Do good deeds without leaving your name

The improvement of Cui Yingying's physical and mental health is obvious to all. Mrs. Cui has to lament that Hongluan is really a capable girl. Now the next family is all members of the Cui family, and she has watched and trained her. She will definitely be with Xue in the future. Mei can also act as Cui Yingying's right-hand man. I'm afraid that her daughter is too soft-hearted and becomes a slave and bully...

Mrs. Cui has already begun to plan for the long term.

Hongluan didn't know this, but Miss Cui Yingying's affection for her was already going off the charts.

Perhaps the enlightenment that night really opened up Cui Yingying's second line of Ren and Du. She gradually changed her weak temperament that was not in line with the noble daughter of the Tang Dynasty. Walking around - the atmosphere of Datang is relatively open, and there are not many restraints on women.

Hongluan remembered a summary that she had read somewhere, which said that the stronger a certain dynasty was, the less disparity in social status between men and women.Although I don't know whether it is objective and comprehensive, Hongluan thinks it is very reasonable.

Cui Yingying was 16 years old and Zhenguan was 19 years old. It should have passed so peacefully.

Unexpectedly, one day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cui Xiang and Mrs. Cui said that they wanted to take in a maid from the side courtyard. Mrs. Cui was very surprised, her master hadn't added anyone to the side yard for a year or two, why...

In fact, no matter if one or ten beauties enter the courtyard now, Mrs. Cui's heart is already calm. She is too old to have children at all. It is recorded in my own name, I have been raised since childhood, and I will also be my daughter's backer in the future-this is worse than going to the Cui family to adopt an heir from a distant house, and the adoption is not as good as the master's blood and bones.

Therefore, it was no big deal for Cui Xiangguo to accept a maid.

After inquiring clearly about the ins and outs, I was even more relieved: the wild goose hunter asked Yan to cut his eyes, which is not comforting!

Why do you think Mrs. Cui relieved her anger?

The maid that Cui Xiang wants to accept is none other than Xiaolan, whose original name is Xiaolan, who changed Mrs. Lan's name and changed her name to Cao'er!

Cao'er was honed by Mrs. Lan for more than half a year, and she was reduced to a barefoot who tends flowers and trees.

But Cao'er has always been calm, and she is also a city man, much more calm than Qingniao, and she cleans it respectfully every day.

After a long time, Mrs. Lan couldn't remember that there was such a person in the yard.

Cao'er is one year older than Hongluan, she is fourteen years old this year, her body has already grown, and she looks in the mirror every day when she puts on her makeup and feels that her appearance is not inferior to Mrs. Lan's, not to mention that she is still young!

Holding back the breath of tormenting Madam Lan, Cao'er stood one night after the Mid-Autumn Festival on a path that the master always passed by.

When Cui Xiang passed by, he saw the bright moonlight, and a weak woman in green clothes stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, sniffing sweet-scented osmanthus, her brows were slightly frowned, and her full lips were pretty.

Cui Xiangnian is not confused, he has never seen any kind of trick, but thinking that the women in this courtyard are all his own, it has been a long time since he tried it.So he waved away the followers and changed his mind of going to Lan'er.

This night is exactly:

Fourteen brides and forty men, with pale hair and red makeup.The mandarin ducks are trapped in a double night, and a pear tree crushes the crabapple. (1)

Mrs. Lan waited and waited until the master came, but was told by the servants that it was that bitch Caoer who seduced the master away, and she tore several silk fans with hatred.

..............................

Back then, Mrs. Cui gave birth to Cui Yingying. When she was in confinement, she thought that instead of letting someone who doesn't know the details get the master's favor, it would be better to use the people around her.

After careful consideration, she used the usually honest and dull dowry maid, Mo Lan.

Who would have thought that little hoof would go wild as soon as he got his way, not only telling the master about the fact that he gave shelter to the people in the backyard, causing himself to be left out for more than a year, but also using the low-class prostitutes in the building The trick is to win over the master to go to her yard half a month out of a month.

At that time, "Mrs. Lan" was in the limelight so much that I had to avoid it.

In the past few years, the beauty of the little bitch has not been as good as before, and the master has gradually faded away from her.

Haha, I ended up being slapped and slapped in the face by my bare feet in my own yard.

For Mrs. Cui, this news is heart-warming.

Mrs. Cui arranged Cao'er's wing room opposite Mrs. Lan, and asked them to bow their heads but not look up to see them every day. Then she asked her servants to change her words, saying that Cao'er was green, and she changed her name to Mrs. Green - it was a flattery. She and Mrs. Lan fought in the ring.

Another table of noodles was set up, and Mrs. Lu passed the bright road in the mansion, and two little maids were assigned to serve her.

..............................

This is a good show in the side courtyard. I will appear on the stage after you sing.

Today is a headache, tomorrow is a brain fever, someone cooks sweet soup the day after tomorrow, and someone stews a tonic the next day, Cui Xiang sings every night, and every night is fragrant and happy.

But who would have thought that one day Cui Xiang had just finished his hard work on Lan'er, and wanted to rest for a while to pick up the gun and fight again, but when he pulled it out, he was suddenly startled, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, his mouth was drooling, and half of his body twitched endlessly.

She was so surprised that Mrs. Lan didn't have time to put on her clothes, so she wrapped herself in a quilt and went to call her maid.

In the middle of the night, the entire Cui Mansion was in chaos. After the doctor came to diagnose the pulse, he just sighed while looking at the room full of earnest-eyed female relatives.

Go outside and pick up a pen to open a prescription.

Mrs. Cui followed closely and asked how her master was doing.

The doctor said it was a stroke, the situation was not good, and he should do his best to obey the destiny.

After hearing the doctor's diagnosis, Yingying and Yanyan burst into tears.Mrs. Cui deeply hated these little goblins for squeezing the master dry to cause this result. She wished she could peel off the skins one by one to feed the dogs, gritted her teeth and scolded all the girls, and ordered Dongqing to seal the doctor's consultation fee, and asked the doctor to treat him with all his heart. .

However, stroke was basically an incurable disease in ancient times. The sage also sent an imperial doctor, but Cui Xiang's condition did not improve. backbone.

A few months gave Mrs. Cui a buffer. She was not so sad about Cui Xiang's death. It was this dead ghost who made things difficult for her. The daughter was not married yet, so this filial piety would have to be delayed!

Cui Yingying didn't think about her marriage, but she was deeply saddened by her father's death.

When Mrs. Cui was about to arrange for Master Cui's funeral, the head of the Cui family and the elders all rushed to Chang'an City.

The Qing and Cui clans were the first of seven families with five surnames in the current dynasty. Cui Xiang's branch had no incense, and the patriarch and elders must have disagreed.

Mrs. Cui forced her to die, and cried loudly in front of Master Cui's spirit. Before the master's body was cold, there was a person with ulterior motives, and the heirs who brought the incense were crooked melons and dates!

After all, the Cui family wanted face, so they took a step back, only saying that Mrs. Cui could participate in choosing an heir, but if they didn't continue, the future of the Cui family should be taken back to the public.

The Cui clan firmly insisted that if he was no more than a step-child, Master Cui would not be able to rest in peace under the nine springs, and no one would even throw a basin.

Mrs. Cui was so anxious that she sent a letter to her family.

After all, the Zheng family is one of the few great families, and the married woman was forced to be like this. Out of interest and reputation considerations, the Zheng family also intervened in this matter.

Poor Mr. Cui, who was a dignified prime minister in front of him, has no peace after his death.

..............................

The two families negotiated, and in the end the selection of the heir was postponed, and the decision will be made after Rexiao.

Because it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the corpse can be preserved for a long time, and according to the rules, it will be suspended for 21 days (the maximum number of days on the seventh day can reach 49 days).

Crying and mourning day and night, and having to preside over family affairs, Mrs. Cui couldn't bear it even if she was hardened, and finally fell ill.

Mrs. Cui's illness made Cui Yingying even more confused. It's okay to talk about the affairs of the inner house, and it's inconvenient for her as an unmarried daughter to take care of the reception outside.

Fortunately, because of the female relatives of Cui's family, the guests who were upset would leave early.

On this day, Cui Yingying came up to serve her mother with her soup.

Madam Cui stretched out her withered hand and patted the back of her daughter's hand: "These days are hard for Yingniang."

"Mother, I'm not suffering. As long as my mother gets better soon, Yingying will not suffer." Cui Yingying looked at her mother who seemed to have been wrinkled overnight and her hair was full of hair, and couldn't help but her eyes were red.

"These days, are the people in the side courtyard still doing well?" Mrs. Cui asked Dongqing beside her.

"If you go back to Madam, you will be very peaceful." Dongqing also boiled until her eyes were green.

"Don't worry about them, grasshoppers after autumn." Mrs. Cui's expression turned pale when she mentioned the group of Yingying and Yanyan. "But the Cui family is really deceiving people too much. Don't they take my Zheng family seriously?"

Dongqing looked at Mrs. Cui's face, and said hesitantly: "The old man and the old woman said..."

"What did father and mother say?" Mrs. Cui raised her veil and covered her mouth and coughed a few times. Seeing Dongqing's reserved expression, "I understand, the Zheng family can't interfere too much. This heir must be adopted, I just don't want to The wish of those villains has been fulfilled so quickly."

..............................

Mrs. Cui really has a plan in her heart. Although she has aged a lot after being ill, her spirit has returned. After negotiating with the elders of the Cui clan, she adopted an heir from a long-lost side branch of Qinghe. , is a milk doll under one year old, in the words of Mrs. Cui, "only in this way can it be well-raised".

Although the other members of the Cui clan who didn't benefit had some grievances, but Cui Xiangguo left and the tea was not cold, even if there were only widows and orphans left, it was not so easy to deal with.In the end, Mrs. Cui's strong request was complied with. In the spring of the 20th year of Zhenguan, people were sent to Qinghe to bring the baby to Chang'an.

The genealogy was changed only before Cui Yingying got married.

..............................

After Mrs. Cui solved the issue of heirs, she kept her filial piety behind closed doors.

The beautiful family members in the side courtyard had already replaced silk and satin to serve Mr. Cui as filial piety. Mrs. Cui sent people to take away the soft couches and gave them coarse cotton clothes. The beds were only made of straw and rags.On the grounds of keeping filial piety, there is no trace of meat on weekdays, and the polished rice has been replaced with brown rice.They also sent away the redundant maids and women, so that they should not be extravagant during the period of filial piety.

Although the people in the side courtyard complained endlessly, no one dared to talk to Mrs. Cui - now the power of life and death is in Mrs. Cui's hands.

Mrs. Lan, who had betrayed her master in the past, was in a constant state of panic, and she no longer looked arrogant.
