"shut up!"
Old Mr. Fang endured and endured, he couldn't take it anymore, and interrupted Fourth Old Mr. Fang sharply.
For the sake of the Fang family? ! The fourth brother said it nicely.
Adoptive heirs are for the good of the Fang family, and even being given to the Ayisai people is for the good of the Fang family... Using the Fang family as an excuse, try to think of dirty things!
Mrs. Fang made a sarcastic smile, with cold and sharp eyes, and said bluntly: "Fourth brother, I am very satisfied with my grandson and daughter-in-law. If you come to see me just to say these things, please come back." He Immediately issued a eviction order!
The old man Fang Si's face was not very good-looking, he didn't understand such a simple and clear truth at all, how could the eldest brother not understand it! ... Could it be because of the stupid things that Sanfang did before, because he was afraid of Ah Yi's displeasure
The Fourth Old Master Fang took a deep breath, and said again: "Brother, I have no intention of touching the concubine. The concubine is a marriage gift from the emperor, and her position is stable. But Ah Yi is getting older, so there can't be only one concubine by his side, right?" Sooner or later, we will accept the side concubine. What's wrong with accepting the girl from our Fang family? The girl raised by our concubine is well-educated, gentle and demure, how can it be compared to the girl raised by the concubine like the third bedroom? Wait ah Yi came back and tried to arrange for them to meet..."
"Come here! See off the guests!" Old Master Fang raised his voice. Listening to it any more, it just polluted his own ears.
Two guards immediately walked into the room, looking at Mr. Fang Si and his party with cold faces.
Old Master Fang Si's face was as deep as water, and he wanted to say something. At this time, the middle-aged man beside him smiled and said: "Father, I think uncle is not feeling well. Let's say goodbye today."
Old Master Fang Si calmed down a bit, finally swallowed his words, and echoed: "Brother, I will visit you again when you get better..." Anyway, they will stay in Luoyue City for a while, and there are still plenty of opportunities.
Old Master Fang Si clasped his fists together, and angrily took the middle-aged man and the boy away together.
Watching their backs gradually go away, Mrs. Fang sighed a long time, with a tired look on his face.
At this time, a young maidservant in Tsing Yi walked into the room quickly, bowed her knees and said: "Old Master, Miss Que'er from Shi Zifei's side came here just now. Seeing that you have guests here, I left first."
Hearing that Nangong Yue had sent someone over, Mrs. Fang raised her brows, a little smile appeared in her eyes, her expression became lighter, and she hurriedly ordered the little maid to invite her.
After a while, the little maid came in with Nangong Yue. She was wearing a gold-threaded peach red makeup gown, her thick black hair was tied up with a simple bra, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she smiled softly.
Old Master Fang couldn't help being infected with a smile, and after Nangong Yue saluted, he hurriedly asked her to sit down beside her.
After the little maid quickly served hot tea, Nangong Yue gave Que'er a look, and Que'er complied with sending out all the other maids serving in the room, and stood guard under the eaves.
Seeing Nangong Yue dismissing her subordinates, Mrs. Fang also guessed that she must have something important to say, and she was still a little nervous, worried that she would know about the dirty things that Mrs. Fang and the others just said.
His expression froze for a moment, and then Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Grandfather, I have some good news for you..." Nangong Yue gave a brief account of Xiao Yi's great victory ahead.
Hearing that his grandson Xiao Yi had taken back two cities in succession, Old Master Fang was so overjoyed that he narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said repeatedly: "Okay! Ah Yi is brave and good at fighting, he really has the style of his ancestors!" There are sons like this , What a blessing in southern Xinjiang! It is his blessing to have a grandson like this!
At this moment, Old Master Fang completely forgot about the unhappiness brought by Fourth Old Master Fang and the others.
Seeing the old man's happy face, Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Ah Yi was able to take Yongjia City and Yanding City so smoothly this time, thanks to the iron mines, God Arm Camp and those Liannu that your grandfather gave you so quickly Come in handy."
Nangong Yue's remarks were partly to make Mrs. Fang happy, but more of them came from the heart.
Since the establishment of Dayu, most of the mine veins have gradually been brought under the hands of the emperor and the court, that is, southern Xinjiang. Because it is under the rule of the vassal king, the court has no room to intervene, so the Fang family who owns most of the mine veins in southern Xinjiang Only with the support of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion can everything be safe and the two mansions benefit from each other.
If Xiao Yi wants to obtain enough iron ore to make iron arrows, only the Fang family and King Zhennan can help.
Although the relationship with King Zhennan is relatively harmonious recently, Nangong Yue is still very embarrassed when it comes to military affairs. It is also thanks to the iron ore purchased from Fang's family, and the mine given by my grandfather...
Old Master Fang was in a more cheerful mood, and said cheerfully: "When Ah Yi comes back, then I will ask him to give me a credit."
Nangong Yue nodded seriously and said: "Grandfather, what you said is true! When A Yi comes back, I have to talk to him carefully."
Speaking of the person they both care about the most, Mrs. Fang and Nangong Yue looked at each other and smiled, and the old man's hearty laughter resounded from time to time in the room...
Nangong Yue's good mood continued, she did not hide the smile on her face, and after returning to the house at night, she began to think about what kind of autumn clothes she would give Xiao Yi.
Living up to her expectations, early the next morning, Baihui called people from the famous Cloth Village Jinxiu Workshop in the city.
The person who came was the shopkeeper's wife, a plump woman in her forties, wearing a royal blue bright new silk with silver-twisted branches and carved silk gowns, a neat bun on her head, and a gleaming hairpin in her hair. The radiant South Pearl red gold hairpin, and several golden bracelets hung on the wrists, dazzling people's eyes.
The woman said courteously yet flatteringly: "Concubine Shizi, take a quick look, my villain has Yun brocade, Shu brocade, makeup satin, woven gold brocade... all kinds of rare and expensive fabrics, as well as silk yarn from Jiangnan, The feather gauze from Jiangbei... By the way, Yuhua brocade just came from Jiangnan, and the pattern is the latest pattern in Jiangnan." As she spoke, she picked up a roll of radiant cloth brocade from the large case beside her, and talked about it. Introduced endlessly.
The woman had heard from Baihui that the concubine wanted to choose some fabrics to make clothes for the prince, and she repeatedly brought several rolls of fabrics suitable for men, such as indigo rain flower brocade, pale purple gold brocade, lake-colored...
Nangong Yue readily picked several horses for Xiao Yi, and they were basically brightly colored. Xiao Yi was at the prime of his life, and she could almost imagine him wearing a robe made of these materials in her mind. What it will look like must be picturesque and high-spirited.
Thinking about it, the corner of Nangong Yue's mouth could not help but draw a faint smile, which was elegant and moving.
Seeing that the business was completed, the woman narrowed her eyes into a line with a smile, and said tentatively: "Shi Zifei, there are many suitable for girls here, do you want to take a look too..." She told a maid accompanying her. After winking, the other party immediately stepped forward holding a roll of Sichuan brocade and a roll of makeup brocade.
Anyway, people are here too, so it's good to have a look. Nangong Yue nodded in agreement, and then told Huamei, "Humei, go and call the eldest girl to pick her."
Huamei took the order, and the woman's face was overjoyed, and she continued eagerly: "My concubine, I have a lot of materials with bright colors and novel patterns here, which are especially suitable for young girls to wear. Look, there are peach red brocade patterns all over the place." The one with the hanging feet and the flower pattern, and the Shu brocade with the peony pattern on the engraved gold thread buttons are all excellent. If you don’t like red, the moon white satin is also very elegant... "
Que'er was also helping to choose, and said: "I think this moon white satin is very elegant, with dark patterns of plum, orchid and bamboo. The eldest girl will definitely like it..."
After a cup of tea, Xiao Fei came down accompanied by Thrush.
"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue beckoned to her, "Come and choose materials together, I want to choose some materials for you and the younger sisters, so that I can start making autumn clothes earlier... By the way, And my grandfather, he should also make some autumn clothes."
Nangong Yue is in a good mood and wants to share her good mood with others.
Hearing this, the woman became even more joyful, and said in her heart: Each of the girls in the palace picked some materials, and the quantity is quite a lot. It seems that a big business can be made today.
Xiao Fei looked around the room, frowned slightly, and said, "Sister-in-law, my grandfather usually wears crow blue, stone blue, dark green and other dark tones, these materials seem to be too much for my grandfather. It's brighter." The shopkeeper's wife of Jinxiufang thought that today is the concubine of the crown prince, and the crown prince wants to choose fabrics, so she tried her best to bring some young and lively materials with bright colors.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei with a smile. Sister Fei had really grown up. She even memorized the color of clothes her grandfather wore on weekdays.
But the woman's heart skipped a beat, fearing that the business would be ruined, she hurriedly said: "Miss Xiao, my villain will order someone to get some materials suitable for the elderly."
She winked at the maid to go back to the cloth workshop to get the materials, and at the same time recommended materials to Xiao Fei more attentively... The room was so lively, the two of them picked and picked, and after half an hour, they finally gave it to themselves. After picking out the fabric, he chose a few pieces of fashionable material for the other girls in the palace, and then ordered people to send them to the sewing room to make two autumn clothes for each of the girls.
The timing was just right, and the maid from Jinxiufang brought another cart of materials to Bixiao Hall, so the group went to Tingyu Pavilion again in a mighty manner, asking the old man to pick some materials as well.
Old Mrs. Fang didn't care about new clothes at his age. What moved him was the filial piety of the two little girls. They picked two horses at random, and the smiles on their faces couldn't stop.
After the people from Jinxiufang retreated, Old Master Fang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Yue'er, Sister Fei, it's not rude to come and go. Since you made new clothes for grandpa, grandpa will make some jewelry for you two." Right. I heard that the Zhenbaoxuan in Luoyue City has good craftsmanship..." He suggested enthusiastically, "Why not, let's go to the Zhenbaoxuan, and you two can pick out some favorite noodles."
There is a saying that the gift from the elders cannot be denied. but…
Xiao Fei was startled, and looked at Nangong Yue with some hesitation.
Nangong Yue thanked you with a smile: "Grandfather, sister Fei and I will thank you."
For Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, it is natural that they will not lose one or two sets of appearances, but it is rare that Mrs. Fang is in a good mood, so of course I have to make him happy.
Moreover, since the old man Fang came to Luoyue City, he has almost stayed at home in Bixiao Hall, so it would be good to take him out to get some fresh air by taking this opportunity.
Nangong Yue immediately ordered Baihui to prepare the carriage, and the grandparents and grandchildren took a green-covered carriage and brought two guards with them, and left the house lightly and simply through the gate of the East Street.
Along the way, Xiao Fei opened the curtains a little, and introduced Luoyue City to Mrs. Fang from time to time. Although Mrs. Fang had been to Luoyue City before, he had been paralyzed on the bed for more than ten years, and Luoyue City had already undergone earth-shaking changes. Many of the restaurants, shops, and buildings he used to be familiar with have long since ceased to exist...
The carriage turned left and right and walked through several streets. Suddenly, the groom outside let out a "sigh", and the carriage slowed down, and the noise from the street outside could be heard.
Baihui was about to ask the coachman what was going on, when the coachman's voice sounded outside: "Miss Baihui, I don't know what happened in front, there are many people around."
The coachman was also in a dilemma. At this time, if he made another U-turn, he would have to go a long way in vain.
Baihui slightly opened the curtain and took a look outside, only to see a few feet ahead, sparsely surrounded by many passers-by. In the center of the crowd, a young man in an indigo brocade robe was standing proudly by the side of the road leading a white horse. In front of the man, an old beggar woman with gray hair knelt on the ground, prostrating humbly on the ground.
Could it be that this old beggar bumped into that son? Baihui's eyes flashed.
At this time, two young men came out of a restaurant on the street, whispering to each other and pointing ahead:
"Isn't that the fifth son of General Chang's family?"
"I heard that Fifth Young Master Chang is notoriously difficult. If that old beggar messes with him, I'm afraid it won't end well."
"Yeah, yeah. Last year, the waiter in a restaurant accidentally spilled wine on him, and he smashed the whole restaurant..."
"..."
Baihui frowned, and was about to put down the curtain to report to the three masters in the carriage, but the old beggar woman in front said in a panic: "My lord, old lady... I really didn't mean it... My lord, I kowtow to you gone."
Huh? This person's voice seemed familiar. Baihui's right hand holding the curtain paused in the air, and then looked at the few people in the center of the crowd.
A young man in green clothes came out from the side of Mr. Chang Wu, took a step forward, and said a little arrogantly: "You old woman, you dare to touch porcelain in front of our son's horse! I won't teach you a lesson today. , isn’t it to appease and raise traitors!”
"Brother!" the old beggar said in panic, "The old woman was really surprised only when she saw the horse coming, and she fell to the ground. She definitely didn't mean to blackmail anyone..."
"Empty words are useless! Do you mean to blackmail people? After I send you to the government, the government will judge..."
"Old women are not allowed to see officials! If old women go to prison, there will be no one to take care of their grandsons. Young master, brother, please let the old woman go." The old beggar kowtowed again and again.
Naturally, Nangong Yue also heard these conversations. She opened the curtain on the right and looked out, staring at the back of the old beggar thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Baihui, go down and ask what's going on... Just help her."
"Yes, Princess Concubine." Baihui took Nangong Yue's badge and got out of the carriage in response.
She also recognized the old beggar who was kneeling on the ground, but she didn't expect it to be her, Aunt Ye.
Aunt Ye is now wearing a blue coarse cloth dress, with several patches on the skirt, and a lot of mud and sand, she looks very distressed.
After Baihui sized her up, her eyes fell on the empty bowl with several copper plates beside her, and a complex light flashed in her eyes.
Even if Ye Yili was sent to Zhuangzi and Ye Yinming was sent to prison, Aunt Ye would not be reduced to a beggar!
"Ms. Ye," Baihui walked to Aunt Ye's side and helped her up, "What's going on?"
"Miss Baihui!" Aunt Ye held Baihui's hand tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw, "Tell this young man, the old lady really didn't blackmail people with porcelain! Such a nasty thing, old lady How could you do it! This young man was passing by on horseback, and the old woman just came out of the alley, and she didn't pay attention to the road, so she was so frightened that she fell down... "
Young Master Chang didn't care what Auntie Ye said at all, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Baihui in surprise.
Baihui wore a lake-colored plum, orchid, and bamboo embroidered embroidered beige. She had a delicate face, decent manners, and a natural manner. But Mr. Chang Wu, with a casual glance, he knew that this girl should be the servant girl of a rich family. I didn't expect this old beggar to know such a person!
However, Fifth Young Master Chang didn't take it too seriously: what about the maids of rich families? Even if her master came, he would still lose face! He hadn't returned to Luoyue City for more than a month, and he was discouraged by this old beggar just after entering the city, what a bad luck!
Mr. Chang Wu said impatiently: "Girl, I am not bullying others, but I just want to send this old woman to the government to argue. Don't meddle in your own business!"
Ordinary people didn't get any benefits from entering the government, and they also said that they were not bullying others. Baihui didn't take it seriously in her heart, what kind of method was used to deal with someone. Since he likes to bully others, then he should be simple and rude, and fight back with fire.
"Young master," Baihui said with a smile, "for the sake of the master, can you let this old lady go." While speaking, she had already pulled out most of the princess' waist card hidden in her sleeve. Fifth Young Master Chang swayed in front of him.
Young Master Chang Wu impatiently wanted to interrupt Baihui, but his expression froze the moment he saw the badge. Although he didn't see the words clearly on the waist card, this kind of golden waist card can not be used by everyone. In southern Xinjiang, apart from King Zhennan and Shi Ziye, only the princess waist card is held by the princess. The waist badges of King Zhennan and Shi Ziye would naturally not be in the hands of a maid, so it is self-evident who the owner of this golden waist badge is.
Since the waist card is here, it must be that the Crown Princess is also nearby.
Chang Wuzi glanced in the direction of Baihui, and saw a low-key but elegant green-covered carriage parked not far away, and beside the carriage were two tall and mighty guards riding on tall horses , Mr. Chang Wu knows it well.
It can be seen which is more important for a lowly old beggar woman to the concubine of the previous life.
Mr. Chang Wu's complexion changed again and again, and finally he clasped his fists and said, "Since there is a girl as a guarantor for this aunt, then I will not bother with her." After speaking, he got on his horse and walked away without looking back. up.
His little servant hadn't figured out what was going on, seeing his master leaving, he hurriedly got on his horse and chased after him, wondering in his heart: Isn't my young master too talkative today? Not like him? !
The passers-by watching around saw that the fifth son Chang had left, and knowing that the good show was over, they also scattered away.
Auntie Ye grabbed Baihui's hand and thanked her repeatedly: "Girl Baihui, it's really thanks to you, otherwise, otherwise, the old woman is really..." As she spoke, Auntie Ye choked up, her eyes dim with tears. The grandchildren are grown up, and she can't control them anymore. She is still confused about many things...their family just broke up!
Baihui leaned over to help Aunt Ye pat the dust off her body, and asked, "Aunt Ye, why are you...begging here?"
Aunt Ye showed no shame on her face, she murmured for a long time before she spoke...
Baihui listened carefully, comforted Aunt Ye for a while, and called her to the carriage.
"Ms. Ye, wait here." Baihui left Aunt Ye to wait outside the carriage, and got into the carriage by herself.
"Concubine Shizi," Baihui reported after saluting, "I have asked Mrs. Ye about it. After Mrs. Ye was sent to Zhuangzi, Mrs. Ye had no one to discuss with her, but she was afraid that Mr. Ye would suffer in the prison, so she sent the family Everything was pawned, and after changing the money, I went to the prison boss to clear it up... "
Aunt Ye did so much to hope that her grandson Ye Yinming would have a better life in the prison, but she had nothing and became a beggar.
However, did Ye Yinming understand Auntie Ye's kind heart! How did Ye Yinming understand her current situation!
