Chapter 67 I see I am not your uncle, you are my aunt!
"Uncle, you are really good at talking."
"That's right." Cui Changyou was complacent. "But little Ah Si, you really know how to trick me."
When Cui Changyou thought about the fact that he would have to see her ten times, his smile disappeared immediately.
"That's not right. Who is the elder, me or you? I'm not your uncle, you're my great aunt!"
How could his niece torment him like this? First she tricked him into the academy, and now she forced him to agree to meet her.
Can I still keep this niece?
"Thank you very much." Cui Si waved her round fan lightly, her eyes smiling. "There's a saying that goes, if I don't go to hell, who will..."
"I practice Taoism."
"Well, there are three thousand tribulations in the mortal world, and this is just one tribulation for you, fellow Taoist. Just accept it."
Cui Si smiled even more happily.
It's strange to say, it is obvious that she and Cui Jing and Cui Yi are siblings, but Cui Jing is calm and mature, tolerant and caring towards her, more like an elder, while Cui Yi is always brainless, like a little brother who needs her to take care of him.
She and her uncle Cui Changyou seemed like peers who could laugh and play together.
She doesn't even blink an eye when it comes to cheating people.
Cui Changyou slapped his forehead with his hand: "Meeting you is my calamity."
Even his own mother couldn't control him, but he was controlled by his niece.
I'm so scared.
Cui Si raised her eyebrows: "Life takes a hundred years to cultivate, and meeting each other is both fate and disaster. It can be seen that I have a destiny with my fellow Taoist."
Cui Changyou couldn't argue with her, so he turned around and left with a gloomy look on his face.
Cui Si quickly followed and asked: "Where are you going?"
"Go to the academy."
"Then why don't we wait for Mr. Jiang to come out?"
No, it’s fine if you don’t wait for your brother, but don’t you want to ask about your mother’s health?
Look how mad we made the old lady just now. She almost wanted to hit someone.
"What could be the problem? She's probably wondering whether my blind date will choose the Zhao family or the Qian family. She might even go out for a stroll this afternoon."
It can be said that this son really understands his mother well.
Coincidentally, that’s what Mrs. Xu thought.
"As for Brother Jiang, isn't he your fiancé? You invited him here, so you can entertain him yourself. I won't get in the way."
After Cui Changyou said this, he walked away, waving his sleeves and leaving without a trace of breeze.
Cui Si smiled, and then waited in the yard for Jiang Cinian to come out.
About a cup of tea later, he came out of the house.
Cui Si stepped forward.
"Mr. Jiang."
"Sixth Lady."
After the two men exchanged greetings, Cui Si invited him to go to the guest house in the outer courtyard.
Two people walked side by side, one of them was wearing a green shirt, like a pine, cypress or bamboo, and the other was wearing a green shirt with wide sleeves and an apricot pleated skirt, which was elegant and calm, suitable for home.
When the two of them walk together, they are a match made in heaven, just like the green mountains and beautiful waters, they have the best of both worlds.
"Thank you for taking a trip today, Mr. Jiang. I wonder how Grandmother is doing?"
"The old lady is fine, there's no need to worry too much, Madam Six."
"It's good that nothing happened." Cui Si breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandmother has been brooding over Fifth Uncle's matter for many years, and it's hard to resolve. It's really wrong of us to provoke her like this today."
"Of course, my fifth uncle and his wife are suffering too, and Ah Hao is suffering too."
Jiang Ci Nian said, "I know Sixth Lady is in a dilemma. If she does this, she's afraid of letting down the old lady. If she doesn't do this, she feels she's letting down her uncle, aunt, and younger sister."
"But just talk it out with her. If you can persuade her, then do it. If you can persuade her to resolve her worries, then it's the best of both worlds.
If she reacts violently, then stop right there. In this world, living people are more important."
It is a pity to see the deceased, and we hope that their last wishes can be fulfilled, but what is most important is that the living are by our side.
"Just don't do these things without telling her. She won't know until it's done. That's when she'll be really angry and feel like you've betrayed her."
In fact, this difficult situation is similar to what Yan Xingchuan faced back then.
If Yan Xingchuan had talked to her nicely back then, she might have been willing to help him.
But he wanted it all. He didn't want to bear the guilt towards the Lin family, but he also wanted his wife to stay by his side, so he chose to hurt her.
If Yan Xingchuan had granted her request like the old lady did, agreed to divorce her, and let her go, perhaps she would not have hated him so much.
So today, he told her that he could solve Lin Qingning's problem and hoped that they could start over again. She might agree.
What she couldn't tolerate the most was his deception and hurt, but he still forced her to forgive and accept him.
This only made her feel that he was not worthy.
In her previous life, she had wasted her life.
Unbearable to look back.
Cui Si lowered her eyes, looked up at the bluestone path in front of her, suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Jiang Cinian.
He had a handsome face, an easy-going and tolerant demeanor, and his eyes were clear and bright when he looked at her.
It seemed as if he tolerated all her good and bad qualities, making people feel comfortable and casual when getting along with him.
With the gentle breeze and bright moon by our side, the years will be long and peaceful.
Cui Si suddenly laughed: "Mr. Jiang and I are heroes with similar views..."
Two quarters of an hour later, the two of them arrived at the reception hall to drink tea and play chess.
The spring breeze is just right when I am free, the green leaves and flowers in the yard are swaying in the wind, and the years are quiet and peaceful.
It was a rare opportunity to have such leisure and ease, and Cui Si even asked someone to bring her zither so that she could play a tune.
Jiang Cinian then asked her if she had a long flute.
"Mr. Jiang can also play the flute?" Cui Si was surprised.
Jiang Ci Nian looked at the scenery in the courtyard and nodded. "When I have nothing to do on weekdays, I learn a few things. I'm not very good at playing the piano, but I've learned a bit at playing the flute."
"Then let's play a song together?"
"Very good."
Nearly half an hour later, the sounds of piano and flute could be heard in the courtyard.
The sound of the piano and flute is like a mountain stream breaking through the clouds and mist, ethereal and clear, like the gurgling stream, winding forward.
The flute sounds are harmonious and leisurely, like the mist lingering on the stream, encircling it.
The sounds of the zither and flute transcend the green mountains and clear waters, rise with the wind, and go straight up to the clouds, accompanied by the breeze and white clouds, and stay together for a long time.
"Who is playing the piano or the flute in there..." a guard guarding the outer courtyard asked his companion who was listening with fascination.
"The lingering sound lingers in the air. What do you call it? It's rare to hear it in this world."
The guard who was asked sighed, as if he was deeply immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself. In the end, he also answered,
"Who else? Of course it's Lady Six and Mr. Jiang. These two together are a match made in heaven, and their zither and flute ensemble is truly harmonious!"
"What? Sixth Lady and Mr. Jiang?"
"Hush! Why are you making such a fuss? It's not your place to say anything about the master's affairs. Be careful if someone hears us. We can't stay here any longer..."
