Mei Shixiang, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but raise her face and glanced at Mrs. Qingyao, and stopped talking on her face. Mr. Cui is now a great incense master, what kind of identity is that, even if you are her mother, you should not speak to her in such a tone, let alone say that this is to restrict Mr. Cui's behavior.

Mrs. Qingyao seemed to know what Mei Shixiang was thinking at this time, so she glanced at her with a faint expression.

Mei Shixiang lowered her eyes unconsciously, and almost reflexively gave birth to a little fear in her heart, even though she had left the Cui Mansion and entered the Changxiang Hall for many years, but in her heart, the residual power of Mrs. Qingyao still could not be completely removed.

"Eat it, it's not good when it's cold. After a moment, Mrs. Qingyao said lightly.

Cui Feifei quietly finished eating the bowl of sweet soup, put down the spoon, and rinsed his mouth with tea before asking, "What is my mother going to do?"

Mrs. Qingyao also put down the spoon, rinsed her mouth with tea, and then took the hot cotton towel handed by the servant and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, before she said, "What do you think I will do?"

Cui Feifei said: "Daochang Li also went to the Guogong Mansion today. ”

Lady Qingyao sneered: "So what, do you think I will listen to such old guys?"

Cui Feifei took the tea cup held by his subordinates and gently placed it in front of Mrs. Qingyao: "Of course my mother won't listen to him, I'm just worried that Daochang Li may have said something to his mother and confused his mother." ”

Mrs. Qingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, gently flicked the lid of the tea bowl, and said slowly: "For a long time, the Daomen has been entrenched in Qinghenan County for nearly a thousand years, and no matter what the Cui family does in Nanjun, fields, business, especially Caoyun, they have to pass through the Daomen. Since your grandfather was in charge, the Cui family has always wanted to break this situation, but we have worked hard for decades, but Daomen has never relented. It wasn't until ten years ago that your father finally waited for an opportunity, and he could have successfully forced the Daomen to hand over the Caoyun of Nanjun to the Cui family, but in the end, he failed due to the blood of the thirteen sons of the Daomen, and your grandfather was also seriously ill, and several of your cousins had to leave Qinghe because of this. ”

Cui Feifei looked at the tea in the cup silently, she was still in Qinghe ten years ago, when that incident happened, she was in the ancestral house, the grievances between the Cui family and the Daomen, she had heard about it since she was a child.

After a long time, Cui Feifei spoke: "Has the Daomen already promised to hand over all the Cao Yun of Nanjun to the Cui family?"

Mrs. Qingyao put it on the lid of the tea bowl: "There is also the fertile field south of Yunshan." ”

Mei Shixiang couldn't help but raise her face again, and it was difficult to hide her surprise on her face. In the past, when she was in Qinghe, she had heard that the fertile land south of Yunshan belonged to the Cui family, but more than 30 years ago, because a child of the Cui family who was addicted to gambling was secretly sold, and her father knew that he was angry to death, and before he died, he ordered his eldest son to make a vow that he would take back the land in his lifetime.

The one who made the oath is the current old lady Cui, and the one who loses is the little brother of the old lady Cui.

Cui Feifei knows better than anyone how much that piece of land means to Cui's family and grandfather.

"Daomen is so willing!" Cui Feifei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Qingyao and asked, "What do they want?"

Mrs. Qingyao smiled faintly: "They just need you not to participate in anything, and stay in your Yuheng Hall in peace." ”

Cui Feifei showed hesitation on his face: "Nanjun Caoyun and the land south of Yunnan, just in exchange for my silence?"

Lady Qingyao nodded: "That's right. ”

Cui Feifei sighed: "What the Daomen asks for is really not small. ”

Mrs. Qingyao said: "No matter what they want, your grandfather has already accepted this deal, and ordered me to come to Chang'an to inform you in person." ”

Cui Feifei was silent for a moment before he said, "What did my mother see in the Guogong Mansion today?"

Mrs. Qingyao said: "It's just a fragrant land. ”

Cui Feifei said: "I heard that Mrs. Li said at the banquet that a new Great Incense Master was born. ”

Mrs. Qingyao sneered: "That's right, in a few days, Daochang Li will go to the Changxiang Hall to officially recommend Chuan Lian as the heir of the Tianji Palace." It's just that when Chuanlian, the identity of the southern Xinjiang people, and the Daomen, I don't know how many accounts have to be calculated. ”

"Chuanlian is not the successor of Mr. Baili, Daomen such a recommendation method, Chuanlian must pass the approval of more than two great incense masters of the Changxiang Hall before he can officially become the successor of the Tianji Palace. When Cui Feifei said this, he looked at Mrs. Qingyao and said, "Daomen wants me to directly recognize Chuanlian?"

Mrs. Qingyao sneered: "They are willing to do so, but I know that my daughter Mo Ruomu, I know that you will never agree, so I refused for you, and the old lady reprimanded me fiercely for this." ”

Cui Feifei's eyes were a little complicated, she didn't know what to say for a while, she knew her mother's character, and she knew her grandfather's style of acting, if she was really angry, it would never be as simple as just a reprimand.

Lady Qingyao put away the mockery on her face, and continued: "At my insistence, Daomen finally took a step back and only asked you to abstain, that is, to do nothing and do nothing. ”

Cui Feifei paused and slowly spoke: "Mother really thinks that they are just here for the Tianji Palace?"

Lady Qingyao said lightly: "No matter what their real purpose is, it has nothing to do with you at the moment, you just need to do your part." ”

Cui Feifei opened his mouth: "But-"

Mrs. Qingyao interrupted her: "After all, your surname is Cui, don't you know what your family paid to let you sit on the position of the Great Incense Master back then." ”

Cui Feifei slowly closed his mouth.

Mrs. Qingyao looked at her and said, "I don't need you to do anything now, I just need you not to do anything, this request from the family is not too much, and it is also the best condition I can get for you." ”

"It bothered my mother. Cui Feifei sighed, "I understand." ”

Mrs. Qingyao smiled, stretched out her hand, and patted her on the back of her hand: "It's good that you understand, watching from the wall is the way of smart people, not to mention that there are so many benefits." ”

Cui Feifei also smiled lightly, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

Mrs. Qingyao stood up: "It's been a while since you came out, it's not early, go back early." ”

Cui Feifei was stunned: "Won't my mother go to Changxiang Hall with me?"

Mrs. Qingyao shook her head: "I haven't been to Chang'an for many years, so I'll stay in this city for a few days, and then I'll go to Yuheng Hall to find you." ”

When Cui Feifei heard this, she knew that her mother had other things to do, so she hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but ask, and just nodded lightly.

Madame Qingyao sent her out of the door, and before she boarded the carriage, she said again: "Remember what I said." ”

……

On the way, Mei Shixiang sighed quietly, thinking about what Mrs. Qingyao said before, and for a while she couldn't tell what she was feeling at this time. Cui Fu took back the ancestral property and really controlled the Nanjun Caoyun from now on, which is a happy event in any case, and this is full of good news for Mr. Cui. But when I think of the conditions that Daomen put forward by this, although it is not excessive, it is precisely because of this that it makes people feel a little uneasy. (To be continued.) )
