228: It is better to hope for a husband than for a son
Daddy and daddy are not the same.
As soon as Cheng Zhiyuan died, after Cheng Qing's family returned to their hometown, there were only sixty-three taels of silver left in the family.
Old Master Cui is still alive, and he has earned six or seven hundred thousand taels of silver for his children...... There is a basement under the main house where Master Cui sleeps, pry open the green bricks, and there are piles of silver ingots and small gold bricks hidden in the basement, Master Cui sleeps on the gold bricks and silver ingots every night, and there is nowhere to spend the money, no wonder he has to accept so many concubines.
Although Cheng Zhiyuan failed to earn tens of thousands of family fortunes for his children, he left a clear name, earned a fortune for the Liu family, and earned a shadow attack for Cheng Qing.
Master Cui earned tens of thousands of family fortunes, but he almost made Cui Yan lose his life.
Cheng Qing still prefers his poor father.
Cui Yan is so knowledgeable, and the people who came to witness the Cui family are extremely satisfied.
"Cui Juren regards money as dung, how can he let Mrs. Cui and Miss Wu suffer together? The fifth lady is going to get married, and the dowry that has been prepared will naturally be taken away. ”
The sister of the concubine of the third prince is good to marry, and the third prince will be able to run more errands in the future.
The people of the third prince generously allowed Cui Yan to take Cui Wuniang's dowry.
After the two parties made a deed, Cui Wuniang was also released.
also symbolically gave Cui Yan a small courtyard in the city, Cui Juren regarded money as dung, the Cui family and Mrs. Cui always needed a place to settle, Cui Yan didn't say no, but Cui Yan definitely wouldn't live
The sky was slightly bright, Cheng Qing took his family, carried Master Cui who had a stroke and Cui Yan who had broken his leg, plus Mrs. Cui and the loyal servants of the Cui family, dozens of people returned to Nanyi by boat.
Cui Yan asked people to put their deck chairs on the deck, looking back at the dock, his eyes were obscure.
"What, still reluctant?"
Cheng Qing sat down beside him.
Cui Yan sighed: "It's good to be able to pick up the lives of a family of four, all the family wealth has been given to Cui Peng, I see what a good life he can live!" ”
"Cui Peng's life must be difficult, you count the family wealth in front of the three princes, we have just left, and the Cui family's silver that can be used will be sent to the capital. Half of the Cui family's wealth was dedicated to the third prince, and the remaining half, Cui Peng had to beware of the other younger brothers, you took Master Cui away, and when the Cui family's foreign stewards got the news, how many could serve Cui Peng? He wants to keep the inside and outside, so naturally he can't spare his hands to trouble you! ”
Cheng Qing also thinks it's good.
There is a give-and-take.
What's more, it is useless to rob the Cui family's family wealth, first give half to the three princes, and keep the rest in their hands for the time being, but they are also kept for the three princes to harvest later.
Cui Yan turned his head and smiled reluctantly: "I used to cover you, but now it's your turn to cover me." ”
Cheng Qing gave him a roll of his eyes.
Cui Yan laughed.
In the cabin, Mrs. Cui had just finished wiping Master Cui's face with her own hands, and held Cui Wuniang in her arms again: "Listen, your brother is laughing, it can be seen that things are not to the worst, mother's obedient, I have been frightened by Cui Peng's beheading ghost these days, right?" ”
Cui Wuniang, of course, was frightened.
was supposed to be a bride, but suddenly her brother Cui Yan broke her leg, and she herself was locked up by Cui Peng, and she didn't see her mother and brother to save her for a long time, and I don't know what the condition of my father Cui is, in just a few days, the baby fat on Cui Wuniang's cheeks has fallen off.
finally Cui Peng let her go, and experienced the change of separation.
said that it was a separation, but in fact, it was forced by Cui Peng, and the family of four wanted to leave their hometown to avoid trouble.
Cui Wuniang's heart was full of apprehension.
She was worried about Master Cui's illness and Cui Yan's injury.
Only when she was held in her arms by her mother, Mrs. Cui, Cui Wuniang's flustered heart would be temporarily steady.
"Mother, I'm not afraid. No matter how fierce the eldest brother is, he is not as powerful as his brother, it is because he is afraid of his brother that he wants to unite with outsiders to drive away his brother! ”
Mrs. Cui rubbed her daughter's face, "You're a ghost." ”
Mrs. Cui also figured this out, so she didn't panic.
A husband can take concubines, he will have other children, how can a son be reliable?
There can be more than one wife and concubine, but there is only one mother, Cui Yan has a good leg and a great future, and Mrs. Cui's heart is stable.
She gently touched her daughter's face, "Zhou Heng was not co-opted by Cui Peng, your brother chose a good husband for you, with a mother, you will not suffer obediently." ”
Zhou Heng.
Now that the family is like this, can I still marry him?
Cui Wuniang leaned on her mother's arms, how could she leave her seriously ill father and brother who broke her leg at this time, and marry on her own!
On the way back to Nanyi, Cheng Qing was not easy.
If she is Cui Peng, both sides have torn their faces, and they will inevitably send someone to intercept and kill Cui Yan halfway, and only when they go to Nanyi County can they really be safe.
On the way, I didn't dare to stop the boat to ask for a doctor again for Master Cui and Cui Yan, and walked the waterway for three or four days in fear before arriving at the wharf in Nanyi County.
Cui Yan studied in the academy and bought a house in Xuandu Mansion, Cui Yan usually rarely went to live once, but at this time it became a family of four and a number of loyal servants settled down.
Cheng Qing wanted the Cui family to settle down in Nanyi County and take care of each other.
Cui Yan refused: "Your sister wants to get married, it is inconvenient for so many of us to come to disturb her, my sister is also going to get married, her surname is Cui, how can there be any reason to marry from the Cheng family?" Let's wait until the two of us finish our happy events, not to mention that it is better to hire a doctor in Xuandu Mansion, my father's illness and my leg must be re-diagnosed and treated. ”
What Cui Yan said is also true.
By the time Cheng Qing helped the Cui family settle down in Fucheng, it was already September 28.
The days when Cui Wuniang and Zhou Heng got married were still before Cheng Hui and Dong Jinqiu, the Cui family encountered this kind of thing, Cui Wuniang's marriage was delayed, Cui Wuniang herself was unwilling to marry, her family is now in chaos, she wants to stay at home to take care of Master Cui and Cui Yan.
Zhou Heng is very considerate of this.
If she marries into the Zhou family, how can the new daughter-in-law stay in her parents' house all the time?
Zhou Heng doesn't care, outsiders will also accuse Cui Wuniang.
Cui Yan also privately called Zhou Heng to rediscuss the marriage, if Zhou Heng didn't want to marry Cui Wuniang now, Cui Yan would not accuse him, the two were still classmates and friends, and it would not affect the relationship.
"The resources that I can give you in the past will be difficult in the future, before I fell off the horse and broke my leg, there was just an echo from the matter of the Guozijian, and the Cui family did not follow up, I'm afraid it was also ......."
If it weren't for Cui Yan still being injured, Zhou Heng would definitely have a big fight with him.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Heng forced himself to calm down: "Cui Yan, in your eyes, is Zhou the kind of ungrateful person?" I exchanged marriage letters with Miss Five, why don't you marry her to me. There is also Guozijian, I can also take the exam selected by the tribute supervisor by myself, don't worry about these! ”
Zhou Heng is not worried about whether he can go to Guozijian, he is more worried about Cui Yan now.
- Even if Cui Yan can go to Guozijian, can he really leave Master Cui, who had a stroke, to go to the capital?
