The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 198 Nanping Crossing the Gate ([-])

"...So what's rumored outside is true? Are you two really going to move to Rongshou Hall?"

The eldest princess leaned lazily on the hidden pouch, propped up the cushion with one hand, and caressed her lower abdomen with the other hand.But now she has not yet shown her pregnancy, but her face is filled with a loving look of being a mother again.

With a smile on her face, she looked at her daughter who was kneeling in front of her, carefully peeling fruits for her, and casually asked the most lively gossip in the capital.

"En." Holding a silver knife, Xiao Nan peeled the apples, then cut them into small pieces and put them on a white porcelain plate, with bamboo toothpicks inserted into each piece, "Aniang, this is the knot of my Zhuangzi's greenhouse. You can taste the fruit that comes out."

"It's not bad, hehe, although it's not as good as Xiaonanshan's fruit, it's much better than the ones sold outside."

The fruits and vegetables of Xiaonanshan are not enjoyed by all royal families and clan members, but the eldest princess has a detached status and is pregnant, so she can receive rewards from the palace every few days, so that the eldest princess is not short of delicious and fresh fruit to eat.This does not include that Xiao Nan 'borrows' Snow Lady's claws from time to time, under the name of Xiaonanshan, but actually smuggles fruits and vegetables from Taoyuan to the eldest princess to eat.

Therefore, although the Eldest Princess is pregnant beyond her age, her body is in excellent condition. If people who don't know her face see her rosy complexion, they will never guess that she is pregnant with a child.

The Eldest Princess is in excellent condition, but the imperial doctor and Concubine Xiao are cautious and have repeatedly told the Eldest Princess to recuperate at home. The daughters-in-law have also been told again and again not to let the Eldest Princess get tired, angry, or disturbed. And... and the queen, after knowing that the eldest princess was pregnant, several noble ladies in Beijing who had not conceived for many years came to the princess mansion, pleading and crying, which annoyed the eldest princess so much that she couldn't take a good rest, so she directly An order was issued that no one was allowed to disturb the eldest princess' pregnancy.

As a result, not only those noble ladies dare not come to the door, even the few relatives and friends who have been friends with the eldest princess, and even the princess and princess in the palace dare not come to the princess mansion to chat with sisters and aunts. Suddenly it became empty.And the maids and officials of the princess mansion have also received double orders from the palace and the son-in-law, never to bother the princess with "trivial matters"... which directly caused news about the eldest princess to be somewhat blocked.

She picked up the apple and chewed it in small bites. She was still filtering out what happened at her daughter-in-law's house a few days ago in her mind. Suddenly, she thought of a question and said with a smile: "When it comes to the greenhouse, you don't know about the newly built greenhouse in Chenguangyuan." Which one is cheaper? By the way, when will you move to Rongshoutang? Did Mrs. Zheng say which room Chenguangyuan will allocate to?"

Xiao Nan took the wet handkerchief from the handmaiden at the side, wiped the fruit stains on his hands, then picked up an apple, and replied while eating: "I don't know which one is cheaper. As for moving, Rong There are several courtyards in the birthday hall, but except for the main courtyard, the other courtyards have not been lived in for many years, and the other courtyards are a bit messy, the old lady said, after the waiter does a good job of repairing it, it will not be too late for us to move there."

Speaking of this, Xiao Nan rolled his eyes as if he was counting the days silently, and finally said: "Well, I guess it will take a month or two."

"Oh, that's what the old lady said?" The eldest princess ate a few pieces of apples and put her hands down, letting the maid beside her wash her hands. She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said with a smile: "The old lady is really... ...Hehe, she doesn't want Nanping to get what she wants."

Chenguang Courtyard is adjacent to Hepu Courtyard, the future residence of Nanping.

If Cui Ba hadn't been adopted by the old lady, Nanping would naturally not have the idea of ​​Chenguangyuan.But now that Cui Ba has become the heir and grandson of Rongshoutang, no matter from the patriarchal or logical point of view, he should move to the old lady's side to serve the elderly. down.According to Nanping's temperament, she will definitely try to get Chenguangyuan over and merge it into Hepuyuan.

But the old lady would never agree.

If it wasn't for the Sanji Cui family talking about the Cui family's ancestral training, the old lady would have 'separated' all the Hepuyuan family out of the Cui family, and would not have allowed Hepuyuan to have the opportunity to 'develop' and 'strengthen'.

Using the renovation of Rongshou Hall as an excuse to delay the time and extend the time limit for Xiao Nan to move out of Chenguangyuan, it is best to delay the wedding in Nanping, this is the best way the old lady can think of.

"Well, the old lady may indeed plan to do so."

Xiao Nan also laughed. Seeing that the eldest princess no longer ate fruit, she motioned for the maid to take the fruit plate away, while she moved to the side of the eldest princess, beat her legs considerately, and whispered about her own trivial matters, "Nanping Isn't her wedding date set around the Dragon Boat Festival? Hehe, the Rongshou Hall only needs to be renovated for a month, and Nanping can only hold the wedding in the narrow Hepu Courtyard. And when she comes in and lives in the new house, even if I vacate Chenguangyuan, Da Furen also allowed Hepuyuan to merge with Chenguangyuan, according to Nanping's arrogance, she will never live in the house I lived in."

The same yard, if it was given to Nanping before marriage, she can decorate it with the new house according to her own wishes, so that when they get married, it can also be used as a 'new house'.But after getting married... Xiao Nan shook his head with a smile. Although this princess has been yelling "know the rules", "know the etiquette" and "generous and generous" all day long, she pays attention to these things most in her heart - people are so inferior because of their inferiority complex. Being proud is very different from being proud because of being proud.

"Okay, let's not talk about other people's affairs, let me ask you, Cui Ba also passed the exam of the bridegroom, what do the Cui family and Cui Ba think about his future?"

The eldest princess suppressed her smile, thinking of a rumor she had heard by chance recently, she asked seriously: "Also, is he treating you and Lingxi well? Did he play tricks outside?"

Xiao Nan also suppressed his smile, took A Niang's hand and put it on his face, and said softly: "The old man told the old lady that he wanted Mr. Lang to hone in the capital for a few years, and to study in the sixth department. Learn how to handle affairs as an official, and when he is more mature and stable, he will find a county not far from the capital... However, the old lady said, I still want to hear what you and Aye think. Aniang, what do you think Mr. Is it appropriate to stay in the capital now?"

The battle between the princes became more and more fierce. Under Wei Zheng's guidance, although the prince restrained himself a lot, the sage still loved the other princes, especially the kings of Wu and Wei, so many ministers in the court mistakenly thought that the sage was dissatisfied with the prince. , Want to change to establish other 'virtuous kings'.

And those gentry whose rights are gradually diminishing also choose future kings who are beneficial to their own class, hoping that the next saint will be more tolerant to the gentry so as to restore their former glory and status.

The forces from all sides became active one after another, causing all the officials in the court to stand up, and the air in the capital became extremely strange.

Seeing that her daughter avoided the scandal of Cui Ba's 'Golden House Cangjiao', the eldest princess knew that her daughter was worried about her health and didn't want to worry about her with these troublesome things, so she sighed silently and followed her daughter's wishes: "You It doesn't matter whether you stay or not. Although there are some people in the capital who are making trouble, but there are Aye and Aniang in the palace, no one can make a big disturbance. But, if Cui Ba gets a foreign post, you must go with him , Lingxi is still young, you have never left me since you were young..."

In a word, the eldest princess is reluctant to let her daughter leave Beijing to go out and suffer.

Xiao Nan naturally understood, she thought for a while, raised her eyes to look at the princess's flat stomach, and said, "I don't worry about it, mother... Well, according to the old man's arrangement, I will find the princess in Beijing. It’s an errand. For the sixth department, it’s better to enter the Ministry of Industry. For the nine temples, you can go to Dali Temple or Sinong Temple. "

In China, the rules of officialdom have been similar since ancient times, that is, one word 'boil', boiled seniority.If you want to hold a high position, you must have a complete official resume, both central and local.

With Cui Ba's identity and the connections of Cui and Xiao's family, Cui Ba can definitely get along well in the capital.But when you get to the locality, you must make some political achievements, and if you want to make political achievements, it is inseparable from agriculture, water conservancy and criminal proceedings.

Xiao Nan's choice is also to lay the foundation for Cui Ba's future release.

Although the eldest princess has never been in officialdom, she still knows some of the rules. After listening to Xiao Nan's words, she nodded in satisfaction, "Sure enough, Qiao Mu has benefited, and he also knows how to help your husband plan. Well, I'll tell you, Aye." Tell him, let him find an errand for Cui Ba at the gates of the yamen you mentioned."

Xiao Jing has no real lack of leadership, but he still has the title of captain consort, the qualification to enter the palace, and the right to recommend talents in front of saints. It is more difficult to find a high-ranking official for a son-in-law, but it is definitely not a problem to find a small official position of the sixth or seventh rank.

Not to mention that Cui Ba is still a serious person who has passed the imperial examination and passed the bridegroom. Even if he goes through the back door, outsiders will not say anything if they hear about it.

"It's still Aniang, Aye who loves me..."

Xiao Nan took advantage of the situation and lay on the eldest princess's lap, acting coquettishly like when he was not married.

"..." The eldest princess still wanted to talk about Cui Bazhi's outer room, but seeing Xiao Nan's love and affection as a child, her heart was filled with warmth, so she put those bad things aside. Once again, he reached out and gently stroked his daughter's fair face.But she secretly decided that when the son-in-law came back, she would ask the son-in-law to investigate Cui Ba carefully, and if the rumors were true, she would teach him a solid lesson, so that he would know that her eldest princess' daughter is not so easy to bully.

"By the way, Qiao Mu, there is one more thing I've always wanted to tell you, but every time you come I always forget,"

The mother and daughter were warm for a while, the eldest princess finally remembered something, took Xiao Nan's arm, made her sit up, and looked straight into her eyes.

"Eh? What's the matter, mother, are you still so solemn?"

Xiao Nan was taken aback, and looked at the eldest princess inexplicably.

"Let me ask you, how is the bastard born to that lowly servant girl doing now?"

"Bastard?" Xiao Nan's face changed slightly, she turned her eyes away, her eyes wandered around the room, "What else can I do? The imperial doctor said that I won't live until this month."

"Confused..."

PS: Alas, in the past year, especially the last three or four months, a certain Sa's status was very poor, and the updates were intermittent. I must have disappointed you. I'm really sorry for those who have supported me all the time. A certain Sa solemnly respects my dear friends. They say 'sorry'.During the New Year, a certain Sa was too ashamed to stand up, and he couldn't give everyone New Year's greetings. Dear friends, I'm sorry again!
