Chapter 32: What is a door?
CHAPTER XXXII
"The lady's expression is a little out of shape. The maid said respectfully.
Cui Ning pouted, if she hadn't been standing with a book on her head now, she would definitely think that the maid was respectful.
"Lady's Supper ......"
"Aunt Xinrui, I know that I am wrong, I was not good just now. "Those who know the times are Junjie, although these people must not dare to starve her to death, but after two meals in a row, she only drank tonic medicine and ate millet porridge, and her bile was going to vomit out.
Xinrui raised her hand to take down the book on Cui Ning's head, "Lady, sit down and rest for a while." ”
Cui Ning was about to pounce happily on the seat, but suddenly thought that such an estimate would be considered a loss of etiquette, so he had to move lightly.
When she sat down, Xinrui knelt beside her and poured her a glass of water.
Cui Ningqiang resisted the idea of pouring tea violently, took a sip of half a glass of water in a posture, and reluctantly put it down.
"The lady still hasn't figured out why the patriarch punished you, has she?" asked Xinrui.
Cui Ning nodded.
"This time, the slave maid also heard about it, and the lady stepped forward to stop the little Langjun from fighting, but she was involved. Xinrui said.
Cui Ning really wants to pat her thigh, this can be regarded as finding someone who understands!
"But. Xinrui's words changed, "As an older sister, why can't you deter your younger brothers and sisters?"
Cui Ning opened her mouth, those bear children, can she deter them? Or do you want to break the boulder on the spot and scare them?
Xinrui said slowly, "The lady is only eight years old, it is normal to lack prestige, your mistake is that you have no self-knowledge, and you don't know what etiquette is! ”
This one...... In the past, the senior brothers violated the rules behind the master's back, and she never secretly complained, and in her cognition, this was the protection of the senior brothers, so that day a group of children pinched up, and she did it without much thought.
Xinrui didn't know this, and when she saw her pondering, she paused for a moment before continuing, "Can the lady understand what a family is?"
Cui Ning shook her head, if she understood, she probably wouldn't be locked up for some reason.
"The Cui family is a door, not to mention the long-term ones, only since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, there have been 26 prime ministers, nearly 100 officials of the third grade and above, and there are countless below the third grade. Xinrui looked at her and said, "What does the lady think these add up?"
"I don't know. Cui Ning only felt that the Cui family was powerful.
"Mendi. "Xinrui's ordinary face seems to have brilliance, as if it is a great thing to be a servant girl in the Cui family," the first emperor wanted to marry the princess into the Cui family several times, but the Cui family thought that the princess was not a woman, and bluntly refused. ”
"Really?" Cui Ning was surprised, "Then can His Majesty be punished?"
Xinrui smiled slightly, "No, Your Majesty only feels regretful." Why does the lady think the Cui family has the courage to refuse this marriage?"
Cui Ning is not stupid, and after a little thought, she understands, "Because of the door." ”
Xinrui said, "Yes. As the Cui family, even if they can't be like the ancestors, they must maintain this hard-won reputation, and the most basic thing is to maintain the family reputation. ”
If you are not good enough, do your duty, behave properly, be careful, don't stand out for the rest of your life, and don't discredit the family.
It is precisely because of such a high family as Cui's that there are countless pairs of eyes staring, and if something embarrassing is spread, it will spread very quickly.
Thinking that the old lady had said that "rules are like clothes", Cui Ning suddenly shuddered, if she did a bad job in this matter, it would be like stepping on the white bones and dignity of the sages and losing her body naked!
"What should I do?" she suddenly panicked.
Xinrui said secretly, Ning Niangzi doesn't seem to be the kind of stubborn child, but as the daughter of the Cui family, why don't you understand this truth when she is eight years old? Could it be that the Ling family has never taught it? Is it not right...... Cui Jing understands very well.
"It's not too late for the lady to understand. Xinrui comforted her, "Don't worry, the elders of the clan will settle this matter." ”
"No wonder the penalty is so heavy this time. Cui Ning muttered.
The previous incident was covered by the Ling clan in time, and it did not cause a bad impact, and the clan did not react violently this time.
Xinrui saw that she understood, so she simply said more clearly, "In addition, there is also the marriage of the lady." Madame's maiden family, the Ling family, is also a big family, and has never had a marriage with our Cui family in the past, and the two families have a relationship of continuing to marry, whether it is for the Ling family or the Cui family, there is no disadvantage. The clan carefully taught the lady, not to please the Ling family, but to show the importance of the relationship between the two families. ”
If Cui Ning marries into the Ling family, she will be the eldest woman in the future, and she will have to take on a lot of responsibilities, if her talent and virtue are not enough, how can the Ling family have no complaints? If she is not talented and virtuous, it will be forgotten, if she is still a scourge lintel, then it is not a marriage but a feud -- if your Cui family dares to marry such a well-educated daughter, it is simply ill-intentioned!
The clanwives of big families like them generally rarely marry children, which one of them was not decided after asking around and choosing thousands of choices after they reached the age of age? The main reason why the Ling family was able to agree to this marriage was that they trusted the Cui family.
Which family does not want to marry the Cui family? Moreover, the girl's biological mother is still the daughter of the Ling family, and the Ling family can certainly trust the conduct of their daughter, which is tantamount to double insurance.
If you want to say that the original Cui Ning, that is, because she was weak when she was young, her family didn't dare to overburden her, and she was very spoiled, and when she was older, she formed a lively and naughty character, but she was still very good at the rules.
And Cui Ning is a child who grew up in the mountains, not that there are no rules, but that insignificant rule can be directly ignored in the family.
Xinrui elaborated on the relationship between the two sides and asked, "Does the lady understand?"
"Understood. "I understand, but she can't stay in the Cui family for the rest of her life, otherwise where will she go to find the magic sword!
However, although she does not plan to stay here in the future, nor will she marry the Ling family, she is still determined to learn from the Yiqiē here, in addition to the agreement with her grandmother at the beginning, she really can't bear to spoil the blood and sweat of many generations of others.
"I will definitely study hard in the future. Cui Ning said.
Xinrui asked herself how much she looked at people, and saw that she was not perfunctory, and her always strict face finally became soft.
Cui Ning is willing to cooperate and learn with her heart, and they can teach with half the effort. Xinrui was in a good mood, but she shed tears of sympathy for Cui Ning, looking at the posture of the clan elders, it is estimated that this time it is not as easy as ten and a half months.
"Lady, Lang Jun has come to see you. Qingxin said outside the door.
Cui Ning hurriedly got up and greeted him out.
Perhaps because he didn't need to be as tense as he was when he was the inspector of the imperial history, Choi Do-wook looked even more gentle than before. Cui Ning gave a proper salute, "Father." ”
"Hmm. Cui Daoyu said, "You all go down." ”
All the maids bowed, and then retreated in order.
There were only two father and daughter left in the courtyard, the smile on Cui Daoyu's face became a little more lively, took her hand and sat down, and took out a bag of things from his arms, "The refreshments I just packed in Wanfeng Building are the best, not even the refreshments in Chang'an." ”
Cui Ning was indeed hungry, so she hurriedly opened it and pinched one and stuffed it into her mouth.
It's obviously a piece of pastry, but it's gone after a few chews in your mouth!
"Delicious, right?" Cui Daoyu saw her silly appearance, and his smiling eyes were bent.
Cui Ning clicked his mouth twice, "I haven't tasted anything yet, eat another piece." ”
A bag of refreshments, she felt like she was gone just by tasting it.
"I'll bring it to you next time. Cui Daoyu looked at the cold appearance around him, and sighed, "This time, even your grandfather is in favor of letting you learn the rules in the Buddhist hall, and you can't do anything as a father!
Cui Ning saw his righteous indignation, and the depression in his heart disappeared suddenly, "It's good to stay here, I also want to learn the rules well, otherwise I will always get into trouble inexplicably." ”
