Chapter 1147 Chapter 1147: Artemisia Ascaris (Part 1) [Please vote for me]
Hua Hua Hua——
Cui Mi was about to pay his respects to his father when he met his brother on the road.
As we walked into the inner courtyard, we heard the sound of something being overturned, followed by a question with suppressed anger: "Cui Zhishan, do you have the guts to repeat it to me, the fiancée you have set for Daxiong? Which family do you come from? Do you think I have any temper at all?"
The Cui Mi brothers looked at each other.
Just as he was hesitating whether to leave quietly and thoughtfully make room for his parents to quarrel, Cui Hui came from inside the house and asked in a low voice: "Come in outside the door, what are you doing secretly?"
Cui Xiong The brother could only bite the bullet and step into the hospital.
I first greeted my parents with my tail between my legs, then raised my head and took a quick glance. Everything in the hall was normal, except that the desk in front of my father was turned over, and a bunch of letters were scattered on the floor. The mother stood in the middle of the mess, and the father sat silently.
Cui Xiong bit the bullet and said: "Since father and mother still have things to discuss, my son will not disturb me and you can continue talking."
At this moment, he just wants to stay away from the battlefield.
He wasn't afraid of the situation escalating because they couldn't argue.
My mother has a straightforward temperament, but she can become irritable if she is too enthusiastic. My father is the complete opposite. It is said that nothing can make him lose control since childhood. It was the same in the past. Whenever the couple had conflicts, the mother would argue, while the father would listen quietly.
Cui Xiong is happy for this.
This is much better than those couples in other aristocratic families who share the same bed but have different dreams.
At that time, Cui Mi, who was young, said that sooner or later the two of them would separate.
[My father loved my mother so much, why did he divorce her? 】
【Because they can't quarrel. 】
Cui Xiong was confused: [Isn’t it a good thing that we can’t quarrel? 】
Dou Ding Cui Mi said in an old-fashioned tone: [It's not all good things. The mother quarreled with the father because she wanted to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, but the father was as dull and silent as a piece of wood. The mother would only get angrier as she watched. 】
【Why is this so? ] Cui Xiong couldn't figure it out at all.
Cui Mi said: [I don’t know, my grandmother said so. 】
Cui Xiong didn’t understand this when he was young, but now he is an adult, and he understands the problems in his parents’ relationship to some extent. Just as a son, he couldn't give advice to his father on his behalf.
Watching the couple arguing again, Cui Xiong’s head got big.
In less than two attempts, my father can drive my mother away again.
Cui Xiong wanted to escape, but Cui Hui couldn't agree.
"Big Xiong, why don't you run away if you stay!"
This sentence was like a nail nailing Cui Xiong's feet to the ground. He didn't dare to take another half step and knelt back with his neck curled up.
"Does Daxiong know which girl your father has chosen for you?"
Cui Xiong said honestly: "Uh... I know."
Cui Hui sneered: "You ”
Cui Xiong lowered his head lower: "Hmm..."
"Hmm, what?" Although Cui Hui deliberately used the theme to play this outburst, directing and acting it himself, her eldest son's reaction made her furious and followed her. The Choi Ji Sun next to me is really a mold Come out, "The prince of the country has a male favorite who is the You family. The daughter of the You family that your father has chosen for you is his biological niece! You Cui family father and son, no, three generations of grandfather and grandson, are really bullying others!"
< br>Only from the surface, it is indeed outrageous.
My ex-wife’s beloved niece is going to marry her son.
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law disliked her for so many years because she was not from a high family and did not belong to the Cui family. As a result, she turned around and decided to give her own son a new family that relied on male favors to rise up. No matter how bad she was, Cui Hui was still a good person. The You family settled in a poor place in the market. With the help of good-looking and talented men, she climbed into the king's bed, and she was able to achieve great heights. Is it more noble than her?
It is impossible for the ex-father-in-law and ex-mother-in-law to think highly of You.
In the final analysis, he still despises the son she gave birth to.
She is just disgusting.
It would be suspicious if Cui Hui didn't cause a scene.
She was just acting at first, and took the opportunity to avenge Cui and Cui Zhi's family. However, she used too much force and acted out her emotions. The grievances they had suffered all broke out at this moment, and tears welled up from their eyes. Cui Zhi and his son were really panicked.
"Ke Wu, please listen to my explanation."
"Mother——"
Cui Hui pushed Cui Zhi away, who was an eyesore, and covered his expression with a handkerchief to avoid revealing his secrets and his strange aura. Said: "Explanation? What misunderstanding?" Is it worthy for the Master of the Cui family to deign to explain to me, a commoner? Are you cheating on my son, or are you cheating on me? "
Cui Zhi spoke up! To comply.
How does Cui Hui know him?
Afraid of going too far and ruining the plan, he opened his mouth to intercept Cui Zhi's words, turned his back to the man, and laughed at himself: "Haha, what's the use if I don't agree? The three of you with the surname Cui belong to the Cui family of a wealthy family. My surname is Cui. Cui is just a common man, so what qualifications do he have to comment on your marriage plan?"
Cui Zhidao: "This is just a delaying tactic."
Cui Hui said no on his face. trust.
Cui Zhi explained patiently: "I have no intention of offending you or Hou Bai! The relationship between the Cui family and the royal family is complicated, and there are many entanglements of interests. They have tried to install spies more than once, but they have never succeeded in the past. If so. If you refuse again, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Cui. But I just agree verbally to appease people first."
"It's better to keep people under your nose than to guard against them day and night."
It's not really a marriage, just an engagement.
Cui Zhi said calmly: "The You family has a shallow foundation."
A shallow foundation means that it will be easy to uproot it when necessary in the future. The royal family intervened in Cui Xiong's marriage, but they did not want Cui to win over allies through marriage. It was normal for the royal family to arrange a female queen with a small family but a sensitive identity. For the Cui family and the royal family, it was a game between the two sides. One side only produced a title that was unknown when it would be fulfilled, and the other only produced a girl from a small family.
If things really collapse in the future, what sacrifices can be made?
Cui Xiong’s marriage was delayed for two years.
The head of the country suffered zero losses. She didn't even lose a royal concubine, but a niece who was favored by a man.
As for the daughter of the You family who was used as a pawn in the game?
You himself couldn’t wait to sacrifice his life, so Cui and the royal family would naturally have no worries if they insisted on wading into this muddy water.
When chess players play chess, do they think about whether the pieces are willing?
“The relationship is complicated? How complicated?”
Cui Hui pretended not to understand, was arrogant and jealous, and had a strange attitude.
But I was really sweating inside.
If the daughter of the You family had not changed, she might have died in an unknown way - yes, she would have died, either the royal family would have done it or it would have been the Cui family. When her former parents-in-law refused to let her enter the family, they not only expressed disdain, but also failed to defeat her eldest son in action, but actually sent people to kill Cui Hui quietly.
Take action more than once.
There are only two times Cui Hui knows about it.
There are even more people who were secretly stopped by Cui Zhi.
For the aristocratic family, the lives of ordinary people in the city may not be as good as that of a maid serving a first-class maid, and they are not even qualified to be treated as a plaything. Cui Zhi was as offended by her as his daughter-in-law, but he was not polite to others. He really does what he says!
Cui Zhi did not doubt that he was there, and continued to tell him with emotion and reason: "Because Cui made a bet on the king back then."
Of course it was impossible to directly tell him at the beginning. Stud.
At that time, Wang Ji, the vassal, had not many people to use in her fiefdom, so she used her jade pendant to find Cui Zhi. Cui Zhinian felt guilty for doing this, and helped recommend many small households who relied on the Cui family. Men. After observing for a while, I found that the fiefdom was well taken care of.
Wang Ji sent Mei Meng over again to discuss negotiations.
It means that he hopes Cui will invest more.
After Cui Zhi’s evaluation, he discovered some clues.
What really made Cui make a big bet was the national seal in Wang Ji's hand, the warrior Qi Cang who was loyal to Wang Ji for some reason, and Wang Ji's promise. Cui will make a profit from this, so there is no reason not to follow. How much weight can the icing on the cake have if you can provide help in times of need and not follow up now, but you can follow up later? The Cui family has always had the upper hand in cooperation, but as the Qi State expanded its territory, it successively annexed several neighboring countries, absorbing local forces and diluting the Cui family's voice.
In layman's terms, the leader of the country has the confidence to challenge. Of course, the two sides will not really break up, it will only hurt both sides, and finally gain the advantage of the long-coveted jackal, tiger and leopard.
Cui Hui understands the truth. She grew up under the care of uncles and aunts in the bandit village, and the things she saw were not clean. As the leader of the clan, Cui Zhi's duty is to continue the family. Live decently in troubled times. However, she is not here to reason today: "Where has Cui's stubbornness as the head of the aristocratic family gone? The family is big and the business is big, why can't you let go of these things?"
Every word is full of yin and yang, venting grievances.
Cui was able to compromise and agree to marry You, but he was harsh on her in every possible way. The grievances of those years are her moral capital to attack the other party now, and she is not merciless in using them.
Others may not like this, but Cui Zhi will definitely.
Seeing that her tone softened, Cui Zhi handed her a handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears: "How can things be so simple? The head of a noble family is just a false name. He needs to cooperate more with other families. If the Cui family is really in a desperate situation, there is no chance of death. , each family will just stay away from the Cui family. How can there be any permanent allies in this world? The Cui family has a great cause and cannot afford to fight against the troops of a country."
In the past, the royal family was controlled by the Cui family.
Now that the ruler of the country is gradually gathering military power and wooing the military generals, it is not difficult to massacre the Cui family from top to bottom. He had never done this, so naturally Cui was also exploiting the weak points of the general group. Marching and fighting requires not only men, but also food, grass and baggage.
The king has soldiers and horses.
The Cui family has grain and grass resources.
Neither side is confident enough to stabilize the situation after falling out, so they can only keep trying to find a balance. It is better to continue to cooperate and win together than to risk and die together.
This marriage is a sign of Cui's resignation.
The royal family gave Cui leeway because the wedding date was not set immediately.
Cui Hui sniffed, calmed down, and began to sympathize with Lady You: "So, isn't Lady You pitiful?"
Cui Zhi: "..."< br>
He said indifferently: "It's just normal for aristocratic families."
"It also depends on fate." Cui Xiong, who had been silent, said, "If there is really no fate, my son will try his best to keep her safe."
< br>It's not that Cui Xiong has any fondness for the You family queen, it's just to appease his mother, and he doesn't want to leave a negative impression of being mean and unfeeling in front of her. In fact, Cui Xiong is the qualified heir.
Cui Hui exhaled a breath of turbidity.
Waving helplessly: "Don't tell me these things."
Cui Xiong said: "Mother has a kind heart."
Of the three father and son, only Cui Mi remained silent.
Not only did he see his own future scene switching, he also saw his brother's future jumping between life and death. Too many experiences and lessons from the past told him that if you interfere with the other party's cause and effect, you will have to bear the other party's fate, which is serious. There is even a higher price to pay.
For example, he originally intended to help someone avoid the pain of a broken leg, but ended up causing the other person to suffer the pain of beheading. Typical "I won't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." The human heart must not be greedy. It would be better to just let nature take its course, just like the alternation of the four seasons and the iteration of mountains and rivers.
The real You family queen is an ordinary girl from aristocratic family, but now this You family queen plays tricks on her brother, playing with people like playing with dogs.
He knows everything, but can't say anything.
Anyway, this life is not long. It is better to fight more excitingly in the limited time than to be mediocre and boring for half of your life.
During this commotion, Cui Huineng approached the You family queen openly.
Miao Na took what Cui Hui handed over: "What?"
Cui Hui said: "It's related to the Cui family."
It can allow Miao Ne to quickly rise to the top and win the trust of the king.
Miao Ne wants to be the most trusted confidant of the king, and if she crosses Mei Meng, she will make meritorious deeds. Liao Jia hasn't arrived yet, and the two of them have no foundation in Qi State. If they want to make a quick contribution, they can't go through normal channels. Mrs. Cui is covered in fat, and even a few pieces of it won't kill her.
When Lio Jia comes over, everyone will definitely be turned upside down!
Cui Hui has already decided which company to start with.
Being the mistress of an aristocratic family for so many years is not in vain, nor is the genealogy of each family and the relationship between the members of the family recorded in vain, Ba Shi is very happy!
Miao Na frowned: "Is it safe for you to come to see me?"
She also came from a noble family. Although Miao was only a small border clan before being taken care of by Shen Jun, the problems of the family, Miao No one is left behind, and he knows what the family looks like. Cui Zhineng is an exception? Miao Nadu suspected that the other party wanted to kill him.
Well, if she were the leader of the Cui clan, she would do the same thing.
Cui Huidao: "There was a big fuss, now it's safe."
Who makes her a soft-hearted and empathetic "mother-in-law".
There is only one thing -
"Can you spare the life of this kid, Da Xiong? The rest is just a lesson before giving him a crowning ceremony." Cui Hui still felt sorry for the child, "Teach him what is People's hearts are sinister."
Miao Ne said: "Cui Nujun has great confidence in the grass people."
Cui Hui: "..."
Can I not have confidence?
Dare to go to Gaoguo alone to show off plum blossoms and shock the cranes.
Now that she is in the dark and the big bear is in the light, why not be played to death?
At this time——
Liao Jia was on the way rushing here.
At this time——
Gong Xiqiu was squatting on the ground looking at something.
A little piece of meat-like thing is in a little bit of a chrysalis.
Shen Tang finished his sleep and regained some energy. When he woke up, he still didn't see Wuhui looking at him. If the mountain is not hers, she will be the mountain. Like a ghost, his footsteps floated out of the tent.
As a result, I got lost.
It’s not her fault, the new camp layout is completely unfamiliar.
I wanted to find the temporary canteen but ended up in the wounded barracks.
It is said to be a wounded barracks, but in fact, it houses refugees who were rescued from the fire in the capital of Gao. Six days had passed since the fire was extinguished, and the wounded barracks had gone from being overloaded to being in order. Those with minor injuries have been sent out, and most of those with serious injuries have recovered from danger. Shen Tang's expression was very harmonious.
I glanced out of the corner of my eye and spotted an acquaintance.
"Gong Xiqiu!"
She tapped the opponent on the shoulder from behind.
Gong Xiqiu had long noticed Shen Tang's aura: "You're back?"
"Who am I? Can I come back?" Shen Tang stretched his neck to get a closer look, but at one glance he shrank back in disgust. He backed away and said, "Tsk, tsk, how old are you, and you still play with bugs?"
Gong Xiqiu sneered.
"My brother asked me to play..."
"High Priest?"
Gong Xiqiu threw away the stick and said depressedly: "He asked me... asked me to collect these bugs at night."
"Then?"
As for the resentment so much?
Gong Xiqiu: "These bugs come out of the butthole..."
Shen Tang: "...whose butthole?"
