The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(59)
He took out a bamboo tube from his bosom, and poured out a thin special charcoal pencil and a small roll of paper from the bamboo tube.
Without getting off the horse, he held the pen in one hand and wrote on the small piece of paper in his hand: Encountered a bully molesting on the road, the driver heroically saved the beauty, and Su Nanny was safe and sound.
He paused, considering whether to add a sentence and finally reported the name of His Highness, and the group of evil people fled. After thinking about it, he decided not to add it. The paper was limited in length, so it was better to be concise. He put the small piece of paper into the silver tube tied to the claws of the black eagle and let it fly into the sky.
After doing all this, he got off the horse and chased after it.
Before dark, the two finally arrived in Linyun County.
The carriage stopped in front of the Yao family, and Yao Niang actually felt timid. It was still Zhou Sheng who took the initiative to get off the car and knocked on the door, "Is there anyone in the house?"
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and the courtyard door was opened.
It was Yao Cheng.
Seeing Yao Niang getting off the carriage, Yao Cheng was a little surprised: "Yao Niang, you're back."
He said hello and wanted to turn around and shout to the yard, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind and said: "Come in, come in and talk."
Yao Niang walked into the yard, and Zhou Sheng was also pulled in by Yao Cheng with the carriage.
Yao Cheng said that Zhou Sheng had worked hard to come here, so he had to have a meal before leaving. Zhou Sheng refused again and again, but finally agreed. He was not greedy for a meal at the Yao family, he just didn't want to miss any opportunity to get along with Yao Niang.
As soon as Yao Niang walked into the yard, Hui Niang, who heard the noise, rushed up and hugged her.
"You dead girl, you've been gone for so long and you didn't come back to see me."
Hui Niang wiped her tears while scolding, and Yao Niang was also sobbing. The two women hugged each other and cried as soon as they entered the door, and Yao Cheng subconsciously exchanged glances with Zhou Sheng. Seeing that Zhou Sheng and he had such a tacit understanding, Yao Cheng looked at his sister-in-law over there, and then looked at Zhou Sheng who was silently looking at him over there, and couldn't help but have some thoughts.
Yao Niang thought that Li would say a few sarcastic words when she came back this time, but Li changed her earlier attitude and treated her very warmly.
Not only to Yao Niang, but also to Zhou Sheng, her face revealed a creepy enthusiasm. She even asked Yao Cheng to go out and buy some snacks to treat Zhou Sheng to a drink, after all, the guest is the guest.
Yao Cheng obeyed and went out to buy snacks. It happened that Hui Niang and Yao Niang had prepared dinner together. This ordinary family did not have any rules of separate tables. Everyone sitting at the same table seemed very lively.
There was one person missing at the table, it was Yan Jieer.
Yao Niang didn't know what happened to the Yao family recently, but she didn't pay much attention to this person. After all, a large part of her experience was due to Yan Jie'er. It was good that she didn't take revenge, so how could she care about the other party.
At the table, Li asked about Zhou Sheng again and again.
She asked very detailed questions, including where he was from, who was in his family, and what he did in the palace. Yao Niang didn't understand what she meant, but it didn't mean that Yao Cheng and his wife didn't understand. In the constant interruption of the couple, Li ended up asking for trouble, but she had already grasped Zhou Sheng's general situation.
After dinner, Yao Cheng asked Zhou Sheng to stay at home for one night before leaving, and Zhou Sheng didn't refuse. After all, everyone knew that it was unsafe to travel in the dark.
After Zhou Sheng was settled, Yao Cheng and his wife went to talk to Yao Niang.
Yao Niang was holding Xiaobao and was reluctant to let go. The half-year-old baby was just lovable.
The little hands were chubby, and the little arms and legs were like lotus roots, which really made people want to bite them. Xiaobao is not like the little princess. There is ice in the house to cool off. It is very good for a commoner to have a basin of well water in the room. So Xiaobao wears very little, and a big red bellyband wraps his little body, which makes him look even whiter and cuter.
After a few days of conditioning, Yao Niang's milk gradually increased. She saved it all day today, waiting to come back to feed her son well. So as soon as Xiaobao rubbed his little face against her chest, she took her son and hid in the room to feed him.
Xiaobao seemed to recognize his mother's taste and had no resistance to her. He sucked it. A half-year-old baby is at the time when his appetite is gradually increasing, but sucking hard makes people feel a sweet feeling of being hollowed out.
Yao Niang inexplicably saw a man's face on this little face.
She looked at it carefully and found that Xiaobao's eyes were very similar to those of King Jin, both of them had narrow and long eye contours. It's just that Xiaobao is still young now, so it's not obvious, but you can see it if you look closely.
Yao Niang's eyes are not of this type. She has almond eyes, which are round and slightly upturned at the corners, giving people a very gentle and charming feeling.
In other words, Xiaobao looks like his father?
When she thought of this, Yao Niang subconsciously felt disgusted.
She didn't want to recall the past that was too painful to look back on. Seriously speaking, Yao Niang had never seen the face of the evil man who had forced her.
Yao Niang didn't want to think about it anymore, so she changed the side for Xiaobao to eat, and Xiaobao fell asleep while eating.
She caressed her son's little head with heartache, and she couldn't get enough of looking at him. Obviously, Xiaobao had grown up and looked different, but the feeling of blood connection in her arms could not be erased even if there were thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Yaoyao." There was a knock on the door from Hui Niang outside.
Yao Niang hurriedly put Xiaobao on the bed and got up to open the door.
Seeing that her brother-in-law was also there, she hurriedly welcomed the two in.
Yao Niang had something on her mind, and Yao Cheng also had something on his mind.
When the two of them opened their mouths, they both asked about the fact that the Jin Palace sent someone to inquire about Yao Niang's details.
After a while, Yao Chengcai said: "Don't be afraid, Yao Niang. I guess the people above are planning to reuse you, so they sent people down to check your life experience. After all, the little princess is different from her, she is a very valuable person. Naturally, the nuns who are around us cannot be ignored."
If there hadn't been that incident, this statement would have made sense. However, Yaoniang had such a relationship with Prince Jin that she always felt that things were not that simple.
But she couldn't come up with a difficult method, so she could only put it aside for the time being.
"Brother-in-law, do you think this kind of statement can be concealed? Will the people from the palace send someone down to find out if I will get married and have children?"
Yao Cheng looked at her with doubts on his face and asked: "Why did the palace send people to inquire about such a trivial matter? Isn't it just that your background is innocent? Your father-in-law is a scholar and your brother-in-law is a class leader. If the daughter of this family is still His family background is not considered innocent, and my brother-in-law doesn’t know what kind of family is considered innocent.”
"No..." Yao Niang wanted to say something immediately, but she stopped. If she said too much, she was afraid of spilling the beans. She didn't want her sister and brother-in-law to know that she was obviously going to work as a nanny in the palace, but she was secretly involved with the father of her child. That would make her feel shameless to see others. After all, she is the daughter of a good family.
Just like in my previous life, my sister and brother-in-law knew about it, and I also had a reputation, but it was done.
Seeing her sister's confusion, Huiniang was amused and said, "Okay, okay, I knew you would be worried about this. Do you think my sister and your brother-in-law are at home during this period and they came over here free of charge?"
Yao Niang cast a doubtful look at her, Hui Niang smiled and said: "After you left, I went back home and told my parents and eldest brother Zhu, asking them to tell the outside world that you were married this time. , married a salesman who was looking for a living outside. Because the other party’s family was not in the area, the marriage was in a hurry.”
"But if you get married, it's impossible for the neighbors nearby to know about it."
Hui Niang smiled proudly: "I asked them to say that you were married here in the Yao family." After all, the Su family's eldest sister-in-law was interested in her sister-in-law, and the neighbors of the Su family knew it. That time Huiniang went home to pick her sister up to live with Yao's family, but there was a big fuss at home before Yaoniang was taken out.
Yao Niang was stunned on the spot.
Huiniang added: "As for the neighbors here at the Yao family, I went out to give out some wedding fruits a while ago, just to cheer you up. The wedding will naturally be held at the Su family, so there is no need to waste any words. "
In other words, Hui Niang gained a lot of wisdom from it. No one would pay too much attention to this matter. It is impossible for the neighbors of the Yao family to discuss Yao Niang's marriage with the neighbors of the Su family. After all, the two families are separated. It's quite far, spanning most of the county.
Looking at her slightly haggard sister under the light, Yao Niang couldn't help but blush and held her hand: "Sister——"
"Okay, okay, you're all a mother, don't act like a little girl." Madam Hui stroked her sister's temples and said so, she couldn't help but blush.
This is the only thing she can do for her miserable sister, so that when she comes back, she won't have to leave home with Xiaobao, but can appear openly in front of others.
Yao Niang sniffed and went to take out the bundle she brought back from the cabinet.
"These are all gifts given by the masters in the house when I came back. There are fabrics and jewelry..." Yao Niang turned the things out and said, "I took a look and found that the clothes and jewelry are all worn by my sister. These fabrics are left Let's make clothes for Brother Ming, Brother Hong, and my brother-in-law..."
"Whatever we need these for, you keep them. Since they are rewards for you, you keep them. You and Xiaobao can wear them in the future, or you can exchange them for money."
"Sister, if you and your brother-in-law say this, I will be embarrassed to face you. I have caused you so much trouble, and Xiaobao is still fostered by you..."
As soon as this is said, it is just the same old saying again, which has no other purpose than to make people sad. Hui Niang could only interrupt her, bow to her sister, and pick from the things Yao Niang brought back.

At the same time, in the west wing, Mrs. Li was also talking to Sister Yan, but they were all talking about Zhou Sheng.
