Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen took the children to have a good time shopping, and they didn't go to the Cuju venue until it was almost time.
All the seats at the Cuju venue were sold out, but they still couldn't stop the steady flow of spectators. After they were turned away, they did not leave on the spot, but the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers.
There were people climbing trees, climbing walls, building human walls, and some even set up ladders... When Ye Zhenzhen saw this scene, she couldn't help but be stunned - it was just a Cuju competition, and these people were working too hard.
Already?
The government officials who maintained order began to drive away the group of spectators. The spectators fled in panic, and one young man almost fell from a tree.
Cui Weizhen frowned frequently and asked Zhou Wu to stop the government officials' actions - the Cuju venue was very big, and even if all the government officials were sent over, they might not be able to keep track of this group of people. Instead of trying to drive them away and cause casualties,
It's better to take defensive measures.
"Captain Yang, go and ask some doctors to take a look. If someone falls from a tree, wall, or ladder, the doctors can help him immediately." He paused, and then said: "Later, I will help you."
It’s a good warning line. Once the tickets are sold out, spectators will not be allowed to come near.”
Today is just a stop-gap measure, and it is not an option to continue to allow spectators to climb the wall to watch in the future. How can you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? It would not be good if something really happened.
Agent Yang is a rough guy. After hearing what he said, he responded respectfully, but in his heart he felt that the prefect was too kind to these unruly people. These unruly people should be taught a lesson.
.
However, the prefect's words were orders, and he had to go to the nearby area and invite several doctors.
After things were arranged properly, Cui Weizhen took his family into the Cuju field.
As soon as we entered the venue, a wave of heat hit us. The Cuju venue, which had not yet started the competition, was very lively. There were conversations everywhere, and some people were even nibbling melon seeds and eating snacks. There was no doubt that these were all.
It's the food that the cooperative merchants put out for sale.
In addition to the ordinary seats, the center of the Cuju field is also designed with distinguished seats. The price is naturally much more expensive than other seats. They are already full at the moment. Looking at the past, they are all local dignitaries and powerful people in Mingzhou Prefecture. Today's grand event, they also
Come join in the fun.
The arrival of Cui Weizhen and his entourage instantly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone present stood up and greeted politely: "I have met the prefect, Mrs. Ning Guo."
There were quite a few people on the high platform, including noble families such as the Yuwen family, former high-ranking officials and generals who had retired like the Wu family, local powerful families headed by the Zhao family, and Captain Jin Xiaoyang and his wife, the Lu family, also came.
.
The Lu family comes from a famous family. Even though the Fan Yang Lu family has split into two factions, the Lu family, who comes from a conservative background, is still a noble girl in the eyes of the world and is unattainable. She relies on her status to make friends with the local powerful families, and she is invisibly
It has the potential to become a leader.
Although Jin Xiaoyang is a guard general, he is very tactful and can make friends with all camps. He is quite able to have both sides. Especially the family members of retired generals maintain a friendly relationship with him.
Jin Xiaoyang smiled heartily when he saw Cui Weizhen: "The prefect is here too. I heard that this time Luming Academy is holding a unique Cuju competition. We are discussing when to organize a Cuju competition. Prefect, you can't be absent."
"
I remember that when we first met, Jin Xiaoyang directly called Cui Weizhen Cui Xiaodi. This is a very subtle title. In terms of age, Jin Xiaoyang, who is nearly 20 years older than Cui Weizhen, can indeed be called like this.
However, in terms of official positions, the two were on the same level. Cui Weizhen was still given the imperial title Jing Ningbo. Jin Xiaoyang's title was too arrogant and lacked some respect.
I don’t know what happened during this period, but Jin Xiaoyang actually changed his name.
Cui Weizhen's face didn't show any strange expression, and he smiled faintly: "I haven't practiced for a long time, so I feel a little rusty. Captain Jin's suggestion is just right. It can be good for all the officials from all departments to come and have some fun, and relax their muscles and bones."
"The magistrate's generosity is a blessing to all the officials of Mingzhou Prefecture."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion and a kind face. He had a gentle demeanor and seemed to have no sharp edges or sharpness. There was no clue that this man was the most powerful family head in the local area - Zhao Yuhuan.
Cui Weizhen raised his eyes and narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly: "Master Zhao is overly complimentary. I just fulfilled my duty."
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but look at Cui Weizhen. Outsiders would only think that Cui Zhifu was being humble and polite, but as the person next to her, she could hear the edge in Cui Weizhen's tone.
Could it be that the previous rumors were related to the Zhao family? She secretly kept a close eye on it.
Ye Zhenzhen was multitasking, paying attention to Cui Weizhen's chat while talking to the ladies present.
Mrs. Lu chatted with Ye Zhenzhen cordially: "Thanks to Madam's generous teachings, my little monkey boy has made a lot of progress recently. He didn't go out to see the excitement today and asked to stay at home to do his homework."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled slightly: "The golden girl is smart and diligent, and she is Mrs. Jin's blessing."
For now, Jin Yingxuan is pretty good. As for her mother... Ye Zhenzhen would not comment.
She was more willing to talk to Mr. Wei than Mr. Lu.
Wei is the mother of chubby Yu Wenqi. She is a graceful and low-key woman. She does not like to socialize on weekdays and loves to read. She is completely different from Ye Zhenzhen in personality.
It just so happens that people with different temperaments have a pretty good relationship.
At first, it was because of the marriage relationship between the Yuwen family and the Cui family, and then it was because of the children of the two families that they had many conversations. Wei had a gentle and tolerant temperament, and was a very good best friend. Ye Zhenzhen could occasionally date her when she was free.
She drank tea and chatted, so that she would not feel bored in this strange place.
Now the two are talking about the marriage between their two families.
"A letter came from the capital the other day. The wedding date of Brother Ci and Twelve Niang has been set. It will be August 20th next year. I wonder if you believe it, Niang Zhen."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded and said with some emotion: "I just got the letter the day before yesterday. Time flies so fast. When I returned to Qinghe and met my twelfth sister for the first time, she was still a little girl, and we were about to get married in the blink of an eye.
."
Mrs. Wei covered her lips with a handkerchief and chuckled: "Madam, she is still young, so why are she so moved? Just don't worry, our brother Ci has a kind-hearted nature and is the most considerate. This is
Ah, even Brother Qi’s father can’t compare to him.”
Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously looked at Yu Wenzong who was talking to Cui Weizhen. He had a handsome face and a handsome demeanor. His appearance was very similar to that of Yu Wenzhen. They were indeed cousins.
I have to say that the Yuwen family all have good looks, but the chubby little Yuwenqi will grow up to be a handsome man.
