The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman
Chapter 193 The Little Merchants 7
Chapter 193 The Prostitute Little Seven ([-])
In the dark night, in the dense forest, the bone-piercing cold wind blows, only the branches shake and the leaves rustle.
Under the hazy moonlight, a vigorous figure shuttled through the forest, his footsteps were very light, covered by the sound of the branches and leaves rubbing against each other.
"Huh, this place is really a bit strange."
The figure stopped behind a rock, adjusted its somewhat chaotic breath, looked up at Xingdou, determined the direction below, and after making sure that he had not gone the wrong way, he carefully observed the surrounding scenery.
Right now it is early spring and March, the trees, flowers and plants are revived, and the branches are already covered with dots of green.But it is definitely not as lush and leafy as it is in front of you, like a midsummer.
Dou Huailin was wearing a black fur coat with one hand, and pressed the other hand on the hilt of the sword around his waist, always guarding against the hidden enemies around him.
At first, when the sage gave him a secret order to visit Xiaonan Mountain at night, he still felt a little disapproving—an immortal?Are you kidding me?How can there be any ghosts and gods in this world?
Dou Huailin is not a scholar, so naturally he doesn't practice the idea of 'no words, no words, no strange powers, no gods'.
He is a member of the Habayashi Army, he can be regarded as a soldier. Although he has not galloped on the battlefield, he has killed people with his own hands and has blood on his hands.
spirits?Hmph, if there really are ghosts in the world, then why don't the people he killed turn into ghosts to seek revenge from him?
It can be seen that the so-called ghosts and gods and the so-called gods are nothing but boring legends fabricated by poor literati in their spare time.
But when Dou Huailin stood in this mountain forest that was contrary to the law of natural growth, his persistence wavered a little. What is so strange here that it can make the fruit trees evergreen all the year round.
As a saint's mother family, the Dou family also received rewards from the palace during the Chinese New Year. As one of the most outstanding nephews of the Dou family, Dou Huailin was also fortunate to taste the spiritual fruit that is said to be able to live and die.
To be honest, the taste of the fruit is indeed better than what I usually eat, but the efficacy... Dou Huailin expressed doubts.
However, there are rumors in the world, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the place: Today, it is said that Wei Shaoshi was still hanging on his breath yesterday, and after eating the fruit rewarded by the sage, he ran away staggeringly Went to the palace to quarrel with the saint; Minger said that the eldest princess is over 40 years old, and the imperial doctor said that there is no possibility of having children, but after eating the fruit, the old clam gave birth to pearls, and there are again; Hou'er also said that Concubine Yang Gui in the palace was about to die, and the empress was kind enough to give her her own fruit to eat. As a result, hey, the imperial doctor said that Concubine Yang Gui could still live to see Princess Nanping get married... …
In a word, that fruit is a life-saving panacea.
As for Dou Huailin, as the general guarding Xiaonanshan, his pressure is really greater than the mountain.
Today there is another secret order to find the traces of the gods, and Dou Huailin is one of the first two.
Looking around, Dou Huailin took a deep breath and walked towards the legendary 'Dongfu'.
"Who is here? How dare you break into my cave?"
Dou Huailin didn't take a few steps, when suddenly there was a shout from mid-air, he hurriedly turned his head to look around, his hand on the hilt held the sword firmly, ready to fight at any time.
"Don't look around, it's you, the kid in black!"
The voice seemed to be floating in the mid-air, and it seemed to be in the depths of the mountain forest. Even though Dou Huailin possessed martial arts skills and clever eyes and ears, he couldn't find the location of the voice for a while.
Gudong swallowed his saliva, Dou Huailin walked in the direction of the cave, and said in a deep voice: "A certain Dou Huailin, lost his way in the middle of the night, strayed into your place, and still hope—"
Before the words were finished, there was a strange laughter in the air, "By mistake? Hmph, what a mistake, I just ask you, if you mistakenly entered my cave, why did you still carry my Taoist yin and yang?" Mirror?" Are you warding off evil spirits, evil spirits, or evil spirits?
As soon as the voice fell, there was a search sound, and the gossip bronze mirror hanging on Dou Huailin's waist was cut off by the string, and fell to the ground with a ding dong.
At this time, Dou Huailin felt deep fear. Even if this person is not a god, he is also a peerless expert with extremely high martial arts. When he was full of vigilance, he silently cut off his body. If a person wants his life, it is only a matter of an instant.
"The old god forgives the sin, but Li Zi has nothing to do with it. I hope the old god will forgive me."
Saying that, Dou Huailin sighed deeply again.
It's a pity that what responded to him was the rustling of leaves, and the voice in midair seemed to disappear.
Dou Huailin bent over, still maintaining a posture of saluting, but his eyes were wandering around.
At this time, the voice sounded again, "Don't look for it anymore, I don't want to see people in the world, so how can I let you see your true face. However, I think you are a persistent person. It’s easy to do errands, I’ll ask my mount to say a few words to you, and then let it deliver something to the master behind you, so that he won’t always be thinking about my cave.”
Dou Huailin was terrified, he wasn't frightened by that talking mount, but he never thought that this mysterious person would guess that his second visit was at the master's will.Could it be that he is really a god?
Just when Dou Huailin was thinking wildly, there was a tremor in the dense forest beside him. He hurriedly collected his mind and listened carefully, "Huh? There are footsteps? It seems to be the sound of wild animals? Could there be wild animals here?"
Without hesitation, Dou Huailin drew out his sword with a clang and placed it in front of him, carefully staring at the swaying forest.
After a while, a strong old cow slowly walked out of the dark forest, with a cloth bag hanging on its hill-like back, walking towards Dou Huailin flickeringly.
"you you--"
It's not that Dou Huailin has never seen a yellow ox, but it is rare to see such a strong one. This is not a cow, it is clearly a yellow meat mountain with a moving head.
The ox stopped in its tracks, staring straight at Dou Huailin with its big ox eyes. Suddenly, a scene that overturned Dou Huailin's cognition for more than [-] years appeared. The ox opened its mouth and spit out human words: "Zizi, Feng The decree of the old fairy, here are a few words for you: first, remember the agreement between the old fairy and Mrs. Xue, and don’t allow ordinary people to break into the mountains, otherwise the old fairy will strike here with a scorched thunder; Master, it is because of his hard work and love for the people that he can eat the immortal fruits and vegetables, if he is not greedy enough, don't blame the old immortal for showing his power, and let him fly out of his mind in advance."
His voice was very hoarse and thick, if he didn't look at the cow in front of him, Dou Huailin would think that the person speaking was an old man who had gone through many vicissitudes.
After hearing the voice of the scalper, he was even more astonished. This man, oh no, this cow, seemed to know that the master behind him was a saint.How is this possible? Even the empress doesn't know about the saint's secret order to visit Xiaonan Mountain at night. How does the cow in front of me, oh no, more precisely, the mysterious person who has never shown up knows?Unless, he, is he really a god? !
As if he could read minds, the old cow blinked his big eyes like copper bells, and said in a deep voice: "Of course the old god is a god, so don't be suspicious. Come, give these things to the master behind you, and tell him , you are not allowed to send people to spy on this place in the future. If you don't follow, the old god will cast a spell to change the fate of the Tang Dynasty. Hmph, do you want the Li family to prosper and prosper, or do you want women with foreign surnames to usurp power and change the dynasty? in one thought."
Dou Huailin's heart was pounding violently, my God, what shocking secrets did he hear?National luck?usurped power?Or a woman usurping power?
Can he listen to these, dare to listen to them, dare to convey them?
Dou Huailin really wanted to die and forget about it, even if he had the guts to say so many rebellious words, he would not dare to tell the saint.
The old cow seemed to have heard Dou Huailin's voice, it shook its body, dropped the cloth bag on its back on the ground, and solemnly said to Dou Huailin: "Remember, tell the master behind you exactly what I said. With this package, if you miss a single word, I will definitely not forgive you!"
As soon as the words fell, the old cow turned its head and walked slowly towards the way it came.
Dou Huailin watched the old cow go away, and when there was no sound around him, he let out a long sigh of relief, put the sword into its sheath, and raised his hand to touch the sweat on his forehead. Only then did he realize that in the cold spring of March, he He was sweating profusely, his back was soaked with sweat, and his underwear was completely soaked.
With stiff steps, Dou Huailin walked carefully to the edge of the cloth bag. It was a one-foot-square indigo cloth bag with the opening open, revealing a yellow-green thing.Dou Huailin squatted down and pulled out the thing, it was nothing but an old scroll of bamboo slips, judging from its appearance, it was hundreds of years old at least.
Enduring the curiosity in his heart, Dou Huailin did not open the bamboo slips to check, but carefully put it back into the cloth bag, and put the cloth bag in his sleeve pocket properly.He picked up the cloth bag, only to find that the yin and yang mirror hanging around his waist was placed on the ground, only half of the hanging rope remained, and the incision was neat, as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon.
Dou Huailin picked up the yin and yang mirror, and searched around for a long time, but couldn't find that 'sharp weapon'.
Finally, he finally raised his body, sighed a long time, and secretly guessed that the mysterious person probably used 'qi' to cut off the yin and yang mirror, or the same sentence, even if this person is not a god, he must be very skilled The peerless expert.
After this encounter, Dou Huailin didn't dare to go further in, turned around and walked down the mountain disgruntled.He didn't notice that there was an extremely inconspicuous copper coin stuck on a tree trunk not far from him. The edges of the copper coin were all sharpened, and most of the copper coin was easily inserted into the tree trunk.Not to mention the late night under the dim moonlight, even in broad daylight, it is not easy to find the copper coin.
Dou Huailin didn't even notice that just when his figure was submerged in the dense forest, a blue parrot flew down from a tall tree...
After finally dismissing Dou Huailin who was visiting Xiaonan Mountain at night, Xiao Nan heaved a long sigh of relief.
The next day, Cui Ba came back from the study in the atrium. On the surface, he came back late at night, worried that his wife and daughter would be disturbed, so he made do with the night in the study.But in fact, he was the one who drank some wine and became dizzy. At the same time, the charming and beautiful concubine Fei Yi came to serve tea and water. On a whim, he hugged the concubine and rolled the sheets.
Seeing Cui Ba's coy look, Xiao Nan really wanted to say, dear, don't be so entangled, you can have sex with whoever you like, we don't care, okay? !
Of course, rationality told Xiao Nan that she absolutely couldn't say that.
With a slight smile, Xiao Nan ordered his servants to go to court for food.
Seeing Xiao Nan being so generous and virtuous, Cui Ba rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and sat on the right side of Xiao Nan, and the husband and wife ate together.
After eating the morning food, Cui Ba sipped the tea soup and said, "Wei Lang was unwell yesterday, brother Jun Zhi and I were very worried, so we wanted to go see him again today."
Xiao Nan nodded, "It should be. Wei Junma is your friend. If your friend is ill, you should go. Hehe, I still have to chat with the old lady today, otherwise I should go to visit with you. Anyway, He is also my relative."
Saying that, Xiao Nan winked at Yuzan.
Yuhan understood, turned and went outside, and after a while, came in with a lacquer box.
"These are fresh fruits and vegetables from my village. They are not worth anything. It's my kindness to bring them to Jun Wei."
Xiao Nan tapped the lacquer box, and Yuzan had already placed the lacquer box on the long table in front of Cui Ba, and opened the lid casually, revealing a few golden kumquats.The appearance of kumquats is very good, and it makes people mouth water just looking at them.
Cui Ba nodded awkwardly, "My lady is more thoughtful, I, I will definitely give this thing to Wei Lang."
Knowing that Cui Bayan was insincere, Xiao Nan still pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is not an important matter, why are you so serious about it. By the way, if you see Princess Antong, you will also represent him. I said hello to her and said that I didn't entertain the polo game well yesterday, and I hope she won't take offense."
Cui Bayue felt more and more embarrassed when he heard it. At the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly got up, "Okay, lady, don't worry, as long as I see the princess, I will definitely tell her what she said. Take good care of the lady at home." A Yuan, I'm going."
Almost fleeing, Cui Ba came out of the main hall in a panic, even forgetting to take the lacquer box.
Of course Xiao Nan would never forget this, so he ordered people to bring a lacquer box to chase Cui Ba.
After some fuss, Xiao Nan picked up the teacup leisurely, and said casually, "Yuzhu, do you believe it?"
Yu Zhu understood the meaning of the nonsensical sentence, after a little thought, she quickly bowed and said with a smile: "If the Princess believes it, the maid will believe it."
Besides, isn't the lice on the bald man's head obvious? Cui Ba didn't go to the county horse mansion to visit Wei Yuan, but he was obviously a gangster who went to the outer house to fool around.
"Hehe, I still believe it!"
Xiao Nan laughed hard, but the smile didn't extend to her eyes, on the contrary, her eyes were full of sadness and despair—oh, this man is really speechless.Whenever she raises a little bit of hope, he will always snuff it out for her in good time.
Transforming scumbags is a long way to go.
After drinking the tea soup, Xiao Nan tidied up his clothes, hugged his daughter, and led a group of maids and servants towards Rongshou Hall.
When I came to Rongshou Hall, the old lady had just finished her morning meal and was drinking tea and listening to Buddhist scriptures in the conservatory.
This time, it was not Cui Wei who read Buddhist scriptures to the old lady, but Cui Heng, the fourth lady.
Cui Heng's voice is not pleasant, but it is also soft and steady, just like her character, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease.
"Qiao Mu is here, yo, our baby A Yuan is also here."
The old lady opened her eyes when she heard the announcement, and happened to see Xiao Nan walking in with a tender little meat ball in her arms, she immediately smiled, and reached out to hug the little guy.
This is not the first time for Cui Lingxi to see the old lady. She blinked her big black eyes, and twisted her two little fleshy claws, as if she was thinking about who the kind-hearted old lady in front of her was.After hearing the old lady's voice, she seemed to recall something, and she fell towards the old lady with her little hands open.
"Oh, my little chubby girl, you are so cute, do you still remember the ancestor?"
Lingxi is the fourth generation of the Cui family. The old lady has a special status. If it is really difficult to call her according to her seniority, it is too wordy. Xiao Nan simply pointed to the old lady and told Lingxi, "This is the ancestor, A Yuan, You have to grow up quickly and be filial to your ancestors when you grow up, you know?"
Lingxi is only four months old, how can she understand these things, but seeing A Niang and the old woman in front of her smiling kindly, she also followed suit and laughed strangely.
"Ah-"
Lingxi continued drooling and screaming strangely, but the two chubby hands grabbed the red agate bracelet on the old lady's wrist.
The old lady saw that the girl was fat and cute, and she really liked it. She put her arm around Lingxi, and freed up her other hand to let the servant girl take off the bracelet, and dangled it in front of Xiao Lingxi, "Does A Yuan like it? Hehe, If you like it, the ancestor will give it to you, this is what the ancestor's aunt left for the ancestor!"
"what!"
Lingxi can't speak, but she moves very quickly. Two little fat claws slammed onto the old lady's hand holding the bracelet, and her little hands held the bracelet tightly and pulled it into her arms, pulling back and forth, what does that mean? As if to say, "I want it, give it to me!"
It only made the old lady laugh, stuffed the bracelet into Lingxi's arms, and lightly poked her tender forehead with her finger, "You, you are really a little money fan."
Xiao Nan saw that although the bracelet was not a very expensive item, it was more expensive because of the meaning it represented, listen to what the old lady just said, it was left to her by her aunt, it has important commemorative value.He hurriedly leaned over and said to the old lady: "Old lady, Ah Yuan is still young, she can lose such a precious bracelet in a while, so you should keep it. Hehe, when we Ah Yuan grows up, you will lose it in a while. Reward her."
The old lady didn't care, she lowered her head to tease A Yuan, and said casually: "She is young, the mother and maid beside her are still young, there are people who clean up around, so we can still lose things in our house? When you grow up, A Yuan grows up." , I’ll give her something else. Hehe, Ah Yuan, be obedient in the future, the ancestors have a lot of treasures here.”
Lingxi didn't understand what the old lady meant at all, but this didn't prevent her from being happy, she was holding the bracelet with great effort, and yelled at Xiao Nan, looking at it, she seemed to ask Xiao Nan to put it away for her.
The old lady was overjoyed when she saw her, "Oh, you're a little older, so you know how to give things to Mommy?"
Mother Qian at the side saw that the old lady was happy, and hurriedly followed suit, "This is our little lady who is filial and knows how to give good things to the elders. Don't be greedy, old lady, when the little lady gets something from the side, she will definitely give it to her." Here you are."
The old lady laughed when she heard the words, and Cui Heng, who was sitting under the low couch, also pursed her lips and smiled slightly.Unlike Cui Wei, when she saw the old lady giving valuable things to a little moon child who didn't understand anything, she didn't show any dissatisfaction, jealousy or other expressions, but smiled lightly, as if the old lady You should reward Lingxi with something.
Xiao Nan and Cui Heng greeted each other, then sat beside Cui Heng, chatting with the old lady.
Cui Heng has good eyesight, she saw that Xiao Nan had something to say to the old lady, so she found an excuse and got up to leave.
"How was the polo match yesterday? Nothing happened to the three ladies, right?"
Although the old lady had already known what happened yesterday from others, following the rules, she still asked Xiao Nan again.
Xiao Nan handed the bracelet to Yuzan next to him, and winked the others back.
Seeing this, the old lady would be happy to let the maids go out, leaving only two capable people, Mama Qiu and Mama Qian.
Xiao Nan said: "It's all because Qiao Mu is useless, no, I didn't take good care of my third sister..."
Xiao Nan reported yesterday's incident to the old lady in detail, and finally said with some helplessness: "Old lady, it's not that Qiao Mu is lazy and doesn't want to help you share your worries. The third younger sister should send a few old mothers to teach them the rules. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, it’s hard to say about her marriage, and it will implicate the other daughters of the Cui family.”
The old lady's face sank like water, although she still stretched out her hand to tease Lingxi, but the momentum of her whole body had changed, making Xiao Nan, who was in the greenhouse, feel a chilly feeling.
The little Lingxi also felt it, no longer babbling like before, but biting her little fleshy paw very obediently, honestly 'listening' to the conversation between the ancestor and A Niang.
"Well, I understand what you mean." The old lady was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "Erlang (referring to Cui Run) and his wife are not in Beijing. Although Liulang (referring to Cui Huibo) is the elder brother, he is younger after all. How can I take good care of my younger sister if I can't handle my affairs satisfactorily."
After thinking for a while, the old lady turned her head and said to Qiu's mother: "Go find two old mothers, preferably the old people of our Cui family, and let them go to Qiwuyuan to teach San Niangzi well. If she still doesn't accept If you want to teach, then go to Changshoufang, I remember there is a nunnery called Ganye Temple or Gratitude Temple.”
"Thanksgiving Temple!" Qiu's mother hurriedly reminded.
"Well, it's the Thanksgiving Temple. I heard that the rules there are very strict. Many family members of officials and eunuchs in Beijing like to go there to recuperate."
Xiao Nan laughed to himself, the old lady said that against her will, what is meant by 'all like to go', she was obviously pressured to go.Under normal circumstances, only female relatives who are not well-disciplined at home are forced to be sent to a nunnery for rest.It's as if his own child can't be disciplined harshly, so he can only hand it over to a compulsory institution to let others help manage the child.
Xiao Nan believes that as long as Mother Qiu tells Cui Wei where the Thanksgiving Temple is, she will be honest for a long time.
After chatting with the old lady for a while, Xiao Nan left a list, all of which were young and handsome men whom she had met and confirmed to be in good condition. This is also the best future husband she helped those sisters-in-law find out. .
After submitting the list, most of the tasks assigned to her by the old lady have been completed, and the rest is for the old lady to choose and make a decision, which has nothing to do with Xiao Nan.
Therefore, Xiao Nan also had time to sort out his private treasury, and packed out some porcelain, gold and silverware and lacquerware that were not used in daily life. Alas, there is still a profiteer waiting to trade with her in Taoyuan.

In the dark night, in the dense forest, the bone-piercing cold wind blows, only the branches shake and the leaves rustle.

It was a one-foot-square indigo cloth bag with the opening open, revealing a yellow-green thing.Dou Huailin squatted down and pulled out the thing, it was nothing but an old scroll of bamboo slips, judging from its appearance, it was hundreds of years old at least.
Enduring the curiosity in his heart, Dou Huailin did not open the bamboo slips to check, but carefully put it back into the cloth bag, and put the cloth bag in his sleeve pocket properly.He picked up the cloth bag, only to find that the yin and yang mirror hanging around his waist was placed on the ground, only half of the hanging rope remained, and the incision was neat, as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon.
Dou Huailin picked up the yin and yang mirror, and searched around for a long time, but couldn't find that 'sharp weapon'.
Finally, he finally raised his body, sighed a long time, and secretly guessed that the mysterious person probably used 'qi' to cut off the yin and yang mirror, or the same sentence, even if this person is not a god, he must be very skilled The peerless expert.
After this encounter, Dou Huailin didn't dare to go further in, turned around and walked down the mountain disgruntled.He didn't notice that there was an extremely inconspicuous copper coin stuck on a tree trunk not far from him. The edges of the copper coin were all sharpened, and most of the copper coin was easily inserted into the tree trunk.Not to mention the late night under the dim moonlight, even in broad daylight, it is not easy to find the copper coin.
Dou Huailin didn't even notice that just when his figure was submerged in the dense forest, a blue parrot flew down from a tall tree...
After finally dismissing Dou Huailin who was visiting Xiaonan Mountain at night, Xiao Nan heaved a long sigh of relief.
The next day, Cui Ba came back from the study in the atrium. On the surface, he came back late at night, worried that his wife and daughter would be disturbed, so he made do with the night in the study.But in fact, he was the one who drank some wine and became dizzy. At the same time, the charming and beautiful concubine Fei Yi came to serve tea and water. On a whim, he hugged the concubine and rolled the sheets.
Seeing Cui Ba's coy look, Xiao Nan really wanted to say, dear, don't be so entangled, you can have sex with whoever you like, we don't care, okay? !
Of course, rationality told Xiao Nan that she absolutely couldn't say that.
With a slight smile, Xiao Nan ordered his servants to go to court for food.
Seeing Xiao Nan being so generous and virtuous, Cui Ba rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and sat on the right side of Xiao Nan, and the husband and wife ate together.
After eating the morning food, Cui Ba sipped the tea soup and said, "Wei Lang was unwell yesterday, brother Jun Zhi and I were very worried, so we wanted to go see him again today."
Xiao Nan nodded, "It should be. Wei Junma is your friend. If your friend is ill, you should go. Hehe, I still have to chat with the old lady today, otherwise I should go to visit with you. Anyway, He is also my relative."
Saying that, Xiao Nan winked at Yuzan.
Yuhan understood, turned and went outside, and after a while, came in with a lacquer box.
"These are fresh fruits and vegetables from my village. They are not worth anything. It's my kindness to bring them to Jun Wei."
Xiao Nan tapped the lacquer box, and Yuzan had already placed the lacquer box on the long table in front of Cui Ba, and opened the lid casually, revealing a few golden kumquats.The appearance of kumquats is very good, and it makes people mouth water just looking at them.
Cui Ba nodded awkwardly, "My lady is more thoughtful, I, I will definitely give this thing to Wei Lang."
Knowing that Cui Bayan was insincere, Xiao Nan still pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is not an important matter, why are you so serious about it. By the way, if you see Princess Antong, you will also represent him. I said hello to her and said that I didn't entertain the polo game well yesterday, and I hope she won't take offense."
Cui Bayue felt more and more embarrassed when he heard it. At the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly got up, "Okay, lady, don't worry, as long as I see the princess, I will definitely tell her what she said. Take good care of the lady at home." A Yuan, I'm going."
Almost fleeing, Cui Ba came out of the main hall in a panic, even forgetting to take the lacquer box.
Of course Xiao Nan would never forget this, so he ordered people to bring a lacquer box to chase Cui Ba.
After some fuss, Xiao Nan picked up the teacup leisurely, and said casually, "Yuzhu, do you believe it?"
Yu Zhu understood the meaning of the nonsensical sentence, after a little thought, she quickly bowed and said with a smile: "If the Princess believes it, the maid will believe it."
Besides, isn't the lice on the bald man's head obvious? Cui Ba didn't go to the county horse mansion to visit Wei Yuan, but he was obviously a gangster who went to the outer house to fool around.
"Hehe, I still believe it!"
Xiao Nan laughed hard, but the smile didn't extend to her eyes, on the contrary, her eyes were full of sadness and despair—oh, this man is really speechless.Whenever she raises a little bit of hope, he will always snuff it out for her in good time.
Transforming scumbags is a long way to go.
After drinking the tea soup, Xiao Nan tidied up his clothes, hugged his daughter, and led a group of maids and servants towards Rongshou Hall.
When I came to Rongshou Hall, the old lady had just finished her morning meal and was drinking tea and listening to Buddhist scriptures in the conservatory.
This time, it was not Cui Wei who read Buddhist scriptures to the old lady, but Cui Heng, the fourth lady.
Cui Heng's voice is not pleasant, but it is also soft and steady, just like her character, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease.
"Qiao Mu is here, yo, our baby A Yuan is also here."
The old lady opened her eyes when she heard the announcement, and happened to see Xiao Nan walking in with a tender little meat ball in her arms, she immediately smiled, and reached out to hug the little guy.
This is not the first time for Cui Lingxi to see the old lady. She blinked her big black eyes, and twisted her two little fleshy claws, as if she was thinking about who the kind-hearted old lady in front of her was.After hearing the old lady's voice, she seemed to recall something, and she fell towards the old lady with her little hands open.
"Oh, my little chubby girl, you are so cute, do you still remember the ancestor?"
Lingxi is the fourth generation of the Cui family. The old lady has a special status. If it is really difficult to call her according to her seniority, it is too wordy. Xiao Nan simply pointed to the old lady and told Lingxi, "This is the ancestor, A Yuan, You have to grow up quickly and be filial to your ancestors when you grow up, you know?"
Lingxi is only four months old, how can she understand these things, but seeing A Niang and the old woman in front of her smiling kindly, she also followed suit and laughed strangely.
"Ah-"
Lingxi continued drooling and screaming strangely, but the two chubby hands grabbed the red agate bracelet on the old lady's wrist.
The old lady saw that the girl was fat and cute, and she really liked it. She put her arm around Lingxi, and freed up her other hand to let the servant girl take off the bracelet, and dangled it in front of Xiao Lingxi, "Does A Yuan like it? Hehe, If you like it, the ancestor will give it to you, this is what the ancestor's aunt left for the ancestor!"
"what!"
Lingxi can't speak, but she moves very quickly. Two little fat claws slammed onto the old lady's hand holding the bracelet, and her little hands held the bracelet tightly and pulled it into her arms, pulling back and forth, what does that mean? As if to say, "I want it, give it to me!"
It only made the old lady laugh, stuffed the bracelet into Lingxi's arms, and lightly poked her tender forehead with her finger, "You, you are really a little money fan."
Xiao Nan saw that although the bracelet was not a very expensive item, it was more expensive because of the meaning it represented, listen to what the old lady just said, it was left to her by her aunt, it has important commemorative value.He hurriedly leaned over and said to the old lady: "Old lady, Ah Yuan is still young, she can lose such a precious bracelet in a while, so you should keep it. Hehe, when we Ah Yuan grows up, you will lose it in a while. Reward her."
The old lady didn't care, she lowered her head to tease A Yuan, and said casually: "She is young, the mother and maid beside her are still young, there are people who clean up around, so we can still lose things in our house? When you grow up, A Yuan grows up." , I’ll give her something else. Hehe, Ah Yuan, be obedient in the future, the ancestors have a lot of treasures here.”
Lingxi didn't understand what the old lady meant at all, but this didn't prevent her from being happy, she was holding the bracelet with great effort, and yelled at Xiao Nan, looking at it, she seemed to ask Xiao Nan to put it away for her.
The old lady was overjoyed when she saw her, "Oh, you're a little older, so you know how to give things to Mommy?"
Mother Qian at the side saw that the old lady was happy, and hurriedly followed suit, "This is our little lady who is filial and knows how to give good things to the elders. Don't be greedy, old lady, when the little lady gets something from the side, she will definitely give it to her." Here you are."
The old lady laughed when she heard the words, and Cui Heng, who was sitting under the low couch, also pursed her lips and smiled slightly.Unlike Cui Wei, when she saw the old lady giving valuable things to a little moon child who didn't understand anything, she didn't show any dissatisfaction, jealousy or other expressions, but smiled lightly, as if the old lady You should reward Lingxi with something.
Xiao Nan and Cui Heng greeted each other, then sat beside Cui Heng, chatting with the old lady.
Cui Heng has good eyesight, she saw that Xiao Nan had something to say to the old lady, so she found an excuse and got up to leave.
"How was the polo match yesterday? Nothing happened to the three ladies, right?"
Although the old lady had already known what happened yesterday from others, following the rules, she still asked Xiao Nan again.
Xiao Nan handed the bracelet to Yuzan next to him, and winked the others back.
Seeing this, the old lady would be happy to let the maids go out, leaving only two capable people, Mama Qiu and Mama Qian.
Xiao Nan said: "It's all because Qiao Mu is useless, no, I didn't take good care of my third sister..."
Xiao Nan reported yesterday's incident to the old lady in detail, and finally said with some helplessness: "Old lady, it's not that Qiao Mu is lazy and doesn't want to help you share your worries. The third younger sister should send a few old mothers to teach them the rules. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, it’s hard to say about her marriage, and it will implicate the other daughters of the Cui family.”
The old lady's face sank like water, although she still stretched out her hand to tease Lingxi, but the momentum of her whole body had changed, making Xiao Nan, who was in the greenhouse, feel a chilly feeling.
The little Lingxi also felt it, no longer babbling like before, but biting her little fleshy paw very obediently, honestly 'listening' to the conversation between the ancestor and A Niang.
"Well, I understand what you mean." The old lady was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "Erlang (referring to Cui Run) and his wife are not in Beijing. Although Liulang (referring to Cui Huibo) is the elder brother, he is younger after all. How can I take good care of my younger sister if I can't handle my affairs satisfactorily."
After thinking for a while, the old lady turned her head and said to Qiu's mother: "Go find two old mothers, preferably the old people of our Cui family, and let them go to Qiwuyuan to teach San Niangzi well. If she still doesn't accept If you want to teach, then go to Changshoufang, I remember there is a nunnery called Ganye Temple or Gratitude Temple.”
"Thanksgiving Temple!" Qiu's mother hurriedly reminded.
"Well, it's the Thanksgiving Temple. I heard that the rules there are very strict. Many family members of officials and eunuchs in Beijing like to go there to recuperate."
Xiao Nan laughed to himself, the old lady said that against her will, what is meant by 'all like to go', she was obviously pressured to go.Under normal circumstances, only female relatives who are not well-disciplined at home are forced to be sent to a nunnery for rest.It's as if his own child can't be disciplined harshly, so he can only hand it over to a compulsory institution to let others help manage the child.
Xiao Nan believes that as long as Mother Qiu tells Cui Wei where the Thanksgiving Temple is, she will be honest for a long time.
After chatting with the old lady for a while, Xiao Nan left a list, all of which were young and handsome men whom she had met and confirmed to be in good condition. This is also the best future husband she helped those sisters-in-law find out. .
After submitting the list, most of the tasks assigned to her by the old lady have been completed, and the rest is for the old lady to choose and make a decision, which has nothing to do with Xiao Nan.
Therefore, Xiao Nan also had time to sort out his private treasury, and packed out some porcelain, gold and silverware and lacquerware that were not used in daily life. Alas, there is still a profiteer waiting to trade with her in Taoyuan.
