Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 65

Ning Xiang was a little strange, why did Shi Cui think of asking her to intercede in this life, but she didn't show up in her previous life?When her cousin entered the examination room in the previous life, she was still working as a maid beside Pei Jinghan, wouldn't it be better to do things better than redeeming her now?
If my cousin is confident, he probably isn't, because if everything remains the same, my cousin is still not on the list this year. I don't know if it's because I don't have enough knowledge, or the examiner, Xuezheng, is really a corrupt official.

But even if it was the latter, Ning Xiang would never help, it was too late for her to hide from Pei Jinghan, so why would she take the initiative to beg him for such a thing?
My aunt can cruelly ignore the life of her mother and younger brother, why should she care about her cousin's hospital exam?The college exam takes two exams every three years, this year is not good, he still has many, many years to work hard, even if there is only one year left, Ningxiang will not care.

"This matter is too big, have you discussed it with your aunt?" Ning Xiang stood up, as if she was going to find her uncle in the backyard.

Cui hurriedly turned to the door, stopped her from persuasion, and said, "Your uncle is honest and cowardly, and he can't sleep well at night when he overcharges people for a penny. Please help me, so we simply don’t mention it to him. Xiang’er, listen to me, Master Hou is the biggest official in our Tai’an Mansion, and the words of the prince are more effective than the prefect. That's all, when your cousin becomes a scholar, our family will be rich, right?"

Ning Xiang immediately understood that her uncle didn't know the real purpose of her aunt's coming to find her.

Facing Cui's scorching gaze, Ning Xiang showed a look of embarrassment, "I'm young and ignorant, I'd better discuss it with my uncle."

But I knew in my heart that my uncle would never agree.

Cui knew her husband better than anyone else, so she was not willing to let Ning Xiang talk about it, and reached out to stop her, "Xiang'er, why don't you understand what Auntie means, you are familiar with the son, and you can get things done after a short walk. Why worry your uncle?"

"What did you ask Xiang'er to do?" The door curtain was raised, Zhang Man led Amu in and asked suspiciously.

Cui immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, you..."

"Uncle, my aunt wants to entrust me to beg the eldest son to help my cousin with this year's college entrance examination." Ningxiang interrupted Cui Shi calmly, and then signaled her younger brother to come to her side with her eyes.

Amu listened to her sister the most, let go of her uncle's hand and ran behind her sister, looking nervously at her uncle and aunt opposite.

Cui felt guilty, a little afraid to look at her husband next to her.

The husband is honest and honest. Since his sister-in-law died of illness, his temper has become a little tougher. Although he listens to her most of the time, whenever she speaks ill of the Ningxiang siblings, the man immediately gets anxious with her, slaps the table hard, and stares at her. The look of yelling at her with closed eyes is very scary.In the final analysis, Cui is bullying and fearing hard. If he hadn't relied on the youngest son in his belly, Zhang Man would have taken the money away. Fortunately, except for being in bed, her husband would not be hard a few times throughout the year.

There was no movement around him, only the man's breathing gradually increased.

Cui looked at her husband with a guilty conscience, Zhang Man didn't dare to look at her niece, but seeing her nephew's uneasy black and white eyes, Zhang Man still felt her face was hot, as if she had been slapped twice in front of her niece by his wife.

How stupid is he to believe that his wife has really discovered her conscience and really wants to make up with her niece and niece?
She is willing to give away good things because she asks for something big!
To let the niece ask the prince to go through the back door?That's what corrupt officials do. Why does the wife think that the son will violate the court's laws and regulations for the sake of his niece?What face does a wife have to ask her niece to help her cousin?The son's ability is to win the show, but if he fails to win, it means that he has no ability, and it has nothing to do with the niece!
"Xiang'er, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. It's not easy for you to serve others these years. An An will live at home in the future, so don't go to the Hou's mansion." Zhang Man lowered his head and said, dragging Cui Shi away Going out, "Your aunt and I will go first, and uncle will come to see you some other day."

He was ashamed to stay in front of his niece any longer.

Cui is afraid that her husband will know her little thoughts. Now that the matter is revealed, after all, she is used to domineering, and it is related to the future of the eldest son, and whether she can quickly become a scholar. His mother is called madam, Cui Simply throwing away her husband, glaring at him and reasoning, "Why am I talking nonsense? Tell me clearly, which sentence am I talking nonsense? Hu San was not as good as Honglin in studying since he was a child. Why do you think he won the prize?" Didn't we Honglin, a scholar, win?"

Zhang Man is not as loud as hers, but he has his own reasons, "Master Gao said that the college exams test their talents and learning, and they also test their character. Hong Lin was too impetuous to fail once, and he may not fail the exam this time. Don't you Slandering Master Xuezheng all day long, Mr. Gao commented on Hu San’s article in the school last year, and his writing was indeed better than Honglin’s, you..."

Cui yelled at him, "What do you know, a farmer? In order to curry favor with Mr. Xuezheng, of course he said that Hu San's article is good!"

She spit on her face, and Zhang Man wiped it off in embarrassment. He couldn't speak to his wife, so he dragged her outside, "What's the matter, go home and make a noise, don't embarrass yourself here!"

Cui refused to leave, and struggled hard, just in time for Zhang Man to lift his foot across the threshold, she pushed her hard, fell forward and fell to the ground.

Cui was stunned and wanted to help her husband, but Ning Xiang rushed over to help her uncle up.

Zhang Man was ashamed and ashamed, lowered his head and said: "Xiang'er, don't worry about it..."

Ningxiang patted the dirt on her uncle's body by herself, and said calmly: "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help my cousin, it's just that my aunt really thinks highly of me. The son and Lord Hou have always been upright, and the military discipline is strict. The son will hand over the matter to the son. Help, the prince is only willing to lend him money to let him find others to deal with, and he does not ask for help. Think about it, the prince even distinguishes between public and private with his old friends who are close to him. He will help me a little maid? I don’t know. Go begging, the prince doesn't know his cousin, he can't help or slander, once I ask, the prince mistakenly thinks that the cousin is someone who is ignorant and just wants to go through the back door, the prince is angry, if he goes to study politics What should I do if I sue my cousin?"

After finishing talking and taking pictures of the soil, Ning Xiang walked into the room quickly, and returned the skirt that Cui Shi had just given her on the kang, and said in shame: "Auntie, I really can't help you with my cousin's affairs. Take it back, you don’t have to be polite when you come back, it’s too extravagant.”

Cui frowned at her, "Is what you said true?"

She didn't know what Pei Jinghan was like.

Ning Xiang looked back at her frankly, "Auntie doesn't believe me, you can send someone to inquire about it."

Pei Jinghan and his son's official style is indeed good, but they have done more or less the use of power for personal gain. Since they are using power for personal gain, of course they will not be so stupid that they will be caught by others. The dignitaries may know it in their hearts, but how could ordinary villagers know?Even if Mrs. Cui went to Fucheng to inquire, she would not hear a bad word from the Pei family and his son.

Cui still didn't believe it, thinking that her niece just didn't want to help her.

Zhang Man could see what his wife was thinking, and if he refused to reason, he dragged her out.

Ning Xiang followed behind to send it off, without mentioning the meal.

The husband is strong, but the niece refused to say anything. Cui knew that today's matter could not be done, but she still didn't give up on the road to the Hou's mansion through her niece. She patted her husband's hand funny and angrily, "Let's go, let's go!" , I’ll go with you, but you asked me to leave things to Xiang’er!”

Zhang Man was stunned.

Cui took the opportunity to break free, put the skirt in her hand to Ningxiang again, and apologized: "Xiang'er, my aunt doesn't understand anything, so I came to beg you rashly. After listening to your aunt, I understand how confused I am. But this Auntie really gave you the skirt..."

"I appreciate my aunt's kindness, but my skirt is really enough to wear, and I happen to have a skirt of this color, so auntie should take it home." Ning Xiang resolutely refused to accept it.

Cui Shi was really reluctant to give it away again, just because of his face and politeness.

At the door of the kitchen in the east courtyard, seeing Cui's hypocrisy, Mrs. Li became furious, and sarcastically said: "Hurry up and take it back to your daughter, I really think it is a good material, our Xianger Lianhou Mansion You didn’t bring back the silk and satin clothes of those big maids, so you would be curious about your rag skirt?”

The big strong lady had already moved to the door of Ningxiang's house to watch the excitement, and she was shocked to forget the melon seeds she hadn't swallowed in her mouth, and she was so anxious that Ningxiang said, "Why is Xiang'er so stupid, you don't like to bring it back to me?" wear it!"

Ning Xiang smiled, seeing that Cui Shi grabbed the skirt and stopped pushing her, she took a step back.

Amu looked at his aunt, and suddenly took off the golden longevity lock around his neck, and handed it over like his sister did, "Auntie, here you are."

Cui was reluctant to part with the skirt, let alone the long-lived lock, and was hesitating whether to shirk again, when Li sneered again: "Ah Mu is good, we don't care about her things, don't look at the golden ones outside, It’s all copper inside, so it’s not worth a few bucks!”

That's bullshit, gilded, and a rarity in the country.

Cui stifled her anger, and now they all came out, snatched the long life lock from her family, looked at Li and taunted loudly: "Yes, Amu, my aunt's family has no money, so I can't give you a red gold one." Changshengsuo, your aunt is rich, she will give it to you someday, remember to show it to your aunt, and it will also open your eyes!"

Mrs. Li was not angry at all, she laughed and said: "I have no money, and I can't afford a gold-coated long-life lock. If I don't have money, I will be obedient. If you don’t come to the door, you only pretend to be a good person if you ask someone to come! Seeing that your face is quite pale, you must have applied four or five layers of powder, right? How much is that worth? The ghost is going to pick the powder on her face!"

"you……"

"Stop arguing and go home!"

Zhang Man finally showed his power once, and roared with his eyes wide open.

In Xu's territory, her husband didn't help her, Cui knew that no matter how much she quarreled, she would be at a disadvantage, so she gouged out Li's eyes, and quickly got on the donkey cart.

The big strong lady cheerfully said: "Sister, come and have a seat when you are free."

She is in the same village as Zhang Man, and she knew Cui before she got married.

Cui sat in front of the car and ignored her.

The donkey cart quickly turned the corner and was out of sight.

Ning Xiang sighed in her heart.

She didn't even know how her uncle had lived with Cui for so many years.

"Sister..." After all the outsiders left, Amu finally couldn't bear it, hugged his sister's thigh and started crying.

Ning Xiang thought that her younger brother was reluctant to part with the longevity lock, so she squatted down and coaxed, "Amu, don't cry, next time I go to the market, my sister will take you there, and my sister will buy you one."

Amu shook his head, leaned against his sister's arms and wiped his eyes while twitching, "I don't want it, I will earn money to buy it when I grow up, and I will also buy a satin skirt for my sister, a donkey cart for my sister, and powder... ..."

What his aunt had, he bought for his sister.

The younger brother will protect herself now, Ning Xiang's eyes were sore, she calmed down for a moment, kissed her younger brother on the forehead and said: "Okay, sister will wait."

Amu nodded, stopped crying, looked at her sister, and said, "I still want to be a scholar and become a high official!"

The little guy spoke very seriously, Ning Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, and kissed her younger brother hard, "Okay, sister is waiting for Amu to become a high official!"

Who said she was a helpless orphan girl?
She has lost her parents, but she still has her uncles and aunts, as well as her good brother who knew to protect her at a young age.

She is dependable.
