The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 273 Concubine ([-])
Xiao Nan thought that Lord Hou came here uninvited, and would definitely cause trouble at her birthday banquet.

No, he just congratulated her with a smile, gave her a gift with his own hands, and went to chat with the familiar officials.

Seeing this scene, Ah Ming was a little surprised, pulled Xiao Nan's arm, and muttered in a low voice: "Huh? What's the purpose of this person? He came here for no reason, but didn't do anything. It's not like her usual way of doing things." .”

Xiao Nan didn't understand either.

However, Lord Hou was willing to settle down, and did not spoil the peaceful atmosphere of her birthday banquet. Xiao Nan was already very satisfied, so she didn't think too much about it, and continued to shuttle among the guests with a soft smile on her face.

The second wife, Liu Shi, was very unhappy. She looked at Cui Wei Qiaoxiao and chatted with the visitors with cold eyes, her cold gaze almost wanted to poke a few holes in Cui Wei's graceful figure.

It was this heartbroken concubine who took advantage of her absence in Beijing to snatch her own aunt's position as concubine.

Cui Zhi is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, and also her most proud and beloved child, but now she passed away at a young age. Cui Wei, as Cui Zhi's biological sister, does not say that she takes good care of her elder sister when she is sick, but Taking the opportunity to seduce her brother-in-law, she attempted to step on her sister's shoulders to gain power.

My precious daughter was calculated and trampled on, and my grandson and granddaughter will call this lowly maidservant to be their mother in the future (in Liu's eyes, a concubine and a concubine are the same as slaves and maidservants)... Before Liu's return to Beijing, she heard She was so angry at the time about the bad news. If she hadn't been worried that her husband would have no one to take care of her, she would have rushed back to Beijing immediately to 'teach' the concubine Cui Wei.

What Liu Shi didn't even expect was that her husband's Jinyang Inspector had done a good job and was suddenly transferred back to the capital, saying that the term of office had expired and his grades were all excellent, the sage wanted to promote her husband.

promoted?No wonder!
One is a feudal official with real power, and the other is the Jingzhao Mansion, which is famous but has no power and is oppressed by many powerful people. If you think about it with your toes, you know that there is a better future.

Fortunately, there was no popular saying in the Tang Dynasty, "Three lives are unlucky, and the magistrate is attached to Guo; three lives are evil, and Guo's provincial capital is attached; evil is full, and Guo's capital is attached." Otherwise, the Liu family would definitely vote for a hundred votes. up.

Mrs. Liu is not an ignorant woman. Her husband has been an official for many years. She has a close relationship with various officials and family members, and her knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary housewives.If she didn't even know what "rising brightly and falling darkly" was, she would have been an official lady for so many years in vain.After receiving the transfer order from the Ministry of Officials, the Liu family immediately sent someone back to the capital to investigate, wanting to know whose way her husband was blocking, and was being tricked like this.

At the same time, Cui Run also wrote to his father and brother to ask if there were any changes in Beijing.After all, he has been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, and he thinks far more far than Liu's.

The husband and wife each had their own news channels, and it didn't take long for both of them to get a reply.

The news that Mrs. Liu got was that the couple didn't offend any nobleman, it was her careless bastard Cui Huibo who really caused the trouble.

According to reports from Liu's confidantes who stayed in Beijing, Cui Huibo and his wife have been very crazy since their parents left Beijing. The princess got mixed up and opened some kind of mansion with a Hu merchant, but in the end he didn't make much money, but caused a lot of trouble, and was sued by a group of farm slaves to the government...

Liu's confidant also said that it was this mansion that really angered the nobleman. The nobleman said that the reason why Xiaoliu's lack of publicity is simply that there is no one to discipline him. Discipline a little daughter-in-law, thinking that Xiao Liu still has her parents-in-law, why not transfer her parents-in-law back to Beijing, and discipline this young couple who have no rules in their eyes.

Hearing that her husband was actually involved by the unworthy concubine and his wife, Mrs. Liu was so angry that she passed out, beat the bed vigorously after waking up, and said that after returning to Beijing, she would teach Cui Huibo and his wife a lesson.

On the other side, Cui Run received letters from his father and elder brother respectively. In the letters, both father and brother vaguely mentioned the wind direction in central Beijing and the saint's plan to conquer Liaodong himself, reminding Cui Run without any trace that Jinyang is the capital of the north. It's too conspicuous for him to stay there, so it's better to transfer back to the capital.

After reading the letter from his father and brother, Cui Run pondered for a long time alone in the study, and finally figured it out, and happily returned to Beijing with his family.

On the other hand, Mrs. Liu was full of anger. As soon as she returned to the capital, her house had not been tidied up, so she started her "training" plan: Mrs. Liu's daily morning and evening appointments are inevitable, and serving her mother-in-law's meals is also a must. Every meal is a must. In addition, Mrs. Liu ordered Xiao Liushi to "serve the sick" in front of her bed because she was not feeling well due to the hard work of the journey.

After two months, Xiao Liu's whole body became thinner, her eye sockets were sunken, she seemed to be suffering from some serious illness, and she completely lost her former elegance and carefreeness.

But Mrs. Liu didn't let Daoxiangyuan go. Mrs. Liu was treated to be honest for the time being, and Mrs. Liu aimed at Cui Huibo again.

He ordered his confidants to investigate the details of Cui's restaurant carefully, and after obtaining the evidence of Cui Huibo's shareholding, the Liu family directly wanted to confiscate Cui's restaurant in the name of "parents are present, selfless wealth".

This time, Cui Huibo and his wife almost went crazy, they almost got into an argument with their aunt and brother on the spot.

It was Xiaoliu who endured it, dragged her husband back to Daoxiangyuan, quietly found her younger brother Liu Si'an, and asked Liu Si'an to come and make a noise with the second wife, saying that the Cui's wine shop was his property, and the Cui family could not use their power to bully others and usurp the private property of ordinary people at will. .

After a lot of noise, Xiaoliu's couple finally kept the restaurant, but they could no longer use the name of 'Cui'.

The second wife said that since it is the property of the Liu family, there is no reason to use the Cui family as the banner.

In desperation, the Xiaoliu family had no choice but to change the name of Cui's restaurant to "Liu's restaurant", completely losing the umbrella of "Cui's".

Liu's is not finished yet, she can't confiscate the property of Daoxiangyuan, but she can let the housekeeper go to Chongrenfang to send a message to Wuhou, and tell Wuhou directly: Liu's restaurant has nothing to do with Cui's family, if there is any problem, don't come to find it The Cui family said something.

Those who can work in the capital are clever. When those Marquis Wu heard that the most popular restaurant had nothing to do with the Duoxiang Cui family, they immediately made a plan—go to the restaurant to drink every three to five days, and every time On credit, every time the debt is owed, it will not be repaid!

The wine shop was messed up, and Xiaoliu and his wife were so anxious that a string of blisters appeared on their mouths, but there was still nothing they could do.

Seeing the embarrassment of the two couples, Liu Shi finally let out a breath of anger.

Originally, the Liu family wanted to continue training Cui Wei, but the old lady had already sent the most stern mother of the Cui family to detain Cui Wei in the yard to learn the rules.

Seeing that the old lady made a move, Mrs. Liu couldn't intervene anymore, so she had to let Cui Wei go temporarily.

But at this moment, Liu Shi saw Cui Wei, who was supposed to be locked up in the yard to learn the rules, suddenly appeared at Xiao Nan's birthday banquet, and also mixed with the Hou family who the old lady had explicitly forbidden to associate with. Will was ignited again.

Mrs. Liu called her close mother, Mrs. Feng, and whispered a few words.

Mother Feng nodded while listening, and after Liu's explanation, she quietly left the banquet.

Half an hour later, Mother Feng sneaked in again, found Mrs. Liu, and replied in a low voice: "I've checked, it's Liu Niangzi pleading with the two mothers, and the two mothers thought it was the princess's birthday banquet. Only then did I open the door and allow Sanniang to go out."

Mrs. Liu looked coldly at Cui Wei, who was chatting and joking not far away, and asked coldly, "Huh, who am I? It turns out to be our sixth lady. She really is a good sister-in-law who loves my sister-in-law." Koyanagi's 'training' is not strong enough, they still have the energy to do these tricks.

Mother Feng saw that Liu's face was not right, and even this hot-tempered and straightforward mistress became angry again. She didn't dare to touch bad luck, so she quickly lowered her head and remained silent.

After a pause, Mrs. Liu asked again: "How did Sanniang and Junjun Hou know each other? I remember that Sanniang was learning the rules behind closed doors, so how could she have time to socialize?" Junjun Hou and the Cui family did not interact, unless it was intentional. The two never had a chance to get together.

Mother Feng hurriedly raised her head when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "I have heard about it. The servants said that when Sanniang was in Mrs. Yin's mansion that day, she met Junjun Hou who came to visit by chance. The two had a good chat. Sanniang went home After that, she still had correspondence with Lord Hou Jun."

Mrs. Liu nodded slowly, yes, Mrs. Yin is Concubine Yang's biological mother, and Hou Junjun's father and Mr. Lang are now very close to King Wu, so it is reasonable for her to visit Mrs. Yin.

Wait, that's not right, Mrs. Liu found a problem, and hurriedly asked: "Hasn't San Niang been learning the rules at home? Who passed the letter to her?"

Mrs. Liu has been married to the Cui family for 40 years, and she knows the old lady's temperament well, and knows that once she makes a move, she will never leave any loopholes.

It is said that Cui Wei's "safety" will learn the rules, and the mother sent by the old lady will strictly enforce them, let alone letters, even a talking starling will not be put in.

Mother Feng said: "This slave also asked about it. Those of us who stayed in Xiwuyuan said that every three to five days, Liu Niangzi would send a little maid to deliver some clothes and food to San Niang. in the clothes."

Cui Wei is just learning the rules, not going to jail, no matter how strict the two mothers are, it is not easy to search the little lady's underwear.

Liu's hand holding the handkerchief tightened suddenly, and said bitterly: "It's her again."

Mother Feng peeked at Mrs. Liu, as if she wanted to say something, but she was worried about being scolded, as if she was hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu asked lightly, "What's the matter? What else is there? Let's talk about it together!"

Mother Feng hurriedly said: "When I went to inquire about the news just now, I suddenly saw the mother in charge of the Rongshou Hall go to the backyard. It happened that I had some friendship with one of the mothers, so I asked. My concubine, A Jin, has another twisted mind, wanting to make things difficult for the princess today."

Mrs. Liu snorted lightly, "Hmph, they're all despicable things!"

As a big wife, she hates those lowly maidservants who seduce her lord the most. Cui Huibo and Cui Wei's aunts are careless, but fortunately they died early... Wait, concubine?

Liu's eyes lit up, and she finally thought of how to deal with Liu's family - the Cui family's family regulations do not allow concubines, but they did not say that they are not allowed to sleep with maids and maidservants, well, as a mother, she must care about the issue of her son's heirs !
