Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 110 Cui House
Zhao Xiwei stood in front of the gate of Cui's mansion, looking at the magnolia flowers hanging all over, his thoughts drifted far away.

It was almost noon, and the sun was slightly drunk. Layers of magnolias, climbing the red walls and green tiles, quietly poked out half of their heads, but the flower branches were gently hugged by the pale golden sunlight.

The shadows of the flowers are swaying, yin and yang, entangled in the air like a veil.

"Miss Wei, it's unfortunate that the envoys of Goguryeo left Beijing today, and our master has been ordered to carry it out. We don't know when we will be able to return home. I know you are anxious about Mrs. Sun's affairs, but this is not in a hurry. of."

Mrs. Cui smiled and took Zhao Xiwei's hand, and finally said the words of rejection tactfully.

Zhao Xiwei sighed inwardly.

The third lady's matter is too complicated, and it is reasonable for the Cui family to stay away.

It is better to ask for help than to ask oneself, it is better to go back and discuss with father, maybe you can secretly ask someone to turn around.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Xi smiled and bid farewell to the Cui family's mother and daughter, and was about to step up when two fine horses stopped in front of him.

The two young masters came down, and they saluted Mrs. Cui: "Mother!" "Auntie."

Cui Yurong immediately ran over: "Brother! Cousin!"

Zhao Xiwei couldn't dodge it in time, so he took half a step back and turned sideways.

Cui Yurong happily introduced: "Sister Wei, this is my elder brother, Yutang." He pointed to the side, "This is my cousin, Pei Linfeng."

The cousin named Pei is the eldest son of the Pei family.

Zhao Xiwei hadn't even attended the ceremony yet, but a gentle voice sounded: "This is Miss Zhao San, right? A younger sister from Wen's family mentioned it, seeing her today, she really deserves her reputation."

Zhao Xi slightly raised his eyes and was a little stunned.

That day when Linglong was humiliated, all the dandies stood by and watched, only Mr. Pei drew his sword. Although he failed to stop Wang Fan's atrocities, he left a heroic impression on Zhao Xiwei.

The man in front of him was about twenty, handsome and elegant, wearing a white robe with light blue curved water patterns embroidered on the cuffs and neckline. People misunderstood him as the son of a scholarly family.

Unexpectedly, the Pei family, who are adept at martial arts, can actually raise such a noble son and brother.

Zhao Xiwei felt a little good in his heart, so he smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Cui greeted her with a smile, and ordered the servant to go forward and lead the horse to the stable, and asked, "Today is the first day of being transferred to Yemensi, why did you get off duty so early?"

Cui Yutang said: "Mother, don't talk about it. My cousin and I went away on the first day of taking office, saying that there was a mistake in Hu Cao's office. We have to check and verify all the household registrations in the capital for the past 20 years. Cao didn’t have enough manpower, so we transferred our people to help.”

Zhao Xi was slightly startled.

"That's right." Mrs. Cui glanced at Zhao Xiwei, and before she could change the subject, Cui Yurong said bluntly: "Hucao? Sister Wei, don't you just want my father to take you to Hucao?" ?"

"What?" Cui Yutang was stunned, "What did Miss Zhao go to Hucao?"

"Hey, it's a long story. There is something wrong with her family's third aunt's household registration. She was called away by Hu Cao, and her father wanted to avoid suspicion, so she wanted to ask our father for help. Unfortunately, my father left the house today. return."

Before Zhao Xiwei opened his mouth, Cui Yurong finished speaking like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Madam Cui frowned slightly.

But Cui Yutang's voice sounded over there again: "For this matter, it's easy to handle, we'll take you there."

He spread his hands, looking very relaxed: "Anyway, Hu Cao borrowed dozens of people from our Yemen Division today, and it's okay to ask them to repay the favor."

The third wife, Mrs. Sun, was taken away by Hu Cao, which was ordered by the Queen Mother.

The enthusiastic Cui brothers and sisters didn't know the reason, but Mrs. Cui did. She smiled lightly and said, "Tang'er Ronger, it won't be too late to decide on this matter when your father comes back."

Zhao Xiwei understood.

Mrs. Cui's attitude is so firm, if she bothers the Cui family again, she will appear to have no eyes, so she smiled and saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Cui, for your righteousness, but the young lady has other ideas, so I don't want to bother you any more." .”

Madam Cui nodded with satisfaction: "Exactly. When our master comes back, I will tell him to discuss countermeasures with the Prime Minister when he goes to court tomorrow."

Going around and kicking the ball back.

Cui Yutang didn't understand, so: "Mother, Ms. Zhao and her younger sister are good friends, that's my good friend. Now that she's begging to come, I just want to go to Hu Cao. It's just a matter of little effort! Besides, Hu Cao Ben Daddy is in charge, even if Xiangye comes forward tomorrow, in the end this matter will still have to be handled by our father."

"Yes, yes!" Cui Yurong echoed.

Mrs. Cui only thinks that one head and two big.

The brothers and sisters kept persuading from one side to the other, it seemed that she was the villain on purpose.

Before we could say anything more, Pei Linfeng smiled warmly: "Don't worry, Auntie, that family of Cao Cao Tang Heng and his nephew are considered to have a little personal relationship, but it's just a favor."

Mrs. Cui couldn't resist, and it was inconvenient to show a too indifferent attitude in public. After all, the Cui family master and Zhao Ziyi were important ministers in front of the emperor.

After thinking about it, he nodded: "Then you guys take Ms. Zhao to Hucao."

Zhao Xiwei followed good manners, so he bowed his knees and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Cui, and thank you two young masters."

Cui Yutang smiled heartily: "Thank you, we are friends, and we should help."

Pei Linfeng bowed and resigned from Mrs. Cui: "Auntie, the nephew and cousin will go to Hucao first."

Cui Yurong tugged at Cui Yutang's sleeve: "Brother, I'm going too! I haven't gone out for a long time, and I'm going to get moldy at home!"

Cui Yutang was so entangled that he couldn't help it: "Okay, okay, let's go together."

Mrs. Cui was still a little worried, and said: "Hucao is only a quarter of an hour away from our house, so don't ride a horse ostentatiously through the city, just ask the boy to prepare a flat-topped cart."

"Everything is arranged by my aunt and mother." The two brothers agreed in unison, and Cui Yutang ordered the young man to prepare the carriage.

But in the blink of an eye, two house slaves appeared at the door in a black-painted cab.

Mrs. Cui gave some instructions again, such as not to make loud noises in the street, not to run into hawkers when you see them selling along the way, etc. After getting Pei Linfeng's promise, she nodded reassuringly, and let them go.

Zhao Xiwei was very grateful to the two young masters Pei and Cui, and stood in front of the carriage and saluted them again: "We met by chance, the two young masters can help each other so generously, the young lady is very grateful."
