Chapter 1147 Chapter 1147: Artemisia Ascaris (Part 1) [Please vote for me]
Hurling clucking—
Cui Mi was about to pay his respects to his father when he met his brother on the road.
As they walked into the inner courtyard, they heard the sound of something being overturned, followed by a question with suppressed anger: "Cui Zhishan, do you have the guts to repeat it to me, which family did you choose as the fiancée for Daxiong? I don’t have any temper at all?”
Brother Cui Mi looked at each other.
Just when he was hesitating whether to leave quietly, to make room for his parents to quarrel, Cui Hui heard a low and depressed voice in the house: "Come in outside the door, what are you doing secretly?"
Brother Cui Xiong could only bite the bullet and step into the hospital.
First he greeted his parents with his tail between his legs, then raised his head and took a quick glance. Everything in the hall was normal, except that the desk in front of his father had been turned over, and a pile of letters were scattered on the floor. The mother stood in the middle of the mess, and the father sat silently.
Cui Xiong bit the bullet and said, "Since father and mother still have things to discuss, my son won't interrupt. You can continue talking."
At this moment, I just want to stay away from the battlefield.
He is not afraid of the situation escalating because they can't quarrel.
My mother has a straightforward temperament, but she can become irritable if she is too enthusiastic. My father is the complete opposite. It is said that nothing can make him lose control since childhood. It was the same in the past. Whenever the couple had conflicts, the mother would argue, while the father would listen quietly.
Cui Xiong is grateful for this.
This is much better than those couples from other aristocratic families who share the same bed but have different dreams.
At that time, Cui Mi, who was still young, said that the two of them would have to separate sooner or later.
【My father loves my mother very much, why did he reconcile with me? 】
Because they can’t make a noise. 】
Cui Xiong was confused: [Isn’t it a good thing that we can’t quarrel? 】
Douding Cui Mi said in an old-fashioned tone: "It's not all good. My mother quarreled with my father because she wanted to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, but my father was as silent as a piece of wood. My mother would only get angrier as she watched." 】
Why is this so? ] Cui Xiong couldn't figure it out at all.
Cui Mi said: [I don’t know, my grandmother said so. 】
Cui Xiong didn’t understand this when he was a child, but now he is an adult, and he understands the problems in his parents’ relationship to some extent. Just as a son, he couldn't give advice to his father on his behalf.
Watching the couple quarreling again, Cui Xiong's head got big.
In less than two attempts, the father can drive the mother away again.
Cui Xiong wanted to escape, but Cui Hui couldn't agree.
“Big Bear, you stay, why run away!”
These words were like a nail nailing Cui Xiong's feet to the ground. He didn't dare to take another half step and knelt back with his neck curled up.
“Do you know, Big Bear, which girl your father has chosen for you?”
Cui Xiong said honestly: "Uh... I know."
Cui Hui sneered: "The You family's daughter."
Cui Xiong lowered his head: "Well..."
"Um, what?" Although this outburst was Cui Hui's deliberate use of the theme, directing and acting, her eldest son's reaction made her angry. He was exactly the same as Cui Zhishan next to him, "The king's male favorite is Youshi , the daughter of the You family that your father has chosen for you is his biological niece! No, the three generations of you, the Cui family, are really bullying others!"
Only from the surface, it is indeed outrageous.
The ex-wife’s beloved niece is going to marry her son.
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law disliked her for so many years because she was not from a high family and did not belong to the Cui family. As a result, she turned around and decided to give her own son a new family that relied on male favors to rise up. No matter how bad she was, Cui Hui was still a good person. The You family settled in a poor place in the market. With the help of good-looking and talented men, she climbed into the king's bed, and she was able to achieve great heights. Is it more noble than her?
It is impossible for my ex-father-in-law and ex-mother-in-law to think highly of You.
In the final analysis, he still despises the son she gave birth to.
She is just disgusting.
Cui Hui would be suspicious if he didn't cause a scene.
She was just acting at first, and took the opportunity to avenge Cui and Cui Zhi's family. However, she used too much force and acted out her emotions. The grievances they had suffered all broke out at this moment, and tears welled up from their eyes. Cui Zhi and his son were really panicked.
“Ke Wu, please listen to my explanation.”
"Mother-"
Cui Hui pushed Cui Zhi away, who was an eyesore, and covered his expression with a handkerchief so as not to expose his secrets. He said angrily: "Explanation? What kind of misunderstanding deserves the honor of the Cui family's head, Yu, a commoner like me, to explain to you? It makes me sick! You guys Are you cheating on my son, or are you cheating on me? In short, I don’t agree to this marriage!”
Cui Zhi opened his mouth and was about to respond.
How does Cui Hui understand him?
Afraid of going too far and ruining the plan, he opened his mouth to intercept Cui Zhi's words, turned his back to the man, and laughed at himself: "Haha, what's the use if I don't agree? The three of you with the surname Cui belong to the Cui family of a wealthy family. My surname is Cui. Cui is just a common man, so what qualifications do he have to give advice on your marriage plan?"
Cui Zhidao: "This is just a delaying tactic."
Cui Hui had distrust written on his face.
Cui Zhi patiently explained: "I never mean to offend you or Hou Bai! The relationship between the Cui family and the royal family is complicated, and there are many entanglements of interests. They have tried to install informants more than once, but they have failed in the past. If they refuse again, I'm afraid It's not good for Cui to overturn the car. But I just agreed verbally to appease people first."
“It’s better to keep people under your nose than to guard against them day and night.”
It’s not really a marriage, just an engagement.
Cui Zhi said calmly: "The You family has a shallow foundation."
Having a shallow foundation means that it is easy to uproot it if necessary in the future. The royal family intervened in Cui Xiong's marriage, but they did not want Cui to win over allies through marriage. It was normal for the royal family to arrange a female queen with a small family but a sensitive identity. For the Cui family and the royal family, it was a game between the two sides. One side only produced a title that was unknown when it would be fulfilled, and the other only produced a girl from a small family.
If things really collapse in the future, what sacrifices can be made?
Chui Xiong’s marriage was postponed for two years.
The head of the country suffered zero losses. She did not even lose a royal concubine, but a niece who was favored by a man.
As for the daughter of the You family who was used as a **** in the game?
You himself couldn’t wait to sacrifice his life, so Cui and the royal family would naturally have no worries if they insisted on wading into this muddy water.
When chess players play chess, do they think about whether the pieces are willing?
“The relationship is complicated? How is it complicated?”
Cui Hui pretended not to understand, was arrogant and jealous, and had a strange and yin-yang attitude.
But I was really breaking out in a cold sweat inside.
If the current daughter of the You family had not changed, she might have died in an unknown way - yes, she would have died, either the royal family would have done it or it would have been the Cui family. When her former parents-in-law refused to let her enter the family, they not only expressed disdain, but also failed to defeat her eldest son in action, but actually sent people to kill Cui Hui quietly.
Make a move more than once.
Cui Hui only knew about it twice.
There are even more people who were secretly stopped by Cui Zhi.
For aristocratic families, the lives of ordinary people in the city may not be as good as those of a maid serving a first-class maid, and they are not even qualified to be treated as a plaything. Cui Zhi was as offended by her as his daughter-in-law, but he was not polite to others. He really does what he says!
Cui Zhi did not doubt that he was there, and continued to understand him with emotion and reason: "Because Cui made a bet on the king of the country back then."
Of course it is impossible to stud directly at the beginning.
At that time, Wang Ji, who was a vassal, had not many people to use in her fiefdom, so she used her jade pendant to find Cui Zhi. Cui Zhinian felt guilty for helping, and through her, she recommended many young men from small households who were attached to the Cui family. After observing for a while, I found that the fiefdom was well taken care of.
Wang Ji sent Mei Meng over again to discuss negotiations.
Means that he hopes Cui will invest more.
What really made Cui make a big bet was the national seal in Wang Ji's hand, the warrior Qi Cang who was loyal to Wang Ji for some reason, and Wang Ji's promise. Cui will make a profit from this, so there is no reason not to follow. How much weight can the icing on the cake have if you can provide help in times of need and not follow up now, but you can follow up later? The Cui family has always had the upper hand in cooperation, but as the Qi State expanded its territory, it successively annexed several neighboring countries, absorbing local forces and diluting the Cui family's voice.
In layman’s terms, the leader of the country has the confidence to challenge. Of course, the two sides will not really break up, it will only hurt both sides, and finally give the jackals and tigers that have been coveted for a long time an advantage.
Cui Hui understood the truth. She grew up under the care of uncles and aunts in the bandit village, and the things she saw were not clean. As the leader of the clan, Cui Zhi's duty is to continue the family and survive in troubled times. Decent. However, she is not here to reason today: "Where has Cui's stubbornness as the head of the aristocratic family gone? The family is big and the business is big, why can't you let go of these things?"
Each word is full of yin and yang, expressing grievances.
Cui was able to "bear the humiliation" and agreed to marry You, but he was harsh on her in every possible way. The grievances of those years are her moral capital to attack the other party now, and she is not merciless in using them.
Others may not like this, but Cui Zhi will definitely.
Seeing that her tone softened, Cui Zhi handed her a handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears: "How can things be so simple? The head of a noble family is just a false name. He needs to cooperate more with other families. If the Cui family is really in a desperate situation, there is no chance of death. , each family will just stay away from the Cui family. How can there be any permanent allies in this world? The Cui family has a great cause and cannot afford to fight against the troops of a country. "
In the past, the royal family was controlled by the Cui family.
Now that the ruler of the country is gradually gathering military power and wooing a group of generals, it is not difficult to massacre the Cui family from top to bottom. He had never done this, so naturally Cui was also exploiting the weak points of the general group. Marching and fighting requires not only men, but also food, grass and baggage.
The leader of the country has soldiers and horses.
The Cui family has grain and grass resources.
Neither one of the two sides is confident enough to stabilize the situation after the fallout, so they can only keep trying to find a balance. It is better to continue to cooperate and win together than to risk and die together.
This marriage is a fitting sign of the Cui family's submission.
The wedding date was not set immediately because the royal family gave Cui leeway.
Cui Hui sniffed, calmed down, and began to sympathize with Lady You: "So, isn't Lady You pitiful?"
Cui Zhi: “…”
He said indifferently: "It's just normal for aristocratic families."
"It also depends on fate." Cui Xiong, who had been silent all this time, said, "If there is really no fate, my son will try his best to protect her."
It's not that Cui Xiong has any good impression of the You family queen, it's just to appease his mother and he doesn't want to leave a negative impression of being mean and unfeeling in front of her. In fact, Cui Xiong is the qualified heir.
Cui Hui exhaled a breath of thick air.
Hand waved helplessly: "Don't tell me these things."
Cui Xiong said: "Mother has a kind heart."
Of the three father and son, only Cui Mi remained silent.
Not only did he see his own future scene switching, he also saw his brother's future jumping between life and death. Too many past experiences taught him that if you interfere with the other party's cause and effect, you will have to bear the other party's fate, and in serious cases, you will have to pay a greater price.
For example, he originally intended to help someone avoid the pain of a broken leg, but ended up causing the other person to suffer the pain of a broken head. Typical "I won't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." The human heart must not be greedy. It is better to just let nature take its course, just like the alternation of the four seasons and the iteration of mountains and rivers.
The real You family queen is an ordinary girl from aristocratic family, but now this You family queen plays with her brother like a dog.
He knows everything, but he can't say anything clearly.
This life is not long anyway, and it is better to fight more excitingly in the limited time than to be mediocre and boring for half your life.
During this commotion, Cui Huineng approached the You family queen openly.
Miao Na took what Cui Hui handed over and said, "What?"
Cui Huidao: "Related to the Cui family."
Miao Ne can quickly rise to power and win the trust of the country's leader.
Miao Ne wants to be the most trusted confidant of the king. If she crosses Mei Meng, she will make meritorious deeds. Liao Jia hasn't arrived yet, and the two of them have no foundation in Qi State. If they want to make a quick contribution, they can't go through normal channels. Mrs. Cui is covered in fat, and even a few pieces of it won't kill her.
When Lio Jia comes over, everyone will definitely be turned upside down!
Cui Hui has already decided which company to start with.
Being the mistress of an aristocratic family for so many years is not in vain, nor is the genealogy of each family and the relationship between the members of the family recorded in vain, Ba Shi is very happy!
Miao Na frowned: "Is it safe for you to come see me?"
She also comes from a noble family. Even though the Miao family was only a small border clan before being taken care of by Shen Jun, the Miao family has not missed any of the family's problems and is well aware of what the family looks like. Cui Zhineng is an exception? Miao Nadu suspected that the other party wanted to kill him.
Hmm, if she were the head of the Cui clan, she would do the same thing.
Cui Huidao: "There was a big fuss, now it's safe."
Who makes her a soft-hearted and empathetic "mother-in-law".
There is only one thing -
"Can you spare the life of this kid, Big Bear? The rest is just a lesson before giving him the crowning ceremony." Cui Hui still felt sorry for the child, "Teach him what it means to have a sinister heart."
Miao Na said: "Nvjun Cui has great confidence in the grassroots people."
Cui Hui: “…”
Can I not have confidence?
You dare to go to Gaoguo alone to show off your plum blossoms and startle the cranes.
Now she is in the dark and the big bear is in the light, why won't she be played to death?
at this time-
Liao Jia is on her way here in a hurry.
at this time-
Gong Xiqiu was squatting on the ground and looking at something.
A little piece of meat-like thing in a little bit of a chrysalis.
Shen Tang finished his sleep and regained some energy. When he woke up, he still didn't see Wuhui looking at him. If the mountain is not hers, she will be the mountain. Like a ghost, his footsteps floated out of the tent.
As a result, I got lost.
It’s not her fault, the new camp layout is completely unfamiliar.
I wanted to find a temporary canteen but ended up in the wounded barracks.
It is said to be a wounded barracks, but in fact, it houses refugees who were rescued from the fire in the capital of Gao. Six days had passed since the fire was extinguished, and the wounded barracks had gone from being overloaded to being in order. Those with minor injuries have been sent out, and most of those with serious injuries have recovered from danger. Shen Tang's expression was very harmonious.
With the peripheral vision, he spotted an acquaintance.
“Gongxi Qiu!”
She tapped the other person on the shoulder from behind.
Gong Xiqiu had long noticed Shen Tang's aura: "You're back?"
"Who am I? Can I come back?" Shen Tang stretched his neck to take a closer look, but at one glance he shrank back in disgust, retreated, and said, "Tsk, tsk, how old are you, and you still play with bugs?"
Gong Xiqiu sneered.
“My brother asked me to play…”
“High priest?”
Gong Xiqiu threw away the stick and said depressedly: "He asked me... asked me to collect these bugs late at night."
"Then?"
Why is the resentment so great?
Gong Xiqiu: "These bugs come out of the butthole..."
Shen Tang: “…whose asshole?”
