The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 194 Adoption ([-])

The eighth day of April is the Buddha’s birthday. According to the custom, people nowadays call their friends and family members to the temple to touch the tooth of the Buddha, pray to the Buddha, and taste the vegetarian food in the temple by the way. Stuffing (that is, steamed buns with vegetarian stuffing).

According to the lively nature of the people of the Tang Dynasty, this originally solemn and solemn Buddhist holy day was forced to be as vigorous and lively as a secular festival.

On the seventh day of April, it was Cui Youbo's birthday, and he was born one day earlier than the Buddha's birthday, which made the lady entangled for a long time.However, Cui Ba is her favorite young son, even if he did not have the same birthday as the Buddha, it cannot stop the eldest lady from pampering Cui Ba.

It stands to reason that for a junior like Cui Ba who still has a grandfather, father and brother, his birthday is nothing more than a family sitting together for a meal.But the eldest lady loves her little son, so in the past 19 years, every time Cui Ba celebrates her birthday, she will post a post to invite some relatives and friends to come to the house. , Cui's Xiaoba is another year older.

This year, Cui Youbo is 20 years old, and he is a weak crown. On his growth path, he has encountered a very important stop - when he reaches the crown, he is an adult, and it is time for him to take on certain family and family responsibilities.

At such an important moment, the eldest lady wanted to hold a birthday party for her youngest son.

However, what she didn't expect was that before she could ask the old lady for instructions, the old lady took the initiative to speak.

It was the first day of April, and the eldest lady brought a group of sisters-in-law, daughter-in-law, nephew, and granddaughter-in-law to greet the old lady as usual.

A group of women in bright robes saluted as usual and took their seats in order.

The First Madam and the Third Madam knelt and sat on the lower right side of the Old Madam, while Xiao Nan, the Eldest Young Madam and others knelt and sat on the lower left side.

As soon as everyone sat down, before the lady could say a few words of greeting, the old lady in the main hall said: "The seventh day of this month is Hachiro's birthday, right?"

Both Da Furen and Xiao Nan straightened up.

The old lady nodded and replied: "Yes, hehe, the old lady has a really good memory."

The old lady waved her hand and continued: "Hey, old man, I don't remember many things. But it's easy to remember that Balang's birthday is only one day away from Buddha's birthday."

She is the ancestor of the Cui family, and every word and deed of the Cui family will be followed by all the halls and houses of the Cui family.If she cared too much about one of Rongkangtang's youngest sons, then other people in the hall and at the head of the house would inevitably have objections.

"No, if my daughter-in-law remembers correctly, Hachiro's birthday is only a few hours away from Buddha's birthday."

The third wife, Xiao Lu looked at the eldest lady with malicious intentions and smiled, her mouth was full of pity, but anyone could see the schadenfreude in her eyes.

Sitting next to her, the Fourth Young Wife Lu and the Seventh Young Wife Wu were all like mud tires, as if they hadn't heard the mother-in-law's almost blunt ridicule, but Cui Heng who was behind the little Lu, pulled it off without a trace. Pull the hem of A Niang's clothes.

"That's right, that's why Hachiro was blessed by the Buddha, he was praised as Cui Jiayulang when he was young and talented, and now he has passed the most difficult examination of Jinshi and became the bridegroom." Xiao Nan's face changed when he saw his mother-in-law. , hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Old lady, it shows that our Balang's birthday is better than ordinary 'ordinary people'."

The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were divided into subjects such as Mingjing and Jinshi. If the family members took part, most of them took the Mingjing test, because the admission rate of Mingjing was [-] out of [-], while the admission rate of Jinshi was [-]%, or even [-] points. In a few days, the difficulty is not ordinary.

And Cui Ba Neng passed the Jinshi Section Bridegroom, and his ranking was extremely high, which is definitely a manifestation of strength.

Hearing Xiao Nan's praises all over the mouth, and the proud expression on his face, most of the gloom in the lady's chest dissipated.

Because others don't know, she knows her son's birthday best, and Xiao Ba was only half an hour away from being born on the same day as Buddha.

The reason for declaring that there are several hours behind is nothing more than a popular practice in ancient times, deliberately saying the child's birthday earlier and later by a few hours - how can the child's birthday be known to others, what if someone commits witchcraft? ? !
"You—" Who are you saying is an ordinary person?

No matter how stupid Xiao Lu is, she can hear the sarcasm in Xiao Nan's words. She only gave birth to one son in her life, but this son did not disappoint her. He entered Nanya Sixteen Guards at a young age. Among the third-generation males in the family, they became officials early.

Before Cui Ba failed to become a Jinshi, she often talked about "Cui Ba, but another Zhongyonger", inside and outside jokes.

While belittling Cui Ba, Xiao Lu did not vainly praise his son to heaven, and also used this as an excuse to recruit good concubines for his son—hmph, I don’t know, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, he is not a high-ranking official There is no right to accept Liang's son as a concubine at all.

A son is eligible to take a concubine, and in Xiao Lu's eyes, it is also capital to show off.

However, I didn't expect how long she would be complacent. Cui Ba and Cui Ba, that dude, were really like those poor children, going to take the imperial examination bitterly.

Just take the exam, and you still pass the exam.

Just pass the exam, and you actually got a very high ranking.

As a result, Cui Ba became popular again in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing, and became a representative of the prodigal son turning back and striving to make progress.

What kind of brother three Jinshi, compared with the Cui family's most proud "father-son dual phase", the limelight of the big house directly overshadowed the other halls and houses of the Cui family.

Whenever outsiders mentioned the Cui family, they would say what about Dalang Cui, Sanlang Cui, and Balang Cui, but Qilang from her own family was forgotten in a corner, how could she not be angry.

Cui Ba's mother Da Chong Niangzi was promoted to princess again, which made her dare not find fault even if she wanted to find fault.After all, the old lady and the eldest lady owed her debts, but Xiao's Anan didn't owe her anything, and her utterly elegant husband, Cui Jiasanlang, also sent a message to tell her to settle down and not spoil her daughter's marriage .

Little Lu looked at her seventeen or eighteen-year-old daughter, pursed her mouth, well, she endured it for the sake of her precious daughter, and she was really honest for a while, even the things in Qilang's yard were not as concerned as before.

But today, I heard that the old lady still remembered Cui Ba's birthday, and judging from what she said, it seemed that she wanted to do something special for Cui Bada, how did this make little Lu willing?

Her Xiao Qi is only one year older than Cui Ba Nian, in the entire Cui family, except her, who remembers Xiao Qi's birthday?
Under the extreme resentment, Xiao Lu's taunt mode was fully activated, and he stabbed the eldest lady regardless.

Now she heard Xiao Nan laughing at her son as an 'ordinary man', the anger in her chest was ignited even more, she almost forgot Xiao Nan's status as the princess, straightened up and was about to start a war.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cui Heng hurriedly got up and held the corner of A Niang's clothes, and said before Xiao Lu opened her mouth, "Hehe, I heard it, old madam, do you want to hold a birthday party for Ba Ge? That's right, if I remember correctly, Mynah is 20 years old this year, and it's time for the crowning ceremony. Logically, our Mr. Cui's crowning ceremony is going to be a big one."

As he said that, Cui Heng pulled A Niang's sleeves hard, and added with hints in his eyes, "A Niang, do you want to say the same to the old lady? Hehe, yes, last year the seventh brother was weak At that time, the old lady and the old man were both present, and the old man even gave Brother Seven his name. For this, A Niang is very grateful to the old lady and the old man. A Niang, do you think so?"

The Cui family hadn't separated yet, so A Niang offended the ancestors of the Cui family and the mistress of the family. She really felt that her life was too comfortable.

Little Lu was pulled so hard by her daughter that she turned her head angrily, just in time to meet her daughter's cold eyes, and immediately shivered.

I don't know what's wrong, she is obviously a mother, but every time she sees her daughter's eyes that are so quiet that she doesn't look like a little lady, she always feels inexplicably flustered, as if seeing her deceased aunt and sister-in-law, making her I dare not look at my daughter at all.

Cui Heng is also a calm person, and he has always stood on the ground, even if Xiao Lu wanted to use his mother's status to suppress him, he would not have the confidence.

Gabbling, Xiao Lu slowly nodded under her daughter's silent coercion, and said dryly: "Yes, hehe, Ah Heng is right, I, I mean that."

Seeing this, the old lady raised her mouth slightly, stretched out her hand and nodded Cui Heng, and said dotingly, "You monkey, you are still so clever, how do you know that I want to hold a crown banquet for Ba Lang?"

"Oh, with your powerful ancestor like you, old lady, my little cleverness is nothing. Old lady, tell me, what should I do for the birthday party of mynah? I can agree, except for two crooked words, one hand I can't afford any birthday presents for embroidery work with uneven stitches, and when the time comes, the ancestors, aunts, and eighth sisters-in-law must not dislike it."

Cui Heng rarely showed his little daughter acting like a baby, and tried his best to adjust the atmosphere in the hall.

None of the people present were dull, they responded one after another when they saw this, and there was a lot of talking and laughing in the hall.

Xiao Nan giggled for a while, and finally pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "Oh, look at our fourth lady, what do we eat on weekdays, why is this mouth so clever? What are you talking about? ?Our Cui family's poems and books are heirs, not to mention that everyone is talented, but everyone has kung fu. I don't know about others, but Si Niangzi's hand is flying, and her writing is more elegant and free than my little aunt. "

"Sister-in-law Eight made fun of me again, how can I compare to the princess." Cui Heng said modestly, but the smile on his face was quite confident.Because Xiao Nan is not exaggerating when he said this, his calligraphy is indeed quite good.

"Hehe, alright, let's get down to business,"

The old lady stretched out her hand to press down, then turned her head and said to the eldest lady, "In the past two months, there were a lot of trivial matters at home. A Yuan's hundred-day banquet and the celebration banquet for the Scholars in Balang were not well organized. I really wronged Balang Husband and wife. Therefore, Hachiro’s birthday party this year must be well organized. In addition, the old man has also prepared a watch for Hachiro, and it will be announced in public when the coronation ceremony is held.”

The implication is that the two of you should stop bothering to get the name for Hachiro.

For some reason, Da Furen and Xiao Nan both had an inexplicable premonition, as if something had happened.
