Chapter 258 He Li (Part [-])

"...the back must be straight, and the shoulders must not shake..."

In the wing room in the front yard of Qiwu Courtyard, two serious old women knelt and sat opposite Cui Wei, meticulously correcting her sitting posture.

Cui Wei gritted her teeth and straightened her waist, but her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

She has been 'kneeling' for two full hours, and at this moment she can still maintain a standard kneeling posture, which is already her limit. If she kneels down again, she may fall headfirst to the ground.

But the two mothers were still dissatisfied, and reminded in a cold voice: "Sanniang, what I said is to straighten your back, not to make you hang your neck... I will show you again, and Sanniang will watch carefully."

As she spoke, Mama Cui, who was short in stature, shook her large robe sleeves, her thin body was straightened up, her hands were naturally folded on her knees, her head drooped slightly, her eyes were looking straight ahead, the whole set of movements was flowing, standard but Not rigid, exuding the unique elegance of the family.

If an uninformed outsider sees Mama Cui's demeanor, they will definitely think that she is a lady from a certain family, but they will never expect that she is just a servant of Cui's family.

Even Cui Wei, who secretly resented Cui's mother for being "perverted", had to admire this point.

Cui Wei also saw the true abilities of the two mothers with her own eyes, so no matter how tired she was, she gritted her teeth and carried it to death.

However, there are some things that cannot be succeeded by death.After practicing for so long, Cui Wei has been severely tempered both mentally and physically. At this moment, no matter how graceful Cui's mother's sitting posture is, she doesn't have the energy to do it.

Tick, tick... Beads of sweat flowed down Cui Wei's cheeks, eyebrows, and nose to her chin, and then fell drop by drop on the back of her hands and knees.Her eyes were also blurred by sweat, Cui Wei felt that her spirit had been pulled out of her body, and she was floating dizzily.

In a daze, Cui Wei's half-hanging PP finally couldn't hold on, and sat on her calf all of a sudden.

"Snapped!"

The cane in Liu's mother's hand immediately hit Cui Wei's PP. The force was not heavy, at least it would not hurt people, but it was enough to 'wake up' Cui Wei who was in a trance.

"what!"

Cui Wei's body visibly trembled a few times, and her distracted thoughts returned instantly. She hurriedly lifted her PP, sat down on her knees again, and scolded the two mothers ten thousand times in her heart.In my mind, the scene of myself transforming into a little swallow, and then smashing two old godly women popped up.

Not realistic, but super cool!
"I'll show Sanniang one more time, Sanniang will watch carefully and learn by heart!"

Cui's mother didn't care what Cui Wei did in YY, she still had a straight face and taught her the rules bluntly.

"..." Cui Wei didn't say anything. In fact, she wouldn't pay attention to others. The only thing she can do now is to be obedient and learn those so-called aristocratic etiquette as soon as possible.

"You should put your hands down gently, and your fingers should be close together naturally... Sanniang will do it again with the old man..."

"Crack! Don't shake your wrist."

"Crack! You can't put your elbows on the small table."

After practicing like this for another hour, the two mothers allowed Cui Wei to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then continued to practice the etiquette of eating.

Watching the two mothers go out, Cui Wei carefully dropped the PP on the floor next to her legs, and sat with her body slightly tilted, with her legs still close together and her waist still straight.The lessons from the past reminded her that even after her mother left, she could not immediately slump on the ground indistinctly. If she was found out, the short fifteen-hour rest time would be cancelled, and she would be fined to practice for an extra hour.

"San Niang, drink some tea soup."

Cui Wei's personal maid, Xi Ren, came in with a tray, and in the white porcelain teacup, the warm tea soup was slowly steaming.

"Well," Cui Wei replied weakly, reached out to take the teacup, and drank several sips in succession before she regained her strength, sighed a long time, and said, "Huh, I'm exhausted, Xiren, Rubbed my legs and knelt all morning, and I lost all feeling in these two legs."

Xiren agreed, and knelt down at Cui Wei's feet, gently kneading her.

Xiren's skill was good, and his strength was just right, Cui Wei was so comfortable that he wanted to hum.

"By the way, why is it so quiet in the yard today? Where's the lady in the back? Why didn't you play the piano?"

After the sage bestowed her marriage, Cui Wei moved back to Qiwu Courtyard. After she came back, she found that there was an extra guest like Sister Lin in the courtyard.

This cousin Yang is sad all day long, with a sad face, and a delicate appearance like Xizi holding her heart at every turn. Cui Wei can't stand it, and whenever she is mentioned, she is mostly ridiculed.

"Go back to Sanniang, the servant girl doesn't know."

Xiren's attitude was very respectful, but his tone seemed alienated.

Cui Weixu was too tired, so she didn't notice the indifference of the close maid, and continued to gossip: "Where is Si Niang? Did she go to Rongshoutang to curry favor with the lobby wife again?"

Hmph, I really underestimated this fourth younger sister, she pretended to be well-behaved and honest on weekdays, but in private she tried her best to curry favor with Xiao Nan, and insisted on getting such a good marriage for herself.

Ever since she heard the good news about Cui Heng, Cui Wei's heart has been extremely unbalanced - she is also the daughter of the Cui family, and she is also married to the prince, why is it so difficult for her, but Cui Heng is so relaxed? !

"Back to San Niang, Si Niang didn't go to Rongshou Hall, but learned how to cook from San Niang in the kitchen."

The attacker bowed his head and replied.

"Learn to cook?"

Cui Wei nodded, that's right, both of them are engaged, and now it's normal for them to carry out 'bride training' separately.

"Sister-in-law Six, didn't I ask you to find someone to go to Daoxiangyuan to deliver a message to Sister-in-law Six, asking her to come here today? Has she ever been here?"

After the marriage was settled, Cui Wei was locked in the yard again to learn the rules.And after the incident at the Thanksgiving Temple, the maid who took care of Cui Wei was even more careful. Without the permission of the old lady or the two mothers, Cui Wei's master and servant could not go anywhere.

"Back to Sanniang, the servant girl has already gone to find someone. In the morning, Liu Niangzi sent a little maid to say that the husband and the second wife will return to Beijing the next day. She is busy cleaning the courtyard. If Sanniang has anything to do, she can directly order That little maid is."

"Aye and Aniang will be home the day after tomorrow?"

Cui Wei was very worried about these two parents who had never met before.Although she has integrated the memory of her real self and knows that her cheap father and strict aunt are not close to her, she is still worried that the shrewd and capable second wife will find out that something is wrong.

Alas, they came back at such an inappropriate time, even if they came back after she married into the palace.

By that time, she has become a legitimate princess, even if the second wife doesn't like her, she doesn't dare to embarrass herself too much.

Cui Wei didn't know that on the official road outside the capital, the second wife was waiting to come back to settle accounts with their siblings with a gloomy face.

Mrs. Liu didn't know either, but she could guess that after the second lady came back, the couple would definitely have a hard time.

But what is more difficult at the moment is the lawsuit of the Hepu Courtyard and her business.

"Sister, what should I do? If the lawsuit is not settled within a day, hundreds of mansions and shops will not be able to open. If the mansions are not open, the money we invested will be wasted?"

Liu Si'an was very anxious, rubbing his hands and walking back and forth in front of Mrs. Liu.

"Oh, sister, you should say something, it's been more than ten days, it can't be wasted like this forever."

Seeing that Mrs. Liu was silent, Liu Si'an became even more impatient, stopped and stood in front of Mrs. Liu, and urged: "Sister, why don't you go and ask the Princess, didn't she order someone to deliver a message to Jingzhao Mansion?" ? She is the daughter of the princess, why should Jingzhao give her some face?!"

Liu still didn't say a word.

Liu Si'an continued: "Besides, it's not a big case, it's just a farm slave who died, and we can just pay more money to the suffering master. If it doesn't work, let the monk take his life and close the lawsuit. If the princess is reluctant to part with that little boy, I will help her find a few more handsome young gentlemen, who will be younger, smarter, and more handsome than Monk Hua..."

Liu frowned, still thinking.

Liu Si'an sat down next to Mrs. Liu, and pushed her shoulder, "Sister, what's the matter, you should say something anyway. I sold all the shops and farms back then, and pooled up the money to buy something like that. Shares. If the business of Didian is over like this, the two of us—”

"Okay, stop talking."

Liu's heart was also anxious, and she was thinking hard about countermeasures, but Liu Si'an was still buzzing in her ears, making her even more anxious.

"Sister, it's fine if I don't say it, you say it. What should we do?" Seeing Liu's anger, Liu Si'an spoke with anger.

"What should I do? What else can I do? The matter has become serious, and now it is not an ordinary life lawsuit at all, but someone is taking the opportunity to make trouble."

Liu Shi is not a fool, after thinking about it for a few days, she also got the taste.

Whether it's the mansion or the lawsuit, it's just an excuse. Now it's clear that someone is plotting against Princess Nanping secretly, and they are implicated.

"Is there someone else? Who? Who is so bold to plot against Princess Nanping? Don't they know that the princess is favored by saints and queens, and even Princess Jinyang gives her three points?"

Liu Si'an was originally a bastard, he was not valued by his family, and he only hang out in the countryside on weekdays, mostly businessmen and commoners, he doesn't understand the rules of the game for the rich and powerful at all.

Mrs. Liu was not in the mood to preach, she thought over and over again, and finally said: "It doesn't matter who caused the trouble, the important thing is that the princess is really in trouble this time, we can't follow her all the way to the dark. In this way, you go to Wu Xiqi , Let’s just say that we want to open a few more wine shops, and we don’t have enough funds, so we want to sell the shares in Didian. If he can take over, sell it to him at a cheaper price. If he doesn’t want it, you can find another wealthy businessman. By the way, What is the last name of the merchant who bought the Grange last time? Go and find him."

"Sell it? Sister, the business of the Didian is very good. If it doesn't get involved in a lawsuit...wouldn't it be too bad to sell it now?"

Just now they were arguing to solve the trouble as soon as possible, but now that they have a plan, Liu Si'an is reluctant to part with it.

Mrs. Liu gave her younger brother a sideways look, and said angrily, "If you don't sell it now, it will be too late if you want to sell it after the lawsuit is over."

In the past few days, she had an ominous premonition, always feeling that Nanping's backer might collapse.

It has to be said that Liu's sixth sense is very accurate.

On the second day after the discussion between their siblings, Her Highness the Queen's order also arrived...
