What's even more rare is that although he was probably unaware of the great changes in the Chen family in Qiangmo when the Chen family's accident happened, after returning to Beijing, he calmed down his momentum.
Such a person is really excellent.
Even Cui Zian had to admit that after learning about King Jin's deeds and his current interaction with him.
Compared to His Royal Highness Prince Liang, he agreed more with Prince Jin.
Cui Zian is not a staunch member of the poor family. His many years of experience in serving in the local government have made him more aware of ability than factionalism.
Therefore, these people were quite enjoying the wine and chatting at the banquet.
The female relatives on the other side naturally formed their own group. Although the Cui family lady was also pretty and gentle, she only knew what a fairy concubine was when she saw Jiang Nianjiao today.
Therefore, when she was at the table, she couldn't help but peek at Jiang Nianjiao frequently. However, due to her identity, she couldn't rashly take the initiative to talk to Jiang Nianjiao.
Fortunately, Aunt Du introduced her and Jiang Nianjiao took the initiative to talk to her, so the female relatives at the table were very harmonious. .
Among these harmonious places, the most unharmonious thing was probably Du Zechi.
Although his mother and uncle repeatedly told him to treat Cui Zian as politely as possible.
But Du Zechi was not happy at all.
What kind of matchmaker had his uncle secured for him? All he had to think of was that the girl named Cui Lingwei, despite her clever name, was actually just a dark and thin country girl. And since his appearance was considered average, he was even more unhappy.
When he was in Huaitai Mountain City, his family doted on him very much, so his spirit was not as high as usual at that time.
Now at my uncle's house, he is still a high official in the court.
Although his uncle did not arrange any errands for him as he wished, after studying in the Imperial College, he got to know many young people from the capital, and even saw the beautiful faces of those beautiful women in the capital among the flowers and willows.
Therefore, he despised the country girl even more.
He was a little dissatisfied because his uncle didn't arrange errands for him, but now even for his own marriage, his uncle only arranged for a country girl for him.
And his mother was actually very satisfied, saying how smart and capable the girl was. No matter how smart and capable she is, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't like that woman.
Moreover, this Cui Zian is just an eighth-rank official in the capital, and he cannot even see the emperor.
He really didn't understand how such a small official could help him.
Thinking of this, Du Zechi became even more depressed.
He can now see that although his uncle is not short of food and clothing for the two of them, he does not really want to help him at all.
It's just nonsense to think about getting a good education, getting a merit degree and then arranging a position for him.
However, even though he thought so in his heart, he also knew that he could not be rude in front of others.
He just had to endure it, but at this moment when he was pushing the cup and asking for a cup, Cui Zian pushed it in front of Du Zechi.
Du Zechi didn't notice it for a while, until Aunt Du pushed him, and he reluctantly toasted Cui Zian.
After the banquet, the Cui family couple did not stay much. They only sat at the back of the banquet for a short time, and then left.
But after the two got on the carriage, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but talk about the marriage to her husband, "Cui Lang, I think Wei Niang's marriage is quite good. Wei Niang is a lucky one. That Mr. Du gave birth to She is also a talented person, and the most rare thing is that her mother and her uncle's family also think highly of her. Wei Niang will not be too aggrieved if she lives in the back house in the future."
When Cui Zian heard this, he just frowned slightly, "It turned out that we had high hopes for this marriage. You don't know how unpleasant it is for colleagues to talk about each other with guns and sticks."
"So what if you have a high position? Cui Lang, you are the kind of person who cares about other people's words. What's more, I saw that Wei Niang was very fond of Mr. Du when she met her. The girl who used to be crazy and wild is also a lady these days. A lot." Mrs. Cui couldn't help but said.
After hearing Lady Cui's words, Cui Zian couldn't help but hold his wife's hand and said, "Sure enough, the one who understands me is my wife."
"But what I'm really worried about is this. Although Wei Niang likes Mr. Du, I see that Mr. Du doesn't like Wei Niang at all.
How to like. After all, it is important for this woman to marry in harmony with her husband. I am really afraid that Wei Niang will be wronged. "Cui Zian then only expressed his real worries.
Hearing this, Mrs. Cui only smiled and said, "It's hard for Cui Lang to think about Wei Niang so much, but we Wei Niang are also independent-minded, and young people have the most unstable temperaments. I think she If you like her, then let Wei Niang have more contact with Cui Lang according to the rules in our mountain city? It’s not certain that Mr. Du will fall in love with Wei Niang once he understands Wei Niang.”
"If she doesn't like it, Wei Niang isn't the type to stalk her. After all, she can change her mind." Mrs. Cui only continued to talk to her husband.
Cui Zian's eyes lit up when he heard Madam Cui's words, but then he only worried, "Isn't this against the rules?"
Lady Cui said, "Why is it against the rules? You and I were the same way back then. When I first saw you, I didn't make eye contact with you. If we didn't get to know each other later, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Cui Zian finally nodded after hearing this, "Then I'll meet again some other time..."
Lady Cui, however, covered her mouth and chuckled. She interrupted Cui Zian's words, "Don't bother me, Sir. In fact, after the dinner just now, Mrs. Du and I also expressed my concerns. I didn't want Princess Jin to just Mentioning the marriage customs in Huaita Mountain City to me, I just remembered this. Aunt Du then took the initiative to ask me, if Lingwei and Mr. Du could get to know each other better, it would be natural if they could like each other. It’s the best.”
"I thought about it at the time, and I just thought it would be good if we followed the rules of the mountain city."
Unexpectedly, it was Princess Jin who brought up this matter first, so Cui Zian could only nod his head and said, "Just do as they say. However, Princess Jin seems to have been staying in the capital. How did you know this?" What’s the custom in our mountain city?”
After Lady Cui heard this, she just chuckled, "I heard from Princess Jin that she seems to have a younger sister who is from Huaitai Mountain City."
After hearing this, Cui Zian just responded, "This Princess Jin is well-informed, unlike ordinary women."
Mrs. Cui only smiled and said, "She is as unexpected as Prince Jin."
After hearing this, Cui Zian nodded in agreement.
After days of snow, the sky was rarely clear.
And since the last time the Cui family had a drink and chat at the Jiang Mansion, Du Zechi and Cui Lingwei had also been in contact according to the rules of the mountain city.
Today is a rare good weather. After the Du family sent out invitations to meet, Cui Lingwei dressed up excitedly.
It's a pity that she is obviously not a girl raised in a boudoir. In addition, the sun in Huaitai Mountain City is harsh, so even though she arrived in the capital, she has been very careful to imitate the girls in the capital in taking care of herself.
However, although the sunburned skin was almost repaired, the dark skin obviously could not be changed.
Women in the capital still regard whiteness as their beauty, and those hairstyles are naturally designed to set off a woman's fair skin.
Cui Lingwei didn't know this because she had just entered the capital. She just saw other women wearing beautiful clothes, so she followed suit.
In this way, it only made her look darker and earthier.
But she herself doesn't have much sense of aesthetics. Who doesn't have a girlish heart nowadays? She just wears whatever is pink and pink.
Du Zechi's post was from Four Seasons Garden.
She was afraid of missing Du Zechi's invitation, so she arrived at the garden earlier than Du Zechi.
The Four Seasons Garden was huge, and she looked at it as she walked, secretly marveling at it from time to time. If it hadn't been for this local maid to lead her, she might not have been able to tell the difference between east, west, and north.
However, when the two arrived at the Jidong River, she was still reluctant to look around, but at that moment she only remembered that she was here to go on a date with Du Zechi, so she just sat there and quietly waited for Du Zechi. arrival.
I just didn't want her to wait until the appointed time was over, but still didn't see Du Ze coming late. For a while, even the maid couldn't help complaining and said, "Why hasn't Master Du come here yet?"
Cui Lingwei, however, didn't care much and said, "Maybe something happened to hold him back."
It was clear that Du Zechi was not held back by anything. After inviting Cui Lingwei out,
, he felt a hundred thousand reluctances in his heart. If it weren't for the pressure from his mother and uncle, he really wouldn't want to come over at all.
Therefore, he only deliberately procrastinated along the way, thinking that if he came ten minutes late, Cui Lingwei would get angry and leave.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Four Seasons Garden, Cui Lingwei was still waiting for me, and while waiting for him, Cui Lingwei only looked around from time to time.
He looked painfully at Cui Lingwei, who was wearing pink clothes and looked like a dry tree trunk wrapped in silk, and felt even more headache.
This was really ugly. The clothes that were clearly fresh and fresh seemed to be imitated on her body. I couldn't bear to see it.
When he thought about being with such an ugly person, Du Zechi felt like he wanted to die.
And just when he was torn between whether to sneak away against the wishes of his uncle and mother, or to bite the bullet and swim in the lake with Cui Lingwei.
Unexpectedly, Cui Lingwei's maid was sharp-eyed, so she suddenly called out, "Miss, that person on the path over there seems to be Mr. Du."
Hearing this, Cui Lingwei turned around and looked over. After seeing Du Zechi's face clearly, Cui Lingwei immediately said happily, "Master Du."
Then she immediately ran towards Du Zechi without any restraint.
Du Zechi couldn't make a choice at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and come to Cui Lingwei.
Fortunately, there were no people around the lake at this time, but he still looked around.
He didn't want to take Cui Lingwei around, after all, he always felt that he would lose his status by being with Cui Lingwei.
