Chapter 1348 654 Suicide Note (Two More)

At the moment when Xiao Yi's voice fell, the railing rolled off the table top, fell to the ground with a "dong" sound, and rolled forward again.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dignified, until an excited cat meow suddenly sounded, "Meow--" The white cat got out of nowhere and rushed towards the rolling railing excitedly, pushing and rolling with its paws. hug and bite...

"Pfft—" Xiao Yi laughed out loud, leaning back and forth with laughter, like a naughty big boy.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but also laughed out loud, the room was relaxed and happy.

The maids looked at Mao Xiaobai, but they were a little confused. Should he let him play now, or should he take him away?

Before they were finished, the white cat felt bored, leaped lightly over the railing, and swaggered out of the house.

Nangong Yue watched it leave, and then she looked down at a section of railing on the ground, her lips slightly raised, and said, "Heh, that's all for the left."

This matter is actually very simple to deal with, even if there is no real evidence, it is just a concubine, and there is no need to make it like the official trial case.

only……

Aunt Mei is quite favored by King Zhennan, but now she is pregnant again, which is a little troublesome.

Finally, the relationship between A Yi and his father has eased. If they are handled at will, it is very likely that the relationship between father and son will become rigid again.

In the past few years, the Southern Border Connection has faced external turmoil, and countless soldiers have sacrificed their blood and lives, and Yi has taken the lead and fought bloody battles. Only in this way has this hard-won peace been obtained and this territory has been defended. It seems to be peaceful now, but in fact, the foreign aggression is not clean, one is that the surrounding small countries are still eager to move, and the other is that the imperial court has always been jealous of the southern border. When the external aggression is not clean, there must be no more internal worries.

Furthermore...

Thinking of Xiao Yi's unbearable reputation in his previous life, Nangong Yue frowned slightly.

In this life, since Ayi has her, she will not let these nasty things in the inner house affect him again.

Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi with a smile, and said, "...Ayi, the inner house has its own way of doing things in the inner house, so you don't need to worry about this. I'm also idle when I'm idle, just play with her slowly." As she said that, she casually instructed, "Aunt Mei has done a good job in saving the five girls, and will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. Queer, you can do it."

Queer responded with a crisp "yes", and all the maids in the room pursed their lips and chuckled.

Xiao Yi did not speak.

He looked at Nangong Yue deeply, only her eyes were gleaming with peach blossoms, and they only reflected her.

His stinky girl was always like this, thinking about everything for him, but he always did too little for her.

He suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly into his arms, burying his face in her neck, absorbing the fragrance from her body...

The maids looked at each other and stepped back silently with ambition.

Nangong Yue pushed Xiao Yi away embarrassedly and said, "Ayi, we have to accompany grandfather to dinner."

Xiao Yi was stunned, and then he remembered that he also invited Guan Yubai to listen to Yuge's dinner with Mrs. Fang. He rubbed her aggrievedly, and was reluctant to let go of his arm.

Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to take Xiao Yi's hand, saying, "Let's go there quickly, don't keep grandfather waiting."

The two went to Tingyu Pavilion while talking and laughing.

After all, Concubine Mei and others have not been taken seriously by them.

As soon as they entered the courtyard of Tingyu Pavilion, they saw Xiao Sibai sitting on a branch boredly admiring the faint bright moon in the sky. He just glanced at Xiao Yi and the others, and continued to look up at the drowsy sky.

It seems that Guan Yubai is one step ahead of them.

A little maid from Ting Yu Pavilion was leading the way for the two of them. Before entering the door, he heard Mrs. Fang's hearty laughter: "...Yu Bai, these paintings are from the warehouse of the old house of He Yucheng Cong. I found it here, come and taste it for me."

Guan Yu said with a smile: "Is this painting of "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping" the work of Liu Jiuren, the master of calligraphy and painting at that time?"

"Yu Bai, your vision is really good." Mrs. Fang was even more delighted, and he continued, "This is Liu Jiuren's work in his early years. When he was young, he called himself Qingshan Layman, and the square seal in the lower right corner of this picture scroll. It was also carved by Liu Jiuren himself, although the carving art is still a little tender, but it has become a school of its own."

During the conversation, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi entered a studio next to the study, and saw Guan Yubai standing in front of an ink painting hanging on the wall, with Mrs. Fang in a wheelchair sitting beside him.

Grandpa Fang waved to the young couple and said, "Ayi, Ayue, you can come." After that, he hurriedly ordered the maids to set the meal.

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue stepped forward and saluted Mrs Fang in unison.

Looking at the pair of golden boys and girls, Mrs. Fang couldn't stop smiling.

At this moment, three young people are standing there, all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, which are rare in the world. It is seen that Mrs. Fang secretly admires them.

Xiao Yi heard that Guan Yubai and Mrs. Fang were discussing Liu Jiuren's painting just now, so he casually glanced at the painting "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping" on the wall, and said, "Xiao Bai, I remember your Is your birthday coming soon? Well, I'll give you a BMW! I have a good eye for horses!"

"Yubai, your birthday is coming soon." Mrs. Fang smiled and said cheerfully, "It just so happened that I bought some good seal stones from Heyucheng this time. Would you choose one of them?"

Guan Yu laughed in vain: "Mr. Fang, Yi, there are still several months until my birthday."

Nangong Yue on the side lowered her eyes and laughed secretly. These grandparents and grandchildren like to give gifts to others, but she didn't think Guan Yubai had a chance to refuse.

Sure enough, Xiao Yi said again with a smile: "Just right, it will take some time to pick a good horse. When your birthday arrives, Xiaobai, my BMW will be delivered."

Grandpa Fang nodded in agreement, stroked his beard, and asked casually, "Yubai, how old are you this year?"

Guan Yu replied with a smile: "In a few months, it will be four out of twenty."

Time flies, it's been seven years in the blink of an eye, his eyes darkened, and he smiled nonchalantly.

Grandpa Fang felt a little sigh in his heart. Guan Yubai was a few years older than his grandson Xiao Yi, but his grandson had already married and established a business before he was weak, while Guan Yubai was alone...

"Yubai, have you ever had a marriage?" Mrs. Fang asked kindly in the manner of an elder.

Guan Yubai paused for a moment with the tea cup in his hand, shook his head, and said calmly: "In the past, at the border, the busy war delayed the marriage... Then something happened at home." As he spoke, his dark eyes darkened, warm and mellow. There was a hint of astringency in his voice, "Now I'm alone, without any worries, and I'm happy and at ease. I don't have this plan for the time being."

Guan Yubai was the only one left in the official family, so it is no wonder that Guan Yubai’s heart changed drastically, and Mrs. Fang felt a little embarrassed, but he didn’t persuade him. At this age, he has experienced great changes in his life again and again, and he has already seen a lot of it. Life is only a few decades in the world, just be worthy of your conscience!

He smiled lovingly and said: "Yubai, I heard Ayi said that a few days are spring hunting, you and Ayi and the others go to play, young people should be more reckless, don't imitate me, an old man who lives in the house all day. ."

Of course, Guan Yubai understood the good intentions of Mrs. Fang, and answered with a smile.

Xiao Yi said with a smile on the side: "Grandfather, Xiao Bai has already promised Han Yu to take him out hunting, but he doesn't dare to break his promise!"

One sentence made everyone laugh.

At this time, the maid came to report that dinner had been set.

So Xiao Yi pushed Mr. Fang's wheelchair to the main room, and Nangong Yue and Guan Yubai followed closely behind.

Mrs. Fang eats lightly on weekdays, but knows that Xiao Yi likes meat, so this large table dinner has become more than a dozen ways of meat, and the types of meat are also varied, ranging from pork, fish, chicken, From duck meat to shrimp meat and crab meat, everything was available. Nangong Yue was amused and gave Xiao Yi a teasing look.

Xiao Yi didn't care, he picked up his chopsticks and devoured it.

He just loves meat!

Not only did he eat by himself, but he also invited everyone to eat. Before he knew it, Nangong Yue and Mrs. Fang were coaxed by him to eat half a bowl of rice.

This dinner was originally enjoyed by the host and guests, but I didn't want it. When the hot tea and fruits were served after the meal, the little maid from the Yuge suddenly came to report that the King of Zhennan had sent someone to see the prince and the prince.

Soon, a blue-clothed maid was led towards the main room.

Queer's eyes moved slightly, and she bowed her head in Nangong Yue's ear and said, "Prince Prince, this is the maid in Concubine Mei's yard."

Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, and there was a faint smile on her lips.

She took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, and saw the blue-clothed maid carrying her skirt into the main room, first salute everyone, and then said respectfully: "Prince Prince, Concubine Mei fell into the water and feels unwell, the lord ordered the servants. Please come over and show Concubine Mei..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a languid male voice say lightly: "Come on, drag the stick down and blame the twenty big boards!" How dare a concubine let Ah Yue look for her? What a big face!

The blue-clothed maid suddenly raised her head and murmured aggrievedly: "Master Shizi, this slave is just a king... uh!"

She didn't have a chance to finish her words, and in the next instant, her mouth was blocked by the two women. She was unable to speak no matter how hard she struggled, unable to break free, and was dragged rudely by the women in the blink of an eye down.

Nangong Yue put down the tea cup, the smile on her face did not change.

Although King Zhennan has many concubines, he doesn't like being spoiled for the best face. Therefore, Nangong Yue did not think that he would let his dignified son-in-law and eldest daughter-in-law go to check the pulse of a concubine.

Is this someone deliberately acting against yin and yin, or something else, it makes some sense.

Nangong Yue Que'er nodded slightly, motioning her to ask for a good doctor.

Queer immediately understood the meaning, and bowed his knees and stepped back.

This little episode passed quickly, leaving no ripples in the hearts of everyone.

After dinner, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi pushed Mrs. Fang around the yard to digest food and admire the moon, while Guan Yubai was very interested in the paintings in the studio, and with Mrs. Fang's permission, they stayed in the studio to enjoy the paintings.

The Fang family has a long history and profound heritage. The paintings collected by Mrs. Fang are naturally not simple. The dozens of calligraphy and paintings in this studio are all fine works. After Guan Yubai walked around the studio, he admired them one by one. Fan, he stopped in front of the painting "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping Teng" by Liu Jiuren. After appreciating it for a while, he was about to leave when he suddenly noticed something, his eyes flashed, and his steps stopped again.

Guan Yubai raised his hand, and his slender fingers rubbed the silk backing of the painting, thoughtfully.

A wheelchair sounded along with the sound of the curtain being lifted, Xiao Yi pushed Mr. Fang in, and Mrs. Fang saw Guan Yubai standing in front of the "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping Picture" and seemed to be staring, and smiled: "Yubai, so you are so Like Liu Jiuren?"

Guan Yubai intuitively wanted to veto it, and heard Mrs. Fang continue: "It's rare that you like Yubai. If this painting is not a gift from an old friend, why not even give it to Yubai?"

Saying that, Mrs. Fang's eyes also fell on the painting, with a bit of nostalgia, a bit of melancholy, and a bit of sigh and sadness in his eyes.

Both Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi faintly felt that this old friend was an "old friend" who "had gone".

"Master Fang, dare to ask who gave this painting?" Guan Yu Bai Zhuang asked unintentionally.

One sentence, however, led Mrs. Fang's eyes to Xiao Yi again. The people in this room were all smart and thoughtful.

Is it to say...

really--

Grandpa Fang said with some nostalgia: "This is still a gift from Yi's grandfather back then."

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin with a smile and said, "This is like a grandfather's vision."

The Nan Wang of Laozhen was originally a rough man, and he knew nothing about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everything about swords, horses, swords, etc. Liu Jiuren's painting "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping Teng Teng" is quite the essence of war horses, so it has entered the eyes of the old town Nanwang.

However, it is really surprising that my grandfather would give a painting to a friend!

Guan Yu's white eyes flashed, and he clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Fang, I wonder if you can lend me this painting and take it back to appreciate it?"

Seeing that Mr. Fang liked him, he naturally agreed.

Guan Yubai personally took off the picture scroll, carefully rolled it up again, and put it into the long picture box. Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows with his careful and meticulous movements. For some reason, Xiao Yi felt that something was wrong, but he didn't. Vibrant.

After a few people stayed in the studio for a while, Mrs. Fang led them to take a look at the treasures in his collection one by one, and Guan Yubai said goodbye.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue also left.

After the three of them left the Tingyu Pavilion, before Guan Yubai could speak, Nangong Yue said thoughtfully, "Ayi, I'll go back first."

Looking at Nangong Yue's clear eyes, Xiao Yi knew that she had also discovered the abnormality of Guan Yubai.

The three split into two at the entrance of the courtyard. Nangong Yue went back to his courtyard, while Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai went to Xiao Yi's study.

"boom."

After the study door was closed, Xiao Yi couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Bai, what did you find?"

Guan Yubai took out the picture in the painting box, touched the silk mount above the painting again, and said with certainty, "Ayi, I just happened to find out that there should be another layer in the mount." Every mount must have two layers, and often used to hide things.

Just now, Guan Yubai noticed that the top of the painting seemed to be a little thicker than the bottom while viewing the painting, and only then did he realize that the painting had another mystery.

When he learned that the painting was from the Nanwang of the old town, Guan Yubai hurriedly offered to borrow it as a reward.

Xiao Yi's fingers also touched the silk lace, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he said decisively, "Open it and take a look."

Guan Yubai nodded and got busy.

Of course, they could tear open the frame simply and roughly, but no one wanted to do that. Guan Yubai carefully took off the upper scroll, and then dipped the pen tip in water to wet the edge of the frame, and then bit by bit, bit by bit. Tear it apart...it didn't hurt the painting in the slightest.

Sure enough, after tearing off the edge of the frame, there is a hollow space in the middle, a piece of letter paper, or a piece of silk cloth full of words, showing a corner between the two layers of frame.

Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi glanced at each other subconsciously, and then Guan Yubai carefully took out the thin silk cloth and flattened it on the desk.

Xiao Yi only glanced at the silk cloth and said with certainty, "It's my grandfather's handwriting!"

This is a letter left by the old town Nan Wang. Whether it is named or not, Xiao Yi, as the eldest grandson, has the right to deal with it first, and Guan Yu Bai thoughtfully avoided it.

Xiao Yi read the letter slowly, using his index finger to read word by word along the line of words, and there was no longer a trace of smile on Zhang Li's face.

Even if he didn't see the contents of the letter, just by looking at Xiao Yi's expression, Guan Yubai could guess that the contents of the letter must be of great importance, related to the palace, no, or the entire southern border.

Unconsciously, a faint haze appeared in Guan Yubai's heart...
