Chapter X

But none of that matters, and no one will know about it anyway.

As long as the old lady believes it, the corners of Cui's mouth unconsciously rose up.

The old lady took the hairpin and looked down carefully.

This hairpin is indeed to thank the sister-in-law for her righteous words, which she personally selected and gave to her sister by the master.

Although so many years have passed, this hairpin is still well preserved, which shows how much the owner loves it.

Not long after she got married, the concubine of the old lady's family was interested in her, and when she pulled and pulled her in the garden in broad daylight, she was seen by the subordinates and made trouble in front of the old lady.

The old lady is confused and partial, not only did she not say that her son's half sentence was bad, but she spoke harshly to her, and almost asked the master to give her a letter of resignation to leave her, everyone just watched the excitement and no one helped her speak, but at this time, the master's sixth sister stood up.

is obviously a soft and weak little girl, and I don't know where I got the courage to stand in front of her to speak for her, and she also angered the old lady and beat her family.

What kind of virtue is that concubine in the house, Wang Hongsheng knows very well, and he doesn't listen to the old lady's sophistry at all. Instead, he left with her after a call, but it was a pity that the sixth sister was affected.

The old lady's thoughts gradually drifted away, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses, raised her eyes and nodded slightly at the confirmation gaze of the Zhao family, and recognized this relative.

Knowing the old lady's meaning, Zhao smiled and said, "A few people have come from afar, but what is important in the clan?" ”

Cui's face was pale, and he tearfully told his tragic experience, which caused several maids in the house to sympathize and silently wipe away tears.

Zhao sat quietly without saying a word, sipping a sip of tea from time to time, and looked at Cui with sideways eyes.

Cui's claimed to be a relative from the old man's family, although she, as a daughter-in-law, was in charge of the middle feed of Shangshu Mansion, but she couldn't make up her mind about this matter, so she could only leave it to the old lady to do.

From Cui's tirade, Zhao summed up her meaning in one sentence.

My husband died, my mother-in-law and father-in-law died, and I couldn't live in my hometown anymore and wanted to ask for help. Everyone is a relative, and we must help each other.

After Cui's pause, the old lady spoke, "These two little girls beside you are your daughters?" ”

"Yes," Cui Shi saw the old lady asking, raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, instantly smiled, pulled the two girls behind him and introduced, "Old lady, these are my two daughters, Sister Qing and Sister Xin." I've forgotten to introduce it after talking about it for so long, old lady, don't blame it. Quick, you say hello to the old lady. ”

Cui Qing had great eyesight, and immediately knelt on the ground with a puff, and respectfully performed a junior salute, and then straightened up and said with a smile, "Qing'er asks the old lady for peace, and I wish the old lady good health." ”

"Greetings to the old lady." Cui Xin glanced back at Cui's, saw Cui's face full of urging, turned around and did it again like her sister.

In comparison, Cui Qing's salute can be regarded as generous.

"Hmm." The old lady hummed lightly, but she didn't expect it to make Cui's like a chicken blood, and quickly asked her two daughters to serve the old lady, one pinched the old lady's shoulder, and the other beat the old lady's legs.

No one paid attention to her, and the Cui family didn't feel embarrassed, and she couldn't finish talking with one mouth, praising the old lady for her spirit and outstanding demeanor, and praising the Zhao family for her virtuous and filial piety, and even the furnishings and layouts in the house were full of praise.

The maids in the room were dumbfounded, and they didn't know where the woman had learned so many words of praise. That doesn't even pause.

Zhao also didn't understand, this was the first time they met, and after saying a few words, where did she see that she was virtuous and filial.

Such a flattering appearance is really not on the stage.

But seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, she naturally endured it.

The old lady gave Mama Su behind her a look, and saw Mama Su turn around and enter the inner room, and after a while, she came out with a mahogany box and handed it to Cui's face, "You come all the way here, this is a little bit of the old lady's heart." ”

"How embarrassing is this...... Although Cui Shi said that he was embarrassed, he took the box tightly and held it in his arms, feeling the heavy weight in the box, he smiled happily, and resisted the urge to open it on the spot.

Zhao also called Cui Qing and Cui Xin to the front and praised them for a few words, took their hands, and put the bracelet on their wrists on their wrists, "You came in a hurry, and I didn't get any news beforehand." I didn't have anything ready, so I just took this bracelet as a gift for you, so don't dislike it. ”

"Thank you, aunt."

"Cui's, in addition to some silver jewelry in this box, there is also the deed and title deed of a house on East Street, which is also given to you, so fortunately, there is a place to stay in Yanjing City."

At the end, the old lady turned her head to Zhao and said, "Finland, you send someone to clean up the house, so that it will not be inconvenient for the Cui family to clean up the women's house." ”

The old lady's meaning is obvious, although she agrees with these relatives, she doesn't let people live in the house, she just wants to give some money to settle in the house.

Although the mansion is not large, it is more than enough for three people.

"Old lady!" When Cui Shi heard this, he panicked, and the box in his hand was like a hot potato, "Please have mercy on the old lady, just leave us in Shangshu Mansion." If the three of us orphans and widows go out of Shangshu Mansion, how can we survive in this Yanjing City? ”

Cui Shi fell on the old lady, wanting to make the old lady change her mind, and when he found that the old lady had finished speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he had not heard what she said.

As soon as Zhao was about to speak, he saw Cui's body, who had been standing next to him, swaying, and he stumbled a few steps before falling to the ground softly, which frightened everyone present.

Cui Qing and Cui Xin were about to fall into tears, so they hurriedly pounced and pushed Cui's body, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

The old lady and the Zhao family also stood up and hurriedly asked people to ask for a doctor.

Cui's was originally pretending to be dizzy, but at this moment, he was pushed by his two daughters and was uncomfortable and almost exposed his flaws, so he secretly pulled Cui Qing's clothes with his hands when the house was in chaos.

Cui Qing's teary eyes were hazy, and when he saw Cui Shi tugging at the hem of his clothes and shaking, he instantly understood what his mother meant.
