Chapter 1071: 378 Win over (Four More)
Back at Yuebiju, where they had been away for more than half a year, both Taoyao and Baizhou were very excited, and Xiao Fei was no exception. It seemed that even the fatigue accumulated during the previous journey had dissipated in an instant.
Xiao Fei instructed Taoyao and Bai Zhou to go down to wash up first, and she was served by two second-class maids to the clean room.
After washing up and changing into a new dress, Xiao Fei went to the small study. Seeing that the small study was spotless in the days when she was away, she nodded with satisfaction.
She picked up a miscellaneous journal from the bookshelf, and leaned against the window to read the book...
Time flies, and before you know it, the sky becomes dark, and the maids have quietly lit candles in the small study. They were all familiar with Xiao Fei's temperament, they neither persuaded her to rest early, nor dared to disturb her reading at will.
The small study was silent, except for the occasional sound of pages turning...until a little maid in Tsing Yi came to Yuebiju.
"Girl," a second-class servant girl picked up the curtain and entered the room, saluting and reporting, "Madam has sent someone here."
Xiao Fei put down the book in his hand and looked at the sound.
The little maid in Tsing Yi also bowed her knees and said respectfully, "Miss, Madam, please come to the main courtyard for dinner, and I want to catch the wind for you."
Catch the wind? Xiao Fei frowned slightly, the eldest brother is the prince of the palace, and no one will hold a reception banquet for him when he returns to the palace today. How can he, the eldest daughter of the palace, not be more honorable than the eldest brother?
Xiao Fei pondered for a while, and said to the little maid in Tsing Yi: "You go back and report to mother, this reception banquet is a bit inappropriate. Big brother and I went back to the house, but skipped the big brother and gave me a reception banquet, which is not in line with the rules."
The little maid in Tsing Yi thought that this trip was a simple errand, but it was just to invite the eldest girl to the main courtyard for dinner, but she didn't want to get such a reply. The little maid knew Xiao Fang's temperament, and was a little nervous in her heart, but she was still able to retreat.
Now that he was interrupted, Xiao Fei did not continue reading. She looked at the sky and ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to pass the meal.
Xiao Fei's example is five dishes and one soup. When the hot food was served, Xiao Fei moved a few chopsticks a little, and a maid came to report that the madam was here.
Xiao Fei hurriedly put down his chopsticks and got up to greet him.
Mrs. Fang originally came with anger, but she didn't expect that she just wanted to hold a reception banquet for Xiao Fei, and Xiao Fei would lose her face like this.
But when she saw Xiao Fei's simple five dishes and one soup, her heart was extinguished again in the blink of an eye. The daughter suffered so much outside, so she wouldn't let her go back to the palace, and she couldn't even eat a good meal.
She sighed and said to Xiao Fei, "Sister Fei, don't be too polite, let's eat quickly."
Xiao Fei still saluted, and then said: "Mother can have dinner, why don't you use some at my daughter's place."
Of course, Mrs. Fang hadn't eaten yet. Although there were still many concubines and concubines in the main courtyard waiting to take care of Xiao Fei, how could these people be more important than her daughter? Mrs. Fang nodded without hesitation and sat down with her. After dinner, only one maid was sent back so that the concubines could retire.
Xiao Fei paid attention to the rules, did not say a word when eating or sleeping, this meal was eaten quietly.
After dinner was over, Mrs. Fang took Xiao Fei to the inner room to talk about herself, she looked at Xiao Fei's thin cheeks and said worriedly: "Sister Fei, this time you It really scared me to death. Fortunately, you are blessed with great luck. You must not be so self-willed in the future, and quietly run to the capital alone!"
Xiao Fang sighed in his heart. Recently, the three of them were really bad luck, and they were killed. Their son Xiao Luan made the Zhennan King annoyed because of the battle with Baiyue, and the daughter went to the capital alone, and let him go. King Zhennan lost his temper... and ran to the Mingqing Temple angrily to question her.
"Mother, I was wrong." Xiao Fei obediently admitted the mistake.
At that time, she didn't think that there was any problem in going to the king, but the hardships along the way, coupled with the teachings of Chun Chun, her sister-in-law when she was in the king's capital, made her understand that this world is not the peaceful and prosperous world written in the book.
Thinking back to the beginning, Xiao Fei's mood was still a little subtle, a little complicated, and a little emotional.
At that time, she had traveled thousands of miles to the capital for her mother, so how could she have expected the changes it is today. Fortunately, I am getting better! As the ancients said: worthy teachers and good friends are on his side, poetry, books, rituals and music are displayed in front, and it is rare to abandon them and become bad.
After all, it was her own daughter, so how could Mrs. Fang be willing to teach her daughter a lesson? She shook her head helplessly and said, "You kid..." Thinking of Xiao Luan, who was unsatisfactory, she knew what she was clinging to. Looking at Xiao Fei again, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but feel Sigh again: This child really came to collect debts in a previous life!
Seeing that her girl was reprimanded by Xiao Fang, Taoyao quickly served hot tea, trying to divert Xiao Fang's attention: "Madam, eldest girl, the servant ordered the kitchen to make some soothing tea." It's easy to do. Ordinary girls make mistakes and act coquettishly in front of their biological mothers, and they're gone. The eldest girl who gave birth to them has an upright temperament. A round scene.
Xiao Fang suddenly looked distressed, and said hurriedly: "Sister Fei, drink it quickly, you have worked hard all the way." She frowned and thought of another matter, "Sister Fei. , didn't mother ask Mammy Zhang to pick you up in the capital? Why didn't you come back with her?"
At first, when the King of Zhennan ordered the guards to take Lan Mammy all the way north to find someone, Xiao Fang hadn't come back from the Ming and Qing Temple, and when Lan Mammy was sent back by Xiao Fei, she said that Xiao Fei was coaxed by Nangong Yue. She was obedient and unwilling to follow her back to the southern border. Xiao Fang was in a hurry at the time, and hurriedly sent his confidant, Aunt Zhang.
Mammy Zhang has always acted prudently, and Mrs. Fang thought there would be no problem this time, but unexpectedly, she was easily dismissed.
Taoyao groaned in her heart, secretly thinking that it was not good.
Before Xiao Fei could answer, Xiao Fang continued dissatisfied: "Did your sister-in-law stop you from coming back?"
The more Xiao Fang thought about it, the more this happened, this Nangong Yue must have deliberately left Xiao Fei in the capital to restrain herself! She is indeed a slut! Xiao Yi was originally coaxed into obedience by himself, and always regarded himself as a mother. He must have stayed in the capital for so many years, and was blown away by Nangong Yue's pillow that he forgot the kindness that he had raised for many years.
The more Xiao Fang thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and she couldn't help but scolded: "Sister Fei, your elder sister-in-law has a good face and a bad heart. Looking at a kind-hearted face, her stomach is actually full of bad water. Sister Fei, you will But be careful with your sister-in-law, don't get too close to her..."
Xiao Fei frowned and interrupted Xiao Fang: "Mother, it's not right to talk about people's right and wrong behind their backs, let alone slander! Mother, how can you say that, sister-in-law?" Sister-in-law is so good!
Xiao Fei rationalized her thoughts and said patiently: "Mother, sister-in-law is virtuous, virtuous, intelligent and reasonable, you may have misunderstood before..." The word "misunderstanding" is a bit difficult for Xiao Fei to say, mother and elder brother, mother and elder sister-in-law More than a "misunderstanding"!
Xiao Fang couldn't believe her ears, her daughter was talking to herself like that for Nangong Yue! Xiao Fang only felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead, and without thinking, he said again: "Sister Fei, I'm all for your own good! Your elder brother and you are separated by a layer of belly, how can your elder sister be sincere to you? No matter what good things your sister-in-law has said to you in the king, it's all to deceive you... Think about how I was deprived of my official life? How could I suffer in the Mingqing Temple for a year..."
Xiao Fang's words became more and more angry, and he only cared about venting his emotions, but he didn't notice that Xiao Fei's eyes were even more disappointed.
It turned out that my mother went to the Ming and Qing Temple to suffer, not to pray for the people of southern Xinjiang!
Thinking back to the emperor's decree that ordered his mother to pray for blessings, Xiao Fei suddenly realized...he was really blind in the past. The emperor was obviously teaching his mother a lesson, but he was so foolish as to believe it.
There was a hint of bitterness in Xiao Fei's expression. Looking at her mother who was still blaming her sister-in-law, she felt that the other party was really strange, very strange...
"Mother, sister-in-law has never said a word of no to you in front of me!" Xiao Fei said slowly, almost word by word.
Xiao Fang's heart sank, and finally realized that something was wrong. The daughter is more than saying good things for Nangong Yue, she was obviously subjected to some kind of magic trick, and her whole heart went to Nangong Yue's side!
No reason! It really makes no sense!
Mrs. Fang couldn't bear this sigh, and instinctively wanted to train her again. Seeing this, Mrs. Qi, who was on the side, quickly pulled on Mrs. Fang's sleeve, and Mrs. Fang finally calmed down.
Thinking of Xiao Fei's temperament, Mrs. Fang pondered her words and said, "Sister Fei, you will see people's hearts over time. I won't say anything more. You are tired all the way today, so hurry up and rest!"
yes. Seeing people's hearts for a long time...but I'm afraid that some people will cover their eyes and don't want to see or think about it.
Xiao Fei looked at her mother deeply and nodded.
Mrs. Fang suppressed the anger in her heart and left. When she returned to her room, she finally burst out uncontrollably. There was a burst of banging and banging. People knew that Mrs. Fang was angry and could hide. Avoid quickly.
This Nangong Yue gave her a faceless face as soon as she got started, but Xiao Fei turned to Nangong Yue everywhere. How could she not be angry, how could she not be annoyed?
"Mother Qi," Xiao Fang complained angrily, "what kind of ecstasy soup did Nangong Yue pour into Sister Fei!? Sister Fei would rather trust her than me as a mother! She is me! If she was conceived in October, I can still harm her!"
"Madam said yes." Qi Ma said in a deep voice, "Concubine Shizi is really not simple. The first daughter of the second room of Nangong Mansion in the district stole the limelight of the first daughter of the long house, and she became the master of Yaoguang County all the way. She is also deeply favored by the empress and empress dowager. This method must be beyond the reach of others. This time, the prince and concubine also returned to the southern border. !
Even if Qi Momo didn't go on, Xiao Fang thought about it. With her daughter Xiao Fei's bad temper that doesn't know how to turn, it's not impossible! It was because he was too careless, he didn't expect Xiao Fei to go to the capital... This time, he simply lost his wife and lost his army!
Xiao Fang's fists clenched tightly. After calming down, her mind changed very quickly, and she said thoughtfully: "Sister Fei's temper is stubborn, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle..."
Madam Qi didn't dare to agree, thinking to herself: The eldest girl is not only stubborn, she is so stubborn that she can't even pull back a few old cows. It's just that little Fang can say something, but these slaves can't.
"You have to think of a way to..."
That night, Xiao Fang slept very restlessly.
His daughter, who was raised like a jewel, was easily coaxed, so how could Xiao Fang feel at ease.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Xiao Fang woke up early the next day. King Zhennan rested with a newly opened concubine yesterday, and came over to have breakfast with her in the morning.
After the meal, Mrs. Fang was serving the king of Zhennan with tea, and a maid came to tell him that Shizi and Shizi came in to greet him.
King Zhennan took a sip of tea and said with a little approval: "This Nangong clan knows the rules."
Xiao Fang's face froze, but he understood the meaning of King Zhennan's words. With his awkward status now, Nangong Yuetangtang is the honorable prince of Yipin, even if he can't come to the morning and evening to save his life, others can't make a mistake. Just like when the princess and the princess get married, they don't need to set rules for their mother-in-law.
Xiao Fang was secretly annoyed, if it wasn't for the fact that his princess' life was taken away, how could it have fallen to such a point.
However, it was not easy to coax King Zhennan to take her back to the mansion.
Not long after, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue were brought in.
Xiao Yi was not surprised that King Zhennan would be here. From the past, no matter where King Zhennan rested at night, he would always come to Xiao Fang's in the morning.
After greeting the two of them, Xiao Yi proposed to take Nangong Yue to Yunfu Mountain.
King Zhennan's face was a little complicated, and then he nodded and said, "Since you're back, it's time to tell your grandfather and grandmother."
While talking, Xiao Fei and several other prostitutes also arrived one after another. When they heard that they were going to Yunfu Hill, Xiao Fei hurriedly said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I'll go with you."
Nangong Yue glanced at Xiao Yi and said with a smile, "Okay."
Xiao Fang's face changed, Yunfu Hill was the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family, and not only the old town Nan Wang and Princess were buried, but also Xiao Yi's biological mother, Da Fang. It's okay for Xiao Fei to visit the graves of his grandfather and grandmother, but if he goes with Xiao Yi and the others, wouldn't he go to Dafang's tomb as a filial son and daughter? How does this work!
Just as Mrs. Fang was about to speak out against it, King Zhennan said first: "Sister Fei should go too."
Xiao Fei bowed his knees and replied, "Thank you, Father."
So the three of them retired together.
The carriage had been prepared long ago and was waiting at the second gate. Because Nangongyue first arrived, her Zhulun carriage was not ready, so she and Xiao Fei boarded a black-painted carriage with a flat roof. Ride with you.
The group walked lightly and walked out of the Zhennan Palace soon.
Fushangang is a small hill more than three miles away from Luoyue City. The ancestral tomb of the Xiao family is now voluntarily left here by some of the old men of the old town Nanwang as the tomb guardian.
People in the world pay attention to feng shui in funerals, and the Xiao family is no exception, not to mention that the Zhennan palace is the emperor of the southern border. The ancestral tombs of the Xiao family are naturally the best feng shui in this area. Tombstone, this neighborhood looks more like a village with a pleasant scenery.
When Nangong Yue and his party arrived, the veterans and their families were already waiting at Zhuangzikou.
After Nangong Yue, Xiao Yi, and Xiao Fei got off the carriage, they chatted with the veterans a few times, and then walked towards the hill with their company.
The ancestral tombs of the Xiao family are naturally different from the overgrown West Hills outside the capital. All the tombs on the Fushan Hills have been swept clean, and even the pine trees on those graves have been carefully trimmed.
Xiao Yi walked at the front, while walking, chatting with the old soldier about his grandfather about the past, while Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei walked side by side behind him. Under the guidance of the veterans, they first went to the graves of the old town Nanwang and the old princess.
Several people knelt down one by one and kowtowed to the old town Nan Wang and the old princess.
Xiao Yi muttered to the grave to introduce Nangong Yue, the granddaughter-in-law to the old town Nan Wang. The boasting tone made Nangong Yue laugh, but Xiao Fei naturally echoed by the side, letting Xiao Yi also It was rare to give Xiao Fei a good look, and she felt that this younger sister still had the vision to know someone.
After staying for a cup of tea, they left and went to Dafang's grave.
Xiao Fei knelt down with Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, and respectfully kowtowed three times, feeling ashamed for her mother.
After the incense, Xiao Yi once again helped Nangong Yue to brag about it in front of Dafang's grave, and only praised her as the best daughter-in-law in the world.
Nangong Yue stood by the side, and said secretly in her heart: Please rest assured, concubine, I will definitely accompany Ayi and take good care of him...
