Although Ye Zhenzhen and Cui Weizhen had been married for more than two years, they were concerned about her young age, so they waited until 29 to consummate their marriage. After all the calculations, it only took more than two months.
Cui Weizhen seemed to think she was not suitable for childbearing yet, so he kept taking the initiative to provide her with birth control. Even though Ye Zhenzhen offered to have a child, he always went his own way. Ye Zhenzhen felt helpless and relieved, and was extremely confused. The third
That night, I just drove people to sleep on the couch, out of sight and out of mind.
Of course, she soon had no intention of worrying about these anymore, because the day agreed between Cui Weizhen and the elders of the clan finally came, and relevant people in the clan gathered in the ancestral hall to re-examine the case of Cui Shichang's widow who had violated his integrity that year.
On this day, Ye Zhenzhen woke up early. Unexpectedly, Cui Weizhen was earlier than her. He was fully dressed and still had some wet dew on his body. It seemed that he had gone out for a trip. She could probably guess the reason.
But I won’t ask further, since the mystery is about to be revealed, so let’s keep it a little mysterious for now.
When they went to the central hall of the east wing, Aunt Cui was already waiting. She seemed very calm, but Ye Zhenzhen still found clues from her slightly pursed lips. On this day that was related to her reputation for the rest of her life, her mood was actually
Not peaceful at all.
Ye Zhenzhen felt pity in her heart and went over to help her sit down at the square table. She smiled and said: "Sun Tzu's Art of War says that before the troops and horses move, food and grass go first. Let's have breakfast first. Only when we are full can we have the strength to go to the battlefield.
,Mom, do you think so?"
At most it's like going to court, but where is the battlefield?
Even though she was used to hearing Ye Zhenzhen's nonsense, Aunt Cui couldn't help but laugh at her: "You love making random metaphors. If my grandson knew that his art of war was being used in such a random way by you, I'm afraid...
Angry enough to come to life.”
Ye Zhenzhen didn't feel that she used it wrong at all. In later generations, the word battlefield has been commonly used. Whether it is an exam, interview, blind date, etc., as long as there are difficulties and challenges, it is a battlefield; unlike in ancient times, battlefield
It specifically refers to killing enemies on the battlefield, so I won’t borrow it easily.
Cultural differences, I really can't blame her.
Seeing her uneducated yet confident look, Cui Weizhen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and began to regret letting her read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. It was simply ruining the original work!
But it has to be said that with Ye Zhenzhen on the side to make jokes, the tense atmosphere in Ruoyouruowu was relieved. Aunt Cui and Cui Weizhen, who were originally in no mood, both appetized and ate a lot of breakfast, which was considered a good thing.
After breakfast, the family packed up and went out. They met many neighbors at the door. They all greeted Cui Weizhen on horseback and asked him where he was going. When they learned that he was visiting the Cui family's old house, everyone was excited.
The expression is very subtle.
Qing, the river is not big, and the people who have lived in this land for generations are closed and well-informed. If there is any slightest movement, everyone will know about it in the blink of an eye.
Everyone knew that Cui Weizhen returned to his hometown. Although everyone suspected that he had left his hometown for many years, they did not think deeply about it. It was not until he moved to Junzifang in full view of the public a few days ago that the public opinion broke out.
The dignified Cui family has five rooms, but they are reduced to living in the house with the help of their aunt's dowry. Is there no room for them in the Cui family?
So various speculations followed one after another.
Ye Zhenzhen was wandering around outside these days and heard a lot of comments. The dominant one was that the clan leader was jealous of the virtuous and could not tolerate the orphans of his younger brothers, so he deliberately expelled them from the family. When someone revealed the place of origin that Cui Weizhen filled in during the imperial examination,
This guess is even more convincing.
So much so that these days, Ye Zhenzhen has received a lot of pitying looks. Even if she is sitting in the carriage now, she can still guess what her neighbors are thinking - the condolences sent to her door by her neighbors are enough these days.
Explain everything.
I have to say that the local people in Qinghe are quite humane.
Although he was troubled by pity eyes, it was nothing compared to revealing Cui Shihong's hidden gentleman's face. Cui Weizhen greeted everyone with a gentle look, rode his BMW swaggering through the city, and slowly arrived at the Cui family mansion.
The atmosphere in the Cui family mansion was even more tense than the first day back. The servants were all in silence. They were very respectful when they saw the people from the fifth house. Ye Zhenzhen saw that they were not in awe, but in awe.
They are treating them as mobile bombs.
It seems that the head of the Cui family's mansion has a bad temper these days, and the servants have also suffered a lot.
She couldn't help but want to laugh, but when she saw Zhang's coffin face, her good mood immediately disappeared - the current requirement for women is chastity, gentleness, and meekness, and she didn't know what this aunt was thinking.
She has a serious expression on her face all day long. She is dignified, but it makes people uncomfortable. I don't know if my uncle can stand her face.
Mrs. Zhang didn't know that Ye Zhenzhen was slandering her about the harmony between her husband and wife, so she forced out an inconspicuous smile on her serious face: "Is it okay for my fifth brother and sister to live outside these days? It's all my fault that I didn't treat you well and made you feel wronged.
, the master reprimanded me for this, all the mistakes are my fault, if you feel uncomfortable, you can scold me, I will never say anything back."
Aunt Cui smiled: "What do you mean, madam? I still understand the principle of guests doing as they please, and there is absolutely no way of giving in to the host. The sixth brother and sister's villa is exquisite and suitable, and the servants serve them wholeheartedly. I live there."
It couldn’t be more satisfying.”
Calling me Sixth Brother and Sister, instead of calling me sister-in-law, the difference between closeness and distance is immediately apparent.
Zhang's face changed slightly, but she didn't know what she thought of, but she didn't get angry anymore. Instead, she showed a more genuine smile than before, and said meaningfully: "Since you live comfortably, it couldn't be better. I'll be with you soon."
Yes, I hope you can relax. No matter what the outcome is, I will always treat you as my fifth younger brother and sister."
Oh, this sounds interesting.
Ye Zhenzhen exchanged a tacit understanding with Aunt Cui, thinking in her heart that it seemed that Dafang had mastered the "key" evidence and was confident that Wufang would lose the case.
As long as Wufang loses the lawsuit, Dafang will no longer be merciful. Just leaking a little bit of news about Aunt Cui's past will be enough to save his precarious reputation.
At the same time, it can also prevent Cui Weizhen from returning to the family. The status of the big house is unbreakable. They don't need to rely on the so-called emperor's favorite to rise. After all, they are already connected with the emperor's most favored prince.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but bring out a sarcastic smile. Over the years, the big house had exhausted all its agencies, and in the end, it was probably all in vain.
She will wait and see what Shura Field will happen soon.
Aunt Cui even smiled tacitly: "With Mrs. Madam's good words, I have been wronged for so many years, and now I have come to the end of my sufferings."
Mrs. Zhang looked at her smiling face, frowned, and felt uneasy for no reason.
