The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 718 Back
After working in Taoyuan for most of the night, it was only at dawn that Xiao Nan rubbed his shoulders, supported his waist, and returned to the dormitory to sleep extremely tired.

But being tired also has its benefits, Xiao Nan's insomnia healed without medicine.

In the next hour or two, she slept soundly, didn't even have a dream, and woke up at noon.

Looking at the high-hanging sun, Xiao Nan felt a little embarrassed, but she was also the mistress of the family, even though she didn't do housework very often, there was no reason for her to sleep until the sun was up.

Yawning and rubbing his eyelids, Xiao Nan raised his voice to call someone in.

Yu Shui, Gu Yu and other maidservants had already been waiting at the door, when they heard the master's voice, they hurriedly responded, and then filed in with mouthwash, warm water, bath beans and other things.

Changing into a homely dress, Xiao Nan asked someone to comb her a loose bun again, and she didn't wear any complicated jewelry on her head, only a simple hollowed-out flower head in the jewelry box. The red gold hairpin asked the maid to insert it for her.

After tidying up, Xiao Nan got up and came to the main room, and asked as he walked, "Where are the young men and young ladies?"

Yuhan followed closely behind, and replied in a low voice: "Feng Shanggong and Yuzhu served them with the court food, and the young men and young ladies went to the study separately to study."

Xiao Nan nodded, and asked again: "What's the matter at home? Is there any news from the neighbors?"

Yuzan hurriedly said: "There is nothing important at home, I only received a few invitations that were not very important, and the servant girl has already disposed of them according to Madam's habits.

The lady next door ordered someone to send some exquisite pastries, saying that they are all the specialty dishes handed down from our Cui family. Because the production process is cumbersome and the ingredients are rare, so they are rarely made at home on weekdays.Yesterday was my husband's big day, so the kitchen over there made some treats.The eldest lady said that since she has done it, she might as well make more, and let the wife, Xiao Lang, and young ladies try something new! "

The eldest lady here refers to the Wang family. Cui Yanbo returned from a filial piety. Under Cui Ze's operation, he entered the secretary province as a young supervisor, from the fourth grade.

Wang's wives are honored by their husbands, and they are also enshrined as the county monarchs of the fourth rank.

It stands to reason that the honorific title for Wang should be Junjun Cui, and of course calling her Madam would not be considered presumptuous.

Xiao Nan nodded, she knew this, the Cui family did have a lot of family dishes, and these recipes were also passed on to the eldest son of the successor family along with the sacrificial fields, ancestral house and other objects.

Xiao Nan and Wei Shi also learned a few dishes deliberately, but they were only a fraction of the huge Cui family's recipes.You know, there are more than 100 private dishes handed down by the Cui family ancestors.

Xiao Nan didn't care too much about this, after all, she has the memory of later generations and knows quite a few dishes, but it's not as particular as the ones recorded in the Cui family's recipes.

Hearing that the pastry was made by the big kitchen of Rongkang Hall, Xiao Nan said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is still thoughtful. By the way, have you ever returned the gift on my behalf?!"

Yuzan hurriedly lowered her head and replied: "It happened that Yulian made some medicinal meals to cool off the heat and invigorate Qi. The servant girl dared to ask Yulian to prepare a copy of each, and asked the maid who brought the things to take it back as a gift."

Xiao Nan smiled, and she knew that with Yuhan's ability, she didn't need to worry about these small things.

Satisfied, I praised: "You did a great job. Oh, and, have you ever made some mild and easy-to-cook pastries to send to your aunt and aunt?"

These two made great efforts yesterday, otherwise, Xiao Nan would have to face more than just Huo Shi and Nan Ping.

Seeing that Xiao Nan was happy, Yuzan couldn't help showing a smile, and said softly: "Madam, don't worry, the servant girl was made by Yulian early in the morning, and sent away warmly. In addition——"

Having said that, Yuzan paused, as if hesitating a bit.

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "What else? Let's talk about it together, hehe, is it possible that I still blame you?"

The two of them, master and servant, have been together for ten years. If you add the memory of the deity, the two of them have been together for more than ten years, and the time spent together is longer than that with their parents, husband, and children.

It can be said that in this world, besides the blood relatives, Yuzan and the other four are Xiao Nan's closest partners.

As long as it is not a major issue of principle, Xiao Nan will not bother with them.

After hearing this, Yuzan hurriedly said: "That's right, yesterday Wang Langjun (referring to Wang You'an) ordered some people to send some new Shu brocades, and the servant girl saw that the colors were too bright, so she decided to divide the dozens of Shu brocades on her own. Make three copies, one for the second old lady in Dongtang (Rong'an Hall), one for Mrs. Li's old lady, and the last one for Aunt Cui (referring to Cui Jiang)."

Of course, the things she sent must be in the name of Xiao Nan.

But these are all the master's things, and she gave them away privately without the master's knowledge, which is somewhat beyond the rules.

Xiao Nan blinked, slowly digested who these three titles corresponded to, and nodded after a while, "Oh, you did a good job. Those brocades that are too bright in color can't be supported by a young woman like me." However, it is the elderly people like aunts, aunts and aunts who can wear clothes."

Agree and agree, but what should be beaten still needs to be beaten, Xiao Nan said again: "You are in charge of these trivial matters, but the accounts must be clear. Yuhan, you are the person I trust the most, don't do things that make me sad Come here."

Yuhan almost knelt down to plead guilty, if Xiao Nan hadn't pulled her arm, she would have knelt down now, "I know I was wrong, ma'am, you treat me well, even if my servant is broken to pieces, I won't be able to repay you. Don't worry , the servant girl is alone and has nothing to worry about, the only thing she cares about is you and the little masters, so—"

Anyone may betray Xiao Nan, but she won't!The big deal is death, she is not even afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of? !
Xiao Nan paused, looked at Yuhan firmly, and said softly: "I know your loyalty to me, but what I want you to do next is very dangerous, and now you still have a chance to go back on your word. Don't worry, I I will never blame you for backing off."

Before Xiao Nan could finish speaking, Yuzan knelt down on the ground with a thud, made a big salute with her head touching the ground, then raised her head, her gaze was firm and persistent.

Xiao Nan felt very relieved, she bent down to help Yuzan up, and helped her wipe the dust off her knees, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really my good Yuzan. Let's go to Liushui Pavilion and talk slowly! "

I still remember that in the first life, Xiao Nan once watched an old classic movie "Fengshen Bang".I have forgotten most of the plots, but I am deeply impressed by one plot, that is, in order to prevent Shunfeng'er from eavesdropping on their conversation, Jiang Ziya deliberately went to the place where the water flowed to talk.

There was the sound of gurgling water, but the small voices of people's conversations were drowned out.

Xiao Nanshen felt that this plan was quite good, even though all of Wei Rui's courtyards were her people, she was not quite sure that there were no spies mixed in here.

Thinking back to when Li Rong was able to sneak into Cui's house from the underground waterway, to paraphrase an advertising slogan, it is really 'everything is possible'.

So, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Nan took the jade hairpin to the flowing water pavilion of Rongshou hall, and sat in the pavilion with flowing water and dripping water everywhere, so that he could avoid the heat and whisper something that no third person would know.

"……Do you understand it?"

Xiao Nan grabbed Yuhan's ear and muttered for a while, and finally withdrew his body and asked in a low voice.

Yuzan looked solemn, she nodded vigorously, "My servant understands, last time before you entered the palace, you gave instructions to your servant, and that time, your servant went to check on it quietly, and it was absolutely safe."

It's just that the last preparation didn't work.

Xiao Nan's expression was still solemn, and he repeatedly urged, "Whether it's useful or not, as soon as I go out, you can prepare it yourself. It's better to prepare one more time, and never make a mistake at a critical moment!"

Yuzan met Xiao Nan's gaze, and nodded slowly, "The servant girl obeys. Madam, don't worry, as long as the servant girl is alive, she will definitely complete the task you entrusted to the servant girl!"

However, Xiao Nan eased his expression, and said with a slight smile: "I don't want you to die, I want you to be well... When we are all old, I will choose a few smart and well-behaved grandsons and granddaughters for you, and let them be filial to you. Woolen cloth!"

Yuhan also laughed, but tears welled up in her eyes, "Ma'am, do you still remember this jest from the maidservant?"

When Xiao Nan persuaded the four Yu to get married, he once asked Yuzan: Do you really not regret not marrying for life?If she is old, but has no children under her knees, wouldn't she be lonely?
Yuzan replied freely: "Isn't the maidservant still with you, madam? When the time comes, if the maidservant really feels lonely, you will be kind enough to choose a good child for the maidservant to adopt to the maidservant, and let the maidservant enjoy the blessing of children and grandchildren." !"

What she said was just a joke, she didn't even take it seriously, unexpectedly, Madam remembered it.

Xiao Nan was also a little sad, forced a smile and said: "Of course I remember. Don't worry, when the time comes, you can just enjoy your life."

Unable to hide the sourness and emotion in her heart, Yuhan's words turned into two lines of tears, "Okay, maidservant is waiting!"

……

Time passed quickly, and it was May 21st in a blink of an eye. The saint issued a decree half a day in advance, ordering the officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing and their families to go to Daci'en Temple at the beginning of the 21st (9:00) to serve as the Empress Dowager Wende. Hold prayers.

Early in the morning, Xiao Nan woke up and changed into the court dress of Mrs. Yipin Guo, with a pair of pendants hanging from her waist and nine tines on her head. Coupled with Xiao Nan's indifferent expression, she looked even more dignified and solemn.

After leaving the Weirui Courtyard and walking to the atrium, Steward Cui greeted him, "Ma'am, the lady next door has just sent a message that she and the third lady are helping the lady to wash and change clothes, and they will be able to go out in a quarter of an hour."

Xiao Nan nodded, got into the carriage she ordered, and then exited Rongshou Hall from the side door, turned a corner, and the carriage turned from the other side to the alley in front of the gate of Rongkang Hall, and then waited quietly.

Not long after, Zheng's, Wang's and Wei's carriages also left Rongkang Hall.

Xiao Nan raised the curtains of the car, and happened to meet Wang's eyes.

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, and turned his eyes towards the backyard of Rongkang Hall: Are all the arrangements at home?
Mrs. Wang nodded slightly: everything is ready.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law communicated silently for a while, and then several carriages started in unison, heading towards Jinchangfang.

Looking at the approaching Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Xiao Nan was in a trance. She finally came to this place again...
