Chapter 1332 638 Festive
Xiao Yi turned around without hesitation, then saw Lin Jingchen at a glance, and said with a look, "Grandfather."
He stepped forward to greet Lin Jingchen.
Lin Jingchen said with a smile: "Yue'er just rested."
"Thank you grandfather." Xiao Yi said sincerely.
Lin Jingchen smiled and stroked his beard: "Come in."
Xiao Yi never knew what a courtesy was. Hearing what Lin Jingchen said, he couldn't wait to enter the main house.
In the past few days, he was busy cleaning up the spies in Luoyue City, and the time he spent with the stinky girl was obviously less than a few hours, which was inappropriate!
As soon as she heard the sound of picking the curtain, Nangong Yue, who was half awake and half asleep, opened her eyes. The maids would not be so rude in picking the curtain, she knew it must be Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi strode up to her side, sat down on the edge of the bed, held her hand, and said softly, "Stinky girl, sleep a little longer. I'm here with you."
Nangong Yue meekly closed her eyes and said coquettishly, "Ayi, talk to me..."
Xiao Yi responded and looked at her closed eyes again, thinking that the days he spent with her after the wedding were few and far between, he couldn't help but say warmly: "...in a few days, when you're healthy, I'll take you out to play. How are you?" Although Nangong Yue still slept more than awake these few days, Xiao Yi had been paying attention secretly, and it was obvious that her spirit had gradually improved, and she had been awake for longer and longer... This time , really thanks to my grandfather in Luoyue City...
Xiao Yi suppressed his inner excitement and continued calmly, "Stinky girl, where do you want to go?"
Nangong Yue's eyelids moved slightly, and she didn't speak for a while. When Xiao Yi almost thought she was asleep, she slowly said, "I want to go to He Yucheng..."
Xiao Yi was slightly surprised, "He Yucheng?"
Heyu City is the ancestral home of the Fang family.
Nangong Yue responded softly and said, "The last time we went to Heyucheng, we didn't take a good walk around..."
Xiao Yi was naturally obedient to her, he agreed without hesitation, and said: "I remember that there is a Qingai Lake more than ten miles away from Heyu City. Thousands of migratory birds from the north spend the winter there... let's go and see."
Nangong Yue answered vaguely in a half-dream and half-awake, wanting to say that Xiao Hui could not be brought along, otherwise the birds over there would suffer.
But before she could say anything, she was defeated by the Sandman and fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yi was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her peaceful sleeping face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
As Nangong Yue's body improved, the turmoil in Luo Yue City finally calmed down.
The Xuanjia Army was ferocious, coming and going like the wind. After several days of sweeping operations, a faint smell of blood floated over Luoyue City. The city and the arrest affected his daily life, but instead actively cooperated.
Until everything was calm and the city gates opened wide, Luoyue City finally returned to its former liveliness.
The Gaomen Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
They were actually a little skeptical about the previous turmoil. Although there was a lot of rumors about the concubine being poisoned and bedridden, is this true or false? There are also people who speculate secretly that maybe the prince wants to use this as an excuse to take the opportunity to gather military power and control the real power in the southern border. Many ladies also secretly communicated with each other, but no one could say why they came.
After finally waiting for the limelight to subside, the mansion immediately sent a message to Bixiao Hall to greet the princess, but all the messages were rejected.
Is it true that the concubine was poisoned?
Lord Shizi and Concubine Shizi are deeply in love, so there is such a thunderous anger?
After I figured this out, there were obviously fewer pilgrimages to Bixiaotang, replaced by various precious medicinal materials.
At the same time, there are people who are secretly asking when the palace will hold a celebration banquet... Of course, it is not for this so-called banquet, but to test how to reward the meritorious soldiers.
Of course, this is just the opinion of most people. For the Qiao family, Mr. Qiao did not go out with the army, and Mr. Qiao was sent back halfway, so the reward naturally has nothing to do with the Qiao family. But both Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Ruolan have been looking forward to the celebration banquet for a long time. After all, this is the opportunity they have been waiting for for a long time.
Under the noise of Qiao Ruolan, Mrs. Qiao personally came to Zhennan Palace.
Soon, Xiao Yi was called into the study by King Zhennan.
Xiao Yi had no objection to the celebration banquet, agreed readily, and then changed the topic: "Father, the celebration banquet is going to be held, but the concubine is ill, and it is inconvenient to entertain the female relatives. Soldiers, what do you think about the father and the king if you don’t invite female relatives?”
The specific matters of the celebration banquet were arranged by the concubine Shizi long before she fell ill, and she also came to ask her for instructions. Therefore, as long as you follow the steps, you can proceed smoothly and smoothly. So, King Zhennan responded without hesitation.
Madam Qiao on the side was dumbfounded. This was not the result she hoped to see on this trip, so she quickly said: "Brother, isn't it too deserted to invite female relatives for this celebration banquet? Actually..."
She wanted to recommend herself, but Xiao Yi didn't bother to pay attention to her at all, and hugged his fist casually and said, "If the father has nothing else, the son will retire first."
King Zhennan waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Yi to go down.
Xiao Yi turned and left, and there was a faint sound of Mrs. Qiao's unwilling shouting behind him, chattering endlessly like a sparrow.
It was not until he left the study that the closed door finally blocked out all the noise.
The king of Zhennan in the study was not so lucky. He listened to Mrs. Qiao's muttering for half an hour, and then he sent this big Buddha away...
It's not over yet, something happened that day...
The excitement followed one wave after another. When the sun went down, Queer came to present the treasure in front of Nangong Yue with great enthusiasm, and the words were flying:
"...Concubine Shizi, Aunt Qiao was crying, making trouble, and hanging herself in the prince's place. She even told the story of Aunt Qiao's hard work and taking the prince when they were in their hometown..." If the king of Zhennan was Mrs. Qiao was brought up, and she doesn't know where she placed the old princess?
"But the lord insisted that he didn't agree. Aunt Qiao went back after making trouble for a long time..."
"After Aunt Qiao returned to the mansion, she didn't know how she told Biao girl Qiao that she wanted to come to the palace, but the servants of Qiao's mansion did not stop her, and she ran out of the door, shouting that Aunt Qiao wanted to come to the palace. Beating the mandarin ducks with a stick, there was a lot of uproar..."
Nangong Yue laughed and shook her head. Qiao Ruolan's actions have long since ruined her reputation. Even if she has the status of a princess in the palace, there is probably no mansion in the entire southern border willing to ask for such a child. daughter in law.
Mrs. Qiao is not good at keeping things under control and treats her illness, but let her make troubles, which will only be irreversible in the end.
Nangong Yue was too lazy to pay attention to this, and just asked, "When does the lord plan to hold a celebration banquet?"
Queer hurriedly said: "The slave and maid have heard that the office has sent the message to the various houses, and the celebration banquet is scheduled for three days later."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, feeling a little regretful in her heart. Xiao Yi's triumphant return is a great event, but he did not have a good life because of this illness to celebrate for him...
Regret is regret, Nangong Yue also knows that she is now more important to recover, otherwise it will only make those who care about her worry.
Nangong Yue's body was getting better day by day. On the day of the celebration banquet, she asked Que'er and the others to make several more trips to the front yard to make sure everything was correct.
On this day, the Zhennan Palace was extraordinarily lively, and all the officers and men did not go home without getting drunk, and it was not until Liu Shaotou on the moon that the seats were scattered...
As the protagonist of the celebration banquet, Xiao Yi kept going after the banquet before returning to Bixiao Hall.
After striding into the hall, he subconsciously accelerated his steps, thinking of seeing Nangong Yue soon, but before he could pick up the curtain, he heard a familiar female voice in the middle of Dongci:
"Sister-in-law, do you see how well my seal is carved?"
As soon as he heard this voice, he knew it was Xiao Fei.
The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, and he thought: It's so late, why hasn't this guy Xiao Fei returned to his Yuebi Residence!
"Sister Fei, your swordsmanship is very beneficial!" Nangongyue said with a smile, "Although the swordsmanship is still a little immature, but you have already grasped the cat's posture..."
In the middle of the conversation, there was a sound of picking the curtain, and Xiao Yi strode into the room. The two people who were sitting on the Luohan bed and talking looked at him in unison, one showing joy, the other showing disgust.
"Ayue, how do you feel today?" Xiao Yi walked to Nangongyue's side and touched the top of her hair without hesitation.
He naturally drank some wine at the banquet today, and as he approached, he could smell a strong smell of wine coming to his face, Xiao Fei's brows furrowed even more, and he added another guilt to Xiao Yi in his heart. : Sister-in-law is sick, and he still drinks so much alcohol!
"I'm almost better." Nangong Yue said in a coquettish tone, but what she got was the same frowning expressions of the two brothers and sisters, obviously disapproving of her words.
Thrush watched from the side, and secretly laughed in his heart: At this time, the prince and the eldest girl are quite like brothers and sisters.
Unable to withstand the pressure, Nangong Yue hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Ayi, you see this is a seal carved by Sister Fei. The hibiscus stone used was given by my grandfather. My grandfather picked a piece of Tian Huangshi for me, and I still keep it. Wait, will you wait for me to engrave it?"
Xiao Yi naturally agreed, and then took the seal button of the hibiscus stone in Nangong Yue's hand and looked at it. Xiao Fei carved a white cat on it with its front paws lying on the ground and stretching, and its tail was rolled into a circle, which was just right for tying a red rope. Just like what Nangong Yue said, Xiao Fei caught the cat's most agile moment, but her swordsmanship is really...
"I have more than my heart but not enough strength." Xiao Yi rudely gave six words.
These six words sound mean at first glance, but if you taste it carefully, it seems that half of the exaggeration is half of the loss.
This Ai! Nangong Yue sighed in her heart, and hurriedly looked at Xiao Fei, for fear that the little girl would be hit, but she saw Xiao Fei nodded solemnly: "Brother said, I'm still too young, and the carving knife always doesn't follow orders." She Still need to exercise more wrist strength.
Nangong Yue laughed, looking at Xiao Fei with extremely soft eyes, and said, "Sister Fei, your eldest brother and I are going to Heyu City in a few days. If we see good stones, I'll choose a few recipes for you."
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Seeing how happy the two of them were, Xiao Yi's whole face turned black, and he said directly, "Xiao Fei, should you go back?"
There was silence in the room, not only Nangong Yue was speechless, but even the maids were dumbfounded by Shi Ziye's impoliteness.
Who knew that Xiao Fei actually got up with a look of approval and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not early, you are recovering from a serious illness, you should rest early." Then he told Xiao Yi seriously, "Brother, you have been drinking, so don't make any noise at night. Sister-in-law rest..."
After she finished speaking, she walked slowly, Xiao Yi's face darkened even more, Nangong Yue couldn't help but took his hand and shook it gently, and the maids also retreated wisely.
After the celebration feast, it is the reward to the meritorious soldiers.
Except for the bloody sweep in the middle of the whole February that made people a little uneasy, Luo Yue City was immersed in joy.
With the gradual recovery of Nangong Yue, Bi Xiaotang also regained its former vitality, and the maids and ladies are preparing for the trip to Heyu City in a few days.
The Shizi, the Shizi, and the old lady Fang, who have bad legs, have a lot of things to prepare, and they have packed a three-horse carriage...
The poison this time did a lot of damage to Nangong Yue. According to Lin Jingchen, it would take at least half a year to recover before she could recover. However, even if the body is still a little weak, it is no problem to go out for a walk.
Starting from Luoyue City, walking slowly all the way, it took a full three days to arrive at Heyu City, and the surroundings became lively and noisy. Even if you were in a carriage, you could feel the prosperous atmosphere.
"Grandfather, Ayue, and Yucheng are here!" Xiao Yi's clear voice came from outside the carriage with a smile.
In the spacious and comfortable black-lacquered flat-top carriage, aside from the two maids Baihui and Thrushi, they were Mrs. Fang and Nangongyue.
"Ayue," Mrs. Fang said distressedly, looking at Nangong Yue who was obviously thinner than sitting opposite him, "Fang's house is only three miles away from the city gate, and it will be here soon. You are recovering from a serious illness, and we will hurry when we arrive. to rest..."
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said coquettishly, "Grandfather, grandson-in-law, this time, will be the boss." This serious illness made her look thinner, and her chin was pitifully pointed.
Grandpa Fang laughed and said hello: "Ayue, don't worry, the trivial matters at home are managed by those stewards, you just need to take a good rest." As Grandpa Fang said, he pondered in his heart, he remembered that There should be some hundred-year-old ginseng, He Shouwu, etc. in the warehouse... I don't know if they are still there. When he goes back this time, he has to rummage carefully. It would be best if he can make up for his grandson-in-law.
Nangong Yue smiled with her brows and eyes curved like two crescent moons.
Thinking of the hardships she has suffered in the past few days, Mrs. Fang's heart softened, and he said warmly, "In a while, you and Yi will live in your mother-in-law's former yard."
Of course Nangong Yue agreed and said, "I heard A Yi said that the concubine's yard is called Qiwu Garden."
Fengqi Wutong, just by hearing the name of the yard, you can know what kind of beautiful expectations Mr. Fang had for this only daughter, but unfortunately... Nangong Yue's eyes darkened, this time to meet Yucheng, except to want to be with Xiao Yi Besides walking around together, she also wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could find some clues of the past.
Hearing the three words "Qiwuyuan", Mrs. Fang showed a hint of nostalgia and said, "Qiwuyuan is at the northeast corner of the house. The location is a bit out of the way, but your mother and concubine like it the most because it's clean, and the habitat is beautiful. There is a small garden next to Wuyuan, and your mother-in-law likes to play with flowers and plants, and one of the flower fields in the garden is kept by your mother-in-law herself.
Recalling the past, Mrs. Fang showed some emotion on his face.
He has been "sick" for more than ten years, and he thinks that those savage things will not take good care of his daughter's yard.
While speaking, the speed of the carriage slowed down, turned to the right, and the speed of the carriage became slower and slower...
Soon, there was a sound of someone knocking on the door knocker:
"Open the door, the old man is back! Open the door..."
Rough door opening, messy footsteps, and loud greetings mixed together, and the surroundings became lively. The carriage was introduced into Fangfu through the gate, and then stopped in the courtyard.
Baihui and Thrushi got off the carriage first, and were about to instruct the accompanying woman to move the wheelchair, when they saw that Chu Chu had already instructed the two rough women to remove a wheelchair from another accompanying blue-covered carriage. , and then pushed over.
At the same time, Xiao Yi, who dismounted from the horse, got into the carriage, took off Mr. Fang on his back, and placed him in a wheelchair.
"Grandpa, sit carefully." Grandma Chu diligently helped Grandpa Fang, smiling so much that the wrinkles on her face were crowded together. As she said that, she glanced at Xiao Yi and secretly rejoiced: Although Shizi was a little cold to her before, he still remembers his old feelings. That's why she was asked to follow him to Fangfu! When she comes to Japan for a long time, she will always let Shizi know her loyalty.
With the help of Baihui, Nangong Yue finally got off the carriage.
Director Zhao and a gray-haired old lady in a brown auspicious dark-patterned bei were waiting by the side, stepped forward and saluted:
"The little (slave) has seen the old man, the prince, and the prince."
Director Zhao has been to the palace several times. Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue know each other. As for this old lady, she just watched.
Mrs. Fang introduced: "Ayi, Ayue, this is Grandma Gao, and she is also an old man in the house..."
Over the past ten years, Madam Gao was sent to Zhuangzi by Fang Chengling and his wife, and it was not until last year that Mrs. Fang brought her back after she recovered. If you are used to it, even if you tell Mammy Gao."
Madam Gao took a step forward, bowed her knees to Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue again, and said, "Master, this servant has already helped Shizi and Shizi clean up Qiwu Garden."
Grandpa Fang responded.
Before setting off from Luoyue City, he wanted Ayi and the others to live in Qiwu Garden, so he sent someone to He Yucheng to instruct Mammy Gao to pack up in advance.
Mr. Fang felt a little sad in his heart, and he calmed down, looked at Director Zhao, and asked, "Old Zhao, the batch of iron that sent over two hundred stone last time..."
He was only halfway through when he was interrupted by a clear male voice: "Grandfather, you just advised Ayue to take a good rest, why don't you lead by example? If you have anything to do, you can talk about it tomorrow."
The person who spoke was of course Xiao Yi. Although he rode his horse along just now, the conversation between Nangong Yue and Mrs. Fang did not hide from his ears.
Grandpa Fang always obeyed only his grandson's orders, so he answered with a smile: "What Yi said is that my grandfather should lead by example."
In this kind of warm and happy atmosphere, with Mammy Gao leading the way, everyone first sent Mrs. Fang to the main courtyard and settled down the old man's house.
After that, Madam Chu saw the opportunity and boldly suggested: "Master Shizi, Concubine Shizi, will the slave and maid lead the way for you two?" Her attitude was respectful, and she looked at the expressions of the two cautiously. No matter how she believes that she is the one left by the previous princess, she has been suppressed and obedient these days.
Xiao Yi nodded, instructed Mammy Gao to take good care of Mrs. Fang, and then left with Nangong Yue.
Looking at the back of the pair of bi people leaving, Mrs. Fang smiled.
Ayi has been ill-fated since he was a child, and he finally found a loved one. I just hope that after Ayue passes this test, the young couple will be happy from now on!
When Ah Yue recovers her body, she will have her great-grandson to hug her!
Under the kind eyes of Mrs. Fang, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi left the yard and were led by Mother Chu to the northeast of Fang Mansion.
On the way, it was empty, until after passing a courtyard, the old woman who was swept hurriedly stepped forward to salute them.
Passing through the courtyard and bypassing a water pavilion, they proceeded along a veranda...
The more you go inside, the more obvious the feeling of depression is, and even the maid and old lady have not met a few, Chu mama said with emotion as she walked: "Sir, my servant has not been back here for more than ten years. , the mansion has become deserted. I think when the former princess was alive, it was very lively. People in several rooms lived together, and the four generations lived together... When the former princess was in her boudoir, she often held tea parties and flower parties in the mansion with her sisters. …”
Nangong Yue was thoughtful.
Madam Chu is a visitor from Fang Mansion. She must know a lot of old things about Fang Mansion, and it is precisely because of this that Nangong Yue brought her along.
Since I came to Fangfu this time, I will definitely find out what happened and the cause of death of the former princess...
