The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 143 Is it the shadow of the door or the shadow of the door? (two)

Daoxiangyuan.

"Brother Six, I don't think the atmosphere at home is right. Is there something important?"

Cui Wei hugged a hand stove, and looked at her brother and sister-in-law sitting in the main seat full of thoughts.

"Huh? Little sister, what did you hear?"

Cui Huibo leaned lazily on the hidden pouch, his eyes wandered, his thoughts had already flown to nowhere, when he heard Cui Wei's words, he replied absent-mindedly.

"I stay in Qiwuyuan all day, where can I hear any news."

Seeing that both brothers and sisters-in-law looked relaxed and at ease, Cui Wei was very anxious, and her tone was inevitably a little blunt: "However, look at the house, except for the New Year's Eve vigil last night, it still looks like New Year's Eve. Today is the first day of the New Year. Outside The place is bustling with activity, but our house is eerily quiet, Sixth Brother, Sixth Sister-in-law, don’t you think it’s strange?”

Really the emperor is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch.

Cui Wei had calculated that their brother and sister belonged to the second room of Rongkang Hall, but Cui Run, the head of the family, was not there, and the sixth brother was not qualified to participate in family discussions. If the elders above had any plans, such as separation and adoption, they would not I can't even touch the edge.

From the era of advanced information, Cui Wei is very anxious about the current situation of information occlusion, and is used to the convenient life of "asking Google for foreign affairs and Baidu for internal affairs".

In addition, their brothers and sisters are concubines, and they are not treated by their aunts and brothers, so it is not sure which one to count on in their future life.

If the biological mother is still alive, and she can blow the pillow wind in Aye's ear, at least she can help them plan something.

With no mother and Aye not around, if they don't take care of themselves and get some useful information, they won't know if they are cheated in the future.

It turned out that Cui Wei still wanted to count on the old lady. Even if the sixth brother could not adopt the Rongshou Hall, as long as she got close to the old lady and made the old lady happy and happy, it didn't take much. , enough for the rest of their lives.

"Heh~~, what's so strange about this, today is Shuo Ri, and officials and family members above the fourth rank in Beijing will come to the palace to congratulate, naturally not many people come to pay a visit."

Xiao Liu lowered her head, holding two extremely thin bamboo sticks and a ball of thin cotton thread in her hands, and was skillfully knitting cotton socks.

Hearing what my sister-in-law said, Xiao Liu didn't take it seriously, and sighed again: "My sister-in-law, alas, she looks like a clever person, and she usually has a lot of novel ideas. For example, the cotton socks she made now are also Awei's idea..." But when it comes to some rules and old customs of the family, Awei seems to be a different person, and always asks some weird words.

Well, it seems that she needs to find a reliable old mother to teach her.

Suddenly, Xiao Liu thought of a question, raised her head, looked at Cui Wei carefully, then turned to Cui Huibo, "Liulang, San Niangzi is 19 years old this year, right?"

God, my father and aunt are not here, how could the couple forget such a big thing.

Xiaoliu is the mistress of Daoxiangyuan, and she has neglected her sister-in-law's lifelong affairs. How could Cui Huibo, a grown man, remember that, he stared blankly at the window for a while, still not in a state of mind: "It should be."

Xiaoliu frowned, she wanted to remind her husband to find someone for Cui Wei, but seeing her present, she swallowed the words again.

"Oh," responded, and Xiao Liu changed the subject, saying: "By the way, about your errand, is there any news from uncle?"

Cui Ze promised to get Cui Huibo an errand, which was a condition for 'adopting' Cui Lingshen.

Now that people have got their names, but the errands have not been fulfilled, Xiao Liushi can't help feeling a little anxious.

Cui Wei had just heard Xiao Liushi mention her age, and she didn't think of anything else for a while, let alone thinking that the other party was worried about her marriage--just kidding, in the previous life, eighteen or nineteen years old was the age of youthful willfulness , marriage is still a very distant thing.

At this moment, she heard Mrs. Xiao Liu mention her elder brother's future, and she didn't bother to study why Mrs. Xiao Liu cared about her age, so she hurriedly asked: "Yes, yes, this year has passed, there should be news from the imperial court, right?" ?!"

Cui Huibo finally straightened up, took a bowl of tea soup from the table, took a sip, and said: "Well, uncle said, there are two errands, one is the governor of the Wu Palace, and the second is the seventh-rank lower-rank; the other is the Jin Palace. , is the lower rank of the eighth rank."

Both are errands in the Prince's Mansion, and their grades are not high.But for Cui Huibo, who was over the age and did not participate in the preliminary selection assessment, it was already a back door opened for the sake of the face of Cui Ze, a servant under his sect.

Xiao Liu put down the work in her hands, looked up at her husband, and said seriously: "Which one do you like, Mr. Lang?"

According to common sense, it is natural that the official rank is high.

But Cui Wei, who knew the direction of history, was secretly anxious: Of course, the king of Jin was selected, this is the future big boss, if the sixth brother enters the mansion of the king of Jin at this time, and Li Zhi becomes the throne in the future, he will be an old minister of the mansion, needless to say about his future.

King Wu, King Wu must not be chosen, he is the cannon fodder that was instantly killed by Changsun Wuji, with such a master, not to mention getting promoted and getting rich, it is considered lucky not to be implicated by him.

Just when Cui Wei was anxious to help her elder brother make a choice, Cui Huibo said, "It's the Wu Palace. A few days ago, I have been entertaining the candidates who came to Beijing for the exam in a restaurant, and I made a few talented friends. .

We talked about this issue when we discussed the affairs of the world.Everyone said that King Wu was born of Concubine Yang Gui in the palace. Needless to say, the family background of Hongnong Yang is also a prominent family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and Lady Yang is the princess of the former dynasty. One of the princes. "

Putting down the teacup, Cui Huibo's eyes sparkled, and he continued: "Also, the sage has praised King Wu many times for his intelligence and humility—"

The voice gradually became smaller, and Cui Huibo simply hid the remaining words, but the two women present could guess the meaning - King Wu is talented, and the one who ascends the throne in the future may not be the crown prince.

Although the current prince has no major faults, neither Yang Yong of the previous dynasty nor the hidden prince Li Jiancheng who was killed more than ten years ago have made any major faults. Didn't they get killed by a more capable and tougher brother?

Xiao Liu frowned, her social circle was limited, and she could hear few valuable news.She thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Lang Jun is right."

The Xiaoliu family came from a family, and in her opinion, the change of imperial power did not have much impact on the family.

In the eyes of some officials, Li Ke may be a descendant of the remnants of the previous royal family, and he has absolutely no chance of ascending the throne.In the eyes of the aristocratic families, Li Ke's father's family is the Li family of Longxi, and his mother's family is the Hongnong Yang family. They are both noble noble families and should be the most favorable contenders for the throne.

Therefore, being able to work as an errand in Prince Wu's Mansion is also a good opportunity for investment.

Cui Wei heard her brother and sister-in-law's words getting more and more outrageous, and she was so anxious that she endured and endured, but she couldn't hold back, and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, I think it's better to go to Prince Jin's Mansion."

Cui Huibo and Xiao Liushi looked at Cui Wei together.

After shouting this sentence, Cui Wei gained confidence, "The king of Jin is a descendant."

Cui Huibo was startled, frowned, and said: "But King Jin is young, even if—" The rest of the words can't be explained clearly.

Cui Wei understood that Cui Huibo was only worried that there were several older brothers ahead of Li Zhi, and no matter how he was ranked, he would not be able to rank him.

After thinking for a while, Cui Wei organized her words and said softly: "Brother, although King Jin is young, he is one of the three sons born by the queen. In his bones, he still values ​​his descendants more. Not to mention the virtues of the empress, they are praised all over the court, even for the sake of the empress, the sage will treat the three princes differently."

Speaking of this, Cui Wei felt that the next words were too taboo, so she subconsciously approached her brother and sister-in-law, and said in a low voice: "King Wu is neither the eldest son nor the most talented of all the princes, he is just a concubine. Although the Yang family It is a famous surname, but it has to avoid the former court, which is far less influential than the Changsun family in the court. Brother, think about it, the eldest grandson Situ will allow the princes born by other concubines—"

Cui Huibo's expression changed, he stood up abruptly, and interrupted Cui Wei's words with a wave of his hand.

Xiaoliu was also a little surprised, she looked at Cui Wei fixedly, as if she didn't recognize her, and murmured: "Awei, how do you know this?" As far as she knew, boudoir school doesn't teach these things at all.

And Cui Wei is a boudoir woman, and there is no news channel at all in the inner court all year round.

In the past, Cui Wei helped her come up with a few clever ideas, but Xiao Liu only thought that she was extremely intelligent and ingenious.But, if it involves state affairs, Cui Wei can still talk freely, which is too enchanting.

Cui Wei stared at Cui Huibo, afraid that her elder brother would accidentally choose the wrong path, and the whole family would suffer, so she didn't pay attention to Xiaoliu's suspicious eyes.

Cui Huibo didn't speak, just paced the room with a sullen face.

For a while, the room was silent, except for the breathing and heartbeat of a few people.

After a long time, Cui Huibo stabilized his figure and said to Cui Wei: "Little sister, this matter is very important, you must not tell outsiders."

Cui Wei nodded again and again, "Don't worry, brother, I understand. Then you see—"

A or B?Give me a quick word, okay?
Cui Huibo shook his head, and said hesitantly, "I'll discuss it with him when uncle comes back."

Conglong Zhigong was very tempting, but Cui Huibo was used to being cautious, and did not dare to make a decision lightly.

……

In the afternoon, Xiao Nan left the Princess Mansion.

Xu Shi told the Eldest Princess what was on her mind, and perhaps the Eldest Princess' reprimand had an effect on her. In the bullock cart on the return journey, Xiao Nan was in a good mood, and he was already in the mood to open the curtains to look at the scenery on the street.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the whole capital is bustling with people visiting relatives, visiting friends, and watching lion dances and playing a variety of operas on the street. It's songs and laughter, gongs and drums.

"Princess, do you want to stop and find a wine shop or tea house for a while?"

Seeing that Xiao Nan finally had a smile on her face, Qin's mother let go of the stone hanging in her heart, and suggested in a playful way.

"No, Lingxi is still at home, I want to go back quickly,"

Xiao Nan shook her head, casually looking at the noisy crowd on the street, but suddenly she saw a few familiar figures, and she became suspicious: "Huh? Isn't this Mr. Cui Qilang, why did he get mixed up with him?!"
