"It just so happens that I have something to see the old lady too! Bai Lu, come with me!" Lin shi suppressed her anger and was about to get up, but her daughter's delicate voice sounded from behind: "Mother, Yue'er is going with you !"
"Sister Yue." Turning her head to look, she saw a young girl who lifted up the thick curtain and walked in at some point. At this moment, she was wearing a garnet-red embroidered gold jacket and a horse-faced skirt, and her face was still very pale. It was bleak, because of a serious illness, her white and tender cheeks were only as thin as a palm, which made her black pupils stand out, clear and dark. Lin couldn't help but softly said, "Sister Yue, your body is still weak, the most important thing is to have a good rest!"
"Mother, let Yue'er go. Yue'er was also there at the time. If grandma asks, Yue'er can help explain a thing or two." Nangong Yue said again.
Lin thought about it, and agreed.
Dong'er led the way, Nangong Yue, Lin Shi and Bai Lu arrived at Rong'an Hall, and turned from the main hall into Dongci Room.
Although the light in the east room is a little worse than that in the main hall, it is still spacious and bright. The inside is not magnificent, there are two rows of flower tables on both sides, the furniture is a little old, but it is well taken care of; there are various vases on the flower table, and the flower branches are very fresh.
On the Luohan bed, which is not a new rosewood mullion and three-screen screen, an old woman with slightly gray hair is sitting. She is wearing a dark red jacket with dark flowers, her hair is combed meticulously, and she wears a round bun behind her head. Wearing a white jade hairpin, in a pair of sharp eyes, there is the heaviness and vicissitudes that have been baptized by the years, more severe and shrewd. She is in her early fifties, but the years obviously favor her very much, she does not look old, but graceful and luxurious, with a hint of pride in the corner of her mouth.
Although the Nangong family no longer had the glory of the previous dynasty, this pride has always hung on the corner of Su's mouth.
The Nangong family is one of the four major families in the current world. Since the previous dynasty, every generation has descendants who have entered the officialdom. In the history of more than 300 years in the previous dynasty, they have often married with the royal family. There have been three chief assistants, four The great officials of the frontier, five officials above the third rank, and countless others.
Thirty years ago, the former emperor Murong Jie was overthrown by the great general Han Jiu and the foreign barbarians, and Han Jiu ascended the throne as the emperor.
After the former dynasty broke up the country, the former patriarch of the Nangong family, Nan Gonghao, was unwilling to submit to the new emperor, and resolutely retired from the world. However, the Nangong family used to be a powerful official and a role model for southern scholars. Therefore, after the death of the former emperor Han Jiu, the new emperor Han Longyun ordered Nangong, the new head of the Nangong family, to consolidate his throne and show his favor to the scholars of the world. When Qin became an official, he became a third-rank royal doctor. It's just that the new emperor has always been very jealous of the Nangong family. He wanted to use them, but also worried that they were attached to the previous dynasty and would be detrimental to him, so he gave Nangong Qin such an official position that was neither high nor low.
Nangong Qin originally wanted to inherit his father's behest and live in seclusion, but he couldn't resist his mother Su's family. In the end, under the leadership of Su's family, they moved their family back to the capital.
And this is the beginning of all tragedies!
Grandmother... Nangong Yue looked at Su Shi deeply, her eyes were extremely complicated. Her grandmother never liked herself, and her admiration for her was exhausted in disappointment after disappointment. In this life, I will never expect anything extravagantly again.
"I've seen my grandmother (mother)!" Nangong Yue and Lin shi blessed Su Shi together.
While Nangong Yue stood up straight, her eyes flashed, and she quickly scanned Dong Cijian. On the right hand side of Grandmother Su, stood a woman. I saw that she was in her early thirties, and she was wearing a dark crimson red vase-shaped beige, looking graceful and generous. She is the wife of his uncle Nangong Qin, and the eldest aunt of Nangong Yue - Mrs. Zhao.
On the left hand side of grandmother Su, there is a seven or eight-year-old girl, she looks very cute, her face is fair, pink and tender, as perfect as finely carved jade, very lovely, especially a pair of big black eyes , Smart and bright, exquisite and perfect like gems.
"Second Aunt, Cousin Yue!" The little girl looked at them pitifully, and her timidity could not be concealed in her sweet voice.
"Cousin Xiao!" Nangong Yue raised her eyes to look at her, and smiled inexplicably.
Now she is no longer the simple and stupid woman she used to be. In her previous life, when she was at the peak of glory, she was the most honorable woman in the world; Never met. Facing the enemy in the past life and this life, although she wished to tear him into pieces, she didn't show any abnormality on the surface.
Su coughed dryly, and asked: "Lin, I just heard that brother Xin fell into the water, how is he doing now? Can you call the doctor to see it?"
Lin replied respectfully: "Mother, I have asked Dr. Wang to come and see. Although there is no serious problem, I still need to take medicine for a few days and rest for a few days." After a pause, she continued, "Mother, Brother Xin fell into the water..."
Who would have thought that Su suddenly interrupted her: "Brother Xin fell into the water, I have already heard from sister Xiao, it was when the two children were playing, and brother Xin fell into the water unfortunately."
From Su's tone, it is obvious that he wants to help his granddaughter Bai Muxiao, and wants to make Nangong Xin's falling into the water a simple accident.
This is really tolerable and unbearable! Nangong Yue was about to say something, but she heard Lin said angrily: "Mother, how can you listen to sister Xiao's one-sided words, she is clearly the one who pushed Brother Xin into the water!" , She pointed sideways at Bai Lu behind her and said, "This Bai Lu is the maid who trims the plants in the garden. She saw it with her own eyes."
Bai Lu had never seen such a big scene before, she trembled all over, and could hardly speak: "Slave... slave girl did... really saw..."
"Grandmother, second aunt, Xiao'er didn't do it on purpose." Bai Muxiao's eyes filled with tears, and she cried with grievance, "Xiao'er just borrowed the cat made up by cousin Xin to see, but cousin Xin She insisted on taking it back, Xiaoer just wanted Cousin Xin to show Xiaoer another look... Huh... Xiaoer just pushed slightly, Cousin Xin was sprained by a stone and fell down... "
Nangong Yue listened coldly, wishing she could rush up and slap her. At the same time, I also feel that the current Bai Muxiao is still tender, if she will be beaten to death later, she will not admit that she pushed Nangong Xin into the water.
"Sister Xiao, don't cry." Mrs. Su held Bai Muxiao in her arms with a baby face, but her face turned dark when facing Lin, "Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Xiao already said that this was just an accident. What else do you want? Now that brother Xin is fine, why do you hold on to it! Although sister Xiao is at fault, as her aunt and aunt, can't you be kind to her?!" She had a look on her face. Staring at Lin and Nangong Yue solemnly, the deep eyes were majestic and fierce, and wherever the eyes fell, it seemed that the air had condensed, making it almost impossible to look directly at them.
