"I thought Xiao Hezi was always heartless, but this time he got on the tip of his horns." Xiao Yi sighed jokingly, then winked at Nangong Yue, and said, "It took a while." I'm drooling, and you made good wine, Ah Yue, does my big brother take good care of my younger brother?"
The corners of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched, and she responded dryly.
It should be said that Fu Yunhe's embarrassment and entanglement are the reactions of normal people.
And Ah Yi...
A Yi, he has sometimes surpassed the category of "ordinary people"... Hey, she can barely take this as her compliment to him.
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing the dimples on her cheeks, and looked at Xiao Yili's face with a smile.
Xiao Yi looked at the smile at the corner of her mouth with burning eyes, and continued casually: "Actually, there is nothing to worry about. Xiao Hezi is now a member of the Southern Border Army, and he should serve as a soldier in the army!"
As a soldier, obeying military orders is a bounden duty.
Xiao Yi's right hand and Nan Gongyue's ten fingers intertwined, and he said: "One day, if Xiao Hezi leaves the Southern Border Army, it won't be too late to worry about those things."
Why worry about so many things that didn't happen, wasting a good time!
Xiao Yi's beautiful peach blossom eyes are still so clear and clear, obviously he has no grudge against Fu Yunhe's identity.
A Yi has always thought more clearly than himself. Nangong Yue just smiled and said nothing, her palm was pressed against his, and the two of them rubbed their fingers together, they could understand each other's mind without words.
"Ah Yue, do you feel that you like me more?" Xiao Yi asked winkingly, and even tapped his cheek to beg for reward. Those frivolous words and deeds moved Nangong Yue's heart with difficulty. get blown away...
This guy, A Yi, is competing with Brother Yu again! Nangong Yue sighed amusedly in her heart. She had only given birth to one son, but it seemed that she had another "son" inexplicably.
"Yeah, I like you the most!" She raised her eyebrows, imitating his smiling demeanor and tone, and leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth.
She used to be ashamed, but now she can say this without blushing.
Why be ashamed
She was just expressing the truest feeling in her heart, A Yi and Brother Yu are her most important people now!
Nangong Yue's kiss landed on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth, a sly light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, at the last moment, he tilted his face slightly, and then the four lips overlapped together, the breath blended...
Gradually, even the cool shade of the tree seemed to become hotter...
Not far away, the two maids who brought snacks to the master happened to see this sweet scene, looked at each other embarrassedly, and then quietly retreated.
Thinking of the way the concubine Shizi leaned over to kiss the son-in-law just now, Que'er, who had endured and endured, finally burst out laughing after walking away. Hey, Shizi Concubine was really "taught badly" by Shizi Ye.
In the playbook, the positions of Shi Ziye and Shi Zifei should be swapped...
It's early summer, and the air in Bixiaotang is filled with a faint fragrance of lotus, which is leisurely and comfortable.
Gradually, the sun began to slant to the west, the sky became dim, and the sun was not so scorching.
The young couple who spent more than an hour together in the yard finally returned to their house.
The attentive maids keenly noticed that although the concubine's son was still neat, her temples were still a little messy, her cherry lips were slightly red and swollen, and her cheeks were even more rouge-like, making her look radiant.
And the son...
Look at his sparkling peach eyes and fox-like satisfied expression, he is clearly the one who interviewed scholars at night in the playbook... Cough cough, vixen.
Que'er, who entered the house from the outside, slandered, saluted respectfully, and said: "Concubine Shizi, the second young master, the second young lady and the eldest girl have not returned yet."
Unknowingly, it has been a year since Xiao Fang passed away, today is the day Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei take off their clothes, because Xiao Fang has been abandoned, the two brothers and sisters and Zhou Roujia can only go to the Great Buddha Temple to perform sacrifices for their deceased mother.
Hearing this, Nangong Yue frowned slightly, and looked at the clepsydra beside her. It was almost the hour of the year, counting the time, Sister Fei and the others should be back.
"Que'er, you send someone to guard the palace, and when the eldest girl and the second young master come back, report to me immediately." Nangong Yue ordered.
Xiao Yi didn't speak at the side, but his face showed displeasure. Ah Yue is worrying about Xiao Fei again... Xiao Fei is so old, and Xiao Luan is also here, what could happen? !
"Yes, Shizi Concubine." Que'er pretended not to see Shizi's concubine's dislike, and responded respectfully, and quickly took orders to leave.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fei and the others haven't come back yet, but Pingyang Hou came again without giving up. This time, Xiao Yi didn't leave him alone, and slowly went to the front yard to meet the guests, with a sly smile on his mouth... Obviously, someone else is going to be unlucky.
And Nangong Yue stayed in the inner room watching the little guy sleep, and occasionally carefully wiped the drool off his lips, always a little absent-minded.
In this way, another incense stick of time passed, until Que'er reported that Xiao Fei and Xiao Luan had returned, Nan Gongyue finally felt relieved.
In the middle of the You hour, the completely new Xiao Fei came to Bixiao Hall.
She wore a lavender engraved silk beige with lotus twigs and silver silk pattern, underneath was a long dark purple dress with thin pleats, a crescent moon bun on her head, and only two garnet bead flowers on her temples. .
Under the soft sunset, she came in style, and the young girl didn't need too much jewelry to dress up, she was elegant and brilliant.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei with a smile. The material and style of Xiao Fei's dress was chosen by her, and it was matched well. Sure enough, as she expected, it was very suitable for Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei is almost fifteen years old, and her figure has grown a lot, and she can't wear the old clothes from last year, so she has to quickly order the sewing room to make some more new clothes for Xiao Fei.
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue had the feeling of "my family has a young girl growing up" for a while, and thought: Yes, Sister Fei is going to grow up soon.
After Xiao Fei greeted her, Nangong Yue pulled Xiao Fei to sit beside her, and asked implicitly, "Sister Fei, is everything going well today?"
"Sister-in-law, everything went well with the ceremony..." Xiao Fei's tone was inevitably a bit difficult. Whenever she thought of Xiao Fang, there was still a corner in her heart that she couldn't let go of, but the deceased was already dead, and she could only bury this wound deeply in her heart. and move on...
Xiao Fei took a deep breath and continued: "Sister-in-law, I should have come back earlier. But my jade pendant was lost and I searched in the Great Buddha Temple, but still couldn't find it... Fortunately, it was just an ordinary jade pendant." Do not let your personal belongings flow out, if they accidentally fall into the hands of outsiders, it will damage your boudoir's reputation.
Fortunately, it was just the simplest piece of white jade pendant, there was no engraving of any pattern on it, and there was no imprint of the palace.
Nangong Yue patted Xiao Fei's plain hand reassuringly, and said, "Sister Fei, it's just a jade pendant, if you drop it, it will fall off."
Xiao Fei reluctantly gave Nangong Yue a smile, and at this moment, Baihui walked in through the curtain, and said: "Concubine Shizi, the little grandson is awake!"
When Xiao Fei heard that her little nephew had woken up, Xiao Fei was shocked and her eyes lit up.
Nangong Yue knew that Xiao Fei liked little Xiao Yu very much, so she smiled and said, "Let's go, Sister Fei, let's go see Brother Yu."
Xiao Fei almost couldn't wait to stand up from the Luohan bed, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law went to the inner room together.
Lily just carried the little guy out of the bed, and was about to dress him, but the little guy seemed a little unwilling, twisted his body, and let out a "babble"...
Lily finally came to her senses, and said with a smile: "The little grandson is going to be a grandson."
She hurriedly carried the little guy to the clean room, and the little guy nestled safely in her arms. After a while, there was the sound of water in the clean room...
Xiao Fei sat down on the armchair by the window, stroked her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, our brother Yu is really smart."
Seeing her smug tone, Nangong Yue couldn't help but think of Xiao Yi. This brother and sister rarely have something in common.
Nangong Yue laughed and said: "He seems to like to be clean..." I don't know who it is like.
Xiao Xiaoyu is a very well-behaved and well-raised child. No matter what he eats, drinks, or looses, he will express it with actions or voices. However, every time Nangong Yue sees her son crying heart-piercingly after urinating, she feels that he may Just hate soiled diapers...
At this time, Lily came out again with the satisfied little guy in his arms. The little guy was white and clean, and his cute little mouth showed a satisfied smile, which immediately attracted his aunt's eyes of admiration, as if to say, my brother Yu The child is indeed the cutest.
Nangong Yue walked over, took the little guy from Lily's hand, and skillfully dressed him. Xiao Fei watched the little guy obediently at the mercy of Nangong Yue, and occasionally cooperated with Nangong Yue's instructions , handed over the little guy's trousers, coat, hat, whatever.
After the little guy finished dressing, the sisters-in-law took him to the window and sat down together. The little meat ball saw Xiaohui and Hanyu parked on the tree at a glance, and waved excitedly at Shuangying, but where did Shuangying come from? They will pay attention to a "cub" who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and after glancing at him, they will peck each other's feathers on their own.
But Xiao Xiao Yu was not one to give up easily, he kept yelling "Yi Ya Yi Ya", his black jade-like eyes were shining brightly.
Xiao Fei's heart almost melted when she saw it, and she couldn't help boasting: "Our brother Yu is so brave!" The children of this other family didn't cry when they saw the eagle, but their little nephew was like the other little nephew. Babies are different!
Nangong Yue couldn't help but put the little guy into Xiao Fei's arms. Xiao Fei's whole body stiffened immediately. Although she came to see her nephew every day, she never hugged him with her own hands. She only dared to tease him with rattles or something. The little guy who was not afraid of life froze for a moment, then went to see his eagle again.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei holding Xiao Yu carefully, the smile in her eyes deepened, and then she pretended to be casual and asked: "Sister Fei, what do you want to do next..." If it wasn't for Xiao Fang Shou Xiao, Sister Fei's marriage should have been settled long ago...
Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, as if hesitating, after a long while, she finally raised her eyes to Nangong Yue, and said resolutely: "Sister-in-law, I want to open a charity hall." Her dark eyes looked at Nangong Yue, shining with determination of light.
Nangong Yue blinked slowly, then blinked again, a little dumbfounded. Her original intention was to test Xiao Fei's attitude towards her marriage, but why did Xiao Fei think of opening a charity hall
"Sister Fei..."
Meeting Nangong Yue's suspicious eyes, Xiao Fei said seriously: "Sister-in-law, when I was at the Great Buddha Temple today, I heard something by chance..."
Then, Xiao Fei talked about how when she and Zhou Roujia were walking together in the Great Buddha Temple today, she overheard a few pilgrims chatting, and said that a certain family in the village gave birth to a girl, and the family couldn't afford it, so they had to go out in the middle of the night and throw the child away. to the door of a rich man; and another who told of a relative who drowned a newborn girl in a basin of water...
Later, Xiao Fei's tone became more and more difficult, and she said: "Sister-in-law, since I was young, I only knew to be alone and kept my ears shut. Now I know that there is a bad habit of drowning women among the people, so I want to open a charity hall." , take in some girls, bring them up, ask someone to teach them three-character scriptures, arithmetic, and female celebrities, so that they can make a living and marry in the future... "
Listening, Nangong Yue's expression also became serious.
She knew that Xiao Fei didn't just say it casually, Xiao Fei was serious about it, and had already thought it through.
Xiao Fei wanted those girls to learn the three-character classic for the sake of literacy and understanding. They don't need to take the number one scholar exam, so as long as they can read some characters, it is enough not to be sold by others and count the silver for others; Their livelihood skills, even if they sell female celebrities or steamed buns in the future, they must be able to count money.
Moreover, raising a child is completely different from administering some medicine or drinking tea for a while. It is a career that requires more than ten years, decades, or even a lifetime.
Xiao Fei has really grown up!
Nangong Yue felt a little emotional and a little embarrassed. Based on her understanding of Xiao Fei, she knew that half of Xiao Fei's thoughts were to sympathize with those poor girls and want to help them, but the other half was probably to atone for her mother.
The corners of Nangong Yue's lips curled up, her smile was like a spring breeze.
She didn't intend to persuade Xiao Fei. Although this matter is troublesome, it is a good thing that benefits the people. Moreover, their Zhennan Palace has the power, money and staff, so what can't they do
"Sister Fei, you can open a few more embroidery houses." She smiled and gave Xiao Fei an idea.
Nangong Yue's words were a bit inexplicable at first, Xiao Fei was taken aback, but Bingxue was as smart as her, and immediately understood what Nangong Yue meant, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you have a good idea!"
The more Xiao Fei talked, the more excited she became, "From now on, girls can go to the embroidery village to work and support themselves. The profits from the embroidery village can also help more girls... This is really the best of both worlds!"
As she said that, Xiao Fei's eyes sparkled, and she knew that her sister-in-law would support her, and she knew that her sister-in-law was the person who understood her best in this world.
Nangong Yue asked again: "Sister Fei, is your monthly money enough?"
This simple sentence contained the thoughtfulness and heart of the sister-in-law, and Xiao Fei felt a wave of ups and downs in her heart, and her eyes were slightly sore.
She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. If it's not enough, I'll ask sister-in-law for more." She looked at Nangong Yue without blinking, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.
After that, the two chatted for a while about the shantang, such as the site selection of the shantang, the building of the house, the purchase, the manpower, etc. Nangong Yue also assigned a steward from the outer courtyard and a steward from the inner courtyard to Xiao Fei First off, running a philanthropic hall is not an easy task, Xiao Fei alone is not enough...
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law chatted happily. At some point, Xiao Xiaoyu looked away and looked at the two of them, with big eyes rolling around, looking at Nangong Yue for a while, and Xiao Fei for a while, and said "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee" twice , but no one cares...
The little guy's pink mouth was deflated, and he cried "wow", his big eyes were wet, and he was extremely wronged.
Xiao Fei was panicked and at a loss what to do. Nangong Yue hurriedly hugged the little guy. As soon as the little guy smelled the familiar smell from his mother, he stopped crying immediately and just smacked his mouth.
Nangong Yue smiled, and patted the little guy on the back, "Brother Yu is hungry!"
Knowing that her sister-in-law was going to breastfeed her little nephew, Xiao Fei hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Looking at Xiao Fei's slender but resolute back, Nangong Yue felt relieved, as long as she has sustenance, life can go on, it seems that she doesn't have to worry about Xiao Fei for the time being... The most urgent thing is to serve her little ancestor!
Since this day, Xiao Fei has been busy. On the one hand, she has to help Nangong Yue manage Zhongfu in the palace, and on the other hand, she has to start preparations for the charity hall. Every day is full of responsibility.
Regarding the matter of Shantang, Nangong Yue didn't ask much, and let Xiao Fei do it by herself.
As the fragrance of the lotus became stronger and stronger, the weather became hotter and hotter, and it was the same from southern Xinjiang to Wangdu.
The emperor officially issued a decree to announce the world. In this decree, the emperor first counted the three crimes committed by the Zhennan Palace:
First, the Zhennan Palace despised the imperial court and refused to obey the edict.
Second, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was at a disadvantage in the battle against Baiyue.
Third, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion did not manage the vassal land well, resulting in endless wars in southern Xinjiang.
Then, the emperor ordered the Zhennan Palace to self-examine. The southern border has been fighting for years, and the refugees are suffering. It is necessary to persuade the people to return to their hometowns, let the people recuperate, restore the economy, let the soldiers disarm and return to the fields, engage in production, and reduce taxes appropriately. Exemption from civil corvee.
At the end of the Ming decree, the emperor also appointed Marquis Pingyang as the envoy to supervise the south, temporarily acting as the king of Zhennan to take over the political affairs of southern Xinjiang.
On the surface, the emperor was concerned about the years of war in southern Xinjiang and the exhaustion of the people, so he sent an official to help manage the political affairs in southern Xinjiang, but everyone knew the true intention of the emperor's decree—
Cut the domain.
When King Zhennan received the emperor's will from Pingyanghou, he was angry and worried. He barely suppressed the anger in his heart and sent Pingyanghou away.
Afterwards, King Zhennan immediately called for Xiao Yi.
"Nizi," Zhennan Wang resisted the urge to throw the imperial decree on Xiao Yi's head, pointed at Xiao Yi's nose with the imperial decree in his hand, and angrily said, "It's all because of you! The Zhennan Palace was built by your grandfather with blood and life." You are about to lose it, and you will be killed, your grandfather loved you since childhood, think about it, you are so unfilial, disloyal, and reckless, do you deserve your grandfather's love for you?"
The more Zhennan Wang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he really wanted to slap this Nizi severely. But this rebellious son's wings are hardened now, and he can't afford to train him!
From the moment Xiao Yi entered the room, he looked like he hadn't woken up. King Zhennan just said a few words, and he yawned twice, and let the king of Zhennan scold him without changing his face.
Seeing that his father finally ran out of words, Xiao Yi just waved his hand and said lightly: "I said father, anyway, the throne will pass to my brat sooner or later, if you can't lose it, you don't have to worry about it. "
"Brother Yu..." Thinking of his precious grandson, King Zhennan became even more worried: This Nizi said it nicely, but can the throne really be handed over to Brother Yu? Won't he be defeated by Brother Yu and his father
An imperial decree made the King of Zhennan so worried that he almost turned his head all night, and at the same time, another huge wave was set off in Luoyue City, which made people panic all over Luoyue City. The sky above Luoyue City seemed to be covered with thick clouds, layer upon layer. , the air was heavy, and even ordinary people began to worry about the future of southern Xinjiang...
No one expected that the Zhennan Palace suddenly made a move.
Xiao Yi, the son of Zhennan Prince, blatantly expelled Marquis Pingyang from southern Xinjiang, and said that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has been in southern Xinjiang for decades since the old Zhennan King, leading 200,000 southern border troops in bloody battlefields, and experienced hundreds of wars. Sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers was the only way to defend Dayu Nanping and protect Dayu's splendid country. However, the emperor is now being deceived by the emperor and ordered to persecute loyal officials, which chilled the hearts of all the soldiers in southern Xinjiang.
Thousands of layers of waves were created, and the hearts of the people in southern Xinjiang were stirred up. Clusters of flames were ignited in the hearts of the people and soldiers in southern Xinjiang, and they burned more and more...
