Chapter 34: Birthday Gifts

PS: Recommend a friend's masterpiece "Down with the Goddess" Author: Banzhi Lian. What about the game Xiaobai, bump into a great god as a master, take revenge on the beautiful man in the game, and watch us shoot a self-righteous pseudo-goddess, and stand side by side with the real god at the top.

"Joyful Door" Author: Jun Xiang Yezi. Reliving her life, she vowed to protect her small family with her weak shoulders, full of joy, and live a happy life.

And this second sister Cui Wanshu, who stayed in her mother's house for a year longer than in her previous life, Cui Wanqing really knows very little, except for knowing the baby kiss she ordered, she doesn't even know which family the second sister's in-laws are.

But now that the second sister can't get married for a while, and she won't embroider the dowry in the room, then her sisters have to get along with each other, and it seems that they have to do some homework in private.

Cui Wanqing is now inquiring about these news, firstly, to let Brother Li and the others inquire in private, and secondly, to find a way from Cui Changjian, but fortunately, Brother Li is an elf, but in a day or two, he also heard some gossip.

And his third brother is even more long-sleeved and good at dancing, and he accepted Cui Wanqing's kind words and persuasion, which is not a year old, and he is in a good position with the brothers and sisters in Cui's family's room.

Cui Wanqing fused the two of them into each other, and then she learned that Cui Wanshu's fiancé was Cui Changjian's very good friend, but Wu Shenqin, the second son of Wu Qingyi, Taichang Temple.

Seventeen years old this year, he is already in the middle of the move, with his own ability, he has done a seven-grade editor in the Hanlin Academy, which can be regarded as a small success, and he wants to have Cui Yongxin and Wu Qingyi's connections to escort him, and the career of the second son of the Wu family will inevitably be smooth sailing.

Cui Wanqing learned about her second sister's father-in-law. It was actually Wu Qingyi's time. I shuddered in my heart. This is a well-known conservative person, who is not inconspicuous on weekdays, let alone pursues the prince.

But when the prince was in trouble, he stood up with a clear banner, and he was fearless and fearless to protect the prince, saying that His Royal Highness the prince was the orthodoxy of the country, and the prince of Jin had ill intentions. framing his own brother is not worthy of sitting on that supreme throne.

You must know that at that time, the saint had already returned to heaven with a dragon, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also claustrophobic in Jingquan Palace, and it was difficult to see the light of day.

All the officials present were gloating, expecting the prince of Jin to cut off Wu Qingyi's head. In order to police everyone, there are also secretly pinching a handful of cold sweat. For Wu Qingyi, there are even fewer one or two who gritted their teeth and came out to help intercede for friendship.

No matter what kind of attitude these people have, they already feel that Wu Qing must be a dead end, how can anyone who dares to pull the dragon's beard have a good end?

But I never expected that it was such a stubborn person who was not afraid of death, and instead of being suppressed by the Jin prince who was about to become the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, he took it very seriously.

Not only did he talk to Wu Qingyi alone for a long time behind closed doors, but he didn't know what method he used to appease him, and then transferred him to the post of Shuntianfu Yin, and he was slightly promoted by half a level.

From this time on, this courtier's upright and upright mouth, the copper-headed and iron-armed Lord Wu, and the iron-faced and selfless Wu Qingtian in the mouth of the common people, have handled dozens of shocking cases in just five years, and even pulled down the first uncle in the capital.

The courage and courage of this person can be called rare in time, and what he did is really shocking to the government and the opposition, which makes people amazed!

Wu Qingyi came all the way through the thorns, and in the past five years, he was easily promoted two levels in a row, and he was worthy of sitting in the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, and he was really one of the hot figures in the Wenhua Dynasty.

Thinking that the second sister from the family married into such a mother-in-law's family, it must have been a good life, and when the Cui family was in trouble, why the Wu family did not lend a hand, there is an explanation.

At that time, their family was also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect themselves, so how could they have the spare strength to help their in-laws?

"The Wu family is a good friend." With this awareness, Cui Wanqing couldn't help but wonder, why didn't her grandmother invite the Wu family to come when she had a birthday?

Cui Changjian laughed in a sullen voice when she asked, "You, you really don't hear anything outside the window, this Lord Wu's wife died early, and he didn't renew the strings, and the wife of Lord Wu is in confinement, so there is no suitable lady to come to the banquet." ”

"If you only let the young lady of the family come, but it really doesn't look like it, and it just so happens that our family can't do a big deal, so we will support it in advance to prevent their family from suffering from this trouble, but I heard from the eldest brother that the congratulatory gift has been delivered early."

Cui Wanqing nodded lightly, secretly thinking in her heart that she would have to have a good relationship with her second sister while she had worked hard this year, and in her previous life, she made enemies everywhere from herself, and when she finally fell into trouble, she didn't even have anyone to help talk, how could she repeat the mistakes of the past in this life?

Naturally, it is necessary to take every step of the way, and it is necessary to be careful about the way to operate, and the second sister of this mother-in-law's family is such a strong person, and she is even more of a good friend.

In the busy up and down of the Cui family, Mrs. Cui's birthday has finally arrived, and the last time Cui Yongzhong celebrated his birthday, this time Cui Wanqing is ranked according to seniority, and can only entertain guests in the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Cui also gave her a special task, that is, to manage the new flower-like snacks specially made in the small kitchen.

Cui Wanqing, who is on an errand, can only run on both sides of the small kitchen of the main house, and it is a little harder than the last time when she only greeted guests at the second door, but fortunately, there are no annoying people around her this time, Cui Wanqing's mood is very good, and she doesn't feel so tired after tossing back and forth.

Mrs. Cao Laohou came very early on the good day of the good sisters, and the birthday gift was also particularly eye-catching, which was a white jade thousand-handed Guanyin statue more than a foot high, and there was also an agarwood nanmu shrine carved with five hundred Arhats outside.

This is definitely a rare treasure in Mrs. Cao's private room, not to mention giving it to Mrs. Cui as a birthday gift, even if it is a birthday gift for the Queen Mother and her old man, it is only enough.

As for why she is so generous? There are only a few people who know, anyway, the old sisters took advantage of the fact that the hour was still early and the guests had not yet arrived, so they simply closed the door and whispered for a while, waiting until the door of Mrs. Cui's bedroom opened again.

Everyone was suddenly surprised to find that Mrs. Cui had changed out of the ochre-colored embroidered chiba chrysanthemum gown she was wearing, and replaced it with a snow-gold brocade wide crescent side gown, and the set of plain silver inlaid beads on her head had also been replaced with a set of two-color jade inlaid cat's eye begonia pattern head.

As the saying goes, the Buddha wants gold, people want clothes, this old lady Cui changed a set of bright clothes, and the whole person immediately looked a lot more energetic, because of the foil of this set of clothes, people also looked a few years younger, of course, we must ignore the red eyes of the two old ladies first.

As soon as Cui Wanqing saw the old sisters, she walked into the main hall hand in hand, and sat on the Arhat couch on the main seat, with a look on her face that had a sense of relaxation to clear the fog and see the blue sky.

She was also full of emotion in her heart, she knew that her grandmother had such a great influence on her grandmother, so she should have invited her grandmother over early, and the grandmother of the province locked herself up, secretly sad, right?

Cui Wanhua still couldn't come home in the end, but she just asked Lan Ying to come back in person and sent two large boxes of birthday gifts, which made Mrs. Cui look good.

Cui Wanying seemed to be looking forward to what she was looking forward to, looking forward to her eldest sister coming home, but unexpectedly, she was overjoyed, and she couldn't help but feel that her aggrieved eyes were red, and she couldn't help but grab Lan Ying and ask carefully.

"My good young lady, don't be sad, Niangniang also misses your tightness, one night dreaming, are calling your name, but because the princess is suddenly unhappy, Niangniang she has to serve around, so she temporarily sent the maid back."

"The mother knows that you are going to ask, let the maid tell you, and be patient for a while, sooner or later when the sisters will be seen." When Lan Ying said this, a pair of big eyes also reflected water.

Cui Wanying was originally careless, she didn't know why, her head suddenly brightened, she gritted her teeth and whispered: "It must have been deliberate by Princess Jin, she was jealous of her sister's favor in front of the prince, so she deliberately did this, first promised her sister, and allowed her to come back to visit relatives, and then came out like this, so that the originally happy sister fell into the mud at once, she is so poisonous"

"Hey, my little ancestor, why are you so transparent again? Don't dare to say this, you just need to remember that it is not easy for her mother, and you can live peacefully at home, so that she can have no worries, right? Lan Ying's eyes widened in fright, and she covered Cui Wanying's mouth and persuaded a few sincere words with tears.

Cui Wanying's tears fell on Lan Ying's hand, the temperature was so hot, Lan Ying thought in a trance: "It's my master, I always think about this, it turns out that the fourth lady is not only always greedy for cheapness from the master, her heart for the master is still sincere."

"Don't tell your sister about this when you go back, just say I'm stupid, I'm sure I'm good at home, don't quarrel with my sisters, you can say more good things, and let my sister rest assured." Cui Wanying gently pulled down Lan Ying's hand that was blocking her lips, and instructed faintly.

The eyes of the master and servant were full of emotion, and the two people, who were originally just face-lovers, suddenly felt that the distance between them and each other was much closer.

At this time, the guests who came to celebrate the birthday have already arrived, because they can't sing, they don't juggle, Mr. Storyteller, and the eldest granddaughter who wants to see them can't go home temporarily, so Mrs. Cui asked the younger generations of the Cui family, in order of eldest and youngest, to offer birthday gifts one by one, in order to have fun.

Mrs. Cui has lived to her current age, with seven male grandchildren and thirteen female grandchildren under her knees.

Because of these grandchildren, the age difference between granddaughters is quite large, and the gifts are also light and heavy, more and less.

The most valuable thing is a pair of mutton fat jade Ruyi sent by Cui Changhao, and the most elegant is a song that Cui Changjian specially made for his grandmother.

The cutest is Cui Wanrong, a five-year-old thirteenth lady, who painted a crooked longevity peach with her own hands.

And Cui Wanqing's dedication to the embroidered hand, without a stitch and a thread of false hands on other people's Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, is the most sincere congratulatory gift today. (To be continued......)
