CHAPTER XIII

Second Mrs. Cui loves Cui Yuzhu very much, because she is such a daughter, Cui Bai has no concubine, and he has a son and a daughter under his knees.

If it weren't for Cui Zhang's family coercion, he would not have agreed to give Yuzhu to King Qin as a side concubine. He thought he was cutting meat to feed the tiger, and then the tiger disdained it, you said that it was not angry or not.

Now the situation in the DPRK and China is complicated, except for the Yan family and the supervision order to remain neutral, and some families are still waiting, the people of the former prince are almost all aware of the times and fall to the king of Qin, but if the king of Qin wants to sit in that position, it is not so simple.

First of all, the royal family is not optimistic about King Qin, but King Qi......

King Qi has no maternal backing, his biological mother is humble, and his bones are soft and easy to control. The Zhu family has been in power for a hundred years, and there are many royal relatives, although they do not have much right to speak, but it is also a force to hold together.

King Qin looked down on these clans who didn't eat and didn't do anything, and he was far less pleasing than King Qi who respectfully shouted "uncle, uncle".

Again, the Prime Minister has always been impartial and always loyal to His Majesty, but he doesn't seem to be optimistic about King Qin either. The prime minister's conservative faction, the Qin king's main battle faction, the two people disagree in politics, which was undoubtedly revealed when Di Rong came to attack the year before last.

Although the King of Qin valued the scholars, he also valued the warriors. In the past few years, the martial arts test has been held by the King of Qin himself, and all those who enter the top ten are reused, so the prestige of the King of Qin in the military generals is quite heavy, which also leads to the dissatisfaction of some students.

Alas, it is the most difficult for the marquis of these families to stand in line, and the slightest carelessness is a disaster of extermination, but the in-laws are complicated, and every family is a relative, and they can't hide.

Second Mrs. Cui's maiden nephew is also going to participate in the martial arts test in April this year, and now he is on his way, and Cui Bai only received the letter a few days ago.

Cui Yuzhu learned the news from the second lady Cui that this time her cousin was going to enter the Beijing martial arts test, and even her aunt and cousin came over. Her cousin was a year older than her, and she was also a marriageable year, and the purpose of entering Beijing was to do this. I haven't seen her for several years, and Cui Yuzhu has forgotten what her cousin looks like.

It's not the time to think about this now, now she has to go to Wenchang Houfu for a banquet, and she will definitely meet acquaintances at that time, and she really doesn't want to meet the county lord of Yongle, she really doesn't want to see her, otherwise she is quite familiar with Xu Ying'er of Wenchang Houjia.

Cui Yuzhu's most common thing to do is to compare herself with Xu Yinger in private, not the jealous kind, she appreciates and cares a lot, so she often talks about it.

She was also dressed up today under her mother's arrangement, wearing a bright begonia red and light yellow, and her mother also specially gave her two excellent jade jade bracelets to wear.

Originally, she was young and curvy, and she couldn't resist such a bright color, but fortunately she had white skin, and she looked as delicate as a flower when she wore this color. In addition, her bun is not complicated, and there are no gold ornaments on her head, just a pearl silver hairpin and a few beaded flowers lined with it, which is not unconventional.

The only thing I'm afraid of is bumping into Xu Ying'er, it wouldn't be good if she also wore red, anyway, Cui Yuzhu thought in her heart that she couldn't compare to her no matter what.

I was really afraid of something, when Cui Yuzhu went into the main courtyard of the Houfu with her aunt and mother to pay her birthday to the old lady, she saw a scene of flowers and happiness.

Xu Ying'er is dressed in red, which is particularly eye-catching among many nobles.

Her face is like a bright moon, her lips are like Dan, she is the most dignified look, if you only look at her facial features, it is not surprising, but some people are born with a smiling face, only to see her eyebrows and cheeks, standing there makes people amiable and cute.

Cui Yuzhu has nothing to do with her, the two of them have a good temperament, they speak softly, and they can't quarrel.

If there is really anything, it is also crying, the other is laughing, the crying is unreasonable, and the laughing is frank and open.

"Sister Cui, it's been a few days."

"Sister Xu is doing lately? My sister misses me so much! ”

Anyway, the plastic sisterhood still needs to be maintained, Cui Yuzhu took her hand and talked to her about the scene.

Both of them are freshly dressed, and they are flower-like people, and it is rare for someone to compare them.

I saw that these two people stood in one place, each with their own beauty, and it was really difficult to compare. It's just that Xu Ying'er is born with a smile, Cui Yuzhu is shy and half-frowned, and Xu Ying'er is better in terms of temperament, and she is more appreciated by his wife.

No wonder Cui Yuzhu said, "I only heard others praise Xu Ying'er, when did you praise me?" This is not hypocrisy.

The corners of Cui Yuzhu's mouth rose, and she also made a polite smile, but after holding on for a while, she felt that her face was stiff, and she no longer forced herself.

"Poof! Look, they're more like twins than our sisters. ”

When you say this, don't you laugh at us for bumping into each other......

When everyone heard this, they saw two women walking towards them, one dressed in light yellow and the other in light blue, whose faces were beautiful but no different.

Cui Yuzhu's smile that had just collapsed hung up again, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said shyly: "Sister Yueqing said that she was smiling." ”

Wang Leping's smile stiffened, and she said embarrassedly: "My sister is sick and confused, I am Leping." ”

"Ah......h ”

Cui Yuzhu knew that the two of them hated being mistaken, and deliberately called the wrong person, so she shot back Wang Leping's words with just one sentence.

Wang Leping and the two sisters were angry, but they had to smile and say that it didn't matter.

Yan Muqing also came, and after seeing the ceremony, she asked Cui Yuzhu to sit with her, and secretly laughed at her, "When did you become so sharp-toothed?" ”

Cui Yuzhu pouted and said softly: "There are just contacts." ”

Yan Muqing secretly whispered in her ear, "I heard that there are many guests in front of me, can you accompany me to take a sneak look later?" ”

"What's there to see then?"

Yan Muqing whispered: "Shen Mo is also there." ”

Cui Yuzhu blinked, seconds understood.

The men were all in the front yard, and Cui Yuzhu's brother Cui Yujin was also there. But if this kind of thing is not good in someone else's house, and you are not familiar with the terrain, you can either pull a few more and it will not be good if you are discovered, or you will go openly.

Cui Yuzhu first pulled Xu Ying'er aside to speak, and asked her, "Sister Xu, what is the program later?" ”

Xu Ying'er said: "Let's listen to the play for a while, and then go to my yard to enjoy the flowers, I planted a few camellias, which bloomed beautifully, just right for the painting." ”

Cui Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled, "The camellia is blooming this month, and it's the same another day." Why don't we do that later...... If it's not fun just to enforce the drinking order, let's find the gentlemen in the front yard to do a game together, what do you think? ”

Xu Ying'er was a little embarrassed, "This idea is good, but there are too many distinguished guests today, and I am afraid that there will be chaos if the arrangement is not good." ”

Cui Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "Sister Xu said the same. "No more talk.

Then he turned his head and found Jiang Lingfang from the Qing family of Guanglu Temple, and said to her, "Sister, I'm going to go to the bamboo forest later, will you go?" ”

Jiang Lingfang didn't know why, "What are you going to do?" ”

Cui Yuzhu said softly, "I have something I want to give to my brother, so I want you to accompany me." ”

When Jiang Lingfang heard that she could see Cui Yujin, her face instantly turned red and she was very positive. "Okay, I'll go and get two more people to come with you."

Looking at this kind of thing for men, a person will be embarrassed, and the more people there are, the more courageous they will be.

Cui Yuzhu and a total of five girls called out to the maid of the waiting house to lead the way, and went to the front blatantly.

When Cui Yujin was really called, Cui Yuzhu sent him away casually, and assigned him a task to chat with Shen Mo and tell them which one was Shen Mo by the way.

Then they hid behind a bamboo curtain and watched.

Cui Yujin was really reliable, and immediately went over to talk to Shen Mo, they were the same age, and they had a good conversation soon when they intended to intersect.

Silence is polite and well-behaved. He also participated in this spring test, but the results have not come out yet, and he doesn't dare to say big things, but at least the top 20 are promising. To sum up, there are poems and books in the belly, and there are things to say, not rhetoric.

The girls looked at these handsome gentlemen, all of them were shy and lovely.

Cui Yuzhu secretly asked Yan Muqing what she thought?

Yan Muqing was a little shy, "I don't know, I can't see it clearly." ”

Cui Yuzhu teased her two more sentences and didn't mention it again.

They think that no one notices what they are doing, but they don't know that it has all fallen into someone's eyes.

There was a half-open window on the third floor of the Houfu Library Pavilion, and Cui Jingming stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, taking in half of the garden.
