The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 437

As soon as the words fell, everyone was startled.

Even Cui Wei didn't expect Xiao Nan to help her out, she always thought Xiao Nan didn't like her very much.

Li Xianjun reacted first, and she asked in a sharp voice: "Why did the princess say that? That servant came from a famous family and is in a high position. How can it be ridiculous?"

Ping An also came back to his senses, played with the ruby ​​pendant of the peony fan in his hand, and asked coolly: "Yes, cousin, what is the reason for your words?"

Xiao Nan glanced at Lord Lu and Pingan, and said with a sneer: "I don't know about those first-class families, so I can't say anything. Let's take our family as an example. As long as there are slaves sent out in the family, no matter what the reason is The reason, whether it is doing good deeds or making other arrangements, is to directly return the bond of the servant girl, and will never sell the person back into the tooth shop."

While speaking, Xiao Nan's face unconsciously showed a look of pride, it was not deliberate arrogance, but a kind of arrogance exclusive to the aristocratic family, a temperament emanating from the bones, making people unable to bear it Look sideways, and then give birth to a trace of awe and admiration.

She continued to say: "For three or five pennies, you actually sold your servants to a dental shop... Hmph, this is not the tolerance that a first-class family should have, even us small families don't bother to do it."

"..."

Small, small family?The Cui family is from a small family? !Everyone felt a row of crows croaking overhead.

Well, if someone else said this, everyone would definitely spit on her and bring endless contempt and ridicule.However, it was Xiao Nan who said this, everyone wanted to vomit blood when they heard it.

Who is Xiao Nan?

She was born in the Xiao family of Lanling, and married into the Cui family of Boling. Both her mother's family and her in-law's family are top-notch families. Both families have hundreds of years of genealogy, and the family has several dynasties.

When she said this, everyone would think that she was humbly mocking herself, because in the clan annals of the Benkeng family, the No.1 one was not the Cui family.

If it were someone else, even the Li family who ranked first in the clan annals, they would be ashamed to say that the Cui family is a small family - people can be thick-skinned, but they can't be so shameless that there is no limit.

Cui Wei was overjoyed when she heard this, and she hurriedly echoed: "The princess is right, even in our palace, there is only reason to buy people. Besides, the slaves, at least serve the servants for a shot, and the servants are short of money. You shouldn't have sold that slave, tsk tsk, doing things like this is really against the harmony of people, and it's even more philistine than a vulgar businessman."

Hmph, aren't you mocking me for being a businessman? !The one you mentioned is not even as good as a businessman.

Li Xianjun blushed and argued forcefully: "Perhaps, perhaps the Pushe family has some unspeakable secrets?" She dared not say that the servant made a mistake and was betrayed by the Pushe family, because she praised the servant just now that he acted safely. If you say that, it's tantamount to slapping yourself.

Xiao Nan nodded, expressing his agreement: "Mr. Li is right, there are indeed many poor families who couldn't bear to sell their ancestral property, so they had to sell their slaves." His tone was full of emotion.

The noble ladies couldn't help smiling when they heard this, and said from their hearts: Princess Xiangcheng is really not kind, to say this in front of Li County Lord, it's like pointing at a monk and scolding a bald man.

Because according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, slaves and maidservants belong to the owner's property just like animals. If a family reaches the point where it wants to sell the property of the seller, then the family is not far from failure.For example, Li Xianjun's natal family, the Chen family, which had declined in the previous dynasty, had dismissed the trilogy, servants and maids in the family on a large scale, and finally sold off the family's ancestral property.

Li Xianjun was so choked that she almost lost her breath, her body trembled slightly, her eyes stared blankly at Xiao Nan, but she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Cui Wei felt more refreshed when she saw her. If she didn't remember that she was the master, she would have pounded the table and applauded.

Ping'an lowered his head halfway, still playing with the round fan in his hand, as if he didn't see Li Xianjun's embarrassment.

After a while, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Auntie, we've been here for a long time, why don't we see a feast? Hehe, I've heard that the stir-fried dishes at Auntie's house are a must, and I've been coveting them for a long time. Good day It's easy, Auntie, don't let me down."

When everyone heard the words, they also echoed one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene finally eased down.

From the corner of Cui Wei's eyes, she caught a glimpse of Li Xianjun who was about to bury her head under the food table, and her depressed mood was swept away. She regained her energy and warmly entertained all the guests: "Hehe, don't worry, I will definitely meet you." Let you return with satisfaction."

After all, Cui Wei led the servants to lead everyone into the main hall, ready to have a feast.

All the noble ladies got up one after another, carrying each other in twos and walking into the main hall while talking.

Because Xiao Nan had to take care of Lingxi, she got up slowly, and she was not in a hurry, holding her daughter's little hand, and slowly followed behind the crowd.

Cui Wei leaned over, Xiao Bu followed Xiao Nan's side, and said in a low voice, "Qiao Mu, thank you!"

Speaking of it, the current relationship between Cui Wei and Xiao Nan is rather complicated. She feels disadvantaged if she calls Xiao Nan 'sister-in-law', but she dare not make such a big deal when she is allowed to face Xiao Nan as an aunt. She has thought for a long time, Only then did she come up with such a compromise method, without mentioning the seniority of her in-laws, and directly address Xiao Nan's small characters.

Xiao Nan smiled slightly, and said softly: "We are a family, you don't have to be polite."

This time Xiao Nan was willing to make a move. First, he felt that Cui Wei had performed well in recent months, and she was willing to help. In addition, Cui Wei was more or less affected by her for the polo field incident that day;

Secondly, Cui Wei is the daughter of the Cui family after all, some people question her words and deeds, and the Cui family's upbringing will also be criticized. Now that Xiao Nan has sons and daughters, she doesn't want Cui's reputation to have any flaws.

The longer Cui Wei lived in ancient times, the more she realized the importance of her natal family for a married woman.

She raised her head, looked at Xiao Nan steadfastly, and said seriously: "Although that's the case, I still want to thank you." There are many Cui family members, but since she got married, even her own sister-in-law refused to accept him. Get close to her, let alone help her out.

After living two lifetimes, Cui Wei deeply understands a truth: no one has the obligation and responsibility to help her for free except her biological parents.

No matter what purpose other people take action for, as long as they help her, she must learn to be grateful.

Seeing Cui Wei speak sincerely, Xiao Nan's heart couldn't help being touched, and he couldn't help but think of a few years ago, when she first met Cui Wei, she had pitifully advised him to treat Wu Shi better.

Although Cui Wei didn't understand the current situation at that time, and she was ridiculously blind, but Xiao Nan couldn't deny that Cui Wei's starting point was good.

Well, Cui Wei persuaded herself once back then, and now she returned the favor, and persuaded her well.

Pausing in his tracks, Xiao Nan looked around, and after confirming that there were no outsiders, he lowered his voice, "There is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago, and it just so happened that someone brought up this topic today, so I took the opportunity to say a few words."

Cui Wei also stopped, turned slightly, faced Xiao Nan, and listened to her carefully.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan was even more satisfied, knowing that Cui Wei had really let go of her superior mentality of "time-traveling girl", finally learned to be patient, and knew how to listen to people's persuasion.

Gently hooking the corners of his lips, Xiao Nan said: "Actually, although Mr. Li's joke is too blunt, it is not completely unreasonable. The Cui family is a family of Ding Jia, no matter whether you know the meaning of the family representative, but There is one thing you must understand, that is, you can't mess with the rules of the family, and you can't lose the name of the Cui family. The noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty can indeed live freely and freely, without caring about the criticism of the world, but the women should also be vigilant, You can't indulge yourself arbitrarily and give people something to talk about."

Xiao Nan's meaning is very clear: Dear, since you live in ancient times, you must follow the ancient rules.

In addition, although the status of women in Datang was high, it was still a patriarchal society, and there were still requirements for women.

Perhaps for Cui Wei who came here, doing business is normal, and women earning money is beyond reproach, but for women from aristocratic families, merchants are vulgar people who can't stand on the stage, and Cui Wei who lets merchants enter the house is just It's a self-deprecation, not knowing the status.

Cui Wei opened her own polo field, held polo leagues, and even opened betting games to sell betting tickets.However, once she is too attached to money, she will be ridiculed by others, and she will be labeled as a market coward, and even ridiculed in public.

After hearing Xiao Nan's words, Cui Wei's face changed slightly, and after a while, she said sullenly: "I, I see, thank you for reminding me."

In the hall, all the noble ladies were led by the maids to sit down in the seats that had been arranged.

Pingan sat on the first seat on the right side of the chairman's lower head. After she sat down, her gaze swept across the audience, and finally landed on Li Xianjun who was huddled in the corner.

A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, Ping An seemed to have thought of something, she waved at Mr. Li, and said, "Mr. Li, I still have a vacant seat here. Come and sit here."

Mr. Li County was being run over by Xiao Nan, and he felt ashamed, when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head, seeing that Ping'an was smiling sincerely, he didn't seem to be joking about her.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xianjun stood up and walked slowly to Ping An.

Pingan turned around and patted the single couch beside him, "Come on, sit down quickly. My aunt also said just now that we are not outsiders. In detail, I should call you cousin."

Ping'an's words were very kind, at least Mr. Li felt very comfortable listening to them, and the embarrassment just now was swept away, she no longer hesitated, thanked in a low voice, lifted the hem of her skirt and sat down.

"Hehe, sister-in-law is too polite!"

Pingan became more and more cordial, took Mr. Li's hand, and chatted with her about homework.

Li Xianjun saw that Ping'an valued her so much, and felt that his face was bright, and followed the topic of Ping'an, and worked hard to cooperate.

The two were talking, when Ping An glanced at Cui Wei and Xiao Nan who came in from the corner of her eyes, she snorted coldly in her heart, changed the subject suddenly, and sighed: "Oh, my sister-in-law was wronged today."

Li Xianjun's smile was stifled, and then he said in an embarrassing way: "Yes, it's my fault, so what kind of joke are you talking about?" Cui Wei didn't make a joke, but was ridiculed instead.

Ping An disagreed, "My sister-in-law's joke is very good. To be honest, I don't like it too... Forget it, let's not talk about it, who let him be a famous Cui family? Who in the world doesn't know Cui's family?" fame?"

Mr. Li County snorted lightly, before hesitating to speak: "Tch, Cui family? Some people sued their family for seizing private property..."

PS: Um, this is to make up for yesterday's drop!
