Chapter 20: Antecedents

In her previous life, Cui Wanqing accompanied Qi Xuanhui to the south of the Yangtze River, but the good prince didn't let her swim in the mountains and rivers, and she came to have fun.

It's not a disguise with a beauty to confuse the public.

At that time, Cui Wanqing was already in the backyard of the Liangwang Mansion, under the baptism of blood and conspiracy, from a young lady of a family who did not know the world and was reckless and vain.

has become a backyard housewife who is good at calculation and is used to acting, and Cui Wanqing is far more capable and capable than when she was in the boudoir.

Sometimes Cui Wanqing even thinks, "If I had such ability, how could I have ended up being calculated by my stepmother and sent to the palace to be a concubine?" ”

She would have such an idea, in fact, it is really not surprising, Qi Xuanhui did give her a lot, but he also took a lot.

Under the guidance of Qi Xuanhui, intentionally or unintentionally, Cui Wanqing even settled the noble Princess Liang, and of course, in the backyard of this Liang Wangfu, she has the highest number of paragraphs.

If it weren't for Cui Wanqing's own competitiveness, it would not be easy to stand out among dozens of concubines just by relying on her empty and beautiful face.

From this point, it can be seen that Cui Wanqing had her shortcomings in her previous life, but she also had her advantages.

She is very adaptable, and she understands the survival of the fittest, knowing that among the two biggest masters of the Liangwang Mansion, the heroine can't tolerate her at all.

Cui Wanqing's eyes immediately lit up, and she hugged Qi Xuanhui's big tree with all her heart, which was really wholeheartedly.

It can be said that at that time, what she was thinking. It all revolves around the person Qi Xuanhui, and this good prince is the vane of a qiΔ“ action.

As long as Qi Xuanhui can accommodate her place, protect her glory and wealth in this life, and stand tall above others, Cui Wanqing is willing to be the sharp blade in his hand!

So for this easy-to-use guy, Qi Xuanhui is still very willing to carry it with him.

And Cui Wanqing did not disappoint him, and played a very good role in promoting the backyard women of Jiangzhou dignitaries.

Because of her good vision and high acuity, she was entertained at various banquets. It's really from the attitude of the ladies of each family. Speak in a tone to get useful information.

Qi Xuanhui made a covenant with Xuanping Hou in name at that time, but behind his back, he did not pry into the corners of others.

Among those whom he succeeded in rebelling. There are a few of them. It's all first-hand information from Cui Wanqing. After understanding it, I decided to start.

Qi Xuanhui really wants to cooperate with Cui Wanqing again now. He really felt that his previous life was really a big fool who didn't understand the amorous feelings.

I don't know how to love my wife, but I spend all day and night, mixing with some big men, wasting such beautiful scenery in vain, and the most precious time!

This time, he made up his mind to set things right, let Cui Wanqing continue to exert her energy, and let the relationship between the two of them get better and better development in tacit cooperation.

Although the two of them have not yet decided on their names, but with the noble status of Cui Wanqing, the ninth lady of the Cui family, and the niece of Ming Anhou, if they want to do the things of their previous lives, they are still unhindered.

Qi Xuanhui also understood that Cui Changjian's non-cooperation, eighty percent of them were angry with themselves, and when he was talking about serious things, he got involved in private affairs.

The future third uncle must have felt that he was too distracted and didn't take the trip to Jiangnan seriously.

In Cui Changjian's heart, the matter of Jiangnan is not only a ladder for people to rise to prominence and become famous, but also a major event that benefits the country and the people, saves thousands of people in Jiangnan, and goes out of the fire!

Qi Xuanhui's casual attitude stimulated him and made him very dissatisfied, so he pretended to be confused and deliberately choked Qi Xuanhui.

If this matter is to be left to others, how can Qi Xuanhui tolerate it?

He has a habit of being his subordinate, first of all, he has to obey unconditionally, let alone talk back, even if he doubts the decisions above, it will not end well.

However, Cui Changjian is different from others, this is Qi Xuanhui's future uncle, and Cui Wanqing has always been very attentive to this third brother.

Therefore, he really couldn't be angry, Qi Xuanhui chuckled a few times helplessly, and he could only be reasonable.

"Changjian, do you know what a backyard strategy is?" He took a leisurely sip of purple needle silver leaves, raised his eyes and glanced at it, and asked Cui Changjian very casually.

Cui Changjian was thoughtful when he heard this, and soon nodded lightly, and then asked with a little understanding: "What does the prince mean, do you want the ninth sister to do this?" ”

Qi Xuanhui smiled and said nothing, but his eyes had already explained that Cui Changjian was right.

Even if he knew that Qi Xuanhui was waving the banner of 'my arrangements are all for big things', how could Cui Changjian not know that this person's selfishness is far greater than the public heart.

It's just that he pondered in his heart that his father and the third master of the Cao family are widowers, even if he brings one or two aunts with him to serve him.

But it is impossible to go beyond the etiquette and do the ridiculous thing of letting the aunt go to the lady of the main room.

No matter how it can be said that the atmosphere in the south is open, and the old pedants in the north are rigid, but in this kind of major matter related to the superiority and inferiority, the north and the south have always been surprisingly unified.

As long as you dare to defy the condemnation of the world, you must be prepared to be drowned by the spitting stars.

As for Cao Tang, this little girl who knows how willful she is messing around, Cui Changjian directly ignored it.

And Cui Wanqing, the ninth lady of the Cui family's West Mansion and a serious concubine, is definitely enough.

Although she is indeed young, this one is thoughtful, thoughtful, and sophisticated, and not much worse than some newlywed ladies.

It is indeed a good idea to let her wander around the backyard of the Jiangnan officials and take the opportunity to help them find a piece of information that they can use.

This is better than taking in a temporary buyer, a maid. It's a hundred times better to get some news that almost everyone knows.

As for the placement of chess pieces, this must be carried out, but it always takes time for this insertion of people to infiltrate.

It is still the fastest and most stable to let Cui Wanqing, a young lady from a family, go out.

However, for more than a month, my little ninth sister has been filial piety under her grandmother's knees, and she has not gone to Dachengtian Temple alone to incense.

"Oh, what this one means. It's for me to talk to the ninth sister. Be a microphone. ”

"Look at his careful thinking, it's almost on par with those backhouse women." Cui Changjian wanted to understand this, and couldn't help but say: "If the prince has something to say, you might as well say it directly, we are not outsiders." What's in your mind. Say as much as you can to your subordinates. ”

"If you speak in this tone in the future. It will take a lot of time for your subordinates to guess what you really mean, and when the time comes. Don't get down to business. ”

Qi Xuanhui glared at him angrily, and finally couldn't help complaining, "Changjian, you're not authentic!" ”

"You obviously don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you and the eldest lady of the Cai family, they are famous and well-known unmarried couples."

"And General Cai is the most open-minded and good person, and he never stops the two of you from seeing each other, but what does this king and Qing'er want, how can you let me tell you confidently?"

"You might as well think about it from the position of this king, Qing'er and I can be regarded as happy with each other, and it took a lot of twists and turns for the two of them to be together, which is really not easy."

"But look at it, the two of us have been for a long time now, and we haven't seen each other, we just want to die, and we can't see the person in our hearts."

"The days when you and I met and intersected were not short, and you can also see from the words and deeds of this king that this king is not the kind of person who is greedy for power."

"What you're doing now, isn't it also for the sake of the future of you and me?"

"Do the math, it won't be long before Master Cao San and they will set off for a long journey, before leaving, I want to see Shangqing'er, it's also human nature, why do you make you so dissatisfied?"

Cui Changjian saw that his words with dissatisfaction made this master complain so much, and he couldn't help but touch his nose in disgust, and felt in his heart that he was a little too much.

Quite embarrassed, Qi Xuanhui said: "Uh, this, it is indeed that the subordinates think too simply, do you mean, do you want to meet Qing'er at Master Ran?" ”

Qi Xuanhui saw that Cui Changjian's attitude had improved, and he looked absolutely cooperative, he felt that he was breathing smoothly, and he couldn't help but secretly feel comfortable, "Look, it's not only Brother Jiu and your uncle who are easy to get along with, my uncle is also a reasonable person!" ”

He couldn't help but say to Cui Changjian in his heart: "Actually, I thought about it and thought about it, and I felt that it was not the best time to find out about me and Qing'er now." ”

"Although this king has already reported to the saint, Qing'er is still young, and you haven't done anything impressive here."

"With the Cui family's current family background, to be honest, my mother will definitely not agree to let Qing'er be the concubine, and I will never let Qing'er be wronged, so let's wait for this matter to succeed and the pattern of the court has changed, and then we will discuss the matter of relatives."

"In this way, if the two of us want to meet in private, only in Master Ran's place, will we not provoke people's reverie, Qing'er and I are both in love with the master, and we are quite cared for by him."

"With Master Ran's open-mindedness, he will definitely choose to turn a blind eye and secretly help the two of us."

Qi Xuanhui is really thinking about Cui Wanqing, and most of the women of the Dajing Dynasty are fifteen years old, and most of them start to discuss marriage at the age of fourteen.

If he confessed to the Empress Dowager Ciyuan that he was going to marry Cui Wanqing, who was only twelve years old, then the Empress Dowager of the Dajing Dynasty would definitely not have a good impression of Cui Wanqing.

and then use things like family background to embarrass Cui Wanqing, which is simply a sure thing.

I don't want to think about it, what kind of lintel is Qi Xuanli's fiancΓ©e's house, the most powerful one in your Cui family is just a household book, so you want your daughter to be a concubine?

No way! But the side concubine can be considered, are you willing or not?

These terrible scenes, Qi Xuanhui imagined countless times when he was free, and every time he would be scared into a cold sweat.

Thinking about it, for Cui Wanqing to live well in the future, not to be looked down upon and gossip, and not to be wronged in the position of a side concubine, Qi Xuanhui is now forbearing, no matter how difficult it is, he will bear it.

After Cui Changjian listened to Qi Xuanhui's words, he suddenly lost the slightest impatience in his heart.

Don't say that this is too honest and hurtful, but this is the reality, and Cui Changjian himself understands it very well.

If you want your little ninth sister to marry Qi Xuanhui as a concubine openly, then you have to risk your life and do a good job in Jiangnan!

He reached out and picked up the colored lacquer Junzi Lotus purple sand teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for Qi Xuanhui and himself.

Seeing Qi Xuanhui with a shallow smile and a sip, Cui Changjian sighed: "It's hard to be a prince, it was indeed Changjian who was reckless just now, please bear with me." ”

Qi Xuanhui waved his hand, "Between you and me, there is no need to be so polite, if you don't treat me as your own, you won't just throw your face directly, and you choke me with those words, right?" ”

Cui Changjian couldn't help laughing, "Well, I think it's eleven today, so we might as well set the day of meeting on the fifteenth of this month, right?" ”

"Speaking of which, it's been more than half a year, and your subordinates have been busy, and they rarely do their filial piety under the knees of grandmother and father, so it's time to go to the temple and burn peace incense for them."

This means, not only did he promise to help Qi Xuanhui pass the word, but he even had to accompany Cui Wanqing in person.

Since this woman goes to the temple alone, it is indeed a taboo, and it is of course more appropriate to have her brother with her.

Qi Xuanhui thanked him, and indispensably admonished, "Your recent homework, but you have to be careful, since you have already boarded the door of Zhao Shanchang, you must listen carefully to the advice of others, he and Li Dashi are the same door, and they have a very close personal relationship, you have his approval, this imperial examination, you will be able to be named on the gold list." ”

The chief Zhao Shanchang that Qi Xuanhui said in his mouth was Zhao Ting, the chief of Zhengshan of Pengfei Academy, who loved the house and Wu, and valued Cui Changjian.

It is indispensable to worry about this heart, and pull the line in the middle, so that Cui Changjian becomes Zhao Ting's disciple, and this careful arrangement is all for the sake of this Enke that will be added soon.

When Cui Changjian heard this, he couldn't help but blurt out a question, "Lord Wang, but Enke is hopeful?" ”

Who knew that Qi Xuanhui neither shook his head nor nodded, but said lightly: "If you can't open it, you can't relax and slack off." ”

"You know, as long as there is something in your stomach, then no matter when, by someone, you can show your style."

"But if you completely ignore these most basic things because of the smooth sailing in the court, then even if the opportunity comes, you can only be embarrassed." (To be continued......)
