Chapter Seventy-Six: Contrast

Who knew Cao Mu's troubles, and before he could think of a smooth solution, his daughter heard the unobstructed voice of his daughter.

still has no scruples, from the outside of the house all the way to the house!

The tone

That tone

And the shouting affectionately, with a heartfelt trust of 'Brother Qi Shi'!

Is

"This girl, why is she so familiar!" In Cao Mu's heart, Deng is a fierce twitch, which is called a nervousness! "My stupid daughter, my sister, that's either a princess, or a county lord, or at worst, she has to be a county lord."

"You are a little girl in the third room of the Hou Mansion, we really can't climb this high branch, and we can't call this world brother!"

Cao Musheng was afraid that his family, a solid-eyed little girl who was kept in the dark and didn't know anything, would say something inappropriate in front of the good prince after a while, and it would be a shame.

"Tang'er, come here, come to my father."

"Let my father take a good look at you, have you grown taller?" Cao Mu smiled and beckoned to her daughter, looking like a loving father, looking really like that.

Nonsense!

If he didn't hurry up to find an excuse, he would get people to look at him first, could it be that he was really waiting for his daughter to make a mistake again?!

Besides, call people to the side, the distance between the two is close, Cao Mu might as well take a chance to give Cao Tang a slight wake-up, isn't it?

And Cao Tang, who was standing at the door, had just finished saluting Cui Yongzhong and Qi Xuanhui, and heard what his Lao Tzu said. But suspicion suddenly arises.

I couldn't help but think to myself: "I said dear Laozi, you seem to be separated from me, and it's only been six or seven days, right?" ”

"In just a few days, can you see how much a person has grown?"

These words, this expression, and this kind tone are obviously not her words.

Because he saw too many strange things, there was a brief pause at Cao Tang's feet in an instant, according to the experience of the father and daughter who had been together for several years. She figured out. It should be that my father has something to tell him quietly.

Cao Tang was guessing in his heart what he was talking about, and he smiled at the same time. Walk towards your father as naturally as possible.

Because of Cao Tang's sudden appearance. Attracted most of the attention of everyone in the room.

Cui Wanqing entered the door with Cui Yongzhong. After Cao Mu and Qi Xuanhui said hello, they were free, and they could take the opportunity to take advantage of the rather spacious private room in front of them. I took a look at it with interest.

The style of this private room, like the guest room they live in now, is mostly decorated with objects made of bamboo and wood, green and cool.

The only difference, that is, the objects placed on the multi-treasure grid, there are more precious objects such as jade and coral.

The snow-white wall is not empty, but there are a few good calligraphy and paintings, which add some bookish flavor to the room.

I think it's also because the guests received here are all rich or noble, and they are particular about everything.

The reason why they want to come to the guest room where they temporarily live is not very decorated is that the guests who come in can use their own things to decorate the house according to their own preferences, and then pack and take it away.

But the boundary of this meal is different, no matter what, from the capital to Jiangnan, Cui Wanqing has never seen anyone's house, in order to eat a meal, he carries all kinds of valuable ornaments, laborious arrangements, after a meal, and then upside down, they are all packed into a brocade box and taken away.

Well, of course, there are exceptions!

Cui Wanqing thought of this, and finally couldn't help it, and quickly glanced at Qi Xuanhui.

This lord has a lot of pomp and love, didn't he do it in his previous life?!

At that time, Cui Wanqing was already discouraged about getting Qi Xuanhui's sincerity, and her show-off temperament was no different from Qi Xuanhui.

Qi Xuanhui in his previous life, although he couldn't give Cui Wanqing care and care, he was still very generous in terms of money.

There is such a master who will collect money everywhere, Cui Wanqing, the concubine of the good king, can really be regarded as the number one loser woman in the capital.

"Okay, Tang'er don't pester your father." Cui Yongzhong saw Cao Mu muttering and Cao Tang whispering, and felt that it was out of place and too rude.

called 'Mother Fang' and ordered, "Let your young lady, take Miss Biao to sit inside." ”

Cui Wanqing was pulled back by this sentence, and in the flow of her eyes, she unexpectedly touched a pair of shining eyes that implied worry.

She thought that her loss of consciousness might make Qi Xuanhui worried.

Then he shook his head imperceptibly, and called with a smile: "Tang'er, come here, cousin will take you into the inner room." ”

Qi Xuanhui was already paying attention to Cui Wanqing, and this person's vague gesture, he naturally didn't pull it at all, and it was all in his eyes.

was relieved in his heart, and there was a little nervousness in the sweetness, after all, they would be in front of Cui Wanqing's father and uncle.

Isn't the most feared thing about these subtle interactions being seen through by the elders?

Obviously a little worried, but in my heart, where did that little joy that couldn't be ignored come from?

Qi Xuanhui couldn't help but think: "Could it be that this tense atmosphere makes people feel excited?" ”

Thinking of this, he really sighed a little, his sudden bad taste.

The so-called inner room in the mouths of Cui Yongzhong's father and daughter is actually just two-thirds of the way in the house, and there is a large rosewood screen with fog and sand embroidered pine cranes and extended years.

Because the sand is light and transparent, you can vaguely see that behind the large screen, there is a square table carved with pineapple wood and smiling Arhats.

On the east and west sides of the square table, there is an official hat chair respectively, which is covered with bamboo-green tribute satin embroidered chair covers, the color is new, the embroidery is fine, and the orchids and lotus flowers are bright in color and lifelike.

This is what Cao Mu used the money just now, and specially asked the masters of the hall to clean up for Cui Wanqing's cousins.

If it were just their father and daughter, they wouldn't need to be so troublesome. But now, isn't there more Qi Gongzi, a foreign man?

It's just a matter of talking, but if you use rice, you really have to cover it up, and it will save everyone from being uncomfortable, and you can't even use the rice well.

Although Cui Wanqing invited her, she looked at Cao Tang for a while, and she didn't want to come over, this little girl was muttering in Cao Mu's ear.

She's really not good, just standing like that. simply bowed his knees to Qi Xuanhui. He said with a light smile: "Thank you, Brother Qi Shi, for taking care of our sisters along the way, if Gongzi is in Jiangzhou City, there is something that needs our help." Please don't be polite. ”

Qi Xuanhui knew that this was deliberate. Hurry up and stand up with great cooperation. The well-behaved hands clenched into fists and returned the salute.

Gently waved her hand and smiled, "Cui Shimei is polite, the mountains are cool." Hongruo Temple has a beautiful scenery, and you will stay a few more days in the next. ”

"In the past few days, there is no place to trouble the two elders, we are a foreigner and a fellow countryman, which is really rare."

"To paraphrase the words of the Buddha, 'all living beings meet is fate', in this case, why do we have to thank me like this, I thank you?"

"The family that was originally affectionate has no choice but to make a difference, which is not what I want to see."

When Cao Mu heard this, he couldn't help but smile and laugh, and he really felt that he didn't violate the harmony.

Just now, he also whispered to his daughter that if there are guests, you should pay attention to your speech and behavior, don't be too casual, and let people talk about it behind your back, which is not beautiful.

Now that this person said such a thing, he couldn't help but be a little worried, if he gave his daughter a temporary instruction just now, would it still work?

Originally, with Cao Tang's temperament, seeing that Cao Mu began to ramble again, he must have pouted and pulled his face, indicating how impatient he was.

But today, she rarely didn't give Cao Mu a look.

I don't know what's wrong, seeing that Cui Yongzhong, the third uncle, has not taken the initiative to say a word of concern to his cousin Qing for so long after she and Cui Wanqing entered the house.

The only time she said to Cui Wanqing was to tell her daughter to take her to the inner room, and from Cui Yongzhong's eyes, Cao Tang could see that the third uncle thought that she and Cao Mu were like no one around.

felt that it was disrespectful to the guests like this, so she had to interrupt the conversation between her and Cao Mu.

There is such a father who doesn't care about his daughter at all, and Cao Mu, a father who cares about his daughter's trivial things, was immediately set off with great love!

Cao Tang really felt that happiness filled her body, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tilt to both sides, feeling that although her mother unfortunately died early, it was also her great luck to have a father who loved her.

But when she heard Cui Wanqing call her over, Cao Tang, who was pitiful, immediately couldn't help but pull her own Lao Tzu's sleeve.

He leaned in again and whispered, "Father, you better hurry up and think about it and get the third uncle home." ”

"Look at him, he looks weird, he doesn't say a word for a long time, and he doesn't say a word of kindness to Cousin Qing, this speech is a cold commander!"

"My daughter thinks that if he stays in the temple any longer, he won't become a fool?"

Cao Mu instinctively wanted to scold, but fortunately, the moment he was about to rush out of his mouth, he thought of Qi Xuanhui's strange existence, so he had to hold back his words and nodded indiscriminately.

In fact, Cao Tang really misunderstood Cui Yongzhong, who recently talked with several masters, from Buddhism to people's livelihood, from the royal family to the people's home, it was the time when Dajue suddenly opened up, and his former self was just a frog at the bottom of the well.

If Cao Mu invited Cui Yongzhong to Jiangnan, it gave him a chance to get out of the shackles that imprisoned him.

Then get along with a few virtuous monks with great wisdom day and night and listen carefully. It opened a new door for Cui Yongzhong.

In the past month or so, he has gone back and forth several times between Jiangzhou City and Hongruo Temple despite his hard work.

With every meeting and every conversation, Cui Yongzhong has benefited a lot.

He saw a lot of his shortcomings and knew that he was the wrong way to avoid problems.

Because there is always only one way to solve a problem, and that is to face it directly and find a way to solve it!

In fact, even if Cui Wanqing and the others don't come this time, Cui Yongzhong will pack up his things and go home with Cao Mu in a few days.

Cui Yongzhong felt that in this life, the most sorry thing was Cao Yunxiu's wife, he watched her with his own eyes, from a immature girl to a beautiful woman like the bright moon.

In the best years, marrying him, a widower, became a stepfamily, and never disliked Cui Yongzhong because of his status as the daughter of the Hou Mansion.

With this gentle and lovely and very caring woman, he realized what is called deep love between husband and wife, and what is called fairy couple.

It's a pity that the good times of love are too short, and this woman who is like a fairy descending to earth, only for more than three years by his side, floated away and flew back to her original fairy palace.

What was left was only the endless sadness Cui Yongzhong, and the little baby who was crying.

Cui Yongzhong made the first escape in how to treat Cao Yunxiu's biological daughter, but he didn't know that from this incident, he spent the next ten years in evasion.

When he knew all the mistakes he had made, Cui Yongzhong was confused, he really didn't know, what face should he face with this daughter who owed a lot now?

For this matter, he once had a deep discussion with Master Ran, and the master told him that the only thing that applies is to make up for the father's love owed to the child.

This statement is actually consistent with Cui Yongzhong's thoughts, so from that moment on, he thought about it countless times in his heart, after seeing Cui Wanqing's daughter again, he must be gentle and gradual, and he can't change too much, so as not to scare the child.

This time, I must have an in-depth conversation with Cui Wanqing and understand the things of the past ten years.

For this child who lost his mother as soon as he was born, and was deliberately avoided by his own son, Cui Yongzhong really felt that he had to give the child an explanation.

He, as a father, owes his child a 'sorry' for being late for many years

But he didn't expect that Cui Yongzhong hadn't seen his daughter yet, so he first saw Qi Xuanhui, a good prince who fell from the sky.

The impact of this prince who traveled in micro-clothes was too great, and Cui Yongzhong's heart hadn't come back to his senses until now, and it seemed that he was really estranged from Cui Wanqing.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little delicate, Cao Mu asked Qi Xuanhui to sit down, and asked his niece and daughter to sit in the room.

When everyone was seated, he raised the wine glass with vegetarian wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "People say that the food of our Dachengtian Temple is a must, that is because they have not tasted the food of Hongruo Temple. ”

"Today, in order to catch the wind for the three of you, I specially invited Master Yongzhong, who has the best craftsmanship in the temple, to take charge of the spoon, you know, Master Yongzhong has rarely done it now, but today is a refreshing promise, and you are very blessed."

Qi Xuanhui nodded with a smile, and asked suddenly: "Third Uncle Cao, did you give this dish to Master Ran and send a copy to them?" (To be continued......)
