Wen Liang thought about it, it is true.
Instead of tearing up votes and offending members of Cui, "friendly negotiation" with Cui Chengyan seems to be the best choice.
"After all, my father is in charge of the Cui family, how capable is my stupid uncle?" Cui Chengyan said with disgust. "Maybe, this kidnapping farce is also caused by the mastermind behind the scenes. Hey, Liangliang, have you heard anything from Cui's house?"
He also stayed at Cui's house for some time, but he rarely saw Uncle Cui and Second Master Cui.
It is said that he went out to discuss business.
Therefore, if it is related to the first room and the second room, Wen Liang can only think of the gossip he heard in the small garden on the night when he was about to go into the dog hole.
"There seems to be nothing." After thinking for a moment, he said. "I don't usually see your uncle and second uncle in the inner house. I have met those two aunts a few times, but that was the only time I ran into them arguing about the uneven distribution of spoils in the small garden."
Thinking of this, Wen Liang made a lot of complaints: "Speaking of which, you two aunts are not easy to save money. The first aunt asked Aunt Hua to refund the money on the grounds that the bride is dumb, and the second aunt looked at her jealously and asked for a refund." Let's draw a fortune... It's really an eye-opener to be so blatantly making money in your marriage, and even arguing about it, not afraid that your mother will know about it."
Cui Chengyan knew as soon as he heard it that Wen Liang was talking about the time when he accidentally learned the truth about the fire in the academy.
"Liangliang is feeling sorry for money?" He stroked his chin and smiled. "My two aunts are like this. If the wild goose has to be plucked, if the money passes through their hands, it will definitely be less."
It's not his money, he feels sorry for the ghost.
Wen Liang directly ignored the first half of Cui Chengyan's words, and continued: "But after that, I haven't seen them quarreling. Does this mean that your two uncles have stopped recently?"
Oops, his silly daughter-in-law has grown up and doesn't want to eat this anymore.
"That's not necessarily the case, maybe they're plotting something big." Cui Chengyan shook his head and continued following his words. "The black hand behind this scene is very cunning. My two stupid uncles are just smoke bombs, pawns at the mercy of others."
Cui Chengyan was so sure, Wen Liang was a little surprised.
"Could it be...you don't have a clue?"
impossible?Cui Chengyan has been "stupid" for several years, is there no progress at all?
"It would be a lie to say there is no such thing," Cui Chengyan said with a hint of bitterness in his smile. "It's just that any clues will be lost when the uncle and the second uncle are traced. As for the person behind him, he is well hidden."
Hearing this, Wen Liang couldn't help but frowned: "Then how can I help you?"
Before agreeing to cooperate, he never thought that this is an unsolvable problem.
Seeing that he was so concerned about his own affairs, Cui Chengyan didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a while.
The happy thing is that Liangliang still cares about him as always, but the sad thing is that he doesn't know whether this kind of concern comes from the golden ten thousand taels or from the heart.
"Don't worry, you just need to continue to be your young mistress." Cui Chengyan said. "If I can go home safely this time, my idiot character will definitely not be able to hide. At that time, you can say that I was stimulated in the bandit's den, and returned to normal by accident."
"This..." Wen Liang was stunned by his proposal. "Recover if you say recovery, can it work? Won't it attract people's suspicion?"
The idiot character who has been pretending for so long, if you don't want it, then don't. In other words, Young Master Cui already has a new idea?
"Even if people suspect you, you're not afraid, there's Wu Xue." Cui Chengyan smiled easily. "With the seal of Doctor Wu, a sage in the medical field, how many people can suspect my stupid disease? I'm afraid that my two uncles will rush to contact the mastermind behind the scenes, just in time for us to continue to investigate."
Seeing Cui Chengyan strategizing, Wen Liang felt that his worries seemed a little unnecessary.
He is worthy of being the pillar of the people hand-picked by Mrs. Cen, who is impeccable and considerate in doing things.
It would be a pity for such a person to stick to this small Qingzhou city instead of going to the court to shine.
"Then... what happens after this?"
Cui Chengyan has thought so deeply, it is impossible that he has no back tricks.
Wen Liang looked at Cui Chengyan subconsciously, and saw a very confident smile on the other side's lips, and asked him: "How about I... how about going to be the champion?"
The exam will be in March of the next year. Although it is a bit late to go to Beijing to catch the exam, it is not too late.
"You... Aren't you not interested in taking the No. [-] Scholar exam!" Wen Liang looked at him in surprise, his eyebrows full of puzzlement. "Who said that there are more talented people than him in the world, so why do we have to fight in the Golden Palace to win the first prize?"
"Unexpectedly, I can remember what Liangliang said to me so clearly." Cui Chengyan laughed and looked back at him intently. "People are fickle. I was not interested before, but now... I am very interested."
He still remembered what Wen Liang and Liu Wuyan said before, since his silly daughter-in-law likes the champion so much, why not give it a go?The title of No. [-] Scholar cannot be given to Liang Liang, and the wife of No. [-] Scholar seems to be not bad either.
Seeing that Wen Liang still looked shocked, Cui Chengyan teased him on purpose: "Liangliang is so nervous, could it be... is it because he is afraid that I will steal Duan Yan's limelight?"
What he said was a bit tasteful, Wen Liang was very guilty.
"It's not!" Wen Liang was eager to defend. "It's just... a little surprised."
It was his fault that he underestimated the fickleness of young master Cui.
After all, Cui Chengyan is free to do whatever he wants, he can have one idea today and another idea tomorrow.
"Why did you suddenly decide to take the No. [-] Scholar exam?" Wen Liang asked. "Everything happens for a reason, don't try to fool me."
Once bitten, twice shy.Wen Liang was cheated so much by Cui Chengyan once, so in the future cooperation, he should be more considerate.
"Don't you like champions?" Cui Chengyan was still teasing him. "Then I'll go take the exam to be the number one scholar, and I'll let you live the addiction of Mrs. Number One Scholar."
No. 1 in the palace examination is called the number one scholar.This is the dream result of many scholars!Why is it that Cui Chengyan has become something that is within easy reach?
"Just talk and don't practice fake moves, you have to really pass the exam." Wen Liang couldn't help but rolled his eyes. "Don't talk nonsense, I never said that I like the number one scholar. Brother Duan is my future brother-in-law, I hope he will be the number one scholar, so that my sister will be the wife of the number one scholar. Is this wrong?"
"That's right." Cui Chengyan nodded seriously, as if agreeing with him. "Then Liangliang may wish to consider my suggestion. If he becomes the wife of the number one scholar, wouldn't it be more beautiful?"
Cui Chengyan really hurt his family by saying such shameless words in a serious manner.
After all, Wen Liang was a little tender, and suddenly blushed: "Enough! You and I are just in a business relationship, and I am not your real wife. This lady who is envied by everyone should be left to your future wife."
Speaking of this, Wen Liang recalled the plot that the storyteller often said, and deliberately said to Cui Chengyan: "Maybe... when you win the first prize, those dignitaries and even the emperor will rush to marry their daughters to you! The position of Mrs. No. [-] Scholar is a favorite, brother Zixing, the future is boundless!"
Cui Chengyan was not annoyed by this naked run.
He looked at Wen Liang, pinched his nose and said, "Oh, why is there such a sour smell. Eh? Liangliang, do you also like to be jealous?"
"Brother Zixing, if you have a problem with your nose, you have to see a doctor." Wen Liangnan replied unceremoniously. "While Dr. Wu is still there, go to him for treatment. If you don't treat a minor illness, it will become a serious illness."
Wen Liang spoke so confidently that Cui Chengyan couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
"That's right, Liangliang has made progress, and finally he won't be at a disadvantage with his mouth." Cui Chengyan said with emotion. "It's been a long time since I've had the feeling of meeting an opponent. I'm very pleased."
In an instant, Wen Liang seemed to have an illusion——
Young Master Cui, who is seeking defeat in Dugu, doesn't have a few friends, right?
Otherwise, how could you take pleasure in bullying people!And always like to tease him!
"Brother Zixing, you have given me so many suggestions, so let me give you one suggestion as well."
Wen Liang looked at Cui Chengyan very seriously, and the word "sincerity" seemed to be engraved in his eyes.
"The book says think twice before acting, but I think you mean think twice before speaking."
"Don't be so mean when you speak in the future, so that you won't always feel overwhelmed at the top."
☆
Just as Cui Chengyan expected, within half a day, Bao Tianlei released them from the woodshed.
"Young Master Cui," Bao Tianlei cupped his hands at him, "you'll be fine."
Wen Liang is very disdainful of Bao Tianlei's hypocrisy.
She is obviously a bandit, but still pretends to be a gentleman. It's really disgusting to be a bitch and set up a memorial archway.
After being imprisoned for a whole night, and then suffering from an attack of non-phase residual poison, Cui Chengyan's complexion was actually not very good.
"Ahem..." Cui Chengyan coughed, his voice hoarse. "It is said that the second leader is a smart person, so he should have thought it through this time, right?"
Sure enough, Bao Tianlei was very concerned about Cui Chengyan's cough.
He frowned, thinking to himself: This spoiled and spoiled rich man really can't bear it, he caught the wind and cold after only one night, it's really vulnerable.
"We are all smart people, so let's not talk about those polite words." Bao Tianlei sneered and went straight to the point. "Tell me... how much silver is the only son of Cui Yuanwai, the richest man in the city, worth?"
Cui Chengyan looked at him and smiled slightly: "How much does the second master want?"
"Your uncle is willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold in exchange for your life." Bao Tianlei said. "I think... Young Master Cui should know that too, right?"
Golden ten thousand taels... This is the second time Wen Liang has heard of so much money.
He couldn't help thinking, how rich is Yuanwai Cui?Cui Chengyan also said to give him ten thousand taels of gold. Although he didn't take it seriously, Uncle Cui also promised to give ten thousand taels of gold to Bao Tianlei, which means that Cui Yuanwai's family property must be more than one or two ten thousand taels of gold...
This Cui Chengyan... Where is the walking human-shaped purse, it is clearly an inexhaustible bank!There are rumors in Qingzhou City that Cui Yuanwai's family property is worth half of the national treasury, and Cui Chengyan's grandchildren may not be able to spend it all!
"Oh, my uncle is quite generous." Cui Chengyan hooked the corners of his lips and smiled a little. "But my life is worth more than ten thousand taels of gold?"
Although he expected that Cui Chengyan would raise the price, Bao Tianlei was still out of breath and asked hurriedly, "How much is that!"
In front of money, worldly desires are fully revealed.
Cui Chengyan raised a finger and said leisurely: "I am the only one in my family. My life is worth half of the Cui family."
"Second Master, are you satisfied with this answer?"
Instead of tearing up votes and offending members of Cui, "friendly negotiation" with Cui Chengyan seems to be the best choice.
"After all, my father is in charge of the Cui family, how capable is my stupid uncle?" Cui Chengyan said with disgust. "Maybe, this kidnapping farce is also caused by the mastermind behind the scenes. Hey, Liangliang, have you heard anything from Cui's house?"
