The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

"If the eldest princess is willing to teach you, that would be great."

Yan Lan supports her daughter's decision, "But she is busy with government affairs and has to worry about her marriage. I'm afraid..."

Cui Jiangjiang said firmly: "If Your Highness is free, I will ask her for advice; if she is busy, my daughter will figure out the roast duck sauce by herself. Mother, our Cui family has a big business. In the brewing industry, we have Xingyuan Sauce Shop and Vinegar Fragrance Pavilion." , there are Youzhou wine restaurants opening all over the country. The Cui family seems to be graceful and prosperous, but in fact there are quite a lot of problems. There are more than 20 Xingyuan sauce shops that have been losing money for several years. The old-fashioned soybean sauce has a single taste and Many families can make their own food, but it doesn't sell well. If we don't find ways to improve it, the sauce shop will have no choice but to close down."

And the eldest princess's unique sweet wheat sauce gave Cui Jiangjiang hope.

Yan Lan sighed: "Several clan uncles from the Cui family have suggested that the Xingyuan Sauce Shop be closed down."

Cui Jiangjiang begged, "Give my daughter a little more time."

Yan Lan said: "Jiang Jiang, you are nineteen years old. Your father discussed with me yesterday that it's time to arrange a marriage for you. Many of the aristocratic families in Yundu want to marry the Cui family and have sent matchmakers here. You Dad thinks the eldest son of the official family is good, but mother thinks it’s best for you to find a husband named Yan..."

"mother!"

Cui Jiangjiang raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you talking about business? Why did you bring it up with the marriage again?"

"Choosing a husband for you is the most serious and top priority."

Yan Lan is a very traditional matron. "You are already an old girl at the age of nineteen. You look down on one and shun the other. If it is not possible, marrying your cousin Qin Zhaoyi is also a good choice."

Cui Jiangjiang said in disbelief: "Can you please stop messing with the rules? Zhaoyi peed his pants in front of me when he was a child. He cried and I changed them for him."

How could they become husband and wife?

She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"What about Yan Renqing? He is also a talented person. Although his background is somewhat inferior, your brother-in-law values ​​him..."

"He is a generation above me!"

Cui Jiangjiang almost jumped up, "Mom, don't be too outrageous. You don't hesitate to force two inferiors together for the sake of marriage."

Yan Lan didn't feel that she was outrageous: "You two have different surnames, so you can get married. You are not young anymore. If we delay it any longer, there will be a lot of gossip."

"Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is twenty-two years old before she is married to the regent. Does anyone in Yundu dare to call her an old girl?"

Cui Jiangjiang said softly, "I'm only nineteen, so I'm still young."

Yan Lan's voice suddenly rose: "Can it be the same? Let alone twenty-two, the eldest princess is thirty-two or forty-two and has not gotten married. No one in this huge imperial city is talking about her. She doesn't care at all. We need to consolidate our power through marriage.”

"Then do I need it?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"With your influence, you can't surpass your father, me, or even the other uncles and elders of the ten Cui clans. You can only obey the family's arrangements!"

Yan Lan rarely quarreled with her daughter, but this time, she didn't get used to it.

Something bloody is revealed.

Cui Jiangjiang was very frustrated: "My daughter has a heart..."

Yan Lan's expression turned cold: "I'm too humble and not worthy of you."

Cui Jiangjiang argued: "He is very talented. He has been studying and practicing calligraphy since he was a child. How can he be humble?"

"It's wrong to be in a bad family, so you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible." Yan Lan said solemnly, "The son of a master of ethnic studies will most likely inherit his father's legacy and become a teacher. And you are the eldest lady of the Cui family. There is no chance between you two."

"Snobbery."

Cui Jiangjiang complained in a low voice dissatisfiedly.

Yan Lan threatened: "If you don't obey me, I will send you to the palace."

Cui Jiangjiang was completely annoyed and yelled at her mother: "Even if I die, I will never enter the harem! My father is already Zhongshuling. He is in the cabinet. This official has almost done his best. Why should my daughter go there?" This muddy water!”

Yan Lan said: "If you continue to correspond with that man, your father will immediately send you to be a concubine and keep you company with the queen."

Cui Jiangjiang cried angrily: "What's the difference between entering the harem of the little puppet emperor and going to jail? My daughter doesn't want it!"

She knows her parents too well.

It's not just a casual threat, they may have actually considered this possibility!

"With your background, you are at least one of the four concubines. Befriending the Queen of the Yan family, and having a favored prince in the future will be of endless benefit. Moreover, in the harem, you can also talk to the emperor and speak kindly to your father. sentence."

Yan Lan's little abacus was rattling.

Cui Jiangjiang sneered: "Isn't it enough to sacrifice one Queen of the Yan family? Do you want me to be involved too? Be careful of being pecked in the eye by an eagle. The more concubines the emperor marries, the more supporters he will have and the greater his energy will be. Maybe It will come back one day."

*. *. *

Cui Jiangjiang was holding a small bundle.

Standing in the flower hall of the eldest princess's mansion.

"Little aunt, my mother forced me to get married. She was so long-winded that she read and recited like Tang Monk. I couldn't bear it anymore and ran away from home in anger!"

"When did you leave Cui Mansion?"

"It's time."

Mu Tingxue looked at the sundial and saw that it was noon now.

Cui Jiangjiang said in an aggrieved tone: "I am homeless on the streets of Yundu."

Mu Tingxue nodded.

Cui Jiangjiang blushed: "I beg my aunt to take her in."

Zebao came out from behind Mu Tingxue and made a face at Cui Jiangjiang: "Cousin, you have been wandering on Yundu Street for an hour. Cui's residence is just a street away from the eldest princess's residence. Is there anything else on your lips? Did you pass by the Lao Wang Steamed Rice Noodles Cake Shop on Yaoguang Street and buy some steamed glutinous rice cakes to eat?"

Cui Jiangjiang quickly wiped the residue from his mouth.

Zebao crossed his arms and said, "You are not as good as me. I ran away from home and wandered for a whole day. Finally, I wandered into a small forest. I was so hungry that my stomach growled and I had no strength to walk. I hid in a tree. Rest in the cave.”

Mu Tingxue tried her best to suppress her laughter.

The little cute baby did not save any face for County Master Xianya and exposed her face to face.

"Aze, I wandered on two streets, not one!"

"I am Qitiaojie!" Zebao said as if I am more powerful, "Eldest cousin, you are not running away from home at all. You are shopping and eating all the way. It is very comfortable and leisurely."

"If you don't call it running away from home, what would you call it?"

"Call away relatives." Zebao thought about it seriously and gave a reliable answer.

Cui Jiangjiang didn't know how to argue.

Mu Tingxue comforted her: "Yunhai Pavilion is empty. You can stay here for a few days. When you feel homesick, you can go back."

The pampered eldest daughter of a well-off family bravely ran away from home for freedom and came to the eldest princess's mansion to seek refuge. She couldn't break the girl's heart.

As an elder, you should encourage her and not ridicule or suppress her.
