Chapter 1467 772 Scandal

"What kind of strict law?" Haitang beside Queer asked curiously.

Que'er just sighed with emotion, but when Haitang asked this, Que'er was excited, her flexible eyes shone brightly, and she said crisply: "Haitang, you don't know this, right? A master, with brocade clothes and jade food, this Yan residence is different."

Hearing this, Thrush and the others also looked at Queer expectantly, and the little maids were eager to grab a handful of melon seeds and listen to them while chewing.

Nangong Yue looked at a few little girls, couldn't help laughing, and listened to it as a gossip. Even Xiao Yu, who was in the silk mother's arms, followed everyone's eyes to Que'er curiously, her beautiful big eyes blinking.

Que'er deliberately paused for a moment, and then continued: "It is said that Mrs. Yan was born in a famous family, and she is both virtuous and disciplined. After passing through the door, Mrs. Yan carried a lot of concubines to the room for General Yan, saying that she wanted to Open branches and leaves for the Yan family. However, the concubines of the Yan family have to make rules at Mrs. Yan's place every day, pick curtains, wait for meals, and watch the night. They are no different from maids and wives. I heard that A few years ago, there was an aunt in the Yan family who didn't sleep for several days and nights because of the sickness of Mrs. Yan. Later, she contracted the cold and became more ill. She was sent to Zhuangzi. "

In ordinary mansions, those restless maids are vying to be concubines, mostly to live a good life. The concubines in this mansion are not as decent as those high-profile stewards, so naturally many people With all those thoughts out of the way, Mrs. Yan will always give General Yan a concubine or concubines, either from the maids in the mansion, or from buying a good family child from outside.

Queer continued: "...In recent years, Mrs. Yan has been regarded as a "good name", and many mansions have praised General Yan for marrying a good wife. No wonder the family house is prosperous."

Nangong Yue thought of something, and casually interjected: "That Mrs. Yan seems to be her maiden name Cao, right?"

"Prince Shizi, you really have a good memory." Que'er echoed with a smile.

The Cao family was a big family in the southern border since a hundred years ago, but it had already fallen in the last years of the previous dynasty. Today's Cao family is far inferior in southern Xinjiang, but Mrs. Yan is afraid that she doesn't think so.

Queer kept talking about two or three things about the inner courtyard of the Yan family, from the concubine's aunt to Mrs. Yan's family and then to the concubines and daughters of the Yan family: "There are not many concubines and daughters of the Yan family. It's just that most of the concubines are not successful, and only one third son of Yan has been born, and now he is still very promising..."

The third son of Yan is now following the prince, and the future is afraid that he will overwhelm the direct son of Yan's house...

Thinking about it, Que'er's expression is a little subtle. This Mrs. Yan's journey from her mother's family to her husband's family has been smooth for most of her life. I hope that it will be better to "think about it" in the future.

Haitang listened with interest, and she really admired Que'er in her heart. It turned out that it wasn't just the trivial matters in the palace, but Que'er also knew about the other mansions!

"Then what about the concubine of the Yan family?" Suddenly, a cold female voice asked aloud.

The surroundings were silent for a moment, and the maids were a little stunned, and looked at the sound intuitively.

Meeting Xiao Fei's serious face, Que'er's face could not hide her surprise, she didn't expect the eldest girl to ask questions.

Que'er thought about it, and then answered with consideration: "Back to the eldest girl, the concubines of the Yan family usually stay at the gate of the mansion. It was for Hong Tong sentenced to fill in the house, and the third girl of the Yan family married the eldest son who was guarded by King He Yucheng, but the slave servant heard that the king's eldest son has some disadvantages in his legs and feet..."

Que'er's implication is already obvious. If Hong Tong is not a continuation of the string, if Wang Da Gongzi is not good at legs and feet, how can he marry the prostitute of Yan's house!

However, these families are considered to be well-matched, and no one can say that Mrs. Yan treated the concubine badly, and even praised Mrs. Yan's kindness and found a good husband's family for the concubine.

But people with discerning eyes know Mrs. Yan in their hearts, no, or the Yan family is using prostitutes as bargaining chips for profit!

Today's Xiao Fei can naturally also understand this principle, shook his head and said in disapproval: "It's not good."

After a pause, Xiao Fei continued solemnly: "The Book of Rites says: "Those who are oblivious to the ceremony will have two surnames together. The top is for the ancestral temple, and the bottom is for future generations, so the gentleman pays more attention."

The good of combining the two surnames is to combine the good of the two families. Since then, the two families will help and rely on each other, rather than one coveting the other to benefit from it.

Hearing this, Nangong Yue couldn't help but covered her mouth and smiled, her jet-black eyes filled with a smile.

Their sister Fei is really a little researcher!

During the conversation, the gate of the Great Buddha Temple appeared more than a dozen feet away, and a lively noise came one after another. The outside of the temple was more lively than when Nangong Yue and the others arrived, and the crowd was bustling.

At this moment, under the control of Baihui and several stewards, the servants of the palace had already set up a simple tent with oilcloth, set up a charity booth, and were giving cloth porridge.

In front of the booth, the commoners lined up in two long queues, like two long dragons winding their way through, with no end in sight. There were also some people watching the lively beside them. Also noisy.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei also went to the booth to help, scooping porridge, dressing clothes, and sending a sandalwood incense so that they could go to the temple to burn incense and pray for the soldiers...

In this way, even those people who did not intend to come to receive porridge were also moved, and people came to ask for incense and then entered the temple.

Southern Border soldiers are the foundation of Southern Border. Without these soldiers throwing their heads and blood on the battlefield, there would be no peace and happiness for their people in Southern Border.

Unconsciously, the lively atmosphere outside the temple was also faintly stained with a little awe.

The sun was rising higher and higher, and soon, it was almost noon.

The dozen or so buckets of porridge that I brought today were only the last one. Seeing that Xiao Fei's forehead was sweating, Nangong Yue said, "Sister Fei, you're almost too busy, you go first. Rest for a while. In another half an hour, we'll go back to the manor."

Xiao Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I want to go to the Forest of Steles to have a look. I'll be back soon." To the west of the Great Buddha Temple is a Forest of Steles, which is also well-known in Luoyue City. Some people come here to observe the rubbing, which is also the place where Xiao Fei must go every time he comes here.

Nangong Yue naturally agreed.

Xiao Fei walked out with Taoyao and Ling Xiao, but before taking a few steps, she heard a milky voice from behind: "Yeah!"

Xiao Fei instinctively stopped, turned her head to see what happened to her little nephew, and saw that the little guy in the nurse's arms was looking at her with burning eyes, and stretched out his hand to her with an eager attitude. Even if you don't need to ask, you know that he wants to play with her...

"Yeah!" the little guy urged impatiently.

Seeing his restless appearance, Nangong Yue felt a little helpless and a little funny: Brother Yu has always been restless, so let him stay here with them for an hour, I am afraid he has long been impatient. It's not easy to endure until now.

Nangong Yue helped the little guy straighten his clothes, and told him with a smile, "Brother Yu, you should follow your aunt to play, you have to be obedient."

The little guy smiled stupidly, as if to say, I have always been very obedient.

Xiao Fei immediately nodded and replied, "Sister-in-law, I will take good care of Brother Yu." She looked at Nangong Yue solemnly, as if she had a huge mission on her shoulders, and the smile on the corner of Nangong Yue's mouth deepened. .

Their sister Fei is still so cute.

So, Xiao Xiaoyu went away with Xiao Fei accompanied by Silk Niang and Haitang. The little guy was probably the most excited one in the group. After walking a long distance, he could still hear him "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" The earth kept screaming, pointing to the sky for a while, pointing to the ground for a while...

Nangong Yue watched their backs enter the Great Buddha Temple with a smile.

The Forest of Steles is on the west side of the Big Buddha Temple. As long as you follow a cobblestone path through a bamboo forest and then go around a small pond, it is the Forest of Steles.

At this time, it was almost noon, and most of the pilgrims went to the side hall to use vegetarian food, and it was very deserted near the Forest of Steles.

For Xiao Fei, this is very good.

Xiao Fei didn't plan to come to the Forest of Steles, so he didn't bring any rubbing tools today, so he just took a look.

For Xiao Xiaoyu, this strange place is very interesting, just walking through these stone monuments in the arms of the nurse is so fresh and fun, just like he usually plays hide-and-seek with Mao Xiaobai and Xiaoju , so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Xiao Fei introduced these steles to Xiao Yu in a serious manner, telling him what genre it was, and who wrote it from which dynasty and generation, and commented on them one by one.

Xiao Xiaoyu naturally didn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from applauding his aunt from time to time...

"Teacher and apprentice" are enjoying it.

After a cup of tea, they came to a huge stone stele in the center of the forest of steles. Xiao Fei pointed to the stele and said, "Brother Yu, look, this is regular script. Later, when my aunt enlightens you, let's learn this first. okay?"

"Yeah!"

Xiao Xiao Yu responded with a smile and waved his fists, as if agreeing with Xiao Fei's words, and the maids on the side exchanged a somewhat amusing look. This little grandson is like a concubine, and seems to get along well with the eldest girl.

Following that, Xiao Fei pinched Xiao Xiao Yu's small fleshy finger with great interest and gestured along the inscription on the stone tablet.

It was quiet all around, only the sound of the autumn wind blowing the bamboo forest slowly came from the other side of the pond from time to time, which was vaguely mixed with a delicate and sad female voice, seemingly at a loss, as if choking.

"Auntie, what should I do? My whole life is ruined..."

"Four girls, don't be sad. Everything will be alright..." Another female voice appeased crampedly, probably the "auntie" in the mouth of the first female voice.

"Auntie, I managed to win my mother's favor and get a good marriage... Now it's all been ruined by the third brother. Now, the fifth and sixth sisters are all watching my jokes..." The girl sobbed. Said, "How can I find a good family like the Wu family in the future..."

"Four girls, no, Madam knows that you have been filial and obedient since you were a child, and will definitely arrange a good marriage for you." The aunt reassured again, but her tone lacked confidence.

"It's all to blame for the third brother's lack of self-control!" The more the girl said, the more angry she became, "The third brother is nothing more than a concubine, relying on the prince's favor and trust in him, he doesn't care about me and my concubine's life or death, if the third brother is more obedient , give the eldest brother and the fourth brother the opportunity to enter the new camp, we will surely please my mother, and then our life will be better. How can the third brother be so ignorant and knowledgeable, it is really unfilial! "

"..."

"Auntie, you don't know how to persuade the third brother!" The girl choked again and couldn't help complaining about her aunt.

"Fourth girls are right." My aunt responded with promise, "It's my fault that I didn't go to persuade your third brother earlier... Hey, your third brother doesn't know what to think, a concubine should be a rich man peacefully. Madam is kind-hearted, and she will not miss him a bite to eat..."

"That is, the third brother's heart is too big, and the family and everything are prosperous. The third brother has to disturb our Yan family's house!"

"..."

While talking, the aunt and the girl walked towards Xiao Fei and their voices, and their voices were getting closer.

Xiao Fei, who was behind the stone tablet, frowned slightly, saying: Don't listen to indecent manners, it's just that the words have reached your ears, and it's hard not to listen to them.

Listening to the meaning inside and outside the words of these two people, they are probably the aunt and sister of Yan Sangongzi.

Young Master Yan...

By the way, the owner of the Harrier Eagle.

Thinking of the stupid dog who was clawing at his dress and refused to let go of his claws and frantically wagged his tail, a smile flashed in Xiao Fei's eyes.

Then, she remembered the Yan family affairs that Que'er had just mentioned. As a concubine, Yan Sangongzi can stand out and be reused by his elder brother. He has put in a lot of effort...

Going down the river is easy, going against the current is difficult.

This third son of Yan must have a much more determined character than ordinary people, which is admirable and admirable!

Thinking about it, Xiao Fei's eyes flashed, and she suddenly bowed her head and said to the little guy in the silk lady's arms: "Brother Yu, aunt remembers that there is a stone tablet in front of you.

"Yah!" Xiao Xiaoyu waved his fist and responded without objection.

The group walked out from behind the stone stele, and saw a woman in a rust-colored robe and a girl in a green robe standing outside the stele forest. It was the Yan family who had been with Mrs. Yan before.

Aunt Sun and Miss Yan also saw Xiao Fei, their expressions stiffened, and they glanced at each other quickly, as if they were a little worried.

The two had seen Xiao Fei outside the Palace of Heavenly Kings before, and they knew she was the eldest girl of the palace, so they didn't dare to avoid her. After looking at each other again, they stiffly bowed on the ground: "I have seen Mrs. Xiao."

"Don't be too polite." Xiao Fei said lightly.

They were just a one-sided relationship, they had never recommended each other, and they could even be regarded as acquaintances. Xiao Fei planned to leave directly, but the conversation he heard just now was still in his ears.

Xiao Fei stopped and said slowly: "Yan Si girl, why is it wrong for a man to serve the country?"

Aunt Sun and Miss Yan Si couldn't help but change slightly, convinced that Xiao Fei must have heard the conversation between the two of them just now.

The fourth girl Yan swallowed her saliva, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Xiao Fei is the eldest daughter and was born in Zhennan Wangfu, how can she understand the difficulty of her concubine's life under her mother's hand, and the other party is just talking cold words...

The other party was born with dignity, can I compete with her?

Miss Yan Si's mouth moved, her head lowered, and she could only admit her mistake: "It's my blunder."

Xiao Fei glanced at the fourth girl Yan again, and said one more sentence: "The fourth girl Yan, there are three kinds of unfilial piety.

After speaking, Xiao Fei left.

"Yah...Yeah!" Only Xiao Xiaoyu seemed to have nothing to say, speaking intermittently in a language that no one could understand except himself, while Aunt Sun and Fourth Girl Yan stood frozen in place like two stone pillars with expressions on their faces. Slightly white, his mind is blank.

Xiao Fei had left these two people behind for a long time, and she did not leave any ripples in her heart. She took Xiao Xiao Yu back the same way and headed towards the gate again.

When Xiao Fei and the others left the Great Buddha Temple, they saw that the alms-giving booths outside had already been cleaned up. Compared with the bustling noise before, the entrance of the temple was much quieter at the moment.

Xiao Fei hugged Xiao Xiao Yu and directly boarded a black lacquered carriage with a flat roof to meet with Nangong Yue. It didn't take long for the carriage to leave first, and the rest of the servants just waited to pack their things before returning to Luoyue City.

The carriage roared away and drove back to Luoyue City without stopping.

A red wheel car stopped at the gate of the palace, and was stopped by the concierge.

There are only two people in the southern border who are eligible to ride the Zhu Lun Cha. The driver of the car immediately guessed who was coming, and said to the inside: "Miss Baihui, the third princess is here."

As their carriage approached the palace, they heard a stern question from a woman: "This is His Royal Highness the Third Princess, why can't you go in?"

The concierge was not surprised by this, but just said as usual: "Little one, the masters are not here today..."

At the same time as the concierge replied, the carriage of Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei also drove outside the door. Immediately, several gatekeepers came to greet the carriage, saying that the imperial concubine and the eldest girl had returned.

The palace maid of the third princess naturally saw and heard it, and whispered to the third princess in the Zhulun Cha, the anger that the third princess was about to erupt was extinguished at this moment.

She had an idea and hurriedly opened the curtain on the side of the Zhu Lun carriage, and said high above, "This palace is here at the invitation of Miss Xiao!" She deliberately raised her voice so that Xiao Fei in the carriage could hear, There was a slight threat in his tone, "If you don't believe me, just ask you Miss Xiao!"

Since meeting Xiao Fei at Tayun Restaurant that day, the third princess has been waiting for news from Xiao Fei's side, and then sent a letter to urge, but Xiao Fei's side has been silent, and the third princess can't wait. I went down, so I had to make a trip to Zhennan Wangfu in person.

She stared at the black-painted flat-topped carriage, and was about to open her lips again, when she heard Xiao Fei's cold voice: "I asked His Royal Highness the third princess to come to the residence..."

At the same time as she spoke, a small fleshy hand opened the curtain from inside, and the third princess just looked directly at Xiao Fei.

"Gluck cluck..."

A round head wearing a tiger hat stuck out from Xiao Fei's arms with a smile, Xiao Fei pressed down the little fleshy hand, and the curtain fell again, blocking Xiao Fei's face and isolating the three. The sight of the princess.

The third princess sneered in her heart, and the corner of her mouth drew a complacent arc, she knew that Xiao Fei would never dare to go against her, but she was holding her life!

The corner door of the palace opened, and both carriages were ushered into the palace. After that, the third princess followed Xiao Fei to Yuebiju.

The third princess rudely sat down on the round chair at the top of the main room. After the maids served tea, they were sent to the eaves to guard.

The third princess didn't even bother to drink tea, looked up at Xiao Fei and asked straight to the point, "Have you heard?"

Xiao Fei also looked at the third princess, her eyes and expressions were as calm as usual, and she did not speak.

The third princess felt a burst of fire suddenly rushing to her forehead just by looking at her like this. The third princess could not help clenching her fists in her sleeves, her waist was still straight, and she called her name coldly and threatened: "Xiao Fei, do you want your mother's 'ugly affair' to be known and let the whole southern border know about you What kind of virtue is the mother of the dignified princess of the palace?! Do you think there will be a place for you in this palace, or even this southern border?!"

Xiao Fei picked up the tea cup unhurriedly, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and took another sip.

For the third princess, that leisurely appearance was like adding fuel to the fire. The third princess was so angry that blue veins burst out on her forehead, and suddenly stood up and said, "Xiao Fei, you think this palace would not dare to say..."

"If your Royal Highness the third princess wants to say something, then go ahead and say it." Xiao Fei put down the tea cup and interrupted the third princess with a light statement. Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, neither light nor heavy, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

The third princess felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head, and she was dumbfounded. Xiao Fei, what did she just say? ! She... is she crazy?
