As the sun sets, the sun in the sky seems to rise up to the most residual heat, sending the most lingering sunset and blessings to the slightly chilly earth, and the golden afterglow seems to be draped in a golden dress on the earth, which is very beautiful.

Qinghe City is no exception.

The roadside stalls have dispersed, and many of the shops have raised their lanterns in preparation for the arrival of night.

"Driving"

A luxury carriage marked with the word "Cui" rushed from afar, and then suddenly reined in and stopped at the gate of Cui's mansion, and soon, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and extraordinary appearance stepped out of the carriage and walked straight from the side door.

"Third master, you're back."

"Hello third master."

There is no need to report or hand over the post, a few house slaves who are in charge of guarding the door looked at the middle-aged man, and quickly opened the side door, nodded and said hello, there was an organic spirit, and rushed to report to the inside to ask for money, without him, because this middle-aged man is the master of this family, the third master of the Qinghe Cui family: Cui Jing.

"Hmm" Cui Jing nodded slightly, indicating that he returned the salute to show his demeanor, but Cui Afu, the personal slave who followed him, was not so good-looking, and shouted loudly:

"Didn't you expect the third master to come back? It's wood one by one, quick, move the things on the carriage back to the third room. ”

Cui Afu was Cui Jing's playmate when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was a scholar, and then a follower and confidant, and he won Cui Jing's trust, and he gave him the surname Cui a few years ago, which is a very beautiful thing, so Cui Afu's status is very high, and no one dares to refute those who point fingers at everyone.

"Yes, the little one will go right away."

A few house slaves rushed to help get things, but Cui Jing didn't care, just walked home.

Joke, if this little thing still makes him worry about it, then his three masters will also be called in vain.

Well, yes, although Dai Tian patrolled the river affairs and didn't go home for a while, the house was still so neat and lively.

"Three Masters"

"Third master, you're back."

"The slave has seen the third master."

Along the way, as soon as those family members, nurses, and maidservants saw Cui Jing, they all politely saluted the third master of the Cui family and greeted him, Cui Jing nodded from time to time, and sometimes responded with a few words.

I just wanted to go back to the room to freshen up and go to see my mother, but I didn't expect a pretty maid to run in with a small step, and after saluting him, she said respectfully: "Third master, the old lady asked you to go to the backyard to eat immediately after cleaning your hands, and now the dishes are served." ”

This pretty maid, Cui Jing recognized, was a personal maid named Qiu Ju next to the old lady.

Cui Jing said in surprise: "It's so late, the old lady hasn't eaten yet?" How did the kitchen work, what to do if the old lady was starved? ”

As soon as he heard that the old mother hadn't eaten yet, Cui Jing suddenly became anxious and immediately asked sharply.

Qiu Ju replied unhurriedly: "Back to the third master, the old lady knows that the third master will go home tonight, saying that he hasn't eaten with you for some days, and specially ordered the kitchen to postpone the meal." ”

It's really pitiful for the parents of the world, when they heard that their son came back from business, they didn't even rush to eat, they had to wait for their son to eat together, and they had to wait for their son to eat together.

"Let's go, get over right away." Cui Jing didn't even return to the room, turned around and walked towards the backyard, as a son of man, filial piety first.

Cui Jing walked in front, Qiu Ju followed closely behind, Cui Jing asked casually as he walked, "Where are my eldest brother and second brother?" ”

"The eldest lord was invited to the military department to discuss the matter, and the eldest lord's concubine over there gave birth to a son, and the second lord went to congratulate him as a representative."

"Oh~~"

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother and the second brother are not here, the eldest man over there in Boling has passed the sixtieth year, he still has a son at such an old age, he has a son when he is old, he is romantic, it is indeed worth congratulating, as for the eldest brother, what to discuss with the Ministry of War, the eldest brother and the Ministry of War Shangshu have always been not speculative?

Strange things, strange things.

Soon, Cui Jing walked into the dining room, and as soon as he saw Mrs. Cui, he immediately walked up, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Mother Jin'an, the child is late, and it is really a sin to wait for the mother for a long time." ”

"Okay, good, good, just come back." With the support of the maidservant, Mrs. Cui pulled Cui Jing up, touched his face carefully, and said with a little pity: "My son is dark and thin." ”

Cui Jing is an official in the Ministry of Industry, mainly to manage river affairs, and recently allocated a sum of money to dredge the river affairs, and the ministry sent him to supervise the progress of the project.

"The child is very good, and the old mother is worried." Cui Jing hurriedly responded.

"Okay, okay, let's go see Xiao Yao, the little girl is talking about you every day." Mrs. Cui said with a smile.

At this time, Cui Mengyao was waiting next to her early in the morning, and when she saw Cui Jing seeing the old lady, she called happily: "Dad~"

"Good, good, good, my Xiaoyao is becoming more and more outstanding, not bad." Seeing the pearl in his palm, Cui Jing was indescribably happy.

At such an age, just a daughter, can you not cherish it, if other people's families call their fathers more formally, but Cui Jing is not angry at all, but makes fun of his little princess.

"Okay, okay, how can a father praise his daughter like this, people don't laugh when they hear it, let's all sit down, the food is about to be cold." Mrs. Cui was in a good mood, and her face was full of smiles.

The child is the heart, Mrs. Cui's favorite is the youngest son, as soon as she saw Cui Jing come back, the old face was always smiling.

"Hello third uncle."

"Hello third uncle."

Cui Jing found out that there was only a big table in the hall, and more than a dozen nephews and nieces were sitting on it, and when they saw him, they all whispered hello.

"This" Cui Jing looked at Mrs. Cui with a little surprise in his eyes.

According to the rules, at least two tables should be set up here, the old lady and the adult men of the Cui family can sit in the chief and dine with the old lady, while the female generation and underage children sit together in the second seat, to show that men and women are different, and the young and old are orderly, but why are they all sitting together today?

Mrs. Cui scolded with a smile: "Look at what, I ordered it, I'm happy today, don't care about any rules and regulations, let my children and grandchildren accompany me to have a good meal, do you have any opinions?" ”

"The child doesn't dare, mother, you just like it."

Thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and obedient, seventy and do what you want, do not exceed the rules, the old lady now has a seventy birthday, no one has any objection to what to do.

Cui Jing sat down next to her daughter, and the family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner while talking and laughing.

The position was arranged early in the morning, Mrs. Cui was not allowed to sit in the middle, Cui Mengyao and Cui Mengzhen accompanied by one left and one right, Cui Jing sat down next to her daughter, and the others sat down one by one according to their generations.

At the request of the old lady, Cui Jing first talked about his inspection of the river this time, and then said some anecdotes, which made the old lady laugh from ear to ear, and even the juniors couldn't stop laughing, saying that the third uncle was humorous and funny.

This is the practice of the big family, the eldest son's shoulders are heavy, the eldest brother is the father, the eldest brother is the father, and the eldest brother is the father, which is naturally strict; The middle one is a little embarrassing, not enough to be valued and majestic enough than the eldest brother, and not enough to be favored than the lower one, and the personality is a little dull; The small ones are different, the children are hearty, they love each other, some rules can not be followed, and their personalities are also naughty and cheerful.

After talking about the anecdotes, I promised everyone present that there would be gifts, so the atmosphere in the banquet was better.

"Hmm~" was eating, Cui Mengyao suddenly felt sick to her stomach, covered her mouth with one hand, and quickly left the table and ran out of Lu, and her personal maid Chun'er hurriedly followed out of Lu.

By the lotus pond, Chun'er gently helped Cui Mengyao beat her back, and asked anxiously: "Miss, Miss, you are fine, right?" ”

After retching a few times, she couldn't spit it out, Cui Mengyao said a little uncomfortable: "I was a little hungry just now, I ate a little too much lotus seed soup, my stomach is a little greasy, and I don't want to eat it." ”

Chun'er counted and said: "A little more, Miss, are you good to eat a large plate, you have eaten so many sweets, it's strange that you have an appetite." ”

In the dining room:

"What's wrong with Xiao Yao, is this dish unappetizing?" Mrs. Cui asked curiously.

"Hehe, maybe Sister Mengyao's beads are secretly knotted, and I saw that the fourth aunt was like this when she was pregnant with a child." Sitting at the table, a girl named Cui Mengfu, who was about eleven or twelve years old, giggled and laughed.

Cui Mengzhen's boss was serious, and he was startled when he heard the words, this Cui Mengfu is no one else, it is the sister of his own compatriots, this is not the boudoir, and if he says such a thing on this occasion, he will suffer a great sin, so he hurriedly shouted: "Sister Fu, don't talk nonsense, quickly apologize to the third uncle." ”

"Sister, I didn't talk nonsense, I also saw with my own eyes that Sister Meng Yao secretly sent money to people, I borrowed Sister Wan's silver and haven't paid it back, and I still have to send silver to others, it's not what is raising a man."

The girl's house, often three steps out of the boudoir, usually a lot of private words, really dare to say anything, this Cui Mengfu I don't know if it's too easy, such words dare to say anything in front of the old lady and Cui Jing, doesn't this mean that she is raping? It's just a naked slap in the face.

Adultery, in ancient times called "and adultery", for the laws of the past dynasties are not allowed, the earliest statement about the crime of adultery is found in the "Book of Shang": "Men and women do not have righteous intercourse, their punishment palace." "The palace punishment for adulterers is a punishment that is worse than death, but the Tang Dynasty is an open dynasty, according to the Tang law: "The adulterers will be imprisoned for one and a half years, and those who have a husband will be imprisoned for two years." He said, "For those who commit adultery, men and women shall be imprisoned for one and a half years, and those who have husbands shall be imprisoned for two years." In other words, if an adulterer has ever been married, he will be sentenced to one and a half to two years in prison, which is the lightest punishment in history.

It's light, as the head of the scholar clan, the Cui family can't afford it, and if it is passed out, it will definitely be laughed at by the world, and it will also be a great blow to Cui Mengyao's reputation, Cui Jing heard this, and his face turned black on the spot, if it weren't for his niece, it is estimated that she would have to fight her to death.

Cui Jing is inconvenient to do it, waking up is to endure it with a black face, it doesn't mean that the old lady can bear it, she has the most in the Cui family, she can't help it anymore when she hears what kind of raising a man, she suddenly stood up, picked up the stew in the cup and splashed it on her face: "Damn the spiller, so many meals can't stop your cheap mouth, and the dog eats it on weekdays?" ”
