Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Autumn is getting stronger, and the old lady's birthday is coming soon. The eldest lady ordered people to start decorating.

On the old lady's birthday, the celebration and bustle in the house was not much worse than on Cui Qishao's wedding day. All the families who are related by marriage and have good relations with the Duke of Dingguo came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.

The old lady sat on the main seat in high spirits, smiling from ear to ear as she listened to the congratulatory messages from the juniors.

Prince Kang's Crown Princess came with her children. She was the most distinguished among the guests and was invited to take a seat.

The third lady's brother Shen Shen also came with his son Shen Zhiming.

Shen Zhiming is handsome and talented. In the autumn period that just passed, he became a blockbuster and won Jieyuan, which spread throughout the capital. So he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came out.

The old lady looked at the polite young man below and praised: "This generation of the Shen family has produced another great talent, and there is hope for his successor."

Shen Shen was the Minister of Household Affairs at the time, and his position in the court was also very important. He said modestly: "The old lady is ridiculous. Quanzi has just passed the provincial examination, but the prince of your noble family has been awarded Jinshi and Wutanhua at his age. Quanzi cannot compare."

"Alas, Brother Shen is too modest," Cui Jun said, "I think your son will become a great person in the future."

"Then I would like to borrow Duke Ding's auspicious words." Shen Shen and Shen Zhiming then took their seats.

The eldest lady nodded silently. Ever since Cui Yaying's marriage was brought up, she had deliberately observed those sons and daughters of marriageable age. Today was a rare opportunity, and most of the people who came were well-informed people, so she had to pay careful attention.

Little did she know that the second lady had the same thoughts as her, and Cui Yawei had also reached the age to get engaged.

The second lady’s natal family also came.

The Xie family has a big business, their clothes are similar to those of the second lady, and they are dazzlingly wealthy. The birthday gift I received was also very real, it was a pure gold birthday peach.

The old lady narrowed her eyes and expressed her gratitude impartially.

The second wife felt that her parents were fighting for her, so she raised her chin high.

After presenting the gifts to the old lady, the birthday banquet started, with men and women seated separately.

After the birthday banquet, the eldest lady invited the female relatives to listen to the play in another pavilion. This year is the old lady’s [-]th birthday, and the performance is bigger than before. The eldest lady specially invited the best opera troupe in the capital.

Because of Huang Yan's incident, Cui Yaying did not leave the table easily even though it was daytime. Even when she went out, she took Yunling and Yuzhu with her who were waiting outside.

In the evening, the guests left one after another, and the old lady's birthday was successfully completed.

Everyone in the house was also tired and went back to their rooms to rest.

Cui Jun and the eldest lady were sitting on the couch talking.

The eldest lady said happily: "Today I saw that there are two sons who are very good."

Cui Jun immediately took over, "What you want to say is the Gu family and the Shen family."

"Do you also think the two of them are suitable for Yaying?" The rare tacit understanding between the two made the eldest lady's eyes light up.

"The two boys are pretty good, but they are just so-so if they match up with my daughter." Cui Jun took a sip of tea.

"Virtue," the eldest lady couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw him like that, "your daughter, my son, is also top-notch in everything."

The eldest lady counted them one by one, "The Gu family of Chuanning Marquis has been friends with our family for three generations. We have watched Gu Zhan grow up. Although he is not the eldest son and will not be able to inherit the title in the future, the child has studied abroad in the past few years. With good martial arts skills,

In the future, whether he works in Beijing or goes into battle, his future will not be bad. "

"It's just a martial artist." Cui Junyan summed it up concisely and comprehensively.

The eldest lady glared, "What's wrong with the martial artist? You weren't a martial artist when I married you?!"

Cui Jun was startled and forgot about this. He immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "You can be a martial artist like me."

The eldest lady ignored him and continued: "Not to mention the Shen family, being able to become an in-law is a matter of in-laws. You also said that Shen Zhiming will become a great man in the future. He often came to our house when he was young and talked to us. Yaying can be considered a childhood sweetheart."

"Childhood sweethearts?" Cui Jun felt his teeth tingle after hearing this, "We've only met a few times. Playing together when we were kids is nothing, and they don't understand. And what I said was polite at the time. Who can say whether it will work or not? ?”

Once again being undermined by him, the eldest lady became angry, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Why don't you tell me who else in Da Yin can be worthy of your precious daughter?"

Cui Jun quickly comforted them: "Madam, please don't be angry. Just say good things to them. After all, Madam has no say in how she chooses a husband."

The eldest lady chuckled and said, "Stop putting gold on your face."

Cui Jun stopped joking and said, "If you really want to choose among them, you have to ask Yaying if she is willing. After all, he is her husband-in-law. It will take a lifetime. She has to be the one to choose."

"That's natural. I have never seen blind marriage, so how could I do this to my own child? How about I ask her tomorrow?"

Cui Jun was speechless, "You just ask her directly, which one does she like?"

"Then what's the matter? There's nothing we can't say, Yaying isn't that kind of person.

A naughty child. "The eldest lady said it is a matter of course.

"After all, this is your daughter's house. If you mention the important matter of marriage so suddenly, aren't you afraid that she will be at a loss and be shy and choose neither of the two?"

"You're right," the eldest lady thought for a while, "Since she can't tell her directly, let her have more contact with them first, and then I will guide her slowly. What about this idea?"

The eldest lady felt that her idea was not very good.

Cui Jun became anxious after hearing this, "More contact? How do you want them to contact you? How unbecoming is this!"

"Where are you thinking? I didn't say let them meet alone, and I wouldn't agree to it. What I mean is to deliberately create some opportunities for them to meet. Of course, there must be a lot of people present, and let them do something together. It’s better to understand each other.”

Cui Jun thought elsewhere, "Just like when we first met in the paddock?"

The eldest lady's face showed a girlish shyness, "I'm talking about my daughter."

Cui Jun laughed, "Madam's idea is very good."

The eldest lady immediately got up and sat down, "That's it, I have to figure out how to get them together."

"Madam, don't be so anxious, right?" Cui Jun wanted to reach out to pull her, but he didn't even touch the corner of her clothes.

The eldest lady walked out without looking back, "Why are you not in a hurry? Many people are watching Hao Erlang. I have to make a decision for Yaying first."

Cui Jun lowered his hand, feeling as if he had lost both his wife and his army. He wanted to give away a daughter, and even his wife didn't bother to accompany him.

It's good to have a daughter, but why do you want to marry so early? Just like men, isn't it bad to think about these things after you are twenty?

Only in my heart

Duke Dingguo, who was secretly poking at the complaint, sighed alone in his room.
