Chapter 49 Strikes the Autumn Wind
Cui Yun also dealt with the backlog of official affairs in a timely manner years ago.
"You've been busy these days, and it looks like you've lost weight. This is a soup stewed in the kitchen with a lot of medicinal ingredients added. Drink it while it's hot."
Cui Xuanshi found time to come to the study and served him a bowl with his own hands.
Cui Yun said warmly: "Let mother worry about it."
With a tired face, Cui Xuan raised his spirits: "Tomorrow will be the New Year, have you prepared a New Year's gift for Xiyuan? They came to join the Cui family, and you should not be rude as a cousin because they are far away. Mother is afraid that you are so busy that you won't have time to forget about it."
Xiyuan is where the digital watch girl lives.
Cui Xuan suggested: "However, I have prepared a few pieces of jade. If I haven't prepared them, I'll send someone to bring them later. You don't need to bother."
Cui Yun was stunned, and then chuckled.
"Thanks to mother for remembering, my son has indeed forgotten."
Cui Xuan cast a glance at him: "I knew it. You can handle dinner casually when you are busy, how can you remember these trivial matters? If you marry a wife, it will save trouble for Auntie."
"However, with your grandparents, you must prepare what should be prepared by yourself. This is filial piety."
The population of Cui Mansion is the simplest, but the ancestors have left many rules, so there are many things to prepare. Cui Xuan's whole family has to work hard, even if the eldest daughter-in-law wants to help, but she has nothing to do to take care of the devil, sister Rong.
But even so, she made time to make a special trip. No matter how thoughtful her son is, he still needs his mother's advice.
Cui Xuanshi was a little happy when he thought of this. She still had something to do and stayed soon, so Cui Yun sent her out of the house.
Cui Xuan led the servants out of the yard, only to see the most powerful woman rushing over, and whispered to her softly in front of her.
Cui Xuanshi immediately turned cold.
"Really?"
The mother-in-law said respectfully: "Ms. Wu is waiting outside alone with a burden on her back. In the cold winter months, there are people coming and going at the gate of the mansion. When she sees the servants and maidservants, she will cry pitifully. I beg you, my lady, to give her A way out."
Hearing this, Cui Xuanshi's complexion was not pretty.
"After so many years of autumn wind, what kind of monster do you want to be now? Those who don't know think that I have abused her. When the old master was there, I had to endure it. When the old master was gone, I had to endure it." on."
The mother-in-law was also annoyed, but she had no choice but to explain in detail: "She came all the way from Huai County, and it sounds like she wants to live here."
"The calculation is smarter than anyone else. If she stays here, I don't think she plans to go back this time. I'm afraid it's the intention of her parents, who specifically begged me to find a good marriage for her in Shengjing!"
Cui Xuan sneered: "The Wu family stood on the wrong team and supported the wrong people. How could the emperor not complain after he ascended the throne? Back then, if it hadn't been for the old man Wu to cry before the saint, resign and tell his old man to return to his hometown and his family to leave Sheng Beijing, maybe our Yangling Hou Mansion can be implicated."
The mother-in-law showed a sad expression: "After many years, the emperor has forgotten about the Wu family. But the Wu family has no foundation. How can a noble family look up to Mrs. Wu? But she is... the niece of Mrs. Xian, She couldn't be chased away, fearing gossip, the old slave boldly invited her to the living room, and then came to look for the eldest lady."
Cui Xuanshi is the second wife of the old Hou Ye. The original match is Mrs. Wu's youngest daughter.
Cui Wu's family was married to the old Hou Ye for only one year, but she was plagued by serious diseases, and passed away without leaving a son and a half daughter.
But how those younger generations are willing to live in the wild in the countryside.
Once Mrs. Wu went, those restless people found him.
At first, she had just entered the mansion as a bride, and Mrs. Tai delegated power to directly deliver the gift. She is in charge of the house.
But people from the Wu family came to the door again and again, crying and begging for money.
Once or twice is fine, but the Yueyin of the masters of the Yangling Hou Mansion, the entertainment and dinners of the father-in-law and the old Hou Ye, and the banquets and gifts of the various mansions, which one of the mansion’s expenses does not require money?
At that time, she couldn't bear to refuse. If she asked her mother-in-law, she would be incompetent.
But he got a reprimand from the person next to him.
"It's just some money, is it worth your care?"
After a while, Cui Xuan let out a deep breath.
"well done."
Her tone was indescribably weak: "I gave birth to two sons to the old Hou Ye, both of whom are dragons and phoenixes. I am filial to my parents-in-law and have been taking care of the inner house for many years. He still misses his sister."
After all, a living person is no better than a dead person.
"He went to find his sister with peace of mind, but left all the mess to me."
Cui Xuanshi closed his eyes heavily.
"Let someone go and live in Xiyuan."
"Both parents are here, but they come to seek refuge. They really grew up in the countryside. They are really well-behaved. Let the people below pay close attention to it, and don't let anyone get close to my brother."
"The ladies in the house have their own ideas, but they have a sense of proportion. They dare not do dirty things under my nose. It's hard to say that they come from the countryside."
After Cui Xuanshi left, Cui Yun stood in the courtyard, watching the snow that had been falling for several days. There is a thick layer on the ground.
"Master." That is to say, Qing stepped forward.
He held a box in his hand, which contained Mr. Fan Cheng's calligraphy and paintings. There are three copies in total, just distributed to the three ladies in the house.
It was Cui Yun who asked him to pick up the warehouse early in the morning.
Right now, it is useless.
Cui Yun's gaze faded away.
"Master, Mrs. Shen, do you need to go down there?"
That is, if Qing didn't mention it, Cui Yun would have forgotten, and there was Shen Wei.
Although it is the lady he wants to take care of. Cui Yun, however, was too lazy to spend any thought, and said casually in a flat tone, "Just send that box away."
