Chapter 25 Dou Mansion Family Banquet

Today is the day when the young man returns to the city. Miao Rong specially wore a beautiful dress. It is still very early before the end of class, so she urges Zhang Wu to go out of the city to pick up someone.

It had been more than ten days since she had been separated from her husband. If Cui Che hadn't allowed it, she would have wanted to go out of the city to visit him every day.

After finally returning to Zhang Wu, he learned that Xiao Langjun had an appointment with his classmate. Although he was disappointed, he also knew Cui Che's purpose of going to Chang'an to study, so he sat obediently at the door of the house, holding his chin and waiting.

The night was getting darker, and the cold wind in the winter night was biting. Unknowingly, the girl holding her chin began to hold her arms to keep warm.

After waiting for a long time, Miao Rong finally saw Cui Che at the end of the street. Just as she was about to greet him, she saw clearly the graceful woman behind him.

"This sister from the Mu family will live in our house for the time being. Miaorong, you will arrange a place for her later."

Cui Che's voice rang in her ears, finally bringing Miao Rong back to her senses.

She responded softly, her eyes still falling on the plump breasts of the woman surnamed Mu, and a feeling of inferiority arose spontaneously.

But after all, she is the eldest maid in the house, so she should be wary of this woman, and she cannot be so petty as to embarrass the young man.

Miaorong still chose a quiet room in the mansion for Mu Xieli, and even prepared all the daily necessities for her, treating Mu Xieli completely as a guest.

After placing Mu Xieli in place, Miao Rong returned to the main courtyard and served Cui Che to wash up. She was making the bed for him as usual. When she came to the bed, she stopped again and asked quietly:

"Where will the young man stay tonight?"

Cui Che would be wrong:

"Axiu, Xuangan, Wen Wei (Dou Wei) and I were living together in the academy. The three of us were snoring like thunder, one after another. Now we have finally returned home, and we can be clean for two days."

"This servant is not asking about Young Master Xiu, but Miss Mu who just entered the house."

Miaorong said hesitantly.

"She is not an unmarried girl."

When Cui Che heard this, he finally realized that the little girl had a misunderstanding. He immediately explained with a smile and told her Mu Xieli's identity.

Miao Rong's mouth opened slightly when she heard this. She didn't understand why Xiao Langjun wanted to save the enemy's wife from the fire pit, but she was also used to what Cui Che said. Anyway, Xiao Langjun was smarter than her and must have considered it more thoughtfully.

, since it is said to repay the emperor's kindness, it has its own reason.

"Okay, just make the bed for me and don't think too much."

"Young Master, do you want me to warm your bed first?"

"I'm not telling you not to think nonsense. That's fine. Who taught you all this?"

"The cooks say they take care of the young man's daily life, and that's what you have to do."

"Well, if there are three of us, there must be a teacher from me. We can interact with them more in the future. If we have the opportunity, we can learn cooking from them, which is also a craft."

Cui Che sniffed the fragrance of the bedding, and when he fell asleep, Mu Xieli looked at the bright moon through the window paper, but couldn't sleep for a long time.

Maybe it was the unfamiliar environment that made it difficult for her to sleep, or maybe she was thinking of her son Gao Heng.

It is more likely that she was lamenting the changes in her situation. The powerful people regarded her as the god of plague and did not dare to contaminate her. All their family wealth was wiped out. Mu Xieli, who had been in the palace since she was a child, had no skills. She thought she could only follow her mother-in-law as a prostitute, but she was killed by a young man.

Bought back the house.

It happened that the late husband and the young man had a hatred of destroying the family.

When Mu Xieli first entered, he locked the door because he was worried that Cui Che would break his promise and send someone to humiliate and abuse him. But if Cui Che really had a human face and a beast's heart, how could a door lock stop him.

The Cui Mansion was exceptionally quiet at night, with only the cold wind howling outside. Mu Xieli finally calmed down and fell into a deep sleep with longing for the future.

At the same time, Deng Guogong's Mansion, several streets away, was much more lively.

Deng Guogong Dou Chi had seven sons. Except for the seventh son Dou Wei, who was underage, the other six were all married, and they could be said to be full of children and grandchildren.

As the saying goes, mothers and fathers love children all over the world. This is absolutely true. During Weishui Academy's three-day holiday every month, the youngest son finally returned home. Dou Chi specially organized a family banquet, including his nephew Dou Yi and Dou Yi's three sons.

, was also called to join in the fun.

Dou Yi and Dou Wei are cousins, but they are very different in age. One is fifty-nine years old, and the other is only twelve years old, just a teenager.

During the dinner, Dou Wei and his family talked about interesting things in the academy, and naturally the incident of Cui Che and Xu Menlixue was indispensable.

Since ancient times, respecting teachers and teaching has always been something worthy of admiration. The six-year-old boy has such a desire to learn, which naturally attracts everyone's admiration.

Unexpectedly, Dou Wei said it smoothly and revealed the previous incident in the brothel.

His father Dou Chi said calmly:

"After the banquet, you will receive your own instructions."

Dou Wei's face immediately dropped.

At this time, his eldest brother Dou Mao said contemptuously:

"I heard what my seventh brother said, and I feel that Cui Che is very interested in fame and fortune. We should not have close friendship with this person."

Dou Chi glanced at his eldest son and sighed secretly in his heart. He was so stupid. How could he entrust the family business with him in the future? The burden of maintaining the family power would still fall on the second son.

The eldest son, Dou Mao, was an official under the influence of his father and had no great achievements. However, the second son, Dou Gong, was valued by the emperor. He participated in the Pingqi War and made great achievements. He was moved to the Grand Palace Bo, Shangzhu Kingdom, Duke of Fu Kingdom, and governor of Yongzhou.

Perhaps the sense of oppression brought by having such an outstanding younger brother also developed Dou Mao's yin and yang character.

Dou Yi, who was passing by for the banquet, caught a glimpse of the disappointment in his uncle's eyes, so he explained to his cousin:

"Everyone in the world is running around for fame and wealth, and even worse, they don't hesitate to offend the public. But the Cui family is only six years old, and he acts thoughtfully and appropriately. He not only gets the name he wants, but also makes people blameless. He is so smart. If he knows how to restrain his sharpness one day, he will become the world's leader.

Great weapon."

Dou Wei didn't expect that his cousin would have such a high opinion of his classmates. Looking at his father, he also had a look of approval on his face, and he immediately forgot about his eldest brother's assertion that they should not be friends with each other.

The discussion about Cui Che ends here. He is not qualified to be the focus of discussion at Dou Mansion's family banquet. Most of the people's topics revolve around the battle between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty for Huaibei.

There were cheers and laughter among the toasts and chopsticks, but there was no endless feast. The night was already dark. Dou Yi stood up and said goodbye to his uncle. Dou Mao took him and his three nephews out of the house on behalf of his father.

The two mansions were not far apart. Dou Yi and others returned home smelling of alcohol. A cute girl who was looking forward to her father and brother stopped running. She wrinkled her nose and said in disgust:

"Why is Grandpa so drunk again?"

Dou Yi had a daughter when he was old, and he loved her in every way since she was a child.

He stroked his daughter's little head and sighed:

"If you were born as a man, how could you be a son of the Cui family?"

"Cui Jiazi?"

The girl was puzzled, but did not ask in detail. She knew that her father had always regretted that she was born a daughter by mistake, and that she was full of talents and could only use them to support her husband and educate her children.

Before the Qi Dynasty was destroyed, the Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had a bad relationship with the Turkic princess Ashina. The girl advised her:

"Now that the four sides are not at peace, the Turks are still strong. I hope that my uncle will suppress his feelings, comfort Queen Ashina, and think of the common people. As long as the Turks can help, then the Chen Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River and the Gao Qi in the Guandong region will not cause you any trouble."

The incident happened last year, when the girl was seven years old.

Perhaps only such smart women can educate the brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
