Chapter 44 It doesn't matter, I don't care
The setting sun is red, and the twilight hits across the overlapping mountains.
Pedestrians on the road all rushed home, except naughty children who didn't know it was too late. The rattling is arguing fiercely.
"My father earns eight taels of silver every month, that's amazing!"
"What's there to be proud of? My father is ten taels, more than your father. He handed it all over to my mother, who turned around and bought me new clothes."
"My father is the best."
"Nonsense!"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing. My father has five concubines, does your father have any?"
Outside the road, the hooves of the horses gradually raised up, and when you looked around, you could see the heroic figure on the horseback, with his sleeves bulging in the wind.
Cui Yun stopped at the Marquis Mansion of Yangling, overturned his cart and got off his horse, throwing the reins into the hands of the guards who stepped forward, and then went up the stairs to the main courtyard.
"Master Hou is finally back." The woman in the courtyard trotted over, holding an umbrella to cover the snowflakes all over the sky.
"Madam Tai is talking about you with the old lady."
The maid standing outside the house hurriedly lifted up the heavy curtain to invite Cui Yun in.
The ground dragon was burned in the house, and the hot air rushed to the face, and the frost and snow on the cloak instantly turned into water vapor.
Cui Yun didn't like to let people get close, so he took off his cloak, took the towel handed over by the attendant, and wiped it off.
The movement of talking inside stopped slightly.
Mrs. Tai wears a cumbersome fish and beast mop on her forehead, a bun on her head, and a camel-colored beige with dali pattern.
Through the bead curtain, one can vaguely see the man's straight figure.
"But Brother Yun is back?"
Cui Yun stepped forward upon hearing the sound, and greeted him politely.
"How is grandma doing recently?"
Mrs. Tai has two sons. The eldest son is Cui Yun's late father. Heaven and man are separated forever. The younger son works far away in Huizhou. They haven't seen each other for three years.
The eldest son died, and the eldest grandson also passed away. Mrs. Tai fell ill after hearing the bad news, and her body lost the vigor to move forward.
"Okay, Ni Kang asked me for a pulse the next day, how can it be bad."
"Brother Cui, come and sit down with grandma."
Cui Yun greeted the women around Mrs. Tai again.
Cui Xuan's beauty is not diminished, and her charm still exists. When she was young, she was famous in Shengjing as a beautiful woman.
She added a cup of tea to Mrs. Tai and asked, "Is the journey going well?"
I don't blame her for asking, Cui Yun stated the return date before leaving the house. Her son has always been safe, but this time it was two days late.
He left Shengjing not for official business. As for why, no one in the Yangling Hou Mansion asked, including Mrs. Cui, who never restrained him.
"Is it the son or not, I am worried about it."
Seeing him like this, Cui Xuan was heartbroken. He didn't ask any more questions.
"If you don't want me and your aunt to worry, you should get married soon. The house hasn't been lively for a long time, so it's good to add some joy."
Cui Yun smiled: "Yes."
Mrs. Tai sighed: "Your second uncle wrote a letter saying that you won't be able to come back for the New Year this year. Fortunately, you rushed back, otherwise the house would be even more deserted."
Seeing that Cui Yun had no objection to getting married, she couldn't help but smile.
"Hou's family has only a few heirs, and Sister Rong is alone. Grandmother is looking forward to you and the bride growing up."
When she mentioned Cui Rong, Cui Yun couldn't help turning her eyes around.
Mrs. Tai shot him a look.
"Don't look for it, that crazy girl is tired from playing, so she asked your sister-in-law to carry her back to sleep. Did you hear what grandma told you?"
Cui Yun was helpless.
"yes."
One word is not finished.
Cui Yun got a headache from hearing this, and got up quickly.
He has never throbbed with love, and he has never had a beautiful fantasy about any girl at night. Therefore, there was no expectation of the future bride.
But he did have to get married.
Cui Xuanshi's vision is naturally good. The sister-in-law she chose for her brother was decent and virtuous.
Cui Yun said calmly, and made a big gift to the two: "All grandmothers and aunts are in charge."
Cui Xuan frowned. The words came to his lips, but he didn't say them in the end.
After she took a break from serving Mrs. Tai, she walked back to the yard along the corridor with a heavy heart.
The confidant woman next to her held a lantern, and comforted: "Master Hou responded quickly this time. It won't be long before a bride will offer you tea for your daughter-in-law. Why are you worried?"
Cui Xuanshi sighed.
"I only have this son left under my knees. Going forward, Brother Bai is the most worry-free, and Brother Yun knows how to play tricks. I always hope that he will be more stable, and more stable, but now he is as I expected, but I I miss the way he used to be noisy. Look, what is this kid doing now?"
It's not that she didn't feel distressed.
How could the old man who taught Cui Yun not feel distressed?
Cui Xuan seemed to be able to see the picture of the two brothers together.
Cui Bai was still a young boy back then, his brows were still childish, and he carried Cui Yun on his back.
"Aniang, brother Yun is tired, I'll send him back to rest first."
Cui Xuanshi met Cui Yun's baby fat face, and the child's eyes rolled around.
Two sons, she is never biased: "Does he have no legs? You are just used to it, Brother Yun, come down and walk by yourself."
Cui Yun put her arms around Cui Bai's neck, making a baby voice.
"Aniang, why do you always stop my brother from loving me?"
Cui Bai was afraid that Cui Xuan would punish his younger brother, so he hurriedly said, "Mother, how much does Brother Yun weigh? I'm not tired."
Cui Yun took advantage of the trend and climbed up, triumphantly: "I'm already a mother, how can I even eat my younger son's jealousy."
But what.
Now Cui Yun is more standard than anyone else in asking An to salute.
What kind of son is not, let A Niang worry about it. Cui Xuanshi would rather Cui Yun never tire of nagging in her ear. Exaggerating the difficulties along the way.
"Right now, the rise and fall of the Yangling Marquis Mansion depends on him alone. It is an honor and a shackle. Brother Yun kept a low profile and did not disappoint anyone in the mansion."
Climbing to that position at this age is glorious, but no one knows the hardships behind it.
"How can I be willing to let go, even the person next to my pillow is not what he wants?"
Unfortunately, Cui Yun concealed it too deeply.
Cui Xuanshi has not yet figured out whether the girl he likes is delicate, gentle, or dignified?
"Mistress Yan in the Admiral's Mansion is good, but if he is not satisfied, no matter how good she is, it will be in vain."
Cui Xuanshi looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and remembered the praise of Cui Yun from the world. The frown unavoidably relaxed.
"Let's take a look at the Admiral's Mansion and let it go. When you find a suitable time, talk to your mother-in-law clearly."
"I look at him now, but he has never met a girl he likes."
If he hadn't raised a cat a few years ago, Cui Xuan would really think that Cui Yun would have nothing but desires to climb up.
So, it doesn't matter, this doesn't care.
The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Master Hou has never tasted the love of children, and there is nothing to choose from Lady Yan's temperament and appearance. Maybe Master Hou will be happy after seeing it."
This statement is true, Cui Xuanshi got some comfort.
She also had an idea.
"How difficult is this, let him see it."
Cui Xuanshi: Is the girl Yun brother likes delicate, gentle, or dignified?
Gentle: I like clingy, capricious, delicate and contrived actors.
