I do research in ancient times

"Ah... Mo Zongji, would you like to see me?"

"Lang Jun," Na Chang Sui saw that his master was irritable, and he was also anxious in his heart, so he couldn't help but whispered admonishing

"If you don't see it, let's see it. After all, when we came to Ding'an City, the Feng family didn't give us any good looks."

"The people in the frontier fortress don't know etiquette, so it's better to know etiquette in Nanjun. It's really useless to get angry with them."

"You..." Cui An turned his head and glanced at Chang Sui, with a look of hatred on his face.

"You... you, oh, you've been with me for so many years, have your eyesight grown to a dog?!"

He sighed and pointed to the window.

"Aren't you still living in the dream of being the number one in the world in Nanjun, and you don't have to open your eyes to see the world! Just look for the glass window in front of you, but you can find it for me. Is there any family in Nanjun that can afford this thing!? You still Do you think the border town is the dilapidated and desolate barren land?!"

Chang Sui was blushed and tongue-tied for a long time, unable to let go of the sense of superiority in his heart, and muttered in a low voice.

"Then...then this is not an inn...The Feng family built it to entertain outsiders, so they have to give face."

"Besides, glass is not a rare thing, as long as you can afford it..."

Having said this, he was made guilty by his husband's eyes, and gradually lost his voice.

Colored glaze is indeed not a rare item. Hu merchants from the Western Regions often traffic in some colorful glazed products. Although the selling price is high, it is not really impossible to buy.

But if you say that you can buy such a smooth, transparent, thin and integrated colored glaze with money, then you are really bragging, searching all over the world, Ding'an City is indeed the only one here.

And it's not just a post station for foreigners. At this intersection where their activities are restricted, there are not a few people who install glazed windows on their houses, let alone wealthy families who build glazed flower houses in their courtyards. From a distance, it looks like the Crystal Palace in the story.

If the price of glass bottles purchased by Hu merchants is true, then the residents of Ding'an City are all rich

In fact, Chang Sui knew clearly in his heart that what his husband said about Liuli Chuang was just a random example.All the way from Nanjun to the border town, they thought they would see the gradually desolate and decaying city and displaced refugees.As a result, as soon as you set foot on the land of the border town, the fields are fertile, the villages are comfortable, the smoke is rising from every household, and the children after school are reciting nursery rhymes in a decent way. How can there be any sense of ruin?

Not to mention the rare things in Ding'an City, such as mercury mirrors, cement houses, oil mills, flower soap... But these things are not only luxury items for dignitaries, but common people can afford them.More than once, Chang Sui saw a rickety driver returning home from work, carrying an oil bottle to the oil shop, and carrying a knife of meat and a large piece of yellow soap in his hand.

Although yellow soap is not expensive in Nanjun, it is not something ordinary people can afford, meat and oil!

This city is actually so rich? !

This cognition is often unwilling to believe from the bottom of my heart.

Everyone in the world knows that Nanjun is rich and prosperous, and those who grew up in Nanjun have a natural sense of superiority.Nowadays, the border town, which has always been looked down upon, has vaguely surpassed one of them, which makes the hearts of the people in Nanjun inevitably sour, and the words they say are also somewhat yin and yang.

"Lang Jun, it's not that I don't speak well. With this posture, the Feng family is only guarding against us!"

Often complain in a low voice.

"You don't know, I was stopped by people before I left the alley that day. They were all fierce in bunts, and they all had bad faces. When they came up, they said that they were frontier soldiers, and they wanted to inspect the letter bucket you handed over to me."

"I don't know where this group of people came from. Naturally, they rose up to resist. Unexpectedly, those soldiers were very rude. They twisted my arms and pressed me to the ground. Even the guards given by Master Azuo were also blocked Stop it, don't save any face!"

Having said that, Chang Sui paused for a moment with a look of resentment.

"Listen, is this the way to treat guests? The Feng family clearly treats us as spies!"

Hearing what he said, Cui An glanced at Chang Sui and said nothing.

This kid has been with him for most of his life, there is nothing to say about his loyalty, but he is a little bit talkative, and he has a very good face.

The arrangement of the frontier army must have been hated by him, and he would make a slander from time to time.

Fortunately, he, Cui An, is not a person without his own opinions, and he will not change his mind just because someone around him utters a few words.He could understand that the Feng family was wary of him. After all, last time Lu Shiwen went to the border town, he brought a lot of dead soldiers. This time before Lu Tao left, he specifically mentioned about Mo Zong.

Cui An, the legend of the twins, also knew that as the head of the Lu family, it was natural for Lu Tao to eradicate the ominous scourge for the family. Based on his understanding of the old boy, he would definitely use all means, and would not take any chance. let go.

But from Cui An's point of view, Ah You is the flesh and blood of his sister, a child who was tortured and hurt since childhood, so he naturally needs to take care of him as an uncle.

To be honest, Cui An is happy to see the success of the Feng family trapping the Lu family members in this inn.His entourage and servants along the way are all Lu Tao's people, only Chang Yihe and a few personal guards given by A Zuo can be trusted.

A Zuo is the child he watched grow up, A Zuo only has his close mother clan, A Zuo will have no problem.

Waiting and looking forward day by day, Cui An finally got the message from Jiuling City.

Early in the morning of this day, a messenger from the Feng family came to the door.Cui An couldn't wait to open the envelope when he saw the letterhead presented by the other party, and his heart beat a few beats unconsciously.

In the process of reading the letter, his hands kept shaking, his face could not hide his excitement.

"But really?"

"Naturally."

The visitor looked calm.

"If Mr. Cui Lang is willing to attend the appointment, you can leave now."

"Now?"

Chang Sui frowned slightly.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Let's go, we have to give us some preparation time..."

Before he could finish his muttering, he was interrupted by the envoy from the Protectorate of the Capital.

"There is no need to prepare. If Mr. Cui Lang wants to see him, he can leave now. The governor has a word that Mr. Cui can only go alone, and no one else can follow him."

As soon as these words came out, Chang Sui's face became even more ugly.

"Only my lord is alone, you are too deceptive..."

"can."

Cui An suddenly spoke up.

As he straightened his clothes, he raised his head and asked.

"Let's go now, I don't have much preparation."

"Lang Jun!"

Chang Sui looked shocked.

"Then I..."

"Just wait at the station, I don't need you here."

As he spoke, he was about to walk out the door when Chang Sui suddenly grabbed his robe sleeve.

"Lang Jun, the Feng family only let you go to the appointment alone. I'm afraid the visitor is not kind, so it's better to bring a guard..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cui An flicked his sleeves with a cold expression.

"When your lord needs you to teach, it doesn't matter whether it's serious or not."

After speaking, he quickly stepped out of the gate, and under the eyes of all the Lu family's followers, he went straight into the carriage of the Fengfu.

It was probably Ah You's intention to let him see Ah You. It seems that Ah You has a lot of importance in the Feng family.

With this understanding, Cui An became more and more nervous about this confession.

From time to time, he had to tidy up his appearance, and silently shook his head and sleeves, fearing that his first appearance would disappoint his nephew, and he didn't even pay attention to the situation outside the car along the way.After he reacted, he found that the carriage had left Ding'an City and was walking on an unknown path.

He wasn't in a hurry.

As long as the Feng family agrees for him to meet Ah You, everything will be fine.

A group of them are now living in the inn, and they can't even go out of the street. If the Feng family really has malicious intentions, there is no need to send him out alone, and they can block the news by doing it directly in the inn.

After all, the world is chaotic now, and the imperial court has existed in name only, so whoever has the hardest fist has the final say.If Feng Bosheng really chopped off Cui An's head, Cui and Lu's family would curse at most, and now is not a good time to take revenge for him.

And Cui An is quite satisfied with Feng's family's thoughts.After all, it was the Lu family who escorted him here. When Lu Shiji came, it was said that he had brought half a boatload of dead men with him, and he was caught by them as soon as he landed.He obviously came to the door under the pretext of asking for a marriage proposal, but in the end he played some tricks in private, and this time it was the same excuse, so people should be on guard.

Thinking of this, Cui An felt more at ease, and was in the mood to look at the scenery outside the car.

Only then did he realize that he was walking on a flat path, and the carriage was driving very smoothly without any bumps.

Cui An pressed the seat and found that it was no different from his family's carriage. The supporting cushions and footrests were the most common wooden boards, which were not as gorgeous and comfortable as his family's.

Could it be the wheels?

Cui An's gaze was fixed on the brown wooden wheels under the car.Speaking of which, the outer layer of the wheel is covered with leather glue, which is dark brown, and it seems to be much lighter to walk on than ordinary wooden wheels.

There was a pothole just ahead, and Cui An felt it carefully, and found that when the wheels fell, the car body was raised high instead, smoothing the impact of the bumps just right.

This...is really strange.

Cui An stroked his beard.

There are so many secrets hidden in a small carriage, it seems that Ah You's Mo family is really good.

Thinking this way, the carriage drove all the way into a small mountain village.

The village is not big, and there are several concrete bungalows built in it. The vital points in the village are closely guarded by soldiers, and the security is very strict.

Cui An was led into an open courtyard. When he entered, he saw a young man in green standing not far away.

Cui An was immediately excited, calling out in a trembling voice.

"Ah... Ah Yu?"

The opponent didn't move, Cui An took a few steps forward, reaching out to grab the opponent's sleeve, but stopped at the last moment.

He took a step back and cupped his hands at the man.

"Under Cui An, Nanjun Cui, met Mo Zongjuzi."

The boy scratched his head, turned around, and smiled awkwardly.

"Cui Langjun, I'm not a juzi."

Cui An took a closer look, only to realize that he had really admitted the wrong person.

The baby in front of him has a young baby face, thin eyebrows and dark skin, and is obviously much younger than Ah You.

He was a little disappointed, he responded with a sarcasm, and asked again.

"Do you know where Mo Zong Juzi is?"

Yu Xin stared at the middle-aged man in front of her for a while, then shook her head.

"Juzi has something important to do at the moment, so I can't attend the appointment today, so he ordered me to come here and apologize to Mr. Cui Lang."

Hearing what he said, Cui An's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

He didn't expect that Ah You refused to meet him even though he had already agreed to the invitation!

Maybe something really happened.

Cui An closed his eyes, thanked the boy softly, and was about to leave when he saw the boy take out a letter from his arms.

"Juzi ordered me to hand it over to Mr. Lang."

Yu Xin handed the envelope to Cui An and said seriously.

"Jizi said, I am sincerely grateful for Cui Langjun. There are many interesting things in Ding'an City, Cui Langjun might as well stay for two more days, and we will see each other later."

Saying that, the young boy waved to him and left the courtyard quickly.

He didn't go far, turned straight into the alley next door, and pushed open a courtyard door.

This courtyard is connected to the one where Cui An is located, just around the corner is the North Hall facing the courtyard.Ning Fei stood in front of the window, staring at Uncle Cui who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard reading the letter, with a solemn expression.

From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of really taking the risk to meet Cui An.

No matter how sincere Uncle Cui wrote in the letter, Ning Fei always remembered that he was the representative of the Nanjun family, and those who came with him were Lu Tao's eyes and ears.His willingness to come alone shows that the uncle himself is sincere.It's just that how much of the sincerity is a temporarily dormant illusion, and how much of it comes from the reality of seeking relatives, this remains to be seen.

Even if Uncle Cui had no malicious intentions, he couldn't guarantee that the people around him didn't get involved, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the Lu family anymore.The reason why Yu Xin was asked to send a letter to Cui An was to let the original body give up his obsession with the appearance of a real person.However, the effect was not as ideal as he expected, at least the moment he saw Cui An, he once again felt the desire and expectation from the bottom of his heart.

For a moment, Ning Fei almost opened the door and walked out of the house, and went out to meet Cui An in person!

Fortunately, at the last moment, his own reason still defeated the sudden surge of emotion.Ning Fei pressed his throbbing forehead, and gave Yu Xin a signal to follow the backup plan.

So, there was that letter.

The letter was written by Ning Fei before, and it didn't actually write any serious words, but it just expressed the anger of being abandoned and the gratitude to the matriarchal relatives in a slightly fierce tone.

Ning Fei's handwriting was slightly scribbled, with sharp strokes, but it was very consistent with the mood of a young man who was mistreated.He seems to be brooding about his own experience, obviously he is the direct son of the Lu family, but he was abandoned by his family and relatives just because he was born late.When he was struggling to survive in a border town, his lucky brother enjoyed the resources and care given by the first family of Yechao, which was very unfair to the twins.

At the end of the letter, Ah You made an unexpected request to Cui An:

——He wanted to meet his brother A Zuo, but would Uncle A Zuo be willing to make it happen?
