ah and me,

Wei's tacit understanding, could he still not know about it?

She just took two steps and turned back. She just played with a strand of her black hair and wrapped it around her fingertips. With a condescending queen attitude, she said lightly: "Avi looks more dizzy than this."

The sound of the drowsy piano is much better, but the guqin and the like are very boring, Feifei, what do you think?"

The smile that Wang Fei had been maintaining froze on her face, and she said displeasedly: "Sister Cui, you don't know how to play the piano. I think my brother plays the piano very well, it's smooth and pleasant, and it's endless aftertaste..."

No one can say anything wrong about my brother, not even you, the direct daughter of the Cui family... Wang Fei rebutted Cui Yingluo without showing any weakness, and almost couldn't help but say that Cui Yingluo was vulgar and didn't understand elegant music. After all, this is Cui Yingluo.

In Wang Fei's mind, she didn't think the arithmetic that Cui Yingluo studied was of any use, and her status in today's imperial examinations was at the bottom.

True elegance should be like an elder brother, who is proficient in writing, poetry, and the six arts of a gentleman. Every move is in the style of a noble family, without a trace of disrespect. And these behaviors are not done deliberately, but the elegance has already been integrated into it.

Deep in her bones, Cui Yingluo has never liked poetry and songs that women like, let alone things like female workers...

Her only advantages are her extremely beautiful appearance and temperament cultivated by a wealthy family. In other aspects, Wang Fei thinks she can surpass Cui Yingluo.

Seeing Wang Fei's angry and unhappy look, the corners of Cui Yingluo's mouth curled up slightly. She could probably determine the hidden thoughts of this little girl. The previous sentence was just a casual test.

"It's true that I don't understand Qin, but I know that Avi must be in a good mood today." Cui Yingluo said calmly and generously, without any trace of shame that she should be ashamed of not knowing Yale.

"Why?" Wang Fei frowned, feeling a little unhappy. She didn't believe that this cousin, who was so far away from her brother, could know how he was feeling.

"I heard it from the music of the piano." Cui Yingluo playfully blinked her beautiful big eyes, her eyes moving so fast that she could put women all over the world to shame.

Then she chuckled again and left without any trace of fireworks.

Although Cui Yingluo doesn't understand Qin, she understands Wang Wei's heart.

Wang Fei clenched her hands tightly in her long sleeves, looking at the back that always made people look up at her. She bit her lip, feeling a deep sense of frustration in her heart.

At this moment, a little maid came to Wang Fei with a panic look on her face and whispered a few words to Wang Fei. When Wang Fei heard the news, the look on his face changed drastically, from slightly happy to extremely happy.

Anger is just a momentary thing.

She waved her hand to reject the maid, but hurriedly walked to the ancient pavilion. When she saw Wang Wei, she said anxiously: "Brother, there is a visitor from the Cui family."

Wang Wei was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't know what his little sister meant by this nonsense. The relationship between the Cui family and the Wang family had always been good. After all, his mother was also the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, so the Cui family had guests.

Visiting is also extremely normal.

But seeing the anxious and angry look on his little sister's face, he asked curiously: "What's going on?"

Wang Fei stopped talking.

At this time, Wang Wei's mother's summons came, and he could only reluctantly put down his guqin and walked to the palace hall. Before leaving, he asked himself: "Whose qin belongs to him?"

Ying Nai, who was standing by and looked like Wang Wei's shadow, replied: "Alang, this belongs to sister Yingluo of the Cui family. She said that if Alang plays the piano, his mood will definitely improve."

Wang Fei glared at Yingno, but felt more and more that her cousin really understood her brother, but...

In the simple and elegant hall, Wang Wei's mother, Ms. Cui, was sitting at the head of the table, her expression still neither happy nor sad. She was gently sipping the valuable Lushan Wenlin tea, which is emerald green in color and has a faint fragrance.

Orchid has a rich, mellow and fresh taste, with fat, tender and white buds and leaves. It belongs to the category of "tribute tea". In later generations, it was probably a special offering of the government and was not something that ordinary people could enjoy.

The person next to him is a young man who is nearly thirty years old. He is wearing luxurious clothes and has shiny black hair and beard. It can be seen that he is usually pampered and well-maintained. However, his face looks pale and looks a little...

Overdrinking. It is hard to imagine that "overdrinking" can be used to describe such a person who is already considered an older youth.

But the Cui family knows that her cousin Cui Po has not learned anything since he was a child, and he likes to make noises. His father Cui Xuanxi is now the elder of the Boling Cui family, and even his own brother Cui Su must be controlled by him.

, the biggest reason for this is that Cui's father Cui Xuanwei passed away more than ten years ago in the second year of Shenlong (706), and her family has been weak since then.

And Cui Xuanwei was once a figure in the Cui family. When Empress Wu was in the dynasty, he served successively as Tianguan Shilang, Fengge Shilang, Tongfengge Luantai Pingzhangshi (i.e. prime minister), and later with Zhang Jianzhi and Jinghui.

and others launched the Shenlong Revolution, ushered in the restoration of Zhongzong, and granted him the title of Imperial Secretary, making him the Prince of Boling County. Unfortunately, he was ostracized by Queen Wei and Wu Sansi, and was exiled to Baizhou. He died of illness on the way to his post.

Cui Po took the time to sip the green tea, saying in his heart that the Hedong Wang family was indeed the top family branched off from the Taiyuan Wang family, and this tea was worthy of its status. However, since Wang Chulian, the pillar of the Hedong Wang family, had passed away, this Wang family

How long can the family's wealth last? Cui Po sneered in his heart.

Wang Chulian was already an extremely distinguished official from the fifth rank of Shangzhou Simajia Chaosan. After all, there were three hurdles for promotion in the Tang Dynasty. One was to enter the stream, become an official within the stream, and become an official after leaving the stream; the second was to advance to the fifth rank;

It is necessary to enter the third rank. The casual officials below the sixth rank are called "Lang", so they are also called "Langguan". The casual officers are used to determine the grade and salary, and the civil servants determine the position. Wang Chulian's civil servant is Shangzhou

Sima, while San Guan is Chao San Dafu.

In principle, being an official must be prudent and impeccable. Without superhuman political achievements, the sixth rank is considered to be the end. The fifth rank and above are "doctors". Officials above the fifth rank, and those who have not served as state or county magistrates outside, cannot reach this level at all.

This hurdle also has a strict limit on the number of people, and it can only be awarded if you are outstanding, have excellent assessment results, and are particularly favored and valued by the emperor.

As for officials of third grade and above, because of their high status and far-reaching reputation, they will not be awarded easily. Except for the prime minister and the heads of various departments, the rest are almost all honorary officials with no real power. They are often awarded to the elders of the past dynasties to show their favor.

.

It can be seen that Wang Chulian, who is less than forty years old, has a bright future when he becomes a high-ranking official at the provincial and ministerial level in later generations. Even Cui's elder brother Cui Can is now only a fifth-rank scholar.

This is the advantage of a wealthy family. They have strong personal connections. As long as they have the ability, their promotion speed can be described as a rocket.

When Cui Yingluo heard that her elders had also come here, she couldn't help but look a little ugly. It seemed that she was really a little careless this time, forgetting that the Boling Cui family was not monolithic. As long as it was a big family, the more prosperous it was,

The internal fighting becomes more intense. Unless something big happens, they will have to unite, otherwise they will have to fight for power and gain.

When Cui Yingluo came to the hall, she saw Cui Po, her clan uncle, who was sitting there looking very proud of himself. She immediately understood in her heart that this clan uncle didn't even have an official status. He just relied on having an old man.

A father with no qualifications really knows what to do when he is dictating among the Bolingcui family.

When Cui Po saw the beautiful and charming Cui Yingluo, his smile suddenly faded, and he reprimanded in an elder-to-younger tone: "Who asked you to come here secretly? You really don't understand anything about family education!"

Cui Yingluo's expression remained unchanged, but she stood beside her aunt and served her tea respectfully. Her movements were graceful and flawless, which made Cui's unwavering face look more beautiful.

A smile.

Ms. Cui was originally impatient with Cui Po, who only knew how to make a sound, so she said in a nonchalant manner: "Yingluo is also my niece who grew up. What's the point of coming to see my aunt?"

Cui Po's face was a little confused. Cui's aura is indeed relatively strong. Her style of not changing her face despite the collapse of Mount Tai is simply not like a girl. It is also possible that she has truly reached the state of "being strong without sex"

.

And Cui Yingluo is also very smart. She just helps her aunt and future mother-in-law get a cup of tea and takes advantage of the situation without saying anything. She doesn't have the status to talk back to this uncle at all.

At this moment, Wang Wei came unhurriedly. His face was still pale after recovering from illness, but his temperament was elegant and gentle. The so-called "poetry and calligraphy in his belly" was the best thing for him.

Describes that no matter where you stand, you will suddenly become the focus of others.

When he saw the beautiful girl next to his mother, his expression changed slightly, and many memories came flooding back in an instant, just like watching an old movie——

A touch of pure white beauty.

The crescent moon when you smile.

A beautiful sound like wind chimes.

A strange yet common question.

"Avi Avi, why is the sky blue?"

"Avi Avi, why does the sun rise in the east and set in the west?"

"Avi Avi, what's the point of learning poetry, composing and playing the piano? How about we go to the mountains to see the rainbow together? By the way, how does the rainbow come about?"

"Avi avi..."
