The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 197 Adoption ([-])

No matter how much Xiao Nan admired and sighed towards the old lady, and no matter how much the eldest lady hated and angered, the matter of Cui Ba's adoption seemed to be settled like this.

In the past few days before Cui Ba's birthday, all kinds of rumors filled the various courtyards of Cui's family.It has to be said that everyone in the Cui family has extremely rich imaginations, and there are many versions circulated in the inner courtyard alone. Of course, there is only one theme, and that is that the old lady of Rongshou Hall wants to adopt Mr. Cui Balang as her grandson.

At first, these rumors were only quietly circulated among the masters and masters in various halls and houses;

Afterwards, not only the master, but even the lowest-ranked sweeping slaves in the yard began to discuss with great interest topics such as 'why the old lady adopted Cui Ba', 'the lady loves Mr. Balang the most, so I'm not sure how to make a fuss' and so on.

For a moment, the whole house was full of evasive eyes and chirping discussions, causing the Cui family to fall into a strange atmosphere.

What's even more strange is that the well-behaved eldest and youngest wives turned a blind eye to this situation, allowing the masters and servants in the mansion to criticize and speculate secretly.

Regarding this, Yuzhu, who was so sharp that she was almost pungent, even doubted: "I'm afraid there are many rumors that the lady ordered people to spread, right?"

Xiao Nan couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this remark, it is possible, it is certain that the eldest lady is reluctant to part with her son, but it is also absolute not to dare to disobey the old lady's express order.It is estimated that her old man is really hopeless, so she came up with such an idea, trying to use 'public opinion' to put pressure on the old lady, she does not want to adopt her son to Rongshoutang.

Of course, these are just chats between Xiao Nan and Yuzan Yuzhu in their spare time. She really doesn't care if Cui Ba will be adopted, and whether the Da Furen will bear a grudge against her.

However, there is one thing that Xiao Nan is very concerned about, that is, the rumors in the mansion are raging, and the servants are almost discussing in front of Cui Ba, "How much property will Mr. Balang inherit after the adoption", but Cui Ba is still ignorant He looked unconscious, and he didn't intend to confess this matter to her.

This made Xiao Nan somewhat frustrated.

People often say that a husband and wife are one body, and how a husband and wife are one body, of course, when a big event happens, the couple can get together to discuss and discuss, face problems together, and share joys and sorrows.

adopt?This shouldn't be a trivial matter, right?
On New Year's Eve, Cui Ba was also in the ancestral hall, and what Cui Liu knew about, he had no reason not to know.

And whenever Xiao Nan asked about this matter, Cui Ba always shook his head and smiled wryly, without saying a word to her.

This made Xiao Nan even more suspicious, this guy definitely knew the inside story, but he refused to tell her.

Hmph, damn Cui Ba, did he treat himself as a wife?

Resisting the suffocation in his chest, Xiao Nanqiang laughed and coaxed Lingxi to take a nap, dismissed the servants in the house, and walked into Taoyuan.

Today's Taoyuan is very different from what it was a month ago.

A month ago, only two or three acres of the hundreds of acres of arable land on the south side of Taoyuan were reclaimed, and most of the other land was overgrown with weeds, which made people feel wasteful; now, the closest to the center of Taoyuan More than 100 mu of land in the hinterland has been reclaimed, forming a half-moon around the [-] mu of green hills in the center, and the golden area is truly gratifying.

Leaning against the green hills, approaching the cultivated field and examining it carefully, only to find that the [-]-acre field has been divided into three equal parts, with a total area of ​​about [-] mu.

Among them, the westernmost one is the paddy field, which is now full of high-quality rice that will come to future generations. The plump and firm ears of rice bend the rice and bow to people in unison.

In the middle is the vegetable field, which is divided into small pieces according to the variety and taste. The vegetables in each small square are ripe, such as green vegetables, tender cabbage, tomato and eggplant branches, and some squares There are bamboo pole racks in it, and cucumbers, zucchini and beans are all covered with bamboo poles.

The easternmost one is the wheat field, planted with the highest yield and the best variety in later generations. It is said that the yield per mu is over [-] jin, and it is already ripe at this moment, and the golden ears of wheat are also bowing slightly, saluting each other with the ears of rice in the west.

On the southern periphery of the cultivated land, a large area of ​​fruit trees was planted, neatly arranged in rows, spreading to the edge of the peach forest, and there were at least a few thousand trees.Moreover, these fruit trees are also varieties that have been improved by cuttings in later generations. There are apple trees, pear trees, apricot trees, orange trees, mango trees, etc. enough to open an orchard.

Originally, Xiao Nan didn't intend to ask for fruit saplings, but in her opinion, it's not like there are no fruit trees in Tang Dynasty, so just use seeds to plant them.

But the profiteer Xiaoqi Children's Shoes is right, the fruit trees grown from the seeds are too primitive, and the taste and disease resistance are not as good as the improved varieties that have been grafted.Besides, what he gave was two-year-old saplings. Under normal circumstances, they would bear fruit in the second year.Not to mention that in Taoyuan, which is a super-defying artifact, it is almost planted today and harvested the next day, which is far more time-saving than using seeds.

Having said that, I have to talk about that plane profiteer again.

Although Xiao Nan was a little bit pained by being 'blackmailed' by the other party, but in all fairness, Xiao Qi is definitely an outstanding businessman.

On the day of the transaction between the two, Xiao Qi not only got all the things listed on Xiao Nan's list, but also got a lot of other things.For example, the [-] fruit tree seedlings mentioned just now, in addition, there are seeds of precious medicinal materials such as peony seedlings and ginseng, some commonly used western medicines such as antibiotics, calcium tablets, and iodophor, as well as a book full of encyclopedias, Chinese history, and famous people in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Notebooks for research and other e-books.

Of course, this notebook cannot be connected to the Internet. Currently, it can only be used as an e-book.

This is enough for Xiao Nan.

Therefore, when Xiao Nan saw these things, he knew that the other party was a profiteer, and he couldn't afford it early, but he still couldn't help but gave Xiao Qi a whole set of Tang tea sets, and was so happy that Xiao Qi's children's shoes saw his teeth but couldn't see his eyes .

In fact, if Xiao Qi knew that Xiao Nan had a daughter, she might get some milk powder and diapers for her.

But this is not too much, so that after the transaction, Xiao Qi still had a big smile on his face, and waved goodbye to Xiao Nan at "Glass" with all his strength, shouting "goodbye" (this guy really wants to be with Xiao Nan again) Xiao Nan is making a deal).

Watching Xiao Qi disappear slowly at the other end of the glass, the glass also shrinks a little bit, the thick fog gradually gathers, and finally returns to its original shape.

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Nan realized that she seemed to have been taken advantage of by Xiao Qi again. Aww, her silver and gold flower tea set has a total of six pieces, including a gold-plated silver cage with phoenix patterns for baking tea, and a silver cage for storing salt. The gilt figure painting silver tanzi, the tripod silver salt table with lenior capricorn pattern with pepper and other seasonings, the turtle-shaped gilt silver box for storing tea powder, the gilt swan goose cloud pattern silver tea roller and the The silver roller and the gilt silver tea Luo with the door seat of the pot with the pattern of immortal riding a crane for sifting tea powder.

All of these items are made of sterling silver and fine gold-gilt craftsmanship. In future generations, they will be worth at least 80 yuan, right? !

But she was actually "moved" by some things that were not worth much in later generations, and directly gave away the treasures that were enough to be put in museum exhibitions, and the most terrible thing was that she still happily gave them away.

Alas, no matter how many lives she lived, she really wasn't expected to be a businessman.

However, when Xiao Nan took the notebook into the bamboo house and opened it to browse, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Taoyuan's system was inexplicably integrated with the notebook, and there was an icon of Taoyuan on the desktop of the notebook.

Xiao Nan was very excited. You must know that Taoyuan’s system has always appeared in her mind. The virtual picture that appears in the mind.

But now, Xiao Nan excitedly clicked on the icon, and clearly saw the interface of the Taoyuan system.The interface is very simple, including the host (that is, Xiao Nan), the level (currently level three), and small icons such as farmland, forest, lake, and pasture.

However, among the small icons, only the plowing field is green, and the others are gray.

After some thought, Xiao Nan deduced: "Well, Taoyuan is currently at level three, and can only be cultivated and cultivated, while mountains and forests can only be opened after upgrading to level five. As for functions such as lakes and pastures, higher levels are required. Row.

With this guess, Xiao Nan carefully looked at the interface again, and found that there is a small progress bar under each small icon. The plowing field is naturally full, while the one under the forest is two-thirds brighter. Another third would be full.

Xiao Nan rubbed his chin, "It seems that we will be able to upgrade to level [-] or [-] soon, hehe, by then, medicinal materials can be grown in the mountains and forests, and animals such as animals can be brought in and raised in the forest. "

You must know that when she brings animals in now, she still needs to recognize the owner by dripping blood. Moreover, although the intelligence of the animals brought in in this way is higher than that of ordinary animals, the growth rate is not affected by Taoyuan, and it grows completely naturally.

At present, the only two animals that come in are Xiao Qing and Xiao Huang.

"Moo~~~"

With a deep cry, a strong yellow ox slowly walked past the bamboo house, and when it passed the window, it roared very loudly, as if it was meaningless to the owner for giving it a "little yellow" The name expresses dissatisfaction.

If Dou Huailin was present, he would definitely be scared out of his eyes. Isn't this the old fairy's mount? !

That's right, this is one of the props that Xiao Nan used to scare Dou Huailin that night, the second prop is Xiaoqing, a parrot parrot, and the third prop is a few scrolls of bamboo slips that have been stored for more than ten days at the northern edge of Taoyuan.

The reason why Xiao Nan chose the northern edge is because the time contrast there is the largest, with a full 70000:1. If stored for more than ten days, it will have the effect of hundreds or even thousands of years.

What is written on the bamboo slips is nothing else, but Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".

This was originally Xiao Nan's long-life gift that Xiao Nan planned to give to the saint, but now it was just given in advance.

Beside the Zhongnan Mountain where "Purple Qi Comes from the East", a strong old ox comes slowly. On the horns of the ox hangs an ancient bamboo slip from the Qin and Han Dynasties. If he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he will be suspicious.

And does His Majesty Li Er really not believe in ghosts and gods?
Xiao Nan expressed doubts.

If he didn't believe it, he wouldn't demote the official surnamed Wu after Yuan Tiangang made a "fudge".

This time, Xiao Nan also took advantage of Xiao Qing's mouth to tell Li Er His Majesty that Li Tang Jiangshan might be teased by a woman with a foreign surname.I believe that when His Majesty Li Er hears about it, he will definitely invite Yuan Dada to question him. At that time... Hehe, if he doesn't believe it, he will believe in the bird.

"Hey, there are also maps and spatial coordinates of Taoyuan here."

Xiao Nan fiddled with the system interface, and even called up the bird's-eye view of Taoyuan, as well as the spatial coordinates she set in Xiaonanshan.

The so-called spatial coordinate points are the benefits that come with the upgrade of the Taoyuan system to the second level. In layman's terms, it is a bit similar to the teleportation point in the game.As long as Xiao Nan sits on the bamboo couch in the bamboo house, he can shorten the space and reach Xiaonan Mountain in an instant.

With Taoyuan's current level, she can only set one coordinate point, but this coordinate point has helped Xiao Nan a lot, allowing her to 'create' a Xiaonanshan without anyone noticing, and can continue to maintain a small The 'miracle' of Nanshan.

"Hiss, this is—"

After fiddling around again, Xiao Nan found a system additional window, next to the small icon of the window was written the word "plane", but at the moment the icon is gray.

"Well, does it mean that if I activate the 'plane' function, I will be added to the plane system in the future, and I can often trade with different plane merchants?"

Xiao Nan held his chin, frowning and pondering hard.She slid the mouse button and put her shoulder on the icon, and a dialog box popped up.

Bai Nen's fingers slid back and forth on the mouse button, and finally, Xiao Nan chose 'Cancel'.

With Taoyuan, her life is already very good now, Xiao Nan doesn't want to cause more troubles.Once she opens the window of the plane, all kinds of inexplicable needs and desires will follow. She is not sure if her life will be better than now, but it will definitely be more hectic than now.

"Well, the real world is enough to keep people busy, so let's stop finding things for ourselves."

Xiao Nan shook his head, closed the notebook, picked some apples and put them in Xiaonan Mountain. Lady Xue would go every day, and then it would bring the basket of apples to A Niang.

The rice fields and wheat fields are all harvested with a harvester, and the rice and wheat grains are prepared with a thresher, and then these grains are packed into bags with a packing machine, and finally let Xiao Huang consign them to Qingshan and stack them.

After harvesting the grain, Xiao Nan picked some fresh vegetables in the vegetable field, picked some fresh vegetables, put them in bamboo baskets and put them in front of the bamboo house.

After finishing his busy work, Xiao Nan stepped out of Taoyuan again.

"Princess, you are awake."

Seeing Xiao Nan leaving the dormitory, Yuzan rushed to meet him.

"Well, what have you prepared for today's evening meal?"

Xiao Nan pretended to ask casually, lifted his feet out of the main hall, and walked towards the small kitchen in the courtyard.

"I heard from Yulian that today I picked some eggplants and courgettes in the greenhouse, as well as white cabbage in the cellar, fresh fish meat, hares from Zhuangzi, and Xiongbai from the princess mansion... She is also going to steam some steamed cakes, and there are also soup cakes (that is, noodles)..."

It's not time to cook yet, so Yuhan can only briefly talk about the ingredients in the kitchen.

Xiao Nan nodded, and walked into the small kitchen in a few steps. Yulian was leading a group of old, middle-aged and young women to kill fish and chop rabbit meat, and there were a few people who lit the fire and cleaned the tableware... jingling, so busy.

Seeing the hostess coming, everyone hurriedly stopped the servants in their hands, and Yulian took the lead to greet Xiao Nan: "I wish the princess well."

"Well, don't worry about me, I'll just take a look at it casually, don't stop, everyone, get busy."

Xiao Nan casually touched the stove, it was not bad, it was quite clean.

In fact, she was too worried. She was not into cooking right now, and if she didn't stir fry, there wouldn't be much oily smoke.In addition, Yulian, one of her four major maids, is in charge of the kitchen, how can the other cooks and little maids dare to slack off?
Yuzan originally wanted to come in too, but the small kitchen is not big, there are a dozen of them including the cooks and the maid who burns the fire and cleans the kitchen.With more than a dozen people plus things like the stove, kitchen utensils, water tanks, and copper tripods, it was not easy for Xiao Nan to turn around freely. After following a few maidservants, he couldn't move at all.

Xiao Nan didn't let Yuhan in either, just kidding, what did she do when she came in?With the jade hairpin behind her, didn't she see it all?
Waving to let everyone perform their duties, Xiao Nan walked to the place where the vegetables were placed, lifted the lid of the bamboo basket, picked up an eggplant as if checking, nodded, and took advantage of no one's attention, So I replaced the eggplants picked in Taoyuan.

Do the same with other dishes.

Because it is often done, Xiao Nan's movements are really not slow, but after a while, he replaced all the vegetables in the bamboo basket with Taoyuan vegetables.

Walking to the door, clapping his hands, Xiao Nan instructed: "Don't forget to prepare fruit puree for the little lady. I have ordered someone to deliver the fruit home. There are not many fruits here, so I only keep them for the little lady, understand?"

"Yes, maidservant understands!"

Yulian nodded hurriedly. As Xiao Nan's confidant, she is in charge of the kitchen of Chenguangyuan. She knows that people often send some fresh fruits from outside, and she also heard Yuhan's words. It is said that these are produced in Xiaonanshan It is extremely precious, and it is a holy product exclusively for Tai Chi Palace.If it weren't for their princess being the discoverer and manager of Xiaonanshan, they would really be unworthy of it.

The princess was also reluctant to eat the fruit, and whenever the fruit was brought, she either ordered someone to send it to the old lady and the eldest lady, or kept it for the little lady.

"Well, I'm relieved to have you in the kitchen."

Xiao Nan smiled at Yulian in satisfaction, then turned and left.

"Princess, the little lady is awake."

Just as Yuzhu was about to come out to look for Xiao Nan, she met Xiao Nan in the corridor of the main hall, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Oh, my spirit is awake."

As soon as Xiao Nan heard about his daughter, he was in a good mood, and quickly walked two steps into the main hall.

Fang was hugging the chubby little girl, saw Xiao Nan coming in, and hurriedly wanted to salute, but Xiao Nan stopped her, hugged her daughter with both hands, and kissed Lingxi children's shoes on the white and tender face, "Oh, my little baby Wake up, ouch, look at this little face with a look of sleepiness. You said that you only sleep all day long, why are you so listless?"

"Yeah!" The little girl finally responded to her mother's face.

"Hehe, we haven't practiced turning over yet, so we can't sleep anymore."

Said, Xiao Nan put the little girl on the thick lichen, and ordered someone to bring the props to amuse the child - two large golden kumquats.

"Come on, Lingxi, look quickly, this is a kumquat, turn it over and I'll give it to you!"

Xiao Nan knelt down in front of his daughter, holding a kumquat in his hand and shaking it vigorously.

Lingxi was lying on the lichen, staring blankly at the light green lichen in front of her with her small head, as if she was still thinking about how the person standing in front of her just now turned into a lush green, and she didn't pay attention to Xiao Nan's movements at all.Her small mouth was opened into an 'O' shape, and a stream of crystal clear liquid was hanging around her mouth, threatening to bleed.

However, Lingxi's movement, from a distance, looks like a little turtle lying on its stomach and dare not move, which only makes Xiao Nan giggle.

Maybe Xiao Nan's laughter was too 'ecstasy', or maybe Lingxi finally stopped worrying about artificial hair turning into lichen, she turned her head, and looked straight at her with her big round eyes.When the focus of her pupils was on the kumquat, the little girl's eyes finally came alive, she stood upright on the lichen, and waved her two little fleshy hands at Xiao Nan, screaming strangely.

"Oh, if you want it, then turn over and show it to Auntie!"

Xiao Nan hid the kumquat behind his back, then lightly poked his daughter's chubby body with his hand, reminding her how to turn over.

The little girl pursed her mouth, and the silver line finally flowed down.

Fang's movements were quick, and immediately wiped off the little girl's saliva with a soft cotton towel.

"Oh, it flipped over!"

"Oh, princess, look, the little lady's movements are getting more and more proficient."

"Hehe, flip one more!"

"Oh, princess, the little lady has turned over again!"

Xiao Nan and Fang Shi surrounded Lingxi, one on the left and the other on the right, each holding a kumquat in their hands, and kept coaxing the little girl to contact and turn over.

It was such a simple game, the two big ones and one small one insisted on playing it for a long time, and the two big ones still laughed happily.

As the sky was getting dark, Cui Lingxi was tired after being tossed about by her aunt and wet nurse for a long time, and finally she lay down and went on strike.

"Princess, the little lady is probably hungry, I should go and feed her some juice."

Fang's eyes were very wink, she knew that Xiao Nan didn't want her daughter to get too close to the nursing mother, let alone get her daughter used to being fed by the nursing mother, so she took the initiative to mention giving juice to Lingxi.

Xiao Nan nodded, "Go ahead, the kitchen has made fresh apple juice, remember to warm it up before giving it to Lingxi."

Her daughter is getting bigger and bigger, her own breast milk has long been insufficient, and Fang's side probably barely has enough. Fortunately, she has fresh fruits from Taoyuan to squeeze for her daughter to drink, otherwise, how could she raise her daughter so white and fat? Get round.

"Lady, the gentleman is back!"

The little maid in the corridor replied loudly.

"Oh, I see!"

Xiao Nan handed the kumquat to Yuzan, straightened out the messy clothes, and ordered Yuzan to prepare fried tea.

After a while, Cui Ba came in with big strides dressed in snow-white sackcloth.

"Hey, the lady didn't play with A Yuan?"

Cui Ba spread his arms, let the servant girl take off his outer robe, changed into a wide-sleeved gown and a pair of brocade cloth socks that he wore at home, and sat cross-legged beside Xiao Nan.

At this time, Yuzan had already come in with the boiled tea soup, one was placed in front of Cui Ba, and the other was handed to Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan took a sip of the tea soup, and said with a smile: "Just played for a long time, the little guy is tired, and is being served by the wet nurse to drink juice."

Cui Ba also picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and nodded, um, the temperature was just right, not too hot, so he took another two sips.

"Oh, let Mrs. Fang be more careful. Although it's spring, it's still cold outside. Don't catch a cold."

After drinking the tea soup, Cui Ba put the empty teacup on the table, looked up at Xiao Nan, and said with some embarrassment: "Oh, these days I only care about socializing outside, and I leave everything at home to my wife. , Ma’am, you’ve worked hard.”

Xiao Nan smiled, "Lang Jun's entertainment is also for the sake of future, I am your wife, and family affairs are my job, why bother?!"

Cui Ba laughed awkwardly, he avoided Xiao Nan's gaze, and casually picked up a topic, "By the way, the Buddha's birthday is two days away, we went to Famen Temple to touch the tooth of the Buddha last year, can we go back this year?"

Xiao Nan replied crisply, "Of course we will. It was because we made a vow before the Buddha last year that we have A Yuan. This year, we will go to fulfill the vow."

Cui Ba nodded repeatedly. He has been dazed by Bai's fascination these days, neglected his family, and is feeling guilty towards his wife and daughter at the moment. Now that his wife has a request, and it is still related to his daughter, there is no reason for him to refuse.

Xiao Nan's eyes flashed, and he deliberately smiled and said: "Mr., don't worry, I will not forget your birthday. Hehe, I will also prepare for your birthday. You don't need such oblique reminders."

Cui Ba was taken aback, birthday?Yes, he, he was born on the seventh day of April. Isn't the day before the Buddha's birthday his birthday?God, he was so 'busy' that he forgot his birthday?
His gaze once again met Xiao Nan's, Cui Bageng felt guilty, turned his head involuntarily, and giggled twice, "Young lady, I, I almost forgot my birthday."

Xiao Nan pretended to be angry and shook his head, "Lang Jun, this is your fault. This year is your weak year, and the old lady and everyone (referring to the mother-in-law) have said that they will hold a birthday party for you. Forgot? Also, the old man also helped Langjun choose the name of the watch, and it will be announced in public after Langjun completes the coronation ceremony."

Cui Ba's face was flushed red, he had really overdone it recently, he went out before dawn all day and came back after dark, if it wasn't for the tight security of Cui's house, he would most likely stay out at night.

He doesn't stay at home all day, so he doesn't pay much attention to the movement at home. This is the real reason why he didn't express anything about the 'adoption'.

Cui Ba didn't dare to look at Xiao Nan, but it didn't mean that Xiao Nan didn't dare to stare at him.

Having lived with Cui Ba for more than a year, Xiao Nan can also tell something from his expression and demeanor.

Seeing his face full of shame and his eyes flickering now, he guessed a thing or two.In addition to Cui Ba's performance these days, there are always people who report to her. Contacting this Balang when he goes out and comes in every day, Xiao Nan quietly heaves a sigh of relief. At least, he didn't deliberately pretend to be stupid in front of her. He really didn't know. Gossip at home.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Nan decided to remind him and let him take the initiative to tell the truth.

"Lang Jun, that day... the old lady said that she would give Lang Jun a good birthday party, but for some reason, I always see that the expressions of the old lady and everyone are different from usual, is there any taboo?"

Xiao Nan put his hand lightly on the back of Cui Ba's hand, patted hard, and asked.

"Ah?!" Cui Bazheng was blaming himself, suddenly felt pain in the back of his hand, looked down and saw a white and tender hand on his big hand, and said with a smile: "What taboo?" He didn't hear Xiao Nan's words at all. what.

Xiao Nan curled his lips secretly, but his face didn't show it, and he repeated it thoughtfully, his small hand kept rubbing his big hand, as if he would never let go until he gave an answer.

Cui Ba was stunned for a moment, his fluttering eyes finally met Xiao Nan's, and after staring at Xiao Nan's for a long time, he sighed, "Oh, I was just guessing about this, so I didn't tell you. But now It looks like it's real."

guess?

Xiao Nan frowned, "What's the matter?"

Cui Ba pursed his lips, looked down at the teacup on the table, and said after a long time: "When worshiping ancestors on New Year's Eve, Liu Lang's 'bastard' and our A Yuan will be recorded in the genealogy, so the old lady invited out the genealogy. After memorizing it, he didn't put it back immediately..." It was rare for Cui Ba to see him with eyesight, and he didn't mention his concubine in front of Xiao Nan.

"The old lady, Ah Weng and the second uncle whispered around the genealogy for a while, and then they called Aye over. They discussed how to spend a stick of incense, and what to write on the genealogy, and finally respectfully passed on the genealogy. Put the genealogy back on the high platform of the altar..."

Xiao Nan was puzzled and interrupted him, "Lang Jun, what does this have to do with us?"

Cui Ba smiled wryly, "When I left the ancestral hall, didn't Aniang whisper a few words to Aye? I was far away and didn't listen carefully, I only vaguely heard a few words, 'Balang', 'Adoption', 'Elder Princess'— —”

Xiao Nan had guessed it a long time ago, but he still pretended to hear it for the first time, and asked with a look of astonishment on his face: "Could it be, is it possible that the husband (referring to Cui Ze) wants to adopt the husband to whom? Wait, there are rumors in the family recently, The servant girls and the grooms in the stables in the backyard are all whispering, saying that they want to adopt the Lord to Rongshoutang, could it be true?"

Cui Ba nodded, looking sad.

The old lady treats him well, and he is willing to get close to the old lady, but this does not mean that he is willing to adopt the old lady as her grandson.Because once adopted, his parents will become uncles and aunts in the next room, and his elder brother will also become the cousin in the next room... My Aye can no longer be called Aye. It's okay, how can he bear it.

Xiao Nan's expression looked like a smile or a cry, she opened her mouth and said, "Why? The Cui family has many descendants, why does the old lady value us alone?"

Cui Ba raised his head quickly, glanced at Xiao Nan, then lowered his head quickly.

Xiao Nan could see clearly that Cui Ba's eyes were filled with complaints.

It seems that he also believed in the saying of 'adopted Hachiro, plead guilty to the princess'.

With a cold snort in his heart, Xiao Nan decided to straighten the bent '2', and by the way reminded someone in the golden house that "the outer room is not so easy to arrange." There is a high possibility of sharp fangs behind the beauty '.

She pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "I see, the old lady has really thought of this move."

This time Cui Ba was puzzled, he frowned, and asked, "What do you think my lady said?"

Xiao Nan raised his head, glanced at him with a stupid look, and said: "I still don't understand, let me ask you, how did Mr. Liulang's 'bastard' come from? Isn't it because the eldest brother set up the outer room and didn't want to But he fell into the trap of others. In desperation, he had no choice but to take the child into the mansion and raise him under the name of Mr. Liu Lang. The Sanji Cui family took advantage of this and asked the Xianggong to recommend several nephews over there as officials. Well, for this reason, even Liu Lang-kun's errand is gone.

Also, during the Shangyuan Festival this year, there was a big lantern show over there, and it was said that our family's old husband and grandpa would also attend. As a result, there were many people in Beijing who admired the old grandpa and his reputation The literati and elegant scholars have all gone there, but our place is deserted, only a few scholars in sackcloth make up the count..."

As he spoke, Xiao Nan's voice paused, and he suddenly stared straight at Cui Ba.

Cui Tongxi only felt a chill on the back of his neck, and hurriedly looked up, seeing Xiao Nan's eyes full of accusations, his heart pounded, and he mistakenly thought that Xiao Nan was going to ask about his 'outside room'.

Xiao Nan smiled bitterly, "There is one more thing that I haven't told you. The Hemerocallis family who gave me medicine last year was also from the Cui family over there. The old lady found out clearly, but she didn't tell others."

Cui Ba breathed a sigh of relief, but then got angry again, "So unscrupulous over there? What do you think of our dual-phase Cui family?"

Xiao Nan put away his wry smile, and snorted coldly, "Of course it's a side branch."

Cui Ba was at a loss for words, he had no choice, what Xiao Nan said was right, he had a direct branch of the direct line over there.According to the patriarchal system, people from the direct branch have a higher status and confidence than those from the side branch.

Xiao Nan continued to 'break straight', "We are three points weaker if we stand on the throne. So, in order to protect our family from being swallowed up by our family, the old lady thought of adopting you to inherit the Rongshou Hall."

Then, Xiao Nan told Cui Ba again what he had analyzed with Yuzan.

Cui Ba frowned at first, as if he was listening temporarily.

After listening to a few words, he felt that what the lady said was more and more reasonable. At the end, he nodded again and again, "Yes, what the lady said is very true. As long as we inherit the Rongshou Hall, we will also keep a third of the Cui family. Industry."

Seeing that Cui Ba had accepted his point of view, Xiao Nan felt satisfied, and smiled slightly: "Although my mother and I are not used to using power to oppress others, we will never allow others to bully us. I think The old lady also values ​​this point. However, everyone (mother-in-law) may be misunderstood.
