Chapter 64 Facing the Legend

Chapter 64 Facing the Legend
In the room of the other courtyard.

Cui Shuyun was completely stunned when she saw the legendary figure Zhao Yuguang in front of her.

Cui Shuyun had seen Zhao Yuguang's portrait at Cui's house and recognized Zhao Yuguang when he arrived.

Moreover, Zhu Chengwu's address of "grandfather" just now has already made Zhao Yuguang's identity clear.

Although Cui Shuyun was initially reluctant to marry Marquis Fu'an.

But after Cui Shuyun accepted the fact that she was going to marry Marquis Fu'an, Cui's pre-marriage education began.

This education not only includes etiquette, household management, and the art of sex..., but also includes an introduction to Marquis Fu'an's personality, preferences, important subordinates, and birth background.

This is the heritage of a big family.

Even if you haven't had much contact before, once you decide to get in-depth contact, you will start to understand and investigate.

With the network of relationships in a large family, some obvious things can be easily understood.

From Cui's pre-marriage education, Cui Shuyun had a deep understanding of Fu'an Hou Zhu Chengwu, including the legendary figure Zhao Yuguang, the grandfather of Fu'an Hou.

According to the knowledge that Cui taught Cui Shuyun, there are three important figures that cannot be avoided when marrying Marquis Fu'an.

One is the Ming Wang.

The second is the queen.

The third is Zhao Yuguang, the maternal grandfather of Marquis Fu’an.

It is not difficult to understand that King Ming and Queen are the father and mother of Marquis Fu'an.

Zhao Yuguang is a legendary figure from the Zhao family, the mother's clan of Marquis Fu'an.

It is also the biggest reliance of Marquis Fu'an in his fight for the throne with the Crown Prince.

Before Zhao Yuguang appeared, the Zhao family was just an ordinary medium-to-large force in the Ming Dynasty.

Until Zhao Yuguang appeared.

Started martial arts at the age of 8.

Joined the army at the age of 12.

Achieved first-class success at the age of 22.

He was promoted to general at the age of 24.

He became a master at the age of 34.

He was made earl in the same year.

At the age of 46, he led his army to suppress the rebellion in Xuzhou.

In the same year, he was promoted to marquis for his merits.

The following year, the legitimate daughter entered the palace and became queen.

The Zhao family began to embark on the path of being below one clan and above all other clans.

Cui Shuyun still remembers that the white-haired elder of the Cui family who taught her once said that in their generation, there was a saying: If you have a son, you want him to be like Zhao Yuguang!
Among the hundreds and thousands of families in the Ming Dynasty, more than 80% of the aristocratic families disliked Zhao Yuguang.

Because of Zhao Yuguang, the Zhao family had been oppressing them for decades.

But if they were given a choice, most of them would be very willing to have a "Zhao Yuguang" appear in their family to lead their family to glory.

But later, as Zhao Yuguang's status became more and more stable, his power grew, and his seniority became higher and higher, the saying "If I have a son, I hope he will be like Zhao Yuguang" gradually disappeared.

Now Cui Shuyun can be said to be facing the legend directly.

"This girl must be the legitimate daughter of the Cui family who is going to marry Wu Ge'er!"

Cui Shuyun was still confused, so Zhao Yuguang threw the conversation at her.

"Ah~~"

Cui Shuyun was still confused.

"That's right, old patriarch, she is the Marquis's fiancée!"

Zhao Xinghan noticed Cui Shuyun's nervousness and embarrassment, and immediately took over the conversation and answered.

Zhao Xinghan now wished that other things would attract Zhao Yuguang's attention.

Let Zhao Yuguang not notice his panic and anxiety.

Zhao Yuguang turned the conversation back to Cui Shuyunzheng and Zhao Xinghan.

At the same time, Zhao Xinghan was also praying secretly, praying that Zhu Chengwu would digest the "Fire Lotus" thoroughly enough.

But don’t let Zhao Yuguang, the old patriarch of the Zhao family, find out that something is wrong!

"Madam, this is the old patriarch of my Zhao family, and the Marquis's grandfather!"

Zhao Xinghan introduced.

Zhao Xinghan spoke not only to divert Zhao Yuguang's attention.

It is also to divert his own attention so that he doesn't think too much and get nervous.

At the same time, among the people present, only Zhao Xinghan could reasonably introduce Zhao Yuguang and Cui Shuyun to each other.

According to etiquette, Zhu Chengwu should not be here.

Even though we are all family in this room now, we don't care about some conventional etiquette.

Zhu Chengwu was also seriously injured, and his serious injury relapsed.

Among the remaining people, only Zhao Xinghan has the highest status and is most familiar with Zhao Yuguang and Cui Shuyun.

After all, if you look closely, you will find that Zhao Xinghan is not only the chief envoy of the Fu'an Marquis Mansion to welcome the bride, but he is also a relative or a soon-to-be relative of Zhao Yuguang and Cui Shuyun.

"Cui Shujun meets old Marquis Zhao!"

With the buffer of Zhao Xinghan's words, Cui Shuyun finally recovered from the shock of Zhao Yuguang's sudden appearance.

"good!
But more work is needed!

Although the path of refining the spirit is a minor one, it still has some merits!

It's just that your realm is too low.

I think you should be 16 or 17 years old!
He has just achieved the out-of-body state at this age, so the progress is a bit slow!

Moreover, I just used only a small part of my willpower to impact you, and then used words to restore your spirit, but it took you more than ten breaths to come back to your senses.

Your willpower and perseverance still need to be strengthened!
This performance is not what a soul cultivator who focuses on spiritual power should have! "

Zhao Yuguang looked at Cui Shuyun, seeming both satisfied and dissatisfied.

As Zhao Yuguang spoke, everyone realized that Cui Shuyun's distraction just now was actually due to the impact of Zhao Yuguang's martial arts will.

“Are the people outside so powerful?

First, it was Marquis Fu'an. The pressure from his aura alone caused my spiritual power to explode involuntarily, thus exposing my identity as a spiritual cultivator!

Now this old Marquis Zhao is even more outrageous!

He didn't do anything, he just looked at me face to face, and he saw through that I was practicing the spirit refining method, and also saw that I had just achieved the out-of-body experience in the spirit refining method!
Also, if he hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have even noticed that he had used some trick on me.

This level of concealment...

Should we say he is worthy of being the royal genius, Marquis Fu'an, the legendary Zhao Yugang?"

Cui Shuyun looked at Zhao Yuguang in front of her, and thought of Zhu Chengwu's oppressive aura before, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Old Lord Zhao has a keen eye. Shujun is already 16 years old, but not yet 17.

Shuyun was only taught the art of spiritual cultivation by her second sister-in-law a few months ago. Her cultivation is so shallow that I am sorry to have made old Marquis Zhao laugh at her!"

Although she was full of thoughts, Cui Shuyun's words and actions were still in accordance with etiquette, and her answers were flawless.

"months ago?"

Zhao Yuguang glanced at his future granddaughter-in-law, thinking deeply.

If this future granddaughter-in-law did not lie, then her spiritual cultivation ability must be extraordinary!

It will not be difficult to achieve the same level of spiritual cultivation and Yin Shen in the future as the top martial artists.

Even the Yangshen who is comparable to a martial arts master is not without a chance.

Just like the talent of a master in martial arts, the art of spiritual cultivation also has the so-called talent of the Yang God.

The biggest difference between the way of cultivating the spirit and the way of martial arts is that the way of cultivating the spirit focuses on the soul and is less restricted by the physical body than the way of martial arts.

Therefore, the aptitude for Yang Shen in spiritual cultivation is not determined by age but by the duration of cultivation.

There is a saying in the art of spiritual cultivation: It takes three months to enter the art of leaving the body, three years to become a Yin spirit, and thirty years to become a Yang spirit.

The Yin Spirit that leaves the body for three months and lasts for three years is the so-called Yang Spirit's capital.

"More than three months ago to be exact!"

Cui Shuyun heard Zhao Yuguang's mumbling "a few months ago" as a question to her, so she answered honestly.

“More than three months ago!

a bit dangerious!

But there is still hope!"

When Zhao Yuguang heard Cui Shuyun's answer, he did not explain that he was not asking Cui Shuyun what he had just asked, but said so.

"Danger?
hope?"

Cui Shuyun looked at Zhao Yuguang in confusion, not understanding what Zhao Yuguang meant.

Cui Shuyun did not have the knowledge of Zhao Yuguang. Even if she had entered the realm of spiritual cultivation, Cui Shuyun did not know what it meant to become a Yang God.

Looking at his future granddaughter-in-law who knew nothing, Zhao Yuguang felt something in his heart.

“This may also be an option!

But, unfortunately, she is not a member of the Zhao clan! "Thinking so in his heart, Zhao Yugang finally gave up the idea of ​​training Cui Shuyun.

After all, Cui Shuyun's surname is Cui, and her husband's surname is Zhu.

Even if they were trained, Zhao would always rank behind Cui and Zhu.

If Cui Shuyun was born into the Zhao family and was Zhao Shuyun, Zhao Yuguang would definitely do his best to cultivate her.

After all, the art of spirit refining is now in decline.

But Yang Shen’s status is not much lower than that of the Grandmaster.

And if there are both Yang Gods and Grandmasters in a clan, then...

The Zhu family, the first family of the Ming Dynasty, may not be able to maintain its position firmly.

Unfortunately, becoming a Grandmaster is difficult, and becoming a Yang God is even more difficult!
During the more than 300 years since the Ming Dynasty was established, no other family except the Zhu family has ever achieved the dual success of Grandmaster and Yang God.

Only the martial arts sects Shaolin and Wudang...

"By the way, who taught you how to cultivate the spirit?"

Zhao Yuguang did not explain to Cui Shuyun, his future granddaughter-in-law, what he meant by "danger" and "hope", and continued to ask.

"It's Shuyun's second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia!"

Cui Shuyun said respectfully.

"Ai Jingxia?"

However, Zhao Yuguang didn't know who Ai Jingxia Cui Shuyun mentioned was.

"Jingxia's second sister-in-law's father is the Minister of Personnel of the imperial court."

Cui Shuyun reacted and realized that it was normal for Zhao Yuguang to have no impression of his second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia given his status and position.

But the father of his second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia was the Minister of Personnel, and Zhao Yuguang should know him.

Therefore, Cui Shuyun directly pointed out Ai Jingxia's father who held a high position.

"Minister of Personnel?
Who is the current Minister of Personnel?

It looks like Zhong Hao!
Ai Zhonghao does have a daughter...

I see! "

After Cui Shuyun pointed out Ai Jingxia's father who held a high position, Zhao Yuguang finally understood which family the Jingxia's second sister-in-law mentioned by his future granddaughter-in-law was from.

As Zhao Yuguang muttered to herself, Cui Shuyun learned for the first time the full name of her second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia's father.

After all, in the past, people kept their names secret for respected people and elders, so no one in the Cui family told Cui Shuyun the full name of her second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia's father.

"Try Harder!

Assist Wu Ge'er well!"

In the end, Zhao Yuguang ended his first conversation with Cui Shuyun, his future granddaughter-in-law, with these words.

In the end, Cui Shuyun still didn't understand what Zhao Yuguang meant by "danger" and "hope".

After saying that, Zhao Yuguang walked straight up to Zhu Chengwu.

"Brother Wu, can you still walk?"

Zhao Yugang looked at Zhu Chengwu.

"good!
I may need to trouble my cousin Xinghan to lend me some help!"

Zhu Chengwu smiled and replied.

As he spoke, Zhu Chengwu slowly moved out with the help of Zhao Xinghan.

Zhu Chengwu did not ask Zhao Yuguang to help him with his injuries.

Zhao Yuguang didn't mention it either.

“This is what happens when you act on your own!

If you had told me, I would have protected you and you wouldn't have gotten hurt again!
Also, is it necessary to be so anxious to use the Digestion of Heaven and Earth Treasures? "

Seeing Zhu Chengwu moving with difficulty, Zhao Yuguang did not input his internal energy into Zhu Chengwu to help him suppress his injuries. Instead, he started to educate Zhu Chengwu.

Although the Zhao family is in a difficult situation now, it is like sitting on the crater of a volcano.

Although Zhao Yugang's main purpose of coming to Xuzhou City was to help Zhu Chengwu ascend the throne, in order to protect the Zhao family after Zhu Chengwu ascended the throne.

But years of habit and his status as an elder still made Zhao Yuguang habitually put himself above others.

Not respectful enough to Zhu Chengwu!

There is education in every conversation!
After years of habit, Zhao Yuguang has become accustomed to handling things, doing things, and facing Zhu Chengwu in this way.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change!
Perhaps this is why some big figures and even famous wise men often seem to be very stupid when dealing with some things.

Get used to it!
Terrible!
"Ma'am, please rest here for a while!
When the time comes, someone will come to inform you!"

After Zhao Yuguang, Zhu Chengwu and Zhao Xinghan left.

Dai Fayan also left.

But Gao Yao stayed until the end.

Cui Shuyun still needs to explain the handover here.

These matters fall within the responsibilities of the Home Affairs Department.

If Gao Yao was a eunuch, it would be in accordance with etiquette and law for him to stay in the room of Cui Shuyun, the future lady of the marquisate, so as to avoid outsiders gossiping about him.

"Don't worry, Manager Gao. Shuyun understands!"

Until the end, Cui Shuyun still didn't understand what Zhao Yuguang meant by "danger" and "hope".

"Miss, Marquis Fu'an and Old Marquis Zhao are both so scary!"

It was not until Zhao Yuguang and Zhu Chengwu had left for a while that Xiaowei, the maid who had been "invisible" for a while, dared to speak.

He no longer had the carefree attitude he had in front of Cui Shuyun.

"You!
Aren't you very active in front of me?

Why are you so depressed now? "

Cui Shuyun looked at the maid who looked frightened and felt angry and amused, but at the same time she felt a little relieved.

Xiaowei has been with her for more than ten years, although their relationship has not been very close in the past.

But after being "targeted" by Marquis Fu'an and Old Marquis Zhao in succession, when Cui Shuyun saw Xiaowei's familiar face again, she actually felt an inexplicable sense of comfort and relaxation.

……

Rested for a few hours.

Cui Shuyun's fatigue along the way was relieved, and her mind, which had been attacked successively by Marquis Fu'an and Old Marquis Zhao, was also restored.

Cui Shuyun regained her energetic state as a young girl.

"Ma'am, it's time to go!"

Just when Cui Shuyun was in uncertainty, worrying whether Marquis Fu'an would keep his promise and whether he would deny it after getting the things, the sound of a servant knocking on the door was heard outside.

Cui Shuyun turned her head and looked at the corona outside the window.

Indeed, the auspicious time for the wedding is approaching!
Ever since she cultivated the Sun Soul, Cui Shuyun became sensitive to changes in the sun and sunlight.

This method of determining the time by relying on the solar corona is not difficult for Cui Shuyun.

With the help of her maid Xiaowei and the new maid from the Marquis' Mansion, Cui Shuyun simply touched up her makeup, then left the villa and got into a wedding sedan specially prepared by the Marquis of Fu'an's Mansion.

The villa was not far from the marquis's mansion, and a wedding car was no longer necessary for this distance, so a more suitable wedding sedan was used instead.

Qiuyue Dongxue was injured while protecting "Huo Lian" on the way to pick up the bride.

After Marquis Fu'an came to the villa and left, Qiuyue Dongxue went back to the marquis's mansion with Gao Yao, Zhao Xinghan, and a group of injured guards and servants to treat their injuries.

Now, besides Xiao Wei, the only people following Cui Shuyun were some new maids from the Marquis' Mansion.

Cui Shuyun could feel that although these maids were still outstanding, they were far inferior to Qiuyue Dongxue.

It’s not that they are bad at serving others, but that their abilities and status are much lower than Qiuyue Dongxue.

This can be felt from the contrast between the attitudes of the people in the surrounding marquis' mansion towards them and their previous attitudes towards Qiuyue Dongxue.

After Zhao Xinghan, who was in charge of the escort, left, he was replaced by a general named Zhao Xingye.

Although they both had the same surname, Zhao, and although Cui Shuyun still respectfully called him "cousin" after they got to know each other, from the performance of this cousin Xingye and the attitude of the people in the surrounding marquis' mansion towards him, Cui Shuyun knew that this cousin Xingye was quite different from the previous cousin Xinghan.

After Marquis Fu'an obtained the "Fire Lotus", his treatment suddenly became "normal"!
Although Cui Shuyun also disliked the previous "attention" with almost no freedom, now that Fu'an Hou has obtained the "Fire Lotus", he immediately restored his "normal" treatment, which made Cui Shuyun sigh at Fu'an Hou's reality.

"Is this the Marquis's new wife?"

"I heard that she is Cui's legitimate daughter!"

"I heard that she was so beautiful that the Marquis fell in love with her at first sight and lost his appetite..."

"I heard that the Marquis married her not because he liked her, nor for Cui's support, but for Cui's rare treasures..."

...

The people around were talking about it as they watched Cui Shuyun walk into the bridal sedan.

Some even said that Marquis Fu'an married Cui's daughter for Cui's rare treasures.

Sure enough, once more people know about something in this world, it can no longer be kept secret!

Only more and more people will know about it!
