228: It is better to hope for a husband than to hope for a son (2 more)
Dad and dad are different.
As soon as Cheng Zhiyuan died, after Cheng Qing and his family returned home, only sixty-three taels of silver were left in the family.
Mr. Cui is still alive and has earned 600,000 taels of silver for his children... There is a basement under the main room where Mr. Cui sleeps. He pried open the blue bricks. There is a pile of silver ingots and small gold bricks hidden in the basement. Mr. Cui sleeps on gold ingots every night. He has too much money and has no place to spend it. No wonder he has to take so many concubines.
Although Zhiyuan failed to earn a fortune for his children, he left behind a reputation, earned the imperial decree for the Liu family, and earned the empire for Cheng Qing.
Mr. Cui earned a fortune from a wealthy family, but almost made Cui Yan lose his life.
Cheng Qing still prefers his poor father.
Cui Yan was so tactful and was extremely satisfied with the people who came to witness the Cui family.
"Jun Cui regards money as dirt, how can he let Mrs. Cui and Miss Five suffer together? If the fifth lady wants to get married, she will naturally take away the dowry she has prepared."
It’s good to marry a juren from the third prince’s concubine, but the third prince can also run errands in the future.
The third prince's men were very willing to take Cui Yan away Cui Wuniang's dowry.
After the two sides established a letter of contract, Cui Wuniang was also released.
It also symbolically gave Cui Yan a small villa in the city. Juren Cui regarded money as dirt. Master Cui's family and Mrs. Cui always needed placement. Cui Yan didn't say he didn't want it, but Cui Yan would definitely not live there.
It was a little dawn, and Cheng Qing took the servants, carrying Mr. Cui who had suffered a stroke and Cui Yan with his broken legs, plus Mrs. Cui and the loyal servants of the Cui family, dozens of people took a boat back to Nanyi.
Cui Yan asked someone to put his recliner on the deck and look back at the dock with an obscure look.
"Why, can't bear to bear it?"
Cheng Qing sat next to him.
Cui Yan sighed: "It's good to save the lives of four family members. I've given all the wealth to Cui Peng. I think he can live a good life!"
"Cui Peng's life is definitely not easy. You count your family's wealth in front of the third prince. As soon as we left, the Cui family's money that can be used will be sent to the capital. Half of the Cui family's wealth was dedicated to the third prince, and the remaining half, Cui Peng should be wary of other concubines' younger brothers. You took Mr. Cui away. When the Cui family's foreign affairs officers get news, how many can convince Cui Peng? He wants to defend himself from the internal and external affairs, so he will naturally not be able to make trouble for you!"
Cheng Qing also thinks it's good.
Only with giving up can one gain.
Moreover, it is useless to steal the Cui family’s wealth. He first gave half of it to the third prince, and the rest was kept in his hands for the time being, but he was also kept for the third prince to harvest it in the future.
Cui Yan turned his head and smiled reluctantly: "I used to be the one who covered you, but now it's your turn to cover me."
Cheng Qing rolled his eyes.
Cui Yan burst into laughter.
In the cabin, Mrs. Cui had just wiped Mr. Cui's face with her own hands and hugged Cui Wuniang in her arms: "Listen, your brother is laughing, but it's obvious that things are not at the worst. Mom's goodness, have you been frightened by Cui Peng's beheading ghost these days?"
Of course Cui Wuniang was frightened.
Originally, she was going to be a new bride, but suddenly her biological brother Cui Yan broke her leg. She was locked up by Cui Peng and she hadn't seen her mother and brother come to save her for a long time. I don't know how her father, Mr. Cui was in a state of illness. In just a few days, Cui Wuniang's baby fat on her cheeks fell out.
After finally letting her go, Cui Peng released her and then experienced the incident of splitting up her family.
It was said that it was a family split, but it was actually forced by Cui Peng, and the family of four wanted to leave their hometown to avoid disaster.
Cui Wuniang was full of uneasiness.
She was worried about Mr. Cui’s illness and Cui Yan’s injury.
Only when her mother, Mrs. Cui, would Cui Wuniang feel temporarily at ease when she was hugged by her mother, and she would not be able to feel panicked.
"Mom, I'm not afraid. No matter how fierce the elder brother is, he is not as powerful as the elder brother. He is afraid of his elder brother, so he wants to join outsiders to drive away his elder brother!"
Mrs. Cui rubbed her daughter's face, "You are so clever."
Mrs. Cui also figured this out so she was not panicked.
If a husband can take concubines and have other children, how can he be as reliable as a son?
There can be more than one wife and concubine, but only one mother. Cui Yan has a good leg and will have a bright future. Mrs. Cui is still in a stable mind.
She gently touched her daughter's face, "Zhou Heng was not attracted by Cui Peng. Your brother chose a good husband for you. With a mother here, you will not endure hardships."
Zhou Heng.
Now that the family is like this, can you still marry him?
Cui Wuniang leaned in her mother's arms. How could she leave her seriously ill father and her brother who broke her legs and get married on her own!
Cheng Qing was not relaxed on the way back to Nanyi.
If she was Cui Peng, both sides had already broken their faces and would have to send someone to intercept Cui Yan halfway. Only when she went to Nanyi County would it be really safe.
On the way, I didn't dare to stop the boat and hired a doctor again for Mr. Cui and Cui Yan. I walked for three or four days of water in a hurry before I arrived at the Nanyi County Wharf.
Cui Yan studied in academy and bought a house in Xuandu Mansion. Cui Yan rarely went to live there once, but at this time he became a family of four and several loyal servants.
Cheng Qing even wanted the Cui family to settle in Nanyi County and take care of each other.
Cui Yan refused: "Your sister is going to get married. It's so inconvenient for so many of us to come to disturb us. My sister also wants to get married. Her surname is Cui, so how can she get married from the Cheng family? Let's wait until our two families finish their wedding. Besides, it's better to hire a doctor in Xuandu Mansion. My father's illness and my legs must be treated again."
What Cui Yan said is true.
When Cheng Qing helped the Cui family settle in the city, it was already September 28th.
Cui Wuniang and Zhou Heng got married before Cheng Hui and Dong Jinqiu. When the Cui family encountered such a thing, Cui Wuniang's marriage was delayed. Cui Wuniang herself was unwilling to marry. Her family is now in chaos. She wants to stay at home to take care of Mr. Cui and Cui Yan.
Zhou Heng was very considerate of this.
If you marry into the Zhou family, how can your new wife stay in your parents' home all the time?
Zhou Heng doesn't care, and outsiders will also accuse Cui Wuniang.
Cui Yan privately called Zhou Heng to discuss the marriage again. If Zhou Heng didn't want to marry Cui Wuniang now, Cui Yan would not blame him. The two of them were still classmates and friends, which would not affect their friendship.
"The resources I could give you in the past will be difficult in the future. Before I was dismissed, I just heard about the Imperial College. The Cui family did not follow up, so it is probably..."
If it weren't for the fact that Cui Yan was still an injury, Zhou Heng would definitely have a big fight with him.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Heng forced himself to calm down: "Cui Yan, in your eyes, is Zhou a kind of ungrateful person? I exchanged a marriage letter with the fifth lady. Why don't you marry her? There is also the Imperial College, and I can also take the tribute supervisor election exam by myself. Don't worry about these!"
Zhou Heng was not worried about whether he could go to the Imperial College, he was even more worried about Cui Yan now.
