Chapter 146

Cui Ning went to the East Courtyard to ask Cui Xuanbi to go over and then returned to rest.

The snow was dense, Cui Ning lay in the warm quilt, and soon fell asleep.

It was also snowing in her dream, Wei Qian stood behind her in a black robe, leaned his head against her ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Ning, I can do it." She felt his breath burn, as if he was going to burn her, and her face was hot.

However, what can be done? Cui Ning still doesn't quite understand.

She slept in a tangle and woke up with a little headache.

"Lady!" Qinglu's face was full of joy, he reached out to help her up, and neatly put the pillow behind her, "You burned half the night, but you can make the slaves and maids anxious." ”

"I have a fever?" Cui Ning only found that his throat was dry and his voice was hoarse.

Qinglu hurriedly poured her a cup, "Yes, Madame waited until almost dawn, and when your fever subsided, she was persuaded by the slave to rest." ”

The Ling family has been very happy in the past few years when she married into the Cui family, there has been no mother-in-law pressure on the top, although there is no separation, but the concubines live separately, there is no concubine room in the backyard, and no one cares if she wants to sleep until the sun in the morning.

Cui Ning glanced lazily at the sky outside, her face suddenly changed, and she jumped out of bed in a hurry, "I'm too late!"

"Lady, it's afternoon. Qinglu said helplessly.

"I slept for a day and a night?" Cui Ning paused.

Qinglu took a thin mattress and wrapped her in it, and Qingxin was leading a few maids to come in with toiletries, "Lady, wash up and have dinner, right?"

Cui Ning squatted in front of the dressing table wrapped in a mattress. With a messy head of hair, "Can someone help me go to the Supervision Department to take leave?"

"Madame ordered the maid in the front yard to go over early in the morning to take leave, don't worry. Qingxin took a comb and slowly combed her hair.

Cui Ning's hair is thin and soft, it feels good to the touch, but it is not very easy to take care of, it is easy to raise short fluffy small hair, and it doesn't look like other women's hair is combed in a bun like that, and the use of hair oil will make the hair volume look very small, which is really sad for a few personal maids.

After washing, I used some warm porridge first. Qingxin served her a bowl of walnut sesame paste.

Cui Ning doesn't pick his mouth. It's just that you can't eat anything too greasy when you just get up, and the sesame walnuts are all oily, so you don't have this bowl of things, and Qingxin Qinglu wasted a lot of effort to make it sweet and delicious.

Wait for Cui Ning to finish eating. Qinglu asked. "Lady. The yamen is about to take a year off, right?"

The Cui family doesn't have so many bad things, but the slaves and maids still have some comparisons in private, and Cui Ning will not bring the maids over when she takes office on weekdays. Qingxin Qinglu is idle at home, so his status is naturally not as good as the maid next to Cui Jing.

Cui Ning didn't know much about these, but she had long felt that it was a pity to waste a good manpower, and muttered, "I have a low official rank now, and I am only allowed to bring one person to serve at most. ”

Qingxin Qinglu was overjoyed, and immediately squatted down and said, "Yes." ”

Cui Ning saw that they were happy, and nodded with a smile.

Cui Ning specially asked Fu Yuan for advice on the way of the emperor before, although he only listened to the surface, but talking is better than nothing, and he can always understand the reason why they are worried or happy.

After eating, Cui Ning went to ask the Ling family to be safe and slipped into Cui Jing's house.

"What kind of wind is blowing today, blowing you busy man?" Cui Jing smiled and welcomed her into the house.

"Wherever and where, my sister is the busy person. Cui Ning looked meaningfully at the embroidery frame in the room.

It was the wedding dress that Cui Jing embroidered for herself, which was almost completed, and it would be sent to the tailoring workshop to make a wedding dress in a few days.

"My sister will get married in a few months, so I'm a little reluctant. Cui Ning hugged her arm and said.

Cui Jing's face was slightly red, "I'm not married far away, Zuo is just in Chang'an City, and if you miss me in the future, you will come to Ling Mansion to see me." ”

After the two sisters sat down, the topic naturally turned to Cui Ning.

Cui Ning picked what happened in the near future and told her what she could say.

Cui Jing looked at her sister, and somehow, some envy arose in her heart. In the past, she felt that when a woman went out to show her face, it was like throwing away her innate dignity and dignity, and there was no precedent for the Cui family, so she never thought of going out to be an official one day.

When she was in Qinghe, Cui Ning seemed very clumsy, she didn't know anything, and she often got into trouble in a daze, but now, she is still not a standard noblewoman, but she has a noble atmosphere. That kind of carefree, determined, and radiant, she knows that she may not have it in her life.

In addition to envy, Cui Jing also had a little bit of frustration that she was ashamed to talk about, and her sister, who had always been far behind her, was gradually surpassing her.

"How did you think of becoming an official?" Cui Jing always wanted to ask this question, "Don't you know that after becoming an official, it will be difficult to get married?"

Just like the Xie family, who intended to marry Cui Ning before, she is so eager to make a comeback, and she will not want a daughter-in-law who is an official outside, unless she is at home after she marries, she can take care of housework at home, husband and children.

Cui Ning didn't answer the previous question, but followed her words, "I was born in the Cui family, and I didn't do anything morally corrupt, so I can marry no matter what." ”

Cui Jing sighed and said helplessly, "Of course you won't worry about getting married, but the family won't accept it." ”

"I never intended to marry into a family. Sister, do you think I'm fit to live in a dead family?" Cui Ning asked.

Cui Jing's face changed slightly, "Do you know what this means?"

Once a noble-born woman marries into some family with no foundation, for the family, even if she is half abandoned, unless your husband is really immortal. The family is slowly declining under the blow of imperial power, and it is not without the decaying family that it will be shameful to marry its own girl into the merchant family with a high dowry.

For the daughter of the Cui family, even after marrying a Xiangmen like Fu Yuan, it is better to marry into other families, because these high-ranking families are very united and protect their shortcomings, you are in this circle, and there are all the families behind you, who dares to give you no face, who dares to offend you, that is to go against the family, and go out with more confidence than the princess.

"I know, but I don't regret it. Cui Ning said firmly, "My road can only be done by myself." ”

I won't tie a qiē elsewhere just because I want to find someone to rely on, as for these helps, it's better to have them, and I'm not afraid if I don't have them. Cui Ning believes from the bottom of her heart that she has the ability to support herself in order to have a complete life.

And Cui Ning is not qualified to live the same days as Cui Jing. Her hatred, Cui's can't tie her up. (To be continued......)
