Chapter 314
It is advisable to travel on the sixth day of July.

On this day, Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan made preparations, brought their children, a group of servants, and Xiao Nan's princess Jiawei, a mighty group of people came out of Huaqingfang, joined Xiao Jing, and headed towards the city gate together go.

Cui Hong and Cui Yabo and his wife came to see him off one after another.

In fact, if only Cui Youbo and his wife return to Beijing, Cui Hong, the elder, does not need to see him off in person.But today is different, with Cui Youbo and his wife there is also Xiao Jing, who is not only the consort of the court, but also a person of the same generation as Cui Hong, Cui Hong will come to give him a gift if he wants to.

Different from when they came, Cui Youbo and his wife returned to Beijing with many gifts for the elders in Beijing. In addition, Cui Yabo and his wife also asked Cui Youbo to bring some gifts home.

With the original luggage and these gifts, there were more than thirty carriages. The carriages leading the way all left the city and entered the official road, and the last carriage had not yet left the gate of Huaqingfang.

With so many carriages, plus the accompanying two hundred armored guards, as well as the carriages and horses seeing off, the avenue leading to the city gate was squeezed to the brim.

When others saw this posture, they couldn't help inquiring curiously, and learned that the filial piety period of Cui Family Langjun and Xiao County Master who had returned home to observe their filial piety had expired, and now they were preparing to return to Beijing with their families.

This was big news, everyone stopped and chattered, and watched the Cui family's convoy slowly leave Luoyang.

Although Cui Youbo and his wife only stayed in Luoyang for three years, their reputation is extremely loud:
First, pure filial piety, whose heirs and grandchildren are so filial to their grandmothers, who don’t mind the hardships in the mountains, live in a hut in front of the grandmother’s grave, copy scriptures every day, and go to the grandmother’s grave to worship every day, for three full years, no matter the wind or snow ;
Second, generosity, which aristocratic family is so generous, giving free reading and copying of family classics to poor scholars, and actively helping those poor students to study and improve;
Thirdly, benevolence and righteousness. Which son of a rich family is so benevolent, borrowing the classics and medicinal materials from his family to benefit his neighbors and poor people. How many lives have been saved by just one Ci'an Cottage? !
Those who have been favored by Cui's family can't help calling Cui Youbo and his wife great benefactors.

Now that they heard that the benevolent man was leaving, many people came from home specially to see the benevolent man silently.

As for those poor scholars who benefited from the Bowen Museum, they were much more elegant than ordinary people. After they learned the news of Cui Youbo's upcoming arrival from Zheng Qin, they joined forces and wrote a farewell poem for Cui Youbo.

I saw a group of scholars wearing moon white fine linen wide-sleeved robes, waiting on the official road outside the city gate. They did not chase after the carriage, but just stood there and sang loudly, using poetry as the Cui couple's practice. .

Seeing this situation, Cui Youbo knew it was written by cousin Zheng, he was moved, he hurriedly got off his horse, gave a long bow to the scholars who saw him off, and returned the gift.

Needless to say, this will become another good story, which will be widely circulated among scholars in Luoyang in the next few years.

And Zheng Qin, who single-handedly facilitated this matter, returned to Beijing with his younger sister and Cui Youbo.

After three years of experience and growth, Zheng Qin has also undergone a lot of changes. Compared with the deliberate arrogance three years ago, he is now calm and a bit more free and easy, exuding a kind of aristocratic aura from his bones Proud and willful.

Zheng Mian's little lolita has also grown into a beautiful and elegant little lady. In the past three years in the Cui family, the living conditions are of course the best. The food and clothing are all the best. What makes Zheng Mian even more happy is that the Cui family is comfortable and comfortable. An indifferent living atmosphere, this is the state of life she desires most after wandering for a year.

Playing the piano, painting, or mixing incense and growing orchids every day.I make rouge gouache in my free time, and when I feel like it, I cook two side dishes myself.

Or do some needlework for Xiao Nan, Cui Lingxi's siblings, or my brother. Unlike in the past for making a living, working as a female worker or brocade weaving is all for hobbies, or simply to pass the time.

Everything is so indifferent and peaceful, and everything is so easy and leisurely, which caused Zheng Mian's mentality to undergo a considerable change. He was no longer as cautious as when he first met Xiao Nan, but instead exuded a kind of gentle temperament of a Jiangnan lady. .

Born from the heart, Zheng Mian's mentality became calm and indifferent, and her appearance became more elegant and refined.

Anyone who does not know her identity will definitely think that she is a well-known lady from a family in the south of the Yangtze River, rather than a helpless and down-and-out daughter.

Xiao Nan could see Zheng Mian's changes, and in private, she even joked with Zheng Qin, saying that after returning to Beijing, she would definitely help Zheng Mian find a good marriage.

When Zheng Qin heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. Xiao Nan is not a professional matchmaker, but seeing the marriages she has done, all of them are excellent.

If Xiao Nan or the eldest princess behind her is willing to help, his little sister's life will definitely not be bad.

All the elders of Zheng's family have passed away. Zheng Qin's elder brother is like a father, and he is more concerned about his younger sister's marriage. Now that Xiao Nan has a "joke", Zheng Qin seems to have seen hope, and privately tells his younger sister to teach Cui's younger sister well. Lady, live up to the princess's respect.

Zheng Mian is an intelligent woman, she also heard some clues from her elder brother's words, and seemed to have guessed something, when she looked at Xiao Nan again, her expression was a little unnatural.

Fortunately, Zheng Mian was young but knew how to restrain himself, he quickly adjusted his mentality and treated Xiao Nan's mother and daughter as usual.

Xiao Nan didn't know about this, and compared to outsiders, she cared more about her own daughter's growth.

In the bullock cart, Cui Lingxi held a needle and thread, and showed her mother her newly learned needle method in a dignified manner.

Xiao Nan played jigsaw puzzles with his son in his arms, and occasionally glanced at the needlework in his daughter's hands, feeling very happy.

The ox cart moved very slowly, but it was relatively stable, and there was almost a big bump and shake in the carriage. Therefore, Zheng Mian, who was sitting opposite Xiao Nan, was also playing with a small smoker to smoke the handkerchief.

Zheng Mian's slender jade fingers flipped lightly, and with the flipping of the veil, a faint fragrance of flowers filled the carriage, making the already leisurely atmosphere even more peaceful. If Xiao Nan hadn't been hiding something in her heart, she would have I fell asleep leisurely.

Now I'm back in Beijing. I haven't been home for three years, and I don't know what it's like now.

Originally, Xiao Nan still had some expectations, but the appearance of Yang Wei's "birthday gift" reminded Xiao Nan that although the Rongshou Hall lost its elders, the Zheng family was still there, and according to her temperament, she would never Seeing that she is comfortable, and Yang Xiao is a nail that Zheng's inserted into the Cui family, maybe it won't cause major troubles, but stabbing Xiao Nan when there is nothing to do will definitely cause her some trouble.

Thinking in his heart, Xiao Nan brought it out unconsciously, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Cui Lingxi, who was sitting next to Xiao Nan, seemed to sense something, and kept sneaking glances at her mother along the way.Every time I saw A Niang looking pensive, her immature face also showed a sad expression. At an age when she was young, she also had troubles early.

It's a pity that Xiao Nan only thought about his own concerns, but ignored his daughter, and he didn't realize that his daughter, who was always a playful ghost, was unusually quiet and obedient on this journey. Coax, so that Xiao Nan, a mother, can relax a bit.

The convoy traveled for more than ten days, and finally arrived in the capital on the day before Xiao Nan's birthday, that is, on July [-]th.

Looking at the familiar city gate, Xiao Nan felt as if she had passed away, and when it came to her own homeland, she also faintly felt a kind of melancholy called being close to home.

Alas, I don't know if the cousin next door will give her a 'surprise' when she arrives at home.

However, the subsequent facts proved that Xiao Nan's guess was wrong. It was not Yang Xie or Zheng Shi who gave her the first blow, but Ms. A Jin who had been recuperating in the farm for three years.

"Nu Ajin, I respectfully wish my wife well."

Wearing a well-fitting plain skirt, Ajin stood respectfully in front of the gate of the atrium of Rongshou Hall. Seeing Xiao Nan's ox cart slowly driving into the courtyard, she walked quickly and came to the front of the cart. When she got down, she was already kneeling on the ground with a thump, her forehead touched the ground, and she saluted very humbly.

Seeing that it was A Jin, Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback, saying that since Cui Lingping died, A Jin was forcibly pressed by Cui Youbo to the farm of Changshoufang to 'recover from illness'.In Xiao Nan's view, this person has completely become a thing of the past, and there is no possibility of him appearing again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Beijing, A Jin came up to him, and seeing the eyes of the servants around him, Xiao Nan guessed that A Jin must have only returned to Beijing today, and then sneaked in while he was in a hurry.

Otherwise, Iron Lady and Yuzhu would not show expressions of both hatred and anger, and they would look at A Jin with serious eyes. If Xiao Nan was not present, they would have the heart to eat A Jin alive.

Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, and said lightly: "Excuse me. Ah Jin, didn't the gentleman order you to rest in the farm? When will you return to Beijing? Why didn't you tell the family?"

A Jin raised her head and looked at Xiao Nan with incomparably respectful eyes. She looked in awe, as if she was not looking at her mistress, but the Bodhisattva enshrined in her Buddhist hall.

"If you go back to the lady, the maidservant has already recovered from her illness. Because she missed the lady, as soon as she heard the news of the return of the lady and the lord, the maidservant rushed over. In a moment of anxiety, she forgot to tell the lady to know that the maidservant is really Damn it!"

As she said that, Ajin kowtowed several times in a very sincere apology.

Xiao Nan frowned, it wasn't that she was sensitive, the Ajin in front of him seemed to have changed his personality, his whole person became different from before, and he was completely different from the madness Cui Lingping had just passed away three years ago.

In the past, A Jin, even when she was sane, looked at Xiao Nan with some sarcasm or provocation.

Now, no matter how Xiao Nan observes, she can't see the slightest flaw under A Jin's respectful face.

This, what is this situation?
Could it be that A Jin also had some adventures?Like rebirth?Or time travel?

Various weird thoughts inevitably arose in Xiao Nan's heart. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone report:

"Lady, Mrs. Zhao's mother is here to pay her respects!"

Xiao Nan's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and he really wanted to sigh in his heart: All of them really don't stop, as soon as she entered the house with her front feet, her back feet chased after her, leaving her with no time to catch her breath.
