Chapter 106 It’s better to talk less and read more.
"Madam, can you rest?"
Cheng's mother asked worriedly.
Yi Cui retreated slowly. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and it seemed as if Shen Hua's angry words not long ago were still in her ears.
——Don’t stop me! Otherwise I’ll scratch you!
They all had good words to say and tried to persuade them, but Shen Hua didn't listen to a single word.
Until Cui Yun came forward.
——You are tired, go back and rest.
--I am not tired.
Cui Yun is determined.
--tired.
--Tired?
The girl's tone became less confident.
"Let's take a rest. I drank some sobering tea and went to sleep."
Cheng's mother felt relieved when she heard this: "The Marquis gave the order before he left. The fruit wine tastes sweet but has a strong stamina. It shows that the lady has a good drinking capacity."
Normally, a girl would be drunk for three days and three nights after drinking. The strong smell of alcohol would slowly dissipate.
More than good.
My wife's drinking ability has been secretly developed over the past few years.
Yicui once asked.
——Madam, can wine really relieve sorrow?
--cannot.
Yicui still remembers what Shen Hua said.
——Just get drunk and sleep more peacefully.
Yi Cui hid the complexity in her eyes and smiled without saying a word.
"My wife is drunk and cannot stay away from anyone. Ningzhu, please go in and wait on me."
She gave Shen Hua a bath, and her dress was stained with water due to Shen Hua's lack of cooperation, so she had to change into another one.
"yes."
Ningzhu quickly entered the house.
She crouched and closed the door, then walked towards the inner room in small steps. As soon as she walked around the screen, she went to the golden hook to lower the curtain.
The girl on the couch had a flushed face, as if she had been smeared with the reddest rouge, and was unparalleled in beauty. Her sleeping posture could be described as demure and unparalleled.
After Ningzhu finished doing this, she found the nearest chair and sat down, holding in her hand the introductory stitches of embroidery for newcomers that Shen Hua specially selected for her.
No one saw it, but the Rudraksha bracelet on the girl's wrist under the quilt condensed a dazzling but strange red light that lingered for a long time.
Shen Hua's body was light and airy.
There was an erratic voice in the distance, which was not very clear. Shen Hua was so drunk that she subconsciously drifted towards the source of the sound.
Then the sky brightened.
Yanglinghou Mansion.
"This is Xiaoyu, the daughter of the lady in charge of Zhuangzi. When the old slave saw that she acted thoughtfully, he thought of it and went over to serve the second young master."
Mrs. Wang had a gold bracelet hanging on her wrist, and she was also dressed very decently. She asked Xiaoyu to pay respects to Cui Xuanshi, and then said.
"How can the two young masters, Qing and Xin, serve you in the second young master's courtyard?"
Cui Xuanshi's face was not very pretty.
Mrs. Wang belonged to the late wife, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Wang would want to trap people in Cui Yun's courtyard.
How dare she, a slave?
Behind the scenes is nothing more than the Wu family.
The late Madam's niece, Mrs. Wu, comes here every now and then to catch the autumn breeze. Isn't it because of Brother Yun?
If she nodded, would the Wu family know Cui Yun's every move?
Cui Xuanshi endured her temper.
"It's good that you bothered, but Brother Yun has always had his own opinion. He selects the people in his yard by himself. I also sent slaves there in the past, but they were all rejected."
She spoke with a smile, but there was also a sense of criticizing Huai: "He said that he was the only one who picked it, and he knew the details, so he felt relieved. Jixin was also a blessing to her brother Jiqing, and he was smart but more settled. .That’s why I was able to stay.”
Mrs. Wang's old face sank and she looked even more mean.
"My wife is the one with the biggest breasts, so this old slave can't help but make a bigger picture. Our wife died early and had a hard life. She didn't leave a son or a half, but she is the Marquis's first wife after all. Step-Madam, you came later."
Cui Xuanshi's hands tightened under her sleeves.
Although this is an unpleasant thing to say, although it cannot be compared with the dead, this is the principle of first come, first served.
She couldn't deny it.
"The brothers in the house are the most filial. During the holidays, both brothers have to go to our wife's memorial tablet to offer incense. I think this is the bond between mother and son."
"Xiaoyu went over to serve the second young master, so she thought our wife felt sorry for him."
Mrs. Wang asked: "Why shouldn't the step-wife do the same?"
"You are the biological mother, are you still afraid that our wife will steal her from you?"
This hat is really big.
Cui Xuanshi is not afraid that her reputation will be in trouble. A mother-in-law cannot make waves, but behind her is the Wu family, and the Marquis's heart is also with his original wife, so she has to be careful.
She was the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Yongchang. She had never been romantically involved with anyone before she got married. Back then, the Countess of Yongchang had a big quarrel with the Earl of Yongchang over her marriage.
——You actually pointed your daughter out to Cui Yang? I’m afraid you’ve lost your mind!
——Cui Yang is a responsible person, so how can he not be a good match?
——Yes, the population of Yanglinghou Mansion is simple, but his first wife is dead! If you keep thinking about the old person, your daughter will be wronged.
Cui Xuan never thought that her mother's words would come true.
Cui Yang was very greedy in sexual matters. Cui Xuan couldn't bear it for a while, but she endured her shyness to cater to him.
Later, it wasn't until she got Cui Yun that she finally realized that Cui Yang was good to her, but it was just respect, not love.
Just like what she heard outside the study that day.
——Cui Yang, it’s really hard for you, a military commander, to get along with your wife and discuss poetry and poetry elegantly.
--she likes.
——I started reading books when I liked you? I didn’t know that you could be so diligent except for the art of war. Or do you think you have nothing to talk about other than talking about these things with your sister-in-law?
Nothing to talk about.
Yes, Cui Yang has always been reticent in front of him.
And Cui Bo and Cui Yun all want to pursue official careers, and there is no room for any stain.
Cui Xuan raised her eyes and said to the maid next to Mrs. Wang, "Come forward."
The maid came forward respectfully and blessed Cui Xuan's body again.
"lady."
"He looks like Zhou Zheng."
Cui Xuanshi could only relax her words.
"In this case, how can I cross my legs and send the person over?"
Mrs. Wang finally had a smile on her face.
"I know step-wife you are not an unreasonable person."
After Mrs. Wang left with satisfaction, Mrs. Cui Xuan sighed deeply.
She said to the mother-in-law who was waiting beside her.
"Go and send a message to Jixin, asking her to take care of her and not let the maid get close to my brother. She will find a wrong place to send him away in the future."
At this moment, the maid who was waiting outside came forward and said: "Mother, the Lord Marquis is sending a message. I will go back to my house to rest tonight."
Cui Xuanshi was even more upset.
She didn't have the heart to serve Cui Yang either.
"What does he want to do when he comes back to tell me?"
"Let the kitchen prepare more dishes. I am not feeling well and it is not convenient for me to get over my illness in front of the Marquis."
Cui Xuan dropped these words and went back to the inner room to lie down. After two hours of sleep, it was already dark.
When she woke up again, there was someone sitting in front of the bed.
Cui Xuanshi was shocked.
"Master Hou."
Cui Yang looked at her and said in a gentle tone: "I heard from my servants that you were not feeling well, so I called for a medical attendant. He took your pulse and said that you are not ill."
"You didn't want to see me on purpose?"
Cui Xuanshi became angry and said: "Yes."
As night fell, the sky was full of stars, but it was lonely. Cui Yang went to the study without saying a word and with a sullen face.
Why are you angry with him again?
Could it be that she didn't match her first couplet last time?
Cui Yang had a headache and said to himself: "It's better to talk less and read more."
