Chapter 101 Warmth
Cui Wei is talking about the prince.
The Taiyuan Prefecture Office received the news that the prince would enter the city tomorrow.
The prince naturally came to clean up the mess so that the case would not be in control in the capital. However, when the prince set out to Taiyuan, the emperor had not received any evidence from the Tieshan Mine, otherwise it would be blocked. When the prince came, the situation in Taiyuan Prefecture might change again.
Cui Zhen looked at Cui Wei: "What do you want to do?" There was a little more majesty in his eyes.
Cui Wei immediately lowered his head: "I'm just angry. I've reached this point. No matter what our family does, the Wei-s surnamed will not let it go. It's better..."
"What's worse?" Cui Zhen said coldly, "Travel to the prince?"
"Of course not," Cui Wei raised his eyes again, with a calm expression. "If you don't defect to the prince, you can sue Wei Yuanchen, so that everyone knows that Wei Yuanchen uses his power to abuse his power."
Cui Zhen suddenly smiled, his expression was not fierce, but it made people feel chilled when they looked at him: "After working on it for a long time, I will teach you such a fool, what kind of thing are you? You want to use the prince to suppress Wei Yuanchen and then not serve the prince. Do you think you can get out of here without mercy?
When my father tied you up and beat you up, I shouldn’t have persuaded you. I will teach you a lesson and let you know what duty is."
The room was quiet for a moment.
Although Cui Zhen is majestic on weekdays, he never scolds Cui Wei in front of so many people. Both brothers always look kind and look at each other. Today, he suddenly spoke harshly, which made everyone stunned.
Cui Wei's eyes turned red in an instant, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze: "Brother... do you think my father did the right thing back then? My father used to hit me, but my elder brother always protected me. I thought my elder brother did not agree with my father's approach."
"What my father did was a bit too much, and not all of them were wrong," Cui Zhen said. "I was afraid of touching your sad things. I have always taught you patiently over the years. What will happen in the end? You were asked to look at your mother, but you just followed her wishes and now you have to show kindness to the prince. If this continues, not only will Cui not be able to protect him, but the soldiers of Datong and Xuanfu will also be cleaned. How many people will be implicated for the sake of his mother's mistake?
You go back and think carefully and then come to talk to me.”
Cui Wei pursed his lips and stood there silently for a while, trying to say something, but seeing that Cui Zhen had turned his head and had to turn around and leave the house.
After a while, everyone was almost gone, and Cui Zhen sat on the chair.
Mrs. Lin, who was outside, listened to the movement in the room and ordered the servants: "Pour a cup of tea to send it to the marquis."
Gu Mingzhu also felt strange. Why didn’t Cui Zhen leave with Cui Wei, but stayed here instead? Could it be that he didn’t want to go home to face Mrs. Lin?
Mrs. Lin sighed long: "Brother Zhen is not easy either."
Cui Zhen in the room looked at the white porcelain tea bowl. He knew he should leave, but he had a mess of thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't help but understand. Zhang wrote a letter from home, and the lines were full of self-blame. He also knew that his mother's affairs had nothing to do with Zhang. Zhang must not be able to stop his mother if she wanted to come to Taiyuan Prefecture, but was it really my mother's fault that the family was so messy?
He is not wrong?
Since his father died, he felt that the family was cold and no one could believe. After so many years of his death, his mansion had changed one after another, and there was never a shortage of women around him. However, he seemed to be still staying in the Cui family's ancestral home. Looking at his father lying on the bed panting, he could see his father's eyes full of anger and unwillingness as he raised his eyes.
Whenever something important happens, he will see his father's eyes. When he fights, inherits his title, moves into a new mansion, gets married, or even does that, those eyes will suddenly appear in his mind, giving him a deep sense of guilt.
Only when he is rushing for the Cui clan, guarding the border, and fighting for life and death, can he be at ease.
He forgives his mother not for being glorious and wealthy, but for the Cui family and the Cui family.
Cui Zhen sat like this, and it took him a lot of time to come back to his senses.
"Where is the madam?" Cui Zhen stood up and asked the mother in charge at the door.
"In the main room," said the manager's mother, "Mrs. I have come to see the Marquis several times. The Marquis is sitting there thinking about things. The Madam does not allow him to disturb him, but just told him to report to him when the Marquis comes out."
Cui Zhen nodded: "I'll go to the main house to meet my aunt." After that, he walked forward.
The yard of the Gu family is very small but is very uniquely decorated. There are many flowers and plants planted on both sides of the bluestone road, and flowers of various colors are blooming in clusters. Although they are not rare species, they are a bit warm. There is also a rope tied to the branches that are skewed by the wind, and a simple knot is tied to the rope.
Because of Zhuzhu's illness, my aunt did not have so much etiquette, but everything she saw seemed so vibrant.
Before Cui Zhen could enter the yard of the main house, Mrs. Lin brought the people to greet her: "Brother Zhen hasn't eaten yet, right? Why not eat here? Zhuzhu and I just made roasted wheat in the kitchen and will be steamed in a while."
Cui Zhen did not refuse: "Okay, then I'll bother my aunt."
Gu Mingzhu had just washed her hands and was about to have a good meal with her mother. Unexpectedly, Cui Zhen stayed. Cui Zhen's mood fluctuated a lot today, especially when he scolded Cui Wei, he mentioned the old marquis. Both of his brothers' expressions were a little unnatural.
Thinking about the words that Mother Qian and Mrs. Lin said... it is becoming more and more suspicious.
Although the two families are relatives, Mrs. Lin knew that Cui Zhen was very disciplined, she still ordered two tables to be divided.
Cui Zhen said: "If there is no one else here, don't be so troublesome. I haven't had a meal with my family for a long time."
After thinking about it, Mrs. Lin was determined by Cui Zhen.
Cui Zhen often eats roasted wheat in Datong, but for convenience, he can continue to work hard after eating. This is the first time he sits at the table and tastes it carefully.
Gu Mingzhu first picked up a roasted wheat into Mrs. Lin's plate, and Mrs. Lin also picked up one for her daughter. Although the two of them didn't say anything, there was a bit of joy in the room.
"Brother Zhen, try it," Mrs. Lin smiled when she saw Cui Zhen not moving her chopsticks, "There are also beads wrapped in it. Zhuzhu is smart and has a clever hand. She will learn it in a short while."
If Mrs. Lin's words were heard by others, they might have caused jokes from others, but Cui Zhen could see that his aunt was not coaxing Zhuzhu, but praised him sincerely.
Cui Zhen looked at his aunt and cousin from time to time, and they all showed freedom and joy in every move.
Before he knew it, Cui Zhen ate two plates of roasted wheat.
Mrs. Lin and Gu Mingzhu finished eating and sat aside to taste tea. Gu Mingzhu fiddled with the colum in her hands, which reminded Cui Zhen of what happened when she was a child. Once upon a time he had such a time.
True down-to-earth, happy, and don't be wary of anyone.
After dinner, Cui Zhen and Mrs. Lin went to the main room to talk, and Gu Mingzhu naturally followed.
Cui Zhen raised his head: "My mother brought Lin Runzhi to the door to force her aunt to plead for Zhao Gongren?"
Mrs. Lin thought for a moment: "I don't know much about this case. I'm afraid I'll do something wrong. I don't know if the Zhao family really bought and sold war horses privately. If it's the fact, I should check it clearly. After all, your uncle is guarding the pass in Suzhou Guards..."
"Auntie is right," Cui Zhen said, "just because my uncle guards the border, these things need to be investigated carefully. My mother will make suspicious of my uncle in this way. However, since the Zhao family discovered the accounts and the Zhao family opened the shop in Taiyuan Prefecture, it must be for the purpose of transit. Those war horses may have entered the Great Zhou from the northwest pass to the northwest pass, and someone will definitely know the inside story."
Gu Mingzhu picked up the candied fruit and put it in her mouth. When Cui Zhen said this, he should not be the one who bought a war horse with the Zhao family.
When Gu Mingzhu thought of this, she felt a gaze falling on her face. She subconsciously raised her head and met Cui Zhen's eyes.
"Don't eat so much candied fruit by Zhuzhu."
Gu Mingzhu paused, why did Cui Zhen think about it and care about her?
Baotong looked at the lady with bulging cheeks. Why did Master Hou manage so wide? How beautiful is the lady eating like this!
Speaking of candied fruit, I don’t know when there was an extra purse in her arms, which was full of candied fruits and candied fruits. Baotong looked at the sky. She always felt that this thing was rewarded by God, otherwise why was it just right to fall into her arms?
