Chapter 1401 706 Enlightenment (Two More)

In an instant, a lot of thoughts flashed through Nangong Yue's mind, and she felt a little sigh in her heart.

Xiao Yi's grievances are clear. Although the ancient family once provided military horses for the former Nanliang, as long as they keep themselves safe, Xiao Yi will not kill them all, but they will kill themselves, and they will be implicated all over the family. They only pity those young children. ...

Da da da……

With the regular sound of chariots, the carriage quickly passed by the gate of Gu Na's house.

With a flash of emotion, Nangong Yue was quickly attracted by the lively streets outside.

As the flow of people on the street increased, the speed of the carriage became slower and slower.

Seeing this, Nangong Yue simply got off the carriage with Xiao Yi and walked towards the north gate, with the two maids following behind the masters.

The street they are on leads directly to the North City Gate. Because there is a market today, not only the people in the city, but also several nearby small towns and villages have come here to attend the market, and there are bustling crowds as far as they can see.

It was the first time for Nangong Yue to come to the market in Nanliang. The vegetables, fish and meat, fruit snacks, decorations, clothing and headscarves sold in the market were very different from those of the King of Dayu and Nanjiang. It feels unfamiliar and fresh, but also with a hint of familiarity. The so-called people's livelihood is actually the basic necessities of life.

The two walked aimlessly. When they saw fresh food and snacks, they tasted them. When they saw interesting decorations, they bought them. After a while, Xiao Yi already had big bags in his hands, but looking at his With a smile on his face, he was clearly enjoying it.

From time to time, there were bursts of shouting from the surroundings. Even if the language was not clear, Nangong Yue could guess that they were shouting for their own products. Suddenly, a bright red like a fire in front attracted Nangong Yue's attention. Raising his eyebrows with interest, he happily pulled up Xiao Yi's sleeve and said, "Ayi, look, it's a sugar painting!"

Nangongyue may not be very fond of sugar paintings, but when she saw the sugar paintings in the Central Plains in Nanliang, she suddenly felt a sense of joy of "meeting old friends in a foreign land".

Seeing her happy, Xiao Yi directly took her hand and shook it: "Let's go, let's buy sugar paintings."

The two walked quickly towards the booth selling sugar paintings. The closer they got to that direction, the more people there were. A group of children ranging from four to nine years old were drooling around the sugar painting booth. Shining like a jewel.

A candy stick inserted on a bamboo stick has many patterns, and the stall owner used amber syrup to draw vivid and interesting patterns. Under the bright color, glowing with attractive luster.

Seeing that the stall owner painted a butterfly with a complicated pattern in one go, Nangong Yue could almost hear the sound of the children swallowing saliva, and couldn't help laughing. Also, there are a few children who don't like candy.

Seeing that Nangong Yue was also watching with relish, Xiao Yi thought about it, walked to the stall owner and spoke to him in Nan Liang language, and threw him another piece of silver.

Nangong Yue originally thought that he was going to buy sugar paintings for himself, but the next moment he saw the thin middle-aged stall owner weighed the broken silver and walked away happily. Xiao Yi sat down behind the booth and scooped up a little thick sugar juice with a small spoon.

Obviously, he wanted to paint the sugar painting himself.

Those children were also very surprised. They were chatting and talking, all of them were very excited, wanting to see what this beautiful big brother could draw.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yilue was already holding a small spoon and pouring it back and forth on the slate of the booth quickly. As the wisps of candy fluttered, the outline of an eagle was quickly outlined, lifelike, and then the feather feathers in the details. His movements slowed down a little...

The children soon saw that it was an eagle, with burning eyes and exclamations of admiration from time to time.

After making the last stroke, Xiao Yi proudly looked at Nangong Yue and said with a smile, "Madam, do you want to buy a candy painting?"

Nangong Yue looked around for half a turn, then pointed to the stall selling flower strings beside her, and said, "Come on a flower."

Xiao Yi smiled confidently, and drew several sugar flowers on the slate, roses, lily of the valley, jasmine... After a while, Nangong Yue grabbed a lot of sugar flowers in her hands. Those sugar paintings were so beautiful in the sun It was crystal clear, and those little girls were reluctant to look away.

At this time, a five- or six-year-old girl in pink took a step forward towards Xiao Yi and asked timidly, "Big brother, can you draw cats?"

The little girl spoke the simplest Nan Liang language, so Nangong Yue understood it too.

Xiao Yi glanced at the little girl, scooped up a spoonful of sugar juice with a small spoon, and painted with sugar again... After a few paintings, he has become proficient a lot, and he can draw a straight line in three or two strokes. The fat cat sleeping curled up in a ball, with a little tabby on its round body, looks alive.

It's a small orange. Nangong Yue recognized her cat at once, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. After going out for so long, she really missed the soft bodies of her cats Xiaobai and Xiaoju.

After Xiao Yi finished painting the cat, he skillfully used a small spatula to scoop up the sugar-painted cat, glued it on a bamboo stick, then turned to the little girl and asked in Nan Liang words, "Is it like it?"

The little girl's eyes sparkled, staring at the candy-painted cat as if possessed.

Xiao Yi curled his lips into a smile, Zhang Li's face looked more radiant in the sun, but Xiao Yiru Nangong Yue could see a hint of slyness in his smile, and sure enough, in the next instant, he opened his mouth, "Ah Woo." One sip, and only half of the candy-painted cat is left...

The audience was silent for a moment, and the children were dumbfounded, especially the little girl in pink staring at the candy-painted cat with no head, her mouth shriveled, and her black and white eyes were wet, as if she was about to cry at any time.

This guy's bad taste has struck again. Nangong Yue rested her forehead silently, she was already worried about her daughter in her belly. With a worry-free father like Xiao Yi, her daughter's future is really not optimistic...

"Little sister, don't be sad, how about this one for you?" Nangong Yue picked up a candy painting from the booth and handed it to the little girl in pink, speaking in a jerky Nan Liang language.

Of course, the other children around also understood, and sighed enviously one after another.

The little girl in pink looked at Nangong Yue tremblingly, but did not take it. Seeing this, Nangong Yue simply handed the candy painting directly to her.

The little girl stared contentedly at the candy painting in her hand, and was really reluctant to eat it, so she leaned over to take a sip, smiled contentedly, and then handed it to the other little girl in Cuiyi on the right, who also licked it carefully. He licked and smiled.

Looking at these children, Nangong Yue smiled and said in a jerky Nan Liang language: "You line up, this brother and I will invite you to eat sugar paintings."

It's just to eat some candy paintings, Xiao Yi naturally let Nangong Yue.

Thinking of the sweet candy painting, the children immediately became overjoyed and looked at Nangong Yue in disbelief, so happy that they almost jumped up.

A boy with a runny nose couldn't help but asked in sarcastic words, "Sister, is it true?"

In fact, compared to this child, the owner of the sugar painting booth was more eager to know the answer to this question. His cloudy eyes almost didn't look like copper coins. In this way, he earned double money today.

The children asked and returned, and a long winding dragon was quickly lined up, and their expectant eyes were cast on the sugar painting.

What these children ask for is nothing more than candy paintings.

The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and she said in Nan Liang again, "Have you heard the story of Kong Rong letting Li?"

The children blinked suspiciously, apparently ignorant.

Telling a story is too difficult, completely beyond the Nan Liang language of the three-legged cat that Nangong Yue has mastered, so she looked at Xiao Yi with a smile.

Xiao Yi sighed silently in his heart. He hasn't told stories to his own daughters yet, but he will tell stories to a group of children from other families first.

He told the story of Kong Rong Rangli succinctly in a few words. Those children listened thoughtfully, and immediately changed their positions under the leadership of a few older children. This time, the one standing at the front was The little "slug", the rest of the children lined up in a ladder of ages.

When Kong Rong gave pears, he asked the older children to give in to the younger ones.

Nangong Yue smiled slightly and gave the children an encouraging look. Of course, they were not the ones drawn by Xiao Yi, but they had to pick up their favorite flavors at the booth. If they weren't enough, let the boss continue to paint them.

The children took the candy paintings and ran away happily, some even said that they wanted to take them back to their younger brothers and sisters to eat.

Looking at the happy backs of these children, Nangong Yue was thoughtful, turned her head to look at Xiao Yi, and suggested, "Ayi, shall we open a school in Nanliang?"

Her obsidian eyes shone brightly.

To win the hearts of the people, you can start from children, teach Dayu characters, customs, etc., and influence children subtly. When those children grow up, naturally they only know Dayu's good, and don't remember the Nanliang once... In the next generation, these Nanliang people will become Taiyu people.

Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue with a smile, if it weren't for this place on the street, he really wanted to kiss Nangong Yue fiercely.

His Ah Yue is so smart!

Xiao Yi had no choice but to raise his hand, a slender index finger tugged the hair on Nangong Yue's cheek behind his ear, and said, "Actually, Xiao Bai also thought of this, we plan to start at Wuli first. There are several schools in the countryside near Cheng, and they enroll children for free." He said with a sly smile, "Two meals a day."

Of course, Xiao Yi didn't raise these Nanliang children in vain, but whether it was Dayu or Nanliang, ordinary children would help with housework at a young age, so how could those parents be willing to have less than half of them at home? 's labor. But it would be different if they took care of two meals. The so-called "half-sized boy, eat me to death", even for the sake of eating and drinking, those Nanliang people would send their children to school.

At that time, as long as it is stipulated that children cannot complete their studies, they must drop out of school, and children will naturally study hard.

Naturally, what this school teaches is not the Four Books and Five Classics. Guan Yubai specially compiled a book called "Book of Thousand Words", which compiles the words used to educate the people from various books since ancient times, such as "In the beginning of man, nature is inherently evil. ”, so it is necessary to “transform one’s nature into hypocrisy” through acquired etiquette education; for example, “The minister serves the ruler, the son serves the father, and the wife serves the husband. Also”; another example is the Confucian concept of loyalty and filial piety, but the object of this “loyalty” is of course the Zhennan Palace, and so on.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yi stroked his chin proudly, thinking to himself: Xiaobai looks so innocent, but his stomach is really black! Haha, but he likes it!

While talking, Xiao Yi was attracted by a stall in front, pointed to the front and said, "Ayue, I remember that the coconut glutinous rice dumpling with black sesame filling tastes good, let's buy it and give it to Xiaobai."

Xiao Yi thief smiled, Nangong Yue couldn't help but squinted, and went to the stall selling dim sum together.

The two continued to walk forward while talking, laughing loudly.

On this day, they did not return to the palace until the market was dispersed around noon.

When Nangongyue was three months pregnant, and everything in Nanliang had settled down, Xiao Yi planned to take her back to Luoyue City.

So, Nangong Yue eagerly prepared various gifts. Although she had prepared a few large carriages sporadically these days, she still felt that something was missing, and she racked her brains every day to think about what else to buy. brought back.

Baihui and Queer are even more busy. They have to arrange all the trivial matters for the return trip. They also need to decorate the new carriage that Shizi has just customized for Shizi, so that Shizi can stay in the carriage. Be more comfortable.

After a busy few days, things were finally sorted out.

In addition to the slaves who came from the southern border, they were going back to Zhennan Wangfu, and there were a few more Nanliang palace maids on the way back, so that they could serve on the road. Of course, those who can be taken away have their own strengths. For example, the sweet and sour desserts made by a palace maid are very suitable for Nangong Yue’s appetite; another palace maid is skilled in weaving various flower baskets, sachets, and serving various spices. ... Baihui asked Nangong Yue and brought it along with her.

On the day of departure, it was bright, and more than a dozen carriages and accompanying servants and soldiers were already waiting at the gate of the palace.

Guan Yubai also got up early and came to the gate of the palace in person to see Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue off.

The early morning breeze blew on Guan Yubai's body, blowing the corners of his robes flying, looking thin and thin.

"Cough cough."

Guan Yu coughed a few times, and Xiao Yi and Xiao Si were both frowning slightly.

"I'm fine." Guan Yubai said hurriedly, "It's just that the summer flowers are in full bloom recently, and the fragrance of the flowers is a little sultry." Just now, his throat was a little itchy because of the pollen, so he coughed a few times.

Xiao Si stared at him every day. If he didn't fall asleep when he arrived at Hai, Xiao Si's face would be covered with dark clouds.

"Xiao Bai," Xiao Yi patted Guan Yubai's shoulder solemnly and asked, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who 'dedicates himself to death'?"

Nangong Yue shook her head for Guan Yubai.

Xiao Yi winked flatteringly at Nangong Yue, as if to say, I really know that I am not Ah Yue!

Then, he said again: "There is a saying: those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black. We have known each other for so long, why haven't you learned a single star from me?"

Hearing this, the corner of Xiao Si's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to ask Xiao Yi, do you think you are "Zhu" or "Mo".

Guan Yubai of course understood that Xiao Yi was persuading him not to work too hard, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I know."

Xiao Yi smiled even more brilliantly, and there was a dazzling look on Zhang Li's face.

"Xiao Bai, the cold winter in Nanliang is not good for your health. You can go back to Luoyue City after the fall." Xiao Yi continued eloquently like an old mother, "Anyway, the general situation of Nanliang has been set, and there are still you. The boys from the Cavalry Camp and the New Talent Camp are available for dispatch. You can ask them to do whatever you want, anyway, it is a blessing for them to be summoned by you!" Xiao Yizhen said eloquently.

Queer on the side almost sympathized with the "those boys" in Xiao Yi's mouth. Although it seems that Lord Shizi is right, being able to follow Marquis Anyi and learn something casually is enough for them to benefit from endlessly.

Xiao Si glared at Xiao Yi, his eyes seemed to be saying, why are there so many gibberish? Don't hurry to leave, so that the young master is here to accompany you!

Xiao Yi was not a dawdling person either. After explaining things in general, he naturally abandoned the horse and got into the carriage with Nangong Yue.

Their carriages and horses drove all the way out of the palace gate and galloped along the wide street. Guan Yubai stood there and watched them leave, with no sadness, no remorse, no parting emotions...

Parting is for reunion.

They are moving towards their goal step by step, getting closer and closer...

The corners of Guan Yu's white lips curled slightly, sketching a smile from the heart.
