014 Friendship
How dare Cui Ling say no? But she didn't dare to say yes easily.
When she first arrived, she didn't even know where the room was. She had to wait for the old lady to say something, and then looked anxiously at her grandmother who was at ease on the couch.
The old lady smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead, go ahead."
She called a little girl with a pretty face in front of her and said, "Xiao Li, take the two grandmas to the west wing."
The girl named Xiaoli took the order and respectfully led Cui Ling and Princess Yining out.
The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched the bead curtain shake, and with the sound of the flawless white beads colliding, she sighed in a low voice, "Abei, what do you think of the fifth daughter-in-law?"
The woman named Abei was a middle-aged woman about the same age as Grandma Du. She was not as dewy and wealthy as Grandma Du. She looked a little skinny, but her eyes were very sharp, as if she could easily see through other people's thoughts.
Her surname is Qiao, and like Aunt Du, she is a dowry girl brought by the old lady from her natal family.
Aunt Qiao was silent for a while and whispered, "Fifth Grandma is very good-looking, but her behavior is a bit rough. I heard that Uncle Anning's family is very strict with their daughter's upbringing, but Fifth Grandma doesn't seem to understand this very well."
of."
She paused and said, "Thankfully Fifth Grandma was born a little like my eldest sister, otherwise just now... the princess is not someone who can be fooled casually."
The old lady sighed softly, "My request for marriage on the spot is indeed a bit difficult for Uncle An Ning's family. Therefore, I also expected that Uncle An Ning would not marry his favorite granddaughter."
She took the teacup handed over by Aunt Qiao, took a sip, and then said, "Give me the fifth daughter-in-law's wedding invitation. I also sent someone to inquire about Miss Cui Jiu's temperament, but the ladies all over the capital are not interested in her."
I don’t even have any impression at all.”
Anningbo Cui Hongjin was a powerful official in the court, and the Cui family's daughters were well-known, and ladies and gentlemen were happy to make friends with her.
The biological mother of Miss Wufangjiu, Luo Shi, was the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jiancheng. Although the Luo family had moved away, it was still a prominent family in the prosperous dynasty.
Her father's family and mother's family are all nobles. If Miss Ninth had appeared at a flower party in Shengjing, how could she not be impressed at all?
The old lady spent a lot of money to bribe a woman from Anning's house, and then she found out that Miss Ninth usually lived in seclusion. Except when she had to go to Mrs. Anning's house to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, she always stayed in her own yard and never went out.
Whenever the house invites guests to a banquet, or there is an opportunity to go out, all the ladies nearby are vying for beauty, but Miss Ninth is always willing to take the back seat. Either she catches cold or has acne on her face. In short, she is
Hide if you can.
The mother-in-law said that people who didn't know about it always thought that Miss Ninth had some hidden illness, but she was lucky enough to have met Miss Ninth a few times. Not to mention that she was like a fairy, and her temperament was also very good.
Several old ladies who had been working in the house for a long time also speculated when they got together and chatted. They thought it was because the fifth wife died young and the step-wife had several children under her knees. She did not have the energy to take care of the young daughter left by her first wife, and the fifth master also
No matter what happens, this good daughter-in-law of the uncle's house has developed like this.
The old lady could afford to spend money, but the news about Miss Cui Jiu, apart from living in seclusion and refusing to see anyone, only revealed the two trivial matters that she did not like studying and was not a good working girl.
As for the rest, I really don't know anything about it.
The old lady was also worried. If Miss Cui Jiu really had any hidden illness and Wu Lang's marriage was not satisfactory in the future, she would regret it for the rest of her life. After all, this was Yuci's marriage. Even if she wanted to regret it, it would be too late.
In extreme anxiety, she searched for the embroiderer who had taught Cui Jiu.
The embroiderer said that Miss Ninth had a good appearance and a healthy body. She had a pair of smiling eyes, and she was very lovable when she spoke and acted with a smile.
There is only one thing, it is lame.
I have been taught a simple stitch method hundreds of times, but it’s not that I can’t learn it, but that I refuse to learn it. When it comes to eating and drinking, I feel energetic, but when it’s time to learn needlepoint, I feel completely exhausted.
Later, Xiu Niang saw Miss Jiu's thoughts. She didn't want to embarrass her, nor was she willing to waste her time on a girl who refused to go to school, so she took the initiative to resign and left Anning's Mansion.
Miss Cui Jiu is not stupid, nor does she have any hidden diseases, but she is not very eager to learn and is a bit lazy.
The old lady felt relieved now. When the Yuan family chooses a wife, good health is the most important thing. How many books they have read and whether they know how to tailor and make clothes are not important. Their family is looking for a wife, not a maid.
She was born in a general family and had read a lot of military books. She was also incapable of writing poems and songs. As for needlework, she had no skills at all. Therefore, she was very tolerant of her daughters-in-law and grandsons, as long as she was in good health and had a kind temper.
It’s done.
But having said that, I still feel uneasy in my heart.
It wasn't until tea was served this morning and she took a closer look at Cui Jiu's appearance that the stone in her heart fell to the ground.
The old lady sighed at Aunt Qiao, "This child does not seem to have learned any rules and etiquette, but fortunately she is kind and sincere. You can see that although she is unwilling to live in Antaiyuan, she still moved here obediently.
, it can be seen that this is a docile and sensible person."
She paused, "Besides, Wu Lang also likes her. I finally didn't do anything wrong, old lady."
Thinking that her beloved grandson should have left Shengjing by now, she felt worried and distressed at the same time, so she waved her hand, "My fifth daughter-in-law is a piece of rough jade. Fortunately, she married into our family. Our family is a military officer."
, she doesn’t like to pay attention to those secular rules. She has such an honest temperament, and she doesn’t know how much she will suffer if she goes to someone else’s house.”
Aunt Qiao's lips curled up slightly, "So, old lady, did you mention your eldest sister in front of the princess on purpose just now?"
The old lady nodded, "I'm getting old, and I don't know how many more days there will be. In the future, the eldest daughter-in-law will be the head of this house. The fifth daughter-in-law is born like the eldest sister, and has an innocent and simple temperament, although her behavior is a bit awkward.
It's timely, but only in this way can the elder man's wife be more tolerant to her."
She paused slightly, "Otherwise, if you are as polite and sensible as the fourth daughter-in-law, why don't you please the older man's wife?"
Who among the women who grew up in the conspiracy and calculations in the back house is not as smart as a monkey, and can’t tell the difference between true love and falsehood? At home, it is not necessary to be polite everywhere, even if you don’t understand the rules.
But what is rare is sincerity.
Although she just made a remark that made the eldest daughter-in-law cry, if the fifth daughter-in-law had no sympathy, how could she have formed such a good relationship?
Sure enough, she didn't hurt the wrong person.
In the west wing of the room, Princess Yining sat in front of the dressing table, applied makeup, and applied some rouge to cover up the sadness on her face. She still looked dignified and graceful, but Cui Ling felt that her sister-in-law had a friendly and kind expression in her eyes.
, completely different from what we have seen before.
