The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 265 The Old Lady's Plan ([-])

Not only the Eldest Princess guessed like this, but many ladies in the capital were also wondering about Princess Gao Yang's changes.

What did you say?Princess Gao Yang suddenly became enlightened, and finally decided not to fight to the death with her husband's family, but to turn enemies into friends, reconcile with Fang Xiaoer, and then manage a happy life together? !
Are you kidding me? !
This is impossible!

The statement of 'Princess Gaoyang enlightened' is not believed by people who know the inside story like the princess, even a simple little girl like Princess Jinyang doesn't believe it.

Therefore, when Gao Yang held a high-profile banquet with Fang Xiaoer and his wife, the gossip in Beijing immediately shifted to Fang's family, and everyone began to eagerly discuss the matter of the proud princess and the useless son-in-law.

In fact, everyone really thought too much. Princess Gao Yang was only inspired by seeing the fate of Princess Nanping a few days ago.

Gao Yang felt that she and Nanping were actually very similar to a certain extent: neither of them liked the bondage of marriage and family, but liked to live a free and unrestrained life; There is only one so-called title.

However, in the capital, the princess and the princess are the most indispensable.

There are a lot of sisters of the first emperor, and several sisters of the sage, plus more than 20 daughters of the sage, the entire capital city is lined with princesses alone.

Not to mention those princesses and county owners.

Gao Yang's biological mother passed away early, although the queen treats all princes and princesses equally, she prefers those sons and daughters who abide by the rules and understand etiquette.

Pian Gaoyang has nothing to do with rules and etiquette. After marrying into Fang's family, he was at odds with his mother-in-law and husband. He was noisy all day long, which made the queen who didn't like her very much treat her even more coldly.

The sage does like Gao Yang, but it's just that, it's not a pet at all, and he won't love Gao Yang like he loves his son.

The aunt is strict and her own father is unreliable, Gao Yang feels that the only one she can rely on is herself.

Of course, for now, the power and contacts of the Fang family can still be used by her to help her brother fight for the throne.

That's right, seeing what happened to Nanping, Gao Yang couldn't help but think of himself... In order to avoid the fate of going to the nunnery to think about his mistakes in the future, Gao Yang decided to make a desperate effort to help the fourth brother to become a leader in the future. A saint, she can also be named the eldest princess because of her merits.

Borrowing the name of the Fang family to help the fourth brother recruit talents is the first step in Gao Yang's struggle, and it is also the beginning of her preparation to get involved in the government.

Just when Gaoyang was holding banquets everywhere with great fanfare, the cronies sent by the old lady to Luoyang came back, and at the same time brought back several men in their 50s and [-]s.

On this day, the old lady called the male family members to Rongshou hall again, and Xiao Nan was still honored to attend.

After everyone was seated, the old lady called over the men who had been invited from Luoyang and introduced them to her nephews at home one by one.

"This is Cui Xi from our long room,"

The old lady pointed to the leading man and introduced to everyone. I saw that the man was about 50 years old, with a dark face, a burly figure, and rough hands in saluting. At first glance, he looked like a farmer who had been farming all the year round.

Cui Xi's expression was somewhat reserved. Although he and the nobles present were the same great-grandfather, his great-grandfather was a bastard and was not valued by the family. When the family was separated, they only got a little property.After the war, when the land was passed on to him, there were only tens of acres left. Now, although he is a member of a family, his life is no different from that of an ordinary farmer.

Cui Ze is the leader of the Shui family, when he heard that the farmer in front of him was his cousin, he hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.

Seeing the dignified husband saluting with him, Cui Xi became even more nervous. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet, so he waved his hands foolishly and said, 'Don't dare not dare'.

Seeing Cui Xi's uncomfortable appearance, the old lady smiled slightly and called him to sit on her lower head.

Cui Xi is not used to sitting on his knees, but he saw that everyone in the room was kneeling and sitting neatly, so he had no choice but to kneel and sit on the single couch with their heads down, his posture was not standard.

After introducing Cui Xi, the old lady called a younger man and said to everyone: "This is Cui Ji from the second room, A Ji, this is your eldest cousin Cui Ze, second cousin Cui Run, third cousin... ..."

Compared with Cui Xi, Cui Ji has a farther relationship with Cui Ze and others. Cui Ji's great-great-great-grandfather is the younger brother of Cui Ze's great-grandfather, and is a distant cousin.

But Cui Ji looked much more dignified than Cui Xi, wearing a set of indigo lapel robes and a belt with jade locks around his waist, his complexion and demeanor looked a bit like a rich country gentleman in the field.

After saluting with all the cousins, Cui Ji knelt and sat beside Cui Xi according to the old lady's instructions.

The old lady continued to introduce, "This is Cui Huai from the third bedroom..."

Cui Huai is the same as Cui Ji, his great-great-grandfather is also the younger brother of Cui Ze's great-grandfather, who is about the same age as Cui Ze, about 60 years old.

Then came the last one, the old lady introduced: "This is Cui Yuan from the big house."

Cui Yuan is the youngest of the four, he looks about 40 years old, and he is also fair. He is dressed in a moon-white robe, and he has the temperament of a scholar.

He has the closest relationship with Cui Ze. His great-great-grandfather is the younger brother of Cui Ze's great-grandfather. When the family was separated, he also got a lot of family property. With the support of his elder brother, it has been passed down for several generations. In Fengying, all the children in the family are also studying, which is quite the ancient tradition of the Cui family's farming and studying the heirlooms.

Cui Ze also had the closest attitude towards him, and when he returned the gift, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.

Cui Yuan knelt next to Cui Huai in order, and the four of them knelt horizontally at the lower side of the main hall, forming a T-shape with Cui Ze and others lined up on both sides.

After introducing the four of them one by one, the old lady started to speak again: "I also told you a few days ago that we are going to rebuild the ancestral hall in the ancestral house in Luoyang, and we have also bought a sacrificial field. If we want to build the ancestral hall, we must build the ancestral hall in the ancestral hall. There are people taking care of them. Axi, Aji and other brothers are the same grandfather as you, and we are all a family, so I want to hand over the ancestral hall to your management."

Cui Xi and the others knew the purpose of this trip before they came, so they were not surprised to hear what the old lady said.

Cui Yuan, who was the most knowledgeable, came forward and politely said: "My aunt trusts her nephews, and they are all grateful. It's just that my nephews are ignorant and have limited abilities. I'm afraid they will fail my aunt's entrustment."

The old lady smiled and waved her hands, "It's not difficult to manage the ancestral hall, I believe you can do it. Well, as I said just now, we are all of the same family, so there is no need to say these polite words. I believe that you have this ability. Besides, I am not asking you to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself. I will also send some honest and capable Cui family slaves to help.

Hearing that the old lady spoke so sincerely, the four of them couldn't refuse anymore, and they all saluted and thanked her.

The old lady said again: "Our house has been away from home for dozens of years, and we have also become estranged from relatives in the clan. If I didn't think about rebuilding the ancestral hall and ordered my servants to go back to Luoyang, I would not know that some clansmen are living like this Hard work. Alas, this is also because I, as an aunt, don't care, which makes everyone feel wronged."

When Cui Xi and the others heard this, they all shook their heads sadly when they thought of those clansmen whose livelihood was difficult.

Their Cui family is the first surname in the Celestial Dynasty, but not all people surnamed Cui are extravagant and wealthy, and there are also poor households who have worked hard for a year and only have enough food and clothing.

Seeing the elder sister's sad words, the old man persuaded: "Sister, in the past we were far away from home, and we didn't know anything about the tribe. Now that we know it, let's just help the tribe well. Even if we did, it's okay I am incompetent as the head of the family, sister, don't feel sad or feel guilty."

The old lady nodded slowly, and said softly: "Well, what Dalang said is that I turned to the left. Just do as you said, since we want to rebuild the ancestral hall, we should gather all the clansmen and use The benefit of offering sacrifices to the fields is to establish family studies, so that all the children of the Cui family can study..."

Speaking of this, the old lady looked at Cui Yuan, "Ah Yuan, I know you are knowledgeable, so I will entrust you with the affairs of the clan."

Cui Yuan's eyes lit up, he knew that the old lady had chosen him to be the patriarch, maybe even the patriarch.

He hurriedly straightened up, bowed to the ground, and replied respectfully: "Son, I respectfully obey."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Axi, Aji, and Ahuai don't be idle, and help Ayuan take care of the ancestral hall and take care of the clansmen. Those who are eager to learn and make progress can be sent to the capital first, and handed over to you." Old Xianggong and Xianggong's training... There are only four branches of our lineage, we should unite as one, carry forward the Cui family, and comfort the spirit of your heavenly grandfather."

Cui Xi and others hurriedly saluted and responded: "Yes, my son will obey."

Rebuilding the ancestral hall, reorganizing the clan, bringing the clan together again, discovering talents, cultivating direct descendants... This is the longest-term plan of the old lady for the family.

She had discussed with the old man that instead of clinging to the direct clan and struggling to maintain a false name, it is better to develop her own strength and build them into a new family that far surpasses the direct clan.

The general direction has been established, and the rest is the specific details of the action. Cui Ze and Cui Run are all important officials of the court, so it is naturally impossible to follow these trivial matters from time to time.

The old lady called Cui Zhongbo and entrusted him with the responsibility of rebuilding the ancestral hall and moving the grave.

There is also a reason why she chose someone from the second room:
Cui Yanbo, as a direct son and grandson, has already reached the fourth rank of Beijing official. In the future, he will inherit the political ladder of the Cui family and become the next head of the family.

And Cui Zhongbo is the eldest son of Erfang, he has a deep research on genealogy, and the Cui family's ancestral precepts and family rules are even more familiar.Although he has entered the court as an official, he is not enthusiastic about his official career, so it is perfect for him to return to Luoyang to be the patriarch.

In addition to Cui Xi and the other four, Cui Xianbo from the third house was traveling with Cui Zhongbo. He was a concubine, failed to study, and had no hope of official career, but he was very good at managing business and managing money.

The old lady asked Cui Xianbo to go back to Luoyang because she also valued his specialty, and ordered him to buy and manage property for the clan, so as to help the poor clansman make a living.

After doing all this, the old lady finally let out a long sigh of relief... Phew, she can finally close her eyes with peace of mind!
