After bandaging the wound, the eldest princess sat on the chaise longue and showed a tired face, full of helplessness.

Cui Shan looked at the place where the eldest princess had bandaged with great interest, as if she was appreciating a treasure, occasionally with a little pickiness.

The big horse sat on the side, quite speechless, looking at the mess in the house, and then at his daughter, who was nothing, and couldn't say a word.

"Jin Hai!" Cui Shan put down her wrist, "When you go to Cao's house, you must see Gongzi Cao in person and tell him that my grandfather and parents have agreed to this marriage, and ask him to send someone over to propose marriage earlier." ”

The big horse wanted to scold him very much, but his wife was the eldest princess of the dynasty, and since the day of his princess, she has been forbearing, enduring his wife, and enduring his daughter. "Shan'er, you are so foolish, don't regret it in the future. Alas......" he got up and walked out of the boudoir, leaving only a long sigh.

Seeing that Cui Shan had indeed calmed down, the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, even if she had taken a fancy to the big colt back then, she was not so noisy, although she also threatened to hang herself, but that was just a show, and today Cui Shan can actually cut her wrist, which is more than just a scare.

Cui Shan sat for a while, took off her robe, hid on the embroidered couch to sleep, let the girls and grandmothers clean the boudoir, carried a large number of pieces out of the Mingyue Pavilion, and went to the treasury to receive a new batch of ornaments.

Jin Hai was ordered to go to Cao's house, and made it clear that the Cao family servant gave Cao Yuzhen, and waited for a quarter of an hour before seeing Cao Yuzhen come out in a decent silver-gray robe.

"Golden hairpin girl!" Cao Yuzhen clenched his fists gently.

Jin Hai jumped out of the carriage, approached Cao Yuzhen, and said, "Childe." The slave maid is now on the order of the county lord to give you a word. Cui Xiangye, the eldest princess, and the eldest concubine agreed to the relationship between the two of you, and hoped that the prince would send someone to Zuo Xiangfu to propose marriage earlier. ”

The Cao family has declined, and in the past fifty or sixty years, there has not been a single talent, and many imperial city families have long forgotten the Cao family. It wasn't until he was the top student in high school that he became quite famous in the imperial city, and he was one of the six sons, so some people remembered the Cao family.

He looked puzzled, and Jin Hai thought he didn't believe it: "The slaves and maids don't dare to deceive, and the Cui family members have indeed responded." The county lord is with you. It took a lot of thought. ”

"This is ......" Cao Yuzhen was a little curious, Cui Shan liked him, and he knew it. Before the Dragon Boat Festival this year, at a flower-viewing banquet, Cui Shan got the opportunity and told him in person.

Being liked by a young lady is a man's pride, and it can satisfy the vanity of being a man. It's just that. Hearing that the Cui family agreed, Cao Yuzhen did not have more joy, but was a little inexplicably disappointed. If this person was not Cui Shan, but another woman, he might have been ecstatic.

He has a peerless talent, so he deserves to be worthy of a woman with both talent and beauty. Although Cui Shan has good looks, she doesn't dare to compliment Caide. Even in the past six months, Cui Shan has written several poems that are appropriate to the occasion. It's really good, and he has gained some fame in the Imperial City, but he really has no intention of her. There is a person in his heart, and that woman is a well-deserved talented woman in the imperial city.

Jin Hai said with a smile: "In order to let the elders agree to the marriage, the county lord hanged himself and jumped off the building. I even hurt my wrists. She treats her son sincerely, and hopes that her son will not live up to her infatuation. Son. It was better to send someone to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion earlier to propose marriage, so as to appease the county lord's heart. ”

He didn't feel joy, but was a little depressed.

Yes, he actually didn't like Lord Coral County, and at this moment, he was thinking of another woman.

But he can't offend Cui Fu because of this.

Cao Yuzhen said: "Seeing that it is about to be closed back then, all the things at home are cumbersome, and the girl Lao said to the county lord, and then make plans after the New Year." ”

Although Jin Hai was a little unhappy, he thought that if Cao Yuzhen hadn't revealed something to Cui Shan, Cui Shan would not have made such a big move. Looking back and thinking about it, when it came to the end of the year, every family and every house had endless things, even the same was true of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion, so I was relieved again. "I'll tell the county lord, the elders finally responded, don't delay for a long time."

Cao Yuzhen responded with a fist.

Jin Hai turned around and jumped into the carriage, Cao Yuzhen stood in the tuyere, looking at the carriage in the distance, and a beautiful face appeared in front of him, the pavilion and pure body like a lotus, and the cold eyes that were not stained with dust......

Why did she hate herself?

If Jiang Shuqi is still in the imperial city, he may be able to figure it out.

He had never had any intersection with her, and he remembered her only because she came to rescue Hu Xiangling in the lotus pond of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

That day, Hu Xiangling and Cui Shan fell in love with him, but he only glanced at her and never forgot her.

No matter how many days and nights, no matter how many women are approached by him, only she is special.

Cao Yuzhen turned around and entered the gate of Cao's mansion, and a girl said, "Second master, the old lady invites you to come over." ”

The Cao Mansion, which was once very prosperous, is now in decline, and there are three rooms living in the small Sanjin Courtyard Cao Mansion, which is quite crowded and crowded, relying on the fields, Zhuangzi, and several shops in the rental imperial city left by the ancestors to live.

The eldest son is three years older than Cao Yuzhen, and the second son is three months younger than him, both of whom have already started a family. The big house also accepted two concubines, and the two aunts each had the eldest son and the eldest daughter. The big house lives in three courtyards in the east, Cao Dexing and his wife live in one with their two daughters, the two sisters-in-law live in one courtyard, and the other courtyard lives in the second room of the concubine and the children of the concubine, which is quite crowded.

The second room lives with Cao Yuzhen and her mother who has been widowed for many years, Mrs. Cao is young and widowed, and her mind is on her own pair of children, there is a sister under Cao Yuzhen, who will turn fifteen years old, but she was not born to Mrs. Cao, but was born by a concubine, and this concubine room went with the second master Cao (Cao Decai), leaving a daughter Cao Yumei to spend her life with Mrs. Cao's mother and son.

Due to the small population of the second room, Mrs. Cao and Cao Yuzhen's grandfather lived in a separate courtyard in the south courtyard of the second room, and the second wife Cao lived in a courtyard with Yumei, and Cao Yuzhen had a courtyard of his own. This once made the cousins of the big house and the second room envious.

The three-room Cao Dewang couple has four children under their knees, and they have two concubines, although there are also three courtyards, but they are not enough to live, and many people are crowded in one courtyard.

Cao Yuzhen crossed the trail to a small courtyard in the south courtyard, and went straight into the most gorgeous and elegant courtyard in the house, with three main rooms, east and west wings, and a small kitchen, miscellaneous room and a subordinate room on the east side. The three rooms in the west are all warehouses, because the Cao family's business is withering, the key to this warehouse has always been held by the old lady.

The old lady was sitting on the warm couch, and three wives were sitting on the chaise longue on either side.

The eldest lady smiled and asked, "Yuzhen, I heard that the girl sent by the coral county lord is here?" ”

Are you here to find out the news?

As soon as he met Cui Shan's personal maids, they heard about it.

The second wife hugged Tang Pozi with a peaceful expression, and Cao Yumei stood behind her.

Cao Yumei groaned, as if she was guessing, and only pursed her lips and smiled.

The third lady's eyes were full of inquiry, carefully examining Cao Yuzhen, and sometimes looking at the old lady sitting in the middle of the flower hall.

Cao Yuzhen saw the salute, and the old lady gave him a seat.

He sat down on the chair next to the second wife and said slowly, "You were ordered to have a message with me." ”

The third lady hurriedly asked, "What words?" And tell us all? ”

Cao Yuzhen was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't stand the third wife's questioning, and said, "Say ...... The Cui family agreed to my marriage to her. ”

The old lady closed her eyes slightly, turned a string of Bodhi Buddha beads in her hand, and closed her lips one by one, as if she was silently chanting "Amitabha".

The third lady's face was full of joy, "This is a good thing, isn't it?" The eldest princess has this baby daughter under her knees, if my Cao family is lucky enough to marry the coral county lord, I don't have to worry about the days ahead, and the dowry is only very rich. ”

The Cao family is now living a tight life, and the eldest lord has lived a lot of age, and he has only found an idle errand in the imperial court, and he still can't get an official position. The third master is simply a white coat, and he has never even been hit by the three rankings.

When Cao Yuzhen was seven years old, the eldest master felt that the prosperity of the Cao family was tied to him, and his sons had no talent for reading, and the sons of the third master were the same.

The eldest son of the eldest man wanted to do business in his early years, but he lost his old capital twice, and hundreds of taels of silver were lost in it.

The eldest lady carefully examined the old lady, and saw that the second lady was not very happy, and it was said that this was a great thing, so why didn't she smile. Said: "I see that the Coral County Lord is also a good woman. ”

Good woman?

The old lady opened her eyes and felt that the eldest lady had said this strange thing.

The second wife was thoughtful, and her tone was as calm as ever, "Zuo Xiangfu is also a powerful person in the current dynasty, and she is the daughter of the eldest princess, so she is really rich and extraordinary." However, as soon as the conversation changed, "The Right Prime Minister's Mansion has not borrowed nepotism and in-laws, so it has today's dignity and is even more respectable." ”

The eldest lady heard some meaning, could it be that the second room was not staring at the coral county lord, but the right prime minister's mansion. As we all know, there is a young lady in the right minister's mansion who is waiting for the word boudoir, and the woman is a famous talented woman in the imperial city, and she has been taught by a master in the world, and she is really a legend.

"Whether it's the Coral County Lord, or Anxi, it's not something that people like us can hope for, it's rare that the Coral County Lord can look at Yuzhen, I look very good! Second brother and sister, what do you say? ”

People can't look at a mountain high.

There is a coral county lord who sees it in his eyes, and dares to think of the young lady of the right prime minister's mansion, is that young lady what ordinary people can think. It was the person who was staring at the royal family, and the princess on her left shoulder let out a word, saying that Miss Jiang was the princess of the Yan family. It is said that he went back to the palace several times for the marriage, but the emperor never made an order.
