Chapter 33: Sister-in-law
Cui Wanqing hesitated for a while when she heard this, and her hand holding the armrest of the official hat chair couldn't help but tighten, and finally raised her head and whispered to her third brother: "The women that the third brother said were the county lord of Zhaoyang and her friends?" ”
Cui Changjian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Cui Wanqing's accurate guess, but then he thought of the name of the county lord of Zhaoyang, who was also thunderous in the capital, and with the intelligence of his ninth sister, it was not a strange thing to guess so easily.
He thought through in his heart, nodded with a smile: "My sister guessed quite accurately, isn't this one?" You know, behind the lord of Zhaoyang, there is the current queen Chitose! ”
"The county lord is the youngest daughter of Princess Huimin, and she is the most pampered in Su Ri, even if the saint cares for this granddaughter today, she is also very caring, not to mention the queen mother, who can afford to provoke this?"
"In order to avoid Hengsheng incidents during the competition and injure the noble body, isn't this the easiest and most practical way to cancel the registration qualification for the women's bow and arrow competition?"
When Cui Changjian said this, his eyes couldn't help but flash the situation he saw with his own eyes that day, but such a small matter caused those who believed in the ancient rites and respected the new rites to quarrel so clearly.
If it weren't for the timely arrival of the mountain elder and his words to stop it, then I am afraid that the meeting of the two houses has not been held as scheduled, and a big war will break out between the New Rite Sect and the Ancient Rite Sect first
Cui Wanqing looked at Cui Zhangjian's palpitating face, but she knew in her heart that there was indeed such a thing in her previous life, and later, the mountain chief of Pengfei Academy, in the middle of these two factions, finally really agreed to this method of covering her ears and stealing the bell.
Originally, the mountain chief was afraid that he didn't want to be involved, so he chose this easiest method, but he didn't expect that as soon as this notice came out, he was angrily sued to the queen mother by the resentful county lord of Zhaoyang.
The result is conceivable, the Queen Mother, her old man, loves this great-granddaughter who can talk and laugh and always makes her extremely happy.
In a fit of rage, he issued an edict and asked his chief eunuch to personally go to Pengfei Academy and order the mountain chief to follow the rules left by his predecessors and not to change them without authorization.
How could the chief of the mountain have thought that he was cautious, for fear of causing trouble for the academy, and chose to avoid it in a low-key manner, how could it be that this would be the result?
At the moment, he could only be drenched in cold sweat, and he was sincerely afraid to obey the order, and he didn't dare to mention that women were not allowed to participate in the bow and arrow competition, but in order to ensure the safety of the nobles, he solemnly set up some protective measures in the realm of the bow and arrow competition.
It's a pity that although the county lords of Zhaoyang made a lot of noise, they finally got their wishes, but their skills were not as good as others, and the one with the highest skills only won the sixth, let alone broke into the top three.
Rao is so, this year's double house conference, the county lord of Zhaoyang and others are also very popular, and they have been discussed for a while, but this is mixed, both good and bad, faintly indicating that these different noblewomen will not escape their tortuous fate.
If Meng Yuele's archery skills are not good, Cui Wanqing will let her follow the Zhaoyang County Lord to join in the fun, and she should have a good time, thinking that there are these royal nobles, such a high-profile shelter from the wind and rain in front, Meng Yuele, a girl from the military general's family, is really not a big deal.
But Meng Yuele said that her archery skills were superb, and even the young men of the entire Meng family were not her opponents, regardless of whether Meng Yuele's words were true or not.
If Meng Yuele broke into the top three as a woman, even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance that this thing would happen, Cui Wanqing asked herself, but she still didn't dare to let Meng Yuele risk offending the tigress of the county lord of Zhaoyang, and go into battle in her true colors.
That's why she turned her brain, not afraid of trouble, not too troublesome, and came up with such an idea of a woman dressing up as a man, and now it seems that her third brother is quite in favor of this idea to avoid its edge.
Cui Wanqing smiled with the pleasure of being approved, and said softly: "Third brother, my sister has a sentence that is really not unhappy, according to my sister's thoughts, even if you mountain elders agree, it will be for nothing, you might as well think about it, who is the most favored by the Queen Mother Chitose today?" ”
Cui Changjian is a person who is determined to show his strength in the officialdom, and he has long been familiar with these intertwined relationships in the court, and he knows it by heart.
As soon as Cui Wanqing's words full of meaning came out, it was only two breaths, and he figured out the twists and turns.
Cui Changjian shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Alas, in the matter of the royal family, it is better for us people to participate less, since you have all decided to act like this, and Mr. Xiao Han also promised to help, I will not stop you as a brother." ”
"But remember not to be careless, you must be cautious, let Miss Meng San disappear immediately after the competition, buy two sets of identical clothes for the brotherhood, you let Miss Meng San and the son of the Zheng family wear them, since the two of them are about the same size, and there will be red spots on their faces, then quickly change the person."
"Anyway, Miss Meng San wants to prove her strength, and she doesn't want those false names, so let Zheng Gongzi deal with the rest of the things."
Cui Changjian will let them pass the test so lightly, and Mr. Xiao Han's participation in it also has a certain relationship, this is the person who saved Cui Changjian back then, and it was a coincidence that Mr. Xiao Han came to Pengfei Academy to apply for a job under the introduction of Mr. Han.
But on the way up the mountain, he saved Cui Changjian's life with great might, and because of this incident, he entered Pengfei Academy as Mr. Bow Horse, probably this is also a fixed number in the dark, right?
Cui Wanqing didn't know the trick, but felt that what Cui Changjian added was really practical, I heard that the bow and arrow competition would take about two days, if after the competition, Meng Yuele and Zheng Gongzi would be handed over, wouldn't it be more credible?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but nod again and again, and said in admiration: "The third brother is so old, so let's play a game of stealing beams and changing pillars that day, Li Dai Tao stiff, hehe, it must be very interesting, I will tell a few of them when I go to the academy tomorrow." ”
Things have progressed to this point, basically even if the planning is complete, just wait for the double house conference to be held, before that, the Cui family took the first step to usher in the birthday of Mrs. Cui.
In previous years, Mrs. Cui's birthday was a big deal without exception, but this year, because of filial piety in the family, she only invited close relatives to come over for a small sitting, and even the best friends did not post to invite a family.
Master Cui has recently been collecting arrears and receiving a critical moment, and he is too busy with the affairs of the court to be busy, and he really doesn't have time to prepare for his wife's birthday.
On the contrary, the second master Cui, who was at home on sick leave, was very spontaneous and spontaneous, and took up the matter of celebrating his mother's birthday.
waited only for the day when Mrs. Cui had a good life, and opened the middle door to welcome the arrival of relatives.
The relatives invited by the Cui family are also Mrs. Cui's maiden family, Mrs. Cui's maiden home Shangguan Mansion, Cui Changjian's maternal ancestor Liufu, Cui Wanqing's maternal ancestor Ming'anhou Mansion, and Cui San's maiden family Cheng Mansion.
In addition, he also sent an invitation to Cui Wanhua, which invited the prince of Jin, but in fact, the top and bottom of the Cui family did not dare to expect the arrival of the prince, and only thought about taking their aunt and grandmother back, and they would be content to reunite with their families.
Just like that, five or six families, together they can prepare more than 20 seats, and this is only the main seat, and then counting the people who came with the masters to celebrate their birthdays, if they are all added together, fifty or sixty tables are few.
Fortunately, the next person's table is only expensive in terms of affordability, not in exquisiteness, but also in easy management, but it is these 20 or so tables of seats, so that Mrs. Cui, who is accustomed to pursuing perfection, has no less brains, and it is delicate and rare, and it is necessary to make a few specialties of the Cui family.
For this, Mrs. Cui also specially invited Cui Wanqing, the two of them, plus the grandmother of the Cui family and the second lady of the Cui family, Cui Wanshu, the four of them sat together for a good discussion, and finally brought forth the new.
Because of Zhou's mourning, Cui Wanshu's marriage date can only be postponed to the end of the year, but fortunately, the family she married and the Cui family are good friends, and the two families sit together to discuss, which can be regarded as a kind and angry postponement of the marriage.
In this way, Cui Wanshu, who had already prepared the dowry for the wedding, suddenly became idle, and was mentioned to herself by Mrs. Cui, and took her and Grandma Cui's aunt and sister-in-law to learn housekeeping together.
Cui Wanqing is the first time to be so close to her sister-in-law and second sister, and when she came down two hours younger, she felt that her sister-in-law, a famous vinegar jar in Beijing, had a narrow mind and suddenly opened up a lot.
Mrs. Cui also mentioned a sentence during the chat, saying that Grandma Cui took the initiative to open her face and put Cui Changhao in the house to make a room, and let go, the three girls in the room today, whoever passed the good news first was the second aunt and grandmother.
This is the opposite of the hanging trick played in the previous life!
Of course, Cui Wanqing still let out a long sigh of relief in her heart when she heard this 'good' news, she is also a member of the Cui family, how could she want to watch the Cui family be embarrassed and become a big joke in the entire capital?
Because Grandma Cui was kind to her, her impression of this sister-in-law, who was very different from her previous life, had changed a lot, but because the previous psychological shadow was too strict, she was still in the stage of visiting for the time being.
didn't feel that the other party had changed, so he generously opened his mind and wanted to stage a big drama of sister-in-law and sister-in-law. R1152
