Miantang used to think that her husband was a banished Immortal from heaven, and doesn’t know the spark of the common world.
Now the Heavenly Immortal finally fell on his face, broke open, and showed all his flaws.
Today, she found another flaw. His words are really asking for a beating!
Not to mention whether it was smelly or fragrant. Just because her Grandfather kicked him, if Cui Xingzhou were to penalize him, her Grandfather will be guilty. But he was too much! Will it not bleed if he openly gives his wounded leg to her Grandfather for kicking?
Cui Xingzhou’s leg was injured. He said that he could not go back to the camp outside the city. He had to rest in Miantang’s yard to get well.
There was no way out. The Lu family doesn’t take advantage of this matter. Miantang couldn’t get rid of him, so she had to let him live in the small yard again.
Cui Xingzhou feels comfortable.
After suffering alone in the northwest for so long, he can now stay in the small yard with Miantang. It seems like he has returned to the North Street of Lingquan in the south of the Yangtze River, watching the cat flutter butterflies around the flowers. He will have fragrant tea made for him by Miantang, which is all nice and peaceful.
And the woman was in a wide robe, with her thick and beautiful hair covering her cheeks, while lowering her head and beating the abacus. The crackling philistine voice, in this courtyard, seems like the sound of nature, which is very addictive.
Cui Xingzhou felt that he could live here for more than half his life if it was not for the urge of The Emperor. Thinking about this, he sat down next to Miantang and conveniently took a comb to comb her messy hair.
Knowing that she was still angry with him, she did not want to sleep in the same room with him.
Cui Xingzhou is not an eager person. Although he always wants to cook porridge with her, now she is still in the middle of cooking, so he can only control on his own and not annoy her.
But early in the morning, he still couldn’t help going to her room to buzz her. It resulted that she didn’t comb her hair and hurriedly took her clothes out of bed and sat at the table angrily.
How can she not comb your hair? Cui Xingzhou combed it for her. Fortunately, she seemed to calm down when she got up and allowed him to comb her hair skillfully.
Miantang knew that this man who came from heaven was full of the style of rascals. She could not get rid of him, so she let him comb her hair and continued to manage her accounts.
Cui Xingzhou combed her long black hair, and earnestly preached, “You can be angry with me all you want, but you still need to manage your business. You left the town at the beginning and did not care about the business in Lingquan Town. Fortunately, the shopkeeper was diligent, and there was no big trouble. You should take good care of it when you return to the State of Zhen. These are your dowry, which can be saved as much as you can. It can be passed on to our daughter in the future!”
Miantang looked up and waved his long finger away at her cheek. She lowered her eyes and asked, “Who wants to have your daughter?”
Cui Xingzhou lowered his eyes and hugged her tightly, and said, “When you left, the Northwest Army was setting out. I originally thought that if I am getting farther and farther away from you, I didn’t need to think about you. But you came to the Northwest for sheep business but refused to see me. When I heard that, I was really sad, and I’m unwilling to think about how you would marry and have children with another later. So I send people to watch you closely and not to let you marry… I am so sad, and you actually still have me in your heart. Now you are so determined not to marry, can you bear watching me marry another? ”
Miantang pursed her mouth and did not speak, but she knew that she was not completely indifferent in her heart, especially when he said that he felt uncomfortable. Because she knew what it was like…
Cui Xingzhou saw that Miantang didn’t speak, and he knew that she had listened. He then said, “Prince Huaiyang’s Residence is not a den of tigers and dragons. I don’t have any maid in name, a concubine in reality before marriage to fight for your favor. You just need to worship my mother. Besides, the Prince’s Residence is not a landlord’s residence. It’s not a trend for an evil mother-in-law to compete with her daughter-in-law. My mother is very busy at the tea party and drama club every day. It’s good for you to see her in the morning and evening. What else are you worried about?”
Miantang looked at him with a slanted face and said, “My mother thought it was simple too, but when my father hated her, the old servants at home could talk back to her. Your Royal Residence has a lot of rules and etiquette, and I have no foundation. If you cheat me into marriage and do not like me anymore. Even a guard dog can bark at me…”
Cui Xingzhou couldn’t help laughing, “If your concern is some other thing, I will believe you. How can your temperament be bullied by servants? If a dog barks at you, I’m afraid you will break the leg of the dog and feed the wolf… Isn’t Servant Li, the big nanny in my Residence, also manipulated by you?”
Miantang was a little speechless with his replies, but what he said was reasonable too. If someone bullies her for no reason, she can’t bear it.
However, the sophistication that she has to deal with in The Prince Residence is definitely not as light and simple as Cui Xingzhou said. She was bold in her life and never felt timid to face anything. But this time, she was really scared. She was cheated on by Cui Xingzhou too many times…
“Your feelings and mine are nothing but a tower in the air, a fraud. Let alone your sincerity… I used to worship you and get along well with you, but I’m afraid I won’t be so happy when I entered the Residence… If you really love me, let’s forget everything… I don’t want to regret thinking about you in the future…”
She thinks more than a girl of nineteen. How can she live like in North Street before? It’s just child’s play.
He was confused for a moment and was impulsive to marry her. If she also agreed in a daze, there would be endless troubles after marriage. He was born to do great things, and what he needed was a Lady who was compatible with him and could deal with the communication of Princes and Nobles calmly, rather than the Jianghu people whom the Old Princess Consort could not agree.
Her mother also loved her father very much at the beginning, otherwise, she would not have fought to marry and become a stepmother. But then what happened? The deep love, in the daily matters of their marriage, has dissipated to nothing left.
Thinking about her mother’s sorrow and eyes when she was dying, but never mentioning her father, Miantang secretly swore that her married husband must sincerely respect and treat her.
Her mother was always stabbed in the back when she was alive, mocking her for seeking connections in high places to the official family. She never wanted to live a day like this!
Now Cui Xingzhou is pressing her hard, and she has also told him all her concerns. She just hopes that he can understand her ideas. After a good gathering, they can part peacefully. When they don’t see each other for a long time, she believes that no matter if it was he or she, they will definitely feel uncomfortable at the beginning. But there will always be a day when their love will fade without a trace.
Cui Xingzhou listened to her patiently and said with his eyebrow frowning, “I’m not your father, and I know what your temperament is like. How would I dislike you in the future? As long as you are full of me, those things you worried about are nothing. I’ve never heard that people will stop eating because they choke. As for the matter that I lied to you, I admit that I’m in the wrong. But you’ve also been cruel enough to leave me for so long. If you refuse me because of this, I won’t agree!”
He simply twisted her face and kissed her eagerly according to the fragrant lips.
Liu Miantang was confused and upset by him. After a kiss, she didn’t like to talk to him.
Cui Xingzhou lean to her ear and whispered, “I’ve never seen you thinking so detailed like this before. I cheated on you, and you are letting me off so easily? Are you going to let me go just because I cheated on you once? Since I cheated on you for your appearance, how about you cheat on my money? I’ll give you the bride price when the time comes. If you think the amount is wrong, you can leave with the bride price…”
Miantang was amused by his saying, “I’m not a bandit. How can I take your bride price and leave?”
Cui Xingzhou saw her relaxed attitude and said lowly, “How about staying with me tonight? I missed you last night and couldn’t sleep all night…”
She always refused, so he was hungry and could not eat. Ask a man who can endure for so long. Whether Miantang agrees or not, he will stay at her house tonight.
A woman with a heart of stone, does she always dream back in the middle of the night and can’t remember their lingering affection?
Miantang gave him a sharp glare this time and got up to go out. He said lazily behind her, “After lunch, I have to go to the Lu Mansion to play chess with the Old Master. If I come back late, I will have dinner there…”
Liu Miantang didn’t expect Cui Xingzhou to not treat himself as an outsider. She didn’t have time to scold him, and hurry asked in a tight voice, “Why will you go to my Grandfather’s Mansion again? Who invited you as a guest?”
Cui Xingzhou stared at her lips, which were red with kisses. He said carelessly, “This morning, I asked Mo Ru to send a visit letter. Your Grandfather permitted me and told me to stay for dinner… It’s fine. If you are busy, I can go by myself.”
How can Miantang be at ease with him going alone? Who knows what kind of scheme The Prince, who is full of devious ideas, is going to set up to trick people when he goes to her Grandfather’s Mansion?
So in the end, Miantang followed Prince Huaiyang to the Lu Mansion.
In the past, Miantang always thought that her husband treated people a little unfamiliar and ignorant. However, several events have proved that Cui Xingzhou’s attitude can be controlled freely.
During these two visits to the Lu Family, Cui Xingzhou seems to be determined to carry out his friendly and easy-going style to the end. He is also friendly with the several younger generations of the Lu Family. He followed them in the yard and talked and laughed for a while, and also demonstrated the technique of a set of martial art skills.
The Lu family all worship martial arts. For the younger generation, the golden topaz walnut is not as good as a set of fierce fist techniques.
For a moment, the title of “Mr. Cui” has automatically changed to “Brother Cui”.
For some reason, her Grandfather didn’t talk to the others about the identity of Prince Huaiyang. It resulted that the younger generation having no scruples and being very friendly with Cui.
Her cousins are playing boxing in the courtyard, while the female members are sitting in the hall listening to Quan of the Second Family’s words about yesterday’s engagement.
Miantang also knew today that the list of Su’s family’s gifts was very thin, it was a little bit off the rules.
According to Quan’s father, the Su family is pure and clean and does not practice extravagance and be wasteful. Their children also follow the trend of simplifying their marriage.
Although Quan always tries to be close to the status of high official family members, her daughter’s marriage is very philistine. The bride price is so small that it can reach the sky with a gust of wind. Where does her face go?
However, Lu Mu thinks Quan has a shallow vision. Their Lu family is just an escort. If they want to get into the range of the official family like the Young Master Su, and still ask for more betrothal gifts like the poor people in the small village, they will be looked down upon.
So instead of asking more from them, the Lu family should prepare their own dowry.
When her cousin of the Elder Family found a chance, she told Miantang secretly that her Second Uncle asked his father for the dowry of his daughter, but was scolded badly by his father. He told him that the rats had emptied the house, how will he have the money? If he insists on wanting, just take away his copper nightjar, which has been used for more than 20 years!
Miantang lowered her head and said nothing because she knew that her Grandfather had given her the share that should have been given to her cousin. But if she returned it to her cousin, she would have let her Grandfather down. What’s more, Miantang always thinks that the Su family is not a good thing. It’s not good for her cousin to marry over with a large dowry.
Her Second Uncle has been pinched for favoritism recently, so he was scolded by his father and didn’t dare to make a statement. Thus, he gloomily returned and prepared the dowry himself.
After this encounter, other people also found out how rich the Second family was. Lu Qingying should be able to be proud when she married the Su family.
However, Lu Qingying, like her mother, felt a little uncomfortable. It was mainly because of the old acquaintance of her Big Uncle and the gentle Young Master Su was not so outstanding anymore.
What’s more, all the dowry gifts of the Su family are not worth as much as a pair of jade walnuts. Lu Qingying recalled the happy expression the Su family looks at her dowry list, her heart feels a little uncomfortable. She even grumbles about why the Young Master Cui didn’t come to the Lu Mansion earlier, otherwise, she might be the one who made an engagement with him.
Today, when she got a break, the Second Master asked this Young Master Cui if he had ever been married.
Cui Xingzhou glances up at Miantang, who is peeling melon seeds for her little nephew, and said with great intention, “I haven’t made an engagement yet. I want to find a suitable girl in the State of Xi, and I will just take her home to marry…”
His glance was so obvious that several older women in the hall understood it. They took a surprising look at Miantang and said to themselves, What kind of lucky fate does this girl have? Her recent peach blossoms are really blossoming one after another!
Even Lu Mu is embarrassed. It’s a pity that this Young Master Cui didn’t know that Miantang was not only accepted by Prince Sui but also cheated by a man in the Northwest… He’s afraid that any good man can’t tolerate her past!
So he thought about how to change ways to remind Mr. Cui that Liu, the girl in his family, has been favored by Prince Sui. If he rashly marries her, wouldn’t he annoy Prince Sui? Unfortunately, there are no other girls in the Lu family…
However, he didn’t have a chance to talk with Mr. Cui in detail. After explaining the fist techniques to the younger generation, Cui Xingzhou went to the study to play chess with the Old Master.
As soon as “Mr. Cui” left, the women in the hall became lively. Several married cousins teased, “Miantang, I see that Mr. Cui has been looking at you. Would you like your two Uncles to come forward and make a negotiation?”
Hearing this, Lu Xian felt another burst of internal fire and kept drinking tea to extinguish the fire.
Yesterday, his father called him to tell him about the proposal of Prince Huaiyang, and his kidney almost fall out of his mouth after listening.
Fortunately, his father said that Miantang seemed to disagree. Lu Xian was a little relieved.
What Miantang did on the Mountain of Yang was rotten in his stomach, and he could not say it. Otherwise, Miantang’s life would be completely over.
Now the Imperial Court has hired a cadre of people from the Mountain of Yang, but who can guarantee that there will be no reckoning? Miantang lost her memory and broke apart with the Mountain of Yang. She has nothing to do with them.
However, if Prince Huaiyang had known about it and were to marry his enemy, he would have saved the time to chase her for arrest.
Miantang didn’t answer, just thinking about when will Cui Xingzhou get up and leave. If he stayed longer, she was afraid that the Lu family would take the initiative to propose marriage.
On the other hand, the Old Master and Cui Xingzhou got along well today. They also tacitly refused to talk about marriage, just playing chess and chatting.
If Cui Xingzhou had not cheated on his Granddaughter, Lu Wu would have treated him with respect.
Cui Xingzhou, with his own strength, calmed down the Northwest and drove away the Barbarians. He is the first meritorious official of the Great Yan Dynasty and should be respected by people all over the world. How can such a person who comes to their Lu Mansion not be treated sincerely?
While playing chess with Cui Xingzhou, the Old Master realized again that the boy in front of him was really not an ordinary person! The chess path is full of maneuvers, and the ability to swallow chess pieces is also first-rate.
After losing three sets in a row, Lu Wu changed his face slightly, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Does Prince Huaiyang can’t find an opponent normally, and come here to show off your prestige?”
Cui Xingzhou said sincerely while picking up the chess pieces, “I wanted to tame my edge and please you. But the family style of the Lu family has always worshiped people with strong abilities. If I give in and be humble, I might not be able to win your favor. Besides, If someone were to marry my daughter in the future, I will definitely choose someone who has the ability. Although those live-in sons-in-law are good, how can they be worthy of Miantang?”
Hearing this, Lu Wu was relieved and smiled, “My Granddaughter indeed has some skills, which are not worthy of ordinary men… But she doesn’t want to marry someone who has the ability, and no one can force her.”
Cui Xingzhou said sincerely, “For her, I will definitely marry. After all, she has been with me for two years. But now she feels uncomfortable and it’s not good forcing her. I just want to sign the marriage certificate first, and then marry her when she thinks it through.”
Lu Wu waved his hand, “I won’t help you persuade her. If her mother had thought so carefully at that time, she wouldn’t have died so early. If Your Highness wants to sign the marriage certificate, you will need her consent… It’s getting late, and I won’t make you stay for dinner. Please return, Your Highness.”
Father Lu Wu’s attitude today is still not very positive, but it’s much better than drawing his sword and chopping people. Cui Xingzhou did not expect this tough Old Master would yield to his fame and power and marry his Granddaughter in a hurry.
If the Old Master was like that, he’s afraid that Miantang would have long become the concubine of Prince Sui.
But he did not object to his idea of marrying Miantang, which was excellent. Miantang values her Grandfather very much. As long as her family doesn’t object, he can always soften her.
Since the Lu family did not provide food, Cui Xingzhou had to go back to Liu Miantang’s small yard.
Miantang stayed with the Lu family and came back after dinner. As soon as she entered the wing room, she saw Cui Xingzhou lying on her temporary bed reading.
“It’s getting late. Why hasn’t Your Highness going to have a rest?”
Cui Xingzhou put down the book and walked over. He picked her up and said, “How can I sleep if you don’t accompany me?”
Miantang pushed him hard, “You are not a child. Why do you need someone to accompany you? If you can’t sleep, you should go to your mother!”
Cui Xingzhou held her in his arms and buried his face in her neck. “Don’t want,” he said dully, “I missed you very much…”
In fact, being held by him like this, she smelled the male musk scent peculiar to him, and Miantang blushed and became soft.
He looks good, and Miantang has no resistance. She thought that only men would be interested in sex. She didn’t know until she had the first time with Cui Jiu. If a woman is greedy for sex, she doesn’t know how to be satisfied.
It’s also very annoying to think of the days when she and he were uncontrollable…
With this short distracted effort, she was held on the bed by him. When he lowered his head and kissed her, Miantang couldn’t help but stretch out her hand to wrap around his neck…
When she tried to push him away, it was already a huge wave hitting the stone and the tide was rolling.
Although Miantang’s hands and feet have recovered some strength, how can it be Cui Jiu’s opponent? In this way, it was already midnight when the waves ended.
Miantang was so tired that she couldn’t lift her fingers, but she had to admit that if she could have a few more rounds once in a while after being separated from him for so long, it will really be comfortable.
No wonder the famous demon Queen of the previous dynasty raised so many young men after The Emperor died. Such an excellent man is worth the bird’s nest ginseng, which is very nourishing!
Cui Xingzhou did not know that Liu Miantang was thinking about some strange things about having a lot of young men. He has been enduring for so long. He can’t help but feel that if he can’t marry this woman home, he will have a hard time for the rest of his life.
He can’t remember when was the last time they hugged each other and slept after such a gentle night. This kind of silence, just listening to each other’s heartbeat, actually felt more nostalgic than the rounds.
Cui Xingzhou kissed her on the forehead and said, “Lord Li will send the marriage certificate tomorrow. It will be easier for you to set up a female household. After you sign, I will take you back to the State of Zhen.”
Miantang didn’t speak. She didn’t reject him thoroughly just now because she was lecherous. Now, if she said something more, she seemed to lack confidence.
Cui Xingzhou now knows that she cares, so he coaxes her into saying, “Would you like to sign first? It’s not like we are getting married right away. If you feel bad, you have a chance to repent!”
Miantang squinted at him lazily, “You are a veteran of quitting marriage, but you want to teach me?”
Cui Xingzhou also knew that his bad side had been grasped by Miantang, but she looked very charming with rosy cheeks and untidy sideburns. At that moment, he didn’t speak anymore, just attached to her body and warmed a pot of fragrant rice porridge again.
The next day, they got up very late.
Servant Li was not surprised that the two slept together again. After all, those two people had already been together before they separated. When they were deep in love, they were removed from each other. When the children were in love, could they not remember each other?
The Prince was unexpectedly attracted to a girl who was full of Jianghu habits, which was really beyond Servant Li’s expectations.
Although Liu Miantang was not a noble lady, her heart was full of the Prince. So when The Prince has troubles, she also worries about him. This is much better than Lady Lian.
It’s just that the two people are also making connections in private. It’s impossible to predict what will happen in Prince Huaiyang Residence if she enters.
Lord Li is an official. Before noon, he has already ridden a donkey personally to deliver the marriage certificate.
