On the Wedding Night, Ms. Cui Realized - Chapter 4
With the efficiency of the Pei family, Pei Xuan learned about the situation of the owner of the small courtyard two days later, and frowned with his slender eyebrows: “Born blind?”
“That’s right, she was born blind. Not only Uncle Xining doesn’t like this daughter, Mrs. Xining even hates the eldest daughter, and regards her as a misfortune and disaster. I don’t have the treatment of a serious daughter. It’s not bad to be alive these years.”
The old servant felt emotional, and summed it up in one sentence: “This girl’s life is not good.”
Pei Xuan’s heart throbbed, and he muttered to himself: “I can’t see… No wonder, no wonder she…”
The girl sitting on the stone steps bent her knees, wearing a water-red dress, smiling, as if she could accept all the storms and injustices in the world, calm and gentle, she didn’t talk much, and her voice was nice.
Old clothes, a skeleton that is smaller than the same age, a face that doesn’t have much blood, and a shabby tile-roofed house behind him.
In fact, all her embarrassments can be traced when we first met, but Pei Xuan just ignored the worrying details.
“How can the Xiningbo couple be as knowledgeable as ordinary people, how can such a good girl be a disaster, a disaster? It’s ridiculous!”
Seeing her excited expression, the old servant added: “The day Langjun met that girl was her eighteenth birthday, and it was also the birthday of the third girl from the Xining uncle’s mansion.”
“what?”
Pei Xuan caressed his forehead lightly, incredulous: “I really didn’t know there were such parents in the world. The eldest daughter lived alone in a broken house, and the younger daughter’s birthday party was held in a splendid manner.”
She said a few words of sarcasm unceremoniously, and the old servant looked at her: “Mr. Lang, the imperial examination is coming soon, you should calm down.”
“I know it.”
She returned to the desk a few steps away, picked up a volume of books and began to review.
Seeing that she was going to study hard again, the old servant didn’t dare to disturb her, so he backed out and carefully closed the door.
The study was quiet.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Pei Xuan put down the scroll and stared at the void in a daze, and said to himself, “It’s my eighteenth birthday, and I didn’t even say a congratulatory message to her.”
She moved her wrist, played with the Langhao pen with her slender knuckles, and made up her mind after a while.
“I have to find a way to thank her.”
“Thank whom?”
Mrs. Pei looked at her ‘son’.
Pei Xuan stood by the window, looking back with a slight smile: “The eldest daughter of the Xiningbo family, she saved me. If she hadn’t laid out the straw mat in advance, I would definitely be injured if I fell.”
“Why did she spread straw mats against the wall for no reason?”
“It’s just a whim, who knows? Anyway, the child accepted her love.
Favors cannot be gained in vain, they must be returned. “
Mrs. Pei took a sip of tea and asked, “How do you want to pay it back?”
“How inappropriate am I? It will affect the reputation of the girl’s family.”
She is still the direct son of the Pei family, relying on the layers of relationships established by her parents to avoid the “verification of integrity” part of the imperial examination. Since she chooses to become an official, she can only survive as a man for the rest of her life.
Dazhao pays attention to the fact that men and women do not sit at the same age at seven years old, and has an affair with others behind his parents’ backs.
Mrs. Pei understands her concerns, and in order to teach her to take the palace examination with peace of mind, she agrees wholeheartedly.
As a show of solemnity, Mrs. Pei prepared a gift and went to Xiningbo’s mansion in person.
Pei Xuan’s biological father was the prime minister of the current dynasty, and he was an important minister of the emperor who truly held the real power. In terms of status and status, he could at least outshine ‘Xining Bo’ by eighteen streets.
‘Xiningbo’ is a hereditary title. No one in the Cui family has been an official in the court since it was passed down. There is only a good-sounding false name. He is at the bottom of Xijing’s noble ranks, especially in the past few years. I can’t even climb up to the end.
When the prime minister’s wife came to the door, it was like throwing a torch on a pile of dry wood, instantly igniting the entire mansion.
The mansion was busy receiving distinguished guests, Xiningbo and his wife were flattered and sat in the second place.
After exchanging greetings for three rounds, Mrs. Xining Bo was cautious: “I don’t know why Ma’am is here?”
Mrs. Pei said with a smile: “My son is naughty. I ran to fly a kite after the test a few days ago. The kite landed on the wall of your house. She climbed up the wall to chase the kite. Just fell into the courtyard of your mansion.”
Uncle Xining was terrified when he heard this: “Lang Jun is deeply blessed, and he is sure to be safe and sound!”
“It’s really all right.” Mrs. Pei smiled sincerely: “It’s a coincidence that someone just laid a thick and big mat by the wall to save her, and she survived.”
“Who is it?” Mrs. Xiningbo’s eyes were full of enthusiasm, eager to hear her favorite daughter from the other party.
The eldest son of the Pei family is about to turn eighteen, and once a high school marriage is definitely on the agenda, a realization flashed in her heart, as if she understood why Mrs. Pei would come to Cui’s house.
Could it be that he fell in love with her daughter and wanted to marry her son-in-law?
Mrs. Pei heard the old servant mention the harsh treatment of the eldest daughter by the Xiningbo couple, and she probably didn’t like the behavior of the couple, so she deliberately didn’t mention the girl who lived in the dilapidated house in the south courtyard in advance.
“It’s the daughter of the family.”
On the day when Pei Xuan fell from the wall, the mansion was celebrating Cui Dai’s birthday, but no one with a good brain would think that it was Cui Dai who saved someone.
“I want to meet that girl and thank my family Xuan’er face to face.”
“Ma’am, wait a moment.”
Mrs. Xining Bo turned around and hurriedly ordered her servants to look for Miss San.
Cui Dai was lazily feeding the fish by the pond, and was fooled by her mother’s cronies, mistakenly thinking that the prime minister’s wife wanted her to be the future daughter-in-law of the Pei family, needless to say she was ecstatic.
After returning to her room, she dressed up meticulously, and her cronies waited anxiously before seeing her come out with a flushed face.
“Let’s go quickly, you can’t tell the distinguished guests to wait for a long time.”
In the main hall, Mrs. Pei was sipping tea slowly, and Miss Cui San came late after drinking the second cup of tea.
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was wearing the most exquisite dress, with rubies on his earlobes, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as jeweled.
It is very dazzling.
Mrs. Pei didn’t like women dressed up in fancy dresses, so she sat on her seat and smiled: “You saved my Xuan’er with a straw mat?”
Cui Dai looked puzzled, looked at her mother, then at her father who was more excited than her, immediately nodded and shook her head.
She could not understand the lady’s question at all.
What straw mat, how could she have such a broken thing?
“Dai’er, talk, Madam is asking you something.”
Madam Xining was so anxious that she wished she could answer for her daughter, this is an opportunity to fly up a branch and become a phoenix!
“me…”
Mrs. Pei was surprised: “Could it be that I made a mistake? Isn’t it this one?”
“Why not, ma’am, please ask more questions?” Uncle Xining urged his daughter: “Dai’er, think again, on your birthday, you saved the chancellor’s son-in-law, and you used straw mats—eh? Straw mats ?”
The rest of the words stuck in their throats, and the expressions of the three members of the family were exactly the same stunned and angry.
Not Cui Dai, could it be Cui Ti?
Is it the blind man who lost his door star? !
“Girl, girl, someone is coming from the front yard, calling you over!”
“Call me?”
Cui Ti fell asleep on the table, and raised her head in a daze after being woken up, with a red mark on the left side of her cheek.
Seeing this, Bai Ge hurriedly fetched a basin of water: “Miss, wash up quickly. I heard that the guest is a distinguished guest. I called the people from the North Court earlier. Miss, you must not lose to the people from the North Court!”
“Distinguished guest?”
The hazy consciousness quickly regained consciousness.
The people outside were rushing, basically watching the dishes, she washed her face hastily, barely combed her hair, and was pushed and shoved by a group of women to the front yard.
Bai Ge is annoyed that these people have no rules, and dare not speak out.
In case a nobleman takes a fancy to the girl, she is afraid of embarrassing the girl if there is a disturbance.
Eighteen girls, it’s time to talk about kissing.
“Go back to Ma’am, people are coming.”
Today, Cui Ti changed her favorite water-red dress, her body is plain and clean, her hair is tied with a wooden hairpin, and she is blindfolded with white gauze.
The charm is elegant and quiet, which makes people feel pity when they meet each other.
Mrs. Pei’s eyes were soft, and after a closer look, she saw that the girl’s cuffs were unstuck.
She saw it, and Mrs. Xiningbo naturally saw it too, secretly hated the careless women who brought them here in a hurry without dressing up.
All the female relatives present had different thoughts, but Uncle Xining didn’t realize that his eldest daughter was dressed poorly. He seemed to be used to the humble and small Cui Ti, but he was not used to Cui Ti walking in the sun. He taught more people to know Xining. Uncle had a blind eldest daughter.
“Come and meet the guest, this is the wife of the prime minister’s family.”
Cui Ti lost her mind.
The wife of the prime minister’s family is… Pei Xuan’s mother, her mother-in-law in her previous life?
“I’ve seen Mrs.”
She greeted softly.
“Get up.”
Mrs. Pei helped her up, looked at the woman in front of her quietly, her attitude was more than a little bit better than when she was facing Cui Dai.
She asked: “You saved my family’s Xuan’er? Oh, my family’s Xuan’er is the gentleman who fell down from the wall stupidly.”
Two steps away, the white dove cocked its ears, bewildered—that stupid goose? He is the son of Xiang Ye? !
The ups and downs of the big dream, once again hearing her tenderly and interestingly burying her own son, Cui Ti’s eyebrows slightly curved: “It happened by chance, I dare not take credit for it.”
“Work is work.”
She took Cui Ti’s hand and gossiped.
The three members of Xiningbo’s family were put aside, Cui Dai dared not speak out, hating the blind man for robbing her of the way to climb high branches.
The mother-in-law in the previous life fills Cui Ti’s inner desire and fantasy for the role of mother. She is tolerant to her, does not dislike her blindness, and will take her to the garden to listen to an opera when she is depressed. on my side.
When people get along with each other, they pay attention to eye relationship, Cui Ti is neither flattering nor ingratiating, so she met Mrs. Pei’s eyes, before she left, she praised in front of Uncle Xining: “The Cui family has such a good girl, why worry about marrying her?”
Uncle Xining didn’t react, his wife hurriedly said: “You are right, Tier and Daier are both good.”
Mrs. Pei was annoyed that she was outrageously biased, and even more annoyed that she wanted to use her power to promote her young daughter, so she simply didn’t treat her politely, and ordered the maid to send the thank you gift to the broken tile house in the south courtyard. Retired.
The prime minister’s wife pointed out that the ceremony was for Cui Ti, and no one else could touch it.
Cui Dai made a fuss and wanted to **** the things back to her north courtyard, but was severely reprimanded by Mrs. Xiningbo.
In the south courtyard, the dilapidated courtyard, white pigeons are in full swing to carry boxes into the house, full boxes of thank you gifts, food, clothing, and useful things.
“Girl, I didn’t expect that stupid goose to have such a big history. I even made fun of him that day. Do you think he will hold grudges?”
“Won’t.”
Bai Ge was still worried: “For the sake of him being the prime minister’s son, then next time I see him, I won’t make fun of him. I’ll hold him up?”
Cui Ti was in a daze again.
“Girl, did you listen to me?”
“Huh?” Cui Ti came back to her senses: “You don’t need to support him. You are the only one who supports him. He is different from other honorable children. He has no airs. Have you ever seen the spring wind crush the reeds?”
The spring breeze will not crush the reeds, and Pei Xuan will never bully those who are weaker than him. He is upright, restrained and approachable.
“Strange.” The more Bai Ge listened, the more confused he became: “Girl, it sounds like you’ve known him for a long time, didn’t you just meet?”
Cui Ti hummed, and stroked the soft new quilt with her fingertips.
This is from Mrs. Pei.
Mrs. Pei’s status would not rashly give someone a quilt, so it was given by Pei Xuan.
To return the straw mat she had soiled.
From the moment he fell down safely, many things began to change.
In the previous life, Mrs. Pei didn’t come to give gifts, and Pei Xuan didn’t obliquely pay her for the straw mat. Cui Ti hugged the soft and warm quilt, all she could think about was—
Looking forward to his high school, looking forward to his high school.
No more regrets. !
