Chapter 853 Terrified
Jiang Xinyan was also relieved when she saw that Jinniang had stopped asking about the Cui family. The husband and wife knew very well about the Cui family.
Jinniang never asked them, so Jiang Xinyan didn't say anything, she thought Jinniang didn't care!
The current head of the Cui family is Jinniang and Wanniang's eldest brother, their father is still alive.
Their second brother is also a person who wants to climb high. Cui's second brother's daughter married the eldest prince as a side concubine.
The third younger brother had already been persuaded by his son to take the whole family to Yazhou City.
The current head of the Cui family is Cui Changqing, who is fifty-six years old this year.
But this big brother Cui had a handsome face when he was young, and he gave birth to beautiful sons and daughters.
Cui Changqing's eldest daughter entered the palace as a concubine, and both her aunt Wanniang married the current emperor.
Even though Cui Changqing is old, he still looks quite energetic, after dinner this day.
Cui Changqing took a walk in the courtyard to digest food, his wives and concubines followed and walked to the lake together.
"Sir, please slow down."
"Yes, sir, don't get tired."
A group of people chirped and chatted while sitting in the gazebo by the lake to chat.
Cui Changqing usually would not have time to take a walk with them, but now the officials in the capital are very free.
They only manage the capital, and the counties around the capital do not need their management.
Going to court every day is just a few things that are repeated, and there is no pursuit of military pay at the border, and there is no such thing as enemy troops coming to commit crimes at the border.
Officials who used to manage a country, now only need to manage the capital and a city, can they not be idle?
"Have you heard?" One of the women in the gazebo suddenly said mysteriously to the other people beside her.
She looks in her forties, with fair skin, soft eyebrows and eyes, and her eyes seem to contain the spring breeze and drizzle.
Gives people a fresh and gentle feeling, she is Cui Changqing's original wife.
Mrs. Cui runs the family well and manages the entire Cui residence in an orderly manner. She used to manage the three bedrooms of the Cui family.
Now that the third room is gone, only the first room and the second room are left. The first room has a dozen sons and a dozen daughters.
The second room also has more than a dozen children, and she alone manages the food and clothing of so many people.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the second room is used to flattering, "What does the aunt want to say about us? We haven't heard of anything, this is"
Others also nodded and said they didn't hear anything. In fact, they heard a lot of gossip a day, and they really didn't know what the lady was talking about.
"Mrs. Ben heard just now that the noble concubine of our Cui family said that the Second Emperor has escaped."
"What? There is such a thing? Will the emperor blame our Cui family?"
The eldest lady smiled and said, "I know that you must not know about this matter. I plan to wait until the master walks back to the room, and then I will mention it to the master."
"Our master doesn't know?" Then how did you know? But she dared not ask.
Madam Cui smiled and said, "My Madam is visiting relatives in the palace today, I heard from Xiu'er."
Ms. Cui's words stunned the surrounding people, "It's true!"
"This imperial concubine is still running away, which is too ridiculous!"
"That's right, it's impossible, with Miss Wanniang's personality"
Madam Cui smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, I will ask Xiaocui to invite the master later, and we will find out by asking the master in person."
"Okay, then I'll call Xiao Cui now."
"Ok."
A moment later, Mrs. Cui asked Xiaocui to invite Cui Changqing who was still walking with my concubine by the lake.
"Master, Madam invited you to the gazebo for tea." Xiaocui didn't speak directly, she was afraid of being punished by the master.
Cui Changqing was very idle, and actually went to the pavilion, "Ma'am, you are all here."
"My concubine has met the master, please sit down quickly, master."
"Master, please drink tea."
"Master, let me beat your back for you."
Master Cui sat beside Mrs. Cui, enjoying the attentive service of his concubines.
"Master ~ Madame said, our imperial concubine has escaped from the palace?" A little concubine who was being favored asked in surprise.
Cui Changqing:
Ma'am, it's true, why do you tell these gossip women everything.
"Of course it is true. Can Xiu'er lie to Mrs. Ben? This matter is true."
Madam Cui is not afraid that the master will blame her. Her daughter is a concubine in the palace, so she has a backer.
"The palace is heavily guarded, can our imperial concubine escape the palace? Could it be"
"Shh~~"
Cui Changqing suppressed the concubine's mouth: "You little hoof, what are you talking about, be careful that the walls have ears."
"Master~~ Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"It's a long story, listen carefully, and don't go around talking nonsense."
"Yes! I am all ears."
"That's right. Some time ago, the imperial concubine had a big fight with the emperor in the palace and then left the palace."
Cui Changqing imagined it by himself, and the emperor didn't tell him what was going on.
He was not punished, and they didn't mention this matter in the morning court.
Cui Changqing was in a relaxed mood, so he talked a lot, and was willing to reveal a little more to his wife and concubines.
In the current early court, there are no more ministers crying to the emperor to cry for poverty.
In the early dynasties of previous years, they were given a lot of headaches when they were urged to pay the soldiers everywhere. The Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of War always cried about their difficulties.
Especially when foreign enemies invade and need reinforcements, those are things that give ministers a headache.
Now its all right, dont worry about anything, dont pay the Dongchen court for the military salary at the border.
The foreign enemies at the border did not dare to invade, and the Xuanyan Dynasty did not attack their Dongchen Kingdom.
The common people stopped crying for food, not because they knew that Dongchen was poor, but because the poor people ran away.
They went to Xuanyan Dynasty, where they had no worries about food and clothing. They lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived happily.
Emperor Dongchen was even more self-defeating, and sometimes he summoned his pregnant daughter-in-law Wei Yan to have fun.
All the ministers acted as if they were blind with their eyes open, and they all acted as if they could not see, even the third prince and side concubine Jiang Bilian stood beside the emperor.
The ministers should not know that person, and the ministers who can stay in the capital are all the emperor's cronies.
Those who were a little half-hearted all ran away with the whole family, after all, the Xuanyan Dynasty was officially established.
Ms. Cui and all the concubines stared wide-eyed when they heard that, they looked at their master in disbelief.
They didn't dare to interrupt the master's words easily, at this time their master was talking vigorously!
The concubines listened with gusto at first, but at the end they were terrified when they heard it, and they were afraid that the master would kill them if he repented.
Everyone shrank their necks, trying to reduce their sense of existence, and Master Cui was still talking endlessly.
Master Cui has also suppressed it for too long, since you want to hear it, you can listen to it enough.
