Chapter 42: The Audience
Jiang sent Cui Keyin to Xizhimen, watched Cui Keyin get out of the car, and followed Zhang He to the palace gate, only to feel that the sky was spinning, if it wasn't for Cuihuan to hold on in time, she would have fallen to the ground.
Along the way, Zhang He looked back at Cui Keyin several times, and each time he saw Cui Keyin not squinting, walking in a proper manner, and the distance of each step was the same as that measured with a ruler.
"Sure enough, I was dumb." He muttered quietly.
When I arrived at Kunning Palace, the Queen Mother immediately met her.
After Cui Keyin saluted and straightened up, the Queen Mother took a closer look and said, "How is the female red?" ”
Cui Keyin's shoulders naturally drooped, her hands clasped together in her lower abdomen, lowered her eyelids, and said clearly: "People's girls will not be popular." ”
"Won't you be a female red?" The Queen Mother smiled: "I heard that you have been sluggish since you were a child, but Mrs. Cui didn't teach you?" ”
A chuckle rang out in the hall.
Cui Keyin didn't move, still drooping her eyelids and said: "My grandmother taught carefully, but the folk girls were stupid and didn't learn." ”
My grandmother said that it was important to hide clumsiness. Since the Queen Mother has a gap with Wei Guifei, she naturally doesn't want Wei Guifei's daughter-in-law to be smart.
The Queen Mother was in a good mood and said, "Have you ever read?" ”
"Read."
"Well, the Cui family is a family of farming and reading, and it is common for children to go to school." The Queen Mother smiled and said to Aunt Shi.
Everyone can see that she doesn't believe that Cui Keyin has read books and can read.
Aunt Shi bowed respectfully and said, "Niangniang is right." ”
"Let's go back." The Queen Mother smiled: "According to the young lady of Yao Shilang's family, I will be rewarded." ”
looks like he is not interested in Cui Keyin.
Cui Keyin saluted and said: "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's reward, and the people's daughter will retire." ”
She turned around and left under the guidance of the palace people, and the laughter of the queen mother came from behind her, and said, "The Cui family's upbringing is still good." ”
Everyone understands that what she wants to say is that a fool can teach without losing his manners in front of the palace. So they all laughed knowingly.
Jiang was helped to the carriage by Cuihuan and Lu Ying to rest, and before he could catch his breath, he saw Cui Keyin lift the curtain and get into the car, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Why did you leave the palace so quickly?" ”
Didn't it mean that the Queen Mother asked a lot of words, and if she dealt with it properly, she would still give snacks and tea? It's not even a quarter of an hour, and with the time spent back and forth, there's not a lot of breath in total, right?
"The Queen Mother asked me two words." Cui Keyin relayed the Queen Mother's words and her answer, and said, "Then the Queen Mother let me out of the palace." ”
Jiang Shihu said suspiciously: "Is the Queen Mother looking for a daughter-in-law or an embroidery girl?" Why don't you have no tea if you are not a female celebrity? ”
Cui Keyin shook her head.
The carriage couldn't stay at the gate of the palace for a long time, so Jiang had to order him to go back to the house and wait for Cui Zhenyi to go down.
Unexpectedly, they had just sat down in Chunshan Residence, and before they had taken a sip of tea, Cui Zhenyi had hurried back.
Regardless of the hot weather, the official robe was sweating on his body, and he said when he entered the door: "The Queen Mother summoned Keyin into the palace?" ”
Cui Keyin got up to salute, but was stopped by him and said, "What the Queen Mother says and does, you can tell me carefully." ”
In a few sentences in total, Cui Keyin detailed the answers between the two, as well as the conversation between the Queen Mother and the palace people around her, and even the laughter she heard was not missed.
Cui Zhenyi breathed a sigh of relief, and praised Cui Keyin and said, "You still have the wit to behave so woodenly." The Queen Mother will definitely not look down on it. ”
If he knew that his niece was so smart, he wouldn't have to bear the heart of these days in vain, and when he received the news just now, he almost fainted, and he couldn't hold the pen.
Let the maid change her clothes, and the family sat down to talk. Cui Zhenyi smiled rarely: "Madame, add a few dishes tonight, a pot of wine, I want to drink a few glasses." ”
Jiang's eyes were slightly moist, and he should be "good", and said, "Now the master can sleep peacefully, right?" ”
Cui Zhenyi laughed "hehe".
Cui Keyin lowered her head, feeling a little guilty in her heart, if she knew that she had agreed to Zhou Heng's family affairs, she didn't know how angry the eldest uncle would be.
It wasn't until the sun set that the rewards from the palace came.
Looking at the two silks placed in the middle hall, Jiang said: "It's the queen mother's reward, wait for Keyin to get married, add a box to Keyin." ”
Bringing it to your in-law's house also has face.
"Or Madame is thoughtful." Cui Zhenyi laughed, feeling very happy.
At dinner, Cui Zhenyi was rarely drunk, holding Cui Muhua's hand and just smirking.
In the evening, Zhou Heng came again, handed two boxes of bean yellow to Lu Ying, and said, "The Queen Mother summoned you to the palace?" ”
After Cui Keyin saluted, she first asked Lu Ying to make tea, and then said, "Yes." He told him about the audience and said, "Is it okay for me to do this?" ”
Zhou Heng smiled: "Don't be angry, in order to let the Queen Mother summon you, I said you very badly." ”
briefly said the matter of sending the chamberlain to slander her, and said: "If you want to be angry, just punch me twice to get angry." ”
Cui Keyin said: "Have those two chamberlains ever been punished?" ”
What if you are really beaten to death?
"Don't worry, I've already left my hands behind. How can I let the people who do my work get into dangerous places? Zhou Heng stared at Cui Keyin with a smile, with unmistakable love in his eyes.
No matter how humble the inner servant is, it is also two lives. She cared about their well-being first, and he was pleased.
Cui Keyin confirmed that the two chamberlains had become Wang Yuan's godsons, Wang Zhe's godsons, not only did they not have to worry about their lives, but they also didn't have to sweep the floor, so they couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that Wang Yuan is not too bad." ”
"Why isn't it too bad?" Zhou Heng pursed his lips and said, "You haven't seen him do bad things." Seeing Cui Keyin raised his head and listened, he said indifferently: "The tea on the little waiter who served him was hot, so he cut off his hands and buried them in flower pots to make flower fertilizer......
Before she finished speaking, Lu Ying, who came in with tea, bent over and retched.
Cui Keyin also felt that her chest and abdomen were surging, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't say it again." Then he said to Lu Ying: "Go down." ”
Zhou Heng looked at her with a smile and said, "I'll bring a set of tea sets to Ming'er, and we'll make it now." ”
Cui Keyin asked him to sit down for a while, went to make him tea, and said, "I don't have many people here, it's inconvenient to pass on a message......
For example, when he entered the palace today, he acted in line with the Queen Mother's wishes, and if he wanted to ask, he couldn't find anyone to pass the word.
Zhou Heng also thought about it and said, "It's me who owes it to consideration." Tomorrow I will send you a palace person, and I will say that the maid next to you is a relative at home, let her do some rough work, and it is very convenient to send her to pass the word and deliver things if there is something. ”
Who would pay attention to a rough maid?
Cui Keyin said: "It's more convenient to find a small guy." ”
"Okay." Zhou Heng talked about the Queen Mother again, and said: "I forgot to tell you, but fortunately, you are smart and know how to pretend to be stupid, if you are too clever, the Queen Mother will definitely not like it." ”
He got Cui Keyin's acquiescence, and he was overjoyed, not so detailed, but fortunately, once Cui Keyin knew the reason, he thought that the Queen Mother must not like her smart appearance, so she pretended to be stupid.
Thinking of the future wife, Zhou Heng couldn't help laughing.
Cui Keyin said: "I don't like female celebrities in the first place, and I don't do it well." ”
"It's okay," Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Let's raise a few more embroidery girls." ”
