Chapter 101: Cui Zhending returns
"What is grandmother looking for Shu'er?"
Cui Ranshu helped the old lady into the room, at this time there were only the two of them in the room, and before the old lady could speak, Cui Ranshu knew what the old lady was going to say, and she owed it.
"It's all up to my grandmother."
The old lady looked at the child she had raised with satisfaction.
"Don't you ask whose son-in-law it is?"
"If you can enter the eyes of your grandmother, you must not be bad, Shu'er believes in grandmother."
"Alas! Or are you well-behaved. ”
The old lady took Cui Ranshu into her arms and touched her back.
"It's a pity that my heart, fortunately, I want to marry Lang'er in the future, after all, I am a member of my Cui family."
Cui Ranshu, who was leaning on the old lady's arms, stiffened, and then pretended to lament.
"I think my heart seems to like my second brother more."
"Nonsense, they grew up together as brothers and sisters, and besides, she and Lang'er were married by the emperor."
"It's Shu'er who lost her words, and in the future, she will treat it as if she doesn't know and never say it again."
Cui Ranshu approached the old lady's arms again, but the old lady thoughtfully looked into the distance.
After lunch and a short rest, the carriage of the Guogong Mansion left the Xutu Temple again, and the carriage was tripped and bumped by the protruding stones a few times as it traveled.
Cui Ranxin looked at the grasshopper that fell from Cui Ranshu's sleeve, and Cui Ranshu hurriedly went to pick it up.
"Third sister, this gadget is exquisitely knitted, can you show me."
"What's not to do."
Cui Ranxin took it in his hand and played with it for a while, and returned it to Cui Ranshu.
"Third sister, where did you come from, I also want to ask for one."
"I picked it up in the Zen courtyard just now, and I kept it when I looked cute, and if my sister likes it, I'll give it to you."
Cui Ranxin pushed back: "Since you have only one, I still don't want it." ”
Maybe it's because everything is going according to her own plan, so Cui Ranshu is in a good mood, and she has more things to talk about along the way.
"When you weren't there just now, we met the old lady of the Wang family, she pulled her grandmother and said a word, I saw that my grandmother had been smiling very happily, and I vaguely heard them mention the names of you and the second son of the Wang family."
Cui Ranxin revealed the news that Cui Ranshu wanted her to inquire about Wang Yicai's personality in advance, she couldn't forget the experience when she was in Xijing, he didn't marry Lu Lin, and it was not good for her to express her opinion, but she didn't want her sister to marry someone like that.
"Girl, you make fun of me too." Choi Dye-sook made a gesture to hit Choi Dye-sook
"No, I just don't know what Wang Gongzi is like, I'm worried about my sister."
Choi Ran-sook took advantage of the situation to hold her hands and pulled her to her side, and the two of them were next to each other.
"If you have time to worry about me, you might as well worry about your second brother, your mind can't hide from me. Now that you're not brother and sister, there's nothing you can't do. ”
Cui Ranshu's last sentence was very small, but it was so close, Cui Ranxin really heard it.
She looked at the other party stupidly, "I think I'm hiding it well, you've found out!" ”
In the face of Cui Ranxin's frank admission and trust in himself, Cui Ranshu didn't know what to do. looked at each other's eyes, a little complicated.
"Tease you, he will always be my dearest brother."
Cui Ranxin smiled and scratched Cui Ranshu, and the two of them laughed in the carriage.
As soon as the carriage entered the city, more than a dozen war horses galloped behind him, and the middle-aged man led by the horse stopped his horse, and his sharp eyes had already recognized the general as the grandfather of the country - Cui Zhending.
The curtains of the two carriages at the front were lifted, and the general on the horse said to the carriage at the head: "The child will go to the palace first, and then go home to greet his mother." ”
Fu said to the second carriage, "Madam, wait for me—"
Fu Qingluan didn't have time to take a closer look at the person on horseback, but there was only the back left.
The armored warrior on the horse, his eyes were slightly red, and he scolded his mother, "Fuck you, cry a fart!" ”
He joined the army at the age of thirteen and went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, and more than 20 years of eventful years made him as rough as the desert northern wasteland he guarded, no longer gentle and humble.
At this time, Cui Zhen blocked his throat and couldn't speak anymore.
Cui Zhending's return has made the mood of the entire Guogong Mansion high, he is the pillar and hope of the entire mansion, because of his existence, the Guogong Mansion has today's dignity, so people are extra careful to prepare dinner today.
When Cui Ranxin poked her head out to look, she had long since disappeared, and in her memory, there was almost no impression of this father, and the number of times she saw him was less than the number of times she saw King Hechang.
But she can't forget, when she was a child, she once played into the small hole of the rockery, but stuck in it and couldn't get out, just when everyone was in a panic, the tall and rugged figure, with his bare hands, broke the stone little by little, just for fear of hurting her, and finally pulled her out of it, the other party's ten fingers were already bloody.
Ignoring the pain on his hands, he held her in his arms and coaxed her, and when he found that the blood on his hands stained her skirt, he actually apologized to himself.
Cui Ran was stunned, helped her by sake, and remembered one more thing, because she likes to eat chestnuts, but every time she peels the trouble, he knows, when the chestnuts are ripe, he peels a whole Weng and sends them back, but he doesn't know that when they are sent back, those chestnuts have already grown hair.
Later, every time he came back in autumn except for the New Year's festival, he said with a smile: "Come back and peel chestnuts for you." ”
Everyone waited left and right in Wanhe Hall, and finally heard the footsteps of the people at the door, Fu Qingluan grabbed Cui Ranxin's hand, and she was in pain.
Cui Zhending didn't have time to take off his armor, and knelt heavily on the ground, and the two brothers behind him, Cui Zhenjing and Cui Zhenyan, as well as Cui Jiuxuan and Cui Jiuan, also knelt on the ground together.
"Son—come, mother—"
The old lady helped Mama Liu's limbs tremble and moved forward, Cui Zhending strode forward and knelt at the old lady's feet again, the old lady reached out and hugged the other party's head, crying silently.
"Children are not filial, and they cannot be filial in front of their mother's bed."
The man who never bends down in front of the enemy crawls forward in front of his mother, tears like rain.
The old lady held back her tears, helped Cui Zhending up, and her eyes were red, "Go and say a few words to your daughter-in-law!" ”
Cui Zhending strode forward, holding Fu Qingluan's hand, a strong iron man, chivalrous and tender, red eyes, red face, and held back a sentence for a long time, "It's hard for you!" ”
Fu Qingluan looked at each other with a pair of teary eyes, and after listening to him, she cried even more, and Mama Fu hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Cui Zhending looked at Cui Ranxin, and wanted to reach out to touch his daughter, who was almost to his shoulder, but his hand stopped in mid-air, withdrew and stretched into the armor, put it on his clothes and wiped it, and then stretched it out again, Cui Ranxin couldn't hold back, threw himself into the other party's broad chest, his cheek was attached to the cold armor, but his heart was so hot that he was pounding.
Different from Du Youjia's medicinal fragrance, Cui Zhending has a smell of rust all year round, which is the smell of weapons, armor, and blood.
Although there have been no major wars in the past few years, he has always been a little wanton and provocative, no matter how big or small the conflict is, he will personally lead the troops into battle, and his body is not less bloody.
"Daddy—I miss you so much—"
Hearing Cui Ranxin's call, Cui Zhending's tears flowed.
"Hey! Daddy will come back and peel chestnuts for you. ”
"Daddy liars that there are no chestnuts this season."
Cui Ranxin cried, raised his head, wiped his tears and said.
"Daddy said yes, it has."
Twelve-year-old Cui Jiuyuan looked at Cui Zhending for several years, he was only seven or eight years old when he left last time, and he looked nervously at their father and daughter at this time.
Cui Zhending put his arms around Cui Jiuyuan and rubbed the top of his hair rudely.
"Little bunny, it's growing so fast, it only passed my waist when it walked, and now it's almost up to my chest."
Cui Jiuyuan secretly wiped his eyes, didn't speak, just drilled into Cui Zhending's arms.
"What are you doing, I want Lao Tzu to invite you here." Cui Zhending yelled at Cui Jiu'an.
Cui Jiuan looked sad at this time, and moved his steps closer.
"What are you doing with a sad face, you haven't eaten at this step, have you?"
Just when Cui Jiu'an approached, Cui Zhending kicked forward, fortunately Cui Jiu'an was prepared to dodge, otherwise he would have been lame for half a month, but he ignored Cui Zhending's raised hand, but that hand was raised high but fell gently, landing on the back of his neck, and the calloused hand rubbed vigorously on it, and after a while, it turned hot and red.
