In a blink of an eye, winter goes to spring, and there is a circle of willows planted on the garden lake of Cui's Dongfu, and those long hanging willow branches seem to be crowded with tender green willow leaves overnight.

The warm spring breeze replaced the biting cold wind, and when it blew, it blew green the flowers and trees that had withered and yellowed all over the garden.

These lively spring breezes, the most naughty and playful, puffed up their cheeks, and blew hard the quiet, sparkling lake.

The imperial capital of the Dajing Dynasty, there was only a luscious spring rain last night, and the fine rain silk was as light as spider silk, as thin as the tip of a cow's needle, and as long as the longest embroidery thread.

It was like sifting through a fine sieve, flying densely to the earth, shrouding the entire capital in a white rain and mist.

Because her family and her grandfather's family were very unfortunate and mourned at the same time, Cui Wanqing's first New Year after her rebirth was lifeless, without the joy of red and green, and there was no excitement of laughter and laughter.

There are only endless ashes, desolate whites of the eyes, incense and burning paper, and endless prostrations.

And the Zhou family did not disappoint anyone, the nature of this family is like this, and they have to talk endlessly if they don't take advantage of it, not to mention that the young lady who is still their own family suddenly died of illness?

With this reason, can the Zhou family still let go of the opportunity to send it to their eyes? As the Cui family expected, they came to Cui's house to make a big fuss.

Dozens of people tossed in front of the mourning hall of Second Mrs. Cui, crying about Zhou's death, and wanted to pounce on them, pushing the sons of the Cui family who were guarding the spirit.

Among them, especially Zhou's mother's howl, she worked hardest, it was simply tears, and she was sad and heartbroken.

"I don't know if you can cry as hard as you can when your own biological father and mother die?" Cui Wanqing looked at the farce staged in front of her and shook her head helplessly.

Fortunately, the Cui family is not afraid of anything now, that is, the Zhou family is coming to make trouble, Master Cui, and the second master Cui brothers soon appeared in the mourning hall.

When the mother and daughter of the Zhou family entered Master Cui's outer study, they really held their heads high, full of ambition, and had a posture of victory.

But I didn't expect that the conversation time between the two sides, from front to back, was only a quarter of an hour, which was really short enough

The people waiting outside the house listened to the old man in the house and said, "Send off guests." ”

Just as she was about to open the curtain, she saw Mrs. Bian helping Mrs. Zhou out of the house with a pale face, and the mother and daughter looked very flustered.

Just when the two of them were about to cross the threshold of the study, they didn't know if they were careless, or their hearts were too confused, Mrs. Zhou didn't cross over, and they stumbled so much, so they dragged Mrs. Bian with their hands, and the two of them rolled at the door of the study

This matter, I'm afraid it can be regarded as the best joke in the entire 100 issues, and the people of Cui's Mansion use it to pass time.

Cuijia East Mansion, Songcui Temple, East Chamber.

Cui Wanqing looked at the raindrops on the eaves through the light pink cloud silk drawer through the window edges, and secretly recalled the past boringly.

Even in her heart, she also thinks that the fall of Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Bian is the most exciting scene staged in the Cui Family's West Mansion in the past three months.

Sometimes thinking about it, she can't help but feel very sad, in the name, Zhou is still her stepmother, and she still has to be a filial daughter respectfully, mourn for the enemy, and bow to the incense.

is obviously full of unhappiness, but for the sake of the rules, she has to do it correctly, Cui Wanqing is really bored and bored in her heart.

However, these things, compared with the scene of going to the Ming'an Hou Mansion to offer incense, Cui Wanqing felt that she was quite bearable in her own home.

went to the Ming'an Hou Mansion, the deceased was his cousin's cousin's mother, the brother and sister were really sad, plus the Xiang family has always been a very good person, many people are sincerely mourning for the master, the whole house is filled with gloomy clouds, and the atmosphere is much more depressing than the Cui family.

Xiang and Zhou were close friends in private before their deaths, few people know that the two of them are related, these two people have a black heart and a hot hand, and they join forces, how many people have been harmed!

As a result, God also made a little joke with the two of them, the time of death was about the same, and the funeral was also one after the other, and I am afraid that there were not even twelve hours in between!

Cui Wanqing can think of the only benefit of the two mansions holding a funeral at the same time, probably when she goes to the funeral from Cui Mansion to Ming'an Hou's Mansion, she can still wear the plain white linen filial piety clothes on her body without any embroidery.

You don't have to comb your hair, change your jewelry, or change your clothes, it's really a special convenience.

It's just that seeing Cao Tang, whose eyes are red and swollen and crying, and Cao Xiu, who is still holding on to his grief and treating guests in a proper manner, Cui Wanqing is really a little unable to sit still in the mourning hall.

It's not that she is weak and afraid of anything, but she threw herself into her arms and cried like Cao Tang was about to faint, which was really distressing.

The person who caused my cousin's current situation is not Cui Wanqing herself?

Although she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing this, she wouldn't think that because of this, she would have the idea of letting go of the Zhou family and the Xiang family.

But alas, but this kind of entanglement and the uncomfortable taste of depression are really uncomfortable, such as what does the word sit on pins and needles mean, Cui Wan has really experienced it.

Fortunately, Cui Wanqing's own family also died, so in the first three days of Xiang's death, he came to the last incense and worshipped, even if it passed, and he did not follow the rules and came over every day.

In the next three months, Cui Wanqing burned two copies of the seventh phase, because the Xiang family was one day later than the Zhou family, she was tossed in the Cui family's West Mansion for a day the day before, and rushed to the Ming'an Hou Mansion the next day.

Once you do the same thing, you have to do it twice, Cui Wanqing really wanted to ask the sky speechlessly in her heart

Even during the Chinese New Year, the Cui Mansion and the Ming'an Hou Mansion also rushed over in such a mess.

Thinking that after burning for a hundred days in another seven days and going to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to do a dojo for the deceased, his life would be able to return to normal, this feeling of hope was ahead, which finally made Cui Wanqing look a little dazed, and he could be regarded as having a little focus.

"Miss Jiu, this window is better open, you better sit on the couch, let the maid close the window, it's only early spring, it's still raining outside, don't catch a cold carefully." Yulan said as she personally helped Cui Wanqing to get up.

Brother Li, who was standing next to the bookcase, had already had a look, walked to the front of the bookcase, stretched out his hand and closed the window lightly, quietly, without making any noise.

I heard Yulan whisper, "Look at your hands, people say that you are sleepy and lacking, the maid didn't care about it in the past, but now look at your lazy appearance, that's all believed, fortunately, in a few days, you can go back to the academy to go to school, otherwise, the maid is really worried about you, and she can't even bother to move." ”

Cui Wanqing listened to Yulan's muttering of concern, smiled, and was about to speak, when she saw that Fang Rong had already put a small bowl of jade inlaid with silver silk flowers, and gave it to Cui Wanqing with both hands with a smile, "Miss Jiu, you drink red dates and longan tea to warm up first, here the maid has added some brown sugar and milk, can you taste it?" ”

Cui Wanqing took it casually, first carefully looked at the appearance, and then turned his face and asked Brother Li with a smile, "You little gluttonous cat has already tasted it first?" Tell me, what does it taste like? ”

Brother Li replied with a smile: "The maid feels that the sweetness is moderate, but the milk flavor is a little heavier, but the one you use is after the change, the milk flavor will not be very strong, it should be more delicious, and the cooking skills of Fang Rong are getting better and better, so you can use it with confidence." ”

Fangrong, this girl, in the four Fangli, is the one with the least words, and her personality is also the most down-to-earth, she likes to drill into the small kitchen, holding the recipe written by Cui Wanqing, and doing it is half an afternoon, which is really a bit tireless.

At the beginning, the dim sum and soup were not delicious at all, that is, they could barely be eaten, but after a few months of exercise, the materials were not wasted, and the food made was finally a small success.

After drinking the hot red date longan tea in her hand, Cui Wanqing's whole body felt hot, because of this bowl of sweet tea, she remembered that because of Zhou's mourning period, Cui Changjian's teahouse was also shelved indefinitely.

Now the shops on South Street still sell the four treasures of the study, as well as classical books and the like, but with the help of Cui Changjian, he has changed to a trustworthy shopkeeper, and the business is booming day by day.

After such a delay, two drags on, I don't know if the only teahouse in the capital in my third brother's mind can still be opened?

Cui Wanqing handed the jade bowl in her hand to Brother Li, and asked softly, "Grandmother, is there still no one there?" ”

Yulan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said worriedly: "Yes, it's been almost a month, and even the maid went over in person, and I couldn't ask for any news, whether the old lady's body is good or bad, we really don't know at all." ”

"Seeing her old man's birthday, it is not far away, although this year because of the second lady's mourning, it can't be done, but the old lady of our family has to show her face, let the sons and ladies kowtow, give birthday gifts, and show filial piety, isn't it?"

"Alas, it's really wronged" As soon as Cui Wanqing heard Yulan's words, she couldn't help but lower her head again, silently looking at the carvings on the mahogany pedals, and became distracted. R1152
