Chapter 418: Serve Mr. Cui some good tea
As Cui Si expected, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Cui Jing came to visit Cui Si and asked her about her opinion on Chang Ru.
"She is a very good girl. If my third brother marries her, it will be a blessing for the Cui family and for my third brother as well." This is Cui Si's evaluation.
"Oh, you think she's nice too?"
"She is indeed very good. She treats me and Ah Hao very well. She is sincere and frank, friendly and gentle, but she never asks questions that should not be asked." Cui Si said this impartially without any exaggeration.
Chang Ru is dignified and gentle, but has a tough character. In her previous life, Shen Sui favored his concubine and killed his wife. She did not choose to divorce, mostly for the sake of her children.
If she doesn't leave, she will be the main wife, the wife of Duke Shen, and her child will be the crown prince. In addition, with Cui Si's protection, the title of Duke will definitely belong to her child.
If she left, she couldn't take the child with her. Then, Shen Sui would be in the hands of the concubines, and it would be unknown whether he would live or die.
However, she did survive Shen Sui and her son successfully inherited the title.
Cui Si and she also had a sense of mutual appreciation.
She would be very happy no matter which one of them became her sister-in-law, Chang Ru or Xu Jianjia.
However, out of selfishness, she still felt that Chang Ru was the best, as they were of similar age. Xu Jianjia was too young, and Cui Jing would have to wait for many years. Moreover, many years later, Xu's parents would still be around, and they would definitely not let their precious daughter marry someone so old.
No matter how outstanding he is.
Cui Jing said, "Relationships within aristocratic families are complicated. I don't know if she can handle it. The world is not stable yet. I'm away from home all year round, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help."
Cui Si said, "We still have our grandmother. She's getting older, and while it's hard to keep her busy, if we let her teach my sister-in-law step by step for two or three years, who knows how she can't learn it?"
Cui Jing paused.
That’s true.
"Then I'll ask my grandmother."
When Cui Si heard this, she held her belly and laughed, "Third brother, are you afraid that Grandmother will be unhappy? If you want to marry a wife, she would be eager to spend all her family wealth as a betrothal gift so that you can marry her in a grand ceremony."
"And since you're interested, why not talk to the Chang family about it? It's not good to keep dragging it out and make them wait. They've come all the way here just to see you, so that's pretty sincere."
"Is she really nice to you and Ah Hao?"
"Of course I am. How could I lie to you about this? If she snorted and glared at me, I wouldn't even care about having this sister-in-law. I'd rather you change her."
"Okay, I'll go to the Chang family and talk to them."
Cui Si immediately said, "If you come to visit, you must prepare a gift. Third brother, please don't be rude."
"It should be."
After Cui Jing left, Cui Si laughed for a long time, until her stomach hurt a little, and then she could not stop laughing. Finally, she could not help but go to the east wing to find Yan Xingchuan and share the news with him.
"Are they really together?" Yan Xingchuan was slightly surprised, but felt it was reasonable.
If one party is interested and the other party also thinks it is good, it will naturally be easy to succeed. In addition, Chang Ru has an excellent family background, appearance and character. As long as Cui Jing wants to get married, she is very likely to agree.
Cui Si felt somewhat proud and walked around the desk.
Yan Xingchuan quickly said, "Stop turning, slow down."
Cui Si snorted, "From now on, Madam Chang will be my sister-in-law. As for General Shen, let him and his concubine love each other. No, there is also the Princess of Nanhuai."
"This Princess Nanhuai is not someone who will swallow her anger. The Shen family will probably have a lot of fun in the future." Cui Si really wanted to see the fun in the Shen family.
Yan Xingchuan reminded her: "Don't laugh yet, Chen Mo's surname is also Chen, and Jiu Niang is also going to marry him. By then, she might be involved."
"Who dares?" Cui Si snorted, "Who dares to touch my sister?"
"Okay, no one dares." Yan Xingchuan helped her sit on the couch beside him, took off her shoes, let her warm herself by the fire, and gave her a massage.
"Want to take a dip?"
Her feet occasionally swell up these days. It's not a serious problem, but it's uncomfortable. Soaking in hot water makes her feel much more comfortable.
Cui Si shook her head: "I'll soak my feet later. I don't want to soak them now. If I do, my feet will peel."
Yan Xingchuan did not force her, but just took a book from the bookshelf next to her, and then sat beside her to read to her. Seeing that she was not sitting comfortably, he took a pillow and placed it behind her for her to lean on.
While he was reading, he would occasionally reach out and touch her belly, as if greeting the child and asking him to listen carefully.
......
Cui Jing was not a person who liked to procrastinate. Since he made the decision, he immediately went to the Chang family. Chang Pu had nothing to do and was practicing martial arts in the house. He was very happy to hear that Cui Jing was coming.
"Go tell my little sister that Cui Sanlang is here."
"Go, invite Mr. Cui to the main courtyard and tell him I'll be there soon after changing my clothes."
Cui Jing waited for a while and was then invited to the main courtyard. Just as he sat down to drink a sip of hot tea brought by the servant, he heard footsteps. Before he saw anyone, he heard a burst of laughter.
"Mr. Cui, I'm not late, am I?" Chang Pu greeted him as he stepped through the door.
Cui Jing stood up and greeted him, then said, "General Xiao Chang is not late. I, Cui, just arrived as well."
"That's good, that's good. Mr. Cui, please take a seat. Please take a seat."
Chang Pu's smile almost reached his ears, which showed that he was very enthusiastic.
"Hurry up and serve Mr. Cui some good tea."
Cui Jing smiled. It seemed that the Chang family was really anxious and wanted to find a marriage for Chang Ru as soon as possible. They were also very satisfied with him.
Soon, someone brought a new cup of tea. Cui Jing took a sip and praised, "It's really good tea."
Chang Pu laughed heartily. "This tea is the summer tea from the Snow Ridge of Beiyan. It's nourished by the melting ice and snow of the Snow Ridge in spring and summer. It's different from other teas. This tea is clear and has a unique flavor. I only got some of it by stealing it from my father."
"It's a pity that the snow water is cold, and it's not suitable for women to drink too much. Otherwise, I'd like to ask Princess Wang to taste it."
"It's good that General Chang has this intention."
The two sides exchanged a few warm greetings. Chang Pu coughed and got to the point: "I wonder why Mr. Cui came here today? Could it be about my sister?"
"That's right." Cui Jing nodded. "I'm naturally very happy that the Chang family has taken a liking to me, and I'm also very happy about this marriage. But there's one thing I'm wondering what the Chang family thinks."
Chang Pu's heart instantly jumped when he heard this.
What could possibly happen?
Could it be that he raised one outside?
Could it be that he has learned from Shen Sui and wants to make his younger sister a concubine?
Chang Pu took a deep breath, and the smile on his face faded. "What's the matter? Tell me. If it's suitable, the Chang family will have no problem. If it's not suitable, then forget it."
