Chapter 63: The Old Man (Subscription Requested)
"You don't say it, I forgot it, a few days ago, Jian'er asked for the jade that Master Ran personally opened, and you also know that Master Ran has rarely done these things in recent years, so this thing is extremely rare."
"You can take it to your aunt tomorrow, she is the most devout Buddhist, she must be happy to see it, with her to protect you, you can relax tomorrow's trip." Old Madam Cui's tone at this time was much more relaxed.
After all, his son is not really confused, but he is too utilitarian, and he is deceived by the people around him, as long as he can lead him back to the right path, with his own brother here, he will not be wrong in the future.
Cui Wanqing's original intention at that time was just to pave the way a little, and then have the opportunity to take it step by step in the future, and want to do her part, at the very least, you can't watch the Cui family fold on top of the heir.
She really didn't expect that because of a coincidence, these simple words reminded Mrs. Cui of the old things and reminded her of the old things over the years.
Don't look at the old lady, who usually doesn't care about things, but at the critical moment, this should have happened, and she was forced to turn a corner.
Now let's not talk about whether the Cui family has chosen the right person or whether they will choose the right person on the issue of standing in line, at least from a neutral position, even if the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will not take the Cui family first and grab the Cui family's pigtails
Cui Wanqing returned to her room, and before she had time to clean her hands, she began to write a letter of worship to Ming Anhou, and listened to Brother Li's crisp words outside: "Miss Nine, Sister Yunxiang next to Miss Fifth is here, and the maid asked her to have tea in the small hall, do you think this will pass?" Or do you want her to wait? ”
"I'll come over here, you go over and talk to her first." Cui Wanqing knew that these were the two pieces of jewelry that she had named.
Thinking of the things in her heart in her previous life, she can belong to herself again in this life, and she really has a little emotion in her heart.
When she arrived at the small hall, Yun Xiang had already stood up from the brocade pestle and greeted Cui Wanqing with a smile on her face.
Looking at Yun Xiang, who had a round face and a kind smile in front of her, Cui Wanqing couldn't help but move in her heart.
In her previous life, this girl was quite heartfelt, but she was old, and before she could go out, she was matched by the housekeeper in the backyard.
At that time, he was angry that his mother-in-law refused to recognize her name again, and she didn't even bother to ask who she married, so she only gave three hundred taels of silver to settle it.
Now that I think about it, I really don't understand the world at all, and I can never exchange money and power for sincerity.
It seems that Yunxiang is a matchmaker, that is, a recent thing, Cui Wanqing stroked the tassel on Pisces, and already had an idea in her heart.
"Miss Nine, this is our fifth miss, found out overnight last night, the two pieces of jewelry you said, and these jewelry are placed in the same box, our fifth miss simply sent them to you, saying that if you care about it, you can stay, and if you don't like it, keep it for reward." Yun Xiang said, and put a box with tortoiseshell inlaid with nanmu on the desk next to Cui Wanqing.
Cui Wanqing looked at this familiar box, and her heart turned a thousand times, and for the first time, she was blind and generous to Cui Wanyun for holding other people's things, and there was no complaint.
There was something in it, and she didn't have to open it to see, she knew it completely.
She stroked the edge of the box with her hand, thinking that in her previous life, whenever she missed her mother, she would take out the jewelry in the box and look at it the same, wanting to draw the warmth that belonged to her mother from these cold objects.
Think about yourself after being reborn, although you have changed your skin, but you still have your mother who died early, "Isn't it that I was born with a life that was cared for and taken care of by my mother?" Cui Wanqing secretly sighed in her heart.
After a long time, she cleaned up her mood, turned her face and said to Yun Xiang: "Sister Yun Xiang sit, we are all acquaintances, so there is no need to be formal." ”
Yun Xiang smiled and sat on the side, listening to Cui Wanqing's next question.
"How old is Sister Yunxiang this year?"
"The maid is eighteen years old this year."
"Oh, I really can't see it, Sister Yunxiang's round face looks young, but it's in our house. Eighteen years old should be matched, Sister Yunxiang can be allowed out? Cui Wanqing opened a pair of big bright eyes and asked curiously.
Yun Xiang didn't think about anything else, smiled shyly, and replied honestly: "At the beginning of this year, the youngest son of the Cheng steward of the outer courtyard was promised, and the maid was about to be released in the moon." ”
Cui Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "This is really a coincidence, it seems that Yunxiang and Cheng are both destined for themselves." ”
She frowned slightly, and asked reluctantly, "Isn't that the time for the New Year, I won't be able to see you?" It's strange that I was reluctant, the fifth sister said that she didn't say it, will she let you come back in the future? ”
Yun Xiang shook her head gently, since she hit her own young lady last year, she was worried about it, and after she woke up, she was not very close to herself and Mei Xiang, but she was willing to call a few little maids to marry herself, and the reward was also rich, but she didn't mention that she couldn't come back in the future.
When Cui Wanqing heard this, she was happy in her heart, Cui Wanyun didn't want to let her heartfelt servant go, so don't blame yourself for digging the foot of the wall.
She stretched out her hand to open the box beside her, and took two hairpin rings with ease, which were valuable but not eye-catching, walked to Yunxiang with a smile and put them in her hand, "These two hairpin rings will be pressed for my sister first, and when your good days come, then someone will send a congratulatory gift." ”
Yun Xiang looked at the objects in his hand, the same red gold bracelet inlaid with jade, the same gold beads string lantern earrings, this is worth a lot of money.
She was flattered and said, "This is too precious, how dare the maid accept it?" This is specially sent to you by our fifth miss, how can I take it? ”
Cui Wanqing said with a smile: "Since the fifth sister gave it to me, it is mine, I am willing to give it to my sister, you just have to take it, besides, I didn't give it to you for nothing." ”
Yun Xiang was stunned when she heard this, looked at Cui Wanqing, who tilted her head slightly and smiled harmlessly, and thought to herself: "Is this to let me do dark chess?" This can't be done, although the young lady is light on me, but I can't do things that betray the master. ”
Thinking of this, she made up her mind that she couldn't ask for these two things.
In fact, Yun Xiang's expression changed, and she was very happy to see that Yun Xiang was not bought by herself, and she was even more unwilling to betray Cui Wanyun.
"Don't think about it, I'm going back to Xifu in the spring of next year, the yard is getting bigger, and there are more people needed, Mother Fang is my grandmother, and there is one less housekeeper mother by my side, if you don't think our yard is quiet, then come and be my companion."
This is a good thing for pie in the sky, although Yun Xiang felt that this thing was very weird in her heart, but she still couldn't resist the huge temptation of her mother, so she nodded in confusion.
Cui Wanqing's idea is actually quite simple, when she returns to Xifu next year, the old lady will not give herself a useful mother again, rather than waiting for the second lady Cui to take the opportunity to insert chess pieces to come in, it is better to find someone who knew in her previous life to serve by her side.
She smiled and went back to her boudoir, cleaned her hands, and began to write a greeting to her uncle and grandmother seriously, in fact, one copy was enough, but Cui Wanqing didn't bother to write a double copy, probably because she was in a good mood, right?
Mrs. Cui successfully led her eldest son back to the right path, and her attitude towards Cui Wanqing became more and more loving.
So, when Cui Wanqing went to her uncle's house again, she just packed a cart of large bags and small bags of gifts.
Although Cui Wanqing didn't know her grandmother's thoughts, she was not surprised by the changes, and thanked Mrs. Cui happily, so she took Fang's mother and Yulan to visit the Ming'an Hou Mansion for the second time.
This time I made a special trip to thank my uncle, so she was taken to the study in the outer courtyard by Orange Xiang, who had been waiting for a long time at the second door.
This time, Ming Anhou had been waiting in the East Wing for a long time, but Master Cao San was not there. Cui Wanqing smiled and gave a big gift to her uncle.
Ming Anhou didn't stop her, waved his hand to Orange Xiang, helped Miss Biao up, and sat down on the official hat chair.
"Originally, I thought that it would take you three or five days to come, but I really didn't expect your post to be delivered so quickly." Ming Anhou said with a smile.
This person is wearing a blue regular dress today, but the front and back of the chest, and both shoulders are embroidered with gold thread pythons, and the bun on his head is only a simple wooden hairpin, without a crown, plus a gentle smile on his face, loving eyes.
Cui Wanqing felt that her eldest uncle looked much more amiable today than when they met for the first time.
"Qing'er went back to her uncle's words, grandmother and her old man knew that Qing'er could go to Jinghui Academy to study, and she was very happy, so she asked her nephew and daughter to write a letter of worship and send it that day, saying that it was difficult for you to think of such thoughtfulness, and Qing'er must come over to thank you in person."
"Qing'er specially prepared a few small gifts for the eldest uncle, and asked the uncle to smile." After speaking, he added embarrassedly: "Well, in fact, it was all prepared by my grandmother for Qing'er, Qing'er can't take out such a valuable object, uncle, don't mind." ”
When Ming Anhou heard this, his heart was sour, this nephew's daughter not only looks like the third sister is cool, but even this honest temperament is like a full ten.
He said softly: "As long as it is sent by Qing'er, whether it is worth it or not, my uncle likes it, next time don't toss it like this, just a few words you wrote carefully, or the needlework made by yourself, and my uncle was very happy when he saw it." ”
"However, now you can't be lazy anymore, when you enter the academy in early October, you must study hard, but you can't embarrass your uncle."
Cui Wanqing smiled when she heard this, and responded crisply, "Yes, Qing'er should work hard and live up to your uncle's wishes." ”
Ming Anhou stroked his three strands of beautiful beard, nodded with a smile, and asked softly: "Uncle heard that Qing'er is now living with Old Madam Cui, is this planning to stay for a long time?" ”R1152
