Aunt Cui lives in Rongxi Hall, only a few steps away from Ye Zhenzhen.
Aunt Cui was chatting with the maids, and was a little surprised when she saw Ye Zhenzhen coming over: "I'm afraid you don't have any leisure time at the moment, why do you have time to come here?"
Whether she is the wife of the Cui family, Mrs. Jingningbo or Mrs. Ningguo, just one of these identities is enough to be prominent. As soon as Ye Zhenzhen returned to Jingning County, she received many greeting messages. Even Cui Zhenzhen, who had always been unsociable,
The aunt had already received a lot of money, so she asked this question.
"I have no time to meet, so I rejected them all." Ye Zhenzhen sat down next to Aunt Cui and glanced at the maids around her: "Mom, I have something to discuss with you."
Seeing her expression, Aunt Cui knew it was a big deal. She waved the waiter to leave, and then asked, "What's important?"
Aunt Cui was not clear about what her son was doing now, and Ye Zhenzhen did not dare to explain too clearly, so she briefly stated the purpose of coming here today: "...it is a good thing to respond to the imperial court's call, but after all,
This is your dowry property, mother. It is not good for us as children to cause you to suffer losses. The money you lose will be subsidized by you."
"Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is a good thing. Wei Zhen is now His Majesty's minister, and he sets an example in every word and deed. As a mother, I will naturally not hold him back."
Aunt Cui only has a son like Cui Weizhen. Now that her son is successful and his life is going smoothly, she will naturally not hold on to money. She said without hesitation: "No need to subsidize, just go to my account. After a hundred years, these things will be paid to me."
It all belongs to you, no need to do anything more."
At this point, Ye Zhenzhen seemed to be out of touch if she refused any further. After all, Aunt Cui was being raised by her and Wei Zhen, and she did not expect the tax income from the fields. She nodded generously and said: "This is
The matter is serious and we must send a trustworthy and loyal servant to handle it. Does my mother have a suitable candidate?"
Aunt Cui quickly found a candidate: "Let Li Yue, the man from Qiuting, come over. He is an old servant of the fifth house and the deputy general manager of the uncle's house. He can also make people feel at ease when doing things."
Li Yue had taken up the post under Zhang San's recommendation not long ago. Now is the time when he is full of energy, so it would be a good idea to let him do this.
That's how things settled.
Ye Zhenzhen was not in a hurry to socialize and stayed in Fuxi Courtyard to talk to Aunt Cui. About an hour later, Cui Weizhen came back. Of course, he did not forget to bring the two children back when he came back.
The two children Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming didn't know what game they had just played. They were sweating profusely in the cold weather. Cui Weizhen, a grown man, was really careless and let the children come back sweating.
Aunt Cui and Ye Zhenzhen didn't have time to blame him. They hurriedly gathered around to wipe the child's sweat and change clothes. Regardless of their resistance, they each drank a bowl of ginger soup to keep out the cold before they felt relieved.
During the Chinese New Year, it would be bad if the wind blows.
Cui Weizhen was only thinking about things along the way and did not notice the condition of his children. Now faced with the double accusations from his mother and wife, he couldn't bear it for a while and looked away with a guilty conscience.
After all, Aunt Cui felt sorry for her son. She didn't have the heart to say anything to scold her. Instead, she asked the maid to bring some snacks for him to fill her stomach. Cui Weizhen wasn't hungry, but she also ate one for the honorable one. Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming had been playing for a long time and were already hungry.
Okay, one snack per bite, it’s delicious.
Ye Zhenzhen was also greedy and ate several pieces before stopping.
It was not convenient to talk in Fuxi Yuan. When she returned to her yard at night, Ye Zhenzhen asked Cui Weizhen: "How are things going?"
"We have reached an agreement with Uncle Six, and he will leave to handle the matter in person in a few days."
Ye Zhenzhen lay on Cui Weizhen's chest in surprise and asked in confusion: "Sixth uncle will do it himself? It's enough to send a reliable steward to do it, why bother him to do it himself?"
"The Cui family's land is not as good as my mother's dowry. The implications are complicated and I have to handle it myself, Uncle Six."
Although Aunt Cui's land comes from the Wang family, it has become his dowry. She is free to deal with it how she wants to deal with it. However, the Cui family's land is different. Although it has been delivered to Qinghe, it is not so easy for the servants to cut off the connection.
, the marriage of the servants of the Cui family is complicated, and the interests involved are not simple, and ordinary stewards may not be able to manage this mess well when they return.
Of course, the most important point is that Qinghe might try to stop it.
"Why do they stop it?"
When Ye Zhenzhen heard this, she frowned and said angrily: "The Cui family has already been divided into clans and each has its own way of life. How can they have the nerve to point fingers at us?"
She didn't hesitate in her mind, and she kept moving her hands, poking Cui Weizhen's chest again and again. It didn't hurt, but it made her feel itchy.
Cui Weizhen chuckled lightly, stretched out his arms to take the person into his arms, and said jokingly: "Look, are you angry? Jingning and Qinghe were originally from the same family, and the servants were not spared. As soon as it was spread here, we would release the tenants.
Moreover, the Qinghe side immediately knew about the reduction of land rent. This kind of thing that shakes the foundation, the uncle naturally does not want to happen, and will definitely take action to stop it. "
Yes, why didn't she think of it? This is very easy to understand. Just like a divorced couple living with a child each, there must be no signs of conflict between them. One of the parties is living more and more prosperously, and the child
If the development is getting better and better, wouldn’t the other parent’s child have some thoughts?
Complaining about one's own family is not a big deal, because one is afraid that one's children will go to the other party directly. After all, they are a family to begin with, and others can't say anything.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Wang Junshen to intervene.
Thinking of the possible situations in the future, Ye Zhenzhen felt relieved. She looked closer at Cui Weizhen's face and saw that he also had a faint smile on his face. She suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Weizhen, could this be you?
Has it been planned long ago?"
Cui Weizhen doesn't need to specifically plan for such a natural thing, but he is interested in getting involved in the consequences that may follow.
However, there is no need to tell Zhen'er in detail, lest she ask endless questions.
Cui Weizhen hummed softly, which was regarded as an affirmative answer. Ye Zhenzhen was satisfied and felt that this was very consistent with his temperament. At this time, she did not complain that he was evil, but praised: "Weizhen, you are so smart.
Ah, this is the legendary strategist."
The warm and fragrant soft jade was in his arms, but the beauty was unconscious and nuzzled in his arms. The fragrance after bathing lingered like a mist. Cui Weizhen's eyes dimmed slightly, he turned over and pressed her on the couch, his voice was low and hoarse: "Zhen
If your son is curious, my husband will show you what planning means..."
The curtains on the Babu bed were removed, blocking a curtain of spring light. As for how Cui Weizhen arranged his troops inside the curtains, how he arranged his troops vertically and horizontally, outsiders have no way of knowing.
