Chapter 338: Princess Shou asks for a son
It took Mu Jiaojiao less than half a month to rush back to Chang'an.
Back at Cui's house, she handed over her son to the Zheng family, only sat down and took a breath, then stepped forward to check Mrs. Cui's pulse.
Now Mrs. Cui is very weak. But today, it seems that because she learned that Mu Jiaojiao returned with her son, her spirit improved a lot, and she also said a few words to Mrs. Cui.
Mu Jiaojiao carefully listened to her pulse, then shook her head and said: "The old lady is too late to come, and I have no power to return to the sky, so let's hurry up and prepare for the future!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Cui family, who originally had a glimmer of hope, burst into tears.
But when Mrs. Cui heard this, her expression was as usual, and she only ordered someone to help her up, although she said softly, but still slowly: "I have lived to be seventy years old, and it is not easy for me." Even now, it is also joy and mourning, and you do not need to be sad. Now, you all step down and let me talk to Rokuro's daughter-in-law. ”
Everyone stepped back as they were told.
Mrs. Cui asked Mu Jiaojiao again: "What about your eldest man, have you brought it back?"
"Bring it back!" Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly asked Mung Bean to bring his son over.
Now Da Langjun is half a year old. He was originally quiet, and he was carried to Mrs. Cui, if an ordinary little doll saw such a haggard old man, he was afraid that he would cry in fright. He just blinked, still without any expression on his little face, and continued to sit quietly beside the old lady and play with his fingers. The old lady touched him, and he looked up and smiled at her.
Seeing this, Mrs. Cui nodded and said, "This kid is calm and calm at a young age, and has the demeanor of his grandfather. You have been born and nurtured him, and his achievements will not be inferior to that of his grandfather. ”
Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly nodded yes.
Old Mrs. Cui suddenly held her hand again, and a bright light flashed in her dim eyes: "Daughter-in-law Liulang, I see that I am about to enter the earth." Before I die, can you clear up the doubts in my heart? What kind of famous family did your mother's family come from?"
Mu Jiaojiao spread out her palm and gestured the word 'thanks' on it.
Mrs. Cui's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Sure enough! The first time I saw you, I knew that you must have the blood of the family in your bones, and that family must not be low! Now that I know the truth, as I expected, I can turn a blind eye! In the future, you must get along with Rokuro, and persuade him when necessary. His temper is something that only you can control. I'll give him to you, I'm relieved. ”
Mu Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly.
After saying so many words in one breath, the old lady was also tired. She closed her eyes and recuperated for a while, then opened her eyes again and said, "Okay, you must be tired when you come back from afar, go down and rest! Now, let Erlang and them come to see me." ”
Now the Erlang in her mouth is Cui Ge Lao.
Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly hugged her son and retreated.
On the night of the arrival, there were bursts of wails throughout Cui's mansion - Mrs. Cui was gone.
After Cui Pu learned the news, he also hurried back from Yangzhou with his daughter, and the father and daughter knelt down in front of Mrs. Cui's spirit.
Mrs. Cui passed away this time, according to the system, Cui Ge Lao had to serve three years of decay and filial piety, Cui Yu was a load-bearing grandson, and he had to serve one year of Qi decay and filial piety, and Cui Pu, as a concubine, only needed to serve five months of Qi decay and filial piety.
The father and son all wrote to the saint and asked for Ding Wei.
But the excerpt was sent, but it was left in the middle and there was no reply. Quietly asked someone to inquire, only to find out that the saint was now lacking in skills. It turned out that Concubine Wu Hui was also sick.
Although she successfully eliminated the prince's party and cut down the roots of that group, her subsequent life was not satisfactory.
First of all, when they tried their best to convince the sage to make King Lishou the crown prince, the matter was ignored by the sage. They did not dare to say more, lest the saints should detect their thoughts. Concubine Wu Hui was so anxious that she fell ill in a hurry.
Secondly, not long after the death of the crown prince and others, every time Concubine Wu Hui closed her eyes, she could see the ghosts of the prince and others floating in front of her eyes, crying about her grievances, which always woke her up from her sleep and scared her into a cold sweat.
Since then, she has been ill.
Asking the wizard to do it at night didn't work, and her illness got worse and worse. Later, as long as she was in a slightly darker place and heard a little wind and grass, she felt that the prince and others had come to her for revenge, and she shouted and made a fuss.
and then reburial for them, and even the execution of people to accompany them...... All kinds of methods have been exhausted, but they are still useless.
Her illness is worse every day.
The saint was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, and where was he in the mood to take care of other things? Therefore, he didn't read the excerpts sent by Cui Ge and his party.
However, Cui Pu is a county magistrate, and Li Linfu still has this small appointment and dismissal power. So not long after Mrs. Cui was buried, Cui Pu received a reply from the imperial court agreeing to his worries.
Getting the news, Cui Pu just smiled lightly: "Now that I have been eliminated, it can be regarded as clearing the obstacles for Wu Lixin to get on the road." In the past three years, he can be regarded as the prefect of Yangzhou!"
"Not necessarily. Mu Jiaojiao shook her head indifferently.
Cui Pu was in a low mood, and when she heard the words, she only thought she was comforting him again, so she lazily did not reply.
In fact, although Mrs. Cui passed away, this is a joy and mourning after all, so after everyone's sadness, the mood gradually calmed down. In addition to Cui Ge Lao and Cui Yu's father and son building a thatched hut to guard the tomb of Mrs. Cui to copy the Book of Filial Piety, the days of Cui Pu's grandchildren soon gradually returned to their former looseness. In fact, as long as the face is passable, everyone is a little indulgent in private, and the elders will not say anything.
At this time, Mu Jiaojiao received a mysterious letter.
"Who wrote it to you? Holding the letter paper in his hand and looking at it many times, Cui Pu was displeased.
Mu Jiaojiao took the letter back. "I want to know who it is, and I'll know when I see him?"
"Are you really going to see you? Aren't you afraid that he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to poison you?"
"Isn't this you? You've been practicing kung fu for four years, can't I even protect one?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled.
"If so. After getting her affirmation, Cui Pu nodded, "Since this is the case, let's go and see you!"
On the appointed day, the two of them quietly went out and went to the Peony Tower on the edge of the Qujiang River.
As soon as they entered, they saw Dr. Tea greet them and lead them to a delicate private room upstairs.
The cost of tables and chairs in this private room alone costs ten yuan, which is not something that ordinary people can afford. Walking to the door, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu both put their minds at ease - the more valuable their status, the more that person cherishes their feathers, and they will definitely not attack her indiscriminately.
The two of them entered the private room, and the door closed behind them.
Cui Pu was stunned for a moment, and then dodged in front of Mu Jiaojiao.
"Sister, don't you know me?"
At this time, a soft voice sounded, and the person who was standing with his back to them slowly turned around, revealing a delicate face.
When Mu Jiaojiao saw it, she immediately turned around and was about to leave.
"Sister, please stay!" the visitor hurriedly rushed over and grabbed her, "Sister, why have you been so cold to me? Is it because I married into the Shouwang Mansion, so you have to draw a line with me? However, I like you, and my heart has always been towards you, you should understand this." ”
"Princess Shou, the Tao is not the same, you should also understand this truth. The martial arts family is incompatible with the Cui family. Especially in recent years, my husband has been fighting with Wuxian Zun, and you must have heard of this. If you are smart enough, you should cut ties with me to show your loyalty to Concubine Wu Hui. Otherwise, if you let them know that you are still secretly associating with me, and that you are doing something to you, it will be more than worth the loss. Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.
"No, he likes me very much, and he still obeys me after three years of marriage. is to let him know that I have a relationship with you, as long as I am coquettish to him, at most crying, he will definitely not pursue more!" Yang Yuhuan, who was already the princess of Shou, hurriedly said.
Just as she spoke, the happy shyness on her face was a meal, and her hands slowly stroked her lower abdomen. "It's just...... We've been married for three years, and I've never had good news. I invited many famous doctors to take a lot of medicine, but it still had no effect. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have thought of bothering you, Sister. ”
Mu Jiaojiao looked at her cautiously, but this couldn't hide the complicated look in her eyes.
After all, the three-year career of Shouwangfu still left a deep imprint on her body. The once bright and lovely girl is no longer so simple and cute after all.
Mu Jiaojiao said lightly: "I remember that there is a doctor Peng in the Shouwang Mansion, and his medical skills are no worse than mine. ”
"He's been showing me for three years, and it's been ineffective, so what kind of medical skills are not worse than you? It's you, Sister, but it's accurate at first sight, and now I only believe in you!" Yang Yuhuan hurriedly said, looking at her expectantly.
"If he can't see the disease well, then I can't see the reason in my hands. Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, "Princess Shou, just accept your fate! ”
This and so on, I'm afraid it's indefinite, right?
