Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"It's impossible to have ten thousand hectares of good land, but I, the Boling Cui family, can still produce one thousand hectares of good land!"

Zheng Yuandao: "Why are you doing this? How can you lie because of the high authority in Pingyang County? Listen to me, you don't need to look at the deed, just take five hundred hectares!"

With a guilty conscience, his face was red and he was sweating!

Cui Jiuyan observed the words and expressions, and knew that Zheng Yuan had a ghost in his heart, and he became more determined in his original idea, saying: "Hmph, ten thousand hectares of fertile land? Just kidding. Man said that you can't get the deed, even if you can, it will never be Ten thousand hectares of fertile land!"

"Then how much do you say it says?"

Cui Jiuyan smiled and said, "Master Pingyang, do you want us to make a bet?"

"bet?"

"That's right, the old man will bet that you either don't have the deed, or the number on it will never exceed ten... twenty hectares! If the old man loses, I will lose to you a thousand hectares of fertile land! If the old man wins..." Cui Jiuyan After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I should not offend Guo Ye too much, and said, "Don't mention the matter of the land anymore, what do you think of the old man's gift of one hundred thousand guan money?"

Zheng Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Okay, that's the gamble!"

Cui Jiuxuan saw that he was so happy, his heart sank at first, and then he relaxed again in an instant. He thought to himself, this grandson is acting for me!Hehe, how could the old man be fooled by you, and said: "Mr. Pingyang, what do you think?"

Guo Ye recited a few words in his heart, "If you don't die, you won't die", and then said: "Empty words have no proof, does the old patriarch dare to use words as proof?"

"Why don't you dare?"

The two of them felt that the bet was sure to win, and after signing it, they were both refreshed!

Cui Jiuxuan folded his hands and said, "Mr. Pingyang County, please take out that deed?"

Before Guo Ye could express anything, Zheng Yuan couldn't wait to snatch the deed from Guo Ye, handed it to Cui Jiuxuan, and said, "Uncle Shi, please take a look!"

Cui Jiuxuan took the deed, and after looking at it for a while, the smile on his face froze, and he said, "A hundred hectares of fertile land? This...how is this possible? Zheng Feifei is made of gold, but it is only a thousand taels of gold. Why? Can it be worth a hundred hectares of fertile land? Duke Pingyang, you dare to sign this kind of deed... This must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!"

Zheng Yuan's face darkened when he heard this, and he said: "Uncle Shi, what are you talking about? Speaking of which, Feifei still has to call you Grandpa, and please keep your words! Why is she not worth a hundred hectares of fertile land? "

"Don't do this to me!" Cui Jiuxuan lost a thousand hectares of fertile land, his eyes were red, and said: "Don't say she calls me grandpa, even my granddaughter is not worth a hundred hectares of fertile land!"

"You're being unreasonable. People have to die to compare people, and goods have to be thrown away! My Zheng Yuan's daughter was born well, how can your granddaughter compare?"

"I..." Cui Jiuxuan wanted to refute, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "Mr. Pingyang County, I never thought that you are such a passionate seed. I misunderstood you!"

"Where, where. Thanks to your generous help this time, I can embrace everyone! It should be me thanking you!"

Cui Jiuxuan blushed, approached and said, "Pingyang County Lord, there is something I want to discuss with you!"

"what's up?"

"Do you still want to take a concubine?"

Chapter 1430 Cui Jiuxuan's rote memory (2)

"Old patriarch, what do you mean by that?"

"Mr. Pingyang, I, the Cui family of Boling and the Zheng family of Xingyang are both the five great gentry families of the Tang Dynasty, and they often have marriages. I am confident that the beauty of the women in the clan is not inferior to that of the Cui family of Boling! If you are interested... old man I can help you sort it out!"

Zheng Yuan's complexion changed, and he sneered, "Uncle Shi, as the patriarch of the Boling Cui Clan, you are not afraid of affecting your old man's reputation if you do this pimp business? Even if you are old and really don't care, you have to Think about Boling Cui's face!"

Cui Jiuyan straightened his face, and said: "Zheng Yuan, this is your fault! Duke Pingyang is a dragon and phoenix among people. It is normal for me, the Cui family of Boling, to marry him. How could it affect the Cui family of Boling?" Your reputation? Could it be that you, Zheng Yuan, are the only ones who can marry a daughter to Duke Pingyang, but I, Boling Cui, can't? It's really unreasonable!"

Guo Ye said: "Old patriarch, thank you for your kindness! But Guo has no intention of..."

"Don't refuse in a hurry! Let's have a look first, and then we'll talk! I promise it's no worse than that Zheng Feifei! Don't worry, our Boling Cui family's dowry will never open their mouths, just like Xingyang Zheng's. You don’t even need to pay, just return the document to the old man, and you can get ten or eight of them!”

Zheng Yuandao: "Uncle Shi, are you sure you have the same conditions as the Zheng family in Xingyang?"

"Let's talk!"

"But... the Zheng family of Xingyang once proposed that as long as the dowry of Duke Pingyang is one thousand guan, they can give him four daughters of the Zheng family. ?”

"Are you telling the truth?"

"If you don't believe me, let's gamble again?"

Of course Cui Jiuxuan didn't dare to gamble again, but he was unwilling to let him hand over the thousand hectares of fertile land like this, and said: "Pingyang County Lord, I am willing to admit defeat, and the thousand hectares of fertile land will be delivered to your mansion soon .but……"

"how?"

"Let's be a villain first and then a gentleman. It's not that this old man can't trust Duke Pingyang, but that this matter is of great importance, and this old man must give an explanation to the clan!"

"What exactly are you trying to say? Do you want to go back on your word? This is written in black and white..."

"Of course it's not repentance! It's just, is your document genuine? Naturally, the old man trusts you, but it's hard to say for other people in the clan... I mean, you have to give the old man some Time to check the authenticity..."

"How long do you want?"

"It will take half a year anyway..."

Guo Ye knew that this old guy was going to use the word "delay", and said: "Half a month, I can only give you half a month! If half a month is not completed... I will give up this bet." If it is made public, the reputation of your Boling Cui family may be..."

"Okay, just half a month!"

……

……

Cui Jiuxuan sent Guo Ye and others away, greeted them quickly, regardless of his old age and frailty, he whipped his horse and went straight to Xingyang!

Zheng Qingshan was quite surprised to see Cui Jiuxuan coming, and said: "Old brother, you are already old, if you have something to say, you can just send someone to say no, why do you still go there yourself? Could it be... that something happened What's the situation?"

Cui Jiuxuan said: "It has nothing to do with that matter. But this matter is not small, old brother, do you know Guo Ye Guo Ziyi, the Duke of Pingyang County?"

"Of course I do! This kid doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and the old man tricked him into making a mess! Haha! What? He's messed with you again, brother. Don't worry, brother will help you out! If you keep him stealing the chicken, you will lose a handful of rice!"

Cui Jiuxuan knew it was broken as soon as he heard it, and asked weakly: "Old brother, can you tell me, how did you make him a mess?"

Zheng Qingshan cheered up, and explained how Guo Ye came to propose marriage, how he was let go by himself, and how he signed the three conditions in the end, and finally said: "How is it? This old man is a series of steps. Make him submissive! This kid Guo Ye has been passed on like a god, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that!"

Cui Jiuxuan stomped his feet and said, "Old brother, you are really... Let's put it this way, it's not Guo Ye that you have harmed, but my younger brother..."

When Zheng Qingshan finished Cui Jiuxuan's story, his face changed, and he said: "So, the three conditions that the old man put forward, Guo Ye has doubled them tenfold, and you gave them?"

"Isn't it? Old brother, what kind of scheming is this! You don't harm the enemy, you only cheat your own people! You're doing it every step of the way. I think it's a trick every step of the way!"

Zheng Qingshan blushed, shirked responsibility and said: "My dear brother, to tell you the truth, I did not come up with this idea..."

"Then you just said..."

"I was just bragging to you. In fact, someone else came up with this bad idea. You can't blame me!"

"Who is that?"
