The door creaked and shut, and the light dimmed as the window was hidden.

Cui Xiuwan looked at Mrs. Cui's cold face, and suddenly a chill appeared on her back, and she reluctantly calmed down: "Mother, what mistake did Yinzhu make?" She's been there for me all year, going back and forth with me—"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Cui cut her off coldly: "She sees you doing something wrong but doesn't dissuade her, it's wrong!" ”

"I-" Cui Xiuwan wanted to say more, but Mrs. Cui pointed at her: "You sit down for me!" ”

Cui Xiuwan had never heard Mrs. Cui speak to her so harshly, her heart trembled, she didn't dare to speak for Yinzhu anymore, and slowly sat down. Mrs. Cui calmed down and slowed down her voice slightly: "Do you know that when the family held a funeral for you, they had already delivered the news to the palace, and now that you run back, if it is known, the whole family is guilty of bullying the king!" ”

Speaking of this, Cui Xiuwan was still a little aggrieved: "Mother, why did you say that I was dead?" If you say I'm missing—"

Mrs. Cui slapped the table: "Missing? In the future, the princess of the county will disappear, do you want the whole family to follow you to lose face? ”

Cui Xiuwan knew that she was speechless, and said in a low voice: "If you say that I am seriously ill, it is okay to send it back to Fuzhou to recuperate...... In short, don't say that she is dead, if she is dead, she will never come back, and she can no longer live under the name Cui Xiuwan."

Mrs. Cui was almost angry with her: "You now know that you told me that you were seriously ill, why didn't you say that you would discuss with me when you eloped?" ”

Can I elope after discussion? Cui Xiuwan bowed her head and was silent.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Mrs. Cui calmed down a little and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time for you to be willful. Your father died in battle, and the Queen Mother looked at our family differently, and summoned me to the palace today, just to allow your sister to be a side concubine to King Anjun. ”

Is it really for King Anjun and Shen Shu to be a side concubine? Cui Xiuwan raised her head in a trance. She hadn't seen Shen Shu for nearly two years, and the impression in her memory was already a little blurry, but she only remembered that it was a tall young man, his complexion was slightly black and a little rough by the scorching sun and frost in the northwest, and his whole body was full of wildness, which was completely incomparable to Wei Yuan's delicate and elegant.

However, this person is now the king of the county, and with the current situation of the Cui family, it is not only unattainable, but it is also unattainable. Cui Xiuwan was dazed for a moment, and then lowered her head again: "Why didn't you marry my sister to the king of Anjun as I said...... "If you marry that day, you will be the concubine, although today you are also entering the palace of the county king, but one side is on one side, and the world is different."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cui was angry. The ghost only knows why King Anjun refused to marry Cui Youwan that day, if he had continued this family business at that time - and slowly, could it be that King Anjun knew Cui Xiuwan at that time......

When Mrs. Cui thought of this, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that King Anjun knew about this for a long time, but for the sake of the face of the first emperor - or maybe for his own face, after all, his fiancée eloped with someone, even if he was not at fault, he would be poked in the back - and concealed the matter.

If this is the case, then does the Cui family dare to send Cui Youwan to the county king's mansion? King Anjun kept a secret for them in the past, but now that the Cui family is against his will, he will never keep this secret anymore, right?

"Mother-" Cui Xiuwan listened to Mrs. Cui for a long time without speaking, and looked up at her with some confusion.

"You're going now!" Mrs. Cui was really panicked, "Let's leave today!" When it gets dark, ask your brother to send you out of the city and go to Lingnan and Liuzhou. Do you remember your cousin of the Xue family? You're going to live there for a few years. ”

"Liuzhou?" Cui Xiuwan was taken aback, "Why do you want to go there?" She remembered that Liuzhou was in Guangxi, a land of Baise and a mixture of Han and Yi people, which was quite difficult to govern. And I heard that Guangxi is hot and humid, and being an official has been suffering in the land of Lingnan in the past, how can she stand it when she lives in the past?

Besides, what is the cousin of the Xue family, Cui Xiuwan is not familiar with it, and she only vaguely remembers that it was a tall and rather stern woman, and her every move was as if she had been measured with a ruler. I heard that her father was a famous Confucian scholar who studied "Zhuzi" intensively, so he taught his daughter to be one-size-fits-all. This cousin of the Xue family is said to be not very popular with the sisters among relatives in the boudoir, and when she is older, the younger generations are also a little afraid when they see her, and few people are willing to get close. If Cui Xiuwan hadn't been a little older when she saw her, she would probably not have remembered it at all.

"Go over there, the Anjun Mansion can't find you even if you want to find it. Your brother will naturally arrange it in his hometown, and as long as they can't find you, it'll be fine. ”

Cui Xiuwan still wanted to resist: "Mother, I can go to live elsewhere, why do I want to go to Liuzhou?" "That place is really bad, and the cousin of the Xue family is also very scary, and she won't be restrained to death when she gets there!

Mrs. Cui became angry: "Do you still want to live as freely as you used to live in Fuzhou?" Now that the whole family is worried because of you, what else do you want! I tell you, if your sister can't enter the county palace because of you, you, you—I don't have you as a daughter! ”

Cui Xiuwan was frightened, and then she was a little aggrieved: "I didn't want that family affair at the beginning——"

With a snap, she had already been slapped in the face by Mrs. Cui. Mrs. Cui's eyes widened: "You are simply unreasonable!" I'll leave tomorrow, and I don't have to say anything! ”

After she said that, she got up and went out, closed the door with a bang, and shouted to the thrush: "Lock the doors and windows!" ”

"Mother-" Cui Xiuwan threw herself on the door, "Yinzhu, ask Yinzhu to accompany me to Liuzhou!" ”

Mrs. Cui said coldly: "Yinzhu has already been martyred, and you will die when you are buried." ”

Cui Xiuwan was terrified for a while. Mrs. Cui had already taken the lock from the thrush, locked the door with her own hands, turned around and led the person away.

The doors and windows were closed, and the sky outside began to darken, and the room was covered with a layer of shadow. Cui Xiuwan slowly slid on the ground against the door panel, curled up in the shadows. Mrs. Cui made it clear that Yinzhu had already been martyred, so she had to die this time. And what about her? Her funeral has already been done, will her mother let her ...... because of her sister's family affairs

No, it definitely won't! Cui Xiuwan tried her best to comfort herself. This is her home, this is her biological mother, biological brother, not the Wei family, not Mrs. Wei! At most, it just sent her farther away. But Liuzhou is so far away, so bitter, and the Xue family's cousin is so strict and old-fashioned, how will she live in the future? My mother said that she should live for a few years, but how many years did she want to live? What if, what if they don't let her come back?

Surely she won't be allowed to come back, right? Cui Xiuwan thought in a trance. As long as she appears, it is the crime of bullying, unless she is so old that she has changed her appearance and becomes unrecognizable to anyone, she is safe.

It's so old that it's changed...... Cui Xiuwan subconsciously reached out and touched her delicate cheeks, she was only twenty years old, and she was still so far away from her, did she have to live in that ghost place in Liuzhou all the time? Could it be that her mother found a family affair for her in Liuzhou and quietly married?

Cui Xiuwan knows such a thing. Some people's lost daughters are reluctant to be sent to the family temple, so they are sent away, fake the identity of a widow, and find an ordinary family to marry outside. Such a woman, if she is lucky enough to marry a family that does not care, may be able to live a peaceful life, but compared to their sisters, she is not a person of the world after all.

Just like now, she and Cui Youwan, one is going to be sent to Lingnan and Baiyi, and the other is going to enter the county king's mansion and be the side concubine of the fourth grade. Since then, the south and the north of the world have been thousands of miles apart, and the gap in their identities can be described by thousands of miles.

However, she should have been the one who was the scene at the beginning. Even at that time, she was not a concubine, but a concubine. Cui Xiuwan thought vaguely, for the first time, there was a bitter thing that seemed to be called regret began to churn out of her chest. Shen Shu's figure appeared in front of her again, and gradually became clear from a blur: tall, heroic, fierce, and always polite every time he came to Cui's house......

Mrs. Cui came out of Cui Xiuwan's courtyard and went to the next room. Yinzhu had already been pressed with dumb medicine, rolling on the ground in pain, making a ho-ho sound in his throat, but he couldn't spit out half a word, and only stared at Mrs. Cui with a pair of eyes, his eyes were both surprised and puzzled, and full of resentment and begging.

Mrs. Cui didn't look at her at first, but only asked Bai Ling: "The medicine is also filled?" ”

Bai Ling bowed his head and said, "It's all in the medicine." "It's about Croton.

"Take a good look at her." Mrs. Cui thought about the reaction of people after taking Croton, and couldn't help frowning, "Don't give her anything to eat yet." "This pulls and pours, how can Cui Jing take her on the road? According to the plan, when you go out of the city, you will be loaded into a garbage truck, and some of the smell will be just that, and you can't transport the garbage all the way to Fuzhou.

As she spoke, Yin Zhu had already reacted, her stomach wringing and aching, and some stains gradually spread under her body. Mrs. Cui hurriedly retreated, sighed and went back to her yard. It is said that this method is to cut the meat with a blunt knife, and death does not make people die happily, and it is better to beat it to death with a board. But if you want to pretend to be sick and die, this is the only way to make people unable to detect the clues.

"Mother-" Cui Youwan had been waiting in the room for a long time, and when she saw Mrs. Cui coming in, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Cui saw her little daughter's somewhat haggard face, and her heart suddenly hardened again. Yinzhu's girl helped Cui Xiuwan elope, and she was killed in whose house, anyway, they all died, so what difference did it make if she died? Now the Cui family is counting on Cui Youwan, and they can't lose a big one because of a small one. At this time, a woman's kindness is useless.

"Mother locked up my sister?" Cui Youwan frowned slightly, "In this way, will my sister think of a way to run back to Quanzhou again?" "Cui Xiuwan is still unwilling to obey at this time?

Mrs. Cui didn't hear what her little daughter meant, and said casually: "The doors and windows are locked, and there are still people watching outside, so she can't get out." As he spoke, he sighed, "This time, for you, your sister will also be wronged." Your cousin of the Xue family has big rules, detain her for two years first, find her a solid and kind person in Liuzhou, and marry her. The place is damp and hot, and I heard that there are many poisonous insects and miasma, and if you have a good life in the future, you should also take care of your sister more. ”

Cui Youwan pursed her lips, just wanting to sneer twice. For her sake, Cui Xiuwan was wronged? Cui Xiuwan's grievances now are all self-inflicted! Since she eloped, why did she run back willfully, did she think about it for her family? Now she can only be a side concubine, a concubine for one day and a concubine for life, is her life very good?

However, she didn't spit out a word of these words, only lowered her head and said lightly: "This is natural." "Let's wait until her life is better, even if she has the support of the Queen Mother, she always has to think of ways to fight Shen Shu's heart to be serious, this point, the Queen Mother not only can't help her, but will also drag her back, it all depends on herself.

"Madam, the palace has rewarded two bottles of jade cream." Shi Qing held two white jade vials and got up happily, "It was the queen mother who rewarded our girl." ”

"Jade Cream? That's good stuff! Mrs. Cui was also happy, "Hurry up, I'll use it now." I heard that this jade face paste is a secret recipe that is not passed down in the palace, and with this, your face will definitely be restored to its original state! ”

Cui Youwan looked at the two small bottles that were just the length of her fingers. The cork is sealed with wax, and as soon as it is pulled out, it overflows with a slightly bitter fragrance, which is slightly cool at first when applied to the face, and then slightly warmed, which is indescribably comfortable.

She was also pleasantly surprised in her heart - with this thing, take care of her face, she will always have a way to win over Shen Shu. After all, what else does the Jiang family have besides beauty? Medicine? Shen Shu wants a wife, not Langzhong. No matter what kind of beauty, there will always be a day when color decays and love relaxation, not to mention the status of Shen Shu, what is the difficulty of being a beauty? For a woman to hold on to her husband for a long time, it is not just her appearance!

At the cold food banquet, the queen mother personally pointed out the news that the Cui family girl was a side concubine to King Anjun, and with the end of the cold food banquet, it spread at dusk like the light smoke that "dispersed into the Wuhou family".

Speaking of which, the Cui family and the King of Anjun are really related, the first emperor referred to the eldest girl of the Cui family, and now the eldest girl is dead, and the second girl is married. It's a pity that the blessing is a little worse in the end, so I can only be a side concubine.

However, although it is a side concubine, it is personally referred to by the Queen Mother, and Cui Zhifu has the name of a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, which is different from ordinary side concubines. It is said that the Queen Mother said in person that Princess Anjun was going to preside over the pox planting, and it was inevitable that there would be no one in charge in the house.

Of course, just listen to this kind of talk. The women in the back house, who doesn't know what this means? It is clear that the Queen Mother wants the Cui family to take over the power of the county palace.

"How can the Queen Mother point the Cui family into the county king's mansion!" In the Jiang Mansion, the Lord of Nanhua County took this matter as a fresh statement, and Jiang Heng blew up, "At the beginning, the King of Anjun traveled thousands of miles to rescue the Cui Governor's Mansion, but because he was not saved, the Cui family still complained, but it was because he signed the deed in advance that he couldn't say anything." How can such a woman be pointed into the county king's mansion and let her be the housekeeper? ”

The lord of Nanhua was unhappy by his son. However, since that year, Jiang Heng was ill, so scared that she didn't even dare to let him participate, and then her arrogance in front of her son gradually lowered, plus in the past few years, the capital has been relatively calm, and the family affairs with the Marquis of Jinghai have also made considerable progress, and the temper of the lord of Nanhua County has been much more relaxed than before, and after listening to his son's words at this time, he can actually hold back his anger, and said in a good voice: "The queen mother is also well-intentioned, and there can't be no one in charge in the palace......"

Jiang Heng sneered: "King Anjun is not suspicious......

The lord of Nanhua was blocked. What Jiang Heng said was completely true, but the Queen Mother was almost her adoptive mother, and it was really unpleasant for her son to say this. The lord of Nanhua held back for a long time, and finally was about to stare at her, when she suddenly felt a hot little thing hugging her legs, and said in a milky voice: "Grandmother, hug-"

This is Sister Bao, the eldest daughter of the Wen family. When he was just born, the lord of Nanhua County heard that it was a granddaughter, and he was immediately angry, and he almost had to put a few more people in his son's room, but Jiang Junma made a fire. It's only now that Sister Bao is growing up, she can walk staggeringly, and she can call people in a milky voice, and the lord of Nanhua gradually likes it, and she doesn't care about being a girl.

And this year, Wen's diagnosis of the happy pulse again, the lord of Nanhua is looking forward to his grandson, and it is more pleasing to the eye when he looks at his granddaughter, and at this moment he saw Sister Bao holding herself, and hurriedly hugged her and said, "Okay, grandmother." "Leave behind my son's disrespectful words.

Jiang Heng was so annoyed that he didn't even have a good meal to eat and went back to the front yard. Jiang Junma knew his son's thoughts, followed him to the study, and then said leisurely: "You also know that King Anjun didn't mention this matter, so what are you afraid of?" ”

In the past few years, Jiang Junma has not left the capital again, and his health has improved, but he has added a few stars to his hair. When Jiang Heng saw his father like this, his heart was also a little sour, and he said in a low voice: "But the matter of the back house, I'm afraid that King Anjun can't take care of it." ”

Jiang Jun Ma smiled slightly: "Princess Anjun is a capable person. ”

Jiang Heng couldn't help but smile slightly. That's right, the eldest girl of Pharmacist Jiang is a capable person.

Jiang Junma smiled at his son, and said, "You are not young this year." The Jinghai Marquis Mansion also wants to discuss a happy event. "Cao Hui is eighteen years old, if it weren't for the Cao family's reluctance to marry their daughter too early, they would have married at this time," the Cao family also values you-" You don't even have a reputation for raising people, and you are willing to marry your daughter, which shows sincerity.

Of course, Jiang Heng has not lived in vain in the past few years. Although he did not participate in last year's Autumn Festival, the head of the academy read his article and said that it was good, and he decided that it was no problem for him to go down to the Autumn Festival. Speaking of the next subject, he is only in his early twenties, although he is not as dazzling as those seventeen or eighteen-year-olds, but it is not bad.

What's more, there was a county lord in the Jiang family, and his eldest brother Jiang Wu has now been promoted to the next level, and with his elder brother in front, his younger brother's career is naturally smoother. And the Jiang family's back house is quiet, and the Marquis of Jinghai took a fancy to this, so he was willing to marry his daughter.

Jiang Heng lowered his head: "I listen to my father." In fact, after the Anjun Wang and his wife returned to Beijing, he quietly went to the vicinity of the Anjun Wangfu a few times, but unfortunately he didn't see anyone. However, Princess Anjun went to Huangzhuang to supervise the production of pox vaccines, and he knew the news that King Anjun was also accompanying him, which shows that the husband and wife have a deep relationship, and it is not a lie. In this case, she is living happily and comfortably, and he should rest assured, "I will work hard in the next autumn festival." "The delusion in my heart in the past is just a thought after all, but I don't know what she is doing now......

Taohua is now watching Jiang Bohua write. may have inherited Jiang Xi's temperament of being at ease with what he encountered, Jiang Bohua lived well in the county king's mansion, even if Taohua couldn't guard him all the time, he was quite happy.

Of course, his life is indeed happier than when he was in the Jiang family, not to mention anything else, Shen Shu has already taken him to ride a horse once, and promised to raise him a dog, and in addition, he can hold a wooden knife and a wooden sword every day to fight with the guards specially assigned to him for half an hour, and he is simply happy.

"Ming'er Xiumu, you go back and see your wife." Taohua checked Jiang Baihua's words and advised, "The gifts are all ready for you, don't forget to bring them." If my sister can't pick you up, the guards will bring you back in the evening. ”

Jiang Bohua nodded obediently. Usually he lives too happily to think of his mother, but now that his sister says this, he also misses Cao a little, after all, he is his biological mother, even if he is not close, there will always be a trace of connection.

After arranging for Jiang Baihua to sleep, Taohua came out of the courtyard where he lived and subconsciously reached out and touched his lower abdomen. Now her physical age is sixteen years old, but in terms of psychological age, she is already in her early forties, and she has a deep relationship with Shen Shu, she really wants to have a child.

Sighing softly, Momoka let go of her hand. The sixteen-year-old body is still too young to have a child. And now is not a good time to have children, so wait.

On the night of the Cold Food Festival, because there are no fireworks, the whole capital seems to become exceptionally cool and peaceful. In this tranquility, the Cui family entered a dilapidated carriage through the back door. This car looks like the kind of car that is common in the capital to pull ash and garbage to the outside of the city, no matter how the body is washed, there is a lingering smell, which is not stronger than the car that pours night incense.

In the pre-dawn night, several figures quietly lifted a long object out of the house and put it on the cart. It looked like a roll of bedding, but occasionally squirmed, as if it were wrapped in some living thing......

"Is it tightly tied?" Someone whispered.

"Don't worry, you can't run." The other voice replied in a low voice, and looked at the sky again, "It's going to be dawn soon, I haven't given her anything to eat, and I don't think there's anything to pour out." ”

Indeed, the deepest darkness was fading, revealing a white line of fish belly on the horizon. This is the first seven of the Cui Governor's Mansion, for the sake of the second girl of the Cui family, the Cui family has decided to send the coffin of the Cui Governor's Mansion back to his hometown after the first seven ceremonies, so as not to stay in the house and let the red and white happy events collide, which is unlucky.
