Chapter 30: Parting

Cui Wanqing privately felt that the marriage between the Meng family and the Zheng family was really awkward and unbeautiful.

The main reason is that she has privately sent someone to the Lu family to inquire, and the Lu family is going to marry into the Meng family as a candidate for the second room, which is Lu Shuang'er's little sister, and her name is Lu Xin'er.

Lu Xin'er is very young and very good at pretending to be cute in front of her elders, so she is very favored in the Lu family and has always been favored by her family.

is a typical face-to-face set, behind the scenes, by no means a good-looking lady, I heard that her personality is worse than Lu Shuang'er.

Think about it, such a lady who is not worry-free, the young daughter of the family, to put it mildly, it is used to pinching in the Lu family.

But when she got married, she had to be steadily pressed by Zheng Xiu'er, a young lady from an ordinary family.

How could Lu Xin'er's heart be willing?

I'm afraid that as long as she thinks that she, the second room, will have to stand in front of the lady in the main room every day in the future, talk with a smiling face, and call herself a concubine again and again, she can't help but jump to her feet.

Not to mention the lady of the second room, there are still many rules in dressing, only one is not allowed to wear red, it is enough to vomit blood from Miss Lu Jiajiao's daughter.

Cui Wanqing can almost imagine that in the future Zheng Xiu'er's married life, participating in such a Lu Xin'er must be indispensable.

In the backyard of the Liangwang Mansion in the previous life, at most, there were more than 50 concubines.

Whether it is overly favored or untouched, the open and secret battles between this woman are the most tricky. It's just a dazzle to look at.

Cui Wanqing felt that Zheng Xiuer's family was too simple, she hadn't even seen her wives and concubines compete for favor, so she had to directly face the fight with the second room, can she eat less?

Originally, she wanted to mention a few words, but when she saw Zheng Xiu'er seeing her makeup, she rarely gave birth to a happy appearance, and she thought that Zheng Xiu'er was very concerned about how she would marry when she got married.

It is estimated that she is worried about being compared by the Lu family and losing face, since Zheng Xiuer can worry about this. So what is her attitude towards this marriage? It goes without saying.

Cui Wanqing thought about it again and again, after all, she couldn't bear to pour this basin of cold water, everyone has their own fate.

Thinking that Meng Zelang could ask for Zheng Xiu'er as the main room, and pressed Lu Xin'er into a second room. He must have been a man of understanding.

There is the matter of Zheng Dagongzi to do the bottom. He will still protect the sister of the savior.

This woman. Whether it is the wife of the main room, or the concubine, or the aunt. As long as there is a husband behind him, that life will naturally be much better.

In addition, there is also a Meng Yuele, this sister-in-law is at least biased towards Zheng Xiu'er in her heart, with such a live baby by Zheng Xiu'er's side, isn't it more real than Cui Wanqing's few words of advice?

After the three of them appreciated the gift given by Cui Wanqing, Mrs. Zheng took Cui Wanqing to her bedroom under the pretext of taking her.

She took out a small white floral bag from the closet and put it on the desk.

Caressing the burden and smiling: "Fortunately, I haven't been lazy these days, and I made you two sets of summer pajamas, using the two cigarette shadow yarns you sent last time, and they happened to be brought to the south to wear." ”

"Not to mention, the clothes made of this good material look comfortable, and you must be cooler in the hot summer."

"Come, look at this embroidery, do you still like it?"

Cui Wanqing couldn't help but sneer after being grateful: "You too, this material is still a new color that only arrived in the south, you should tailor the clothes for Sister Xiu'er, why did you make it for me again?" ”

"I still have a Fang mother by my side, she is worried about this should be done, why bother to let you suffer?"

Mrs. Zheng sighed and said, "How is that the same? In my heart, I always think that I am your aunt, and you are the same as Xiu'er's girl. ”

"If your mother is still there, naturally she doesn't need me to worry about it, but she is unlucky, so she left us early."

"I'm an aunt, no matter what, I have to make you a few sets of clothes by myself."

Cui Wanqing heard her mention Cao Yunxiu, her eyes couldn't help but darken, and she stretched out her hand to relieve her burden and come to see.

I saw two sets of pajamas, one set of blue collar short undergarments, with wide-legged trousers, the neckline and sleeves are made of yellow beads, embroidered with small golden chrysanthemums.

Another set of pink and purple, but a pair of cardigans, when the chest is two long and flowing gauze belts, tied with a beautiful wishful knot, it looks refreshing and new.

The two sets of clothes are fine, and Cui Wanqing can see at a glance that this stitch and thread is operated by Mrs. Zheng herself, and there is no fake hand on others.

I said in my heart that I was not moved, it was false.

Thinking of this life, I have felt too much, too many unfamiliar feelings, and I always felt that human feelings were cold, and people would seek profit.

Now I know that it was her own bias and the wrong way to deal with others.

It turns out that if you change the right angle and change it in the right way, all the qiē will become different.

Cui Wanqing couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Aunt Jie, losing your mother is indeed a great pain in life, but Qing'er is lucky." ”

"You see, now Qing'er has two grandmothers who love her, and the two uncles are always more thoughtful than anyone else, Qing'er has a third brother, as well as you and Fang's mother"

"People say that contentment is the only way to be happy, Aunt Jie, Qing'er is really content."

Mrs. Zheng was suddenly sad by what she said, and quickly turned around and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Seeing this, Cui Wanqing hurriedly cleaned up her mood, put on a smile, and deliberately told the interesting story of her going to Meng's house in detail.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zheng was very concerned about the family her daughter was going to marry, listening attentively and thinking carefully.

After Cui Wanqing finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng had completely grasped the point, "Listening to what you say, this Miss Meng San is really a lover." ”

"I look at the ruler you just brought, the color is bright, it's not worse than this, anyway, Xiu'er is cranky when she is idle, it's better to use this ruler to cut clothes, and let her make a set of wishful knot pajamas for the third lady of the Meng family."

Cui Wanqing nodded with a smile and talked to the smart man. It's just that she doesn't bother, even if she is strong on her side, she has to be won by Zheng Xiuer herself, right?

Mrs. Zheng got this key news, she was in a good mood, and she pulled Cui Wanqing is good advice, and every word was to let Cui Wanqing go out, but everything had to be careful.

Cui Wanqing responded to everything well, and before parting, she forced Mrs. Zheng to stuff three thousand taels of silver tickets, saying that it was for her mother to press the box for Sister Xiu'er.

Mrs. Zheng is short of money right now. The confidence is really insufficient. After some pushing, he still accepted the silver ticket.

When I talked about this matter with Deputy Chief Zheng in the evening, I inevitably sighed and cried again.

It was still Deputy Chief Zheng who was open-minded and comforted: "Her family is already very rich. Her mother has that deep connection with you. Our family is for them, Cao Cui and the two families. can be regarded as doing his best, and for this reason, he also took a life in Qiaoyue. ”

"This kid can remember our kindness and take a hand at this critical point. also saw that she was indeed a kind-hearted person like her mother. ”

"According to me, you just have to accept the silver ticket with peace of mind, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you should repay her, so why bother not to open it, and find yourself unhappy?"

Mrs. Zheng thinks about it, even if she loses her eldest son, she still has a second son with outstanding literary talents, and a third son who is born to paint.

In addition, the daughter also married into a powerful family, and the lady of the main family is the right person, as long as there is a promising person in the future, and Cui Wanqing's favor, it is not empty talk.

She inevitably told Zheng Xiu'er about this again, and told her daughter that if she has the ability in the future, don't forget the friendship of your Cui family's sister.

The two of them took the ruler of Qian Xuesha, one cutting, the other embroidering, and worked together to make pajamas for Meng Yuele.

It is necessary to win the hearts of people who can help Zheng Xiu'er as much as possible.

Not to mention, this silver money is human courage, the Zheng family has an extra three thousand taels of silver tickets, and Cui Wanqing has a gold and expensive antique, and this waist pole will not be soft when it is boarded.

Deputy Chief Zheng was busy giving his daughter and looking for a good grange, there were two granges, one large and one small, to dowry, and it was not a small one to put in the eunuch's house.

Mrs. Zheng also took out the dowry list and added a lot of affordable things, and in the jewelry piece, it was doubled, and it looked decent.

The family has confidence, has something to do, sees hope, has a head, and the lost spirit is gradually coming back

In March, the spring breeze has blown all over the north shore, the branches have pulled out tender green shoots, and the flowers have also given birth to beautiful buds.

As far as the eye can see, the fields and hills, the streets and alleys, there is a vibrant spring scene everywhere, and even the shouts of those walking the streets and alleys are full of vigor and vigor.

The nearest port to the capital is Chongjin, a hundred miles south of the capital, which was originally just a small village, but because the imperial court chose to build the port in the south.

In just a few decades, the place has developed thrivingly, and it has expanded a hundred times more than before.

Merchant ships from the south to the north all gather here to unload goods, and sometimes some sought-after goods, even as soon as they get off the ship, are snapped up by traders.

The shops that are full of Jin are now much better than those in the capital, and all the time-honored brands have stores here, just to grab cheap goods.

In order to catch up with the fashion, many young ladies in the capital did not hesitate to bump the road, but also rushed here to buy some rare foreign goods to show off.

The Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info of Cao Cui's two trips is also to start here.

They hired a total of six large river boats, one for the owner's family, the other two were loaded with luggage, and the remaining three were all goods that Master Cao San wanted to sell in the south.

The one that the owner's family is riding is three stories high, and it is the largest river boat in the entire Lianyun River, called Treading Waves.

It was built so magnificently that those who have ridden it say that standing on a boat, as if in a house, does not feel the waves tossing at all.

On the ninth day of the third lunar month, early in the morning, the sky had just turned white, and the second master Cui led Cui Wanqing, and the father and daughter came from Xifu to Dongfu.

Bidding farewell to Mrs. Cui in the Songcui Courtyard, Cui Yongzhong took his daughter and kowtowed respectfully to Mrs. Cui on the brocade mat that had been placed on the hibiscus and white tea.

Looking at his decadent second son, he swept away the sloppy appearance of some time ago, wearing a scribe's robe of white muslin, and a white jade belt was solemnly tied around his waist.

Even the gray sideburns and beard were thinly dyed black, combed neatly, and the whole person suddenly became several years younger, and he looked energetic.

Her tears of emotion slid down her face in an instant, and she was originally a little reluctant to be in a mood, but she also improved greatly.

If a long trip can be exchanged for a self-exiled son and return to normal, let alone go to Jiangnan, even if he is allowed to follow Mrs. Cai's maiden brother to the Western Regions together, there is nothing wrong with it.

As a mother, I'd rather take all my sins on my shoulders than see the flesh that falls off my body and suffer a little bit of torture.

It can be said that how long has this second master Cui been decadent, and how long has this old lady Cui's heart been entangled and sad.

Although she is crying now, it is tears of joy, and she hurriedly asked people to help Cui Yongzhong's father and daughter up.

Indispensable and indispensable, Cui Yongxin looked at his mother-in-law, and there was some endless formation, and hurriedly gave Mrs. Cui a look.

Mrs. Cui looked at the time when the old lady was drinking tea, and smiled and invited everyone to go to the Little Flower Hall for breakfast.

Cui Yongzhong thought that he would not be filial piety in front of his mother for several years, and his heart was sour, not only did he serve hot porridge to Mrs. Cui himself, but he also kept serving vegetables to his mother.

The people who ate this meal were more emotional, more gratified, and more hopeful.

After the farewell meal was finished, before the second master Cui spoke, Mrs. Cui waved her hand and said: "Needless to say, you just need to remember that at home, there is your mother who is looking forward to the safe return of your father and daughter." ”

I have to say that Mrs. Cui does understand people's hearts, and in a word, she brought the second master Cui to tears.

After repeated promises, he would return as soon as possible, and he would be filial to his mother's knees, so he said goodbye and went to the Shili Pavilion in the south of the city.

Cui Yongzhong and Cao Mu's families left Beijing together, and the two elder brothers, Ming Anhou and Master Cui, although they could not be sent to Chongjin, which was a hundred miles away, but they personally sent their younger brothers to Shili Pavilion in the south of the city.

There are fifty or sixty relatives and friends who came to Shili Pavilion to practice, but fortunately, Cao Mu has already arranged it, and the tents for the women, the seats and benches for the men, and the tea and snacks are all available.

At this time, everyone gathered together, it was really lively, this was the farewell place to go south, in addition to the two of them, there were also a few.

For a while, the ten-mile pavilion was square and round, and there were crowds of farewell people everywhere, and this liveliness was not lost compared to the most prosperous Gulou Fourth Street in the capital.

Cui Yongxin took his own children and nephews, and Cao Ze led Cao Mu and everyone, shuttling between relatives and friends who came to see him off with a smile.

Everyone was talking affectionately, and they listened to the commotion in front of them, and everyone looked up curiously.

I saw about 30 people in the distance, riding high-headed horses, galloping with great momentum. (To be continued......)
