Chapter 212 Requirements
"Sister, I bought the paper." Cui Zhifeng handed the paper bought by the servants to Cui Yuxiu.
Cui Yuxiu looked carefully and asked, "Have you done what I asked you to do?"
"Sister, it has been found out that the paper was produced by that workshop in Chang'an City, but looking at the steps, there is nothing unusual." Cui Zhifeng said.
Cui Yuxiu thought for a while and asked, "What about the other thing?"
"It has been arranged, but Lin Xuan did not agree to cooperate, saying that the production is not enough now, and we will talk about it later." Cui Zhifeng said.
After Cui Yuxiu listened, it took a long time before she muttered to herself: "It seems that we have to find a way to repair our relationship with Lin Xuan."
"Sister, he said that the production is not enough, do you still want to cooperate with him?" Cui Zhifeng said.
Cui Yuxiu gave Cui Zhifeng a blank look, and said: "The output is not enough, it's better to expand the scale, why not cooperate with him."
"But he is very hostile to our family. You should know that if you go to him like this, will he agree?" Cui Zhifeng didn't want to cooperate with Lin Xuan very much.
Cui Yuxiu said: "You're right, it looks like I need to find someone to help."
……
"You said Uncle Cheng invited me to Cheng's house for dinner?" Lin Xuan looked at Cheng Chumo with some puzzlement.
It's not a festival, Cheng Yaojin, as an elder, how could he invite him to dinner.
Cheng Chumo said: "The main reason is that my mother has a niece and nephew. I asked my mother for help and wanted to see you."
"You mean the Cui family?" Lin Xuan asked. (Many people say that Cheng Yaojin later married Cui's daughter. According to readers, the previous article has been revised.)
Cheng Chumo nodded and said: "Don't worry, they told my mother that they wanted to apologize to you. My father felt that although he couldn't get too close to the family, there was no need to offend them to death, so he helped."
"What is Aunt Cheng's status in the Cui family?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
Cheng Chumo said: "My mother's father, and the current head of the Cui family are brothers, so they can be regarded as the direct line of the Cui family."
"Okay, I will definitely go to the banquet on time." Lin Xuan said.
No matter what, Cheng Yaojin still has to give him face.
"Thank you Lin Xuan, but if there is something difficult for you, you can do whatever you want. Don't make it difficult for you because of my family. This is what my mother told me." Cheng Chumo said.
"Okay, I see." Lin Xuan nodded.
……
In the evening, Lin Xuan came to Su Guogong's mansion.
Cheng Yaojin took his wife, followed by Cheng Chumo's two brothers, and Cui's brothers and sisters, and greeted Lin Xuan at the door in person.
"See Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng." Lin Xuan bowed his hands.
"Why are you polite, coming here is like going home." Cheng Yaojin said.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "In that case, why are Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng coming out? This is the first time I've heard that they will be greeted when they return home."
Cui smiled and said: "Look at Lin Xuan talking a lot, keep silent and bright, you have to study hard."
For Lin Xuan's willingness to come, Cui is still very grateful.
She also knew about the relationship between Lin Xuan and the Cui family, but if her niece and nephew came to her, it would be no good if she didn't help.
"Okay, let's go in first, the banquet is ready." Cheng Yaojin said.
Everyone came to Cheng's hall and sat in separate seats.
"Come on, let's serve the food." Cheng Yaojin ordered.
During the dinner, Cheng Yaojin's family only warmly entertained Lin Xuan and others, and did not discuss any sensitive topics.
After eating, Cheng Yaojin asked someone to clean up, brought tea, and left with Cui Shi and Cheng Chumo brothers.
Leaving the living room, Cui asked worriedly: "Master, they won't quarrel, right?"
Cheng Yaojin shook his head, and said: "This face is still for the old man Lin Xuan, but the Cui family has done a lot of things, and the old man can't say much."
"Master, I know." Cui Shi said.
She married Cheng Yaojin, so naturally she put the Cheng family first.
She didn't want to take care of the Cui family's affairs, but she couldn't do anything about her niece and nephew begging.
……
Lin Xuan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then said with a smile: "Miss Cui came to see me in this way, what's your business?"
When he first crossed, he was really not used to drinking Datang, but after so long, he has slowly accepted it.
Although I'm still not used to the taste, I can't go to someone else's house and pick and choose.
"Master Hou was joking. I believe Master Hou also knows that our Cui family did not participate in the impeachment of Lord Hou by the other families," Cui Yuxiu said.
Lin Xuan put down the tea bowl and said, "What exactly Miss Cui wants to say, you might as well just say it. I don't like to beat around the bush."
"The little girl just said it straight, Lord Hou made paper to avenge the Wang family?" Cui Yuxiu asked.
Lin Xuan smiled, noncommittal.
Cui Yuxiu didn't expect Lin Xuan to answer this question, and continued, "Master Hou wants to take revenge on the Wang family, so it doesn't make much sense to just sell paper in Chang'an. The Cui family is willing to cooperate with Master Hou to sell paper to other places in Datang."
Lin Xuan said playfully: "Miss Cui, as far as I know, the five surnames should be regarded as allies, right? Your Cui family's cooperation with me is equivalent to stabbing the Wang family in the back?"
"It's good to have an agreement between the five surnames, but that's only under special circumstances. Usually our relationship is not so good." Cui Yuxiu said.
She didn't hide anything, after all, with Lin Xuan's identity, it's impossible not to know about these things.
Lin Xuan smiled. The special situation Cui Yuxiu mentioned should be the suppression of the royal family.
"There are so many businessmen in the world, why does Ms. Cui think that I would be willing to cooperate with the Cui family?" Lin Xuan said.
Cui Yuxiu said confidently: "There are many businessmen in the world, but if someone dares to do this, he will definitely face the Wang family's revenge. How many companies in the world are not afraid of the Wang family's revenge at all?"
"Less does not mean no." Lin Xuan said lightly.
Cui Yuxiu nodded, and said, "Indeed, but the benefits that our Cui family can give, cannot be given by other families."
"What benefits can the Cui family give me?" Lin Xuan asked.
"The Cui family can help your Lin family become a new family." Cui Yuxiu said seductively.
If an ordinary person heard Cui Yuxiu's words, his heart would definitely be moved.But this person does not include Lin Xuan.
It's not that simple to become an aristocratic family.
Aristocratic family means a family with a noble family and many generations who have been officials.
Except for him, the Lin family has no official position, so how can they become a family?
Moreover, the decline of the family is already doomed, and becoming a family has no temptation for him at all.
"Miss Cui, you don't think the aristocratic family can continue to exist like this?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Cui Zhifeng said angrily: "Lin Xuan, what do you mean?"
Cui Yuxiu glared at Cui Zhifeng and said, "Why did Lord Hou say that?"
"I won't talk about the current situation of the aristocratic family. But does Ms. Cui think it is reasonable for the aristocratic family to have so many resources?" Lin Xuan said.
Many people think that the decline of the aristocratic family is related to Li Shimin's suppression, and after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he killed a large number of people from the aristocratic family.
In fact, this is not the reason. When Li Shimin died, the power of the aristocratic family was still very strong.
Wu Zetian also killed those who hindered her accession to the throne.
But there are so many aristocratic families in the world, it is impossible for Wu Zetian to kill all the members of the aristocratic families.
What really made the family decline and disappear was the Huang Chao Uprising.
Ordinary people rebel, for the sake of fame and recruiting talents, they generally will not touch the aristocratic family.
This is also the reason why the aristocratic family has been able to pass on for so long and survived a lot of wars.
In history, Huang Chao was called a rogue, that is to say, he ran to grab that.
After the Huang Chao uprising, until his demise, he killed a large number of aristocratic families and robbed their money.
As a result, the aristocratic family's strength was greatly damaged, and they gradually declined.
If it hadn't been for Huang Chao's fatal blow to the powerful and noble families, it is very likely that there would be no splendid culture in the later Song Dynasty, and there would be no phenomenon of "the former Yan of Wang Xietang flying into the homes of ordinary people in the old days".
Therefore, the brutal Huang Chao is not useless. He destroyed the aristocracy that lasted for 700 years, had an important positive impact on the development of history, and promoted social progress.
Of course, aristocratic families control a lot of resources. With the progress of society, even if there is no Huang Chao, they will still be eliminated by the times in the end.
Cui Yuxiu looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Master Hou, you mean you don't want to cooperate with our Cui family?"
She didn't want to discuss with Lin Xuan the question of whether the aristocratic family has a lot of resources and whether it is reasonable or not.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Of course not. On the contrary, I am very willing to cooperate with the Cui family. However, I don't need the Cui family to help me become a family. I just need the Cui family to agree to one request."
"What request?" Cui Yuxiu asked.
"I want Cui Xu's life!" Lin Xuan said word by word.
Cui Yuxiu said decisively: "This is impossible."
It is impossible for the Cui family to agree to this request, otherwise how can they gain a foothold.
