220: Joy in Suffering

The Cui family's house is really big.

As passers-by said, the lanterns are colorful, and they all know that this family is going to do a happy event when they pass by from afar.

Cheng Qing and Zhou Heng entered Cui's Mansion without hesitation, swaggering, as if Master Cui's two lost sons had returned, and they didn't treat themselves as outsiders at all.

Cui Peng also took out a very high standard to entertain the two, especially as soon as Zhou Heng entered the door, the Cui family was very affectionate.

"Shiro is stubborn and refuses to leave the room where his father is recuperating for a single step, and if you want to see him, you can only ...... Alas, the two of you came just in time, persuade Shiro, don't I, the eldest brother, know how to write the word 'filial piety'? My father's illness is important, and the entire Cui family is equally important, if we don't work together, others will attack the Cui family while my father is seriously ill. ”

When he arrived at Cui's Mansion, the eldest young master Cui Peng seemed to have no worries when he spoke, and he was at ease with Cheng Qing and Zhou Heng.

Cheng Qing nodded, "Brother Zhou and I are going to persuade Cui Yan, if the Cui family is in trouble, he is also the son of the Cui family, how can the eldest young master be busy alone?" He is really confused, he took out the identity of the person earlier, Brother Zhou and I can't help, there are many classmates, and the same year of the township test, which one can't take a hand! Don't worry, young master, when I see him in a while, I will definitely scold him and wake him up! ”

The corner of Cui Peng's eyes twitched slightly.

This Cheng Xie Yuan is not very old, but it is difficult to deal with, which reminds Cui Peng of those big businessmen who have business dealings with the Cui family.

Talking about the needle in the mouth, he is warning him, don't move Cui Yan without permission, Cui Yan is a person, but he has intertwined classmates, the same year?

"Come with me, two of you."

Cui Peng has no intention of talking to Cheng Qing more, if you want to talk about tongue skills, he may not be the opponent of this young Xie Yuan, so it is useless to talk more.

Cheng Qing and Zhou Heng were led by Cui Peng to the residence of Master Cui in the main courtyard.

Cheng Qing looked secretly all the way and didn't find anything abnormal.

Cui Yan's actions in the Cui family should be free.

So why did Cui Yan keep guarding Master Cui?

If you are sick, you should go to a doctor, and Cui Yan will not treat the disease.

Crunch.

The door to the main courtyard was opened.

A vase was thrown out and smashed at Cui Peng, who hurriedly jumped to the side.

"You son of a, you dare to appear, if you dare to step into the main room, I will die with you!"

This is not Cui Yan's voice, but a woman.

gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, and he hated Cui Peng between his words.

Cui Peng dodged the vase and looked apologetic: "I forgot to say just now, Shiro wants to serve his father in person, and his mother is not relieved to Shiro...... My mother misunderstood me, so I didn't go in. ”

It turned out that it was Mrs. Cui who was scolding.

Cheng Qing understood, "The eldest young master is more responsible, Uncle Cui is seriously ill, and the aunt is also very worried, and her temper must be a little anxious." ”

Cui Yan and Mrs. Cui are both in the main courtyard, Cui Peng can move freely, and Cheng Qing now suspects that Cui Peng put Cui Yan's mother and son under house arrest together.

So Cui Peng brought her and Zhou Heng to house arrest together?

Cui Peng doesn't have the guts!

Of the twenty family members lent to her by the fifth master, only a few followed her, and most of them were waiting outside Cui's house, if she didn't go out, things would be more fun.

Cheng Qing spoke, and the people in the main courtyard naturally heard the movement.

"Cheng Qing?"

It was Cui Yan's voice.

"It's me, and Zhou Heng is also here! Can we come and see Uncle? ”

Cui Yan seemed to smile.

"Come in, no one is stopping you."

Cui Peng arched his hand, signaling that he could not accompany Cheng Qing and Zhou Heng in, and then turned around and left.

When he didn't enter the door, he didn't say that he was going to see the seriously ill Master Cui, and he seemed to be really frightened by the vase thrown by Mrs. Cui, no wonder Mrs. Cui scolded Cui Peng for being a son.

If you really want to be filial, don't talk about a vase, even if you cross the sword mountain and the sea of fire, you have to go to your father's hospital bed to say goodbye!

Cheng Qing and Zhou Heng entered the door, and only when they saw it with their own eyes did they understand why Cui Yan only spoke out and did not show up.

Cui Yan is acting badly now!

He didn't even wear an outer robe, but wore a shirt and trousers, and his right leg was fixed with a wooden plank and layers of cloth wrapped around it.

Cheng Qing's eyes sank, and Zhou Heng blurted out:

"Cui Yan, your legs ......"

Cui Yan grinned, "It's okay, it's just broken, please ask the doctor to come and see it, it hurts your muscles and bones for a hundred days, take care of it, you shouldn't be lame." ”

Cui Yan said it lightly.

But a woman in the house with beaded hair covered in brocade hid her face and wept.

This is Cui Yan's mother, Mrs. Cui, the wife of Master Cui.

Cui Yan was half-leaning on the bed, and there was a white and fat middle-aged man lying on the bed, his eyes could roll, and when he saw Cheng Qing and Zhou Heng coming, his throat was hissing, and he couldn't move his hands and feet - this person seemed to be Cui Yan before he lost weight, and he should be Master Cui.

"Uncle, aunt!"

didn't expect to see Cui Yan's parents in this situation, which really made Cheng Qing not know what to say.

Fortunately, Cui Yan was quite optimistic, and he straightened the quilt for Master Cui, and was still in the mood to joke: "Look, my two brothers are here, and the money you sent me to study in the past few years has not been spent in vain, right?" Look at the son-in-law I found for you, and see if the friends I have made are much better than your other sons! ”

Master Cui's eyes blinked desperately, and the corners of his eyes were wet.

Cheng Qing guessed that this was not moving, he should have wanted to provoke and beat Cui Yan, but he couldn't move, and he made Master Cui anxious.

Cheng Qing was originally in a heavy mood, but when Cui Yan was messed with like this, he also relaxed slightly: "Okay, don't deliberately comfort me and Zhou Heng, tell me what's going on, I think Uncle Cui's symptoms are quite like a stroke, your leg is really broken?" You and Uncle Cui are sick and injured, and now the entire Cui family should be Cui Peng talking about it! ”

Mrs. Cui cried when she mentioned this, and scolded Cui Peng to death, saying that Cui Peng was a wolf with ambition and had been planning for a long time to seize the power of the family.

Cui Yan was hurt by Mrs. Cui's crying.

"Mother, go and see if your father's medicine is decoctioned, do you want to watch, what should you do if the eldest brother asks people to do something in the medicine?"

Mrs. Cui was really distracted, rushed out in a hurry, and guarded her subordinates to decoct the medicine.

The room was finally quiet.

Cui Yan invited Cheng Qing and Zhou Heng to sit down, put one hand on his broken leg, and the banter just now was gone, only gloomy:

"This matter was caused by the marriage of Wu Niang and Zhou Heng, of course, this is just an introduction, just for a marriage, Cui Peng will not tear his face. It can only be said that the contradiction has existed for a long time, my father's wishful thinking wants to change the lintel of the Cui family, counting on me to enter the imperial examination, and the other brothers who are out of the family will take over the Cui family's business and be my left and right arms, but I can't stand people who don't want to be arms, but want to be the words of the Cui family. ”

Now that I think about it, both he and his father are quite naΓ―ve.

Master Cui felt that he was good enough for the children of his concubine, and he gave birth to many children, and he didn't starve anyone. The dowry for the concubines to marry is also quite rich, and the concubines follow him to manage the Cui family's business, and they have never been treated badly in terms of money.

There is a difference between the concubines, the court has laws, the family business is passed on to the descendants, and there is no heir to pass on the long, Master Cui also did this, Cui Yan received this kind of education since he was a child, and he felt that everything in the Cui family should belong to him...... But Master Cui didn't ask what the concubine thought!
