Now that Cui Changjian can go out with Cui Wanqing, although it is to go to the Cao family's grave, it is at least a good start, which shows that in addition to his relatives and sisters, he is finally willing to try to accept others again.

Mrs. Cui smiled and held Cui Wanqing's little hand, and sighed with emotion: "Don't look at your third brother, he is top-notch in everything he does, not only has he never embarrassed our family, but he has always won glory for our Cui family, but in fact, he has a great life." ”

"Say something that you shouldn't say as a mother-in-law, your stepmother is too uneducated, she treats her own children like enemies, I really don't know what she thinks in her head."

"Your third brother was under her control when he was a child, and when he was older, he moved to the outer courtyard, which can be regarded as getting rid of her, but he is a proud character, and I am afraid that I can't forget the sin I suffered at the beginning."

Mrs. Cao looked at Cui Wanqing's immature face that was also stained with sentimentality, and couldn't help but think of Cao Yunxiu, who died early, the daughter-in-law she personally chosen, was the most generous, and she had never treated her stepson and stepdaughter harshly.

She couldn't help but feel sad, and even the tone of her voice changed a little, "Alas, if your mother was still here, how could you live like this?" ‘

When Cui Wanqing heard her grandmother say that Mrs. Cui treated her children like enemies, her heart and liver couldn't help but tremble, "Isn't it just treating enemies?" ”

Thinking that Second Mrs. Cui has hidden such a dark and unknown mind, she has hidden it so well for so many years.

In her last life, she was a little concubine, and she was confused and did it right with her for ten years, and in the end she only gave it away, which seems to be quite light.

If you can't keep it, people will take it for granted that they are sending themselves to the Liangwang Mansion to enjoy their happiness!

"It's all poor people, who can be better than whom?" Cui Wanqing sighed secretly in her heart, no wonder Cui Changjian was wary of everyone.

She cheered up and smiled and comforted her grandmother: "Grandmother, don't worry about the third brother, after the eldest sister enters the palace, Qing'er will naturally take care of the third brother for her, and his granddaughter will go around often, but if you see that maid's mother, you know." ”

"You, just rest assured."

Mrs. Cui was so amused by her that she couldn't stop laughing, and it was not surprising that she left Cui Wanqing for dinner at night, which was just that.

Coming out of the main house, Cui Wanqing went directly back to her house, and when she saw that there was only Brother Li alone in the house, she couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, there are usually a lot of people in this house, why are you the only one today?" ”

Brother Li pursed his mouth, Wen Wen quietly bent the corners of his mouth, and curtled his knees and replied: "If Miss Servant Hui, Mother Fang and Mother Zeng took Sister Yulan and Sister Yingqiao to fold gold and silver ingots to our wife in the small hall." ”

"The maid is clumsy, always folded badly, Mother Fang dislikes the maid for messing with things, so she sent the maid to the house to wait for you to come back, and you don't have any personal inquiries, right?"

Cui Wanqing rarely saw Brother Li so serious, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, who taught you the rules?" This etiquette is steady, and his speech is quiet, but he still looks like it. ”

Being praised by her, Brother Li's big eyes flashed with joy, "It was taught by Mother Fang, she said that the servants are not too young, and the rules that should be learned must be learned, otherwise you will not want to serve you for the rest of your life." ”

"You know, the servant wants to go out and open his eyes the most, where do you dare not care? Miss, don't worry, the maid must study seriously, and it won't take long to accompany you out. ”

Cui Wanqing smiled and nodded, this maid learns the rules, that's a must, spoil her and don't let her learn, that's what hurts her.

"Let's go, let's go through the small hall and fold the ingots for my mother, how can I miss my own daughter?" Cui Wanqing beckoned to Brother Li, and the master and servant went to find Fang's mother and them intimately.

The two entered the small hall one after the other, and saw that the bamboo basket containing ingots was already full of three, and there were three more that needed to be filled.

Don't look at the loss of going to the grave, but the rules that should be obeyed are all the same, otherwise it is disrespectful to the deceased, fortunately, there is an older and knowledgeable great-mother in front of them, and she has gone through these things countless times in the Cui family, and she can be said to know all about these doorways, but the arrangements are well organized.

Seeing Cui Wanqing enter the door, everyone got up to say hello to the master, Cui Wanqing stretched out her hand to help, "Get up, I will also come over to do my filial piety to my mother, everyone can do it together, and it can be faster." ”

Fang's mother nodded with satisfaction, and hurriedly made way for Cui Wanqing in person, "Miss, come, sit here, this place is close to the case, and you can save more effort." ”

Cui Wanqing did not stack this thing in her previous life, and the royal daughter-in-law had to stack gold and silver ingots with her own hands every year at the emperor's tomb to show her filial piety.

People go to other homes, they are all concubines, only she is a side concubine, and it is strange not to be oppressed and bullied, so she will not need to be pointed out, and she is sharp and beautiful.

Fang's mother felt so proud at first, and then felt sad in an instant, if she wasn't used to it, how could she be so skilled? Think about those scars on Cui Wanqing's hands again!

Mother Fang really can't wait to cut off Second Mrs. Cui's hands first, and see if she still bullies children?

After stacking the ingots, Zeng's mother and Fang's mother carefully ordered all the things they were going to bring to the grave tomorrow.

Although Cui Changjian said that he would not be allowed to prepare, but it was his own mother who went to see it, Cui Wanqing, her biological daughter, did not prepare anything, and went on the road empty-handed, for fear that she would be laughed at half to death.

In addition to fragrant wax paper money, gold and silver ingots, Fang's mother and Zeng's mother also cut several sets of paper clothes, some of which were inlaid with fur, and at a glance, they were almost the same as the real ones, but they were very small.

There are also pastries to be used for memorial services, in addition to preparing ready-made ones, Cui Wanqing also wants to start early tomorrow morning, make four things by herself, and do her filial piety to her mother.

In short, what should be done for the mother as a daughter, she doesn't want to be left behind at all, and she is still doing it with great interest.

Tomorrow must be to get up early in the morning, Cui Wanqing didn't read at night, did embroidery work, went to bed early, recuperated, and prepared to deal with tomorrow's things.

The next day, when it was still dark, Miss Cui Jiajiu got up, and after washing, she took Yulan and Yingqiao to the small kitchen, and was busy in it for nearly an hour.

With the dedicated help of all the mothers, I finally made four kinds of flavors and styles, all of which were fresh snacks that I didn't have to choose.

It is still two sweet and two salty, the two sweet are hibiscus milky mille-feuille crisp, rose honey red bean small horn dumplings, and the two salty are crab roe buns and shrimp crystal pot stickers.

Coupled with chrysanthemum lily lotus seed porridge, this can be regarded as Qi Huo.

As for why it wasn't the Dragon Boat Festival, but it made rose honey red bean dumplings, but this was because Cao Yunxiu used to love to eat this the most, Fang's mother had said it before, and Cui Wanqing remembered it in her heart.

Last night, I shouted that people were ready, and this morning the stuffing was adjusted, wrapped, and cooked, presumably Cao Yunxiu would definitely like it when he saw it.

She didn't care about it today, she did a lot of it today, and she was also watching her mothers do it, while serving a small jade plate, taking the opportunity to fill her stomach, and when these snacks were finished, Cui Wanqing could be regarded as having eaten well.

She asked Mrs. Cui to heat her share on the stove, and when Mrs. Cui got up, she sent it over.

I wrapped silver chopsticks with ivory with my own hands, packed a box for my mother, and asked Brother Li to wrap a box for Cui Changjian, wrapped in layers of coral velvet cloth on the outside, and sent it out.

Let Qiao's mother share the rest, and send some to the big room, the second room, the third room, and Mr. Kong, since there is movement, then you might as well let everyone know, and save them the effort of guessing behind their backs.

Cui Wanqing went back to the room to bathe and change clothes, and under the service of the maids, she wore the plain white dark flower cloud brocade jacket she chose last night, the same color without flowers and eight Luo skirts, and changed into moon-white plain embroidered shoes on her feet.

There is only a white jade crystal tassel hairpin on the meniscus sideburns, and a silk yarn made by the White House.

When I put on the moon-white Lingyun pattern cloak and took a look in the mirror, I saw the person in the mirror, all dressed in white pigment, but it looked even more moving, weak and pitiful.

When he arrived at the second gate, Cui Changjian had been waiting there for a long time, and said with a smile: "Ninth sister is a good craft, today the third brother has followed Aunt Yun to get wiped out, good sister, with your craft, our brother and sister will partner up to open a dim sum shop, so it's not a lot of money?" ”

Cui Wanqing shook her head amusedly, and sighed: "My good third brother, you have the appearance of a fairy, but you have the blood of our Cui family in your bones, so you love to drill these camps, you can open it if you want to, don't say anything else, you have more than nine sisters in the dim sum recipe." ”

"Miss Nine, this is what the second master of our family asked me to send to you, originally the second master also asked the old slave to accompany you to Xishan, but the third master said that he would accompany him and let the old slave rest his legs at home."

"In this case, the old slave will not follow the two of you, and please be more careful on the road, this is Cui Jian, let him run an errand with you, and wait for a question."

It was Cui Guangkui, the chief housekeeper of the outer courtyard of the Cui family's West Mansion, who was holding a mahogany plate in his hand, which was covered with a red cloth, and he couldn't see what the objects inside were.

Cui Wanqing smiled and curtled her knees and thanked: "My daughter has thanked her father for her kindness, and thank you Steward Kui for her care, so let Cui Jian follow the third brother and listen to the third brother's call, Sister Yulan, quickly take over her father's heart." ”

Yulan stepped forward from her side to pick it up, and at the moment when the two passed by, Cui Wanqing quickly whispered with a side face: "Be careful." ”

Yulan was shocked when she heard this, and when she picked up the tray, she couldn't help but feel strained in her heart, and even her hands were even harder, and even her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated. R1152
