Chapter 177: Being able to have a life of luxury is something many people would never be able to achieve
"Xiuzhu." Qin Jiu's face turned pale as he asked her, "Did your mother ask you to come? Mr. Zhu has offended Cui Sanlang. You don't have to worry too much about this matter. You can ask Cui Sanlang for mercy another day."
Considering their years of friendship, Qin Jiu couldn't just stand by and watch Wang Xiuzhu dig her own grave, so he spoke up to smooth things over for her.
Wang Xiuzhu's eyes were red, and she shook her head vigorously: "No, it's useless for us to ask him, but if Liu Niang asks, I'm sure Cui Jing will agree. He..."
"Madam Wang." Cui Si raised her eyelids and looked at her with a cold look. "Although money is valuable and the treasures in your hands are also valuable, in this world, money and treasures are not everything."
"My third brother is my closest brother. How could I make him unhappy for such a vulgar thing? There is no need to say this. Please take back this gift."
"Come here, send Madam Wang back."
Cui Si didn't want to hear anything more from Wang Xiuzhu, so she immediately called for help, took the person away, and sent him back to Wang's house.
Although the affair between Wang Xiuzhu and Zhu Lanyi was exposed, and it was the Wang family that was embarrassed, Cui Jing was also embarrassed. He really couldn't let Wang Xiuzhu make a fuss at the moment.
"When you get to the Wang family, tell Madam Wang to take good care of her daughter."
Wang Xiuzhu was immediately asked to leave. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had become somewhat quiet, Cui Si said again:
"This morning, I had someone prepare a roasted plum blossom deer. I used this year's newly blossomed plum blossoms, snow water, and various seasonings to marinate it. It should be almost done by now. Please move to the guest garden so we can enjoy it together."
When they heard that there was roasted venison to eat, everyone's minds immediately became active and they nodded in greeting.
Soon, everyone moved to the reception garden to eat venison.
When Cui Jing heard about the incident in the inner courtyard, his face darkened. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that there's still Zhu Lanyi in jail. Humph, he even dared to cause trouble while Liu Niang was adding makeup. Do you really think our Cui family is too easy to talk to?"
Cui Jing immediately wanted to go to the prison and treat the man named Zhu well.
But just as he raised his foot, he remembered that Cui Si was getting married the next day, so he stopped again.
"Forget it. I have to send Ah Si out tomorrow, so I won't go and get involved in this bad luck of the prison. After Ah Si comes home, I'll go and deal with it and see what kind of courage this guy has."
Cui Si and everyone else enjoyed roasted venison in the guest garden. The venison was just right at that time, and it was marinated well and roasted very well. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. When the party ended in the afternoon, many people made an appointment to eat roasted venison together in a few days.
In the evening, the Cui family had dinner together, and even Song Rou, who was pregnant and rarely went out, came out.
Old Madam Xu didn't have a good appetite, and after taking a few bites, she felt a little full. Cui Si poured her a bowl of soup and said, "This soup is very delicious today. Please eat some more, Grandma. I know you are reluctant to leave me, but I won't go far away. I can stay by your side every day."
"Yes." Cui Hao nodded repeatedly. "Sister has also discussed with Mr. Jiang that in the future when she is free, she can live in Yayuan. It's very close to our home."
Mrs. Xu was a little surprised: "Does he agree to you living in Yayuan?"
"Why not? If his master isn't in Xianyang City, he'll be all alone and have nowhere to stay. Besides, he's not the type to care about that, and..."
"And what?"
"And being able to have a comfortable life is something many people would beg for."
Mrs. Xu finally couldn't help laughing: "You girl, you keep talking nonsense, such as living off others. You shouldn't say such things."
Men all have to save face. Even if someone is really a gigolo, they can't always say it. Otherwise, the other person will feel resentful and won't know how long they will hold a grudge against him.
"I know, I know. Please eat more. Anyway, I, your granddaughter, am not going far away. I can come back every few days to have a meal and drink tea with you. Please don't be reluctant to leave."
The good thing about marrying close to home is that you can go back to your parents' home whenever you want, and you can see your relatives whenever you want.
Cui Jing immediately said, "I'll have to trouble you, Liuniang, to accompany Grandmother more often in the future. I, Third Brother, would like to thank you here."
"Why do you need to thank me? You honor yours, and I honor mine."
"Yes, yes, yes. It seems I have to come back more often, so as not to be an unfilial grandson!"
Old Madam Xu snorted, "If you're truly filial, quickly arrange your marriage. I've noticed quite a few young ladies of marriageable age have come this time, and most of them are drawn to you two brothers. You should take a closer look."
Cui Yi was eating rice and gnawing on a chicken leg, eating and eating, and continued to eat, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Cui Jing smiled and said, "Grandmother, the affairs of Laizhou are not settled yet. After Laizhou is pacified, I should rush to Yunzhou. Although this marriage is good, a bright future is more important."
Old Madam Xu snorted and pointed the finger at Cui Changyou: "What about you? You do nothing all day long, and you don't even get married. What a shame."
"Get married?" Cui Changyou was originally watching Cui Jing's good show, but when he saw the spearhead was pointed at himself, the smile on his face disappeared and turned to Cui Jing's face.
"Get married! I'm not mad at you enough. Do you want to have a daughter-in-law and a bastard to make you mad? Even if you want to practice crutches, you don't practice like this!"
"You know you're annoying. I don't know what sin I committed in my past life to give birth to a son like you!"
"What a bastard!"
A family dinner ended with Cui Changyou injured alone.
Cui Changyou sighed, but there was nothing he could do.
He didn't want to stay at home and just wanted to go out and run around, but the world was not peaceful now. Although he was brave and not afraid of anything, he didn't dare to do it when he thought of his old mother at home.
At night, Cui Changyou and Cui Jing were drinking, and Cui Jing suggested to him, "Uncle, do you want to go out with me?"
Cui Changyou refused repeatedly: "No, no, someone still needs to look after the house. Besides, you are already very prominent in the second branch of the Cui family. If I go again, I am afraid that the first branch will be unhappy."
"Would you like to stay home?"
"Why wouldn't I want to? I've been thinking a lot these days at home. My mother is getting older, and with the chaos out there, I really shouldn't be going out."
His life or death does not matter, but if he brings trouble to his own mother, that would be a great sin.
Cui Changyou thought for a moment and patted Cui Jing on the shoulder: "You should work harder and follow the King of Northern Yan to pacify the world as soon as possible. When the world is peaceful, I can go wherever I want."
Cui Jing laughed and said, "I also want to follow the Lord and pacify the world as soon as possible. When that time comes, you can travel freely in the world."
"That's great, hahaha, good nephew! My second brother is not good, but he gave birth to a good son. Let's have a couple more drinks..."
