Xie Yuan said with a smile: "The reason is that Xiao Qi gave the princess's order and ordered Ye Guixue to protect Zhou Gu when he left. Zhou Gu refused to leave and was forcibly taken away from the battlefield by Ye Guixue and his men, leaving Xiao Qi behind. Alone on the battlefield, if the two young masters of the Cui family had not arrived in time, Xiao Qi would have died on the battlefield that day. Zhou Gu fell out with Xiao Qi because of this. I had fainted at that time , I later heard people say that Zhou Gu was very scary that day and scared everyone, the young master of the Cui family was even more frightened by him."
"That's right, but he shouldn't lose his temper after all." Cui Gongdao: "That's it, but there are several other things, all minor things, and his temper is too bad. .”
Xie Yuanxiao, "Everyone has a temper, and Xiao Qi's temper is even worse. When you weren't here, I caught her. She pinched Zhou Gu's face and twisted her waist, and I caught her with Ye Xiang. . This is what we bumped into. If it was behind someone's back, it might have been more outrageous. I reprimanded her, and she realized she was wrong and promised me to change it in the future."
Mr. Cui was stunned, "Are you joking?"
“Xiao Qi was obviously angry at that time, and she was not joking.” Xie Yuan said: “So, Mr. Cui, don’t worry, I will keep an eye on Xiao Qi and not let her bully Zhou Gu.”
Mr. Cui was stunned, "No, no, I'm here to ask you, Zhou Gu bullied the princess."
"It would be okay if Zhou Gu could bully her." Xie Yuan said: "No one I taught Xiaoqi knows her temper better than me. She loves to bully others. When she was in Jiangning County, the whole family in the Prefecture's Mansion except the eldest lady could After scolding her a few words, the other aunts and ladies all avoided her. Not to mention walking sideways, that's about it. I once thought that because of her temperament, even if she had an engagement since childhood, it would be ruined by the Protectorate. I'm afraid I won't be able to get married, who would have thought that Zhou Gu could tolerate her so far."
He said to Cui Gong seriously: "Don't ask Zhou Gu to lecture him in private. He is good like this. He is a good boy. If you can be tougher in front of Xiao Qi and let her do whatever she wants elsewhere, then you can Better.”
Cui Gong: “…”
These words made him don't know what to say.
He asked tentatively: "Is it possible that it is because of your attitude that Zhou Gu feels proud in front of the concubine? Showing off his temper and losing face?"
Xie Yuan laughed out loud, "How could he be so arrogant because of his favor? As the concubine of the concubine, he is also an official in the court. You have been here for many days, and you have seen with your own eyes how tired he is. Such a concubine of the concubine, There was no place to look for the lantern, which was Xiaoqi's good fortune. In the past six months, no one in the government or the public was dissatisfied. Earlier, those old ministers secretly wanted to send the young master of the family to the palace as a side husband. Jun, look at how many of you are still making up your mind now? Almost half of your thoughts have been lost."
Mr. Cui sat up straight and said, "That's it."
Xie Yuan looked at him, "Who said anything in Cui Gong's ears?"
"Hey, it's Xiao Yanjin. He saw it with his own eyes several times and what he said was reasonable and well-founded, so I started to doubt it." Cui Gong didn't treat Xie Yuan as an outsider and told the truth.
Xie Yuan said, "Xiao Yanjin, this child is still young. He is a teenager after all. He is not enlightened. He does not understand that it is better to lose temper and show some temper between unmarried men and women than to hide and protect each other." Wait. When he grows up and becomes enlightened, you will understand that you cannot listen to everything he says. If you are still not at ease, you might as well ask Xing Zhi, he has a calm temperament and is more objective."
Cui Gong shook his head and smiled, "That makes sense. I almost forgot that Xiao Yanjin is still a child. What a child sees is what he sees, but I was led astray by him for a moment. No need to ask him, I How can I not believe you?"
After listening to Cui Yanjin's words, he actually doubted his grandson, thinking that he was really arrogant because of his favor. That was not okay.
Xie Yuanxiao.
He was thinking about what to give to his cousin-in-law. He rummaged through the treasury he brought from home, but felt that nothing was satisfactory. Finally, he went to Cui Mansion to rummage through his parents' treasury. Cui Yuanbin glared at him, "You brat, since the day you came back and I saw you once, you have lived in the Xie Mansion without a trace. What are you doing back now?"
Cui Yanjin poked his **** and went through his father's private treasury, "Come back and tell me to look for a birthday gift for my cousin-in-law."
Cui Yuanbin looked at Cui Yanjin and wanted to kick him in the butt. What son, did he not have a birthday gift for the princess? Come here to look for him?
But looking at the sixth-grade official uniform on his body, he did not attack the court official after all. Instead, he knelt down and asked him: "You have a lot of good things in your own private treasury. What are you looking for here?"
"I don't have anything satisfactory in my private treasury." Cui Yanjin replied without raising his head.
Cui Yuanbin looked at him, "You have so many things, can't you pick out one thing?"
"I can't pick them out, they are all playthings." Cui Yanjin said with a serious face, "How can I fool my cousin-in-law with the things I gave them to? My cousin-in-law must accept them and like them."
He turned around and lectured his father, "Dad, my cousin is a princess, how can she just give her a gift? It is said that the king gave her a large private treasury in the palace, with everything from red hairpin jewelry, silk and satin, treasures and jewelry. . She has too many good things, and I’m afraid she won’t like the gift I chose.”
He muttered, "After all, my cousin is very kind to me. I am the only cousin who treats me well."
There are many children of the Cui family in Qinghe. Although the eldest concubine in the Protector's Palace is also a cousin-in-law, she is not a direct descendant of Cui Gong, so naturally she doesn't have much contact with them, and the eldest concubine will not be kind to him, a child of a collateral line. But now this cousin is really nice to him. When his cousin doesn't like him, he loses his temper and often looks like he wants to beat him, but his cousin stops him.
Moreover, before my uncle and his parents came, many people were dissatisfied with his entry into the imperial court, but it was all suppressed by his cousin. She was so busy that she had no time to sleep, but she still cared about him in Beijing. Let people take care of him.
Cui Yuanbin thought about it, "Then what do you want to give?"
“I don’t know, let me see what you have first, Dad.” Cui Yanjin buried his head and rummaged through it.
Cui Yuanbin didn’t stop him anymore, “Okay, go ahead and turn it over!”
Since you are giving something to the concubine, it must be done solemnly and it must be delivered to your heart. You cannot just give it away and be done with it.
Cui Yanjin finished looking through his father's private treasury and sighed, "Dad, you don't have too many good things."
Cui Yuanbin stared, "I have so many good things, but you don't have any of them that you like? Can you give them away?"
Cui Yanjin shook his head, "No."
He turned around and left, "I'm going to find my mother."
