Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The small wooden stick in Cui Yixuan's hand was swung into a trail of afterimages, and each hit could accurately hit Cui Shenji and Cui Shenqing on the buttocks.

I have to say that Cui Yixuan is also good at dealing with naughty children.

Cui Shenqing was young and ran slowly, so he was beaten the most and begged for mercy repeatedly in pain.

"Dad, hit me a little more gently, I was wrong!"

"I promise to change my bad behavior this time and not go out and bully others!"

But Cui Yixuan seemed not to have heard it. The small wooden stick in his hand seemed to be able to find their butts and hit them every time.

Cui Shenqing ran out in sweat and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Brother, why do you always push me to the front?"

"My butt is almost broken!"

The eldest brother was really outrageous. He pushed him to the front several times to use him as a shield and let his father hit him with the wooden stick.

Cui Shenqing yelled, "Dad, it was my elder brother who ordered me to beat him up. You should punish my elder brother!"

"very scary!"

The young Cui Shenfu looked at his furious father and his older and younger brothers jumping up and down, his face full of fear.

After a long time.

Cui Yixuan threw away the small wooden stick in his hand, then sighed and said.

"Hey, since you all don't want to go to Jingzhao Du's, I can only find a reason to refuse!"

"This time, our Cui family has completely offended the Jingzhao Du family!"

As a member of a top family, Cui Yixuan knew very well how powerful the family's foundation was.

Even though the Jingzhao Du family has been badly dealt with by Du He, and there are few people in the court who can hold up the stage, their strength should not be underestimated.

Because these children from big families have received a very good education since childhood and have outstanding talents.

Even if they did not rely on family connections to become officials, they still had a great chance of passing the imperial examinations.

This is the core of the changing dynasties and the unchanging families.

Cui Shenji curled his lips, his face full of disdain.

In addition to his good brothers Du He, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai, he also secretly spent a large sum of money to support the prince, and is now considered one of the prince's core aides.

After the prince ascends the throne, his status and position will rise rapidly, and that will definitely surprise his father.

Thinking of this, Cui Shenji showed a sly smile on his face.

"Humph!"

Cui Yixuan was instantly furious when he saw that Cui Shenji did not repent and even dared to laugh in front of him.

He said angrily: "Rebellious son, you will send the wedding invitation back to Mrs. Du later!"

After saying this, Choi Yi-hyun stuffed the wedding invitation in Choi Shen-ki's hand, then put his hands behind his back and left the hall angrily.

Well...

"Let me go?"

Cui Shenji lowered his head to glance at the wedding invitation, then turned his head to glance at his second brother Cui Shenqing, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Knowing that his elder brother wanted him to go to the Du family, Cui Shenqing felt a chill on his back and he spread his legs and tried to run out of the lobby.

But his short legs were no match for Choi Shen Ki, and he was caught by Choi Shen Ki before he had run far.

"Second brother, go and return the wedding invitation."

Cui Shenqing shook his head violently and said, "Brother, I won't go!"

"Would you like to go if I give you 1 kan?"

"Brother, don't humiliate me with money!"

"Do you want to go for 2 kan?"

Cui Shenqing's expression lit up with joy, his eyes rolled around a few times, then he waved his hand and said.

"Brother, I'm not the kind of person who's blinded by money!"

Cui Shenji smiled and said, "Do you want to go for 3 kan?"

"Think carefully before you answer. This is Big Brother's bottom line!"

After hearing that his elder brother had raised the price to 3 guan, he originally wanted to ask him to raise the fee a little more, but he didn't expect that his elder brother could actually see through what he was thinking.

Cui Shenqing nodded quickly and said, "Brother, give me the money and I will return the wedding invitation immediately."

Seeing the second brother take on this job, Cui Shenji curled his lips.

You little brat, you still want to play this trick on him? These are all tricks he used before!

Cui Shenji took out three silver ingots and handed them to him, then said, "Finish the job honestly and don't cause any trouble for me!"

After saying this, Choi Sun-ki left the lobby with a grin on his face.

He hasn't gone to Sun Simiao for acupuncture today, so he has to go there quickly.

During this period, he felt a lot more relaxed and even more energetic than usual, which showed that Sun Simiao's diagnosis and treatment were effective.

Cui Shenqing weighed the silver ingot in his hand and was delighted.

"hey-hey!"

"Another 3 guan of profit for free!"

Under the envious gaze of the third brother Cui Shenfu, Cui Shenqing proudly put away the silver ingot, and then asked his servants to drive him out in a horse-drawn carriage.

...

Night falls.

The ancestral home of the Jingzhao Du family.

In the solemn and spacious lobby, more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly men sat on both sides, their faces full of anger.

Sitting on the high hall was a white-haired old man who looked decrepit and old.

Don’t be fooled by his withered appearance, he is Du Anshi, the current patriarch of the Du family!

A person who holds the lifeline of the Jingzhao Du family.

Duanshi leaned back in the chair at the back, a sinister expression on his wrinkled face.

He asked in a cold voice: "Which officials and noble families are willing to attend our Du family's wedding banquet?"

A moment of silence.

The middle-aged man in charge of inviting guests stood up and replied, "Clan leader, currently only the Jingzhao Wei clan, Boling Cui clan, Anping Fang, Jingzhao Duan clan, and Jingzhao Liu clan have sent their core members, and the rest have sent ordinary clan members."

"As for the ministers in the court and the people from other big families, they all went to the side of those three ungrateful wolves."

Upon hearing the news, the hall fell into deathly silence.

There was no other sound except the heavy breathing of the crowd.

There was silence for dozens of breaths.

The middle-aged man continued, "Before dusk, Cui Shi of Qinghe asked a 10-year-old child to throw the wedding invitation back!"

That's right!

When Cui Shenqing arrived at the Du family's gate, he threw the wedding invitation on the ground without saying a word, and then asked the servants to drive the carriage away quickly.

"Throw it back?" Du Anshi's brows raised. He said in a cold voice: "How dare the Qinghe Cui family humiliate our Du family like this? We must fight them to the death!"

The expressions on the faces of the other elders also became very ugly, and everyone clenched his fists tightly.

It is said that when a wall falls, everyone pushes it, but the high wall of their Du family has not fallen!

Another moment of silence.

The middle-aged man asked in a low voice: "Chief, less than 10% of the guests have arrived now. Should we still hold the banquet in the courtyard?"

According to the number of invitees they had originally set, they planned to set up hundreds of tables to make it more lively.

Unexpectedly, this group of people found all kinds of excuses to refuse, and even did not send any members of the clan.

Duanshi frowned and said, "Let's move the banquet venue from the big courtyard to the small courtyard, otherwise it will look ugly when it's empty!"

"it is good!"

The middle-aged man nodded in response.
