Chapter 553: The Cui Family, a Great Family (Page 1/1)

Mrs. Cui's carriage was spacious and stable, and the old lady Cui, who had gray temples, leaned on the big pillow with her eyes half-closed, but the kind wrinkles in the past were tense at this time, the corners of her mouth were slightly drooping, her face looked very cold, and the maids kneeling on the side hung their heads and did not dare to take a second look.

Only Qin Niang smiled slightly, used a copper pick to dial the hollow silver sachet on the side, put down an incense tower, and then sat down beside Mrs. Cui: "A few days ago, my aunt asked someone to send a letter, saying that the medicinal materials sent by the old lady have been received, and my uncle and grandmother are very grateful, and specially let people send two sets of azure smoke and rain tea sets, which are about to arrive in Boling." ”

Old Madam Cui opened her eyes at this time, looked at the smiling Qin Niang, and sighed: "It must be you who took out your own things to make a face for them, where would they think about sending something good, but they are just thinking about what I have in my hand." ”

She patted Qin Niang's hand: "Good boy, they treat you like that, but you still think about them all the time." ”

Qin Niang blushed and said in a low voice: "How good can you do to me when you say this, after all, I am also a member of the Xun family." She stepped forward gently and softly and sat down beside Mrs. Cui: "You said that small families will fight for that extra bit of family wealth, let alone people like us." It is inevitable that there will be some thoughts, and the old lady does not have to worry too much, this is also because all of you are excellent, so naturally there will be a few more twists and turns. ”

When Mrs. Cui heard this, she felt a lot more ironing in her heart, and she was worried about the Cui family's competition for the position of the son of the sect in the past few days, but she was afraid that it would make a few rooms suspicious.

She also had a smile on her face, and looked at the supple Qin Niang: "Okay, I know your filial piety, you don't have to spend so much effort to make me happy next time, what your father left you are your companions in the future, and you will keep them well." ”

Qin Niang looked at Mrs. Cui with a pair of bright eyes: "If it weren't for my aunt and grandmother protecting me, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where I was going to be for a long time, and how could I keep these things outside my body, and now I can make you happy It is also my blessing." ”

Old Madam Cui nodded: "You are a good boy, now I am thinking about setting a good family affair for you, and I am worthy of your grandfather and grandmother." ”

When Qin Niang heard this, her heart was tight, but she lowered her head shyly on her face, not daring to answer Mrs. Cui's words again.

The long convoy stopped in front of the Cui Mansion, the old lady Cui got out of the carriage with Qin Niang, the eldest lady Cui took Gu Mingzhu, the second lady, the third lady and the Wang family, Zheng Yuan, and Xie also got out of the carriage, and the servants of the Cui Mansion all stepped forward to salute and welcome the master back.

Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui took their daughter-in-law to send Mrs. Cui to Songhe Garden, but they were refused, she asked Qin Niang to support herself, and said to everyone lightly: "After taking the car for most of the day, you are tired of wanting to come, and you don't have to accompany you anymore." ”

The second lady's face was a little disappointed for a while, she had been thinking of staying in front of the old lady for a while in the past few days, just to talk to the old lady about the sect, but the old lady refused to see her more, and even sent them away, leaving only Qin Niang to serve in front of her, looking unwilling to talk more.

She couldn't help frowning, her tone was not very good, and said to Xie Shi and Zheng Yuan: "Let's go, go back to the courtyard." ”

It seems that the old lady hasn't made up her mind yet, otherwise she wouldn't have seen anyone like this, is she still going to give the third room? Second Mrs. Cui's heart couldn't help sinking, and she turned her head to look at the third lady who was walking quietly with the Wang family, and then withdrew her gaze and left.

The Xie family who followed behind her was as honest and obedient as ever, and when she heard the old lady say this, she followed the second lady without saying a word, but Zheng Yuan looked at Qin Niang, and then at Gu Mingzhu, who was following behind Mrs. Cui, and a cool smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The day before she came back, she went to see Qin Niang, and knocked on the side to mention that the old lady of Ticui and the eldest lady discussed a family matter for her, although Qin Niang did not answer, but Zheng Yuan could see that the haze in Qin Niang's eyes was too late to hide.

Thinking that she had already listened to it, Zheng Yuan's smile was a little more proud, and she didn't know if Gu Mingzhu could be so happy with Shangqin Niang.

Gu Mingzhu didn't have the heart to pay attention to their hidden thoughts, as soon as she returned to Cui's mansion, she followed Mrs. Cui to give some feeds, and she was very busy.

Originally, Gu Mingzhu was not very worried, she had taken care of the middle feed of the General's Mansion, and she had also taken care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, so it was not difficult to really help Mrs. Cui with some problems.

But when he really faced the account books and stewards of the Cui Mansion, Gu Mingzhu was still surprised, he never thought that it would be so complicated, just the copper keys in the warehouses everywhere put a whole large plate, and the account books that came in and out of the house back then were enough to have as many as a box of cages, and the housekeepers everywhere were even more full of flowers.

Mrs. Cui was very indifferent to Gu Mingzhu's surprise, she asked the housekeeper to come forward one by one to talk back, and she introduced Gu Mingzhu on the side: "...... The major clans of Guanlong have their own industries, and the Cui family has granges, mountain forests, silk weaving, salt pans and shops in Hebei Province, Henan Province, Huainan Province, Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road, as well as Jiangnan West Road and Qianzhong Road......"

Gu Mingzhu was speechless while listening, it was really a century-old family, the industry was so huge, there were Cui family's industries in the south to Lingnan Road and Hebei Road in the north, and even Goryeo and Bohai also had Cui family's shops to make a living, no wonder the family could be so wealthy, in addition to silk weaving and mountains and forests were handed over to the side branch to take care of, the most important industries such as Grange and Yantian were still taken care of by Cui's two-bedroom and three-house brothers, and the shops in Hebei Province and nearby Henan Road where Boling was located were taken care of by the Inner Government.

The grandmothers in charge are all ordinary people, and they have long heard of the name of this fifth young lady, and they all cheered up to pick it up

Urgently, I don't dare to say more.

Rao is like this, Gu Mingzhu listened to it for a long time, and only felt exhausted, it was really too much to make a living, and the Cui Mansion was too large, I am afraid that it would take a lot of time to get completely familiar with it.

Mrs. Cui is not in a hurry at this time, but she just wants her to take care of it every day after that, and she will get started slowly.

Gu Mingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Mrs. Cui with a smile, but she thought about it in her heart, and she was afraid that she would quietly "ask for advice" from Cui Lin again, she had just entered Cui's mansion, and many things could only be seen on the surface, and it was not so easy to take care of.

This kind of ease didn't last long, Cui Cheng's face was a little dignified when he came back, and even Cui Lin, who had always been steady and composed, looked a little unsightly, looking like something was wrong.

It's just that Mrs. Cui didn't ask, Cui Cheng and Cui Lin didn't say much, Gu Mingzhu naturally didn't want to ask, she was still a bride in the Cui family, and there were some things that should not be talked about.
