Chapter 257 Heli ([-])

In the afternoon, the old lady returned to the Rongshou Hall from the Princess Mansion, seeing the joyful smile lines on her brows and eyes, Xiao Nan guessed that her meeting with the Eldest Princess must be very pleasant.

Sure enough, in the evening, when Uncle Cui went to pay his respects to the old lady as usual, the old lady smiled and said: "I have already asked about the matter you entrusted to me. The eldest princess has a little granddaughter who was born last year. Being raised by the eldest princess's side, his appearance is nothing to say. I told the eldest princess about the situation of the Liu family boy, and the eldest princess thinks it's okay, and wants to meet him some time."

The old lady didn't say which eldest princess, but everyone in the Cui family knew that she was referring to the old lady's best friend and best friend, Princess Pingyang.

Hearing that it was the daughter of the Chai family, and that she was personally raised by the respected princess, Cui Youbo was very satisfied and relieved, and he was even more happy for his good brother.

Before the old lady finished speaking, Cui Youbo nodded again and again, "No problem, when is it convenient for the eldest princess, I will ask Brother Jun Zhi to prepare."

The old lady thought for a while and said, "In two days' time it will be the fifteenth day, and the eldest princess will take the young lady of the Chai family to Famen Temple to offer incense. At that time, you ask Liu Han to wait in the wing room behind the main hall."

"Okay, I'll tell Brother Junzhi tomorrow."

Cui Youbo happily accepted Liu Han's answer, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the old lady's slightly tired expression. He hurriedly asked with concern: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you tired during the day?"

After finishing speaking, Cui Youbo turned his head and greeted the little maid serving under the corridor, "Go, let Ada take my post to invite the imperial physician."

The old lady waved her hand, "You don't need to call the imperial doctor, I'm fine."

Mother Qiu understood what the old lady meant, and hurriedly winked at the little maid outside. The little maid was at a loss, and gave Cui Youbo a timid look, as if waiting for the final order.

Seeing this, Cui Youbo waved his hands, "Listen to the old lady."

The little servant girl responded, and went back to the door to kneel and sit down.

The old lady knew that Uncle Cui really cared about her, so she was very happy. She patted her grandson's arm, and said with a smile, "Hehe, I'm getting old, and I'm tired after walking a few steps. Grandma knows Dalang is filial. Don't worry, grandma sleeps." Get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow will be fine."

Cui Youbo carefully looked at the expression of the old lady, seeing that she was just tired and not sick, so he nodded slowly, "Okay, I will listen to grandma."

While talking, Xiao Nan brought his two children to the main hall, and as usual, the whole family ate dinner together.

In order for the old lady to rest earlier, Cui Youbo took his wife and children back to Weiwei Courtyard just after eating.

In the early morning of the next day, Cui Youbo, remembering the old lady's body, came to the main hall before going to the yamen, and asked in detail about the old lady's rest last night.

Hearing from Mother Qiu that everything is fine for the old lady, Uncle Cui went to work without waking up.

"Old lady, Mr. Lang is really filial to you!"

Mother Qiu sent Cui Youbo away, and when she returned to the dormitory, the old lady was already awake, so she repeated Cui Youbo's words just now, and finally praised with emotion.

The old lady sat up, took a sip of the bee sugar water brought by Mother Qiu, and said with a smile, "Well, Da Lang and Qiao Mu are good boys. I'm very relieved to entrust Rongshoutang to them."

He thought to himself, it seems that he really did not choose the wrong person, at first adopting Uncle Cui, it was more or less meant to appease Xiao Nan.But with the passage of time and Cui Youbo's transformation, she suddenly realized that Cui Youbo was the most suitable candidate, and he was very likely to be the future head of the Cui family.

This is the best way, the old lady secretly decided that after a hundred years, she can safely hand over Cui's real 'property' to Cui Youbo and his wife - a truly priceless property.

"By the way, after you've finished eating, go and call Erlang (referring to Cui Shouyi) and Saburo (referring to Cui Shouren)."

After drinking the honey syrup, the old lady got up, and while the maid was combing her hair, she caught a glimpse of Mother Qiu's profile in the bronze mirror, and explained something casually.

"Yes." Mother Qiu knelt behind the old lady, holding a sunflower-shaped bronze mirror in her hand, and was carefully adjusting the angle so that the old lady could see her bun.

After the old lady finished dressing, Xiao Nan brought two children to pay her respects.

A Yuan called Patriarch in a milky voice, while Chang Sheng passionately washed the old lady's face with saliva.

Seeing the lovely appearances of the two great-grandchildren, the old lady was in a very good mood, and when the two brothers Cui Shouren arrived, her face was still full of smiles.

Xiao Nan led the two children and greeted the two elders, and retreated knowingly.She is very clear that the rumors in Nanping are flying all over the sky recently, and even the Cui family's reputation has been affected. After being silent for so long, it's time for the three major bosses of the Cui family to take action.

Mother Qiu also retreated with all the maids and servants, and no one was left in the verandah.

In the huge main hall, there are only the old lady's three siblings.

"Sister, what does the eldest princess say?"

With no outsiders present, Cui Shouren was very direct.

"The war in Liaodong is inevitable. The only thing that is uncertain now is whether the sage will personally conquer."

The old lady went to visit Princess Pingyang in person, of course it was impossible just to help an outsider matchmaker.

Although Princess Pingyang is a woman, the prestige of her women's army is well known throughout the world. This reputation is not based on flattery, but on real swords and guns.Her prestige in the army has reached an unimaginable level. Even if she handed over the military power for more than ten years, she still has a great influence in the army.

Sometimes, the old lady guessed more than once that when the sage and the crown prince fought, the eldest princess did not remain neutral but favored one side, and now it is not sure who will sit on the throne.

Now the eldest princess is closing the door to thank the guests, but she still controls certain forces, and she knows the latest news of the palace and the sixteen guards of Nanya like the back of her hand.

"The sage wants to conquer Liaodong himself? Leave the prince to supervise the country?"

Cui Shouren stroked the beard on his chin, and although he spoke in a questioning tone, his tone was very firm.

"That's why Prince Xiao was sent to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and Erlang (referring to Cui Run) was also transferred back to the capital?"

Cui Shouyi was stunned, and then said again: "If you think about it this way, the sage wouldn't choose Duke Hou to be the general of the Eastern Expedition?!"

Jinyang is the place where Li Tanglong flourished. Before the sage finally decided to conquest himself, he replaced the governor of Taiyuan with his own.And the generals who lead the army are the most important, and they will not use the not-so-famous Hou Junji.

"Hmph, that's natural. Even if the saint chooses a young general as a striker, he won't let Hou Junji lead the troops."

The old lady gave the third brother a glance, and said coldly: "I said a long time ago, stay away from him, how did you do it? Hmm? Mrs. Liu and Ah Hai are ignorant. How old are you, you can't see Clear the situation?"

Cui Shouyi has long been used to being scolded by his sister, and now he won't feel embarrassed or awkward when she points her nose and scolds him. He smiled embarrassingly, and said, "What sister said is that I am not strict in discipline, and I will not discipline you in the future." Will."

The old lady gave her younger brother another look, but seeing that his beard and hair were all white, she couldn't help but feel distressed, alas, the third brother is getting old too.

Sighing silently, the old lady slowed down her voice and said, "I know that Ah Hai and the others haven't made up for the real shortage since they came back from the northwest, and they only throw themselves into the door when they are anxious."

There was no other way, Cui Shouren reserved excellent positions for Cui Hai, Cui Yibo, and Cui Erbo's father and son, but it was a pity that in order to calm down Cui Yanbo's matter, they gave up those positions to the Sanji Cui family.

Speaking of which, Cui Hai and the others also made sacrifices for the family.Maybe the three of them still felt that their family was unreliable, and decided to rely on themselves, so they found the Hou family.

So the old lady can't really blame them, on the contrary, she wants to find official positions for them: "Fortunately, the eldest princess agreed to my request... Ah Hai is the general of Qianniuwei Longwu, Yibo is the soldier of Jin's palace, Cao Canjun, and Erbo is the prince of Qian. Niu, the appointment of the Ministry of Officials will come down within three days."

Hearing this, Cui Shouyi hurriedly got up and thanked: "Thank you, sister, for these unworthy descendants, sister has taken care."

The old lady waved her hand, and repeatedly urged: "Tell them, do your job with your heart, and never interfere with other matters, especially the dispute between kings. If there is any violation, the ancestral hall will be directly expelled."

Cui Shouyi's heart trembled, and he raised his eyes to meet the sharp eyes of the old lady. He couldn't help but nodded vigorously, "Yes, I understand."

Cui Shouren saw that the atmosphere was tense, so he changed the subject and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will let Azedo take care of my younger brother and nephews. The third younger brother mentioned Arun just now, and I just received a letter from him. Said, in half a month, they will arrive in Beijing."

Cui Run, the governor of Taiyuan, has only been in power for three years, which is barely a term.Now that he is transferred back to the capital to be a Jingzhao, the rank remains the same, still from the third rank.However, because he was transferred from the local area to the capital, even if he was at the same level, he could still be considered a promotion.

Of course, the old lady understood the real reason for Cui Run's transfer, which was nothing more than to make way for the confidant of the saint.

Slowly twirling the beads, the old lady said: "It's good to come back, Mrs. Zheng is not in good health, Mrs. Wang is too young, so Mrs. Liu can help with housework when she comes back. Besides, Si Niang is getting married next year, Mrs. Liu is her aunt, and Mrs. Liu is her aunt. You should teach her some manners." The King of Shu is already ridiculous, and with Cui Wei who looks shrewd but is actually stupid, after the two get married, they may cause some troubles.

Cui Shouren understood what the old lady meant, nodded and said: "Well, what sister said is that although Si Niang is a concubine, she is also a daughter of the Cui family. If there is anything wrong with her, it will affect the reputation of the entire Cui family."

Having said that, Cui Shouren paused for a moment, and then said: "Speaking of reputation, sister, shouldn't there be an end to the matter of the princess of Nanping?!" At least before Cui Run takes over the Jingzhao Mansion, the monk dealt with.

The old lady thought for a while, and said: "Well, this matter must have been reported to the palace. The shortest is three to five days, and the longest is seven or eight days. Her Highness will definitely have a will. As for Nanping, I have told Her Highness that if or If she does something that insults Cui's reputation, the Cui family will definitely not tolerate her."

Cui Shouren murmured, "Let's make peace. Fortunately, there are no Cui family heirs in Nanping."

"What did Cui Qing and Cui Sibo say? They agreed to reconcile?"

Nanping's marriage was begged by Hepuyuan himself, and the old lady was afraid that they would be reluctant to part with this princess lady.

"It's okay to disagree, then get out of Cui's house!"
