Zhou Heng came out of the palace when he was in charge of the lamp and went to the mansion allocated to him.

After freshening up, I changed into clean clothes, sat behind the bookcase with the smell of tung lacquer, and listened to the distant mountains report the big and small things that happened in the court in the past day.

“…… The news of the prince's entry into Beijing has been released, and the courtiers have no reaction, but Wang Zhe inquired about what the prince said to the queen mother when he entered the palace...... It's funny to say, but now there are rumors everywhere about Cui's beauty, and Cui Shilang is in a high position again. It seems that the threshold of the Cui family is about to be stepped on by three inches by the people who are courting. ”

Although Yuanshan was telling a joke, there was no smile on his face.

Zhou Heng said "um" and said: "Cui Shuping is old-fashioned and has a very positive official style, I'm afraid he won't marry someone easily." This is something to keep an eye on. ”

Last year, his father died, and his brother succeeded to the throne, and the government was gradually controlled by the eunuch Wang Zhe. If it weren't for the fact that the six cabinet ministries were still doing something, it would be a matter of time before the DPRK was corrupted. Cui Zhenyi is in an important position, and in the current situation, how he chooses is extremely important.

Yuanshan answered with a "yes" and bowed back.

Zhou Heng walked out of the study and stood under the porch for a long time, happy and did not dare to disturb, waiting from afar.

Cui Keyin, who was also under a starry sky, leaned on the big pillow and read under the candle.

Lu Ying frowned and came in, and said, "Mrs. Jiang sent two more groups of people back, but the eldest master didn't see any of them." ”

Since the lamp, the people who came to ask for relatives have never stopped, some asked to see the eldest master, some asked to see Mrs. Jiang, and the mansion was turned upside down. These people are not small in official positions, otherwise they would not be afraid of curfews. If it goes on like this, when will it be a head?

Cui Keyin didn't raise her head, and said lightly: "The old man and the lady will handle these things, why are you in a hurry?" ”

Lu Ying was stunned and said, "Aren't I worried about Miss's reputation?" ”

"I don't have a personal affair with anyone, what do you have to worry about?"

"Miss!" Lu Ying stomped her feet and said, "Did you say that about yourself?" ”

Cui Keyin put down the book, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I'm telling the truth. Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, so why worry? ”

In a letter to her grandmother to report her safety, she tried to downplay the incident as much as possible. Otherwise, the eldest aunt and eldest brother will definitely be scolded. Thinking of her grandmother's short-term protection, she really had a smile in her eyes, and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow, so let's pack up and rest." ”

Don't panic and ask how many people are knocking.

Lu Ying's face turned red, and she waited for Cui Keyin to wash and change her clothes.

Jiang was so angry that he didn't close his eyes all night, and the next day he got up with two dark circles under his eyes, and as soon as he combed his hair, Cui Keyin came over.

"You're so early, can you have breakfast?" Seeing that Cui Keyin was full of energy and her face was ruddy, she was secretly surprised, and asked while the maid inserted a double-strand gold-inlaid hairpin with emeralds.

Cui Keyin saw that her face was haggard, and she couldn't help but say apologetically: "It's hard work, auntie." ”

Jiang's eyes turned red and said, "This kid, what did you say?" Since you were a child, your mother has not been here, so these things should naturally be handled by those of us who are elders. ”

Cui Keyin smiled, didn't say more, rolled up her sleeves, and helped Cuihuan wait for her to wash her face and makeup.

The two had breakfast together and took a carriage to the Tang Mansion.

Tang Tianzheng lives in the old house of the Tang family, in the four alleys, and it takes more than half an hour to take the car. Cui Keyin persuaded Jiang to sleep in the car for a while to catch up on sleep. Jiang really didn't have the energy, so he had to listen to her and leaned on the big pillow for a while.

The big Jiang greeted her in front of the hanging flower door, she was seven or eight points similar to the Jiang family, both had round faces, but a pair of eyes were sharper than Jiang's.

Seeing Cui Keyin's amazement, he immediately took Cui Keyin's hand and stopped her from saluting, and said with a smile: "It's all your business in the past two days, I didn't listen to it, listen, I always have to reprimand two sentences." What a girl's family, what is it like to be talked about by them like this. ”

Jiang's tears almost fell behind the two of them, and said, "My sister is still sensible, I really have no place to complain." ”

The three of them sat down in the banquet room, and Da Jiang said again: "It's just that Keyin has a good appearance and a good family background, so it's not surprising that these people flock to it." ”

If he hadn't been born in the Cui family and didn't have an uncle who was a waiter, those people might have said how ugly they would.

My sisters didn't have any scruples, Jiang told about the grievances she had suffered in the past two days, and remembered that her mother-in-law, who was far away in Taiping Lane, heard about it, and she didn't know how angry she would be, and poured bitter water again: "...... I didn't expect that as soon as we Keyin arrived in Beijing, Li Jiang, who cut a thousand knives, made such a fuss, and the Marquis of Dingxing was really right, and his adopted son didn't teach and begged for relatives with his face. ”

Da Jiang kept being relieved.

Cui Keyin sat on the side, unable to speak, so she had to help hand over tea and snacks.

The more Jiang spoke, the more sad he became, and he kept wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

The two sisters were talking lively, and as soon as the newly replaced Xiangfei bamboo curtain rang, a handsome young man with a slender figure like a bamboo broke in, and found that there was someone in the banquet room, and couldn't help but "huh".

The maid who trotted in hurriedly said, "Madam, the third master has arrived." Then he said to the young man: "The third master should go back to the house and change his clothes, Mrs. has a guest here." ”

This young man is Tang Lun. He is the only son of Tang Tianzheng and the third in the clan. The big Jiang family has not moved for seven or eight years, and only after praying to God and worshiping Buddha did he give birth to such a precious son.

The maid was anxious and afraid, and kept whispering to persuade her.

His eyes fell on Cui Keyin, looked and looked, and suddenly stepped forward and said, "In Xia Tanglun, the word Dunwen, I don't know what this sister is called?" ”

Cui Keyin got up and returned the salute and reported her name.

"It turned out to be my cousin." Tang Lun said with a smile: "I have long heard my cousin Ziyou say that the cousin of the Cui family is all good at qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I am fortunate to meet it today, and I am very happy." Ha ha. ”

His eyes were clear, his smile was bright, and he looked very happy.

The Jiang sisters no longer spoke, and their four eyes stared at him in a daze.

"Mother, aunt," Tang Lun said with a smile, "I want to stay at home for two days......

Da Jiang was startled, and before he finished speaking, he hurriedly said, "No." Your cousin has just arrived in the capital and hasn't been to visit yet, so how can she be detained in our house? ”

Jiang even pulled Cui Keyin behind him, protecting him like an eagle protecting a chicken, and said, "You still have to study, how can you be distracted by other things?" ”

Tang Lun laughed, pointed at Jiang and smiled: "I just want to talk about poetry and painting with my cousin, why is my aunt so nervous?" ”

Jiang Shi categorically disbelieved it, and said: "You are the head of the case, and you are Xie Yuan, and the poems and articles are excellent." Your cousin is a girl, how can she compare with you? Let's go to the study and read. ”

Just drive him away.

The maid who came in was ashamed of herself, and begged in a low voice: "The third master should go and change his clothes and come to see Madame again." ”

Tang Lun ignored the maid and the Jiang family, and asked Cui Keyin: "Cousin, would you like to live in our house?" The lotus flowers in my house are blooming very well, and we can draw lotus pictures. ”

At this time, at the beginning of April, the little lotus showed its sharp corners and painted what lotus flowers.

Da Jiang was so angry that he was looking around for something to beat him: "You bastard, if you mess around like this again, I'll tell your father and ask your father to punish you for kneeling under the sun." ”
