Chapter 113: Slowly open the way
Such a well-behaved and obedient patient Mu Jiaojiao likes it the most.
Seeing that the fifteenth lady was so cooperative with her treatment, she took her hand and gently rubbed it on her arm a few times. After about half a cup of tea, I heard the fifteenth lady let out a long breath and whispered happily: "It's so comfortable!"
The fifteenth lady has been acting in a disciplined manner since she was a child, no matter in front of or behind people, she is cautious and respectful, how could she ever be so presumptuous? Now she shows such an expression and shouts such words, it means that Mu Jiaojiao really makes her feel comfortable, and it is very comfortable, so comfortable that she forgets the rules! When Aunt Zhu saw this, her heart was inexplicably excited.
The fifteenth lady only felt light, and a warm current flowed in her body. Such a pleasant feeling is like lying under the warm spring sun, blowing a soft spring breeze, which makes every pore of her body open up, and the turbidity in her body is swept away, so light that she almost thinks she is going to fly to the sky.
Seeing her like this, Mu Jiaojiao let go of her hand: "Fifteen elder sister, you are knowledgeable, gentle and quiet, this character is very good. It's just that you don't have to think too much about yourself. You are the lady of the Boling Cui clan, looking at the entire Chang'an City, nine out of ten little ladies are not as good as your identity. As a famous lady, you should show the dignified atmosphere of a famous lady. You don't have to pay attention to those messy little things at all, just let the past pass, and you don't have to be sad and angry about it. Otherwise, you are the only one who will suffer. Be open-minded, look at things outside, and talk and laugh with people more, and such problems will definitely not find you in the future. Otherwise, even if you take the medicine I prescribed for you now, you will still have this problem in the future. I can heal your body, but I can't do anything about your heart, I can only rely on yourself. ”
Such heartfelt words made the fifteenth lady have tears in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law's words, my little sister remembers, I will definitely change it in the future, never like this again!" she nodded again and again, and the little appearance of crying or not making people feel more and more pitiful.
Mu Jiaojiao sighed lowly. Seeing that she is so sure, but I'm afraid that it will be another thing to wait for the actual action. It is not that people's personalities will not change, but they will either change subtly and slowly, or they will suffer a great impact before they can change in an instant. Today's shock is obviously not enough for the fifteenth lady.
She thought about it and said, "If the fifteenth sister doesn't dislike it, come and sit here more when you have time in the future! But if you come back later, you can just come alone. It's all a family, everyone is casual, don't be too restrictive. ”
The fifteenth lady's cheeks were slightly red, and she knew that she was a little dissatisfied with the fact that she dragged Aunt Zhu and Aunt Zhao over with her today. "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, I will definitely come to see you often in the future. ”
After a conversation with each other, the fifteenth lady and Aunt Zhu went back to grab the medicine and decoction.
Aunt Zhao was about to leave with them, but she heard Mu Jiaojiao shouting, "Aunt Zhao, please stay." ”
Aunt Zhao immediately turned around, her eyes shining. "What do you tell me to do? Is there anything good for me?"
"There is no good thing, I only have one piece of advice for my aunt to tell - aunt should remember her place in this family, what do you want, just come and tell us, and we will do our best to help you do it. But such a big thing as being outside, we admit it this time, but in the future, we will ask my aunt to stop it in moderation and not to do it again in the future. ”
Aunt Zhao blinked, blinked again, and then seemed to react: "Are you teaching me a lesson?"
"I'm giving your most heartfelt advice to my aunt. It's good for you, it's good for me and Rokuro. Mu Jiaojiao said word by word.
Aunt Zhao pursed her lips and turned to Cui Pu: "Liulang, what do you say?"
She was right. This kind of thing, auntie, you still don't want to do it in the future. Cui Pu also said.
Aunt Zhao was stunned, her eyes suddenly closed, and she immediately burst into tears. "God, I can't live this day! Cui Liu, you heartless and heartless, you forgot your aunt after marrying your daughter-in-law, how could I give birth to such a stinky boy as you? I don't live anymore!
While wiping away her tears and screaming miserably, she turned her head and ran out as if she were flying.
Mu Jiaojiao was stunned for a while, then looked at Cui Pu: "Why don't you hurry up and persuade you?"
"Persuade what? It's her fault. The fifteenth sister is timid and afraid, so she has to be brave by Aunt Zhu's side, I won't say anything about this. But they came to see you, what did she do with it? Fortunately, today is just her own family, and fifteen sisters are not a big problem. But if such a trend is allowed to spread, and whoever is sick will be allowed to be a middle-aged person, then what should we do? You are not a doctor, and our family is not a medicine hall! And I don't know how much ability my aunt has? Once there is a bad one, who is offended, the gains outweigh the losses, and it will not be her and us who will suffer at that time? Therefore, this trend must be stopped, and I must teach her a lesson today, and I must not let her continue to do whatever she wants!" Cui Puyi said solemnly.
"Well, that's your aunt, since you have decided so, I support you. Mu Jiaojiao shook his head.
The corners of Cui Pu's mouth twitched, and he glanced at her coldly. "Don't think I don't know, you're a typical bargain and good seller. In today's incident, you obviously deliberately pulled the fifteenth sister to your side. With her as a bridge, it will be easier for you to build relationships with other brothers and sisters in the family in the future. And when this goal is achieved, you will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and teach your aunt a lesson!"
"You're right. But don't I have to do this as a last resort?" Mu Jiaojiao sighed, "I've been in the door for these days, but I haven't received a single post, up and down the house, except for the three brothers and three sisters-in-law who took the initiative to come to the door for the pastry that day, everyone else even ignored me and treated me as if I didn't exist." Since they didn't give me this opportunity to go abroad, I had to create opportunities for myself. ”
When Cui Pu heard this, his heart shrank slightly.
In fact, he also sees the coldness in their yard these days. Think about the past, after the sister-in-law of the family newly entered the door, who was not there a guest and received a soft hand? But when they came, Mu Jiaojiao was left out in the cold. They all said that Mrs. Cui was partial to Mu Jiaojiao, but if she was really partial, then she should have taken Mu Jiaojiao out to socialize and have a relationship with the dignitaries in the circle. But Mrs. Choi didn't. She just watched coldly from the sidelines, and only intervened to mediate when her daughter-in-law was in trouble.
Therefore, the attitude of the aunt and uncle has been laid out very obviously - it is your ability to marry into the Cui family. But whether you can gain a firm foothold in the Cui family and integrate into this circle depends on your own ability. We're not going to help you!
And although Cheng Jiuniang and the others have the heart to help, it is not convenient to make a move now. After all, Mu Jiaojiao has just gotten married, if she had relied on external forces from the beginning, then she would clearly tell others that she has no ability, and she can only rely on others, and the people in the circle will definitely laugh at her and look down on her. It's even harder for her to fit in.
For today's plan, Mu Jiaojiao really has no other way than to do it herself.
At the same time, he also felt that his life was useless. Although he didn't approve of this wife in his heart, since the two were married, they were one. If his wife is ignored, isn't he ignoring him?
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes. "I'm tired, let's go to a rest. ”
"Do you need me to serve you?" asked Mu Jiaojiao.
"No!" Cui Pu immediately shook his head and hurriedly walked into the room.
The next day, a post came over from the Wei Wangfu, and it was the princess of the Wei Dynasty who asked Mu Jiaojiao to come over to enjoy the lotus.
Mu Jiaojiao smiled when she received the post.
"Thank you, Lang Jun. She saluted Cui Puyingying.
Cui Pu twisted his head: "Someone invited you, it was for the sake of your reputation, what does it have to do with me?" But you better prepare first, since they are willing to invite you, it must be for the sake of your cure, when you go there, you will have to take the pulse and prescribe medicine again." ”
"The concubines that Lang Jun said understand everything. However, you have always been good friends with Lang Jun, and when the princess of Wei Wang and Concubine Wei are rewarded, she can still think of concubines, which must also be for the sake of Lang Jun's face, so you deserve to thank Lang Jun for this concubine. Mu Jiaojiao smiled and saluted him again.
Cui Pu was uncomfortable by her sour words.
"Can you speak well? Such a shrill voice is not for you!"
"Okay!" Mu Jiaojiao originally wanted him to experience the feeling of a manly man, but since he was not used to it, she reverted to her old demeanor and asked, "On that day, will you go with me?"
"Of course I'm with you. The princess of the prince of Wei gave you a post, and the prince of the prince of Wei also invited me. Cui Pu bowed his head.
"That's good, with you by my side, I'm not afraid!" Mu Jiaojiao smiled.
When have you ever been scared? Cui Pu wanted to ask. But looking at Mu Jiaojiao's bright smile on his face, his heart softened again, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"I have something to do, I'm going to find the third elder brother, you can prepare yourself at home first!" Dropping this sentence, he quickly turned around and left.
Hongdou only stepped forward at this time, and the smile on his face was even brighter than Mu Jiaojiao's. "Lady, that's good! When we get to the Wei Palace, as long as you behave well and make more friends with some nobles, we will not worry about going wider and wider in the future!"
"I think I'd better keep a low profile that day. Mu Jiaojiao said, a touch of deep thought condensed between her eyebrows.
