Yanglinghou Mansion.
Qiao Si helped Cui Xuan out of the main courtyard. The atmosphere between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was just right. There was never a single blushing incident.
After passing the rockery, there was a garden ahead. Cui Xuan asked softly: "The day after tomorrow is my father-in-law's birthday. He only has a daughter like you. Have you thought about how to celebrate it for him?"
Don't blame her for asking.
In fact, Father Qiao always doesn't do anything for birthdays every year.
The Qiao family is just an ordinary family. According to Daqi's custom, before their sixtieth birthday, ordinary people just gather together as a family to have a meal.
The same goes for Father Qiao, who later took his granddaughter to burn incense in front of his wife's grave.
There are not many relatives in the Cui family. Father Qiao has never made any publicity about his daughter marrying into a noble mansion. Before Qiao Si got married, Father Qiao never asked for anything. He even spent the money he had saved all his life and never wanted to touch.
It was given to Qiao Si as a dowry.
He said.
——I don’t blame the in-laws for the joke. Although the Qiao family is poor, I love my grandmother in the palm of my hand. I am afraid that she will suffer hardship, but I am also afraid that she will not be able to endure hardship.
——I am a rough person and do not understand the teachings of saints. I will tell you the truth. Before her death, Ah Si’s mother-in-law asked her to find a family of similar family status for her daughter. She said that girls should not marry high, if the husband is tired of it.
Her husband's family is despised, and the Qiao family has made a living by hunting for generations. How can they have the extraordinary ability to make decisions for her? Marrying at a low age is even more undesirable. The girl in her family also feels sorry for her. How can she marry someone else's wife and live a harder life than in her parents' family?
Accompany you through hardships.
——Her mother-in-law was willing to close her eyes only after I repeatedly assured her that my uncle was of good family background, well-educated, and a good military commander. The Qiao family should not have gone for it. But I know that my uncle is an upright person.
If he wants to marry me, he will be a good candidate for his son-in-law, and A-si is also willing to do so. I am extremely anxious and hesitant about this marriage, but I really can’t bear to separate the two of them. I can only ask my in-laws to treat her with utmost leniency.
When talking about Qiao's father, Qiao Si couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle.
"Still as usual. When Sister Rong comes back, I will take her there with me."
Cui Xuan was not surprised when he heard this.
She is still dressed as usual, simple yet elegant.
"That's how it should be."
"Speaking of Sister Rong, the little bully, she is really noisy when she is here. I haven't seen her in the past few days, but I feel panicked."
Qiao Si said warmly: "I'm afraid I'll give my mother-in-law another headache when I come back this time."
Cui Xuanshi's eyes flashed with love: "I am such a sweetheart. Even if she breaks the sky, I have to find a way to make up for it."
As he said this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Counting the days, I should have come back last night, but I don't know why. There has been no movement yet."
Just as she was saying this, she heard the woman from the concierge running over with a happy smile.
"Mother, eldest mistress, come, come, our Lord Marquis is back."
"Let's go take a look and welcome my sweet granddaughter."
The long motorcade entered Shengjing City before they dispersed and returned home.
At that time, Ji Qing was riding a horse. Soon, a carriage caught up with him. Even if Qing was fast, the other side was also fast. Even if Qing was slow, the other side was also slow.
Ji Qing couldn't help but keep a cautious eye on it, but when he saw that the carriage was of a regular structure, it was just the most common thing to see everywhere on the street.
"Master——"
He had just stood up and was about to report when he saw the person in the carriage over there had slightly opened a corner of the curtain, revealing only a small part of his chin.
"Cui Hou."
It was Ji Li who changed his carriage as soon as he entered Shengjing.
Cui Yun recognized his voice.
The man lowered his eyes and continued to peel the walnuts with his hands: "Third Young Master, what advice do you have?"
There was a smile on the other side, but he wasn't pretending at all.
"There's no point in giving you advice. I just came here to say goodbye to you."
Cui Yun's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but his expression was calm: "Third Young Master is interested."
"That's how it should be. You and I will have a lot of dealings to do in the future, so etiquette is indispensable."
Ji Li said again: "I heard that your grandfather loved playing chess the most. I just got a unique chess book. I don't know.
Maybe it will please the old man? Are you willing to help pass it on, as it will be considered as a courtesy to me as a junior? If not, I will be happy to visit you later. "
Cui Yun's face darkened.
Fortunately, Ji Qi gave me the chess book, so I didn't get too entangled.
Cui Yun looked through it and found nothing. Mr. Cui would indeed like it.
But... what is Ji Li's purpose?
Cui Yun didn't believe it, he wanted to recruit him into his army.
The carriage quickly and smoothly stopped in front of the Yanglinghou Mansion.
Cui Yun then looked at Shen Hua, who was sleeping soundly. He put the walnuts he had peeled all the way into a delicate little bag and wrapped them around the girl's waist.
The sight is inevitably soft and refreshing.
When she was sleeping, she was neither noisy nor fussy, but rather peaceful.
"Shen Hua, wake up."
"Um, are we here yet?"
Shen Hua narrowed her eyes and asked sleepily.
"Um."
Shen Hua calmed down for a moment and sobered up a lot. She looked at Cui Yun arrogantly: "Then why don't you help me up?"
"If you do this, don't blame me for being dissatisfied when you look back."
Cui Yun:……
As soon as Cui Xuan left the house, she waited for Cui Rong to poke out her twitching little head. She saw a hand with sharp bones turning the car curtain, and Cui Yun walked down slowly. Soon it was Shen Hua.
Qiao Si looked Shen Hua up and down. The girl was wearing a vine-green long skirt with a white collar and a white collar. The closer she got to Shengjing when she went down the mountain, the warmer the weather became, so she wore a soft brocade cloak. .In this dress, the hibiscus noodles are as fragrant as jade.
Standing next to Cui Yun, he looked even more eye-catching. He looked like... a Biren who had just returned from Ning.
Qiao Si couldn't help but smile: "Your complexion is getting better and better, which shows that my second uncle has taken good care of you these days."
Shen Hua stepped forward to say hello and called someone.
Cui Yun also said respectfully: "A'niang, A'sao."
"Where's Sister Rong?"
Shen Hua raised his hand: "Where's the back?"
Looking in the direction of her finger, he saw the carriage of Duke Fu Guo coming towards this place from a distance.
Xie Xun sent Xie Yining back first and then came here, so he was one step behind Cui Yun.
When the carriage stopped, Cui Rong ran over, striding hard on his short legs, and shouted loudly: "Grandma, Aniang!"
She ran closer and rubbed her furry head against Qiao Si's body.
"I miss you so much."
"I think I can't eat enough, so I'm getting thinner day by day."
Xie Xun:……
think?
Did not see it.
No need for food?
Along the way, this little milk bun was the most delicious. It also tortured him a lot.
Putting aside his prejudice against a certain person for the time being, Xie Xun was very grateful to the rest of the Cui family, and he saluted Cui Xuan.
When Cui Xuan saw the Qianqian son, he looked politely at Cui Rong and said, "Why don't you ride in your own carriage to cause trouble for Prince Xie?"
As he said this, he said to Xie Xun: "Good boy, don't worry about how I might wrong you along the way. Come to the house quickly and have a cup of tea."
Xie Xun naturally agreed, but he still had to go see Ni Kang.
Here, Qiao Si bent down and picked the person up with great effort.
"Skinny? But grandma can hardly hold her anymore."
Cui Rong:???
Shen Hua was amused while watching the show: "Ha."
