Cui Ling was stunned, "Ugly? ”

Xiling is located in the extreme west, the wind and sand are big, and the rain is less, perhaps for this reason, Xiling people are born more tall and rough.

In addition to their deeper facial features, their skin is also darker.

But the exotic atmosphere actually has a different flavor.

It's like the two little girls in Pingxi Houfu just now, although their facial features are not delicate enough, they have a spacious and refreshing temperament, which is incompatible with the word ugly.

Ke'er, such a little big little kid, actually said that they were ugly......

Cui Ling couldn't cry or laugh, pinched Ke'er's little nose and said, "How old are you, do you know how beautiful and ugly you are?" ”

While he was talking, Gorou came into the house.

He smiled and asked, "I heard you teach Ke'er a lesson while I'm still outside, what's wrong with the little one?" ”

Cui Ling told Gorou what happened just now, "You see that he is so young and picky about other people's appearances, how can he get it when he grows up?" ”

She also counted on Gorou to teach her son a lesson, judging people by their appearance.

As a result, Gorou laughed and kissed Ke'er several times, "It's a good thing that my son knows how to be beautiful and ugly at such a young age." ”

He took Ke'er over, "Son, Dad will take you to bed." ”

Cui Ling opened her mouth and watched in a daze as Gorou and Ke'er walked towards the house, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in her heart.

She was desperate for this face-looking world.

The next day, the old lady asked to see the street scene of Xiling City, she has not been back for decades, and those familiar scenery has changed dramatically.

Pingxihou replied with a smile, "Where does my sister want to go?" I'll take you with me. ”

There was a hidden worry on Shizi's face, and he saw that there was no one else in the house. He said bluntly. "I shouldn't have disturbed my aunt's interest. But for a few days, I still rested at home for a while. ”

He paused, "Last night, I ordered Yin's mansion to go to the water, and someone took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Ling Yin's study. ”

Goro's eyes lit up slightly, "I don't know if what Ling Yin Fu lost is an important thing?" ”

He wanted to accompany the old lady to Xiling, and the emperor was not allowed, but during that time, he happened to receive a tip-off that the remnants of King Ning's rebellion in the past had some movement in Xiling City.

Xiling City was originally an important place for city defense, because it bordered the Western Regions. So the location is key, and it is particularly eye-catching.

The emperor suspected that King Ning's rebellion and alliance with the people of the Western Regions would be detrimental to the Sheng Dynasty, so he took this opportunity to ask Wulang to come to Xiling to investigate.

King Ning has already subjugated the law, even if he leaves an heir who has not been included in the family tree, there is no need to worry.

But what is worrying is that the Western Regions are eyeing each other.

The Western Regions border the Turks, and if the Western Regions develop against Dasheng, the ambitious Turks will definitely refuse to let go of such an opportunity, and when Dasheng suffers from the enemy on his back, I am afraid that he will lose a lot.

Shizi shook his head. "Ling Yin's mansion was not stolen except for the study, although some correspondence was taken from the study. But Ling Yin said that they are not important objects. ”

His face became serious, "I think, it must be something that people want in the Yin Mansion, those people don't get it this time, they will definitely not give up." ”

It means that these days have not been peaceful, and it is inconvenient for the old lady to go out when he is old.

Pingxi Hou seemed to have just learned about this, and he glared at Shizi, "Why didn't you tell me that Ling Yin's mansion was stolen before?" ”

He said angrily, "I told people to prepare the carriage, and you told me that there was chaos outside, and I couldn't go!" ”

Shizi hurriedly explained, "Father, father, listen to me, it's not that my son has the intention to hide it, it's just that you drank too much last night and slept like ...... Like, I can't wake up no matter how I scream......"

He immediately sensed that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately shook his head, "Ah, father, listen to me, I didn't mean that!" ”

Pingxi Hou snorted coldly, "In front of your nephew and daughter-in-law, I won't bother with you, wait until you come to the study at night to receive the punishment, it's not like that, even your own father dares to make it!" ”

He turned his head to the old lady and said, "Sister, then you will rest in the mansion for two days." Don't worry, your brother and I are not doing things, so we will find out who those unknown boys are in two days! ”

Gorou thought about it for a while, and then said, "Uncle, uncle, take a step to speak!" ”

In the quiet study, Pingxi Hou muttered for a long time, "You mean, the emperor received a tip-off that King Ning Yu was colluding with the people of the Western Regions to cause trouble in Xiling?" ”

His brow furrowed, "But I haven't noticed any movement lately. ”

Shizi also said, "Except for the theft that happened in the Yin Mansion last night, the previous Xiling City had a smooth journey, and the road was not left behind, but there was no situation of rebellion at all. ”

He paused, "However, Xiling City borders the Western Regions, and the two countries can trade as long as there are documents issued by the government. ”

Gorou thought for a while and said, "Hearing my uncle and uncle say this, it seems that someone deliberately wants to muddy the water and let the emperor make a move." ”

He took a deep breath, "Sure enough, this trip to Xiling, I've come to the right place!" ”

If there really was any trouble, then no one would know better than Pingxihou, who was guarding Xiling.

Pingxihou has been in Xiling all his life, just like the sharpest falcon on the grassland, and no trace of wind and grass here can escape his pursuit.

Even he didn't know anything about the Dao, so someone must have deliberately confused his vision.

But, who is it? Why do you want to do this?

Pingxi Hou Shizi said, "Cousin, don't worry, don't dare to say anything else, but as long as it is on the territory of Xiling City, our Su family still has the final say." ”

He glanced at him, "As long as there is such a suspicious person, no matter where he is, even if he digs three feet into the ground, we will definitely find out the person!" ”

As long as you find someone, then everything will be solved.

After this stirring, the plan to go to the market was naturally canceled.

Mrs. Rong was afraid that Lao Taijun and Cui Ling would be bored, so she immediately thought of other ways to relieve boredom.

Playing horse hanging is a way to relieve boredom between noble ladies handed down in the previous dynasty, and Shengjing City also has to play, but the noble ladies of the upper class dislike playing horse hanging will affect the image of dignity, so this kind of game is generally popular among lower-class women.

However, Xiling City does not pay much attention to the image of rules here, and playing horse hanging is an activity that is enthusiastic from the wife of the prince of the Hou Mansion to the lady of the noble lady of the Yin Mansion and the common people.

As soon as the old lady heard that she was going to fight the horse hanging, she became energetic, "Speaking of which, I haven't played since I married in Shengjing City, if it weren't for the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, I would have forgotten it." ”

She said to Cui Ling with great interest, "Little fifth daughter-in-law, you don't know what to do, we people in Xiling City, whether it is the eldest lord or the little daughter-in-law, or the young lady, or even the child, there is no one who can't beat the horse!" ”

At that time, the father of the Queen Mother served as Ling Yin in Xiling City, and formed close friends with the eldest lady of Pingxi Hou Mansion, that is, Lao Taijun, and the friendship between the two also started from playing horse hanging.

The old lady recalled the past with great embarrassment, "The Queen Mother is now the most noble woman in the world, but if she knows that I can still go back to Xiling City to fight a horse hanging, she must be jealous of me." ”

She hurriedly greeted Cui Ling, "Come, little fifth daughter-in-law, you also come to learn." ”

Lao Taijun and the Rong family, as well as the two ladies of the Pingxi Hou Mansion, sat at a table, and let Cui Ling sit and watch.

Because it was a demonstration, in the first few games, everyone played slowly, and it could be seen that several ladies were deliberately humble.

But once the desire to win is stimulated, the battle becomes fierce, and when you hit the back, the speed is getting faster and more exciting.

Cui Ling looked at it twice and immediately realized that this was playing mahjong!

Her eyes were hot, and she secretly asked Su Qian, who was also watching the battle, "Cousin, is this horse crane handed down from the previous dynasty?" ”

Cui Ling is a little unsure of the timeline of the Dasheng Dynasty she is in now, as far as she knows, horse hanging is a kind of solitaire, which only became popular after the Ming Dynasty, and then after a long time of evolution, it slowly became a mahjong card.

But the table between the old lady and the prince is obviously not playing cards, but square cards made of bamboo chips, and the strips engraved on them are too familiar.

This is definitely a fashion brought by a chaotic traverser!

Su Qian smiled and nodded, "Yes, I heard that it was invented by the former dynasty's Xuanhou!" ”

She was a warm-hearted girl, and as soon as she explained it, she explained in detail the origin and predecessor of the horse crane, as well as the development of several changes and rules.

At the end, he said very excitedly, "Fifth sister-in-law, why don't we go to a table too?" ”

There are many female dependents accompanying her on the left and right, and she can make a table by pulling a few at will, and her hands suddenly itch.

Cui Ling couldn't help laughing, she thought it was a god, it turned out to be Yue'er!

I have never seen anyone play mahjong in Shengjing City for sixteen or seventeen years before, and sometimes I am bored and think about getting such a thing, but it is too laborious to explain the rules, and she is too lazy, so I didn't do it.

It's a good thing that she didn't do it at the time, otherwise if people asked, she would still be complacent and say that she was bored and came up with something she came up with, wouldn't she be laughed out of her big teeth?

Unexpectedly, Yue'er is also like her, a fellow believer who is obsessed with mahjong.

Cui Ling actually thought it was quite strange, her work in her previous life required her to learn mahjong, which is the easiest skill to be close to others, so she practiced mahjong skills hard.

Playing mahjong has also become the focus of her work for a long time, and it has slowly become a habit and interest.

Wasn't Ke Yue'er a surgeon in her previous life?

She once said that she was very busy at work and didn't even have time to fall in love, so why did she still have time to play mahjong?

Cui Ling thought to herself, when she returned to Shengjing City, she must find Yue'er to come out and ask for a few more games!

Just thinking about it, she was dragged by Su Qian to the next room, and followed the two sisters-in-law who had met last night to form a new table.

After listening to the rules, she felt that it was not much different from her previous life, so she modestly said to Su Qian and several sisters-in-law, "I didn't play well, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me!" (To be continued......)
