(Snowball Chapter)
On the day of the flower-viewing banquet at the Admiral's Mansion, the carriage with the wooden plaque of the Yangling Marquis Mansion engraved on it was driving slowly on the road.
"Why did you bring it with you?" Cui Xuan looked at the shrinking snow ball in the corner.
"Take it outside for some fresh air."
So as not to make him look bad in the study all the time.
Cui Xuan smiled and stopped asking.
These past few days, her energy was not very good.
The Admiral's Mansion is very grand. The carriages parked at the door almost blocked the road. There were only a lot of ladies coming over for the banquet.
The carriage could only stop and wait for the road ahead to clear before moving again.
Cui Xuan lifted the car curtain, glanced at it casually, and then put it down.
"Every time the Admiral's Mansion holds a banquet, there are always a lot of people coming."
If it hadn't been for three notices from the Admiral's Mansion this time, she wouldn't have been interested in coming.
Except for the inevitable social interactions, Cui Xuanshi did not want to deal with these people who mostly talked about people and ghosts.
Thinking about the character of the Admiral's wife again, she couldn't help but shake her head.
"Sister Pian'ai has been ill these past few days, so your aunt has to take care of her at home."
Cui Yun said warmly: "If my aunt is not here, my son is not here. I have someone to talk to."
This is very fitting.
Which of her two sons is unfilial?
Cui Yun is not as stable as his brother, but in terms of thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness, Cui Bo is far inferior to him.
Last time, my mother-in-law was in pain, and Cui Yun took care of her at the bedside without resorting to anyone else's care.
When you cook the medicine by hand, the amount of water you put in it, how long it takes to cook it, and the time when you give the medicine are all very precise.
Thinking of Cui Bai, she closed her eyes deeply.
"There are quite a few young masters of your age who get engaged early."
"When your brother was your age, he was busy practicing martial arts in addition to his homework. He also had to take care of you who caused trouble for him when you were young."
Cui Yun:……
Cui Yun chuckled: "I delayed my brother."
But even so, I wouldn't give him the snowball.
After Cui Bai's incident, Cui Xuan finally saw through it.
Marriage is a lifelong matter. If the elders forcefully intervene, most of them will be unhappy. She is an example.
She had tasted it herself and it was very bitter, so how could she want Cui Bo and Cui Yun to follow her old path?
She didn't want to embarrass her eldest son, so she certainly wouldn't embarrass her younger son.
"You haven't reached the top yet, and I don't want to rush you. Just make sure you know what's going on. Don't wait until you are twenty or thirty years old and you still haven't figured it out."
Snowball pricked up his ears.
She can understand Cui Xuanshi's worries.
After all, Cui Yun didn't even like Yan Mi in the end!!!
I'm afraid only the gods in this world can catch his eye.
Xuetuan looked at Cui Yun faintly.
Most of Cui Yun's peripheral vision fell on her, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but look over attentively. He met her round eyes.
He just thought she was hungry and immediately took the goat's milk he had prepared with a lazy flick of his fingertips.
"come over."
"Meow!"
No!
Cui Yun's eyebrows have the aristocratic look of a young master from an aristocratic family, but he also has the unruly look expected of someone of this age.
When he saw Snow Tuan rebelling again, he didn't force it.
For a cat to behave like this shows how hard it is to raise a child.
The carriage finally stopped in front of the Admiral's Mansion.
Just as Cui Yun was about to hug the snow dumpling, she jumped up and down and grabbed Cui Xuan's clothes. She spread her short legs and made a hugging gesture.
Cui Xuanshi's eyebrows were filled with tenderness as she hugged it into her arms.
"The cat you raise, not to mention your brother, even my mother-in-law finds it lovable."
Cui Yun sneered.
"Pleasing?"
"I think it's very rebellious."
The banquet was held in the back garden, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music, and the music and flowing water were uniquely elegant. It was obvious that the host had put a lot of effort into it.
As soon as he entered, many ladies gathered around him and spoke eloquently about anything.
"I haven't seen you for a while, madam, but now that I have seen you, you still look radiant."
This is a lie. Something happened at home, and Mrs. Cui Xuan was obviously very haggard.
When women gather together, they are just comparing themselves to each other.
"Why didn't the eldest son come today? He is one of the best young men in Shengjing. I also wanted my brother Ke to take the opportunity to come and ask for advice."
Asking questions is fake, but wanting to see Cui Bai’s jokes is real. Who doesn’t want to step on me?
Cui Xuanshi just smiled and said nothing.
These people kept their calculations deep in their hearts, and in the end they even praised the cat in Cui Xuanshi's arms.
"Madam's cat is very well-raised."
Although he was speaking, his eyes fell towards Cui Yun calmly.
The Xie family of Fu Guogong Palace will never come to the Yan family's banquet, so Yangling Marquis Palace will naturally become a fragrant bun.
However, what happened to Cui Bai made everyone shocked, and it was inevitable that they would laugh at him. But because of this, they wanted to get involved more and more.
Cui Xuan didn't want to hear what they said, so she found an excuse to sit down at the table.
The people who flattered her before her suddenly changed their minds after she left.
"I don't know why she is so arrogant all day long. All men are working in front of the emperor, so they can be regarded as colleagues, but she is the most aloof."
Before you get married, you will attract hatred.
After marrying someone, you also attract hatred.
"Okay, I am from Yanglinghou Mansion. Naturally, I am different from you and me."
"So what? Does Marquis Yangling care about her at all? She has a good background and is well married, but she cannot win over people's hearts. Otherwise, why would Marquis Yangling still miss her old friend after all these years?"
A lady in blue chuckled.
"It is said that Mr. Cui is outstanding. It is also interesting that the Queen Mother dared to refuse the marriage offered by the Queen Mother. Relying on the favor of the Lord, we are not afraid that the entire Yangling Marquis Mansion will be implicated."
Let’s not talk about Princess You Ning, but after all, this is a grace given by the Queen Mother. Cui Bai is really a bit tender, otherwise how could he be so bold?
"My first wife Cui Wu is indeed a rare beauty. It's no wonder that Marquis Yangling can't forget her. She, in the final analysis, can't compare to you and me. It's quite pitiful to think about her."
For a while, everything was possible.
These words were heard by Ji Cong, who had been squatting on the ground playing with mud for a long time and ignored by everyone for even longer.
He is stupid but has a good memory.
He remembered that his mother-in-law once told her brother Ji that the Marquis of Yangling was gaining favor, and it would be great if you could make good friends with the Cui family. Don't let the Prince of the East Palace take the lead.
Ji Cong thought tangledly for a while.
"Cui Yun!"
He suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.
Cui Yun looked over with a warm voice and stood up: "Second Prince."
"Why are you still sitting there? Your mother has been scolded and is worse than dead."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over and the women who were gossiping suddenly turned pale.
"without……"
A few people lacked confidence.
Ji Cong: "I said you have it, so you have it!"
"You are such a grown-up person, and you don't have to be ashamed to say anything you say."
As he said that, he raised his finger enthusiastically and said to Cui Yun: "Really, what they said is really embarrassing."
As he spoke, he recounted everything he had heard just now, word for word.
He didn't care whether he would ruin the banquet at the Admiral's Mansion, let alone think about the confusion and fear in the hearts of these ladies.
Seeing everyone in shock, he was still very proud.
He likes this eye-catching look.
Even while feeling complacent, he still did not forget his original intention.
"Hey, I've told you, you have to keep your distance from the prince, do you understand?"
