The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 85 I Buy
People are like this, when no one cares about it, they look at it as a waste; but once someone shows that they want it, they will feel whether it is a treasure, and they have to sell it for a good price no matter what.

Even in private, I would secretly think, is there a greater use for this thing, what if it is sold cheaply and suffers a loss?

But don't sell it, and worry that there will be no such shop after passing this village, what if things fall into your hands?
It's not for selling, it's not for not selling, it's really embarrassing.

Right now, the Xiaoliu family is caught in such a conflict, thinking about it and not knowing how to make a decision.

After hearing this, Cui Wei immediately helped her make a choice: "Change."

God, where is Chongrenfang?
To the east is Nanya and other imperial yamen, to the south is Guozijian, and there are Pingkangfang and Dongshi around.

Cui Wei vaguely remembered that the residence of the eldest grandson Wuji, the uncle of the dynasty, was in Chongrenfang.

Tsk tsk, being a neighbor with the most favored relative in the dynasty, the chance of meeting by chance is several times higher than that of people in other workshops.

Cui Wei endured the excitement in her heart, fingered the benefits she thought of, and told Mrs. Xiaoliu one by one: "...all around are officials and scholars who are waiting for election in Beijing, as well as relatives of high-ranking officials and nobles. As long as we put the store If it is done well, it will be good for Sixth Brother."

As soon as she heard that the matter was related to her husband, Xiao Liu could not help but sit up straight, tilted her head and asked: "What's the benefit? Trading is a humble thing, even if it is a shop we run, we can't tell the outside world."

Seeing that Mrs. Xiaoliu misunderstood her meaning, Cui Wei hurriedly explained: "No, Sister-in-law Six, I don't mean to let people know that this shop belongs to Brother Six. It's just...how should I put it."

Cui Wei bit her lower lip lightly, organized her words, and said, "We can use this shop to open a tea house, specially entertaining scholars and officials who come and go, and invite every visiting celebrity and elegant scholar to write on the wall Poetry. In addition, how can we hold regular poetry meetings and invite scholars in Beijing to come to compete in poetry—”

Xiaoliu understood a little bit, her eyes lit up, and she continued: "Enen, Mr. Lang is the best at poetry, if a poetry meeting is held, he will definitely win the first place, and then his reputation will be passed by these scholars or officials. Spread the word."

Cui Wei saw that Mrs. Xiaoliu finally understood, and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, I remember a poet named Chen Zi'ang, in order to let the world know his talent, he went to Dongshi to buy a pipa at an exorbitant price, and then gave it to the public. It was broken and attracted many people to watch, Chen Ziang took the opportunity to distribute his poems to those present, and his reputation spread in the capital in a short time."

She should remember correctly, Chen Ziang seems to be a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, earlier than Li Dada and Du Dada.Maybe by now, he has already arrived in Beijing, hehe, but I'm afraid his method can't be used, because this girl is going to be used by Sixth Brother. (Sui and Tang history Xiaobai's children's papers can't be hurt, she must not know that Chen Ziang has not been born yet.)
Cui Wei thought very freely, and when she thought that her own elder brother was famous all over the capital, and even with her the reputation of being a talented woman, she persuaded Xiaoliu's mind to be more victorious, and continued: "Sister-in-law Six, Brother Six is ​​better than a few brothers." They are all excellent, but why not as famous as the eight? Is it because he is a bastard, and the family does not give him the opportunity to show his face? Now we have a plan to help the sixth brother build momentum, why not do it? Six sisters-in-law, we were in the Chongrenfang opened a small book shop, the location of the book shop is very remote, but it also attracted many scholars who came to Beijing, and the sixth brother also made many like-minded friends." It's a pity that the shop of the book shop is It is rented and cannot be used for a long time.

Xiao Liu's heart was a little moved, but she was still entangled in the matter of An Shan Fang, and always felt that it was too unwilling to agree to the other party so easily.

Cui Wei saw that Xiaoliu's family was a little moved, and continued to insist: "Sister-in-law Liu, I heard that the eldest grandson Situ also lives in Chongrenfang. Our tea house has opened, and the sixth brother often walks over there. It is very likely that we will meet the eldest grandson Situ on the road Oh~~”

Cui Wei deliberately prolongs the ending of the word "oh", which is full of temptation.

Xiaoliu was finally moved, but still worried: "Sanniang, it's not impossible to open a tea house. But with so many shops in Chongrenfang, how can our tea house—"

All the assumptions just now have a common premise, that is, their tea house must be done very well and be able to attract celebrities and refined scholars.

When Cui Wei heard this, she became even more proud, and promised with a smile: "Sister-in-law Liu, you just need to rest assured about business matters. With me, even if the location of the store is not good, I can still attract distinguished customers."

Speaking of this, Cui Wei blinked deliberately, and reminded: "Have you forgotten how the Baicao Hall prospered?"

Xiao Liu's eyelids twitched, as if thinking of something, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said: "Yes, there is Sanniang here, so why should I worry about it. Well, I will call brother in the afternoon and get the shop out of the shop as soon as possible. Cash it out."

As for the mountains and forests, they should be added to the shopping list.

At this time, Xiao Liu and Cui Wei didn't know with whom the shop was exchanged. Wang You'an was very capable in handling affairs. Liu only knew that the buyer was him, but didn't know that there was another master behind him.

Wang Youan is not only capable, but also quick-witted.

From the very beginning when Xiao Nan proposed to buy a few more streets, and asked him to help him pay attention to whether there are any mountains for sale in Anshanfang, and then to the additional conditions mentioned in the transaction with the Liu family, Wang Youan guessed that Xiao Nan wanted to buy more in Anshanfang. Add some forests and farms.

So, after he signed the exchange contract with the Xiaoliu family, he made a special trip to Anshanfang, carefully inspected the area around the [-]-acre mountain forest of the Xiaoliu family, and found the head of the village to ask about the surrounding woodlands. Landlord information, send people to discuss separately.

After a lot of hard work, Wang You'an bought all the large forest land around the [-]-acre mountain forest with the body that his aunt gave him.

What was sent to Xiao Nan was not only the house deed of Baicao Hall and the title deed of the 460-acre mountain forest, but also the deed of [-] mu of hillside land and sandy land.

"This, this is—" Yuzhu looked at the title deed, feeling a little puzzled, and looked at Wang Youan outside the screen in confusion.

Hearing this, Wang You'an couldn't help straightening his back, and said with a smile: "These lands are all wastelands and wastelands that don't grow crops. Because they are connected to the [-]-acre mountain forest, someone bought all these lands on his own initiative. Please don't blame the county master."

Yuzhu felt that these land deeds were hot, she pondered for a moment, and asked: "Mr. Wang Dalang, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other, please tell me the truth, how much did you spend on these lands?"

Wang Youan still had that gentle smile, and said: "I dare not lie to my lady, these wastelands really didn't cost much, the county lord trusts me, and entrusts all my wealth to someone to take care of, I also want to express my heart, please invite my lady Truthfully convey the words of a certain person to the county master. Please don't refuse the county master."

Yuzhu didn't dare to make decisions easily, so she didn't say anything to death, and took the land deed and came back to see Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan took the land deeds, thought for a while, and said, "Well, since it's his wish, I won't refuse."

Anyway, she had already made an agreement with her sister-in-law, and after her clan sister went to Beijing, she would introduce Wang Youan to the Yuan family's wife.

According to what my sister-in-law said, her aunt is still more interested in Wang You'an, and if there is no accident, this marriage will come true.

At that time, when Wang Youan gets married, she will send a big congratulatory gift, which is worth the value of these fields.

Yu Zhu nodded, "Yes, the servant girl will go back to him now."

Xiao Nan called Yuzhu to a halt, and asked Yuzan to take twenty pennies, "Give these to Mr. Wang Dalang, please ask him to help you buy two cattle and two sets of farm tools. If there is any leftover, just buy it for someone who runs errands." I've drunk the wine. If it's not enough, come ask me again."

Nowadays, a strong ox costs two to three pennies, and plows are worthless. With cattle and plows, five pennies are enough.

The rest is to reward Wang Youan's errand runners.

It's sad to say that, when Xiao Nan was employing people, he found out that when she got married, some of the capable servants and stewards that A Niang married to her were actually driven away by the bad temper of her predecessor.

Looking back now, there is no one who needs it.

Alas, sad and deplorable.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan sighed silently, then waved Yu Zhu away.

Seeing this, Yuzhu hurriedly ordered the two little maids to pick up the bag of copper coins and quietly retreated out.

Seeing that Xiao Nan was in a low mood, Yuzan thought she was upset about being prepared for Qilang Jun's election as a thousand bulls, so she hurried over to comfort her and said, "Master, there are so many fields, should we go there?" Have a look? These days, you have been staying in the mansion and have not gone out, why don't you find a sunny day and let's go to Anshanfang to have a look?"

Alas, speaking of it, this little Lu family is too arrogant.

Two days ago, Cui Qi and Cui Yabo finally passed the "five selections" and entered Qianniu Beishen as he wished.

When the good news came, Mrs. Lu sent people around to deliver the good news, and even ran to the old lady and the eldest lady, first praised her son, and then asked the family to have such a happy event, which should be celebrated .

The old lady and the eldest lady just don't like little Lu, but they don't dislike Cui Yabo either.

In the final analysis, Cui Qi is a member of the Cui family, and if he is successful, the Cui family will benefit in the end.

Especially the old lady, she has been striving for the prosperity of the Cui family all her life, not to mention the well-behaved Cui Yabo, even the restless Liulang Cui Huibo, the old lady can only be happy.

I heard that Mrs. Lu proudly asked for a large banquet, the old lady did not refuse for the first time, but took out ten pennies from her own money and gave it to the young lady, so that she could take care of it and let the family members take advantage of the opportunity to have fun Ah.

The Cui family did not have a separate family, and Cui Yabo joined Qianniuwei and became the emperor's personal soldier, showing the face of the Cui family. This is also a great benefit to other Cui family lords in the officialdom.

As the future wife of the clan, the eldest young lady still has some knowledge.

Although she was somewhat worried about her youngest son's future, Wang still did a good job in matters of face.

So, just yesterday, Cui Jiaguang invited his friends to hold a big banquet, he also invited the orchids from the West Market to sing and dance, and also invited the hundred operas from the East Market to juggle, it was a whole day of excitement.

Xiao Nan has been closing the door to thank guests in the name of pregnancy, but there is a happy event at home, out of etiquette, she has no reason not to attend.

Another reason is that there is not much age difference between Cui Yabo and Cui Youbo, so they are often compared.

In the past, Cui Youbo was hailed as "Cui Jia Yulang" by those who were good at flattering him because he recited several good poems, which really stole Qilang's limelight.Let little Lu slander endlessly behind his back.

Now, Cui Qi is promising and has become a bodyguard to accompany the emperor, officially entering the official career. If he manages well, he might be able to become a prime minister just like his grandfather and uncle.

In this comparison, Cui Youbo, who has no official position and no position, is defeated, and has become a negative teaching material to set off Seventh Brother's hard work.

If Xiao Nan made an excuse not to attend, maybe some caring people would say that she can't see that Uncle Qi is more successful than her husband.

It's fine for others, and the invited guests are all people from the city, even if they think so in their hearts, they will definitely not say it in front of the host.

On the contrary, as one of the hosts, Mrs. Lu, who sat at the banquet and chatted unreservedly, almost pointed at the eldest lady's nose and said, "All the sons I adopted have become officials, and your son is still at home." What about eating at home' and the like, the eldest lady was so angry that she almost ran away on the spot despite how good her self-cultivation was.

And Xiao Nan, Cui Youbo's wife, was even squeezed out by Xiao Lu, and the meaning behind the words was very clear, saying that Cui Youbo is a useless little boy who eats his wife's soft food.

Just before Xiao Nan wanted to get angry, seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Wu repeated the old trick, hugged her stomach and complained that her stomach hurts, and then called Mrs. Lu away in a panic.

It was a good banquet, just being disturbed by Cui Yabo's mother-in-law, not to mention the old lady and the eldest lady were angry, even Mrs. Wu was very angry.

Afterwards, the old lady ordered someone to call Xiao Lu, handed her a volume of Buddhist scriptures, and ordered her to copy it a hundred times in the small Buddhist hall of Rongshou Hall, and when the old lady was satisfied with the copy, she could come out.

According to the visual observation of Mother Qiu, an insider at the scene, based on the thickness of the volume of Buddhist scriptures and the anger of the old lady, it is estimated that Xiao Lu will not be able to come out until the Double Ninth Festival.

At that time, Xiao Nan asked crookedly, "The third aunt has no objection?" Didn't she not buy the old lady's account?

Mother Qiu curled her lips contemptuously, and said: "She dares! Hmph, the old lady hasn't settled for her last time she was rude in Rongshou Hall. Although Sanlang (that is, Cui Hong) is gentle and talkative (a Nan Tucao: I have soft ears), but in the face of rules and filial piety, I am still very persistent."

Cui Hong is also a court official, so his reputation is very important.

Although he no longer has his mother, everyone in the capital knows that the old man of the Cui family respects his elder sister as his mother, and everyone in the Cui family treats the old lady like a real elder. So don't be fooled.

In addition to the restrictions of the official voice, Cui Shouren and Cui Shouyi were not easy to pass.

If these two old people knew that their sister was underestimated, and that this person was their unworthy descendant, wouldn't they be so angry that they would drag Cui Hong to scold him on the spot.

Therefore, Cui Hong did not dare to be disrespectful to the old lady for public or personal reasons, nor did he dare to have any objections to the old lady's instructions and orders.

Do you feel sorry for your wife and worry about her suffering in the Buddhist hall?
No problem, Uncle Cui just came out of the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall is empty right now, why don't you come and chat with the ancestors of the Cui family? !

See if the ancestors will bypass you, a little bastard who has no human relations in his eyes? !

As soon as Cui Hong heard that his wife was detained by the old lady in the Rongshou Hall to copy Buddhist scriptures, he didn't say anything, but told his eldest daughter-in-law to take care of the affairs in the yard. He was too busy to attend to the rest.

After Xiao Nan heard about it, he laughed so hard that he couldn't help but think to himself, tsk tsk, dear Third Aunt, by now you should know how stupid your past behavior was, right? !

Offending the old lady with the highest seniority in the Cui family, can you still have good fruit to eat?

Moreover, thanks to your usual behavior, even if outsiders know that you were punished by your aunt, they will not sympathize with you.

This is also a point that Xiao Nan feels a lot about, alas, she also made such a mistake in her previous life.

Thinking of her last life, in order to reconcile with Cui Youbo as soon as possible, she didn't have much respect for the old lady and the eldest lady.In addition, she was a little girl who was loved by her family in her first life, and she didn't have the ancient thinking of respect and inferiority in her mind. Naturally, she would not see her titular aunt and mother-in-law in her eyes, which directly led to, She got a bad reputation for being disrespectful to her elders.

In fact, after being reborn, Xiao Nan reflected many times. In her previous life, she really did not do anything disrespectful or filial to her elders, but she gained a reputation for being unfilial for nothing.

So much so that when reconciling, it was Cui Youbo who doted on his concubine and killed his wife. She couldn't stand her husband's contempt and wrong treatment, so she reluctantly reconciled.

The result fell into the mouths of the world, but it turned out that she disrespected Weng Po. It was the benevolence of the Cui family who should have been divorced, and because of the face of her in-laws Xiao's family, she took a step back and allowed them to reconcile.

Ruan Lingyu once used the fact of blood to explain what it means to be fearful.

As for Xiao Nan in his previous life, it took more than ten years to realize how lethal public opinion can be to a person.

Thinking back to the previous life, many years after Xiao Nan married Li Jing, there were still people who made fun of her for what happened back then, and that concubine also used this as an excuse from time to time to ridicule her.

Being unfilial, like a curse, accompanied Xiao Nan for more than ten years, until she finally died in a Buddhist temple.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan's face became more gloomy, and the hand holding the hidden bag was tightly clenched, and veins flashed again on the fat little hand.

Seeing Yuhan, she was even more worried, and persuaded softly again: "Master, the third lady is a person who speaks out loud, so you don't have to be sad because of her words."

Xiao Nan was still immersed in his memories, and he didn't hear Yuhan's words at all.

But Yuzan felt that Xiao Nan was still worried about Xiao Lu's run-off, and continued to persuade: "Mr. Qilang has entered a thousand bulls to prepare himself. It is indeed a great joy. But our Mr. Balang is not a mediocre person. The maid heard that , The Prince's Mansion is also selecting guards, and with our Balang-jun's talents and abilities, we will definitely pass the selection of the Prince's Mansion. So, don't worry about it!"

Outside the door, Uncle Cui was about to raise his foot to walk in, when he heard Yuhan's words, he slowly lowered his raised foot.

Ever since Cui Yabo passed the five exams, there was a saying in the family and even in the public that 'Balang is not as good as Qilang'. Cui Youbo was very annoyed when he heard about it.

Today, he originally made an appointment with Li Han to go boating on the Qujiang River, but when he didn't want to, he heard gossip from some idlers, and left in a rage on the spot.

After returning, Uncle Cui desperately wanted to find someone to vent his depressed mood, so out of habit, he came to Ajin's wing.

Before he could tell what happened to him and the entanglements in his heart, Ajin, who was seriously fattened, had a face as big as a sesame seed pancake (pregnancy spots, pregnant people can't afford to hurt it!), shy and shy. She leaned in front of Cui Youbo and pretended to be delicate.

As a result, Uncle Cui, who could not bear to look at A Jin's deformed appearance and tried hard to comprehend A Jin's pretty face, finally couldn't help it, and left the sentence "take good care of the child" and escaped from the Xikua courtyard.

Strolling around in the yard, Cui Youbo suddenly remembered that he hadn't read to his son today, Xiao Nan's gentle smile appeared in his mind unexpectedly, and he unconsciously walked towards the main courtyard with both feet.

Walking to the door, he happened to hear the conversation between Yuzan and Xiao Nan, he couldn't help but stop, wanting to hear what Xiao Nan thought of him, did he also think that he was a useless person like outsiders thought .

Xiao Nan finally came back to his senses, just happened to hear the second half of the sentence, he smiled and said: "Do you care? What should I care about?"

Yuzan choked for a moment, then pulled the corners of her mouth lightly, and said, "Ah, what the servant girl means is that Mr. Qilang entered Qianniu to prepare himself—"

Xiao Nan interrupted her, waved his hand and said: "I know what you mean, hehe, doesn't it mean that Uncle Qi has entered the official career and has a bright future, but my Balang is still white, and I was run out by the third aunt yesterday. , Worried about me being angry?"

Seeing Xiao Nan repeating her words so bluntly, Yuzan nodded embarrassingly, shook her head, nodded again, and argued: "My servant, my servant is just worried, you are still pregnant with a child."

Xiao Nan giggled until his flowers trembled, and said, "Being in Qianniu Beishen means you have ability? Huh, there is another prerequisite for this selection, Menyin!"

Both Yuhan and Cui Youbo outside the door were stunned.

Xiao Nan continued: "Hmph, if someone is really capable, he should take the imperial examination and become an official like Uncle and Third Uncle. That is the real ability. Even our family, Balang, has already studied his homework with the old man. Liu Langjun even praised our Balang for his agility and insight, if he joins the next spring, he will be able to go to high school with his talents..."

Cui Youbo was so excited that tears filled his eyes, his confidant, or his wife understands him.

Yuzan opened her mouth and said, "My lady, my lady is right, the imperial examination is indeed much more difficult."

Xiao Nan was proud, "That's natural. If it was the door shade, my Balang would have participated in the selection of Qianniu Beishen. After all, Aweng and Aye are both second-rank officials, and the uncle and the third uncle both entered the imperial examination. , Aye's family shade can be inherited by Hachiro, and Pian Hachiro didn't want to rest on the merits of his ancestors, and decided to rely on his own efforts to become an official, so he gave up the interpretation five years ago."

In fact, it was the eldest lady who took pity on the young son and didn't want him to suffer.

After all, Qianniu's body preparation is a military duty, and candidates are required to be both civil and military.

As for Cui Youbo, it's okay to write two lines of poems, but if you let him wield swords and guns, he is indeed not as good as Cui Yabo.

But who doesn't like to hear good words?
Especially Cui Youbo, who grew up smoothly, after hearing Xiao Nan's words, felt that what the lady said really touched his heart.

That's right, it's not that he can't, but that he disdains.

Hmph, what did Qianniu prepare his body for? In the final analysis, he was still under the shadow of his ancestors.

He, Uncle Cui, will not rest on the merits of his ancestors, he will work hard to become an official like the two elder brothers.

Thinking of this, Uncle Cui withdrew his steps, turned around and walked towards the outer study room - from now on, he will study hard and participate in next year's Spring Festival with Brother Liu.

As the footsteps gradually went away, the jade hairpin in the room stretched its neck to look, and after seeing that Uncle Cui had indeed left, he exchanged a glance with Xiao Nan, and the two master and servant laughed silently...

PS: Hey, catching bugs...
