In the inner room at night, when no one is talking, it is particularly quiet.
The sound of wind, the swaying of branches and leaves... and even the occasional whisper of Xiao Yu in his sleep seemed to be amplified several times.
Queer carefully tucked the corner of Xiaoshi Sun, curiosity was picked up, and asked in amusement: "Sister Shizi, could this Mr. Guan have someone with a story?"
Nangong Yue gently stroked the little guy's plump cheeks dyed with peach blossoms. There was a scene in Hanshi Street flashing in his mind. He nodded and said, "Remember I was old in Jiangnan when I was seven years old. When I was in the house, I heard the mother mention this Mr. Guan..."
Nangong Yue said so, thrush and magpie's curious eyes looked at it, a look of "want to move the stool over to melon seeds to listen to the story", Nangong Yue could not help but look a bit stubborn.
It happened ten years ago, when Nangong Yue was seven years old. For Nangong Yue, who was alive again, it was a long time ago.
She took care of her thoughts and whispered.
Ten years ago, a stranger came across the sea to find someone to teach chess skills in the area around Jiangnan. In just a few months, he defeated all the masters of chess in Jiangnan, which shocked Jiangnan chess. Later, this person was in Jiangnan. Puyao Temple placed a chess game to seek defeat and defeat, which attracted the city for a while...
One day, Guan Jinyun, who was going to the incense in Puyao Temple, accidentally heard about this, broke the chess game of countless talented chess players, and made the Na Yi people willing to worship the wind. Mr. Guan".
Later, there were also young and talented geniuses who wanted to challenge Guan Jinyun, but he was refuted by Guan Jinyun with a sentence "Chess is a self-cultivation and not a competitive technique". This sentence was once used by many literati. Praise, feel that Mr. Guan is of high quality...
This Mr. Guan is not only brilliant in chess, but also arrogant, not easy to show her edge. Later, she only heard that she had discussed chess with several well-known chess masters such as Holy Zen Master, Li Ruomo and other masters. His chess skills are quite appreciated.
Nangong Yue's voice was gentle and elegant in the gentle night breeze, and the young ladies heard it with relish and fascinated.
When the room calmed down again, Thrush said with emotion: "Secretary of the World, this Mr. Guan feels like a female hero..."
Yes.Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows. She still remembers how she felt when she listened to her mother when she was a child, so she still remembers this person after many years...
It was late at night, and there was so much thrill in the day that at night it was transformed into peace and drowsiness, and everything fell asleep until the dawn came again...
Early the next morning, Xiao Rongyu came to Bixiaotang to greet Nangong Yue. The young girl with a refreshed look seemed clear and energetic, and apparently had completely got rid of yesterday's shadow.
Nangong Yue and the little girl talked about Baihui's going to Huanxi Pavilion to give Mr. Guan a gift yesterday, and after a few words of greeting with her, she sent her back. As for Xiao Xiaoyu, she didn't care from beginning to end His five aunts, his attention was attracted by something outside the window.
"Mew meow--" He was lying in the window and screamed at the cat Xiaobai sleeping on the branch repeatedly, but unfortunately Xiaobai did not move like a mountain, curled into a fluffy white hair ball on the thick branch, watching people watch Some hands tickled.
"Meow meow!"
The cries of milk and milk gas echoed in the room. Nangong Yue, who was a girl, put down the needle and thread, and began to think about whether she should divert the attention of the little guy, but he suddenly changed his mouth: "Aunt ..."
The little guy waved a small palm of his hand excitedly at the window, and his body twitched slightly. Nangong Yue did not doubt that if he was bigger, his skill would be higher, and he must have climbed out of the window.
Nangong Yue thought, and looked out of the eyes of the little guy, thinking that Xiao Fei or some other sisters had come, but didn't want the yard to be empty.
"Aunt..."
The little flesh shouted again, and Nangong Yue looked around again, and then suddenly realized that the little guy was looking at the sky.
In the blue sky, a white dove fluttered its wings and flew towards the direction of Bixiaotang.
Nangong Yue was startled, suddenly realized.
It turned out that the little guy called not "aunt", but "coo", "coo" dove.
Thinking, she was a little funny, and there was a vague feeling in her heart. Seeing the direction of the pigeons flying, it seemed to come from the north, will it come from the king...
Half an hour later, Nangong Yue's doubts were answered.
Along with the sound of "clucking" and picking curtains, Bai Hui stepped into the east time with a chubby white carrier pigeon.
The pigeon attracted Xiao Xiaoyu's attention all at once, and cried again, and the pigeons cried one after another.
Thrush took the pigeon and immediately took Xiao Shisun to play with him, and Bai Hui presented a letter folded into a long strip to Nangong Yue, and said respectfully: "Sister Shizi, this is the steward Zhu I just received the Biography of Flying Pigeon from Wangdu..."
Nangong Yue squinted Baihui somewhat funnyly. Zhu Xing had already read this letter, and there was no need to hug the pigeons. Baihui did so much, naturally to please Xiao Xiaoyu.
Bai Hui's eyes were not squinted, and she was calm as usual, as if she didn't see Nangong Yue's playful eyes.
Nangong Yue raised her hand to take over the secret letter, and her eyes fell on the letter in her hand. Since Zhu Xing specifically asked Bai Hui to pass the letter to herself, it must be because he thought there was some of her in the letter. Things to know...
Nangong Yue took a deep breath and quickly opened the letter, looking down at every line...
this is……
Nangong Yue only looked at a few lines, but looked at him with a look of surprise in his eyes and expression.
This letter was mainly about Han Huaijun, saying that the emperor had received the discount sent by Wei Yuanhou from West Xinjiang, and on the fourth day of December, he made a decree to administer the imperial palace of Qi, and King Qi was demoted from the prince to the county king. Han Huaijun was convicted of treason and was abolished, and Jiang Yixi...
The speed at which Nangong Yue read the letter slowed down unconsciously, and the expression on her face became more and more complex and dignified.
"Sister Xi is coming to Nanjiang soon..." Nangong Yue stared at the letter and murmured, like a statement and a sigh.
Although he was about to reunite with his old friend whom he hadn't seen in a few years, Nangong Yue's face had no trace of joy.In today's situation, she really can't laugh.
On the side, Bai Hui, Queer and Thrush all looked at each other. From the look of Nangong Yue, the girls all vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with Wangdu...
Only Xiao Xiaoyu played with the white pigeon carelessly, squeaked for a while, and then moved his arms up and down to imitate the flying of the white pigeon, and then touched the delicate white feather of the white pigeon with the small meat claw. Two times, just like he touched the cat in the house on weekdays.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but read the secret letter on his hand again, engraving it word by word in his heart, his fingers unconsciously exerted force, and his body was even more rigid.
Long before the emperor's second stroke, Nangong Yue felt vaguely what the emperor had done over the years. Since she and Xiao Yi left the capital, the emperor seemed to be more and more confused...
But from this time, it seems that the emperor really got into trouble, no, or it was a magic obstacle!
If it were the emperor who regarded her and Ayi as loved by her nieces and juniors, and the emperor with kindness, Han Huaijun and Jiang Yixi could never be pushed to such a "dead path"...
Maybe my guess is right...
Thinking, Nangong Yuemei Yu locked tightly, a glint flashed in his eyes.
These ten ** are the sequelae left by the emperor's stroke!
This time, Han Lingguan secretly gave the emperor a heart attack, causing his stroke to recur, and then he was comatose for more than 20 days. The emperor's stroke was much more serious than the first time, and he was able to wake up. I am afraid half of it was a doctor The other half of the medical technique is luck.
Even if she did not explore the vein of the emperor, you can roughly guess that his body is the end of the crossbow... If the emperor is willing to listen to the medical doctor, take a good rest, if the emperor is willing to give the dynasty to the five princes, maybe it can drag on a few. Year, but the emperor couldn't let go, he still wanted to hold the power firmly in his palm...
Toil and labor, thoughtfulness, anger and grief... These are taboos of stroke, but the emperor committed every kind of crime. In this way, it will only make his condition become more and more serious, leading to entanglement of mind and extreme temperament. , Persevering in a vicious circle, unable to extricate themselves!
To be honest, the current emperor is afraid that he can no longer listen to persuasion. He can only understand it himself, but his condition will only become more and more clogged. Can he still wake up?
Nangong Yue smiled bitterly, and she already had an answer in her heart...
Next, what kind of situation will Wangdu and Chaotang go?!
Nangong Yue felt like she was pressing something, and it was even heavier, and she could not help but overflow between her lips and teeth with a sigh.
Hey, just pity Sister Xi.
Before Xiao Yi's expedition, he told Nangong Yue that Han Huaijun and Jiang Yixi might settle in southern Xinjiang...if the emperor ordered Han Huaijun to treason and devalue Jiang Yixi as an official slave.
According to Xiao Yi's original plan, Jiang Yixi would rebuke the emperor on the day of taking the order, and refute Han Huaijun's treason, which is nothing - after all, Han Huaijun led the Xijiang Army to win the victorious streak, recapture the four cities of West Xinjiang, and take the West The night army directly retreated to Liuquan City, why the crime of treason!
As long as Han Huaijun’s crime of treason is not established, Jiang Yixi can naturally avoid being punished as a slave, and later, he can leave the capital with fairness... but he did not expect Jiang Yixi to choose death.
"Death Escape" means that she is carrying the status of "official slave" to death. There will be no relatives or "Jiang Yixi" in the future. She is equivalent to abandoning her past, her roots...
This is definitely not an easy choice.
With Nangong Yue's knowledge of Jiang Yixi, she could vaguely guess why Jiang Yixi chose to take this path.
Jiang Yixi didn't want to involve the government of Eun Guo because of her, nor did he want the emperor to anger the empress and the five princes...
This is her own sister Xi!
Thinking, Nangong Yue's heart appeared a little sad, mixed with a little sigh...
The house was silent for a while, and even the surrounding atmosphere became a little dignified and depressed due to Nangong Yue's silence.
For a long time, Nangong Yue finally put down the stationery in her hand, and the originally loose eyes gradually got a focal length, and she said, "Bai Hui, you can arrange for people to clean the house on Guanzhi Street..."
The house on the other side of Guanzhi Street is the yard that Nangong Yue found for Han Huaijun and Jiang Yixi. She had already read it, but she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that she would not come to this point...
Nangong Yue settled down and continued: "Also, pick some stable people from the children of Bixiaotang to serve in the past, and make sure that Sister Xi... they feel at home."
When the last four words were spoken, Nangong Yue felt a bit of bitterness spread in her mouth.
Jiang Yixi came alone, and the people who used to serve him could not be taken, and his family was thousands of miles away. Even if the daily expenses are as usual, everything is different...
Bai Hui responded and retired.
Nangong Yue threw the silk paper filled with words into the brazier. The flickering silk paper was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye, and turned into ashes, blending with the coke in the brazier.
In the sound of the flame burning, Dongji quieted down again, only the sound of "clucking" occasionally sounded...
Seeing that the pigeons were a little bit languished by Xiao Xiaoyu, Nangong Yue couldn't help but laugh, thinking about these pigeons being bullied by Xiao Hui and Han Yu on weekdays, it is rare that the two eagles are not there. Some pitiful, let thrush put the carrier pigeon.
Xiao Xiaoyu was still reluctant to let his little buddy, and looked at the direction where the pigeons flew away, "cooing", but it begged his aunt.
As soon as Xiao Fei entered the room, he heard the little guy calling "aunt", and his face suddenly couldn't hide his joy. After seeing the ceremony to Nangong Yue, he asked complacently, "Brother Yu, are you thinking about your aunt?"
She walked to Xiao Xiaoyu's side, gently touched his soft hair, and shook his warm little hand again, with a wide smile in the corner of her mouth.
Seeing the aunt, the little guy was distracted and raised his arms coquettishly and gestured to the aunt to hug him.
Xiao Fei was flattered and hugged the little guy to his knees. It was sweet in his heart. It took him a while to remember the business of this trip.
"Sister-in-law, I received a post from Yuanxi Pavilion, saying that a chess meeting is going to be held today." Xiao Fei said to Taoyao to present a lake-colored cloud pattern post to Nangong Yue, "Dao, do you want Don't go with me?"
Xiao Fei said that a pair of dark and clear eyes were shining brightly, and he was obviously very interested in this chess game.
In fact, Nangong Yue also received this post, and she originally wanted to go, but since it is a chess game, the game will inevitably, once the game fee is not less, I am afraid that it will be half a day.
Yiqi pays attention to quietness, and the place where the game is played cannot be noisy. Xiao Yu is under the age of one, and it will inevitably be noisy, and naturally cannot be taken...
After thinking about it, Nangong Yue had to decline Xiao Fei's invitation: "Sister Fei, it's about to go to Laba. The Wang's office is busy and I have to take care of Yu Yu. I won't go."
When the little guy on Xiao Fei's knee heard his name, he responded: "Mother?"
He tilted his head and looked at the mother, as if asking, what did the mother tell him to do?
Xiao Fei said that she was disappointed, but without much persuasion, she thoughtfully said: "Sister-in-law, I will tell you about the chess meeting in detail when I come back..."
"Sister Fei, if you see a good chess game, you can come back and check it for me?" Nangong Yue smiled.
Xiao Fei agreed without hesitation, but I still felt a little sorry. The chess club in Huanxi Pavilion will surely attract many women who are good at chess in the city. Moreover, I heard that Mrs. Jiang invited a master of chess in Jiangnan this time. Sir, if you can discuss with Mr. Guan, you will benefit a lot.Xiao Fei has figured out that he wants to record more games in the chess club and come back to Nangong Yue...
Thinking of the master chess player Mr. Guan, Xiao Fei remembered another thing, and then said: "Sister-in-law, I heard that Mr. Guan, who lives in Huanxi Pavilion for the time being, is the life-saving benefactor of the fifth sister. I want to go with me and go in person to thank Mr. Guan for his life-saving grace."
Xiao Fei's discourse already has the style of an elder sister. As an elder sister, she should take care of her sister no matter it is outside Fuzhong.
Nangong Yue nodded with a smile.
Xiao Xiaoyu also learned how to nod from her mother, Xiao Fei looked down at the little guy in her arms that showed eight rice grains with a smile, and knew in her heart that Xiao Xiaoyu was the sister-in-law who could not go to the chess club with herself. the reason.
Little nephew grow up quickly!Aunt can take you to play together.
Xiao Fei held the little guy's hands and asked seriously: "Brother Yu, when you grow up, how can your aunt teach you how to play chess?"
Poor Xiao Yu didn't even know what her aunt was asking, only to smirk, and learned Xiao Fei's movement to hold her hand instead.
For Xiao Fei, this means that the little nephew agreed. She kissed her white and tender cheeks with joy, and she knew that the little nephew had the best relationship with her.
Then, in exchange for a kiss from the little guy.
Sealed by!Xiao Fei laughed even more.
Looking at the pair of aunts and nephews who had been inexplicably playing together, Nangong Yue had already blamed the son's various skills of self-acquaintance and kindness.
Anyway, she is sure that her son is not like her...
Xiao Fei stayed in Bixiaotang for a while, and after watching the hour, he almost left, planning to go back to Yuebiju and go to Huanxi Pavilion...
On this day, the sisters Xiao Fei and Xiao Rongyu did not return to the palace until the time of Shen. When they came back, they first came to the courtyard of Nangong Yue.
After going out for a long time, the two girls, big and small, were not tired at all. Instead, they looked radiant and energetic. Both girls' eyes shone like a star.
On weekdays, Xiao Fei and Xiao Rongyu are very different in age, and they can't play together. The sisters are not thick and light. I didn't expect to go out together today.
"Sister-in-law."
After seeing Nangong Yue, the sisters sat down and talked to Nangong Yue about the chess meeting.
"Sister-in-law, look!" Xiao Fei couldn't wait to hand a piece of chess to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue looked at this game. First, she recognized that it was the game recorded by Xiao Rongyu with a bit of childish italics. Then she carefully examined the game and said thoughtfully: "Sister Fei, you are the black man. ?"
Xiao Fei palmed with a smile: "Sister-in-law still looks like a torch."
Go respects the holding of blacks. When the blacks are played, the first blacks have a great advantage. However, this is the case. Whites still win.
Nangong Yue is the most aware of Xiao Fei's chess skills. However, the white chess player can win with two and a half heads, which is indeed extraordinary. Whether in southern Xinjiang or Wangdu women are rare.
"Which Mr. Guan is this white chess player?" Nangong Yue asked again.
Xiao Fei nodded again, his eyes were different, and then took out three pieces of chess, "Sister-in-law, look at these three pieces again."
These three pieces of chess are obviously recorded by Xiao Fei, but the game seems to be a lot more bland. The white player should be the Mr. Guan. This should be the guide chess... Nangong Yue raised his brow slightly, and listened to Xiao Rongyu. Said a sentence: "Sister-in-law, Mr. Guan's chess skills are really too clever. At the same time, playing chess with the three girls, it is still unhurried."
While Xiao Rongyu was speaking, he showed his admiration, and Xiao Fei also echoed with compliment: "You Dao is:'Listen to a king's words and read ten years' book'. This Mr. Guan's overview of the overall situation is beyond my reach. In the past two years, I have felt that my chess skills have stagnated, and I really benefited a lot today."
On the side, Xiao Rongyu seemed to think of something, and there was a shy expression on his face, saying: "Sister-in-law, Mr. Guan said that the winter in southern Xinjiang is much warmer than that in Jiangnan, and I plan to spend some time in southern Xinjiang..."
After a pause, Xiao Rongyu bravely expressed his request: "Sister-in-law, can I ask Mr. Guan to come to Wangfu as a lady and teach me chess skills?"
