The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 144 Is it the shadow of the door or the shadow of the door ([-])
Cui Yabo and Cui Dezhi?
How did the two of them get together and still look so close?

Xiao Nan put down the cotton-padded car curtains, took the tea soup offered by Qin's mother, warmed his hands with the warm tea cup, and thought hard.

It wasn't that she made a big fuss, Cui Dezhi was bestowed the surname Cui by the Cui family thanks to his adoptive father, but that didn't mean that the gentlemen of the Cui family were willing to treat him as their own.

In the eyes of the Cui family's masters, there is nothing special about the trilogy given the surname. After all, they are still the servants of the Cui family, but their names are nicer.

Cui Yabo is the heir apparent of the Three Households and Eight Classics, and he has passed the selection process and successfully joined the Zuoqianniuwei of the Sixteen Guards of Nanya, officially promoted to the official position, far better than Bai Ding's other Cui family gentlemen many.

Correspondingly, Cui Yabo's future is promising, and his arrogance is also known.

Although on the surface, Cui Yabo is still the same as in the past, he is kind to all brothers, but his temperament has faintly changed, especially when talking to two or three brothers who have no official position A condescending sense of superiority.

This is true for his own brothers, let alone Cui Dezhi who was born in a trilogy.

However, at this moment, they were riding side by side in an extremely casual manner, and it seemed that the two did not meet by chance on the street, but rather like a pre-arranged party.

Of course, from the perspective of officialdom, Mr. Cui Qilang joined Qianniuwei, and Cui Dezhi took advantage of Xue Li's light to join the guard of the prison.

It's just that the Cui family is a gentry family, and members of aristocratic families like Cui Yabo have a natural habit of looking down on poor families. To put it bluntly, colleagues who are out of reach, even when facing their immediate superiors, they will also behave very arrogantly.

And Xiao Nan looked carefully just now, Cui Yabo was very gentle towards Cui Dezhi, his expression did not seem to be fake.

Unable to figure it out, Xiao Nan took a sip of the jujube tea and couldn't think of the possibility of cooperation between the two.

The ox cart slowly drove into Cui Qu in Qinrenfang.

Back at Cui's house, Xiao Nan first sent someone to pay his respects to the old lady and the eldest lady, and rushed back to Chenguangyuan by himself.

Xiao Nan didn't see Lingxi for most of the day, she just felt that there was nothing left in her heart, she didn't want to delay for a moment, she just wanted to see her daughter right away.

Walking quickly into the main room, Xiao Nan saw that the nurse was holding Lingxi sitting on the floor covered with thick lichen, while Cui Youbo was playing with the hollowed-out silver balls with his daughter.

Hearing his daughter's cry, Xiao Nan's tense heartstrings finally relaxed, he went to the inner room to change the gown, and ordered Yulan to take off the golden hairpin for her, and tied a homely bun again, After choosing a simple red gold phoenix hairpin, he returned to the main hall.

Cui Youbo was thinking about what happened last night, he was absent-minded to tease the children, so naturally he didn't pay attention to Xiao Nan who was coming and going.

When Xiao Nan walked in, Cui Youbo was in a daze holding the gold-painted hollow ball, his eyes fixed on a certain corner of the room, and his thoughts flew to nowhere.

As for Lingxi's children's shoes, they still don't know how to recognize people.

However, she is more interested in brightly colored, moving objects.

When the golden ball that had been shaking in front of her stopped moving, the little guy was attracted by Xiao Nan who was walking back and forth again. His big round eyes focused on following Xiao Nan's figure. Finally, seeing her getting closer and closer to him, As it got closer, the little guy was very excited, holding up his little fist and babbling.

Fang's back was always facing the door, so he didn't see Xiao Nan.

Now I was very excited to see Lingxi, and heard the sound of Xingxisuo, knowing that someone had come in, I hurriedly turned my head and saw that it was Xiao Nan, who was about to stand up and salute, but Xiao Nan waved his hand to stop him.

"give it to me."

Xiao Nan opened his hands, hugged the chubby little girl with a smile, seeing the cute little guy muttering something, Xiao Nan loved it so much, he kissed his daughter's apple face twice .

Although Lingxi's friend is young, she is very sensitive. She can clearly feel the joy of her mother, and she becomes more excited, screaming.

Hearing his daughter's cry, Cui Youbo habitually shook the ball in his hand, but unexpectedly saw Xiao Nan.

"Lady, when did you come back? I, I didn't find out?"

"Hehe, just came back, sir, what are you thinking? So focused?"

Xiao Nan hugged his daughter, and sat cross-legged beside Cui Youbo, while patting and coaxing her gently, he asked softly.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that I was a little sleepy last night."

Cui Youbo seemed to be deliberately avoiding this question, his expression was very unnatural, and when he spoke, he seemed to lack a bit of confidence.

Xiao Nan was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject and briefly explained what happened when he entered the palace today.

Cui Youbo hides his thoughts, how can he listen to these trifles now?
But he was worried that Xiao Nan would notice his abnormality, so he pretended to stretch and lay down on the floor.

Fortunately, when the Chenguang Courtyard was rebuilt, Xiao Nan specially ordered people to turn on floor heating in the main hall, side rooms and side rooms. Although it is cold and windy outside, the interior is as warm as spring, and the floor is even warmer. People lying on it, Didn't feel cold at all.

The more Xiao Nan looked at Uncle Cui, the more something was wrong. It seemed that this guy had been preoccupied since he finished worshiping the ancestral hall last night.

However, last night the whole family stayed vigil in the middle courtyard of Rongkang Hall, and Xiao Nan rushed to the palace to congratulate him early this morning, so he didn't have a chance to talk with Cui Youbo in detail, so naturally he didn't know what he was worried about.

But, talking about it now, it seems that he won't talk about it.

Xiao Nan had a premonition that Cui Youbo was deliberately hiding something from her.

Many thoughts flashed in his mind, Xiao Nan thought for a while, and finally decided to get down to business first.

Others...she has other sources of news, even if Cui Youbo didn't tell her, someone else told her.

"By the way, sir, after I left the palace, I went back to the princess mansion again."

Xiao Nan organized the language, and first laid the groundwork.

It's just that Cui Youbo's spirit was very out of state, and he just let out a casual 'oh' after hearing Xiao Nan's words, and then he didn't continue.

Xiao Nan was angry, seeing him lying on the ground in a daze, suddenly remembered something, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she put her daughter on Uncle Cui's thin chest.

Cui Youbo was taken aback, he stood upright stiffly, not daring to raise his arms, just staring blankly at his daughter who was prostrate on his chest.

Little Lingxi was obviously not used to it. After all, her father's small body was a little thinner, and lying on him was far less comfortable than crawling on the lichen.

However, the little guy didn't cry, just like Cui Youbo, staring straight at Cui Youbo with big round eyes.

The father and daughter just stared at each other.

Gudong!

Cui Youbo swallowed his saliva nervously, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of accidentally throwing his daughter down.

"Mother, lady, put, put—"

Xiao Nan interrupted him, "It is said in the ancient books that when the baby is two months old, let her lie down more, this will make her grow healthier."

When Cui Youbo heard that it was said in an 'ancient book', he stopped talking and continued to stare at his daughter.

He didn't dare to move, but Xiao Lingxi didn't understand what "fear" was. She stared at her father for a long time, and almost took her big moist eyes as cross-eyed.Finally, the little girl got tired of watching, and waved her little fist, babbling and drooling as she moved forward.

Of course, judging by the current age, Xiao Lingxi can't move by herself, but just rubs and rubs against Cui Youbo's chest like a little worm.

"Miss-"

Cui Youbo felt that his body was numb, but his daughter was still moving around there, his heart beat faster in fright, and he almost couldn't help turning over.

Seeing that Cui Youbo really couldn't stand it anymore, Xiao Nan kindly hugged his daughter up again.

Cui Youbo heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiao Nan didn't seem to notice it, and continued to laugh: "What did you say? Oh, yes, when I returned to the Princess Mansion, Aye and Eldest Brother were angry."

Cui Youbo didn't dare to be distracted now, and hurriedly asked: "Why?"

Xiao Nandao: "Well, it's not that those dandies in the capital are not up to date, they spend all day fighting horses and dogs, but they don't know how to study hard... The scholars who entered the Imperial Academy at the gate of the Imperial College were not as good as those scholars in the spring of last year. If you do well in the exam, the saint is very worried..."

Cui Youbo nodded. His eldest brother is the secretary of the Imperial Academy, that is, the second in command of the Imperial Academy, so he knows the current situation of the Imperial Academy very well.

Guozijian is the current central school, which consists of six schools: Guozixue, Taixue, Simenxue, Law, Calligraphy, and Mathematics.

The students of Guozijian are the children of noble officials.

According to the degree of emphasis on the six studies, the specific requirements are also different.

Among them, Guozixue can only be entered by the children of officials with a civil and military rank of three or more.

However, Taixue and Simenxue can only be entered by the children of officials of the fifth grade or above.

As for calligraphy, law, and arithmetic, the requirements are the lowest, and the children of officials below the eighth rank and the sons of common people who are proficient in these subjects can enter.

In addition, there are also requirements for the age of the students. In the Six Schools, except for those who are over the age of law and under the age of 25, all other schools require the age of 14 and under to enter.

Although the requirements and restrictions are different, the essence of Guozijian is the stepping stone for the children of nobles to become officials.

The particularity of their family background makes the students of Guozijian not as hard-working as those students from poor families.

"'Jinshi is deeply ashamed of the two prisons'. Aye said that the Jiachen Jinshi Department is about to start. I hope that the scholars of the Guozijian can live up to it, and at least earn face for the court and the saint."

Xiao Nan said, looking down at his daughter who was getting tired, he hugged her sideways, shook her gently, and lowered his voice a bit.

"Father-in-law is right. The sons of the aristocratic family should also show a good performance to the humble sons, so that the world can know that our sons of the noble family are not only noble and versatile, but also not afraid of the imperial examination."

Cui Youbo was so angry at Xiao Nan's words, he punched his left hand with his right hand, and then remembered something, and said a little discouraged: "Oh, it's a pity that I'm over the age."

It's a pity, although Cui Youbo is confident to pass the Jinshi examination, but he is already twenty years old, which exceeds the age limit of Guozixue.

Xiao Nan said with a smile: "Mr. Lang, there is more than one Imperial College in the capital..."

PS: Well, this is to make up for yesterday, a certain Sa continues to code and try to make up for what is owed!
