Chapter 29: The Sorrowful Concubine of Cui Mansion (27)

King Duan is the younger brother of the emperor of this dynasty, he has no real power in hand, he is idle all day long, and he often likes to make big news in the city.

Sometimes it's soup kitchen, sometimes it's catching the thief on the street and twisting it to the government, but that time everyone said that from "thief" to "catching" to "twisting and sending to the government", it was all arranged by the prince himself.

Because he loves to be in the limelight, there is no one in Kyoto who does not recognize his face. Even Cui Yuzhen, who rarely goes out to hang out, has seen him directing carriages on the street, so Ning Zhu recognized him at a glance.

Looking through Cui Yuzhen's memory to find out the information of this prince, Meng Hui breathed a sigh of relief. At the beginning, when she heard that she was a relative of the emperor, she was worried that she would cause a big incident and cause the entire Cui Mansion to suffer, but she finally no longer had any scruples at this time.

"What a great opportunity to send it to your door!"

Meng Hui wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, and almost shed two lines of crystal seven-colored tears, thanks to the ancestors for their blessings, thanks to CCTVMTV for all kinds of TVs, when she didn't have the silver to do things, she sent such an amiable person as Duanwang!

"Duanwang has a high status, and with a wave of his hand, he can make them suffer. But King Duan is not the younger brother of the emperor's mother, he has no real power, not to mention, and he is not treated by the emperor, at most, he can only make the master and Cui suffer greatly. ”

Master Cui is the one who receives the emperor's grain, although the emperor doesn't even know whether he is flat or round, but King Duan will never dare to attack the whole family of court officials for the sake of an outer room.

However, attacking Master Cui and Cui Da Deity is not so bad.

Ning Lu and Ning Zhu smiled so much that they couldn't see their teeth, and after a while, Ning Zhu asked again: "Girl, what should we do to let King Duan know?" ”

That's a problem! Meng Hui touched his head, there was no reporting hotline these years, and it was purely whimsical to want to talk to Duanwang.

Duanwang usually loves to be down-to-earth, but if she learns from the heroine in the TV series to stop carriages and people, except that she is beaten so much that she doesn't even know Ning Zhu, there will be no other result.

Ning Zhu saw that she didn't have a good way, so she lowered her voice to the lowest and said, "Why don't you ...... Let's get the word out about it! ”

Meng Hui looked at her tangledly, unable to make up his mind for a long time. "If it is publicized, King Duan will definitely get the news, but everyone will know about it, what if he doesn't retaliate?"

"That's Lord Duan! You forget, once he was good friends in the Qinglou, and was bought by a wealthy businessman from other places at a high price, he smashed the Qinglou, not to mention, and sent someone to the rich businessman to snatch the person back. ”

Hearing Ning Zhu talk about this, Ning Lu also muttered: "That rich merchant was beaten so badly!" ”

Cui Yuzhen didn't take this matter to heart, her memory was vague, and Meng Hui couldn't remember it at all. After hearing this, I felt that it was indeed feasible to let the news out, but I just wanted to find a safe way not to involve them.

"After a while, I will go to Madame again, and I will say that I have not been to the grave this time, and I am uneasy, so I ask you to burn some paper again. You take this opportunity to go to Zhangjia Village and talk to Lian'er. ”

Meng Hui didn't forget to instruct: "Lian'er has no enmity with the master and Cui Da, she just wants to take revenge on Cui Yuwei who drove her away, you have to tell her that this matter is related to Cui Yuwei's marriage." Whether Cui Yuwei marries into a high family and becomes a noblewoman, or falls into the dust and no one marries, it all depends on whether she can spread the news. ”

Ning Zhu quickly made a draft in his mind. "Don't worry, girl, I know what to say. It's getting late, so let's rest. ”

The moonlight poured like mercury on the ground, and it was like a hazy fog, which dyed the night that should have been dark and cold with a bit of dreamy color.

Meng Hui slept very sweetly this night, and woke up refreshed. It was still dawn outside, and she stumbled for a while, until the sound of condensation and condensation came from outside.

Breakfast is still hard steamed buns and gruel, and nothing has changed. Just as Meng Hui was trying to soften the steamed buns with hot tea, there was a sudden commotion outside. Ning Zhu ran out, and soon ran in again.

"Girl, Aunt Li died of a sudden illness last night."

Meng Hui was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to normal. She nodded to indicate that she understood, and then continued to use chopsticks to open the steamed buns, and when she saw that the bubble was almost complete, she picked it up and took a bite.

She is not completely awkward in her heart, as a modern person, it is inevitable to find that people here can die of "sudden illness" at any time, and it is inevitable that she is a little embarrassed. But it was impossible for her to sympathize with Aunt Li. So this awkwardness comes and goes faster.

Especially when I think of Cui Yuying, and then look at Aunt Li's death, there are only two words left left: "deserved".

*

Aunt Li's death can't affect the cold-hearted Master Cui, nor can it affect Cui Da and Cui Yuwei. The degree of indifference of these two people was a bit beyond Meng Hui's expectations.

Meng Hui went to Wang's house every day to ask for peace, and occasionally took advantage of Master Cui's absence to have a cheeky breakfast. Cui Yuwei still looks like a little pet, and she can't see any sadness.

Cui Da met her head-on, but I don't know why, he didn't mention the matter of the wishful knot, and he didn't look at Meng Hui much before walking outside the house. He was in a hurry to go out, with a secret and lascivious smile on his face, and Meng Hui estimated that he was probably looking for the outer room at the end of the street.

Master Cui is still the same as usual, eating Ma Ma Xiang and his body is very good, as a cultural person, he didn't even write a poem for the loss of Bai Yueguang!

The only person in the house who has changed is Aunt Yun, who has been a neighbor with Aunt Li for many years. I don't know if it was because of the injury or some other reason, Aunt Yun reported to the Wang family, turned the courtyard into a small Buddha hall, and began to lead the practice.

Meng Hui would go to see her every now and then, but she still received her warmly, and she looked more relaxed than before.

More than half a month has passed, and Aunt Li has been completely forgotten, and even Mrs. Liu, who loves to chew the root of her tongue the most, is no longer mentioned. Fortunately, because of this incident, the gossip that Cui Da and the outer room got together has not yet spread from the kitchen circle to the major courtyards for the time being.

Early in the morning, when Meng Hui asked An to see that Master Cui was not there, and Hongying was not there, Wang was still happy, and simply gave up the opportunity to eat crystal shrimp dumplings, and proposed to let Ning Zhu go to the grave on his behalf.

"I went back to burn paper for my eldest sister, but the weather was bad and I didn't make it, I kept this thing in my heart, and I really couldn't let it go." Meng Hui pretended to rub the corners of his eyes, and said softly, "The weather is good today, I want Ningzhu to run again." ”

"Let her go." Wang waved his hand and responded briskly.

Cui Yuwei, who was rubbing her shoulders and pinching her back, seized the opportunity to ask: "Mother, is there any happy event today?" Let's rejoice! ”

Meng Hui pouted, and when she died, her mother came to inquire about happy things, and she was really lacking in heart.

Wang didn't care, and said quite happily: "It's a happy event, I found a good family for Hongying, and I will do it in a few days." ”
