Chapter 353 Seven Days ([-])

Cui Youbo's family, plus Zheng Mian, used up the food together.

Zheng Mian stood up and resigned with great winking, leaving the family of four talking privately.

The little maid served the teacup, Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan sat at the main seats, Cui Luoli and Changsheng Xiaopenyou sat at the bottom and waited to listen to the story.

After taking a sip of tea, Cui Youbo started talking.

"A ranger is different from a ranger."

How is it different?

A ranger who has no property in his family and no money on his body can only be regarded as the lowest ranger.

They know how to fight, they have nothing to do all day long, they wander around with broken swords, they mix with a bunch of idlers and rogue beggars, they are a group of military ruffians that are of no benefit to the court and the people.

Such a group of people sometimes become dangerous elements who disturb social order, which is looked down upon by the world.

For example, those people who made trouble in the market yesterday are such 'rangers'.

There is also a kind of ranger, who has houses and fields in their families, and some of them are Pianpian lords from powerful backgrounds.

They are highly educated, with elegant manners and chic conversations. They don't want to be officials or do business. They just want to be at ease and walk around with their swords.

Everywhere they went, they hoeed the strong and helped the weak, helped the poor, and based on benevolence and righteousness, they were true heroes of the world, highly praised by the world, and the imperial court also looked at them differently.

For example, the dozens of knight-errants who arrived in the capital this morning are such upright and benevolent knight-errants.

After listening to Cui Youbo's explanation, Xiao Nan couldn't help complaining: It's really the economic base that determines the superstructure. Heroes who walk the rivers and lakes are also admired by those who have money, and cast aside by those who have no money.

Cui Youbo took another sip of the tea soup and sighed: "With these knights here, I think those young people will not dare to make trouble again."

No matter how advanced the rangers are, they are not government officials after all. When they punish the wicked, they don't speak the law, but use force directly.

Xiao Nan thought, there is such a group of people to frighten, it can scare some timid idlers and rascals, and it can also disrupt King Wu's plan in a disguised form.

After talking about what he had seen and heard this morning, Uncle Cui's eyes fell on the pair of sons and daughters. Seeing that the daughter was frowning as if in deep thought, while the son was grinning and giggling, he asked one by one: "A Yuan, what are you thinking? Hehe, Do you admire such a Ren Xia?"

From ancient times to the present, every child has a rivers and lakes dream in his mind, fantasizing that he is a free and unrestrained, chivalrous hero, Ren Xia, and also wants to become the second Zhuan Zhu and Nie Zheng.

Lingxi pouted secretly, but with a bright smile on his small face, he nodded vigorously: "Well, Ah Yuan likes to read biographies of assassins."

Cui Youbo became interested, leaned forward, and asked with a smile, "Oh? Among the four assassins, which one is Yuan's favorite? Jing Ke or Nie Zheng?" This is relatively famous, especially Jing Ke, when mentioning assassins , People can think of this dear friend.

Lingxi shook his head, "I don't like Jing Ke, he's so stupid, he can't hit the pillar after chasing him for a long time."

Cui Youbo was stunned. He felt that his daughter's values ​​were a bit problematic, so he hurriedly explained to his daughter that although Jing Ke and Yu Rang did not succeed, their courage to regard death as home and the spirit of repaying their friends with their lives are very worthy of the admiration of future generations. The real reason for biography.

"A Yuan, you can't judge a hero by success or failure." Finally, Cui Youbo concluded.

Lingxi didn't take it seriously, but still nodded obediently, "Well, Ah Yuan knows."

After asking his daughter, Cui Youbo asked his son again, "Changsheng, what are you thinking about, so happy?"

Changsheng sat cross-legged next to his sister, waving his chubby little hands, and said happily: "Play Shuanglu, win money!"

Cui Youbo was in a mess in the wind, he, he really wanted to scream up to the sky, why are his sons and daughters thinking so strangely?A quick success, a quick profit?
No, no, their family is a dignified Cui family, how can his children be so worldly?

Cui Youbo didn't care about the chaos outside, ordered someone to bring a pile of books, took his daughter with one hand, and hugged his son with the other, and prepared to find a good book for them to read, correcting their outlook on life, world outlook and values.

Xiao Nan saw that their father and son were having fun, so he handed the children over to Uncle Cui, and he called two ladies in charge to give orders.

"There has been chaos in the city recently, and I don't know what will happen in the future. Are the food, rice, vegetables, fish and meat at home ready?"

If Xiao Nan remembers correctly, two days later, the gates of the city will be closed, and the entire capital will be closed for seven days. She must make preparations before then, so as to avoid having no rice or meat at home, and insufficient food supply.

Tie Niangzi replied: "I order people to go to the East Market to buy fish and meat every day. There are still some fruits and vegetables in storage, but they are only enough for three days."

It's hot summer now, and fish and meat can't be kept. Although Cui's family has ice cream, they can't use it indiscriminately.

Besides, the capital is rich in supplies, and fresh ingredients can be bought every day, so there is no need to store a lot of them, and there is no waste.

Xiao Nan ordered: "Send someone to Dongshi to buy more ingredients, at least ten days' supply must be guaranteed."

The Iron Lady bowed and replied: "Yes, I will arrange it now."

Xiao Nan thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, you are also familiar with the lady in charge next door, you might as well remind them by the way, let them store more, so that they will be prepared."

Xiao Nan knew that the three halls strictly followed the old lady's requirements, dug cellars at home, and stored new grains every year. With these grains, although the whole family would not go hungry, they still couldn't eat well.

There are also many people in Rongkang Hall, so it is better to remind them to prepare early.Wang Shi is not a bad person, Xiao Nan also wants to sell her favor.

Iron Lady hurriedly agreed.

Xiao Nan called Yu Zhu again, "Send someone to send a letter to Mr. Wang Dalang, telling him that the situation in central Beijing is not stable recently, let him take care of the shop, if it's not possible, they might as well suspend business temporarily, it happens that it's the middle of the year, and the new The accounts of Shinan City and several shops in the first half of the year have been cleared."

She was not in the capital when the capital was in chaos in her previous life, so she didn't know the details.However, in order to prevent problems before they happen and avoid the shops being robbed by others, it is better to close them directly.It's not too late to open the door after everything subsides after ten days and half a month's rest.

"Yes, maidservant obeys." Yuzhu said.

Xiao Nan continued to order according to the thoughts she had arranged in advance: "Also, tell the concierge that from now on, the princess will thank guests behind closed doors. Anyone who has a letter of worship should directly tell them that the princess is ill and waits for the illness to recover. I will visit you later.”

The Iron Maiden takes the lead.

Xiao Nan recalled that "Marquis Wu" tried to search her home last night, and added, "Also, if someone is rude and tries to make trouble in front of the door, tell the guards outside the door to take them down and tie them aside. If there is resistance, do it directly, whether it is beating, maiming or killing people, I will be responsible for all consequences."

Yuzhu's heart trembled, and she also remembered what happened last night, so she hurriedly replied: "Yes, my lady."

Xiao Nan rubbed his forehead, and continued: "By the way, Iron Lady, have all the servants at home asked clearly? Has anyone asked for leave recently? Is there any trace of whereabouts?"

The Iron Lady hurriedly replied: "My lady, I have already asked clearly. There are four little maids and two women asking for leave, three are sick, and the other three are family matters. I have sent people to implement them one by one. , are all true. The other servants have not found anyone acting suspicious."

Xiao Nan nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Good job. I will continue to pay attention to it in the past two days. I don't want to see someone in the inner courtyard taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

Iron Maiden and Yu Zhu bowed together, and replied in unison: "Yes, slave/servant obeys."

After explaining the trivial matters at home, Xiao Nan waved his hands to make the two of them retreat, and he returned to Cui Youbo's side to watch him seriously read to the two children.

An hour passed, and Iron Lady returned to her life.

"Miss, I went to Rongkang Hall to talk to the lady in charge over there, and I have already told her your words. She is very grateful and said that I will report to the young lady immediately."

The Iron Lady paused, and said in a low voice: "Also, the second lady and the fourth lady were sent back, both of them were injured, and their condition is not very good."

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, "Send him back? Was it the Wu Palace who sent him back?"

It shouldn't be, it's so easy to get people away, but the goal hasn't been achieved yet, how can you send people back so easily?
Iron Lady replied: "It wasn't the Prince of Wu's mansion who sent someone back, but a few rangers. I heard that they not only brought back the wife of our Cui family, but also sent the other female family members back home safely. "

Let me just say, Xiao Nan nodded, and said: "The two ladies are injured? Can you invite the imperial physician?" It is probably too much, if all the female family members go home, the imperial physician must be the busiest, and it may take turns in a while Not to Cui's house.

Tie Niangzi shook her head, "When I left, the eldest young lady was ordering someone to invite the imperial physician, but when I returned, the imperial physician hadn't arrived yet."

Xiao Nan didn't speak, and waved his hands to make Iron Lady back down.

After dismissing Iron Lady, Xiao Nan turned to Cui Youbo and said, "Your Majesty is right, those knight-errants who came to Beijing this morning are indeed heroic knights."

Cui Youbo raised his eyebrows, not knowing why the lady said that.

Xiao Nan then talked about the two wives being sent back by You Xiaer, and then said: "The two aunts are injured, let's go over and have a look, I still have some good external wound medicine, whether it can be used or not It’s a good idea, anyway, it’s our wish.”

Cui Youbo had no objection, closed the book, stood up with his son in his arms.

Xiao Nan held Lingxi's hand, and the family of four rushed to Rongkang Hall together.

Among the two wives, the second wife was the head of the Liu family, and Cui Youbo's family went to the main hall of Wangshu Yuan first.

The group of people had just walked into the courtyard, before they could climb up the steps, they heard bursts of crying from inside the hall.

Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan stopped in their tracks, and the husband and wife looked at each other, could it be that Liu Shi was seriously injured and died, something happened?
The two of them were wondering, when they heard pleading from the hall again: "Mother, my son is really forced to do nothing, my mother-in-law said, if I don't follow her orders, she, she will go to bed its me……"

Another older voice echoed: "Yes, yes, yesterday when the gangster committed an attack, my princess disregarded her own safety and stood in front of my wife, and took the knife for you."
