Chapter 398: Bypassing the cousin to fight for favor

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Boss Lou Shaokang, who woke up from his sleep, was unwilling and replied in a daze: "Cui Qi? This little slave is not sleeping at home at this time. Why did he come to my house to find me? Let him go away and don't disturb me.

Clear dream."

He clicked his lips and squinted his eyes, waving to the concubine: "Beauty, come here quickly..."

The concubine said sweetly: "Young Master, Cui Qi said that this is an important matter that concerns you. He did not dare to delay for a moment, so he reported to you late at night. If he were delayed, I am afraid something would be seriously wrong.

You'd better get up first and listen to what Cui Qi has to say."

Lou Shaokang rubbed his eyes and said: "Forget it, let's hear what he has to report. If it's some trivial matter, I want him to look good. Beauty, come and help me get dressed."

The concubine knew that the matter was urgent, so she hurriedly stepped forward to dress Lou Shaokang. Her movements were considered deft, but Lou Shaokang was very fat and it was really inconvenient to dress, so she wasted some time.

At this time, there was movement outside the courtyard, and occasionally there were sounds of fierce quarrels.

Lou Shaokang knew that the discipline of the Lou Mansion was extremely strict, and the servants were not allowed to make loud noises at night. Such noises would only be made when something serious happened. From this point of view, Cui Qiji might have something urgent to report.

.

However, for a while, he couldn't think of any time when he had asked Cui Qi to do something. He always asked Manager Cui to do anything he wanted to do. What was the reason for Cui Qi rushing into Lou's house at night in such a hurry?

The concubine Jiao Didi urged insinuatingly: "Young Master, please raise your legs, we have to hurry up, otherwise there won't be a quarrel outside."

Lou Shaokang was not panicked. He always thought that with the current situation, no one could do anything to him. Even if someone targeted him and the Lou family, they were just some unscrupulous people who just wanted to take advantage and should not be able to make a big splash.

He turned around and told his concubine: "Go and ask someone to prepare hot water. I'll be back soon to take a bath."

He is obese and will sweat profusely if he makes the slightest movement. If he does not take a bath in time, his whole body will feel uncomfortable.

When the concubine heard the words, she agreed and walked out of the door quickly.

The disciple surnamed Chu outside the door was still waiting anxiously. After receiving a positive reply, he crossed his hands and saluted and hurried to the gate to pass the news.

Cui Qi was originally a ruthless character, but he had been under the shadow of his cousin Cui Guanshi over the years and had restrained himself.

At this time, seeing his cousin's men unable to stop him, his temper also rose, and he immediately pushed and shoved him.

The servants also refused to give in, and the conflict was about to break out.

The disciple named Chu hurriedly turned around to look around, but he still didn't see Young Master coming, so he couldn't help but become more and more anxious.

At this time, Lou Shaokang finally got dressed and did not go out directly. Instead, he walked to the bronze mirror on the stage.

A chubby face appeared in the bronze mirror.

Although his face was a little dim in the candlelight, his facial features were still visible, but they looked a little distorted.

Lou Shaokang applied some powder on his face and looked at himself for a while. Until he was satisfied, he stood up and slowly went out.

While Cui Qiye and his servants were having a heated argument, a rough shout came from the inner courtyard: "Is there any more rules for making loud noises late at night?"

Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Lou Shaokang slowly walking over with small square steps. He first scolded everyone, and they all knelt down.

Lou Shaokang looked down at the crowd and said loudly: "Cui Qi, follow me to the inner house."

"Here!" Cui Qi stood up proudly, glared at the disciples and servants, and followed Lou Shaokang away.

In the hall, Lou Shaokang seemed a little tired. In just a while, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He sat down slowly and his face suddenly sank.

"Cui Qi, you broke into my mansion in the middle of the night. If there is nothing important, I will not spare you!"

Cui Qi quickly knelt down and said, "I have disturbed Mr. Shao Lang's dream. It is indeed a capital crime for me. But the matter is urgent. I have to report it to Mr. Shao Lang even at the risk of losing my head."

Lou Shaokang was so choked by the smell of alcohol all over his body that he frowned: "It's verbose, just say it."

Only then did Cui Qi explain the matter.

He only said that he had heard that his cousin Cui Guanshi was not doing things well, so he went to Songhe Tower to help Mr. Shao Lang. Unexpectedly, the people in Songhe Tower also had a tough attitude, but he did not give up and went

Madam's mansion, and with her unremitting efforts, Madam finally let go of her grudge and confided her true feelings to Young Master.

In short, he accomplished this all by himself.

Cui Qi carefully handed his wife's autographed letter to Lou Shaokang in his arms.

Lou Shaokang took the letter with a smile, and a fragrance suddenly hit his nostrils.

After receiving the letter, Cui Qi did not open it and read it without authorization. He understood that this was written by his wife to Mr. Lou Shaolang, and he was not qualified to do so.

At this time, he was just observing Lou Shaokang's expression carefully.

Lou Shaokang looked at each word word by word, and saw that the handwriting on the letter was beautiful, and his words were full of helplessness and affection. Although he knew Lou Shaokang's thoughts, he said that his husband had not been dead for a long time. If it were another time at this time,

Looking for a new love is not something that people will laugh at.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, although the society was not as harsh on widows as in later generations, at least they needed face. They couldn't throw themselves into their arms in a blink of an eye before their bones were cold.

That would be a stab in the spine.

Lou Shaokang nodded repeatedly. A loving and righteous woman, this is the woman he wants.

In addition, the letter also mentioned his understanding and opinions about Lou Shaokang. This opinion is unique and reaches the depths of Lou Shaokang's heart.

Although there were many wives and concubines in the house, they all obeyed his words, and over time they became tired of aesthetics.

A woman like Madam is more to his liking.

Lou Shaokang felt for a moment that he had found his soul mate in this life.

The one who understands me is Madam!

I read it three times in a row, and the more I read, the happier I became. Until I finally put the letter signed "Axiu" on the tip of my nose and smelled it, as if I was smelling the lady's faint body fragrance, my expression was very intoxicated.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Axiu must be the lady’s maiden name.

Cui Qi was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything, especially when he saw Lou Shaokang sniffing the letter, he even lowered his head.

Finally, Lou Shaokang put down the letter and said: "Cui Qi, you have done a good job in this matter. I will reward you heavily. Before you leave the house, you can go to the cabinet and withdraw two copper coins."

Cui Qi quickly thanked him for the reward, but what he wanted was not the two guan of reward money. He was pretty capable of dealing with it, and he couldn't find the two guan of money anywhere.

Seeing that Cui Qi seemed to have something to say, Lou Shaokang chuckled and said, "I know what you mean. I hope you will be loyal to me and be diligent in doing errands. Please stay by my side from now on!"

Cui Qiyi was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly kowtowed to thank him.

If you can listen to Lou Shaokang's side, your future career will be just around the corner. This step is considered to be the right one for you.

While I was overjoyed, I couldn't help but think of Chen's singing in my heart.

Although Cui Qi didn't know what was written in the letter, just based on Lou Langjun's expression at that time, he guessed that what his wife wrote must be in line with Lou Langjun's thoughts.

Chen Langjun was indeed a man who could get things done, and he convinced the woman with just a few words.

If it were Cui Qi himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so neat and tidy.

It seems that this Chen Langjun will have a good time making friends in the future.

"Okay, you go down first!"

"promise!"

Cui Qigang was about to leave, when Lou Shaokang asked again: "Is this letter indeed delivered to you by Madam herself?"

Cui Qi nodded repeatedly, and he automatically passed Chen Chang over. He only said that he had spent a lot of effort to get this letter from his wife.

The smile on Lou Shaokang's face became even thicker, and then he asked Cui Qi to step back.

After leaving Lou Shaokang's bedroom, Cui Qizhi felt that his body felt much lighter and he hummed a ditty proudly.
