Chapter 712
Wang didn't persuade her deeply, she knew that Zheng Shisanniang had a very hard life, and today she encountered such a bad thing, she was still not sure why she was entangled.

It doesn't matter if you cry, if you let out all the frustration in your heart, Zheng Shisanniang will be happy when you go out.

Silently handing over the handkerchief, Mrs. Wang let her go from weeping silently to sobbing softly, and finally weeping bitterly.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang and Zheng Shisanniang were not in the house, but in the Liushui Pavilion with flowing water everywhere.

I saw a small waterfall flowing from the rocks to the top of the pavilion. Thousands of water droplets hit the delicate tiles, making a crisp sound, and then merged into a stream of water along the small ditch surrounded by tiles, rushing. It flowed down, and finally all merged into the pool under the pavilion.

At this time, the waterfall on the rocks is still pouring clear pool water on the top of the pavilion, and the water flow in the Liushui Pavilion is so cyclical.

The sound of rushing water, crisp beating, and puffing into the water are intertwined. The sound is very loud and can be heard far, far away.

Therefore, under the cover of the loud sound of water, Zheng Shisanniang's bitter cry was not heard by anyone outside the pavilion, let alone spread outside.

After crying for half a stick of incense, Zheng Shisanniang held back her tears, wiped it with a handkerchief embarrassingly, and said in a strong nasal voice: "I made the sister-in-law laugh at me."

Mrs. Wang smiled slightly, and said softly: "Look at what you said, we are here to see you make incense. It's too late for me to admire, how can I be a joke."

While talking, Mrs. Wang ordered people to prepare warm water, bath beans and rouge water powder for washing, saying that the heat was too hot, both of them were wearing makeup and needed to freshen up.

It didn't take long for the maids to prepare the things and wait for Wang Shi and Zheng Shisanniang to remove the hairpin rings, clean their faces, and then redress their makeup.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Zheng Shisanniang became more and more grateful to Mrs. Wang, and secretly made up her mind to repay this kind-hearted cousin in the future.

Seeing that the two of them had packed up, Mrs. Wang calculated the time, and Mrs. Tai should have finished her anger, so she took Zheng Shisanniang's hand and walked slowly towards the main hall together.

As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Aniang, I have gained a lot of experience today. The Zheng family's fragrance mixing technique is really unique. There are several ancient recipes, which I have never heard of."

The Wang family was born in the Wang family of Langya, and is the top existence of the noble family. The inheritance of the Wang family is definitely longer than the current five surnames. The family background is not ordinary.

From this point alone, even Mrs. Tai can't say with conscience that her family is more noble than the Wang family.

Wang's saying that is definitely a great praise to Zheng's.

Rao Tai Furen was so angry that Xiao Nan ascended to heaven at this moment, she couldn't help pulling her stiff face, and said: "That's natural, the ancestors of the Zheng family are the most important inheritance, even after the war, they still keep some ancient recipes safely. kept it..."

Wang's face was full of admiration, and she couldn't see the disapproval in her heart at all, and she repeatedly praised: "There are ancient prescriptions, and there are people as ingenious as our Thirteen Niangs, no wonder Thirteen Niangs had the reputation of "Xiang Shisan" back then Woolen cloth."

As she said that, Wang pushed out Zheng Shisanniang, who was bowing her head, and praised without saying a word: "If I had known Shisanniang's ability earlier, even if I was cheeky, I would have invited my sister to teach my family. Han."

"...The cousin sister-in-law is absurd!"

Zheng Shisanniang was very embarrassed by the praise, and said in a voice as thin as a gnat.

Mrs. Tai was happy, her natal nephew was not up to date, and every time she came to Cui's house, she was either asking for intercession or recommendation (asking Cui Ze to recommend them to become officials). Rao, Mrs. Tai felt that her natal family was still noble, but she couldn't bear it. These people repeatedly embarrass her.

Zheng Shisanniang has given her a good face today, and even a person as proud as Wang's is full of praise, which makes Mrs. Tai very happy.

The anger towards Zheng Shisanniang that was caused by Xiao Nan's refusal just now disappeared in an instant—her family, Shisanniang, is such a good person, in such a pitiful situation, but the Xiao family is vicious and helps outsiders (such as Chai Jiuniang) ) are unwilling to help their relatives, it is really hateful.

Mrs. Tai put everything on Xiao Nan's head, but felt sorry for Zheng Shisanniang who caused this incident.

Sighing, Madam Tai said apologetically, "Little Shisan, Auntie, I'm sorry, I wanted to ask your sister-in-law Batang to help you, but, but—"

Mrs. Tai paused, as if she was thinking about how to speak, before she said after a while: "But she is also powerless. Her prescription is only for health preservation, and it doesn't have much magical effect. So, so, alas, it's all my aunt's fault that I didn't ask about it. Just be clear—”

Zheng Shisanniang was relieved when she saw that Mrs. Tai didn't take her anger out on her, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said, "Auntie, how can I blame you for this? It's all my son's fate. It's all my son's fault. For such a trivial matter of my son, I made you so troublesome."

"By the way, my uncle's birthday is just two days away. I don't know if there is still work that needs my son to do at home? Of course, my son also knows that with your aunt in charge, and a few capable daughters-in-law like cousin sisters-in-law, I will do it myself. Things have been prepared long ago. Ke'er is deeply taken care of by her uncle and aunt, and she always wants to do her best, but she never has the chance!"

What she said was sincere, and she also pointed out the most proud thing of Mrs. Tai, so all the remaining anger in her heart disappeared, and she happily took Zheng Shisanniang's hand and said: "I know you Filial piety, but everything at home has been prepared, and when the day comes, you can just come to the house with your husband for a drink."

"Hey, don't worry, we will come early in the morning!"

Zheng Shisanniang knew that the incident just now was over, she was completely relieved, and the smile on her face finally extended to her eyes.

……

Two days later, on May [-]th, it was Cui Ze's birthday. In previous years, everyone spent the summer in Lishan, and the villa in Lishan was not as big as the mansion in the capital, so no matter how much he wanted to do it, he couldn't do it. Can't do it.

This year was an exception. The people in the capital were all left in the capital by the sage's words. However, the atmosphere in the capital is not right these days. Even if they don't want to go out because of the hot weather, they will come out for a stroll today.

The birthday banquet was held by Cui Ze, one of the Five Prime Ministers. His ranking in the council hall was not very high, but he couldn’t resist having a good surname, good father, and good son. Cui Ze was quite capable among the Five Prime Ministers. Talkable.

When the old Xianggong was the prime minister, he recommended many people to become officials, and he also promoted many younger generations in the court. Those people have already become important ministers in the court.

Although the old man was gone, everyone still remembered his affection and took good care of Cui Ze.

As for Cui Youbo, he gave Cui Ze even more face. Before he reached his thirties, he had already become the governor and guarded one side for the emperor.

And in front of the saint, Cui Youbo is also very popular. Even if he is not in the capital, the saint still thinks of him from time to time. Some time ago, he directly granted the imperial seal to Cui Youbo's eldest daughter. What an honor this is ah.

With a father like this and a son like this, it is no wonder that after the expiration of his filial piety, Cui Ze could easily return to the court without having to find his own way.

Today, this Cui Xianggong's 66th birthday, no matter whether it is related or not, he wants to come in for a cup of birthday wine. Even if he can't find out any news, he is still happy.

Everyone thought so, so there was a bustling scene in front of the Cui family's gate, and the officials also came one after another, the Wutong hall and the nobles were listed, and the people arrived even more neatly than in the early court.

Even the head of the Cui family's direct branch, who has always been aloof, brought his eldest son to celebrate Cui Ze's birthday today.

There are a lot of guests, including a large number of female family members, including relatives, officials, and royal relatives. All of them have towering temples, hairpins with gold tinsel, and luxurious dresses, making the flower hall full of flowers for hospitality more and more lively. , Wealthy scene.

Wang's and Wei's were so busy that they didn't touch the ground, even Xiao Nan was embarrassed to stand aside, but rolled up his sleeves and entertained the female guests with his two sisters-in-law.

The most beautiful lady today is Mrs. Zheng. She is wearing a brand-new embroidered gold dress, with a high bun on her head, red gold step rocks inlaid with rubies, red gold flower tinsel, and the best jade hairpin all over her head. , in order to express her joy, she also tied a blooming red peony on the side of her hair.

Mrs. Tai sat in the main seat, and with this golden and bright red outfit, she looked very rich and noble, which made the female relatives who came to pay their respects envious.

A few elderly wives also sat around in front of Mrs. Tai, saying auspicious things non-stop, with envy and compliments mixed in their tones.

Mrs. Tai enjoyed everyone's flattery and flattery. It would be even more wonderful if there were no Cui Lishi and Cui Jiang by her side.

That's right, as early as when Cui Ze decided to hold a big birthday banquet, he called the roll call. When Mrs. Zheng entertains guests, Mrs. Cui and Li must be by her side.

As for Cui Jiang, he insisted on coming.

This is her brother's birthday banquet, how could she not be there?
Besides, she has received so many benefits from Xiao Nan, and Wang Shi and Wei Shi have also "respected" her for the past two years. How can she let the three nieces and daughters-in-law suffer?
Therefore, Cui Jiang deliberately sought out his elder brother, saying that after all, Cui Lishi is getting old and has limited energy, but the birthday banquet can't be over in a short while, so it's better to let her follow her sister-in-law.In this way, it can not only supervise Mrs. Tai, but also show the sincerity of the Cui family's hospitality.

If it were someone else, she would not be able to speak so bluntly, but who is Cui Jiang, there is nothing she dares to say.

Cui Ze knew his younger sister the most. After hearing this, he sighed in his heart, but he didn't reprimand him. After thinking about it, he felt that although Cui Jiang's words were rough, they still made sense, so he nodded and agreed.

So there were two great gods around Zheng Shi. On the surface, it was because the Cui family valued guests, and even the most senior aunt came out to entertain guests. But the real reason was known to many people who were acquainted with the Cui family.

The female relatives looked at the two great gods on the main seat, and then turned their heads to look at Xiao Nan who was entertaining guests in the crowd, and they immediately realized the "truth".

Of course, there are also female relatives who are at odds with the Cui family (or with Xiao Nan). Seeing this situation, the corner of her mouth can't help but smile, and she looks at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law maliciously...
