Chapter 91
As soon as Cui Yi arrived at the Guogong Mansion, someone came to visit, but Cui Yi politely refused, Cui Yi also ordered someone to politely give gifts to those who came to visit, and the etiquette was thorough so that they could not find faults. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of those who came to the door were ladies, because their husbands had heard that Duke Wei Guo had brought his wife and daughter from Qinghe to Shangjing, and specially asked them to visit.
The Cui family has a Queen Cui, who naturally unswervingly supports Queen Cui and the prince's party, and Cui Yi is an old fox, who doesn't eat soft and hard, and those who want to find fault can't find the wrong place, and those who want to stammer can't find a way.
It's okay at this time, I can't find a breakthrough from Cui Yi, so I start from his wife and daughter, I heard that Cui Yi is a very favorite wife and daughter, if he is good friends with the Lu family, why can't he take Cui Yi's big fish?
It's a pity that their abacus is very good, but it's a pity that people don't want to take it.
For more than half a month, the steward of the house either said that the master was sick and not suitable to see guests, or that the master had gone out to visit friends, and those who came to visit did not even see the slightest shadow of Lu and Cui Jiayin.
However, every time a visit was denied, there were always some valuable gifts in return, and some even made a windfall for it, which somewhat calmed the anger of the ladies.
Fortunately, it was the seventh day of the seventh month of July not long after, and the queen held a banquet in the palace, and she had already handed over posts to all families, and the Lu family and Cui Jiayin, as Queen Cui's maiden sister-in-law and niece, would definitely appear on that day.
The sound of cicadas outside the house is so noisy that people can't sleep peacefully, Cui Jiayin is holding a spoon to scoop mung bean soup and drink, there are ice cubes in the mung bean soup, sweet and cold, Cui Jiayin doesn't like sweets very much, but he likes this cold and sweet mung bean soup very much, and he has to drink a bowl every day.
"Girl, this mung bean soup is very cold, you should drink less. Ji Qing persuaded: "If your wife finds out that you have drunk too much, she will teach you a lesson." ”
When Cui Jiayin heard this, he still put down the spoon, stared at Ji Qing, and said, "You will take advantage of people's weaknesses." ”
Ji Qing has been serving Cui Jiayin for nearly two months, and she has long known that Cui Jiayin is not a master who easily loses her temper with her subordinates, so she is not stunned in her heart, but smiles and says: "How dare the slave and maid? It is clear that the girl is considerate of the slaves and maids, and she is unwilling to teach the slaves and maids to be embarrassed." ”
Cui Jiayin rinsed his mouth with the tea handed over by Ji Qing, covered his face with his sleeve and spit out the water into the gargle, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth gently, and then said: "I used to think you were honest, but I didn't expect that you were also a good arguer." ”
Ji Qing bowed lightly and skillfully, and could no longer be serious, and said: "Thank you for the girl's praise, the slave and maid are overjoyed, so I have to serve the girl more wholeheartedly to repay the grace of appreciation." ”
met such a cheeky maid, Cui Jiayin couldn't use a thousand strategies.
"Where did the starling go? Cui Jiayin asked, Cui Yu, Cui Jin and Cui Wei, the three older brothers in the second room, went to Guozijian soon after returning to Beijing.
Cui Yan was young and was not in Beijing before, so he had no place to go for a while, and became an idle person like Cui Jiayin, who came to Qinghui Garden every day to play with Cui Jiayin.
Today, Cui Yan has not appeared until now, which really makes Cui Jiayin a little strange.
Ji Qing quickly put away the dishes on the table, heard Cui Jiayin's question, raised his head and laughed, and said, "Girl forgot? Yesterday, the Eighth Young Master came here to complain, saying that the master had found him a gentleman, and he would not be able to be idle like you in the future." If the Eighth Young Master knew that you didn't take him seriously like this, I don't know how sad I would be!"
Cui Jiayin smiled and said: "You dare to make fun of him! Yesterday he only cared about eating, and I didn't hear what he said vaguely, and I didn't know if you didn't say it! ”
Ji Qing said again: "Girl, the county lord of the Yasukuni Mansion has written a letter to you, can you take a look?"
Ji Qing used to be just a second-class maid in the Yutang Pavilion, and she only knew that when she was in Qinghe, the famous Lord of Dexi had lived in the Cui family for a while, and then she didn't know why she said goodbye.
Ji Qing pondered that the girl might have had a conflict with the county lord, so the county lord would say goodbye. Today, the little maid sent a letter, and she wondered for a while, not knowing how the county lord got along with the girl again, and actually wrote a letter and sent it over.
"Oh?" said Cui Jiayin with great interest, "She is so afraid of trouble, and she deigned to write a letter, show it to me." ”
Ji Qing turned around to get the letter, and when she came back, she took a small and delicate basket.
She handed the letter to Cui Jiayin, put the basket on the table, and said, "This basket was also sent with the letter." ”
Cui Jiayin opened the envelope, took out a piece of scented paper from it, and slowly unfolded it.
She laughed lightly, but she couldn't see that Shen Siru, who usually acts with a big grin, also had such a delicate and elegant time.
She looked at Shen Siru's words, more than chic, not enough juanxiu, but it was a kind of peculiarity in the boudoir, but there was a rare free and easy atmosphere that did not let the eyebrows.
Cui Jiayin, who realized that his thoughts had drifted away, came back to his senses and looked at the letter carefully.
Shen Siru didn't say anything else, just complained about Shen Zexi's complaint in front of his mother, so she had to stay in the house and learn the rules from her grandmother, and complained that Cui Jiayin had arrived in Beijing but didn't tell her, and finally asked Cui Jiayin if she could enter the palace on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, if she didn't enter the palace, she happened to come to find her and take her to visit Beijing.
Cui Jiayin seemed to see the girl lying on the table and pouting and writing a letter, so she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, and said to Ji Qing with a smile: "She is used to being informal, and she still wants to get a gift, it's really strange." ”
Ji Qing listened to the familiarity and intimacy with the county lord of Dexi revealed in her girl's tone, and knew that the two of them were not as contradictory as she thought, so she also put her mind at ease.
Cui Jiayin walked to the table, studied the ink himself, took a pen from the pen holder, wrote a few lines on the cut delicate notepaper, and after drying it, he stuffed it into the envelope and handed it to Ji Qing.
At the same time, he commanded: "You send this to the county lord." After thinking about it, he said, "By the way, I also packed a basket of lotus roots as a return gift." ”
The lotus root is sent from a Zhuangzi in the Lu family's dowry, it is fresh and sweet and very refreshing, and the lotus root festival with the thick arm of the white tender arm looks very gratifying, and it is very refreshing to eat a lotus root on this hot summer day. (To be continued.) )
