In another place, the Sven man hurriedly returned to the mansion, and the little guy guarding the gate of the mansion saw him coming back, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young master, you are back." ”

"What's the matter, there's something going on in the house?" Cui Zhen asked.

The little girl followed him and walked in, and whispered: "It's not that there is an accident, it's just that the young lady doesn't seem to be in a good mood, and the master hasn't come back yet." ”

"Daddy hasn't come back yet?" Cui Zhen was a little surprised, and immediately frowned, "I'll go to my mother's side first." ”

"Whoa." The little guy answered and hurriedly led the way in front.

Mrs. Cui hadn't slept yet, and after the maidservant girl next to her removed the hairpin and other jewelry on her head, she slowly took care of her green hair.

Mrs. Cui looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes were a little trance-like.

She has given birth to two children, and now she is in her thirties, and she is no longer the young lady she was back then

As she gets older, she looks much rougher, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes have already grown finely and densely, reminding her of the cruel fact that she has become old.

Although she and her husband are in love as always, every time she looks at her aging self in the bronze mirror, she will inevitably feel a little uneasy in her heart, worried that one day, her husband will be in the body

There will be more brightly colored young women on the side.

A soft sigh overflowed from her lips, and Mrs. Cui's eyes were complicated.

It happened that the maid on the side said: "Madam, there is a gray hair here, is it ......?"

"Pull it out." Mrs. Cui said lightly, but it was not a taste in her heart.

At this time, a maidservant girl came over to report that the eldest young master was coming.

"Zhen'er is here?" Mrs. Cui felt strange in her heart, so she sent a little maid to invite someone over.

It's been this hour, why is this eldest son still coming here?

"Mother, you haven't slept yet?" Cui Zhen entered the room, and Mrs. Cui sent the maids beside her down: "I'm about to sleep, why are you here?" ”

"I heard that my father hasn't come back yet, and my son is thinking that my mother should still be waiting for my father to come back, so I came to visit my mother." Cui Zhen said with a smile.

When Mrs. Cui heard this, she couldn't help but show a gentle smile on her face, although she was worried that she and her husband would not be able to grow old together in the future, but her daughter and son were both intimate and filial

, which comforted her a lot.

She said gently: "Your father should have been pulled by other things, and it's getting late, so you should go back and rest early." ”

Cui Zhen said: "Don't worry, mother, look at this." As he spoke, he took out from his sleeve something wrapped in a brocade handkerchief.

There are two small and delicate jade porcelain bowls in the veil, which look very exquisite, although the lid has not yet been opened, there is already a unique and fragrant fragrance wafting from this jade porcelain bowl

It smells very good.

"It is said that this is a beauty and beauty product developed by Angelica Angelica, which can rejuvenate and nourish the skin and become young after use, so the son specially asked to give it to his mother, so that his mother was happy

Prosper. Cui Zhen said with a smile.

Madame Cui's heart moved, and she opened two jade porcelain bowls, one of which was a pale pink with a slight pearl luster, and the other was a red with delicate raindrops like petals

, exudes a delicate and bewitching luster under the candlelight, and it is very beautiful.

Mrs. Cui showed a hint of love in her eyes she had also used a lot of rouge lipstick and didn t feel anything dissatisfied in the past but compared to the two things in front of her once she

I think the rouge lipstick that is easy to use and smells good is instantly compared to inferior goods, the color is not as delicate and good-looking, and the fragrance is completely inferior to the two in front of me.

"It's really good," Mrs. Cui carefully closed the lid, with a hint of joy between her eyebrows, "Zhen'er's heart, my mother accepted it." ”

Regardless of whether the effect after using this is as miraculous as Cui Zhen said, with such filial piety, she is already very happy.

After getting up the next morning, Mrs. Cui got up and sat in front of the dressing mirror, and the maid next to her was waiting for her to dress up

He took out the two things and commanded lightly, "Let's use these two things today." ”

"Yes." The maid on the side answered, and began to dress up neatly.

In the front hall, Master Cui is sitting on the upper seat, Cui Ya and Cui Zhen are sitting on one side, the food has been served, and the remaining two side rooms have also been seated, Mrs. Cui's

The seat was still empty.

"Is my mother unwell today?" Cui Ya was a little worried.

Mrs. Cui has always been very punctual, and it is the first time that someone has not yet come to order a meal like this.

When Master Cui heard this, he was also a little anxious, he was still very concerned about his wife, and immediately said to the eldest son who was sitting on the side: "Zhen'er, you go to see your mother, isn't it."

I waited too late last night and caught a cold. ”

He also knew that his wife always had to wait for him to come back before going to sleep, although he had persuaded him several times, but it was useless, and in the end he had to give up, so he could only come back early, but last night was really a thing

I stumbled on my feet, and I thought that the night was cold and dewy, and it was indeed easy to get cold.

When Cui Zhen heard this, he was just about to get up and leave, when there was a touch of figure at the door of the front hall, and Lianbu moved lightly to the table and sat down.

"Mother?" Cui Ya looked at Mrs. Cui who was seated, opened her mouth slightly, and there was surprise in her eyes.

Mrs. Cui coughed uncomfortably, and her face was slightly red.

However, she didn't dare to look at Master Cui on the side, because she could feel the equally amazing and hot gaze of Master Cui on the side.

After she had just dressed up, she was also amazed by herself in the mirror. It's just a change of rouge and lipstick, but the whole person is inexplicably bright and moving, no

The aroma that emanated inadvertently was even more refreshing, and she looked at the bronze mirror for a while, and then missed the time to eat.

Master Cui couldn't help but take her hand below, and said with a smile: "Madame is really beautiful today." "And there's an inexplicably refreshing aroma.

Mrs. Cui's face was even redder, and she struggled for a while but she couldn't get out, so she had to give up, she turned her eyes and glanced at the ugly faces of the two side rooms sitting at the bottom of the head, but her mood was

Suddenly I was a little happy.

Cui Ya on the side was keenly aware that such a change seemed to be related to the things used by Mrs. Cui, and her eyes turned around, but she didn't say anything.

Shen Zhi didn't know about the turmoil in the Shen Mansion, but she could more or less guess it.

Although this rouge and lipstick did not use very precious materials such as ginseng pearl beauty flowers like Xu Ban's casual nonsense, they were also quite expensive

The ones sold in the stalls outside can't be compared at all, plus the recipe for making rouge and lipstick is something she figured out from that medical book, so to speak

It was the only one in the capital.

She didn't care who she sold it to, what she wanted was for such a thing to spread among the nobles and daughters, and the Rong family would naturally think of looking for her at that time.

But in order to make Rong a little nervous, should she do something else?

Shen Zhi supported his chin slightly with one hand, and his eyes drooped carelessly, hiding the coldness under his eyes.

That afternoon, the Shen Mansion was as calm as ever, as if the bustle and noise of the outside world had been separated from afar, and the waves set off by Shen Yun's Emperor Phoenix Destiny had gradually calmed down

。

However, no one expected that this afternoon, the people of the Cui Mansion suddenly boarded the gate of the Shen Mansion.

When he entered the qin, he heard the news as soon as he entered the qin, but when he heard this, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he rubbed his wrist that was a little sour while holding the pen and painting: "Let's go, go and see." ”

Irikoto looked at her in surprise.

Shen Zhi knew why the other party was so surprised, she basically didn't go out of the yard much during this time, even if she heard something lively outside, she wouldn't take the initiative to go up, this time Shen

He hadn't let anyone come over to pass the word yet, but she took the initiative to ask for a look, no wonder Izumi was surprised.

However, this time is different, this is a good play that she participated in, and she wants to take a good look at how this play will develop.

What's more, right now, because of the arrival of someone from Cui's Mansion, Shen He and the Rong family are probably dealing with each other with one mind, and they don't have any mind to care about her.

Here, Shen Zhi was thinking in his heart, but over there, Shen He had some bad feelings in his heart.

He didn't expect Cui Fu to come directly, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he still knows a little about Cui Shangshu and Sun Shangshu, Sun Shangshu is relatively middle-of-the-road, easy to say

said something, so at that time, he chose to let people go to Sun's mansion first to apologize, and the posture was in place, Sun Shangshu was unwilling to lose face, and in the end, it was over.

However, Cui Shangshu is far from being so easy to deal with, although Cui Shangshu is not the kind of person who will fall into the well, but he is a well-known old-fashioned and stubborn person, if he identifies one

matter, he will definitely linger in his heart, and he will not give up until he solves it.

This kind of temperament is really difficult to deal with, Shen He thought about it again and again, but before he could come up with a solution, this Cui Mansion came directly to find someone.

Hearing this news, Shen He was immediately a little stunned, and hurriedly asked someone from Cui Mansion to be invited into the mansion, while still pondering what excuses and excuses to give

The matter dragged on until he came up with a solution.

As a result, without waiting for him to come up with an excuse, the little guy directly said cautiously with a bitter face: "It's the eldest young master of the Cui Mansion and Miss Cui who are here." ”

Shen He felt a sigh in his heart, he never thought that the person who came from Cui's Mansion was not the person he thought would send a messenger at will, but the eldest young master and young lady

。

The difference between the two is completely different!

Many thoughts flashed through Shen He's mind, but he asked, "What about people?" ”

The little guy hurriedly said, "It's been brought to the front hall." ”

vestibule

Cui Zhen and Cui Ya sat there, and the maid respectfully served two cups of tea and then stepped aside, and after a while, Shen He entered the front hall: "I just heard that someone from Cui's Mansion is coming, I don't yet."

I know who it is, it is Young Master Cui and Miss Cui. ”

As he spoke, the smile on his face was even more hearty: "This is a rare guest, why did the two of you come here today, is there something Lord Cui wants to order?" ”

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, Shen He put on this enthusiastic appearance as soon as he came, and no one could say anything with a stiff face.

Cui Zhen replied with a light smile: "Lord Shen is serious, the adult and his father are officials in the same dynasty, and it is pure nonsense to ask for a talk. Cui Ya on the side also blessed her body slightly and said one

voice: "Senior Cui Ya, I have seen Lord Shen." ”
