Chapter 80: Travel
After Cui Wanqing stood up, she took a few steps in front of Cao Mu with small steps, and made a blessing in a proper manner.
Apologetically: "It's all Qing'er's bad, which makes the third uncle and Brother Qi Shi worried, it's really good to be sorry." ”
"I also ask the third uncle and Brother Qi Shi to be considerate, it's really Qing'er who is too worried about her father, and she thinks wildly, so she has some misunderstandings."
"Just now, my father personally solved the misunderstanding, and Qing'er lost his temper when he was excited"
Cao Mu was very embarrassed when she saw her red face, how could she bear it?
Hurriedly smiled and played a round for his nephew's daughter, "Haha, okay, all the people standing in this room are their own people, I am your uncle, I only feel sorry for you, where can I be impatient?" ”
"As for Qi Gongzi, he is a friend of your brother, and he is a gentle and amiable person, and he will not look down on you because of this, good boy, and peace of mind."
Qi Xuanhui saw that what he should say was all finished by Cao Mu in one breath, and he seemed to just need to nod with a smile, and suddenly felt bored.
Cao Mu is so big-packed, which is what it means to make him not talk to Cui Wanqing anymore, Qi Xuanhui takes advantage of the situation, which is the best response.
However, the good prince of the family is not afraid of Cao Mu's vigilant eyes, and he also asked softly: "Shimei cried a lot just now, if you feel uncomfortable there, just say, let's ask the doctor to come and see, don't hold on." ”
Cui Wanqing listened to Qi Xuanhui's polite words, and her heart was also sweet, for no other reason. It's just because this polite remark came from Qi Xuanhui's mouth.
To put it bluntly, as long as this person says, no matter what he says, it is good.
With a shy smile, she bent her knees, "Qing'er is fine, probably because she thought too much before, and she was depressed in her heart, and she cried this time." Instead, it was relieved. I feel refreshed. ”
"It's so embarrassing to have been delayed for so long for the sake of our father and daughter."
"Father, third uncle. Brother Qi Shi. Why don't we go back here? ”
Cao Mu took a look. Cui Yongzhong, who looked at Cui Wanqing with a smile, who only had his daughter in his eyes at the moment, didn't notice Qi Xuanhui's behavior at all. It's too attentive to say it's an abnormality.
He endured his anger and glanced at Qi Xuanhui again, this one was even more amazing, he didn't even look at him, with an expression of nothing, and fanned himself contentedly.
Cao Mu's heart suddenly became a little uncontrollable, and he said very breathlessly, "You kid, let your uncle say something good about you?" ”
"Anyway, this body and bones are your own, if you work hard and break your good body, no one will suffer for you."
What he said was not good, faintly displeased, but the meaning of love was overflowing.
Cui Wanqing's eyes swirled between her unhappy uncle and Qi Xuanhui, who was calm and relaxed, as if she understood something.
couldn't help but smile slightly, took a few steps forward, pulled Cao Mu's sleeve, and said in a rare coquettish manner: "If Qing'er's body is not good, others will take care of me, Qing'er doesn't know." ”
"But Qing'er knows that you will not ignore it, third uncle, if you are really sick, you don't know what to do in a hurry."
This sentence put Cao Mu said, seeing his teeth and not seeing his mouth, he pointed at his niece and daughter, and said with a smile: "You kid, what are you not good at learning?" I want to learn this trick from your cousin."
Cao Tang happily came up, took Cui Wanqing's arm, and said proudly: "What's wrong with learning this trick?" That's what works best for you. ”
"Look, whose smiling eyes are almost gone?"
Cao Muden was a little overwhelmed by his daughter, and he was about to beat him when he raised his hand, Cao Tang hurriedly hid behind Cui Wanqing and exclaimed: "Cousin save me, your uncle is going to beat me again!" ”
Cui Wanqing smiled and protected Cao Tang behind her, and said softly: "Third uncle is angry, Tang'er is still young, in fact, she is close to you, you should be happy, why do you still fight?" ”
Cui Yongzhong was also very happy to see the three of them so close, he curled the corners of his mouth, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, don't trouble your third uncle anymore." ”
"Third brother, let's go back, let's see you here tomorrow morning, and then go out after fasting."
He looked at Cao Mu's jaw and agreed, and instructed Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang, "Qing'er and Tang'er wear thick-soled embroidered shoes and hoods, in case the sun is big at noon, they can also cover up, and other items should be kept as simple as possible to avoid burden." ”
After that, Cui Yongzhong instinctively wanted to ask Qi Xuanhui to go first, but after thinking about it, "No, this current identity, that is my junior, how can there be a reason for the juniors to walk in front of the elders?" ”
His smile remained the same, but his words became, "Master Qi, it's getting late, don't be greedy for the scenery, don't be too far away from us brothers." ”
Qi Xuanhui responded with his fists, and he looked at it in a decent manner, without losing his measure, since he already knew, Cui Yongzhong automatically talked to Cui Wanqing.
As long as Cui Wanqing's heart is comfortable, his heart will also be comfortable, so how can he be a little slack in the face of such an important person?
Cui Yongzhong was really a little flattered by his attitude, and felt that this courtesy was thoughtful and polite to people, and there was no sense of arrogance and domineering at all.
A good feeling suddenly arose in his heart, and he nodded with a smile, even if he was ahead, Cao Mu was second, Qi Xuanhui said goodbye to Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang.
Cui Wanqing took the opportunity to give him a reassuring look, and said with a smile: "Ming'er, let's travel, I will let the maids around me borrow the stove fire, Brother Qi Shi has any snacks you want to eat, you might as well say two things, and by the way, we will make them together." ”
Qi Xuanhui's mind turned sharply, and with bright eyes, he looked at Cui Wanqing and said, "If it's not troublesome, let's make some wishful cakes." ”
Cui Wanqing's heart trembled when she heard this, and it was easy to pretend that nothing happened, and said with a chuckle: "No trouble, no trouble." ”
Don't you know, Ruyi cake has another name, called 'plaice Ruyi cake', which is a kind of auspicious snack necessary for weddings, and Qi Xuanhui has always disliked being too sweet and greasy. I don't like to eat at all!
It's just borrowing this name again to provoke people.
Cui Wanqing swept over the maids who were waiting beside her with a weak heart, and saw that these people were all ordinary looks, and no one felt that there was anything wrong, so she couldn't help but be secretly happy.
There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang got up early, wore a middle coat of Qianxue yarn, half an arm of Yongzhou silver silk, and tied a phoenix skirt with clouds and mist silk.
The sisters wore the same style of fabric. It's just that the color and embroidery are different.
Cao Tang is young. The choice is a bright beauty red, the skirt is embroidered with her favorite peony flowers, the sideburns are hairpinned with red gold and beaded peony steps, and the ears are decorated with beaded peony flower earrings. The noble demeanor that I saw for the first time with Cui Wanqing. Another vivid reproduction.
Cui Wanqing doesn't like to be too flamboyant. I chose the delicate goose yellow, embroidered flowers, and it was also a simple green calyx plum. On the sideburns, a white jade inlaid treasure plum blossom swayed.
There is a white jade inlaid treasure plum blossom pressure skirt around her waist, and a pair of long broken white jade bead tassel earrings make her appear more and more slender, like a beautiful and arrogant white swan.
After the sisters put on their makeup, they wore thick-soled embroidered shoes and a plain white silk hood as Cui Yongzhong instructed, and they were about to go out to the dining hall.
Because Cao Mu said yesterday, when you go out today, it is best to follow the car lightly, and the more people and carriages you bring, the more time you waste outside.
In this way, Cui Wanqing only brought Fang's mother, Yulan and Jinling sisters, and Cao Tang had one less person than her, so she brought Xu's mother, Jade and Juan'er.
The only one left is Mama Shi, who is capable, and she takes the rest of the maids to stay in the guest room.
When she came to the gate of the dining hall, Mother Xu stepped forward to report the name of Master Cao San to the monk who knew the guest, and saw that the boundary she was led to was still the private room last night.
I think it was Cao Mu who booked it yesterday and this morning, and only Cao Mu would do it.
The two sisters entered the house hand in hand, and looked around, okay, it was still the same screen, still separating the two sides of the house, but it was empty, and no one had come yet, I really didn't expect that the two of them still arrived early.
Cui Wanqing waved her hand and said, "Let the tourmaline bring up the dim sum, cold dishes, hot dishes, porridge and hot soup first, and they will be served when the old man arrives." ”
Cao Tang is a greedy young lady, Mrs. Cao Laohou is indispensable to her own heart and liver, with a big girl who is proficient in cooking, no, tourmaline is such an existence.
Usually I can't show her, I just see that Jade is capable, but this will see the benefits of this maid.
When they were young, Cui Yongzhong and his brothers accompanied Qi Xuanhui into the door, Cui Wanqing took Cao Tang forward to salute, and asked with a smile: "Why is my father and third uncle still behind our sisters today?" ”
Cao Tang covered his mouth and smiled, "Hey, cousin Qing, do you still need to ask?" It must be that my father got up late, and the third uncle and Brother Qi Shi were waiting for him, so they were late. ”
Cao Mu glanced at her angrily, and said angrily: "Nonsense, how can a father be a person who can't distinguish between the important and the important?" It was Master Puguang, who heard that we were going out today, so he asked someone to invite us to come and see us. ”
"It turns out that the master lent his little disciple, Master Guangwen, to us as a guide, which can be regarded as a little bit of the friendship of the landlord."
"Master is gracious, you and your third uncle and I can't say something thanks? If you delay in these three or two, will it be too late? ”
Cui Yongzhong nodded and agreed: "Your father is telling the truth, Tang'er, let's go in with your cousin, let's hurry up and use our morning fast, and we can go out." ”
Cui Wanqing glanced at the door and asked curiously, "Father, why didn't Master Guangwen come to use the morning fast?" ”
Cui Yongzhong said gently: "We invited it, but Master Guangwen refused to come, so he had dinner in the Lent Hall and met with us at the door for a while." ”
"That's why my father asked you to take your cousin and hurry in to eat, it's not good to keep people waiting for a long time."
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly sat down, but fortunately, Cui Wanqing took care of it properly, which was complete, which saved a lot of time.
Just when everyone was immersed in eating, Qi Xuanhui looked at the plate of ruyi cake in front of him, and smiled bitterly, who made him say that he loved to eat?
Even if he only loves the name of the dim sum and doesn't love the sweetness of the dim sum itself, but everyone is kind to you and put it in front of you, no matter how you say it, you have to eat a piece to express your joy, right?
Unexpectedly, when the dim sum arrived in the mouth, it was not as sweet as expected, but delicate with a little lotus fragrance, which was lighter than the original taste and much better in taste.
Needless to say, I also know that Cui Wanqing must have changed the recipe for him personally, Qi Xuanhui's heart was soft, and with a sigh of satisfaction, he ate all this small plate and six pieces of dim sum.
Well, even if it's not too sweet, but things like pastries, you can taste it lightly, and if you really want this to be a staple food, you really can't resist it.
Cao Mu is the most annoying sweet-toothed, and he can't help but feel a little tired of it, "It's a good old man, you can't eat meat, just drink a lot of wine, why do you still like this kind of girl's chirping food, it's really"
How did Qi Xuanhui know that if he didn't pay attention, he would dislike Cao Mu again?
He looked at Cao Mu's eyes that fell on him from time to time, and he thought that he had eaten the Ruyi cake by himself, so that Cao Mu didn't eat a piece.
couldn't help but feel sorry, raised his hand and took a piece of osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, put it on the plate in front of Cao Mu, and said embarrassedly: "Third Uncle Cao, the Ruyi cake is gone, you might as well try the osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, this one tastes good." ”
Cao Mu looked at the extra dessert on the plate, and immediately became depressed, if you want to eat it, this is a pastry that the prince personally sandwiched, if you don't eat it, you won't give the prince face.
I had to look at this beautiful little thing in a tangled way, swallowed my saliva, raised the chopstick, and planned to kill it in one gulp, but it was a big deal to drink tea and rush down.
At this moment, a pair of bamboo chopsticks stretched out next to him, and he took away the steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar, and I heard Cui Yongzhong smile and say, "The third brother doesn't eat osmanthus, I'll use it for him." ”
This threw the chestnut cake in his mouth and solved it in a hurry.
Qi Xuanhui looked at it, and immediately said apologetically to Cao Muyan: "Third Uncle Cao, I'm sorry, I didn't know that you don't eat osmanthus." ”
Cao Mu gratefully glanced at Cui Yongzhong, who helped him solve the trouble, turned his face to Qi Xuanhui and said, "It's okay, it's okay, after all, there is little contact, I don't know if it's not strange." ”
A good breakfast ended in an eerie atmosphere.
Qi Xuanhui told Cao Mu last night that he would probably hide a few people in Hongruo Temple, and he explained all the causes and consequences, and why he came to this point.
So when they played today, the two of them also had an incidental thing, that is, they first had to find such a suitable place in Hongruo Temple, and then go to discuss with Master Ran.
Cao Mu and Cui Yongzhong have also stayed here for more than ten days, and there are three or four places that they feel are good.
But he can't make up his mind directly, he has to take Qi Xuanhui to see them one by one, and then let the prince of the family make the final decision, he should hide this legendary Yan Eighteen there. (To be continued......)
