Chapter 42 Family Love
After arriving at Cui's house, Cui Xiu got off the carriage and saw her father, mother, brother and sister standing outside the door waiting for her.
General Cui and Mrs. Cui have four children, two sons and two daughters, the eldest son Cui Yu, the second son Cui Chu, the third daughter Cui Jin, and the youngest daughter Cui Xiu.
The eldest brother Cui Chu has been in poor health since he was a child. Later, he became very weak due to poisoning. The doctor said he would not live long.
Although he is not in good health, his hearing and memory are amazingly strong. Now he is a civil servant in Shanglin Academy. Although he is a minor official, he can be free from work.
The second brother, Cui Chu, practiced martial arts since he was a child. He worked among the people for two years and made many friends in the world. The general.
The third sister Cui Jin is as tender as water. She is a few years older than Cui Xiu, but much more mature than Cui Xiu. A few years ago, she married Wang Yu, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination and is now a doctor of Taixue. The couple People have very good feelings.
"I am here to see Concubine Jia."
"I am here to see Concubine Jia." Several people standing at the door saluted Cui Xiu, and Cui Xiu did not delay at all. Get everyone up.
These are her family members. Although the etiquette is insurmountable and she needs to show off when someone is watching, she still doesn't like her family members saluting her like this.
After a group of them entered the house, Cui Xiu subconsciously put down his burden, hugged his mother and Cui Jin, and said, "Mother, third sister."
When Mrs. Cui and Cui Jin saw Cui Xiu like this, The two looked at each other, smiled at each other, and hugged Cui Xiu. They knew that it was not easy for Cui Xiu in the palace these years. This palace was different from ordinary people, and it was difficult to get out after entering.
If Cui Zhenghai and Cui Chu had not made great achievements this time, they might not know when they would see Cui Xiu.
The moment Cui Xiu saw her family, she felt extremely unreal. Everything now seemed like an illusory dream, but when she hugged her mother and third sister, she felt very real and down-to-earth. .
Things from the previous life always appear in Cui Xiu's mind. It has been a long, long time since she has had a family that hugged her.
It had been a long time since she had been so carefree, letting down her guard and being the Cui Xiu she once was.
Once upon a time, with the departure of her family, the decline of General Cui's mansion, and the deaths of her people one by one, she was forced to become an upright adult and someone who could be relied upon by others.
But when she self-righteously believed that she was the support of others, those people who had always relied on her never thought well of her.
They just want to crawl on her body and suck all her blood bit by bit. Even if they don't stop after sucking it dry, they still want to remove her flesh and bones, bit by bit. Eat away until it becomes a misty cloud.
Before meeting her family, she was full of resentment and complaints about the world.
But the moment she saw her family, the inner demons in her heart seemed to be buried little by little, and she suddenly felt that the world did not seem so unbearable.
At least the people she loves in this world still love her.
Cui Zhenghai, Cui Yu and Cui Chu looked at the three "big Buddhas" hugging each other at home, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces. Cui Zhenghai's eyes showed glistening tears from time to time.
When Chunfeng and Qiufeng standing aside saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts, because they knew how difficult it was for their empress to be in the palace.
It is not easy to get out of the palace, which can be regarded as a good opportunity for cultivation.
"Okay, He'er, let's go in, sit down, and chat slowly." Mrs. Cui patted Cui Xiu's back and motioned to Cui Xiu.
After Cui Xiu heard what Mrs. Cui said, she slowly relaxed her arms. Mrs. Cui and Cui Jin walked on both sides of Cui Xiu, holding Cui Xiu. Cui Jin said from time to time: "Little Sister, I see you have lost weight. ""You should eat more when you come back this time and grow back what you have lost."
Cui Xiu listened to Cui Jin's words. She smiled and nodded, and said: "Third sister, I see that you are more mellow than before."
"Brother-in-law is really considerate of Third Sister."
Although the two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, Cui Xiu didn't feel any strangeness when he saw Cui Jin again. The teasing words came right out of his mouth. When Cui Jin heard Cui Xiu's words, a faint smile appeared on his face. .
“Although your brother-in-law works in Imperial College, it is not an important position after all.”
“We and I have some free time and are busy at home.”
< br>"Your brother-in-law is good at cooking. If you are free someday, come to my house and I will ask him to cook it for you to try."
Cui Jin saw that Cui Xiu was not unfamiliar with her. , she is no longer like before. They are sisters with the same father and mother. They grew up together since childhood. Her father only loves her mother and has never taken another concubine, so the family is harmonious.
"Okay, if I have a chance, I will definitely go to my sister and brother-in-law's house to try it." Cui Xiu responded to Cui Jin.
Cui Jin saw Cui Xiu agreeing without thinking, and she replied: "Your brother-in-law will be happy if he knows."
"He has wanted to meet you for a long time. ”
Cui Xiu knew that the third sister’s vision had always been good, but she didn’t expect that the third sister’s vision was so good, because in less than ten years, Wang Yu would be able to join the cabinet and become the prime minister and become a civil servant. head.
Cui Xiu vaguely remembered that in her last life, her relationship with her family had faded, and she did not have much contact with her third sister. She originally wanted to win over Wang Yu to join their camp and help the fifth prince win the heir apparent.
But Wang Yu's words made her give up this idea. That sentence was "Whoever takes over the East Palace has God's will, not people can control it."
Wang Yu did not stand for any prince. In the camp, he was loyal to the emperor and the people from beginning to end.
Later, when Li Ruoyan ascended the throne, he did not dare to embarrass the literary prime minister and only regarded him as a giant Buddha to support him.
Cui Xiu is very curious, if there is one more person competing for the throne in this life, whether her Heng'er will be Wang Yu's choice. If Wang Yu assists, she can rest assured even if she dies.
Mrs. Cui on the side said: "He'er, why didn't you bring the child with you?"
"Is His Majesty not allowing it?" Mrs. Cui observed and found that Cui Xiu did not take the child with her, and she had doubts in her heart.
This child was born to Cui Xiu, and Cui Xiu was promoted to a noble concubine because of this child. Since the emperor allowed her to leave the palace and live at home temporarily, why not let her take the child with her.
This child is only a few months old, where can he leave his mother?
When Cui Xiu saw her mother mention this, she smiled and shook her head gently, and then said: "Of course not."
"It's just that the imperial doctor said that the child is still young and it is not appropriate to take him back and forth. It’s easy to catch a cold while running.”
Cui Xiu thought to herself that she had something important to do when she came back this time. It was always inconvenient to take care of the child, so leaving it to Ning Bin to take care of her would actually save her a lot of trouble.
