176 Counterattack

Cui Ling gave a few instructions, and then walked straight to the gate of the courtyard.

Because Cui Wu's incident happened in the morning, a few stout mothers-in-law were lying there, refusing to call people from outside in.

But although the mothers-in-law have great strength, their status is low, and they can't last long under the pressure of strong authority.

Otherwise, with the crumbling status of Wufang, anyone who comes to the prince and Mrs. Zhao to say a few words of gossip, the prince and the lady can't take the masters, but they will be unlucky.

The one who is the leader has already had more than enough heart and strength, and seeing Cui Ling come out at this moment is like seeing a savior.

She hurriedly took three steps and two steps, stepped forward and said, "Grandma Jiu, it's Miss Fifteen who is here." ”

Cui Ling was surprised, what is Cui Fu doing here?

She looked up from a distance and saw a young woman in a pale yellow plain dress outside the door, looking at her in all directions.

The girl said with a smile, "Sister Nine, I'll come to see the fifth uncle, the people in the fifth room are so majestic that they won't let me in." ”

This was said in a strange tone, and Cui Ling frowned when she heard it.

She raised her eyes, glanced at Cui Fu carefully, and then said with a smile, "The fifteenth sister is here to see my father?" It's a slack. ”

Cui Fu had a smug smile on her face, she nodded her head, and was about to rush into the courtyard, "Yes, I heard that the fifth uncle is critically ill, how can I, as a niece, not come and take a look?" ”

She paused, "Oh, by the way, my mother asked me to come and see if the ninth sister has anything urgent to do, and she has never kowtowed to her grandmother." ”

One of Treve's feet had just stepped into the courtyard, but the other foot couldn't lift it alive.

I saw those stout mothers-in-law under the guidance of Cui Ling's eyes. Change the cowardice and hesitation just now. Suddenly he became very determined. They stood tall in the doorway, refusing to back down a single step.

It's like a human wall, and it bounces people out.

Trev's face changed, and her voice shouted sharply, "What are you guys going to do here?" The ninth sister is here, and you won't let me in? ”

She turned her face to Cui Ling and complained, "Ninth sister, you see, the servants of your fifth room are so rude. How dare you do this to me! ”

Cui Ling laughed, "Yes, our servants in the fifth room are so rude." ”

She shrugged her shoulders, her gaze suddenly became cold, "Anyway, the servants in our fifth room have been inscribed with the crime of rudeness, so we can't bear the false name in vain, let's be rude once." ”

The servant woman at the head heard the meaning of Cui Ling's words, and her attitude became stronger, "Miss Fifteen, please go back, our fifth master is still resting." Madame and young lady have just returned, and they don't have the time to entertain you. ”

Trive couldn't believe it. Cui Ling would condone the servants to be rude to her.

She trembled with anger, "Sister Jiu, you actually treat me like this, I'm going to tell my mother!" ”

Cui Ling smiled lightly at her and waved her hand again, "Fifteenth sister is really good, go back and tell your mother, the people from Xingwangfa and Sheng Changji saw her yesterday!" ”

She turned and said to the servants, "My father needs to recuperate, and if there are any more idle people waiting for him, he is not allowed to let anyone in, not even the door, it is really noisy." ”

When the servant woman heard this, she immediately commanded the crowd to push Trive out, and then slammed the door shut.

Not surprisingly, from outside the door, there was a scolding voice from Cui Fu in anger and a scream of rage.

Although the servant woman at the head was happy for a while, she was still a little uneasy in the end.

She looked at Cui Ling's face cautiously, and then asked, "Grandma Jiu, you said that if we do this, will we cause trouble?" Miss Fifteen has always been a willful and domineering character, and Mrs. Shizi spoils her again......"

The implication is that I am afraid that Miss Fifteen will settle accounts after the autumn, although it will be quick for a while, but it will bring a lot of trouble later, which will outweigh the losses.

Cui Ling raised her head very confidently, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Her eyes moved slightly, "Mrs. Shizi didn't dare to mess around this time." ”

To go to the Marquis of Guangling's Mansion, it is necessary to pass through Changle Street.

Although most of the shops close at sunset, restaurants and pharmacies are not among them, and restaurants are open all night long, and pharmacies do not close until late at night.

Xingwangfa is the most lively restaurant on the corner of Changle Street, and Sheng Changji is the most prosperous pharmacy.

When Mrs. Shizi returned to her parents' house last night, although it was already dark, the carriage of Anningbo's Mansion was brilliant, and the emblem was easy to recognize when it passed by the lighted wine shop.

In addition, Mrs. Shizi's carriage is different, and only Mrs. An Ningbo and Mrs. Shizi have this qualification to ride in a special carriage, so a discerning person only needs a glance to distinguish it.

In order to prevent Mrs. Shizi from planting a blame on her, Cui Ling specially asked someone to go out to inquire.

Sure enough, some of the guests who drank wine in the shopkeeper of Xingwangfa had seen Mrs. Shizi's carriage, and some people asked suspiciously, at this time, Mrs. Shizi rushed to her mother's house, whether something happened to the Marquis of Guangling.

The night guard next to Sheng Changji also saw the carriage.

Coupled with the pedestrians who came and went along the way, there were at least a dozen witnesses who could prove what time the prince passed through Anle Street last night.

As for when the Zhao family will leave the Anning Bo Mansion, they only need to interrogate Menzi well, and the answer will naturally be clear.

If Mrs. Zhao had to pull Mrs. An Ningbo's death on Cui Ling and Goro, Cui Ling would naturally be able to fight back mercilessly.

She has physical evidence in hand, she only needs one sentence, if the eldest aunt didn't do anything wrong, why did she hide out in the middle of the night?

Mrs. Shizi was overwhelmed.

Cui Ling asked Cui Fu to bring a message to Mrs. Shizi, which was not a provocation, but a final reminder.

For the temporary tranquility of the fifth room, she didn't want to provoke a war immediately, even if it was a victorious trip, but the fight in the nest was very tiring, and it was easy to spread the war to the innocent, if she could, she still planned to dissipate this smoke of gunfire.

That sentence is just a warning.

Mrs. Shizi was still weak in the end, so she no longer continued to entangle with Cui Ling, and later An went to guard the spirit, and she didn't hear anyone gossip about Wufang and Cui Ling anymore.

Mrs. An Ningbo's funeral, due to the disunity of the children and the ignorance of An Ningbo, can only be barely said to be decent, at least with the silver advanced by Gorou several times, the apparent honor guard is still complete.

But the discerning person still saw at a glance the constraints and embarrassment of the Anning Bofu.

In addition to money, there are people.

There are hundreds of people in Anningbo's mansion, but the whole funeral, the person who can really be called able to do things, but only Cui Jin, the eldest grandson of the long house, is alone, and the rest are like relatives who come to visit, standing by and not saying anything, and sometimes adding trouble.

Although Cui Jin is capable, it is the first time to handle such a major event.

He had no experience and wanted to seek advice from his cousins who had been through it, but they were all confused.

But if he did something wrong, those who refused to give any help stood up and blamed him.

Cui Jin is tired, but he can't redeem the silver in the account room, even a good woman can't cook without rice, not to mention that he is a young man who has never handled major matters at hand?

He went to find Mrs. Shizi to open a treasury, even if there was no cash, it was good to take some antiques out first as an emergency.

But Mrs. Shizi refused to let go, blindly biting that if it was known that the Anning Mansion would hold a funeral for the old lady, she would go out and be a bad thing, even if she refused.

Cui Jin was very angry, but he also knew the situation in the house, the population was large and the income was small, and there was always a shortage of cash in the account room, and he had already eaten the grain of the New Year.

He couldn't pick out half of the son from Mrs. Shizi, so he had to use the private room next to his wife first.

But Mrs. An Ningbo's funeral is regulated, and a lot of use is not to say that it can be reduced, even if the momentum in the house has long been weak, but the money that should be spent, and the style that should be placed are indispensable.

How can Cui Jin's wife's private room be enough?

In desperation, Cui Jin had no choice but to ask Gorou again.

In fact, Gorou has always been a very generous man, and the Yuan family is also rich and doesn't care about spending money, so he has never cared about money among his friends, and he is very atmospheric.

But this time in Anningbo's Mansion, when he saw the injustice suffered by Wufang, it was easy to think of the days when his beloved wife was not out of the pavilion, and he would inevitably have some resentment in his heart about this place.

Therefore, when Cui Jin begged to come over, he did not give the silver as casually as he had always been.

Although he is still satisfied with Cui Jin's character and sympathizes with Cui Jin's experience in the past few days, he will not be generous because of this compassion.

Cui Jin also knew that his mother was too unkind to Wufang, and he was embarrassed to beg his sister-in-law with a dead face, so after thinking about it for a long time, he had to grit his teeth and say, "Ninth brother-in-law, let's do it, you lend me this silver for urgent use first, and I will exchange it for something of equivalent value." ”

He swore that "in short, I will never let the ninth brother-in-law suffer." ”

Cui Jin's little servant took a few famous paintings from the previous dynasty from the treasury, he handed them to Wulang and said, "Ninth brother-in-law, you see, this is the pen and ink of Emperor Xuan of the Jing Dynasty, Emperor Xuan is talented, both civil and military, this Danqing is really superb, and it deserves to be handed down to the world." ”

He coughed, "This painting was originally priceless, even if it was given two thousand gold, it would not be sold, but I will not hide it from you in this situation at home." Two thousand taels of silver, the ninth brother-in-law will take it first, and I will put the painting to you! ”

Gorou was just about to speak, when he heard the curtain move lightly.

Cui Ling came out of the back room and said to Cui Jin with a smile, "Three thousand taels of silver, this painting is for me, it is for sale, not for arrival, if the lobby brother agrees, I will ask someone to get the silver." (To be continued......)
