The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 297 Arrival
Zheng Qin, courtesy name Qi Guang, is a descendant of a side branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang. It is said (according to Zheng Qin of course) that Zheng Qin's great-grandfather and Mrs. Cui's great-grandfather of the Zheng family are brothers.No need to count back 500 years, the ancestors of the two families are brothers.

After memorizing a long series of genealogy, Uncle Cui has another cousin. Although the relationship is far away, he is A Niang's clansman after all, and he can barely be regarded as his relative.

It is said, of course, according to Zheng Qin, that his parents died early, and it was his grandfather who raised him. After he became weaker, his grandfather took the watchword "Qi Guang" for him, which has an obvious meaning, "Like light with the sun and the moon", I hope that Zheng Qin can revive his family and become a famous scholar and minister who will shine in the world.

In the second year of Zheng Qin's weak crown, his grandfather also went, and the family had no relatives except a younger sister.

With no relatives at home, Zheng Qin was also free and easy, and sold the few remaining properties, leaving only a dilapidated ancestral house, scraped together some money, and traveled around to study and increase his knowledge.

Fearing that the younger sister would not be taken care of at home, Zheng Qin took the younger sister and the two remaining servants with him, and the group of four began their journey of traveling around the world.

Cui Youbo admired such a clumsy cousin.

Among them, Zheng Qin's good looks played a big role, because Cui Youbo is a face control guy, and Zheng Qin sincerely said that the young man looks good, with handsome features and a slender figure, coupled with the flashing aura in his eyes from time to time, One can see that he is a handsome Pian Pian Yulang.

And Zheng Qin's conversation is not bad. After all, he is a family member. Although the family has declined, but the heritage is still there, and the books and notes of the ancestors are well preserved. Coupled with the poverty of the family, Zheng Qin's family is only left with the gentry. pride, and nostalgia for the glory of our ancestors.

For this reason, the grandfather of the Zheng family held the notes and letters of the ancestors all day long, and taught Zheng Qin with absolute ancient etiquette.

Seeing Zheng Qin being so elegant and eloquent, Cui Youbo liked it even more. When he heard that his cousin was going to visit famous people in Luoyang, he invited them to go with him.

As for whether Zheng Qin is a liar, Cui Youbo has no doubts about it.

The reason is also very simple, the gentry are not so easy to pretend, it is very difficult to pretend to be a family member to cheat.

Some people have ridiculed that the children of the gentry are good at pretending to be 13, but they have no money in their stomachs. They have never seen or heard of the life style of the gentry.

Cao Dada's ability to write masterpieces is also related to his extravagant aristocratic life in his early years.

Ancient times are not modern times. At that time, information was blocked, and a person who did not reach a certain class absolutely did not know the inside story of this class.

It’s not like modern times, there is Baidu for everything, those second and third generations of × like to show off their wealth and show off their wealth on the Internet, all kinds of luxury accessories and famous brands can be found on the Internet, and there are pictures and videos, even if they are not rich, You can also come up with a rough idea based on these materials.

In ancient times, without the life experience of a famous family, it was difficult to describe the daily life of a noble family.

It can be said that without the Cao family in Jiangning, Cao Da would probably only be able to write vulgar novels like "Feng Qiuluan" that Jia's mother picked wrong.

Having said so much, there is only one conclusion. In Datang, it is very difficult to pretend to be a nobleman if you are not a real family member.No need to deliberately ask questions, just casually talk about genealogy and genealogy, and the pretender can show his flaws.

Cui Youbo also found that in some respects, Zheng Qin and Liu Han were quite similar. Both of them came from famous families, but their families were in decline, and they could only rely on their own abilities to revive their families.

But Liu Han's family background is better than Zheng Qin's, and he has traveled more places, and his conversation is a bit more casual than Zheng Qin's.

On the other hand, Zheng Qin, although he maintained the pride of being a son of a family, but when facing Cui Youbo, it was inevitable that he would try to please him a little more.

Cui Youbo is not a rookie who just left the society, and he can guess Zheng Qin's thoughts to a certain extent.

However, he didn't care, as his wife said, what the Cui family lacked most was resources, whether it was money or contacts, they were all very rich, and the only thing they lacked were talents with good character and clean family background.

Cui Youbo has been a secretary for two years, and he has entered the officialdom, and he has goals for his future.

After he finished his filial piety for his grandma, he still had to resume his official career. By that time, having a few capable assistants by his side would be of great help to his career.

Zheng Qin must have a lot of careful thoughts when he sticks to himself, but Cui Youbo observes that Zheng Qin's character is not bad, his talents are good, and his background is not to be chosen. Only a "Zheng family" can make Zheng Qin stand out from the poor. There are many children.Such a talent has been recruited, and he will definitely be his right-hand man in the future.

As for Zheng Qin, after establishing a relationship with Cui Youbo, he is also considering how to go next.

With the relationship between the cousins ​​of the Cui family, the life problems between him and Zheng Xiaomei can be solved. This is not enough. What Zheng Qin wants is to revive the family and restore the glory of the Zheng family, not just to have food and clothing.

During the few days together, after talking with Cui Youbo, Zheng Qin found that although his cheap cousin was young, he already had experience in the officialdom, was able to talk about current affairs clearly, and was very clear about his future official career planning.

Knowing about Cui Youbo's ambition, Zheng Qin couldn't help thinking about it. For him, there are two ways to become an official, one is the imperial examination, and the other is recommendation.

Zheng Qin thought about it. It is not impossible for him to take the imperial examination, but after passing the examination of the bridegroom, he will not be able to become an official immediately, but will still have to go through the selection process of the Ministry of Officials.

The so-called Quanxuan, it doesn't matter if he is still connected, even if he wins the first place in the imperial examination, he may still have no official position.

This is not what Zheng Qin wants. He wants to be an official, he wants to be Jiuqing like his ancestors, and he wants to be a prime minister in Zhongshu.

If he didn't take the imperial examination, he would only be recommended. Except for his last name, he didn't have any relatives and friends. At the beginning, he planned to go to Beijing to follow Cui Xianggong's footsteps, but that was just his wishful thinking.

Because Zheng Qin knew very well that his family relationship with Mrs. Cui was too far away. If he tried to join him, he would only be regarded as a poor relative, and it was almost impossible to get a recommendation.

Now that he happened to meet Cui Youbo, it was a golden opportunity that fell from the sky. Look at Cui Youbo's identity, the grandson of the old man, the son of the man, the wife is the princess, the mother-in-law is the princess, and the father-in-law is Xiao Lang, a celebrity in the world. With a little effort, Cui Youbo's future can't be missed.

And he will benefit from following Cui Youbo.

His ancestors were members of the ancestors of a certain noble family, from a small clerk to a generation of powerful ministers... He decided that even if he was just a staff member, he would follow Cui Youbo.

Here Zheng Qin and Cui Youbo both have their own plans, and the conversation between the two is quite harmonious. People who don't know it will definitely think that the two are cousins ​​who have reunited after a long absence.

In the bullock cart on the other side, Xiao Nan was also looking at Zheng Qin's younger sister, Zheng Mian.

The young lady was not very old, she said she was 13 years old, but Xiao Nan looked only eleven or twelve years old.

A girl of this age will be a child who has not graduated from primary school in future generations, but Zheng Mian has been traveling with her brother for a year, and from her chatting, Xiao Nan speculates that the two brothers and sisters are the same Part of the travel expenses in the past year was actually earned by Zheng Mian's brocade and embroidery.

Zheng Mian's grandmother, who was born in the Lu family of Wu County, was quite good at female craftsmen. Zheng Mian learned brocade weaving and embroidery from her grandmother.When I first learned it, I just regarded it as a talent, a small item in Zheng Mian's curriculum, but unexpectedly, it became the source of income for their brothers and sisters.

The grandmother of the Zheng family raised Zheng Mian very carefully, as if she was different from her own old man. Grandmother Zheng gave Zheng Mian all the talents that a noble daughter of the family must learn: female workers, cooking, singing and dancing, horse riding... Although Not proficient in everything, but Zheng Mian knows a little bit about everything.

Especially female workers and piano art, Zheng Mian is the best.

After listening to the little lady's soft-spoken narration, Xiao Nan looked at Zheng Mian even more earnestly, tsk tsk, she was just thinking about how to help her daughter find a female wife who is both talented and educated, and has a good family background. A Zheng Mian.

Xiao Nan doesn't like the Zheng family, but it doesn't mean he hates everyone who is related to the Zheng family.

Zheng Mian is also an elegant and sensible girl. Just because she is willing to work hard to earn money to support her brother, it can be seen that the little lady of the Zheng family has a very reliable character.

Xiao Nan took a fancy to the talent of the little girl, and he also agreed with Cui Youbo's decision to invite the Zheng brothers and sisters to live in Luoyang.

On the way, Xiao Nan invited Zheng Mian into his ox cart affectionately, while inquiring about the details of the two brothers and sisters, he also got closer to the little girl, trying to abduct his daughter as a good teacher and friend back home as soon as possible.

Xiao Nan's efforts were not in vain, or the brothers and sisters of the Zheng family decided to live in Cui's house after observation and discussion. Anyway, when the team arrived in Luoyang, Xiao Nan and Zheng Mian had already become a pair of very close sisters-in-law ( Cousin and cousin).

On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, Cui Youbo's family finally arrived in Luoyang after a journey of nearly 20 days.

Luoyang is the same as Chang'an, the urban area is also divided into various squares, the Cui family is located in the Huaqing square near the imperial city, the area is slightly smaller than the Cui house in the capital, accounting for about one fifth of the entire square.Although the area is smaller, the layout is similar. It is also divided into three halls. Rongshou Hall is on the east side, Rongkang Hall is in the middle, and Rong'an Hall is on the west side. The three halls are connected together, and it looks like a large and small courtyard from a distance. Huge buildings.

The steward of Luoyang Rongshoutang had received Cui Youbo's letter a long time ago, and sent people to wait at the gates of several cities every day. Today, he got the news that Mr. Lang had already entered the city, so he hurriedly took his servants and trilogy with him. Come and meet.

"Old slave Cui Fang, meet your lord!"

Cui Fang was about 50 years old. When he saw Uncle Cui, who was dressed in mourning, he got off his horse and knelt down, touching his head and saluting.

Cui Youbo knew that this person was an old man that the old lady needed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Cui Fang up, "Uncle Cui, you don't need to be polite, get up quickly."

Cui Fang and Uncle Cui talked a few words, then he only glanced at the coffin in the middle of the convoy. Seeing that he was thinking about Grandma, Cui Youbo felt comforted, pointed to the frame, and said softly: "Grandma, Grandma's coffin is behind, Uncle Cui After following Grandma for decades, go and say hello to Grandma too!"

Cui Fang bowed gratefully, then staggered towards the coffin, and after a while, he remembered the suppressed hoarse cry: "Woo, old lady..."
