Chapter 37

The old lady recognized a scroll of bamboo slips 'made' by Xiao Nan as an ancient book, does it mean that the old lady doesn't know how to do it?

of course not!

The old lady was born in a noble family, the Cui family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and there are countless antiques and ancient books in the family.

In this way, does it mean that Xiao Nan's counterfeiting skills are very superb?
Nor is it!
Xiao Nan is not a counterfeiter, and he only appreciates ancient books, so there is no way to make fakes.

The reason why this so-called "Ancient Prescriptions" can fool the eyes of the old lady, and even the eyes of more professional ancient book experts, is all the magic of Taoyuan.

When it comes to this, we must start with the basic functions of Taoyuan.

It turned out that in her previous life, when Xiao Nan was planting vegetables in Taoyuan, she accidentally discovered that there was a huge time difference between the time in Taoyuan and the time outside, and there was also a large time difference between each area in Taoyuan. After several experiments, In the end, a set of objective data was obtained: the time difference between the central area of ​​Taoyuan and the outside world is 10:1, that is to say, after staying in the space for ten days, only one day has passed outside; the time difference on the north side of Taoyuan is 15:1; The time difference on the west side of the south side is 20:1; the time difference on the east side is the largest at 50:1.

Among them, the time difference at the edge of Taoyuan is the largest, especially in the chaotic area filled with white smoke. Among them, the edge area on the east side is the largest, and the time difference between it and the outside world is as high as 300:1.Moreover, Taoyuan is upgraded and expanded eastward. With the continuous expansion of Taoyuan, the time difference of its easternmost edge is also increasing, and it reached 70000:1 at the highest time.With such a huge time difference, even if Xiao Nan randomly puts a bowl in the past, it only takes one day and one night, and then he takes it out to be an ancient object that has been used for more than 20 years.

Of course, the current level of Taoyuan is still very low. After more than 20 days of Xiao Nan's management, it has just been promoted to the second level. The maximum time difference is only 400:1, but this is enough for Xiao Nan to use for fraud.She selected an old bamboo slip from a pile of ancient books sent by Wang Jinbao, then washed the ink with spring water in Taoyuan, and then used a carving knife to write down some food therapy experiences in the previous two lives. Then throw it to the easternmost Chaos Zone.

20 days later, when Xiao Nan took out the bamboo slip, it was already 30 to 100 years older than the original one, and the bamboo slip was originally an ancient relic over [-] years old, which made it look even more primitive and vicissitudes.In addition, the bamboo slips are contaminated with the rich aura of Taoyuan, which makes it look a little fairy, and people can feel that it is not a vulgar thing at a glance. Even if it is not an ancient book from the pre-Qin period, it must be more than a few hundred years old. of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

This is also the fundamental reason why the old lady regards it as a real ancient book.

Xiao Nan nodded, and said: "The old lady is well-informed, and she can tell the source of this thing at a glance. Speaking of it, it is also fate. A few days ago, Wang Jinbao from Dongshi gave me some ancient books. I flipped through things casually, and found such a treasure without thinking about it. It’s a pity that I am young, and I don’t see much. I managed to recognize it for a few days, but I only recognized a few words.”

"Hehe, look at what you said? I'm not an outsider. Are you still trying to be humble in front of me? Although the characters in this ancient book are difficult to read, it's not a heavenly book. Why is it so difficult? However, this is really a problem. It’s a good thing, although I don’t quite understand the prescriptions on it, and I don’t understand the meanings of some of the names, but it doesn’t look fake.” The old lady closed the bamboo slips and put them on the table, she pondered for a moment, Said: "Well, for the sake of safety, I'll invite an imperial doctor to come and take a look later, and I'll also give you a pulse. Anyway, you are pregnant with a child now, and everything is about the child. As for the poisoning The Rats—"

Speaking of this, the old lady seemed to have just seen Mother Qiu lying on the ground, she snorted coldly, and said very displeasedly: "Although you didn't do this, it's because of your dereliction of duty. It almost caused a catastrophe. You are an old man who follows me, and you understand my rules, so tell me, what should you do next?"

Mother Qiu felt that something was wrong when the old lady ignored her.Then the old lady's words made her heart jump even more.However, after all, she has been with the old lady for more than 40 years and knows her master's temperament very well. She lowered her head and chewed through every sentence of the old lady's words, and finally figured out what the old lady meant. Said: "What the old lady said is that the mistake I made by myself, I dare not refute it, so I will go to investigate the matter of the milk, and after the old lady has dealt with the matter, I will go to the young lady to get it. fine."

"Just receiving the punishment is enough?" The old lady snorted dissatisfiedly, then turned her head to look at Xiao Nan, and said with a smile: "Qiao Mu, you are not an outsider, so my old lady can say whatever she wants. Then In front of Princess Changle every day, I patted my chest to protect you, but this kind of thing happened again... Sigh, I really have no face to see Your Highness the Princess... Although Mama Qiu is getting older, she is no better than the people around you. The wet nurse is capable, but she has been with me for more than 40 years, and she is still loyal... Do you think this is good, before you give birth, let Qiu's mother go to your place to serve you, she can't do careful work, but help you take care of the little girl, It’s okay to run errands.”

Xiao Nan's eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy.Originally, when she brought the matter of milk to the old lady, she wanted to use the old lady's power to frighten some people in the Cui family. At that time, she also thought about asking the old lady for two useful women to sit in her .You must know that in a big family like the Cui family, the young wife is pregnant, and the elder mother-in-law or even the mother-in-law will often send the capable servants around her to help take care of the pregnant woman, and secondly to show an attitude .And the servants sent over are often related to the degree of favor the young lady has in front of the elders.

Take the young lady as an example. When she was pregnant for the first time, both the old lady and the eldest lady sent a mother in charge to take care of her. Such a high standard is the first among the young ladies of the Cui family. first portion.

However, compared to the current Xiao Nan, it is still worse, because at that time, the old lady sent over was just an ordinary steward in the kitchen of Rongshou Hall, who could cook some medicinal food, but compared to Mother Qiu, a confidant, she definitely It's a little bit of a big deal.

Xiao Nan can imagine that as soon as the old lady spreads the news about Qiu's mother being sent to her, the Cui family's attitude towards her will definitely change fundamentally. A woman whom her husband loves not only can't hold her head up among her sisters-in-law, but also loses a bit of confidence in front of servants.

However, the old lady's great love can completely reverse her situation in Cui's house. As for those who secretly want to play tricks, knowing the old lady's importance to her, they will also weigh it before doing it.Of course, the premise is that they can safely escape the punishment of the old lady——Xiao Nan has every reason to believe that after her disturbance this morning, if the old lady wants to calm things down, she will have to deal with them ruthlessly. Otherwise, Princess Changle There, she really couldn't explain it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan was very satisfied, and he still declined a few words, "How can this be done? Mother Qiu is a capable mother who takes care of the old lady. Although I am pregnant with a child, I am still a junior. How can I—"

Who is Mother Qiu? When she heard the old lady's words, she knew that it was the old lady's disguised intercession to Xiao Nan on her behalf. Stepping up to Xiao Nan's bed, he kowtowed and said, "The county lord is really flattering this old servant. It is my blessing and the old lady's wish that this old servant can serve you. Please don't refuse me... Although the old slave is stupid, he can still do some rough work, I beg the county lord to give the old slave a chance..."

"Okay, Qiao Mu, you see how pitiful Qiu's mother is, so you can take her back, hehe, so that this old bastard won't cry when he's old."

"Yes, old madam." Xiao Nan winked at Qin's mother, and Qin's mother understood immediately, hurried forward a few steps, enthusiastically supported Qiu's mother, and kept saying, "Oh, old lady." It's our good fortune that my sister can go to our place... I've heard that the old sister has the best manners, and when you come, the little girl in our yard really has to trouble the old sister for your help..."

Mother Qin dragged Mother Qiu out of the main hall, and the two exchanged warm greetings.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan raised the corners of his mouth happily, sweeping away the miserable and mournful appearance just now.

The old lady was secretly relieved when she saw it, and she began to plan in her heart to find time to call the first lady, the second lady and the third lady to clean up the Cui family.

Xiao Nan spoke again, "Madam, Qiao Mu has something else to ask you." Since she lives here with the old lady, she has to study the old man's strengths, well, etiquette is too abstract. , Let’s learn from the simple "flower planting" and "flower arrangement"...
