Chapter 303: Staying in the Yang Family
As soon as Yang Huairen left, the tension in the main hall suddenly disappeared, and Yang Huaiyu smiled and said: "Cui Lang, eldest brother, he has this stinky temper, and he has no other bad intentions, I hope you don't be surprised." ”
Yang Shikui nodded and smiled: "What Daddy said is good, it's okay if my uncle is angry, it's all a family, there is no overnight feud, brother-in-law don't go to your heart." ”
Listening to the two of them so comforting, Cui Wenqing showed a wry smile and said: "This time the lady asked me to come to the Yang family to worship the elders, but unfortunately my grandfather was not in the house, but I saw the two uncles and Shikui's brother-in-law, and finally lived up to the trust of the lady, and the lady also asked me to bring some Fuzhou specialties and gifts, and asked the third uncle and Shikui's brother-in-law to distribute them to the Yang family later, and Wenqing said goodbye." ”
Yang Huaiyu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Listening to the meaning of the virtuous nephew, do you want to leave?" ”
Cui Wenqing nodded and said: "Originally, the intention of the lady was to let me settle in the Yang Mansion, but today, my uncle behaved like this, how could I be humiliated under the eaves?" also asked the third uncle to forgive him, and Rong Wenqing said goodbye and left. ”
Yang Shikui frowned and said, "Brother-in-law Wenqing, you are half of our Yang family, how can you live outside in Luoyang?" Regardless of anything else, if my grandfather knew about it, he would definitely be very angry. ”
"Shikui is right." Yang Huaiyu sighed lightly and said, "Actually, Wen Qing, the old man had something that he didn't want to say, but when he saw that you insisted on leaving, he had to say it." ”
Cui Wenqing has always had a good impression of this gentle third uncle Yang Huaiyu, and said with a smile when he heard this: "The third uncle says it's okay, the junior will definitely listen to him." ”
The smile on Yang Huaiyu's face disappeared and became extremely solemn: "As the eldest brother said just now, the matter of marrying your Ah Zhao is indeed without the consent of the elders of the Yang family, in fact, it is not that we want to stop this family matter, but because Ah Zhao's father died in the field, only her and Zhi Xiu's two daughters are left, the Yang family is reasonable, and they should be responsible for Ah Zhao's future, and they should not let her act arbitrarily." ”
"But you and Ah Zhao have a marriage contract first, she obeyed the orders of her deceased father, and we naturally don't blame her, but she shouldn't have omitted even telling us in advance about getting married, so what a shame would the Yang family be! also put her own sister to show off what a shame! ”
Cui Wenqing listened to this speech silently, and asked suspiciously: "How could the lady not tell you in advance, could it be that she has any troubles?" ”
Without waiting for Yang Huaiyu to answer, Yang Shikui already sighed lightly: "This matter is related to my uncle, in fact, he hopes that Ah Zhao can marry Sima Tang, standing in the position at that time, even I think Sima Tang is a good candidate, but ...... Grandfather disagreed. Ah Zhao is stubborn by nature, very rebellious, and wants to make her own decisions, so she married you hastily without going through us. ”
"I see." Cui Wenqing nodded, and sighed again and again, "My lady is really like a torch, and she has long seen that Sima Tang's house is not a good thing, even if she is an enemy of the entire Yang family, she will marry me as his wife." ”
Yang Huaiyu and Yang Shikui looked at each other, both feeling a little amused by his words.
Does Cui Wenqing feel too good about herself?
Yang Huaiyu sighed and said: "Now that the wood is in the boat, no matter what the rest of the Yang family thinks, anyway, it is to recognize Ah Zhao's choice, as for the eldest brother, it is only a matter of time before I forgive Ah Zhao for believing it, but Ah Zhao, this girl is also a ghost now, this time I didn't come forward, but I asked you to come to the Yang family, I am afraid that the purpose is also to let you turn the relationship with the Yang family for her, if you leave so badly, wouldn't it make the relationship between Ah Zhao and the Yang family worse?" ”
Cui Wenqing vaguely understood, and recalled that before leaving, he told him to visit the Yang family and not have any conflicts with the Yang family, so he suddenly came over and asked with a smile: "What does the third uncle mean is that I came to the Yang family this time because I was used as a spear by my mother?" ”
"I think it should be." Yang Huaiyu smiled, "The old man's words are all here, whether you can go or not is all in Cui Lang's thoughts." ”
Yang Shikui hurriedly held Cui Wenqing's hand and said: "Brother-in-law Wenqing, Ah Zhao asked you to come, I must believe in your ability, and please don't be rash and disappoint Ah Zhao." ”
"It seems that this stinky little lady is completely dependent on me." Cui Wenqing couldn't laugh or cry for a while, sighed, and suddenly made up his mind and said categorically: "Third uncle, brother-in-law Shikui, I came to Luoyang this time to prepare for next year's imperial examination. ”
Yang Huaiyu let out a strange "um", obviously puzzled by Cui Wenqing's answer, and said: "The purpose of the virtuous nephew's trip Ah Zhao has already written to inform him. ”
"Okay." Cui Wenqing chuckled, "Therefore, Uncle Lao chose a quieter courtyard for me and allowed me to study seriously." ”
Yang Huaiyu understood that Cui Wenqing was ready to stay, and suddenly couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, okay, no problem, Shikui, quickly arrange a courtyard for your brother-in-law, well, it's better to be in the bamboo courtyard, where it is quiet and the environment is also good." ”
Yang Shikui immediately bowed his head happily and said, "The child obeys his father's orders. After that, he stretched out his hand to Cui Wenqing and asked, "Brother-in-law Wenqing, please come with me, and I will arrange a place for you to live." ”
Cui Wenqing bowed his head lightly, said goodbye to Yang Huaiyu, and went out of the main hall to call the lotus leaves waiting outside, and went towards the inner courtyard together.
The Yang Mansion covers a wide area, with many courtyards, and after the main hall, it enters the inner courtyard through the second gate, which is a place for families to live.
Yang Shikui took Cui Wenqing's master and servant to go to the bamboo garden is located in the northwest corner of the mansion, the courtyard is planted with a green and secluded bamboo garden, in front of the bamboo is a small pool, which raises a little swimming fish, floating a piece of hibiscus.
One house is arranged in a horseshoe shape, with the master's bedroom in the center, the study and reception hall to the east, and the servants' residence to the west.
Originally, according to Yang Shikui's intentions, he was going to arrange a few maids to serve Cui Wenqing.
However, Cui Wenqing rejected his kindness, after all, in Cui Wenqing's opinion, it is still the lotus leaf that is the most intimate, and it is enough to have the lotus leaf alone, and there is really no need for so many people to serve him.
After the arrangements were made, Yang Shikui told Cui Wenqing that he would hold a reception banquet for him in the main hall tonight, and then left.
Cui Wenqing didn't rest, so he put the luggage he brought neatly with the lotus leaf, and it was hot in the middle of summer, and his forehead was already sweating after being tired.
Just when he was about to take a bath, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and looked up curiously, and saw that there was a graceful and beautiful woman standing in the courtyard outside the window, with a long and graceful body, tall and moving, like the goddess of the Naluo River.
