Concubine Li knew that the Pei family had been inquiring about Cui Xiushan recently, so she immediately shifted her firepower angrily: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Pei hasn't gone out for a long time, why did she come to the Cui family today?" ”

was suddenly named, Mrs. Pei was very reserved, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it, I came here today to talk about marriage." ”

"Oh? Whose marriage? The girl of the Cui family has already been married? Concubine Li kept asking, even though she knew that Mrs. Pei was also here to talk about Cui Xiushan's marriage.

Mrs. Pei smiled shyly, looked at Mrs. Cui and replied: "Although the Pei family is not a big family, but my father-in-law is now in a high position, and he can barely talk about family affairs with the Cui family. ”

These words made Li Guifei pull her lips, and said sarcastically: "But now that Cui Xiushan is a fragrant bait, and he has already taken the lead in the cousin of Mrs. Pingguohou." ”

"That's what the mother said." Mrs. Pei is still gentle and dignified, and there is nothing unusual on her face.

She glanced at everyone in the room a few times, smiled toothlessly and said: "I did mean kiss, the Cui family, Xiushan is excellent, but the Cui family is not the only one, I look at it, Xiaoli is not bad, although he is not outstanding, but Zhixuan is also average, besides, he knew him when he was a child, and now he is older, isn't it just right?" ”

Concubine Li and Old Madam Cui both showed surprised looks, but Wen Qingzhu's face was as usual.

She lifted the teacup in her hand and took a sip.

According to the news she got, Pei Yu also took a fancy to Cui Xiushan, but she didn't expect Mrs. Pei to come over to say that it was also Cui Li.

Now it seems that Mrs. Pei is of the same mind as her daughter.

When she put down the teacup, Mrs. Pei began to say again: "It's not a secret, although this capital is big, but in the past few years, there are fewer and fewer suitable people. ”

Soon, Concubine Li and Old Madam Cui both set their eyes on Wen Qingzhu.

Seeing that she was very calm, she obviously knew about it.

Old Madam Cui didn't say anything, but Concubine Li Guifei was so angry that she wanted to have a seizure on the spot.

Mrs. Pei got up quickly, walked to Mrs. Cui, and said with a smile: "These days, the affairs of the Cui family have also been hard old lady, I heard that you haven't gone out for a walk, just two days later, Zhixuan is going to Fengguo Temple to offer incense, and by the way, pray for the victims, can the old lady be free?" ”

This is to put it mildly, compared to Li Guifei's aggressiveness, Mrs. Cui has been used a lot.

She nodded immediately: "Since it is to pray for the disaster victims, the old body will also follow, if Li'er is free, I will also bring him." ”

"That's great!" Mrs. Pei thanked her, and turned her head to let the maid present all the gifts she had sent.

The servants came in, the maids were carrying, and the servants were carrying.

At a glance, there were enough gifts for eight kinds.

Mrs. Cui is old and has many rules, and when she saw Mrs. Pei so good, her mouth bloomed with joy.

Wen Qingzhu was calm, but Li Guifei was so angry that her mouth was crooked.

Before Mrs. Pei said goodbye, Concubine Li finally couldn't sit still and got up to say goodbye.

Mrs. Cui didn't like her either, so she politely said that she would not send her away, which completely offended Concubine Li and immediately shook off a cold face.

Mrs. Pei has done everything that should be done, and Wen Qingzhu is also going to start to say something.

Jasmine took a five-hundred-year-old ginseng, and Wen Qingzhu personally held it and sent it to Mrs. Cui: "This old ginseng is what I got from Cangzhou, four or five hundred years old, it is relatively rare, and there are no old people at home, so I sent it to the old lady to recuperate, and I will ask you to take good care of Xiushan when the time comes." ”

As soon as Wen Qingzhu explained, Mrs. Pei's eyes immediately turned red.

When she was young, she was fortunate enough to see this kind of old ginseng, but it was something that could not be found.

There is not necessarily anything in the palace medicine storehouse.

Who knew that Wen Qingzhu casually took out one, and compared her all at once.

Looking at Mrs. Cui's trembling hands, her face was full of excuses: "This is not good!" I'm just an old woman, how can I need such a precious thing. ”

Mrs. Pei clenched her veil tightly, angry in her heart.

But for the sake of her daughter's happiness, she still endured it, and even said a few words with her: "Since it is Mrs. Fu Hou's intention, the old lady will accept it." ”

With Mrs. Pei's help, Mrs. Cui couldn't refuse, so she could only force her subordinates.

She still asked worriedly: "It's not good to change into a new body now, won't this old ginseng be sent to the palace?" ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry about the old lady, the emperor has it, this is what I prepared for the old lady alone." ”

Now Mrs. Cui is really hard to refuse.

Mrs. Pei next to her trembled, but she never said anything, just found a gap and left.

Anyway, she said everything she had to say.

If Wen Qingzhu didn't intervene, her performance was the most satisfying to the old lady.

As soon as Mrs. Pei left, Cui Xiushan pushed the door out of the compartment.

Without others, Wen Qingzhu was much more relaxed: "What about Cui Li?" Now that Mrs. Pei has personally penetrated the news, it is not a way for him to hide like this. ”

Cui Xiushan is also full of bags: "I don't know, Cui Li's temperament, Mrs. also knows it, it looks good to talk, but in fact, he has a big idea." ”

Old Madam Cui thought for a while: "Then does he have a girl he likes?" ”

Cui Xiushan shook her head, and she looked at Wen Qingzhu again.

"Old lady, I really don't know about this, but he has been in the barracks for a long time, I can go and ask Fu Lie if there may be any news."

Old Madam Cui nodded distressedly: "That's troublesome, the uncle went like this, leaving only this single seedling, if he doesn't want to, I don't dare to force him." ”

After returning to the Hou Mansion, as soon as Wen Qingzhu entered the door, he received a message from outside.

said that Concubine Li Guifei did not go back to the palace directly, but went to King Ning's mansion.

I stayed inside for two hours, and when I came out, I was in a much better mood.

Wen Qingzhu groaned and asked Jasmine, "Have you seen Princess Ning come out and walk around these days?" ”

"No, only the princess's mother personally saw it once, and then the Lei family wanted to go, but they were all rejected by King Ning, I'm afraid there is something wrong here."

Jasmine looked worried, Lei Qiniang is a girl with an excellent personality. Ninety-six flavors

It's a pity that he married King Ning.

Two days later, Mrs. Cui Pei really made an appointment with Mrs. Cui and went to Fengguo Temple to offer incense.

It's just that Cui Li still didn't go, and Fu Lie ordered someone to send the news back.

said that he had never seen anything special about Cui Li and which girl.

Wen Qingzhu rubbed the corners of his forehead, this is also true, in the barracks, it is either an old woman who washes clothes or a military actor.

It would be a pity if the Cui family fell like this.

In the afternoon of this day, the housekeeper of the Cui family hurriedly came, saying that when Mrs. Cui was going up the mountain, she met an assassin, and now the old lady and Mrs. Pei were seriously injured, so she asked Wen Qingzhu to come over.

When Wen Qingzhu heard this, he hurriedly followed the housekeeper out.

When he arrived at Cui's house, Cui Li was already waiting in front of the bed.

When Wen Qingzhu passed, he saw half of the old ginseng on the table, and there was still a smell of blood in it.

A familiar grandmother came out and hurried inside to greet Wen Qingzhu.

Cui Li got up and gave way of his position, Wen Qingzhu took a closer look, and his heart sank, the old lady's leg was broken.

Hurt muscles and bones for a hundred days, not to mention the old lady who has been beaten for many years.

Wen Qingzhu asked the maid to take care of it, walked out by herself, and asked Cui Li, who was reading the prescription, "What's the matter?" ”

"Some people don't want anyone from the Cui family to get married." Cui Li's voice was very depressed, with a kind of understanding.

Wen Qingzhu felt that something was wrong, and called Cui Li outside the house again.

After retiring from the next person, she asked seriously: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Cui Li didn't speak this time, his expression was very serious.

Wen Qingzhu couldn't wait to slap him to death, and said angrily: "It's all this time, you can't bear to watch your seventh grandmother toss for you like this?!" ”

Cui Li's expression darkened, and he whispered for a long time: "It should be Pei Yu." ”

"Pei Yu? Isn't it King Ning? Wen Qingzhu was stunned, what is going on?

Cui Li showed a hint of ridicule on his face: "Back then, Pei Yu wanted to use Pei Zhixuan to marry me, but my great-grandfather refused, and now the situation of the Cui family, of course, it is more advantageous for Pei Zhixuan to marry Xiushan, he probably can't wait, after all, Pei Zhixuan will never get the position of the queen." ”

After listening to his words, Wen Qingzhu didn't know what to say for a while.

Back then, Pei Yu was a charcoal in the snow, and the idea was to let the Cui family slowly become a part of the Pei family, after all, Cui Li was far inferior to Pei Zhixuan.

Now, Cui Xiushan holds the power of the Cui family, and he will definitely support Cui Li's children and grandchildren in the future.

If Pei Zhixuan marries Cui Xiushan, although he is not as good as Cui Li, Cui Xiushan is really up, but he is an outsider, so if he wants to continue, he can only rely on the Pei family.

During the period when Cui Xiushan was in charge, the resources of the Cui family could completely become the Pei family.

This is Pei Yu's good calculation.

It's a pity that the children of the year have grown up, even if they can't deal with Pei Yu, they still know Pei Yu's purpose.

After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu said to him: "Wait a few more days, you all don't go out, when the little grandfather comes, Mrs. Cui should be fine." ”

Cui Li was stunned: "Lord Xue Gu is really coming?" ”

"That's nature, or do you think I'm meant to be fun?" Wen Qingzhu gave him a blank look.

After repeated confirmations, Cui Lixi was overjoyed.

As soon as this incident came out, speculation arose outside.

Most of them speculated that it was Concubine Li Guifei, the king of Ning, and seeing that the marriage could not be completed, they simply let the Cui family have a funeral.

Li Guifei, who got the news, was so angry that she fainted directly.

When I woke up again, it was not King Ning sitting beside me, but Jiang Yijia.

She held the medicine bowl in her hand and said with concern, "How does the mother feel?" ”

"You...... What are you doing here? What about your brother? Li Guifei was a little weak-hearted, and she hid many things from Jiang Yijia.

Jiang Yijia's smile became cold: "When something happens, I help my mother deal with it, and when it's okay, it's my mother who helps my brother deal with it, and my mother can't be so biased." ”

"Yijia!" Li Guifei was a little flustered, grabbed Jiang Yijia's sleeve and said, "Listen to me, your brother has struggled for so many years, and what he is waiting for is the day in the future, how easy is it for you to let him give up suddenly?" Tell me, if you were in your brother's position, would you give up? ”

Jiang Yijia silently put down the medicine bowl, looked at her quietly, and said, "I will give up." ”

Li Guifei was speechless for a while.

At the end of Jingping Palace, Wen Qingzhu was playing chess with Concubine Wei.

After a while, Bai Hagi came over and brought the news from the other side of Chengming Palace.

Wei Guifei said with some pity: "Yijia is an understanding person, but it's a pity that Li Guifei's mother and son are on the shelf, and the power that is close at hand is indeed difficult to give up." ”

Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "Whether you give up or not, in fact, it depends on the person." ”

"How?" Wei Guifei came to be interested.

Wen Qingzhu put down a chess piece, raised his head and said with a smile: "Du Weiniang has entered Beijing." ”

Two days later, Mrs. Lei found Wen Qingzhu.

openly and secretly inquired about Du Weiniang's affairs.

Wen Qingzhu knew everything and said everything, and after hearing this, Mrs. Lei was a little surprised: "Then this Du girl looks like a good one." ”

"She's a good one, of course." Wen Qingzhu also agreed.
