Chapter 109: The Toad Climbs the High Branch
Cui Jie is only eighteen years old this year, and she is still a girl.
The girl's feelings are always poetry, and the girl's mind and soul always jump back and forth between reality and dreams.
Most of them will not have any feelings for their family and country, but they will definitely look forward to their lifelong happiness.
There is only sunshine and beauty in their vision, as if there is no trace of gloom and darkness for the rest of their lives.
The purpose of staying in Ganjingzhuang may be to observe her future husband, but it is also to fulfill her poetic girlish feelings.
Her future husband is not necessarily a hero of the world, and he does not have to ride the seven-colored clouds to marry her, but he is at least kind and will never abandon her.
Cui Sheng knows his sister too well, he knows that his sister's personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, her arrogance, her upbringing, and her knowledge are actually for outsiders to see.
The real Cui Jie still looks like a child in front of him. She would cry when she was wronged, grin regardless of her manners when she was happy, and when her brother and sister quarreled, she would sit alone and sulk until he coaxed her, and immediately laughed.
The sister in Cui Sheng's eyes is completely different from Cui Jie in the eyes of outsiders.
In front of him, Cui Jie behaved like a normal woman, with flesh and blood, laughter and tears.
In the eyes of outsiders, Cui Jie is the daughter of the head of the Cui family in Qingzhou, who is knowledgeable and reasonable, dignified and thoughtful in receiving people and things, and she is a benchmark model for all ladies.
Running away from marriage and leaving home may be the only rebellious and outrageous thing she has ever done in her life.
Looking at Cui Jie's determined expression, Cui Sheng knew that no matter how much persuasion he tried, it would be useless.
What she decided, the nine cows couldn't pull back, just as resolutely as leaving the Cui family without saying a word this time.
Cui Sheng dotes on this sister very much, the kind that spoils him to the bones.
He couldn't bear to refuse his sister's decision, and from his heart, he didn't want her to go back to the Cui family in Qingzhou, going back would mean compromising with his family, it meant that he had to marry the Li family, and it meant being planted headlong into the fire pit.
"Now that you've decided, I'm not going to say more." Cui Sheng sighed dejectedly.
Cui Jie begged: "Brother Mo and my father leaked my whereabouts, okay?" ”
Cui Sheng smiled bitterly: "I have never seen you today, and I will never know your whereabouts, unless you voluntarily reveal your whereabouts." ”
Cui Jie smiled: "Thank you, brother, it's me who is willful." After this incident, I will make amends to my brother again. ”
"Why do you and I say these unseemly words...... Cui Sheng paused, and said curiously: "But I'm very strange, you ran away from marriage, why did you escape to the Li family's Zhuangzi?" What is the significance of this move? ”
Cui Jie showed a helpless wry smile.
"Why does everyone in the know ask this question......" Cui Jie sighed dejectedly.
When she escaped from marriage, she was panicked like a lost dog, where was there any deep meaning, as for why she fled to the Li family Zhuangzi, two words can be explained, "point back".
Cui Jie reluctantly recounted all kinds of experiences after leaving home, and talked about her acquaintance with Li Qinzai, inherited his kindness several times, and so on.
Cui Sheng's face changed several times when he heard this, and finally he took a deep breath and said: "I really don't know whether to say that your life is good or that you are dead, it is a miracle that a young lady from a family ran away from home and can live peacefully to this day after losing all her money......
Cui Jieqiao's face flushed, and she said in a low voice: "I know that I am wrong, now I am dependent on Congshuang for my life, and my life can go on, the important thing is to be relaxed, there is a relief to escape from the cage, and it is worth suffering no matter how much I suffer." ”
Cui Sheng rubbed her hair distressedly, and then there was anger in his eyes.
The bastard of the Li family, who had already known his sister's true identity, lied to him just now that he was born and raised in Zhuangzi, and what was becoming more and more smart.
This bastard openly teased his sister in front of him, and he said nonsense seriously, he should kill a thousand knives!
"That's it, if Jie'er wants to stay, just stay, the British Zhuangzi people are simple, the world is clear and peaceful, and you won't be in danger if you stay here." Cui Sheng said helplessly.
Cui Jie said in a low voice: "Brother Xie is complete." ”
Cui Sheng sighed: "You, you have a weak appearance, but your temperament is very strong, I can't persuade you, so I have to let you go." ”
Reaching into his arms, Cui Sheng took out all the silver coins on his body and held them in Cui Jie's palm.
"With my brother here, you won't have to work so hard in the future, hurry up and buy some new clothes, buy some meat, and I'll bring some silver money back to Chang'an, how can the people from the Cui family be so embarrassed?"
Cui Jie was about to resign, but Cui Sheng said solemnly: "Are you polite to your brother?" ”
Cui Jie accepted the money at this time, and her expression seemed to be much more relaxed.
These days are dependent on the frost, and the life is hard, and with a brother in the future, I think I will not suffer anymore.
Miss Shijia is pampered, compared to the difficult days of doing embroidery day and night to earn a living, if you have money, you don't have to work so hard, who doesn't want to live an easy life?
"That kid from the Li family, don't be too close to him, my brother has seen him twice, not like a good person." Cui Sheng snorted.
Cui Jie smiled: "Whether he is good or bad, I can only count if I see it with my own eyes." ”
…………
Li Qinzai got up early in the morning, yawning with a sleepy face.
The maid brought a bowl of hot goat's milk and held it to Buckwheat, Li Qinzai stared at Buckwheat and drank it one sip before retracting his gaze.
Goat's milk can not be broken, must be drunk every day, buckwheat at this age is the time to lay the foundation for the body, if you grow up malnourished, it is incompetent to be a father.
When he came to the front yard, Li Qinzai looked up to observe the position of the sun, and was about to ask his subordinates to bring the reclining chair and take a nap while basking in the sun.
This is Steward Song walking over, with a smile on his face, holding a white embroidered picture in his hand.
"Wu Shaolang, the two girls came here last night and stuffed this thing to the concierge, saying that it was for Wu Shaolang, and thanked Wu Shaolang for saving his life."
Last night, the two girls were naturally Cui Jie and Congshuang, who originally came to give gifts, but who knew that they happened to see Cui Sheng in the front yard last night, so Cui Jie and Congshuang turned their heads and ran away, and the gifts could only be handed over.
The two women have always despised Li Qinzai, but they didn't expect to know the number of etiquette, and they actually took the initiative to give gifts, obviously the mushrooms picked yesterday were really unreliable, and they picked up a life.
Li Qinzai took the embroidery picture, and then frowned: "What's that?" ”
The pattern is beautifully embroidered and can be said to be lifelike.
A toad on it, holding a branch, looked up at the sky with an obscene expression, and when he looked closely, the toad was still three-legged......
Li Qinzai opened his brain, thought for a while, and then became angry.
"The sarcasm is that I am a toad, and marrying her is that I have climbed a high branch? It's okay to be a toad, isn't three legs too much? Li Qinzai gritted his teeth and said: "Cui Jie, you deceive people too much!" Steward Song, send someone to burn down the house she lives in for me! ”
Steward Song didn't move, his lips twitched a few times, and finally he couldn't help but say: "Fifth Shaolang, the meaning of this embroidered picture is 'Golden Toad Zhegui', which means very auspicious, symbolizing fame and fame, and a prominent career." ”
Li Qinzai was stunned: "Didn't you mean to scold me for being a toad?" ”
Steward Song smiled bitterly: "It's really not." ”
