615 Chapter 604

At the wind banquet, the plan was intertwined, and the women in the royal palace drank fragrant plum wine, used all the dishes, and talked from time to time. Yan Yan laughed and laughed.

The center of all the female dependents is naturally the palace concubine Nangong Yue.

It was already a lot of incense, and Aunt Mei, who was standing beside, twisted her body in an anxious manner.

The other aunts gave her an involuntary glance. This aunt Mei was sent in by Mrs. Qiao. Although she was in the name of serving his wife, everyone could know the real intention.

I thought that when my wife was not forbidden, they had to set a five-hour rule every day, but now it’s just a stick, they don’t believe she can’t stand it anymore, huh, just thinking Be petty and petite.

Aunt Mei adjusted her stance, held her forehead, and wobbled softly, as if she was about to fall at any time.

Every once in a while, she shook her body weakly, once, twice, three times... There were naturally girls on the table who also saw it, and secretly exchanged a look.

The table continued lively and lively. After half an hour, the girls removed the dishes on the table and served hot tea for the masters to eat.

Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then she turned to Wei Wei who was sitting on her left: "Wei Fang Fei, my mother has been entangled in a sickbed recently, so that the new aunt has been ignorant of the rules and it is not a system! Concubine Wei can only disturb you for a while. Let the new auntie go to your yard every day to set up a two-hour rule."

When Aunt Mei heard it, there was a trace of disbelief on Jiaohan's face, and she blurted out: "Concubine Shizi, I'm a king..."

"Bold." Queer scolded softly. "In front of Princess Shizi, the aunt should call herself'slave maid.' According to the rules of the royal palace, the auntie will pick up the five hands for a while."

Aunt Mei bit her lower lip, seeming very dissatisfied, even her eyes dimmed a bit, and looked pitiful.

Nangong Yue said slowly: "... Lao Fanwei's concubine appointed another educating grandmother in the past."

Wei's had long seen Aunt Mei's unruly frivolous appearance, but she had always been low-key, so she did not speak out.Since Princess Shizi proposed, she immediately owed her body and said: "What Princess Shizi said is that the concubine must teach the aunt Mei well, so as not to lose her face."

Nangong Yue nodded and said with a smile: "This tea duck is delicious today, but is there a new cook in Wangfu?"

Wei side princess smiled and catered: "You are right, Shizi princess..."

No one paid any attention to an aunt.

In this scene, everyone in the audience looked at it, and could not help but secretly say: Princess Shizi is worthy of being Princess Shizi, even if she is a very favored new aunt recently, she does not give a little face.

The wind-catching banquet ended peacefully.

After returning to the courtyard, Nangong Yue didn't want to move at all, and fell asleep a while later.

When Bai Hui and Thrush came to duty early in the morning, Nangong Yue was still awake. As soon as they saw them, An Niang's eyes lit up, and they quickly pulled them aside, lowering their voices and asking, "How are they?" Concerned about this matter, as soon as she came back yesterday, the two maids were sent away by Princess Shizi, and it was inconvenient for her to directly ask Princess Shi......

Just three words, no head, no brains, but Bai Hui understood it, and the thrush on the side also understood it, and there was a feixia on the face.

Bai Hui nodded as usual.

At this nod, An Niang suspended her heart in the air, bowed her hands together, and whispered in her mouth, "May you wish to protect the concubine as soon as possible!"

Since the marriage between Shiziye and Shizifei, An Niang has been holding her heart: At first, she was afraid of Shiziye’s young impulse and could not control herself. Shizifei was still young.Unexpectedly, Shiziye really had a heart and waited patiently for more than a year... until the concubine of Shizi finally came to an end, but the grandfather went out again, and the matter of the round room could only be put on hold.

Finally, this time, things are done!

Now, when the concubine of the world is born, you can be completely assured... No, you have to help take care of your grandchildren!

An Niang looked at Bai Hui and thrush, frowning.These maids are still too tender. How to know how to take care of small babies depends on yourself!

Seeing An Niang's complexion change in the flick, and finally ambitiously leaving, Bai Hui and Thrush could not help but looked at each other, and then laughed.

Although I don’t know what happened, it seems to be a good thing.

All this, Nangong Yue, who was still asleep, naturally did not know, she slept until the three poles of the sun.

After a few days of driving, I was riding horses and fighting with the Baiyue people, which made Nangong Yue's body and mind a bit tired, and my muscles were sore. I didn't feel much when I came back yesterday. After waking up all night, the aches in her body hit like wildly growing grass, making her completely unwilling to move.

After struggling in the bed with a stick of incense, Nangong Yue rustled and rang the small brass bell beside the bed.

The door opened, and the girls who were waiting outside early in the morning swarmed in and waited for her to get up and wash.

Having hurriedly used breakfast, Nangong Yue asked Queer to fetch the roster of the people from the palace and took Baihui to Yuge.

The little maid diligently led her to the East Time, and when Grandpa Fang saw her coming, she quickly put down the newly acquired stone in the book and waved to her, saying, "Ayue, come, come and sit."

Although the winter in southern Xinjiang is much better than that of Wang, Grandpa Fang, after all, is old and weak, and a pot of charcoal has been burned in the house, which is warm.

Nangong Yue asked Ann with a smile.

Grandpa Fang looked at Nangong Yue up and down, and a wrinkled face squeezed out a smile line, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "A Yue, you are so tired after a boat trip, you are all thin, then you can take care of yourself. . Go back and take a rest for a while, the trivial things in the palace are not busy, don’t be tired of yourself..."

The old man's feelings warmed Nangong Yue's heart. In this royal palace, perhaps only the old grandmother Fang can make her feel the kindness of this elder to the younger generation.

"Thank you grandma for your concern, I know." Nangong Yue sat down next to Mrs. Fang.

Nangong Yue just asked for security yesterday, and was rushed back to rest by Mrs. Fang Tai, and did not talk to him about Yanding City.However, she knew that Grandpa Fang must also be very concerned about it, so she smiled and took the initiative to say: "Grandfather, can you know about Ai's victory?"

"Know!"

Speaking of which, Grandpa Fang laughed even more.

Nangong Yue told Zhu Xing before leaving, and immediately reported to Mrs. Fang every time there was a good news. So, even though Mr. Fang did not leave the house, he was very clear about the great victory in Yanding City. Several times.

"Maternal grandfather, you must not know how to hit it!" Nangong Yue's eyes looked like bright stars, "Ayi, he is so prestige..."

She said vividly about the battle of Yanding City. She talked about how Xiao Yi pretended to lead 20,000 troops to Yongjia City. She talked about how the Nanliang Army came to the city, but she was embarrassed and ran around. Instead, she was ambushed, and finally was ambushed by Xiao Yi. The army of the generals waited at ease and almost killed the entire army!

In order to make Grandpa Fang happy, Nangong Yue deliberately picked up Xiao Yi's part and said in detail how Xiao Yi was heroic, how Xiao Yi was good at fighting, how Xiao Yi was so motivated... It seemed that she was also witnessing herself on the battlefield at that time That scene looked like, in fact, even if she hadn't witnessed it, Xiao Yi happily showed it to her several times.

Grandpa Fang heard the brows and smiled, and the whole person seemed to be several years younger.

"It's good to kill! It's good to kill!" Although Mrs. Fang was old, his blood was not changed, and he patted his palm on the table. "It's time to kill all the Nanliang people who don't know how many people in southern Xinjiang have slaughtered us. !"

Looking at the old man's happy face, Nangong Yue's mouth was also rising, and his face was filled with a smile from the bottom of his heart.

Grandpa Fang excitedly asked her a lot about Yanding City, and Nangong Yue answered each one in detail.

Naturally, it is good news and no worry, only Xiao Yi's bravery is mentioned, but there is no mention of the big and small scars on his body.

Grandpa Fang was addicted, and his face was even deeper with wrinkles, and Yung Rong said in his mouth: "Okay, okay! If his mother concubine knew that Ayi was so capable now, It will also be very happy." The old lady Fang's face couldn't help being dark when she mentioned the daughter who died early.

Nangong Yueshun said: "In a while I will go to incense the mother concubine and tell her the good news." The concubine is the person who gave birth to Ai, although they can no longer be filial to her, but the incense incense, reported to her A peace should be.

Grandpa Fang nodded happily, he could not help but relieved a few points, and asked again: "Ayi is going to Yongjia City now?"

Nangong Yue smiled and nodded, not daring to mention that Xiao Yizheng led his soldiers to venture into Nanliang territory, only to say: "Now our army is dominant, even if Ikarao sticks to the Dengli City, as long as there is no food to keep up, sooner or later it will be boiled. Not going on. After this battle is over, Ai will be able to come back, and it will only take a month or two at most."

Grandpa Fang heard the brows and smiled, the grandson was coming back, maybe he will have a great grandson soon, this day really is better.

God made him lose his wife and daughter in his early years, and tortured for so many years, finally he did not treat him badly in his later years!

Nangong Yue continued to say, "...I will give Zhou's family a small ceremony in a few days, so I will come back first." At this point, her words changed, "?... Grandfather, I am on my way back , Got a piece of ore..."

She glanced at Bai Hui, who took out a thing wrapped in a blue veil from the purse and handed it to Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue unfolded the veil, revealing the gray ore in it, and sent it to Mrs. Fang: "I want you to help me palm your eyes..."

Before Nangong Yue's words were finished, Grandpa Fang looked at the piece of ore and blurted out, "This...is it a salt mine?" He said, he took the piece of ore in his hands and examined it again, then pulled it off with his nails A little bit of stone chips, put it on the tip of the tongue and tried it, and then nodded firmly, "This is indeed salt ore."

Salt mine!?

Nangong Yue suddenly realized.

Even in Dayu, salt is strictly controlled by the court, and salt tax is one of the main sources of taxation for households.The smuggling of salt is a death penalty, but the smuggling of salt is extremely profitable, or there is a steady stream of people who take risks, in order to be a rich country.

This is true of Dayu, not to mention Baiyue, which is located inland.

Baiyue does not depend on the sea on all sides. Even if there are lake salt, well salt and mineral salt, it is not as inexhaustible as sea salt.They lack salt, and the benefits of a salt mine are hard to estimate.

No wonder they have taken such a big risk to seize this salt mine of Fangjia, and have been mining for more than ten years in the name of Fangjia. Even now, they will not give up.

Grandpa Fang keenly felt that Nangong Yue's emotions were a bit wrong, and asked, "Ayue, what's wrong with this ore? ... Someone is holding you ore?"

Nangong Yue hesitated for a while and asked instead: "Maternal grandfather, can you still remember that Fang's family has a mine on Mount Sigral?"

Mount Sigley?

Grandpa Fang raised his eyebrows and thoughtfully plucked his beard. "... I remember ten years ago, it seemed that someone came back and forth and found a mineral vein in the area of ​​Mount Sigral. I remember that I was responsible Wu Guanshi of the mine hires some long-time workers to dig there to see if it is a poor mine or a rich mine."

There are many mines in Fangjia. If it is just a poor mine, Grandpa Fang will not look down upon it, and it is not worth spending manpower and material resources to mine.

After that, in the impression of Mrs. Fang, I never received the return from Mount Siglet. I thought the mine was too poor and worth mentioning.Grandpa Fang didn't manage it anymore.For Mr. Fang, who owns most of the mines in southern Xinjiang, it is good to remember a name.

What's more, it was more than ten years ago.

Reminiscent of the ore that Nangong Yue had just brought out, Mrs. Fang seemed to understand what he was asking, "Ayue, but your ore is from Mount Sigler?"

Nangong Yue nodded.

"It turned out to be a salt mine!" Grandpa Fang was surprised.

Salt mines are rare, and they can bring even more value than iron mines.

But if the salt mine was mined on Mount Siglet, why did he not know at all?

No, he didn't even know why, why now, more than ten years later, Nangong Yue noticed this mine instead, among them... Grandpa Fang was afraid to go on.

Nangong Yue's mind will inevitably attract the suspicion of Grandpa Fang, but if she wants to go down the Mount Sigrel, she will undoubtedly have to get the support of Grandpa Fang. Earlier books were posted in earlier years.Grandpa Fang is the head of the Fang family. If you want to read this account book, you can't hide him from some things.

Nangong Yue looked at Grandpa Fang without hesitation and said, "... Grandfather, now the salt mine in Sigele Mountain is in the hands of Baiyue, and the name of Fang's family is called to the outside. "" She only said about Baiyue and concealed that it might be related to the death of the first princess and the old prince.

Grandpa Fang is also a person who has experienced wind and rain. Wen Yan also calmed down and nodded slightly, saying, "If you want to check anything or want to ask, you can tell my grandfather."

"That's natural." Nangong Yue responded with a smile, and then climbed up the pole, "Speaking of it, there is really a place for you to help. When I came back this time, I got two hundred and fifty stones. Iron ore mine, I want to ask your grandfather to make a batch of iron arrows."

Mrs. Fang is getting older, and he is afraid that he will cause trouble to his grandson. Now, Nangong Yue says that there is something to trouble him, but instead makes him excited, especially this iron ore is still used on the grandson’s battlefield. Said to agree immediately.

Nangong Yue pretended to exaggerate the process of cheating on the iron ore from the Baiyue people, which caused the old lady Fang to laugh, and the restlessness just because of Mount Sigley also quietly spread with the laughter. go with.

Accompanying Mrs. Fang to have lunch together, Nangong Yue asked him for a safe pulse, opened a dose of tranquilizing soup, and watched him use it. Then he left Tingyuge.

By the time he returned to the yard, Queer had put the roster on the book case in her small study.

The roster records the basic situation of each servant in the Wangfu: whether it is a family child or a child, the name, age, where is the difference, and so on.The establishment of the King's Mansion in Zhennan has not happened for more than 20 years. Even if the family has the most children, it will multiply to the third generation. From time to time, the King Mansion will buy some servants.

These records are too simple.

In particular, the parents of the children who were born in the family, and their parents used to go wherever they were.

Nangong Yue looked at the roster casually and asked, "Qiaoer, who are the wives you said about Aunt Mei yesterday?"

Queer stepped forward two steps and said, "Slave slaves are impolite."

After turning a few pages, she pointed out several names.They are the first batch of servants of the Royal Mansion. In addition to the basic information such as name and monthly money, the roster records only the date and price they were bought and where they are currently going.

Nangong Yue put together the roster and said, "According to my instructions, from today on, I will summarize all the servants of the royal palace and re-register the roster... Specifically, just like what we did when we were in the royal palace. "She paused and added, "Not only the servants, but also the aunts."

"Yes, concubine."

Queer hunched down and hugged the roster and retreated.

Say not to be disappointed, it must be false. Nangong Yue can only comfort herself in her heart. Don’t worry, since someone did it, there must be traces!She has enough time to check slowly!

Nangong Yue's order was quickly passed on. Although there were some disputes among the people, they did not dare to have the slightest disagreement. Instead, the aunts' reactions were greater. Those who had fallen out of favor had fallen out, and the few who were favored were wronged. Complained to the King of Zhennan that he had been taken lightly and asked the King of Zhennan to take charge of himself.

For this reason, King Zhennan also called Nangyong Yue to ask for one or two.

"Father, whether it is Yanding City or Luoyue City, has discovered the spies of Nanliang." Nangong Yue said without squinting. "The daughter-in-law thought, don't be careful. If the Nanliang people sneaked into our palace, That's a serious problem. Instead of always worrying about it, let's check it first."

The remarks were reasonable and reasonable. As soon as the King of Zhennan thought that there might be a spy on the Nanliang people in his royal palace, he couldn't help but have a lingering fear. He acted decisively and asked Nangong Yue to investigate.

With the words of King Zhennan, things are much easier to manage. Nangong Yue handed over the power to Queer and Thrush, and after reading the rest, he turned to see the prayers sent by the governments, and he was tired from the journey. , All the reasons for the need to rest were rejected.After failing to get close to Nangong Yue, the governments were disappointed and immediately expressed that they did not dare to disturb the imperial concubine to rest, and instead sent a generous gift to the wind.

In just two days, a newly opened warehouse was full.

Bai Hui, who was facing the registration of the gift list, raised her lips, and she still remembers that when the Princess Shizi first came to southern Xinjiang, these mansions were still watching. This has only completely changed in a few months. Attitude, Shi Zifei can be regarded as a firm foothold.

After two days of rest, Nangong Yue took over the cards sent back by Xiao Fei and took over the Zhongnan Wangfu's Chinese feed again.

On the fifth day of December, Zhou Dacheng quickly stepped up and brought back the two hundred stone iron ore three days in advance. The iron ore was sent to the Fangjia smelting workshop that day to catch up with work day and night.

On the sixth day of December, Xiaohui flew into Bixiaotang and brought back a good news--

Xiao Yi led his troops into Nanliang from the highly toxic black swamp, and captured the five cities in one fell swoop.

There was only such a simple sentence in the triumphant news, but Nangong Yue was reading it over and over again, with a happy expression on her face.

Calculating the time, but separated from Xiao Yi for ten days, her heart missed him all the time.

Nangong Yue's lips have been full of smiles, and after a long time, he threw this good news into the brazier...

"Concubine Shizi, Han girl is here."

At this time, Bai Hui's voice came from outside the door, accompanied by Nangong Yue's sentence "Let Sister Xia come in." : "Yue'er, I seem to be recognized..."

Nangong Yue was shocked and quickly asked, "Who is it?"

"Yes..." Han Qixia took a deep breath and sighed, "Is the Saint Virgin of Baiyue, posing."
