Chapter 286: The Best Choice (Part 1)
Lizhuang is a Zhuangzi that Cui Yi bought when he first came to Chang'an, which was originally used for temporary settlement, but after Cui Lin came, he bought another house in Chang'an City, which became the residence of chasing electricity and Lantern Festival.
Zheng Yuan's carriage slowly stopped in front of the Zhuangzi gate, the maid opened the curtain and helped her get out of the car, she looked up at the elegant plaque, her face couldn't help but smile, thinking that Cui Lin invited her to Zhuangzi to meet, the sweet joy in her heart couldn't be suppressed, she bit her lip and blushed, and told the maid to arrange the dress for her and go to the Zhuangzi.
It was only when she entered Zhuangzi and arrived at the pavilion near the Bahe River that she realized that Cui Lin was not only waiting for her, but also Cui Yi with an uncomfortable face.
She couldn't hide her disappointment, and finally curtsy her knees: "Linlang, Qilang is also there." ”
Cui Yi coughed lightly: "Fifth brother, I asked Xiaoyuan and Dafang to prepare tea and soup, but they are not familiar with Zhuangzi, do you want me to ......?"
Cui Lin glanced up at him, just a calm glance, which made Cui Yi hurriedly shut up, blinking and turning his head to look away.
"Mrs. Zheng, I have something to say to you." Cui Lin turned to look at Zheng Yuan, his voice still cold and beautiful.
It's just that the words Mrs. Zheng made Zheng Yuan's smile stiffen, and she went to the side of the couch and sat down: "Yes." ”
Cui Lin got up, slowly paced to the edge of the pavilion, looked at the Bahe River flowing quietly not far from the pavilion, and said in a flat tone: "The Cui family and the Zheng family are world friends, I am very grateful for the support of the Zheng family over the years, if anything happens in the future, the Cui family will also spare no effort to help, and the Zheng family will help each other." ”
"The eldest lady helped take care of A-Ning before, I am very grateful, but A-Ning is young, and my A-niang dotes on her too much, so she has a delicate temperament and is easy to listen to the mercy of others, if she can't teach her well, I'm afraid that she will be completely raised," Cui Lin's voice did not fluctuate, as if he was stating a very ordinary thing, "Mrs. Zheng's kindness, I and Qilang both understand it, but it will still be ...... in the future."
His words were like a slap, hitting Zheng Yuan's face all at once, killing all her original joy and sweetness, leaving only an embarrassing paleness, she bit her lip and clenched her hands tightly, and finally opened her mouth regardless of it, interrupting Cui Lin's words: "Linlang, I have something to say, you listen to me." ”
Cui Lin turned to look at her, his eyes were cold, but he didn't refuse after all: "Big lady, please speak." ”
Zheng Yuan gritted her teeth, forced her tears to squeeze out a smile, and glanced at Cui Yi: "Qilang, you leave first, I have something to say to Linlang alone." ”
Cui Yi was originally sitting on pins and needles, and when he heard her say this, he almost jumped up: "Fifth brother, I'll take a look first, those two rabbit cubs are too grinding, why don't you bring tea and soup." ”
Seeing him walk out of the pavilion without stopping, and walked out like running away, Cui Lin raised his eyebrows and sat back on the couch: "What does the eldest lady have to say?" ”
Zheng Yuan looked at the cold handsome face, and only felt that the grievances in his chest could not be suppressed, why, why did he treat himself like this, why did he care so much about that woman, and even wanted to ......
Thinking of this, she forced herself to cheer up and held a smile: "Linlang, since you came to Chang'an from Boling, the eldest lady has not been at ease, but I am afraid that you and Qilang have no one to take care of here, after all, it is not as proper as in the house, so I wrote a letter to my mother, and I brought A-Ning over." ”
"Actually, the meaning of the clan is also known to Linlang, and I am also ......" she said this, her face was crimson, delicately like a hibiscus flower about to open, and she continued after a while: "I have gained a lot of knowledge when I come back to Chang'an, and I used to be far inferior to Chang'an in Xingyang and Boling." ”
"In the past, I only listened to the teachings of the clan, saying that they should not have too much contact with the Chang'an Guifu, let alone be too secret, saying that they were just from a barbarian and humble background, but they were just a momentary success, and they were not as good as our Guanlong surnames, and the status of the century-old family was noble......" She pursed her lips, seeing that Cui Lin did not interrupt her words, there was a glimmer of hope in her heart, "But I came to Chang'an, but I think it may not be the case, at least there are a few ladies who are excellent, and I admire and like them very much." ”
"Needless to say, the six ladies of the Cen family will be unspeakably expensive in the future, and there will be the lord of Lingling." When she said Gu Mingzhu, her tone became long, but her smile was even more gentle, "The appearance and temperament of the county lord are first-class, I liked it when I first saw him, I just hate that it is not my own sister, it is better to be closer, presumably Linlang is like me." ”
Cui Lin's face was even more cold when he heard Gu Mingzhu, staring at Zheng Yuan coldly, his thin lips were straight, Zheng Yuan knew that he was unhappy, although his face looked like Fang Cai, but he knew him as carefully as she did, but she noticed it, but she couldn't help but say it.
"If Linlang is willing, I am willing to go back and tell the eldest lady in person, and ask the elders of the two clans to agree, so that the county lord of Lingling will also follow back to Boling," her heart beat faster and faster, and she mustered up great courage to say, looking at Cui Lin intently, only looking forward to his response, "As long as Linlang and you and I follow the arrangement of the clan...... I will inevitably say that Mrs. Tong, they will take the county lord back to Boling, and I will treat her well in the future, treat her as my own sister, and make peace with her......"
When she said this, her face was already blushing, this is by no means what a lady from a family should say, even if it is an open-minded lady of your mansion, she must not say such a shameless thing, but what can she do, Cui Lin's temperament is unknown to others, but she is clear, once he decides, even the Cui family can't change his plans, she can only rely on herself, relying on the only reliance that can make him change his mind to persuade him.
He will agree, won't he, because even if he cares about Gu Mingzhu no matter how much he cares about it, it is useless, because the Cui family will not agree to let Cui Lin marry a woman from Chang'an Guifu, only her, only she can let Gu Mingzhu enter Cui Mansion, as long as he is willing to marry her.
She slowly settled down in her heart, raised her head and looked at Cui Lin, no longer panicked, but even more sure, he would agree, because this is the best choice, not only with the support of the Zheng family, but also with Gu Mingzhu, no one will refuse such a thing.
And Cui Lin has always been a terrifying person, how could she miss such a good choice, she just needs to wait for Cui Lin to nod and go back safely and start arranging Gu Mingzhu's affairs.
