By the time they arrived at Xishangang, the sunset was half off, and the east sky was slightly darker, while the west side was flushed with red blood.
During this time, Xishangang became almost the most lively place on the outskirts of Wangdu. During the daytime, there has been a continuous flow of people, but it is already dusk, and the world avoids ghosts and gods. It is always dark in this cemetery. It's dark, so at this time, the people who came to worship the general generals had gone almost, leaving only Yangyang and the black crows. The crows of the rough Karma were rising and falling, and it sounded a little ridiculous.
A farmer who happened to pass by couldn't help but glanced at them, and saw that the young couple of Su Yi was not as beautiful as ordinary people. If they saw it on the outer street and in the restaurant on weekdays, the farmer would only appreciate it. But at this half-light and dark time, when it was near the cemetery of Xishangang, he made his heart burst.
This, this wouldn't be ... that thing, right?
It's not July to open the ghost gate, right?
The peasant ran quickly with a hoe, thinking that he still had to go home for a hot Erguotou, burn some wormwood, and go to Yin.
Xiao Yi and Nan Gongyun in front of them continued to go up the hill, but they did not know that they had scared an innocent passerby. Soon, they came to the top of the hill in Xishangang, but at a glance, they were both It was white, and the white paper money of the mountains was almost invincible.
Crunch, crunch ...
Foot on the white paper money, just like stepping on the thick white snow, makes a subtle sound, and in this quiet place, this subtle sound seems to be amplified several times.
When they stopped in front of Guan Ruyan's tombstone, there was only death-like silence covering the top of the mountain ...
For a while, none of the four people spoke, but their eyes were already flushed unconsciously.
Xiao Yi stared at Guan Ruyan's tombstone with a hesitation, and suddenly said, "This is Xiaobai Carved."
Guan Yubai's handwriting is not only recognized by Xiao Yi, but also by Nangong Yu and Bai Hui. After a careful look at Nangong, he gestured to Bai Hui, who immediately looked at the entire row of tombstones and nodded.
The tombstones in this row were engraved by Guan Yubai himself!
A picture emerged in the minds of the four people-a skinny white man sitting next to the tombstone engraved with his weak arm ...
Xiao Yi's fists didn't seem to hold tightly together.
I still remember that three years ago, the official language Bai Fuling returned to the capital and set up a spiritual hall in Anyihou. He went to the condolences. He wanted to see just what this young man who was once known as General Anyi was like. Praise, and befriend him again. When he went, he was a little provocative, but he didn't expect to see the other party as usual ...
Unconsciously, three years have passed, and they have become close friends without words, making him feel the pain of Guan Yubai as well.
Xiao Yi never confirmed like this moment that he was too weak, he needed strength, he needed more power.
He must be stronger to be fearless. He can't let his family, his friends, the people he cares about, because someone's fluttering words are instantly destroyed!
On this day, they stayed until dark before returning to the capital.
After sending Nangongyu back to the palace, Xiao Yi went out again, this time to find Guanyubai ...
Nan Gongxi returned to Fufeng Courtyard by himself, but before arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Xun, wearing a white fox fur cape, was approaching this side.
"My sister ..." Nangong Yan stopped and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile.
Xiao Xun quickly speeded up her steps, her mouth slightly raised, and said, "Da'er, you're back." With that, her gaze paused beside Nangong Xuan, and her brows frowned. The eldest brother went out with Dasao obviously, but why only Dasao came back alone?
Did the elder brother leave his uncle halfway and went somewhere else?
Thinking, Xiao Yan's brow frowned even tighter. Brother's work was still not safe enough! I should still mention him. ... but it's okay if your elder brother is away!
Nangong Yu didn't know what Xiao Yu was thinking about, took Xiao Yu's hand and went into Fufengyuan, and said, "Sister Xi, you are here. Come with me for dinner."
Xiao Yan certainly did.
The two simply took some dinner, and when the hot tea for digestion was delivered, Xiao Yan, who had endured for a long time, finally spoke earnestly: "Dao, can you play chess with me?"
She looked at Nangong Yan with anticipation, thinking: It ’s okay if the elder brother didn't come back. If he is here, chances are that he won't let her play chess with her!
However, since the eldest brother is leading the errand of Wucheng Bingmasi, he must not be in the house during the daytime, right? In that case, she and Dasao can continue to play together, as they did before!
Thinking about it, Xiao Yan is looking forward to it.
"Play chess?" What Nangong thought of, a few points in his eyes, but the chess the day before yesterday, right?
There was a trace of haggards on Xiao Yan's face, and his eyes stared at Nangong Yan.
Under such eyes, how could Nangong Nian refuse, he only nodded, and took Xiao Ao to his small study.
Bai Hui quickly set up a chessboard on a mahogany round table. Xiao Xun went over and placed the pieces one by one. It was exactly the day when Xiao Xun played half with Chen Chen at the hearth party the day before.
Chen Gong was holding Baizi that day, so Nangong Yan planned to sit down on Baizi's side, but listened to Xiao Yan's opening to stop and said, "Da'er, let me do Baizi." For two days, she had been thinking about this. In chess, Baizi always felt that there was still something to do.
Nangong Yan could not help laughing, and turned to the other side.
After the two of them sat down, Xiao Yan took hold of Bai Ziguo and fell ...
However, Nangong Yu is not ill, and sunspots have the advantage anyway. Moreover, for her, the game is a pastime, and she has no heart to win.
Next, the two stopped speaking, the room was quiet, only the sound of their breathing and the sound of falling off one after another ...
Pop, pop ...
I don't know how long it has been, the voice of maid salute rang in the room: "I've seen my grandfather."
Nangong suddenly turned back to look at the curtain, and a smile came out of her mouth: "Ai, you are back!"
Xiao Yan also turned to look at Xiao Yi, but with a look and reprimand in his eyes, as if to say: Why come back so late?
Xiao Yi keenly caught the reprimand in Xiao Yan's expression, but his understanding was: Why are you bothering us to play chess?
Xiao Yi stared back angrily, meaning: He returned to his own home, and could not tolerate her to set a beak! She's the one. It's so late, still staying in Da's house and not going back, is it decent?
The brothers and sisters quarreled with the eyes of the chickens and ducks in a few fingers ...
Although Nangong Yan, who was aside, didn't know what they were staring at like a cockfight, but also knew that it would never be a good thing, and sighed again in his heart: This brother and sister is really right, and no one will let his temper be estimated It is with the old lord ... Anyway, Nangong Yu will never think that they are the lord of Zhennan.
Lily was about to laugh kindly, and felt that she had watched a good show accidentally.
Although there were all kinds of dissatisfaction with Xiao Yi in his heart, Xiao Yan still knew the etiquette. Now it was too late, and it was really inappropriate for him to stay. She stood upright, stood up, gave a gift to Xiao Yi and Nangong, and said with a clear look: "Big brother, big sister, my son is going to leave first." After that, her lips slightly raised, and she added in a good mood. "Dasao, we will play chess again tomorrow."
As soon as Xiao Yan walked, Xiao Yi came over and sat down in Xiao Yuan's original position. He wanted to count Xiao Yan a few words, but when he got to his lips, he was distracted by the chess game.
Xiao Yan is white, Nangong Yan is black, and now Bai Zi has the upper hand, but ...
What a strange and strange look at this chess game. Although Xiao Yan has the upper hand now, Bai Zi seems to have gone awry in the early stage, and the sunspots are also weird. The local chess style is not like the smelly girl style ...
How did these two players play in order to play the game like this?
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu seemed to see his doubts, and then talked about the warming-up meeting of the Grand Princess Palace of Yongyang that day ...
Xiao Yi's gaze turned to the game again, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes, saying: "That is to say, this game was played after the blind game that day?" I did not expect Xiao Yan's blind game to be played back. Not bad ...
Thinking of the situation on that day, Nangong Yan felt very interesting, and smiled loudly with a frown.
Seeing that she smiled happily, Xiao Yi's heart was also tickling, holding her hand, the two walked out of the small study together and returned to the dining room. Xiao Yi took her to Luo Han's bed and kissed her on the pink cheek first. Then she said, "... After the Lantern Festival, we can start organizing things, so we can just dress lightly."
Nangong Gui nodded his head and said, "My dowry will be for the time being."
When she got married, her dowry was a hundred and twenty-eight. If she wanted to take it away, it would really be a hindrance.
Xiao Yi looked at her, speaking of the secret letter delivered by Uncle Xuan Ping. He heard Nangong stunned, and blinked, "It's too **** right ... the emperor really believes?"
"Xuanping Bo has always been beloved by the emperor, and he has the ability to speak kindly." Xiao Yi smiled, Tao Hua's eyes shone, "Xiao Bai really chooses people."
The choice of who to go to Baiyue is not to say casually, each step of Guanyubai has its own consideration.
In fact, not many people know the truth about the mutiny of the Baiyue Mutation. With Xuan Pingbo's disposition, the errand is not done, and it will only whitewash Taiping. As a result, the emperor is even less likely to know the truth.
"That's right." Xiao Yi remembered one thing and said, "In the case of Wangdu a few days ago, Xiaobai didn't think that the three princes had done it alone. The three princes should be someone's shield."
Nangong raised her eyebrows slightly and was surprised: "The three princes have been used? ... Who will be?" As soon as the voice fell, she asked herself, "The five princes have the identity of a sister-in-law. Now the situation is clear and there is no need to do This kind of hands and feet. And when the third prince falls down, the only two princes who can benefit ... the big prince and the second prince? "
Xiao Yi drew a "two" character, "Xiao Bai said that in all likelihood it was this one."
The second prince ... Han Lingguan.
Looking back at the last life, the five princes were poisoned early. At the time, all doubts pointed to the second prince. The queen was grieving. Regardless, he hit the second prince desperately. In the end, I did not know whether it was accident or artificial. In this life ... The five princes have survived, but they have changed a lot along the way?
Xiao Yi did not want to see her toil, and kissed him secretly, saying, "Let's wait and see for a while and talk about it later."
Nangong leaned against him and nodded slightly.
In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Yi went out after breakfast. He planned to go to Pei Mansion first, call out Pei Yuanchen, and go to Guiyuan Pavilion for a drink.
After finishing the trivial matters of Nakamura, Nangong Yu returned to Fufengyuan's own house.
She winked at Bai Hui, and immediately nodded her understanding, and retired a few girls, leaving only Nangongyu, Bai Hui and Lily in the room.
"Lily, come here, I have something for you." Nangong Ai waved at Lily, and Lily walked over in a fog.
Nangong Yu took a list from the box on the dresser and gave it to Lily.
Lily Fox blinked suspiciously, only one glance, then stared in surprise.
this is……
She glanced at Nangong Yan and Bai Hui, and there was a faint blush on Qiao's face.
It turned out that this list was a dowry list, which listed the house, fields, jewelry, cloth, and utensils prepared for her ... It was extremely comprehensive, and these things could not be done without one or two thousand dollars. .
"Shi Zifei ..." Lily whispered in a little flattering, "This is too much." As far as she knew, Yimei had not married that much for the first time.
"Relax." Nangong looked at her with a smirk, as if guessing what she was thinking, "I have made up your sister Yimei yesterday." After a pause, she said, "After When your cousin gets married, there will be so many ... No, maybe more than you, don't be jealous! "
Lily was teased accidentally, her mind calmed down again, and said with a smile: "Second concubine, slaves are not jealous. Even if you double your cousin's dowry, slaves are not jealous!"
After seeing Lily, she turned blushing and heartbeat, and she was full of dowry. Bai Hui shook her head helplessly.
Nangong Yan said: "Lily, you will get married in a few days. Don't be on duty these days, go back and get married."
"No need, concubine." Lily disagreed. "Slavery stays at home and it's okay ..." Then she thought of something, blinked mischievously, "How about you leave your cousin a few days off? Let's She'll help Minuo Zhang Luo. "
This girl ... Nangong Yan and Bai Hui stared at each other with a smile.
In laughter, Grandma came into the room, and whispered: "Second concubine, Grandma Han is here!" Grandma Han said in her mouth is actually Jiang Yixi.
In the friendship between Nangong Gong and Jiang Yixi, Nangong Gong did not deliberately go to the flower hall to meet guests, and instructed the child to bring Jiang Yixi directly.
Jiang Yixi's face was a little dignified. As soon as Nangong Ai looked at her, she knew that something was wrong, and she waved the girls.
"Sister Xi, but what happened?" Nangong Ai asked with interest, thinking to herself: What kind of moth did Princess Qi make?
Jiang Yixi really couldn't say that this matter had nothing to do with Princess Qi, although the creator of the figurine really could not be regarded as Princess Qi, and Princess Qi was just following the trend.
After Jiang Yixi settled down, he reluctantly smiled and said, "Sister Xi, I wonder if you know Mrs. Gong, the wife of the general soldier in Xuzhou Town, Jiangnan?"
Mrs. Gong? Nangong Yan blinked and shook his head in a fog, wondering why Jiang Yixi suddenly raised the person.
There was a flash of coldness in Jiang Yixi's eyes, and he smiled and said with a smile: "In recent days, Mrs. Gong is a big celebrity of the capital, and she is sending her righteous daughters in various places everywhere. A few days ago, she also sent one Wangfu ... "
Could it be that Nangong Yu guessed it, basically thinking about the temperament of Princess Qi, you probably know how this happened.
Jiang Yixi nodded and said, "Yeah, the mother-in-law took the Gong girl and sent it to our yard, and she said with a grand voice that she would help the Han family open their leaves ..." She had already recognized herself Ziyi was in trouble, she didn't care, Han Huaijun didn't care, and Qi Qi always wanted to raise it intentionally or unintentionally.
"The right lady?" Nangong Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, her voice couldn't hear the emotion, "This is very interesting."
Such "righteous women" who can be sent everywhere are really rare.
Nangong Yan looked at Jiang Yixi and asked, "Sister Xi, what about that person?"
"Keep it." Jiang Yixi didn't care, thought for a moment, and raised the corner of his lips slightly. "Although I don't know what Gongbing is jumping up and down, what is happening, but it happened to the king a few days ago, don't Not to mention, His Royal Highness Three are still banned until now, and the emperor's heart must be annoyed. If President Gong Bing did so, even if he had only one point, he would probably be ten in the end .... I will wait until At that time, the father and princess came in person and asked me to go back to Gong. I wouldn't be able to return it casually. "
Jiang Yixi smiled slightly, looking relaxed.
Seeing her thoughts so transparent, Nangong Yu also felt relieved, and couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Jiang Yixi hesitated for a while and continued: "Sister Sister, I came to see you today and wanted to remind you that your family Ai Yi has been favored by the emperor recently, so I wondered, maybe the Gong family would also go Here you send a beautiful and charming girl. "
Nangong smiled and was about to speak. He listened to Jiang Yixi in a profound way and said: "Sister Sister, don't look at our woman in the backyard all day, but the man who can be the master in the backyard is always a man. If a man changes his heart, and It's not that we can be saved by crying. But if a man can treat us wholeheartedly, it's just an extra bowl of rice to raise a 'subordinate'. "
Just because Han Huaijun didn't care about the "Gong Girl" and would not have any intimacy with her, so for Jiang Yixi, she could not care about it.
Jiang Yixi is a real girl carefully raised by the noble family, and has a good knowledge of the back house. If she is not married to Han Huaijun, she wo n’t even care if her husband has a roommate. By contrast, she is more worried about Nangongyuan, because she knows that the second house of Nangong ’s family does not have a waitress. When people sent it, Nangong Yan could not get angry and ran away with Xiao Yi. No matter how deep the relationship between the husband and wife will be gradually eroded by unexplained rudeness.
In Jiang Yixi's view, Xiao Yi has a deep affection for Nangong's love, and will definitely look at other women like Han Huaijun, and since they are so, they can wait for the Gong family to be unlucky.
Nangong Yu naturally understood her meaning. If such words were not like sisters, would Jiang Yixi come over and talk to her heartily.
She couldn't help but smile, nodding her head and saying, "I understand, thank Sister Xi for reminding me."
Jiang Yixi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Nan Gongxi looked at Jiang Yixi with a bit of perseverance. In the capital, she still had too many people who could not let go, but it was imperative to return to southern Xinjiang.
For a moment, Nangong Yan's eyes flashed a complex touch, but immediately he smiled casually, and said, "Sister Xi, you are rare to come to me, but you have to go for lunch ..."
Jiang Yixi responded with a smile, and said, "I heard that your girl named Lily is about to marry. Call her over and I will give her makeup."
"That relationship is good, Lily must be broken!"
Nan Gongxi and Jiang Yixi talked and laughed happily. At this moment, Xiao Yi, Pei Yuanchen and Cheng Luo have already arrived at Guiyuan Pavilion.
Yesterday Li Chengen's excuse refused their invitation. How did Xiao Yi not see the other side's unavoidable attitude, he was not a patience, since Li Chengen saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, he was not necessary. Don't hesitate, otherwise this good wine will be wasted.
Xiao Yi helped Pei Yuanchen, who had inconvenient legs, went upstairs. As soon as he took the seat, Cheng Luo actively bowed to the two future brothers-in-law: "Big brother-in-law, big brother, my younger brother will do it in honor today, and please invite two Brother-in-law is not eager to advise. "
Cheng Luo even drank two cups, and politely filled both Xiao Yi and Pei Yuanchen with wine. Although attentive but not charming, people did not feel sick.
After Cheng Luo was seated, he still felt a little bit fluttering in his heart, not very real. Are you really going to be your brother-in-law?
The three were talking while they were drinking. When the wine was going on, two knocks outside the seat suddenly sounded, followed by Xiao Er, and he asked in a respectful voice: "Guest, a guest said that he knew you. You see ... "Gui Yuan Ge can be loved by these king ministers and brother-in-law in the capital of the king. It still has its own uniqueness. It is not only good for the environment, food and drinks, but also not to let guests be disturbed by idlers, etc. .
Xiao Yi raised a brow, and before speaking, listened to Cheng Luo with a cheerful smile: "Since you are friends, please come in and have a drink."
Xiao Er promised, and retreated. Within a short while, he brought a middle-aged man in his 50s, and behind him were three young girls in a pink dress. He is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful and charming appearance.
Cheng Luo originally thought that visitors should be drinking and playing with them on weekdays, but he did not expect to be an old man who did not know him.
Since he doesn't know him, the other party is obviously coming at Xiao Yi or Pei Yuanchen.
Cheng Luo looked at the two intuitively, Xiao Yiman smiled casually, and said, "Isn't this General Gong Bing? This is really 'Qiao'?" He deliberately accentuated the word "Qiao" and played it casually Holding a white porcelain wine glass.
General Gong? It turns out that this is Gong Bing!
Pei Yuanchen also thought about it, squinting slightly thoughtfully. Recently, the general soldier Gong Yuhai of Xuzhou Town, Jiangnan, and his wife sending the righteous woman everywhere have gradually spread ... This kind of thing is not justified by reason What a glorious thing, so some of the mansions where the righteous daughters are collected are hiding, but there are also some mansions that take this as a romantic matter.
The general manager Gong went to Guiyuan Pavilion to find them, and brought three young girls with him.
Pei Yuanchen and Xiao Yi quickly exchanged a knowing look.
Gong Ruhai naturally heard the meaning in Xiao Yi's tone, but he didn't care, he arched at the three of them: "Xiao Shizi, Pei Shizi, Cheng Sigong, it is a coincidence." He smiled with a double triangle. His eyes narrowed, and in a familiar tone, "The old man happened to bring some righteous daughters to Guiyuan Pavilion to drink today. I didn't expect to meet three of them."
Upon hearing that these three girls were indeed the "righteous daughter" in the rumor, Pei Yuanchen was already aware of it.
He was thinking about killing the general manager Gong, but he didn't want the thicker-skinned Gong Ruhai than he thought. He actually opened the door and went straight to the topic: "Xiao Shizi, Pei Shizi, Cheng Sigong, and the husband. Although the female is not a boudoir, it is also a small family of jade, but it ’s a pity that her life was miserable, and the family was inferior. When they looked at them poorly, they adopted them. They were raised like pearls and jade. The three have long admired Xiao Shizi, Pei Shizi and Cheng Sigong. The girl is outgoing and the old man wants to complete them ... "
