The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 300 Precious Legacy ([-])
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Stove Sacrifice Festival, the people in Luoyang City were busy offering sacrifices to the Stove God, and Cui Hong also returned to Huaqingfang from the farm outside the city.

Both Cui Youbo and Cui Yabo brought their wives and children to greet Cui Hong, and handed him the family letter written by their old husband and husband to Cui Hong.

After greeting each other, Cui Youbo's family and Cui Yabo's family took their seats, unconsciously looking at Cui Hong who hadn't seen him for several months.

This scrutiny doesn't matter, both Cui Youbo and Cui Yabo are keenly aware that Cui Hong has changed a lot compared to before he left Beijing.

Cui Hong is the most free-spirited celebrity in the Cui family, but his celebrity style is different from Xiao Jing: Xiao Jing exudes a casual, free-spirited celebrity temperament from the inside out, and is full of self-confidence and pride; But Cui Hong's elegance is somewhat dejected.

To put it bluntly, Cui Hong is a bit like some gentry at the end of Jin Dynasty, expensive but expensive, but weak in body and sluggish in spirit, just like an exquisitely carved golden silk toilet, which looks very flashy.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Cui Hong. He has lived under the shadow of two outstanding elder brothers since he was a child, and he does not need his elders to specially choose who is in the neighbor's house. Still a lot of pressure.

After growing up, he married a wife and had children, but his virtuous wife died early.

In desperation, Cui Hong continued to marry his petty step-wife Xiao Lu.

At the beginning, Cui Hong thought that Xiao Lu was straightforward and innocent, but at some point, Xiao Lu became extremely vulgar, babbling and pestering about trivial matters all day long, becoming more and more serious. Not on the table.

Outside, Cui Hong's official career is hopeless, and his reputation can't be compared with his two elder brothers, let alone surpassed; at home, Cui Hong has a vulgar woman who can't get along with him, and the family is disturbed and can't be peaceful.

Under the pressure of both inside and outside, Cui Hong simply found another way and took an unusual path. He became more and more loose, with a mocking and arrogant smile on his lips. He didn't know whether he was mocking the world or himself.He puts on the airs of a nobleman all day long, with an arrogant face looking at the world, not touching a bit of common things, and his 'elegance' is in a mess.

But now, in just a few months, the decadence and corruption on Cui Hong's body have been swept away. Although he has sunburned a lot and lost weight, he has become more energetic, and his eyes that always only roll his eyes are gone. It exudes a kind of shimmering splendor again.

"It seems that Aye has finally found his place."

Cui Yabo sat at the bottom, while looking at his father, he secretly sighed.At this moment, he felt that his unreliable old lady had finally done something reliable.

Although Cui Yabo is young, he has somewhat experienced Aye's state of mind and can understand his inaction.

It's a pity that Cui Yabo knew about Cui Hong's illness, but he couldn't help with the treatment.

Today, thanks to the old lady's blessing, Cui Hong finally has a goal in life and a direction of struggle - to unite the Cui clan, consolidate the foundation of the clan, and finally prosper the Cui clan in Luoyang!
Just as Cui Yabo guessed, Cui Hong's mentality has undergone a complete change.

Being the patriarch, building ancestral halls for the family, repairing tombs, and even revising the family tree and family rules are not important matters for the world, but they are extremely important matters for the family. The old lady entrusted these things to Cui Hong , this made Cui Hong, who couldn't find his position and see no future, finally had a goal, and his life became fulfilled. He didn't care about 'sarcasm' at all when he was busy, let alone 'elegant', and he became pragmatic , stable, but also a strong sense of clan responsibility.

Cui Hong even took the initiative to send people to look for the clan members who were separated due to the war and migration, carefully collect the remains of the clan members buried in foreign lands, and transport them back to the newly built ancestral grave for burial.

The clan (in fact, the Cui family) was fully responsible for the manpower and financial resources spent during this period.

This made the living clansmen very moved when they saw it, and the blood and family ties separated by time and space were reunited.

Hearing the people's sincere praise and seeing everyone's admiration and gratitude made Cui Hong more motivated.

Then, when Cui Hong was building the ancestral hall and establishing the ethnology, he thought of the widows, widows, solitary, and orphans in the family. He hurriedly wrote to the old lady in Beijing (the old lady had not passed away at that time) and the old man, expressing himself The thoughts of the two old ancestors were reported in detail.

Cui Hong's idea is very simple, that is, the clan (it's still the Cui family) pays for the people and supports the widows and orphans in the clan.In his letter, he emphasized that his so-called support is not just alms for food and clothing, but careful care as his own relatives.

Cui Hong's purpose is very clear. Through this series of benevolent deeds, he will completely unite the clan members, unite them highly, and support each other, so that their branch will become a Boling Cui clan that is not inferior to the direct ancestor.

The old lady and the old man were not interested in the clan because of their painful experiences in the early years. In the past few decades, they have not cared much about the clan.

But Cui Hong's rhetoric is very convincing, and has been ruled by the direct clan for decades, the old lady has gradually felt the importance of the clan to a single family, and after discussing with the old man, she agreed to Cui Hong's plan. He also wrote a letter to praise him a lot, praised him for his ideas and achievements, and encouraged him to make persistent efforts to build the foundation of Luoyang Cui family.

Of course, in addition to verbal praise, the old lady also allocated a load of property to Cui Hong, expressing her support for Cui Hong with practical actions.

With money and competent people, Cui Hong's various tasks are progressing very smoothly. The clan members who were neglected and alienated by the old lady's siblings in the early years have gathered around again. Formed a new town - Anping Township.

After hearing Cui Hong's simple explanation, Cui Youbo also admired him very much, and he was even more convinced of the lady's proposal in his heart.

After Cui Hong finished talking about some of his actions in Luoyang, he turned to ask about the situation of his son and nephew and his future plans.

Cui Yabo is very simple, he came back to take care of his father, and of course he will inherit the position of future patriarch.

Cui Youbo was even simpler. After he decided to bury his grandma, he would live in a hut at the foot of Mount Mang, and be at ease as a filial piety for his grandmother.

Hearing Cui Youbo's words, Cui Hong was very satisfied, nodded and said: "My Cui family has always been famous for my filial piety, Dalang's move is very good."

Then, Cui Hong remembered something again, and said: "I have asked Qingyuan real person to calculate the auspicious day for the old lady's burial. The real person said that the 27th of the twelfth lunar month was the only suitable day for burial a year ago."

Hearing this, Uncle Cui and Xiao Nan looked at each other, the two nodded quietly, then Uncle Cui straightened up, and replied, "Uncle Lao, since the real person said it, then he will be buried on the 27th."

Then they discussed the specific details of the burial and the construction of Cui Youbo's thatched cottage. After discussing everything, Cui Youbo and his wife took their children and left.

Back at Rongshou Hall, Xiao Nan took the children back to the main courtyard. They had just arrived, and there were still many things to be arranged.

Cui Youbo carried a roll of bamboo slips and came to the inn in the courtyard, found Zheng Qin, chatted a few words, and handed the bamboo slips to Zheng Qin.

"My cousin is good at calligraphy, and he is also proficient in "Wu Cang" (ancient five-character book). There is an ancient book here, but I don't know the exact date. I would like to ask my cousin to read it."

Cui Youbo was not flattering Zheng Qin, but after getting along with him these days, he found that Zheng Qin's knowledge of ancient studies was not so good. It is wanton and free and easy.

When Zheng Qin heard that it was an ancient book, he also became interested. There are dozens of ancient books handed down from his family ancestors, and some are even out-of-print fragments from the pre-Qin period.

After receiving the bamboo slips, Zheng Qin didn't rush to open them, but first looked at the color of the bamboo pieces and the weaving rope, and speculated: "This should be the bamboo slips policy of the Han Dynasty."

Gently untying the binding rope, Zheng Qin carefully unfolded the bamboo slips, carefully identified the words on it, and compared them word by word: "'The way of the world should not be heard; the foundation of all things must be observed; Yin and Yang It is necessary to know'...Eh? This, this is a medical prescription? Wait, let me see, oh, fish, this is the word for fish, 'the relationship between fish and loess is already hemorrhoids', yes, this is indeed Medical prescriptions. There is a remnant scroll in my family, which is an ancient medical book, and the same prescription is also recorded on it..."

Zheng Qin compared it and talked to himself. After reading the last word, he closed the bamboo slip in surprise and said, "Su Chun, this, this is an ancient medical book from the Western Han Dynasty, which recorded more than thirty prescriptions. It is a precious ancient book."

When Zheng Qin translated the bamboo slips word by word, Cui Youbo had affirmed Zheng Qin's talent in his heart. Seeing him so happy now, he smiled and said: "My cousin's ancient studies are really good... Wrong, this is indeed the ancient medical book "Miscellaneous Prescriptions" of the Western Han Dynasty, of course we can also call it "Wanwu".

Zheng Qin caressed the bamboo slips and sighed: "It's been hundreds of years, and they are all the works of our ancestors, baby."

Although he is not a doctor, but as a scholar, he has a natural love for books. Now that he reads ancient books hundreds of years ago, he is even more pleasantly surprised.

Seeing this, Cui Youbo felt relieved, and continued to smile: "There are ancient books like this in my family, I wonder if my cousin is interested in reading them?"

Zheng Qin suddenly raised his head, looked at Cui Youbo in surprise, and stammered: "Like, like this ancient book, do you still have it at home?"

Cui Youbo forgot his gaffe when he saw those ancient books for the first time, seeing Zheng Qin's overjoyed look, he couldn't help but smile, "There are about [-] to [-] strategies, and there are thousands of silk books and tens of thousands of paper books. Ancient books..."

Zheng Qin's eyes widened in shock, he didn't know what to say, and the bamboo slip in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Cui Youbo himself is a scholar, he understood Zheng Qin's mood at this time, he continued to lure: "It's just that there are too many books... I have always wanted to re-register and sort them for collection, but I have no one to help, after all There are not so many people who are proficient in Zhongdingwen and Zhuanwen—"

Before Cui Youbo finished speaking, Zheng Qin took the lead and said repeatedly: "Su Chun will not give up, brother is willing to give it a try."

PS: Uh, make up for yesterday's drops.

PPS: In history, the Cui clan was indeed very united. During the Anshi Rebellion, in order to find the exiled clan members, 108 members of the Cui clan rushed to the place of exile. Some clan members died on the way, so they carried his remains All the way to the place of exile for burial.There are also things like raising widows, widows and loneliness, and caring for the clan members. The people in the clan are very dedicated, and the clan members support and rely on each other, which fully reflects the power and role of the clan.
