Chapter 360 The Secret ([-])

Those who also set off from Luoyang, before Cui Yabo and others arrived, Yang Yu's sister, Aunt Yang, had already entered the capital first.

At first, Aunt Yang didn't want to come in person. It's not a happy event for her own sister to be married as a concubine, so why should she rush to celebrate?She originally thought of writing a letter to Cui's family to express her intentions.

But the Wu Wang Rebellion that followed changed Aunt Yang's plan.

As we said before, for some traditional families, what they value is bloodlines. In their eyes, among the many princes of the saint, the most suitable heir is King Wu.

There is no other reason, the blood is noble, just think about it, the maternal line is both a family and the former royal family, the paternal line is barely a new family and is the current royal family, and King Wu is the product of a strong combination.

Therefore, many aristocratic families placed their bets on King Wu, and the help of those aristocratic families was indispensable for the coup launched by King Wu this time.

Now that the king of Wu was defeated, those rebellious families were also affected one after another. The serious family decline, fortunately, the branches and leaves were cut off, leaving only the branches to survive.

Aunt Yang's in-law's family is a small family, although the family is not big, the ambition is not small, and they also participated in the rebellion of the King of Wu. Although they were only marginal, they were severely punished by the prince.

The whole family was almost ruined, and Aunt Yang's natal family was dead. After thinking about it, she suddenly realized that the only person she could rely on was her aunt in the capital.

It's a pity that the aunt is old and the cousin is in charge of the family, so the Cui family doesn't help her husband's family much.

While Mrs. Yang was thinking about how to get closer to her aunt, Cui Youbo's letter arrived.

After receiving Uncle Cui's letter, Aunt Yang's eyes lit up: Oh, she, she forgot about this? !As long as Ah Mo married into the Cui family, her relationship with the Cui family would be even closer.Although Ah Miao has no status, the cousin and his wife made it very clear that apart from the status, they will treat Ah Miao favorably according to the standards of noble concubines.

Before, Aunt Yang felt a little sorry for her failure to win a place for her sister.But at this time, she felt that it was not a bad thing for the Cui family not to give her younger sister a title. She could just use her cousin's guilt to help her younger sister get more benefits.

Of course, it would be even better if I could help myself by the way.

Thinking of this, Aunt Yang felt that she had to go to the capital in person, and speak clearly with her aunt and cousin Cui in person, and agree on the conditions in advance, lest she help cousin Cui get rid of Yang Xiaolang, and the Cui family would send her and his younger sister away. Tossed aside.

Xiao Nan was a little surprised when he heard that Mrs. Yang had come in person, but he still invited her into the Rongshou Hall according to the etiquette.

Aunt Yang is a straightforward person, quick to speak, and when she met Xiao Nan, she directly stated her intention of coming: "I received a letter from my cousin half a month ago, and I wanted to come, but I met... I was delayed. No, my cousins ​​don’t know, I was so anxious at home in those few days, I was afraid that my uncle and the others might make mistakes, but fortunately, with the blessing of the Buddha, my uncle survived the disaster safely without any danger.”

In all fairness, Xiao Nan prefers a straightforward person like Aunt Yang, who can say whatever she has, and won't talk about "riddles" that people have to guess.

Seeing her now, Xiao Nan's attitude was also very kind, and he said with a smile: "Cousin Lao is thinking about it. Although I was a little frightened in those few days, fortunately the family is safe. Even Cousin Yang's place is fine. .”

When mentioning her younger sister, Aunt Yang's mellow face flashed a look of uneasiness, she smiled embarrassingly, and said: "Oh, speaking of my sister, I, I am really embarrassed to open my mouth in front of my cousins. However, my parents I'm all gone, I'm Ah Mu's eldest sister, and I'm close to her, so I have to take good care of this frail little sister.

Now that my cousins ​​have mentioned Ah Miao, I won't go around the bush anymore. I know all about Yang Xiaolang's affairs in my cousin's letter. Don't worry, my cousins, with my elder sister around, no one has the right to say anything about Ah Miao's marriage. Make irresponsible remarks. "

Xiao Nan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words, she knew that if Aunt Yang agreed so simply, there must be conditions in the future.

Sure enough, Aunt Yang paused for a moment, then put on a helpless look, and said, "Cousin, to be honest, I don't approve of this marriage, but after thinking about it, it's Jiaci's will after all. , as a child, I should obey."

Then, Aunt Yang showed a wry smile, and said sincerely: "One more thing, I'm not afraid of my cousin's jokes. You and I know about Ah Mo's situation. She was born in poor health, and she has been able to barely survive until now. She has been protected by her ancestors." In a situation like hers, it may not be easy to marry a well-matched family as a first wife. This is also the main reason why my aunt wants to marry her to her cousin."

Well, this is indeed the truth, Xiao Nan nodded slowly, expressing his approval of Aunt Yang's words.

Aunt Yang picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and said: "When I was in Luoyang, I knew that my cousin was a reasonable person. Some people said that my cousin is virtuous, yes, I also think that my cousin is virtuous and virtuous. It can be said To be honest, I am also a big woman, so I don’t know the pain of being a regular wife? Cousin, I am a person who has nothing to say. If I were you, I don’t like my husband’s concubine, especially if this concubine is still Lang Jun's cousin who grew up with him."

Xiao Nan opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Aunt Yang waved her hand, with an expression that I understand, and continued: "However, I understand Ah Mu's temperament, she is the most soft and sensitive, as long as you give her a quiet yard, give her a book, and a cup of tea." Tea, she can live a leisurely life and will never come out to cause trouble. As for you, cousin, I also understand that you are the most virtuous and generous, as long as Ah Ma is safe and behaves, you will not bother with her. "

Xiao Nan's brows twitched, and he thought to himself: This Aunt Yang really has a way, on the surface she pretends to be loud and outspoken, but what she says, when you listen carefully, there is no deep meaning.

Aunt Yang is still saying: "One more thing, I don't say my cousins ​​should also know that with my grandma's physical condition, it is impossible for her to have children in this life. Cousins, you already have sons and daughters, and all of them are smart. Healthy, the future will be wonderful...

Let me say something impolite, even if my cousin takes pity on Ah Mo and takes good care of her, she is just a sick woman with no children, and she will not pose a threat to her cousins.Moreover, I can guarantee that my grandma will never have unreasonable thoughts, let alone disturb the family harmony of my cousins, my cousins ​​can rest assured on this point. "

Xiao Nan gently stroked the hidden pouch under the elbow with his fingers, and said slowly: "Well, I already understand what my cousin means. Don't worry, my cousin, Xiao Shi is a person who keeps promises. Since I said to be kind to Cousin Yang, I will treat you well." I will definitely treat her kindly. Of course, if my cousin is bewitched by others and does something bad, I will not condone it, and will deal with it fairly according to the family rules set by grandma."

After listening to Xiao Nan's words, Aunt Yang twitched her brows slightly, but she still kept her composure and said with a hearty smile: "Hehe, that's good, that's good, I know my cousin is a reasonable person. I will rest assured if I leave it to you." What she was afraid of was that Xiao Nan would be unruly and unfair.

Not long after, Uncle Cui also rushed over upon hearing the news, greeted each other with Aunt Yang, and both the host and guest were seated again.

Cui Youbo first thanked Aunt Yang for personally arranging his marriage with Yang Yu.

Aunt Yang smiled brightly, and said bluntly: "Cousin, you don't have to be polite. It was my mother's will to marry you when she was alive. Not only me and Aunt, but also Yang Xiaolang must abide by it. Cousin, just rest assured, with me here, I will never marry you." No one from the Yang family made things difficult for you by taking advantage of Ah Mu's marriage."

Hearing Aunt Yang's frank words, Cui Youbo immediately let go of the big rock hanging in his heart, and he also had the leisure to say some homely things to his cousin.

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Aunt Yang's smile suddenly faded, and she said with a worried face: "Well, speaking of which, my husband is also an idiot (in the words of cursing in the Tang Dynasty, idiot=fool, stupid), and he was tricked by others. It’s a good story, and I still don’t know anything, so I ran into Luoyang’s defenders with my usual friends... If it wasn’t for the fact that he is an in-law of the Cui family, he would have been thrown into prison a long time ago, alas , Whenever I mention him, I feel anxious, my good job has also been dismissed, and now I am thinking about it behind closed doors at home."

Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan looked at each other, then Xiao Nan nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips.

Cui Youbo understood, knowing that his wife had investigated the affairs of Mrs. Yang's husband's family in advance, and their family's affairs were not serious, so he could help.

Cui Youbo also guessed the purpose of Mrs. Yang's visit, now that she has heard her words so clearly, what else is he not clear about?
With a slight smile, Cui Youbo said: "Cousin, don't worry, we are in-laws, and I can't just sit idly by if something happens to my cousin's husband. How about this, my cousin still has some relationship in Luoyang, and I will handle the marriage with Ah Mo." It's over, after Mrs. Yang returns to Luoyang, she can directly look for my cousin."

Hey, done!

Aunt Yang was relieved when she heard the words, she knew that such a trivial matter in her family was not worth anything in the eyes of the nobles in Beijing.

Well, for the sake of Cui Youbo and his wife being so happy, she will definitely persuade her younger sister to let her live a peaceful life after living in the house, and don't listen to her aunt's instigation and become an enemy of Xiao Nan.

Half of the purpose of this trip was achieved, Aunt Yang felt relieved, and happily went to Rongkang Hall to talk to her sister.

On the other side, Cui Yabo and others also entered the capital.

Standing in front of the familiar gate, Cui Yabo hurried in without hesitation. He didn't rush to say hello to his mother, but to talk to his old man.

Alas, thinking of the little lady sitting in the carriage outside the door, Cui Yabo felt dizzy, why did he have such an errand?

If the eighth brother and his wife knew that he brought him back in the future, they might not be able to blame him.

Now Cui Yabo only hoped that Cui Youbo and his wife would be reasonable and magnanimous, and would not take their anger out on him.
