Chapter 49: The Visit
Thinking that they were all her own sisters, Cui Wanqing didn't deliberately change her clothes again, so she wore the new light blue flower-sprinkled placket skirt on her body, took a pink hibiscus shawl and put it on her arm, and went out to the guest room.
Seeing that Cui Wanqing came quickly, and did not hold a shelf to make herself wait for a long time, Cui Wanying's originally impatient face was also much better, picking at the corners of her eyes, looking like she knew you.
After looking at Cui Wanqing for a while, she thought that Cui Changjian had taken a step ahead to greet her, and then looked at the ice jade Pisces on the skirt.
She was smiling, softly bent her knees to greet the two sisters, and did not sit on the main seat, signaling Brother Li to move a brocade pestle over and sit next to Cui Wanhua.
"Eldest sister, fourth sister, this is a good tea that the old lady appreciated before the child, you can also taste it, do you still taste it?" Cui Wanqing entertained her sisters diligently, looking at the meaning of the master's house.
Cui Wanhua nodded with a smile, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "The ninth sister has lived with my grandmother for these days, and she is really very beneficial, she treats people and things very well, and she is willing to be close to her sisters. ”
"Over there, it's all gifts that the big sister and I specially prepared for you, there are several rare things in them, don't be wrong, if you give it to someone else, it's a pity." Cui Wanying's words are strange and choking.
It's supposed to be a good thing, but how can it come out of her mouth, and it's not a taste?
Cui Wanqing really felt a little helpless about her fourth sister who didn't keep her mouth shut, for such a sister, it was too heavy to take it lightly, and it was not easy to grasp the heat.
It's no wonder that the third brother worries about her, there is such an unconscious sister-in-law, and she has to help with the aftermath at all times.
She was also lazy to worry about Cui Wanying, stood up and bowed her knees to thank her, and said happily: "The words of the fourth sister, the younger sister has remembered it, in fact, the gifts are rare or not, and they are still secondary, mainly because the friendship between you and the eldest sister to the younger sister is much more precious than any rare treasure." ”
Cui Wanhua looked at the ninth sister with a sincere expression, and then at the sister who was full of deservedness, and sighed: "If Ying'er can have half the calmness of the ninth sister, I don't know how much worry I have to save, they are all children who beat up and have no mother, Ying'er is too protected by me and my brother, and she has no scheming at all, she really can't compare with the children who have lived in hardship since childhood." ”
She came over with Cui Wanying today, and it was also a decision after discussing with her brother, wanting to have a good relationship with this sister-in-law who was already in front of her grandmother and was no longer ignored.
After all, he has two months, and he will enter the palace to be selected, although his brother is talented, he can't keep running to the backyard, he lives in the outer courtyard, and the news is one step slower than that in the inner courtyard.
And because her sister's vision is too high, her family affairs have not been decided.
Speaking of which, I also blamed myself, I was worried that I had entered the palace, and my sister who had no heart would inevitably be cleaned up by her mother-in-law, so I was dizzy for a while, and I believed in those gossip, and I really thought that the Guogong Mansion came to ask for marriage.
If my sister can really marry into the Guogong Mansion, then I can enter the palace with confidence, but it turned out to be a joke!
The mother-in-law didn't say anything, so she easily put her sisters together, didn't she just see it, and she was a little anxious about her sister's family affairs?
After that incident, Cui Wanhua was even more vigilant against her mother-in-law in her heart, she was still at home, so she acted like this, so if she really entered the palace in the future, wouldn't her mother-in-law have to clean up Cui Wanying's misery?
Now, Cui Wanhua naturally wants to learn a lesson, she doesn't expect her mother to do a good job for her sister Zhang Luo, let alone hope for her father, but just told her brother and uncle and aunt, not to seek family background, only character, and to find a gentle temper.
Otherwise, she was really afraid of Cui Wanying, and she wouldn't be able to get along with others.
Cui Wanqing now has the blue eyes of the old lady and is left in Songcui Courtyard to live, although she has only been left for more than half a year, but it is enough.
She thought to her brother, so she asked Cui Wanqing to make an internal response to her sister, at least she had an arm by the side of the old lady and could spread the news.
If the grandmother says goodbye to Cui Wanying, the old lady is a checkpoint that must be passed here, if she gets the news as soon as possible, the brother in the outer courtyard will be able to deal with it, right?
Originally, Cui Wanhua and Cui Changjian also had people in Songcui Courtyard, but since the last time there was a little maid seller, Mrs. Cui has combed her yard from the inside out.
Now that the people who don't say that they are themselves and their brothers are gone, even the eyeliner placed by the second lady Cui, and even the eldest lady and the third lady have all been replaced.
Thinking about it, only Cui Wanqing is the best candidate to form an alliance with his family at the moment.
In order for this trip to be smooth, Cui Wanhua at least talked to Cui Wanying in private for a few days, and this pleasant thing was said, and this powerful warning was also said, anyway, it was both soft and hard, just to let her sister settle down and not make a mess for herself.
Cui Changjian felt sorry for his eldest sister, and when he saw that the fourth sister was pouting and angry, he simply took the initiative to share the worries and solve problems for the eldest sister, met Cui Wanqing in advance, begged for favors in private, gave heavy gifts, and said hello.
To tell the truth, Cui Wanqing still listens to and envies Cui Wanying, although this fourth sister is unreliable, but she can't bear the good life of others, but she has her brother and sister to straighten out everything for her, this person is really incomparable.
I was reborn by myself, tried my best, and tossed cautiously for more than half a year, so I had the current situation, what is not all on my own? Who else would take the initiative to care for themselves so much?
Fortunately, Cui Wanqing is not really a ten-year-old child, she will not really compare with Cui Wanying, in fact, in her heart now, she thinks very simply, that is, she is not happy by her mother-in-law, and the eldest sister and the fourth sister are now torn with their mother-in-law.
Now that I live on the old lady's side, I can say a few words in front of the old man, the eldest sister is scheming and smart, how can she not see through this?
Thinking about it this way, everyone is mutually beneficial, and they can all get benefits, so why can't they cooperate?
"Ninth sister, how many times did you go to the Ming'an Hou Mansion to congratulate Mrs. Lao Hou on her birthday, how about it, it's all smooth, right?" Cui Wanhua asked with a smile.
Cui Wanqing said with a smile: "It's good, my grandmother's birthday, it's very lively, and I invited the troupe to sing, my sister is impatient to watch those, but there is a cousin who likes it very much, so she can only sit patiently." ”
Cui Wanying is a person who likes to listen to dramas, and when she heard this, she immediately stopped frowning and impatient, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "The troupe you invited?" Do you know the name? ”
How could Cui Wanqing not know, what is the name of this troupe?
The cousin she just talked about was Cao Ying, the second lady of the Cao family, Cui Wanqing wanted to go out for a walk at that time, but she accidentally saw Cao Ying listening to the play, and her expression was very fascinated.
Cui Wanqing sat patiently for a while, and observed carefully, but saw that the eyes of this second cousin had never left Huang Ying'er's left and right.
She doesn't like to listen to dramas and doesn't understand these things, but there is a little jack-of-all-trades sitting next to her.
Master Cao San loves to listen to operas the most, and he has an opera troupe at home, as his palm beads, Cao Tang also understands these things.
"That Danjiao's stage name is Huang Ying'er, she is the first Hua Dan in the capital, and his opera troupe is called 'Qingfuchun', and the queen mother in the palace has been noisy into the palace. You see that Huang Ying'er is beautiful enough, right? But after taking off the costume, he is a handsome and chic young man, my father, that is, your third uncle, loves to listen to his plays, please go home many times. Cao Tang's tone of voice was casual, and he looked down on it in his bones.
But Cui Wanqing feels that this is the attitude that should be taken towards a play, and Cao Ying's obsession is absolutely abnormal!
"'Qingfuchun', it seems to be called this name." Cui Wanqing shook her head, not thinking about the connection between the second cousin and the actor Huang Ying'er for the time being.
Cui Wanying immediately explained to Cui Wanqing: "That's the best troupe in Beijing, the pillar is called Huang Ying'er, who sings Hua Dan, and looks very beautiful, so they have to book in advance to invite their troupe to sing." ”
"It's not a prestigious family, and people don't want to go!"
Cui Wanqing didn't understand a little, how could one or two of them look up to this Huang Ying'er like this? Isn't it just a troupe? Don't you have to call him to come? Why is it so pretentious?
These two obviously don't have a common topic that can be talked about together, looking at Cui Wanqing's ignorant look, Cui Wanhua asked helplessly: "Ying'er, didn't you just say that you want to give your grandmother a freshly embroidered sachet?" You go over first, I'll say a few words to the ninth sister and come. ”
Cui Wanying finally found a topic of interest, but the ninth sister was stupid and didn't know anything, she really watched Qingfuchun's good show in vain.
I felt very bored in my heart, and after listening to my sister's words to let her go first, it was as if she had received a pardon, stood up and waved her hand to Cui Wanqing with a smile, "Ninth sister, then you talk to your eldest sister first, and I will go to my grandmother's room first, fourth sister." ”
turned around and saluted his sister, and walked away, regardless of the face of the master's family, this completely casual mentality is really rare in the eldest lady of the big family.
Seeing her go out, the two people in the room were all relieved.
Cui Wanhua brought Cui Wanying over, that is, she wanted her to show up in front of Cui Wanqing, so that she could make a gesture of sisterhood and harmony.
When it's time to talk about business, it's bad to keep her, it's better to send her away as soon as possible, and some things have to be done with Cui Wanying's back.
If you let this violent temper know that she and her brother bowed down to Cui Wanqing like this for her, they wouldn't know what kind of moth they were going to make! R1152
