And the sixth aunt, mother and daughter, who did not show up today, are afraid that they are still in their own homes, copying scriptures and books behind closed doors and meditating.

However, Cao Ying stood by her side in a good manner, and there was no sign of being affected at all, which really made Cui Wanqing look at her a little differently.

It seems that the eldest cousin is still very protective of her, Cao Ying secretly helped Duan Fengxin that day, and she didn't mention it to her grandmother, but the eldest cousin was clear in her heart.

Since Cao Ying is unharmed now, it must be Cao Rong who chose to shield her, the two sisters seem to be quite harmonious, but Cao Ying's identity is there, and the two of them must be incompatible.

I just don't know, will Cao Ying's compensation for this land cession be too miserable?

Thinking of these two cousins, one is completely the style of being the head of the house, focusing on the overall situation, calm and indifferent, of course, the demeanor of the eldest daughter is there, but the human touch is also very light.

The other one, with arsenic in his stomach and frost on his face, is still a sharp word, for the sake of interests, he is even willing to cooperate with his opponent, he is destined to be personal first, everyone else is a stepping stone, who dares to befriend her?

Fortunately, there is a little cousin who is a good one, although Cao Tang is straightforward and unforgiving, but he has an eye for himself, he is good with himself, and he is defending himself everywhere, which makes Cui Wanqing's heart very comforted.

It seems that the disappointment in my heart for my eldest cousin has also been washed away without a trace.

She took a few steps forward, holding on to the big red pillar by the pavilion with her hand, and watched the lake sparkling in the sun, swans and mandarin ducks swimming idly on the surface of the lake.

The flocks of water ducks are the most lively, foraging in groups and groups, sometimes rushing to the east, and then appearing in the south.

This eye-catching scenery, Cui Wanqing was relaxed and happy, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly, and sighed in her heart: "This is called a garden to relax." ”

"Cousin Qing, hurry up, let's go see the third brother painting Molian, this lake can't run, it's not too late to see it later!" Cao Tang took Cui Wanqing's arm and left, looking full of interest.

Cui Wanqing was infected by her happiness, and also raised a little interest in repairing her cousin's paintings, the two sisters held hands, standing side by side on the left side of the bookcase, and Cao Yun stood proudly on the right side of the bookcase, quietly watching Cao Xiu's paintings together.

Cao Rong sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and did not want to be served, he was very interested in doing it himself, peeling lychees little by little and eating, enjoying himself, and not going to join in the fun with his younger siblings.

Cao Ying beside her was looking sad, holding her head with her hands, sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals too lazy to move, with a pair of bright and smart eyes, looking straight into the distance, her stiff expression made her originally excellent appearance immediately lose a lot of color.

It's not that Cao Ying's Taoism is not enough, and she can't be happy and angry, but what happened just now was really too big a blow to her, and for a while, she really couldn't get back.

In fact, her brother Cao Ming, originally didn't come to join in the fun today, although Cao Ming is keen on ancient rites, and his personality has become more and more old-fashioned and mean, but his academic performance in Pengfei Academy is very top-notch.

He himself is also very diligent and studious, and he doesn't plan to relax even on his day off, he wants to do a splendid article seriously, so that he can ask teachers and friends to comment together tomorrow.

Who knows, Cao Ming just spread out the rice paper, and before he could write a word, he was forced to get it to Qingheyuan by his mother and sister.

Second Mrs. Cao and Cao Ying were so active, and they wanted Cao Ming and Cui Wanqing to meet, it was for the sake of Cao Ming's marriage.

Cao Ming is the son-in-law of the second room, but the second room itself is a concubine, this identity makes Cao Ming able to choose a wife candidate in the future, which is a bit of a situation where the high is not low.

On the day of her grandmother's birthday, Cao Ying cooperated with Duan Fengxin for some reasons that could not be made public, but what she saw was going to be done was resolved by Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang.

Duan Fengxin was questioned by Mrs. Cao on the same day, and asked Cao Yunru to take him home, and after copying the scriptures behind closed doors, it is estimated that without a few months of intercession, he will not be able to enter the gate of the Ming'an Hou Mansion.

But Cao Ying has been in the dark because of her secretive behavior, and she has a private transaction with Cao Rong to break her wealth and eliminate debts, which can be regarded as a disaster that can be regarded as escaping.

But she was also able to see that Cui Wanqing was a talented person, not a person who was stupid and could fiddle at will.

Inevitably, when the mother and daughter were talking, they even complained and vented, but when they heard this in the ears of Second Mrs. Cao, they had a different meaning.

Mrs. Cao Laohou and her two sons-in-law, how much they love Cao Yunxiu's sister-in-law, Mrs. Cao saw it with her own eyes, as if she was vivid, and she couldn't be clearer in her heart.

Even how much dowry Cao Yunxiu had when she got married, she knew very well.

Although she only had to watch it at that time, this would not prevent her from envy and jealousy.

Compared with Cao Yunxiu, his dowry is only half of that of others, and this is because of his mother's rich family, otherwise, he would have lost a lot of money.

Thinking of the dowry that was lifted and lifted back then, an idea came to the mind of Second Mrs. Cao, if Cui Wanqing could marry her son, then all the Qiqi that Cao Yunxiu had back then would soon be in her own house?

In this way, not only can you get the benefits of the sister-in-law's dowry back then, but also make your mother-in-law look at the second room differently.

In addition, Cui Wanqing is the concubine of Cui Mansion, although the official position of her biological father is not high, but the eldest uncle is a household scholar, not to mention that the Cui family is still a century-old family, and the family has a thick background, even if it takes ten lifetimes, it will not be finished.

Second Mrs. Cao thought left and right in her heart, and really felt that for her son, this was really a good family matter.

She happily told her daughter Cao Ying about this idea.

"Mother, I see what you said, even if my grandmother is interested in letting her granddaughter marry her grandson and have a kiss, I am afraid that this person will be the second brother or the third brother, if it is really like what you said, my daughter is afraid that my brother will not be able to take the turn of this matter." Cao Ying said this in one sentence.

Although she is also interested in the good things of her third aunt, she is also a student of Jinghui Academy, and her vision is not low, but Cao Ying knows that the better things are, the more she must keep them for herself, even if she really can't get them, she has to leave them to the closest ones.

The so-called fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, this is the truth.

Now his brother is obviously an outsider, and the second and third brothers are the top of my grandmother's heart.

Second Mrs. Cao pursed her lips, smiled sarcastically with a sarcastic smile in her eyes, raised her eyebrows and lowered her voice and said: "Yes, your grandmother must think so, even your eldest uncle and third uncle, I am afraid that they are very willing, Ba has to have a nephew's daughter and become his own daughter-in-law, so that he can take care of it under his nose." ”

"But, my good daughter, don't you want to think that your eldest aunt and third aunt can agree to this?"

Seeing her daughter's stupid appearance with her mouth open, she smiled and tapped on Cao Ying's head, and explained her daughter's confusion: "Your second brother is going to inherit the throne in the future, with his appearance and bearing, and he is both civil and military, if you want to find a young lady from the prince's family, it is really not difficult." ”

"And your third uncle, looking at Qinggao, looks at everyone who is kind to everyone, but her bones are the most high and low, how she married your third uncle in the first place, others don't know, I can see it clearly."

"She is now bent on finding a big backer for your third brother, so that your third brother will have a smooth career in the future, and his life will be no worse than your second brother! ：

"No matter how good your cousin is, no matter how much dowry you have, but this identity is not enough, but you can't see it in the eyes of your third uncle."

Cao Ying originally thought that it was something that was not involved, but she would listen to her mother's analysis, and she really thought it was possible, if this Cao Yun and Cao Xiu couldn't do it, then her brother would have hope, after all, Cao Ming was also a descendant of the Cao family, right?

If Mrs. Cao Laohou wants to keep her granddaughter by her side, if her daughter-in-law is not happy, then it will only fall on the second room.

This truth, the second lady Cao also told Cao Ming clearly, but this person didn't say a word at the time, turned his face and offended people ruthlessly, Cao Ying arrived late just now, but she was angry and had a dispute with Cao Ming.

"I, Cao Ming, am literate at the age of three, read at the age of five, and am also a number of figures in Pengfei Academy, if it is known that I calculate my cousin's dowry and climb up by relying on women, then will I be a man in the future?"

"It's your business to toss with your mother's dear, don't pull me into the water, I won't marry a yellow-haired girl anyway! If you want to marry, marry yourselves. Cao Ming knew that it was useless to shirk, so he simply came to a self-destructive image and put this matter away from the root.

Thinking of the bastard words that his brother said, completely ignoring the sincerity of himself and his mother, and throwing it in the mud and trampling on it so casually, Cao Ying's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist again, and she felt that her brother was a bastard, and it was not a good thing at all.

Of course, Cui Wanqing didn't know that she had not yet gotten rid of the Bian family's photo, so she was secretly worried about it again, and she was watching Cao Xiu draw lotus flowers intently at this time.

The painting style of the Dajing Dynasty is the most noble and gorgeous, no matter what kind of painting, whether it is a landscape or a figure, it is all colorful, which makes people look at it and be amazed.

However, Cao Xiu's painting method is very different from the world, he does not use a little paint, he uses Hui ink to smudge, this white rice paper, the ink-colored lotus flower jumps on the paper, although there are only a few brushstrokes, but it is vivid and flexible, freehand and natural.

Cui Wanqing couldn't help but applaud, "The third cousin's ink lotus picture, its painting style, can really be described as a unique way, there is not much ink, but it makes the vibrant lotus flower jump on the paper, it is really lifelike, free and easy, my cousin really admires." ”R1152
