After Cui Ying heard that her uncle was going to the north, she couldn't stand still. She knew that if she didn't speak now, she would have no chance in the future. She took a deep breath to encourage herself.
"Brother, I also want to go to the north." Cui Ying's words silenced the room. Seeing everyone looking over, she concealed the panic in her heart, "Master took me and eldest brother in. We can't repay our kindness, so Cui Ying is going
I take care of the master in the north. I heard that the conditions there are very poor, but I don’t need to be afraid. I’ll just leave my eldest brother here at the drug store and let me repay the master on my behalf.”
Feeling guilty after being seen by everyone, she lowered her head with red eyes, "My eldest brother and I depended on each other. It was our master who took us in, so we had a family. We are grateful to our master all our lives. How could our master go there and suffer while we live a comfortable life here?"
."
Hearing these words, Cui Hao had the biggest reaction. He stood up excitedly, took his sister's hand, and nodded vigorously, "My sister is right, we can't repay a favor without repaying it."
Confirming his thoughts, Cui Hao pulled his sister to kneel on the ground, "Master, let Cui Ying go with you. With her beside you bringing tea and pouring water, your subordinates will feel more at ease. Otherwise, Master's great kindness
Great Virtue, my subordinates deserve this."
After saying this, he kowtowed repeatedly.
Cui Ying was also busy kowtowing to her eldest brother, and couldn't help complaining in her heart. Is this the case? Her eldest brother also worked very hard all day long. If he hadn't been here, how would the pharmacy have been able to open? In terms of repaying the kindness, she had also finished repaying it.
What I mentioned just now is just an invitation to follow him, so that I can have a chance to get close to my uncle.
According to my uncle's words, I will not take my uncle's wife with me, so this opportunity cannot be missed.
After looking at it, my eldest brother became really grateful, so much so that he had to kneel down too.
Mu Lingxue did not expect this, "Cui Hao, get up quickly. Didn't we just agree to buy a house for your brother and sister in the city? Why did it end up like this again? It's very cold in the north, and it's cold all year round.
It's cold weather and summer is short. You only have this little sister, so you'd better let her stay by your side. I don't lack people around me either."
Then he told Shuizhu, "Hurry up and help the person up."
Qiangwei stepped forward first, helped Cui Hao up, and pulled Cui Ying at the same time. After the two siblings stood up, Qiangwei glanced at Cui Hao before returning to her original position. Seeing Shuizhu looking at her strangely, she couldn't help but blush.
head.
Shuizhu's eyes flashed slightly and he secretly looked towards his master. Mu Lingxue also noticed this scene and didn't think much about it at first. But when she saw the look in Shuizhu's direction, she started to think twice.
She suddenly thought, "Cui Hao, you are quite young, have you ever thought about getting married?"
Suddenly jumping to this topic, Mu Lingxue saw that everyone in the room was paying attention to her, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "Cui Hao is not young anymore, and it's time to get married. If it were the man next to him,
I have already started a family at this age, and I don’t know when I will be able to come back from my trip to the north. I think it’s better to get married before I leave.”
Lin Chengzhi clapped his hands and applauded, "Yes, Cui Hao, do you have someone you like?"
Cui Ying also felt that this was a big deal. She looked at her brother. She felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone. Cui Hao blushed, "I, I spend all day in the drug store and don't interact with anyone. How can I like anyone?"
Shuizhu was different from others. He kept staring at Qiangwei secretly. Hearing Cui Hao's answer, Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile. When did this girl fall in love with Cui Hao again? If she hadn't discovered it this time.
.
"Have you ever thought about what kind of woman you want to marry? Are there any requirements such as family status?" After Mu Lingxue finished speaking, she glanced at Qiangwei meaningfully.
Qiangwei's face turned red, she lowered her head and twisted her clothes. She also knew that her actions had made her master aware of her just now. What touched her was that his master could ask about this right away, thinking about her, and her nose felt sore.
Cui Hao scratched his head, "What kind of family background do I need? As long as people are not afraid of my poverty and are willing to live with me, that's all."
Seeing that she was a pragmatic person, Mu Lingxue was a little satisfied, "In that case, how about I make a decision for you? Qiangwei beside me has also reached the age of marriage, and she is capable and not afraid of hardship. You also agree
It's been a while, and although she is a slave now, I will return the deed of sale to her, and your children will be able to obtain academic honors in the future, what do you think?"
Half the people in the room heard this and finally understood.
They all know that Qiangwei is capable, and it is just right to be paired with Cui Hao.
Cui Ying was a little dissatisfied. Wasn't he still a servant before the deed of betrayal was burned? His family used to be a somewhat prestigious family. Although it has fallen into decline now, the eldest brother can't marry a servant, right?
Previously, Cui Ying was quite happy to hear her master proposing marriage to her eldest brother, but now she is unhappy. It turns out that she had hidden selfish motives.
Qiangwei blushed and stamped her feet, "Master just makes fun of the slave."
He raised his feet and ran out.
Lin Chengzhi pointed and laughed, "This is shame, Cui Hao, did you see that Qiangwei likes you?"
Cui Hao blushed and smiled stupidly.
Mu Lingxue saw that Cui Hao didn't show any displeasure after hearing that the person was Qiangwei. It seemed that it was not unintentional, which was even better. She didn't expect that a good thing would be accomplished today.
"Cui Hao, do you agree or not? Let me tell you." Lin Chengzhi followed closely.
Lin Chengzhi's temperament is that he loves to make trouble. How could he not miss the opportunity to tease Cui Hao?
Cui Ying hurriedly took over the words, "This affects my eldest brother for the rest of his life. I have to let my eldest brother think about it carefully. Why are you so anxious? If I ask you to marry me, will you marry me?"
Lin Chengzhi glared at him, "You don't want your eldest brother to get married?"
Cui Ying bit her lip. Although she didn't speak, she acquiesced.
The atmosphere was tense, and Mu Lingxue finally understood the problem of concept. Cui Hao's sister disliked Qiangwei's status as a servant. Fortunately, Qiangwei was not here, otherwise she would have hated Cui Ying.
Shuizhu also took a closer look at Cui Ying. Her facial features were small and delicate, and she looked very delicate when put together. She was considered a rare beauty.
Cui Hao shouted to his sister, "Yingying, don't be rude."
Then he raised his head seriously and said, "I have no dissatisfaction with you. Miss Qiangwei is very good. Everything is up to the master."
After Cui Ying's reminder, Mu Lingxue felt that things were too simple for her to make the decision anymore. Cui Hao saw his master's hesitation and said, "Master, I don't even have a home now.
For such a person, he would be satisfied if he could marry his subordinates. Miss Qiangwei is capable and does not dislike Cui Hao, which is Cui Hao's blessing in life."
Murong Gang, who had been silent until now, said softly, "I will make the final decision on their marriage."
With the general as a matchmaker, this is something no one else can ask for. In the future, no one will look down on Cui Hao for marrying a wife who has been a servant.
Cui Hao knelt down and thanked her again. Mu Lingxue smiled from ear to ear and pulled Shuizhu over, "Go and tell Qiangwei about this, otherwise I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it anymore."
Shuizhu smiled and went out.
Only then did Cui Hao take the initiative to speak, "Master, now that I want to marry Qiangwei, you only have Shuizhu by your side, so take Yingying with you."
Mu Lingxue nodded, "That's good. When Cui Ying grows up, I will find a good family for her."
Cui Ying was originally happy that her matter was done, but when she heard her master's words, she couldn't help but blush, and she no longer cared about her brother marrying a servant.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Lingxue ordered Shuizhu to arrange a place for everyone to sleep. Shuizhu asked Zhao Zisheng to come over. In this village, Zhao Zisheng was in charge of everything, and he knew a lot.
When there was no one else in the room, Mu Lingxue persuaded her brother, "Brother, why don't you go back and live there? You have to go to court tomorrow."
Murong Gang was writing the invitation to go to the north without raising his head, "It's okay, just get up early tomorrow and half an hour will be enough."
"Something happened at home. My sister-in-law doesn't have a backbone. Do you want to go back and have a look?" Lin Chengzhi said that the incident during the day was not a big deal, and the house must be in chaos at this time.
Murong Gang remained silent, that house used to be considered a home with his sister, but now he is about to leave with his sister, and it is no longer a home.
Seeing that her brother was silent, Mu Lingxue didn't give much advice and ordered Shuizhu beside her, "Put two more charcoal basins in my uncle's room, leave a crack in the window, and just put the charcoal basins under the outer window."
, when we buy things for Qiangwei to get married, we have to go to the city. Your marriage contract is still in Prince Rui’s hands, I’ll go get it back.”
"Otherwise I'll go." Murong Gang raised his head.
Mu Lingxue smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. When the time comes, I will walk in through the front door openly. I won't think much about what others want to say. After all, if there is anything, I won't go in through the front door, and I'm going to ask for two
I believe someone who is interested will find out the girl’s contract of sale by asking about it.”
"Well, I heard from the letter sent by Chen Wu that Prince Rui has also traveled from the south of the Yangtze River. He has arrived in Beijing long ago. As for why he concealed his whereabouts, it has something to do with the marriage arranged by the queen."
Mu Lingxue was curious and didn't want to disturb her brother when he saw that he was writing a memorial. Shuizhu had heard about it and after talking about it, she realized that there was such a thing. She thought that a person like Prince Rui would definitely not marry such a woman.
of.
No wonder Prince Rui didn't want anyone to spread the news when he came back. He must have been thinking of countermeasures to disrupt the marriage. Mu Lingxue was surprised when someone like Prince Rui could be driven into a state of impatience.
Thinking about the scene with Prince Rui on the first night, Mu Lingxue took a deep breath. Her identity was different between before and now, and Prince Rui couldn't do anything to her.
After sending her brother away half an hour later, Mu Lingxue pulled Shuizhu over and asked, "What did Qiangwei say after hearing this?"
"Qiangwei said that she would be grateful to her master all her life." In fact, she said a lot, saying that she almost made a wrong step in the beginning.
Shuizhu felt that if she could see through and understand, then it was all in the past, and there was no need to talk about it anymore, so he finally felt relieved for her.
