Chapter 70: Chrysanthemum appreciation

By the time the impeachment incident subsided, it was already September, the weather was cold, the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and the provinces were vying to hold chrysanthemum fairs.

Yao Huidong posted twice in a row, inviting Cui Keyin to come over to participate in the chrysanthemum appreciation party, but Cui Keyin made excuses to push it.

She had no choice, so she personally invited her, half disgusted, half teasing: "Could it be that she was busy preparing for the dowry and was too busy to go out?" You don't have to worry, I'll delay you for a day, and after enjoying the chrysanthemum, I'll let you back as soon as I have lunch. ”

Cui Keyin smiled: "Not really. I've never had a needle, but now I'm going to embroider a wedding dress, and I'm so embarrassed that I don't know what to do. I want the embroidery lady in the house to do it, and the eldest aunt said that the close-fitting clothes and the shoes given to the in-laws and grandparents have to be made by themselves, so as to appear sincere. I have to learn this by embroidering a handkerchief. ”

The wedding date in September next year is very timely. A prestigious family like Cui's family, where would a girl make a wedding dress by herself? After Mrs. Zhang agreed to the marriage, she transferred four embroiderers with the best embroidery from Taiping Lane to Xinglin Hutong to embroider wedding dresses, red pillow scarves, mandarin duck brocade quilts and other things for Cui Keyin.

As for the dowry, in addition to the dowry left by her mother Su, Mrs. Zhang has been in charge of Cui Keyin all these years, and rare things are stored separately in a warehouse, leaving Cui Keyin as a dowry, and will be transported to Beijing next year.

Yao Huidong said in surprise: "No wonder everyone says that the Cui family is a famous family, it is really different, if it was someone else's family, it would have been done by the embroidery girl a long time ago." ”

Cui Keyin sighed: "Fame is tired." ”

"Can't you really take a day off?" Yao Huidong asked unrelentingly.

Cui Keyin shook her head gloomily.

I used to think she was a little vain, and she liked to gossip. It's nothing either. But since I heard that Yao Jiatuo Wang Zhe made a statement to Emperor Zhi'an and the Queen Mother, and accepted Yao Huidong as the concubine of King Jin, and after failing to do so, he asked Miao Jiacheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, to make a statement to Emperor Zhi'an again, and there was a posture of not giving up until the goal was reached, Cui Keyin didn't want to deal with her anymore.

Her father and Cui Zhenyi are both squires, and the two are of equal status, if she is allowed to enter the door and have a side concubine of equal status, how much effort does Cui Keyin have to spend to keep the position of the princess of King Jin? So as not to be ridiculed by people pointing at the backbone? Take 10,000 steps back. She worked so hard. Do you really just want to give people a concubine? Can a little side concubine satisfy her?

Yao Huidong persuaded and persuaded again, but Cui Keyin insisted that he had no time and couldn't go. In the end, Yao Huidong had no choice but to say that she would ask her mother to help Cui Keyin intercede with Mrs. Jiang. Let her out for a day.

She had just stepped out of the door with her front feet. Lu Ying spat silently at her back. whispered: "It's so thick-skinned." ”

is still pretending that nothing has happened in front of his own young lady, and his face is really thicker than the city wall.

Cui Keyin said lightly: "She's not too young, and she hasn't said anything about her in-laws." I guess I'm in a hurry. ”

Lu Ying spat again in the direction of Yao Huidong's departure, "Phew!" I think it's because men want to go crazy. ”

Who said that a man who can rob his girlfriend without his in-laws? This kind of woman deserves to be immersed in the pig cage.

Yao Huidong thought that he had done things secretly, but Cui Keyin didn't know about it. She had already told a group of handkerchiefs that the future princess of Jin would come to participate in the chrysanthemum appreciation this time, and she also used Cui Keyin to raise her own value in a timely manner, saying that she had grown up with Cui Keyin since she was a child, and the friendship was called a good one, and her chest was patted "popping", saying that as long as she opened her mouth, Cui Keyin would definitely arrive.

The identity of Princess Jin is extremely noble. What's more, most of the people attending the meeting are fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, and it is the season to say kiss, and I also want to get to know Princess Jin, so that I can add chips when I say kiss.

Mrs. Yao soon posted that she was going to visit Jiang's. Jiang simply made an excuse and pushed it.

Yao Huidong came two more times, but he still couldn't invite Cui Keyin. On the day of the chrysanthemum viewing party, I couldn't help but complain about the handkerchiefs.

Gu Ming's wife Li also posted a message to Cui Keyin, and Cui Keyin went.

During the chrysanthemum appreciation, Li pulled Cui Keyin to no one's place and whispered, "Have you heard of Zhou Zhizhi?" ”

Cui Keyin said: "Sister-in-law asked what this person was doing? ”

When Li heard this, he had a little understanding, looked left and right, confirmed that there was no one nearby, and whispered: "Zhou Quan sent a letter, saying that it was all up to this Zhou Gongzi to survive." Let the immortal help inquire, and it will be good to repay it in the future. ”

Before Zhou Quan left the city, Zhou Heng sent two people to escort him on the road, and met bandits in Tongzhou. After arriving at a safe place, he immediately wrote to Gu Ming to tell him about it, as if he was explaining the future, telling Gu Ming to help him find this Zhou Gongzi, if he can return to Beijing alive, he must repay Zhou Gongzi's great kindness, and if he can't return to Beijing alive, let Gu Ming help him repay his kindness.

Gu Ming has not been able to find out who Zhou Zhizhi is, and later vaguely heard that this person had been in contact with Cui Muhua, and asked Cui Muhua, Cui Muhua naturally refused to say that it was his prince's sister-in-law, so he had to let the Li family pretend to be in the name of the chrysanthemum appreciation, invite Cui Keyin to come over the house, and quietly listen.

Cui Keyin thought for a while and said, "I know who he is, but I have to ask him himself before I can tell you." ”

Li is also a transparent person, and said happily when he heard this: "As long as you find someone, it's fine." If he is willing to show up, you must tell us; If he refuses to show up, you must also bring the affection of Lord Zhou. ”

Zhou Quan is a true gentleman who will repay his kindness, and after receiving such a great kindness from others, he doesn't even know who the people are, and he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep at night.

Cui Keyin agreed.

"You say I know what he wants." Zhou Heng listened to Cui Keyin's words and said lightly: "As for who I am, there is no need to tell him. ”

King Fan can't make friends with courtiers, if people know that it was he who came to the rescue, don't say that the imperial history will impeach him for his huge intentions, but I'm afraid that even Emperor An will doubt his intentions, even if he doesn't question him face-to-face, his heart will be like a thorn.

Gu Ming got the news and asked Cui Muhua to thank Cui Keyin: "I'm bumping around like a headless fly, so my sister knows this person." In the future, there will be no trouble for my sister.,Please don't blame your sister.。 ”

Cui Muhua rolled his eyes, his brother-in-law was still as funny as ever.

Cui Keyin returned the salute and said, "It's okay, cousin doesn't have to be polite." Zhou Gongzi said that Zhou Da's popularity is admirable, and he just wants to leave a loyal minister for the Dajia Dynasty. Please don't take it personally. ”

Gu Ming had to praise Zhou Zhizhi solidly.

Sending Gu Ming away, someone from the palace came, Li Xiuxiu was allowed to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation party, and Xuan Cui Keyin entered the palace to participate.

Jiang said: "Isn't this 'unspeakably expensive' Kang Concubine pregnant yet?" How can you toss so much? ”

Cui Keyin smiled and told the Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing party, Li Xiuxiu and Shen Mingzhu fighting.

Mama Geng, who came to ask for instructions, heard the laughter in the banquet room from a long distance, and hurriedly asked the little maid waiting under the porch: "Who is inside?" (To be continued......)
