The two of them came to Tongyifang one after another. Because Xiao Liuzi had no horses, they could only follow Huahua and chased after her. So it took half an hour to arrive at Cui Zhongshu's house. Cui Po ordered Xiao Liuzi to wait in the hall, and then he followed the servants into the inner house.

Still at the steps in front of the hall, Cui Po heard a chanting sound from inside: "I can't change my mind and follow the customs, but I will be sad and end up in poverty." When I entered the hall, I saw Cui Youfu, the clan's uncle, holding a book in his hand, chanting in a wild voice. Looking at his expression, he was as happy as food, and he was extremely happy.

Cui Po knew that he was reciting "Nine Chapters of Crossing the River" by Chu Doctor Qu Yuan, but what made Cui Po depressed was that his clan man lived in such a big house and was crowded with people. He actually wanted to recite these two sentences. Aren't he afraid of a word becoming a joke?

Seeing that Cui Po walked in, he put down the book in his hand, and casually pointed at Hu Ting in the hall to signal Cui Po to sit down, then picked up his beard and said, "There are more than tens of millions of books in the world. In fact, you must understand the three parts of "The Analects of Confucius", "The Book of Songs", and "Chu Ci", and you can ignore the rest."

Although Cui Po didn't agree with his words, he could only show it on his face, and he could only respond only to it. After a while, Master Zhongshu sighed, he said: "The one who went to pay his birthday to Mr. Guo today is really a famous scholar, and he has gathered all the caps. You go with me, and you must pay attention to your words and deeds. Don't be arrogant and destiny. If you can perform well today, you can naturally become famous in one fell swoop, and you will avoid the trouble of traveling around and doing the visit."

"I'm sure I'm taught!" Cui Po replied with bowing and bowed.

No more said now, Cui Zhongshu made a little more appearance and brought four family members out. He was a Confucian orthodox and a noble in the court. He was most polite and demeanor, so he naturally could not ride a horse on the street. He lost his moral character, so he rode a horse. Before getting on the car, he saw Xiao Liuzi. He learned that he was Cui Po's book boy and had no horses, so he gave him a Shu horse for foot strength. This Shu horse was short and gentle, and was most suitable for women to ride. Although Xiao Liuzi was riding a horse for the first time, fortunately he was flexible and could barely follow him.

The group went east, went to Zhuque Street, and then went straight forward to the Daozhengfang opposite Xingqing Palace. As soon as they passed by one of the three gates in the south of the imperial city, they saw a pair of Shence soldiers holding spears and halberds sealing the east side of Zhuque Street, which made Cui Po puzzled, and also made Xiao Liuzi, who was following behind him tremble and almost fell off his horse.

Seeing Cui Po’s doubts, Cui Zhongshu poked his head slightly in his car and explained: “Today, when Lao Linggong’s birthday is over, Your Majesty specially issued the Jingjie Order. Except for the civil and military officials who celebrated the birthday, the rest of the people will go by. Alas! Since the founding of this dynasty, this is the first example. Guo Fenyang has won such an honor as a martial artist, which is not in vain for his fifty-year battle on the battlefield.”

After understanding the whole story, Cui Po was increasingly impressed by the "Magic Marshal of the World" who scared away the 200,000 Tubo soldiers with just the word "Guo Linggong" but what made him even more interested was how such a legendary figure "powerful in the world but not taboo; merits for a lifetime, but the master did not doubt; extravagant people's desires, but not criticized", thus becoming a rare powerful minister who had a great blessing and a great honor in the entire Chinese dynasty period. What was particularly rare is that this old general and assistant was mostly famous ministers, descendants and relatives, and the world was prominent. Within a family, such a noble man was not criticized by Confucian scholars. He really envied future generations.

After a while, after passing Pingkangfang, Cui Pozheng raised his head to the left to look at the towering Xingqing Palace in the palace. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It is here that the towering hall witnessed the glory of all nations coming to the court back then; it is also here; the elegant and high-end Li Xian was taken off by Gao Lishi, Yang Guifei grind ink, and swiped the wine to scare the man's books; it is still here that the eternal painting saint Wu Daozi was the Emperor of Xuanzong, and used one day to sprinkle the scenery of Jialing for three hundred miles, creating endless stories. However, the palace is still there, and these prosperous Tang figures who shine through the ages and have a high standard of wind and gods never return. Their departure ended the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, leaving only a dream that will always be admired by future generations and the pain of disillusionment that will never penetrate the bones."

"The prosperous Tang Dynasty... the prosperous Tang Dynasty..." Cui Po couldn't help but murmur. He was feeling the same way, but he heard Cui Zhongshu calling in the car: "Shiyilang, look at the door." Cui Po looked at it in response, and saw that the door of Daozhengfang not far ahead was wide open at this time. Big red lanterns were hung on the locust trees in front of the house. Even the Tongyang Gate of Xingqing Palace was the same, creating an extremely lively atmosphere. As the horses approached, Cui Po saw a middle-aged man wearing a big red auspicious suit and a fat face standing at the door.

"This person is Guo Yan, the most beloved prince-in-law of the eight sons and seven sons-in-law of the dynasty, and his wife, Princess Shang Shengping. Both of them are simple poets, so most of the famous literati in the capital often go in and out of his house. In the past ten years, almost half of the new Jinshi have become famous here and then they can pass the imperial examination. You will get closer to him later." Seeing Cui Po seemingly nervous, Cui Zhongshu smiled and said, "No need to do this. This person is the most straightforward and has no thoughts. You can do it with your nature. It's okay to use your little tricks at this time. It's just this time, you remember it!" After all, Cui Youfu has been in the officialdom for decades, and he also understands the way of adaptation.

He knew that Cui Po was not nervous, but he was just a little surprised to see the protagonist of the "Golden Branch". After arguing with the princess, he dared to scold him loudly: "Do you Yinai Father be the Emperor? My father disdains to be the Emperor, so he doesn't want to do it." Then he stepped forward and took the cheeks and naturally he should be a guy who spoke quickly.

While speaking, Cui Zhongshu and others had already arrived in front of the Daozhengfang. Guo Yan turned his chubby face and seemed to be surprised to see that Cui Youfu walked out of the car. Then he left the minor official of the Ministry of War who was greeting him, walked over in two steps, laughed and said, "My father is doing his birthday, but he didn't expect even Cui Zhongshu, who has never participated in the wedding and funeral of all officials, was shocked. He is so kind, so kind."

"I am the son-in-law Cui Youfu, the son-in-law of the Secretariat, and the son-in-law." Cui Youfu said after the ceremony: "Old Ling, the Gancheng of the Duchy Kingdom, is also the head of all officials. When I have such a good time, how can I not get it?" It turned out that Guo Ziyi was appointed as the Grand Marshal and also served as the Secretariat. She was Cui Youfu's immediate superior. She was just an old man and didn't go to court on weekdays.

The two of them exchanged a lot of greetings, and they never celebrated their birthdays. The most popular person in front of the prince and the famous cold-faced Zhongshu in the court came. Guo Yan was naturally happy, so his tone was extraordinarily intimate.

As the servants were all handed over, the manager of the mansion was placed in a villa to rest. When Guo Yan saw that there was a handsome young man standing behind Cui Youfu, he was looking at him with an interesting look, but he never knew him, so he asked, "What is this?"

"This is the foolish nephew Cui Po in Dingzhou. He is in the eleventh year of the clan. He is not as young as the one in the age of 1900. He has not yet obtained the name. He is the son who went to Beijing to take the exam this year. The son-in-law can just call him the eleventh Lang." Cui Youfu Shao said, and he was almost called Cui Pola in terms of title.

"Dingzhou...Cui Shiyi" Guo Yan murmured, as if he had heard this name, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. Behind him, a close maid who was serving the marquis walked up and whispered to him for a few words. He suddenly realized, changed his eyes and looked at Cui Po carefully and said, "You are the one from 'Fellow Lu Shao Mansion'. Well, I think you have the four words "A romantic talent". My princess is very happy with your lyrics, but it is not my appetite and is too soft." After saying that, Cui Po replied, turned around and ordered: "Go, report to the princess, the "when will the bright moon come?" she often said, and will naturally introduce her to her later."

Hearing this, Cui Zhongshu, who was always happy and angry, also had a smile on his face, but Cui Po smiled bitterly: "This person is indeed a quick talk. If he doesn't like it, he has to say it in front of many people at the gate.
