The Possession of My Beloved (Hidden Charm) - Chapter 114

    Gai Shi did not expect that this delicate looking woman with a smile on her face was so choked up when she spoke! Immediately, he said angrily, “You really didn’t make trouble at the palace! Otherwise, what’s the difference between a run-down family of a city guard? My son’s household is lacking, why was the person recommended by King Huaiyang overwhelmed? Zishan’s jealousy has ruined her husband’s future, which government would dare to want her?”

      How dare you open your mouth! There are so many bad things in your house, and our Huaiyang Palace does not say a word. Why is the king so loyal to Long Live, and he has to be scolded by your Qing Kingdom for recommending talents? Li Guangcai has learned from others. It is well known in the whole dynasty, but it was only when he wanted to retire that he went into seclusion in the wild. Now he has been inspired by the new emperor, and he wants to go to Beijing to do his best for the country, which is a good thing to be praised. As for where he goes to become an official, long live Sacred Heart is thinking, is it because my brother-in-law has an in-law relationship with the prince, that he must be better than Mr. Li Guangcai? Are you dissatisfied with the decree of Wanzai, and you want to change Wanzai’s appointment?”

    As soon as she said these words, sweat broke out on Guo Yi’s forehead. He didn’t approve of his mother coming to talk to this princess at first, but now it’s better, being dug all the way by this princess of Huaiyang Lead the way and fall into the deep pit of disobedience to the Holy Judgment.

    Although today’s Long Live is under the jurisdiction of the Empress Dowager, but after all, it is the Long Live of the Ninety-five Supreme, if the mother’s disrespectful words were passed into the ears of His Majesty, what should I do?

    Thinking of this, Guo Yi hurriedly said: “Where did the princess come from? It’s just that my mother thought that Cui Fu would not go home because she was angry. Since it is a family matter, don’t go to state affairs. Quote above. If she likes to stay at her brother’s house, she will stay longer.”

     Mrs. Qing Guo’s wife was blocked by Liu Miantang’s words, so she felt more and more depressed, and when Guo Yi said this, she hummed angrily: “Since she doesn’t want to come back, she wants to come back in the future. , but it will be difficult.”

    The smile on Liu Miantang’s face disappeared at this moment: “I’ve heard for a long time that the wife of the Duke of Qing is very strict, it’s really better to see it once you hear it. What will happen in the future? It’s not up to your family to decide. Your Guo family is the founder of an aristocratic family, but our Cui family is not a commoner. The man in the house also fought for the sake of Dayan Sheji. The girl who married was wronged, There is no reason for the Cui family to sit back and watch in vain. It seems that no one from your house understands it today, and I will talk to our lord in detail when you get a clearer one.”

    Without waiting for Gai Shi to slap her face, Liu Miantang waved her long sleeves and walked away without looking back with her maid.

    At this time, this small conflict was also spread by word of mouth during the banquet and quietly spread.

    Although Qingguo Gongfu seems to have more foundations than Huaiyang Wangfu, it is not comparable to those rich and noble princes in the capital circle.

    The Guo family despised the Cui family for being rude, but the behavior of his family was really out of the ordinary.

    Especially the matter of taking a concubine without saying hello to the daughter-in-law really violated the taboo of the officials of the prefectures, so they didn’t think there was anything wrong with the Cui family doing this. To be able to bring home a pregnant daughter-in-law, the wife of the Duke of Qing is really not a good person!

    Mian Tang said goodbye to Mrs. Jing’an Hou and went home.

     Mrs. Jing’an Hou knew that she had twins, so she didn’t keep her much, but ordered two extra jars of new tea from the southern Yunnan tea garden to Miantang and said: “There are two twins in your house now. I can’t drink other strong teas either, these two jars of specially made green tea will not be too strong, and it’s perfect to drink with black wolfberry in water.”

    Miantang saw the ooze seal on the tea pot, and the tea leaves from this southern Yunnan tea house were not cheap, so he smiled and said, “Mrs. Hou has a heart.”

     Mrs. Jing’an Hou smiled slightly and said: “I have a distant nephew who is coming to Beijing in the next few days, and he asked the tea garden in southern Yunnan to ask the merchant ship from the north to bring it, and put it in temporarily. In my house, I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.”

    Mian Tang raised her eyebrows: “Who is your distant nephew?”

     Mrs. Jing’an Hou smiled slightly: “You should have heard his name, Li Guangcai, the new right servant of the Ministry of Household.”

    This Master Li was Miantang’s original witness, of course she knew it, but this Master Li seemed to be very frugal. Only rent donkeys in the inn to ride.

    Now that others have not yet arrived in the capital, how can they first learn the atmosphere of giving gifts and dredging in the capital, and make such a generous move!

    When Miantang returned to the mansion, he told Cui Xingzhou about Li Guangcai’s entrustment of tea. Cui Xingzhou took the tea can and looked at it, and said, “Brother Guangcai gave up his blood this time… My sister loves to drink this tea, you can keep some, and send the rest to her.”

    Miantang was dismantling her hairpin. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. She felt that there seemed to be something in what she said, so she turned her face and asked: “Li Guangcai knew that my sister likes to drink, so she brought it?”

    Cui Xingzhou didn’t say anything, he just lay half lazily on the soft slump, flipping through the scroll and said casually: “Maybe it’s a coincidence…”

    Mian Tang didn’t believe this, but she didn’t ask. Cui Fu is a married woman now, and still has one in her stomach. The thought that flashed in her mind just now was too unbelievable to ask, so she stopped talking about it.

    This time, the Cui family and the Guo family had a face-off. If Miantang made up his own mind, he wouldn’t be so decisive. But Cui Xingzhou meant this, as if he intended not to show mercy to the Guo family, let alone leave a way out for his sister’s marriage.

    In the afternoon of the second day, when the maids were leading Jin’er to catch butterflies in the garden, Miantang told Cui Fu the language of the mother and son of Guo’s mother and son at the Marquis of Jing’an yesterday.

    Cuifu seems to be doing well for the two days. In her brother’s mansion, she had enough confidence to speak, and she didn’t have to constantly pay attention to whether her words offended Gai Shi, and she didn’t have to watch her husband go around a little girl, not to mention how happy she was.

     After listening to Miantang’s words, she sighed and said: “If I don’t listen to you, I will forget how worried my mother-in-law is. I used to be far away from you, and I was bullied by her. There was no place to avoid it, so I kept on enduring it, forgetting how tough I used to speak when I was in my parents’ house. If it was just my mother-in-law who was stubborn, I wouldn’t be able to, and I wouldn’t live for a thousand years. But now, Guo Yi has killed all my hopes… When the child in my womb is born, I will let Xingzhou take care of me and leave with the Guo family.”

    Miantang was stunned for a moment, but she didn’t expect Cui Fu to communicate so quickly, so she only asked carefully, “Isn’t my sister a prank?”

    Cui Fu smiled slightly: “Yesterday you went out as a guest, and Xingzhou came back early, and talked with me a little. The Guo family was able to enter Beijing, in fact, it was the way of the empress dowager, and so did his ancestors. He had a life-long relationship with the palace family of the Empress Dowager. Just marrying me, it seems that the position of the Duke of Qing is unclear, and it seems that he wants to have both sides… So, this is also the main reason why Guo Yi’s promotion cannot be immediate. Why did the mother-in-law carry the concubine? Do you really think it is for the sake of spreading the branches? This is the Qing Guo Gongfu’s position to the Empress Dowager. Although his family is married to the elder sister of the King of Huaiyang, his heart is on the Empress Dowager. On this side, as for the Cui family’s married daughter, it doesn’t matter!”

    Mian Tang frowned and seemed to understand a little, then said: “Then sister, you…”

    After Cui Fu had a talk with her brother, the sentimentality in her eyes seemed to dissipate a lot, and she said calmly: “If there is no mother’s family, any husband and wife are deeply in love, it’s all bullshit! It’s a woman’s family, but I also understand that the secret battle between Xingzhou and King Sui is like water and fire. If I can’t go all out, I can’t say that the disaster of Zhenzhou being breached by the mansion gate will be repeated. Since his Guo family is eager to stand in line, why should I? Do you want to hold back the prosperity and wealth of the Qing Kingdom’s mansion?”

    After saying this, Cui Fu saw that Miantang was silent, and asked, “Why don’t you speak?”

    Liu Miantang stretched out her hand to take the grapes, peeled the skins and said, “I can’t compare to those of you princes who grew up in the deep houses, I didn’t even think of this floor…”

    Cui Fu smiled bitterly: “If the boat hadn’t been analyzed carefully, I wouldn’t have thought of it, let alone you! Others envy us princely children, but how do they know that there is always a change in the direction of the wind in the courtroom. , the husband and wife who were originally immortals will lose all their love in an instant, and the whole family will fall apart…”

    That afternoon, Miantang and auntie separated, and returned to her dormitory somewhat depressed, lying on the bed in a daze.

    Cui Xingzhou felt a little strange when she saw that she didn’t talk to him when she entered the room. When she saw her lying motionless on the bed and ignoring others, he also lay beside her, close to her ear Ask: “What’s wrong?”

    Miantang was silent for a while, then went straight: “It’s nothing… I just found out that, in fact, whether Guo Yi takes a concubine or not, you actually planned early in the morning to let your sister and Guo Yi reconcile, right?”

    Cui Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, “Why do you say that?”

    Liu Miantang slowly turned her head, looked at Cui Xingzhou’s calm eyes and said, “Because the government of Qingguo government differs from yours, so your sister should also express her position in time, and follow the Qingguo government’s government. Drawing a clear line will also save you from a difficult situation at that time. You even…even your sister’s future marriage has been well planned…”

    Cui Xingzhou did not deny it, but said lightly: “Is there anything wrong with this?”

    Miantang was at a loss for words.

    Cui Xingzhou looked down at her face, her long curved eyelashes cast shadows on both sides of her tall nose, hiding the cold light in her eyes like a star, she only asked softly: “In that case, you Why do you look like you’re mad at me?”

    Liu Miantang opened her mouth, but couldn’t say anything.

    Because Cui Fu is indeed unhappy in her marriage, if she chooses, she will also choose to leave the Guo family.

    Moreover, she was not angry, but a sudden fear in her heart.

    How can it be like a shoe, thrown to the side of the road ahead?

    This man’s unintentional display of cold-hearted scheming is really timid. But Cui Xingzhou had a helpless expression on his face, and gently stroked her face and said, “What are you thinking about?”
