Chapter 286: Troubled Times
The two mothers and daughters have their own thoughts, but when it comes to Cui Xi'an, their thoughts are the same.
Cui Erniang said happily: "It's still my mother's way to use King Qian'an's wife to kill Cui Xi'an, a cheap girl, and you don't have to dirty your hands." ”
Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "I thought that this girl was hard-willed, and she withstood King Qian'an's restraint on her. Unexpectedly, this girl suffered at the beginning of this year. It can be seen that this person and thing still needs to think about it more. ”
Cui Erniang covered her mouth and smiled: "Isn't it?" ”
Cui Xi'an, who was outside the window, listened to the words of their mother and daughter completely, and made sure that the robbers were not found by them, so he left the main courtyard. The mother and daughter were uneasy and kind to her, but after all, they didn't hurt her, and she let them go. As for Mrs. Cui, she found a fiancé for Cui Xi'an, and wanted to kill Cui Xi'an with the idea of "wife...... Cui Xi'an only thought it was funny.
Leaving Mrs. Cui's courtyard, Cui Xi'an went to the study in the front yard where Master Cui lived. Of course, she didn't suspect that Master Cui was looking for robbers to rob her, she just wanted to see how Master Cui reacted at the moment. Did he feel a little sorry for removing his biological daughter from the family so neatly?
The answer is no, looking at Master Cui in the study, Cui Xi'an left silently. Then I went to the courtyard of Cui Dalangjun and Cui Erlangjun, these two have already married, and at night they play kissing with their beautiful wives and concubines, and they can't remember the girl who was snatched away.
Sure enough, I can't expect anything from the Cui family. Cui Xi'an sighed and returned to the "orphanage" with the three of Danxi who had nothing to gain.
After listening to the results of Songyan's inquiry, everyone was disappointed and puzzled: Cui Xi'an is not familiar with anyone else in the capital except the Cui family, except for the Cui family, who else would want to be unfavorable to her?
"Could it be the enemy of King Qian'an?" Cui Da suddenly thought of a possibility, "King Qian'an is not less kind to people than the eldest lady and knows people, King Qian'an is in a high position in the court, he must have offended a lot of people, is it that his enemies can't retaliate against King Qian'an, so he will take the people around him?" ”
Everyone thought about it quite right, wasn't Qian Yurou killed by her father's enemies? It can be seen that this kind of anger is very common.
Song Yan said suspiciously: "The first three fiancées of King Qian'an couldn't have been killed by his enemies, right?" Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that as soon as King Qian'an wanted to get married, his fiancée died unexpectedly? ”
Cui Er nodded in agreement: "This possibility is very high. ”
Cui Xi'an also agreed with Songyan's speculation and said, "I'll go to the palace tomorrow night to explore." ”
Turning his head to Songyan and the three of them: "Don't go, the guards of the palace must be stricter than the Cui family, and it is not easy for me to be found if I go alone." ”
The three of Songyan moved their mouths, thinking that Cui Xi'an was stronger than them, and nodded.
The next day, Cui Xi'an packed up with the children in the orphanage, and these children had to follow Cui Xi'an, and none of them chose to stay. There is a lot of preparation to leave, at least the nearby fields must be taken care of first. Sweet potatoes and corn were still planted in the fields, but they were not ripe and could not be harvested and taken away, but the children were reluctant to leave these sweet potatoes and corn behind. Not to mention that these sweet potatoes and corn are the fruits of their labor for several months, let's just say that these sweet potatoes and corn are food, and they can't throw them away, otherwise what will they eat in the future?
In the end, Cui Da thought of a way to exchange the fields and the crops in the field with the nearby wealthy households. The crops in their fields grew well, the land was fertile, and the proportion of exchange was that of the orphanage, and the rich families were naturally willing to exchange grain with them, and thus obtained a large amount of grain. When Cui Xi'an left Cui's mansion, she came back with a lot of good things from Mrs. Cui, and this time it was the last time, and she simply took all the good things from Mrs. Cui's private property. Cui Xi'an exchanged these things for more than a dozen ox carts, which were just used to transport grain, and the remaining few were used for riding.
Lotus took the girls to make some of the grain into dry food, which was convenient for eating on the road. The eldest grandson, Ruomeng and Qian Yurou, also wanted to help, but they didn't do any housework, but they helped. Lotus and the others wanted to ask the two of them not to do it again, but they were stopped by Cui Xi'an, and pointed out two easy jobs to the eldest grandson Ruomeng and Qian Yurou, and they gave them guidance on the side, so that the two of them could finally get started and no longer have to help.
The eldest grandson Ruomeng and Qian Yurou were very grateful to Cui Xi'an, and they willingly learned from the children in the orphanage and recognized Cui Xi'an as the master.
After dinner, Cui Xi'an went out, and at this moment the city gate was not closed, Cui Xi'an walked into the city gate as the last person to enter the city. She was wearing men's clothes, and her face was also smeared, and she looked like a young man, very inconspicuous. Walking down the street, without arousing anyone's idea.
There are still some pedestrians on the street, and there are still people sitting on the side of the road chatting and eating, they are chatting about the latest topics in the capital, and the protagonists of this latest topic are naturally her Cui Xi'an and King Qian'an, who killed a fiancée. If he wasn't one of King Qian'an's fiancées, Cui Xi'an would really have to sympathize with King Qian'an. This child is really miserable, he has died three fiancées in ten years, and with such a missing person, he will never be able to get rid of the hat of "Ke Wife". What, this person won't be a bachelor for the rest of his life, right?
It turns out that Cui Xi'an thinks too much, although the king of Qian'an has no wife, he has countless concubines, and he doesn't need to beat a single person at all.
Cui Xi'an entered the Qian'an Palace, walked around the palace, and found that there was a courtyard in the palace to house the concubines and beauties of the King of Qian'an. If King Qian'an has such a physiological need, he will let people take one out of the courtyard and bring that thing. The whole practice is the same as the emperor recruiting harem beauties to sleep, and there is almost no green head card.
The yard is not small, but it is very large, and there are many houses in it, but so many beauties live in the yard, but it seems crowded. In order to compete for favor and better treatment, these women are constantly intriguing, which is as exciting and murderous as a harem drama. Every year, two or three beauties die in the palace of Qian'an, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are all killed by the king of Qian'an, but in fact, they are all killed by the failure of the struggle in the backyard.
Cui Xi'an sneaked into the courtyard and watched the show for a while before leaving, and her sympathy for King Qian'an was gone, and she even suspected that King Qian'an's first three fiancées were all sent by King Qian'an to kill them. There are so many beautiful women in the harem, what else do you want your wife to do? Doesn't having a wife hinder your enjoyment?
