Upon learning that the Cui family had not yet gotten up, a neighbor hurriedly went to help and knock on the door.
Prefect Song stood at the entrance of the alley, looking amiable and friendly: "No problem, no problem. I heard yesterday that Zhao Zhi had committed evil deeds, and I was really indignant. I feel sorry that the people of Nanyang have been bullied and tortured by this man."
"Then I read the two poems "Songs of Pity for the Peasants" written by the young prodigy Cui Xian, and was moved to tears on the spot. I admired him very much. I am ashamed of myself for his literary talent."
"I never thought that such a child prodigy would emerge from Nanyang. This is truly a blessing for me and Nanyang!"
"So I came to visit my Nanyang prodigy without any greetings this morning. I couldn't hold back my excitement and came to comfort him. To be honest, I was a bit rude."
Now the people of Nanyang really like Cui Xian.
They were all extremely happy and excited to hear the prefect praising Cui Xian generously.
Wu Tongzhi next to him was not to be outdone. He also hurriedly started praising Cui Xian, wishing he could praise him like a flower.
Ye Huaifeng was amazed by what he saw.
It turns out that being thick-skinned is part of being an official. At least with his current limited "skills", he cannot say such shameful words.
While the prefect and a group of officials were waiting outside the alley.
Zhongjing Lane was naturally bustling with excitement.
Old man Cui was frightened the whole night. When he heard the noise and opened the door, he saw a group of officials outside. He was so scared that he wet his pants and tears came out.
Officer Lin was confused when he saw this, and asked anxiously, "Father-in-law, tell me the truth. Is the Cui family's previous suffering related to you?"
Old Man Cui trembled and said, "I...how could I have known that Old Cui's grandson was so powerful that he could actually overthrow Zhao Zhi."
Officer Lin's face turned pale: "You are going to kill our whole family!"
When his wife learned about this, she looked as if the sky had fallen.
As the saying goes: Some are happy while others are sad.
Old Man Cui and his family were terrified and desperate.
The Cui family was so happy that they felt dizzy.
She heard her neighbor shouting and got up in disbelief, her whole body shaking with confusion.
The county magistrate, the deputy magistrate, the prefect, and dozens of officials from the county and prefectural offices came to express their condolences?
Oh my god!
Even when my husband and father-in-law were still alive, there had never been so many officials coming to our house!
Old Cui was trembling as she went to each room and called everyone in the family.
"Mom, you're not drunk, are you?"
"What?"
Cui Boshan, Cui Zhongyuan, as well as Lin, Chen and others, all had sleepy eyes and open mouths.
Even Cui Xian was very surprised.
Then it became clear: This is a political show, and it has come to this very home!
But this matter is of great benefit to the Cui family and has no harm, and Cui Xian has also been secretly eyeing Zhao Zhi's mansion.
Therefore, he smiled and reminded, "Grandma, since the adults are already outside the house, we shouldn't keep them waiting for too long. Hurry up and wash up, change your clothes, and go out to greet them."
That’s absolutely right!
After being reminded by Xian'er, Mrs. Cui reacted and immediately arranged for the excited family to wash and change into decent clothes.
This is not a joke, it's a respect for the visitors.
About half a cup of tea passed.
The door of the Cui family finally opened.
Zhongjing Alley and its surroundings were already crowded with people watching the fun.
Someone immediately exclaimed with joy: "It's out, it's out!"
Old Cui took Xian'er and led the whole family out hurriedly to greet them.
But what happened next left the onlookers dumbfounded.
Then, Prefect Song, who was standing at the entrance of the alley, saw the Cui family coming out from afar. His eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell.
The prefect wiped the tears from his eyes, stepped forward quickly and said in a trembling voice: "I hope you won't be startled by my sudden visit. Who is Cui Jiaxian's brother who wrote the "Two Poems of Pity for the Peasants" and exposed Zhao Zhi's ugly true face? Come forward quickly so that I can take a closer look."
beside.
Wu Tongzhi was a little slow and cursed Song Zhifu in his heart for being an old fox, saying that the joke happened out of the blue.
But he was not to be outdone. He looked at Old Cui with a sincere and earnest gaze, his eyes slightly wet: "Old man, it was you who worked hard to cultivate the prodigy Xiange'er, right? On behalf of the people of Nanyang, and even on behalf of the poetry world of Daliang, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!"
hiss!
Hearing this, the people around were shocked and speechless.
Some sentimental people even shed tears on the spot.
The two old gentlemen truly love the people like their own children and appreciate and value talent!
I think it won't be long before the news of the prefect and the co-magistrate's earnest condolences to the child prodigy Cui Xian spreads throughout the entire Nanyang County.
Old Mrs. Cui, who was praised so highly, was so excited that she almost fainted.
How could she, an old woman, be involved in the poetry world of Daliang?
Only County Magistrate Ye Huaifeng stood there in a daze, stamping his feet anxiously.
He also wanted to go over and say a few words, but his cover had been blown, and now he felt ashamed when he saw the Cui family.
Second, the skin is too thin, and it is really impossible to perform such high-end operations!
