Chapter 69: Inquiry
"I think this Bian family can let people talk, it must have been agreed with the Cui family a long time ago, this ninth young lady has never heard Master Cui mention it, and he is not favored in their family, and the two families have discussed good things, and he doesn't go over to go through the motions, so what's the harm in giving him a personal favor?" When Bai Guangwen thought of this, he had already thrown away the trace of conscience just now.
He twisted his beard and smiled: "Okay, thanks to Lord Bian's affordability, the old man will respond, Lord Liao will go back to Jiazhou to give Master Bian a message, and say that Bai is waiting in the capital to serve him with wine." ”
Liao Yi laughed, the two talked again, and left together, about to go back to the theater.
Cao Mu, who was leaning against the tree, clenched his hands tightly, and the hatred in his eyes could not be dissolved.
"You want my niece of the Cao family to be widowed for your Bian family?! Dream! "Cao Mu is no longer in the mood to listen to the drama.
turned around and went up to the second gate, planning to go home and discuss with the eldest brother before making plans.
Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the gate of his house, he knew about Cui Wanqing's visit today, and also knew that his second nephew went to the study in the outer courtyard and took Cui Wanqing to the inner house.
Cao Mu couldn't help sneering, "Big brother is really a good calculation, but I don't know, who can have the last laugh?" ”
Now he was not in the mood to find Ming Anhou, so he sent someone to inquire about Cui Wanqing's news, and went back to the yard to change his clothes, who knew that he and his nephew and daughter would go before and after.
On impulse, he shouted Cui Wanqing to his study.
Originally, Cao Mu wanted to ask, to see if Cui Wanqing knew about the Bian family's incident?
But then I calmed down and thought about it with my heart, how could a small child's family know about these major events of marriage?
I'm afraid that if I ask, it's in vain, and I will scare the child.
After being entangled for a long time, Cao Mu raised his head and asked sullenly: "Qing'er is at home on weekdays, but she still follows the elders to meet guests?" ”
After waiting for a long time, the third uncle asked such an inexplicable sentence, Cui Wanqing was a little confused, "My third uncle, it's really unreasonable, what is this asking?" ”
"When I used to live in Xifu, Qing'er was not in good health, and I had never seen a foreigner, and I moved to live with my grandmother some time ago, and I only saw my aunt visiting. Cui Wanqing didn't understand the situation and decided to tell the truth.
"Auntie?" Cao Mu turned this title around in his mind, his eyes suddenly lit up, he leaned forward, and asked very quickly: "Her husband's family is surnamed Bian?" Lord Jiazhou Thorn Shi Bian? ”
Cui Wanqing nodded in surprise and said, "Exactly, it turns out that the third uncle also knows?" ”
When Cao Mu arrived at this meeting, he finally came to the spiritual head, is this an unexpected joy?
He sat up straight and said to Cui Wanqing solemnly: "Good boy, you will carefully tell the third uncle about the situation of Mrs. Bian's visit that day, from beginning to end. ”
Cui Wanqing saw his attentive appearance, and her heart moved, "Could it be that the third uncle knows about the Bian family's courtship?" This is impossible, Lord Bian can only go to Beijing at the end of the year, and before this matter is completed, it is impossible for Mrs. Zhou to spread it around, besides, how can he, a man from the outer courtyard, know about this inner house? ”
She was guessing endlessly, and the look on her face was also hesitant.
"What's wrong? But what's the hard thing to say? Cao Mu looked at Cui Wanqing's indescribable expression, and felt that there was a drama, a big drama.
Cui Wanqing looked at the maids who were waiting around, and said embarrassedly: "It's about some trivial things at home, and my nephew's daughter is really not easy to say." ”
Cao Mu stretched out his hand and drove everyone out, leaving a pretty maid in her early twenties to serve.
Cui Wanqing looked at her bun, thinking that it was about her uncle's maid, and she kept a henchman in front of her, just to avoid suspicion.
"I didn't expect that the third uncle, who looked at the big grin, was so careful." She couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Cao Mu saw that everyone had gone out, and looked at Cui Wanqing's smiling appearance, she was in a good mood, and asked with a smile, "Can you say it now?" ”
Cui Wanqing saw his posture of not giving up until he reached his goal, and his scalp was a little numb, this person's personality is really different!
Holding on to some hope, Cui Wanqing made the situation of the day clear and clear.
The more Master Cao San listened, the more he understood, feelings, the Bian family went to the door for a blind date! In my heart, I couldn't help but take Mrs. Cui to her sister Mrs. Bian and scolded an ancestor for eighteen generations.
"Dare to calculate on the head of my family's Qing girl, but she has a good calculation, and it doesn't count if she treats her harshly, but she still wants to send people to the fire pit and become a widow?!"
"Zhou Yue, you poisonous woman, how jealous and hateful do you have to be? I can't get along with her children like this, so you can wait and see how I settle accounts with you two sisters!" After listening to what Cui Wanqing said, Cao Mu fell silent again, and secretly swore hateful in his heart.
Cui Wanqing saw that his face was even more ugly than just now, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Look at the third uncle's behavior, he must have heard the rumors, but I'm afraid it's just a few words, otherwise, how could he ask so carefully?" ”
Cao Mu felt that this matter was finally afraid that his brother would have to come forward to solve it, so he decided that without further ado, he had to talk to his eldest brother.
He was about to send Cui Wanqing to play with Cao Tang, when he heard the footsteps outside, and the maid waiting at the door said crisply: "The third lady and the sixth lady have arrived." ”
The curtain sounded, and after a while, I saw Mrs. Cao San hurriedly walking in with Cao Tang, she probably walked too quickly, her forehead was sweaty, and her cheeks were red.
He was wearing a rose-red gown with hibiscus flowers, and on the small stand-up collar of the middle coat, he wore a five-petal plum blossom buckle with burnt blue inlaid jade, making him look younger and younger.
Cao Tang followed closely, and when he entered the door, he looked at Cui Wanqing first, and saw Cui Wanqing's face calm and a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was relieved, and the two sisters smiled at each other.
"Oh, even if there is something wrong with my niece, you can just say it, no matter how big her temper is, think about her mother who went early, can she be angry again? A girl's family, you have to take care of her face! Mrs. Cao San looked at her husband, and first complained.
Her words were said quickly and quickly, and her tone was quite stern, which was not in line with her heart, Cui Wanqing was stunned when she heard it, "If this is said from the mouth of others, I will only think that she is provoking the relationship between our nephews and uncles, but it is the third aunt, could it be that Cousin Tang is exaggerating?" Shocked the third aunt? ”
Cui Wanqing wondered in her heart, Cao Tang was also ignorant, tugged on her mother's sleeve, and whispered: "Mother, I look at Cousin Qing well, it doesn't look like she has been wronged." ”
When Master Cao San saw this scene, he asked in surprise: "Who made his niece angry?" Who doesn't care about her face? I just asked her a few words, to see what worries you, I'm Qing'er's uncle, can I still eat her? What a big idea, look at your fuss posture, don't scare the kids anymore! ”
"I'm going to go to the outer courtyard to find my brother to talk, you two are just right to come, take Qing'er to your house to play, watch her carefully, don't swim in the lake again last time, and clean out some moths!"
After finishing speaking, Cao Mu didn't look at his wife who didn't look very comfortable, turned his face to look at Cao Tang and then said: "Fortunately, your eyes were bright last time, and the remedy was timely, otherwise, look at how I clean you up!" ”
Cao Tang was not afraid of him, stuck out his tongue, made a grimace, and hid behind his mother.
Cao Mu looked at his daughter, and couldn't help but look at it, Cui Wanqing, who was down-to-earth and generous, stroked her forehead and sighed softly, flicked her sleeves, and left.
Cui Wanqing saw that the third uncle went out, and hurriedly stepped forward to see the third uncle with a smile.
Mrs. Cao San pulled her up, and said with a smile: "Your third uncle is born with such a stinky temper, and he is a person who likes the new and hates the old. ”
She didn't know if she was explaining that she was mercilessly scolded by Master Cao San just now, or if she was hinting at Cui Wanqing?
It seems that this person still needs to have more contact, and look, this is the second time we have met, and how many new things have happened?
Cao Tang snorted after hearing this, "Confused? I think he is the most shrewd in the world, so he is not confused, even if he is confused, he is pretending to be confused! ”
"Last time, he promised me that if I could continue to stay in the small class of Class A, he would buy me a set of antique tea sets in Jing Ruifang, but I did it, he was good, and he hasn't bought it back for me yet! I've kind of taken him for granted. ”
"If I believe in him, I'll be a big fool!"
Seeing Cao Tang's puffing up and pouting mouth, Cui Wanqing laughed at her and comforted: "It's always the third uncle and noble who are busy, but whenever he has free time, he will make it back for you, so that you can be happy, how can you be unhappy in order to save a set of tea sets?" ”
Cao Tang pursed her mouth, but her face was better, she looked at Mrs. Cao San and said: "Mother, I will take my cousin Qing to my yard, so I won't go to your house, I have prepared good things for her, and I want to take her to see it." ”
Mrs. Cao's eyes flashed, but she soon returned to normal, and said lovingly: "Go, don't lead your cousin crazy, if you stumble your cousin, be careful that your old son beats you." ”
"Hey, got it." Cao Tang is a child in the end, and he has a straightforward temperament, and he doesn't like to think around the bush and pick out words.
instantly became happy again, pulled Cui Wanqing and ran out, not at all like a girl, a tomboy. R1152
