Chapter 9: The Sorrowful Concubine of the Cui Mansion (7)
After waking up from sleep, Meng Hui's muscles were sore, and his spirit was much better than when he first came through.
It was dark outside, and before the condensation beads and condensation came in to wake her up, Meng Hui simply put on a layer of clothes and a pair of stockings, jumped out of bed with embroidered shoes and started to run in place, by the way, to clean up the memories of the original owner that had become clear in his mind.
Cui Yuzhen has been small and transparent since she was a child.
When Mrs. Xian was alive, she and Aunt Yun lived on a meager amount, they couldn't be hungry but they couldn't eat enough, they didn't have no clothes to wear but they didn't dress very well, they didn't have any major illnesses and no minor illnesses, and when they were sick, they generally relied on drinking more hot water to treat Buddhism.
Cui Mansion is not a big family, Master Cui is used to being extravagant, just give birth or not, Cui Yuzhen didn't even know what he looked like when he was a child, so there is no father-daughter relationship.
Later, Mrs. Xian died, and the Wang family entered the door, and she and Cui Yuwei had the status of concubines, but after being a sick cat for many years, no matter what, they couldn't become a majestic tiger.
She can't say good things to make her mother happy, she doesn't dare to speak in front of her stranger-like father, and she even makes shoes and clothes to honor her parents and brothers, and the credit is taken away by Cui Yuwei.
Over time, she and Cui Yuying, the No. 2 transparent girl who had no mother, came together.
The two of them have nothing to do when they have nothing to do and gather by the fish pond to chat about tricks, they are poor and idle, and their lives are passable.
In Cui Yuzhen's heart, Cui Yuying is the kindest and gentlest person, and her status in her heart is far higher than that of Aunt Yun, who never dared to see her.
The two of them have lived a miserable life, but they haven't been too sad in recent years, until last year, Cui Yuzhen noticed that Cui Yuying had changed a little.
Since the beginning of autumn last year, Cui Yuying's brows have not been relaxed, even if she smiles at Cui Yuzhen and a few maids, she is worried. In addition, Cui Yuying often suddenly stops in a daze while embroidering, her eyes are empty and lifeless.
Meng Hui believes that Cui Yuying's sudden heart is unlikely to be for the sake of Prince Wen, nor is it likely to be for things outside the mansion.
First, Cui Yuying is often invited to enter and leave the Wen Mansion, and she is very clear about Mrs. Wen's attitude. According to Cui Yuzhen's impression, she is a very self-respecting person, and it is impossible to look forward to this marriage with a cheeky face.
Second, if she had the eldest son of Wen in her heart, and she would worry about him, it would be impossible for Cui Yuzhen, who was often with her, to be unconscious.
Third, Cui Yuying has almost no social activities except for the Wen Mansion and Cui Mansion, has no handkerchief handkerchiefs, and does not participate in the open and secret battles of the ladies, so the chance of being upset about things outside the mansion is very small.
Therefore, the source of Cui Yuying's worries is still within the Cui Mansion.
"Last year's ......" Meng Hui recalled carefully, "The only thing worth noting last year was that Cui Da snatched the maid from Cui Yuwei, and then the maid died of illness inexplicably." ”
"The robbery incident was in the summer, the maid died in the autumn, and Cui Yuying began to worry in the autumn." The time was right, but Meng couldn't figure out why.
"Cui Yuying is kind-hearted, but she won't be so sad about the death of a maid as she is, unless she knows something?" Meng Hui ran out of a fine sweat, heard footsteps outside, and looked out, the sky was already dark.
With a squeak, the door opened, and Ning Zhu walked into the house with hot water, and said, "The girl is up?" Let's wash up, Ninglu is coming back soon, and I have to go to the old lady to say goodbye to the old lady after eating something. ”
After last night, Ning Zhu felt closer to her own girl, and when she came over and saw her messy clothes, she couldn't help but be surprised: "How are you wearing this clothes?" It's all messed up! She stepped forward, helped Meng Hui dress up with her hands and feet, and hurriedly poured a basin of hot water for her to wash.
Meng Hui washed his face, rinsed his mouth with green salt and cloves, walked to the table with freshness, and was dumbfounded when he looked at the contents of the wooden box.
A cold steamed bun, a bowl of cold white porridge, a plate of pickles, gone.
Meng Hui screamed miserably for Cui Yuzhen, eating these early in the morning, it is strange to be able to grow meat! I knew I wouldn't be running just now, and I could save some energy.
Meng Hui gnawed on the cold steamed bun while complaining in his heart, and deeply despised himself for complaining that he had not eaten well in the past.
"Don't eat, go, please go!" The multigrain steamed buns are too hard, the white porridge is too thin, and then looking at the pickles that are not pulled, Meng Hui said that he would rather drink the northwest wind.
When she came to the main courtyard hungry, as soon as she stepped through the door, she was aroused by a burst of meat fragrance, and her stomach gurgled.
On the low table in the room, there are three baskets of delicately made small buns, three meats, three vegetables and six side dishes, the porridge with green vegetables and minced meat is boiled thick and fragrant, and a whole pot of chicken soup is placed next to it, and no one moves at all!
Master Cui, who had a shiny face and slightly bulging eyeballs, didn't lift his eyelids, completely ignoring his daughter's arrival. With a hypocritical smile on Wang's round face, he beckoned to Meng Hui: "Have you had breakfast?" Come, and I'll eat a little more. ”
Next to the two sat the white and chubby Cui Er, the little fat hand was stuffing the meat bun into his mouth, Meng Hui raised his eyes and glanced at it, it was still crab roe filling!
She was dizzy with hunger, so she came to sit down opposite Cui Er and picked up a bun. In order to maintain Cui Yuzhen's image, he deliberately only took a small bite.
Who knew that Master Cui frowned, threw his chopsticks on the table, and roared angrily: "Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?" Look at your virtue, and expect you to marry someone to fight for the family, I think I can only be embarrassed! ”
Wang was surprised that she was really invited to sit down, but when she saw that Master Cui was angry, she still acted as a fake good person. "The old man is angry, Yuzhen is still young, and now she is not sensible, and she will naturally be well-behaved when she marries."
Master Cui said impatiently: "Master Zheng will soon invite someone to come to the door to propose marriage, you take her to learn the rules!" ”
While serving vegetables to his son, Wang responded softly: "Yes, don't worry, master." ”
Meng Hui saw that the two of them looked like they just wanted to sell their women for money, but they didn't even want to give a few good meals, and he felt disgusted.
She planned to add a little block to the two of them, put down her chopsticks and lowered her head, and said softly: "I only saw cold steamed buns and cold white porridge in the morning, and I have never seen these good things. ”
The smile on Wang's face couldn't be contained, and Master Cui was even more nameless.
It's not that they don't know the kitchen, and they deduct Cui Yuzhen's meals and spend money on eating, drinking and gambling. But what these people do is very good for the Wang family's heart, and Master Cui doesn't care at all, so he just doesn't know.
Unexpectedly, Cui Yuzhen, who usually doesn't even dare to say the word "no", dared to expose it in front of her face today, and what they didn't expect was the next sentence......
"Last night I dreamed of my big sister, who cried to me that she was hungry and cold. I could only cry with her, but I came this morning, and I was really hungry and cold......"
