Chapter 194: Shocking
Qi Xuanzhen's praise is really from the heart, for no other reason, now, looking at the capital, the sons of those high-ranking families are either studying hard behind closed doors, just for the middle move, or relying on family kung fu to start from military generals.
But whether it is after the middle move, or when he becomes a military general, how many people can give up the prosperity and comfort of the capital, run to the realm thousands of miles away, and become a seven-grade sesame petty official?
So in this comparison, Cui Changjian has indeed set a good example for the nobles in the capital.
It would be a great benefit if we could bring out a trend from here and let these people who don't eat the suffering of the world go out and experience it for themselves.
With these few things, the Cui family's status in the capital immediately made a qualitative leap, obviously from a rich family to a hot noble family.
Needless to say, in the eyes of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, the Cui family has also entered a first-class family from the original medium status, and this change really makes the ambitious Master Cui very pleased.
And Cui Wanqing's courtesy happened to be the first happy event after the Cui family became prosperous, and Mrs. Cui, who had been low-key for several months, waved her hand and ordered everything to be the best without publicity.
With her words, doesn't Mrs. Cui have to cheer up and handle this niece and nephew?
Between her and Master Cui, it is not the kind of situation where you don't talk about it, and this mother's family is also a place where information is reached, so she also vaguely knows some news.
It's just that this kind of thing, as long as the will is fed in one day. Then there will be the possibility of change, Mrs. Cui has been in charge of family affairs for decades, and she can straighten out the affairs of the house in an orderly manner, which is enough to prove that she is a brain.
If this is not confirmed, Mrs. Cui will definitely not spread it randomly, even if every time she sees Cui Wanqing, she will be a little excited in her heart, but she still insists on not spitting out half a word.
It's just that in the matter of Cui Wanqing and Lu, he is very concerned, although his master and uncle have discussed. Most of the people invited were their own relatives. I don't want to be too public.
But Mrs. Cui remembered her mother-in-law's words, 'Everything must be the best', that is really a big treasury in the house, and it is arranged as well as possible.
Be sure to keep your guests low-key. See the background of the Cui family. The trivia is not to be enumerated. It is only said that the tea sets used to entertain guests that day are all sweet white porcelain from the official kiln of Qingyishui.
Whether it's a saucer for fruit or a cover on top of an officer's hat chair. It must be a complete set, so that the weather of the entire Cui Mansion is not completely new?
At this time, in the room of Mrs. Cui of Songcui Courtyard in Dongfu, the maid's mother was busy cleaning up, and this is also a place for hospitality today, so you have to hurry up and do the last check.
Different from the warm and joyful atmosphere outside, Mrs. Cui, who was sitting in the back room, had a solemn face, and asked her eldest son very seriously, "Boss, you just said that the queen mother in the palace today and her old man may issue an edict to the nine girls of our family, what does this mean?" ”
"The old body told you that the big girl and the fifth girl want to be rich and noble, and the old girl can't stop it at all, and it can't hinder their good deeds."
"But Qing'er is different, she is a good boy who is well-behaved, she keeps her duty, and she has never had the heart to climb high branches."
"I understand your thoughts, and I know that you are all for the sake of the family, but my mother wants to ask you now, why are the girls in the second room struggling in the harem now?"
"Why is it that the girls in the long house are married to ordinary families, regardless of their grandchildren?"
Cui Yongxin was stunned by his mother's question, and quickly thought about the children in the family in his mind, not to mention, Mrs. Cui is really in one sentence, what she said is all right!
He originally wanted to explain a thing or two, but the facts were in front of him, and for a while, Cui Yongxin really couldn't say anything.
Old Madam Cui looked at the eldest son who had an open mouth and couldn't answer, waved her hand and sighed: "You don't have to worry, my mother knows that you husband and wife didn't do it on purpose, but it was just subconscious." ”
"Since you all know that the royal family is not easy to enter, why do you want to push the nine girls into that oil pot to suffer?"
"In the past, our Cui family couldn't go up or down in the capital, and it was uncomfortable to hold your breath in the middle, and my mother could only connive at you and go to a high place."
"But now, the form of our family has changed for the better, why do you still use your niece to consolidate your power?"
"You open your eyes and look at our family, the two young ladies are concubines in the palace, you are already a prime minister, and Changjian has also received a personal commendation from the saint, it is really like cooking oil in a fire, and the people who watch it are afraid."
"Son, it's too much, don't forget this old saying, if you don't listen to the persuasion of your mother, let Qing'er be the concubine of the good king on the pole"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." When Mrs. Cui said this, she couldn't help but have a trace of resentment in her eyes, and shook her head and said: "That red-eyed and poisonous villain in the capital, you may not be able to arrange for your brothers to sell their daughters for glory!" ”
There is no impermeable wall in this world, and Mr. Cui and his wife both thought that Mrs. Cui didn't know anything, but in fact, the circle in the capital was so big, but if there was a little rumor, everyone had to know about it.
And since the two princes won from Jiangnan in the year and returned to Beijing with great scenery, some rumors about Cui Wanqing have gradually spread.
Mrs. Cui is old and doesn't visit the house often, but she still has her own group of old sisters, and she is not a blind person, and she knows six or seven points about what she should know.
It's just rumors, rumors, all these rumors, even if there are a few words of truth, they have all been passed on and turned into empty words, where can they all be believed?
So the old lady thought as usual, even if her granddaughter was in Jiangnan, because of the proximity to the water, she had the blue eyes of the good prince, but according to the status of her own family, Cui Wanqing was at most named the concubine of the good king.
For the young ladies of other families, this is a great thing that can't be begged for, but Mrs. Cui feels that this is not a good thing.
Therefore, as soon as possible, she went to Mrs. Cao Laohou to discuss privately to see what good way she could come up with to help Cui Wanqing avoid this so-called 'honor'.
Unlike the rumors that Mrs. Cui heard by herself, everything Mrs. Cao Lao Hou knew was told to her by her son Cao Mu after he came back.
Cao Mu knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and in order not to worry his mother too much, he said a lot of good words about Qi Xuanhui, which was really praised in the sky, and there was nothing ordinary on the earth.
But no matter how good Cao Mu said, Mrs. Cao Laohou was reluctant in her heart, joke, this royal daughter-in-law, is that good? (To be continued.) )
