The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 364 Wishful thinking ([-])

Time passed quickly, and it was September in a blink of an eye.

During this period of time, Xiao Nan was very busy. When Sun Ling first came to the capital, she was busy ordering someone to quietly inquire about Sun Ling's details. After confirming that there was no problem with Sun Ling's background, she went back to her mother's house and begged her son-in-law. With Aye's help, she obtained the identity of Xiao's daughter for Sun Ling's deceased mother, and even solved the problem of Sun Ling's identity in Rongshoutang.

After setting up Sun Ling, Xiao Nan can't be free, and she has to be busy with Yang Yu's entry.

Although Xiao Nan really didn't want to take care of this matter, there was no other hostess in Rongshou Hall besides her, and the eldest lady next door was watching, if she didn't show up in person, the eldest lady might volunteer to come and mess around combine.

Xiao Nan didn't want to provoke this 'immortal', after thinking about it, she still bit the bullet and made a statement in person.

Fortunately, Xiao Nan has several capable ladies in charge. With them, Xiao Nan only needs to talk, and the specific matters will be handled by his subordinates.

In a strangely lively atmosphere, Yang Miao finally entered the Rongshou Hall, and shyly moved into the North Courtyard.

That night, Cui Youbo was half-pushed by Xiao Nan and sent to the 'new house' to spend the spring night with his cousin.

"Aniang, you, aren't you sad?"

Lingxi sat beside Xiao Nan, holding her arm with her small hands, and asked worriedly.

Xiao Nan knew his daughter Zaohui a long time ago, so he was not surprised to hear her asking this question, but said lightly: "Sad, but, consonant, Aniang will tell you, for a woman, Lang You are not everything to her."

Saying that, Xiao Nan casually picked up a white-glazed printed flower-mouthed bowl, and took out a dozen or so strawberries inside.

Pointing to the empty bowl, she said, "Lingxi, look, this is like A Niang's heart."

Xiao Nan twisted a strawberry, "This is Lingxi." Then he put the strawberry into the bowl.

She twisted another one: "This is longevity."

Then came the third one: "This is Lingxi's grandfather."

The fourth one: "This is Lingxi's great-grandmother."

Every time Xiao Nan picked up a strawberry, he named one of her closest people, and then put all the strawberries into the bowl.

After counting seven or eight in succession, Xiao Nan picked up the last one, and said softly, "This is Aye from Consonance."

However, this time, Xiao Nan did not put the strawberry 'Cui Youbo' into the bowl, but pointed to the flower mouth bowl which was already [-]-[-]% full: "Lingxi, look, plus this one, Aniang's The heart is complete. But without this one, A Niang still has many worries in her heart, and this one only accounts for one tenth of the whole heart. Even if she is sad, it only hurts one tenth of the heart. Heart."

After a pause, Xiao Nan looked at his daughter, "Lingxi, do you understand what A Niang means?"

Lingxi looked at the bowl full of strawberries, then at the strawberry in Xiao Nan's hand, her immature face was full of thought, after a long time, she nodded slowly: "Mother, I understand , you mean, besides Aye, you also have us, so as long as we treat you well, even if Aye does something sorry to you, you won't be heartbroken?!"

Xiao Nan smiled lightly, stuffed the strawberry in his hand into his daughter's mouth, then embraced Lingxi into his arms, and said softly: "That's right, that's what A Niang means. In fact, it's not just A Niang, many women in the world That's all."

Lingxi seemed to understand but half understood, looking up at Xiao Nan with her delicate face up.

In the end, Xiao Nan concluded: "So, I am really sad that you, Aye, took a concubine, but when I think that I still have a smart daughter, a lovely son, and loving parents... there are so many people in the world who love me, I care about my loved ones, no matter how sad my heart is, I should let it go."

After understanding these words, she nodded her head vigorously, "Don't worry, Auntie, brother and I will be very good and will always be filial to you."

Xiao Nan just smiled and said nothing, but hugged Lingxi tightly.

The next day, with a bit of embarrassment in her shyness, Yang Xi came to greet Xiao Nan in a brand new dress.

Xiao Nan was very magnanimous, and he happily accepted Yang Xi's gift, and then rewarded her with a precious gold-backed jade comb with swan goose and branch pattern.

Then, in order to show Yang Xiao's status as a noble concubine, Xiao Nan specially called all the other concubines of Cui Youbo, and ordered them to greet Yang Xiao.

Jinzhi, Yuye, Feiyi, and Bisi are Xiao Nan's confidantes, and they are extremely respectful to their master. After hearing Xiao Nan's words, they all came up to salute Yang Yu, and they even called Yang Yu Aunt Yang .

As for Fu Rong, she has been out of favor for many years, and she was 'trained' by Xiao Nan's deity in the early years, so she has always been in awe of this mistress.She dared not disobey her master's orders, so she followed closely behind the four pretty maidservants, respectfully saluting Yang Yu.

Only Ajin's eyes flashed with displeasure, and she cursed again and again in her heart: What noble concubine?He didn't write a marriage letter, and he didn't have a courtesy appointment. Except that he came from a better background, he was no different from them.

Now she wants to bow her head to Yang Xie, A Jin is very unconvinced.

However, she still held back the resentment in her heart, and after the others had finished saluting, she forced a smile and walked forward, bowed her knees and gave a half salute.

Yang Yan is not blind, let alone an idiot. Of course, she can see that A Jin is different from other people. In addition, she has been ridiculed by A Jin before, so she doesn't like this maid.

Seeing that A Jin was so unrespectful now, Yang Miao was even more displeased.Even Xiao Shi had spoken, but Ajin dared to defy the law, she really did not follow the rules.

Pursing her lips, Yang Yu didn't say anything, but she had already made a decision in her heart. When she saw her cousin later, she must tell him well.

After meeting each other, Xiao Nan repeated her rules, which were nothing more than admonishing them to abide by the rules, to serve you well, and to do more needlework if you have nothing to do on weekdays.As for greetings and so on, they are all ignored, unless she takes the initiative to call, it is better for everyone to stay in their own rooms.

Yang Lai was worried that Xiao Shi would make things difficult for her because of her status as a big wife, and make herself set the rules. After hearing what Xiao Nan said, she let out a long sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's okay, not letting her come to the main house to set the rules, it also makes her less embarrassed and sad, at least she won't be reminded all the time that she is a lowly concubine.

After the training, Xiao Nan sent them away.

That night, Xiao Nan still drove Cui Youbo to the North Courtyard.

The next day, Xiao Nan ordered someone to invite an imperial physician who was good at gynecology. The imperial physician confirmed that she was indeed pregnant, and it has been two months now.

With this good news, Xiao Nan changed his name and justifiably drove Cui Youbo to sleep with his concubine.As for which one he sleeps with, it depends on the means of those concubines.

In the first few days, Cui Youbo rested in the north courtyard, the relationship between the cousin and the cousin was really deep, and the two also had a taste of newly married.

Aunt Yang was very happy to see her, and she let go of the big rock hanging in her heart. After she handed over all her parents' belongings to Yang Yu, she was ready to return to Luoyang.

Coincidentally, Cui Yabo was leaving Beijing too, when Uncle Cui heard about it, he entrusted Aunt Yang to Cui Yabo and asked him to take Aunt Yang back with him.

As for Aunt Yang, she also wanted to make friends with Cui Hong and his son. Now that she had the opportunity to establish a relationship, how could she let it go, and happily left the capital with Cui Yabo's motorcade.

After sending Aunt Yang away, Yang Xiao leaned against the window and shed tears for a long time.

That day happened to be Ajin's turn to attend the bed. She had just washed and dressed, and made a few exquisite snacks with her own hands. She was about to have a good talk with Mr. Wang about life and ideals, and roll a bed sheet to make a person or something.

Don't want to, the little maid's cry came from outside the window:

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun, it's not good, Aunt Yang's old illness has happened again."

When Cui Youbo heard that his cousin was ill, he dropped the wine cup in his hand, got up and left A Jin's room without saying a word.

"Lang Jun~~~"

A Jin hurriedly chased after her, only seeing a figure from behind.

"Bang", A Jin swung hard, and all the dishes, cups and other utensils on the snack bed fell to the ground, smashing into pieces.

"Yang Yu! What a sick and weak Aunt Yang, I, A Jin, remember you, you, you wait!"

A Jin lay on the kang, beating the hidden bag next to her bitterly, seeing her angry look, she almost regarded the hidden bag as Yang Xiao.

In the following days, similar dramas continued to be staged in the inner courtyard of Rongshou Hall.

As long as Cui Youbo didn't go to the North Courtyard, Yang Miao would definitely get sick that night, either with a headache or brain fever, sometimes simply because of a bad mood, excessive sadness would cause fainting, and the other concubines who hated her would curse Yang Miao quietly under the quilt It would be best if you can't get sick and die straight away!

In this regard, Xiao Nan did not intervene, but happily watched a play with a plate of strawberries - tsk tsk, I really didn't see it, Yang Yan, who is as sick and lonely as Lin Daiyu, would also play such tricks.

Just as Cui Youbo frequently comforted his cousin and Xiao Nan watched the play happily, Feng Shanggong came.

As planned by the Eldest Princess back then, Feng Shanggong was bestowed upon Xiao Nan by the empress herself, accompanied by Feng Shanggong, there were two court ladies who were about to retire, one surnamed Huang and the other surnamed Tian.

These two court ladies used to work with Feng Shanggong. One is proficient in writing and ink, and the other is good at settling accounts. They are both management assistant talents.

It just so happened that the two of them were about to leave the palace, and they had a good relationship with Feng Shanggong, so the empress graciously gave them to Xiao Nan together.

"...The two of them are just like the old woman, they are helpless poor people. Even if they leave the palace, they have nowhere to go...I know that the princess's wife is a kind person, so I licked my face and begged the queen. Your Highness sent them to you, please show kindness and give them a place to stay."

Feng Shanggong has a rich appearance and a soft voice, but there is a faint solemnity and rigor between his brows.

Xiao Nan hurriedly laughed and said: "Hehe, what is Shang Gong talking about? I have heard that you are a very stable person. Since Aunt Huang and Aunt Tian were trained by you, they must be capable people. Talent, I can’t ask for it.”

Feng Shanggong smiled slightly, and looked at Xiao Nan unobtrusively. When she was in the palace, she had heard many stories about the princess of Xiangcheng.

Whether it was the early youth and frivolity, or the recent virtuous and virtuous, they were just rumors. Now that he met the real person, Feng Shanggong discovered that this legendary princess lady was really similar to the royal nobles she was used to. Women are very different.

How should I put it, according to Feng Shanggong's observation, Princess Xiangcheng's eyes are very clear, her smile is very sincere, and she doesn't cover up when she speaks... No matter what Xiao Nan's true temperament is, Feng Shanggong's first love for her is It feels good.

Feng Shanggong looked at Xiao Nan, and Xiao Nan was also observing Feng Shanggong.Well, the old woman in front of her is very similar to the person in her impression: on the surface, she looks honest and simple, but she is really smart and capable. When she speaks, she seems to be gentle and gentle, like a loving neighbor.But if you observe carefully, you can still find that every little action of hers is so standardized and rigorous.

When meeting for the first time, Xiao Nan and Feng Shanggong had a very good impression of each other.

But whether the two can get along intimately in the future depends on the efforts of both parties.

Xiao Nan's performance was straightforward, he immediately ordered people to clean up the small courtyard next to the main courtyard, and ordered people to prepare high-quality furnishings and utensils, and invited Feng Shanggong to stay.

In addition, according to the master's rules, Xiao Nan equipped Feng Shanggong with four big maids, eight young maids, and a number of sweeping servants.

As for the two aunts Huang and Tian, ​​Xiao Nan also ordered one of them to stay by Feng Shanggong's side to serve the pen and ink, and the other to go to the accountant to help settle the accounts based on the principle of 'making the best use of their talents'.

Feng Shanggong heard Xiao Nan's arrangement, so he recommended himself and asked Xiao Nan to arrange an errand for her. She came to help Xiao Nan with the housework, and by the way, shocked the eldest lady and other Cui family's female family members, and did not come to be the ancestor.

Xiao Nan saw that Feng Shanggong was very persistent, so he entrusted Feng Shanggong with the general affairs of the family. Of course, he did not ask her to be responsible for the specific butler affairs, but asked her to be an inspector, responsible for supervising and managing the various departments and bureaus of Rongshou Hall , and two ladies in charge.

Feng Shanggong was very satisfied with this errand, and just after getting settled, he asked Xiao Nan to call the two housekeepers, Yuzhu and Tie Niangzi, as well as the stewards of each department and house, to meet with everyone. The account books and work records of the last month were handed in, and she checked them with Aunt Huang on the spot.

Feng Shanggong asked Xiao Nan to reward those who did outstanding work; Feng Shanggong immediately sent them to the punishment room for those who were lazy at work and punished according to Cui's family rules.

Xiao Nan sat in the main seat and watched silently. She would agree to and actively cooperate with Feng Shanggong's various requests.

After being so busy for two days, Feng Shanggong sorted out and familiarized herself with the affairs of Rongshoutang, and then she started her normal work.

Seeing how dedicated Feng Shanggong was, Xiao Nan felt more at ease, and directly entrusted the Rongshou Hall to Feng Shanggong, so that he could raise his baby with peace of mind.

With the strict management of Feng Shanggong, the servants in each department and room of Rongshoutang are more attentive to their errands, and their work efficiency is nearly double that of the past.

Even Cui Youbo, who never cared about the affairs of the inner house, felt the difference in the atmosphere at home, and said that the wife was good at running the family.

Today, Xiao Nan sat on the map with his son and played as usual.

Yuzan leaned over and replied: "Lady, Jin Zhi is asking to see you."

Hearing this, Xiao Nan lowered his head and casually said a place name to his son, leaving him to look for it on the map alone, while he got up and came to the main seat, "Let her in."

Well, what new moves does Ajin have?Or does Aunt Yang have any new tricks?

Xiao Nan picked up a strawberry, ate it in small bites, and thought curiously.

"Slave, my lady, please!"

Jin Zhi respectfully kneeled down to Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan waved his hand, "Get up, no need to be polite!"

Jin Zhi knelt and sat down obediently.

Xiao Nandao: "Say it, what's the matter?"

Jin Zhi straightened up and replied respectfully: "Lady, I have discovered that recently, Ajin has been in close contact with Aunt Lu from the Cuizhuyuan next door. Every three to five days, Ajin has to visit Aunt Lu."

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Are Ajin and Aunt Lu on good terms?"

Aunt Lu is not a good idiot, of course, she was able to plot against the Wu family one after another, and finally forced the Wu family away, partly because the little Lu family supported her, but the most important thing is that Aunt Lu's personal ability is strong.

A Jin hangs out with such a concubine all day long, so it's inevitable that she will be influenced by her.

Jin Zhi: "Yes, since A Jin came back from the farm, she often went to Cuizhuyuan."

At this point, Jin Zhi paused, with some speculation in his tone, "I think that A Jin might have known Aunt Lu a long time ago, otherwise she would not have visited her as soon as she came back."

Although everyone is a concubine, if you want to get to know each other, you need opportunities.

For no reason, A Jin ran to Cuizhuyuan, obviously the two had known each other for a long time.

Xiao Nan nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Is there any more?"

Jin Zhi was shocked, and said in a low voice: "Nu, I found out that after A Jin came back from the Cuizhuyuan the day before yesterday, he immediately searched for someone to deliver a letter to her natal family."

Xiao Nan didn't say a word, A Jin often wrote letters to her natal family, either complaining or asking for money, and now she didn't find it new.

Seeing that Xiao Nan didn't respond, Jin Zhi knew the reason, she bit her lower lip, and continued: "Of course, it's not surprising that Ajin sent letters out, but what's strange is that after she delivered the letter, she always asked about the Sun family's little one from time to time. News about the lady. Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that Ajin quietly went to the Xikua courtyard to talk to the young lady."

Hearing this, Xiao Nan's heart trembled, "What? She went to talk to the little lady of the Sun family?"

In name, Sun Ling is a cousin living in Cui's house, and she is a distinguished guest that Xiao Nan values.And what was A Jin, a concubine, going to see Sun Ling for no reason?
Could it be that Ajin wants to use Sun Ling to make trouble?still--

Wait, Ajin is on good terms with Aunt Lu of Cuizhuyuan, and Aunt Lu is Cui Yabo's concubine. What if Cui Yabo accidentally slipped his mouth and revealed Sun Ling's real identity in front of Aunt Lu?

The more Xiao Nan thought about it, the more frightened she became, she couldn't help but start to make conspiracy theories, and even began to wonder if Ajin already knew Sun Ling's true identity, and she went to see Sun Ling just to test it out.

Jin Zhi didn't know the many speculations in Xiao Nan's mind, she echoed: "Yes, I followed Ah Jin all the way and watched her enter the Xikua courtyard. However, she only stayed there for a stick of incense, and came out At that time, his expression was a little sullen, as if he had encountered something unhappy."

Xiao Nan didn't speak, and thought for a long time before beckoning for Yuzan and ordering her to bring a bottle of Yulu to Jin Zhi.

Seeing Jin Zhi happily accepting the vial, Xiao Nan added: "I'm pregnant now, and I can't take care of your husband, so you should be more careful."

When Jin Zhi heard the words, his eyes lit up sharply, and he kowtowed repeatedly, "Yes, slave, slave, I will obey."

After dismissing Jin Zhi, Xiao Nan said to Yuzan in a low voice: "Go, send someone to Xikuayuan to ask what Ajin was doing in Xikuayuan yesterday, and what did she say to the young lady of the Sun family?"

Yuhan agreed and withdrew.

At this time, Yu Zhu hurried in.

"Miss, Princess Antong sent you a post, inviting you to go to her villa to appreciate chrysanthemums in three days."

While speaking, Yuzhu held a red and golden greeting card to Xiao Nan with both hands.

"Oh," Xiao Nan took the greeting card, opened it and looked at it, "Hehe, she really has a taste for elegance."

In other words, since King Wu's rebellion was put down, the crown prince's position has become more stable, and Princess Antong, the eldest daughter of the prince's concubine, has also become active.

Although due to the mood of the sage, everyone did not dare to entertain and entertain, but it is still allowed to hold a small-scale flower viewing banquet or poetry competition.

And Princess Antong is the one who is most willing to hold various banquets among the many noble ladies. Every few days, she holds small banquets for various reasons.

Invite a group of boys and girls, fresh clothes and angry horses, with fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, it is very lively.

In this regard, there are many rumors in the market, the most unbearable of which alludes to the fact that Princess Antong used the name of a banquet to invite young talents, and when he met such young, handsome and talented scholars, he tempted them with various conditions. Then he earned it from his own business and accepted it as a male favorite.

Xiao Nan had also heard many similar rumors, and some of the sources were quite reliable.

That's right, Princess Antong did take advantage of the banquet to look for beautiful men everywhere. Once she found a satisfactory prey, she would try her best to get it home and raise it as a noodle head.

When Xiao Nan heard the news at first, she couldn't believe it. In her mind, she still remembered the story of Princess An Tong angrily beating the mistress and the scumbag.

Xiao Nan always felt that the main reason why Princess Antong was so angry was that she cared about her husband Wei Yuan, so she couldn't stand the other party's betrayal.

As a result, in just three years, the neat woman who rushed into Chongrenfang with armored guards for her husband's support, has now turned into a somewhat dissolute and lustful lady.

As for Wei Yuan, he just sits idly by his wife's debauchery.

The husband and wife seemed to have made an agreement. The husband continued to take concubines and keep a concubine, while the wife took in more beautiful men.

Therefore, the story of Princess Antong raising male pets did not spread, at least the saints and queens in the palace did not know about it.

Yuzhu also heard the rumors in the market, she hesitated for a moment, "Ma'am, you are pregnant now, why don't you push it?!"

Xiao Nan shook his head, now that the Crown Prince is gaining momentum, the princess of Antong is also on the rise. Although she bears the title of princess, she is a hidden princess.

Moreover, based on the recent actions of Princess Antong, Xiao Nan felt that she had become a little fussy, even vengeful. If she offended her in some trivial matter, there was no guarantee that she would not retaliate in the future.

Forget it, it's just for viewing chrysanthemums, it's time to go out and get some fresh air.

Three days later, Xiao Nan took a group of maids and went to Antong Princess's villa in a mighty way.

An Tong was very happy to see Xiao Nan, greeted her warmly, and personally led her to the table.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xiao Nan also felt that there were too many male guests at the banquet, and these young boys were all handsome and elegant with red lips and white teeth...
