Yutai Bi

Chapter 172
Du Yansui's expression remained unchanged, and he cupped his fists in a salute: "In this case, my younger sister will be entrusted to the Marquis. Tomorrow, the Marquis will come to the mansion to pick up my younger sister."

Huh, so refreshing?Doubt flashed in the eyes of Marquis Cui, and he took another step: "What if the Marquis returns to the mansion to pick up someone?"

Du Yansui pressed the knife on his waist and swallowed it, and the sharp knife popped out an inch or so.

Cui Houye was dazzled by the light reflected by the blade, startled: "What are you going to do?"

Du Yansui lightly pressed the saber back, and said softly: "There is a year, not less than this day, what do you think?"

Cui Houye was stared at by his eyes, and walked away: "There is a year, not a day." He gritted his teeth, and his voice was filled with endless resentment.

Du Yansui watched him leave sadly.Stretched and straight, waiting for the ministers to disperse, the imperial guards went back to the camp to change the guard.

After Jianguo returned home, he was extremely depressed.Seeing Cui Mengdong's mourning hall, I remembered what my son said when he proposed to propose marriage to the Du family.Originally thinking that the marriage would go smoothly, Du Yanwan went through the door and took it into her own hands, so Du Yansui had come to seek refuge.

Now that the son is gone, the marriage is gone, and things have come to this point, the Cui and Du families have become enemies.He was still making noise in the court hall, but let the emperor use the queen as a raft, and divided the power of the three prime ministers.

The best son is gone.Master Cui Hou knew that the third child was spoiled, and he only knew how to play and have fun all day long.Although the second child is a concubine, he worked steadily and hard, and a little comfort came to his heart.Li Shi was still immersed in pain, and couldn't discuss it with her.He called Erlang Cui Jidong into the study.

The Cui family is a big family, and the training of the younger generation began when they were young.Lord Cui Houye didn't hide from his son, and told him in detail what happened to the harem a few days ago.

"Father, in terms of appearance, the empress is born beautiful and beautiful. Wu Zhaoyi is charming and charming, not as good as the empress. If it is because of the heirs, the emperor is still young, and the empress is also young. It will be a matter of time before the prince is born. The son thinks that the emperor is alone. There are other reasons for favoring Wu Zhaoyi." Cui Jidong calmly analyzed it to his father.

Cui Houye's heart tightened: "How to say?"

Cui Jidong said word by word: "The prime ministers are assisted by the last emperor's will. It has been a long time, relying on himself as the elder of the two dynasties to hold on to the power. The emperor has been on the throne for almost three years, and I have long been impatient. Gu He had to respect the old ministers. If they wanted power, the old ministers would say that the emperor was young, and they would carry out the last emperor's will and let them assist in political affairs. The emperor could only find another way, starting from the harem, emphasizing Wu Zhaoyi and suppressing the queen. Like Today's court meeting is the same, the queen's confinement made the prime ministers take the initiative to jump out. Wei Xiangliu, Wang Xiang, which one is not related to our Cui family? The queen has fallen, and the Wu family has taken over the harem. Can we still have a good life? Therefore, no matter what, we have to keep the queen, so we can only give in. The emperor issued a decree to allow officials of the fourth rank and above to discuss the affairs of the three provinces and six ministries. If the prime ministers want to fight, the emperor will not lift the confinement order of the empress."

Lord Cui was silent for a moment and said: "That's right. The empress must be protected. The emperor has taken over the power, and our life is even more difficult. The only way now is to deal with Wu Zhaoyi, so that the emperor can't use the harem to make a fuss."

Cui Jidong said: "The emperor is now promoting and reusing his own officials. Like Yuchi Baolin, like Du Yansui... It was a good move for my father to invite Miss Du into the mansion. The Du family is wary. Du Yansui will be useful at critical times. The place where Du Yansui is right now is very important to us."

Lord Cui sneered and said: "Okay, I will pick up Du Yanwan tomorrow. The emperor ordered her to practice and chant scriptures, and our family will definitely give her a quiet place."

Received the imperial decree from the servants in the palace.The Du family knew that there was no room for change this time.Going to live in Cui's nunnery for a year will never have a good day waiting for Du Yanwan.

Cen Sanniang asked in a low voice: "Can our family go and see the environment first?"

Mrs. Du was amused by her: "Do you think the Cui family will let our family move Yan Wan's boudoir there? Even if the place to live is not bad, eating is a problem. You can't cook three meals a day at home. Send it away. Chanting scriptures and practicing, you can't get dirty. The founding mansion is not so easy to enter."

Du Yanwan is optimistic and at ease: "The Cui family can't starve me to death anyway. If you are a vegetarian, you can be a vegetarian. I will read scriptures and chant for my mother every day, hoping that she will recover. I am afraid that one day my mother will leave, and I will not even see her for the last time." Can't see..."

The doctor said that Mrs. Zhang would not be able to delay the year at the latest.What Du Yanwan was most afraid of was that when she went to Cui's house by herself, her mother left suddenly.Thinking of this makes me sad again.

"Yan Wan, I will take good care of my mother." Cen Sanniang could only comfort her like this.

Someone from the Cui family will come tomorrow.Mrs. Du felt sad, and said helplessly: "Don't think so much. You haven't said that you can't go back to the mansion after chanting for a year. Wait a little longer, and then go and ask the emperor to allow you to go back to the mansion occasionally. Filial piety is beyond heaven, your majesty I won’t refuse. Yan Wan, you go back and clean up, keep it from your mother, and tell her slowly later.”

Du Yanwan responded and was about to leave when Du Yansui picked up the curtain and entered the room, she couldn't help calling him happily: "Brother, you're back."

Seeing the smile on Yan Wan's face, Du Yansui was a little relieved: "Go and pack your things first, don't worry, brother has his own arrangements."

Hearing what he said, Du Yanwan raised a bright smile: "I see."

After entering the inner room and greeting the old lady, Du Yansui said directly: "Grandma, don't worry. Everything is ready. Yanwan can't suffer."

Cen Sanniang was a little curious: "What are you preparing?"

Du Yansui smiled and said, "You will know tomorrow."

In front of Mrs. Du, Cen Sanniang felt relieved that it was inconvenient to pester him to ask questions.Du Yansui was safe, he said that he was ready, and he probably had a way to deal with the Cui family.She glared at him and didn't ask any more questions.

Mrs. Du also knew her grandson very well, and when she saw Du Yansui's betrayal, she didn't ask Xiang Xiang, but said a few things: she was going to Yuchi's mansion to thank the old Duke.Yan Wan went to Cui's house, how could she tell Zhang that it would not irritate her.

"San Niang worked hard to take care of my mother. When she was in better spirits, I would tell her slowly. How long can it be delayed..." Du Yansui had no good idea.

After resigning from the old lady, Du Yansui took Cen Sanniang's hand and walked to the gate of Guiyanju, and said apologetically, "I have something to do with Hei Qi, don't wait for me tonight, go to bed first."

"Is it because of Yan Wan?" Cen Sanniang asked.

Du Yansui nodded: "It's always good to be more prepared. It's going to be very late, so sleep when you're sleepy, don't wait."

Cen Sanniang nodded and told him: "Be careful."

Watching Du Yansui walking away with the lantern, Cen Sanniang sighed softly, and said to A Qiuxiachu: "Second girl is going to Cui's house tomorrow. Let's go to bed later at night, call Fengchun and Nuandong, and turn the page. Check out the boxes and cages to see what you can prepare."

The second maid agreed.

Du Yansui didn't come back until dawn, didn't bother to knock on the door, and went into the room through the back window.

He couldn't help being taken aback when he entered the house, the lights were still on.He sneaked around from behind to take a look, and couldn't help shaking his head.Cen Sanniang sat on the Arhat couch and fell asleep with a big burden in her arms.

He stepped forward and took the bundle from her hand.Cen Sanniang woke up with a start: "Are you back?"

Du Yansui reached out to pick her up and moved her to the bed, took off her shoes and said softly, "Sleep a little longer, it's getting late, and I have to go to the palace to work. Everything is settled, don't worry."

Cen Sanniang hummed, took off her coat, curled up on the bed and fell asleep again.

Du Yansui bowed his head and kissed her face, then pulled the quilt over her.Washed up hastily, changed clothes and left.

Cen Sanniang specifically told her to call her.He got up at Maoshi, took the girl and went to Zhengqi hall with the things prepared for Du Yanwan.

Du Yanwan has already arrived.She was wearing a light blue dark floral silk shirt with large sleeves and a white high-waisted skirt.The hair is tied up in a bun and tied with a jasper hairpin.

Cen Sanniang seldom saw her dressed so elegantly, like a new lotus blooming in blue waves, graceful and graceful.He suddenly remembered that when Le Youyuan first met Du Yanwan that year, she was bickering with Wei Xiaoqing, dressed in bright colors, holding a long bow with horns, how high-spirited she was.She also remembered that the two of them went to the peony party. Du Yanwan was wearing a Hu suit and a beard hat, with a bright yellow rose on her temples.The nose is a little sour.

"Grandmother. These are the clothes I packed for Yan Wan." Cen Sanniang looked at A Qiu who was holding a bundle, and said, "I'm afraid it's not good for Yan Wan to be surrounded by Duo Er. I want her to put A Qiu Bring it. Aqiu is smart, and learned some cooking skills from Fang's mother. She won't be troubled by making some food after arguing."

"Sister-in-law!" Du Yanwan knew that the only people brought by Cen Sanniang were Ah Qiu and Xia Chu, and the other two were still young.Heart bursts moved.

"Duo'er and Aqiu are still young. You keep Aqiu as envoy. Duo'er was brought by Yan Wan since she was a child, so I will take Duo'er. There are other arrangements in the house." Mrs. Du is old, and finally I like to see the harmony at home.Cen Sanniang's affection for Yan Wan made the old lady feel very warm.

Since the old lady said that there is an arrangement, Cen Sanniang no longer insists.

After finishing breakfast, the second door sent someone to send a message: "The patriarch and the second old man are here."

Mrs. Du couldn't help being startled, she silently ordered to open the main door to receive guests in the front yard.

Cen Sanniang and Du Yanwan accompanied the old lady there.

Haoqi Hall was actually full of people.The uncle of the first room brought his whole family, and the old man of the second room brought his fourth son and three daughters-in-law.
