Chapter 14 Cui Qian at the Full Moon Banquet

Lian Fu was happy to have a noble son, and the three sisters-in-law of the stalk branch all moved in, and accompanied Lianxiang and Rui'er to buy chemical poison pills, licorice, gouteng hu, and coptis to open for the children, wash the three, send red eggs, and beat the clothes bag, which made trouble for half a month, and then bought full moon wine.

Because he is the eldest son of Lian Zhenyun, this full moon wine is very grand, and the red stickers are sprinkled all over the city's official gentry and salt merchants.

Qi Su Niang stepped back from the women's seat, took a breath, and wanted to find a quiet rest, so she walked towards the water pavilion in the west garden.

"Big brother, the surname Cui actually came, and he also gave a gift of fifty pieces of lake silk and two pairs of gold collars. Is there any illicit salt hidden in our house? Is he so willing to work hard? Li Siqin flipped through the gift list on the table and frowned.

Lian Zhenyun frowned, "He will never come here to celebrate, where is he now?" ”

"The little ones are incompetent, he withdraws from the seat first to change clothes." Lian Dahe's face turned pale, "As a result, he turned around and disappeared, and the big boat was leading people to search." ”

Li Siqin and Lian Zhenyun looked at each other, there was anger in their eyes, and Li Siqin shouted: "What does the surname Cui want to do?" How dare you be so happy in our house, is your kung fu amazing? Is he looking for gold, or is he looking for it" suddenly his face changed, and he jumped up and shouted: "I know what he is looking for, he is looking for Qi San's sister"

Even Dahe was startled, and immediately understood, "The number of Madame's sedan guards has increased to fifty, and it is difficult for even the small ones to approach on weekdays, and Lord Chen is also guarding against him." He couldn't find a slot to see Madame, and he calculated that Madame would definitely come to our house today to drink full moon wine, so he "

Lian Zhenyun slowly rose, "Where is Madam now?" ”

Lian Dahe hurriedly said: "Madame, go to the water pavilion." ”

Li Siqin rushed to the door in a few steps. Pull the door open. Hurried to the back house. "You can't let Cui Di talk to her. Can't let her mess with Cui Di to fight against us......"

Lian Zhenyun hurriedly followed him. Side command. "Go. Tell the big ships to send more men. Turn out the surname Cui Di. He can't be allowed to get near the water pavilion. ”

Even the great river responded. Turned around and was about to go. But even the big ship was sweating profusely. With a happy face, he ran out of the hole in the West Garden. "Big boss. I found the surname Cui Di. He was heading towards the water pavilion. Xiaodi is letting the brothers go to the water pavilion. Let's catch a turtle in an urn."

Li Siqin scolded angrily. The "bastard" pulled his legs and ran into the West Garden.

Qi Su Niang slowly walked on the curved corridor leading to the water pavilion. Green willows sprout by the lake. Peach blossoms with buds. The spring breeze blew her silver gauze dress and peach-colored wide-brimmed skirt. She saw such a spring. I couldn't help but stop on the corridor. Ping stretched out his hand to the golden and white gauze fan of Xiangfei.

Two little foxglove butterflies flew over slowly. Circled around the white gauze fan with a hidden lotus fragrance. One of them stopped at the word "Fangfeng" and shook its wings without fear of people. Slowly and leisurely flew away again.

Qi Su Niang smiled softly, "I'm very tired today, I don't have the strength to flutter butterflies, let you go." He turned and walked towards the water pavilion again. She pushed open the lattice door, saw that it was empty, rejoiced in her heart, walked to the pole and sat down, closed her eyes slightly, and listened to the sound of the water under the railing.

Li Siqin ran close to the water pavilion, and vaguely saw a man pushing the open gate and walking in, he was furious in his heart, rushed into the water pavilion, and was dragged by Lian Zhenyun, "It's too late, if you rush in like this, she will be suspicious, but the result is still the same." ”

Li Siqin said angrily: "Just let him go in like this?" She's alone in there. ”

Lian Zhenyun said: "She was alone in it to let him in, her temperament, would she talk to a man she didn't know alone?" Will quit. If the surname Cui Di doesn't know each other, and he still has to entangle, it is easy for us to surround and beat the prodigal son who molested Mrs. Futai half to death. ”

Li Siqin was stunned for a moment, suddenly laughed, and nodded again and again, "Yes, she will definitely ignore him." At that time, everyone lived in a temple, and I wanted to talk to her every day, but she didn't even look at me. It wasn't until he stabbed my son later that he called me Fourth Brother Li with a smile. The one surnamed Cui dared to entangle, and without us doing anything, she would be half dead. ”

Lian Dachuan laughed, Lian Dahe glared at him with a smile, Lian Zhenyun shook his head with a smile, and pulled Li Siqin to slowly approach the water pavilion.

Qi Su Niang suddenly heard the sound of the lattice door, and the sound of a man's footsteps came, and immediately opened her eyes, and vaguely saw that ten steps in front of her, there was a figure of a man wearing a top strapping official robe, with the light on his back, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he knew that it was not the person around him.

Qi Su Niang raised a fan to hide her face, gave a slight salute, and hurriedly walked past him. Her hand touched the lattice door, and suddenly the man behind her sighed softly, "Su Niang, you have me?" ”

Qi Su Niang was startled and turned her head, and at this time, the man also slowly turned around, and took off the white crystal top official hat on his head with both hands, revealing his face.

Qi Su Niang was stunned for a while, came back to her senses after a while, and said happily: "Little Brother Cui, why are you here." With a face full of joy, he turned around and hurriedly walked towards him, "Just now you have the light on your back, I don't recognize who told you to wear a big hat every time, as if others looked at your face, and you lost a piece of meat." ”

Cui Hao laughed twice, took a few steps to catch up, approached Qi Su Niang, and looked at her carefully, "I haven't seen you for six or seven years, are you eighteen years old this year?" It is said that the eighteen changes of the female university, if not; It's you, I dare to admit it for a while. Sure enough, she grew into a big girl. ”

Qi Su Niang smiled, "Little Brother Cui, I've been married for several years, what kind of big girl?" Pointing to the white crystal top official hat in his hand, "Zheng Liupin?" What kind of official is it? Last time, you said that you were going to be sent outside to do things for your master, and you have been in Yangzhou for the past few years? ”

Cui Hao looked down at the official robe on his body and said, "Mr. Hebiao Qian." After staying in Huai'an for a few years, he was transferred to Yangzhou. After that, he just looked at Qi Su Niang and smiled.

Qi Su Niang only felt that her stomach was full of things to say, but she couldn't say it for a while, she just looked at him and smirked, the two looked at each other for a long time, and Cui Hao finally laughed out loud, "What are you smiling at?" It's all the fate of the four products, and it looks as stupid as the time on the ship. People are guilty of bullying the monarch to death, you are still with you, and you also know that you cherish your life, why didn't I see that Su Niang was still a martyr who wanted to set up a chaste archway? ”

Qi Su Niang was silent, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "Little Brother Cui, I can't give birth to a child." If I had given him a son and a half daughter, I would have run away with the child, but I ......."

Cui Hao was slightly stunned, stared at her for a while, and said softly: "It's okay, you've been married for four years,

If you treat you very well, you will be a concubine and have children in the future, and it will be good to you. ”

Qi Su Niang sighed, "Don't teach you how to get along with the concubine." ”

Cui Hao was stunned and laughed, Qi Su Niang cheered up again, glared at him and said, "Little Brother Cui, did you meet me by chance today, or did you come to me on purpose?" I've been here for almost half a year, and you won't send me a letter. ”

Cui Hao smiled: "I heard that you are here, and I have always wanted to meet you." You live in a simple house on weekdays, and when you go out, you are guarded like an iron bucket by the officials, and the girl under the door is very well-behaved, and you can't hand in half a word. We are not blood relatives in the end, so in order to avoid misunderstanding, we can't directly tell your husband to ask to see Mrs. Futai, I waited for a long time before waiting for this opportunity. ”

Qi Su Niang immediately liked it, and said with a smile: "When I go back tonight, I will explain the original matter to Brother Chen, he will definitely invite you to come over, and I will make a banquet for you to eat." He tilted his head and said, "Brother Cui, I remember that Mr. Hebiao Qian came to hand over the post." You haven't married a lady yet, but marry one earlier, and I will walk around with her often, so that we will be close and we can see each other from time to time. ”

Cui Hao shook his head slowly, "Don't tell your husband about this, and you don't need to invite me over." You should not know that I am in Yangzhou. I've never had a chance to see you......"

Qi Su Niang was stunned and said, "Why? He got up again: "Don't worry, Brother Chen is fine, he won't be suspicious." ”

Cui Hao looked at her, "You just listen to me about this." Remember? ”

Qi Su Niang hesitated, looked at Cui Hao's face, and finally nodded slowly, "Since you say so, I will listen to you." ”

Cui Hao's face was relaxed, he smiled, and turned his head to look at the sky, "I'm going back to the table, I'm afraid of causing trouble after a long time." ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned, "What's the trouble?" ”

Cui Hao smiled, "You don't like to socialize, just stay here, I can't go." As he spoke, he put on his official hat, stretched out his hand to open the flower gate, and turned his head to look at Qi Su Niang in front of the door, "I've always been worried about you, although you learned a lot of rules from me on the Cao boat, you look the same on your face, but you don't necessarily take those rules seriously in your heart." Now there is still a little less taboo in acting and speaking......" paused, sighed, "The matter of childbirth should not be mentioned to men......" slowly walked back, staring at Qi Su Niang, "Be safe and follow the rules, don't be like the two of them......"

Qi Su Niang looked at him, she came to this world, although she followed Cui and Chen Niangzi to learn the rules of humility and women's morality, but she just wanted to survive. Those rules are just to be able to get in and out, to be able to use them for her, but not to be trapped by them, which violates the true nature.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, a little carelessness in front of the elder brother and nobles is a dead word, and the nobles can run rampant and cover up with some false words, but she has to abide by the rules in every move, and dare not show the slightest flaw.

When I returned to the countryside of Gaoyou, although the food in my residence was far less than that of the inner courtyard >of the palace, I could walk in the fields and streams every day, and talk and laugh freely with the village women, but the rough calluses on my hands and feet were difficult to rub away, and the layer of empty crust on my heart faded a lot.

Married Chen Yan and came to Qinghe. The emperor is far away, she works hard, she doesn't want to be a slave, but in order to be a little comfortable under Chen Yan's nose. Entering Yangzhou, for the sake of Chen Yan's decency, he can no longer disguise himself as a girl, and he can't go out at will.

But if she lives and behaves in accordance with the dignity and humility of the people in this world, treats herself as a slave, flatters her master with one mind, or learns the lotus fragrance and they are general, she is afraid of violating women's morality when she opens the curtain, and she can't stay in the inner house for half a step, destroying her true nature in her previous life, but it is impossible.

Qi Su Niang thought of this, even her closest relatives such as Chen Yan and Qi Qiang couldn't speak, and she couldn't explain to Cui Hao, so she couldn't help but lose her mind, and suddenly saw Cui Hao turn around again to leave. She remembered the unspeakable thing, and finally couldn't bear it, grabbed his left sleeve, and said the words that had been buried in her heart for a long time, "Little ...... Brother Cui, you say, is it because of my epilepsy that I can't have children in the future? ”

Cui Hao paused, turned his head to look at Qi Su Niang, saw that she bit her lip, barely held back the tears in her eyes, and looked straight at him with a look of despair and hope on her face, as if she wanted something from his mouth, but she was afraid of something.

Cui Hao slowly stretched out his right hand, touched Qi Su Niang's head, and said softly: "It's okay, the disease has been cured, and there will be children." ”

Qi Su Niang trembled, and finally couldn't hold back her sadness, and cried, "Brother Cui...... If Brother Chen takes a concubine, I don't know what to do......"

Cui Hao stroked Qi Su Niang's head one by one, "It's okay, when that concubine gives birth to a son, you can do what you want to do to her......"

Qi Su Niang looked at Cui Hao and cried, "Why did you teach me like this now......

"Now it's different from the beginning, you and him have experienced life and death, and the feelings are different, even what you do, he will let your ......" sighed slowly: "You are the wife of the main family, you are the inner rule......"

The wind in early spring, especially some coldness, seeped into Cui Hao's sigh and chilled Qi Su Niang's heart, in front of the concubine, the wife is the rule. In front of the woman, the husband is the rule. In front of the minion, the master is the rule. Qi Su Niang stood by the lattice door, watching Cui Hao leave slowly, full of amazement, and couldn't stand for a long time.

On the other side of the water pavilion, Li Siqin stood for a while, then suddenly turned his head to Lian Zhenyun and said, "Lord Chen is going to take a concubine recently?" ”

Lian Zhenyun was silent for a long time, Lian Dahe looked at Lian Zhenyun's face, and whispered: "I haven't heard of this news......

When Li Siqin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That surnamed Cui Di is also a man, and he didn't drag the woman in to make trouble, so I was anxious for a while." After a pause, he wondered: "It looks very close, could it be that they used to be good?" ”

Lian Dahe closed his mouth and didn't make a sound, Lian Zhenyun turned his head and glanced at Li Siqin, "No matter what they were before, he was soft-hearted and refused to pull her into the water, saving us a big trouble." He is just a river standard thousand generals, although the means are ruthless, we have not lost to him over the years. At most, it will be able to keep us from selling smuggled salt. Lord Chen is the prefect of Yangzhou, and he is also in charge of the river, he can interfere in the affairs of the river, there are too many places where he can stumble, if she gets involved, it will be a headache. ”

Li Siqin nodded again and again, "Big brother is right, she has to fight us, can I still go and slaughter her?" I can't do this......"

Lian Zhenyun slowly: "We don't have to worry about the surname Cui, it's just that the fourteenth elder brother has already ......."
