Chapter Twenty-Eight: Appeasement

Cui Wanqing did not return after a long trip to the south of the Yangtze River this time, so more than half a month before her departure, she deliberately took the time to arrange time to visit her husband's house, the Meng family, the Cai family, the Zheng family, and these houses with similar relationships.

I first went to my husband's house, handed in a few recent works, and a gift for my husband, and told me about my upcoming trip.

Zhao Ziying is very much in favor of her going out, taking a walk, taking a look, and she can also broaden her knowledge.

At that moment, he also put a pen to make a list for her, and asked her to follow the list and leave everyone to watch it with her own eyes.

Looking at this circle, it must be a very beneficial thing for Cui Wanqing.

Cui Wanqing thanked her again and again, and promised her husband that her lovely children would bring interesting gadgets to play with them when they came back, and then she said goodbye and went home.

The next day, Cui Wanqing went to visit Meng's house.

This is all because after Meng Yuele learned the news of her long trip, she was very angry with her for a few days, thinking that such a big thing as her was actually coming to her, so she sued her.

said that Cui Wanqing didn't treat her as a good sister in her heart, she stuffed herself at home, dropped golden beans for a few days, and couldn't even eat her meal.

When Cui Wanqing heard the news, she couldn't smile bitterly, and she was inevitably worried, so she wanted to take a look in person and persuade her.

She gave a salute to the elders in the small flower hall, and she saw the warbler Yanyan in this room, but she couldn't see the familiar figure.

Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng both know that their children are for something. This will see Cui Wanqing's secretly concerned expression, and then I feel that it is not Meng Yuele who is serious.

This Miss Cui Jiajiu was also very concerned about Meng Yuele, so she naturally excused her, found a reason, and sent Cui Wanqing to Meng Yuele's room.

Meng Yuele actually knew for a long time that Cui Wanqing returned home to visit today, so she held her breath and didn't go to the Xiaohua Hall to join in the fun.

But in my heart, it was like a fire ball, and I couldn't sit still. In his boudoir, he was spinning inside and out.

It's like an ant on a hot pan. The maids and mothers who watched the room were all sweating.

"My good young lady, since you can't let go of Miss Cui Jiu in your heart. Then why not get dressed up. Let's go to the small flower hall to meet the guests generously? ”

The slave felt it. Miss Nine is generous, she will definitely not say anything bad, and you will go down the ladder. Wouldn't it be good to reconcile with her? Mother Zhu, who was sitting embroidering under the window of the west wing, couldn't help but persuade her young lady when she entered this room for the third time.

She is Meng Yuele's grandmother, and now she is in charge of the maids in Meng Yuele's house, and she is the only one who dares to persuade Meng Yuele when there is a fire above her head.

Meng Yuele was in a very bad mood, and she casually wore a homely gown with goose yellow inlaid willow green edges, and her long black hair was on the left side of her neck, and she used a jade hairpin to pull a basket.

The eyes were red, the nostrils were slightly open, and I looked at Zhu's mother panting and not opening her mouth.

The willow leaves with sour feet behind her looked at Mother Zhu and blinked vigorously, but Mother Zhu looked down and began to embroider again, as if she hadn't seen it.

said in a non-salty mouth, "Alas, it took half an hour to burn that set of pink soft satin gowns before, and there was not a single fold in it."

"Liu Ye, I want to wear that moon-white pink-edged gown, with the one sent by the embroidery room, a Luo skirt embroidered with white flowers." Before Mother Zhu's words were finished, she listened to Meng Yuele's crisp voice in a hurry, "By the way, I still want to bring that set of red coral heads, as well as the string of Dongzhu bracelets that my grandmother rewarded a few days ago." ”

Listening to Liu Ye's happy response, he turned around and walked to the door, lifted the curtain and commanded loudly: "Liu Si, you go and take the clothes that Miss ordered to be ironed, Cui'er, go and call Liu Zhu to comb Miss hair." ”

She herself was in charge of Meng Yuele's jewelry, and watched the little maid fetch water and serve the master to clean her face, so she hurried to the bedroom to find the red coral head noodles.

Mother Zhu didn't even raise her eyelids, she sat firmly embroidering her own work, but her lips couldn't help but show her small, and whispered to the little maid beside her, "Go, tell Liu Ye, let her put the sachet given by Miss Cui Jiu to Miss Miss." ”

Meng Yuele Here, Liu Zhu straightened out her long hair, and was planning to accompany her clothes and comb a delicate sideburns.

Listening to the ringing of the silver bell on the curtain outside, Huan'er was panting, and her little face was flushed and ran in to pass the word, "Third Miss, Miss Cui Jiu has come to our yard, and it is estimated that she will have to walk to Wangchun Tower!" ”

The little girl knows her own young lady, why is she angry these days, and when she saw the key person come in person, her excited eyes lit up, and her face was full of joy.

When Meng Yuele heard this, she stood up with a 'bang', but she only rushed three or four steps to the door before she stopped.

Turning around the large screen of embroidered birds inlaid with red sandalwood and tortoiseshell, he took off his embroidered shoes and retracted into his own stepping bed.

I don't need a maid to serve, I pulled over the flat peony quilt and wrapped myself in a cocoon.

The willow leaf holding the silver tray and the willow bead holding the ivory comb were made to look at each other by her wind-like actions.

In the end, it was still Liu Ye, the big girl, who was reliable, and cleanly handed the tray with the head in her hand to Cui'er beside her, and asked her to put it in the eight-treasure cabinet first.

He tugged at Liu Zhu's sleeve again, and said softly: "The third miss of our family is not feeling well, let's hurry up to the door to greet Miss Cui Jiu." ”

Liu Zhu looked at the Suluo gauze curtain that was still swinging back and forth through the soft smoke screen, shook his head helplessly, pulled the willow leaves, and went to the door in harmony.

Looking at Cui Wanqing's sedan chair from afar, Liu Zhu couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "The third miss of our family, when will we have half of Miss Cui Jiu, and those of us who are waiting can also put our hearts in our stomachs." ”

She looked at her own young lady, and remembered the recklessness of one play after another, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her head.

Liu Ye smiled at the corner of her lips and gently stroked her shoulder. for comfort.

The two greeted Cui Wanqing into the door affectionately, and together with Yulan and them, they hugged Cui Wanqing and entered Meng Yuele's bedroom.

On the way, it is indispensable to explain, "My young lady occasionally feels cold, people are uncomfortable, drink medicine, and are sweating in bed." ”

Cui Wanqing smiled silently, she knew this little girl's temper best, just her martial arts body. How can you get sick?

Aren't you angry with yourself?

Her feelings for Meng Yuele. is already mixed with a bit of vague family affection, so it is necessary to be more tolerant.

Look at the babu analysis, wrapped in a quilt, like a quilt tube with a fat insect cocoon. Cui Wanqing covered her lips and smiled.

"Tsk." Cui Wanqing lifted the hem of her skirt. Sit down beside Meng Yuele. said regretfully: "Why is Sister Le'er sick? Last time, she said that the set that my fifth sister wore on her head was beautiful with a pink hibiscus jade, so I brought her a set. ”

"Originally, I told her to try it. Let's see if it's good."

"Really? Is it the butterfly golden silk inlaid hibiscus jade step shaking? Meng Yuele suddenly lifted the quilt, looked at Cui Wanqing with sparkling eyes and asked.

Cui Wanqing's heart was cold, but she felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, in her previous life, her Zhen'er had a quarrel with her, she took the maid to coax, and the child also acted like this, such a tone.

Cui Wanqing couldn't be soft-hearted, and reached out to help Meng Yuele smooth her messy hair.

Softly said: "It's almost the same as that, but it doesn't look the same, Yulan, let Ah Tao bring that set of hibiscus jade jewelry." ”

Meng Yuele had already lifted the quilt aside, sat cross-legged beside Cui Wanqing, and couldn't wait to look at the red brocade box with anemone flowers embedded in Ah Tao's hand.

I saw that there were six pieces of jewelry, one large, five small, and six pieces of jewelry.

The big one is a magpie gold silk inlaid hibiscus jade plum blossom step shake, the magpie's golden wings trembled slightly, the tassel below is a small plum blossom carved by hibiscus jade, the small one is the size of a rice grain, and the big one is only the size of a mung bean grain.

Thinking of such a delicate step shake, the hairpin is in the hair, trembling slightly with every move, how delicate and beautiful it should be.

Meng Yuele couldn't put it down when she held it in her hand, "Oh, this branch is more exquisite than the branch of the fifth sister, her branch is just a hibiscus jade bead, and my branch is carved into a plum blossom." ”

"Thank you, Sister Qing'er, you are still the best for me."

While speaking, he looked at the remaining pair of hibiscus jade beads, a pair of hibiscus jade earrings, and a string of hibiscus jade bracelets in the box.

This set of jewelry is carved into plum blossoms, but the beads are inlaid with eastern pearls, and the earrings are inlaid with a pair of soybean-sized diamonds, and the hand is a hibiscus jade plum blossom, and an eastern pearl is mixed and strung together.

All of them are pleated and shining, and those who look at them can't put it down.

Cui Wanqing looked at Meng Yuele excitedly, and asked her fiercely, "Let's not be angry, okay?" ”

Meng Yuele was stunned, and the pair of earrings in her hand fell onto the bed, her mouth was pouted, and her eyes were red and she threw herself into Cui Wanqing's arms.

sobbing and begging: "Good sister, don't you go to Jiangnan, okay, you and Tang'er are gone, Le'er is so lonely, I can't bear you, don't leave me alone"

She cried sadly, Cui Wanqing's heart was not comfortable, Meng Yuele was the first ray of sunshine she came into contact with after being reborn, which was of great significance.

If she could, she also wanted to take people with her, but Meng Yuele was the heart of the Meng family, and the Meng family had gone through the incident of Fengyun Mountain last time, so where did she dare to let her go out again?

Cui Wanqing waited for Meng Yuele to cry for a while, then waved her hand and sent the person who was waiting out, and slowly said to Meng Yuele: "Good sister, sister, there is no way to do it, it's all for filial piety." ”

This will show how decadent the second master Cui has been since the death of the second lady of Cui, and how angry he is after hearing those bad rumors in the capital.

It's just staying at home, no one is seen, and it's been old for more than ten years.

Meng Yuele was so absorbed by this that she forgot to cry, she pulled Cui Wanqing very nervously, and said with concern: "Then are you accompanying your uncle to go out for a walk this time?" ”

Cui Wanqing nodded lightly, "It was my third uncle who met my father by chance when he came to visit, and I was shocked to find that my father had actually become like that. ”

"That's why I worked hard to persuade him, and I dragged my father to go to Jiangnan with their family, but I also wanted him to change the environment and forget about those gossips."

Meng Yuele is innocent and cheerful, and has a kind nature, so she can get Cui Wanqing to befriend her.

This will listen to Cui Wanqing not shy away from suspicion, and tell her about all the private affairs at home, and she is also moved in her heart.

Although she is an impatient temper who listens to gossip, because she cares about Cui Wanqing, when the elders, sisters-in-law, and sisters in this family are discussing, they will still pick on the affairs of the Cui family and listen to it.

Naturally, I know that the second master Cui has died three wives, and there are rumors in the capital that the second master Cui has a hard life, and he is the life of a wife.

For this matter, she once turned her face with her cousin in the fourth room, and scolded the cousin who came out of the house, she was a broken family of Shaojiao, she loves to chew her tongue behind people, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to marry in the future!

For this, Meng Yuele and her cousin were also punished by their grandmother, and they copied the female commandments thirty times.

Don't look at her so fierce in front of others, but in front of Cui Wanqing, she didn't dare to say a word, for fear of making her sister Qing sad.

What Cui Wanqing said at this meeting is reasonable, how can she really be that rude person, and she will no longer be angry after agreeing to be aggrieved.

turned to beg Cui Wan to come back early in the morning, and the two locked up in the room and talked for two hours.

Meng Yuele called someone to come in and serve, took care of her makeup seriously, and deliberately wore the set of jewelry that Cui Wanqing had just given her.

Not to mention, this set of hibiscus jade jewelry, accompanying her set of clothes, really complements each other.

Cui Wanqing looked at whether she lowered her head and talked to her Meng Yuele, because of this action, the magpie's wings between the sideburns shook happily, as if she was about to spread her wings.

I can't help but understand why Meng Yuele can't put it down when she thinks about it.

When they arrived at the Xiaohua Hall, when everyone in the Meng family heard that such valuable jewelry was given by Cui Wanqing, they couldn't help but look at Cui Wanqing with surprised eyes.

Some time ago, Miss Meng Jialiu, who had a quarrel with Meng Yuele, was even more jealous, and even the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn.

His eyes stared fiercely at the trembling gorgeous step, and he muttered something silently, or the maid beside her, and when he saw that something was wrong, he pulled her.

Miss Meng Liu returned to normal, looked around, and felt that everyone was paying attention to Meng Yuele, but no one saw her gaffe, which could be regarded as a sigh of relief.

And the elder Mrs. Meng, the knowledgeable Mrs. Meng, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law know that this set of jewelry is worth a lot of money.

Not to mention anything else, just this exquisite carving, the round East Pearl, and the two rare diamond diamonds, dazzling flowers.

With so much value put together, can it be cheap?

But such a precious thing, a young lady who is not as close as it can give it away, but she doesn't even blink an eye, and she gives it away.

Both of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "The Cui family is really rich." ”

In fact, the two of them were mistaken, this set of jewelry was obtained by Cui Wanqing and Qi Xuanhui, and it has nothing to do with the Cui family! (To be continued......)
