Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Cui Family Has a Daughter

On the day of August rising, the weather in Chang'an City is still as hot as steamed buns in a steamer.

Large families extravagantly knock down a few pieces of ice from the ice cellar that they had saved last winter, put them in the sour plum soup and drink them all, ice them from the head to the stomach, so as to obtain a short coolness.

The common people are not so lucky, they are still sweating profusely and walking the streets of Chang'an, busy with their own livelihoods.

On the day of the ambush, the wife of Du Zhenglun, the prince of Xiangyang County, chartered Qujiang Garden, invited the noblewomen of Chang'an City to visit the garden to escape the summer, and gathered the noblewomen together by the way, chatted about the recent gossip of Chang'an City, and counted their husbands and children.

The sun is shining and the women are in a meeting.

Cui Shi, the wife of Li Siwen, the second son of the British father-in-law, was also invited to attend the meeting.

Li Cuishi did not go to the meeting empty-handed, but had been prepared for it. She brought dozens of small porcelain vases, which were filled with facial masks made by her son, Li Qinzai.

After getting his son's secret recipe, Li Cui's family went to the Zhuangzi outside the city non-stop, vigorously selected a vacant land, and built two simple handmade black workshops on the ground.

Raw materials are continuously fed into the workshop, and bottles of finished products are manufactured. The mask has no technical content at all, the raw materials are crushed into powder, and the lotus root powder is blended.

Lee was very satisfied, the only thing he was not satisfied with was the name of the mask.

The mask of the mask sounds like an animal in the water, without any poetic elegance.

Li Cui's family was born in a family, so he naturally read poetry and books intensively, and he couldn't count on his son for this kind of thing, so Li Cui's personally changed the name of the mask.

The brush Xiaokai wrote the three words "anti-face cream", and ordered the craftsman to burn the porcelain bottle overnight, and the three words she inscribed were also burned on the porcelain bottle.

The name is very mysterious, if it is in an online novel, this thing will probably appear at the auction of the Xiuzhen world, and it belongs to the pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres level, and those who know know know that the real treasure is behind......

Li Cuishi brought dozens of bottles of anti-beauty cream to the group of females at the gathering of the ladies of Chang'an.

The status of the British Duke is the first in the elite circle of Chang'an, except for the royal family.

So Li Cui's took the C position without concession.

The ladies chatted in groups for a short time, and Li Cuishi instructed his subordinates to put dozens of porcelain vases on the table, which immediately attracted the attention of all the nobles.

"My son Qin Zai created, called 'anti-aging cream', long-term application can keep youth, re-appearance cardamom, I have tried it myself, you take a closer look at my face, is it different from the past?"

The ladies approached and exclaimed.

I have to say that after Li Cuishi applied the mask, it still had some effect, the wrinkles were much lighter than before, and the skin on his face looked quite supple.

The curative effect explained everything, and after the ladies were stunned, the scene suddenly boiled.

Facing the eager and even crazy gazes of the noblewomen, Li Cuishi said proudly: "I only used three days, and the skin on my face was much tighter and smoother. ”

Like a proud peacock, Li Cui's eyes swept away, and said lightly: "You are all noble women, and no matter how much you love your husband, dog men will inevitably go out to look for flowers and ask willows, just because we think that our Fanghua has passed away, and people are old and yellow, if you use the anti-beauty cream created by my son, hum ......"

The ladies had more and more eyes shining brighter and brighter.

All of you are the wives of the powerful and powerful, although the wives occupy the name, but the favor they get from their husbands is often the least, whether at home or outside, there are countless young bewitching sluts eyeing each other, taking away the favor of men at any time.

If there really is a rejuvenation balm that lasts forever in the world, then ......

The ladies are crazy.

"I want it! As many as you want! The wife of the owner of the garden party, Xiangyang County, said excitedly.

The rest of the ladies suddenly came back to their senses and surrounded Li Cui's excitedly.

Li Cuishi said unhurriedly: "My workshop does not make much, today each person will give a bottle, you take it home to try, if you think what I said is true, please also ask you to support more in the future." ”

Dozens of bottles of anti-aging cream were snatched up in an instant.

Early the next morning, the ladies and ladies of all sizes in Chang'an City suddenly took the initiative to visit the British Mansion for some reason.

Some of them came by their own carriages, and some of them came accompanied by their husbands.

After the ladies entered the door of the Li family, they left their husbands alone and went straight into the backyard of the Li family.

It wasn't long before the ladies left with a happy face.

In Chang'an City, a thing called "Rejuvenation Cream" quietly rose in the circle of noble ladies and gradually swept the city, and even Taiji Palace heard the rumors.

On a quiet and hot afternoon, a eunuch from the Inner Servant Province walked into the Taiji Palace with a bottle of anti-facial cream in both hands and delivered it to Empress Wu.

…………

Qingzhou, Qinghe Cui's.

Cui's is one of the seven sects and five surnames.

Qinghe Cui's clan is in Wucheng County, because of the Western Han Dynasty, Wucheng County belongs to Qinghe County, so the world is called "Qinghe Cui", this family has a thousand years of heritage, is the authentic family gate.

The dynasties have changed, the times have passed, and the Qinghe Cui clan has multiplied for thousands of years, so there have been many branches in this thousand years. For example, "Qinghe big house", "Qinghe small house", "Qinghe Qingzhou house" and so on.

Cui Linqian is the head of Cui's Qingzhou house.

Cui Linqian is the descendant of Taishan Taishou Cui Ji during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and after Cui Ji moved to Qingzhou as an official, the lineage of the Cui family in Qingzhou was handed down.

As the current head of the Cui family in Qingzhou, Cui Linqian's official work is not big. He is the governor of Qingzhou Thorn History, and he also has the false title of "Duzhi Shilang".

A person from a family, even if he is a contemporary head of a family, may not be able to become a big official in the court, and there are many reasons for this.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he deeply felt the threat of the family gate lords to the imperial power, and from the beginning of his accession to the throne, he deliberately suppressed and weakened the power of the family, and would not rashly reuse the children of the family.

However, the relationship between the imperial court and the family was complicated, and the two were often playing against each other, which created the delicate balance that exists today.

Li Zhi in the eyes of the family gate valve probably doesn't have a good image, anyway, he just likes the way you can't get used to me and can't kill me.

Cui Linqian is the head of the gate valve family, no matter how small the official is, others dare not despise it, not only do they dare not despise it, but they also climb high.

About four years ago, Cui Linqian and the Li family, the British Duke of Chang'an, made a family affair.

Cui Linqian's youngest daughter Cui Jie is married to Li Qinzai, the fifth young man of the British government.

In the year of marriage, Li Qinzai was sixteen years old and Cui Jie was fourteen years old.

At that time, the two were too young to get married.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were many people of insight in the government and the opposition, and they knew that women should not marry too early.

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old women have not grown their bodies and cannot bear the pain of childbirth, and if early marriage becomes a common practice, it will inevitably have a negative impact on Datang's population policy.

Therefore, whether it is the royal court or the people, there is usually an unwritten rule that a woman usually has to wait until she is twenty-eight years old before marrying.

It doesn't matter to the man, you can force you into the cave room at the age of eight.

Li Cui's two families decided on a relationship, and the elders of the two sides originally agreed to officially marry two years later.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and in the second year of the family affair, Cui Linqian's wife, Cui Jie's mother, died of illness.

In ancient times, when the direct elders died, the children must be filial piety, which is an ironclad rule.

The period of filial piety is usually three years, during which children are not allowed to dance and play at home, not to be close to wine, and not to have happy events.

So Li Qinzai and Cui Jie's marriage was delayed in this way, and the Li family and the Cui family were waiting, waiting for Cui Jie to finish the three-year filial piety period.

Today, Cui Jie's filial piety period has ended.

In other words, the family affairs of the Li family and the Cui family should be put on the agenda.
