The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 298 Precious Legacy ([-])

Cui Fang was getting old, and couldn't stand it after crying for a while, and finally, supported by his son, he came to Uncle Cui to apologize, and said that he was so stupid that he forgot that your husband was still on the street.

Uncle Cui didn't care. The fact that Cui Fang was left in Luoyang by his grandmother to guard the house meant that he was the old man's confidant. Now it was because of his grandmother that he lost his composure. How could he blame him.

Cui Fang wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then carefully asked about the situation on the road. Hearing that Mr. Cui Qilang had also come, he quickly saluted Cui Yabo, and said: "Sanlang is still busy repairing the ancestral hall in Anping Township on the outskirts of the city. We will not be able to return until the Stove Festival tomorrow."

At first, Cui Yabo heard that his father was still in the farm outside the city, so he thought about taking his wife and son out of the city to pay his respects to him, but then he heard that he would be back tomorrow, so he gave up his previous thoughts and decided to help Cui Youbo with his family first. The old lady's coffin has been placed, and it won't be too late to greet Aye when Aye returns tomorrow.

Under Cui Fang's guidance, the group soon arrived at Cui Li, where Cui's family was located.

Cui Yi, as the chief steward brought by Uncle Cui, exchanged a few words with Cui Fang briefly, and then took charge of the duties of commanding the servants, and assigned errands to a few stewards who could be used. There are those who unload the trucks, those who are responsible for checking luggage, those who are responsible for carrying, and those who are responsible for taking care of cattle and horses...

Whether it was the slaves who stayed behind in the ancestral house or the servants from the capital, they were all assigned to the corresponding stewards in an orderly manner, and they followed the stewards, each performing their duties and busy in an orderly manner.

Here, Uncle Cui has come to Xiao Nan's ox cart, helped Xiao Nan get off the cart, and then introduced Cui Fang to Xiao Nan.

Cui Fang knew that his new mistress was the daughter of the princess, so seeing her now, she hurriedly greeted her.

Xiao Nan hurriedly ordered someone to help him, and said softly: "Uncle Cui is someone my grandmother can use, and he is also an elderly person, so there is no need to be polite."

Cui Fang repeatedly said "should be", then pointed to a 30-year-old neat woman behind her, and replied to Xiao Nan: "Lady, this is the daughter-in-law of the old slave, you can just call her Lady Cui. The old lady Grace, let her be in charge of the house in Luoyang. Now that the lady is here, there is a lady in charge that you are used to beside you. Although she is not very capable, she can still help... the old lady, don’t give it to the lady salute?!"

Madam Cui did not wait for her father-in-law to finish speaking, she bowed her knees and saluted, and said softly: "I wish you well, Madam, it's been hard work for Madam to come all the way."

Xiao Nan took a brief look at Madam Cui, and saw that she was of medium build, wearing a plain mourning dress, and her clothes were sober, with no folds on the sleeves or skirt, she was a neat and careful person; her hair was combed neatly, She doesn't have any conspicuous accessories, but she is well-behaved; her appearance is average, with slightly thick lips, showing a bit of honesty.

Because Mrs. Cui lowered her head halfway, Xiao Nan couldn't see her eyes, so he couldn't make a more accurate judgment.

However, it shouldn't be incompetent people who can be valued by the old lady, and there must be merits.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan nodded slightly, and said, "Miss Cui, there is no need to be polite."

With that said, Xiao Nan pointed to Mama Qiu behind him, and said, "Mama Qiu is also an old man next to Granny, you should be familiar with each other, and from now on, Mama Qiu and Madam Cui will take care of the housework together."

After hearing this, Mrs. Cui hurriedly echoed: "Niang's aunt also served the old lady, and she is also a sister who is familiar with Qiu's mother. Even Nu, she also learned the rules from Qiu's mother for a while."

Xiao Nan smiled slightly and said, "It's even better if we are acquaintances."

After a pause, Xiao Nan turned his head and said to Qiu's mother: "Your Majesty and my habits and taboos, Qiu's mother also knows, wait a moment, you tell Madam Yu Cui to know."

Mother Qiu nodded hurriedly, "I would like to follow my lady's order."

Xiao Nan turned back to look at Mrs. Cui, and said: "Has the inner courtyard been tidied up? I brought another distinguished guest, later you order someone to tidy up the Orchid courtyard, and then arrange a few safe maidservants, um, Everything will be arranged according to the rules of the little lady."

Before coming to Luoyang, Xiao Nan ordered someone to send the floor plan of the houses here to Beijing.

The layout of Rongshou Hall in Luoyang is different from that in the capital, but a very standard courtyard structure: there is a door screen at the gate, behind the door screen is the gate, behind the gate is the middle gate, and the middle gate is equipped with a gate hall (that is, a guest house). Behind the middle gate is the main hall.

There are wing rooms on both sides of the main hall for temporary residence of relatives and friends.However, Cui's family is a mourning family, and the deceased was the only elder in the family, so the main hall and the east and west wing rooms were vacant to store the old lady's belongings.

Behind the main hall is the main courtyard, which is divided into halls, left and right ear rooms, and east and west wing rooms, which are the places where the owner lives in his daily life.

Several large or small courtyards surround the main courtyard, forming the inner courtyard.

Behind the inner courtyard are stables and servant houses.

There are four large and small courtyards surrounding the main courtyard, namely plum courtyard, orchid courtyard, bamboo courtyard and chrysanthemum courtyard.

Among them, the Orchid Court is located on the south side of the main courtyard, closest to the atrium.

Xiao Nan arranged for Zheng Mian to live in the Orchid Court just because it was more convenient for her to meet Zheng Qin who lives in the guest house.

As for the other courtyards, Xiao Nan also has arrangements, the main courtyard is the residence of her and Cui Youbo, and the two children live with them in the wing room.

Among the four small courtyards, the plum courtyard is on the north side, and Xiao Nan assigned it to the four maidservants including golden branches and jade leaves; the bamboo courtyard is on the east side, and is the closest to the main courtyard, and Xiao Nan converted it into a meeting hall for the housekeeper's wife For office use; the chrysanthemum courtyard is on the west side, temporarily idle, and Xiao Nan reserved it for relatives and friends who may come to visit.

Long before Xiao Nan set off, he wrote a letter to inform the manager here of the arrangement of the premises.

After Cui Fang received the letter, he immediately ordered his son and daughter-in-law to follow the wishes of the new mistress, tidy up the main courtyard in advance, rearrange the furniture according to Xiao Nan's preferences, and arrange the curtains and other things according to the rules of mourning The furnishings...everything was arranged well in advance to ensure that Cui Youbo and his wife could move in immediately after their arrival.

Sitting in Xi's car, Xiao Nan watched the surrounding courtyards through the window while listening to Mrs. Cui's report.

Walking to the main courtyard, Xiao Nan got out of the car, walked up the stairs to the hall, looked around, and was satisfied with the decorations, so he smiled and said to Mrs. Cui: "Well, it's not bad, I know that the people that grandma values ​​are all You can do it. Mrs. Cui and the servants in the family have worked hard, Mother Qiu, the monthly money of the servants in the family will be doubled this month, and Mrs. Cui will receive a purse."

Mother Qiu followed Xiao Nan all the time, after hearing this, she hurriedly wrote it down.

Mrs. Cui understands that the so-called purse is not just a purse, but a purse of silver nudes, which is definitely not a small reward.Busily bowed and thanked: "Thank you, lady."

Xiao Nan waved his hand, then turned around to look at the two children's room, and saw that they were well tidied up, so he ordered Yuhan to move things in with confidence.

In the atrium, Cui Youbo and Cui Yabo had already ordered people to park the coffin of the old lady, set up a temporary mourning hall, saluted and burnt incense. Then they called Cui Fang's son Cui Youde to ask about the situation in Luoyang. And the construction of Cui's ancestral hall and tomb.

Knowing that the tomb has been repaired and the old lady can be buried before the year, Uncle Cui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Mrs. Wu led a group of slaves to Rongkang Hall next door.

Rongkang Hall is nominally the property of three brothers Cui Ze, Cui Run, and Cui Hong, but in fact, since Cui Hong was sent to Luoyang by the old lady, the Cui family tacitly agreed that Luoyang Rongkang Hall was owned by Cui Run.

Originally, the old lady preferred Cui Zhongbo to come to Luoyang to be the patriarch, but Xiao Lu disagreed.

She felt that the old lady was too partial to the eldest and the second bedroom. Look, one is Xianggong and the other is Jingzhao. Even the eldest son of the second bedroom, the old lady arranged a patriarch.

There were only three of them, and Cui Hong didn't care about anything, and he had no future in his official career.Silang was born by the former lady. Although he became an official, Xiao Lu felt that he was not honored. The only one of their three households who was reused by the old lady was Cui Wu, the maidservant's son.

Xiao Lu quit. Although she is not smart, she also understands that once the family is separated, with the current situation of their third wife, they will definitely live the most miserable life in the future.

Therefore, Xiao Lu threatened the fact that she was forced to abort by the old lady and the eldest lady, and asked for a candidate to replace the patriarch - her husband has no hope of official career, so at least he wants to get a patriarch.Besides, Cui Zhongbo is good at genealogy, and her husband is better at it. How can there be any reason to surpass his uncle and let a young junior be the patriarch? !
The old lady didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Lu. Back then, for the sake of the stability of the third room, she did forcibly infuse Xiao Lu with herbal soup and forced Xiao Lu to have an abortion, but that was also asked for by Xiao Lu. She has no selfishness at all, even if she does it all over again, she will still make the same choice.

But Xiao Lu's mention of Cui Hong and the future of Sanfang caused the old lady to think deeply.

Yes, compared to Cui Ze and Cui Run, Cui Hong is indeed weaker. If he continues to be so elegant and comfortable, the entire Sanfang will decline in a few years. This is contrary to her plan to develop the entire Cui family .

After consulting Cui Hong's opinion, the old lady replaced the patriarch and sent Cui Hong to Luoyang.

And Cui Yabo and his wife, as the people who came to serve Cui Hong, naturally settled in the Xingyuan, the largest courtyard of Rongkang Hall besides the main courtyard on the central axis.

Looking at the apricot orchard, which is nearly twice the size of the Green Bamboo Garden, Mrs. Wu is even more sure of her decision.At the beginning, when she tried her best to persuade Mr. Lang to come to Luoyang, in a sense, she voluntarily gave up the right to inherit the property in the capital.

Wu's family is full of hope for the future. She believes that their family can live well in Luoyang.

After Cui Youbo finished asking, he sent Cui Yabo out of the Rongshou Hall, and then came to the main courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Nan dragged him to the dormitory.

"Lady, what's the matter?" Cui Youbo asked worriedly seeing Xiao Nan's expression was not right.

Xiao Nan shook his head, tightly held the key in his hand, and excitedly said to Uncle Cui: "Mr., do you know what grandma left for us? It's so precious, I, I really didn't expect that grandma would leave these It's all left to us..."
