Early the next morning, Nangong Yue just got up under the service of Yimei and Anniang when she saw Huamei rushing in.
An Niang couldn't help but lightly reprimanded: "Why are you so frizzy!"
Huamei straightened her posture immediately, bowed her knees to salute, and said in a soft voice: "Third Miss, Eunuch Liu is here, he has already arrived at the second gate, and he said it was an order from His Majesty."
Nangong Yue couldn't help raising her eyebrows. Eunuch Liu came to Nangong Mansion twice before to announce the decree, both of which were happy events. I don't know what surprise this time brought her.
Although the emperor's oral order was passed on to Nangong Yue, all the masters in the mansion had to come out to greet her, and the one kneeling at the front was not the Su family, but Nangong Yue.
Eunuch Liu said slowly: "Your Majesty will give you an order to reward Yaoguang County Lord Dawan with a horse, two jade ruyis, and silk..." Behind him is a long list of rewards, such as a thousand taels of silver, a pair of jade bracelets, A pair of pierced ear bottles and so on... These rewards were brought out in boxes, and there were quite a lot of them.
Everyone listened, thinking about it in their hearts.
Last time, when the county lord was appointed, the emperor had already rewarded a lot of good things. I didn't expect that it was less than a month, and I don't know what Nangong Yue did in the spring hunt to please the emperor, and she got another batch of rewards , It can be said that the holy family is strong.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nangong Yue bowed and thanked the emperor for his kindness, and everyone in Nangong Mansion shouted "Long Live" three times before getting up.
"Eunuch Liu has worked hard!" After Su got up, he chatted with Eunuch Liu for a few words. Mrs. Lin ordered Madam Liu to stuff purses for the accompanying palace servants.
After sending off Eunuch Liu and his party respectfully, everyone couldn't help whispering around the Dawan BMW. It was a black horse. It should not be very old. It was just as tall as Nangong Yue's chin. It was black all over. Shiny, as black as black satin. Its abdomen is full and strong, its limbs are strong, and its long ponytail is thick, long and shiny. It is obviously a rare good horse!
Although the gold, silver, and silk rewarded by the emperor are enviable, they are not too rare for a famous family. No one would have thought that the emperor would actually give Nangong Yue a horse... What does this mean
Dayu established the country with martial arts, and the emperor was also good at martial arts. He once fought with the first emperor in the north and south, but rewarding a girl with a horse is too outrageous, isn't it
Huang couldn't help asking sourly: "Sister Yue, how could Your Majesty think of rewarding you with a horse?"
Nangong Yue was also very surprised, and replied with a smile: "Perhaps because His Majesty saw that my riding skills are too bad, so he gave me a horse to practice better." It was really dozing off, so someone brought a pillow , The emperor actually rewarded her with a Dawanliang horse, and a series of supplies together with the saddle and bridle.
With this Dawanliang horse bestowed by the emperor, even if she wanted to learn horseback riding and archery, it would be difficult for her grandmother to raise objections.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue's mood improved, and she didn't care about the envy and jealousy of others.
After Nangong Mu returned home from Yulinyuan, Nangongyue immediately went to Qianyunyuan happily, and asked her parents that she wanted to learn riding and archery. Knowing that their daughter was interested in riding and archery, both Nangong Mu and Lin were a little surprised. Lin was still worried about safety, but Nangong Mu thought for a while and said: "It's not right for a girl's family to invite a riding and archery master..." Seeing the disappointment on his daughter's face, he changed the subject again, "However, since you want to learn, daddy will teach you in person when you sleep."
Nangong Yue's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "Daddy, you can also ride and shoot." As soon as she said that, Nangong Yue felt that she had asked a stupid question. This is a compulsory course for boys from famous families since they were young. Especially the uncle and father, the two legitimate sons, were both taught by their grandfather.
So, Nangong Yue said with crooked eyebrows, "Daddy! You teach me!"
Nangong Mu nodded and made an unexpected decision, "Brother Xin will learn with you."
"Husband." Lin said anxiously, "Brother Xin..."
Nangong Mu patted her hand, and said with a look of relief: "These days, I take Brother Xin to study and draw together, and I feel that he seems to be much better than before... I think from now on, the six arts of gentlemen should also be together. Let him pick it up little by little. As long as he is willing to learn, I will teach him slowly, just like when he was young."
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes were a little moist.
The elder brother has indeed improved a bit, and the father who taught him to read and write should feel it more obviously. In the past, they didn't dare to force anything, they only hoped that he would live a peaceful life, but now, father's confidence in him seemed to be even stronger.
And hearing what he said, Lin did not refute anymore, nodded gently, and said to Nangong Yue: "If you waste your homework to learn riding and archery, mother will not forgive you."
Nangong Yue promised: "Don't worry, Dad, Mom."
Being a human being in two lives, Nangong Yue really doesn't pay attention to those so-called homework.
"Really?" Nangong Mu said with a serious face on purpose, "It's been a long time since my father tested your piano skills, why don't you play a song for my father now."
Lin's husband and wife ordered Ruyi to fetch her own qin and put it on the qin case, and lit the incense burner with her own hands.
Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the front of the piano case and sat down. She concentrated her mind, put her ten fingers on the strings, and plucked them gently. Her real piano skills are not inferior to Nangong Mu, or even to everyone in this world. But this is not what she should have at her age, so Nangong Yue could only hide her clumsiness and played the whole piece with skilled fingering without any mistakes.
The sound of the piano is curling up, and the lingering sound is endless.
When the last note fell, Nangong Yue stood with her hands tied, waiting for Nangong Mu's guidance.
Nangong Mu recovered from the melodious piano sound, and after a while he said: "Sister Yue, your piano skills are already very proficient, and you play this piece very smoothly, the only fly in the ointment is emotion. "Chun Jiang In Huayueye, there are wandering children's homesickness, life's short sigh, and miss's wife's longing for the king's return..." At this point, perhaps because he was afraid of hurting his daughter, he hurriedly added, "You are still young and can't play. It's normal to produce these things. You don't need to be too entangled."
"Thank you dad for teaching!" Nangong Yue bent down and saluted him.
After listening to the song "Chunjiang Flower and Moon Night", Nangong Mu became interested and said: "Today happens to be the night of the full moon. After dinner, sister Yue might as well go to the small bamboo forest in the garden with daddy to play to the moon." Qin, how about Daddy personally teaching you the song "Moon Night of Flowers on the Spring River"?" As he spoke, he felt that teaching his daughter how to play the piano in the bamboo forest under the moon might not be a good story.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly when she heard the words, a small dimple appeared on the corner of her lips, she looked a bit childish at this age: "Thank you, Daddy!"
Lin looked at the two father and daughter with a smile, and joined in the fun and said: "Then I will prepare a supper for you tonight, um... just make our sister Yue's favorite spring toon cake."
Nangong Yue raised her smile and said happily, "Mother, you are so kind!"
Nangong Mu looked at the time and said: "Call Shang Xin, let's pay your respects to your grandmother and come back early for dinner."
Nangong Yue nodded vigorously, ran to call Nangong Xin herself, and went to Rong'an Hall with her parents.
After greeting Mrs. Su, they went back to their room and had dinner. Nangong Yue asked Yimei to fetch her Dayinqin, and went to the garden with Nangong Mu. Nangong Xin yelled that she wanted to go too, but was coaxed down by Mrs. Lin with the newly made dim sum.
The moonlight was shining brightly in the night sky. As soon as the father and daughter walked into the garden, they heard the faint voice of poetry reciting from the direction of the small bamboo forest: "...the river flows round and round Fangdian, and the moon shines on the flowers and forests like hail. Frost flows in the sky. I don’t feel like I’m flying, but I can’t see the white sand on Tingshang. The river and the sky are all the same color without dust, and the moon is alone in the bright sky. Who on the riverside sees the moon for the first time?…”
Looking around, I saw a slender woman wearing a crescent-colored embroidered plum dress standing with her back facing them by the small bamboo forest, reciting poems slowly. Her figure is like a graceful spring flower, swaying in the wind, confusing people's eyes.
Nangong Yue could tell at a glance that Su Qingping was reciting poems pretending to be elegant. Her good mood disappeared in an instant, and the slightly drooping eyelashes concealed the hatred in her eyes.
Su Qingping, who had her back to them, suddenly fell silent, turned her head in "surprise", her face was stained with a blush, and looked at Nangong Mu timidly, "Second Cousin, when are you and Sister Yue here? of?"
"Just arrived." Nangong Mu Wei frowned invisibly, and said alienatedly, "It's our father and daughter who disturbed my cousin's interest."
"Cousin, how can Pinger deal with herself when you say that?" Su Qingping didn't seem to see Nangong Yue, she opened and closed her mouth a few times, pretending to be bold and asked, "Second cousin, Pinger recently I'm learning to compose poetry, but I don't have a clue, so I thought that I might get some inspiration from being there. Can my second cousin give some pointers?"
Nangong Mu was a little impatient, but his words and deeds were still like a gentleman from a family, he said: "This poem... firstly, it is about inspiration, secondly, you need to read more poems to understand the words and artistic conception of those famous masters."
"Thank you, second cousin, for your advice." Su Qingping only felt that Nangong Mu was so patient with her, and she must also think that she was a talent that could be taught, and maybe she had a good impression of her because of her eagerness to learn. So she became more and more shy, "Ping'er will definitely live up to my second cousin's wishes, and I will read more poems and books when I go back!"
Nangong Mu only felt that Cousin Ping not only behaved inappropriately, but even failed to observe words and understand meanings, and he didn't know how the Su family raised her.
Nangong Yue did not hide the displeasure on her face, and said indulgently: "Daddy, didn't you come to teach me how to play the piano?"
"It's Daddy's fault. Daddy will make it up to you." Nangong Mu coaxed his daughter patiently, then cupped his hands to Su Qingping, and said, "There is a difference between men and women. Since my cousin is here to sing poems, I will take Sister Yue with her." I'm going to practice piano elsewhere." He waved to Nangong Yue, and the two turned and left without looking back.
Su Qingping was very annoyed. On this night, in order to look delicate and lovely, she deliberately wore such thin clothes, and waited in the garden shivering for a long time, but she didn't say a few words to Nangong Mu , was unexpectedly called away by Nangong Yue. The more Su Qingping thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She snorted coldly, gritted her teeth bitterly and said, "Wait until I come in, and see how I deal with you!"
Nangong Mu's interest was not disturbed by the inexplicable appearance of Su Qingping, he took Nangong Yue to the courtyard of Jingzheju. One patiently taught and the other patiently learned. After nearly an hour of practice, they went back to Qianyun Courtyard full of enthusiasm. After the family ate the spring toon cakes made by Mrs. Lin himself, they went back to their rooms to rest.
After washing up, Nangong Yue sat by the bed and asked Yimei to dry her hair.
Su Qingping would appear in the garden, definitely not just a random encounter, but a deliberate attempt to create a "random encounter under the moon", could it be... who did she find out about her father's daily whereabouts
Gently tapping the top of the dressing table with her knuckles, Nangong Yue pondered: There are only a few people in the second room who can know her father's whereabouts. It is definitely impossible for her mother and elder brother. Mo Yan, two first-class maids, and father's nanny. Who on earth confided in Su Qingping
If this matter is not investigated clearly, she will have trouble sleeping and eating!
"Magpie."
Que'er was guarding the door, when he heard Nangong Yue's call, he hurried in and said, "Miss San, what do you want to tell your servant?"
"I suspect that something is wrong with Daddy!" Nangong Yue faced the vanity mirror without turning her head and said, "If my predictions are correct, there might be someone around Daddy who was bribed by Su Qingping."
Que'er was startled, and said cautiously: "The third girl means..."
There was a trace of coldness in Nangong Yue's eyes, and she said: "I don't need such a betrayer by my father's side."
Que'er understood what she meant, and hurriedly said: "Third Miss, don't worry, this servant will definitely find that man out."
"I'll leave this to you." Nangong Yue waved her back after a few instructions.
Yimei dried her hair carefully, waited for her to rest, put down the bed curtain, and then quietly retreated.
Nangong Yue closed her eyes, and Su Qingping in her previous life arrogantly entered the door of the second bedroom, which eventually led to her mother's madness and early death, and she has never been able to forgive her father because of this. However, these days, she has watched with her own eyes her father's overtures to Su Qingping, and she doesn't say anything, and even feels a little impatient and annoyed. Nangong Yue believed that she would never be wrong about this, so, what happened in the previous life
Nangong Yue rubbed her brows, and fell asleep after a while.
This time she slept so restlessly that when she woke up in the morning, she was yawning again and again.
But she also figured it out, no matter what happened in the previous life, since fate allowed her to be reborn, she would never let it happen again!
Nangong Yue let go of the burden in her heart, and together with her elder brother Nangong Xin, she happily learned riding and archery from her father Nangong Mu.
And the news that Que'er inquired into her ears continuously...
The time will soon be June 14th, and after this day, Nangong Yue will be eleven years old.
The birthdays of the princes and girls in the mansion are usually celebrated by each house, but because Nangong Yue has recently been named the county head, at the request of the Su family, the Zhao family specially prepared a rich birthday banquet for her.
The banquet was placed in the flower hall. Although it was just a family banquet, it was also very grand.
Mrs. Lin prepared a new dress for Nangong Yue. It was a brocade dress with Yunfei makeup and brocade weaving colors and hundreds of flowers and flying butterflies, and a fine-grained gauze bijia on the outside. He wears a few hibiscus pearls in his hair, gold leaf earrings inlaid with precious stones on his ears, and a pair of white jade bracelets with twisted silk pattern bestowed by the queen on his hands.
Lin looked at her daughter who was dressed up, and couldn't help showing pride: "My sister Yue is really looking better and better!"
"Of course my younger sister is the prettiest!" Nangong Xin interjected unwillingly.
There was pity in Lin's eyes, and her memory seemed to be still in the powdery ball in the swaddling baby. In a blink of an eye, her daughter was already eleven years old, and she was about to say someone's age... In a few days, she It was time to start preparing her dowry.
Thinking of this, Lin's heart was full of reluctance, as if her daughter would marry off at any time.
"Mother?"
When Lin came back to her senses, she saw her son and daughter staring at her with wide-open clear eyes, which made her feel soft. She stroked the hair of the two children and said, "Let's go."
Not long after, Nangong Mu came back from the Imperial Forest Courtyard, and the family of four went to the Flower Hall together.
People from other rooms also arrived one after another. Finally, Mrs. Su sat on a soft sedan chair and was carried by the women.
After paying respects, Mrs. Su sat on the main seat, and the others also returned to their seats one by one.
Seeing that Nangong Yue was dressed up in a rare costume, Nangong Cheng couldn't help admiring: "Sister Yue is really beautiful today."
Nangong Yue responded decently: "Big sister is too much."
"My sister is beautiful, beautiful!" Nangong Xin clapped her hands and praised, "Like a little fairy in the sky."
Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother, you are a prince who sells melons, so you should boast about yourself."
"It's not exaggerating!" Nangong Lin said sourly, "Now the third sister is the dignified county lord. Compared with us ordinary people, isn't she a fairy in the sky?"
Nangong Yue's eyes fell on Nangong Lin like lightning, and she said with a smile that was not a smile: "Since that's the case, why don't you see Fourth Younger Sister paying respects to me, the majestic second-rank county head?"
Nangong Lin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing Su's cold glance at her, Nan Gonglin shrank her neck and remained silent.
After all, Mrs. Zhao is also the wife of a family. On such occasions, she naturally would not show any inappropriateness. She smoothed things over and said: "Although Sister Yue is the royal county head, she is also a girl of our Nangong family. In one generation, now there are only four of you sisters, and you have been in a happy relationship since you were young, so you can't be alienated just because Sister Yue won the title of County Lord."
"Follow your mother's teachings."
"Follow the teachings of my aunt."
The four girls stood up together, blessed Mrs. Zhao, and then sat down.
"Today is our sister Yue's birthday..." Su Shi looked at her lovingly, for this granddaughter who brought glory to the Nangong family, Su Shi became more and more fond of her, "This is your birthday present from grandma!"
The maid serving behind Su Shi held a white jade hollowed-out flower and bird to cover her temples. It is of high quality and exquisitely carved, so it is obviously very valuable. Nangong Yue hurriedly took it with both hands, saluted and said: "Yue'er thanked grandma."
Mrs. Su took the lead, followed by her uncle Nangong Qin who gave her a piece of ink, and her aunt Zhao who gave her a pair of earrings made of jade rabbit pounding medicine, and then her father Nangong Mu who gave her an isolated copy of a collection of poems -- "Shu Yuji" ", suddenly attracted a lot of envious eyes.
This gold and silver jewelry is easy to get, but the precious rare copy is hard to find.
This "Shu Yu Ji" is a collection of poems written by the female poet Song Yuci, who was famous among literati all over the world a hundred years ago, and it is also the only copy written by her.
Song Yuci wrote countless poems in his life and wrote several collections of poems. Later, because of the war, many poems were buried in the long river of the times. Most of the noble and talented women in Wangdu like Song Yuci and her early elegant style of writing. Few people like her voice of mourning in her later years after experiencing the chaos of war. And "Shu Yu Ji" is a collection of her poems in her later years, written by herself. How precious!
Nangong Yue was naturally overjoyed to receive such an orphan copy, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Daddy." Her eyes were smiling like crescent moons.
Then, the elders of the Lin family, the third bedroom, and the fourth bedroom also gave gifts one by one... When it was Nangong Xin's turn, he said impatiently, "Is it my turn? Now it's my turn."
Nangong Yue smiled and stretched out her hands to Nangong Xin, and said mischievously, "Brother, don't bring your gift here yet."
Nangong Xin triumphantly took out a wooden box and handed it to Nangong Yue, "This is my gift! Open it quickly!" Seeing his appearance, she really wanted to open the box for Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue deliberately and slowly opened the wooden box. There was no precious jewelry in the box, nor was there any pen, ink, paper or inkstone, but a small wooden carving.
Nangong Yue picked up the wood carving with a smile, and looked it over carefully. Although the workmanship of this wood carving is not very delicate, it is lifelike, obviously it took a lot of effort.
The wood carving shows a beautiful girl holding a small white cat and sitting on a big black dog.
"It's me, and there are Xiaobai and Dahei." Nangong Yue held the wooden carving in love with her, and looked up at Nangong Xin, but she saw Nangong Xin looking at her nervously and said: "Yes, Does my sister like it?" As he spoke, he unconsciously rubbed his hands twice.
Nangong Yue noticed a few thin scars on Nangong Xin's fingers with sharp eyes, nodded vigorously and said: "I like it, I like it very much, thank you brother!" This is carved by her brother himself, how could she not like!
Next, the sisters presented their presents one by one, most of which were purses and silk flowers. Even Liu Qingqing also presented a sachet made by herself, and Nangong Yue accepted them one by one with a smile.
In the end, it was Su Qingping's turn again. She dawdled for a long time with a troubled expression on her face. This embarrassed look made everyone a little suspicious, thinking that she forgot to prepare a gift.
Just when Mrs. Zhao was about to turn the situation around, Su Qingping shyly took out a collection of poems.
Everyone was startled, and for a moment, the flower hall was silent.
There was no smile on Nangong Yue's face, and her eyes were as cold as ice and snow in winter.
Su Qingping's birthday gift is a collection of poems, a collection of poems written by Song Yuci when she was young - "Chunsheng Collection"! This "Chunsheng Collection" is not Song Yuci's handwritten book, but a printed copy that is common on the market, so Not really precious.
It's just that this is too much of a coincidence...
"It's such a coincidence. Sister Yue and I gave a similar birthday gift to my aunt last time. I didn't expect to choose Song Yuci's poetry collection for Sister Yue this time like my second cousin." , Su Qingping secretly looked at Nangong Mu, feeling like a deer scurrying around in her heart, she couldn't help herself. "It's just that, although my "Chunsheng Collection" is the first printed copy left by the previous dynasty, it is not as precious as the second cousin's unique copy written by Song Yuci himself."
Nangong Mu said lightly: "I didn't expect my cousin to like Song Yuci as much as Sister Yue."
Su Qingping showed shyness on her face, her bright eyes seemed to be full of spring water, and her eyes were rippling, she secretly glanced at Nangong Mu with a timid look.
"Thank you, Cousin Ping."
Nangong Yue blessed her body, and took the "Chun Sheng Ji" with joy on her face, even though it was still on the table, she couldn't put it down and flipped through it. Just after turning two pages, she suddenly screamed "Ah", and the "Chunsheng Collection" in her hand fell to the ground.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that Nangong Yue was stunned, with crystal tears rolling in her eye sockets.
"Sister Yue!"
The people around didn't know what happened. Nangong Cheng, who was sitting on the left side of Nangong Yue, lowered his body and picked up the "Chunsheng Ji". Just as she was about to hand it back to Nangong Yue, her face suddenly changed, as if she was holding something dirty. As if, he threw out the collection of poems in his hand.
The gift that she had painstakingly selected was treated like this! Su Qingping's anger rose, her face showed a look of grievance, and she looked at Nangong Mu timidly with her beautiful eyes.
But Nangong Mu ignored her, but stared at the ground with a gloomy expression. Su Qingping was a little strange, and followed his gaze. I saw that the pages of the thrown out "Chun Sheng Ji" were scattered and fell on the ground, among which were a few erotic pictures!
The girls at the banquet covered their eyes one after another, not daring to look at it, while Mrs. Lin hugged her frightened daughter tightly, looked at Su Qingping angrily, and said in a cold voice: "Cousin Ping, what does this mean?"
"I, I..." Su Qingping looked suspicious, her face turned pale and then red, red and then white, and she said with a pale face, "I don't know... I didn't give it to you!"
"Didn't you give this?" Lin's face did not show the gentleness of Suri, and she said sharply, "Isn't this from "Chunsheng Ji"? What kind of heart do you have to give such a thing to, Give… "
If Sister Yue did not look through them during the banquet, but brought them back to the room, once these erotic pictures in the collection of poems were found in the room of a girl who was not out of the boudoir, it would not be a way for her daughter to survive!
Su Qingping hurriedly argued: "Second Cousin, this really has nothing to do with me, and I don't know why..."
"It has nothing to do with you?" Lin laughed angrily, "You gave this thing to Sister Yue in front of so many people, and Sister Yue opened it in front of us. You said it has nothing to do with you, Did it appear out of nowhere?"
"I… "
Thinking of her own daughter seeing such dirty things just now, Mrs. Zhao became furious and said softly, "Cousin Ping, you, a young lady who has not yet left the cabinet, actually like this kind of thing."
Su Qingping choked up, which lady would like "erotic pictures"?! Mrs. Zhao's words not only confirmed that the erotic pictures belonged to her, but also undermined her reputation.
"Biaogu Ping." Nangong Yue raised her head from Lin's arms, her eyes were still full of tears, and she said in a blurred way, "Yue'er knows that you are still blaming Yue'er for what happened last time, but ,Dad already promised Yue'er to teach Yue'er to play the piano that day... "
As soon as these words came out, all the people present had weird expressions on their faces, and their scrutinizing eyes fell on Su Qingping.
Su Qingping never expected that Nangong Yue would tell the story of that night in front of so many people, she was impatient, and blurted out: "Sister Yue, you are too presumptuous in front of the elders! Today I... "
"Cousin Ping." Mrs. Lin interrupted her coldly, "Sister Yue's grandmother, parents and elder brother are all present, so I won't allow a cousin like you to teach her a lesson!"
"Enough!" Su, who had been sitting silently at the top, finally spoke, looking at Nangong Yue with deep eyes, without any fluctuation in her voice, "Sister Yue, tell me, what happened last time? "
"Grandmother..."
"Mother, let's talk about it with the son." Nangong Mu stood up. At this time, as a man, how could he let his daughter and wife come forward. Seeing that he didn't look at Su Qingping, he said bluntly, "After dinner that day, I took sister Yue to the garden to practice piano, and happened to meet cousin Ping who was reciting poems in the small bamboo forest. Cousin Ping wanted to learn to compose poems. I asked my son to point out one or two, but men and women are different after all, and it is at night, so it would be inconvenient, so my son never agreed."
These words are much clearer than Nangong Yue's vague remarks just now, but they are also more arousing.
night…
encounter...
reciting poetry
"Lonely man and widow"...
Those few words alone are enough to make one's imagination run wild.
Su Qingping's shamelessness made Lin's face turn red, her chest heaved unceasingly, and she couldn't speak a word for a long time.
Su's complexion was also not good-looking, and he shouted with a sullen face: "Sister Ping!"
"Aunt..." Su Qingping had no idea how things would turn out like this. For a moment, she didn't even know how to react, so she could only murmur, "That day Ping'er didn't know that second cousin would go to the garden, and second cousin My elder brother is outstanding in learning, Ping'er had the idea of asking my second cousin to give me some advice, but I didn't think much about it..."
"Mother!" Mrs. Zhao finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Daughter-in-law sees that Cousin Ping's illness is still not fully recovered, why not..." This Su Qingping made a "pregnancy" scandal first, and now she is so shameless, who knows what will happen in the future? What else will happen. I have a daughter, how can I let her ruin the reputation of Nangong Mansion?! It's better to send her to Zhuangzi to fend for herself!
Su Shi slowly turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, she naturally understood Zhao Shi's meaning, but...
"Aunt, you believe in Ping'er, Ping'er is really... Ping'er is really innocent, Auntie!" Su Qingping knelt down and said with teary eyes, "Ping'er has always followed my aunt's teachings and never dared to It has ruined the reputation of the Su family! Auntie, you must trust Pinger..."
The reputation of the Su family... Mrs. Su's heart shuddered, and she cast her eyes on Mrs. Zhao like lightning, thinking: Sister Ping is the eldest daughter of the Su family and her own niece. What does Mrs. Zhao mean by this? Doesn't the family teach girls
Su's gaze and voice slowed down, and said: "Sister Ping, my aunt knows that you are eager to learn, but you can't disturb your second cousin without knowing the time and place."
Su's words can be regarded as defining Su Qingping's behavior: studious! This studious is much better than seducing my cousin shamelessly...
"It's... aunt." Seeing that the Su family's reputation was mentioned, the Su family immediately defended herself, Su Qingping breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied, "Ping'er won't be in the future."
Mrs. Zhao was dissatisfied, and was about to speak when she received a cold glance from Mrs. Su. Mrs. Zhao was angry and annoyed, and because of her filial piety, she could only swallow her words.
However, she could swallow it, but some people couldn't, so Nangong Mu said coldly: "Mother, can Sister Yue's reputation be ruined for nothing?!"
The "private meeting" on a moonlit night can be vaguely past, but this picture of the erotic palace is clearly in front of your eyes.
The more Nangong Mu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he said without a doubt: "Mother must give her son an explanation for this matter!"
Seeing her own son disobeying her so much, Su said angrily, "Second child!"
"Mother." At this time, Nangong Qin also spoke. He also understood Su's temperament, and said patiently, "Sister Yue is the second-rank county head personally appointed by the emperor. Regardless of whether this... this thing is related to Ping It is related to my cousin, but now it is indeed taken from the hands of cousin Ping. The dignity of the royal family cannot be tarnished in any way."
Hearing this, the Su family also calmed down, yes... County lord, this sister Yue is a majestic county lord. Everyone present saw this erotic picture, and they couldn't be confused at all.
This sister Ping is too careless to act the truth!
Su Qingping observed the words and expressions, secretly called something wrong, and said hurriedly and innocently: "Aunt, it's all Pinger's fault. After Pinger bought this "Chunsheng Collection", she gave it to sister Yue before she had time to read it. It's Ping'er who is too negligent... Auntie please punish me!" At this point, Su Qingping realized that it was impossible for her to escape unscathed, so she resolutely blamed all the faults on the bookseller, and she only had to worry about it. A small crime of "overseeing".
"Sister Ping, you are indeed too negligent." Su sighed and said, "You really don't know, so I will punish you to come to the small Buddha Hall every afternoon to kneel down and copy scriptures for two hours." Su Shi knew that the punishment was a little light, so he could only add, "Besides, if you have nothing to do in the future, don't leave your yard."
Isn't this just grounding in disguise? Su Qingping was dumbfounded at once... But Su Shi waved her hand irresistibly, Su Qingping could only endure it.
With this episode, the birthday party became dull and ended hastily.
Feeling that she owed her daughter a little, she cooked longevity noodles for her after returning to Qianyun Courtyard. After the whole family gathered together and ate lively, Nangong Xin and Nangong Yue went back to their rooms.
Nangong Yue didn't care about the birthday banquet Su specially prepared for her, but it was worth taking advantage of this opportunity to make Su Qingping suffer a small loss.
After the "encounter" that night, she asked Que'er to find out who was helping Su Qingping spread the news, but the result surprised her a bit. It turned out that Su Qingping actually asked her maid Liu Rong to approach her father's servant, Mo Yan, on purpose, and she got out of her father's whereabouts from him overtly and covertly.
After finding out this point, Nangong Yue did not act rashly, but patiently waited for this good opportunity.
It was also thanks to Lily and Baihui that Guan Yubai had found for her. With these two excellent maids, it was really easy to put a few pictures of erotic palaces into "Chun Sheng Ji" without anyone noticing.
Everything is waiting for today!
After all this time, Su Qingping's dark intentions towards her father have been clearly revealed. In this mansion, except for the Su family, she may not be able to rely on anyone else.
Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, she believed that Su Qingping would never settle down, and she would not give up easily either!
This time, she will get back all the debts from her past and present lives!
At this time, the night was already deep, the moonlight was hazy, and only the crisp insects sounded intermittently.
Nangong Yue was in a good mood, and was about to play the piano to the moon, but suddenly heard a shrill cat cry from outside the window: "Meow-woo!"
Nangong Yue frowned, Xiaobai's cry was usually lazy and arrogant, only when it was scratching its hair in anger, it would make such a scream.
"noob!"
Nangong Yue poked her head out of the window while calling it's name, but she saw Baihui first. Baihui's expression was very stiff and delicate... Nangong Yue was about to ask her what happened, but she saw a person behind Baihui. The young man in white walked out from a blind spot in her field of vision, holding a white cat in his hands. The moonlight was like a silver gauze. Picture, but the white cat is very uncooperative, struggling desperately in the boy's hands, wishing to scratch the boy's face as if he had met you... But the boy in white is not a weak girl, no matter how the kitten Fighting to the death with him, also unable to get away.
Baihui reported in a slightly blunt voice: "Third Miss, Xiao Shizi is here..." Until now, Baihui is finally sure that it must be Xiao Shizi who knocked herself and Baihe unconscious last year!... Is this Xiao Shizi worthy of his name? , or is it not worthy of the name? It is rumored that Xiao Yi, the eldest son of the Zhennan Palace, is arrogant and has no sense of being a father. Now it seems that this dandy is true. If it is not a dandy, which aristocratic son would secretly visit a girl in the middle of the night Boudoir! But...
I have never heard anyone mention that his martial arts are so unpredictable!
This rumor is clearly not to be believed!
Baihui only mentioned the matter of Prince Xiao with her younger sister Baihe, and they also wondered whether they should report the matter to the prince...but in the end the two sisters decided to avoid it. After all, their master is the third girl now!
In the blink of an eye, Baihui was already thinking about it, but Nangong Yue didn't know, her attention was all on Xiao Yi, she couldn't help frowning, thinking: Why is he here
Nangong Yue waved her hands, signaling Baihui to go down first, and then said: "Why are you here?" Her gaze rested on Xiao Yi's injured left shoulder before, and she thought: It seems that the injury is almost healed.
"Of course I..." Xiao Yi was about to present the treasure, when he suddenly thought of something, his tone changed, and he complained pitifully, "Stinky girl, you are too incompetent as a doctor! It's been more than two months, and I didn't expect Come check me out!"
"..." Nangong Yue looked at him speechlessly. Xiao Yi's injury during the spring hunting was indeed quite serious, but it was a traumatic injury. As long as the wound was treated properly at that time and the injury was stabilized, then it will be taken care of slowly, not to mention , the emperor was so nervous about his injury that he specially sent Tai Physician Wu to follow up from time to time, so it was her turn.
However, Nangong Yue did not argue with him, she just said: "Stretch out your left wrist."
The implication is to help him find out.
Xiao Yi immediately smiled, happily resting his wrist on the window frame.
This action of his finally allowed Xiao Bai to find a chance to break free from Xiao Yi's shackles, and saw it lightly leaping over the window and gracefully landing on the corner of Nangong Yue's skirt without making a sound.
"Meow." It rubbed against Nangong Yue coquettishly, raised its head and looked at her unblinkingly with green cat eyes, as if complaining.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but secretly stared at Xiaobai, feeling sour in his heart, but Nangong Yue was secretly amused, suddenly felt that this person and cat were somewhat similar.
Nangong Yue put three fingers on Xiao Yi's wrist, and slightly curled the corners of her mouth in satisfaction at an angle that Xiao Yi couldn't see. His pulse is vigorous and strong, he is indeed a teenage boy, and he is a martial arts practitioner, his physical fitness is excellent, and he has recovered by 80% or 90% in the past two months.
Nangong Yue quickly withdrew her hand, but deliberately shook her head and sighed: "It's not good! It's not good!"
Xiao Yi naturally knew that his injury was almost healed. Seeing what Nangong Yue said, he was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Stinky girl, since my injury is so bad, then I I come to you every night, you come and help me cure, okay?"
Nangong Yue originally wanted to scare him, but she didn't expect him to react like this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
This dude really takes it as his duty to make people angry!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, she pointed at Xiao Yi's nose angrily, and said to Xiao Bai at her feet: "Xiao Bai, bite him!"
"Meow--"
Xiaobai understood his name, looked at the master cutely, and rubbed against the master again, the action was very cute...
For a moment, there was silence all around, and even the insects seemed to feel the awkward atmosphere and dared not make a sound.
Xiao Yi almost laughed out loud. For the first time, he felt that this stupid cat wasn't too annoying. Maybe he could bring it some small dried fish as a snack next time.
Seeing that Nangong Yue was depressed, Xiao Yi hurriedly comforted him: "Smelly girl, today is your eleventh birthday, I specially prepared a gift for you, it is definitely worth a thousand dollars, you will definitely like it!"
"Such a big deal?" Nangong Yue said casually, but she didn't take it seriously. This King of Zhennan is a vassal king, he is indeed wealthy, but Xiao Yi is only a son, and he is a son who is not welcomed by his father. Although he has rewards from the emperor, most of them can only be used by himself. You can't just transfer the items to others or sell them off. As far as she knows, Xiao Yi's son's money may not be as rich as her girl's family.
"Smelly girl, don't you believe it?" Xiao Yi moved his face closer unconvinced, deliberately lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his flamboyance and said, "Smelly girl, let me tell you a secret! It turns out that grandfather not only kept Cheng Yu and the others Gave it to me, and prepared a lot of good things for me, not to mention those shops, the most important thing is that there are two mine veins in it.” The importance of this mine vein is self-evident, saying that it is A hen that lays golden eggs is no exaggeration!
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, an inexplicable worry surfaced in her heart, but Xiao Yi didn't realize it yet, and said incessantly: "Stinky girl, I can be said to be as rich as an enemy now, if you want something, Just tell me." He puffed out his chest, triumphantly.
Nangong Yue felt more and more wrong. In Xiao Yi's previous life, he didn't have the help left by his grandfather, let alone this huge sum of money. Maybe it was just like this that made him a tenacious character and became the killing god who could turn rain and clouds. But in this life, because of his own Existence, Xiao Yi's fate has changed... If because of this, Xiao Yi becomes a mediocre second-generation ancestor in the end, then am I helping him or harming him
Nangong Yue's eyes were half downcast, and there was some complexity in her eyes. When she raised her eyes, she had already changed her expression, and sighed with admiration: "The old Zhennan King is indeed wise and powerful, with a gentle and martial strategy, resourceful and foresight, no wonder he helped the late emperor to lay down this great land! It's a pity that I was not born twenty years earlier, otherwise I would have had the opportunity to meet his old man!"
Xiao Yi nodded repeatedly at first, feeling quite proud, but the more Nangong Yue said, the more he felt that it seemed a little weird... He felt very uncomfortable. He pursed his lips, and said in a blunt tone: "Stinky girl, do you think I'm not as good as my grandfather?"
Nangong Yue looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said innocently: "Don't blame me, when did I say that!"
Xiao Yi didn't speak for a while, when Nangong Yue almost thought that he was going to throw up his sleeves and leave in anger, he heard him say: "Stinky girl, let's make a bet?" Before Nangong Yue could answer, he continued , "Even if I don't rely on the money left by my grandfather, I can earn 10,000 taels of gold within a year, do you believe it or not?" He looked at Nangong Yue confidently, his bright eyes seemed to be shining.
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, and said casually: "Then I'll wait and see!"
"Stinky girl, don't worry, I won't let you down." Xiao Yi shot without warning, patted Nangong Yue's hair lightly, and then turned around to leave... But when he turned around, he thought again What, turned around again, took out a sandalwood box carved with lotus patterns from nowhere, and put it on the window frame, "I almost forgot, brat, this is my birthday present for you." After finishing speaking , he strode away chicly.
After Nangong Yue watched his back leave, she looked down at the sandalwood box, opened it, and found a book inside, the paper was yellow, and it looked very old.
Nangong Yue flipped through a few pages and was stunned. She didn't come back to her senses for a while...
After a long time, she raised her eyes and looked in the direction Xiao Yi left again. The birthday present he gave her turned out to be the long-lost "Book of Herbal Medicine"!
This "Collecting Grass Medicine" is just waste paper to ordinary people, but to her as a doctor, it is like the most precious treasure. "Collecting Grass and Medical Classics" is a notebook written by the miracle doctor Jiuyao old man three hundred years ago. It records his experience in practicing medicine for many years and many secret recipes.
It's a pity, because of the master's notes, the disciple of the old man Jiuyao had evil thoughts in his heart, and actually plotted against his master, and the whereabouts of the "Book of Picking up Grass and Medicine" were also unknown...
Unexpectedly, three hundred years later, it would be in Xiao Yi's hands and given to himself!
It is easy to give an expensive gift, but it is not easy to give a gift that suits the other party's wishes! Xiao Yi is right, for her, this gift is indeed worth a thousand gold!
Nangong Yue couldn't calm down for a long time...
Not only Nangong Yue's mood fluctuated, but Xiao Yi's mood was actually not as calm and confident as he showed.
Making money is easy to say, but it's not that easy!
Since he was born, he has been the majestic son of Zhennan Prince, even if his father doesn't like him, but in order to flatter and kill him, Xiao Fang always gave him whatever he wanted since he was a child. For him, gold and silver things came too easily, so he never took it to heart... until now!
Xiao Yi was running fast on the deserted street, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and the cool night wind was blowing on his cheeks, but he couldn't calm down his heart.
hateful!
He knew that what the smelly girl said was right, he was indeed inferior to his grandfather! His grandfather was born in a poor family, but he helped the late emperor to conquer the world and win the position of hereditary prince, but what about him? What did he have
If there is no grandfather...with nothing but himself, how can he fight Xiaofang, or even his father
Xiao Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, calmed down quickly, and had some thoughts in his mind. The first thing he should think about is what he has, and what kind of help these can give him...
He smiled thoughtfully, and strode towards the Zhennan Palace.
This night, Xiao Yi slept very soundly. As soon as it was dawn, he got up, called Zhu Zhu and gave some instructions, and then went to the practice room for morning exercises.
After practicing kung fu for two hours, taking a bath again, and having breakfast, Xiao Yi went to the most famous restaurant in Wangdu - Guiyun Pavilion.
This Guiyun Pavilion has been in the capital for more than 20 years. It was built by the emperor's uncle Prince Shun. Once completed, it will be the most magnificent restaurant in the capital. Because of Prince Shun's status, this The restaurant soon became one of the favorite places for the royal nobles, court officials and children of aristocratic families in the royal capital.
Even though the food and drinks inside are expensive, it’s still hard to find one!
On this day, the entire Guiyuan Pavilion was occupied by people. In the elegant seats on the second floor, several musicians played the music of silk and bamboo, and four stunning dancers danced gracefully. The guests are served with fine wine and food, and even the utensils are unbelievably exquisite.
Young masters in brocade clothes sat lazily at the wine table, drinking fine wine, enjoying music and dancing, and whispering to each other from time to time.
Tian Lianhe, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the fascinated looks of his friends, and couldn't help but feel complacent. It was really wise for him to spend a lot of money to buy Guiyuan Pavilion this time.
He was about to drink, when a frivolous voice followed a familiar figure at the entrance of the private seat: "Little Hehe, when did you go back to the capital? You invited so many friends to play in Guiyuan Pavilion, and you didn't even invite me!" ! How should I punish you?"
It was Xiao Yi who came.
This Tian Lianhe is the third son of the Zhenbei General's Mansion. Since Xiao Yi came to the capital, he often hang out with Tian Lianhe and others. Until the beginning of the year, Tian Lianhe went out for a trip, and he just returned to the capital recently.
The surrounding musicians still continued to play clear and melodious music without any influence, but the originally noisy wine table suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were focused on the person who came.
A young master on the right side of Tian Lianhe was furious, and said, "This Guiyuan Pavilion is too outrageous, it actually puts all kinds of things..."
"Brother Li, you're drunk!" Tian Lianhe interrupted him rudely, and said to the bodyguard behind him, "Yuan Wu, don't help Mr. Li go down to rest!" Give Mr. Li a chance to react, and the guard Yuan Wu really picked up Mr. Li with one hand and took him down forcefully...
The other young masters on the side also didn't make a sound, I just felt that this young master Li was so ignorant that he didn't even know this great devil king! Although he was new here, it was understandable that he didn't know anyone, but he didn't If you figure out who the other party is, you are stupid to open your mouth! If you encounter this person in the future, you should avoid it!
Poor Mr. Li didn't even know that he was already notorious when he arrived in the capital, and he was excluded from the circle of princes and nobles.
Tian Lianhe first made a gesture to signal the musician to suspend the music, then raised his glass with a smile, and said: "It is indeed my fault, I will punish myself with three glasses." Down, indicating that there is no more wine left.
After Tian Lianhe put the wine glass on the table, he strode forward to Xiao Yi, and patted him on the shoulder familiarly, "Brother, it's not that I don't invite you, but I heard that you are recuperating recently. I am even more concerned about your injury, how dare I invite you to drink? I thought to visit again in a few days, but this is good, you came by yourself! Come and sit down, let's have a few drinks together!"
Several other young masters also stood up and said one after another: "That's right, big brother, we dare not disturb your recovery!"
"Today is a rare and great opportunity, we won't go home without getting drunk!"
"..."
Xiao Yi, the son of the Prince of Zhennan, is definitely a well-known figure in the dude circle in the capital. He is arrogant and self-willed, he does whatever he wants, and he acts entirely according to his own likes and dislikes. many people. How could the pampered and pampered young masters have ever been so angry, they secretly colluded together, and wanted to teach him a good lesson... But who knows, they were all beaten to the ground before Xiao Yi was beaten to the ground, and they were almost picked up Bare clothes hung at the gate of the city.
After this battle, these young masters are completely convinced! Xiao Yi's force value is already against the sky, and it is clear that fighting against him is asking for a fight!
These sons don't know what it means to be unyielding in martial arts, and beg for mercy collectively if they can bend and stretch. Regardless of their age, they all recognize Xiao Yi as a big brother. From then on, Xiao Yi has become a character at the level of a big devil in the dude circle!
Xiao Yi looked around half a circle, fixed his eyes on Chen Quying who was still sitting there drinking, his eyes flashed, and he said angrily: "Chen Quying, didn't your father tell you to go to the Imperial College to study? How dare you play truant and hide here?" lazy!"
Chen Quying drank half a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Ah Yi, you are really ignorant, the Imperial College has a day off for half a month, okay?" Among these people, probably only Chen Quying, who has the best relationship with Xiao Yi, dared to call Xiao Yi. Yi called A Yi, and talked to him so casually.
A skinny young man who was sitting next to Chen Quying hurriedly moved aside, flatteringly said: "Brother, sit here!" He also graciously helped Xiao Yi pull the chair to a suitable position.
Xiao Yi was not polite to him either, he sat down loudly, and casually said to everyone: "Why are you all standing? Sit down."
Only then did the others sit down, all of them sitting upright, quite different from the casual and casual look before.
Xiao Yi naturally seemed to come out, but he didn't care, and said straight to the point: "I have something to ask everyone for help today."
Help? Everyone was a little dumbfounded for a moment, wondering if their ears were hallucinating, and couldn't help but look at each other.
After a pause, Xiao Yi continued: "I need to earn a large sum of money in the shortest possible time!"
Everyone became more and more suspicious that they were not daydreaming, and some even secretly squeezed their thighs. No one knew that the Zhennan Palace was so rich that even the current emperor was jealous. The elder son of the Eight Classics actually wants to make money by himself
Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost
But they only dared to think in their hearts, but none of them dared to ask. The skinny young man who gave up his seat just now said cautiously: "Brother, are you short of money recently, and you still have a few thousand taels of silver with you..."
When he said this, the others rushed to say: "Brother, although the family is tightly controlled, I can still afford five hundred taels."
"Brother, I have a thousand taels here, you can use it!"
"..."
Not to mention whether they are bleeding in their hearts, but on the surface, each of them is very righteous.
Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction, and then said to a certain boy who was serving him, "Go get the pen and ink."
"Yes, young master." The boy immediately withdrew after responding.
Everyone exchanged glances again, thinking that Xiao Yi was going to write an IOU, Tian Lianhe was the first to say: "Brother, don't be so troublesome, can we still not trust you?"
Xiao Yi shook his finger and said: "Brothers will settle accounts clearly, not to mention doing business in partnership! Whoever invested in this must be recorded, so that we can share dividends in the future!"
Doing business in partnership? Dividends? Everyone was dumbfounded again. Didn’t he ask them to borrow money? How did he become a business partnership? It’s only natural to pay debts, but if the business fails, the money will be wasted!
Everyone felt pain again. Tian Lianhe asked cautiously: "Brother, why did you suddenly think of pulling us into the business?"
Xiao Yi hadn't answered yet, but Chen Quying turned the white porcelain cup in his hand and said suddenly: "A Yi, you won't bet with others again, right?"
When he said this, those sons and brothers suddenly realized that Xiao Yi's hobby of betting is well-known in the circle, and even they were forced to bet with him several times. Everyone looked at Chen Quying with admiration, and felt that he really understood the big brother's mind best.
Xiao Yi nodded, "I bet with others that I will earn 10,000 taels of gold within a year! But I can't rely on the power of Zhennan Palace..."
Ten thousand taels of gold!
Everyone was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, and the surroundings were silent. This ten thousand taels of gold is a huge sum beyond their imagination. I am afraid that even their family may not be able to come up with such a sum!
After a brief shock, they took it for granted. With Xiao Yi's temper, it is not unusual to make such a bet with others, or it is in line with his personality of doing whatever he wants.
only…
Why use their money to bet!
These sons and brothers who hadn't suffered much setbacks were wailing in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on the face, lest they would be hated by the big devil!
When the boy brought the pen and ink, Chen Quying took the pen and wrote down everyone's name and silver tael, and then asked them to draw a deposit as proof, Xiao Yi kept a copy, and everyone else kept a copy.
Xiao Yi was satisfied, but the others were no longer in the mood to drink and listen to music, and left dejectedly one by one, feeling angry at Tian Lianhe, who was the host.
