In all fairness, Cui Chengkai is guilty and remorseful for Yuan Pei Luo, but he also owes An's money.

Over the years, he has been drunk all day long, living a muddy life, and always bringing a lot of trouble to An's.

Needless to say, the money owed for wine, the dirty clothes that spit out, and the smell of the house.

Just look at his usual indifference to An's and lack of warmth for the children, and when he doesn't care about things and has no ability, she can still manage this family in obscurity, which is his biggest debt to her.

Therefore, even if he had scruples in his heart and refused to go to Nanzhuang, An Shi had already nodded categorically, and Cui Chengkai could no longer refute her.

lest he hurt An's dignity in front of his eldest daughter and make An's unhappy.

He sighed almost silently, "Since your mother has said it all, then let's go." ”

An's face couldn't hide his joy, and he hurriedly said to Cui Ling, "Grandma Jiu, you and your uncle are here to talk to the master first, and I'll go down and make arrangements, and we'll have a reunion dinner at home at noon." ”

She went down in a rage.

Cui Ling thought for a while and said to Goro, "Husband, you take care of my father here first, and I'll go see my mother." ”

She paused, lowered her voice and said, "The big kitchen is so deceitful, I'm afraid that my mother will have to gossip again." It just so happened that I brought some rice and noodles that I could usually use, and I would cook a simple meal later. ”

It costs money to clean up a table of decent wine and food, and according to the urine nature of the gang in the big kitchen, in addition to the principal of this dish, Shangyin will also need a lot. Summing up. Maybe there will be two or three taels of silver.

Two or three taels of silver. The five rooms can naturally be taken out, but if they are used today, the next few days, the days will be even more difficult.

If Wufang had plenty of money and could casually throw out such spare money, then there would be no need to eat other people's leftovers before.

Cui Ling didn't want An's to change things for lunch.

Sure enough, when she rushed to An's house, she happened to see An's take out a pair of gold-headed noodles from the cabinet and twist a piece and hand it to her mother.

It's all up to this. An Shi didn't have a sad face, she said very happily, "I'm going to go outside to exchange the silver at this time, I'm afraid it's too late, so I'll take it to Mama Guo and ask her to help exchange a little silver." ”

The old lady disagreed, "Mama Guo's pious woman is very dark, this piece of gold is clearly worth five taels of silver, and at most three taels will come out of her." Madam! ”

She said with a quick mouth and some disapproval. "Rather than this, it is better for the old slave to go out for a trip, exchange five taels of silver, and go directly to the restaurant, pick the best table to set up a table, and ask someone to send it."

This is a good idea, the three taels of silver exchanged from Mama Guo, when you take it to the kitchen, you can buy a dish of one or two halves of silver at most.

It's better to redeem it directly from the outside, and then buy it from the outside, not only decent, but also have some money left.

Ahn said happily, "Then let's do it!" ”

Cui Ling sighed and shouted, "Mother! ”

An Shi was taken aback, and saw that his plan was seen through by Cui Ling, and his face couldn't help but turn red, "Grandma Jiu, why are you here?" ”

She hurriedly called the old lady out.

Cui Ling drank the mama, "You don't have to go out." ”

She said to An Shi disapprovingly, "Mother is short of money, so she should tell me, why bother to go out to exchange money?" ”

An Shi hurriedly pointed to the other side and said, "Don't misunderstand Aunt Jiu, it's not because you came, you didn't hang it, earlier your father's medicine had a hundred-year-old ginseng, the price was more expensive, and the house wanted to use ordinary ginseng instead, I didn't want to, so I twisted that one to change." ”

She smiled embarrassedly, "It's just a golden face, and it's not worth mentioning anything outside of your body." ”

Cui Ling was a little moved in her heart, she sighed and said, "I brought some rice and noodle ingredients here, don't we have a small kitchen here?" I've already asked someone to clean it up, and I'll cook it myself and make you a delicious meal later. ”

She laughed, "Mother must have heard of it, right?" I'm a pretty good cook. ”

An Shi was not happy when he heard this, and his face was blue and red for a while.

She said, "I know, in those years, I didn't take good care of you, so that you were wronged......"

The ladies of this Shengjing family, who is willing to go to the kitchen to dip in spring water?

What you want to eat and drink, you have to call people to do it, which one will really cook and cook by yourself?

Therefore, when An heard that Cui Ling's cooking skills were good, he did not feel honored, but a little unreasonable.

In those years, she really did not treat the daughter born to this yuan match harshly.

But she didn't treat her well, she gave her daily routines happily, not only in time, but always extra more, but this was just material care.

In the final analysis, these are all public schools, and she is not asked to pay for them herself, as for why she gives more, it is just because her children are still young and don't need those.

She didn't really care about Cui Ling like a mother.

Therefore, she lived under her nose, but she didn't know that Cui Ling could cook.

Cui Ling laughed lightly, "What my mother said, I cook because I like it, I want to, but it's not because you abused me and didn't let me eat, so I had to do it myself." ”

She stepped forward and put her arms around An's arm, this was the first time she had been so close to her stepmother.

After a pause, she said, "Mother, don't think too much, you treat me very well, I have nothing to complain about." ”

That's what she really said.

The relationship between stepmother and stepdaughter, this is the most difficult layer, and nine out of ten people have to get along badly.

Although they are nominally mother and daughter, they are not biological in the end, and they still occupy the four words of Yuan and Concubine, which cannot be light or heavy, and it is difficult to grasp this degree.

Cui Ling can understand.

An Shi has not treated her harshly, and she has not even said a word of heavy words, although she has not been intimately raised, but her stepmother is only, and her requirements for her stepmother are not so high.

She can identify with Ann in her heart, regardless of the past.

The key thing is that An's meticulous care of Cui Chengkai is sincere and sincere, and he does not regard him as a boss or leader, but really regards him as a lover.

In addition, in the smoky backyard of Anningbo's Mansion, An's three children still maintain a sense of innocence and kindness, which is particularly commendable, so that Cui Ling completely let go of her guard.

Although she is not a biological mother and was only close in the past, she still wants to be good to An's.

This is probably because she lacks maternal love, right? Even if it's just a stepmother, every time she calls her mother, there is always a glimmer of hope in her heart.

The hour was not early, Cui Ling went to the small kitchen to prepare lunch, and An Shi said that he would not just look at anything, but also follow to help.

Cui Ling didn't refuse, looked at the eager expressions of the two younger sisters and asked, "Do you two want to go with me?" ”

The little sister Cui Fei opened a pair of big eyes and looked at Cui Ling with a wink, but refused to speak.

Cui Pian was older, and plucked up the courage to say, "My sister and I want to go with my sister!" ”

Although the voice is small, the tone is very firm, and when the word sister is spoken, there is still obvious intimacy and dependence, as if they have grown up together since childhood, and they have never been estranged.

Cui Ling couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and a bright smile appeared on her face, "Okay, let's go together." ”

In Cui Chengkai's house, Weng and his son-in-law had a good conversation.

Gorou listened to Cui Chengkai talk about the current situation and analyze the situation of Gyeonggi Wei for him, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that my father-in-law has such a talent!" ”

This is from the heart, and there is no half-truth.

He always thought that his father-in-law Cui Chengkai was drunk all the year round, unkempt, unmotivated, and had no ambitions, just an ordinary gentleman.

But today's opinion made him dumbfounded.

He just said a rough idea, and his father-in-law could get a glimpse of the whole leopard, and analyze the overall situation for him from the details, which is simply a natural political genius!

Cui Chengkai's gray face finally showed a little ruddy, and he said arrogantly, "Speaking of which, back then, I was also a powerful figure in Shengjing City, and even the first emperor said that I will become the pillar of the country and the minister of the humerus!" ”

But then his face became gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky......

Gorou knew the past so well that he knew he couldn't go on.

He hurriedly diverted the topic and asked, "The new emperor will be established after the beginning of spring, and my father-in-law may predict which family will the new queen choose from?" ”

This is the most popular topic in Shengjing City recently.

Whether it is a high-ranking family or a street or alley, as long as people meet, they must always talk about the topic after the establishment of the new emperor.

The one who thinks that the most likely is Muyang Bofu.

Goro, however, has a different opinion.

Cui Chengkai hadn't been outside for a long time, and he didn't know who the new emperor would be, but after listening to Goro's introduction, he said firmly, "It seems that this new queen is going to be chosen from the girls of the Liang family." ”

His eyes flashed slightly, and he said solemnly, "The queen mother's maiden family, the Liang family of Chengenhou, will have a queen in the near future." ”

Gorou laughed, and that was exactly what he was thinking.

However, he still wanted to know why his father-in-law decided this, after all, Cui Chengkai had been ill for several months, and he had no chance to contact other courtiers, so he could be said to know nothing about the situation outside.

Cui Chengkai smiled slightly, "Although the Queen Mother's identity is respected, now it is even more different from before, the new emperor is not from her, but she raised it single-handedly, the mother and son are affectionate, and they are no less than others." ”

He paused, and then said, "But the Queen Mother has never been a queen in her life." ”

The new emperor is so filial, he will naturally fulfill this wish for his mother, and the candidate for this queen must come from the Liang family. (To be continued......)
