The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 396 Flattered (Part [-])

The lingering winter is far away, spring returns to the earth, and in a blink of an eye, the first month comes out.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and people who have been silent for a whole winter are starting to go out of their homes, calling for friends to go to the countryside for spring outings and horseback riding.

The annual Spring Festival is about to begin, and the scholars rushing to take the exam have already arrived in the capital. Now that the New Year's Eve is over, the streets and alleys have a special scene of sackcloth and snow.

Many things that were delayed due to the Chinese New Year have also been put back on the agenda, such as the expansion project of the Rongshou Hall, which has also officially restarted.

Every day, more than [-] craftsmen are busy in the inner courtyard of Rongshou Hall, moving stones, building walls, digging ponds... Several large construction sites are surrounded by burlap curtains, and only the sound of clanging can be heard. come out.

Other than these noises, Rongshoutang's life didn't have much impact, and Xiao Nan and his two children's routines were as usual.

In the morning, after Lingxi and Changsheng got up and washed, they went to the main bedroom to greet Xiao Nan, and then the mother and son went to the main room together for the morning meal.

After eating the food, Lingxi went to the "boudoir school" that was packed temporarily to attend classes. Four members of the Cui clan from Luoyang also attended the class with her. Clan sisters, so get along more harmoniously.

This temporary boudoir school is located on the west side of the Weirui Courtyard. It is not an independent small courtyard, but a row of three houses facing the water. On the opposite side of it is the Tingxin Lake of the Cui family.

The main rooms of the three houses are used as classrooms, and the size of the room is not small enough to accommodate more than a dozen people in class.

However, there are only five students now, divided into two rows, with two seats in the front row and three in the back row.

Book cases and banquet seats are unified.

When Lingxi came in, all four classmates had already arrived.

"Consonance, good morning!"

The person who spoke was Cui Shu, seven years old this year, a pink and tender little lolita, as her name suggests, she is a quiet little lady.Only one year older than Lingxi, but very sensible.She sat in the same row as Lingxi, both in the front row.

Lingxi took the schoolbag that Xiao Nan sewed for her from the little maid, and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Ashu, good morning!"

"Oh, the skirt Lingxi is wearing today is so beautiful, the fabric is a gift from the emperor, it's so gorgeous!"

A little girl sitting on the right back of Lingxi ran up to him, looking enviously at the scarlet floor-length skirt on Lingxi.Her name is Cui Cheng, she is eight years old this year, although she is only two years older, she already knows a lot about the world, and when she speaks, she is a bit of a philistine.

Lingxi bowed her head and saluted, and thanked her with a smile: "Thank you, sister Cheng, for your compliment. My sister's bun is also very beautiful, and it matches my sister's clothes very well."

She doesn't like or dislike Cui Cheng. A Niang once said that everyone's background creates her unique character. You can disagree with her actions, but you can't hate or despise others because of it.

Cui Cheng's gaze was firmly fixed on Lingxi's skirt, it wasn't because she had shallow eyelids and had never seen the world, it was because the material was so exquisite, whether she looked at it from a distance or up close, she couldn't see the gaps in the fabric .

She has also seen several kinds of expensive fabrics, but whether it is silk, silk or brocade, there are more or less traces of weaving, but the skirt on Lingxi's body is as smooth as paper, and the warp and weft threads cannot be seen with the naked eye. gap left.

"Yes, what kind of fabric is this, I have never seen it before."

This time it was Cui Ying, who was the same age as Cui Cheng, but compared to Cui Cheng's worldly sophistication, she was more composed, and she looked at the crimson dress with more appreciation than envy.And the words are very straightforward, people listen to her, not only will not feel that she has never seen the world, but will think that the little girl is frank and cute.

Lingxi bent his knees slightly, and said: "So that Sister Ying knows, this is Liaoling. It is said that it was brought as a tribute from Yuezhou. Because it has to be calendered after weaving, it is also called calendered silk." One of the most expensive fabrics, because of its exquisite workmanship, gorgeous and exquisite, it is only used by the royal family.The few horses in Xiao Nan's hands were given to the Eldest Princess by the Empress during the Chinese New Year, and the Eldest Princess gave her in turn.

"No wonder it's so smooth, there's not even a gap. It turned out to be calendered."

Cui Ying nodded. She has learned a bit of brocade weaving and heard of some techniques, such as 'calendering', which can flatten the silk thread and almost fill up the gaps. Repeated processing in this way can make the fabric smooth and free of gaps.

Cui Lan, who was the only one who didn't speak, was also surrounded by Lingxi, sucking her little finger and looking curiously at the highly acclaimed long dress.

Among the four clan sisters, Cui Lan is the only one who is the same age as Lingxi, and the little guy is cute and cute, and is loved by several clan sisters, even Xiao Nan, who also likes her very much when she sees her. Her few fine trinkets and bric-a-brac.

For example, the stone-carved rabbit-shaped mats at the four corners of her mat at the moment were appreciated by Xiao Nan.

At this time, the little maid waiting at the door hurriedly reminded: "Little aunt, the master is here!"

Upon hearing this, the little lolis all sat back in their seats, straightened their backs, and waited quietly for their master to arrive.

Today is the class of Mrs. Xu Wanxu, who is good at the history of classics. Lingxi knelt on the mat, took out a book of historical records from her schoolbag, and put it on the desk.

Just as everyone sat down, Mrs. Xu walked in slowly.

The little lolis straightened up one after another, saluted and said, "I've seen Mrs. Xu!"

Master Xu knelt behind the desk in front of the classroom, raised his hand slightly, "Excuse me!"

Lingxi's little maid quietly retreated outside the door, and after a while, Mrs. Xu's crisp voice came from the classroom.

……

Lingxi and his friends went to class, and Changsheng also began to formally enlighten.

During the Chinese New Year, Xiao Nan specially asked the old man to give his son advice in his free time.

Originally, Xiao Nan wanted to throw his son back to his natal family to be taught by Aye, but since Aweng was expelled from Beijing, Aye moved back to Xiao's house, and was busy taking care of family affairs and taking care of the children in the clan all day long. There is no time to teach the twins in person, and only at night can the school sons' homework be tested.

Seeing that his father was so busy, Xiao Nan had to think of another way.

Coincidentally, the old man's Rongkang residence is very close to the Weirui courtyard, and the old man is very knowledgeable and capable. Not to mention his brilliant experience as a great minister and decades of life experience in troubled times, but only to say that he only disciplined him back then. After living with Cui Youbo for a few months, Cui Youbo passed the Jinshi examination, which is enough to prove that the old man's skills are extraordinary.

After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Nan finally decided to hand over his son to the old man. It is quite normal for the great-grandfather to teach the great-grandson.

As for the old man, he also had a very good impression of Changsheng. On New Year's Eve, he observed the little guy carefully, and he deeply felt that if he was trained well, he would definitely become a leader among the fourth generation of the Cui family.

Coupled with the fact that the eldest lady has made troubles several times, the old man has noticed, and he also wants to make up for Cui Youbo and his wife.

So, after listening to Xiao Nan's request, the old man readily agreed, and set aside an hour and a half every day to personally enlighten Changsheng.

After eating the court food, Changsheng, surrounded by a group of maids and women, walked to Rongkangju for class on short legs.

Feng Shanggong felt a little distressed when he saw it, and murmured in Xiao Nan's ear more than once: "It's at least two or three miles from us to Rongkangju, even if you don't take Xi's car, you should have a shoulder for Changsheng. "It's tiring for such a small person to walk such a long way back and forth every day.

However, Xiao Nan insisted that the children are too young to learn martial arts or equestrian skills, and they can only rely on walking for daily exercise.She doesn't want to raise a weak and sick son who has no strength to restrain the chicken.

But seeing that Feng Shanggong really cared about her son, she couldn't say it too directly, so she smiled and said: "There is also a maid who follows. If he is tired, Honghua will hug him."

Hearing what Xiao Nan said, Feng Shanggong didn't want to say anything more, secretly thinking about preparing some nutritious daily food for Changsheng, to give him a good supplement.

Watching Feng Shanggong go to the kitchen, Xiao Nan lay back on the couch, holding his huge belly and reading the new legend in his hands.

Yuzan came in with a tray, "Princess, have a bowl of milk."

Xiao Nan put down the book, took the white porcelain cup, and sipped the warm milk.

Now that her belly is getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Nan can be sure that there is definitely more than one child in her belly without the need for an imperial doctor to check her pulse.

After drinking the milk, she handed the empty cup to Yuzan, and asked casually, "Is there any news today?"

Yuzan put the empty cup on the snack bed, and moved a month-old pot to sit in front of the couch, and gently helped Xiao Nan rub his swollen leg, "No. However, according to Yuzhu, Ah Da once secretly gave her a The reply said that A Jin was very arrogant in Xie County, and she clearly ordered the Xie County's camp guards to crowd out the princess's Jiawei. The Jiawei may not get the latest news, so—"

Xiao Nan picked up the book again, and said indifferently: "Crazy? Hehe, it's good to be crazy. I originally wanted to get someone to provoke A Jin, but I didn't expect her to start shaking." Only being crazy can cause trouble. Only by causing trouble can Cui Datong's shoes be taught a lesson.

Yuzan's hand paused, then continued to knead, she considered her words, and said: "A few days ago, Mr. Lang sent a letter, saying that with the help of those camp guards, the salt lake was guarded to death, and the local aristocratic families also had some I can't sit still anymore, I think my lord's errand will be done soon... The servant girl is worried..."

Xiao Nan raised his head and asked puzzledly, "What are you worried about?"

Yuzan pursed her lips, "I'm worried, Ajin and her elder brother have helped Mr. Lang a lot, will she, after she comes back, also become arrogant and not take the lady seriously?" People with black history.

Xiao Nan hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a mocking smile: "Don't worry, no matter how arrogant she is, she is still a concubine with no status. If she wants to seek death, I will help her. Besides, can she and Cui Dezhi help? The Lord is not sure yet, it's too early to worry about this now!"

Just as she was talking, Yuzhu walked in with a strange expression, "Lady, your lord has sent Ajin back."

Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, no way, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, this is too wicked.

Yu Zhu handed over a letter, "This is a letter from Mr. Lang to you."

Xiao Nan threw the book aside and unfolded the letter paper, she smiled, "Hehe, my lord, it's really...I'm really 'flattered' by him doing this!"

Unconsciously, Xiao Nan's taunting mode was fully activated, and anyone could hear her sarcasm full of flattery.
