Chapter 376: Grandmother Is Sick
Jiang Mi turned his head to look at Old Madam Cui, smiled, and explained: "Since I came back from Youzhou, I have been arranging people to collect the big and small events in Bianliang City. Just now, I just gave all the information and talents I have gathered over the past few days to Your Majesty. Of course, the most important reason why Chai Rong was moved at that time was that she offered the method of intelligence analysis and induction and the talents she specially cultivated in this area.
Jiang Mi's words sounded ordinary, but the more Old Madam Cui thought about it, the more shocked she became, and after a while, she asked hesitantly, "What do you mean, what does General Li ......?"
"Yes!" Jiang Mi glanced at Cui Ziying next to him, and said slowly: "Not only General Li, but also Concubine Xian's mother's family, as well as the families of several of the girls in the restaurant that day." The old lady knows that this big family will inevitably hide dirt and dirt, and the key question is whether it has been discovered or not. β
I didn't expect Jiang Mi to be unmoving, she was such a big move, the old lady Cui on the side looked at Jiang Mi in astonishment, Cui Ziying was in tears, she covered her mouth tightly, and secretly thought: Sister-in-law is all for me...... She's all for me!
Just when Cui Ziying wanted to come like this, Jiang Mi smiled at Old Madam Cui again, only to hear her continue softly: "Old Madam, things in this world have always been rigid and easy to break, some things, if you can pretend to be deaf and dumb, don't hurt the hearts of the few remaining relatives!"
Jiang Mi's words clearly meant something, and Old Madam Cui glanced at Cui Ziying on the side, and her face sank slightly.
Old Madam Cui was angry, Jiang Mi naturally didn't want to look at her face anymore, so she smiled proudly and casually confessed to Old Madam Cui, Jiang Mi asked the carriage to stop, and then she Shi Shiran jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the Yang guards who came up.
Old Madam Cui looked at the figure of the woman who straightened her back and left gracefully, watched her get into the carriage surrounded by those guards, and watched the carriage leave in a grand manner. I couldn't help but think of the arrogance that the woman saw between her eyebrows, and then when she saw her granddaughter on the side looking towards the Yang family, her eyes were full of admiration, and suddenly, Mrs. Cui pursed her lips.
As soon as the carriage returned to the house, Mrs. Cui sent a number of people out, and at night, those people came to report.
A steward stood in front of Mrs. Cui and said one by one: "Your Majesty has not revealed what the Yang family has offered, but I heard that Concubine Xian Niangniang just said something about the Yang family, and she was scolded by Her Majesty
Old Madam Cui's face changed, and she secretly exclaimed: This evaluation is ugly, the prince of a dignified country has received such an evaluation......
At this time, the steward was still saying: "Because of Your Majesty's words, the ministers have been speculating about what the Yang family has offered, and some people think that it is only a good policy for governing the country that Your Majesty attaches great importance to." β
Then, the steward said: "Now, if you don't know how many hole cards the Yang family has, I'm afraid that not many people dare to make a move on her." β
As he spoke, the steward couldn't help but pause when he saw that Old Madam Cui's face was wrong, and he asked hesitantly, "Old Madam?"
Old Madam Cui suddenly came back to her senses, she waved her hand, and motioned for the steward to go out.
As soon as the steward left, Mrs. Cui sat motionless on the couch in a daze, and after several servant women around saw this, they glanced at each other, and a handmaid stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Old lady, what's wrong?"
Old Madam Cui suddenly reached out and clasped the handmaiden's hand.
She buckled it very tightly, very tightly, so tight that the handmaiden's wrist hurt, and after a while, Mrs. Cui came with a low wheez, "Ah Xiu, you said that Xu Er that day was also a great talent for analyzing data and analyzing the newspaper, do you think it is common for people with such talent?"
Several handmaidens are all smart people who have been with Mrs. Cui for many years, in fact, they have a faint feeling for this, but no one dares to mention it casually. Now that Old Madam Cui said this, the faces of several people suddenly changed, and the middle-aged woman named Ah Xiu hesitated for a while, and then replied in a low voice: "Yes, it should be rare." β
With a "whew", Mrs. Cui stood up, she hurriedly walked around the room, and while she was wandering, she gasped and said: "Yes, they all said that there are not many people with Xu Er's talent, but how come in the blink of an eye, the Yang family we met has exactly the same talent as Xu Er?"
Her hands trembled sharply, and after a while, Old Madam Cui murmured again, "Also, what a proud person my Xuan'er is, how could he look at a notorious widow again and again?"
The fingers that Mrs. Cui put on her lap kept trembling, trembling, and after a while, she picked up a cup of tea and took a sip indiscriminately, before she slowed down her voice and said slowly: "I just said, how did Ziying encounter something, but the Yang family, who is not related to him, has repeatedly helped with his life?"
The more Mrs. Cui pondered, the more she spoke quickly, and after a while, she slowly took a step back, and after sitting down on the couch exhausted, Mrs. Cui said in a low voice: "Xu Er is played by the Jiang family, if the Yang family is also played by the Jiang family, then everything makes sense!"
Almost as soon as Mrs. Cui's "played by Jiang's" came out, everyone in the side room was dumb and deaf!
At this moment, Mrs. Cui softened to the back of the couch, as if she was paralyzed, and she had no strength, and after a while, she slowly closed her eyes and said in a low voice: "Ah Xiu, am I called having eyes and no beads?"
The handmaiden's lips moved as Ah Xiu, and finally she sighed lightly and whispered, "Old lady, this is something that no one can imagine...... Besides, she doesn't have to be her. β
Old Madam Cui shook her head, and she said tiredly: "I knew that the Jiang family had such a great talent, I should have given her face in the first place, and I was not in a hurry to accept the daughters of the six families!"
The first time Ah Xiu saw that the old lady who had never admitted her mistake and never admitted defeat had such a disgraced face, she hurriedly said: "Don't think like this, old lady, even if the Jiang family is talented, it should be beaten if she is too jealous, it is not the old lady's fault!"
"No, it's the old man's fault. Old Madam Cui shook her head and said weakly: "Back then, if the Jiang family was also the daughter of five surnames and seven sects, even if it was just a concubine, our Cui family would not dare to give her so much face, let her take a concubine in less than three months, and she would accept six concubines." She shook her head, stopped Ah Xiu's persuasion, and said in a low voice: "The identity of the six women is a thousand times more valuable to her, and she was admitted together without any buffer back then, which was originally humiliating." β
Old Madam Cui even said this kind of heartfelt words, where did the maidservants on the side dare to say anything?
At this moment, Mrs. Cui looked unusually haggard, she looked ahead blankly, and muttered: "Xuan'er always says that time changes, we must let go of our identity and keep pace with the times, in the past, the old body ignored it......" She sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Now I understand, it turns out that this is a dragon or a phoenix or a crow and sparrow, and it is no longer a time to see through it at a glance in the peaceful and prosperous times in the past, the original noble family bloodline has long declined, and the dragon and phoenix have been hidden in the folk ......"
Hearing this, the servant woman named Ah Xiu couldn't help but respond: "Yes, compared to this Jiang family, the six nobles who were carefully selected are not just a little bit worse?"
As she spoke, when she turned her head to see Old Madam Cui, she found that her face was extremely ugly. This kind of ugliness is, if it is sad and regretful, it is more like a kind of defeat caused by the destruction of faith. Ah Xiu actually felt that after such a while, his old lady seemed to be three or four years old.
The silence grew in the room.
I don't know how long it took, Old Madam Cui's murmuring continued to sound in the room, "Obviously, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, but mice can only give birth to mice...... What's wrong with this world, how can it become so thorough?"
Everyone never expected that that night, Mrs. Cui would be sick, and her illness could be called menacing.
Knowing her heart knot, the maidservant Ah Xiu did not pass through Cui Zixuan, so she sent a letter to the old mansion about Mrs. Cui's speculation about the identity of the Yang family and the reason why Mrs. Cui was sick this time.
......
On the third day, Cui Zixuan came back, he visited the old lady Cui who was dizzy, and looked at the old age, like a grandmother who would pass away in a blink of an eye, Cui Zixuan's eyes were red.
After a long while, Cui Zixuan stood up, and after he whispered a few words to the maidservants, he came to Cui Ziying's courtyard.
As soon as Cui Ziying saw her brother coming back, she rushed out, and she threw herself into her brother's arms, hugged his waist and cried loudly.
Cui Zixuan knew what she was uncomfortable with, so he hugged her tightly in his arms, and after a while, Cui Zixuan said in a low voice: "Don't be sad." β
Cui Ziying rubbed her head against her brother's chest, and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, grandmother is sick." β
This Cui Zixuan knew, and he sighed softly.
Cui Ziying choked up again: "Brother, you weren't there that day, and my grandmother knew about me in the restaurant that day...... Brother, Ah Ying is so afraid. β
Cui Zixuan hugged her and didn't say anything.
After a while, Cui Ziying sobbed and said, "Brother, I want my sister-in-law back, I want my sister-in-law back!" Speaking of this, Cui Ziying looked up at Cui Zixuan, pulled his sleeve and said: "Brother, don't dislike your sister-in-law's current appearance, Ah Ying thinks she is very good now, really, when Ah Ying sees her sister-in-law now, her heart is very down-to-earth, just like seeing her brother!"
Cui Zixuan knew what his sister was thinking, and he looked down at Cui Ziying. After looking at Cui Ziying for a while, Cui Zixuan's eyes suddenly turned red, he turned his head sideways to let the wind cool his hot and sour eyes, and said in a low voice: "Silly Aying, you think my brother is so easy to ......" He didn't continue, but after a while, he gently pressed Cui Ziying's face, so that she pressed her chest and couldn't see her expression, he whispered: "When she was naΓ―ve, my brother thought it was very good, but now that she is so invincible in front of my brother, my brother still thinks it is very good...... There are so many women in the world, just this one, whenever I see it, my brother's heart will be at peace......"
