Yulan and Yingqiao waited for Cui Wanqing and changed into a set of clothes to go out.

Outside the middle coat of jade embroidered pink lotus, he wore a soft yellow silk jacket, and tied a moon white cotton silk phoenix tail skirt underneath.

This body is light and elegant, and it is inevitable that the matching plain silver inlaid treasure head will be replaced, and the red gold shrimp beard bracelet on the wrist will also be replaced with white jade.

Cui Wanqing was tidying up her makeup in the mirror, and then she opened her mouth and instructed: "Ah Tao went to invite Huang's mother, and said that I was going to Xu's house and asked her to take a look together." ”

Mother Fang handed the freshly picked amethyst grape beads to Yingqiao's hand, and said with a smile: "This Mother Huang is an old and spicy one, and one sentence that day broke the true meaning, let's go to Xu's house today, and there may be something wrong with the moth, we have to bring her, what's the matter, it's your help, isn't it?" ”

Cui Wanqing smiled, turned her face and beckoned to Jin Ling who was standing on the side, whispered a few words in her ear, and saw Jin Ling nodding again and again, and went downstairs quickly.

Cui Wanqing was unusually today, and she didn't bring many people, only Aunt Huang, Mother Fang, Yulan, Yingqiao, and the Jinling sisters.

Among them, Huang's mother is very experienced, and the other three are all insiders, and they also have a lot of feelings with Brother Li, and they are Cui Wanqing's confidants.

As for the Jinling sisters, these two sisters are Cui Wanqing's biggest support, with them by their side, no matter what the Xu Mansion talks about, no matter how much trouble it is, at least Cui Wanqing can't suffer a big loss first.

As long as she is in a safe environment, she is confident that she can handle the situation. Control is within control.

Jiangyuan County is only one of the sixteen counties in the south of the Yangtze River and one of many small counties, but the county has a long history, hundreds of years of recuperation, and the population is now thousands.

The county seat has expanded again and again, and the Daijia Garden, where Cui Wanqing now lives, belongs to the new county town after the third expansion, and the Xu Mansion is located in Minghan Village, outside the old county.

The distance between the two places is equivalent to crossing the entire Jiangyuan County, and Rao is that they did not delay time all the way. It was two quarters of an hour later when I arrived at Xu's house.

The carriage was originally scheduled to stop at the hanging flower gate of the Xu Mansion. Dai San's grandmother, who was dressed in a white dress and had a silver hairpin and beaded hairpin, had red and swollen eyes, and was supported by the maid with an anxious expression. Standing on the porch of the Hanging Flower Gate. Waiting for Cui Wanqing's arrival.

I saw that Cui Wanqing's usual carriage had arrived. hurriedly greeted him, personally helped Cui Wanqing get out of the carriage, and saw the queen in the two compartments. She stepped forward and grabbed Cui Wanqing's arm.

He reminded in a very low voice: "Miss Nine, the one who went to my family's garden just now to invite you over was not a servant of our family, but a person sent by the patriarch, and when we know that it is too late, I have to wait for you here." ”

"Here's the thing, the old housekeeper of our family has long been sent by my father to care for the elderly, who knew that he suddenly came back from the countryside early this morning."

"Through my sister-in-law's matter, she actually cried and made a fuss in the mourning hall, not counting, and said a lot of unpleasant things, which made my father and mother very unable to get off the stage."

"But just when the old housekeeper was making a fuss, the patriarch actually came, and he actually agreed with the old housekeeper's nonsense, saying that he can't let Fang Yatou die in vain, and he must find your family to make it clear."

"How could father and mother agree? After a stalemate for a long time, the people below suddenly quietly came back and forth to me, saying that when they were at the entrance of the village, they saw the patriarch's mother Zhang, taking the carriage of the patriarch's wife, to the county seat. ”

"This matter is not our family's original intention, but when it comes to this part, it makes you suffer a lot of grievances with our family, and I feel shameless."

When Grandma Dai San said these words, she was embarrassed to look directly at Cui Wanqing's face, and her face was as red as the sunset on the horizon.

To put it bluntly, Dai San's grandmother knows very well that her hard-working little sister was abducted and trafficked from Jiangnan to the capital thousands of miles away.

Later, the education he received was probably all the rules and dogmas of being a slave and a maid, and the poor child, I am afraid that he does not remember his true identity at all, and thinks that he is a poor girl with all his heart.

As a result, the ancestors of the Xu family had a spirit in the sky, blessed their sister-in-law, and did not fall into a more unbearable situation, but was bought by the Cui family to be a maid.

Later, she went to serve by Miss Cui's side, and was favored by her master, if there was no emergency, Fang Yatou would definitely be doing well.

Cui Wanqing's side has seen several maids, Dai San's grandmother has seen them all, those little maids are all wearing gold and silver, and the close-fitting big maids are not inferior to ordinary young ladies even if they are not lost.

To tell the truth, Yulan and Yingqiao's food and clothing are much stronger than those of the two sisters when they were young, and Brother Li is almost the same as the two of them, and they live a very nourishing life.

Thinking about it, with Cui Wanqing's kind temperament, when Fang Yatou is old, she will definitely find a good family affair for her, and give her a rich dowry, so that she can live her life peacefully and happily.

It's a pity that her sister-in-law still has the blood of the Xu family on her body, and at a critical time, her kind nature prompted her to sacrifice her precious life in order to protect her.

This is indeed a tragic event, but it is also a fact that fully proves the nobility of human nature of his sister.

It is precisely because they understand this truth that Xu Mao and his wife, as well as Dai San's grandmother's brothers, are more grateful than resentful to Cui Wanqing.

Unexpectedly, the funeral of Fang Yatou was blocked, which was annoying enough, but today there was such a heart-wrenching thing.

Seeing that not only is his own family going to be chaotic, but also the gentle and kind Miss Cui family is tired, how can I bear it?

Grandma Dai San was struggling to say apologetic words, and suddenly felt warm holding Cui Wanqing's hand, and when she raised her eyes, it was Cui Wanqing's white jade-like hand, gently covering her hand.

Grandma Dai instinctively looked at the owner of the hand, and saw Cui Wanqing's big bright eyes shining. He smiled at her very gently.

Seeing her gaze over, she gently patted Dai San's grandmother's hand and said comfortingly: "It's okay, our hearts are bright, and there are no dirty things that we can't see, so we are not afraid of these ghosts, and deliberately toss some moths out to disgust people." ”

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Grandma Dai San looked at Cui Wanqing's indifferent smile and listened to her calm words, and her heart was settled.

The panic was replaced by a stream of heat. I can't help but moisten my eyes. She hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and nodded gently.

said secretly in his heart, "It's really strange, it's obviously a little girl of twelve or thirteen." Partiality gives people a sense of reliability and stability. ”

"Could it be that the young ladies in the capital are all precocious?"

"Not really. I look at that Miss Cao. It's very lively and cute."

In the confusion of Grandma Dai's third grandmother, the two first went to Brother Li's mourning hall to offer incense, and then came to the Boyuan Courtyard in the living room of the Xu Mansion.

But I saw that the maid outside the living room was standing with her head down. There were many unfamiliar faces in the courtyard, many of them sturdy men.

Seeing the female guests coming, some of them covered their faces with their sleeves and hurriedly turned around to avoid them, and some of them looked straight and stood still in place, and the originally calm situation became a mess in an instant.

Aunt Huang was very unhappy in her heart, and even said loudly: "Hey, today, in this small Jiangyuan County, the old slave can be regarded as an eye-opener. ”

"Obviously, I sent someone to invite the ladies of distinguished guests to visit, but there are still young men stranded outside the hall, which is really unruly."

"I don't know what is written in the family rules of your Xu family?"

"It's really rude to be able to do such a perverse thing!"

She turned to Cui Wanqing, who was covered with Yulan and Yingqiao's face with her sleeves, and said, "Miss, let's go home first, and come here at the invitation, but it is really bad luck to meet such a group of rude people." “

"This matter can't be left like this, when our master and uncle come back, they must ask the patriarch of the Xu family for an explanation."

Fang's mother also took the opportunity to add some oil, "Isn't this the reason?" If this thing is spread to the capital and people know that we have such a thing in this wild place, then we will be laughed at and killed! ”

"Miss, please turn around quickly."

Cui Wanqing hummed lightly, and was about to turn back, but at this moment, she heard a slightly embarrassed voice in the room, "Miss Cui Jiu, please stay, don't blame the rudeness, it was really the sudden incident just now, everyone was stunned by the fight, so they ignored it." ”

After that, he scolded loudly: "Why don't you retreat quickly?" If you disturb the distinguished guests, see if the old man can spare you?! ”

The curtain of the living room was lifted from the inside, and Mrs. Xu was helped out by the maid with a pale face, and said apologetically: "Miss Jiu, you have been wronged, it is really a big deal, please come in first to speak." ”

Seeing that those young men withdrew, and Mrs. Xu was also sent out to welcome the guests, Huang's mother gently bowed her head towards Yulan, and Yulan and Yingqiao separated from each other, allowing Grandma Dai San to step into the hospital with Cui Wanqing.

When I entered the hall door, there were a lot of people, in addition to Xu Mao and his wife, and the two sons of the Xu family, on the Taishi chair next to Xu Mao, there was also a hazy old man with white hair.

On the official hat chair on the left-hand side, there are two middle-aged couples in fancy clothes, and a young son, who look quite similar, should be a family.

Xu Mao got up to greet him, looked at Cui Wanqing's eyes, with deep helplessness, he raised his hand and introduced: "Miss Jiu, this is Xu Ze, the patriarch of the family, cousin Xu Shu, cousin-in-law Ma, and cousin Xu Tuo. ”

Cui Wanqing is the daughter of the dignified household Shangshu, seeing this, she just bowed slightly to Xu Ze and the others, so she turned around and sat next to Mrs. Xu.

Xu Shu's family is the son and son of the patriarch of the Xu family, and on weekdays in Minghan Village, he is also the master who walks with his head up.

It's just a little girl in front of her, how dare she be so rude?!

Ma couldn't help but grit his teeth and whispered: "Such a rude person, where is he worthy of my Tuo'er?" ”

"If you really marry such an arrogant and extravagant person into the door, how can you and I live?"

Xu Shu couldn't help but feel the same way, and couldn't help but glance at his father, but saw Xu Ze sitting steadily, as if nothing had happened.

couldn't help but be discouraged, and whispered to his wife, "Who called your husband inferior to others?" ”

Ma's face changed when he heard this, and he glanced at his husband with awe, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Cui Wanqing knew that the family on the other side was playing a crooked idea?

He said with concern, and asked Mrs. Xu softly, "Madame, do you feel better today?" Why didn't you recuperate in the house, but ran out? ”

"What did you do when you just came to the door to greet me? I don't want to think about such a hot weather, if I get sunstroke, how good would it be? ”

Mrs. Xu's family has been overwhelmed for more than an hour, and they are simply physically and mentally exhausted, but it is a pity that Xu Ze is the patriarch of the Xu family, where does the Xu family dare to offend?

Even if you are not feeling well, you have to continue to hold on.

Thinking about the fact that Ma deliberately forced her to go out and invite guests to enter the door just now, and then listened to Cui Wanqing's warm words of concern, her mood instantly became excited.

She held Cui Wanqing's hand tightly, choked up and couldn't speak, just watched Cui Wanqing cry apologetically.

For this poor mother, Cui Wanqing is the closest person to her long-lost and hard-working little daughter.

Looking at Cui Wanqing, Mrs. Xu had a strange sense of identity, anyway, she felt inexplicably close to this high-ranking official lady, and it was difficult to even have a little hatred.

Cui Wanqing saw that Mrs. Xu, who was sick and weak, was forced to be like this by Xu Ze, it was simply a posture of deliberately wanting human life!

I felt more and more annoyed in my heart, and turned my face to look at Xu Maoyan and said: "Master Xu, your family has a business, it stands to reason that the little woman should not talk too much, but Brother Li is already a sister to me, and he died generously for the little woman." ”

"Therefore, the little woman is really unbearable, watching Mrs. Xu suffer with her own eyes, please raise your noble hand and let Mrs. Xu into the house to recuperate."

"Her body is already very weak, if her condition worsens, what face will I have to explain to Brother Li's spirit in the sky?"

Xu Mao's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't look at Xu Ze's face, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The old man is ashamed, what Miss Nine said is very true. ”

After that, he instructed the maid beside Mrs. Xu, "Why don't you quickly help Mrs. Xu go back to rest?" ”

Cui Wanqing nodded and thanked Xu Mao, and said to Mrs. Xu with a smile: "Don't worry, there are solutions to big things, you are a patient, just go back and rest first, as long as your body is healthy, we can rest assured that we can do other things." ”

"When it's over here, it's not too late, I'll go in and talk to you."

Mrs. Xu whispered when the two approached, "Be careful." (To be continued......)
