Chapter 164
Our Lord Marquis is very capable
Early the next morning.
Main courtyard.
After Mrs. Cui had eaten, she asked Cui Rong about her studies in detail. Cui Rong spoke sweetly and coaxed Mrs. Cui to hold her on her lap.
She lowered her head and scratched Cui Rong's nose: "You little bully, why don't you go out and cause trouble these days?"
Cui Rong pouted: "I am the most peaceful little girl."
"Yes." The fine lines on Mrs. Cui's face are the most gentle gifts brought by time, and she responded matter-of-factly.
Then, she asked.
"But why did you beat up the young master of the Wei family last time? If your second uncle hadn't informed you, I'm afraid the whole family wouldn't have known about it."
Cui Rong became stiff.
"Young Master Wei is always the most accommodating to you, but he still wants to help you handle this matter. It's hard for the Wei family to come to hold you accountable. You should explain things to your great-grandmother."
Cui Rong continued to be stiff.
She glanced at Qiao Si cautiously.
However, Qiao Si stopped laughing: "I didn't know there was such a thing."
Cui Rong got off the wife, and couldn't help but feel more and more resentful towards Shen Hua, the person who complained.
"Whatever my great-grandmother said I did, you should blame the guy in the east courtyard."
"She's just so troublesome!"
As she said that, she thought about yesterday's incident again. Xiaotuanzi stamped his feet and held deep grudges.
"It's her. It rained so heavily yesterday, and my second uncle didn't even care about me."
She held her heart and said, "I'm so sad."
"How does your second uncle treat you? Great-grandmother doesn't believe it."
“If there is one, there will be!”
Mrs. Cui turned her head to look at Qiao Si in confusion.
Qiao Si stood up quickly: "Grandma, don't listen to her nonsense."
As she spoke, she scolded: "Your second uncle doesn't care about you anymore. Ying Wu sent you back yesterday, right?"
Cui Rong hugged Mrs. Cui's arm aggrievedly: "Great-grandmother, did you hear me?"
"Second uncle! He has changed his mind!"
This sentence almost choked Cui Xuan who was drinking tea at the side.
She gave Cui Rong an angry look.
Then he respectfully said to Mrs. Cui: "My nephew from my mother's side will get married in a few days. Will my mother-in-law go with her?"
Mrs. Cui pondered for a moment and said: "I'm getting older, so I won't go. Your aunt is just a nephew. It doesn't matter if you go a few days earlier and rest at your parents' house for a few days. Our family affairs don't matter." There are too many things, just take Ah Si and Sister Rong with you."
Cui Xuanshi knew it well.
She said warmly: "Do you still remember Mrs. Shen from the east courtyard? My daughter-in-law took her there with her."
Mrs. Cui remembered that there was such a person. But she was so absorbed in watching the theater that day that she had almost forgotten his appearance.
"She is your cousin and a relative of the Xuan family, so we should go together."
Cui Xuanshi chuckled.
"Brother Yun came to my courtyard at night last night just for this matter."
Cui Yun was born to her. It was raining heavily and she could just ask her subordinates to deliver the message, but he came in person.
At that time, Mrs. Cui Xuan was having dinner. She asked Fang's mother to prepare more bowls and chopsticks, but Cui Yun said otherwise.
"My son has used it."
But after a moment, he added another sentence in his calm tone.
"For use in the east courtyard."
Cui Yun is the most polite person, and he has followed the rules in recent years. Not to mention eating with his wife, he is afraid that he will not chat alone with the cousins in the house.
This doesn't seem like something he would do, especially if he brought this matter to his face personally.
Cui Xuanshi knew what Cui Yun wanted.
she asked.
——So, that day at Yixiantian Restaurant
Before she could finish her sentence, Cui Yun said warmly.
--is her.
Cui Yun also said.
——My son came here specifically to tell my grandma that the restaurant incident was indeed for the royal family to see, but it was not a rumor.
He is frank and straightforward.
Mrs. Cui Xuan enjoyed this all night. Since Cui Yun had given out the signal, she could hide it from outsiders in emergencies, but there was no need to hide it from Mrs. Cui anymore.
Mrs. Cui smiled lightly before she could ask further questions.
"Then Madam Shen is not my niece."
Cui Xuanshi said gently but with a lot of teasing: "Our Lord Marquis is very capable. He said he is my cousin, how can I refute him?"
Mrs. Cui was silent.
Mrs. Cui continued to be silent.
I don't know how long it took, but she calmly went to serve the tea on the table. Her hands were shaking a little.
When Cui Rong saw that no one was paying attention to her, she moved out step by step and ran away.
From now on, many people who came to inquire were dismissed by Qiao Si: "It is indeed true. I will definitely send wedding invitations to your house when I hold a banquet in the future."
And the pressure was successfully put on the Fuguogongfu.
Mrs. Fu Guogong looked haggard and held many portraits of girls in her hands.
"This is the second wife of Duke Wen. I have seen her before. Although she is a bit squeamish, she is still decent. Her eldest sister is the one who is going to marry Xuan Shen, the eldest son of the Earl of Yongchang."
Xie Xun glanced casually: "Then let's take her."
Mrs. Fu Guogong took out another one.
"This is the daughter of Shu Yushi's house. Although he is a bit dull, he is kind and sincere."
Xie Xun continued to glance casually: "She can do it too."
Seeing that she was about to take out another portrait, Xie Xun chuckled: "Don't you want your son to marry all these people?"
Mrs. Fu Guogong slammed a stack of portraits on the desk.
“Can you serve some snacks!”
"The whole family is worried, but you are lucky enough to not panic when disaster strikes."
"This is a wife, you have to be satisfied with it. She lives with you, it's not just because I think it's okay, she can be Xie's wife."
Mrs. Fu Guo Gong tried to stay calm.
"Tomorrow the troops will enter Shengjing, and you will have to go and see the saints to discuss your merits and receive rewards. If you don't hurry up today and the officials ask about your marriage, how will you escape?"
As long as Xie Xun makes up her mind and no matter how late the time is, she has enough skills to settle the matter today.
Mrs. Fu Guogong sighed deeply, as if she had thought of something, and looked a little dazed: "Actually, in Shengjing, I like the one in the Admiral's house the most."
Xie Xun frowned.
There is an old grudge between the Fu Guogong Palace and the Admiral Palace.
"The two houses have never been in contact with each other. Even though my father has been an official for many years, he has never had any friendship with the admiral. How did that girl fall in your eyes?"
"Her parents are despicable and shameless, but the Yan family girl was raised by the old lady and has never had any bad habits."
The old lady was a powerful character when she was young, how can the upbringing of a girl be any different?
Xie Xun didn't take it seriously: "If my mother likes it, then let her do it."
The admiral feels guilty towards them and is afraid that if he mentions it, the marriage will be done.
Mrs. Fu Guogong was originally a military commander, so she punched him on the back.
"According to what I said before, you didn't listen to a word?"
"I think? I really do think so, but if I send someone to find out, Madam Yan made a promise to someone not long ago."
Xie Xun has rough skin and thick flesh, so it naturally doesn't hurt: "If it's so good, just take it away."
Mrs. Fu Guogong:
Xie Xun stopped making trouble. He stood up and sat down with Mrs. Fu Guogong.
"Don't worry, the emperor won't mention the princess tomorrow. Even if he does, my son will think of countermeasures to make the emperor worried."
