The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 310 Gift ([-])

In addition to the service, Cui Youbo and his wife started to prepare for returning to Beijing. At this moment, someone from Beijing came.

The person who came was not an outsider, but Xiao Nan's son-in-law, Aye Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing came here for "Li Mo". Oh, no, in this time and space, it should be called "Xiao Mo". New ink was loved by the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so the surname Li was given, and the ink made by Li Yangui also became "Li Mo" and "Yanyu ink"), but Xiao Zhuo and several craftsmen.

As a celebrity who is famous all over the world, Xiao Jing is knowledgeable and generous, but he is best at calligraphy.As a calligrapher, Xiao Jing is very fond of brushes, ink and paper.

Hearing that his son had made a new kind of ink, this kind of ink is anti-corrosion and insect-proof. It will not be corrupted after being placed in water for several months.

This ink is also very durable, after the new ink was made, Xiao Zhuo gave Cui Youbo and his wife an ingot for trial.Cui Youbo and his wife used the ink, which was more than a ruler ingot, together. Each of them copied no less than [-] words of scriptures every day, and it still took a month to use it up.

Hearing this, Xiao Jing was very happy. He realized that his son's famous ink that could be handed down through the ages was a blessing not only for the calligraphy world, but also for his Xiao family.

Although ink-making is something done by humble craftsmen, it is also an elegant thing for a family member to 'invent' a new ink.For the family, it is a happy event for both fame and fortune.

This is the same reason that Xiao Nan 'developed' Diluchun back then.

Thinking of Xinmo in his heart, Xiao Jing ordered his son to be brought here as he traveled to Luoyang.

"Is this the new ink you made?"

Playing with the ink ingot that was more than one foot long, Xiao Jing first took a closer look at the color of the ink, then put it on his nose to smell it, and finally sighed: "Good ink, good ink. Ah Zhuo, the past three years You didn't stay in the country for nothing, and you finally did something serious."

For the three concubines, Xiao Jing still placed high hopes on them. After all, his two concubines were still too young, so the responsibility of the Guangyao family fell on the three elder concubines.And as a father, Xiao Jing also hopes that his children will have their own careers, so that even when he gets old in the future, his children and grandchildren will not lose their support and live in hardship.

The Eldest Princess is kind and magnanimous, and she gave up the title of the family to the eldest son, so Xiao Bo need not worry about his future future.

And Xiao Xie, because of his good martial arts, was sent to the army. Although he didn't follow the front line when he conquered Liaodong, he kept transporting grain. Fu Guoyi Duwei, from the fifth rank.With the Eldest Princess and Xiao Jing behind him, his future is not bad.

Only Xiao Zhuo, this son was the youngest son in the family before the twins were born, and he was doted on since he was a child.

Back then when Xiao Zhuo's biological mother was pregnant with him, the good news came out that the eldest princess was also pregnant with a child, which made the eldest princess feel that this child brought her good fortune, and was a little lucky star for her and the fetus in her womb.For this reason, the eldest princess also liked Xiao Zhuo very much, and when he grew up, she helped him find a good wife carefully.

Xu is too favored, Xiao Zhuo has been mediocre since he was a child, he either goes to teahouses and restaurants to gossip with a group of idle dandies all day long, or runs on people without showing any morals, and criticizes political affairs, which makes Xiao Jing very headache. It also made him worry about his son's future.

Just when Xiao Jing wanted to find an idle job for his son, the son who caused him the most headache actually did such a thing, um, very good, very good.

Xiao Jing looked at his son with satisfaction, and praised him generously.

Xiao Zhuo rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Aye, this ink is made, please give me a name."

Seeing that his son was not overwhelmed by his praise, and knew how to do business, Xiao Jing was even more satisfied, and said with a smile, "Well, since it's the new ink made by our Xiao's workshop, it's called 'Xiao Mo'. 'Bar."

His efforts were recognized, Xiao Zhuo was very happy, and made another request: "En En, just listen to Aye, this new ink is called 'Xiao Mo'. Aye, there is one more thing, the soil used to make Xiao Mo, The children were all transported from Shezhou, and now that the ink is made, it is better to build a workshop in Shezhou if mass production is to be done in the future. The soil there is soft and very suitable for ink making."

Xiao Jing heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Since the soil quality in Shezhou is good, then build an ink-making workshop in Shezhou... Making ink is a serious matter. I will give it to you, I only hope that you can do things with your heart and make good ink that will be passed down through the ages."

At that time, there were Xuanzhou Zihao pens, moss paper from Yue, ten-color paper from Shu, Liuhe paper from Yang, and bamboo paper from Shao, inkstones from Qingzhou inkstone, Duan inkstone, Longwei inkstone, and Chengni inkstone. ...Xiao Jing thought proudly, when it comes to contemporary famous Mo, Xiao Mo of his Xiao family will be the leader.

When Xiao Zhuo heard that his family supported his ink-making, he was very happy, happily took the money and the craftsman's life certificate that Aye gave him, and ran back to his residence, ready to go to Shezhou to build an ink-making workshop.

After dealing with his son's affairs, Xiao Jing called his daughter and son-in-law over again.You know, he didn't come to Luoyang just to see 'Xiao Mo', he just wanted to see Mo, and let his son be transported back to Beijing quickly. He didn't need to come to Luoyang on purpose.

Xiao Jing came to Luoyang for another important purpose, which was to determine the future of his daughter and son-in-law.

The daughter and son-in-law have been away from Beijing for three years, the situation in Beijing has changed suddenly, and the waves are treacherous. If one is not careful, his life will not be hurt, but his future will be ruined.

"Aye, just tell me what's going on."

Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo sat down on their knees respectfully, seeing Xiao Jing's solemn expression and his refusal to speak for a long time, they knew that what the old man wanted to say was definitely not a trivial matter.

Three years away from Beijing, Cui Youbo and his wife are not ignorant of the situation in Beijing, they have kept their confidantes in Beijing, whenever there is any trouble in the capital, the servants who stay behind Cui's family will ride fast horses to Luoyang overnight.

So, despite the fact that their husband and wife have been staying in the mountains, they still know a lot about the capital and current affairs.

Xiao Nan knew that in the summer of the second year after they left Beijing, the sage returned to the dynasty, and the Liaodong War was a complete victory.With Concubine Xiao's sufficient supply of food, grass and warm clothes, the loss in the battle of Liaodong was not too great, at least much better than the tragic victory in the previous life.

The sage was very happy about this, and when discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, he remembered Concubine Xiao's great contribution, and used this to confine one of the twins to idle. But he has also become an official civil servant of the country, and has a corresponding salary every year.

The Battle of Liaodong was over, but the saint's body collapsed. On the battlefield that day, he was slightly injured, and because of the limited medicine, he was not completely healed, so the root cause of the disease fell.

When the sage was in poor health, a prince was in charge of government affairs.With the empress and sage on hand to give advice, the prince handled government affairs fairly well.

In addition, at this time, the Cui family gave the prince a big gift. Although it is not ancient and modern, it really helped the prince to paint a new layer of paint-who said that the prince valued martial arts and despise literature, and who said that the prince can only wield swords Gun, you see now, for the inheritance and circulation of ancient books, the crown prince not only sent his close Hongwen library students to help, but also personally inscribed the name of the library, which fully shows that the crown prince attaches equal importance to literature and martial arts.

These are good things for the Xiao and Cui families, but they are accompanied by bad things.

Xiao Jing pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Two months ago, the saint's old illness broke out, and he was in a coma for two full days."

What?What happened?

Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo were startled, they looked at each other subconsciously, they really didn't know about this.

It is true that they have kept confidantes in Beijing, but these people have limited identities, and the information they have heard is also limited.

Except for the empress, a few princes and important officials in the court, even ordinary officials may not know about the secret matter in the palace like the fainting of a saint.

Xiao Jing didn't seem to see the astonished expression of his daughter and son-in-law, and continued: "In addition, Hou Junji's son-in-law, He Lan Chushi, was transferred out of the East Palace, and he is now the captain of Prince Wu's Mansion."

Xiao Nan's brows twitched twice, she knew that although there were slight changes, the history of this time and space was still moving forward according to the original track.

Cui Youbo had read countless military books and history books during the three years of his filial piety, and when he heard the news, his first reaction was: "Aye, could it be that King Wu and Hou Jun-"

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, because Xiao Jing had already nodded in agreement.

Cui Youbo took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his flustered heart, and asked again: "What about King Wei? Did he make any moves?"

The saint was seriously ill, and the prince gradually took over the government affairs. Even the most stable and low-key King Wu jumped out to grab people and fight for territory. Other princes, such as King Wei, had absolutely no reason to sit and watch the show.

Seeing that his son-in-law left the capital, but his political acumen has not declined, Xiao Jing was very relieved, stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Half a month ago, after being persuaded by the queen, the sage finally issued an edict to make the king of Wei the Xiangzhou. The governor ordered him to go to Xiangzhou to take up his post immediately. The concubine got a job from the Ministry of Industry to supervise and dredge the Bian River. Princess Gaoyang was also called into the palace by the queen, and she accompanied her every day."

Is this about to start? !
Xiao Nan's heart was also pounding. Although she also experienced the coup in the capital in her previous life, she was just watching and did not get involved in it herself.

And in her previous life, because she severed ties with her natal family, she didn't know many inside stories in the palace. She only confirmed that the prince was the final winner, and then tried her best to persuade Li Jing to join him.Li Jing did go, and she waited for news in the farm outside the capital.

She remembered that the gates of the capital city were closed for several days, and there was no news from inside and outside, and she lost contact with Li Jing.By the time she received Li Jing's letter, the chaos in Beijing had subsided.

Compared with the previous life, Xiao Nan's fate trajectory in this life is obviously different. In the previous life, no one sent her a letter in advance before the coup.

At this time, Xiao Nan already understood the meaning of Aye's words, it was to persuade them not to return to Beijing for the time being, so as to avoid the coup d'état that would happen in a few days.

Feeling her parents' love for her, Xiao Nan's heart surged with warmth, and besides being moved, she made up her mind that she must do her best to repay her mother's family for treating her so well...
