Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Consequences
I heard that there are two shops, but among the two most profitable dowry shops of Mrs. Cui, my mother-in-law is very bankrupt, and I don't know what it looks like to feel distressed!
In Cui Wanqing's mind, for some reason, she shook off the smug handsome face of her third uncle.
As for Cui Wanyun to be recorded in her mother's name, although it was expected, but in her heart, she still couldn't help but feel sour, how could it be so easy to do what she couldn't do in her previous life?
Moreover, in the matter of Cui Wanyun's transformation from a concubine to a concubine, she is the one who has contributed the most.
The most undeniable thing is that the reason why Second Master Cui ruthlessly forced Second Mrs. Cui to nod his head in agreement with this matter, at least more than half of them were stimulated by Cui Wanqing's deceased mother and Ming Anhou's uncle, so Cui Wanqing is really indispensable.
Because of the proximity, when she went to ask Mrs. Cui for peace, Cui Wanqing only brought Yulan alone, and when she entered the house, she saw that the person who arrived today was really complete.
Not only Cui Wanhua, Cui Wanying, and Cui Wanyun are all there, but even the rare Second Mrs. Cui is also sitting, Cui Wanqing, who is the closest, has become the latest to arrive.
She was very embarrassed to say hello one by one, and said with a smile: "When I was dressing up today, I laughed a few words with the maids, I came late, and I asked my grandmother and mother not to be surprised." ”
Old Madam Cui waved her hand and smiled disapprovingly, "What's the matter, besides, you didn't come late, your mother and sisters arrived early, sit down, and you are not afraid of sore legs when you stand stupidly." ”
Mo Lianhua glanced at Cui Wanqing, smiled and nodded, the closeness in her eyes was undisguised, this gentle and dignified gesture, Cui Wanqing's heart trembled.
However, Cui Wanying pursed her lips angrily, obviously looking at Mrs. Cui being close to her, which is probably not a taste in her heart, but the undisguised jealousy of the fourth sister, Cui Wanqing felt relieved when she looked at it.
Only Cui Wanyun sat honestly, and you can see her upright sitting posture with her eyes, nose, nose and heart, which can be called the norm of everyone's young lady.
Take a look at her again, the new silver neon cherry red silk placket skirt, the gold inlaid jade head of the Immortal Pavilion, and the jade exquisite pendant hanging on the beaded belt.
and the makeup of her fine hair on her face, her crimson nails, all of which let Cui Wanqing know how much her fifth sister values this time today.
She couldn't help but speculate secretly: "Today, there are only people in our second room in my grandmother's house, and the seventh sister and ten sisters didn't come, could it be that it's only been three days, and my grandmother is about to fulfill her promise?" ”
"I think that my father really took the lifeblood of this one this time, he has been free and easy for ten years, and he has been the master of the house for ten years, and this time he wants to let Second Mrs. Cui be the new daughter-in-law again, serve her mother-in-law, and respect her eldest sister-in-law."
"The most important thing is that you have to be strictly controlled by Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Cui has the final say on what to eat, which makes Second Mrs. Cui, who is used to being a talker, how can she stand it?"
"No wonder this person is in such a hurry to complete the matter of the fifth sister, probably because he is afraid that his father will listen to the eldest uncle's downfall again, and he will really unite the two mansions."
Cui Wanqing thought of this, so she glanced at her grandmother sitting next to her, and saw that the makeup on her face was thicker than Cui Wanyun.
It's just that the thick incense powder can't cover the dark circles under her eyes, but it makes the fine lines on her face more and more obvious.
Speaking of which, although Cui Wanqing lives in Dongfu, the rules cannot be abolished, and she has to go to her grandmother to say goodbye the next day, but after two days, this person is so old, it can be seen that the things of the past few days have really tormented her.
Compare the second Mrs. Cui with a haggard appearance and a yellow complexion in front of her, and Aunt Xiang who is tender and bright and has a face like spring flowers, as long as she is a normal man, I am afraid that she will also choose Aunt Xiang, not the second lady.
Cui Wanqing was in a good mood, picked up a fragrant chrysanthemum chestnut cake on the table, walked to the second Mrs. Cui, and persuaded with a smile: "Mother came early, I'm afraid it's useless to be early, eat a piece of chestnut cake first, and the daughter specially added chrysanthemum petals to clear the fire, which is very suitable for the occasion this season." ”
Second Mrs. Cui suddenly stiffened when she heard this, "My son is filial, but he used bird's nest porridge in the morning, and he is not hungry. ”
"What's in a hurry? It's still very early, nine girls are filial to you, you are a mother, how can you make your child faceless? If you use the upper half of the mouth, the meaning will also work. Old Madam Cui looked very solemn.
It's just that Cui Wanqing is also very familiar with her grandmother, and she can see at a glance that the corners of her grandmother's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help laughing, just waiting to see her second daughter-in-law deflated.
With her mother-in-law to speak, the second lady Cui was not easy to hold the shelf, reached out and picked up a piece, praised Cui Wanqing with a smile, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, took a bite of the snack, wrapped it in her mouth like chewing wax, and felt nauseous for a while.
"Clear the eyes! What a clear eye! I really have to be clear-eyed! Second Mrs. Cui's heart was dripping with blood, and she was holding a breath in her chest, straight up to her throat, where could she still swallow something? In the end, the chestnut cake was rewarded with spring swallows.
Looking at the hall, everyone's faces were as usual, but there was irrepressible happiness in their eyes, Cui Wanqing secretly sighed that the second lady Cui was a real failure, and she was half a pound and eight taels in her previous life, she was hated by everyone, and few people cried when she died.
However, fortunately, she was pitied by God and got another chance to live again, but it is a pity that Second Mrs. Cui, with herself by her side, her road is destined to become narrower and narrower, and her life will become more and more sad.
"Zhou Yue'e, in your previous life, by saving your father, you sent me a small sedan chair into the Liangwang Mansion, since then, I have lived sixteen years of life is better than death, in this life, my daughter and I will also serve you with all my heart for sixteen years, one day will not be more, but one day will not be less, you must be satisfied with the return." Cui Wanqing thought about it, and the smile on her face became softer and softer.
Second Mrs. Cui also noticed the atmosphere in the hall, there was an indescribable weirdness, although the looks on the faces of the people in front of her looked normal, but she just felt that this person was all sarcastic, and she was not sure how to laugh at herself.
The more she looked at it and thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, she was really a little impatient, she felt that sitting next to Mrs. Cui was irritable, and she couldn't sit still at the moment.
It's just that I came to Songcui Courtyard to ask for peace, and I was so uncomfortable, so if I really annoyed my husband and merged the two mansions into one, then I would be happier to die.
She knew that the second master Cui was really annoyed this time, this time the matter was too big, although Ying Tianfu withdrew the case after the uncle's personal visit, blasted the troublemakers out, and ordered his family to pay money.
However, I don't know if someone deliberately spread rumors that are not conducive to the Cui family, but in half a day, in the aristocratic circle of the capital, everyone knew that the dowry shop of the second lady of the Cui family was out of trouble, and the body was carried to the door to blackmail.
For a while, I don't know how many people are speculating about the family background of Second Mrs. Cui, and there are even rumors that the reason why Second Mrs. Cui is making money is because she wants to make up for her mother's family!
The Zhou family came to question the matter the next day, and it was their mother-in-law's cronies, who had an old face like an orange peel, and it was two feet long, and the words were even more distressing.
And Bian's Mansion is even more desperate, his eldest sister didn't come, but he sent six carriages of things.
also asked the mother of Zhou to say: "Our wife said, she really doesn't know, the second lady, you have taken the money from your husband's family to supplement your mother's family, if she knew earlier, she would definitely not dare to accept your gift." ”
"Fortunately, the gift list that has been exchanged over the years is still there, and those that have been used, we have also found more valuable ones to make up, and the management insurance will only be more, not less."
"Second lady, if you don't worry, you might as well take the list to a pair, and say that our Bian family is cheap with the Cui family in the future, and our Bian family really can't afford this reputation!"
Second Mrs. Cui was turned over by the vomited black blood at that time, "Okay, my serious mother-in-law hasn't said anything yet, you mothers' families, but you mothers are rushing to anger me, do you want me to die early?" Dreaming, I don't let you go as you wish. ”
She accepted the gift returned by the eldest sister in a fit of anger, and asked the shopkeeper Zhou to list the shop and the teahouse and sublease them together with the goods.
After thinking about it inside and out, even if there are several big cars sent by Mrs. Bian as the bottom, you can pay for the medical expenses, labor costs, funeral expenses, and the loss of silver money is at least tens of thousands.
In addition, after the shop is rented out, you can only collect a rent, which cannot be compared with the profits of the previous business, and it is really a bloody blood!
Although she was depressed and wanted to kill someone, Second Mrs. Cui could only use "Just use money to buy leisure." Such a broken excuse to comfort myself.
However, if something like this happened again, she was afraid that she would go crazy.
Second Mrs. Cui made up her mind in private, she would buy Zhuangzi and land when she had money in the future, and she would never do business on her own again.
In line with the idea that stretching out the head is a knife and shrinking the head is also a knife, the future intention of the second Mrs. Cui Mali is fully revealed, "Today's daughter-in-law came to greet your mother-in-law, it is a good thing, I want to tell you, our five girls, she and Yu'er have a rare relationship, and the daughter-in-law wants to simply record Yun'er in my name, mother-in-law, what do you think?" ”
She also wanted to finish things early, leave early, or go back to her own place, feel more comfortable, stay in the boundary of Dongfu, really up and down, then it was uncomfortable to die.
Old Madam Cui smiled when she heard this, "Yo, I remember that the eldest and second eldest mentioned this matter to you before, and you are not happy, what?" How can you be willing this time? Feelings still have to give up some money, this time if you are not blackmailed, I'm afraid that our family will not be able to do such a good thing. ”R1152
