The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 362 Wishful thinking ([-])

what?
The old lady's great-granddaughter?

Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan looked at each other, looking at the old man in disbelief.

In other words, isn't Mrs. Cui never married all her life? Where did her direct descendants come from? !

The old man was a little embarrassed by the young couple of the Cui family, so he turned his face away with a rare guilty conscience, and said with a lack of confidence: "It's a long story, and it's more than 60 years old. Now my sister has passed away. It's useless to talk about it."

After a pause, the old man took a deep breath, and said in a rascally way: "Anyway, Sun Ling is sister's direct bloodline, and now her parents are dead, and she has no relatives, so I found it with great difficulty...

Dalang, you are my sister's heir and grandson. According to your seniority, you are this child's uncle. From now on, she will live with your husband and wife. "

It's about my elder sister's privacy. The old man originally wanted to bring this secret into the coffin, but he didn't want his elder sister's descendants to find it. The tokens, names and so on were all right, so he couldn't just sit idly by.

But let him mention the absurd things back then in front of his grandchildren, and he, he couldn't save face. In desperation, the old man simply pretended to be a rogue, and directly told Cui Youbo and his wife the result. As for the antecedent, he refused to die. Say.

Besides, in the eyes of the old man, Sun Ling is just a little lady. In the future, finding a good marriage for her and accompanying her with a generous dowry will be fine. , It's just raising an extra little lady. Anyway, the Cui family has a big business, so it's not that they can't afford it.

Another point is that Sun Ling is 16 years old now, and she can talk about marriage right away. Cui Youbo and his wife only need to keep her in Rongshou Hall for a year or so, and they don't want them to raise her for the rest of their lives.

No matter how this account is calculated, Cui Youbo and his wife will not suffer a loss. With their ingenuity, there is no reason to refuse it.

Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan don't think so.

That's right, with the financial resources of their husband and wife, let alone one Sun Ling, they could afford to raise hundreds or eighty.

But the problem is not here, but that they need to know Sun Ling's origin.

Well, such a little lady appeared out of nowhere, her identity is unknown, her background is ominous, and the old man gave them people in just a few words. What kind of status do they treat Sun Ling?
If Sun Ling is really the old lady's direct bloodline, whether it's because of the old lady's affection or because of the patriarchal clan, the husband and wife should treat this child well.

But is Sun Ling a descendant of the old lady?What is the relationship between her grandmother and the old lady?
Also, in the eyes of the world, the old lady has never married, and she is a peerless hero of the Cui family.

Now a descendant suddenly appears, and it is very likely that the old lady's moral integrity will be involved. If this, this matter is not handled properly and spread, what will the Cui family's reputation be?What is the reputation of Rongshoutang?What kind of criticism will the old lady's reputation face?
The couple looked at each other, then lowered their heads in thought.

After a long time, Young Uncle Cui finally said with difficulty: "I have orders from you, and you should obey them. But, but this matter concerns grandma's reputation. If the Cui family accepts this child, grandma will definitely be criticized by others, and it is very likely Being reviled and ridiculed."

The old man frowned. It's not that he hadn't thought about what Cui Youbo said, but when he thought about his sister's suffering back then and the longing for his own daughter that he showed in the future, he couldn't bear to deny this child.

If this matter were placed on anyone else, the old man would be able to deal with it rationally, but if his sister was involved, it would touch the softest part of his heart, making him unable to calm down and think carefully.

Xiao Nan understood what her husband was thinking, and she went on to say: "Of course, we are not doubting the identity of this little lady, but just thinking about how to deal with this matter more safely, so as not to wrong Grandma's great-granddaughter, nor to cause Grandma's Reputation damaged."

Hearing this, Uncle Cui felt that his wife understood him, and nodded in a panic, "Yes, that's what we think. Ah Weng, in our situation, there is absolutely no problem in taking good care of Sun Ling, but, but this matter must There is a plausible reason. Besides, when Sun Ling gets married in the future, in what capacity will she marry?"

Straightforwardly, it is Cui's Shouzhen's great-granddaughter?

If this is the case, the Trident Cui family is still not sure how to attack and ridicule the Duoxiang Cui family.

Even the clansmen in Luoyang, it is estimated that some people will clamor to move the tomb of the old lady out of the ancestral tomb - what face does a married woman or an unfaithful woman have to be buried in Cui's ancestral tomb? !

After being told by Cui Youbo and his wife, the old man gradually calmed down. After all, he is a veteran who has been in the officialdom for decades. Once his sanity returns, he will think more and further, and even start conspiracy theories.

She looked at Sun Ling again with a somewhat unfriendly gaze—after the man took the child away, my sister spent more than ten years sending people to search everywhere, but she never found it. Now 60 years have passed, Suddenly a child appeared, holding a jade pendant and a belly bag that my sister gave to her daughter, and said that she was a descendant of my sister, isn't it a coincidence?Or was it deliberately arranged?

It has to be said that old Xianggong and Cui Youbo are worthy of being their grandparents, and the two of them immediately thought whether the family was playing tricks.

At this time, Sun Ling, who had been kneeling and pretending to be a wallflower, spoke, and she saluted the three present and said loudly: "Don't worry, three nobles, I, Sun Ling, did not come to seek wealth. Back then My great-grandmother once told my mother-in-law, unless you can’t live on, don’t bother your great-grandmother.”

As she spoke, the little girl's pretendingly strong face revealed a hint of sadness and helplessness, "My son, if my parents hadn't both died and I have no other relatives at home, my son wouldn't want to go to Beijing."

Hearing this, the old man's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Well, this is a bit like what that man said. He was such a stubborn temper back then, otherwise he would not have slipped away quietly with the child, causing the My sister lived a lonely life.

With such an upright and stubborn Aye teaching, my sister's daughter should also be a very tough person. It is reasonable for her to tell her children and grandchildren not to harass the Cui family.

Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan also looked at each other, seeing their surprised reflection in each other's eyes.

Sun Ling was still talking: "I have been in Luoyang for more than ten days, and I have heard many stories about the old lady, and I understand what the three nobles are worried about. In fact, it is not only you, but I don't want to ruin the reputation of the old lady. .”

After a pause, Sun Ling seemed to be pondering, and after a while, she said softly: "When my son first arrived in Luoyang, he had no food and clothing, and he was seriously ill. If it wasn't for the free medical treatment by the doctors in Ci'an Hall, my son would have died a long time ago." Died in that ruined temple. My son was very grateful for the kindness of the master of Ci'an Hall, so when he heard that the master wanted to choose a few young ladies of the right age to accompany his daughter, he recommended himself and wanted to join Cui's family to seek a job as a female wife. It's also a mix of food and clothing."

Sun Ling shook his sleeves, his fair face was full of pride, "I am not talented, but I can write a few strokes, and I can practice calligraphy with the little lady in your house on weekdays."

The old man became more and more sure that this child was a descendant of his elder sister. The pride brought out in his bones was not something ordinary people could pretend to be.

After thinking about it, the old man looked at Cui Youbo and his wife, this time he didn't order directly, but asked silently with his eyes.

Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan were also contemplating. Although they only heard a few words from Sun Ling, both husband and wife could feel that this little lady was a tough and proud person, not the kind of idler in the market, nor that kind of person. A villain who is dazzled by wealth and honor, and flatters his master.

Moreover, listening to her talk and seeing her behavior, she should also be well educated.

Xiao Nan winked at Cui Youbo, then nodded slightly.

Cui Youbo understood, and said with a smile: "May I ask, what are the names of the little lady's parents? Where are the ancestral home?"

Sun Ling didn't understand what he meant, and replied subconsciously: "Father's surname is Sun Yuyun, his name is Kangning, and his ancestral home is Yizhou; his mother's surname is Xiao, but she is not a daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling."

Lanling belongs to Cheng County, and Cheng County belongs to Yizhou. In Yizhou, there are not a few people from the Xiao clan.

Hearing this, Xiao Nan clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "So it turned out to be the queen of the tribe—"

The old man also understood that Xiao Nan had already recognized Sun Ling, and was trying to help her 'arrange' a reasonable and legal identity.

Half a month later, Xiao Nan took the two children back to his mother's house, went to the study to discuss with his father, and returned to Rongshou Hall in the afternoon.

Half a month later, Xiao Nan announced to the outside world that a distant niece came to his hometown in Yizhou. She was very good at calligraphy. He specially invited her home to be a companion for the eldest daughter. It means that children are also teachers and friends.

It is said that Xiao Nan liked this niece named Sun Ling very much, and when he returned to his mother's house, he took her there specially. The eldest princess was also very satisfied with seeing her, and even rewarded Sun Ling with some jewelry and fabrics.

After that, whenever Xiao Nan took his daughter out, he would also take Sun Ling with him, and actively introduced her to the ladies he knew.

After this series of actions, the ladies of the upper class in Beijing knew about Sun Ling, and they also knew that although this little lady had no father or mother, she was in the eyes of the Princess Xiangcheng. But with the Cui family and the Princess of Xiangcheng as their backers, everyone is more polite to her.

After a few months of socializing, Sun Ling has gained a firm foothold in the capital, and she is even more grateful to Cui Youbo's family, and she is extra careful when teaching Lingxi.

However, there are many dignitaries in Beijing, and new things are emerging one after another. The appearance of Sun Ling, like a leaf falling into the sea, did not cause too much waves in the capital. After a long time, everyone turned their attention to other things. place.

However, Sun Ling was still missed by some caring people.

Especially those who faintly heard about Sun Ling's real identity, secretly had wishful thinking, thinking about how to gain both money and man...
