The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 138 New Year's Eve (Part [-])

Under the eyes of everyone, Xiao Nan seemed to have been slapped twice by the Da Furen, the blood from his whole body rushed to his head, and his cheeks were flushed.

Her heart was beating so hard that she couldn't even hear any sound, only the sound of her heart beating one after the other.

Clenching his fists desperately, Xiao Nan let out a long breath, and said with a cold face: "My lord mother taught me, and I should obey it. However, since my lord mother mentioned Princess Changle, for the sake of the royal face and the dignity of the court, I have no choice but to obey." I would like to ask my mother-"

Speaking of this, Xiao Nan straightened his back, looked directly at Zheng Shi, and said word by word: "I see that my mother seems to be slightly ill. If I dare to ask my mother, I should continue to follow you. You have fulfilled the 'womanly way' by your side, or should you come forward according to the rules and etiquette and fulfill the 'filial piety'?"

Zheng choked, what did she say, did she tell Xiao Nan not to be filial?

After thinking about it, Zheng could only insist that Xiao Nan didn't come here to serve her, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, serve? How could I not know? Also, what did you serve me for? Hmm?"

The coldness on Xiao Nan's face suddenly subsided, and he said full of grievances: "Son, I just followed up, and I was about to ask my mother if she was okay, but you, you didn't say anything, and you just-"

Taking out the veil and covering his face, Xiao Nan whimpered and said, "If it's just admonishing my son, I wouldn't dare to argue. But my lord, although my aunt is your in-law, she is also a royal princess. You, you question her, Couldn't it be... I knew that you were slightly ill, so I said nonsense for a while, but others don't know, these words have been passed around, and it's not sure what will happen in the end.

Er is the Cui family's wife, so you must not see the Cui family in trouble, so if you feel that Er is not doing well, just admonish Er, and Er will never complain, but you must not involve other things..."

Xiao Nan's words were extremely ugly, but she set up a premise first, that is, she had to talk back to her mother-in-law not to defend herself, but to help the Cui family avoid disaster.

This made Zheng Shi, who wanted to use his status to suppress others, hear it, but he didn't know how to fight back.

It's not easy for others to interrupt after hearing it.

After all, Mrs. Zheng did say that the eldest princess was uneducated, and Xiao Nan pointed it out again and again. If anyone speaks for Mrs. Zheng, he agrees with Mrs. Zheng, and also questions the upbringing of the princess royal .

In fact, this kind of thing can be big or small, if it is another princess, outsiders may hear it and think that the aristocratic temper of the aristocratic family has committed another offense, just a few jokes.

Even the saints and queens would not care too much if they heard it.

Mrs. Zheng was talking about the eldest daughter of the princess with the best character, the best temper, and the most favored by Li Er and his wife. This, this is a bit troublesome.

Also, if it goes on further, Mrs. Zheng questioned the upbringing of the eldest princess, is she also insinuating that the grandson of a generation of virtuous queens has no upbringing? !

If it really develops to that stage, the Zheng family and even the entire Cui family will become the object of scolding by the world.

Just kidding, Empress Changsun is such a good person, she is reasonable and understands righteousness. Not only the courtiers in the front court praised her, but also the concubines in the harem sincerely supported her, and many beautiful stories about her were circulated among the people.

Even idlers and gangsters in the market would not dare to use a frivolous tone when mentioning this worthy empress, let alone insult her.

Inference like this, the character and rules of the Zheng family and the Cui family are very problematic.

The old lady closed her eyes, sighed silently, and then said loudly: "What Qiao Mu said is that I think the lady's complexion is really not good. Come and wait for the lady to go back to her room to rest."

"Old lady, I..." I'm not sick!
Mrs. Zheng gave Xiao Nan a vicious look, and just about to explain, Cui Ze, who was walking in front, also heard the movement, turned around and said to her in a cold voice: "My lady, I know you have worked hard these days, and now you are not feeling well. , so don’t hold on, it’s better to listen to the old lady and go back to your room and have a good rest.”

Cui Ze's voice was very low, but to Zheng's ears, it sounded like a thunder was ringing in her ears, she closed her mouth in shock, then put on a weak look, and said weakly: "I'm fine, Just, just a little dizzy."

At this time, Liuli and Shanshan, the big maids beside Zheng, came over and supported her to the bedroom in the back hall.

The old lady seemed to have happened, she waved at Xiao Nan, "Qiao Mu, come to me!"

Xiao Nan knew what the old lady meant, it was nothing more than to calm things down.

Well, since today is New Year's Eve, I'll let this go for now.

Xiao Nan secretly made a note in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. After hearing the old lady's call, she first timidly turned her head to look at Cui Youbo who was following behind.

Cui Youbo was also taken aback by Zheng's fury.

Immediately, he thought of the real reason why A Niang was angry, but this had nothing to do with Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan was angered by the Zheng family.

Cui Youbo wanted to understand this, and felt a little sorry for Xiao Nan.

As for Xiao Nan's rebuttal, Cui Youbo didn't think about disobedience or filial piety, instead he felt that what he said was right, she was really thinking about the Cui family.

Seeing Xiao Nan's aggrieved and questioning eyes at this moment, Cui Youbo felt both distressed and hot, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Nan thanked him with a smile, then walked quickly to the old lady, took her arm, and said: "Old lady, be careful of slippery roads."

The old lady patted the back of her hand lightly, and then said to everyone: "Let's go, today is New Year's Eve, let's all go ahead and watch the night. Hehe, have a good night."

Everyone responded one after another, and for a while, the awkward atmosphere was swept away, and everyone started talking and laughing again.

Yao Shi curled her lips, turned her head and said to her daughter: "Hmph, this lady is also a no-brainer, and those who celebrate Chinese New Year are driven back to 'rest', such a person is actually the wife of the Cui family." Village women are still not on the stage.

Cui Xuan, however, was dazzled by Cui Heng's gorgeous attire. She didn't have the heart to gossip with Aunt at this moment, so she echoed her words, and then changed the subject, "Amang, can elder brother really marry the daughter of the princess?" ?”

"Of course, 'over there' said that during the New Year's court meeting on Shuo Ri, the sage will decree to grant a marriage and choose an auspicious day to get married."

'Over there' refers to the Cui family of Sanji, and Cui Sibo has always maintained close contact with Cui Yang.

The marriage of Princess Nanping was also facilitated by Cui Yang.

"Then, will she look down on us then?"

Cui Xuan really didn't want to admit it, but she did have some low self-esteem. Whenever the other little ladies of the Cui family talked about something that she couldn't understand at all, this feeling of inferiority was extremely strong.

After coming to Cui's house, she quarreled with A Niang and played with her temper. The root cause was low self-esteem.

She remembered very clearly that on the first day of living in Hepu Courtyard, seeing so many rare treasures for the first time, she was amazed and at the same time at a loss.

Looking at the clean lichen, she didn't even dare to lift her feet, which made the maids in Hepu courtyard laugh.

In the early morning of the second day, the maid took care of Cui Xuan to wash up. Cui Xuan had never seen those things before, but she thought that the big family was very particular and had to drink a bowl of soup every day before eating, so she put the bath beans in the mouthwash and drank it as tea soup. , After drinking it, I still muttered in my heart, Cui's cook is really poor, and the good bean noodle soup is so spicy.

Cui Xuan didn't know that the bath beans had a lot of medicinal ingredients, which made the taste a bit spicy.

And there is a medicine in it, after Cui Xuan accidentally found out, she was almost so sick that she couldn't eat for three days.

But those maids should be damned too, knowing that she was ugly and not reminding her, they still brought her bath beans and mouthwash every day, and watched her drink the bath beans as tea soup with a smile.

On the fourth day, when Cui Xuan happened to pass by the flower bed next to Chenguang Courtyard, she heard two little maids chattering and laughing.

Suddenly hearing her own name, Cui Xuan hid aside and eavesdropped.

"Hee hee, you little monkey, you are really narrow, to watch her eat shit every day."

"How can there be? She can't get on the stage by herself, and she doesn't even know bath beans. She accidentally drank this 'cure face black and unclean, bath beans wash face recipe', what can I do?"

"Hey, that's right, which poor mountain ditch do you think they crawled out of, and they don't even recognize bath beans?"

"Who knows, it's not a noble person anyway, let's just do our 'duty' to serve him."

Cui Xuan was so angry that she almost jumped out to teach the two maids a lesson.

However, she still had more important things to do, so she ran back to the yard immediately, found Aye, and asked him what was the 'Healing Face Black and Unclean Bath Bean Hand Washing Recipe'.

Aye was not very old when he left Cui's house, he only remembered some important events, so he didn't think about those trivial things.

Just give Cui Xuan a few volumes of prescriptions and let her find the answer by herself.

After searching for a long time, Cui Xuan finally found this recipe in "Bath Beans".

The specific formula is as follows:

"White fresh skin, white silkworm, xiong, white aconite, eagle excrement white, sweet rosin, woody fragrance (three taels each), soil melon root (one tael), white plum meat (three or seven pieces), jujube (thirty taels) pieces), musk (two liang), chicken white (seven pieces), pig pancreas (three pieces), almonds (thirty pieces), white sandalwood, Atractylodes macrocephala, cloves (three liang each), winter melon kernel (five pieces), noodles (three liters).

For the top [-] flavors, first mix noodles with pig pancreas, dry them in the sun, then combine various medicines and mash them into powder, and then use two liters of white bean crumbs to make powder.Once you wash your hands, your face will be as white as snow in ten days, and as thick as fat in thirty days, which is a miracle. "

And Cui Xuan's attention is all on the three words 'Eagle Shibai'.

Eagle shit white?Eagle shit? !eat shit! ! !

Cui Xuan threw up.

Since that day, Cui Xuan has completely changed, using arrogance, brutality and unreasonableness to cover up her inner fragility and inferiority complex.

But no matter how you hide it, the inferiority complex still exists.

Now that the eldest brother is going to marry a princess as his wife, Cui Xuan's long-hidden inferiority complex reappears.

In Cui Xuan's view, the Cui family is just a family of prime ministers, and the servants in the family just look down on them.The princess is much bigger than the prime minister, will she look down on herself? !
"No, you, Aye, said that Princess Nanping vowed to marry a noble family, and our Cui family is the most noble family in the world. She married your elder brother not because of our hard work, but because of her. She chose it for this reason, why should she look down on us."

Yao shi doesn't have enough confidence, but in front of her daughter, she can't say that she is actually worried that she won't be able to deal with the noble wife.

While talking, everyone has come to the courtyard and sat down according to their seniority.

The cooks are also busy, roasting lamb, roasting piglets, mutton copper cauldron... The rich aroma rushes into the nostrils, and the New Year's Eve feast is just beginning.
