Chapter 441 Aftermath
The three dukes stopped talking and looked at Xiahou Bushen. As soon as they got off the court, the old master rushed away in anger. Xiahou Bushen naturally left with him. Now seeing him returning, it was obvious that the old master had something to explain.
"Ling Gong, Taiwei, Xie Xianggong." Xiahou politely bowed to the three of them without hurting the guest.
The three princes were all considered elders of Xiahou Bushu and his superiors, but Xiahou Bushu Bushu was the heir of Xiahou Ba and was the great master on the list of heaven. Naturally, the three of them would not be entrusted with him, and they were all politely treated Xiahou Bushu.
"Grandpa Xiahou, is the old master who has something to give?" Xie Xun asked softly.
"Yes, my father asked me to bring me a message to the Taiwei and Xie Xianggong." Xiahou looked at Cui Yan apologetically and said to the other two: "This time the matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to be accused of this. Therefore, the one million stones of grain from Pei and Xie Jia will be brought out by our Xiahou Jia."
"Oh, why are you so embarrassed?" Pei Qiu was overjoyed, which solved his urgent need.
"Thank you, the old teacher and Xiahou Gong were in a timely manner. I thank the Jin Ming for his help."
Of course, Xie Xun was also very happy. Although the millions of stones of grain that Xingluo Cang were deficient in was the stolen goods that he and Xiahou Ba shared. But who would think that he had too much food? Moreover, the Xiahou clan was willing to give him food, which means that the old master no longer cared about the fact that he had caused trouble in the east.
Thinking of this, Xie Xun felt that he had to show some performance, so he asked Xiahou for helplessness and said, "By the way, where is Cui's family, what about the old master?"
"My father has not mentioned it." Xiahou Bushen shook his head and bowed to Cui Yangong with a wry smile and said, "You are the one who said goodbye."
When Xiahou left without injury, Pei Qiu patted Cui Yan on the shoulder and comforted him: "Who asked you to compete with the old teacher? I'll accept it this time."
"I think you quickly settle the engagement with someone named Lu. If the old teacher calms down, he will naturally treat everyone equally." Xie Xun also pretended to be kind.
"Oh, think about it again, think about it again..." Cui Yan knew that the old master did this to make people laugh at him. It was a very important warning. He scratched his gray hair and smiled bitterly: "Now you are free, and I am too lazy to cry with you and go home to raise food."
After saying that, he bowed to the two of them and walked towards his carriage.
Pei Qiu and Xie Xun looked at each other and were both gloating.
.
Cui Pingzhi had been waiting by the car for a long time. When he saw his father coming out, he hurriedly helped him into the car.
When Cui Yan sat down in the carriage, Cui Pingzhi reported softly: "Just now, Lu Xiu told me that this incident was caused by the land fence, and they helped us get out the 500,000 stones."
"Oh? The landlord is so generous?" Cui Yan knew that the landlords had not had a good life in recent years. In autumn, the scene of each of the valves coming to the door to cope with debts is still vivid in my mind. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he could easily take out a million stones of grain.
If he hadn't known that Lu Xin was an honest official, he would have thought that this was greedy disaster relief food.
"Who knows. But it's always good for them to be willing to feed us." Cui Pingzhi smiled and said, "Besides, if it weren't for his father's help, how could Lu Xin pass so easily?"
Cui Yan nodded slightly. Although he asked Gongsun Quan to report to His Majesty directly, he actually wanted to stay out of the matter and not cause and effect. However, he did not expect that he would turn the situation around in a sudden misfortune. Now even his son thought that he was secretly helping.
No wonder the old teacher can't wait to give himself a warning.
This is really a matter of human calculations, but God’s calculations. Could it be that the Lu family’s father and son are really lucky?
"What did you say?" Cui Yan didn't explain and asked softly.
"Of course, the child cannot make decisions without authorization." Cui Pingzhi said: "After thanking the Lu family for their kindness, he said he would ask his father to decide."
"What do you think?" Cui Yankao compared his son.
"I just thought about it. Let's tighten it a little bit. At the end of the year, we can still squeeze out 500,000 stones." Cui Pingzhi said softly: "The Lu family's grain is hot, and it's not good to take it. Why don't we refuse."
"No, you have made progress." Cui Yan glanced at his son with praise, and then changed the subject: "But you only know one thing, not the other."
As he said that he told Cui Pingzhi that the Xiahou clan had humiliated himself in public, and said, "If this hadn't happened, we shouldn't have wanted the land clan's grain, but now the old teacher slapped me in the face. If I don't dare to ask for this grain, wouldn't I lose all my internal and external affairs?"
"What my father meant is, we want it?" Cui Pingzhi asked with some uncertainty.
"Of course I want it." Cui Yan said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, the people in the world really think that our Cui family is a vassal of the Xiahou family. I want me to let Cui Yan take his breath and wait until Xiahou Ba becomes the emperor."
"This won't backfire, right? The old teacher had a lot of opinions about us..." Cui Pingzhi asked in a low voice.
"It is to ask the old master to know that Cui Qi has a temper and has his own opinions, so that he will not control us casually anymore." Cui Yan said in a deep voice, and lowered his voice: "We Cui Qi is not ten years ago, but now we have neutral capital. I want to be close to him. This is the most beneficial state for our Cui Qi."
"Yes." Cui Pingzhi seemed to understand something but not. Cui Yan's words were meaningful. With his current level, he still needs to be carefully studied to understand it thoroughly.

Xiahoufang, Lingyuntang.
As soon as the old teacher came back, he broke his favorite Tianmuzhang and paved back and forth in the hall with anger.
Xiahou Li, Xiahou Lei and Moro did not dare to say much, so they could only look forward to Zhu Xiuyi coming over quickly, trying to calm the lord's anger.
Fortunately, Zhu Xiuyi didn't let them wait for a long time, and soon he walked into Lingyun Hall with a string of kites.
"Lord," Zhu Xiuyi saluted Xiahou Ba.
"Sir, I'm here, please help me learn more." Xiahou Ba was full of questions. Now he found a person who understood. "It's really a damn thing. Could it be that the person named Lu is a god who came down to earth and could actually attract the dragon to rescue him?"
"Haha, my lord is too worried, but it's just a trick." Zhu Xiuyi handed the kite in his hand to Xiahou Ba.
Xiahou Ba took it and saw it. It was a 'dragon head centipede string', and suddenly realized it and said, "Sir, is that the fire dragon just a kite?"
"Of course it's the case." Zhu Xiuyi smiled and said, "Although the students have not seen each other in person, I think they should look very similar to this one, but they are much bigger."
"The brave man surnamed Lu dares to tell such a big lie?" Xiahou Li said angrily when he heard this: "Brother, hurry up and take the things to Ziwei Palace, and see how Huangfu Yu can protect him!"
"It's too late." Xiahou Ba shook his head dejectedly and said, "There are public opinions now. Even Huangfu Yu didn't care about his decency and personally lie to Lu Xinyuan. I will only rely on this..."
