Chapter 134 Alliance?

When Cui Xuan saw Cui Youbo and his wife came in, their mother and daughter were squeezed into a corner, and Xiao Nan didn't even pay attention to her, so she felt a little displeased.

Pouting her lips, Cui Xuan managed to find a spare moment, and interjected: "This is the starling and the eighth sister-in-law, hehe, little sister Axuan, I have met my brother and sister-in-law."

Then solemnly salute!
Xiao Nan seemed to have just discovered the existence of Yao's mother and daughter. He gave a surprised 'huh', and then said with a smile: "It's Qiao Mu who was rude, but I didn't see the fourth aunt and eldest sister. Don't blame the fourth aunt and eldest sister, it is really a festival There are so many people here, it makes me a little dizzy—"

As he said that, Xiao Nan turned his head and blamed Qiu's mother pretending to be displeased: "Mom is also true. Before my husband and I came, I was worried about the holidays. Auntie's affairs are complicated. When Auntie is free, we will come to greet you again. Why didn't you tell me that my fourth aunt and eldest sister were here? I was not prepared at all, so why would you give my sister a meeting gift?"

Mother Qiu lowered her head, covered the smile on her lips, and said fearfully and aggrievedly: "The old slave has indeed inquired, until we entered the Rongkang Hall and passed the atrium, the maid in the yard said that the lady I'm going to be free now... I, I don't know--" How did the fourth lady and the eldest lady appear.

Although Qiu's mother didn't say the second half of the sentence, anyone with a little brain can make it up by themselves.

Yao Shi and Cui Xuan moved their numb knees unnaturally, and their faces were full of embarrassment.

They met Cui Ba's family at the gate of the courtyard, but in order to show off to the eldest lady first, and got used to walking with big strides, they rushed past Cui Ba's side without saying hello to their couple at all.

Originally, Cui Xuan felt that she had caught evidence of Xiao Nan's disrespect and domineering.but don't want to...

Alas, everyone knows who is being rude.

After all, Mrs. Yao is older and thicker-skinned, so she forced out a smile and said, "Oh, Qiao Mu is so polite, you are all from my own family, what kind of gift do you want for a meeting? Hehe, my Axuan is the smartest child , Could it be that she will deny her brother and sister-in-law just because she didn't receive the meeting gift?!"

Having said that, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching when the word "meeting gift" was mentioned——Xiao Nan is a majestic princess, and he has no vulgar things in his hands, and throwing out anything at random is extremely valuable baby.

Tsk tsk, what a pity.

Xiao Nan could clearly see Yao's entanglement, he shook his head silently, and turned his head to wink at Yuzan who came to pay his respects.

Yuzan understood, quickly took out an apricot-colored purse, and quietly handed it to Xiao Nan.

"Hehe, Sister Axuan is a good girl who is sensible and polite. As a sister-in-law, I can't be stingy." Xiao Nan came to Cui Xuan's side and handed over the purse in person. Sister, let's play with it."

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Wang felt that when Xiao Nan said the word 'good boy', his tone was very heavy, with no deep meaning, as if he was responding to her 'ignorant child'.

Raising her head, Wang Shi glanced at Xiao Nan, and happened to meet her eyes.

Xiao Nan was slightly startled, then blinked at Wang Shi.

Wang understood and knew that she had guessed right, so she nodded with a smile.

Perhaps, she could also try to hang out more with the eighth siblings.

Her husband's official career seemed to be smooth, but Wang discovered some problems during the last crisis.

Yes, Cui Yanbo is the eldest son of the eldest son, the future head of the Cui family, but because he was kidnapped because of a woman, and let his younger brother see him seriously, he finally made a living and forced himself to the cliff , Can such ability and courage take on the responsibility of the Patriarch?
To put it bluntly, Cui Xianggong handed over the Cui family to Cui Yanbo, can he, can he support it?

Of course, if the eldest lady is in charge of the family, no matter whether Cui Yanbo has this ability or not, his status as the heir will never be threatened.

But in fact, the real owner of the Cui family is the one from Rongshoutang.

Don't look at her age, but her mind is not confused at all, and she must be courageous, courageous, and courageous. For the sake of the Cui family, she is so cruel to herself (she has never been married), let alone others .

Think about Cui Qing's biological mother, she was beaten to death by the old lady.

There are also those concubines who took advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, the ones who were killed by the staff, and the ones who sold them, none of them ended well.

Even now, the old lady is more than 80 years old, and after Cui Qing's matter has been rummaged out, she still assigns tasks calmly and calmly:

On the one hand, they sent someone to clean up Cui Yanbo's tail;

On the other hand, she took out all the secrets of Sanji Cui's family that she had collected over the years, and then she quietly ordered people to go back to her hometown, and set aside thousands of hectares of fertile land around the ancestral house as a sacrifice field, and deal with the shops and so on. appropriate.

Then, before Cui Qing's family entered, the three halls were separated, and the ancestral property was divided into four parts: Cui Shouren was the head of the family, and he got two parts, including the ancestral house in Beijing and his hometown, several farms, shops and all sacrificial offerings. Tian; the old lady and Cui Shouyi each got a share, including real estate, land and shops under their respective church numbers in Beijing.

It wasn't until then that Mrs. Wang discovered that the old lady was so prescient. After her second uncle married his stepwife, Mrs. Liu, she made the decision to divide the three siblings into three halls and re-divided the mansion in Beijing.

The courtyards around the central axis are of course the Rongkang Hall where the owner lives; the old lady is older and lives in Rongshou Hall on the east side; Cui Shouyi is the youngest and lives in Rong'an Hall on the west side.

Of the three halls, Rongkang Hall is the largest, followed by Rong'an Hall, and Rongshou Hall is the smallest.

But the layout is also the most exquisite and elegant. The place connected to Rongkang Hall is a mountain forest surrounded by small pavilions, rockery, deep pools of flowing water, flower beds and attics. The scenery is quite elegant.

When Cui Qing came back, the old lady proposed to set aside a yard between Rongkang Hall and Rongshou Hall for them to live in. After all, he was a descendant of Rongkang Hall, and he was also a legacy of the old lady's housework. The two of them should be responsible for the aftermath.

In the end, both Cui Shouren and Cui Shouyi disagreed.

They felt that letting the eldest sister live in the smallest Rongshou Hall was enough to wrong the elder sister, and when the family property was divided, the elder sister suffered a big loss again.

You know, if it wasn't for Cui Sanniang's life to protect each other back then, the two brothers Cui Shouren and Cui Shouyi would have been 'died' by someone with a heart, and it would be impossible to keep their huge family property.

Moreover, the two brothers know that one of them is good at literature and the other is fond of martial arts, but they can't take care of common affairs. In the past 70 years, if Cui Sanniang hadn't planned carefully and relied on their meager salary, the Cui family would have been empty.

Not to mention, sister's precise two political investments not only saved their family from being affected by the war, but also benefited greatly, even slightly surpassing the direct branch.

It is no exaggeration to say that my elder sister is the founder of the Cui family, and a benefactor that their brothers can never repay in their lifetime (the elder sister never married because of them).No, Elder Lin was wronged again in order to clean up the mess for the younger generation.

At the end of the negotiation, Cui Shouren waved his hand and cleared out a courtyard next to Chenguangyuan, and temporarily housed Cui Qing's family.

As for why you choose the courtyard next to Chenguangyuan?
It's not about bullying Cui Ba as the youngest son, or taking advantage of the powerful Ba Niangzi's absence to divide her territory. It is really that Chenguang Yuan and its attached small courtyards are the largest one in Rongkang Hall except the main hall.

Thinking back to this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but want to laugh. Speaking of which, the so-called Hepu Courtyard was simply a small deserted courtyard under the name of Chenguang Courtyard. Because it was close to a large pool and the houses were a bit damp, it was called Xiao Huangyuan. Nan has always ignored it, and did not take it into consideration when rebuilding the Chenguang Courtyard, which gave Yao the opportunity to be neighbors with Xiao Nan.

I just hope that Xiao Nan won't be forced to sue the old lady by this vulgar and cheeky 'fourth aunt'.

When Wang thought of the wise and majestic appearance of the old lady, the joy that had just flashed in her heart turned into endless bitterness.

It's not that she's pessimistic, it's because of the old lady's astuteness that it's impossible not to notice Yanbo's flaws.

If, if the old lady felt that Yanbo was unbearable to take on the responsibility of Zuozi, and forced the old Xianggong and Xianggong to choose another heir, what would happen to their family? !
Looking at Xiao Nan again, a thought flashed in Wang's mind, and she made up her mind - the old lady can prepare for the separation in advance, why doesn't she make more preparations before it happens.

After making up her mind, Wang Shi saw that Cui Ba and Xiao Nan had resigned, she quickly reported the work, and hurriedly followed.

"Eight younger siblings," Wang called to stop Xiao Nan.

Seeing this, Cui Ba thought that his sister-in-law had something to ask Xiao Nan for help, so he nodded to Xiao Nan, left two maidservants and two second-class maidservants for her, and led a group of people back first.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

The friendship between Xiao Nan and Wang's is not deep, and the two even complained about each other in private for the reconstruction of Chenguangyuan.

Wang Shi was about to elaborate, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yao Shi and Cui Xuan walking towards here with a few maidservants.

After thinking about it, Wang felt that today is not a good time to talk privately, so she leaned close to Xiao Nan and said in a low voice: "Fourth Aunt is a country rough person, she doesn't understand the rules of our family, so her words are bound to be absurd. Axuan has told people more than once that Chenguangyuan is a hundred times better than Hepuyuan, and after Ba Niangzi comes back, she will definitely live in Chenguangyuan."

Xiao Nan frowned, not understanding Wang's meaning for a moment.

She knew who Yao shi and Cui Xuan were, and if she was an ordinary shrew, it would be impossible for Cui Ba to escape from the house.

"A few days ago, everyone ordered me to set up a separate kitchen in the Hepu courtyard. Like the eighth siblings, they would turn the meals of the masters and servants in the courtyard into copper coins and hand them over to the fourth aunt."

Wang saw that Xiao Nan didn't understand what he meant, and Yao's mother and daughter were getting closer, so she stopped talking politely and went straight to the point, "The servants who served in the Hepu courtyard complained yesterday that the fourth lady was stingy and only cared about her. I was trying to save money, but I refused to use good ingredients for the servants, and I muttered that when Ba Niangzi came back, there would be delicious food."

OK, got it!

When Xiao Nan heard the first half of the sentence, he understood a little bit, and after listening to it, he completely understood.

She nodded, and nodded at Wang: "Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me. Actually, I still have some things I want to ask sister-in-law for help. It's just that during the holidays, sister-in-law is busy with many things, so I don't want to bother you. After the next year, sister-in-law will be free , I’m going to Yinghui Academy for advice, sister-in-law, please don’t blame me for trouble.”

PS: Well, the third update is a bit late, thank you for your support, good night, (*^__^*)...
