Chapter 26 Hope Failed

When Mu Xieli woke up, he looked at the intact doors and windows, and his clothes were not in a mess, and the last stone in his heart finally dropped.

After washing up, Mu Xieli put on her makeup and was still wearing the sexy clothes from the brothel, with her breasts half exposed.

When she left last night, she didn't even go back to pack her things, she just focused on staying away from the fire pit with Cui Che.

Cui Che was used to getting up early in the academy, so he asked Miaorong to go out with two maids early in the morning to buy ready-made clothes for Mu Xieli.

The size of the body depends on the visual inspection last night. If it doesn't fit, it is better to buy another one than to let her wear revealing clothes in front of his eyes.

Although I am young in body, my mind has long since matured, so I cannot withstand such temptation.

After hearing that the maid came to report that Mu Xieli had woken up, Cui Che ordered the maid to send the ready-made clothes.

The warm sun in the winter dispelled the chill. Mu Xieli changed into a new set of clothes and wrapped her up tightly. Recalling Cui Che's glance at her chest from time to time last night, and looking at his behavior today, she couldn't help but smile:

What a precocious and cute young man.

Mu Xieli was about to go to Cui Che's courtyard to say thanks when he saw another maid coming in with breakfast.

After asking about Cui Che's situation, he found out that he had gone out with Pei Xiu. Mu Xieli then remembered that Cui Che had borrowed money to pay the ransom for himself last night.

Cui Che and Pei Xiu first came to Deng Guogong's mansion. After informing the steward of their names, they learned that Dou Wei had been punished by the family last night and was now recovering on the bed.

The steward came in to report the news, but it was Yang Xuangan who came out to pick him up.

He came earlier than Cui Che. He originally came to Dou Mansion to play with Dou Wei, but unexpectedly he came to visit Dou Wei.

"Wen Wei spilled the beans last night about going to a brothel, so he was punished."

Yang Xuangan suppressed his laughter and told Cui Che and Pei Xiu the reason.

He is much smarter. In the letter home to his father Yang Su last night, he only mentioned interesting things including Cui Che, Xu Menlixue, etc., but did not mention a word about the brothel.

Cui Che couldn't help but laugh. They entered the house with Yang Xuangan and came to the back room where Dou Wei was recuperating. They saw that the injury on his buttocks was not serious, but he was too embarrassed to see anyone. Cui Che was relieved.

He took out two money bags from his pocket and handed them to Dou Wei and Yang Xuangan respectively, but they naturally refused to accept them.

Cui Che winked at Pei Xiu, and Pei Xiu also took out a money bag and said to them:

"You can't let me take the money back by myself. You should accept it quickly, otherwise Ah Che will feel indebted and won't even be able to sleep well."

Yang Xuangan and Dou Wei saw that Cui Che was in high spirits and did not look like he was suffering from insomnia. But since even Pei Xiu accepted it, they also accepted it.

Dou Wei, who was lying on the couch, suddenly smiled ambiguously:

"Ache, you brought Mu back home, but you want to keep it for the future?"

Cui Che corrected him righteously:

"Don't talk nonsense. Mu is fourteen years older than me, so how could I have any unreasonable thoughts?"

Everyone in the room was doubtful, and Cui Che immediately changed the topic. The four of them chatted for a long time. Just when Cui Che was about to leave, Dou Wei dropped a piece of news that was completely bombshell for Cui Che:

"I wonder if you have heard that my cousin is planning to find a good husband for my daughter in Chang'an City."

Then he praised his niece, saying that she had been raised in the palace since she was a child and was the most beloved by the emperor.

His intelligence, knowledge, appearance and family background are all first-class.

He also asked Yang Xuangan if Cui Che was interested, and explained the problem to them, saying that his cousin had ordered someone to draw a bird screen, and whoever could shoot a peacock in the eye tomorrow would be his son-in-law.

When Cui Che heard this, he knew that this was going to be difficult. He had only been practicing archery for more than a month, and his ability was only to shoot the arrow on the screen. As for the specific part of the peacock he was pointing at, he had no choice but to rely on God's will.

He is only eight years old, why are he so anxious to get engaged? Can't he wait for a while to hone his archery skills? Brother Che hates this damn custom of early marriage.

On the side, Yang Xuangan is already inviting Cui Che to go with him tomorrow.

Just as Dou Wei said, based on the conditions of the Dou family girls and the emperor's love, who among the young men of the right age and their fathers would not be tempted. Cui Che was not the only one who was thinking about this woman, but the eleven-year-old Yang Xuangan was also interested in her.

luck.

Cui Che was reluctant to do so, and after some evasion, he still agreed to accompany Yang Xuangan on the trip.

After all, as a time-traveler, he should be the protagonist. Who knows if he will be lucky tomorrow and he will be chosen.

Of course, such a topic is not suitable for Pei Xiu, and Xiu'er felt a touch of sadness.

The three of them said goodbye to Dou Wei together and said goodbye to each other outside the house. After Cui Che returned to the house, he asked Miao Rong to accompany Mu Xieli to choose a berth. He bought Mu Xieli back. He was not a hidden beauty in the golden house. He had agreed to it in the first place.

If you want to give her a decent living, you have to do it naturally.

Worried that they would be bullied outside, Miaorong and Mu Xieli were assigned more than ten slaves to accompany them.

When Brother Che returned to the main courtyard, he immediately took up his stance and opened his bow to shoot birds.

As the saying goes, if you sharpen your gun in battle, it will be bright even if it is not bright. It will never go wrong to make more preparations.

In the afternoon, the news that Dou Yi will choose a husband for his daughter tomorrow has spread in Chang'an City. While Cui Che was resting, he was still looking forward to giving birth to sons in the future. When the eldest son was named Cui Jiancheng and the second son was named Cui Shimin, he heard that

Yang Xuangan came to visit and was waiting outside the house.

Cui Che immediately went out to greet him, but saw that Yang Xuangan looked unhappy, and what he said was like a basin of cold water, pouring a chill over Cui Che's heart.

"Ah Che, tomorrow's appointment is cancelled. Dou Yi said that he was looking for a good husband for his daughter, but he was only selecting people based on their family background. Only the children of the Duke's Palace were allowed to be selected."

Although Yang Xuangan's father, Yang Su, was highly valued by the emperor, he was only a county prince, and Cui Che was even worse, not even having a title.

Cui Che suppressed his frustration, comforted Yang Xuangan with kind words, and invited him into the house, but Yang Xuangan said goodbye and left. It was a big blow to be despised this time.

And Brother Che is not much better. Although he has never met the Dou family girl, Cui Che has even thought about the name of the child. Only now does he realize that he is not even qualified to cross the threshold, so there is no talk of queping.

Selected.

Back in the courtyard, Cui Che took Zhang Wu's saber and chopped the bird screen into pieces.

The servants and maids didn't know what madness the young man was in, so they all stayed away from him.

Cui Che looked at the mess in the courtyard and remembered this humiliating feeling in his heart. He did not resent the Dou family. Due to the noble status of the Dou family daughter, he, a Guandong scholar, could not covet her.

I had delusional thoughts before, but they were carried away by the temptations of Cui Jiancheng and Cui Shimin.

Cui Che has now fully understood his reality and situation. Yes, he was born in the third house of the Boling Cui family. For most of the people of Guandong, he is an unattainable existence.

But in the eyes of these Xianbei surnamed Guanlong nobles, as the winners of the East-West conflict, they were naturally higher than the Guandong gentry.
