The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 123 Reward ([-])

Jinyu Yukui, formerly known as perch kuai, was named after Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. It is made by steaming golden oranges, fragrant flowers and leaves, perch with garlic, ginger, salt, white plum, orange peel, cooked chestnut meat and japonica rice.

It is famous all over the world because of its delicious and sweet taste, white fish meat like jade, and golden color of its ingredients. Sometimes there is a poem saying: "There is nothing to congratulate you, and it's time for golden jade and jade." Later, Wei Juyuan added this dish. In the famous Shaowei Banquet, it shows that this dish was popular in Tang Dynasty.

The ingredients needed, such as golden oranges and fragrant flowers and leaves, are all fruits and vegetables harvested in autumn, and the ingredients in Tang Dynasty were relatively scarce.

Although there are out-of-season fruits and vegetables cultivated in greenhouses, they are regarded as ominous by the world because they violate the laws of nature. Therefore, except for a small amount of cultivation for the royal family, there are very few fruits and vegetables that can be eaten in winter by ordinary people and even officials.

Wait, Royal?
Cui Youbo was stunned for a moment and then nodded in relief, that's right, his mother-in-law is the most honorable eldest princess in the royal family, how can the rewards in the palace be missed by the Xiao family.

Cui Youbo thought he had found the answer, so he didn't delve into it. He continued to look at his father-in-law, oh no, to be precise, he was looking at the daughter in his arms, enjoying this rare winter delicacy.

And Xiao Jing, who was sitting on the main seat, didn't respond to Cui Youbo's almost fiery gaze, and still focused on eating with two purposes.

It can be said that after a meal, only the three brothers Xiao Bo enjoyed it very much.

As for the Weng and son-in-law, Xiao Bo deeply thought that what they ate was not delicacies, but pink and tender buns.

And the little bun was already tired of being hugged for a long time, and no matter how lovingly her grandfather smiled, she closed her eyes, opened her small mouth, and cried with a 'wow'.

Cui Youbo hurriedly put down the silver chopsticks and spoons, ran to his father-in-law's food table, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong with A Yuan?"

The wet nurse behind Xiao Jing also hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "My son-in-law, the little lady is probably hungry."

Seeing how pitifully his granddaughter was crying, and hearing the nurse say that she was hungry, Xiao Jing immediately felt distressed, and hurriedly handed the crying baby to the nurse, "Go, hurry, don't starve my little Lingxi. "

Weng and son-in-law each called their own, and directly ignored each other to get their names.

"Yes!"

The nurse held the baby in her arms, and stepped back quickly.

So even though Cui Youbo stretched his neck, he couldn't see his daughter clearly.

Hearing his daughter's cries gradually fade away, Uncle Cui wanted to cry too—for Mao, what is it for Mao? Obviously this is his daughter Uncle Cui, why did he not even show his daughter's face when it took him a day and a night to give birth? Didn't see it?
Huh, he also really wants to hug the fragrant and soft little meat ball, and he also seems to kiss the tender little face of the little baby.

Obviously, Mr. Cui Balang completely forgot that the fundamental reason why he didn't see his newborn daughter last night was that he fainted early.

As for that 'one day', it is even more unreasonable. In other words, it is only the beginning of the morning, the beginning of a day.

However, Xiao Jing looked at Cui Youbo's bitter face gently, and felt secretly refreshed: Let you let Qiao Mu down?Made you pass out while the arbor was giving birth?So you still can't think of visiting Qiao Mu?Hmph, if you bully my daughter, I won't let you see your daughter!

After the ordeal just now, Cui Youbo lost his appetite, no matter how precious the delicacy was, he couldn't chew it.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law wants to see Qiao Mu."

Finally, before Xiao Jing's face turned completely black, Cui Youbo realized that he hadn't visited his wife yet, so he hurriedly sat down and asked for instructions.

Xiao Jing didn't want to take advantage of him so much, and said in a flat tone: "During the delivery yesterday, Qiao Mu was overworked and his body was damaged. He may still be resting now."

When Cui Youbo heard that his body was damaged, he was startled, and asked eagerly, "How could it be? Didn't Qiao Mu still—"

Under the slightly accusing gazes of Xiao's father and son, Cui Youbo suddenly stopped talking. He remembered that he passed out when he heard his daughter was born last night. He, he really didn't know what happened after that. Woolen cloth.

Could it be, could it be that Qiao Mu's condition is not good?

Thinking of this, Cui Youbo didn't care about the four people present, he hurriedly stood up, and said, "My son-in-law, go and have a look, I hope my father-in-law and elder brother-in-law will forgive me for being rude!"

Before the words were finished, the person had already ran out of the main hall and towards the main courtyard behind the main hall.

Looking at the back of Uncle Cui going away, Xiao Jing asked indifferently, "Where is the servant brought by Uncle Cui? Have you ever reported to Cui's house?"

Xiao Bo straightened up and replied respectfully: "In the hotel in the courtyard, after my younger sister gave birth yesterday, Mrs. Yuan ordered someone to send a letter to the outer court. Half an hour later, the porter came back and said that the sister-in-law's uncle Da took the name card of his sister-in-law and went back to Cui's house overnight."

Xiao Jing nodded, "Well, don't go out today if you have nothing to do, stay at home and wait for the distinguished guests. Just in time, I also want to have a good 'chat' with Cui Xianggong."

Of course, he can chat with them only if they are willing to come.

If the members of the Cui family are so short-sighted that they treat Qiao Mu poorly, and even come to visit her during childbirth, then don't blame him for being rude to Xiao.

Hearing the hidden anger in his father's words, the three Xiao Bo brothers were all terrified, they all straightened their backs and nodded in agreement.

In the dormitory of the main courtyard, Xiao Nan had already woken up, she begged Qin's mother to get her some hot water, and wiped her body with a cotton towel.

Alas, sister Keng's custom, you are not allowed to take a bath or wash your hair during the confinement period, wouldn't it be dirty to death.

However, this custom did not exist in ancient times. In Xiao Nan's first life, his cousin gave birth to a child, and was also instructed by the elders in the family. Although it is not impossible not to take a bath for a month, it is a taboo.

At that time, she was very puzzled, and quietly asked her cousin why she obeyed these bad habits.The cousin said sternly: If a custom can be followed for thousands of years without being abandoned, there must be a reason for its existence.

Now, Xiao Nan has given birth to her own child, so she can truly understand her cousin's thoughts. The experience passed down by these elders may not be scientific, but she doesn't have the guts to refuse to implement it.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, who can guarantee that the 'science' she believes is really science?

Besides, isn't it just a bit dirty, it's winter now, how dirty can it be if you don't take a bath for a month?

My mother once said that in the 80s of the Seventh Dynasty, there was a lack of supplies, and many ordinary people only took a bath twice a winter, so they lived well.

Trying to persuade himself from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Nan wiped his face with a warm handkerchief, rinsed his mouth, and then began to eat.

Three months before Xiao Nan gave birth, his appetite increased greatly, and he could eat four or five meals a day.

Now, in order to have enough milk to feed the baby, Xiao Nan has already made up his mind to work hard to nourish the baby. Anyway, Datang regards fat as beauty.

First, I ate a portion of Jin Yuyu, appetizing with a slightly sour golden orange, then ate half a pair of rotten pig's trotters, and finally was fed a bowl of crucian carp tofu soup by Qin's mother, and this ended today's morning meal .

The eldest princess and the three sisters-in-law also rushed over with Chaoshi, seeing that Xiao Nan was eating deliciously, they felt relieved.

Yuan Shi saw that Yulian brought another sliced ​​golden orange, and said with a smile: "It's Qiao Mu's way to find such a magical place, hehe, it also gave us a good time. You can eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day."

Seeing Yuan's gaze on the golden orange, the eldest princess knew what she was referring to without even thinking about it. With a thought, she thought of a way to help her daughter ask for grace.

However, the eldest princess did not show it. After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, she just glared at Yuan Shi with feigned anger, and said with a smile: "Listen to your words, it's as if you didn't eat the kumquats that were rewarded by the palace last winter." .”

She is the eldest princess, and A Niang and Aye love her so much. Every year the palace receives tributes, and she is the first one.

Yuan Shi has been serving the eldest princess all year round, knowing that she was joking with him, she was not afraid, instead she said with a smile on her face: "Thanks to my mother, my son was rewarded by the palace last year. It was a time of pride.

This year has been even better. It’s not as simple as being envious when I send the fruits and vegetables that Mrs. Xue brings every day to relatives’ homes... Originally, my cousin thought Mr. Wang Dalang was a businessman. It was Qiao Mu's handwriting again, and he immediately agreed..."

The Eldest Princess heard what Yuan said was interesting, she didn't complain about the lack of rewards in previous years, and praised her daughter unobtrusively, she was very happy in her heart, and the smile on her face couldn't be concealed.

At this moment, a message came from the door: "Report to the eldest princess, the young lady, and the county lord, Mr. Balang has come to see the county lord."

The eldest princess smiled and winked at Yuan Shi.

Yuan Shi understood, got up and walked outside, saluted Cui Ba with a smile, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Qiao Mu is fine, although she hurt her body during childbirth, as long as she rests for a while, she will recover."

Although she didn't see her father-in-law embarrassing Cui Ba in the main hall, she still knew that Xiao's father and son wanted to make trouble with Cui Ba.

Otherwise, the father-in-law would not have deliberately taken his sons to his sister's Osmanthus courtyard for breakfast.

Seeing his flustered expression at this moment, and the desperation of Xiao Nan's serious illness in his words, he guessed what the father-in-law must have said in front of Cui Ba.

However, men are not allowed to enter the delivery room during confinement. This is a rule, and this rule cannot be broken just because they are waiting for delivery at their natal home.

If it spreads out, people will not say that Cui Ba is ignorant, but that the Xiao family despises the rules with their power.

As a qualified mistress, of course Yuan would not tolerate such a thing that would damage the family's reputation.

"Really, are you all right?"

Cui Youbo didn't believe it, he swallowed his saliva, thinking of Ajin's half-dead appearance after giving birth, and what the imperial doctor said about her being difficult to conceive, Xiao Nan's pale, haggard appearance immediately appeared in his mind.

Gathering his mind, Cui Youbo shouted through the door of the cubicle at the top of his voice: "Qiao Mu, are you okay? But what's wrong? Did the imperial doctor give you a pulse yesterday? What did he say?"

Hearing Cui Youbo's shout, Xiao Nan couldn't help but think of his stupid appearance during the delivery last night, and the embarrassing thing about himself fainting after giving birth, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

This man may be naive and ignorant of the world, may be soft-hearted, and may have the potential to be a scumbag, but he is not a bad person, at least he is a man who can be reformed.

She would definitely not fall in love with him, but it shouldn't be too bad for the two of them to live together, right? !
