Chapter 51: Promises
In the next few days, Cui Zhenduan took the younger generation of the Cui family to accompany Zhou Heng to visit the Wuzhi Temple and the Blessing Palace, make friends, and introduce Zhou Heng to the younger generation of the family in Qinghe.
Everyone has heard about the emperor's marriage, and they can't help but congratulate the Cui family. But no one expected that this kind and elegant Zhou Zhizhi was the protagonist of marriage, King Jin.
The Cui family has won the honor of marrying the royal family, and it is a step forward, although everyone does not understand Zhou Zhizhi's family background, but no one dares to underestimate it. Many people also inquired about Zhou Zhizhi's life experience openly and secretly, but the Cui family's mouths were very tight.
Mrs. Duanda took the time to go back to her parents' house, and the king of Lin'an County also returned to her parents' house on the same day, and the sisters of the two clans talked in the room for a long time.
When she left, the look on Mrs. Duanda's face was very strange.
When Cui Zhenduan came back in the evening, Mrs. Duan sent the maids out and told Cui Zhenduan the gossip she heard from the princess of Lin'an County: "...... I said how could a good thing fall on the Cui family, it turned out that the Queen Mother took the opportunity to rectify the King of Jin to rectify the Cui family. The third aunt has always wanted to raise Keyin's worth, and the nephews in my mother's family still don't look down on it. ”
Speaking of later, you can't hide the full schadenfreude, so that you dislike our maiden nephew for not having a reputation, now it's okay, your life is almost gone.
Cui Zhenduan said unhappily: "What are you talking about!" The fate of Keyin is already closely related to us. She can't get better, can we be okay? Do you think that King Jin is the same as the King of Lin'an, a declining prince? ”
Seeing that her husband was unhappy, Mrs. Duanda didn't dare to say any more, but muttered in a low voice: "She is a married woman, how can she endanger us?" ”
The law of this dynasty stipulates that if the mother's family is guilty, the crime is not as good as the marriage of the daughter; In the same way, if the husband's family is convicted, the mother's family will not be affected. Unless there is rebellion.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Duanda's heart tightened, and she said, "Is it ......?"
"What's going on with your thoughts?" Cui Zhenduan reprimanded: "Our family doesn't need to borrow Keyin's marriage to cling to anyone, but we all hope that she will marry well." Don't get involved with your clan sister in the future, and don't mention the past. ”
After Cui Zhenduan finished speaking, the maid waited for him to change his clothes, came to Wutong Courtyard, saw Mrs. Zhang, and said: "My nephew has carefully observed these days, and the King of Jin treats people and is not arrogant and arrogant. ”
Every day when they return home, no matter how late it is, Cui Zhenjun and Cui Mudong will report everything that happened that day, and Mrs. Zhang will judge Zhou Heng's personality.
"Let him come over tomorrow hour." Mrs. Zhang twisted the Buddha beads in her hand and said lightly.
The next day, Zhou Heng asked to see him, and the reply he got was that the old lady was reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and then Baozhu led him over.
It's such a large Buddhist hall, and people who don't know think that they have walked into the temple's Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Zhou Heng looked at his nose and his nose and heart, followed the jewel to the incense table for Guanyin Bodhisattva, and saluted Mrs. Zhang, who was supported by Bizhu from the futon.
Mrs. Zhang accepted his salute and said, "You are a prince, but you don't have a trace of arrogance, but you can entrust it to you, and the old body is very relieved." ”
Zhou Heng's identity is there, no matter how easy-going he is, the Cui family will only think that he is approachable. What's more, the holy decree has been issued, and it is absolutely impossible to change it, so he didn't have to go to Qinghe in person to ask Mrs. Zhang to allow marriage. Everything he did, in the eyes of Mrs. Zhang, there was only one possibility, that is, he was really attracted to Cui Keyin.
Mrs. Zhang lost her husband in her youth and her son in middle age, what has she not experienced? Although she is a woman, her eyes are far away, Cui Zhenyi's worries are not unreasonable, but things are man-made, who can be sure that King Jin will live soon? Besides, he didn't die young.
Zhou Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, changed his name to "grandmother", and said: "Thank you grandmother for making it perfect." ”
"Sit down." Old Madam Zhang walked to the side of the official hat chair and sat down, and said, "Ke Yin's parents died early when she was a child, and I can't help but spoil her a little. She's not very good-natured. ”
Zhou Heng smiled and said, "I'll let her have some." ”
The wrinkles at the corners of Mrs. Zhang's eyes bloomed like chrysanthemums, and she said, "How dare you." ”
"It's okay." Zhou Heng's smile was like the scorching sunshine outside.

Cui Keyin returned to Huayue Xuan from Chunshan Residence, and Mingyue, the little girl sent by Zhou Heng, was already waiting there, and when she saw Cui Keyin, she presented the letter.
There were only two sentences in the letter, saying that he went to Qinghe to let her relax.
Cui Keyin hurriedly wrote a letter to Amber, a second-class maid who stayed in Qinghe, and sent it through the post station with Cui Zhenyi's name sticker.
At the same time that Zhou Heng left to return to the capital, Amber's reply also arrived.
Cui Keyin finished reading it with a smile on her lips, put the letter into the box, and Mo Yu, who came with tea, hurriedly said, "I don't know if the old lady has embarrassed the prince?" ”
A few of them are worried that Old Madam Zhang will drive Zhou Heng out in anger, he has a noble status, if he is humiliated like this, this family business has to be abandoned. Even if the holy decree has been issued, the two families have no choice but to get married, Cui Keyin has passed the door, and life is sad.
Cui Keyin smiled: "Grandmother has always loved me, how can I embarrass him?" ”
Mo Yu was puzzled and said, "But the young lady didn't write to tell the old lady." ”
If you don't say it, how does Mrs. Zhang know that you like someone?
Cui Keyin smiled but did not answer.
Mo Yu retreated in confusion.
Jiang's recuperation for a few days, it was fine, and seeing that the Zhongyuan Festival was approaching, he called Cui Keyin over and said, "You follow me to learn to host the feed." ”
No matter who she marries into, she can only be a wife as Cui Keyin, and sooner or later she will have to be a housekeeper.
Cui Keyin responded, and since then, she has followed Jiang's side every morning, listening to the housekeeper's mother's report, how much does it cost to buy fish today, how much does it cost to buy meat, or where the dishes are fresher, more than a penny a catty, and so on.
The housekeepers and grandmothers dispersed, and Jiang said: "Don't underestimate this penny or two pennies, the house has a large population, and it is used for food, clothing and chewing, where is there no need for money?" You can save a lot of money. ”
Outsiders only say that the Cui family entered the imperial examination, but they don't know that the Cui family is the richest man in Qinghe, not to mention that the garden of the house is beautiful, that is, the furnishings and utensils in the house, which are also different in the four seasons, when will they go to great lengths to save a penny? Cui Keyin understood what the Jiang family said, but she was worried that after she got married, her husband's family would not be as generous as the Cui family, and if she could work hard at that time, she would be a loser.
On the other hand, it can also be seen that Cui Zhenyi's determination to oppose this family business.
"Yes." Cui Keyin complied.
Jiang sighed and said, "Don't blame your eldest uncle, he is also for your good." ”
"I understand. When my eldest brother and I first met King Jin, he pretended to be a gentleman. Cui Keyin said frankly: "He is in a difficult situation, and it is not easy for his every move to be noticed." ”
Jiang Shi was very comforted: "It's good that you understand." ”
On the way back to Huayuexuan, Cui Keyin tacitly calculated Zhou Heng's return date in her heart, and she didn't know if he would gallop and run to the capital in one go?
