In the early morning of the next day, before Cui Yunzhao could wake up, Huo Tan had already gotten up.

He has always slept outside, and Cui Yunzhao has become accustomed to it in the past two days.

In order not to wake up Cui Yunzhao, he got up very lightly, but Cui Yunzhao still opened his eyes a little sleepily.

The curtain was still dim, but her eyes were like autumn water.

"Lang Jun?"

Cui Yunzhao changed him suspiciously.

Huo Tan felt that his heart softened suddenly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Lady, you continue to sleep, it's still early." ”

Cui Yunzhao had another nightmare at night, and she didn't sleep well at night, so as soon as Huo Tan said this, she closed her eyes again in an instant.

That look was so obedient and cute, Huo Tan couldn't help but look at it for a while, and then stepped lightly on the bed.

Sleep back is comfortable.

When Cui Yunzhao woke up again, he only felt warm and comfortable.

She rolled on the bed for a moment, then leaned on the edge of the bed and lifted the curtain slightly.

She also brought the curtain from her house.

Because it is a newlywed, it is embroidered with a pomegranate entwined branch picture, and the heavy cloud brocade strictly blocks the time outside, making people not distinguish the years.

The curtain was lifted and a corner was sprinkled with countless gilts.

I don't know when, the moon has set outside.

There was no one in the bedroom, only the tea stove on the table was steaming.

Cui Yunzhao was worried about returning to the door today, so he raised his voice and called: "Liqing." ”

A moment later, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Liqing pushed the door in.

"Miss is awake?"

There was a rare smile on Liqing's face.

Cui Yunzhao was a little surprised, but he didn't rush to ask, so he said, "I can afford it, I will go back to the door in a while." ”

Speaking of returning to the door, the smile on Li Qing's face became more and more obvious.

She rarely shows her emotions on weekdays, but today she is in a very good mood, so she is like this.

Cui Yunzhao got out of bed, put on the clothes he was going to wear when he returned to the door today, and then looked at Li Qing: "Why are you so happy?" ”

Li Qing couldn't help but smile.

She glanced back and saw that the door was closed, so she said, "Miss, you don't know how many gifts your uncle has prepared." ”

According to the custom of Boling, after the daughter gets married, the aunt will prepare the return ceremony together.

Ordinary people generally do not stir up the public, but if the in-laws attach importance to their daughters-in-law, they will naturally prepare carefully for the return ceremony.

Generally, there will be four jars of wine, which means a good year of rice, six blessings, meaning six blessings, eight kinds of meat, chicken, duck and fish, meaning abundant food and clothing.

In short, since ordinary people have married their daughters-in-law, they have to grit their teeth and arrange the return ceremony.

But what kind of wine is used for this wine and what kind of cloth is used for cloth is very particular.

Cui Yunzhao was a little surprised.

In her previous life, she was not happy to marry, and she was tossed around by Huo Tan, and she was listless on the day she returned to the door, she was in a bad mood herself, and Liqing and Taofei were also cautious, so naturally they didn't say anything.

Cui Yunzhao didn't know what kind of return gift Huo Tan had prepared in his previous life, but he was a little curious at the moment.

"What did my uncle prepare?"

Li Qing said: "Uncle prepared the aging Baihua drunk of Bailu Building, the best Shu brocade in Linlang Silk Village, and the chicken, duck and fish are all bought Baiwei Zhai's cured meat, all of which are excellent." ”

Cui Yunzhao was shocked.

"Where did he get all that money?"

She has also seen the Huo family's current life, she has not lived in the Huo family in her previous life, Huo Tan has never been a big man, even if he later became a festival envoy and became the imperial governor, he has never been extravagant.

Cui Yunzhao knew very well in his heart that Huo Tan was a very pragmatic person.

But does Huo Tan really have no money?

Cui Yunzhao's question stopped as soon as she said it, and after a while, she thought about it and said, "No, he should have money in his hands." ”

Huo Tan joined the army at the age of fifteen and has been in the army for four years.

In the past four years, Qiyang and Fulu have been at war, and Huo Tan has performed well in every war.

Now that the generals are in power, as long as they have outstanding points on the battlefield, the rewards will never be less.

Cui Yunzhao had never seriously understood the Huo family before, and she hadn't seriously seen Huo Tan's past, so she didn't realize that Huo Tan was not poor.

On the contrary, he may have a lot of reward in his hand.

Cui Yunzhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he thought of this: "It's good." ”

Li Qing frowned and smiled for a while when she saw Miss, and she didn't know if she had said the wrong thing, but when she saw that she finally stretched her eyebrows, she said, "Uncle has prepared gifts for Miss Fifth and Young Master Ting, and even Mother Xia has them." ”

Cui Yunzhao really didn't expect this.

She vaguely remembered that Huo Tan hadn't prepared so many gifts in her previous life.

Maybe because she noticed Huo Chengpu's matter, so that the simple conflict between her brothers was solved at once, Huo Tan carefully prepared a gift in order to thank her.

However, since he has a heart, Cui Yunzhao should be happy.

She nodded, washed her face, and then asked Li Qing to put on her makeup.

"Have you packed up all the wings?"

Li Qing nodded: "Before, the young lady and her aunt said that they would come out of the wing room, and my uncle asked someone to send a set of yarn cabinets, which were installed yesterday." ”

Cui Yunzhao thought about a lot of things yesterday, forgot about this stubble, and said when he heard the words: "I'll take a look later." ”

Li Qing said while combing her hair: "Let's go back when you come back, although the blue yarn cabinet is not the best material, and the workmanship is not so complicated, but it is strong and durable, and it is very breathable. ”

Cui Yunzhao nodded, and only said, "For the time being, I will be wronged, I may not live here for long." ”

That's a strange thing to say.

But Li Qing didn't ask anything, only said gently: "Where can the slave be wronged?" ”

waited for Cui Yunzhao to clean up before leaving the room.

As soon as she stepped out, she smelled a sour smell.

When I looked closely, there was a bowl of spicy soup on the table in the hall, with a few burnt fruits on the side.

Hu spicy soup is a unique food in Boling, and all year round, the people of Boling love to buy and eat.

Especially in the cold winter wax moon, a bowl of warm and spicy soup is really relieved.

The Qiao Po at home definitely doesn't know how to make spicy soup, so it looks like she bought it from outside.

Huo Tan had just come in from outside, wiping her sweat, and when she looked up and saw that she was already awake, she said, "Let's have breakfast, the carriage has been ordered, and I will accompany you back to the door in a while." ”

Cui Yunzhao raised his eyes and looked at him, and said, "Lang Jun has a heart." ”

Huo Tan glanced at Li Qing and knew that she had shaken off today's return gift.

Hearing this, he didn't hide it, and sat directly at the table to watch Cui Yunzhao eat morning food.

Cui Yunzhao is always calm and relaxed when eating, slow and methodical, and not impatient at all.

Huo Tan saw that her expression was calm, and he didn't seem surprised at all, so he couldn't help but smile again.

"The lady is really smart."

She must have guessed that she had a private house in her hands, so she was not surprised.

Cui Yunzhao glanced at him, put Jiao Guo'er into the spicy soup, and slowly ate it.

"Lang Jun is brave, he is a rare young general, Shangfeng will cherish it, and he will not be stingy with rewards."

Huo Tan propped his right hand on the table, supported his chin, and looked at her with a smile.

If you want to go to a hundred-year-old family like the Cui family, it is rare for Huo Tan not to show nervousness.

He is still as calm and calm as ever, and there is still a bit of indescribable leisure.

"Thank you for the compliment."

He paused and said, "If there is something difficult in the family in the future, even if the lady speaks, if she can do it, I Huo Tan will definitely not be ambiguous." ”

Cui Yunzhao raised his eyebrows, swallowed the last mouthful of spicy soup into his stomach, and then carefully wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Putting down the veil, her lips opened lightly: "Since Lang Jun said this, I will remember it." ”

"Lang Jun, don't break your word."

Huo Tan nodded, and slapped the Eight Immortals table with his big hand: "Lady, are you leaving?" ”

Cui Yunzhao straightened his skirt and smiled: "Let's go, I'll take Lang Jun to see Boling Cui's family." ”

The two of them came out of the house, and Cui Yunzhao put on a cloak with fox fur.

The fox's fur is as white as snow, which makes her skin white and her red lips more colorful.

Huo Tan glanced at her and said, "This cloak is good. ”

Cui Yunzhao answered, and got into the carriage with him.

Because he was accompanying her back to the door, Huo Tan did not ride a horse, but accompanied her to the carriage.

It was also very warm in the carriage.

The lavender cage that had been burned long ago was radiating heat in the corner, and there was tea and snacks in the carriage, which was obviously arranged by Huo Tan early in the morning.

Cui Yunzhao looked at the man sitting opposite, lowered his eyes after a moment, and suddenly spoke: "Lang Jun, let me tell you about the Cui family." ”

The Boling Cui clan has produced countless capable ministers who have supported the country for more than 100 years, speaking of fame, the hinterland of the Central Plains, and even within the four seas, everyone knows the Boling Cui clan.

But the various stories in Cui's are rarely known to outsiders.

The housekeepers of the Boling Cui clan are extremely strict, and almost all the slaves in the family are born to the family, and no one dares to say a word about the head of the family outside.

So if you want to know about Cui's affairs, you have to listen to Cui's son himself.

Huo Tan saw Cui Yunzhao slowly fiddling with the fox fur on the cloak, and the slightest nervousness that suddenly rose dissipated.

Cui Yunzhao slowly spoke: "My father died of illness five years ago, and then my mother died because of excessive sadness, and then my second uncle succeeded the head of the family. ”

"Outsiders don't know, Cui's succession does not look at whether he is a descendant, but only whether this person is outstanding in writing and ability."

"Because of your and my marriage, the second uncle's reputation is obviously a little bad, but he is indeed the most knowledgeable and the highest official in this generation."

"So when my father died, he was the successor to the head of the family."

Cui Yunzhao smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

Cui's has always been very particular about the lintel, especially Cui's daughter has married many high-ranking families in more than 100 years, and even has a queen, so Cui's daughter's marriage has always been favored.

"My father is dedicated to studying, so my mother did not get pregnant immediately after getting married, and I am half a year younger than the lobby sister of my second uncle's family."

"Sister Lobby got married a month before me, and she married the Fulu Su clan."

The Cui clan declined, but the Fulu Su clan became famous.

Cui Shi didn't say that he married his daughter every time, but he couldn't send it to a military envoy at will like Cui Yunzhao.

Still a military envoy without any foundation, his father died early.

Cui Yunzhao's eyes were cold: "So when I go back today, in order to save my reputation, the second uncle will definitely do a lot of things." ”

She raised her eyes and looked at Huo Tan with blazing eyes.

"Lang Jun, are you afraid?"
