The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 245

The old lady also thought of what Xiao Nan could have guessed. After hearing Mama Qiu's report, she sat cross-legged in the main hall alone, slowly twisting the prayer beads, but didn't say a word.

"Old lady, what do you think about this matter? The people of the Thanksgiving Temple are still waiting in the courtyard."

Mother Qiu waited for a long time, but she still didn't see any response from the old lady, so she leaned close to her ear and reminded her in a low voice.

"Huh~~~" The old lady took a long breath, and stopped twisting the beads. She pinched a piece of beads with her two fingers and rubbed them non-stop. After a long time, she said: "Send a message to Cui Ren, order him Gather twenty parts and divide them into two teams, one team will go to the Thanksgiving Temple to investigate carefully, and the other team will go to guard around the Shu Palace, and once you find any traces of Siniang, bring her back to me."

"Yes, old lady."

Mother Qiu finally waited for a reply, and her tense nerves finally relaxed. She realized that she still had no answer to her second question, so she continued to ask, "Then, the people in Thanksgiving Temple should—"

"Oh!"

The old lady put the beads on the small table, and said coldly: "The Cui family has incense offerings every month, and now the good San Niang went to worship the Buddha, but they lost them, what do you think I should do with them?!"

Seeing this, Mother Qiu knew that the old lady was really angry, and she couldn't help secretly regretting in her heart that she shouldn't have been scolded in front of the old lady for nothing for the benefit of that old nun, Huineng.

Shrinking her neck, Mother Qiu said repeatedly: "Yes, what the old lady said is absolutely true, this old slave will send them out."

The old lady thought for a while, then waved her hand, "Forget it, Sanniang has always been smart, and she is loved by her brother and sister-in-law. How can Huineng's generation take care of her. In this way, you pass on my words to Liulang and Liuniangzi, and order their husband and wife I personally went to the Thanksgiving Temple, and tied up all the maids and servants who served Sanniang... Huh, I sent them to the Thanksgiving Temple to let them serve Sanniang well. Now that Sanniang is gone, they still want to stay in peace. Nunnery?!"

Mother Qiu heard the meaning of the old lady's words. She suspected that Sanniang's "disappearance" was related to Liu Langjun and his wife, so she asked Liu Lang to interrogate the maidservants and mother-in-law.

In fact, regarding this point, the old lady was really right. Cui Wei's smooth escape from the Thanksgiving Temple was indeed related to Cui Liu.

A few months ago, the old lady suddenly sent Cui Wei to the Thanksgiving Temple in Changshoufang to worship the Buddha. Because of the old lady's absolute authority in the Cui family, Cui Liu and his wife didn't dare to ask what mistake Cui Wei made, so they were Exiled to the most desolate nunnery to think about the past, let alone plead for Cui Wei.

But Cui Liu and Cui Wei are brothers and sisters of the same mother after all, and he can't do anything else for Cui Wei. He can still do things like visit her in the Thanksgiving Temple occasionally and give her some food and money.

In addition, the reason why the business of Cui's restaurant is so booming is entirely because of Cui Wei's cooking recipes.Without Cui Wei, it would be impossible for Cui Liu to save so much money in just one year.

Whether based on family affection or interests, Cui Liu would visit Cui Wei every few days.

During the Chinese New Year, Cui Wei could not go back to Cui’s house to celebrate the New Year without the order of the old lady. Cui Liu felt that her sister was very pitiful, but she was alone in the lonely nunnery on such an important day, so she quietly sent Cui Wei two baskets of gold and A bag of silver locks.

And Cui Wei relied on the property Cui Liu sent to bribe the nuns who took care of her and asked them to help her find out the news.

As for the gold and silver red envelopes for the Chinese New Year, Cui Wei smashed open the gate of the Thanksgiving Temple with it, and escaped smoothly from the closely guarded nunnery.

However, as for the other circumstances, the facts later proved that the old lady guessed correctly - Cui Wei did not take advantage of the opportunity of the Cui family's daughters to go to the funeral to infiltrate the Shu Palace, but hid in Madam Yin's mansion in Changshoufang.

Speaking of Mrs. Yin, not many people in the capital have heard of it, but when it comes to her husband and daughter, everyone in the world knows.

Mrs. Yin's husband is a former pilgrim saint, and her woman is the former princess and the favorite concubine of the current saint——Yang.

It is said that when the new dynasty overthrew the previous dynasty, in order to consolidate the regime, the two generations of saints in the Li family tried their best to win over and appease the powerful families, and the drawn families also included some royal relatives from the previous dynasty.

For example, Concubine Wei, the eldest mother of Dingxiang County Lord, she is a widow, but she can still marry His Majesty Li Er as a concubine, and her rank is only lower than that of the queen's concubine. A large part of the reason is that she was born in Jingzhao Webster, Both father and grandfather were high officials;
Another example is Concubine Yang. She was a princess of the former dynasty, but she was able to marry the prince of the new dynasty. It must be said that there was no political consideration.

There is also Empress Xiao of the former dynasty, she was still able to provide for her life in the Tang Dynasty, so it is possible that she did not have the factor of the Xiao family to rely on.

Mrs. Yin did not receive such preferential treatment. Her family background was mediocre. If she hadn't had a daughter to take care of her, her life would not be as comfortable as it is now.

Speaking of this, I have to praise Cui Wei's ability. She is in the nunnery, but she can still inquire about the mansion of this Mrs. Yin, and go all the way to find it. What is even more incredible is that she got the old lady Because of this, the old lady's nephew and daughter-in-law brought her to the Shu Palace.

On the day of Cui Zhi's funeral, the old lady and Mrs. Wang couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Cui Wei appearing with Mrs. Yin's people.

However, no matter how unbelievable the people of the Cui family were, and no matter how gossipy the world looked at Cui Wei, Cui Wei successfully achieved her goal of making her debut in the Shu Palace.

In the end, Mrs. Yin made the decision, and Concubine Yang spoke to the sage and promised Cui Wei to the King of Shu as his second concubine.

As soon as Cui Zhi's funeral was over, the two held a funeral ceremony.

"Oh, what a farce, it made the Cui family lose face in front of all the aristocratic families."

The old lady couldn't hide her exhaustion sitting on the couch, holding the Buddhist beads in her hands, but her eyes were slightly cold.

Regarding this topic, it is really difficult for Xiao Nan to intervene, because the two mentioned by the old lady are her uncle and the other is her future aunt.

She understood what the old lady meant, but it meant that Cui Wei not only took the initiative to attack, but also exhausted her scheming in order to become the princess of Shu. She did not have the pride and restraint of a daughter of a family at all, just like no one wanted a daughter of the Cui family. I've seen all the jokes.

In fact, Xiao Nan felt that if the king of Shu was the crown prince or the king of Wei, let alone a concubine, even if he was a child, those aristocratic families would compete to marry their daughters to each other.

The reason why Cui Wei got ridiculed for getting the Cui family involved was nothing more than that the person she chose was too unbearable.

But in any case, Cui Wei's marriage has been settled, and it will be useless to sigh.

Xiao Nan hooked the corners of his lips, and directly changed the subject: "Grandma, I was confinement a few days ago, and I troubled my fourth sister to help manage the house for a while. Now that my confinement is over, it's better to let the fourth sister go back Take a break?"

The old lady also knew that no matter how depressed she was, she would not be able to change the reality, so she followed Xiao Nan's topic, nodded and said, "Well, Si Niang has really worked hard during this time. Qiao Mu, you sister-in-law, you should thank Si Niang well. .”

Xiao Nan nodded in agreement. She raised her eyes to look at the old lady's face, and said tentatively: "Grandma said yes, and I think so too. Speaking of thanking, I remembered one thing. I gave the three My younger sister met a few good gentlemen, and now the third younger sister's marriage is settled, how does the old lady arrange for the fourth younger sister and the eldest sister in Hepuyuan?"

Xiao Nan knew that if one only looked at Cui Heng himself, the old lady would definitely find her a good marriage, but with Cui Heng's unreliable aunt, the old lady might put the interests of the Cui family first. As for Cui Hengxing's happiness, it's hard to say.

In the past Xiao Nan was not familiar with Cui Heng, Xiao Nan had no objection to how the old lady arranged for her.But now that she owes a lot of favors to others, she can't sit idly by.

The old lady raised her eyebrows lightly, and glanced at Xiao Nan seemingly unintentionally, but her eyes shone brightly. She put the Buddhist beads back on her wrist, and said calmly: "I've already made up my mind about the one in Hepu Courtyard, but I still have to listen to you." Listen to Cui Qing's opinion. As for your fourth younger sister, at first I took a fancy to Lu Guogong's eldest grandson. With her prudence, she will definitely be a good clan wife. However, if you have a better candidate, you can also say so. Saburo and his wife choose carefully."

Isn't Lu Guogong the Cheng family?
Xiao Nan quickly opened the memory bank of his brain, searching for various information about the Cheng family, as well as the rise and fall of the Cheng family in the previous life.

After finding the relevant records, Xiao Nan must admit that the old lady's vision is really far-sighted.

Regardless of whether it is the official history or the past life lived by butterflies, Lu Guogong's branch has always been prosperous.Even in the official history, the Cheng family was only slightly affected by the purge after the empress ascended the throne.When Xuanzong arrived, Cheng Zhijie's grandson also became the general of Jinwu.

Not to mention that in the previous life, there was Empress Changsun sitting in town, and those Zhenguan veterans, except those who rebelled, all had prosperous families and prosperous descendants.

Marrying into the Cheng family is indeed a good choice.

However, this is just the old lady and her opinion, what Cui Heng thinks is the key.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan said with a smile: "The old lady has a good vision, and Cheng Gong's grandson is very good. However, at the Longevity Hundred Days Banquet the day before yesterday, my mother felt that the fourth sister was stable, and she was also asking about her. I didn’t know Grandma’s plan at the time, so I asked Grandma to help me—”

As he said that, Xiao Nan looked embarrassed, "It's all because I didn't think carefully. Grandma sees that I really care for Fourth Sister, so please don't be angry with me."

The old lady knew that Xiao Nan had other plans, but she didn't care too much about Cui Heng's marriage. If Xiao Nan could return the favor, the old lady would be happy and relaxed.She reached out and tapped Xiao Nan's forehead, pretending to be helpless and said: "You!"

Xiao Nan tilted his head to one side, deliberately showing a pained expression, which made the old lady laugh out loud.

At this time, Mother Qiu walked in with an anxious expression on her face.

"What happened?" The old lady frowned slightly and asked displeasedly.

"Going back to the old lady, the concierge came to report that there was a young lady in white at the door. The lady called herself, called herself,"

Qiu's mother peeked at Xiao Nan, but the words were still on her lips, but she couldn't speak.

"What do you call yourself? Mom just says."

Xiao Nan's heart tightened, he secretly thought it could be that woman, right? !
"The lady claims to be the lord's concubine, and now she has a child of the lord, please, please forgive me, let their mother and son come in!"

Mother Qiu summoned up her courage and finished speaking in one breath.

What?Is it really Bai's?
Xiao Nan's face was instantly stained with ink, and his whole body exuded a cold aura... It's like this again, she also made such a fuss in her previous life, but in this life she still dares... Damn it, really damn it!
