The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 560
What a guy who wants to be an official!
Xiao Nan couldn't help cursing in her heart, but then, after reading the second half of the letter, she fell silent again.

In the letter, after Cui Youbo finished the official explanation, he told Xiao Nan his real thoughts from the bottom of his heart:

Why did he go to Shanzhou in the first place? All the dignitaries in the capital and even officials all over the world knew that it was nothing more than a fight between gods and ordinary people.In Cui Youbo's words, the sage ordered him to go to Shanzhou not so much because he valued his talent, but as a compromise after a contest with King Wei.

To put it harshly, Cui Youbo's trip to Shanzhou was like a ridiculous farce from beginning to end.

Even if it's a joke, even if someone points at him behind his back, Uncle Cui will rush to his post in a serious manner.

Of course, this is not to say that Cui Youbo has no ideas in his heart. It is indeed an opportunity to go to Shanzhou, but if possible, he really does not want to go to the post under such circumstances.

For this reason, Cui Youbo said to Xiao Nan in his letter: "Now that the king of Wei is returning to the capital, if I go back with him, this 'joke' will be confirmed. I can't do this, I can't let people treat my Cui family like this... "

How noble and proud he is from the Cui family. Obedience to the king's order and loyalty to the country are the duties of duty, but he is not criticized and ridiculed like he is now.

Therefore, Cui Youbo said: "I must stay in Shanzhou... I am the governor who guards the side for the saint, and I am definitely not a chess piece for the nobles... Even if there is a war in the west, even if I die in Shanzhou, I can't Back...I can't let the Cui family be ashamed, I can't let the world look down on me, Cui Youbo, and I can't let people have the opportunity to mock my children..."

For some reason, seeing this, Xiao Nan's eyes turned sour, and mist appeared in his eyes.

Cui Youbo, this man with a lot of bad deeds, unexpectedly has such decisive and tenacious moments.To put it a bit 'artistic', Cui Youbo's image in Xiao Nan's mind instantly grew.

Especially when he saw the last sentence, Xiao Nan was even more moved inexplicably, yes, for the child!
In the past few years, she has done so many things that wronged herself, so why not for the sake of her children? !

Forget it, Cui Youbo was a 'man' so easily, as a wife, she should cooperate well.

Pulling out the handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Xiao Nan threw the letter into the smoke cage beside her, watching the white paper covered with handwriting being swallowed by the flames, she closed her eyes slightly, and slowly organized her words.

In order to get Cui Youbo back, Princess Aniang sacrificed face and begged the saint.

Now that the matter is over, Cui Youbo doesn't appreciate it, but it's hard for him to tell everyone publicly, so she has to think of a way that people can accept, which can not only block the mouths of the world, but also make A Niang Calm down.

When Xiao Nan was thinking hard, she didn't know that her princess A Niang already knew Cui Youbo's reply.

Cui Youbo not only wrote a letter to Xiao Nan, but also wrote a secret letter to the saint.

Of course, compared to the heart and soul with his wife, the memorial to the saint is very official.

In the memorial, Cui Youbo first thanked the sage for his concern, with sincere feelings and gorgeous rhetoric, he patted the sage's dragon buttocks fiercely, only seeing the emperor in a happy mood.

Then, Cui Youbo explained in detail the situation of the eighteen prefectures in Longyou, and also focused on the situation of the Helu tribe. In Cui Youbo's words, the situation in Longyou was not optimistic, and everyone knew that Helu was ambitious.

Afterwards, Cui Youbo briefly talked about his work after arriving in Shanzhou. Although he did not describe what he had done in detail, his words still revealed that he had already started work in Shanzhou and that all the affairs were ready. , If you leave at this time, then the previous efforts will be in vain.

In the end, Cui Youbo sincerely stated that he is not afraid of war and is willing to defend Shanzhou for the saint!
I have to say that Cui Youbo's writing style is really good enough, but the memorial with more than ten thousand characters, the emperor is firstly comfortable, and finally moved, and sighs that Cui Youbo is a loyal and pure minister.

Of course, the emperor is the emperor after all, and he will not be like Xiao Nan, who is so moved that he can’t find Bei because of a few words. He has not forgotten that he promised the eldest princess, but Cui Youbo’s words are right, everything is just as Cui Youbo said , He Lu has a change, there must be someone in the west who can support it.

Looking at the eighteen prefectures in Longyou, the emperor's confidantes are only two or three out of ten, and there are very few people as courageous and capable as Cui Youbo. In terms of official affairs, the emperor is really reluctant to let Cui Youbo return.

Don't let him come back, wouldn't it be hard to explain to my sister?

After all, when the empress dowager woke up two days ago, she took his hand and asked him to take care of his brothers and sisters.Now that the eldest princess has only made such a small request, he can't even satisfy it, which is really shameful.

Not to mention that it was difficult for A Niang to explain in front of her, even he himself felt embarrassed.

Seeing the hesitation on the emperor's face, Mrs. Su asked softly, "Saint, what's the matter?"

"Ah~"

The emperor sighed and said, "This matter is indeed a bit embarrassing!"

The emperor respected the late emperor, and wanted to imitate the old saint everywhere, plus he and the Su family were married, and the husband and wife had shared weal and woe for 20 years, so he was willing to discuss some things with his wife.

Moreover, Cui Youbo's matter is related to the eldest princess, and it can barely be regarded as a family matter, so it doesn't hurt to talk to the queen.

"Hehe, it's not difficult,"

After listening to the emperor's words, the queen pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "The sage didn't want to break his promise and sister, and ordered Cui Jieshi to return to Beijing... But the problem is, Cui Jieshi wanted to do something, and didn't want to return to Beijing at this time, but It has nothing to do with the saint. Elder sister is not unreasonable, and she also wholeheartedly hopes that her son-in-law will be successful, so she will not misunderstand the saint!"

The emperor didn't understand what the empress said, but he was too embarrassed to tell his elder sister.

The queen saw what the emperor was thinking, and without thinking too much, she said directly: "If the sage can trust the concubine, it is better for the concubine to tell the eldest princess. Don't worry, the concubine whispered to her, if the princess still wants Cui When the governor comes back, the sage will not be too late to issue an order."

It would be a good idea to have the queen as a buffer.

The emperor nodded and handed the matter over to the queen.

In the afternoon, the queen came to visit the empress dowager as usual, and when she saw the eldest princesses standing in front of the couch, she first asked the empress dowager in a low voice, and after hearing that the old man was still the same, she sighed faintly, showing regret He looked sad again, and then stood respectfully in front of the bed.

Not long after, Princess Changle, who was resting in the side hall, came over. She didn't ask questions like a queen, but sat silently in front of the couch and guarded the queen dowager.

The queen sat on the other side, and she took a special look at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess noticed it, raised her head to meet the queen's gaze, paused for a while, then got up and went to the side hall again.

Seeing that the eldest princess was so clever, the queen sighed in her heart, and followed her out without delay.

"What's the matter?"

The eldest princess didn't make any detours, and went straight to the point.

"This matter... well, I don't know how to tell my sister."

The empress hesitated to speak, and after she had done enough, she said slowly: "Today the sage received a flying letter from Cui Junma..."

The queen didn't make any embellishments, and directly told the eldest princess about Cui Youbo's desire to stay in Shanzhou.

Finally, he said with shame on his face, "The sage was very embarrassed after seeing Cui Junma's memorial. If he is allowed, he will break his promise to sister, but if he is forced to come back, he is afraid that he will be dissatisfied... After all, Cui Lang is also dedicated to making progress—"

The eldest princess raised her right hand to interrupt the queen. She looked into the queen's eyes and saw that she didn't dodge. After a long time, she said slowly: "I know. I wanted to invite the saint for Shiro's safety. Send a few more people to escort. As for Su Chun, it is an important state matter!"

She won't be honest and say that she interferes with the appointment of court officials by relying on the honor of the eldest princess.

The queen's eyelids twitched, she had expected that the eldest princess would not talk easily, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Yes, yes, sister cares about the brothers and sisters the most. Back then, when I just entered the door, thanks to my sister's guidance, this I didn't make a mistake..."

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, and quietly listened to the queen recalling some trivial things in the past. As she listened, her expression eased. Well, she has been with the Su family for nearly 20 years. This woman may be a bit cautious , but the heart is not bad.

Moreover, the eldest princess knows the relationship between Xiao Nan and the Su family, and it is not a bad thing for her daughter to get along well with the mother of the country.

But in the face of Su's overtures, the eldest princess didn't want to express her opinion easily.The son-in-law also told her that since the empress gave birth to the third prince, the atmosphere in the court has been somewhat delicate.The battle between the new king and the king of Wei has come to an end, but a new round of battle for succession has quietly started.

The eldest princess is well aware of her influence in the clan.

Kindness is rewarded with kindness. Over the years, the eldest princess and his wife have taken good care of their younger siblings and the Li clan. When the late emperor was around, she was favored. She had money and was kind. She really helped a lot. Few people, after more than [-] years of operation, the eldest princess faintly has the posture of a leader in the clan.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Eldest Princess expresses support for Su's mother and son, then three quarters of the clan will side with the Third Prince.

On the contrary, if the eldest princess turns to support Concubine Wei Shu's mother and son, then the situation of the queen and the third prince will be a little bit bad.

Although on the surface Princess Ping'an has a grudge against Xiao Nan, it is impossible for the eldest princess to form an alliance with Wei Shi for the sake of her only daughter.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!Although the queen didn't know this sentence, she knew very well that besides Xiao Nan, the eldest princess had two biological sons.

If Webster promised the future of those two children, the eldest princess would definitely turn around and support Webster.

You can't blame the queen for thinking wildly. In the past, she didn't have a son, so she didn't have the confidence to fight.Now that she has the third prince, she will do her best to pave the way for him.Therefore, she must think of all possible things and prepare in advance.

Winning over the eldest princess is the queen's first move.

After rambling on about a lot of past events, the queen saw the warmth in the eyes of the eldest princess, and then changed the subject, and said: "Even a saint remembers sister's goodness. In the 16th year of Zhenguan, the Manchu court Everyone said that Shiro was good, only my sister treated us and my wife as before."

16 years of Zhenguan?
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes slightly, and then she remembered, yes, the "Kuo Di Zhi" edited by Shiro that year was finally completed, and the whole court praised it.

At that time, the new emperor, who was still the prince, was in a very bad situation. Some people who were attached to Shiro even released rumors, saying that the prince was in all kinds of troubles, such as emphasizing martial arts over literature, reckless and maniacal, etc... In a word, he was not like his father. !
To put it more bluntly, the prince is morally incompetent and embarrassing.

The reputation of the prince here is getting worse and worse, and there is the talented King Wei over there. Comparing the two, there are really some people who don't know the truth and stand on the side of King Wei.

There are also many people in the clan who are optimistic about King Wei, but turn to speak ill of the prince.

In addition, King Wu and others also took the opportunity to stir up trouble, and only described the prince as a heartless, lustful, tyrannical madman.

Since that year, the struggle between the princes and the prince has been officially brought to light, and the situation of the prince's family is very difficult.

At that time, the eldest princess was one of the few people who did not get involved in the battle for the succession, and treated the prince consistently, which made the prince's family very grateful.

Hearing the empress mention this matter, the eldest princess also had a smile on her lips, and said with a little nostalgia: "It's nothing, Gao Ming is my younger brother. Aye, Auntie told me since I was a child, I am the elder sister, you must take good care of me." Brothers and sisters!"

"No matter what, the saint and I will never forget sister in this life,"

The queen said this sentence a lot more clearly, and then she said: "Two days ago, I heard that two brothers, A Zhen and A Zhi, from my sister's family also entered the school. The saint was very happy, and said that my mother's health has improved. , let the two young men enter the palace..."

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, smiled faintly, and said: "I think so too. When Shiro comes back and Auntie is well, I will wait for two little demon stars to greet Auntie and the saint!"

The queen nodded with a busy smile, "That's good!" She had already agreed with the saint that when the Xiao family's twins entered the palace, they would be promoted to officials.

The meaning of the empress's move was very clear, she wanted to tell the eldest princess that she could give whatever future Webster could promise, and she would give much more than what Webster promised!
In the evening, the eldest princess came out of the palace and sat in the carriage. She leaned on the hidden bag tiredly, closed her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her voice, "Go to Rongshou Hall!"

"Yes!" The coachman outside hurriedly agreed, flicked his whip swiftly, and drove the carriage towards Qinrenfang.

Wei Rui Courtyard, the main hall.

Xiao Nan was sitting in the hall, watching the quadruplets play while listening to Yuhan's report.

"I received three more invitations today, Princess, please take a look!"

With that said, Yuhan sent the received invitation to the small table in front of Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan leaned on the hidden pouch, stretched out his hand and casually dialed three invitations, and said, "Oh, I have received invitations one after another in the past few days, and they are all from families with children aged seven or eight?"

Yuzan sat down on her knees, nodded and said: "That's right, the servant girl didn't pay attention to it at first, but later I heard someone talk about it, and then I discovered something strange."

Xiao Nan smiled slightly, and she knew that after that day's Cuju competition, her Jiwei Academy would attract more people's attention, and her reputation would become more and more famous.

Then, she asked again: "Oh? You said you heard about it? What's the matter? Does it have something to do with the academy?"

Yuhan nodded, this is not a secret matter, but all the dignitaries in the capital have heard of it.Her princess is too busy these days, so she doesn't have time to pay attention.

She leaned forward and asked, "Does the Princess know Yuyang County?"

Xiao Nan was startled, and immediately said: "Oh, but the Yu family in Anyi Fang?"

Yuzan nodded, "Hehe, the princess has a really good memory. When the servant girl heard about it, she couldn't remember who the son of Yuyang County was."

Although these words were meant as a compliment, Yuhan really admired her sincerely.There are so many dignitaries in the capital, a small county that founded the country, one is not a dignitary in the dynasty, and the other is not an old friend by marriage, he exists like a little transparent, most people really don't pay attention to it.

Moreover, this Yu family is not a family, but when Gao Zu raised his troops, the head of the Yu family had a vicious vision, so he courageously donated two-thirds of his family property to support the Li family.

Gao Zu sat in the country, rewarded the meritorious officials, and granted the Yu family a fifth-rank founding county son, with five hundred households in the city.

Otherwise, no matter which dynasty, it was easier to get a title when the country was not founded.

Thinking about the Yu family, at the beginning they only took out two or three million copper coins, and without licking blood, they easily changed to a fifth-rank title, from a landowner to a powerful family.

Would you like to try it now?
Let’s just say two or three million guan, that’s two or 300 million guan.

Noble title?

Don't even think about it.

You know, even though the title of the county son is very low, and there are only five hundred households in the fiefdom, this title can be inherited. There are still food seals for three hundred households.

Now, the old head of the Yu family is old, and both of his sons died early.There are only two grandchildren around.

Here comes the problem. According to patriarchal law, the title is passed on to the eldest son. If the eldest son dies, it will be passed on to the second son. If the second son also dies, it will be passed on to the grandson.

The two sons of the Yu family are both descendants, and the two grandsons are also descendants, the eldest grandson is born of the second son, and the only son of the eldest son is the second grandson.

According to the law, the title of son of Yuyang County should be passed on to his grandson, but the grandson is not convinced, and he is more than ten years older than his cousin, and now he has a family and a business, and his son is three years old.As for my cousin, who is only seven years old now, he is still a kid who doesn't understand anything.

The eldest grandson would not be happy to give up the title of county magistrate to a brat.

Fortunately, Yu Xianzi was old and not faint, and insisted on passing the title to his grandson.

But the Yu family boss quit. On the surface, he didn't dare to resist his grandfather's decision, but secretly he tried his best to assassinate his cousin.

What is "adding ingredients" to the meal, what is colluding with idlers in the market to "rob people"...Anyway, Yu Xiaolang lives in the schemes of his cousin all day long.

In the end, it developed to the point where Yu Xiaolang couldn't even go to school. As long as he walked out of his grandfather's yard, he might encounter various "accidents".

Just when Yu Xianzi was very worried, Xiao Nan's Jiwei College began to enroll students.

The Yu family was barely regarded as honorable and lived in a high-end community. Although Xiao Nan didn't post directly to the Yu family, he sent enrollment brochures to the neighbors of the Yu family with great fanfare.

When Yu Xianzi heard the news, he hurriedly asked people to inquire. When he heard that the college hosted by Xiangcheng County had recruited students, he also asked the students to live.

Other parents don't like the so-called "boarding-style fully closed" management. Yu Xianzi was very excited when he heard about it. The boarding style is good, and the closed style is better, so that his little grandson can go to school safely.

For the sake of his children and grandchildren, Yu Xianzi took great pains. He knew that all the "accidents" of the younger grandson were caused by the elder grandson, but he was reluctant to let him deal with the elder grandson.The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, and the old man will feel distressed whichever one is given up.

Moreover, Yu Xianzi insisted on passing on the title to his younger grandson, and felt somewhat guilty towards his elder grandson.

Therefore, the only thing he can do is to send his little grandson elsewhere, at least let him grow up safely before he takes over the throne.

And the academy of the princess of Xiangcheng is the best place to go. Yu Xianzi knows the eldest grandson very well.

After making up his mind, Yu Xianzi began to rely on connections and search for a way out, and finally managed to get his grandson into the academy.

Sure enough, after Yu Xiaolang entered Jiwei Academy, Yu Dalang really settled down for a while. In order to prevent Yu Dalang from having the opportunity to assassinate his cousin, Yu Xiaolang would not go home when the college was on holiday. If the old man missed his grandson, he would Come to the college to visit him every ten days.

In this way, the Yu family finally calmed down, and Yu Xiaolang was very comfortable in the college. Although the little guy is young, he is quite precocious under the various "hardening" of his cousin.

He knew that his current safe life in the academy was hard-won, so he cherished it all the more.I worked very hard while studying, and studied all the courses very seriously. After a few months, the little guy has grown a lot stronger and improved a lot in his studies.

Yu Xianzi was very happy to meet him.

The grandparents here are happy, but Yu Dalang over there is going crazy.Watching his cousin grow up day by day, the title of title is getting farther and farther away from him, and the management of Pianji Micro College is strict, so he can't get in at all.

After scratching his head and thinking for several months, Yu Dalang finally had an idea.

This day is the holiday of the college. According to the usual practice, Yu Xianzi will come to visit Yu Xiaolang. As a result, Yu Dalang's only son fell ill, very seriously. Leave it alone.

So he ordered his personal servant to go to the academy and tell Yu Xiaolang.

What the old man didn't expect was that his little boy had already been pinned down by Yu Dalang. The little boy ran to Jiwei College and said to Yu Xiaolang, "Xianzi is sick." He hurriedly followed the boy home.

Since it was a holiday, and it was a young boy from Yu's family who was registered in the register, the guards did not stop him.

Yu Xiaolang got into the carriage, at first he was just worried about his grandfather's body and didn't pay attention, but later he realized that something was wrong, the carriage was not going in the direction of his home at all, and it was getting more and more remote.

Yu Xiaolang is very smart, and he has the experience of several "accidents" before, so he immediately understood that it was not his grandfather who was seriously ill at all, but his good cousin did another dirty trick, but he didn't know what kind of dirty trick this time was.

Strangely, Yu Xiaolang didn't yell in panic, nor did he call for help. Instead, he felt faintly excited, as if he was looking forward to the next thing...
