Chapter 220: Drinking
The Cui family's courtyard held a feast.
Today is the big day of the young master of the Cui family and Miss Li Fu, and the subordinates are all happy and gossip with each other.
The guests came one after another, and Cui Yushi's eldest son, Cui Tian, accepted the congratulations of the visitors with a smile.
"Master Cui, congratulations." One of the guests arched his hand and smiled at him.
Cui Tian replied: "Rejoice and rejoice." ”
He stretched out his hand to invite the guest into the house.
Here came another guest, nearly forty years old, with slightly graying hair.
"Master Cui, is Ling Zun here? There's something to do with him below. The guest said, bowing his hand as a sign of respect.
Cui Tian smiled, stretched out his hand to one place and said, "My father is entertaining guests in the courtyard. ”
The guest responded and walked into Cui's mansion.
But at this time, Cui Yushi was not entertaining guests, he was sitting in front of the hall, his thick eyebrows were locked, and next to him was Yushi's wife, Yushi, with a kind smile.
The two men looked very contrasting, one happy and the other seemed unhappy.
The people present were so frightened by Cui Yushi that they didn't dare to speak, and they all held their breath for fear that they would be noticed by Cui Yushi.
This is Cui Yushi, the imperial historian, Zheng Zheng iron bones, even the prince, the prince, and even His Majesty, have been found fault by him. They don't dare to offend.
In the early years, His Majesty listened to Cui Yushi's opinions very much, and he would correct what he did wrong, but now His Majesty was caught by the Ziyang real person, and he also ignored Cui Yushi's words.
Thinking of Cui Yushi, everyone looked at Cui Yushi and found that he was still serious and looked like he was angry.
Yushi's wife Yu sensed that something was wrong, and immediately coughed, signaling Cui Yushi not to frighten others.
She patted Cui Yushi.
"Master, today is Hao'er's big day, you have to be happy......" she said, "Don't freak out others......
This reminder is very important for Cui Yushi, although the effect is not large, but at least it can make Cui Yushi restrain for a while. Yu also knew this, and when he found that something was wrong, he immediately told Cui Yushi.
Sure enough, Cui Yushi's expression eased when he heard her words, but he glared at her again in a blink of an eye, and he was almost angry.
He said, "Am I not happy? Hao'er got married, and I, as a father, were naturally happy. ”
This tone is more impulsive, and it is a little hateful, and Yu is a little helpless, which means that he says one thing and does another.
"Old man......"
"Don't say it." Cui Yushi interrupted her words without hesitation, he waved his hand and said, "Today's Hao'er wedding, what are you talking about so much?" ”
Yu was choked by the words.
The rest of the people are staring at each other, the lord and the lady quarrel, and they always quarrel to win, if it is really an iron mouth of the imperial doctor, it is very powerful when it comes to people.
"Master, madam, the fourth son is back!" A maid was still running outside and began to shout, and finally she ran into the house excitedly, "The fourth son is back!" ”
"Come back, come back, what do you do frizzy?" Cui Yushi frowned and reprimanded, so frightened that the maid's shoulders trembled, and she suddenly lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
It was still not easy for Yu Shi to see that the maid, so he said for her: "Master, Hao'er is back, we should sit and wait for Hao'er to ......."
Cui Yushi snorted.
"Haven't I sat well?" He said angrily.
After a while, Cui Hao and Li Mingqin, who was covered with a red hijab, were greeted by everyone and came to the hall and saluted Cui Yushi and his wife.
"Father, mother." Cui Hao said.
Yu Shi smiled, and there was no anger on his face that was angered by Cui Yushi.
"Hao'er, please get up." He said.
Cui Hao nodded, glanced at them and got up.
After completing a set of processes, Li Mingqin was welcomed into a room.
Her red hijab hung down, she couldn't see anything around her, and she walked much more carefully.
"Miss, watch your step." A maid said, Li Mingqin hurriedly strode forward and sat down on the bed.
I don't know how long later, the door creaked open, and Li Mingyun walked in from outside.
She walked lightly and didn't make any sound, if it weren't for the maids' salutes, Li Mingqin wouldn't have known that someone had entered the house.
"Second sister, are you okay?" Li Mingyun said, sitting down beside her and holding her hand.
Li Mingqin nodded, and the red lips in the red hijab showed a smile: "It's okay." ”
She asked, "How is my mother?" Is she still crying? ”
When she left the house before, she could feel her mother's reluctance, and she vaguely heard crying, so Li Mingqin asked.
Li Mingyun shook his head: "The eldest aunt is fine, she asked me to tell the second sister, you are fine here, and she will be fine in the house." ”
Li Mingqin nodded yes.
After a while, footsteps sounded outside again, and Li Mingyun thought it was Cui Hao, and felt very embarrassed.
But later I found out that the person who came over was a strange-looking maid.
"Miss Li San, Miss Li Si is looking for you." The maid replied crisply.
Li Mingyun said "oh" and looked at Li Mingqin: "Second sister, I should go, the fourth sister is still waiting for me." ”
After she finished speaking, she waved at Li Mingqin, then pushed open the door and walked out of the house.
Cui Mansion is no better than Li Mansion, strange place, strange people, Li Mingyun got lost after walking a few steps, she looked left and right in embarrassment.
I knew it earlier, so I brought Chunyu with me, and maybe I could find the way to come.
She sighed.
"Miss Li San?" A voice in the back was puzzled.
Li Mingyun was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to see that the kind maid had been following her......
She let out an "um" and before she could say anything, she fainted.
……
……
Zhou Yunzhen was said to come to Cui's Mansion as a guest, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Cui Tian immediately stepped forward to give a salute: "Zhou Shizi, Xu Shizi, you are here." ”
"yes, we're here." Xu Zhi said first, and smiled at Cui Tian, "Congratulations!" I didn't catch up with your wedding wine last time, but this time, I caught up with your brother's wedding wine. ”
Cui Tian smiled: "Then Xu Shizi just drink." ”
Zhou Yunzhen instructed his subordinates to bring up the gift box that had been prepared a long time ago, and the subordinates responded by gritting their teeth and carrying the box into Cui's mansion.
Xu Zhi also followed him to give gifts.
After finishing their work, the two were invited by Cui's subordinates to sit down at the banquet table.
"My father brought me a message, saying that in Cui Fu'an, don't let Cui Yushi seize any tricks......" Zhou Yunzhen pouted, "In the early years, the idea was not majestic at all, and I am afraid of being impeached by others one day......"
"Uncle is right," Xu Zhi said, "A person like Cui Yushi is not something that can be solved by giving gifts, as long as you do something wrong, he will definitely grab your pigtails!" ”
Zhou Yunzhen pursed her lips, although she was disdainful, she had to agree that Xu Wei's words made sense.
He said, "When you come to someone's house as a guest, you must be vigilant, for fear that people will sue you for ......."
This is the first time he's seen this strange thing, and he can't change it.
Xu Wei obviously thought it was funny too, so he laughed.
Zhou Yunzhen sneered: "I went to his house to drink, could it be that he said that I drank in front of His Majesty?" Not doing your job? ”
Xu Shi spread his hand: "I don't know about this." ”
He said, suddenly seeing something, he pulled Zhou Yunzhen to the corner of the side.
Zhou Yunzhen was pulled by him and swayed, and he looked helpless.
"Xu Liu, what's wrong with you?" He asked, a little annoyed, "You say I'm weird, but I think you're really weird." ”
Xu Zhi didn't have time to care about his words, and hurriedly patted him on the shoulder.
"Look, on Friday, is that maid Miss Li San's maid?" He asked, surprised.
Zhou Yunzhen followed his line of sight and found that a little girl was looking around, her face was still a little anxious, he frowned, and said in his heart that he had nothing to do with Li Mingyun, and he should not go over to find her or her maid.
"Friday, let's go!" Xu Wei didn't wait for him to answer, and immediately walked over there, and Zhou Yunzhen had no choice but to follow.
As soon as Chunyu saw Zhou Yunzhen, it was like seeing a savior, and she hurriedly said, "Zhou Gongzi, have you seen my young lady?" ”
"Miss Li San?" Xu Shi interjected, "Where did she go?" ”
When I heard the spring rain, my eyes immediately turned red,
"My young lady...... I can't find anyone......" he said.
