Xi Cui later returned to the Hou Mansion and was very entangled in whether he should tell his wife about meeting Huineng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Just as she hesitated, three days flew by. But there are some things that cannot be concealed without saying them.

On this day, Xi Cui was combing Xi Yunting's hair, and the two little girls were talking and laughing, which was very pleasant, but they heard someone shouting Xi Cui outside the door. Answered, Xi Cui was just about to go out but saw Xi Yunting blocking in front of her, rushed out, and immediately raised her voice when she saw Xi Liang standing behind the round arch, "Xi Liang, you are upsetting my brother again?" Guan is like this, but if you are afraid of being punished, you will come to my side to find Xi Cui to help you talk, who are you and I Xi Cui? She's Miss Ben Mine! You are leaving me with a big thing, Xi Cui is combing my hair! ”

Seeing that it was his own young lady, Xi Liang's straight waist that was originally standing immediately bowed down, "Miss misunderstood, it's not a slave looking for Xi Cui." It's the lady who wants to see Xi Cui. ”

"Mother?" As soon as she heard her wife's name, Xi Yunting's momentum immediately came down and looked at Xi Cui, "But Xi Cui promised to accompany me to class today......"

Xi Cui smiled and patted Miss's hand, "Miss go first, Xi Cui will go to find Miss when she sees Madame." Luckily? ”

"Talking counts?" Xi Yunting clapped her hands, looking childlike and innocent.

Xi Liang in the distance watched silently, that is, Xi Cui can coax this person, and he may not be able to make a fuss if he changes someone else. Eighty percent of today's schoolwork will be waived.

Xi Cui followed Xi Liang to the main hall, but found that it was not just the lady who wanted to meet.

The main seat in the main hall, Hou Ye sat on the right side, Mrs. sat on the left side, Xi Yunjian stood beside Hou Ye in a cyan corset brocade robe, and Qingzhi (the big girl next to Mrs.) stood on Mrs. There are three outsiders sitting at the bottom, two of the Hou Ye's subordinates, dressed more exquisitely, dignified and atmospheric, the woman in front of her who looks like she is nearly forty years old, I saw that she was wearing a thin gold silk smoke and light purple yarn, a silk skirt wrapped, low hanging blue hair obliquely inserted into the big red jade butterfly hairpin, the fan shook gently, and the end was the style of the prince's family. Although the latter is dressed similarly, he has a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, and he looks much more amiable. Madame is not very particular about this one, with heavy makeup on her face, a fancy red satin robe embroidered with a few pink peach blossoms, and a smile on her face, which looks very festive. If Xi Cui is not mistaken, this should be the legendary matchmaker.

Xi Cui quickly swept the people around her, immediately saluted in a proper manner, and then stood aside without squinting and waiting for Madame's command.

"Xi Cui, I called you over today because I have something to ask, and you must answer truthfully." Madame looked at the two ladies, "Madame Wang, Princess Li, this girl in front of you is the Xi Cui you are looking for." ”

"You are Xi Cui, raise your head......" Lady Zisha, who was known as Mrs. Wang, stood up, walked up to Xi Cui, reached out to hook Xi Cui's chin, and shook her head after staring at her face carefully for a long time, "Are you the person who Master Huineng criticizes the Great Blessing?" I can't see anything special, what does the master say about you? Life will be rich and healthy, and the people who are protected by the girl's life will also be rich and healthy because of the girl? But is that really the case? ”

"Mrs., Master Huineng is thinking that the slave and maid came to the rescue, knowing that the slave and maid are slaves, he wants to say a few good words to comfort the slave, and he can't take it seriously......" Although Xi Cui knew that this matter would be taken out one day, he didn't want to put it in such a scene as it is now, so he had to reply with a long time of psychological calculation.

"Say what? Master Huineng is a high-ranking monk, how many people want to ask to see each other, how can you be a girl, how can you be comforted by the master? Don't say anything about the scene, just tell us if there's anything about it. Madame Wang was obviously very dissatisfied with Xi Cui's words.

Xi Cui didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to answer in a low voice that there was indeed such a thing.

The lady asked Xi Cui to recount the situation of the day, and Xi Cui had to tell the story. When she had finished telling her what Huineng wanted her to tell herself, Madame's hand visibly clenched the back of the chair. Does the master want her to marry Yun Ting within a month? But in front of him, the Wang Liu family is in the Hou Mansion and is so arrogant, if Yun Ting really enters her door, how can she have an Ansheng? But after all, this was the master's order, and she could only do it. Fortunately, she has been secretly cultivating Xi Cui all these years, and this girl can be regarded as smart, and Master Huineng has approved her with such a good personality, presumably she can really protect Yun Ting as the master said. Mrs. Hou looked at Xi Cui, she seemed to be a maid all these years, but in fact, she was raised and raised by her daughter, which was almost the same as her own daughter. It is self-evident why Wang Liu came to propose Xi Cui to be a dowry this time, and he really wants to give it to his sick son. There is no such good thing in the world, how can a flower that she has cultivated with so many years of hard work cheapen her in vain? Although Xi Cui hasn't said it all these years, she still knows some of this girl's thoughts, don't say that she is small, even if it is a deep mansion, she may not be willing to enter. If it weren't for her daughter, she would have wanted to give her freedom and let her out. But it can't be like this now, but she doesn't want to wronged Xi Cui anymore, and she will definitely give Xi Cui a good home after three years.

Wang Liu looked at Xi Cui's eyes with a little disdain and a little inquiry, but he still didn't say anything. Princess Li, who came in company, stood up with a smile, took Xi Cui's hand and looked at it again, "I think this girl is still good." Speaking in an orderly manner, standing in front of us is also well-behaved, and then look at this appearance, I dare not say that the country and the city will be overwhelmed in the future, and there are still beautiful and lovely people. Our family Yufeng also saw it that day, and praised it a few times. Don't the two sisters of our little ancestor know it? It's hard to get his praise, and now if this matter is so decided, Mrs. Hou will cut her love, Sister Liu, what do you say? As he spoke, the matchmaker on the other side squeezed his eyes.

The matchmaker quickly went up to add good words, and the scene eased down. Xi Cui heard some eyebrows from the matchmaker's words, it turned out that the lady was going to be the young lady's dowry maid and go to her husband's house with the young lady. And the young lady's husband's family is this Mrs. Wang's family. Although this royal family is not a prince and earl on the surface, it is also a dignified uncle's mansion. The lord of the family, now aside from the identity of the queen's younger brother, is also an official worship of the second grade. It is also this Wang Shangshu who has a high prestige in the Tang Dynasty, and has won the trust of the emperor with his upright and resolute style. Helplessly, the Wang family has no children and grandchildren, the queen has no heirs, and Wang Shangshu has only one son, but he is still sick in bed all the year round. If it weren't for this, people would not be willing to marry Xi Yunting. According to the matchmaker, the marriage is scheduled for the 23rd of this month, and there is only half a month left, but does Mrs. want Xi Cui to be a dowry at this time? Why wasn't there even a sign before?

Thinking of Qi Yu waiting for him outside, Xi Cui couldn't hold his breath anymore, but no matter how he was, he couldn't embarrass Mrs. Hou in front of outsiders. Xi Cui could only clench his fists and wait......

The matter was finally negotiated, the two ladies got up to say goodbye, and Mrs. Wang looked at Xi Cui inexplicably before going out. When there were no outsiders in the main hall, Hou Ye suddenly spoke, "Everyone is gone, you Lao Tzu I want to be angry and have no object, can you let go of Yunjian?" Xi Cui found that Xi Yunjian's hand had been pressing on Hou Ye's back, no wonder Hou Ye, who had always been impulsive and hot, could still be silent today when Wang Liu was so rude. It should be Madame who asked Xi Yunjian to do this.

As soon as Xi Yunjian's hand was released, Hou Ye jumped up, "This Wang Liu clan is really too deceitful!" She dares to do this in the Hou Mansion, does Yun Ting still have a way to live in her hands? You just found the way of the old monk of Huineng, and you have to listen to his good daughter to send it to people to spoil people! According to me, the thousand-year-old Lingzhi Lao Tzu is chopped up and fed to the dog, and it is not cheap to feed the dog That kid of the Wang family looks down on my daughter, and I don't look down on her sick son! ”

"Master Hou, it's not right for you to say this, the thousand-year-old Lingzhi is yours? It's not given by Master Huineng, what the master said back then was to exchange it for Yun Ting's marriage, why don't you see you so angry when you take other people's things? Madame glanced at the Hou Ye, picked up the teacup and scraped the tea powder on it, and took a sip.

"This ...... I didn't know that he was the Wang kid he fell in love with Yun Ting! Hou Ye sat down stupidly, and looked at his wife, who also picked up the teacup, but took a big sip.

"Xi Cui, did you understand what you said here today? I won't go around the bend with you, you and Ximei will be the young lady's companion to the Wang family together. I know you don't want to, but you have also seen the situation today, the Wang family opened their mouths to ask for you, and I can't refuse. But you don't need to be too disappointed, for three years, I only need you to accompany Miss for three years. After three years, I will find someone to deliver the deed of sale to you, and if you have a place to go, I will do it for yourself, and if not, I will promise you a better life. "Madame said this very tactfully, as a slave, it is already a great grace to be treated like this by the master. Xi Cui lowered her head, did she want her to just accept her fate and thank her? Who made himself just a minion? But three years, Qi Yu is sixteen this year, and he will be nineteen years old in three years, can she wait, can he? Even if he could, what about his family? Although her father and mother flickered her words over the years, she still heard some meanings, Qi Yu's mother wanted to withdraw from the marriage and find a girl with status for Qi Yu. Didn't she just give her an excuse if something happened to her now?

Xi Cui thought of the old monk Huineng. It's all to blame on the old monk, if he hadn't talked nonsense, how could things have gotten to this point? Thinking of this, Xi Cui regretted even more that he had impulsively saved people at that time, otherwise so many things would not have happened.

Seeing that she didn't reply for a long time, Hou Ye was anxious, "You girl, Mrs. told you like this, what else do you want?" We know you don't want to, but you also have to think about the master's difficulties, don't you? You know how the Hou Mansion has treated you all these years, right? ”

Xi Cui knew Hou Ye's temper, and he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he couldn't let this master get angry. "It's up to Madame to decide."

After getting Xi Cui's words, Mrs. finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked at Hou Ye, her eyes accidentally swept over Xi Yunjian, and his hand paused obviously. This kid? The Xi Yunjian in her impression has always been moody, how could she show her nervousness so easily? Her gaze quickly swept over Xi Cui......

"In this case, you go back to find Miss, the Hou Mansion will send someone to your house to meet your father and mother in the next few days, and explain this matter to your family. You can come to me if you need anything. Come to Fuyuan today to hand over the matter, come to me tomorrow, there are some things I have to make clear to you. After Mrs. finished speaking, she took Hou Ye away and took Qingzhi away.

In the entire main hall, there were only two left, Xi Yunjian and Xi Cui.

Xi Cui was still in a sad mood, completely unaware that Xi Yunjian was already standing in front of him.

"Do you know what happens when you are a dowry maid?" Xi Yunjian's cold voice came from above his head, pulling Xi Cui's thoughts back.

She looked up and found that Xi Yunjian's hand was on her shoulder, and she was only facing his chest so level, and his breath came from above, touching Xi Cui's bangs, and his forehead was a little itchy. "Young Master, are you ...... Say what you want to say, so Xi Cui is not used to it. "She has followed Xi Yunting all these years, and she has not been close to Xi Yunjian. But that was when Xi Yunting was there, and there was still no time to be alone like now. What's more, she has been silently abiding by the marriage contract with Qi Yu in her heart, and she naturally has to avoid suspicion when getting along with other men.

And Xi Yunjian was also a little overwhelmed by his actions at this moment, just watching this girl being inspected by Mrs. Wang like that, his heart began to be entangled. I was very angry at Mrs. Wang's rudeness, but I also hoped in my heart that she could look down on her and not want her. When he knew that she was going to be Yun Ting's dowry maid, he was inexplicably reluctant in his heart. Yun Ting's unintentional jokes kept appearing in her ears, "Brother, you married Xi Cui to be Yun Ting's sister-in-law, so that Yun Ting can be with you forever......" At that time, it was just Yun Ting's nonsense, but now it seems that she has taken it seriously, at least she has drawn Xi Cui within her own scope.

Coming to his senses, Xi Yunjian let go of Xi Cui, "Let's not talk about this first, do you know why Mrs. Wang has to be Yun Ting's dowry?" ”

"Isn't it because of the old monk's words that I want me to follow my uncle? How could I not understand? Now I can only take one step at a time, the old monk is good, I just hope that the uncle he gave to the young lady is also good, so that I have a chance to escape that fate. Xi Cui lowered her head, her body was thin and looked so small, but the words she said were like adults who had experienced vicissitudes. Suddenly, she raised her head with her usual smile on her face, "It's only been three years, hasn't it?" Young master, do you think I'm still very young? As long as I protect Miss for three years, I will definitely have a better life in the future. This is what Mrs. promised, Mrs. has always said the same, isn't it the young master? "If I can't escape that fate after all in the past three years, as long as I can keep Miss healthy, Madame will also get me out of the Wang family, right? She only dared to ask in her heart.

"What do you have to say to your family? When I arrived at Wang's house, it was not as convenient as it is now, so Mrs. Wang was not easy to get along with at first glance. Xi Yunjian could only change the topic, he knew that Xi Cui still had a father and a pair of younger siblings at home, and Xi Cui was thinking about these family members the most in the Hou Mansion.

"Oh, yes, Daddy...... This matter has to trouble the young master to intercede with his wife, the mother is not in good health, and it is best not to let her know about this kind of thing. Xi Cui seemed to remember something important, and grabbed Xi Yunjian's arm, "There is one more thing, is the young master willing to help the slave?" ”

"What?"

"I have said that I have been close since I was a child, it is a good family, the surname of the son of the family is Yu, I have known him since childhood, and I originally said that I would get married when I redeemed myself next year, but now it seems that I am going to lose my words. Master, you tell him on my behalf, the three-year period is not long, it is not short, if he has difficulties, he can look at other good girls, I don't complain, I can't complain, who knows what will happen in these three years? ”

Did she say kiss? Why did she never know about this, Xi Yunjian looked at the little girl in front of her, and thought that any secrets between her and Yun Ting had already been shared, and Yun Ting, who couldn't hide it, would definitely tell all the words to herself. It turned out that she still kept her own secrets, and she didn't look like a thirteen-year-old child at all. I don't know why, hearing that she personally pushed her marriage, Xi Yunjian was still very happy in his heart.

In the afternoon, Xi Cui went to find Xi Yunting, and Xi Yunjian went out.

Xi Liang had sent Xi Cui home before, so he naturally knew which village Xi Cui's family lived in, and when he inquired about that village, he knew where Qi Yu lived.

After knocking on the door, what came out was a woman who was dressed simply but very exquisitely, and seeing that Xi Yunjian had an extraordinary temperament and was not lazy, she bowed down and led people in. Qi Yu came out of the study, and was a little surprised to see that he didn't know the person who came, but he didn't show it, just sat down calmly. Although the Qi family has fallen to this point, it has not lost the style of a scholarly family. But these are not the same in Xi Yunjian's eyes, in his opinion, this is what Hou Ye said about slapping a swollen face and becoming fat.

The teacups on the table were never lifted, Xi Yunjian directly explained his intentions, and left after Xi Cui's words, Qi Yu behind him was just silent, and only at the moment they went out did they hear the sound of a broken teacup.

Back in the city, Xi Yunjian found a teahouse to sit down. Xi Liang, who has been following him, couldn't help but sigh, Xi Cui is better than himself, he entered the house together back then, and now he has a big face enough to let the young master help spread the word, and now he is still the young master walking behind his ass, and he has been like a day for decades. It's strange to say, it's the first time that the young master has entered this teahouse. If he hadn't followed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Xi Yunjian, the master, was actually sitting in the teahouse listening to music.

"Xi Yunjian, do you also listen to music?" Before anyone heard his voice, Xi Liang trembled when he heard this voice. This lord is ignorant of everything, and he doesn't pay attention to several princes. But it is very unusual for his own young master, no matter where he is, as long as he sees the young master, he must come over to join in the fun.

A white shadow shook in front of him, and there was a person sitting opposite, Xi Yunjian only raised his eyes, "Nangong Yufeng, do you really take a fancy to me?" Some people have already said that you rejected the princess for my sake, I heard that King Li is also very sick, do you think that this matter will reach the ears of his old man, and make the old prince happy! ”
