Sun Xinyi obeyed her orders, so a group of people entered the defense mansion.
After Xiao Yi talked to Nangong Yue with a smile, he, Guan Yubai, and Fu Yunhe headed towards the study room, and Xiaosi naturally followed behind with Han Yu in his arms.
As soon as Xiao Hui saw them leaving, she let out a resonant eagle cry, and circled around Nangong Yue's head, as if hesitating whether to follow the hostess or the host.
Xiaosi felt that Rumang was on his back, and couldn't help turning his head to stare at the gray eagle, but saw the owner with willow leaf eyes staring straight at this side, and the moment his eyes met his, he quickly Turn around and continue walking.
That look made Xiao Si very unhappy, as if it had a sense of being up for grabs.
Xiao Sirui narrowed his eyes, and took a few steps forward, blocking Guan Yubai's back.
No matter what she thinks, just don't play with the young master, and don't covet their family's Han Yu...
He followed closely, and heard the crowing of the gray eagle again. Unfortunately, the stupid eagle still came after him.
Xiao Si subconsciously quickened his pace.
Seeing Xiao Hui obviously flying towards Xiao Si, Lily sighed and said, "There is a young eagle growing up in my family!"
The corners of Baihui's eyes twitched, and she calmly led the way for Sun Xinyi: "Miss Sun, this way please."
Baihui led Sun Xinyi to the flower hall in the inner courtyard to sit for a while, while Nangong Yue and Han Qixia went back separately and changed into men's clothes. Nangong Yue asked Huamei to tie a simple bra for herself, and then dressed up a bit. When Han Qixia came over, she went to the flower hall hand in hand.
At this time, the Pu'er tea in Sun Xinyi's teacup sitting in the main hall has been changed for two rounds. If she is impatient, she may be restless, but this Sun Xinyi is neither arrogant nor impatient, and keeps her back straight. Sitting in an armchair, she is indeed a girl from the Garrison Mansion.
When the voice of the little maid saluting came from outside the hall, Sun Xinyi hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, followed the sound and looked over, only to see Nangong Yue and Han Qixia walking into the hall side by side like a pair of sisters.
Sun Xinyi was not surprised by this, but what she didn't expect was that Han Qixia would look so outstanding after changing into a light yellow beige with hanging feet and flowers all over the branches and a little dress up. The concubines of the world stood up together, not inferior, like the sun and the moon, each with its own merits. Compared with the first time they met, they were completely different people!
Sun Xinyi was stunned when she saw it. From the first time she met Han Qixia, she guessed that she was not an ordinary medical girl. She must have some background, otherwise, how could she possibly live in the Garrison Mansion
Afterwards, they met each other several times. Sun Xinyi carefully observed that Han Qixia's behavior, temperament, talking and laughing... must have been formed through strict upbringing since she was a child!
Looking at it now, my guess was indeed correct, this girl Han could be worthy of the concubines and concubines, but she didn't show any timidity or flattery, as if the two were neck and neck. Maybe I still underestimated Han Qixia, not only did she have some background, I'm afraid it's because of her extraordinary background!
But…
How could a well-born and well-educated girl be reduced to a humble medical girl
Could it be that Han Qixia's family has fallen
Or just like your own home...
Thinking of the situation of her own family, and thinking of being dependent on others, for a moment, a cloud of confusion flashed in Sun Xinyi's eyes.
Sun Xinyi lowered her eyes halfway to block the strange look in her eyes, and stood up to greet Nangongyue as if nothing had happened. After Nangongyue sat down on the grand teacher's chair above her, she solemnly saluted her again: "The daughter and grandson of Xianyan Dingcheng's garrison Shi Xinyi greets the crown prince!"
"Miss Sun, you don't need to be polite." Nangong Yue had a gentle and friendly attitude, and then gave a wink to Huamei who was beside her, and Huamei immediately presented her with a heavy embroidered bag as a meeting gift.
Of course, Huamei knew that there was a fine white marble bracelet and a large handful of gold clasps in the embroidered pouch. Although the golden curly is vulgar, but for Sun Xinyi, who is living under the fence and lonely, the golden curly is the most practical.
Sun Xinyi took it in person, and handed it to the maid who was close to her, and thanked Nangong Yue without looking sideways.
After that, she sat down again, looked up at Han Qixia who was sitting directly opposite her, smiled and said warmly: "Miss Han, I haven't thanked you yet. Last time, you taught me the massage method It worked extremely well, and after that, I never had insomnia again, and I slept peacefully until the cock crowed every day."
Han Qixia looked at Sun Xinyi carefully, she still looked slender, as if she was about to float away when the wind blew, but her complexion was much better than before, and the deep shadow under her eyes had faded a lot.
"Miss Sun, you don't have to be so polite about such a trivial matter." Han Qixia said gently, and then persuaded, "I also ask the girl to express my condolences." People cannot be brought back to life after death, and what the survivors can do now is to make themselves live better...
Sun Xinyi lowered her eyes halfway, and her body trembled slightly, as if thinking of those sad things again.
But she soon cheered up, raised her face, forced a smile and said, "Thank you Miss Han for your love." She subconsciously clenched her fists and continued firmly, "Xin Yi will definitely take care of herself, for the sake of my late father, My late mother, and other relatives, Xinyi must live well!"
The pampas grass is as tough as silk. Han Qixia couldn't help but think of these words, thoughtfully, although this Miss Sun is a weak woman, she has an extremely tenacious heart, which makes people admire her very much.
After Sun Xinyi said a few more words to the two of them, she tactfully got up and said goodbye.
"Miss Sun, please go this way." Huamei led Sun Xinyi out of the hall and headed towards the second door.
Suddenly, Sun Xinyi heard Han Qixia's voice behind her: "Yue'er, let's go find Cousin He and the others..."
Sun Xinyi was taken aback for a moment, she didn't dare to stop, but she was shocked in her heart.
Han Qixia actually called Fu Yunhe her cousin? !
She had inquired before that this Second Lieutenant Fu was the grandson of Princess Yongyang of the capital, and he was of royal blood...By the way, Han Qixia's surname is Han, could it be the most honorable "Han" surname
Sun Xinyi half-closed her eyes, and realized in her heart: So it turns out that this girl Han must have come from the royal capital when she spoke about the north, and she must be a daughter of a side branch clan, and she must have known the imperial concubine in the royal capital...
While thinking, Sun Xinyi gradually walked away with the thrush.
Huamei sent Sun Xinyi to the gate of the garrison all the way, Sun Xinyi bid farewell to Huamei politely, and then left with the maid.
The two walked along Dong'an Avenue for dozens of feet, making sure that the people behind could not hear their voices, the servant girl finally sighed distressedly: "Girl, it's really hard for you."
Others don't know, but the servant girl knows best in her heart that her daughter waited outside the gate of the Garrison Mansion for an hour today, a full hour, in order to pay her respects to the concubine Shizi. The old lady guarding the door was also really hateful, she only advised the girl to leave, but didn't mention a word about inviting the girl in. How can I say that the Garrison Mansion used to be the home of my daughter!
Sun Xinyi sighed quietly, with a bit of self-pity, said: "Now I'm as humble as a duckweed, and I depend on others, so I can only fight for my own future."
The servant girl touched the heavy embroidered bag in her sleeve, and said, "Girl, at least today's visit was not in vain..."
Before, when the maid put away the embroidered pouch, she quickly glanced inside, and saw a bag of golden scorpions in the embroidered pouch, these golden scorpions are really emergency things!
Sun Xinyi narrowed her eyes slightly, a gleam flashed in her eyes.
Even after the war is over, she can inherit the Sun family's property and have no worries about food and clothing, but a weak woman with a generous dowry has no relatives to rely on, and will only be bullied by her husband's family and outsiders.
She had no choice but to cling to the palace and please the princess.
With her own background, as long as the concubine Shizi is not incompetent, no matter whether she likes herself or not, she will make a statement to appease the orphans of heroes... That's why she came here to pay her respects.
But that's not enough!
Sun Xinyi lowered her eyes halfway, her lips tightly pursed into a straight line. A woman's future ultimately depends on her husband, a wife is honored by her husband, and a mother is honored by her son. Only in this way can she live her previous life, no, better than before!
At this time, the servant girl said again: "Girl, the son of the world is really as handsome as the rumors, if the girl can..."
The servant girl looked at the master hesitantly, the son was under one person and above ten thousand people in Nanjiang, if a girl could marry the son, even if it was a side concubine, it would be several times better than others.
"Caiwei, don't say that again." Sun Xinyi glanced at the servant girl lightly. After all, Caiwei is a servant girl, and her vision is still too superficial.
Caiwei rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, a little aggrieved, she also had good intentions, all for the sake of the girl.
Sun Xinyi said again: "Although the son is a high-ranking and powerful man, he is a good husband-in-law candidate. It's a pity..." She paused for a moment, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth, "There is only the concubine next to the son, and no concubine. Presumably the Crown Princess must be quite jealous!"
The concubine and the prince seem to be harmonious, and they have the title of the main wife and the title of the princess. If you want to deal with a mere concubine, it is really easy. It would be fine if she could be the side concubine of the eldest son, but if she is just an ordinary concubine, what's the point? Could it be that she is still counting on her son to help her turn around decades later? !
Sun Xinyi's expression was calm and reserved.
Not only the son of the world, but even Marquis An Yi is not a good match.
Marquis An Yi has a high position and authority, a handsome talent, like a banished immortal, but it is a pity that at his age, most of them have wives in the capital... If it is true that he has no wife and no children, maybe there is some hidden disease... such a person, himself How can you give in.
In fact, after counting them one by one, there are not many people she can choose. Once the war is over, she may not have a good choice.
After much deliberation, in Yanding City, only the third son Fu is her best choice.
The third son Fu is also a talented person, and he is the grandson of Princess Yongyang. He is impeccable in terms of family background, appearance, personality, talent and learning, and it is certain that he will have a bright future in the future!
Sun Xinyi bit her lower lip, did not speak, her hands were clenched into fists, her dark eyes sparkled for a moment, as if she had made up her mind...
While the master and servant were talking, the sky gradually turned dark and yellow, only a faint red glow remained in the western sky, and the moon was only faintly white, appearing faintly in the sky, looking down on all living beings.
At this moment, Nangong Yue and Han Qixia were walking side by side on a bluestone path in the garrison mansion, heading towards Lin Jingchen's courtyard.
The dinner was ready, Nangong Yue specially asked Baihui to send a message to Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe and the others, and made an appointment to have dinner with her grandfather.
Along the way, Han Qixia talked about her acquaintance with Sun Xinyi—
Half a month ago, on her way to the wounded barracks, she happened to pass the city gate, and she happened to see a girl in white kneeling in front of a brazier by the city wall not far from the gate, burning paper money while crying like rain... It seems Very poor.
Although Han Qixia has not been in Yanding City for a long time, she has seen this kind of scene of offering sacrifices to ancestors many times in the city. Every commoner here has lost their relatives and friends, and everyone's heart is full of scars...
At that time, Han Qixia didn't want to disturb the other party and planned to take a detour, but she didn't expect the little maid next to the girl in white to let out an exclamation suddenly, and the girl fainted from crying out of grief. Han Qixia rushed forward to treat her, and only then did she know that the girl was the daughter of the late Sun Shoubei. That day, Sun Xinyi was paying homage to her deceased father and mother under the city wall. Because she hadn't eaten or slept properly for a few days, she passed out when she was emotional...
While speaking, Han Qixia showed some sympathy.
This is the cruelty of war. At the moment when the city was destroyed, all the people in the city, no matter how high or low, were nothing but ants to be slaughtered. Under the overthrow of the nest, there would be no eggs. It is very lucky for this Miss Sun to survive. Things, but since then no relatives and no reason...
Complicated eyes flashed across Han Qixia's eyes, and after gathering her composure, she continued: "Since that meeting, Miss Sun sometimes asked the servant girl to bring me some snacks made by herself, and we have also met a few times."
Nangong Yue responded without saying anything.
For Miss Sun, she will not comment for the time being. After all, it is only the first contact. The only thing that can be seen at present is that this Miss Sun should be a person who is good at drilling... Let's take a look first.
During the conversation, the two had reached the entrance of Lin Jingchen's courtyard.
Just about to go in, I heard Fu Yunhe's voice from behind: "Cousin Xia, sister-in-law!"
The two girls turned their heads to look, only ten feet away, Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe and Guan Yubai came out from the corner in front, walking towards this side, Xiao Hui followed Guan Yubai like a shadow, It revolved around him, and from time to time it let out a cry of unwillingness to be lonely. The afterglow of the setting sun coated its dark gray feathers with a layer of dazzling red light, as if a heroic soldier was wearing a red cloak and charged into battle, heroic.
When they got closer, Nangong Yue and Han Qixia realized that Guan Yubai was still holding a bamboo basket in his right hand, and young eagles were singing from time to time in the basket.
Nangong Yue and Han Qixia subconsciously looked at each other, a little funny, it turned out that Xiao Hui was chasing Han Yu!
Lily muttered in a low voice from behind: "I really have a daughter-in-law, I forgot my mother... no, the daughter-in-law hasn't come in yet!"
Wait, Han Yu is in the hands of the young master, then... Lily looked around, suddenly found that there was one person missing, and blurted out with a strange face: "Where is Xiao Si?" Doesn't Xiao Si always follow the young master like a shadow? Beside, won't you leave for a while
The corner of Guan Yubai's mouth curled up, and a faint smile bloomed on his lips, making his whole face soft and vivid, as if the bright moonlight was shining softly...
Guan Yubai bowed his head and glanced at Han Yu in the basket, and said, "Xiaosi, he..."
Before he finished speaking, a lively and brisk male voice came from behind, interrupting him just in time: "...Xiao Si, please walk slowly! Let me tell you, you should change your temper too, Mr. If you don’t agree, leave! Since you have an opinion in your heart, why don’t you say it? Even if you say it, I don’t accept your opinion, but at least I know your attitude, so you won’t be suffocated. !Only the young master can bear your stinky temper... Hey, why are you walking faster and faster!"
Even if she didn't look at it, Lily knew that the person who spoke was that guy Fengxing. The contrast between him and Xiaosi is extremely extreme, one is a chatterbox, the other is like a mute, sometimes Lily really hopes that these two people can neutralize a little bit, so that the "people around" can relax a little...
Lily couldn't help but look at Guan Yubai, her eyes filled with reverence: You are indeed a son!
Xiaosi quickly walked up to him, holding a large celadon soup bowl in his hand, which was full of diced raw meat, with some blood stains on it, and he didn't know what kind of meat it was.
Xiao Hui seemed to smell blood, and flew towards Xiao Si, screaming impatiently, as if urging Xiao Si to feed Han Yu quickly.
Xiao Si glared at it angrily, as if saying, hurry up! But the foot has already quickened the pace and walked to Guan Yubai's side.
Nangong Yue, Han Qixia and others were all amused by this scene, and the atmosphere at the entrance of the yard was extremely brisk.
At this time, a figure wearing a straight gray suit appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, and it was Lin Jingchen who came.
He stroked his beard and said: "Ah Yue, Ah Yi, sister Xia... What are you talking about so happy, if you don't come in, the dinner will be cold."
"Grandfather," Xiao Yi couldn't wait to show off, "I found a wife for my Xiao Hui..." He said, pointing to the triumphant little eagle in Guan Yubai's basket.
Seeing the little guy who looked like a chicken, Lin Jingchen couldn't help laughing and said, "It looks like a female eagle." Maybe Xiao Yi's idea can really come true.
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and he became more and more proud, but Xiao Si's face turned dark, and he really didn't want to pay attention to this cheeky Mr. Xiao. But he endured it, Feng Xing didn't want to endure it, and said: "Han Yu is not your child bride!"
Xiao Si nodded secretly with sympathy, feeling that Feng Xing would occasionally say something human.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, and changed his words politely: "Of course it's not a child bride, how could Han Yu be a child bride? Although I haven't seen a child bride, I know that a child bride will be sent to her husband's house to work and support the family!" He turned his head and said solemnly Said to Guan Yubai, "Xiaobai, don't worry, I will never treat Han Yu like this!"
As he said that, he gave Feng Xing an indignant look, as if to say, how could you slander my personality and Xiaohui's eagle personality like this!
Feng Xing was stunned by Xiao Yi's speech, his mouth was too fast, and Xiao Yi caught his speech disorder by accident, and he was at a disadvantage.
Lily and Bamboo in the rear burst out laughing unceremoniously.
Feng Xing gave a dry laugh, and suddenly felt that it was cute to talk less like Xiao Si. He patted Xiao Si on the shoulder and said: "Little Si, I changed my mind, you still..."
It's a pity that Xiaosi didn't give him any face, walked past him directly, took the basket from Guan Yubai's hand and said, "Han Yu is hungry!"
"Come and come, let's go eat!" Lin Jingchen clapped his hands and smiled, calling everyone to enter the courtyard.
The dinner was served in the courtyard, and the sky was already dark, so the maid Xiaochan simply lit a few lanterns in the courtyard.
Putting two square tables together, it is still very difficult in Yanding City, so even if there are so many people eating, it is only five dishes and one soup, and they are all common meals, but for the already hungry people, it is still very difficult. Like delicacies from mountains and seas, they sat down one by one, feasting on them.
Only Han Qixia seemed to have a loss of appetite, and she was still absent-minded. After moving her chopsticks a few times, she became dazed.
Fu Yunhe frowned slightly, looked at Han Qixia with concern, and asked, "Cousin Xia, why don't you eat? But what's wrong with your body?" Thinking that a lot of things happened today, Fu Yunhe was worried that Han Qixia would Will not be frightened.
For a moment, everyone at the dining table put down their chopsticks and looked at Han Qixia in unison.
Meeting everyone's worried eyes, Han Qixia hurriedly said: "I'm fine." After a pause, she still said hesitantly, "I'm just thinking about Miss Sun, and I have some feelings..."
Nangong Yue was thoughtful, and realized that it was Han Qixia's experience that made her feel particularly sympathetic to that girl grandson...
Nangong Yue originally planned to "place" this Miss Sun, she pondered for a moment, then turned to Xiao Yi beside her and said, "Ah Yi, can you tell me about Sun Shoubei?"
The Sun Shoubing she was talking about was naturally the former guard who died for Yanding City, Sun Xiuneng.
