Chapter 127 Three Days of Washing (Part Three)

Cui Wei was taken aback, and realized that she had said the wrong thing again.She is not the little clerk in her previous life now, she can wander around when she has nothing to do.

Now, the person she is wearing is a noble daughter of a noble family. Before she traveled, she always heard people say that the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open and the status of women was high. But when she really lived in this dynasty, she realized that things were not as they were in the legend. .

It is true that the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are open, but it must also be compared. Compared with the strict etiquette of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the requirements for women here are indeed not so perverted.

But it's not civilized enough to allow a rich lady to go shopping on the street at will.

What's more, she was just an unfavored concubine, and she was cowardly and not good at talking. She existed like Jia Yingchun.

Therefore, the Shuyuans in Beijing will not invite Cui Wei at all when they hold tea parties, flower viewing banquets, spring outings, outings and other activities.

After Cui Wei crossed, she went out twice in total, and each time she only went to the east and west cities, accompanied by her sixth sister-in-law.

Now she said that she had seen a noble lady who was raised in the palace, and the first person who became suspicious was Liu Shao's wife, Mrs. Xiaoliu.

Seeing that all the female members of the Cui family were staring at her in surprise at this moment, Cui Wei hurriedly covered up and said: "Hehe, the eighth sister-in-law was joking. See you by chance."

While talking, Cui Wei leaned in front of the big kang, pretending to be intimate, and continued to chat, "It must be the princess with a kind face. It looks familiar to me, but I have never seen it in person."

Cui Wei thinks that this is very appropriate, but she ignores one point. What she is presenting is not the Qing Dynasty where the monarchy was centralized to the point of enslavement. Here, the most respected by the society is not the so-called royal etiquette, but Those aristocratic families that have been inherited for hundreds of years.

And quite coincidentally, her "little concubine" was the daughter of the Cui family who was originally ranked first in the "Clan Chronicles". Although suppressed by the court, she was recognized by the society as the first surname.

Even today's saints, on the one hand, try their best to suppress the old aristocrats, and on the other hand, they imitate the gentry's gorgeous etiquette and noble family style everywhere.

Cui Wei said that, in the eyes of the world, she is contemptuous and self-deprecating, and the Cui family will think her unworthy after seeing her.

Xiao Nan raised his forehead, she had mentioned several times about this suspected fellow villager.

What makes Xiao Nan helpless is that Cui Wei's words and deeds should be a smart person, but for some reason, she doesn't seem to listen to persuasion, and often does some inappropriate things.

Moreover, what made Xiao Nan feel the most amusing was that whenever he persuaded Cui Wei, Cui Wei was either very impatient, or showed a look of pity, looking down at Xiao Nan with a godlike attitude.It's as if she is the master of the whole show, and everyone's fate is in her control.

For such an overconfident person, Xiao Nan let go after reminding him a few times, I only hope that Cui Wei will not regret it in the future.

Xiaoliu's brows frowned, she was born in Hedong Liu's family, which may be worse than her in-law's Cui's, a top Shandong family.But it is also the Jiangzuo family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, far more profound than the Li royal family with Hu blood.Hearing Cui Wei praise Li so much made her feel very uncomfortable.

But Cui Wei is her own sister-in-law, and the couple are in a difficult situation in the Cui family, and they need the help of this younger sister. Even if they want to reprimand, they can't do it in front of outsiders.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liu coughed lightly, changed the subject and said, "Eighth brother and sister, why don't you see the little baby?"

The other female family members of the Cui family also came to their senses, yes, they came to participate in the three-day bath, not to listen to their own daughters talking nonsense, and while echoing Xiaoliu, they secretly rejoiced——fortunately, ok , Fortunately, there are no outsiders here.

"Oh, my uncle and the others are here. They wanted to see the little lady, so Aye ordered the wet nurse to carry her to the front."

Seeing that Cui Wei still didn't realize that he had said something wrong again, Xiao Nan sighed silently, and followed Xiao Liu's words.

In fact, Xiao Nan sympathized with Cui Wei, he had suffered such a loss in his previous life.There is no way, such things as temperament can't be cultivated overnight.

At this time, the little maid outside the door preached:
"Eight Lady, the head of Dingxiang County is here."

"Please!"

Xiao Nan sat up straight, and explained to the female family members of the Cui family with a smile while shouting please, "Ah Min is the young lady of General Shi's family, and also my good friend!"

This was for the second old lady. She was Cui Shouyi's successor wife when he was in office. She worked as an official outside with him all the year round and rarely returned to the capital. She might not be able to recognize all the big and small dignitaries in the capital.

Cui Shouyi was a military general, and the second old lady was familiar with several powerful generals in the army.If Xiao Nan said that Ah Ming is the daughter of the Dingxiang county lord, she probably still doesn't know.

But when it comes to General Shi, anyone who knows a little about state affairs knows that the only one who can be called General Shi in the current dynasty is the loyal General Ashina who returned from the Turks.

Sure enough, when the second old lady heard that the surname was Shi, she nodded suddenly and said with a smile, "Hehe, I heard that your second uncle often talked about General Shi and called him a hero among men."

"Who praises me again!"

Ah Ming walked in with a smile, and saw that the room was full of pink and black hairpins, but she didn't show any strange color, but stepped forward to salute gracefully.

Xiao Nan introduced one by one from the side, and finally his eyes fell on Ah Ming, and he said with a smile: "Why did you come? Nanping just left."

As he said that, Xiao Nan blinked deliberately, conveying a deep meaning that only the two of them could understand.

Ah Ming rolled her eyes at an angle where no one was looking, and said coolly, "Ah, what a pity!"

Isn't it a pity, during the autumn hunting, she and Nanping had a few fights in the hunting ground, because they were dragged by others and the winner was not determined.

And in the few months after Ah Min Qiulie returned to Beijing, he stayed at home every day and followed his sister-in-law to learn how to be a housekeeper, and spent some time chatting privately with Xiao Nan, so he didn't attend the party in Beijing.

Counting it, Ah Ming has not seen Nan Ping and those few noble girls who often play with for several months.

Seeing that Xiao Nan spoke casually with A-Mu, the eldest lady knew that they must have a lot of private things to say, so she said: "Qiao Mu, after returning yesterday, the husband said that he gave the little lady a name, because she is our family member. The eldest granddaughter of her, so she specially named her Lingxi."

It seems that the miraculous sight of the sweet-scented rhinoceros blooming in winter yesterday has somewhat affected the eldest lady's view of Xiao Nan's mother and daughter. Today, when she talked about the baby, her smile was a little more sincere.

In fact, this is also Cui Ze's handwriting. He heard from his wife and children last night that his newly added granddaughter is highly valued by the Xiao family and the eldest princess, and Xiao Jing even chose the name himself.

After thinking about it again and again, Cui Ze decided to act first and grab the naming rights before the Xiao family before the guests. At this point, the Xiao family has already shown it clearly. If the Cui family disagrees with Xiao Jing's proposal, the eldest princess will be very afraid Maybe he went to the palace to ask the saint to give him a name.

Once this happened, people would not say that Cui Ze didn't value his granddaughter and disdain to name his granddaughter, but they would laugh at him that the Cui family is not as noble as the Xiao family.

The Cui family has enough right and wrong, and Cui Ze doesn't want to have any more troubles.

The corner of Xiao Nan's mouth was slightly raised, and he said gratefully: "Qiao Mu Dai Lingxi thanked Father."

The eldest lady explained to Xiao Nan a few more words, and then she was satisfied with taking all the female relatives to the flower hall in the atrium to be seated.

After watching everyone leave, Ah Ming sat on the edge of the kang unceremoniously, observed Xiao Nan carefully up and down, and then nodded solemnly: "Yes, I'm fat."

Xiao Nan twitched the corners of his mouth and complained secretly, what kind of expression do you have, it seems like you are judging whether a pig can be slaughtered and eaten.

Ah Ming didn't seem to notice Xiao Nan's convulsions, and asked curiously: "Is your body feeling better? People say that you almost died of dystocia, what's going on?"

She didn't tell Xiao Anan, after hearing the news, she was so anxious that she cried.

"Well, it's all right." Xiao Nan saw the concern in A's eyes, and nodded without talking nonsense.

Ah Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. By the way, what did Nan Ping say about 'faithful advice'?"

Xiao Nan smiled, and said: "It's similar to what you mean, but she's wondering why I can still sit here so well."

Ah Ming snorted softly: "Hmph, crow's mouth. By the way, you should also be careful. I heard from my sister-in-law that when she entered the palace last month, Concubine Yang mentioned Nanping's marriage. Nanping still said that,' Non-gentry families do not marry'. But I see what she means, she is still thinking about Cui Jiayulang."

Facing his former oolong rival in love, Xiao Nan didn't take it seriously, instead he asked about Ah's recent situation, "Let's not talk about her, let's talk about you. How? Which one do you, Aye, like?"

Ah Ming blushed, she immediately lowered her head, twitched for a while, and then said: "I hate it, I won't tell you anymore!"

Saying that, Ah Ming got up and ran out, leaving Xiao Nan with a shy back, which really made Xiao Nan a little dumbfounded.

But Ah Ming came out at the right time, because the auspicious time had come, and Mrs. Wen was holding Xiao Lingxi to give birth according to the custom.

The guests who came to watch the ceremony, no matter they were invited or uninvited, all generously presented gold and silver auspicious pouches. The little meatball who hadn't opened her eyes boasted that she was a national beauty and a rare talent.

The male guests at the front were not idle either, they knelt and sat in the main hall of the atrium, listening to the Xi'erwen that Cui Youbo drove out overnight with a smile on their faces.

Cui Bazheng was having fun reading, when suddenly someone came to report, "An angel has come to proclaim the decree!"

Everyone was shocked, Xiao Jing and others who were sitting in the main hall hurriedly got up, and while ordering the servants to prepare the incense table for receiving the order, they led their son out.

The female family members also heard the movement in the back hall, and stopped their insincere chatting one after another, and looked at the eldest princess sitting on the right seat with different expressions.

The Eldest Princess didn't show any abnormality, she continued to hold her well-behaved little grandson, and talked to Mrs. Cui Er and Mrs. Elder who were kneeling at the head.

After a while, a little maid happily ran to report:
"Eldest princess, great joy, the sage named the head of the county as the head of Xiangcheng, with eight hundred households in the city!"
