Chapter 409 The Smiling Nurse

Chapter 409 The Smiling Nurse

The eldest grandson of the Cui family was named Cui Ge. There used to be a wet nurse. When the Cui family temporarily expelled the slaves to pick up the car, she also left the house and stayed at her own home outside the city for a few days, feeding other people's children for several years. She wants to use this precious time to take good care of her son.

"This wet nurse is old and ugly. I look disgusting. I can't let her surprise Your Majesty."

The four-year-old child needs someone to take care of him. Cui Teng chose a maid from Zhang Qinyan's side. "Your Majesty doesn't like beautiful women. Your appearance is relatively dignified. You can meet the driver and understand the rules?"

The maid knelt down immediately.

"Can you watch the children?"

The maid immediately made a hug, with a kind smile on her face. "Young Mistress" couldn't speak, and the maids tried to speak as little as possible.

Cui Teng was extremely satisfied. He thought it was all his own idea, and he just picked people casually. It wasn't until he thought about it carefully afterwards that he suddenly realized that from inviting the emperor to visit his little nephew to choosing a "dignified" maid, It was the idea that Zhang Qinyan instilled in him.

Her methods were gentle and ingenious, and Cui Teng didn't notice it at the time.

The "dignified maid" is named Ah Zhen, one of several maids that Zhang Qinyan personally bought a few months ago. She is more than 30 years old. Cui Teng thinks she is old, and feels that she has been beaten by several hands. I like it. Zhang Qinyan said that he needed an experienced maid by his side. Cui Teng thought it made sense, so he paid for it.

Azhen is a southerner and speaks with an accent, which is one of the reasons why she is reluctant to speak. She knows that the male host doesn't like her, so when Cui Teng came, she didn't show up very much. She just guarded the door inside and outside. any errors.

When Cui Teng wanted to temporarily choose a caregiver for his little nephew, he was awakened by Zhang Qinyan and immediately thought of her.

Cui Ge is the grandson of Cui's family. Although he is young, he has a good temper. The old wet nurse is often bullied by him, but the new wet nurse won the favor of the little guy in less than half an hour. He took Jane's hand and faced Cui Teng. Said, "Second uncle, I want her to stay with me in the future."

Cui Teng didn't care, he also liked this little nephew very much, and said with a smile: "What about the former one? People have worked so hard to feed you, so if you don't want it, you don't want it?"

"Old and ugly, I don't want it!" Trager said with disgust.

Cui Teng laughed and touched the top of his nephew's head, "Good boy, he is the seed of my Cui family, when you grow up, the second uncle will take you... No, when you grow up, you will not be allowed to step in the second uncle's house. Enter."

Trager blinked, not understanding what the second uncle meant, "You don't give me the delicious food, right?"

In terms of beauty, Azhen is by no means a natural beauty, but she is born with a gentle and amiable face. No matter who she sees, she will smile first. In front of Zhang Qinyan, she rarely speaks, but when facing children, she talks a lot. Whispering, telling stories, telling jokes, making Trigger's mouth shut.

Cui Teng became more and more satisfied, but he forgot about it the next day, and only thought about how to show the best things of the Cui family to the emperor in just half a day.

Cui Hong didn't know anything about these things. He was used to staying in the military camp, and he always thought that orders could be banned at home. Since he said that "everything should be kept simple", there would be no accidents.

Cui Teng didn't dare to disobey his father's orders at first, but he has a backer. After Laojun heard about his grandson's plan, he greatly appreciated it, "My grandson is still the smartest. Since we can't talk about pomp, let's keep improving on the details. , give Your Majesty a good impression, and let outsiders know that our Cui family is not a rich man, and we do not fight for wealth with the new rich. Good grandson, you can do it anyway, if your father is angry afterwards, let him find me. I have my great-grandson, who is the only seedling of our Cui family, you must arrange the meeting well and pave the way for him."

"Hey, Lao Jun, are you looking down on me? When I work hard, next year, Lao Jun will surround a dozen great-grandchildren in front of his knees."

Cui Teng did make careful arrangements, and even prepared what his nephew should say in front of the emperor. The four-year-old Cui Ge put on a military uniform - not real iron armor or leather armor, but "painted armor", which was extremely realistic. It is very light to wear.

Cui Teng also memorized a plan on how to suppress the bandits. This was specially made by Cui Teng. He was not willing to show off in front of the emperor. After streamlining, he handed it over to his nephew. surprised.

The ultimate goal of the whole plan is to leave the emperor for another half a day after lunch. If he can persuade the emperor to spend the night in the Cui Mansion, it will be a complete merit.

Cui Teng ran to the door ahead of time and said loudly, "Your Majesty is here, why don't Cui Ge come out to pick him up soon?"

The four-year-old dressed as a general stepped out, somewhat terrified. He didn't act so naturally in front of his second uncle. He didn't pounce directly in front of the emperor as planned. In a tender voice, he said, "Little minister Tragge, I meet Your Majesty. This little minister has no regrets in this life."

Dressed in military uniform, coupled with adult-like words, made the emperor and everyone laugh.

The laughter took away the last bit of panic in Trager's heart, and he laughed too, "Your Majesty is really young, younger than your second uncle, and more handsome than your second uncle."

Everyone laughed louder, but Cui Teng's face turned red. He didn't arrange these words. He pulled his nephew up and said, "Bullshit." He immediately smiled at the emperor, "Your Majesty is indeed younger than me. Handsome, but this kid... shouldn't talk nonsense."

"I don't want to talk nonsense either." Trager was no longer afraid. "But as soon as I saw His Majesty, I felt that I could say anything."

"Tong Yan Wuji." Han Ruzi said with a smile, "Little guy, what general are you wearing in military uniform?"

"Infantry, Your Majesty, this little minister is an infantry general."

Han Ruzi was a little surprised. Most children are willing to be cavalry generals. "Oh, what are the benefits of infantry?"

"Advances and retreats are free and smooth, and the infantry is infinitely useful. In the hands of the generals Yong is a piece of loose sand, but when they are under the command of the generals, they are invincible."

This is a word that Cui Teng asked someone to write in advance. Although there is nothing special about it, it is quite interesting to say it by Cui Teng.

It was the first time the emperor laughed so happily after entering the mansion, and Cui Teng was elated, "Your Majesty enters the house, let's not get cold outside."

Cui Teng pulled his nephew aside and let the eunuch Zhang Youcai and a guard enter first.

Azhen knelt in the corner with a few toys beside her. Zhang Youcai felt that there was no problem, and the guards didn't notice anything unusual.

Wang He didn't go into the house to check. He knew that there was a wet nurse in the house, and he even knew the name "Azhen". He never had the slightest suspicion. He was guarding against outsiders. corner, making sure no unlicensed minions are hiding.

When Han Ruzi entered the room, he saw a shelf of books at first glance, but didn't notice the woman kneeling on the ground at all.

"Are you reading now?" Han Ruzi asked.

"I know a few words, and I still can't read what's in the book, but there is an old gentleman at home who tells me the stories in it." Trager is a child after all. .

"What's your favorite story?"

"The story of Taizu." Cui Ge's eyes lit up, "Taizu killed a tiger with a sword, Taizu raised an army to kill a tyrant, Taizu defeated Chen Qi, and Taizu destroyed Zhuang Zhao... these are my favorite stories."

Han Ruzi was overjoyed. The stories he loved to listen to his mother when he was a child were also the great achievements of Taizu.

From the moment Trager made everyone laugh at the door, the sound of the piano upstairs in the distance was ignored, and its sudden cessation would naturally not be noticed.

Outside the house, Wang He began to think that he was thinking too much. The guards were so tight and it was broad daylight. Unless it was an immortal, what kind of assassin could break in and stab him?

Separated by a courtyard, Cui Hongzheng and the Queen had a very pleasant conversation. The father and daughter had not seen each other for many days. They only contacted by letter. To prevent leaks, they could not write everything in the letter. When unrelated relatives left, only his mother, Lao Jun, refused to leave, so he had to tolerate it.

"When things are extreme, things will turn against each other. Father, the power of the Cui family has no chance of increasing. If we fight again at this time, we will inevitably be suspicious of others. I hope that my father will give priority to retreat, be humble at all times, and the daughter will be able to talk in the palace, and the Cui family will be able to live for a long time."

Cui Hong nodded again and again, "Isn't that the idea in my father's mind? That's why I handed over most of the military power. I also sent people to send gifts to the Queen Mother's Wang family, and even treat them as close relatives. My son, if you give birth to a prince, I can even hand over the Southern Army."

Cui Xiaojun blushed slightly, sitting on the side Laojun didn't like listening, "Look at what nonsense you father and daughter are talking about? Why is the Cui family sorry for the emperor, so be so careful? The family has made great contributions. One of them stayed with the emperor when he was the most humble. And Cui Teng, who died many times for His Majesty. Even my old lady, when the gentleman stole my jewelry in exchange for money to support the ministry, What did I say? Don't you acquiesce?"

Cui Xiaojun's face turned even redder. When Marquis Tired offered a lot of money to support the ministry, she used every trick to raise money at that time.

The old gentleman was aggressive, "What's the matter, the Cui family has done so many things, but it is wrong without credit? When I see the emperor, I want to ask, what did the Cui family do wrong."

Cui Hong smiled helplessly and wanted to persuade his mother, but his injury did not allow him to say too much, and he knew his mother's character and knew that she was powerful, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense when she really came before the emperor.

Cui Xiaojun said softly: "There is nothing wrong with the Cui family, but not long after His Majesty returned to Beijing, he wanted to clean up the imperial court. In His Majesty's view, this is more important than restoring the throne. Our family has done so many things for His Majesty, at this critical moment. , shouldn't you help Your Majesty again? This time the credit is greater than any previous time."

After saying this, Lao Jun laughed, "My granddaughter is the smartest. Many years ago, I said that the Cui family would rely on her, and sure enough, I got it right. Okay, as long as your father and daughter know the depths, I have nothing to say. Alas, I'm getting old too, and I have no other hope than seeing the deep roots of the Cui family. When I die, I can straighten my back when I see the old man, leaving him speechless."

Outside the Cui Mansion, in a room a few blocks away, the shackled Holy Soldier raised his head and muttered to himself, "It's time, it's time."

In the room of the grandson of Cui's family, the nurse, Ah Zhen, stood up slowly, still with a kind smile on her face.

Still no one noticed her, and the lively child was her best cover.
