A melodious melodious sound of a piano came out from an elegant seat on the second floor. It was like a spring water dingdong, like a big bead and a small bead falling into a jade plate, and like a bird...
A woman in Cuiyi came out from the seat, closed the door quietly, and walked towards the direction of the stairs. Before she reached the stairway, she heard a sound of "pushing" coming downstairs. Mixed with the loud voice of an old woman: "I think this piano plays well, it's smooth and joyous, this girl must be beautiful."
The old woman's voice was full of breath, but she could hear it from her words, presumably the one with no ink in her belly.
"Mother is right." Then another female voice started, with a helpless voice in her tone.
In the discourse, four female guests walked into the corridor, apparently three generations.The lady in Cuiyi hurriedly avoided the side, and the four guests walked past.
The head of the four female guests was an old woman with white hair and gray hair. She saw her wearing a bean-green plain noodle, her gray hair was combed into a neat round bun, and only bamboo was inserted into the bun. Hairpin, wearing a pair of dull silver bracelets on her wrist, was very simple in dress, even the younger two in green clothes in the Huanxi Pavilion were better than the old woman.
In contrast, the middle-aged woman beside the old woman and the two young girls behind her seemed to be of extraordinary origin. The middle-aged woman wore an indigo blue treasure-like flower-wrapped braid, and the two young girls The appearance is somewhat similar, it should be a sister, the sister is wearing a picking golden thread Begonia red makeup flower garnet, the sister is wearing a pink brocade pattern, and the feet are wrapped around the flower garnish, look at the material should be all Jiangnan before The fancy just came over, and then look at the hairpins, earrings, collars, etc. worn by the three people, everything is exquisite and luxurious.
The four female guests stood together, and it seemed that the old woman was out of place.
The woman in Cuiyi understands her heart. Unlike Wangdu and Jiangnan, there are many centuries-old families with deep roots. In southern Xinjiang, there are many people who are called "outbreakers" by some families. For example, the largest in southern Xinjiang The "upstart" is probably the southern palace of Zhennan, and the fortune is only a few decades. The ancestors can't tell a few generations... There are too many people like this in southern Xinjiang!
Some people come from the hard times, they can’t wait to wear Jin Daijin, and put all their belongings on their bodies, and some people are used to the hard times, but now the days are good, and they are also used to simplicity.
"Sister Wei, did you hear the sound of the piano coming from there?" said the old woman as she hurried towards the elegant seat.
"Grandmother!" The older middle-aged two girls followed, and persuaded softly, "You just passed by, isn't it appropriate?"
"What's wrong?" The old woman smiled disapprovingly. "I listened to her piano and felt good. I should naturally praise her. Sister Wei, you should also learn to not play those sorrows. Cut...it sounds weak."
Cuiyi woman's complexion changed slightly, listening to the old woman's tone, would you like...Oops!If this disturbs the cleanliness of a few nobles in the seat, it will not be beautiful.
"This old lady, slow..."
The woman in Cuiyi hurriedly wanted to call the old woman, but she was a step behind, and only listened to a "squeak". The old woman had pushed the door open regardless of her, and said in her mouth, "Did you bother?"
The sound of the piano in the seat came to an abrupt halt, and then the girl named Sister Wei whispered in surprise, "Sister...... Madam Xiao?"
Cuiyi woman was stunned, do they know the concubine?!
Following that, the middle-aged woman also apologized: "Mrs. Xiao, it's really annoying."
Seeing Nangong Yue's jaw slightly, Bai Hui said politely: "Mrs. Chang, Chang San girl, please sit inside."
The door of the seat was closed, and the woman in Cuiyi breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to walk in the direction of the stairs.
But Xiao Rongxuan, the second girl in the elegant seat, was not so happy. She secretly stared at the person.
She had been playing the piano in a good manner, and wanted to let her know her piano skills so that the sister-in-law would know that, compared to her four sisters, she was a talented woman who was ingenious in chess, painting, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy. Interrupted her.But since the coming person knew the sister-in-law, it must have been a name, and she had to sit dignifiedly and smile politely.
Xiao Rongying glanced at the second sister lightly, applauding the Chang family secretly.
Mrs. Chang didn't notice the spark between Xiao Rongxuan and Xiao Rongying. She was happily in her heart. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to do a good deed, but she was worried about her bad luck last time. Having said a few words, I didn't expect to come to Huanxi Pavilion by accident this time, but I just ran into it.Seeing that there is still some fate between home and Wangfu, today I have to find ways to make the two daughters get close to the princess of the world and the girl Xiao.
"I've seen the princess of the world." Mrs. Chang smiled and stepped forward to meet Nangong Yue. She glanced over Xiao Fei, Xiao Rongxuan, Xiao Ni and Xiao Rongying without a trace, secretly speculating, and didn't know which one was Xiao Xiao. In his mouth, he said enthusiastically, "This is a concubine's mother-in-law and a young daughter, and her boudoir name is ringing."
Chang family?!Xiao Rongxuan flashed a disapproval in his eyes, no wonder it was so. I have heard for a long time that this old lady is from the country. There were no jokes in her early years... It seems that after so many years, even the mud on the legs has not been washed away, so vulgar rude.
No matter what Xiao Rongxuan thought in his mind, he could only get up and see the Chang family casually.
After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Chang smiled as soon as she sat down: "Sister Seiko, the old man just heard the piano outside and thought it was very festive, so I came to see which girl played the piano, but it disturbed the princess Shizi "" Then, she looked at Xiao Rongxuan with a smile on her face.
Xiao Rongxuan's expression was a little subtle. I didn't know whether I should be happy that the other party praised his piano skills in front of his sister-in-law, or whether she should abandon the other party's vulgar words. What a joy, she clearly played like a warrior.
"Lady Chang doesn't need to care, my sisters and I just rest here." Nangong Yue smiled gently.
Although the old-hearted old lady was somewhat reckless, she did not distort her temperament, and she clearly differed from Chang Huaixi, but somehow made her think that the two grandparents were indeed grandchildren.
Mrs. Chang sighed in relief, as long as Princess Shizi was not angry. She said, "Might Princess Shi also just went to Anlan Palace to pray for a break?" The implication is that the four of them also just prayed from Anlan Palace. .
Nangong Yue responded with a smile.
"It's a coincidence!" Mrs. Chang smiled boldly on the thigh, and said, "The old body heard that Princess Shizi had just been to Yanding City years ago. I don't know if I saw any grandchildren? Shizi Princess, my family. Didn't Brother Xi get into trouble?"
Hearing the words, Mrs. Chang was dumbfounded. The mother-in-law's previous sentence was quite humanoid. What does this last sentence mean?Is there a mother-in-law asking this question?...Is this too honest?
Mrs. Chang twitched her brow silently, and looked at Nangong Yue nervously, lest she might displease the other party.
Mrs. Chang is really worried. Although she made a decision to let Xixier go to the barracks to fight for a future, Kexier is indeed a freewheeling and do what he wants, especially the stubborn temper, just like his grandfather!She didn't say anything. For half a year, it was also a day and night worry. He would provoke trouble there, thinking that his grandfather would not make the old prince angry, and the military stick didn't know how many times he had suffered.
Last time my daughter-in-law went to the royal palace to give a New Year's gift, when you came back, she said that your grandson must be reused by the prince.Hey, the daughter-in-law is always doing things in this way, can't you directly understand the question?!Don't worry about secretly trying to figure it out.
Mrs. Chang’s last question made the atmosphere in the seats relaxed, and both Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei could not help but tolerate.
The smile on Nangong Yue's face was even stronger, and she said warmly: "Mrs. Chang, let Sun never go into trouble, so rest assured."
There was a clear sense of closeness in the words of Princess Shizi, and Mrs. Chang's heart hanging in the air was finally put down. It seems that the mother-in-law was wrong, and the words and words made the palace and the Changfu a lot closer.
"It's better if you don't go into trouble!" Mrs. Chang laughed a few times, thinking: Princess Shizi deserves to be Princess Shizi, indeed, she has a neat personality.When they were in the country, men used to fight outside. If a woman had a soft temper, she would be sure that there would be no scum left.No wonder Shiziye has won many battles over the years, and this is his wife!Well, just like when I was young!
The more Mrs. Chang looked at Nangong Yue, the more she felt that everyone was a fellow Chinese, and he said cheerfully: "Concubine Shizi, please tell the grandfather, although the grandson who called the old man, this boy should be raised with care and be well tempered. Hardening, there is no saying that what jade or what is. This boy is so precious, it is not like a female doll." Then, she also deliberately glanced at her daughter-in-law, and looked at Mrs. Chang Helpless.
"Mrs. Chang Lao said that jade can't be cut into pieces." Nangong Yue nodded with a smile, and said: There is another saying, a family is as old as a treasure.
"Concubine Shizi, this is the reason!" Mrs. Chang Lao said excitedly.
The temperaments of the young and the old are very different, and they actually talked about it for a while... for a time, I only listened to the cheerful laughter of Mrs. Chang Lao from time to time in the seat.
After having lunch at Huanxi Pavilion, Nangong Yue and his entourage returned home, and as soon as they returned to their yard, Thrush hurried forward and said that Zhu Xing had just sent something.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, quickly stepped in, and saw at a glance a small box placed on the case table.
It seems that Zhu Xing succeeded!
Bai Hui on the side was also staring at the box, vaguely guessing what it was, and looking forward to it.
Nangong Yue opened the box and saw a white porcelain jar with a complicated red pattern placed inside.As soon as the jar was opened, a familiar smell came out. Nangong Yue recognized the smell alone, and the black ointment in the jar was Wuhe ointment.
A year ago, Nangong Yue asked Zhu Xing to ask Han Huaijun to urge the Wuhe anointing, and then the dark guard was waiting for the rabbit. Until today, it was robbed from the Baiyue people who sent Wuhe anoint.
With a smile on his face, he looked at Wuhe cream with a smile, and said slightly in the corner of his mouth: "Concubine Shizi, the concubine who lays on the side of the dress, I am afraid that the person who robbed the Wuhe cream is us." The thrush seemed to feel happy in that anxious and corrupted manner.
Wuhe cream has only a small jar, but two or three pounds, but it is of great significance to their experiment.
Nangong Yue closed the box and instructed, "Bai Hui, you sent this Wuhe cream to your grandfather."
"Yes, concubine."
Bai Hui picked up the wooden box again and picked the curtain out. Only the string of beaded chains collided with each other, swaying endlessly.
It was a matter of great importance, and Bai Hui did not delay, and immediately came to Dongyi Gate with the small box.
After a while, the groom came in a tent.
Baihui raised the skirt and was about to get on the carriage, and heard a serious and old-fashioned voice coming from not far behind: "Baihui girl!"
This sound seems to be...
Bai Hui turned around and looked at the sound, only to see Chu Ma, who was wearing a ochre-colored gourd-shaped baby, walked slowly towards her with a face, followed by two little girls, seven or eight years old. .
"Mother Chu." Bai Hui blessed her with a graceful look at that mother.
After Grandma Chu entered Bixiaotang, Nangong Yue temporarily asked her to bring a few new people into the house. The little girl who had just taught the rules cleaned those yards that were not in use. , There will be no suspicion of harsh treatment of old servants.
Grandma Chu, this is just back from the northeast corner. When I saw Bai Hui here, it seemed like I was going out, so I hurried over.
Grandma Chu glanced at the carriage behind Bai Hui, frowning, and asked, "Bai Hui girl, are you going out of the house? Why is she out of the house?" Her tone sounded unpleasant but transparent. With obvious questions.
"I was on the order of the imperial concubine." Bai Hui returned to the first question, but avoided the second question.
Grandma Chu's brow furrowed tighter, she said: Shi Zifei is too young. The rules of this imperial concubine are not strict. How can a maid go out at will if she has something to do!
"Girl Baihui," Grandma Chu said righteously, "I think that when the first princess was alive, she set a rule for Bi Xiaotang. Fans and girls in the inner court can't easily leave the house without a badge. Something happened outside, damaging the reputation of Wangfu and Bixiaotang."
Although it’s been a few days since Grandma Chu came to Bixiaotang, she went out from the house, and she caught up with some old people she knew before, and found out a lot of Bixiaotang from their mouths. For example, the girl Baihui is the eldest daughter of the concubine and the most reused by the concubine. In the palace, the concubine of the world is planning to wait for the concubine of Baihui to stay with her as the head of the inner court.Shi Zifei's attention to it is evident.
If you want to gain a foothold in Bixiaotang, you must first deter the Baihui.Grandma Chu said to herself secretly, as long as she stood by a rational character, even if she went to the imperial concubine, she was reasonable.
Bai Hui looked at Chu Mammy lightly, with a pair of dark and dark eyes calm and clear, and calm, as if he could look directly at people's hearts.
"Come here!"
She spit out two words, and the woman who waited for the carriage immediately nodded and greeted her.
"Grandma Chu is tired, take her to rest." Bai Hui ordered, and she took the skirt and walked on the carriage neatly.
Grandma Chu was originally prepared, thinking that Bai Hui would talk to her, but she didn’t expect the other party’s actions to be so simple and rude, really...
Grandma Chu still wanted to step forward, but was blocked by the woman-in-law: "Catherine Grandma, don't make slaves difficult..." Between the words, another rough-hearted wife also greeted her.
Grandma Chu's face sank, and now it's different in the past. Who would dare to treat her like this when she was taking care of the world.It can be seen that if the rules of this inner court are not good for rectification, sooner or later, the ceremony will be messed up and jokes will be made.
Be sure to talk to Princess Shizi carefully!
Although she didn't follow Princess Xian's order to take care of the grown-up, but that was compelling, Princess Xian would certainly consider herself.Now that I have returned, I will certainly make up for the helplessness of that year and take care of this inner yard for Shiziye.
Thinking of this, Grandma Chu walked steadily towards the main courtyard of Bixiaotang.
but……
Can't even enter the yard, was stopped by the little girl.
Not long after, Queer came out and said with a smile: "The Princess of the World is resting, the slave-servant dare not disturb."
Grandma Chu frowned and said, "What time is this, and Princess Shizi also confirmed..."
"Mother Chu." Queer smiled and interrupted her coldly. "Concubine Shizi is the master, and you are a servant. Mother Chu still needs to recognize her identity." Sleeve was gone, leaving only Grandma Chu behind him with a pale face.
When Queer returned to the house, he saw Nangong Yue leaning lazily on the beauty's couch, turning casually with a travel note in his hand.
She whispered softly, "Concubine, people are still outside."
"Ignore it." Nangong Yue said indifferently.
An old servant like Grandma Chu, who once served Princess Xian, has a sense of arrogance. Only when her arrogance is defeated first, so that she understands her identity, will she be honest.
It has been nineteen years, and I am not in a hurry at this moment.
"Did Xiaohui come back?" Nangong Yue asked. Since last night, Xiaohui's traces have disappeared, and it is estimated to go to Han Yu again.
This little ash, since he went to Yanding City, his temperament has become more and more wild!
All make Ayi used to it!
Thinking of Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue's lips were raised, and her eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Deng Licheng...
The quiet afternoon passed away quietly, the sun gradually fell, and the night became heavier and heavier.
The night of Dengli City is quiet, but it is different from the previous silence, and now the silence is quiet.
In the garrison house, the candlelight was not extinguished, and in the silent night, the firelight jumped lively.
The mandarin, who has been bathing and changing clothes, with white hair and long black hair sitting behind a huge book case, stared at a map placed on the book case, next to the map there were several pieces of silk paper, scattered with some names and some Place name: such as Kui Lang, Nuhar...Siglai Mountain, Ruijiang City...
The white slender mandarin's finger moved on the map from time to time, to see how he was attentive, obviously there was no plan to go to bed at half past one.
Xiao Si frowned and tried to persuade but did not persuade him in the end. He took up the celadon tea cup in his hand and planned to add some tea to his son, but after moving a step, he stopped and looked out the window. ...
Guan Yubai immediately noticed the movement of Primary Four and looked up thoughtfully.
I don’t know when there is a little more gray shadow in the silver moon outside. The gray shadow is getting bigger and bigger, flying closer and closer, flying lower and lower... It can be seen that it is a white pigeon, and there is a gray eagle behind him.
The chubby white pigeon was obviously frightened, flapping its wings flapping non-stop, and occasionally a few thin white feathers fell, and the grey eagle behind it was obviously teasing the pigeons to play, every time the white pigeon struggled to move forward Flying a little, the grey eagle deliberately lengthened the distance between them, but then it vibrated twice with heroic vigor, and caught up with it in the blink of an eye...
The poor white pigeon was dying and fleeing desperately, Xiao Si frowned, this little gray really picked time, and came over to bully his pigeons!
Xiao Si put down the tea cup, propped it up casually on the window sill, and flew quickly out of the study.
After a while, he returned the same way, holding the white fat pigeon in one hand, pinching a small bamboo tube sealed with wax in one hand, and handing it to the official Bai.
Immediately following, Xiao Hui also flew over, instead of entering the house, but stopped on a branch outside the window, looking down on the house.
Xiao Si didn't go to see Xiao Hui, and said to Mandarin Bai, "Son, Nanliang flew over there."
"Coo—" The fat white pigeon seemed to be responding to him. He yelled softly, and his trembling body shook, straightening into the arms of Xiao Si, trying to avoid the "cold horror" outside the window. "The eyes really scared the pigeons!"
The official language Bai quickly took out the silk paper in the small bamboo tube, quickly unfolded it, looked down at every line, his lips raised a light smile.
The flying pigeon came from Xiao Yi.
On the silk paper, only a dragon and a phoenix danced and wrote a sentence-Wu Licheng was broken and he captured Nanliang King.
Wuli City is the capital city of Nanliang. In December, Xiao Yi was approaching Wuli City, but he did not attack the city until all the surrounding cities were swept away, and the drums were officially beaten three days ago.
In just three days, the city of Wuli broke!
Nanliang Kingdom is dead!
