Li Qingan was still a little dizzy when he left the Daming Palace. He has been in the Tang Dynasty for nearly two years. In addition to Li Bai and Du Fu, he has seen many celebrities, but he has never given him a feeling of expectation like today. Yang Guifei, a peerless beauty who has been passed down through the ages, actually wants to worship him as his teacher. It is exciting!

However, he received a new official position, the Nine Gate Inspection Envoy. This was not a formal official position, without a title or a salary, and was just a temporary position. This so-called Nine Gate Inspection Army was also temporarily formed, and troops were dispatched from the Ten Thousand Cavalry Camp under the ban.

Although his Nine Gate Inspection Envoy was directly under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of War was responsible for the removal of troops. Li Qing'an went to the Ministry of War again. Li Lin, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, told him that the Ministry of War had just received the order and it was difficult to mobilize troops for a while, so he would only hand over a team of one thousand people to him tomorrow.

Without soldiers in his hands, it is naturally difficult to exercise power, so Li Qingan had to postpone his appointment.

It just so happened that he had a social event today. Cui Ping, the deputy secretary of the Ministry of Rites, invited him to dinner. He took out the notes on his body and looked at the address. It was in Kaihuafang, close to Zhuque Street.

Li Qingan turned over and ran quickly towards Kaihuafang.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Qing'an rode his horse into the yard. He bought a few gifts in the yard and came to Cui's mansion.

Cui Ping's father passed away early. He lived with his uncle Cui Qiao since he was a child. In the first year of Tianbao, he passed the imperial examination and officially entered the officialdom. In a few years, he had already become the Wailang, the head of the Ministry of Rites. He married the daughter of Pei Ming, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, the two years ago, and got a son. Last year, he still lived with his uncle Cui Qiao. The house left by his father was taken away by his brother Cui Han.

It’s not that he didn’t want to start his own business, but that the housing prices in Chang’an were too expensive. During the Kaiyuan period, a middle house covering an area of ​​nearly three acres in Chang’an cost only more than one hundred guan. However, in the past two years, the housing prices in Chang’an have increased by five times. The same three acres of middle house requires more than five hundred guan to buy.

Cui Ping has been an official for only six years. Although he has rice, eternal land, and salary, the three items are still relatively small. After saving for several years, he spent nearly half of his time getting married last year. This year he married another concubine, and the family seemed to be inadequate.

When you are poor, you think about change. Cui Ping thought about it. If you want to buy a house in Chang'an or even get promoted, you will get an official in the local area. Although the salary in the local area is a little lower than that in Chang'an, there are more wealth and water in the local area. After a few years of officialdom, you can earn money to buy a house. Moreover, there are rules in the court that you do not serve in prefectures and counties and cannot enter the provincial and provincial platforms. In other words, you will not be promoted if you do not have the experience of becoming an official in the local area.

So Cui Ping asked his uncle to help him become an official, but this is very particular about being an official. Cui Ping is now a member of the Ministry of Rites and belongs to the lower rank of the sixth rank. If he is released, he will generally serve as the Sima of Zhongzhou or the Chief Secretary of the Xiazhou. However, both Sima or the Chief Secretary are auxiliary officials, not the chief officials he wants. But if he can be promoted to a half-level level, he will have hope of becoming a county magistrate in core areas such as Jingzhao, Henan or Taiyuan. Being a county magistrate in these places will not only be rich and easy to achieve political achievements.

In order to achieve the goal, Cui Ping has been searching for relationships in the past few months. Last night, in front of Yang Huahua's mansion, he suddenly discovered that Gao Lishi seemed to have a special liking for Li Qing'an. If Li Qing'an could help him say something in front of Gao Lishi, his wish would be easily fulfilled.

Early in the morning, in order to welcome Li Qing'an's arrival, Cui Ping began to prepare. He took out a day of sick leave. The family still had thirty cents of money. He took out five cents, bought wine and meat, killed fish and chickens, and mobilized his wife and concubines to clean the yard and paint the walls. When outsiders asked, he said he was preparing for the New Year. He took advantage of the opportunity of his concubine's shopping in the West Market to give her some more money and asked her to buy some cakes and fine powder, fulfilling her promise on her bed the night before.

"Zhengwailang, someone is looking for it outside!" The housekeeper of Cui's house shouted loudly outside the yard.

"Here is here! Here!"

Cui Ping rushed out like a gust of wind and asked nervously: "Old butler, is the surname Li?"

"That's it, that famous Li Qing'an."

Cui Ping was extremely excited. He had no time to tidy up his clothes and ran towards the gate like a goose. However, the housekeeper chased after him and shouted, "Menwailang, not at the door, but in the guest room!"

Cui Ping braked suddenly, shook his arms around, and turned around and ran towards the guest room.

The yard in front of the guest room was filled with maids and servants, and Li Qing'an was teaching a few teenagers from the Cui family to throw pots.

Li Qing'an raised an arrow and said, "To practice throwing a pot, the first thing is to find the feel, so you have to bring this arrow with you and touch it when you have time."

Several young men nodded as if they had some understanding, and the servants looked at their hands one after another. A maid smiled ambiguously and said, "You should take the arrow with you, and touch it when you have time." But her hand quietly touched the crotch of another young servant.

"By the way, I found the feel, and then practicing throwing the pot can achieve twice the result with half the effort, just like this!"

Li Qingan played a flower job, turned his back to the copper pot, and threw it back two meters away. With a "double!", the arrow shot into the pot with extraordinary accuracy, arousing applause in the yard.

"General Li!"

Cui Ping separated everyone and bowed to Li Qing'an and said, "I'm ready, General Li, please follow me!"

Li Qingan smiled and clasped his fists at everyone, "Okay, everyone, I still have something to do, so let's just teach you this first."

Several teenagers of the Cui family followed him reluctantly for a while. Li Qing'an smiled and waved to them, "Practice well! The world will belong to you in the future."

The eyes of the boys suddenly shone with light, and a world-class aura rushed to their foreheads and couldn't help but thrust their chests.

"Brother Cui, why is Cui Youcheng not in the mansion?"

Although Li Qing'an is a military position, he is a fourth-rank rank after all, two levels higher than Cui Ping. Cui Ping quickly said respectfully: "General Li, don't be polite. Just call me a lord. My uncle is on duty today and I will not be able to come back in the evening."

"So that's the case, you may not be able to see it today."

"Is there anything wrong with General Li looking for my uncle?"

"It's nothing, come to Cui's Mansion and always meet the master!"

While talking, the two of them came to Cui Ping's yard. As soon as they entered the yard, Cui Ping shouted loudly: "Madam, beautiful lady, come and see the distinguished guest quickly."

Li Qing'an looked at the yard. The yard was not big and was very tidy. There was a pile of chicken feathers and fish scales in the corner. An old locust tree almost covered half of the yard. Under the tree was a row of bungalows, about five or six houses, Cui Ping and his wife lived in one, his concubine lived in a side room, Cui Ping had a study room, a house of the ward and the servants, and a small kitchen.

In addition to wives and concubines, Cui Ping's family also had a maid and a wet nurse. When they heard the master shouting, everyone came out together.

"General Li, this is my wife Pei, the daughter of Mr. Pei from the Ministry of Justice."

A young woman bowed to Li Qing'an Yingying. It was obvious that she was a lady from a noble family with a gentle and gentle personality. Li Qing'an quickly handed over the finest spots he bought and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry, I have a little bit of my heart, please accept it with a smile!"

"General Li is so kind, please sit in the room!"

Pei handed the snacks to his concubine and quickly invited Li Qing'an into the house. The house had already packed a table of hearty wine and food. The little officials treated the guests with nothing more than chicken, duck, fish and meat, and a few bottles of good wine. Today Cui Ping paid the capital and bought a pound of expensive lychees from the fruit and vegetable store in the West City, which was a highlight of the wine table.

"General Li, don't be polite. Please sit there as you like, just pretend to be at your own home."

Cui Ping asked Li Qing'an to sit on the head. He sat on the right, his wife Pei sat on the left, but the concubine was not qualified to serve the table and was responsible for adding rice and pouring wine. Li Qing'an didn't understand this etiquette. He smiled and said, "Wangwailang, why don't you let the young lady sit down?"
