The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 335 Mother and Daughter Conversation ([-])

Uncle Cui had a big slap on his face and was not good at riding a horse, so he got into the ox cart with his wife and children.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Xiao Nan ordered Yuhan to fetch ice cubes.

It is the hot summer of July, and there is a lot of ice in the ice cellar at home.Xiao Nan went out today, in order to prevent heatstroke, she specially ordered someone to bring an ice cream and put it in the cart.

The so-called ice mirror is an ancient "refrigerator", made of copper and wood, shaped like a bucket, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with small holes at the bottom to facilitate the flow of water. The double-line opening is not only convenient for lifting, but also for the distribution of ice and air.

Xiao Nan's ice mirror is slightly smaller than the commonly used ones on the market, and it is specially made to be placed in the carriage. There are not many ice cubes in it, and it is usually enough for her to travel.

Yuzan took the order, lifted the lid of the ice mirror, picked up a piece of ice with long copper chopsticks, wrapped it in a clean handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan took the ice cube wrapped in a handkerchief, and gently applied it to Cui Youbo's slightly red and swollen right cheek.

"Hiss~~"

When the cold veil touched his hot cheek, Cui Youbo couldn't help but gasped.

Then, after the skin got used to the extremely low temperature, the sore part of the cheek gradually felt comfortable.

Lingxi was sitting beside Cui Youbo, with tears in her big eyes, she pursed her mouth when she heard her father gasp, and asked, "Aye, does it hurt?"

Cui Youbo quickly shook his head, stretched out his hand to caress his daughter's small hair, and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's just that the ice cube is too cold. Hehe, Ah Yuan, didn't I scare you just now?"

Cui Youbo took the beating for his wife, although it was very painful, but he was glad in his heart, fortunately he blocked it at that time, otherwise with the strength of his mother, not only would the wife fall to the side, but also his daughter might be hurt.

Besides, A Niang treats his wife and A Yuan in this way. As a son of man, he can't say anything, let alone speak out against his A Niang. They blocked it.

"Aye, ice, I want ice too!"

Chang Sheng, who was sitting on the other side, also became interested when he heard what his father and sister said, clapping his little hands and clapping for ice.

When he was in Rongkang Hall before, Changsheng was carried by his wet nurse and walked behind, so he didn't see Cui Youbo being beaten.Although the little guy was curious about Aye's half-blushed face, he didn't dare to ask more questions seeing his parents and sister's dignified faces.

Don't think that the little guy is only three years old and doesn't understand anything. In fact, children are very good at reading people's faces and have a natural instinct for predicting danger.

If he hadn't seen Aye grinning, as if everything had passed, Chang Sheng wouldn't have dared to speak easily.

Cui Youbo reached out and touched his son's face, and said softly: "You are still young, you can't play with this, if you get frozen, you can't play with Aye and sister."

Hearing this, Changsheng entangled Xiaopang's hands, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the ice mirror in the corner of the carriage, his little face was full of eagerness to try.

Xiao Nan helped Cui Youbo apply ice for a while, saw that the redness and swelling on his face had subsided a little, and he felt a little more at ease. He turned his head and saw his son looking at the ice mirror expectantly, so he pasted the ice cubes in his hand on his son's face wickedly. In Xiaopang's hands.

"Oh, it's so cold!"

Changsheng was taken aback, and looked at his mother aggrievedly.

Cui Youbo was speechless, he raised his hand and hugged his son into his arms, grabbed the little guy's little hand that was icy, blew, and coaxed: "Look, Aye has already breathed for you, don't be afraid of longevity."

Chang Sheng hugged his father's arms hard, and said coquettishly: "Aye, I didn't read poetry yesterday, but I will make up for it today."

Holding his son exuding the fragrance of milk in his arms, and hearing his son's soft and waxy voice, Cui Youbo's heart that was hurt by the eldest lady instantly turned into water, and he couldn't help but softly said: "Okay, Aye! I’ll just read poems to you, and Ah Yuan will come too...by the way, what do you want to hear?”

"Teacher Taigong..." This is the voice of the newly enlightened Changsheng little friend.

"I don't want it. I can recite it from my grandfather's tutor. Aye, let me recite it..." This was the request of Cui Lingxi, who had been promoted from the elementary class to the middle class.

"Okay, recite them all, Aye will recite them for you one by one. A Yuan, since you already know how to recite your grandfather's tutor, why don't you recite them with Aye for brother?"

Cui Youbo was very happy to see that his sons and daughters were so smart and cute. He held one in each hand and embraced both children in his arms.

"Well, Ah Yuan and Aye recite together."

Cui Luoli had long wanted to show off in front of her younger brother, but now that she had the opportunity, how could she miss it.

A moment later, a mix of mellow male voices and immature female voices sounded in the carriage, and a piece of Duan Zhijia's aphorisms floated out of the bullock cart clearly.

"Winning a cow, giving back a horse, going back and forth, it's not a courtesy..."

With the joyful recitation of the father and daughter, the dull atmosphere in the carriage just now was swept away, Xiao Nan smiled unconsciously, and quietly watched the interaction between Uncle Cui and his two children.

The ox cart slowly drove into Chongrenfang, turned into an alley, and came to the gate of the eldest princess's mansion.

The family order who had heard the news a long time ago came up to greet him and respectfully invited Cui Youbo and his family to enter the mansion.

After passing through the atrium, Xiao Bo and Yuan Shi had already led a group of maidservants to guard under the verandah. Seeing Xiao Nan and the others come in, they rushed forward to greet them affectionately.

"Why did you come so late? A Niang and Aye have urged me several times, and Azhi and Azhen are also arguing to see my sister."

Yuan Shi slightly nodded at Uncle Cui, as a salute, and then took a few steps forward, took Xiao Nan's arm, separated by two steps, looked up and down carefully, and then said with some distress: "I'm thinner, and I'm tanned too. gone."

Xiao Bo was greeting Cui Youbo, when he heard his wife's words, he turned his head and glanced at his sister.

Sure enough, my originally plump and fair younger sister had lost a lot of weight and her cheeks were sunken after only seeing her for three years.

Aren't you going to keep your filial piety?Why does it look like you have a serious illness?
Xiao Bo looked at Cui Youbo with dissatisfaction, and felt that his sister's change was caused by this unreliable son-in-law.

Xu paid too much attention to his younger sister, so Xiao Bo directly ignored Cui Youbo's blushing cheeks, and reached out to grab his arm, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few years. I heard that you have read a lot of books. Come on, come on, Aye." After seeing A Niang, let's go to the study to chat!"

The words just slipped through the teeth.

If Xiao Bo hadn't remembered to ask Uncle Cui to visit his parents first, at this moment, he would have pulled Uncle Cui aside so that the uncle and son-in-law could have a good 'talk'.

Cui Youbo twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a very helpless smile. He knew that when the couple came to the princess mansion, the father-in-law and the others would definitely think that he was treating her poorly, and several brothers and sisters would look for him one after another. He settles accounts.

Before leaving Beijing, because of his cousin, he had already been taught how powerful the Xiao family was. Today, he might have to learn again.

Xiao Nan was also helpless.

In fact, her body shape was considered standard in her previous life, but she is currently in the Tang Dynasty where wealth is considered beautiful, and if she is a little thinner, she becomes unhealthy.

Seeing that Xiao Bo and his wife really cared about themselves, Xiao Nan smiled slightly and explained: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm just a little impatient for summer and can't eat, hehe, it's not because of other things. Once summer is over, I will It can be restored."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Nan pushed his daughter to the front again, "Lingxi, this is uncle and aunt, quickly greet the two elders."

Cui Lingxi performed a blessing ceremony standardly, and shouted crisply: "Son, my uncle, my aunt!"

When Xiao Bo saw the cute and bright niece, his face seemed to be a switch, he immediately put away the coldness just now, and in a blink of an eye he showed a loving smile, nodded and said: "Well, Lingxi has grown up and is sensible, very good! "

Yuan Shi gave birth to three sons in succession, but did not have a daughter. Now it is very rare to see Lingxi's obedient and polite appearance.

She let go of Xiao Nan, hugged Lingxi directly, and said with a smile: "Yes, we haven't seen each other for three years, our little Lingxi has grown so big, and is still so polite and sensible, hehe, Lingxi, do you still remember?" I don’t remember my aunt, when you were young, my aunt hugged you and fed you fruit puree.”

Lingxi blinked her black grape-like eyes and nodded vigorously, "Remember, my aunt makes clothes and purses for Lingxi every year."

Back then, Xiao Nan urged the eldest princess to give up the position of the eldest son to Xiao Bo. Xiao Bo and his wife were very grateful. During the three years when Xiao Nan returned to Luoyang, apart from the normal annual gifts, the Yuan family would carefully prepare a gift and send it along with the annual gifts. to Luoyang.

Xiao Nan was happy to befriend his brother and sister-in-law, and whenever he received a gift, he would carefully keep it. Some of them were given to Uncle Cui or his two children, and Xiao Nan would tell them that these were sent by Yuan Shi.

Therefore, although Lingxi didn't remember who her aunt was, she knew from A Niang that the small clothes, purses, and toys she received every year were all prepared by her aunt in the capital.

Now that he saw the real person, Lingxi immediately thought of it, with a smile on his small face, and he was very close to Yuan Shi.

When Yuan Shi heard this, she was secretly happy, and thought: My sister-in-law is still good at handling things. I just gave some gadgets, so she wrote them all down, and specially told the children to know.

Baji kissed Lingxi, and Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, our Lingxi is really smart. By the way, do you like the things that your aunt gave you?"

Lingxi nodded vigorously, "I like it, the myrobalan skirt made by my aunt is prettier than that made by my mother!"

This is the truth, Xiao Nan's needlework is really not good, even Lingxi, who is only five years old, expresses his disdain.

Hearing this, Xiao Nan's cheeks were flushed, and he murmured in his heart: This unfilial daughter will expose her mother's faults in public.

Yuan Shi is Xiao Nan's sister-in-law, of course she knows that her sister-in-law is not good at working girls, if someone else said this, she would definitely help Xiao Nanyuan get there, but Lingxi said it, Yuan Shi couldn't help giggling.

Xiao Nan pursed his lips, and hugged Chang Sheng again, "Come on, Chang Sheng, I have met my uncle and aunt."

Changsheng rolled his big black eyes, and said in a childish voice: "Uncle, Ann, Aunt, Ann!"

When Xiao Bo saw his white, fat and cute little nephew, he forgot Cui Youbo for a moment, stretched out his arms to hug Changsheng, and said: "Hey, look at our Changsheng, how old we are, and how smart we can speak. Let's go, your grandma and grandma." Father is still waiting for you."

Yuan Shi held the consonance and led Cui Youbo and his wife to the main hall.

After entering the door, Xiao Nan raised his head and saw the eldest princess and concubine Xiao sitting in the main hall, the twin brothers sat cross-legged beside the eldest princess, Xiao Xie and his wife Li Shi sat on the west side of the lower head.

"Auntie, Aye!"

Xiao Nan quickly walked a few steps, threw himself in front of the eldest princess' bed, held her hand, and was choked up for a while, speechless.

The eldest princess also straightened up, stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Nan in her arms, and said with a choked voice: "Enen, it's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Cui Youbo followed behind Xiao Nan, saluting politely, "Son, Aye, please Aye, please Aniang!"

Concubine Xiao returned to Beijing with Xiao Nan and his wife, so now seeing his daughter again, he is not as excited as the Eldest Princess.

He waved at Uncle Cui, "We're all a family, so you don't need to be too polite. Well, your mother-in-law hasn't seen Qiao Mu for many years, so she must have a lot to say. Let's go to the study."

Saying that, Concubine Xiao winked at the two sons.

Xiao Bo and Xiao Huihui agreed, came behind Cui Youbo, and the four men, brother-in-law Weng and son-in-law, moved out of the study together.

The princess hugged Xiao Nan and cried for a while, then she looked up and saw a pair of little people who looked like powder balls, she hurriedly wiped her tears, and said, "This is Lingxi? This is Changsheng? Oh, I can't see you in the blink of an eye, the children have grown up so much Hurry up, come to Grandma."

Xiao Nan also straightened up, withdrew from the eldest princess' arms, turned his head and said to the two children: "Lingxi, Changsheng, salute Grandmother!"

Lingxi led Changsheng, and the two siblings came to the eldest princess' bed together, knelt down and saluted, "I have seen my grandmother, and my grandmother is well!"

Of course, this long series of words was mainly said by Lingxi, and Changsheng only said 'Grandmother, Ann'.

The eldest princess was very happy, with bright smiles on her face and eyes, she stretched out her hands, hugged the two children into her arms, kissed one, touched the other, her love was beyond words.

Xiao Nan's eyes fell on the twins beside the eldest princess, she greeted with a smile, "Ah Zhen, Ah Zhi, do you still remember sister?"

The two brothers Xiao Zhen and Xiao Zhi are four and a half years old this year. When Xiao Nan left Beijing, they didn't remember anything.

However, they listened to A Niang nagging about an elder sister who left Beijing all day long, and every ten days and a half months, this elder sister would send them delicious fruits and some novelty toys... Their My sister has long been remembered in my heart.

Finally seeing the rightful lord, the two brothers couldn't sit still for a long time, if it wasn't for the eldest princess's strict rules to restrain them, they would have rushed to her sister to show their closeness.

Now when they heard their sister calling, the two brothers turned their heads to look at the eldest princess. The eldest princess smiled and said, "What? I don't recognize my sister? Why don't you go and greet her!"

The two little buns waited for this sentence. Hearing this, they quickly got up and rolled to Xiao Nan's side like a meat ball. One of them grabbed his sister's hand and shouted: "Sister, sister~~~"

Xiao Nan reached out and touched the faces of the two younger brothers. She found that Ah Zhen and Ah Zhi did not look alike, and this difference became more and more obvious as they got older.

Ah Zhen looks like Xiao Jing, with a little more heroism in his eyebrows and eyes; and Ah Zhi looks like a big princess, with delicate facial features and everything.

No, Ah Zhi is more like Xiao Nan, if he puts on women's clothing, he will be a replica of Xiao Nan when he was young.

Realizing this, Xiao Nan raised his head and said to the eldest princess, "Mother, Ah Zhi looks very much like me, even more like a consonance."

The eldest princess glanced at Xiao Nan, "You are brothers and sisters of direct relatives, and you both look like me, what's the fuss?"

In fact, when the eldest princess brought the twins into the palace, the queen was also very surprised. Ah Zhi looked like the eldest princess, and the eldest princess's good looks followed the queen's. Looking closely, Ah Zhi looked like six or seven points Queen.There is still a shadow of a saint in his eyebrows, which makes both the saint and the queen like Ah Zhi very much.

When Ah Zhi heard her sister talking about herself, she hurriedly pulled Xiao Nan's hand to attract her attention, and then asked seriously: "Sister, I heard that you and your brother-in-law have been living on the mountain, is it cold on the mountain? "

Ah Zhen, on the other hand, hated iron for being weak, and secretly blamed his brother for not talking about business, but for gossiping like a little lady. He quietly tugged on Ah Zhi's sleeve, and when Ah Zhi turned to look at him, he blinked vigorously. It seemed to remind me of something.

Ah Zhi understood, raised his head, and said in a daze: "Oh, yes. Sis, Ah Zhen and I both like the fruit you gave us. Did you bring us any new fruit this time?"

Ah Zhen really wanted to kick this stupid brother, and secretly complained: He is such a smart person, how could he have such a stupid brother, if he wants something delicious, he can't say it directly, he should be more tactful anyway.

Clearing his throat, Ah Zhen added: "Sister, Ah Zhi means that if you bring fruit, the two of us can help distribute it. Ah Ye likes to eat lychees, Ah Niang likes cherries, and eldest brother likes— —”

Ah Zhen talked for a while, counting all the owners of the Princess Mansion, even the youngest nephew was mentioned, the only ones he and Ah Zhi were not mentioned.

"Puchi~~~"

Xiao Nan couldn't bear it anymore, hugged his two younger brothers and laughed, she really didn't expect that she not only had a daughter with a black belly, but also a younger brother with a sesame bag.

Looking at Ah Zhen's pretended calmness, and Ah Zhi's honest and serious appearance, Xiao Nan only thinks that the pair of brothers are too cute, they are simply the mascots of the Xiao family.

Ah Zhen and Ah Zhi didn't understand why Xiao Nan was laughing, the two meat buns stared blankly at Xiao Nan, after watching for a while, Ah Zhen seemed to understand a bit, with a stern face, he looked at his sister with some displeasure.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan quickly suppressed his smile, nodded and said: "En En, Ah Zhen and Ah Zhi are more careful, keeping all the family's preferences in mind, they are a pair of good children who are filial and respectful. Don't worry. , This time my sister brought a lot of new fruits, including lychees and cherries... Ah Zhen and Ah Zhi must help my sister and distribute the fruits to the family."

Ah Zhen looked at Xiao Nan firmly, and saw that she didn't seem to be joking, so he nodded in satisfaction, "Don't worry, sister, Ah Zhi and I are the best at this."

Yuan shi suppressed a smile, and said solemnly to the twins: "Since that's the case, then please ask the two young men to help sister-in-law distribute the fruit?!"

Mrs. Li followed suit, got up and came to the front, and said to Cui Lingxi and her siblings: "Will Lingxi and Changsheng share the fruit with the uncles? It's very interesting!"

Lingxi didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan nodded slightly.

Lingxi understood, took his younger brother's hand, and said: "Okay, my younger brother and I will help too."

Ah Zhen looked at Lingxi, um, she is taller and older than him, and she seems to be quite clever, well, let's take her with me.

Thinking of this, Ah Zhen nodded pretending to be old-fashioned: "Well, you can go, but you have to be obedient and don't make trouble."

Lingxi pouted, and said coolly: "Don't worry, little uncle, Changsheng and I will be very good."

Yuan Shi took the twins one by one, Li Shi led Lingxi and Changsheng, the two adults bid farewell to the eldest princess, and then led a few younger ones out, and took away some maidservants, leaving the main hall to The eldest princess and Xiao Nan were talking privately.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, the eldest princess put on a straight face and asked in a cold voice: "Doesn't the Cui family have a concubine? The cost is also the same as Lingxi?! Since you are so virtuous, why didn't you bring her along?"

Xiao Nan knew that the eldest princess couldn't hide the family affairs, of course, she didn't intend to hide these things.

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Xiao Nan said: "Aniang, I know you feel sorry for me, so I said that, but, even if there is no such concubine daughter, there will be other concubine children in the future, I can manage it for a while, but I can't control it for the rest of my life. Since it is destined to happen, I simply let the one I can control have a child. That concubine was born to Yu Ye, the maidservant of Simei."

This reason could not convince the eldest princess at all, she continued to ask: "Also, how did I hear that your mother-in-law is bothering you again?"

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the eldest princess what happened last night and this morning.

"What? She, she dared to hurt my granddaughter?!"

The eldest princess never oppresses others as a princess, this does not mean that the eldest princess has no temper, once she calls herself 'Ben Gong', it proves that she is really angry.

Xiao Nan hurried forward and moved a few steps, sat beside the eldest princess, took her arm, and said softly: "Mother, don't get angry, I have already made up my mind on this matter, and I will definitely solve it properly .”

The eldest princess looked at Xiao Nan, feeling distressed and angry at the same time. She was so angry that she simply pulled Xiao Nan and beat her hard twice, "I said a long time ago that I married you to Mrs. Cui not to let you Going there to endure hardships is not for you to be bullied by others... It's good for you, for the sake of a false name, you swallowed your anger and kept silent, and almost hurt Lingxi..."

Xiao Nan ouched twice in pain, and then hurriedly explained: "Mother, I, I'm not all for fame, I just think that it's not easy for a woman to make a living, and I can't always rely on you and Aye."

The eldest princess was even angrier when she heard this, and slapped Xiao Nan again: "Isn't it just for fame? Huh, I have already said that reputation is the icing on the cake for us. It is a good thing to have it, and it is not necessary to have it. It is a matter of human life, but you, you... Well, when you were conceived back then, I shouldn't have given in, if the Zheng family and the Cui family knew how powerful they are, they wouldn't dare to bully you now."

The eldest princess was cursing, but she was extremely conflicted in her heart. She was happy that her daughter finally knew how to plan and manage her life.But seeing her daughter being wronged, she felt distressed again.

Xiao Nan heard the concern in the eldest princess's words, his heart warmed up, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't be like this in the future, and if someone provokes me again, I will definitely act like a princess and make people laugh." I know, the daughter of the Xiao family is not easy to mess with."

The eldest princess snorted coldly, obviously she didn't believe Xiao Nan's words, but since her daughter has grown up and has her own ideas, she really can't control her too strictly.

After a while, the eldest princess said again: "There is one more thing, I guess you, Aye, haven't had time to tell you."

Xiao Nan asked: "What's the matter? Is it Lang Jun's errand?"

The eldest princess shook her head: "It's not about this, but, but... Huh, the Cui family really has a 'good daughter'!"

PS: Well, it's the last two days, we must fight to the end, thank you for your support, thank you!
