In the hall used to meet the steward in the inner courtyard of the Cui family, Mrs. Cui San held a cup of tea, but let Steward Chen stand for a long time without saying a word. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The weather was already hot, and it was dried like this, and the decent clothes on Steward Chen's body quickly became wet from the inside.

What did he do wrong? This door hasn't come out yet, and even if there is a mistake, it can't be opened?

Do you think that there are too many sixteen-color gift boxes? But a prince, they went to the door to thank others, which is already shabby.

asked him to say that he should have given some precious things such as jade and antiques, but the lady said at the time that he could just be attentive, and he didn't have to be too heavy with gold and silver.

He understood what his wife meant, the Cui family is a big family, even if the foundation is not in the capital all these years, he can't put his posture too low in front of the royal family.

This sixteen-color gift box, but he carefully selected it, and it was decided, if there is a sensible steward in the Jin Palace, he can naturally see the dedication in it.

Besides, before going out, the list also gave Mrs. a purpose!

Steward Chen here secretly guessed, his mind was uncertain, and Mrs. Cui San over there was also depressed in her heart, and she couldn't hold it in her chest in one breath.

In the end, it was the grandmother next to her who reminded her that Mrs. Cui San remembered Steward Chen, who had been hanging aside by her for a long time.

"You go first, this errand, don't be busy. ”

Mrs. Cui San waved her hand with a bad look.

Steward Chen was stunned, this ......

"Madam, this Jin Palace, will you say that we don't know how to be polite......

Steward Chen had the courage to say, this is a matter related to the prince, not a joke!

If you miss this opportunity, how will you go online with King Jin in the future?

Mrs. Cui San listened to Steward Chen's questioning, remembered the news she had received earlier, and became more and more irritable, ignoring Steward Chen, standing up, raising her feet and leaving, throwing Steward Chen in place and leaving behind Grandma with wide eyes.

"Whatever the master commands, just listen, don't worry too much!"

The grandmother knew her thoughts, kindly instructed, and turned away.

What's going on? Steward Chen was puzzled, so he could only go back and wait.

Cui Yingjia had an injury on her foot and couldn't move, so she naturally didn't know anything about it, so she just pulled the maid who was sitting on the side doing embroidery work to talk.

"Durian, you said, the gift was sent to the Jin Palace, will His Royal Highness the King of Jin come over to return the gift? Or, come and see me?"

Hearing that the young lady began to speak freely again, she reluctantly let go of the embroidered work in her hand, and persuaded her disapprovingly:

"Miss, you really dare to think that it was so late last night, and His Royal Highness King Jin probably didn't even see what you looked like, and he was the respect of the prince, how could he come to see you for such a small matter?"

It's really not that she's a maid who speaks ugly, it's really the character of a young lady...... When will I be able to have a little reserve and stability in my daughter's family?

Even if it is His Royal Highness the King of Jin, even if His Royal Highness the King of Jin looks better than Pan An, then he can't think about it like this.

Her requirements are not high, not to mention that the master is as elegant and exemplary as the eldest lady, as long as she can be as reassuring as the fifth lady born to Mrs. Cui San.

Cui Yingjia was splashed with cold water by her henchmen with enthusiasm, and thought about it carefully, last night, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who was very good-looking, seemed to be really from beginning to end, and he didn't take a few serious looks at her......

"I'm not ugly......" she muttered to herself.

Durian Hong had nothing to say, so she simply stood up: "Second Miss, you rest first, and the slave will go and ask Fifth Miss to talk to you." ”

The master is like this, she can't manage it, so she just finds someone who can persuade her to take care of it.

Cui Yingjia immediately became anxious: "Don't, don't invite the fifth sister!"

She threw herself forward, and grabbed her sleeve tightly.

"The fifth sister has the most truths, I don't want to leave those old scholars in Qinghe and come to an elementary school to trouble me!"

Before the words fell, I heard a chuckle from under the window: "The second sister is talking about me? It seems that the younger sister was pedantic in the past." ”

Inside the house, the master and servant opened their eyes and looked at each other, Cui Yingjia was embarrassed, and Grenade was frightened - is there such a spirit behind this? !

The bamboo curtain was lifted, and it was Cui Yingyi, a smiling Miss Cui Wu, who walked in with a maid.

"When I wasn't there for a while, what was the second sister arranging behind my back? Could it be that I talked too much in the past and made the second sister bored?"

Cui Yingyi didn't look angry at all with a smile, but she didn't spare Cui Yingjia lightly.

Durian hurriedly saluted, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Second Miss This is a joke, Fifth Miss Don't take it to heart......"

Cui Yingyi waved her hand absently, sat down on the embroidered stool next to the bed, and smiled at Cui Yingjia, who was blushing and didn't know what to say: "Second sister, our Cui family is rare for a refreshing person like you, sister, I did nag a little bit in the past." ”

Cui Yingjia heard her say these words, and no longer froze in place, loosened her red sleeves, and slowly sat back on the bed, the embarrassment on her face was gone, and she also looked at Cui Yingyi with a smile and said:

"The fifth sister is the Cui daughter who behaves most like the big sister, and the women in the world have to take you as a role model in their leisure, how dare I say that yours is not? ”

She knows her cousin's temperament, and what she thinks in her heart, she is extremely empathetic on this face, and there will be no trace of mistakes.

And magnanimity, isn't it the most temperamental that a virtuous and virtuous Cui woman should have?

The smile on the corner of Cui Yingyi's mouth froze, but her smile became clearer: "Second sister is really ...... Could it be that I'm a sister, and I have to deal with my own sister?"

Cui Yingjia immediately smiled sweetly when she heard this: "I know that the fifth sister is the most magnanimous person, but ......"

She rolled her big eyes, and glared at the grenade: "Go, beat me up all the little girls guarding outside, how did they all do errands, the fifth sister came and didn't make a sound, almost made our sisters discordant, and they should be punished!"

The durian on the side also thought that there were so many maids and wives around the second lady's house, but the master could even be listened to casually, which is why she repeatedly objected to the master's unobtrusion.

This isn't your own home.

But she still didn't really hit those little girls, she just smiled and didn't move.

In front of Miss Five, if you really go, it would be really unkind.

"Second sister, blame me for this, I didn't let them make a noise, I'm afraid that if the second sister is resting, it won't be good to disturb it......"

Cui Yingyi blushed and said.

Although the master and servant didn't piggyback on her, Cui Yingyi still felt that her face was hot - this house was headed by her mother, and these maids and daughters were also given by her mother to her second sister, and when she came over just now, she waved to these maids and daughters-in-law to keep them quiet, and these maids and daughters-in-law naturally listened to her.

If this maid went out and reprimanded them, wouldn't she also be slapping her face?

Cui Yingyi couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, this cousin from Qinghe's own family is a two hundred and five, does she talk like this?

Cui Yingjia still had no heart and smiled like this: "That's good, I'll just say that the person who came out of the third aunt's hand wouldn't be like this." ”

Cui Yingyi's eyes sank, these two sisters are really difficult to deal with.

However, she thought that she had a good bearing, and thought about the purpose of her coming, so she stopped talking about this, and said one thing again:

"Second sister, today's mother originally said that she would let Steward Chen go and give a thank you gift to His Royal Highness King Jin, but now she can't go. ”

The smile on Cui Yingjia's face finally went down a little: "What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness King Jin, I will return to the fiefdom tomorrow...... I heard that it was because he offended the emperor in the palace last night, and the emperor was furious and ordered the king of Jin to return to the fiefdom tomorrow.

"No mercy?"

Cui Yingjia was incredulous: "He is the emperor's favorite younger brother, how could he be, how could he anger the emperor? Since he is going back to the fiefdom tomorrow, shouldn't he go and thank him today?"

Cui Yingyi saw that she was so anxious for a person she had met once, she secretly disdained in her heart, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Second sister, you are really confused, since His Royal Highness the King of Jin is going back to Hedong tomorrow, there are naturally countless things to be busy today, let's go to the door at this time, isn't it too blinding? Besides, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is going this time, I am afraid that he will die in the fief in this life, and he will never return to the capital, even if you pay attention to it, it is useless! Unless, you are willing to follow the King of Jin for the rest of your life to die in the countryside in Hedong!" ”

This can be regarded as the meanest thing Cui Yingyi has said in this time.

But Cui Yingjia didn't have the heart to worry about her at all, and her heart kept flashing over the gentle and polite and handsome young man last night, and her heart was very uncomfortable.

She naturally heard the deep meaning of the fifth sister's words.

She probably knows some of the plans in the Cui clan - King Jin is the emperor's favorite younger brother, no matter which Cui daughter marries into the Jin Palace, it will be a great help to the Cui family.

In the past, the stubborn reputation of the King of Jin was almost known to the entire Great Qi, and the sisters in the clan were afraid that they would be chosen to marry the King of Jin, but she did not think so. And here in the capital, she had heard her mother say that the third lady was afraid that she also intended to make her fifth sister Xu and King Jin, and Bo a princess of Jin.

And at this moment, the third lady is afraid that she is about to lose power when she sees King Jin, and she immediately doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, right?

The interests of the family are all like this, Cui Yingjia is very clear in her heart, but at this moment, she is really sad in her heart.

Until Cui Yingyi left, she still hung her head, her expression full of sadness.

Durian sighed: "Second Miss, just look at the events of last night, His Royal Highness King Jin is not as stubborn as rumored, and he can be regarded as a good person, but since he is going back to the fiefdom, in the future, Miss should not take it to heart, one side of the relationship, it is really not worthy of Miss so." ”

Cui Yingjia didn't respond.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, but what is the point of living for such snobbery?

She lowered her head and thought for a long time, and her eyes slowly settled.

"Durian, let's go out tomorrow, let's send him, even if we will never see each other again in this life, we have to send it off, and I should thank you...... Otherwise, if he goes on the road alone, how lonely he will be. ”

Since he really offended the emperor, and even got the words "kill without forgiveness", presumably no one dares to send him to such a snobbish capital.

Durian was stunned for a moment, but still responded.

Obviously, there will be no future, and I don't know whether to say that Miss is kind or that Miss is stupid.

When the carriage of Weibei Houfu approached the second gate, Bai Chenghuan almost fell asleep.

Mrs. Wei Beihou originally planned to let a few servant women come and quietly carry her back to let her go back to sleep, but as soon as she moved, the daughter in her arms opened her eyes.

Mrs. Wei Beihou lovingly rubbed her daughter's tired face, and said softly: "Cheng Huan, let's get home, you go back to the room and sleep well." ”

Bai Chenghuan nodded in response, and the mother and daughter got out of the carriage, Wei Bei waited in front, and the two of them followed, and went to Rongxi Courtyard first.

Before I reached the gate of the courtyard, I saw Mama Gao, who was staying at home, walking over quickly, bowing with a serious face, and walking up to them and whispering:

"Master Hou, madam, fourth miss, the prince of Qin is here. ”

"Why is it here again?"

Wei Beihou and his wife glanced at each other, said in a low voice, and looked back at their daughter.

Bai Chenghuan also frowned, what's the matter with this Xiao Shaotang, he was obviously grounded by the emperor, but he still swaggered like this, coming at night and during the day, is this Weibei Houfu his own home?

"Let's go in first. Mrs. Wei Beihou naturally saw that her daughter's expression was really not happy when she heard the news, but standing here was not a solution.

Bai Chenghuan looked at the gate of Rongxi Courtyard, and instantly felt that Xiao Shaotang was in front of him, and he felt uncomfortable.

Last night, he was so rude to her that she never wanted to see him again.

She saluted Wei Beihou: "Since that's the case, Daddy, why don't you go and see him and see if he has anything important, and the daughter will retire first." ”

The daughter's attitude was clear, and Wei Beihou was naturally not reluctant, so he nodded and responded: "Okay, you go back and have a good rest, and Daddy will go to see him." ”

Although Mrs. Wei Beihou felt a little pity, she just thought about it.

Although this Xiao Shaotang is very good, but my daughter is afraid that she has not turned the corner yet, and she is afraid that it will not be possible for a while.

Bai Chenghuan said goodbye to his father and mother, and walked in the direction of Huanyi Pavilion.

The summer sun is strong and dazzling, but fortunately, the flowers and trees are sparse along the way, and the shade of the trees is scattered, but it is not too hot.

When I walked to the lake, the cool breeze on the lake came slowly, and the cool meaning made people's minds shake, and they were completely sober and sleepy.

She is not a fool, nor is she a girl who is ignorant of the world, Xiao Shaotang always says that she thinks too much, but this kind of thing, she always feels that it is not that she thinks too much.

The people of the Xiao family, she is no longer willing to be contaminated, not only the Xiao family, but any man in this world, she is not willing to be contaminated.

Love is a seductive poison, and she drank it once, and it was enough.

She was about to step on the covered bridge on the lake, but in the distance, Xiao Shaotang's shout was heard.

"Bai Chenghuan, you stop for me!"
