Chapter 109 The toad climbs the high branch

Cui Jie is only eighteen years old this year, she is still a girl.

Girls' feelings are always poetry, and their thoughts and souls always jump repeatedly between reality and dreams.

Most of them will not have any feelings about their family and country, but they will definitely long for their own lifelong happiness.

There is only sunshine and beauty in their vision, as if there is no trace of gloom and darkness in the rest of their lives.

Cui Jie's purpose of staying in Ganjing Village may be to observe her future husband, but it is also to fulfill her poetic girlish feelings.

Her future husband may not necessarily be an unparalleled hero, and he may not necessarily ride on colorful clouds to marry her, but at least he has a kind heart and will never leave her.

Cui Sheng knows his sister very well. He knows that her character is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Her pride, education, and knowledge are all for outsiders to see.

The real Cui Jie was still like a child in front of him. She would cry when she was wronged, and she would grin regardless of her manners when she was happy. When her brother and sister quarreled, she would sit alone and sulk until he went to comfort her, and she immediately laughed out loud.

Voice.

The sister in Cui Sheng's eyes is completely different from the Cui Jie in the eyes of outsiders.

In front of him, Cui Jie behaved like a normal woman, full of flesh and blood, smiling and crying.

In the eyes of outsiders, Cui Jie is the daughter of the head of the Cui family in Qingzhou. She is well-educated and dignified in dealing with people and things. She is a model for all ladies.

Running away from marriage was perhaps the only rebellious and outrageous thing she had ever done in her life.

Looking at Cui Jie's firm expression, Cui Sheng knew that no matter how he tried to persuade her, it would be of no avail.

None of the nine cows could take back what she had decided, just as she was as decisive as leaving the Cui family without saying a word this time.

Cui Sheng dotes on this sister very much, he dotes on her to the core.

He really couldn't bear to refuse his sister's decision. From the bottom of his heart, he actually didn't want her to return to the Cui family in Qingzhou. Going back would mean compromising with her family, meaning she would have to marry that dude from the Li family, which would mean falling headlong into the trap.

fire pit.

"Since you have decided, I won't say more." Cui Sheng sighed dejectedly.

Cui Jie begged: "Brother, don't reveal my whereabouts to father, okay?"

Cui Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "I have never seen you today, and I will never know your whereabouts unless you voluntarily reveal your whereabouts."

Cui Jie smiled: "Thank you, brother, I was willful. Now that it's over, I'll apologize to brother."

"Why do you and I have to say these things that are foreign to each other..." Cui Sheng paused and said curiously: "But I am very strange. You ran away from your marriage. Why did you escape to the Li family's village? What is the meaning of this move?

?”

Cui Jie showed a helpless smile.

"Why does everyone in the know ask this question..." Cui Jie sighed dejectedly.

When she ran away from marriage, she was as frightened as a bereaved dog. There was no deep meaning. As for why she fled to Li's village, two words can explain it, "Dianbei".

Cui Jie reluctantly recounted all her experiences after leaving home, including meeting Li Qinzai, inheriting several favors from him, etc.

Cui Sheng's face changed several times after hearing this, but finally he took a deep breath and said: "I really don't know whether I should say you have a good life or a bad life. A young lady from an aristocratic family ran away from home and lost all her money. How can she still live in peace and stability?"

Today is simply a miracle..."

Cui Jie blushed and whispered: "I already knew I was wrong. Now Congshuang and I depend on each other and our lives can go on. The most important thing is that I feel relaxed and have the relief of escaping from the prison. No matter how much suffering I suffer,

value."

Cui Sheng rubbed her hair distressedly, and then his eyes showed anger.

That bastard from the Li family clearly knew his sister's true identity, but just now he lied to him about how she was born and raised in Zhuangzi and was becoming more and more sophisticated.

This bastard openly teased his sister in front of him and told lies so seriously that he deserves to be killed by a thousand cuts!

谷/span> "That's all, if Jie'er wants to stay, then just stay. The folk customs in the British village are simple, and the current world is peaceful and clear. You won't be in danger if you stay here." Cui Sheng said helplessly.

Cui Jie whispered: "Thank you, brother."

Cui Sheng sighed: "You look weak, but your temper is very strong. I can't persuade you, so I have to let you go."

Reaching into his arms, Cui Sheng took out all the money on his body and held it in Cui Jie's hand.

"With my brother here, you won't have to work so hard in the future. Hurry up and buy some new clothes and some meat. I will bring some money when I return to Chang'an. How can people from the Cui family live in such embarrassment?"

Just as Cui Jie was about to refuse, Cui Sheng said seriously: "Do you have to be polite to your brother?"

Only then did Cui Jie accept the money, and her expression seemed to be much more relaxed.

These days, Congshuang and I depended on each other, and we lived in poverty. Now that we have a brother, we will no longer suffer.

A lady from an aristocratic family is pampered. Compared with the difficult days of doing embroidery day and night to make a living, having money naturally means you don’t have to work so hard. Who doesn’t want to live a more relaxed life?

"That boy from the Li family, don't get too close to him. I've seen him twice. He doesn't look like a good person." Cui Sheng snorted.

Cui Jie smiled: "Whether he is good or bad, I have to see it with my own eyes."

…………

Li Qinzai got up early in the morning, looking sleepy and yawning.

The maid brought a bowl of hot goat's milk and gave it to Qiao'er. Li Qinzai stared at Qiao'er as he drank it in one sip before looking away.

Goat milk cannot be weaned and must be drank every day. This age is when Qiaoer is laying the foundation for his body. If he grows up to be malnourished, he will be an incompetent father.

When he came to the front yard, Li Qinzai looked up and observed the direction of the sun, preparing to ask his servants to bring in a deck chair so that he could take a nap while basking in the sun.

This is Manager Song coming over with a smile on his face and a white embroidered picture in his hand.

"Fifth Young Master, two girls came here last night and gave this thing to the concierge, saying it was for the Fifth Young Master to thank him for saving his life."

The two girls last night were naturally Cui Jie and Cong Shuang, who originally came to give gifts. Who knew they happened to see Cui Sheng in the front yard last night, so Cui Jie and Cong Shuang turned around and ran away, leaving the gifts to be handed over.

The two women had always despised Li Qinzai, but they didn't expect that they knew the etiquette and actually took the initiative to give gifts. Obviously the mushrooms they picked yesterday were really unreliable, so they saved their lives.

Li Qinzai took the embroidery picture and frowned: "What the hell?"

The patterns are beautifully embroidered and can be said to be lifelike.

There is a toad above, holding a branch, looking up at the sky with a vulgar expression. If you look closely, you can see that the toad has three legs...

Li Qinzai opened his mind, thought for a long time, and then got angry.

"You are mocking me as a toad, because I am too high up to marry her? It's just a toad, but isn't three legs too much?" Li Qinzai gritted his teeth and said: "Cui Jie, you are going too far! Manager Song, send someone to help me.

Burn down the house she lives in!"

Manager Song did not move. He murmured his lips a few times and finally couldn't help but said: "Fifth Young Master, this embroidered picture means 'Golden Toad Wins the Crown', which means very auspicious, symbolizing fame and a prominent career."

Li Qinzai was stunned: "Didn't you mean to call me a toad?"

Manager Song smiled bitterly and said, "That's not true."
