Chapter 546 Shaking Chang'an
For the first time in his life, Cui Pu regretted having a daughter.

If I had known that the consequence of raising my daughter would be to watch her sad and sad for someone else's little man, he would never have let Mu Jiaojiao give birth to them even if he died!
Unfortunately, it's too late to regret now.

The eldest lady took a deep breath, and after a long time said slowly: "Is that so? I know." She nodded, "In that case, I will follow Auntie's arrangement and go back to Chang'an and let my grandparents help me choose someone to marry. gone."

"Mistress, have you really made up your mind?" Cui Pu couldn't help but feel more pain in his heart when he heard this.

Hey, being a dad is hard work.It's hard for his daughter to have a sweetheart, and it's hard for him not to be with her sweetheart. Now that his daughter has given up on herself and wants to marry anyone, it's even more uncomfortable for him.

The eldest lady nodded firmly: "I gave him a chance to marry me, but he didn't come. If that's the case, I don't want him anymore!"

Then he turned around, with the cloak fluttering in the wind, and walked away with cool steps.

Cui Pu turned his head and showed a bitter face to Mu Jiaojiao: "My lady, what should I do now!"

"Didn't the eldest lady say it all? Go back to Chang'an and find someone to marry her." Mu Jiaojiao said, "Speaking of which, my aunt and sister-in-law have often written to me these years, reminding me that the eldest lady should talk about someone else." , it’s not a problem to delay any longer.”

"She's not that old..." Cui Pu whispered.

"She's gone!" Mu Jiaojiao reminded him angrily, "I've been married to you for two years at this age!"

"Ah? Is that so? Is there such a thing?" Cui Pu seemed to be able to react at this moment.But thinking about it, he couldn't help but have a sore nose, and plunged into Mu Jiaojiao's arms, "Lady, what should I do? I watched the eldest lady grow up with my own eyes. No matter how old she is, in my opinion, she is still the same. A child. I really don't want to marry her!"

"It's useless if you don't give up. This is your eldest daughter. A good marriage will definitely be of great help to you in the future." Mu Jiaojiao coldly pushed him away.

Cui Pu then entangled her cheekily: "I don't need her to bring me any help. I just want my daughter to live happily, carefree, and live a peaceful life."

"If you have the ability, do you really try to keep her by your side for the rest of your life?" Mu Jiaojiao was annoyed and funny, "You just give up on me! Besides, since she is already in love with her, do you think you can stop her?" Live? If you really want her to be happy and stable, you'd better do what she wants!"

"But I can't bear to..."

"When the eldest lady really hates you, you will regret it."

Being provoked by her, Cui Pu stopped talking, he just hugged Mu Jiaojiao tightly and buried his head in her shoulder for a long, long time.

At night, he finally said: "You take the eldest lady and the others back to Chang'an! Keep an eye on her and find her a good home. I don't care about this!"

"You really don't care?" Mu Jiaojiao didn't believe his words.

Cui Pu looked at her sadly. "Before the marriage is settled, you'd better not tell me who that person is. Otherwise, I will definitely run to beat him to death!"

As long as he thinks that someone will hug his precious daughter in his arms and cling to him, his heart will hurt so badly, he wished to catch that bastard quickly and beat him up!Of course, that Li Xiang who dared to hurt the old lady's heart, he also wanted to beat him up, and then cut his body into thousands of pieces, and threw the body on the grassland to feed the wild wolves!
Mu Jiaojiao burst into a smile. "Okay, I get it. Unless the people are settled and the day is optimistic, I will never tell you, and let you continue to maintain the illusion that the big lady is still by your side, is that okay?"

Cui Pu nodded sullenly.

Immediately, he plunged into Mu Jiaojiao's arms again: "My lady, I'm sad!"

Mu Jiaojiao looked up at the sky speechlessly.

The old lady is really not young.So, since she decided to go back to Chang'an to find someone for her, Mu Jiaojiao quickly packed up and went back to Chang'an with the eldest lady, Mr. Dalang and Mr. Erlang.

"Little lady stay here, let her accompany you to relieve boredom." Before leaving, Mu Jiaojiao said to Cui Pu.

Cui Pu looked down at the little daughter beside him, and saw the little lady raised her head and gave him a foolish smile, then took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy from her bosom: "Daddy, eat candy, it's so sweet!"

Cui Pu took a bite and found that it was indeed very sweet.However, no matter how sweet the candy is, it can't offset the pain that he knows that the eldest lady is going to marry, but he can't stop him!She quickly hugged the little lady into her arms: "One piece is not enough, father wants more."

"That's it! But I don't have much!" The little lady wrinkled her face into a ball.But in the end she still gritted her teeth, reluctantly took out the oil paper bag wrapped in sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, and sent them all to Cui Pu, "That's all I have, I'll give it all to you! Daddy, you won't cry after you eat it, if you want be good!"

"Well, Dad will behave after eating." Cui Pu nodded, and ate several pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with the little lady's little hand.

Mu Jiaojiao watched the movements of the father and daughter through the car window, and couldn't help shaking his head.Looking back at the eldest lady again, she whispered: "This time, your father is really sad."

"It's my fault. But..." The eldest lady couldn't help her eyes were red, and she quickly hugged Mu Jiaojiao's arm with both hands, "Aniang, I still feel uncomfortable!"

"Okay, my daughter's family, it's inevitable that you will be sad when you encounter such a thing. And at least you have loved someone sincerely, and experienced the sweetness of a young girl's Huaichun. Compared with others, you married someone in a muddleheaded way, and raised eyebrows with your husband A woman for a lifetime is much happier." Mu Jiaojiao said softly as he stroked her head.

The eldest lady nodded with tears in her eyes. "Aniang, what you said is true. With you and daddy protecting me, I have been presumptuous enough these years. This is the last time I hurt daddy's heart, and I will never do this again."

Having been hurt once, the child is much more sensible.Although they would rather she not become so sensible.

Mu Jiaojiao sighed lightly, then just rubbed the top of her daughter's soft head and stopped talking.

This way, they walked for nearly three months before returning to Chang'an.

When we arrived in Chang'an, it was the season of warm spring and flowers blooming.In April, Chang'an is much warmer than Liangzhou. The boys and girls on the streets are dressed in light, colorful clothes, all smiling, and full of youthful vitality.

The elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, brought Mu Jiaojiao's mother and son in with a room full of sisters-in-law.

First go to see Mrs. Cui.Mrs. Cui looked forward to it day and night, looking forward to her grandchildren's eyes almost going blind.After finally looking forward to the children's return, she quickly pulled the eldest lady to sit beside her.

"Let grandma take a look quickly! Oh, look at my Twelve Lady, her appearance and character are absolutely unique. It's just that you and your wife are stingy, and you haven't seen them for years. Bring them back to show me !"

The eldest lady lowered her head and whispered: "It's the granddaughter who is unfilial, it has nothing to do with father and mother. They are busy enough every day."

"Listen, how considerate is this child? She looks good, and she is docile and obedient. Six brothers and sisters, you husband and wife have accumulated virtues for many lifetimes to raise such a good child? Take her out for a walk some other day, I'm afraid The little man from another family will have his eyes glued to her!" Mrs. Zheng said with a smile, also full of praise for the eldest lady.

The other sisters-in-law, as well as the wives of the married brothers of the eldest lady's generation, also joined in.

The identities of Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao are not as good as before.Except for the eldest Cui Fu, Cui Pu is the most capable member of the Cui family.And speaking of it in detail, it is okay to compare the two brothers. After all, Cui Pu, as a bastard, was unknown for the first 17 years, but suddenly rose up in the next 20 years, and he was already a third-rank official at the age of less than forty .Although he still can't reach the level of a feudal official, the feudal officials in Monan and Mobei are all his good brothers!Even among the honorable children in Chang'an City, how many people can reach his level?

Moreover, his official career was not entirely dependent on the help of the Cui family. Everyone saw his ups and downs in the officialdom, and his many dangerous experiences.Now, he has gained a firm foothold in Liangzhou, and also in the Cui family.Even if everyone is envious and jealous, they have to admit that their husband and wife are really capable.At least to be able to fight to the point where it is today, that is something that many people will not be able to do in their lifetime!
As for the eldest lady who Cui Pu loved the most, they naturally tried their best to please her.

Even, when they learned that the eldest lady was going back to Chang'an to choose a relative, many people's families were already sensationalized!There are quite a few people who come to inquire about the situation these days.Presumably, when I see the eldest lady again with such a face, the people who come to propose marriage will break the threshold.

I have to admit, the eldest lady is really good at reincarnation!
Mrs. Cui held the hand of the eldest lady and asked her for a long time, then she turned to Mu Jiaojiao with satisfaction, and scolded again with a straight face: "You, I'm not telling you, but I'm too used to Liulang! Look at what you two are doing. What a good thing! Good little lady, you have been wasted to this age. If I hadn't urged you to send her back with a letter every month, would you still plan to keep her by your side and not marry?"

Women in this era have always married early, and many girls at the age of Da Niangzi are already mothers of two or three children.

Mu Jiaojiao was taught that he had nothing to say, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

Zheng and the others hurriedly persuaded them softly.Coupled with the soft voice of the eldest lady forgiving her parents, Mrs. Cui's complexion became better, but she kept the eldest lady by her side that night.Naturally, Nanny Lu also came back with them this time.Meeting Mrs. Cui's master and servant, the two of them inevitably burst into tears again.

And Mr. Dalang and Mr. Erlang are not young because they are men, so they only followed Mu Jiaojiao in at the beginning to visit the elders, and then they were taken by Cui Lin to live with other brothers.

Elder Cui Ge came back in the evening and tested their knowledge with Cui Fen. Immediately, both father and son praised the two brothers and made up their minds to take this opportunity to quickly arrange their marriage.

"Indeed, it's time to make a decision. The twelve ladies are all gone, and the two young gentlemen are also sixteen and fourteen. If they were in Chang'an, their marriage should have been settled a long time ago. As a result, because they have been wandering outside, they can't It’s such a pity that I can’t meet any good family, so it’s been delayed until now! Those good children have almost been delayed for the rest of their lives!” At night, Mrs. Cui couldn’t help but sigh with Elder Cui Ge.

Elder Cui Ge just smiled and said: "It's only a few years of delay, it doesn't matter. As long as these children are good, they will take care of them so much that they come to discuss marriage. Moreover, there are many women who married late in our new Tang Dynasty. , Didn’t Queen’s mother get married in her 40s?”

"Having said that, Twelve Lady is such a good child, I wish I could choose a first-class husband in the world for her." Mrs. Cui sighed, "Although Liu Lang is not my own, but these years they are in other places , I have always had a heart for them, and every time I pray in front of the Buddha, I will also light a stick of incense for them. Now it is so easy to see them gain a firm foothold, and the big lady has grown up, and I also Very satisfied. Especially seeing her today, the satisfaction and joy in my heart is almost the same as meeting Dalang's little lady."

"I knew that Madam is virtuous. Seeing that the Boling Cui family is flourishing, and now there is another pillar like Liulang, I am also very happy." Cui Ge said, and quietly held her hand.

Madam Cui couldn't help but let out a low snort. "I'm an old husband and wife, and you still use such words to coax me, you don't feel ashamed!"

"As long as Madam likes to listen, I don't feel ashamed to say it a hundred times for my husband." Cui Ge said hurriedly.

Madam Cui quickly withdrew her hand. "Forget it, I don't care about you! I'll go and take care of it and see if those young men can match up with our twelve ladies. By the way, I have to quickly call the people from the embroidery workshop and make some for her." There are new clothes on my body; I need to make some more sets of jewelry... By the way, I remember that there is still a set of ruby ​​heads in the warehouse. This bright red color is the most suitable for Twelve Ladies. Make another set to decorate the Twelve Ladies. The next time we go out, our Twelve Ladies must shake Chang'an!"

Half a month later, Mrs. Cui's meticulously dressed lady finally appeared at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Li's in Longxi.

She did exactly what Mrs. Cui wished, and as soon as she appeared, she shocked the city of Chang'an with her beauty, her calmness, and her heroism, which is rare among the girls in Chang'an city.
