The Space Doctor Became the Favorite of the Exiled Powerful Minister - #411 - Chapter 411: Extra: Cui Mansion (first update)

Jiang Zhiluo, Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin have only been in the capital for a short time, and they really didn’t pay attention to the situation of the Pei family.

 Perhaps they have all forgotten the Pei family.

Jiang Zhiluo said: “Looking at the way Pei Nanchen is dressed, the Pei family must be in dire straits.”

“They are valued by the Southern Emperor, and they also have an appointed consort. They were the same faction as the former Southern Emperor, so naturally they will not be valued by the new Emperor.”

“Whether he can study in the Imperial College remains to be seen.”

Jiang Zhiluo didn’t say much else.

Cui Qingci is naturally not stupid. She said, “Now that he sees my brother becoming the number one scholar, he thinks of my Cui family.”

Although she didn’t want to think too much about it, the Pei family used to act like they were greedy for vanity and fearful of power.

If not, how to explain that the Pei family wanted to kill her.

Thinking of what it was like at Pei’s house at that time, Cui Qingci’s eyes became firmer.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Qingci’s expression and saw that she was a sensible person, so she stopped worrying about it.

 Soon, they arrived at Cui Mansion.

There were also many people with their children surrounding the gate of Cui Mansion. It was very lively, and they all wanted to benefit from the talent of the Number One Scholar.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhiluo understood and had people prepare baskets of copper coins and scatter them out.

　　Everyone was saying nice things and it was very lively.

Looking at the lively scene, Jiang Zhiluo was also happy, and the groom drove the carriage into the house.

 In the past, Cui Guogong’s mansion was very large and covered a large area. Now that only a few of them live there, Mrs. Cui is not used to it.

 And it’s easy to remember the past.

But Mrs. Cui was grateful to the Emperor for being able to live in the Cui family again and take back the Cui Mansion.

 She understood that the emperor took good care of the Cui family.

As if she understood what Mrs. Cui was thinking, Jiang Zhiluo said: “Mother, Cui’s house is so big and has so many yards. We can renovate it and plant some vegetables in it.”

“When Mom has nothing to do, she can also play with vegetables and other things in the house. If she likes flowers, she can also plant some flowers.”

As soon as she heard about planting vegetables, Mrs. Cui came to her senses and said, “Yes, you can grow vegetables.”

 “You don’t need to plant any flowers, just vegetables. It’s practical.”

Mrs. Cui has lived in Donghe Village for two or three years, but she can’t live without leisure.

 Previously in the yard of Donghe Village, they also liked to grow some vegetables in the yard.

 Now you can also play with some vegetables in Cui Mansion.

Moreover, after they returned to Cui Mansion, they happened to find several former domestic slaves of Cui Mansion.

 They are loyal to the Cui family, and they are grateful for the kindness of letting them out of the house when the Cui family was exiled. Now that they are back, they work even harder.

It is March now, so I can plant some things.

Jiang Zhiluo wants to grow some vegetables, as well as some potatoes and sweet potatoes.

However, thinking that Cui Hejin would come back for dinner at noon, Jiang Zhiluo went to the kitchen to cook in person.

 On weekdays, there are people who specialize in cooking in the kitchen.

They are all people from Cui Mansion in the past.

Although their cooking is very good, it lacks a bit of flavor. Jiang Zhiluo also prepares special seasonings to add flavor, so the meals taste better.

Jiang Zhiluo is busy in the kitchen.

I heard a sound coming from outside, and soon I saw Cui Hejin coming back wearing the No. 1 Scholar uniform.

It’s just that Jiang Zhiluo didn’t expect that he would come into the kitchen to look for her as soon as he came back.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at his clothes and really thought they looked very good.

Her eyes lit up just by looking at it, “This is the kitchen, why are you here?”

 “There’s a lot of oil smoke here.”

Cui Hejin whispered: “Just let the kitchen cook.”

 When he returns home, he has a habit of looking for his Zhiluo first. After seeing her, he will feel at ease.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said: “It’s okay, you won the first prize in the exam. Today is a happy day. I will cook the food myself, so we can celebrate too.”

“And I also brewed osmanthus wine before, so I just took it out to drink.”

“OK!”

 “You go and do your work first, mother said you will also worship your ancestors when you come back.”

The Cui Mansion Ancestral Hall has already placed the memorial tablets for the ancestors of the Cui family.

Cui Hejin won the first prize in the examination, so he naturally had to offer incense first. Cui Hejin reached out and gently stroked Jiang Zhiluo’s hair and said, “Okay, just don’t be tired.”

 “Don’t worry, this kind of work is not tiring.”

“And you won the first prize in the exam, I’m very happy.”

Jiang Zhiluo was indeed very happy, with a smile in her eyes.

Everything Cui Hejin did was to make his Zhiluo happy.

After staying with Jiang Zhiluo for a while, Cui Hejin went to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.

 In the ancestral hall, Cui Hejin burned incense to worship his ancestors, and too many emotions surged in his heart.

 When the Cui family was exiled and his grandfather and father died, he had too many things suppressed in his heart.

 It was like a huge stone weighing on the bottom of his heart.

Whether he could survive the exile is another matter.

He also met Zhi Luo in Donghe Village. To him, the Cui family was a dark place.

Thinking of Jiang Zhiluo, Cui Hejin had a gentle look on his face.

 Because Zhi Luo was here, the hardships on the road to exile, the hardships in Donghe Village at the beginning, and the pain of being poisoned and having her internal strength destroyed by martial arts were nothing.

 Cui Hejin came out of the ancestral hall, and Mrs. Cui couldn’t help crying when she looked at him.

“Okay, okay, your father and your grandfather will be extremely happy to see that you have won the first prize in the exam.”

“Your grandfather asked you to study literature and martial arts. At that time, he actually thought about letting the Cui family change their family and follow the path of civil servants.”

 It is not easy to be a general.

Even if a military general risks his life to perform meritorious service on the battlefield, he may not get a good word from the emperor.

 Happiness may lead to success.

 Civil officials are more stable.

Cui Hejin nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, the guard came to report: “Master, old lady, there are several distinguished guests outside the door, including Prince Rong, Prince Yan, Prince An, Prince Chengen…”

Cui Hejin’s expression changed.

These are all influential figures in the capital.

 What a distinguished guest.

 Originally, the Cui Mansion ordered no banquets or entertaining guests.

For this reason, Jiang Zhiluo did not let anyone from the Wei Mansion come over.

 It’s just that people from the Wei Mansion sent many gifts early in the morning.

Unexpectedly, even if the Cui family released the news, someone would still come.

  And some of them are his former classmates and friends.

 “Invite them in!”

“yes!”

Mrs. Cui is a little worried.

Cui Hejin said: “Mom, don’t worry, I’m going to entertain you.”

“Well.”

Over in the kitchen, Jiang Zhiluo heard that many distinguished guests came to the house.

 He added some more vegetables.

Jiang Zhiluo doesn’t feel hard cooking, but cooks very quickly.

After it was ready, it was time for the banquet at noon, and she asked the kitchen people to send it to entertain the distinguished guests.

Jiang Zhiluo, Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci were eating in the inner hall.

 …

Cui Hejin entertained several distinguished guests at the banquet. After a few words of greeting, the food was served in the kitchen.

 Actually, Cui Hejin doesn’t want everyone to eat the rice cooked by Zhi Luo.

It’s just that these few people are of high status and it’s hard not to entertain them.

Mr. Yan Xiaohou smelled the fragrance and said excitedly: “Brother Cui, I have never seen any of these dishes. They smell so delicious!”

 The best thing about Mr. Yan Xiaohou is eating. You can tell the food is delicious by smelling the aroma. (End of chapter)
