Chapter 219: Worry
It's no wonder that Old Madam Cui is suspicious, but the gap between Qi Xuanhui and Cui Wanqing is really a bit big.
Although it is said that it is a low marriage and a high marriage, there is a limit to the word high and low, once this degree is passed, the in-laws formed must be unequal, and the young husband and wife will not be so harmonious.
In Mrs. Cui's opinion, her own nine girls, her temperament and temperament are not picky, but after all, she is a little worse in appearance, she is a person who has been in the back house all her life, how can she not know the truth that men love color?
The good prince is not a royal child with mediocre qualifications and is not welcomed, this is not only young, but he has made such great achievements with the prince Rui, and he is as handsome as the fairy.
Mrs. Cui, who was not carried away by this good family business, asked herself, her granddaughter is really not good enough to make such an outstanding prince have to marry.
In this way, she couldn't help but think a little crookedly, "Could it be that the good prince is so careful that he looks down on our family and the Cao family?" ”
"He married the Nine Girls through marriage, but secretly he planned to pull the two of us on his ship?"
Since the royal family has no family affection, this is not only a truthful statement, but the men of the royal family have never been able to control their yearning for that throne.
The more outstanding,. The more so!
As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Cui's heart was beating like a pins and needles, and the Cui family's east and west mansions had only a few good days?
Is this not peaceful?
I think at the beginning, when the prince was vying for the throne. The boss of his own family just got closer to the prince, so Mrs. Cui invited people to the ancestral hall and persuaded her hard.
It's easy to persuade the eldest son to change his mind and find another way, but now it's okay, if the good prince really has those thoughts that shouldn't be there, isn't that going to drag these two families to die together?!
The current emperor is just a young man, not only his body is strong, but his wrists are also strong and tight, and he is a true dragon son of justice. The good king is a brother. But when such a thought is born, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
The more Mrs. Cui thought about it, the more frightened she became, her face turned pale, and even cold sweat came out.
Mrs. Cao Laohou on the opposite side looked at her like this. I couldn't help but be surprised. "Oops. Old sister, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, it's really not that complicated. Speaking of which, it is also a destiny destined by God. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly."
Mrs. Cao Laohou is different from Mrs. Cui, she has long let go of her two sons, but if she wants to know something, then she can't ask.
When it comes to her granddaughter, how can she not care?
Therefore, as soon as she got the letter, she invited Cao Mu over and asked carefully, Cao Mu felt deeply guilty about her wife because of Cao Yunxiu's matter.
Seeing that she was anxious to know, she couldn't bear to continue to hide it, so she finally withdrew from everyone and told her mother everything about it.
The matter of her granddaughter's unexpected relationship with King Liang, Mrs. Cao Laohou felt that it was destined by God, otherwise why were there so many young ladies and sons in Fengyun Mountain that night, but only King Liang and Qing girl ran into the depths of the forest?
A pair of children, when life and death depend on each other, are naturally different, haven't you heard of any friends in distress, life-saving grace and the like?
Thinking about these two children, the same is true.
When Cao Mu told Mrs. Cao Laohou at that time, he told him that these things must not be leaked out, lest the Queen Mother and her old man know about it and will not love Cui Wanqing.
But at this moment, seeing that the old sister was worried about her granddaughter, her face changed, where could she hide it?
I had to let my henchmen guard the door, and whispered everything I knew to Mrs. Cui, and at the end, Mrs. Cao Laohou sighed, "Actually, when I heard the third child of our family say this, I already understood in my heart, you think, at that critical juncture of life and death, all the feelings have been stimulated, and it can be regarded as seeing the truth in adversity." ”
"The king of Renliang can chase the girl and chase her to Jiangnan, it is obvious that he is attentive, and just now, do you think he really let you taste snacks?"
"That's because the prince saw that your eyes were not good, so he found an excuse to get closer, so that you can see clearly and rest assured."
After hearing this, Mrs. Cui was greatly relieved, but she couldn't help but feel a little surprised in her heart, "Why is this kid Cao Mu so close to King Liang?" ”
"Do you know much about the two of them, or did Qing'er tell her third uncle?"
She will forget that Cui Wanqing came out at the beginning, but her third grandson Cui Changjian, if you want to say that she knows very well, this is the first person.
However, Mrs. Cui was very satisfied with Qi Xuanhui being so considerate, and said with honorable emotion: "I didn't say that King Liang is bad, it's because I think he is too good, so I'm worried that our family is not worthy of others, and she will suffer in the future." ”
"Don't look at her as a concubine in the palace, but if King Liang has a favored concubine in the future, the threat will be much greater than that of ordinary aunts."
Speaking of which, Mrs. Cui is still worried that King Liang's love is too short, and once her granddaughter loses her grace, she will face a difficult situation.
"Hey, this kind of question, that lady can't face?"
"Just talking about you and me, who hasn't grinded it step by step from that time?"
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she couldn't help but nodded, this is true, the two of them were good when they were young, and if there was anything unhappy in their hearts, they would confide in each other, knowing that this old girl's life was not much better than her own.
"If you want me to say, our Qingya's mind is not a little bit elf, she knows it very well."
"You can see from the fact that she avenged Xiu'er that this child is not only an elf, but also not a soft one." Mrs. Cao Laohou is most proud of her granddaughter who personally avenged her daughter.
At the beginning, he was Cao, and the power of Cui and the two mansions. failed to find out the clue to Cao Yunxiu's cause of death, but this kid was careful, and from the clues at such a fixed point, he dug out a shocking conspiracy.
Cui Wanqing, who is so powerful, no matter what she says, will be able to move easily in the back house, even if she has no love, she will not lose the power in her hands.
As long as she holds the power of the steward of the palace in her hands, Cui Wanqing's life will not be too sad, even if she loses her husband's favor. But there will be biological children who need her care. I don't lose hope.
When Mrs. Cui heard this, her anxious heart finally eliminated some of her worries, and she thought about it and said, "It depends on the situation." The marriage won't drag on for long. I also have to carefully find a few decent wedding maids for the Qing girl. ”
"If you have the right one there. Send two of them too. ”
"Yes." Mrs. Cao Laohou had been preparing for a long time, but it was not easy to say this.
She knows very well that her old sister is not too big. So it's up to her to say this, so as not to have any suspicion between the two.
She said with a smile: "I will send people over in the past two days, and the deed of sale will be brought to Qing'er, these two children are also the sons of the Hou Mansion, and the father and mother are all in the house, so it is more worry-free." ”
The third day after receiving the marriage decree from the Queen Mother was the day when Cui Wanqing entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother.
Because she got the news early, the clothes and jewelry that Cui Wanqing was going to wear when she entered the palace were also selected early, Fang's mother was not at ease, so she did it herself, ironing it smoothly and neatly, without a trace of wrinkles.
And all kinds of jewelry hairpin rings inlaid with precious gems and emeralds are also lying quietly on the silver tray, waiting for the owner's luck.
Today, it is Shi's mother who skillfully personally operates, putting makeup on Cui Wanqing's sideburns, she is experienced and has a good vision, and in sufficient time, she dresses up her little master unhurriedly according to her own ideas.
Half an hour later, Mother Shi took a small step back, smiled and said to Cui Wanqing in the mirror: "Miss Nine, the slave maid has been taken care of, you can take a look at what you think is not suitable, and the slave maid will change it again." ”
Cui Wanqing smiled and smiled, but she was in the mirror of the beauty, Qiandailuo lightly described her eyebrows, her pink lips were moistened with potpourri cream, her face was covered with hosta powder, and her cheeks were painted with butterfly red, and she deserved the words delicate eyebrows and eyes.
She was dressed in a water-red ruyi moire waist-pinching satin, the lines of the dress were extremely well-proportioned and simple, only the embroidery on the stand-up collar was intricate and exquisite, which made her face look dignified.
There is a soft and light moon-white dyed long skirt underneath, and a blue palace silk is tied out like a willow waist, the color of this dress is festive, and it is not too eye-catching, even if it is a critical eye, it is difficult to find a mistake.
Mother Shi used to love Cui Wanqing's inky green silk very much, but today she put a lot of thought into it, and carefully pulled a flowing flying fairy bun.
The pearls and jade on the temples flickered, as if the starry sky at night was perched in Cui Wanqing's hair during the day.
Looking at such a brilliant self, Cui Wanqing couldn't help but cover her lips and smile, and her just right gentle demeanor looked more and more elegant and feminine.
It is inevitable that people will sigh that Miss Cui Jiu under the costume, although she is not as beautiful as Cui Wanyun, she also has a delicate beauty that she does not usually have.
In fact, Cui Wanqing's smile was laughing, "It turns out that it is not a bad thing to know the preferences of the Queen Mother and her old man." ”
"No matter how much I liked it before, I couldn't let people have a good face for me."
"But now, if I come back to my liking and do what I like, I won't still be unwelcome, right?"
But it turned out that the clothes and jewelry that Cui Wanqing was wearing now were all selected by her with words.
Whether it is the color of the clothes, the style, or the material and style of the jewelry, they are all selected according to the queen mother's old man's liking.
Empress Dowager Ciyuan is a famous family, and she has been endowed with the words gentle and dignified since she was a child, so her vision and hobbies have long been fixed.
Cui Wanqing is just gentle and dignified today, adding a little festivity, thinking that the Queen Mother is here to see the new daughter-in-law, and it will be more festive to her liking.
"It's good, hard work mother, when I come back from the palace today, I will be rewarded." Cui Wanqing stood up at this Shi's mother's hand, and let Yulan help her straighten out the cherry red tassels on her pressed skirt, and straighten the tender yellow hydrangea on her embroidered shoes.
After having breakfast unhurriedly, he got on the sedan chair at the gate of the courtyard surrounded by the maid and the mother-in-law, and went to Songcui Courtyard, so that he could enter the palace with the old lady to meet him.
The main house of Songcui Courtyard will also be very lively, except for the girls who got married, the rest of the young ladies are in the house, Grandma Cui and Grandma Cui San, they also brought their children.
There are three more elves and cute little babies, and Mrs. Cui's western room is also lively and tight for a while, and there is joyful laughter everywhere.
Seeing the rejuvenated Cui Wanqing enter the door, she bowed down to her Yingying with the help of Yulan, and the old lady Cui, who had already made up a lot of makeup, helped her granddaughter get up with a smile.
Seeing everyone congratulating Cui Wanqing, auspicious words flew all over the sky, Cui Wanqing's little face became more and more red and glamorous, and the old man's face was even more radiant, looking very spiritual.
Just kidding, their Cui family has a concubine, a princess, and this is not an ordinary face.
If it was said that when it came to Cui Mansion in the past, everyone in the world had to talk about their family's money, then the current Cui Mansion has really entered a famous family and officially become a member of it.
The ancestors of the Cui family have worked hard for several generations, and finally got what they wanted in the hands of Mrs. Cui, this kind of pride and pride, it really can't be bought with any amount of money.
She pulled Cui Wanqing to sit side by side with her on the couch, and said with a smile: "Good boy, grandmother is stained with your light this time, and you can meet the Queen Mother and her old man alone." ”
"To be honest, don't look at my grandmother, I enter the palace every year to kowtow to the Queen Mother and her old man, but because there are too many women, the position of our family is too backward, so your grandmother and I have never seen the Queen Mother's appearance clearly."
"Today is a long-cherished wish, and I have to see it clearly in a while."
The old lady's words were interesting, and everyone in the house was amused by her, and Mrs. Cui followed her words and said: "Speaking of which, the daughter-in-law inherited the grace of the queen mother and her old man, and was summoned to meet once after the eldest lord was the left minister." ”
"But the daughter-in-law is too nervous, lest she will not agree with the Queen Mother's intentions, and she has only cared about these, where can she still take care of the appearance of the Queen Mother and her old man?"
Mrs. Cui's words made people laugh more and more, and Cui Wanqing couldn't help but be infected by this joyful atmosphere, and the apprehension in her heart was indeed alleviated.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said this, just to let Cui Wanqing relax and not be too nervous.
Both of them are from the past, and knowing that this daughter-in-law went to see her mother-in-law, it was really the hardest thing.
If you are too nervous and behave, and lose your posture in front of your future mother-in-law, it will be bad.
The first impression is very important, and both Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui hope that Cui Wanqing can show her best state to meet this challenge. (To be continued.) )
