21 Chapter 21
Cui Yunzhao's mood suddenly brightened.
She looked back at Huo Tan, no matter what the truth of her death in her previous life was, but at this moment, Cui Yunzhao knew that Huo Tan was sincere to her for the time being.
After saying those few words, the group had already arrived in front of the Mercy Star Pavilion.
Cui Yunzhao asked Zhai's mother to get busy, and he led Huo Tan into the Mercy Star Pavilion.
Compared with the previous Canyang Pavilion, the location of the Mercy Star Pavilion is not good, although it is close to the pond, but there must be a lot of mosquitoes in the summer.
Moreover, there is a large rockery in front of the Mercy Star Pavilion, which just blocks the sunlight on the first floor, and even on a sunny day, the hall on the first floor looks a little gloomy.
As soon as Cui Yunzhao pushed the door open, he raised his eyes and saw Mother Xia standing at the door of the hall, looking over eagerly.
Xia's mother is her nurse and grew up with her since she was a child.
Speaking of which, Xia's mother is not Cui's son.
Twenty years ago, there were four high gates in Fulu and other places, among which the Boling Cui clan was good at Kuang Fu Guozuo and was a clear stream.
Fulu Su is good at general theory of naturalism, and there are more water conservancy talents in the Ministry of Industry in the court, and they have been reused by the emperor for several generations.
The Tonglu Yin family is a family heirloom with poetry and book etiquette, because the family is good at writing rituals, so it is the most abundant family among the four, and a ritual is worth a thousand gold.
Most of the people in the Yin clan are good at business, and although they are not as prominent as the other three in terms of reputation, they are the richest one.
Cui Yunzhao's mother was born in the Tonglu Yin family.
She was the pearl of the Yin family's head at that time, the eldest daughter of the family, and married the young head of the Cui family, and the dowry at that time can be imagined.
And Xia's mother is Yin's daughter's dowry.
After Xia's mother accompanied Cui Yunzhao's mother to marry the Su family, she married the steward who married her together within a year, and later Cui Yunzhao's mother gave birth to a child.
It's a pity that Xia's mother died when she gave birth to her son when she was three months old.
Later, when Yin gave birth, she saw that she missed her son, so she asked her to be her daughter's nursing mother.
This is eighteen years.
Later, Xia's mother's husband also died young, and she was even more devoted to Cui Yunzhao, treating her as if she were her own.
Cui Yunzhao is not good at housework, so she is dedicated to planning for Cui Yunzhao and taking care of the shop under her name day by day.
Xia's mother is the son of the Yin family, and she knows how to take care of housework since she was a child, so how could she close down the shop?
After many years, Cui Yunzhao saw Mother Xia again, who was like his biological mother, and his eyes were red.
Xia's mother passed away two years after she got married, and Cui Yunzhao hadn't seen her for many years.
She really misses her.
Seeing only her eager eyes, Cui Yunzhao couldn't hold back any longer, ran over and threw himself into Mother Xia's arms.
"Mom, I miss you so much."
Cui Yunzhao's voice was stained with tears.
Speaking of which, at this time in this life, she has not seen Mother Xia for three days.
On the day of the wedding, Xia's mother personally groomed her and sent her to the sedan chair step by step.
But for the current Cui Yunzhao, it is already the resurrection of the old man from the dead, and he will see you again after many years.
She couldn't help but cry, she was already very restrained herself.
Mother Xia is already in tears.
She patted Miss's thin back, tears sliding down her cheeks: "Miss, Mom is here, it's okay, Mom is here." ”
When Cui Yunzhao heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore and cried.
She misses her so much.
Huo Tan was going to see Mother Xia with him, but he saw an old man and a young man hugging his head and crying, and his feet paused suddenly.
Does he go in or doesn't go in?
And Cui Yunzhao is still very calm, why did he cry like this when he saw Xia's mother? Is she really wronged?
Huo Tan lowered his eyes, but he didn't continue to look.
Cui Yunzhao was a little excited now, but she also knew very well that today was not a day to cry bitterly, so she tried to get herself out of Mother Xia's warm embrace and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
After she finished wiping her own, she went to wipe Xia's mother face again, not to mention how obedient she looked.
"Mom, don't cry, today is a happy day."
Cui Yunzhao said this, and suddenly turned his head.
Huo Tan was leaning against the door, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, looking a little careless.
Cui Yunzhao knew very well that he didn't seem to be a thoughtful person, but when it came to mental skills, maybe even Lu Fang's envoy couldn't compare to him.
She behaved like this, I don't know if Huo Tan would think that she was dissatisfied with this marriage and went back to her parents' house to find relatives and cry bitterly.
But...... At this point, she didn't have time to explain.
Because she suddenly saw her younger siblings who were still young.
At that time, Cui Yunlan was thirteen years old, still a shy and gentle little girl, while Cui Yunting was twelve years old, her eyes were clear and clean, and she couldn't see the future quick success, which looked a little cute.
The two children, who were tall and short, were standing inside the door at the moment, staring at her.
Especially the sentimental Cui Yunlan, who also had red eyes at the moment.
When Cui Yunzhao saw them, he immediately came to his senses and said politely to Huo Tan: "Lang Jun, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Huo Tan raised his eyes at this time, and when he saw that she no longer had the pitiful appearance of crying like Fang Cai, he smiled with relief.
"Let's go inside."
After the family was seated in the house, Cui Yunzhao asked his younger siblings to come forward and see Huo Tan.
got married a few days ago, Huo Tan came to greet his relatives, and he also met his brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
But it was too lively at the time, and they couldn't say a word to each other.
If you see it today, you should pay a good respect.
Although Cui Yunting is the sister-in-law of the Cui family, he has been taught by the Cui clan since he was a child, but he does not have the habit of being a scholar, but is a little lively and alert.
He looked at the tall and tall Huo Tan, couldn't help but take a step forward, and bowed to him: "I've seen my brother-in-law, my name is Cui Yunting, I have three lines in the family, and my brother-in-law can call me Tinglang or Sanlang." ”
Huo Tan nodded, stretched out his hand to Uncle Ping, who had already followed, and Uncle Ping handed over a box.
Huo Tan handed the box to Cui Yunting: "I don't know what you like, I also like to read when I want to come, so I found a few unique books for you, take them and read them." ”
When I got up early and heard Liqing say that he had prepared gifts for his younger siblings, Cui Yunzhao thought it was the food that the children liked, but he didn't expect to have this thought.
Cui Yunting was obviously also surprised.
He immediately took the box, and his voice was louder than before: "Thank you, brother-in-law." ”
Huo Tan nodded, and saw the girl behind Cui Yunting take a step forward, looking at him a little shyly.
"I've seen my brother-in-law, I'm Cui Yunlan, and I'm the fifth in the family."
Huo Tan waved his hand, and Uncle Ping sent another box.
"I prepared a set of grinding and drinking music for you, I don't know what character you like, so I bought one."
Cui Yunlan's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to take it yet, so she went to see Sister A first.
Cui Yunzhao thought of her tragic death in her previous life, and felt very sad, but at this moment, seeing that she was still vaguely young, she felt some feelings.
Because of the early death of her parents, Cui Yunzhao's eldest sister is like a mother, and she strives to teach a pair of younger siblings, at that time she was also a half-grown child, and she didn't know how to do it right, how to do it wrong, she could only warn her younger siblings that more things are better than less things, and many times endure it and pass.
Looking back now, she may not have been wrong about the things in her previous life.
Cui Yunzhao sighed in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he was much gentler to Cui Yunlan than Cui Yunting.
"You take it and play with it."
After the family had seen it, Cui Yunzhao took Xia's mother's hand and said to Huo Tan: "Lang Jun, I also said before that I want Xia's mother to live at home, how about it?" ”
Huo Tan had naturally promised once when he was at home, and now Cui Yunzhao asked again in front of him, obviously to reassure Mother Xia.
Sure enough, when Mother Xia saw Huo Tan nodding, she immediately became happy.
"I don't have many things, I can clean them up in a while, I won't delay going back home today, I'll go back with Miss today."
Cui Yunzhao said with a smile: "Mom, go and clean it up now, it doesn't matter if you don't have anything, it's all in Boling City after all, and you can pick it up when you come back." ”
Cui Yunzhao said, and also said a joke: "Although I am married, it is impossible for my family not to let me in." ”
Mother Xia was overjoyed now, so she didn't notice the deep meaning of her words, but Cui Yunlan looked at her and blinked.
Speaking of which, Cui Yunlan and Huo Xinliu's personalities are somewhat similar, but there are many differences.
Cui Yunlan was raised by her mother and her, and she is gentle and polite on weekdays, and she is a typical noble daughter of a family.
It's just that because of her mother's early death, her life is not so comfortable, so she is a little timid, and she has no idea when she encounters things, and she only knows how to endure.
But Huo Xinliu burned his brain because of the cold when he was a child, and he seemed a little sluggish, and he always couldn't tell what others meant.
It is precisely because of his sluggishness that when the accident occurred that year, Huo Xinliu was completely lost.
Thinking of those past events, Cui Yunzhao's heart became dull again.
But soon, she regained her strengths and said directly to Cui Yunting: "I heard that you were punished for three months and couldn't go to the clan school to study?" ”
Cui Yunting's face froze, Cui Yunlan had the intention to protect his younger brother, so he hurriedly spoke: "Sister, Ah Ting, he didn't mean it, that day was really just an accident." ”
Cui Yunzhao shook his head at her.
She continued to look at Cui Yunting: "What do you say?" ”
Cui Yunting lowered his head, and his face burned red in front of his brother-in-law.
He twisted the hem of his clothes, and finally said: "They deliberately bullied me, so that I can't take the township exam well next year." ”
This kid knows it all in his heart.
Cui Yunzhao was relieved.
