Chapter 34(1/2)
However, Liu Miantang didn't know that he had offended his husband without intention. He only thought about his schedule today so that his husband could know.
Cui Xingzhou frowned and listened to Miss He San's infatuation and miscommitted, and felt that he wanted to correct Miss Liu's prejudice.
Because he did not make the mistake Miantang said, and hearing her misunderstanding, King Huaiyang felt inexplicably uncomfortable, so he said, "Ms. He, a business woman, can recognize King Huaiyang? Maybe he was deceived by a liar?"
Miantang was just talking to his husband, and seeing that he was so serious, he said, "Miss He San is not a lady from the boudoir who never leaves the door, and he shouldn't have recognized the wrong person. I just don't know what the King of Huaiyang looks like. He Zhen can actually miss He Zhen for life? In my opinion, she is a good man, and if she sees her husband like this, she will know that King of Huaiyang is not worth mentioning."
Her words made Cui Jiu's face slightly relieved. The topic of He Zhen's unmarried ended.
However, afterwards, the King of Huaiyang took advantage of the time when he returned to the royal palace to have dinner and called the senior executives to ask.
The executive looked around for a while and really thought about the intersection between the prince and the He family. It seemed that before Cui Xingzhou's sister Cui Fu got married, various stores came to choose various dowry styles, including the He family. @南公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司公司
At that time, it was the most chaotic time in the world in Zhenzhou. The He family encountered robbers halfway. Fortunately, the prince led his troops to save the He family's carriage and horses.
The executive has a good memory. If he remembers correctly, Miss He San should have been in the car at that time, witnessing the heroic appearance of the young prince...
When he said this, the manager looked at the prince carefully, and was a little confused. Why did the prince suddenly remember to ask about this old thing?
However, in order to win over such a big customer as the royal family, various shops are also very filial to the managers during the holidays, so the senior executives naturally know that the third girl of the He family has been reluctant to get married.
Now that I heard the prince suddenly ask, I can't help but suspect that it was the Red Luan Star in the sky that moved, and that I had led the red line for Miss He San who was infatuated and wrongly paid.
Thinking that the prince had just ordered him to send supplements to the outer house on the north street of Lingquan Town, maybe there was one there. If there was really a child, then he would not be able to serve him.
The prince here is not idle, he is looking for another beauty.
Master Jiu inherited the old prince’s romantic mantra, and even surpassed the blue ones!
Thinking of this, the senior executive couldn't help but sigh for Miss Lian in the mansion, "It's not easy to be the princess in the royal palace!" I wonder if Master Jiu can still beat his father, and if the house in the royal palace can accommodate groups of concubines in the future...
Lian Qilan also found out the news.
She is the future mistress of the royal family. There is no need to give her a deliberate benefit, so someone rushed to her and cursed her and secretly informed her.
The nourishing order sent to North Street was copied before it could be delivered, and it was copied into Lian Qilan's hands.
Looking at the tonics for pregnancy, Lian Chu was so anxious that he slapped the table and said to his daughter: "Apart from other places, you are more considerate than Wei's mother, but you are still much worse than the methods of dealing with men! Think about it, the prince is in his prime, but he has been unmarried for a long time. If you don't arrange a concubine to him, he will naturally find it himself. At the beginning, I was going to raise Lianxiang and send it to the prince, but you just refused. Now, the way of fox charm makes the man look short. This... Is it necessary for her to have a child in front of you?"
Lian Qilan felt angry. But she was still self-reliant and calm and said, "Wouldn't that North Street be out of date? The servant next to the executive came to tell me that the prince seemed to be more interested in the third lady in the He family..."
Lian Chu was even more angry when he heard this. He immediately went to his sister to tell him about the ridiculous things his nephew did.
But Lian Qilan stopped her mother: "Mom, what's the use of talking to the concubine? My cousin is not under the control of the concubine at all. You can't help me with this, except to make my cousin annoy me..."
Lian Chu actually knew this, so he shook his head helplessly and thought, "What do you think?"
Lian Qilan pursed her lips and said, "My mother wanted to give Lianxiang to her cousin, but she didn't like her, so she naturally refused to accept it. Since that's the case, if he likes someone, we will help a group of cousins and recruit her into the mansion in advance. First, let the prince stop running out of the sky again. Second, this concubine can also learn the rules from the concubine. Don't be distorted and think about something that shouldn't be thinking about."
Lian Chu understood the meaning of his daughter, but she still frowned and said, "What is the woman from North Street? How can I pick her up again?"
Lian Qilan smiled contemptuously and said, "The North Street is too unbearable, so it is naturally difficult to pick her up, otherwise my cousin would not have set up a house for her. However, He Zhen, although she was born in a merchant, her family was an imperial merchant who was offered by the royal family, and she also had some connections with Concubine Xi in the palace. Although such a lady is not considered a precious concubine, she is not easy to neglect. Mom, do you think this is the reason?"
Lian Chu thought about it carefully and suddenly realized: her daughter can tell the difference. No matter how favored the North Street people are, they are just the prince who allows her to have some children and have some support in the future.
However, the children born in the outdoor room cannot even get the genealogy of the royal family. But the lady of the He family is different. After all, she is a serious lady with a pure and innocent background. If she really gets favored by the prince in the future, she will be the enemy of her daughter. You must take the initiative to attack first and win her over!
After the mother and daughter discussed this, Lian Qilan prepared to go to the Hejia porcelain shop in Lingquan Town to see what a beautiful figure that Miss He San was. She was so fascinated that the prince went back to his house to ask the housekeeper.
Cui Xingzhou didn't know that his future virtuous wife had already thought about it carefully for him and was preparing to welcome a concubine with innocent family background to serve him.
In the past two days, he rode a fast horse to the boundary of Qingzhou Prefecture and checked the files of several local officials.
This was not his whim. A few days ago, he had a long talk with Mr. Meng Ge who returned home. He learned some secrets about the shocking changes of the East Palace from the elder of the three dynasties.
It is said that after the empress who was persecuted by Concubine Xi was thrown into the cold palace, the prince made preparations early in the morning. Although Concubine Xi was deceived into the palace by Concubine Xi, he was poured into the palace and died tragically. However, his two legitimate sons were rescued by the prince's confidants, and their whereabouts were unknown since then.
Until now, the two children who escaped were all heart-wrenching concubine Xi, who had become the Empress Dowager of the Virgin.
It was the way Concubine Xi supported the current throne to be promoted to the present day by too much. After he came to power, he supported his followers and harmed loyal and kind-hearted. Many court officials dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and they missed the virtuous Prince in their hearts.
According to age, Mr. Meng Ge was actually the most meticulous time in politics, but he refused to join in the crowd and just took the excuse to return home early after getting sick.
Cui Xingzhou was his very proud disciple back then, and the relationship between the master and the apprentice was very close. Now it seems that this student is indeed promising, and is definitely not a prince who relies on his father's sacredness. Therefore, Mr. Meng also had some support in Cui Xingzhou, and he knew everything about him.
The teacher and student talked in secret. When they were about to separate, Meng Ge said to him earnestly: "I don't see that things are clear, but now the miasma in the ninth heaven is full of miasma, and villains dance is not a long-term solution to govern the country. I hope to judge the situation by boat, don't be too pedantic and preserve your strength. Once the change in the court, you need loyal and kind-hearted to turn the tide and set the sea thousands of miles away..."
Cui Xingzhou bowed and said that he had written down his mentor's teachings and said goodbye.
Then he came to Qingzhou to check the file.
This investigation revealed some clues, but there were several volumes of official files that were obviously missing, and someone had pulled them down.
When he returned to Lingquan Town, there were already stars. When he returned to the house on North Street, he originally wanted to call Li's mother to ask for something to eat.
But Miantang said to him while wearing clothes: "My mother Li's head was a little heavy when she woke up early. It seemed that she was greedy for cold food yesterday. The doctor came to see her sickly and had already taken medicine to sleep. Husband, what do you want to eat? I'll do it for you."
Cui Xingzhou felt that it was cold outside the house and Miantang would catch a cold when he went out like this, so he asked again: "Where are the two newly sent girls? Let them do it."
Mian Tang shook his head helplessly and said, "Fang Xie and Bicao look very quick, but their mother is too strict in tutoring newcomers. They only pour water, so they practice for an afternoon. The poor two little girls were swollen with wrists. Fortunately, Li's mother was sick today, and I thought about giving them a good sleep. My mother would have to assign new homework tomorrow!"
In fact, the Cui family is not a wealthy family, but Li’s mother has so many rules that she doesn’t know where to learn those homework. When pouring water, she must be silent and not splashed out any drops of water. Moreover, her waist gestures are all given.
To be honest, when Miantang got married, the female husbands her father invited were not as turtle as Li's mother. Miantang initially stopped Li's mother and did not let her be so particular, but when Li's mother looked at the two little maids with unruly appearance, she really couldn't stand it. She just looked straight, her face was as dark as ink, and she looked like "If you don't say it out, you'll be suffocated to death", and she was even more unwilling to cook.
In the end, Miantang became the boss and let the old mess with the two young people, which was considered a harmonious family and family, with three meals and three dishes and one soup.
Now that Li's mother has fallen asleep, the two little maids are very pitiful. The husband dislikes the rough and makes the mother pickled and never eat what she makes. In terms of it, he can only do it himself.
Cui Xingzhou knew Miantang's skills. Sometimes, some dishes were cooked decently, like a kind of home-cooked dish, and they were just as skilled as a knife, so they needed someone to help her. So they half-lying on the soft collapse and asked, "What are you going to cook for me?"
Mian Tang remembered that there was a basket of river shrimps, and said, "Is it good to make fried shrimps? I learned it from Li's mother. It's crispier and you can eat it with some pepper and salt."
Cui Xingzhou was also hungry, thinking that he would be fine when he was ready, so he nodded.
Seeing his husband nodding, Liu Miantang happily tied up his hair, wrapped it in a terry cloth, then pulled Cui Jiu to sit by the table in front of the window, lit up the candlelight, ground the ink, and asked his husband to write.
My husband's handwriting is very beautiful, so she recently begged her husband to write a set of copybooks for herself and use it in her spare time to copy it.
After arranging her husband, she fastened her apron and sat on a small stool under the corridor outside the window, with a small copper basin on her legs. From time to time, she could see her husband's side face writing in front of the candle under the bed.
Cui Xingzhou occasionally looked up and looked out through the wide open window. Through the light blue window screen, he looked as if she was about to take a break when she cut a few scissors.
Her wrists are impatient, and she is usually done by the old men.
Seeing Miantang unable to put down her scissors several times, Cui Jiu finally put down his pen, took a big step, and pulled the bench to sit down. He took her scissors and cut the shrimps neatly.
Miantang likes his husband the most, that is, he doesn't say much, but he feels sorry for her every move. Looking at the slender fingers he should have held the pen and silhouetted, she really feels guilty of her incompetence, and her husband is so tired that he can't go home and eat hot meals immediately.
After the shrimps cut their beards and removed the shrimp thread, Miantang beat eggs and adjusted the slurry like Li's usual way, then wrapped the shrimps and fryed them in the oil pan.
Fortunately, she always learns from Li’s mother. Although this is her first time doing it, she is quite good.
Fried river shrimps are golden, sprinkled with salt and seasoned, and then served with watered rice. It is just right. @南南公司, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Cui Xingzhou ate two bowls of fried shrimp and two plates of pickled side dishes. Miantang's determination to become a virtuous wife was greatly satisfied, and he diligently served rice with shrimp for his husband.
When Li's mother was about to get up at night, she saw a pair of shadows reflected in the window. She suddenly felt that she was very close!
She shook her head, suspecting that her belly was so bad that her mind was chaotic.
Now that summer has passed, the weather is getting colder. Miantang feels that he is unable to adapt to the winter weather in the south. It is just that the cold things in the house show that there is a man in the bed, and it is so warm that there is no need to pour soup on the mother.
Miantang hugged his husband's arm and wanted to stay in bed.
However, today is a temporary gathering held by the Chamber of Commerce. Yesterday, the He family sent a message, and tomorrow everyone would have to come to have a meeting, and she could not delay it.
So until the end of the trip, Miantang finally gritted his teeth and was about to get up.
Cui Xingzhou took advantage of Miantang's sleep last night and hurriedly wrote a few letters for Mo Ru to send someone to send them out. So he slept very late. At this time, You closed his eyes and grabbed Miantang's wrist: "Why are you getting up so early? Let's lie with me for a while..."
Miantang didn't want to separate from her husband too early, but unfortunately she was plagued by common affairs. She had to make money to support her family! Wen Yan had to coax her husband to let go, so she could get up to wash and change clothes.
My mother Li was a little more energetic today and sent all her work. The work of serving the home couple in the inner room was handed over to the little maid Fangxie, and the work of the kitchen was handed over to the Bicao, who was good at cooking.
Her body was still a little weak and she had to stay in bed for several days.
Because Li's mother was so ill that she couldn't get into bed. The two little maids didn't have to do their homework, and they felt relieved.
They all bought the death contract, so they were naturally nervous about their master's nature.
Fortunately, except for the difficult old mothers, the two owners of this family look generous. Needless to say, the owner is so handsome that it cannot be described. It makes people reluctant to blink when they see it. Every move is free and easy. At first glance, it is a great young master who has read books. He is just a person who doesn't like to talk and never looks at them like little maids.
The lady is a stunning beauty. She looked at the cold at first, but after getting to know each other, she realized that she was really kind and laughing, and she was much easier to talk to than that mother Li.
The boss and his wife are both friendly, and the family is rich, and they have meat soup, fish and shrimp every meal. The two little maids are glad that they were sold to a good family, so they are naturally attentive to do things.
Miantang took the warm tonic medicine from his little maid Fangxie and drank it all in one go. These tonics have a faint medicinal aroma, sweet taste, and are not difficult to drink. But no matter how easy it is, it is inevitable that they will be bored every day.
But her husband said that she had to drink it regularly to dispel the cold air, otherwise if she wanted to have a child in the future, it would be a bit difficult.
When Miantang heard this, she had to swallow even the bitterness of the Cui family for the sake of the incense! She couldn't stop every time and was very meticulous.
Even those medicinal materials look very expensive, and I don’t know how many games my husband has won recently. The silver is spent like flowing water, but he has paid a lot of money for the family and looks very generous.
Thinking of this, she picked up the newly purchased jewelry on the dressing table, turned to her husband in the bed and said, "Husband, I have enough jewelry, don't buy it for me."
"Those things don't seem to be too much, just wear them in a different way."
Cui Jiu also got up at this time. His loose underwear could not cover up his broad chest muscles and waistline. He could tell at a glance that he was an expert in martial arts practice every day.
Fang Xie had just combed her wife's hair, and she blushed and wanted to go over and change her clothes for the boss. But Liu Miantang took Fang Xie first and came to her husband.
Miantang doesn’t like to leave privacy practices like changing clothes to others. Just serve your own men.
