The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 253 Mansion Store
After Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo had an in-depth conversation, the relationship between the two became closer.

Especially Uncle Cui, he would go home on time every day after leaving the office, went to the main hall to greet the old lady, and then went back to the Weiwei Courtyard to play with his two children. down.

Once the 'parent-child time' is over, he will fully fulfill his promise to his wife - when something happens, he will never hide it from his wife.

Therefore, when the children are tired from playing, it will be the time for the Cui family to talk, uh, it can also be called 'gossip time'.

Cui Youbo not only told his wife the big and new things that happened in the yamen, or he heard about it, but also shared with his wife one by one the daily gossip about him and his colleagues.

After listening to Cui Youbo's daily gossip, Xiao Nan knew that the civil servants of Tang Dynasty also loved gossip so much, and cared so much about trivial matters.

Moreover, the gossip enthusiasm of these big men is no less than that of three aunts and six wives. Even the gossip about whose husband fell in love with a certain strange woman in a brothel, or whose wife killed her flirtatious husband with a kitchen knife... and so on, they You can also talk and hear it at the first time, and comment on it loudly.

As for Cui Youbo, maybe someone finally listened to his voice, and it was easy to catch Xiao Nan as an audience, which aroused his enthusiasm for the speech, and told Xiao Nan the comments of his colleagues in detail.

Xiao Nan sincerely welcomes this - she has another source of information, and it is a relatively advanced one.After all, the level of Dali Temple is placed there, and the "gossip objects" that you gentlemen pay attention to are mostly officials and dignitaries, and the gossip you hear is naturally related to officials and politics.

In order to get more information, every time Cui Youbo finished gossip, Xiao Nan would actively discuss and praise him at the right time. He only praised Cui Youbo so happily that he would be more enthusiastic and active when he wentssip again.

Xiao Nan is very satisfied with the improvement of their husband and wife relationship, but the only bad thing is that Cui Youbo seems to have forgotten that he has many beautiful concubines, and stays in the main room every day. Just... Xiao Nan doesn't like this kind of too close state very much.

She just gave birth to Changsheng, her body was seriously injured, and she didn't want to give birth again in a short time.

But Datang didn't have Yuting, and there was no condom, and traditional Chinese medicine decoctions would hurt the body to some extent, so it was not easy to use safe and secure contraception.

Xiao Nan was troubled by this for several days, he didn't even bother to ask about Bai's affairs, he just remembered to ask Yuzan, knowing that Wang You'an had found a scholar who failed the ranking, and now he has arranged for Bai's inn to stay.

As for the plan to fight back against the Liu family and Nanping, Xiao Nan has completed the most important step, and now he is only waiting for the results of the inspection.

God still favored Xiao Nan, of course it can also be said that Wang Youan was efficient in handling affairs, within a few days, news came.

And this news was not brought by Wang You'an, but from Cui Youbo's gossip.

In the evening of this day, Uncle Cui brought a few freshly baked snacks as usual, and went to deliver some to the old lady himself, and then he rushed over to bring the rest to Xiao Nan.

The two played with their son and daughter together for a while. After the two little ones got tired of playing and were taken to rest by the wet nurse, the husband and wife sat facing each other. There were several plates of snacks, fruits and two cups of tea soup on the dining table in the middle. , Cui Youbo's gossip time officially began.

"Well, this 'Flower Cut Belly' tastes really good. Although the workmanship is not as exquisite as our cook's, it tastes better."

Cui Youbo took a piece of snack with silver chopsticks, took a small bite, chewed carefully, and praised with satisfaction.

"The signature rice cake of Jin's Cake Shop is naturally unique," Xiao Nan also tasted a piece and said with a smile.

"Speaking of signboards, a major event happened in the capital today. Someone went to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint, saying that a mansion store had illegally lent loans, and the man in the mansion store had already killed a person in order to collect the debt. The family of the sufferer was extremely angry. Come on, I asked many neighbors to go to Xinshi to smash down the signboard of the mansion shop."

Cui Youbo has no love for sweets, the cakes he buys every day are also given to his grandma and wife, this 'flower cut belly' is delicious, he only ate one piece and then stopped.

Mansion?

Xiao Nan's heart moved, and he thought to himself, could it be that Wang You'an has already succeeded?
Deliberately pretending to be casual, Xiao Nan asked casually: "Oh? Whose business is so ignorant?"

The businessmen who do business in the capital are very smart and know what kind of business can be done and what kind of business can't be done.If you choose one badly, it is not just as simple as losing money and going bankrupt, but in serious cases, you will even die.

Business like usury was a legal business in the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court itself lent money, and the interest was not low, so private lending was not prohibited.

But no matter how legitimate the business is, the imperial court also has regulations on it. The most important regulation is the regulation on interest. If it is lower than the amount stipulated by the imperial court, everything will be fine.If it exceeds, then you have to be mentally prepared to be arrested and sent to the Yamen.

Picking up the teacup, Cui Youbo said in the tone of a bystander: "I don't know whose business it is, but I heard from Wang Lang that the shopkeeper of that mansion shop is a monk who has returned to vulgarity. Very bad, relying on his good looks, he hangs around brothels and restaurants all day, and even attracts orchids to fool around at night..."

While talking, Cui Youbo shook his head in disdain, as if he was talking about a scum.The old man forgot that a few months ago, he had been so flirtatious.

Xiao Nan complained in his heart, but his face showed a look of surprise: "He, monk? A monk can also relapse, and can he still do business?"

Seeing his wife's expression of disbelief, Cui Youbo was very pleased. He took two sips of the tea soup and said with a smile, "My lady doesn't believe it either? Hehe, when I first heard what Ma Sizhi said, I also thought it was unbelievable. Tsk tsk, it's even weirder." It’s still in the future, I heard that this monk has more than one mansion, there are hundreds of mansions in Nanshi, Xinshi, and East and West.”

Xiao Nan still had an expression of astonishment that he couldn't imagine, and continued to ask: "Since the monk is the owner of the shop, did the officials take him to the Yamen?"

If this 'Hua Monk' doesn't go to jail, how will her future plan proceed.

Cui Youbo put down the teacup and replied: "The man's life was forced to death by the debt collection of the mansion. As the owner of the mansion, the monk must be held accountable, so he has already been imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion's prison at this moment."

After all, it has nothing to do with him, Cui Youbo made a few simple comments, and then changed the topic to other aspects: "By the way, I heard from Chen Sizhi that the price of grain in central Beijing suddenly increased, and that the four cities of South, Xin, East and West The official office of the government has posted a notice that wine shops in the capital are not allowed to make wine... Speaking of wine, do you have the Wang family's Diluchun stored?"

It has become an unspoken fact that the saint wants to use troops against Liaodong. Cui Youbo also understands why the imperial court ordered the wine shop to stop brewing new wine at this time-wine production costs food.

Cui Youbo is not good at drinking, but he likes the Diluchun brewed by his wife, and he also likes to have a drink or two when eating.Not to mention that he has a few alcoholic friends who have often asked him for alcohol since drinking the Deluchun he gave him.

Now that food is in short supply, everything must be prepared for war. No matter how good Diluchun is, he will stop brewing new wine. I hope that Wang Da has a business mind and saves it early.

Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback when he heard this, she didn't get any relevant news, and she didn't expect the ban to come so soon.

Then he replied with a smile: "There should be, the grain harvested last year has not been used up yet. Sir, has the imperial court ordered a ban on brewing new wine?" Xiao Nan showed a worried expression, "Aye was sent by the sage to Jiangnan to transport grain. , the food in the capital is in short supply again... Sir, is there going to be a war?"

Cui Youbo suppressed his smile and nodded seriously, "Well, although there is no definite news, there are indications that the sage is going to attack Liaodong. The lady doesn't know, the third uncle (referring to Cui Shouyi) has also been busy visiting several elders recently. Duke, although he is too old to go to the battlefield, but my uncle and two cousins ​​are young, it is a good opportunity to make contributions, if possible, I also hope that they will have the opportunity to go to Liaodong."

After all, it is a family, Rong An Tang can produce a few famous generals, the entire Cui family is also honored.

Xiao Nan was noncommittal, it wasn't that she looked at the few people in Bian Rong'antang, but in the Tang Dynasty where there were many famous generals, the three of Cui Hai and his son really couldn't make it to the stage.

If it wasn't for the friendship between the old lady and Princess Pingyang, even the Cui family and the Chai family would become good friends, and with Chai's son-in-law following Cui Shouyi, it would be impossible for this third uncle to become a general.As for Cui Hai, Cui Yibo, and Cui Erbo's father and son, they hadn't even been on the battlefield a few times, and their official positions were not high.

This was also the reason why after Cui Shouyi returned to the capital, the second old lady and Cui Hai went to the Hou's house all day long to seek camp - among the generals in Beijing, only Hou Junji had the closest relationship with Cui Shouyi.

Just like them... Liaodong definitely can't go, and if they go, whether they can come back alive is another matter.

Xiao Nan remembered very clearly that the sage in his previous life also went to conquer Liaodong. Although he won, the price he paid was extremely high.

Talking about important national affairs in plain language made the chat between the husband and wife a little heavy.The two of them also lost the interest to continue talking, and after washing up one after another, they went to the main bedroom to rest together.

Xiao Nan cared more about Didian than the war in Liaodong. She really wanted to know how Nanping would be angry and angry when she learned that her little monk had been thrown into prison.

"Oh!"

Nan Ping swept all the teacups on the small table to the ground, and the fine white porcelain tea utensils smashed to pieces.

"What? Yulang was taken away by the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion? What about the guards I left for him? Why didn't you protect him? Also, since there was something wrong with the mansion, why didn't Wu Xiqi come forward, but let my Yulang will take the blame!"

Nanping was already angry enough not being able to stay with Ailang all day long, but now that she heard such news, she was about to go berserk.

Several servant girls shrank aside in fright, and no one dared to come up to answer.

Mother Xing, Nanping's wet nurse, came forward to comfort her and said, "Princess, don't worry, the Jingzhao Mansion just arrested the person first, and didn't interrogate him. As long as we pass the word, the Jingzhao Mansion Even if you have the guts of an ambitious leopard, you don’t dare to embarrass the princess.”
