After the carriage went out of the city, Xiao Yi excused himself and did not want to entertain some ignorant people, and simply hid in the carriage.
The poor Baihui and Lily two sisters were ejected naturally. Lily went to ride Xiao Yi's horse, and Baihui simply sat in front of the carriage side by side with the driver Zhou Dacheng.
In the carriage, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi were sitting by the window, and while talking, they lifted the curtains and looked at the suburban scenery.
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed with a smile, and her corners of the mouth were raised high. Xiao Yi also found that she was in a good mood. When Nangong Yue was really happy, her eyes would shine as brightly as now.
Xiao Yi thought with pride: No one would understand his stinky girl like himself? Even if there was a slight change in the face of the stinky girl, he could be keenly aware of the slight change in her mood!
Xiao Yi held Nangong Yue's hand and smiled and said: "Smelly girl, if you like to go out, now I'm back, we can come out and play often. Do you have any places you want to go?" After returning, they have not met with Yuan Lingbai. Maybe a few days later, they can make an appointment with Brother Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai. They come out and have fun.
Nangong Yue smiled, leaning his head on his shoulder and frowning and said: "If I want to go to Xijiang? I have seen it in "Dayu Kyushu" before, I heard that Xijiang in Xijiang The scenery of the plateau is peculiar. The people there are crowded in the cave, which is quite spectacular. Would you like to accompany me?"
"You want to go, of course, no problem." Xiao Yi responded in a hurry. "I'll take you wherever you want. We can walk through the mountains and rivers of Dayu together. Whether it's west or north, we can go outside. , Go to Nanyang, go to many places!" Xiao Yi never felt that a woman could only stay in the small square of the house, he would take her away from the small place of Wangdu, the sea, the sky, and the gallop.
The smile on Nangong Yue's face was full of points, and she couldn't help showing a longing.
Xiao Yi took Nangong Yue's hand and said seriously: "So, stinky girl, you must raise your body well! Let's live together for a hundred years!" As he spoke, he saw a kind of burial deep in his eyes. Fear, his biological mother, his grandfather, and those who loved him all left him early. What about the smelly girl? Will the smelly girl also...
Nangong Yue also felt the change in his expression and tone, and said with a smile: "I am a hundred years old, I don't want to be an old monster!" She lifted her small chin, pretending to consider, "80 years old, Ayi, let's live to be 80 years old together!"
Xiao Yi took her in her arms for a while, and then there was a vague and choked word above her head: "Smelly girl, I will try to live one day longer than you."
"it is good."
The car was quiet, and the two were snuggling with each other.
I don't know how long after that, Lily's joyful voice came from outside: "Shi Zi Ye, Shi Zi Fei, Liu He Zhuang arrived."
As the speed of the car slowed down, Nangong Yue opened the curtain and looked out.
She has been to Liuhezhuang for the first time in the autumn and winter season, and it is the first time when everything is recovering in the spring. The outside is green, the flowers are scented, and the clear river is sparkling in the warm sunshine. Wavelight...it seems to be another very different place.
After the carriage stopped, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue went underground one after another.The accompanying Zhu Xing, Ren Zinan, Chu David and others also dismounted.
Feng Guanshi has brought a lot of Zhuangzi's descendants, and dozens of disabled veterans are waiting there. The team seems to be very large. All eyes are concentrated on Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, of course, more is Xiao Yi.It was the first time for the dozens of veterans to see Xiao Yi, and he couldn't help but look at him... and even wanted to find the shadow of the southern king of the old town from him.
It is a pity that Xiao Yi's appearance is very different from that rugged, dark old town of Nanwang, and he can't even find a shadow.
Feng Guanshi was about to go forward to salute, but heard a sharp cry from a child behind him: "Come! Shi Zi Ye, Shi Zi Fei is coming!"
Looking at it soundly, I saw a boy of six or seven years old running away in the direction of the village. While running, he shouted with his throat, and in the blink of an eye, he attracted many farmers in the field and villagers towards the village. Looking over here, some of them can't wait to run, wanting to see how the grandfather Xiao Yi looks like.
This trouble broke the originally stiff atmosphere.
Feng Guanshi suddenly embarrassed and said: "Let Shi Ziye and Shi Zifei smile."
The veterans behind him knelt down on one knee and bowed to Xiao Yi as a military salute: "I have seen Shi Zi Ye and Shi Zi Fei."
Although they are old and their hoarseness can no longer be concealed in their voices, at the moment when their voices overlap so neatly, they look so loud, and the rigor and murderous spirit of being a soldier is released in an instant, letting The viewers were all sullen and could not help but get serious.
Due to the previous management of cattle, the veterans felt a bit complicated about this Shiziye, but no matter what kind of person Shiziye is, at least this time he led the army to drive the nasty Nanman out of Dayu. In the territory, the previous lost city was recaptured, and even more people who died under the Nan Manzi revenge. From these points of view, Shiziye accepts their rituals anyway.
"Exempt from courtesy." Xiao Yi stepped up a few steps and helped one person up. The other veterans then got up one after another. Ren Zinan also followed up with a veteran with inconvenience.
"Old Chu! Alan!"
The veterans saw that Chu Dawei and Ren Zinan, father and son, who were reunited for a long time, were very affectionate and went around to talk.
Even if David Chu and Ren Zinan didn't say anything, they all saw that the father and son should be doing well in the palace, not to mention the clothes and clothes are better than before, just look at their spirited appearance, especially Ren Zinan In the past, when I was in Liuhezhuang, I always felt that I was less angry with young people, as if I followed their old guys into old age early... And now Ren Zinan is considered to have the spirit of young people.
This young man, really can't be with their old guys all day long.
Looking at Ren Zinan now, even the always serious Lao Min's mouth twitched a smile.
"Go in and speak." Xiao Yi said, everyone gathered around him and Nangong Yue entered Zhuangzi.
After everyone entered the main hall under the guidance of Feng Guanshi, the main hall that was not big was crowded. The original chair in the main hall was not enough for them to sit, and Feng Guanshi hurriedly ordered a lot of stools.
After they were seated one by one in the main hall, the atmosphere became awkward and quiet, and finally Nangong Yue said with a smile: "I am busy during this time, and I have no time to come and see again. Can everyone still get used to it?"
"Habit! Very accustomed!" A tall veteran grumbled, looking at him in his early fifties, his face glowed with red light. If he lacked his left hand, it looked like an ordinary farmer.
"Of course he is used to it." Another veteran next to him couldn't help making fun. "He just married his wife after the Chinese New Year. Now he's not happy about it. Even if he is sent back to southern Xinjiang, he won't go back."
All the veterans in the room laughed, but everyone was happy, obviously they were really happy for the same robe.
Feng Guanshi explained it in a low voice.Nangong Yue only knew that the veteran was Ye Shi. Last year, the family of widow Liu in the village next to him hired him to help build the house. Look right.The Liu Widow's son had already married and had no objection, so they became married after the New Year.
"This is a happy event." Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes with a smile. "Feng Guanshi, you should tell me earlier. I am also happy to send a gift." I am also happy for this veteran named Ye Shi. It really counts as a home in Liuhezhuang. For these disabled veterans like duckweed, this is probably the greatest happiness in life.
"No, you don't have to..." Ye Shi waved his hand in a hurry, somewhat helpless. "Secretary of the world, Princess of the world, you two have done enough for us old guys!" Neither of them are greedy people. Originally, I only hoped that I could spend the rest of my life steadily and safely, and it would be an unexpected surprise to settle down here in Liuhezhuang.
Xiao Yi suddenly smiled and interjected: "So, I am also a matchmaker! I should ask you for a matchmaker gift!"
Everyone in the hall didn't expect Xiao Yi to say such a thing. After a moment of silence in the hall, Ye Shi laughed for the first time: "The grandfather of the world said that my mother-in-law made a very good wine. I will take a few altars later. To give Shiziye a try."
Another veteran bravely echoed the sentence: "This sentence Lao Ye is right. The wine made by sister-in-law is really wonderful!"
When they talked about wine, these people broke their throats and started talking. Later, everyone talked about their own situation... From the words you said to me, Nangong Yue learned that these veterans are now living well. Extremely, help villagers build houses for a while; help Zhuangzi repair channels for a while; help villagers plowing for a while; diversion rivers to irrigate the halogen ground of mountains after a while...
Braised land! Nangong Yue thought of the saline-alkali land in the back hill of the village, and asked in a blurry way: "That braised land has been irrigated?"
Feng Guanshi hurriedly told: "Yes, Princess of the World. The channel was repaired last month, and the river in front was brought in to irrigate the brackish land a few days ago. Unfortunately, we are plowing a year in the north, and we can't keep up with the spring cultivation this year.
Ye Shi interjected: "Although spring cultivation can't catch up, you can still grow some vegetables or something."
Xiao Yi naturally also heard Nangong Yue mentioned this matter of the ground, but at this time he was interested and said: "Let’s go to Houshan to see it together."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone responded, so they went back together.
So many of them went through the village, and naturally attracted many villagers to join the team, but these people naturally did not look at the back of the mountain, but to watch Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue didn't care about other people's eyes. Both were at ease. Xiao Yi even held Nangong Yue's hand in front of everyone and went towards the back mountain together, biting her ears from time to time, smiling at each other. .
For a time, the village women and little girls who followed were whispering and screaming envy in their eyes.The grandfather and the princess of the world not only looked good like the people in the painting, but the relationship was so good, it was like a pair of gods. Lover-like.
Through the village, it was suddenly bright, and a large area of reclaimed fields came into their eyes.
This place that was once called "Houshan Wasteland" is now very different. When Nangong Yue last came here last year, only half of the land was reclaimed, covered with a crystal of white flowers and flowers. It is now after spring. After irrigation of the river water, the original color of the soil has been revealed.
Nangong Yue can almost imagine that by the spring of the following year, this land will be filled with seedlings and full of greenery... In the autumn harvest, it will turn into a golden ocean.
After returning from Houshan, Xiao Yi called Lao Min alone and asked him about the letter.
"This was handed over to me three years before the death of the old prince, let me take care of it." Lao Min recalled, "Since then, this letter has not left my side." He paused, some Embarrassedly said, "Senior prince, in the past few years, I heard that you are useless and wanton. I once thought that this letter from the old prince will never be seen again. But I did not expect that you have suffered so much. The old prince is still alive, it will certainly be very distressed."
Xiao Yi's eyes were dim, but then he smiled freely, "If my grandfather is alive, I'm afraid I'm too useless to be angry. I was coaxed by people casually, leaving only countless infamy. ...Your business, yes I am oversight."
"Shiziye." Lao Min said sincerely, "You have a good wife."
If it wasn't for Princess Shizi, I'm afraid they would hate Shiziye when they died, and mistakenly regard Princess Ji as a good person.
If it weren't for the concubine, it would be impossible to wash the notoriety of the concubine.
If it weren't for the concubine, their veterans would not have a good day now.
Xiao Yi was complacent and said of course: "Of course! She is better than anyone!" There was no slight hesitation in the tone.
Lao Min couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Lao Wang Ye will be very happy."
Xiao Yi showed a hint of nostalgia.
Until the age of six, Xiao Yi lived with his grandfather, learning writing, martial arts, and military methods... and listening to Lao Min, the grandfather gave the letter to Lao Min when he was three years old. Those industries are said to have passed under his name after that.
Xiao Yi was puzzled. When he was three years old, what had happened would make his grandfather so determined...
On the way back to Wangdu, Xiao Yi told Nangong Yue about the content of the conversation with Lao Min, and finally expressed the merits: "Smelly girl, even if Lao Min doesn't say, I know you are the best Yes! I like you the most!"
Nangong Yue collapsed without his cheeky face and was blushed by the phrase "favorite". The shame on his face caused Xiao Yi to rumble and could not help but steal a kiss quickly.
At the same time, the news that the Nanman envoys entered the king capital has also spread, and the king is discussing this topic from top to bottom.
The news of this storytelling stand was the most sensitive. The storyteller talked about the summation of the king of the Nanman king and his envoys.
Obviously, the storyteller has never been to Nanman, nor has he seen the Nanman king, but he vividly talked about how the Nanman king invited the ministers to discuss, and how he chose the envoy to bring several beautiful women to the king. As if he had seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.
When the envoy entered the capital of the king, the storyteller stopped abruptly, knocking on the gavel to make everyone wait for the next decomposition.
"It's over?!" a middle-aged woman who was nibbling on melon seeds yelled, "This is the key point, why is it over? Liu Sanzui, you shouldn't wait to be so fool! I am a flower For money."
The storyteller Liu Sanzui touched Ba Zihu in a mysterious way, and said: "Hey, I want to know the next time, I don't know if I come back tomorrow?"
The middle-aged woman was about to continue screaming, and a middle-aged man wearing short beating could not help but exposing Liu Sanzui's old bottom: "This elder sister, don't listen to him blowing it. Isn't it broken down next time? ?I heard a brother who was guarding the city gate said that this king who only entered yesterday, the envoy of Nanman, has not even seen the emperor's face yet!"
Another young man sighed in amusement: "I guess our emperor will definitely dry this embassy."
"That's it," the middle-aged man echoed. "This damn Nanman has heard that it has even slaughtered me in several cities in Dayu. There are at least tens of thousands of people who have been wronged! Now he is beaten by the king of Zhennan. Just like the dog of the bereavement family, I realized that I want to make a sum!"
"You should let the damn Nanbari cede the land to pay compensation, and the tribute is every year!"
"Humph, I think it's cheaper for them!"
"Look at me, ... I have to let the princess and the pro!" The fat man shouted with a throat at the thought of the princess of Dayu who had to kiss Xirong.This time it was their turn to show their majesty!
He said that the black and thin young man next to him pointedly pushed him with his elbow, "Isn't it heard that Nanban sent their saints?...I still listen to the king of Zhennan The saint was locked in a prison car and transported into the capital!"
"No?" the fat man said in disbelief. "It's not that the saint's country is heavenly, the country is all over the city, and the king of Zhennan doesn't know how to pity the fragrance!"
The middle-aged woman pouted her lips in disapproval: "What's the use of being pretty? Not a Nanban man! I heard, they all have body odor!"
These listeners said it was not hilarious, Liu Sanzui smiled triumphantly. He was worried that the Nanban envoy stayed in the Wangdu for as long as possible. He also borrowed money from this small stall to make money.
In the eyes of the king and the upper and lower eyes, the emperor finally made up his mind the next day: three days later, a palace banquet was held in the palace, feasting the civil and military officials and women who had deceased.At the same time, the emperor Nannan also entered the palace to attend the palace banquet. .
The purpose of the emperor's move was clear at a glance. The palace banquet was like a celebration feast to the officials of Dayu, but it was a deterrent to the envoy of the Nanman.
The emperor's decree naturally spread to the palace of Zhennan.
After sending away the palace people, Nangong Yue only felt a headache. When she went to the palace banquet, she had to wear big makeup. The most troublesome thing was that they had to go. After all, Xiao Yi was one of the protagonists of the palace banquet.
Queer walked into Wushoutang and asked, "Is Princess Shizi still going to Huayan today?"
"Go, why don't you go?" Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows. The palace banquet was not today, so why should it affect today's scheduled itinerary.
"Yes, Princess of the World. The slave-maid went down to prepare the carriage." Queer retreated after saluting.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Smelly girl, are you going out today?"
Nangong Yue said with a grin: "Don't I tell you a few days ago that I want to sell my two shops in Wangdu? Yesterday, I made an appointment with the Chinese to visit "Hua Yan" today. I will have it before lunch Come back."
When it comes to selling the shop, Xiao Yi is excited.When he sells the shop, he can rely on the smelly girl to raise it.
"I'll go with you!" Xiao Yi said enthusiastically, his eyes shining brightly.
Nangong Yue naturally agreed.
Neither of them likes to be a teacher with a lot of enthusiasm, so after casually reorganizing the whole line, he left from the palace of Zhennan half an hour later.
"Hua Yan" is not too far away from the Wang Mansion. When they arrived there, it was not yet a long time. There was still a scent of incense from the time agreed with the Chinese.
As soon as Yimei heard that Nangong Yue was coming, he quickly put down the matter at hand and came out to meet him personally, but he didn't want Xiao Yi to come too. There was an accident in his eyes, and he saluted to the two of them: "I have seen Shi Zi Ye and Shi Zi Fei. "
Today, they came here as plain clothes. If it is on weekdays, Nangong Yue would make Yimei too particular about the etiquette, but since her princess concubine in the south of the town was so desperate that she wanted to sell a dowry, it should be convenient for her to show her dew points.
Sure enough, Yimei's movement suddenly attracted a few strange looks around him.
Yimei respectfully greeted Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi into the inner room, which was a bit messy, and many books were placed on the desks and chairs.
"Shiziye, Princess Shizi, there is some chaos here, don't be surprised." Yimei asked Xiao Yi and Nangongyue to sit down with embarrassment.
Nangong Yue wants to invite the Chinese to see the "flower face". Only Yimei knows this shop.This play is naturally to complete a full set, since the shop is to be sold, Yimei simply pretends to organize the "Hua Yan" books.
Nangong Yue didn't take it seriously and waved her hand casually, "It's okay, just sit somewhere."
Yimei quickly ordered tea and snacks, and Nangong Yue took a sip of the tea. The lily, who was originally outside, also entered the inner room at this time, and he said: "Father of the world, Ye girl begs to see." After the break, she busy added, "That is the girl from Huaiyuan County."
What happened in Liuhezhuang, Huaiyuan County and Bailinzhuang, Nangongyue told Xiao Yi one by one, so when hearing Huaiyuan County, Xiao Yi also knew which girl Ye was.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Let her come in."
Soon, Lily led Ye Yili in. I saw that she did not apply a little powder, her face was white and clean, her skin was delicate, and she had a plain blue dress with only two Chunlan silk flowers on her head. On his body, it seems that there is no elegant, elegant temperament.
As soon as she entered the room, she quickly scanned a circle in the room, her eyes fixed on Xiao Yi, and her dark eyes showed surprise, but she quickly bowed her head slightly and lowered her eyebrows forward. Blessing Road said: "I have seen Shi Zi Ye and Shi Zi Princess."
Although she was the first time to see the king of Zhennan Shizi, she also heard from the "Hua Yan" people about their description of the grandfather, plus the ability to sit side by side with the princess Shizi There should be only the eldest brother of Shiziye and Shizifei.
Xiao Yi's appearance is naturally good, but there is no similarity with Nangong Yue, so Ye Yili has almost ten percent in his heart that the young man in front of him is Xiao Yi, the king of Zhennan.
After figuring it out, Ye Yili was a little annoyed.She pursed her lips and hurriedly explained, "Concubine Shizi, Min Nu heard that you are here, and came to please you." Just now, she accidentally heard from a helper in the shop that Nangong Yue came, and hurried over. Please please, but you don’t want Shizi to come.
Speaking of which, her behavior was still somewhat audacious, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.
Nangong Yue also saw some clues from Ye Yili's behavior, and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, you don't have to be cautious, sit down."
After Ye Yili sat down, Nangong Yue said again: "Miss Ye, what are you doing here?"
"Habit, of course, habit." Ye Yili was sitting on the edge of his shoulders, looking at Nangong Yue without squinting, and replied congratulately, "Secretary of the Emperor Shizi, the Numin girl here is under the care of Sister Yimei. Well, my elder brother has gradually recovered..." She looked at Nangong Yue gratefully. "Concubine Shizi, in fact, even if Princess Shizi doesn't come today, the female daughter would like to go to the royal palace to see the Princess Shien."
"Miss Ye, you are too kind..."
Before Nangong Yue finished, Queer came to the inner room with a curtain, and looked at Ye Yili with some surprise. He said, "The Princess of the World, the man is here."
Middleman? Ye Yili was stunned. The first reaction was, why did Nangong Yue need to invite the middleman to "Hua Yan"? As far as she knows, the staff in the shop is just right now, and there should be no need to hire helpers for the time being.Could it be that……
Suddenly thinking of a certain possibility, Xiu frowned slightly, and gave Nangong Yue a quick look.
She was a little uneasy in her heart, but she stood up decisively and blessed her body and said, "Since the concubine of the prince is in trouble, the people will retreat first."
Nangong Yue naturally did not retain her.
After Ye Yili withdrew, Nangong Yue stood up and planned to go to see the middle man with Queer.Xiao Yi also got up, but was blocked by Nangong Yue: "Are you waiting for me here?"
Seeing Xiao Yi's disappointment, she smiled and said: "It's too late!"
Xiao Yi sat down grievously.
Nangong Yue and Queer went to meet the middle man in front of him. The middle man was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was dressed in honey and gold all over the ground. Her body was slightly plump and her chubby face looked very much. It is kind, but in his eyes reveals a hint of light, obviously a shrewd person.
Upon seeing Nangong Yue coming out, the Chinese knew that the little lady was either rich or expensive. Although she didn't count on dressing, or even deliberately low-key, that person's demeanor could not deceive people.
In fact, the Chinese have always been suspicious of the fact that the concubine of the king of the south of Zhennan is going to sell a dowry shop.How to say the concubine is also the daughter-in-law of the Nangong Palace, the emperor of the emperor Yufeng, who is married to the king of Zhennan, and the ten-mile red makeup on the day of the marriage was discussed in Wangdu for a while.How could such a concubine be reduced to selling a dowry shop?
There was even a moment in the heart of the Chinese who once doubted whether the servant slave of the prince was a big bully who secretly sold the dowry without the prince, but it would be fine to think about it. There is no reason not to do business, so come here Too.
Until now she saw Nangong Yue, she knew that this must be the Lord.
It turns out that the Princess of the King of South China really wants to sell a dowry shop! This is big news!
I just heard that Shiziye is here too. Where are people now?
The middle man stretched his neck eagerly and looked back, hoping that Shizi would show up as well.
It is a pity that there is no one behind, it seems that Shizi is not going to show up.
Also, it is so shameful to sell the dowry of the wife, do not hide it!
The man suppressed the excitement in his heart, and before waiting for Mager to introduce Nangong Yue, he slapped the veil flatteringly to meet him, and saluted the two with decent etiquette.
After a few people walked around in the shop, the middle man cleared his throat and asked with uncertainty: "Shizi, are you really planning to sell the shop?"
Queer raised his chin with his hands on his hips and said, "Aunt Liu, do you think we were happy to call you here today?"
"Of course not!" The man said nervously, "I just confirm it. Then...I don't know if Shizifei intends to sell this shop alone, or sell it together with the whole shop?" After a pause, she explained Road, "Sister Shizi, although your shop is in a good location, but if you only sell the shop, the price is not the same. But your "Hua Yan" has already made a name, if it is connected with the name of "Hua Yan"... …"
"Are you saying the formula with "Hua Yan"?" Queer interjected with a smile.This middleman is downright smart.
Nangong Yue showed a moment of hesitation...
The Chinese felt that there seemed to be a drama, and they were busy comparing a number: "Shizi, your "Hua Yan" is sold to this number, and even these people in your shop can receive them together." The Chinese said again and again. Some good words.
Finally, Queer pretended to look at Nangong Yue's face, and then said to the man: "Our prince concubine will have to think twice about this matter."
The middleman echoed, and said a few good words before reluctantly resigning under the hint of Queer. In fact, he was already somewhat impatient.
She must hurry to find a good sister to talk about this breaking news...
So, in just two days, the fact that Wang Shizi, the king of Zhennan, wanted to sell a dowry shop was quietly spread in Wangdu.
