The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 266

Just as Cui Qing guessed, the Trident Cui family had no way to deal with the sudden tough branch of the Duplex Cui family.

The lords who were in charge of the family over there closed the door and discussed for a long time, and finally decided to allow Cui Sanniang to move the grave, but the matter of the division of the clan was not allowed to be mentioned again, let alone the division of the genealogy.

For such a result, the old lady and the old man had already thought about it, and their siblings couldn't help but smile when they heard the reply from the steward sent by Sanji Cui's family.

In fact, this is the result they want. After all, the Cui family of Sanji is the main family of the direct clan, so it is not good to have too much trouble with them.

After all, their dual-phase Cui family is a family of mixed officialdom, and what they pay attention to is to work hard to weave a network to form good relationships, rather than to sow hatred everywhere.

The old lady discussed with the old man, as long as the Sanji Cui family doesn't go too far, they are willing to help within the scope of their ability. .

But the premise is that the Trident Cui family can no longer rely on the patriarchal clan to dictate to the Duoxiang Cui family.

Things like Cui Qing will not be allowed to happen in the future.

The old lady thought about her words and told the manager what she meant.

The steward was overjoyed when he heard the old lady say that this side would still help the family. As for the request made here, he directly accepted it for the head of the family.

As for Cui Qing, the steward didn't take it to heart at all.

It's not that the steward made his own decisions, but that before he came, the Patriarch had carefully instructed him, and gave him the bottom line of the Trident Cui family, telling him that as long as the bottom line was not exceeded, all requests made by the Duoxiang Cui family would be acceptable. agree to come down.

Now that people have raised conditions, which are much higher than the 'bottom line', the manager is not a fool, so there is no reason why he should not agree.

After dismissing the steward, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a gratified smile: "Okay, this matter is finally over, so I can rest assured."

The old man was very ominous when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Sister, you, you—"

My sister once said that the reason why old people live so long is because they have something to worry about, and they are reluctant to close their eyes.Now that the only thing that could hold back my sister has been resolved, does that mean my sister?

No, sister has suffered all her life for the sake of the family, he can't let sister leave like this.

Seeing the anxious look of the elder brother, the old lady felt very hot in her heart, and put her hand full of age spots on the back of the elder brother's hand, she said softly: "Don't worry, I'm still in good health, I can last a couple of days Years. Besides, I still want to see Yan Bo enter the Ministry of Education, how can I leave easily?"

The old man nodded again and again, "Enen, there are still many things in our family that need my sister to worry about, sister, please don't leave me and Erlang behind."

The old lady knew very well that her days were numbered, but seeing the white-haired elder brother with eyes full of admiration, she couldn't bear to tell him the truth for a while, so she only comforted him against her will.

In fact, not only the old lady, Cui Youbo and his wife also felt that the old lady's mental state was getting worse and worse.

Many times, the old lady can fall asleep while talking, and her memory is not as good as before, especially what happened recently, she can forget it when she turns her face.

Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo invited several imperial physicians one after another. The imperial physicians checked the pulse carefully, and they all said that the old lady was not sick, but that as people got older, the functions of body organs began to naturally age and decline.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural phenomena, and the imperial physicians have no choice but to tell Cui Youbo and his wife to try their best to satisfy the old man's requirements, so that her remaining days will be more comfortable.

In this regard, Cui Youbo cried behind the old lady's back several times, and when he had time, he was busy searching for medical classics to see if there were any secret recipes that could prolong the old lady's life.

Xiao Nan discussed with Cui Youbo, and took out the Xiaonanshan fruits and vegetables rewarded by the palace from Cui Lingping's mouth, and sent them all to the old lady.

Xiao Nan sincerely respects this old man, and often mixes fruits and vegetables from Taoyuan into it for the old lady to eat.

I don't know if Cui Youbo and his wife's careful service made the old lady feel extra comfortable, or if the fruits and vegetables played a role, the old lady survived this summer again.

In a blink of an eye, the time has entered July, and the saint has led an army to conquer Liaodong, leaving the prince to supervise the country.

Many military generals and honored disciples in the capital also followed the sage, and the bustling capital became quiet. Even the princes, grandchildren, and noble ladies who liked to play, ride and shoot the most put away their whips, honestly. stay at home.

Since Xiao Nan gave birth to Changsheng, he has been recuperating at home.

After entering the summer, she couldn't bear the extreme heat, and she didn't like to go out. She took her two children all day long, either going to the main hall to make the old lady happy, or escaping the heat in the flowing water pavilion or greenhouse on the back mountain of Rongshou Hall.

Don't look at Xiao Nan not going out, but her news is not blocked.

For one thing, Cui Youbo would bring home gossip from the yamen every day to share with her;
Secondly, her Xue Niangzi often shuttles between the princess mansion and historians. There is a small broadcasting station called Princess Aniang and Auntie. Xiao Nan stays at home and knows all kinds of movements in the capital.

On this day, Xiao Nan coaxed his two sons and daughters to take a nap in the greenhouse, and the children had just fallen asleep when someone asked to see them outside.

Xiao Nan covered the children with a small silk quilt, and then called people in.

The person who came was Yu Ye, and she was wearing a ponytail in her hair, and she was wearing a ruby-inlaid red gold hollowed-out buyao worn by Xiao Nanshang. She was wearing a lake-green waist-length dress and a white tulle wide-sleeved shirt. , the whole person looks very clean and refreshing.

"Slave please the princess."

Yu Ye saluted Xiao Nan respectfully.

Xiao Nan raised his hand, "Get up, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Yu Ye got up and turned her head to look left and right, seeing that there were no outsiders, she moved closer to Xiao Nan, and whispered back: "Reporting to the Princess, it's A Jin."

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, Ah Jin?What's wrong with her?
For this woman who has long been in the past tense, if Cui Lingping hadn't reminded her, Xiao Nan would have almost forgotten her.

Not only Xiao Nan, I'm afraid Cui Youbo has long forgotten about this woman, right?

Even if he occasionally remembered, Cui Youbo only went to talk to A Jin, and never stayed overnight with A Jin.

It's strange to say that after Bai's incident, Cui Youbo seemed to have lost interest in those concubines, and went to the main room to report almost every day.Sometimes it's not for making out with the wife, the couple often lie together and just chat.

Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Xiao Nan's aunt comes, Cui Youbo will come back and talk to her for a while before going to spend the night with a concubine.

Of course, this 'concubine' does not include A Jin—rather she has restored her former appearance, but compared to the more beautiful maidservants such as gold branches and jade leaves, A Jin is still not competitive enough.

Among the four pretty maidservants, Cui Youbo prefers the bookish Yuye, and spends more nights in Yuye's room than other concubines.

Although Yu Ye was favored, she did not forget her identity and her real master because of this, and she did not forget the task entrusted to her by her master - to keep an eye on Mr. Lang and monitor A Jin.

Xiao Nan asked: "What's the matter with her? Did she run to see Xiao Langjun, or go to the study to pester him?"

Yuye replied: "Ling Ping's little Langjun has Zhao's mother watching over there, so Ajin can't get close at all. There are calligraphy and calligraphy in your place, so Ajin can't even enter the study room without being summoned by him."

Xiao Nan was puzzled, "Then what did she do?"

Yuye said: "Yesterday, I saw that Ajin went to Rongkang Hall. At that time, I was puzzled, so I quietly called the little maid. After asking, I found out that Ajin went to Qiwuyuan to look for the young lady of the Yang family."

Xiao Nan frowned slightly, rubbed his fingers on the pattern of the hidden pouch under his elbow, and asked, "A Jin went to find Yang Yu? Did you hear me right?"

These two people are totally incompatible, even if Yang Yu lived in Cui's house when he was a child, A Jin should not have been by Cui Youbo's side at that time, right?
Yuye shook her head again and again, "I also thought it was strange, so I waited under the window for a long time, until after A Jin came back, I quietly called the little maid who came to serve A Jin, and rewarded her with two hundred coins, then she let go and said It was A Jin’s elder brother Cui Dezhi who followed General Xue to Liaodong, and the young man of the Yang family also went to the battlefield, and I heard that he was also under General Xue’s command... A Jin used this to often go to Qiwuyuan to chat with the lady of the Yang family.”

Xiao Nan was surprised, "Such a coincidence?"

Yuye said: "No, the little maid said that at first the two of them were just talking about worrying about their elder brother. Later, Ajin often talked about the Lord with the little lady, and occasionally mentioned Lingping Xiaolang and Princess you. .”

Xiao Nan sneered, "Mention of me? Hehe, I'm afraid you're scolding me?"

This topic is too sensitive, Yu Ye dare not answer.

Xiao Nan continued to ask: "What about the young lady of the Yang family? Did you ever take the initiative to talk about your husband? Or ask about our Rongshou Hall?"

Although Cui Youbo has always emphasized that he only regards Yang Miao as his younger sister.

But Xiao Nan still couldn't let go, yes, Uncle Cui regarded Yang Mu as his younger sister, but what about Yang Mu?It is not necessary to regard Cui Youbo as an elder brother.

Moreover, there is the full support of the eldest lady behind Yang Xiao.

When mentioning the eldest lady, Xiao Nan asked again, "Ah Jin and Yang Yu are friends, does the eldest lady know?"

Yu Ye hurriedly said: "I heard from the little girl that the young lady of the Yang family has mentioned Lang Jun several times, and she also mentioned the story of growing up with him when she was a child. The young lady of the Yang family has also asked about our side. She has asked questions about who is in charge of the family, what is the relationship between the princess and the lord, how the old lady treats the princess, how well the young lady and the young lord look. As for the eldest lady, she should not I know about the friendship between A Jin and the lady of the Yang family. Because the eldest lady has been ill since the beginning of spring this year, she rarely goes out, and rarely asks about the lady of the Yang family."

Xiao Nan's brows frowned even tighter, and she knew that Yang Yu would definitely not simply regard Cui Youbo as an older brother.

"Princess, is this slave continuing to stare at Ajin?"

Seeing Xiao Nan lost in thought, Yu Ye waited for a long time before speaking in a low voice.

Xiao Nan came back to his senses, glanced at the respectful Yu Ye, and suddenly remembered something, she nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, you did a good job."

Saying that, Xiao Nan called Yuzan and ordered her to fetch a small white porcelain bottle and hand it to Yuye.

Yu Ye took the bottle in surprise, and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, don't worry, I will do my best for you."

Xiao Nan waved his hand, "Okay, there is no need to be polite, you can go down."

Yuye saluted again and again, and then happily left the greenhouse holding the white porcelain vase like a baby.

A gust of hot wind blew in from the open glass door, Xiao Nan was suffocated by the heat wave, and murmured: "It's going to blow up again..."
