It was all for her own son. When I saw that Master Cui had arranged for the escape of the eldest wife’s son, but her own son had to fight against the rebels, I felt very distressed. She also hoped that Master Cui could change his mind and let his son Cui Guang go with him. Qufu.
"Let go." Mr. Cui threw away the concubine's hands with an impatient look and said coldly, "Whoever left to resist the rebels, the incense of my Cui family cannot be cut off."
The concubine cried: "They are all your sons, sir, you can't treat one favorably over another!"
"I said, one of the two sons must stay. Do you want the eldest son of the Cui family to stay and die? Go back to your room." Master Cui said impatiently.
A legitimate son and a son born from a concubine naturally have different status in his heart. In a critical moment, a son born from a concubine can be sacrificed.
"Master, please, please give Guang'er a way to live. He is also your own flesh and blood, master!" I was not willing to give up on having a son, so I still knelt in front of Master Cui and begged.
The meat that falls off your body is your life.
"You vixen, you not only seduced the master, but also wanted to harm my Wen'er. I will tear you to pieces today." Mrs. Cui stepped forward and grabbed the concubine's hair and started tearing it apart in the main room.
Women are soft by nature, but mothers are strong, all for the sake of their sons.
Mrs. Cui and her concubine were fighting in the main room. Teacher Cui was out of sight and out of mind. He turned back to the east room and let the two women fight outside.
On the other side, Cui Wen, the eldest son of Cui, returned to his room holding the package he took from Master Cui.
Once inside, he opened the package.
I saw that it was full of shining gold leaves, which added up to more than a hundred taels. No wonder it was so heavy.
In addition to these gold leaves, there is a letter on it.
He knew that this letter should be addressed to the man named Kong Butler.
He put the letter back on the gold leaf and tied the package again. Then he called his book boy and took the luggage he had packed. The two of them went directly to the stable.
The distance from Xiaosongji to Qufu is not long, and it is impossible for two people to travel on two legs. , and he couldn't ride a horse, so he focused on his own carriage.
There is only one carriage at home that pulls people, and Mr. Cui usually rides it.
Cui Wen asked the driver to pull out the horse, put on the reins, and asked the driver to drive the carriage and pull him and the book boy to the earthen fort gate in the east.
When he had just left Cui's house in a carriage, there were shouts of murder coming from the west gate of the earthen castle. He was so frightened that he immediately asked the driver to hurry up.
To the east of the earthen castle is the territory of the Wang family, and those living nearby are also tenants of the Wang family.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the east gate of the castle.
When they arrived, the east gate was already wide open and there were no Wang family members nearby to guard it. Cui Wen only glanced at it and didn't take it seriously.
He just thought that when the Wang family discovered the west gate of the earthen castle, they escaped early, so he urged the coachman to hurry up and stay away from Xiao Song Ji.
The driver who drove the cart also knew that something had happened to Xiao Songji. He waved his whip vigorously and hit the animals pulling the cart to make the animals run faster so that they could escape faster.
The carriage was running fast, and the car was naturally bumpy.
Cui Wen and his book boy were stunned by the carriage, but they could only grit their teeth and endure it, regretting that they had not learned to ride a horse, otherwise they would not have suffered this fate.
Although it was dark, the coachman who drove the coach often went out of the city and was very familiar with the surrounding situation. He did not have to worry about taking the wrong road or running into a ditch and overturning the vehicle because of darkness.
The journey to Xiao Songji was very smooth, and the journey was also very smooth.
As the shouts of killing behind him became smaller and smaller, Cui Wen in the car secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that he escaped quickly, otherwise he might have fallen into the hands of the rebels by now.
How could I, a dignified scholar, have any chance of survival if I really fell into the hands of those thieves with vicious looks and hideous faces?
Call!
The driver suddenly pulled the reins and controlled the carriage to stop.
Cui Wen, who was sitting in the carriage unprepared, did not expect that the carriage would suddenly stop. His body uncontrollably hit the carriage and hit a big bump on his forehead.
"What's going on? Why did you stop suddenly?" Cui Wen scolded the driver with a dissatisfied look on his face.
The coachman replied: "As for the eldest young master, someone blocked the way in front of him, so the younger one had to stop."
"Damn it, how could anyone be here this late at night?" Cui Wen muttered unhappily, then he lifted the curtain and looked towards the front of the carriage.
Sure enough, several figures were seen in front of the carriage, all riding horses.
This startled him, thinking that the rebels had been prepared for a long time, and arranged for people to block here to prevent Xiao Songji's people from escaping in the chaos.
Immediately, I heard him say urgently: "Quick, quick, quick, turn around and go another way."
It is not as easy to turn a carriage around as it is to turn a horse around.
The driver of the cart controlled the animals pulling the cart and tried to turn the cart around.
At this moment, I heard a person blocking the front say: "My good brother, you saw your brother, why don't you get out of the car and say hello?"
"Stop." Cui Wen heard from the voice who was blocking the road, so he asked the driver to stop. He opened the curtain and looked at the people in front of him and shouted, "Second brother, shouldn't you be here right now?" Xiao Song Ji resisted the rebels, why are you here?"
However, Cui Guang said: "I'm not worried about you, my good brother. I stay here specifically to protect your safety, brother."
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
"Thank you second brother for your kindness. Brother Yu is fine. It's more important for second brother to go back as soon as possible to protect his father." Cui Wen said loudly, persuading Cui Guang to return to Xiao Songji.
Cui Guang laughed a few times when he heard this.
After the laughter stopped, he said: "Brother, you want me to die. Otherwise, let the younger brother take the rest of the way for the older brother. Brother, you go back to protect your father."
"Brother Fool has no power, how can he protect my father? Such an important responsibility can only be done by you, the second brother. If the second brother protects my father, the entire Cui family will be in your hands, second brother, in the future." Wen carried the Cui family out.
He knew that Cui Guang was just as concerned about the Cui family's property as he was, and the overt and covert fights between the two people over the years were all about the Cui family's property.
Now he has made it clear that he will not compete with the other party for the Cui family's property, and wants to exchange for Cui Guang's return to Xiao Songji.
"Brother is joking. The Cui family's property can only be inherited by the eldest son. If the younger brother knows his identity, he will never compete with him, so brother, feel free to go back." Cui Guang's mouth twitched with a sneer.
At this time, the other party is still showing off these little ideas.
Cui Wen saw that his second brother was not fooled at all, so he said directly: "How can the second brother be willing to get out of the way and let Brother Yu pass?"
"It's simple, as long as brother tells me where you want and what you want to do, brother, I will lead the people out of the way immediately." Cui Guang said with a smile on his face, but there was no smile at all on his face.
However, the two people were some distance apart and it was dark, so the people on the carriage could not see the expression on his face at all.
