The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 208 Xiao Nan Butler ([-])

The old lady put down the silver chopsticks slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Let them in."

Not long after, Nan Ping, who was wearing a crimson gauze dress and a moon white peony embroidered chest-length skirt, walked in, and behind her was Cui Sibo, who was wearing a purple robe and a jade belt.

This is the first time Nanping came to salute the old lady after marrying into the Cui family.

It's not that the old lady refused to give Nan Ping a face and didn't allow her to come to salute, but that Nan Ping ran back to her mother's house by herself and didn't come back until yesterday.

The husband and wife stood together in the hall, and looked at the people in the room without any trace: the old lady sat cross-legged on the main seat in the main hall, and Xiao Nan casually knelt and sat on the small couch at the lower right of her. Behind each stood an old mother Ji, and there were a few little maids standing neatly in the four corners of the room.

Finally seeing the old lady, no matter how much they hated this person, Nan Ping and Cui Sibo still bowed down respectfully.

"Hehe, we are all a family, why are you being so polite, Qiao Mu is the same, why don't you pull Nanping?"

The old lady had a kind face, she couldn't see how much she hated the young couple in front of her at all, she smiled kindly, as if she was looking at her beloved little grandson and grandson-in-law.

Xiao Nan heard the words and hurriedly opened his mouth to adjust the atmosphere, "Oh, blame me, blame me, Nanping, Dalang, hurry up... If you don't get up again, the old lady will scold me again!"

Deliberately making a frightened look caused the old lady to burst out laughing.

The atmosphere in the house was finally much more relaxed. The old lady smiled and asked: "You can use the morning food? If you don't think the food here is bad, you can sit down together and eat it with us."

Nan Ping smiled lightly, and unceremoniously dragged Cui Sibo to the position of the old lady's lower left head and knelt down.

Mother Qiu, who was waiting on the sidelines, had already ordered someone to prepare two servings of court food.

After a while, two maidservants came in with food boxes in their hands, and set meals, dishes and silver chopsticks for Nanping and Cui Sibo respectively.

The old lady didn't say anything more, she just nodded and told everyone 'dinner is ready'.

Xiao Nan understood, picked up the silver chopsticks again, and ate gracefully.

Nanping and Cui Sibo's manners are not bad, but compared to the old lady's natural and smooth, their movements seem a bit rigid and too deliberate.

Half an hour passed, and everyone had almost finished eating, and they dropped their chopsticks one after another.

Mother Qiu directed a few servant girls to quickly remove the food box, and then served thick tea soup to the four present.

Nan Ping picked up the teacup and took a sip or two, and praised with a smile, "The tea soup from my aunt is still delicious."

The old lady nodded with a smile, as if enjoying the praise very much, "Drink more if it tastes good."

Cui Sibo was also busy chiming in to make fun of it, and the hall was a little busier than before.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost infected, Nanping winked at the maid behind her.

The little maidservant in green understood, and hurriedly handed over a red bundle. The bundle was not fastened, and the four corners were lightly put together. Xiao Nan looked over from one side, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be something in the bundle. pair of shoes.

Huh?Could it be that this is the meeting gift that Nan Pingyuan gave to the old lady when she was preparing for the ceremony.

It's just that the old lady was absent on purpose at that time, Nanping didn't give this thing away, and now, after half a month, she brought it on purpose again. Could it be that she wanted to complete the unfinished "meeting ceremony"?
Holding the bundle in his hands, Nanping got up and came to the place a few steps away from the old lady's bed. Yingying knelt down and said softly: "Grandmother, these are a pair of brocade shoes that my son made for you. The craftsmanship may not be as good as that of the eighth sister-in-law. They are only worn on the face. It took only half a month to do the embroidery on it... for the sake of sincerity, please don't hold it against me."

Xiao Nan's guess was right, these shoes were indeed a gift prepared by Nanping for the old lady, but they were not sent out that day, and Nanping almost threw them away with hatred.

Or after she returned to her natal home, her stepmother heard about this and gave her an idea to ask her to see the old lady as soon as she returned to Cui's house.

It would be best if the old lady didn't let her in, and she would put this meeting gift on the threshold outside the gate, so that everyone in the Cui family could see how old, stupid and unreasonable Cui Sanniang, who is known for her etiquette and rules, is.

If the old lady allows her to enter, she will bow to the old lady properly, so that her evening ceremony can have a successful ending.

Now the old lady not only invites them in, but also warmly entertains them with morning food, which calms the anger in Nanping's heart a lot, so she can also salute calmly at this moment, and the "aunt" is also called out. A little more sincerity.

However, what Nanping didn't expect was that he lowered his status to please the old lady in exchange for a quiet room - the old lady didn't respond to her salute.

"Grandma!"

Nanping's anger that had just subsided rose again, she raised her head abruptly, and saw the old man in the main hall nodding his head up and down, and there was still a slight snoring sound during the period.

Um, what's the situation?
Not to mention that Nan Ping was stunned on the spot, even Xiao Nan, who was closest to the old lady, was a little confused - what's wrong with Grandma?
Mother Qiu reacted the fastest. She bent down to look at the old lady, and then raised her head with a strange expression. She glanced at everyone in the hall, and said silently with exaggerated mouth shape: "The old lady is asleep."

Nani?Fell asleep?
Nanping almost threw the burden in her hand on the old lady, she knelt down here and confessed her true feelings, but she threw it at a blind man with a wink, and he didn't see it at all.

This, what kind of statement is this?
Xiao Nan was also taken aback, she really didn't expect the old lady to be confused now, going to bed right after breakfast.

But now is not the time for her to be dazed. As the young lady of Rongshoutang, she is the host and cannot let the guests freeze there.

Realizing this, Xiao Nan hurriedly got up and walked to Nanping, and while stretching out his hand to pull her up, he explained in a low voice: "Don't blame Nanping, my grandma has been dozing off more and more since the beginning of summer. Sometimes I play double Lu fell asleep halfway through playing..."

Nanping pulled his lips stiffly, forced a smile, and said in a cold voice: "Isn't there something wrong with the old lady? The old man is getting old, and it is inevitable that he will suffer from many diseases. Qiao Mu, don't just take care of your own daughter. Throw the old lady aside and ignore it." The stubborn temper finally couldn't be suppressed, and broke out in front of Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan shook off Nanping's arm, sneered twice, "Nanping's words are so unreasonable, and you don't live in Cui's house, how do you know that I didn't take good care of the old lady? As early as I found out that something was wrong, I went to the palace to beg I invited Her Royal Highness, and specially invited two imperial physicians to stay in the Rongshou Hall, in order to take good care of the old lady. Well, it is getting late, you should go back earlier. The old lady is not comfortable sleeping like this, I have to Serve her to the dormitory, and I won’t see you off, go slowly!”

Nan Ping's words were harsh, and he accused Xiao Nan, the granddaughter-in-law, of not being filial to her grandmother.

The two princesses finally fulfilled the wish of some members of the Cui family, and started a face-to-face PK.

"Xiao Nan, do you dare to drive me away?"

Nan Ping threw the burden in his hand on the ground with all his strength, and the heavy burden hit the floor with a muffled 'dong' sound.Nan Ping didn't care at all, she grabbed Xiao Nan's arm, as if she wanted to settle accounts with Xiao Nan.

Seeing Yuzan and the others who were waiting on the sidelines, they hurried up to 'persuade the fight', but there was an exclamation from the main seat——

"Oh, what's the noise? It's so scary? Isn't it thunder? Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu..."

Xiao Nan hurriedly pushed Nanping away, looked up, but saw the old lady seemed to be awakened by fright, with a bit of panic in her sleepy eyes, calling for her all over the room.

"Grandma, what's the matter with you? Mother Su, go and invite Imperial Physician Fang here. Yulian, go and make some soothing tea for the old lady."

As soon as Xiao Nan ordered, Su's mother and others hurriedly responded, and hurried down to do errands.

After assigning the task, Xiao Nan flew to the old lady's side again, took her hand, and comforted her softly: "Grandma, I am here... There is no thunder outside, a little girl 'clumsy' knocked over The burden of Princess Nanping, this is..."

After reassuring for a while, the old lady calmed down. When she heard the name 'Princess Nanping', a look of confusion flashed across her old face, and she asked Xiao Nan blankly: "Qiao Mu, the burden of Princess Nanping." ? You mean that the Princess has come to our Rongshou Hall? Oh, why didn’t you say it earlier, so I can change into the court clothes to welcome the Princess.”

This time, not only Nanping Cui Sibo was dumbfounded, but even Xiao Nan was a little confused whether the old man was really confused or just pretending to be stupid - from what she said, she actually forgot the wedding of Nanping princess marrying Cui Sibo?

It was Qiu's mother who reacted quickly. She once again acted as a commentator, and said to the Nanping couple with a shame on her face: "Don't blame the princess and the gentleman, the old lady is already in her 80s, and her memory is not as good as before... To put it bluntly, it happened half a month ago, that is, seeing the little lady A Yuan, sometimes the old lady can't remember who this pink and white cute little lady is."

The corner of Xiao Nan's mouth twitched, well, during this period of time, the old lady's memory was indeed a bit bad, and she occasionally forgot some small things.But it's definitely not as serious as what Qiu's mother said, let alone selectively forgetting the marriage of Princess Nanping.

With the development of the matter to this point, Xiao Nan can basically conclude that the old lady is pretending to be confused.

However, Xiao Nan didn't mean to reveal half of it, on the contrary, she wanted to help the old lady to continue the play.

"Grandma, didn't I already tell you that Nanping is now the granddaughter-in-law of our Cui family. Last month, she married Cui Sibo, the eldest son of fourth uncle Cui Qing—"

The old lady interrupted her, and said even more confusedly: "Cui Sibo? Isn't he a boy of Cui Yang's family? How did he become Cui Qing's eldest son? Also, who is Cui Qing? I sound familiar with this name. Is it Cui Qing?" Yang's brother?"

Well, even Cui Qing's family was selectively 'forgotten' by the old lady.

This time, Cui Sibo felt something was wrong...
