Chapter 336: Being a concubine is also a high climb
This is a house that you enter, the small courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, a jujube tree is planted, and a large water tank is placed under the tree.
The main house is a five-frame three-room structure, with a stove and firewood room on the left side, and two side rooms on the right.
Lu Er was fast, went up the steps first, opened the curtain in front of the main house, and said inside: "Madam, little lady, the eldest lady is back with the cousin of the Wen family!" ”
A very sharp voice came from inside: "Why don't you hurry up and invite someone in?" ”
Luo Qianhuai stepped into the house first, and saw two people sitting in front of the first case: one was a woman about thirty years old, with a flat head and a straight face, a very ordinary appearance, and a piece of Nai Guo was crossed, and it was sent to the mouth of a seven or eight-year-old girl next to her.
The girl's appearance followed her mother, her small eyes blinked, and she stared at Luo Qianhuai who came from the backlight for a moment, and she forgot to chew for a while, and it took a while to come back to her senses.
She spit out the piece of nai guo and asked the woman, "Mother, is this my sister?" Look like a fairy! ”
"yes." Cai Wei pulled her up and walked in front of Luo Qianhuai, and a hint of surprise also flashed in her eyes.
"Good boy." She grabbed Luo Qianhuai's hand, and her eyes seemed to inadvertently turn on the mink cloak, Yunjin deep coat and the gold and jade bracelet on her wrist, and her heart was full of suspicions, but she was forcibly pressed down, and said with a smile:
"I told my husband several times before that I wanted to take care of your three brothers and sisters together, but he always had a lot of worries, and it has been delayed until now. It wasn't until we met today that I had no regrets! ”
"I really can't imagine that the eldest lady was born so neatly, that is, she is no worse than the ladies in the palace, and she deserves to be kept in a small house - no, a good marriage will be sent to the door?"
She spoke fiery by herself, but Luo Qianhuai didn't want to listen to it. With a little effort, she withdrew her hand:
"This is my Aon's house? Haven't asked what to call your lady? She asked knowingly.
Cai Wei's smile froze: "This should have been said by you, Ah Weng, but he can only return home when he gets it." I've always been a straightforward person, and I don't have to beat around the bush. I married you five years ago, and Qinqin is the child of me and my late husband. You just have to follow Qinqin and call me Grandma. ”
"I don't have the habit of casually recognizing my mother." Luo Qianhuai heard that Qinqin was not her own sister, and her heart was a little relieved, and she said lightly: "I came in a hurry before, and I have to ask many things in detail, why don't I tell my wife about it, where is my Ah Weng worth?" ”
This kind of thing can't be hidden. Cai Wei asked Luo Qianhuai and Wen Jia to sit down and drink tea, and briefly talked about Jing Yuan's crime and punishment in the court.
She cared about Luo Qianhuai's identity as an unmarried daughter, and did not specifically explain what kind of punishment it was, but how could Luo Qianhuai not understand.
The resentment against the cheap dad before I came has disappeared a little bit so far. Cai Wei was born in the palace, and she was very good at observing words and feelings, and seeing that her heart was much calmer, she began to knock on her clothes and head.
She also served the favored concubines in the palace back then, and saw a lot of good things, so she was naturally a knowledgeable person, and she could see at a glance that the eldest daughter born to her husband's ex-wife added up to no less than 100 gold, but it was not something that an uncle who opened a pharmacy could afford.
"Your Ah Weng sent someone to Shouquanli, only to know that you went to a foreign house." Cai Wei said: "It was at that time that he knew that you had suffered a lot before, and he was very unhappy about it, so don't mention those things when I see you at night, so as not to make you angry." ”
Luo Qianhuai had her own plans in her heart, and she didn't want to bother to talk to her more, but she was silent, but she was mistaken by Cai Wei for obedience and acquiescence, and her heart became a lot easier.
"I heard that the pharmacy handed down by my cousin's family has a very high reputation in Changlingyi?" She turned to Wenjia and asked.
"I don't know much about that." Wen Jia is even more unkind to Cai Wei, who has taken on the identity of her aunt.
He wouldn't say more, but Cai Wei seemed to understand something.
"Although Changlingyi is not as good as Xijing, there are not a few high-ranking officials and nobles. Ling Zun was able to make the pharmacy so far, which is obviously a medical skill. ”
She didn't seem to know anything about what happened to Wen Pu in the previous five years, which also showed from the side that the cheap father didn't care much about this Yue family.
Wen Jia and Luo Qianhuai glanced at each other, and they both felt cold in their hearts.
When Jing Yuan came back in the evening, Wen Jia had already left. He summoned Luo Qianhuai into the study, and the father and daughter had a separate conversation with each other.
Luo Qianhuai had a lot of things he wanted to ask before he came, but now he felt that there was no need to ask.
However, Jing Yuan asked a lot about the three of their sisters and brothers, and after learning that Luo Xiao and Luo Zhao had each worshiped famous teachers and practiced literature and martial arts respectively, they became in a very good mood, and even Qua Luo Qianhuai had the style of an eldest sister.
"Fathers have long known that children and grandchildren have their own blessings." He said with relief, and by the way, he found a reasonable excuse for ignoring himself for many years.
"Men are ambitious in all directions, and what is always the most worried about a father is actually you." He sighed and said:
"Your aunt should have told you, right, and found you a good family? I really have to thank her for that."
Luo Qianhuai interrupted him coldly: "Ah Weng, there is only one mother."
Jing Yuan was a little unhappy, but when he saw his daughter's inky black apricot eyes that were very similar to his deceased wife, his heart softened inexplicably.
"It's not a real husband and wife, if you don't want to, then call her Mrs. Wei."
Luo Qianhuai naturally should, and then listened to his own Ah Weng talk about that great marriage.
The man's head is really tall, and he is the ninth son of Cui Xiaoben, who holds Jinwu, and is known as Cui Jiulang.
Luo Qianhuai remembered Cui Xiaoben, who shouted loudly in front of the Chengming Hall that day, and now he still feels thrilling when he thinks about it, and someone will lead the red line to his house wherever he thinks.
She listened to Jing Yuan boasting about Cui Jiulang's various benefits, from being gentle and elegant like a crown jade, to being well-read and humble, it took more than a quarter of an hour, and not a word was the same.
"Awn." Luo Qianhuai finally couldn't help but interrupt him: "Don't you know that Qi Da is not a coincidence?" How can you, the court leader, have 400 stone squirrels, but the ruling Jinwu is more than Jiuqing, and you are a 2,000 stone official, how can you be willing to marry our family? ”
Jing Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, it turned out that Cai Wei did not tell her daughter the inside story of this family affair, but it was not too late to say it again.
"If we get married, we will definitely not be able to climb high. But your aunt specially found someone to go and talk about Xiang, Mrs. Cui has agreed to see each other tomorrow, as long as Jiulangjun nods herself, she will admit you to the door. ”
What? Do you have to wait for others to see each other before you can get the opportunity to be a concubine? Luo Qianhuai only felt that his brain was buzzing, and he really wanted to go back and invite the senior brother of the divine surgeon to come over, and directly drill open the dura mater of the cheap father, and see what kind of bezoar dog treasure was in the bread.
Jing Yuan only thought that his daughter was worried about the failure of each other, and deliberately comforted him gently:
"Yin Yin, don't worry, with your appearance, Cui Jiulang will definitely fall in love at first sight, and when the time comes, when he enters the door of the Cui family, he will have the support for the rest of his life!"
