142 Honesty
Cui Ling came out of the confinement child, which is the full moon of Ke'er and Yi'er.
Originally, the old lady wanted to do a big deal, but thinking that the family was in an eventful autumn, and the full moon of Jiujin and Brother Ai was just a family gathering together to bless them with a family banquet, so he had to give up.
is also a great-grandson, she likes them all, and she can't favor one over the other.
Besides, now all the children in the family go out early and return late, and even the county lord often goes out, so there is no one who can manage it at all.
She herself is old and doesn't have that energy.
After thinking about it again, she waved her hand, "It's okay, let's hold a birthday banquet next year." ”
The Yuan family did not reveal the attitude of holding a big banquet, and the relatives and friends who came and went daily in Shengjing City did not specifically ask.
However, the families still sent the full moon messenger who was ready.
The eldest princess's mansion, the Liguo Mansion and the Anning Bo Mansion are in-laws, so this ceremony is naturally more important.
Although Su Zihua's mother's family is far away in Longzhong, the Su family's business is doing well, and they have already opened the store in Shengjing City, so naturally the brother who is in charge of the Shengjing branch will personally bring his daughter-in-law to the door to give gifts.
Even the Liang family, which had already fallen into decline and relied on searching to marry their daughter, sent a sister-in-law to send a few rare ancient books.
That was already the only remaining property of the Liang family that could never be sold.
Cui Ling couldn't help but feel hot when she saw these books.
She secretly asked the old lady, "If these books are put on the market to sell, I'm afraid they will be worth hundreds of taels of silver, and the Liang family is so down-and-out that they refuse to sell it, and now they are sent to me, I always feel that it is not practical to receive them." ”
The old lady said after a long silence. "It was sent by someone. It's hard to go back. It seems that we look down on others. It's better for you to accept it, and then find a reason to send something else back in the name of your second sister-in-law. ”
She sighed deeply, "Actually, the children of the Liang family are all good, but some of them are too pedantic and suffer your second sister-in-law." ”
Cui Ling's eyes moved slightly, and she thought in her heart, if it weren't for the second sister-in-law, she wanted to help her mother's family as much as possible. I won't have to work so hard to run a spicy restaurant.
The second sister-in-law is such a strong and forbearant person, and she is very backbone, if there is a mother's family who can help at least not lag behind, then how comfortable should life be today?
She echoed the old lady and sighed, "Yes, if someone in the Liang family is willing to put down the face of the emperor's lintel and do something to make a living in a down-to-earth manner, I am willing to help them with my second sister-in-law." ”
The old lady shook her head with a smile when she heard this, "You are a kind-hearted child. But I was wrong on this point. ”
She fiddled with the beads around her neck and whispered. "The Liang family has been a scholar for many years, what else can they do besides reading and taking scholars? They also expect that after the new monarch ascends the throne, he can be rehabilitated and re-examined. ”
Once a son of heaven and a courtier.
Once the Son of Heaven also has a new policy.
The Liang family did not really participate in the rebellion, but they were involved, and the current emperor was angry for a while before he promised that they could not take a scientific expedition, but after the emperor was replaced, there may not be a chance for a turnaround.
Just wait, and maybe there will be a chance to turn over.
But if you refuse to wait and switch to other industries, especially doing business like the Su family, it will be tantamount to self-deprecation in the eyes of the Liang family.
You must know that the status of Shinong, businessmen, and businessmen is at the bottom.
The Liang family would never do that.
Cui Ling was a little embarrassed, she had received modern higher education and had no class concept in her heart.
She always felt that only by staying in the green mountains could she not worry about running out of firewood.
The Liang family now even relies on the support of their married aunt and grandmother to fill their stomachs, and they still cling to the dream of being promoted and making a fortune in the future, which is a bit ridiculous.
If business is a lowly black history, is it worthy of praise for such a bloodsucking act as living by eating the dowry of a bride?
In the future, it will be criticized as a place.
It's better to live well by relying on your own ability to earn money and live well.
However, in the end, this is the matter of the second sister-in-law's mother's family, whether it is her or the old lady, they are unwilling and unable to care too much.
Cui Ling and the old lady were talking, when they saw Mu Hibiscus coming in in with a surprised expression, "The in-laws are here, the fifth master is not here, and Steward Li is invited to the main hall!" ”
Who is the master of the in-laws, Cui Ling also pondered for a while.
She suddenly thought of it, and her expression couldn't help but be surprised, "Hibiscus, you mean, my mother's father is here?" ”
The old lady was also surprised when she heard it, but in the end, the ginger was still old and spicy.
She got up with a smile and said, "You first change into the clothes of the guests and come slowly, and I will go to the main hall to entertain the guests first." ”
Cui Ling looked at her with blank eyes, "Grandmother ......"
The old lady is an elder and Cui Chengkai is a junior, and they don't need to receive each other in person.
She thought for a while and said, "Grandmother is still resting here, my father came here this time, thinking that he has something to tell me, if you go, maybe it will be inconvenient for him to talk." ”
Such words should not have been said so bluntly.
But Cui Ling and Lao Taijun have been together for a long time, and they know that they don't have to say those useless polite words in front of her old man, so she has something to say.
If you think about it, this is also the case.
What is Cui Chengkai's temperament, she has also heard of it, such a world-weary and negative person who indulges in the wine pot all day long, will personally visit the grandsons of the full moon, which is not very reasonable.
She thought of the past when the idea in the palace had been sealed in the dust, and she couldn't help but sigh, "That's fine." ”
Cui Ling changed into the clothes of the guest, and followed Mu Hibiscus to the main hall.
Because he thought that Cui Chengkai must have wanted to meet the two children, he also asked the nurse to take the children out.
As she entered the main hall, she saw a middle-aged man in a dark blue brocade robe sitting quietly, his head hanging down at the curling cigarette smoke wafting from the hot tea, as if he was immersed in a long thought.
Cui Ling straightened her expression and called with a smile. "Father!"
Cui Chengkai's body shook slightly. Turn your head. He called in a low voice, "Ling'er! ”
Cui Ling felt a little surprised.
In her impression, her father Cui Chengkai has always been a scruffy beard, not to mention decadent, and always looks gray, which makes people feel a little sloppy.
Although, as the fifth master of the Bofu, he always has new clothes to change every day. Most of them are still new shirts, and it stands to reason that they should be shining.
But he always managed to make himself dirty.
But the middle-aged man in front of her at this moment tied his hair meticulously, and even shaved his beard, which had not been shaved all year round.
Cui Chengkai was originally a beautiful man, and he had a melancholy beauty when he was rough before, not to mention that now he has a new rest, he is as handsome as the male stars on TV in his previous life.
Cui Ling secretly sighed in her heart, but she also couldn't understand what happened to Cui Chengkai.
What is it because of her, her chaotic father, suddenly figured it out.
But. Cui Chengkai can have such a change, she is still happy in her heart.
She lacked family affection in her previous life. What I crave most in this life is the warmth of caring for each other among family members, although the Yuan family is good, but Cui Chengkai is her biological father who bleeds the same blood as her.
She still has irrepressible admiration for him.
Cui Chengkai's gaze moved away from Cui Ling and projected onto the two nurses behind her.
He stood up and walked forward, stunned and excited, and asked, "Are these two my grandsons?" ”
A smile bloomed on Cui Ling's face, and she took the twelfth sister from the nurse's arms, "Well, the big one is Brother Ke'er, and this one is Yi'er, because the order is in twelve, so everyone calls her the twelfth sister." ”
She handed the twelfth sister to Cui Chengkai, "Father hugs her?" ”
Cui Chengkai took it excitedly and tremblingly, with a cautious look on his face.
He hugged the twelfth sister tightly and shook it gently, but fortunately, the posture of holding the child was very standard, like a journeyman.
After a pause, he said with infinite nostalgia, "When you were a child, I hugged you like this. ”
After Cui Chengkai finished speaking, his face was a little sneering.
His so-called Cui Ling was a child before she was three years old, but in her memory, will those days leave traces?
For as long as she can remember, most of what he left her with was apathy and dullness.
When he thought about it, he hadn't even spoken much to the daughter he loved the most in his heart.
He felt that he was an irresponsible father and that he was not qualified to say such things in front of her.
Cui Chengkai was a little embarrassed for a while, and quickly bit his tongue to divert the topic, "This child is called the twelfth sister?" Our twelve sisters were born so well. ”
He turned his face to look at Ke'er, who was looking at him with curious eyes in the nurse's arms, "Come, Ke'er also come over and let my grandfather hug him?" ”
Cui Ling had an indistinct look on her face.
She is a woman who is very sensitive to other people's emotions, and now, she is clearly aware of Cui Chengkai's embarrassment and self-blame, and can even understand his ostrich psychology of wanting to bury herself without seeing anyone.
If it were another daughter, she might really be disappointed and sad with such a father.
But she was born in the womb, and she was able to perceive and experience this world when she was a baby.
There is disappointment in Cui Chengkai, but compared with those children who are really isolated and helpless, she has a strong and brave adult heart, so the lack of a father in the process of growing up is regrettable for her, but it is not necessary.
Well, if Cui Chengkai had been treating her like she had been before she was three years old, she was sure that she would not be the indifferent she is now, and her frozen heart might not have melted until now.
But what's so important about this?
If Cui Chengkai is willing to open up to her, she doesn't actually mind accepting him again.
Because, she really needs her father's love so much!
Cui Chengkai hugged his grandson for a while, and when he saw that the two children were dozing off, he consciously returned the child to the nurse.
The nurse carried the children down, and the main hall was quiet for a while, leaving only their father and daughter.
Cui Ling asked curiously, "Father is coming back, do you have something to say to me?" ”
Cui Chengkai hid many complex emotions in his eyes, he stopped talking several times, and finally said, "There is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but you were still young before, and I always felt that it was not the time to tell you." But ......"
He paused, and his voice suddenly became low and heavy, "But I heard about the danger you encountered during childbirth, and I feel that this matter can no longer be hidden, Ling'er, you have the right to know!" (To be continued......)
