Old Madam Cui's joy just now receded, and she said to Cui Wanqing in a deep voice: "I want to come to the princes to pee and learn from Confucianism, and the real dragons among people are naturally not bad, but these words are not what we should say, and I will mention them again in the future, go, go back to your house and write a prayer post, grandmother is a little tired, and wants to rest crookedly for a while." ”

Cui Wanqing saw that Mrs. Cui's expression was different, and she knew that what she said probably touched a certain root in the old man's heart.

In these things, a little girl really can't say much.

All she can do now is get to the point.

I only hope that my grandmother can understand that there are many heirs of the saint today, and there are many people who want to sit on that throne, but don't make up your mind early.

Cui Wanqing accepted it when she saw it, smiled and curtsied and bowed.

Seeing her ninth granddaughter go out, Mrs. Cui gently put the tea cup in her hand back on the desk, took off her shoes, and closed her eyes on the couch to recuperate.

Fu Rui hurriedly put a soft pillow behind Mrs. Cui, took a thin brocade quilt with pink and purple embroidered lilies, covered it for the master, and then in the cabinet on the side, took out a pair of mahogany beauty hammers, knelt on the soft cushion on the foot, and beat Mrs. Cui's legs with strength.

Don't look at Mrs. Cui closing her eyes and recuperating, in fact, in her mind, a few words accidentally said by her granddaughter, reminiscent of a sincere conversation with her eldest son last night.

The eldest son of his own family, now he is bent on asking for the reputation of a capable official, in the officialdom, it is notoriously strict with himself, sitting in the important official position of the household book, and he is a clear water official.

Except for the filial piety that officials should take, he will catch it, and nothing else will be touched, but he will only do errands for the saint.

Such a high profile, although the Cui family's rich family resources are supporting him, but Mrs. Cui understands that the eldest son has a big hill in his heart, and he is afraid that it is not something that can be satisfied by a household secretary.

It is precisely because of his lofty goal that he was able to acquiesce to what Second Lady Cui did to the Ming'an Hou Mansion a few years ago.

At that time, Cui Yongxin was still just a four-grade Shangshu Zuocheng, but after that incident, after only two years of hard work, he rose all the way to the current Hubu Shangshu.

If it weren't for the fact that there are people in the palace who are good officials, Cui Yongxin would not have openly and secretly prompted Cui Wanhua, the eldest lady of the Cui family, to enter the palace draft.

Mrs. Cui knew very well in her heart that as long as she set up a family affair for her eldest granddaughter in advance, she could completely avoid the fate of the draft, and she would not have to be locked up in the high palace walls for the rest of her life.

It's just that when his son grows up, Cui Yongxin first said that his brother was moved, and then, even Cui Wanhua herself was willing to take the road of the draft.

Since all of them are willing, what else can she, a grandmother, say?

In a word, it is all for the future of the Cui family, even if Mrs. Cui knows that the pool of water in the inner courtyard of the deep palace is not easy to travel, but she can only keep silent.

You can't be an old antique that kids hate, right?

Mrs. Cui's vision as a housekeeper for many years has made her see farther, see more, and see more clearly, and don't do it if she gets in the way or something.

And Mrs. Cui saw the interests in Cui Wanqing, and Cui Yongxin quickly saw it, no, as soon as Ming Anhou took the initiative to show goodwill, he took it steadily.

Last night, Tete told himself that he must take more care of Cui Wanqing and let Cui Wanqing communicate with the Ming'an Hou Mansion more.

This is not the kindness of being a great uncle, but in the past two years, the Marquis of Ming An, the holy family has been quite long, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to collect it under his banner and use it for his own use.

Cui Yongxin was single-minded and talked to His Royal Highness the Prince, probably what was in his mind.

Mrs. Cui has never asked about the affairs of the court, and she always feels that this woman wants to look like a woman, but there is only one thing that she remembers very well.

Before his husband died, he took his hand and Yin Yin advised: "The boss of our family has grand ambitions, and he is very relieved, just the same, he must not participate in the battle for the storage position, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will frequently show favor in the future, he cannot let the boss pull the Cui family to stand in advance." ”

"You need to know, the world is impermanent, we are just mortals, we will never know, who will be the one who will have the last laugh, you just need to remember it firmly, and let our family boss remember that the Cui family is the emperor's courtiers, and we will always be loyal to the emperor!"

Thinking of this, the meaningful eyes of her husband made Mrs. Cui unable to lie down anymore.

The fact that the boss of his own family is more and more obviously inclined to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a good sign!

In line with the dogma of obeying the father at home, marrying and obeying the husband, and the husband obeying the son, he was unwilling to conflict with the eldest son, but now the eldest son's actions have crossed the line too much.

No one had ever mentioned these things to her before, and her absence for a long time had caused a loss of vigilance.

But today, Cui Wanqing's casual words made Mrs. Cui suddenly discover that after so many years, there are more and more princes in the saint today, and many of them have grown up, which means that the battle for the storage position is even more unpredictable.

Thinking of her father-in-law's parting warning, Mrs. Cui must not let her eldest son drag the entire Cui family to gamble!

From the dragon's work, it has never been so good.

"Fleur, you went to the outer courtyard in person and invited the eldest master over." Old Madam Cui suddenly opened her eyes and commanded.

But soon she added: "No, please go to the ancestral hall to see me, I will wait for him there." ”

"I went to invite Shu's mother over, and said that the old body should be made up according to the product!" Old Madam Cui commanded to Bai Cha.

Cui Yongxin was on vacation today, and he got the news of his mother's summons, he and Mrs. Cui had a very good relationship, and he didn't dare to let his mother wait for a long time.

The ancestral hall of the Cui family, located in the northeast corner of the Cui family's east mansion, is relatively remote, but the repair is very diligent, the paint water on the doors and windows is brand new, and the color is not the red of the past, but the slightly deeper vermilion, which looks like a solemn and solemn place.

The ancestral hall is the important land of the Cui family, and there are many people in this courtyard, and because of the importance of the errand, the monthly money is more than that of ordinary servants.

The mother-in-law who was waiting at the door welcomed Mrs. Cui in just now, and saw her own eldest man from a distance, and secretly thought in her heart, I don't know when it happened in the house, and it was inevitable that there was a little panic on her face.

Cui Yongxin, who has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, saw that something was wrong at a glance, turned his face and said a few words to the long entourage behind him, and glanced at the mother-in-law who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and this led the way to the door.

The chief follower behind him stretched out his hand and took a tael of silver in his purse, threw it in front of his mother-in-law, and commanded in a deep voice: "The lord rewards you, take care of your mouth." ”

He no longer went inside, but stood at the gate and looked around.

Cui Yongxin also muttered in his heart for a while, he still knows his own mother very well, this old lady is not an eventful person, he gets along well with his daughter-in-law on weekdays, and rarely tells himself anything seriously, and he has never invited himself to the ancestral hall to talk like this!

"What the hell is going on? Could it have something to do with what I said about the Nine Girls yesterday? Back then, I followed the meaning of Xifu and colded the Ming'an Hou Mansion, although her old man did not say it in person, but she was very reluctant in her heart, this time did she see my intentions? Won't let me do that? Cui Yongxin can only think of these.

He didn't know that the things that his own mother was going to tell him about a while were much bigger than this.

Cui Yongxin entered the door of the ancestral hall with wide open, and saw hundreds of tablets of the ancestors' families in front of him, stacked on top of each other, the portrait of the ancestor was hung in the center, and the portraits of the second and third generations of ancestors were hung on both sides.

Mrs. Cui arrived earlier, she had already put on the high incense, the incense candles and the ever-bright lamps in the ancestral hall were lit, but it was cloudy and mist, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.

Cui Yongxin first took the three sticks of incense from Shu's mother, faced the three heads of the tablet, lit the incense on the candle flame, inserted it into the red gold double tripod incense burner, and stood in front of the kneeling mat and kowtowed three respectfully.

Only then did he face Mrs. Cui again and bow down to say hello.

When he got up and looked, he was a little stunned, only to see that his mother was actually wearing a first-class makeup, and her expression was not strict.

"Mother, what's going on? Actually made you come with such a solemn makeup? Cui Yongxin blurted out.

Mrs. Cui looked at her son and waved her hand, and Shu's mother retreated with all the people in the ancestral hall, and when she went to the door, she closed the door while drinking hibiscus, and the two walked dozens of steps away, and stood there to guard, making a sentry for the two in the house.

These two people are the first trusted people of Mrs. Cui, and they are well versed in the way of slavery.

Mother Shu didn't serve in front of Mrs. Cui today, but she didn't know what Cui Wanqing said to Mrs. Cui at that time.

And Fleur was waiting in front of the old lady from beginning to end, and at this moment, her heart was really tumbling like a pot of boiling water.

"What Miss Nine said today, was it intentional or unintentional? Did she come up with it herself? Or did someone else tell her to do it? ”

"Miss Nine has always been cautious, even if it has changed a lot now, but this cautiousness has not changed, and she has never said a word in front of the old lady."

"Today, she seemed to say so many words unintentionally, but it made the old lady's heart uproar, this is not like Miss Nine's style of acting, if it is really her deliberate, then why is this?"

Fu Hui is now a bystander, and Mrs. Cui is a fan of the authorities, and both of them have different views on Cui Wanqing.

Cui Wanqing didn't know that Fu Hui was already suspicious of herself in her heart, so the big girl who cared about the most around Mrs. Cui deliberately paid attention to her, which was really not good. R1152
