Chapter 469 I have to be buried, but I still don’t listen to advice
Author: Wen Qing
The two stone lions standing outside the gate of Yanglinghou Mansion have witnessed the decline and prosperity of the Cui family with their own eyes, but they still stand solemnly and solemnly as always.
"Why do you still remember to come here to pay your respects to me? Is this specifically to thank the Cui family for their kindness in raising you over the years?" Mrs. Cui's hand stopped fiddling with the beads.
"I heard that the government intends to give you a palace, and the Ministry of Industry has made plans to start construction. See you again this time. I should call you Prince."
She still looked kind and kind, but everything she said was thorny.
Cui Yun's face turned pale, and his expression was respectful and reserved. Although he did not come back, he knew that Mrs. Cui fell ill after hearing the news.
Mrs. Cui Xuan raised her eyebrows and whispered: "Mother-in-law."
"Ayu, do you still feel sorry for him?"
"I am old, but I am not old and feeble."
Mrs. Cui looked at Cui Yun intently: "In the past, I said you were smart and never went out on business. You were always able to solve problems easily, but this time you got into a dead end and had to ask the elders to invite you in person, so you were willing to come back to see me.
How come I, an old woman, can still say that?"
She knew that the outside world was talking endlessly.
There were also many noble ladies who visited me and said polite and beautiful words, but they just revealed a message silently.
——Your Cui family is the last of its kind.
She was so angry that she fainted.
But who can you blame for this kind of thing?
If you think about it carefully, no one is right.
No one could predict that the Huai'an Prince's Palace would be able to turn the tables. The matter that Mr. Cui had hidden for many years could not be suppressed.
She said in a sad tone: "I remember that you were high-spirited, humble and arrogant when you were young. I also remember that after the Cui family incident, you seemed to be a different person. You only followed the rules because you were afraid of being caught doing something wrong. You served me meticulously on the sickbed.
, you are attentive and considerate to your mother-in-law, not to mention Sister Rong, who you brought up. If you hadn't kept a low profile and bided your time, your grandfather would have collapsed long ago, and the entire Cui family would have collapsed."
She stood up slowly and tapped the ground with her cane: "Blood relatives are important, but for the past nineteen years, your surname has been Cui! Why, are you not going to admit it? If it is like this one day, it will be like this every year in the future. I think
Who would dare to gossip in front of me?"
Cui Yun didn't know what to feel for a while, until she heard Mrs. Cui's words.
"Last night, the officials came."
Ji Li was not wearing a dragon robe, just the most ordinary casual clothes.
Cui Rong's eyes were red and she glared at him unwelcomely: "Are you robbing my second uncle?"
"Sister Feng, don't be rude!"
"snort!"
"No problem."
Ji Li knelt down to the elders of the Cui family: "With this added identity, he will always be a descendant of the Cui family."
"The officials are invited to stand up. How can we do this?" Mr. Cui hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Ji Li didn't have any airs, he just smiled and said: "Old Master, this junior should kowtow to express gratitude."
Mrs. Cui looked at Cui Yun and said, her expression softened: "The Cui family is not well-off and cannot keep the child, but God is kind and brought you here."
————
Ji Li was in charge personally.
Those students who were banned were called into the palace, and the Taifu and the Hanlin Academy jointly set examination questions to select talented people to fill the vacancies.
This move was bold but no one refuted it.
During these days, Cui Yun couldn't find time to pick up Shen Hua even if he wanted to. Not to mention him, Xie Xun was too busy to touch the ground. He could only delay again and again.
Different from their busyness, Shen Hua is also busy.
She no longer went to teach, and she always spent half a day embroidering with the door closed in the morning, mysteriously. The weather became cooler, and after lunch, Shen Hua also had the idea of ​​going out. Firstly, she was afraid of hurting her eyes, and secondly, she went to various shops to patronize , I would go to Late Spring Garden to listen to a play from time to time, and I had no intention of returning to Shengjing.
"Zhou Zhizhi gave birth to a daughter last night."
Zheng Qianyu sent a message: "Her mother-in-law lost her temper. She scolded her for being worthless. She drank the fertility remedies she got from outside every day, but she gave birth to a loser."
Shen Hua narrowed her eyes: "A folk remedy for giving birth?"
"Bullshit folk remedies, I've already asked about them. They're just incense ashes burned in the Taoist temple. What's the use of this kind? It's extremely ignorant. It's better to do more good deeds and be more sincere. Even the Taoist priests in the Taoist school won't advise you. You won't be afraid of getting into trouble. , it’s a lot of nonsense.”
"Nowadays, the He family's life is becoming more and more difficult. I heard that the money for the midwife was paid by Mrs. Zhou who came later. You have seen Mrs. Zhou too. She is as white as Zhou Zhizhi's mother and daughter. Naturally, He can't be scolded. Madam, there was a big fuss. If Mother He hadn't cared about Zhou Zhizhi's parents, she might have had the intention of taking her granddaughter away and giving her away."
The girl sneered: "It's quite willing."
This kind of thing is actually quite common.
It is clear that as long as He Chu lowers his "arrogance" a little and spends some time copying books every day, his status as a scholar can support a large family.
"When I came over, I saw Mother He waiting at your porridge stall. She was so shameless and wanted to scrape some off of you."
Shen Hua didn't care about this.
"I'm too lazy to argue with these people anymore."
Zheng Qianyu was surprised: "Hey, this is not like Mrs. Shen's past style."
Shen Hua put one hand on the table, her index finger bent, and clasping it in a stylish manner.
"Mrs. Mi San, you should be more mature. To others, you are just helping others, but to the He family, it is nothing more than charity."
Zheng Qianyu:......
Just...not very convinced.
She looked at Shen Hua suspiciously, not wanting to put gold on his face.
Under her scrutiny, Shen Hua was reserved and dignified.
Until Wang Xu came over an hour later.
"Do you know what a show I've gotten into? I saw an old woman howling on the ground on the road, so I didn't take a second look."
Wang Xu looked at Shen Hua excitedly: "How big of a blood feud does that person have with his adoptive mother? It's just a bowl of porridge. Your Ningzhu asked her to go wherever she came from. Just throw it on the ground to feed the dogs, that's it. I won’t give her half a grain of rice.”
"Later I saw that the old woman was shamelessly refusing to leave, so she said something."
Zheng Qianyu: "What are you talking about?"
Wang Xu imitated the tone: "Our lady has said that it's better to ask for something without reaching out. If your family really doesn't have enough food and clothing, you can come to the embroidery workshop to find a job. It happens that we are short of a chamber pot pourer. I have the same smell, so you are quite suitable. "
After speaking, he asked: "How did she offend you?"
Zheng Qianyu can't say enough.
"Mature?"
Exposed Yangyang:......
"No?"
She raised her chin: "I don't want to cause trouble for the He family. It's already noble of me. She should be enjoying herself secretly. If she dares to jump under my nose, she's not asking for trouble."
"Besides, did I make a mistake?"
"Let her earn her own money with her own hands and not take advantage of others. This is teaching her how to be a good person!"
Shen Hua: "Did she agree?"
Wang Xu: "I got up and scolded you for being shameless, and then ran away."
Shen Hua felt very sorry.
