When he arrived at the gate of Wan'an Hall, Xiao Yu stopped and said to the three Cui family members who followed behind him, "How many. Wait here first, and the slave will go in and say goodbye. ”

"I'm tired." Cui Shi nodded again and again, and only after Xiaoyu left did he not suppress the joy in his heart and laughed, and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect that dead old lady to have such a capable brother, if I had said it earlier, we wouldn't have lived such a hard life for so long." ”

A little girl who looked like she was seven or eight years old behind her, holding Cui's sleeve with some fear, and called timidly, "Mother...... Is this really my grandmother's home? ”

"Of course, why would they take us in!" Another little girl who was older than her had envy and joy in her eyes, and said out firmly.

"Qing'er is right, in the future, this will not only be your grandmother's home, but also your home." Cui Shi touched the head of the older girl with a smile, and his heart blossomed. But suddenly I thought of something, the smile on the corner of my mouth gradually disappeared, and my brows frowned.

What if this Shangshu Lord refuses to admit them?!

In order to come to Yanjing City to find relatives, they sold all the houses in their hometown to make entanglements!

Cui Shi was a little uneasy in his heart, his eyes followed Xiaoyu's figure, and saw her all the way to the door of the house, and said something to the girl in green at the door of the house, only to see the girl in green glance in their direction, and then nodded and entered the room.

After a while, the girl in green came out and nodded to Xiao Yu, and then saw Xiao Yu walking towards them, "The old lady invites a few people into the house." ”

Cui nodded hurriedly and followed Xiaoyu in.

Xiao Yu walked in front, brought the Cui family into the door, leaned over and saluted, "Old lady, madam, these are the ones who want to see you, old lady." ”

The old lady glanced at the few people standing under the hall, bowed her head slightly, and then raised her hand to let Xiaoyu go back to the Zhao family to serve.

Entering the room, Cui Shi stood down with a sneer, looked around the room with his eyes, and finally landed on the old lady in the upper seat. Cui Shi summed it up in his heart and guessed that this was his mother-in-law's sister, Mrs. Su of Shangshu.

This Mrs. Shangshu looks really young, she seems to have heard the little girl call her "old lady" just now, well, is such a young lady already an old lady?

When I heard my mother-in-law talk about it before, this Su family should be thirty or forty years old, but now they have been away from home for more than ten years, and they are more than fifty years old. This Su family looks like he is only in his thirties, and the charm still exists, and this is really different if the rich people are properly maintained.

Thinking about it, my mother-in-law is two or three years younger than Su's, but she can take care of the house, worry about her livelihood all day long, and her wrinkled appearance is really incomparable with the one in front of her.

If the mother-in-law hadn't died, the two would never think that they were sisters when they stood together, but like a mother and daughter!

If it weren't for the accidental death of her husband, my mother-in-law couldn't stand the blow and fell ill, and when she was dying, she regretted that she had done wrong and mistakenly believed slander. If I had listened to my brother's persuasion, I would definitely not have lived like this in this life.

It was at this time that the Cui family learned that he had a relative who was an official in Yanjing City.

After Cui's mind was active when he found out, he knocked on Cui Wang's information about this brother from time to time.

After Cui Wang's death and hastily took care of Cui Wang's funeral, Cui took his two daughters all the way to Yanjing City to find relatives.

It's just that Yanjing City is big, and it's not easy to find someone. Yanjing City is full of officials, and if you catch a random person, you can tell you about the well-known officials in Yanjing City.

Fortunately, Wang Wanwan passed away not long ago, and the funeral was actually done at her mother's house, although this matter did not set off a big storm, but it also became a topic of conversation for the people after tea and dinner.

It was because Cui's family didn't suffer much, and after saying the name of "Wang Hongsheng", he successfully found the gate of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion.

When she saw Xiaoyu, the maid who came to pick them up into the mansion, she thought it was a girl in the mansion, and when she was about to salute, she heard the porter who looked at them and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaoyu, why are you here, are you going out of the mansion to buy for Madame?" ”

"No, it was Madame who asked me to lead these people into the house," Xiao Yu replied with a smile, walked quickly to the three of Cui's family, paused but did not salute, only bowed slightly, and said slightly respectfully, "The slave is the maid of the eldest lady in the house, and the eldest lady specially asked the slave and maid to greet a few, please come with the slave and maid." ”

Seeing this, Cui's hurriedly pulled his two daughters into the house with Xiaoyu. This way I came to see that the house was full of carved beams and paintings, and the ground was covered with fine marble slabs, and it was also Shangshu Mansion, and I heard that it was a rich and powerful family!

As long as they please the person in front of them, they will be able to live in such a house in the future, and they will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Cui Shi suppressed the excitement in his heart, raised his eyes to look at the woman on the first seat, with a somewhat flattering smile on his face, and guessed, "Presumably this is Mrs. Shangshu, right?" ”

"Old lady, you may not know me, I am the master of your house, that is, the daughter-in-law of Cui Wang, the sister of Lord Shangshu, my name is Cui Yu."

Originally, Cui's little abacus in his heart was very good, but at this time, he was stunned when he saw that people were completely ignoring him.

"It's not me boasting, old lady, you really don't look like your mother-in-law's sister, at most you're only in your thirties. I've seen so many people, and you're the only one who is so blessed. Not only are the children not to mentioned, but the children are also very capable, and they are all promising brothers! ”

Cui originally thought that everyone likes to listen to compliments, and she praised people first, and the old lady must be happy, but she didn't expect that the old lady didn't seem to like people praising her.

I don't know if she was wrong, the old lady seemed to be a little angry.

"Old lady, did I say something wrong? If I say something wrong, don't be angry with me, old lady. I'm just a countryman, I don't know the rules, you ......" Cui Shi said embarrassedly, and finally his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped his voice in a sneer.

The old lady looked displeased, sat there without saying a word, staring at the three members of the Cui family up and down with her eyes, and saw that the Cui family and several people were stunned in their hearts, only to feel that the old lady's eyes were similar to the county magistrate in the county, which was very terrifying.

Cui Shi involuntarily lowered his head, like a slave to be scrutinized by the master's family. The two girls behind her also looked around with panicked eyes, and reached out to pull Cui's cuffs to tell her to say less.

"Okay, don't boast yet." When the old lady saw that Cui Shi had stopped, she raised her voice and asked, "You said that your mother-in-law is the master's sister, but what proof do you have?" ”

"Naturally, there is." When Cui Shi heard this, he hurriedly said out loud, carefully took out a fine plum blossom glazed hairpin from his arms, and handed it to the old lady, "This hairpin was specially given to her daughter-in-law as a token when her mother-in-law was dying." ”

This hairpin is indeed Cui Wang's, but it was not given to her by Cui Wang's own hands, but she took possession of it after Cui Wang's death.
