Nangong Yue ordered them to inquire about all the maids serving in the courtyard, and then discussed drawing up a list for her to see which ones to take to Southern Xinjiang. After all, the royal capital still needs to stay. Some people look after the house.
Nangong Yue added: "The prince and I will not bring too many people back this time. Except for a few of you who serve personally, the rest can be as few as possible. The only important thing is loyalty."
Baihui and the others looked at each other and figured it out.
At this time, someone will be taken away by his master. The first condition is naturally that he is loyal and capable, and the master can like him. Secondly, it depends on the other party's wishes. As the saying goes: "As people climb higher, water flows lower." In most cases, slaves are naturally willing to leave with their masters to seek a better future, but some people will choose to stay for some other reasons—— For example, Yimei will stay in the capital to help Nangong Yue continue to look after Hua Yan, so her husband Sun Ye will also stay in the capital.
People’s hearts are complex, and although they cannot be perfect, Nangong Yue is not familiar with the place when she goes to southern Xinjiang. The Zhennan Palace is a bit complicated, and it is hard to say what kind of situation she will encounter when she arrives, so at least the people she brings with her There cannot be any hidden dangers.
Although he left a big burden to Baihui and the others to worry about, Nangong Yue did not feel much relieved. In the following days, Nangong Yue became busier and busier. On the one hand, she was busy packing up the gifts and on the other hand. Say goodbye to familiar people one by one.
Especially my grandfather Lin Jingchen.
On the day he received the imperial edict, Xiao Yi accompanied Nangong Yue to the Lin residence.
When he learned that they were going to southern Xinjiang, Lin Jingchen pondered for a moment, stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Yueer, Ayi, I am planning to go to the south, why don't you just give me a ride."
"Grandpa..." Nangong Yue was surprised at first, and then a little confused.
I heard Lin Jingchen say with a smile: "After years of experience, your cousin is almost able to stand alone, and there is no need for me to watch here. I was just thinking about walking around. I heard that Southern Xinjiang There are a lot of rare medicinal materials over there."
Xiao Yi was overjoyed. He was originally worried that Nangong Yue would be lost, lonely, and sad after leaving the royal capital and her family. Now that her grandfather is willing to go with them, it’s great! Grandpa was really his savior!
Xiao Yi smiled brightly and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, grandpa, please come with us. There is nothing else in our southern Xinjiang, but there are 100,000 mountains for you, grandpa, to roam."
After hearing about Shiwandashan, Lin Jingchen could not help but look forward to it, and sighed: "It is said in Dayu Jiuzhou Chronicles that Shiwandashan can be said to have no mountains without green, no peaks without beauty, no rocks without wonders, and no water without springs. . There are many rare birds and animals, exotic flowers and famous medicines, many of which have never been heard of by doctors. I believe that my trip will be fruitful!"
For ordinary people, Shiwandashan is a barbaric land filled with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, which are difficult to avoid, but for doctors like Lin Jingchen, it seems like a fairyland.
Looking at Lin Jingchen's radiant face, Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile even more. She knew that her grandfather liked to travel around, and the past few years in the royal capital had actually bored him.
Nangong Yue proposed enthusiastically: "Grandpa, in ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and wrote the "Shen Nong's Medicine Classic". How about Yue'er help you sort out the notes and compile a "Lin's Medicine Classic"?
Lin Jingchen thought thoughtfully and said: "It's really time to sort out some of my notes over the years. Yue'er, your grandfather understood your thoughts. But you are now the Crown Princess of Zhennan. Waiting for you to return with A Yi In southern Xinjiang, there are many trivial matters, so you should arrange your family affairs first."
"Grandpa, can't I do it little by little?"
Nangong Yue held Lin Jingchen's arm and acted coquettishly. The slight melancholy that was lingering in her heart because she would soon be separated from her family and friends finally dissipated a lot at this moment.
It was past time when I came back from Linzhai, and there was an extra visitor in the Zhennan Palace - Fu Yunhe.
Xiao Yi was a little surprised, then he greeted with a smile: "Xiao Hezi, it's not the farewell party yet, why are you here."
"Brother, sister-in-law, you are finally back!" Fu Yunhe couldn't wait any longer and almost wanted to go find them. When he saw them coming back, he said with joy on his face, "Grandma asked me to go to southern Xinjiang with you. She had already spoken to the emperor when she entered the palace, and the emperor agreed!"
When his grandmother asked him if he would like to go to southern Xinjiang, Fu Yunhe immediately agreed.
Although southern Xinjiang is far less prosperous than the royal capital, and it is difficult to maintain the life of fine clothing and fine food as now when away from home, the days when he followed Xiao Yi into battle to kill the enemy the year before last were the most fulfilling time in Fu Yunhe's life. .
Even though it may take several years before he can return to the capital, Fu Yunhe still has no regrets.
Xiao Yi was a little surprised, then he smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Well done, Xiao Hezi, when we get to Southern Xinjiang, your eldest brother, I will train you well and keep you for a few years to be given to Grandma Yongyang. I’m impressed.”
Fu Yunhe's smile froze on his face, recalling those days in southern Xinjiang... No, he didn't really want to recall it.
Hmm!
Maybe my mother is right, why should he go to southern Xinjiang if he is such a happy young man?
Fu Yunhe wants to cry but has no tears, can he still regret it now?
"Uh, brother, I won't bother you and my sister-in-law to clean up. I, I'll go back first..." Fu Yunhe smiled dryly, carefully stepped back a few steps, and disappeared after a while.
Nangong Yue was stunned and couldn't help but chuckle.
She is really curious about what kind of treatment Fu Yunhe received when he went to southern Xinjiang with Xiao Yi that day, and why he is so scared just by mentioning it...
It would be great if Fu Yunhe could join them! Although Xiao Yi didn't say anything, Nangong Yue knew that he also felt a lot of reluctance in the royal capital.
After all, this life is completely different from the previous one!
The emperor only gave them three days to pack their bags. In fact, their things were almost packed. Except for some personal belongings and important items, most of them were left in the royal capital. This was also to show the emperor's attitude that they were not Never come back.
When he went to the palace to say goodbye, Xiao Yi even cheerfully said that he would bring Nangong Yue back to congratulate him on his 40th birthday in a few years.
The emperor was very happy when he heard this.
Xiao Yi didn't just say it casually. He had already planned it. After his power in southern Xinjiang was stable, he would take Nangong Yue back to the capital to visit his relatives.
His stinky girl will definitely be happy!
This day was also the day when their friends in the capital prepared a farewell banquet for them. Soon after the two returned from the palace, they all came one after another, and everyone arrived earlier than the time agreed on the post. Quite a few, even Yuan Lingbai, who always likes to be late.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue are leaving, and their black dog Shitou will also go to southern Xinjiang with his owner. Therefore, Fu Yunyan and the others also brought over their family’s fine dogs today. Former Lingbai’s Heizi, Fu Yunyan On a sunny day, Nangong Xin’s darkness and silence...
The smart little dogs seem to have felt the atmosphere of parting. In the past, when they gathered together, they would bark constantly, tossing around and having fun, like prisoners who had just been released from prison. The same thing, but today, they came together to smell and lick each other, whimpering from time to time, as if they wanted to remember each other's taste.
Nangong Yue, Xiao Yi and Xiao Fei personally welcomed guests at the second gate. It was the first time that the second gate of Zhennan Palace was so lively, but everyone's eyes were full of reluctance to say goodbye.
Southern Xinjiang and the royal capital are more than a thousand miles apart. After this separation, we don’t know when we will see each other again.
Everyone has a thousand things to say, but they just don’t know where to start...
"Yue'er..." Just looking at Nangong Yue, Yuan Yuyi's eyes were already red. She thought that when she and Han Qixia got married in the future, it would not be as convenient for everyone to meet and play together as in the boudoir. , but I didn’t expect that the biggest obstacle would be the distance of thousands of mountains and rivers. She will never see Yue'er again...
Seeing her crying, even Han Qixia's eyes turned red.
Seeing this, Fu Yunyan pouted slightly, deliberately made a look of disgust, and said in a scolding tone: "Wipe your tears! Don't you all cry! Be careful that the rouge on your face will be stained by crying. A good farewell party has turned into a big show! My brother is leaving too, and you can see that I’m not even crying!"
As she said that, she had already shed tears, but she held back the tears and looked at Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue with a reddish nose, "Besides, it's not A Yi and A Yue who are leaving, it's A Yi and Nangong Yue who are leaving. Yi is going to take Ayue home!"
For a moment, everyone looked moved.
Yes! Liu Niang is right.
They have been together for so long that they almost forget that Wangdu is not Xiao Yi's home. Xiao Yi's home is far away on the other side of Dayu, and Southern Xinjiang is his home.
"Well said!" Fu Yunhe gave Fu Yunyan a rare look of appreciation. He was about to leave home and felt a little complicated. He pretended to be bold and said in a loud voice, "We will not return until we are drunk today!"
Yuan Yuyi took a deep breath to calm down her emotions. She didn't want to ruin everyone's mood because of her, so she used a brisk tone to lighten the atmosphere and said, "That's what Cousin He said. In the past, Yue'er didn't allow us to drink in her house because she was afraid that our family would bury her. So today She has to give us all the wine she didn’t drink at once!"
"Okay, okay!" Nangong Yue said jokingly, "Don't worry! I can't guarantee anything else today, but I'll make sure I have enough wine..."
One sentence made them all laugh.
As the old saying goes, all the feasts in life come to an end!
Even if they are separated the next day, this friendship will always be engraved in their hearts...
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi led everyone to the small flower hall. In the past, they always had endless topics to talk about, chatting and laughing, but today everyone was silent along the way, and they were full of words. The spring color of the garden cannot even be reflected in the eyes.
Xiao Fei had not known each other for a long time, but she could not help but be infected by this feeling of separation, and followed Nangong Yue silently.
The small flower hall has already been decorated, from decorative vases and screens to tables and chairs for banquets, various snacks and fruits... The maids are waiting aside, just waiting for the master and guests to take their seats.
After everyone was seated, the maid skillfully served a round of dishes first, which were all dazzling in color, aroma and taste.
Han Huaijun and Jiang Yixi suddenly stood up with full glasses of wine in their hands, followed by others who also stood up one after another with glasses of wine in their hands, all looking at Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and Fu Yunhe solemnly.
Han Huaijun said loudly to Xiao Yi: "Brother, there is an ancient poem saying: 'I advise you to drink one more glass of wine, and there will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west.' You, sister-in-law and cousin He will be leaving in two days. Today I will leave Here’s a toast to you, as a farewell to you in advance!” After saying that, he and the others drank the contents of the cup in one go, and then pointed the empty rim of the cup towards Xiao Yi.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Yi also looked at the crowd deeply and drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp. The corners of his usually smiling mouth turned into a straight line today.
He knew earlier than anyone else that the day of separation would eventually come, and he did not want to leave, but just like his grandfather once taught him when he was still alive, some things had to be done!
Farewell is imminent, and their words become so pale and weak. All they can do is drink, drink, drink... The smell of wine is so intoxicating that everyone's cheeks are stained with a light rouge color, and their eyes are filled with tears. There was a slight mist.
When the wine was full, Chen Quying, who was slightly smoked, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Ayi, I remember that the last time we bet was a draw, why don't we make another bet."
"What to bet on?"
Before Xiao Yi could answer, Yuan Lingbai and Fu Yunhe couldn't wait to blurt out, their eyes full of interest.
Chen Quying deliberately drank half a glass of wine, then looked into Xiao Yi's eyes and said slowly: "Bet on whether I can be named on the gold medal list in three years!" His father told him that as long as he didn't go to high school for a day, , he must study obediently in the Imperial College. Once he is named on the gold medal list, his father will no longer restrain him. He can go out or travel around if he wants. In short, he only needs to know what he wants.
Yuan Lingbai and Fu Yunhe couldn't help but glance at each other. Ouch, Ah Ying is really arrogant. Does he think "Golden List" is his backyard? We must know that "excellence in learning leads to officialdom". The lifelong goal of thousands of scholars is to be named on the gold list. For example, the "Three Character Classic" says: "If Liang Hao is eighty-two. To the great court, he will be the best." Liang Hao read it. After studying all his life, he won the first prize at the age of eighty-two. The imperial examination is not just as simple as "ten years of hard work"!
"Aying, your tone is loud enough, I like it!" Yuan Lingbai said with a playful smile.
Xiao Yi also laughed and said provocatively: "This is not exciting. According to me, you should bet on whether you can be among the top three!"
Yuan Lingbai and Fu Yunhe shrank silently, the eldest brother is so cruel!
Chen Quying squinted her eyes and stretched out her right palm, "Is it settled?"
The two high-fived each other and then drank another glass of wine.
Yuan Lingbai and Fu Yunhe were really worried about the chaos in the world, so they both smiled and volunteered to be witnesses.
The atmosphere was so warm that for a moment everyone seemed to have forgotten that they were about to leave.
When the sun goes down, everyone will finally say goodbye. Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi personally sent them to the second gate.
"Brother, Xiao Hezi..." Yuan Lingbai slumped his shoulders dejectedly, feeling that he had been abandoned by Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe again.
But it doesn’t matter! Yuan Lingbai also cheered up. Recently, his mother had become somewhat relieved from his entanglement. He believed that if he continued to entangle him for a while, his mother might find him annoying and send him to southern Xinjiang!
Thinking of this, Yuan Lingbai cheered up and said, "Brother, Xiao Hezi, I will definitely go to southern Xinjiang to meet you in the future!" Even if his mother doesn't allow him to seek employment, he can still travel and have fun, right?
"As long as you come, I'll take care of you!" Xiao Yi said with a smile, patting Yuan Lingbai on the shoulder, "Take care!"
"Sister Yi, Sister Xi, Liu Niang, Sister Xia," Nangong Yue looked around at the girls and said, "I have a gift for you."
With a look from her, several maids brought out all the wine jars that had been prepared.
Nangong Yue has been hiding these jars of wine for half a year, and now she takes them out, not only as a parting gift, but also as a thought.
Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai didn't know what was going on, but Yuan Yuyi had already remembered it and couldn't help but cry again. She choked and said, "Yue'er, it's the osmanthus wine we brewed together last year. ?"
Last year, when they were staying at Yinglan Palace to escape the summer heat, they brewed osmanthus wine together and made an appointment to drink the osmanthus wine together one year later. Who knows, they will be separated in less than a year.
The scenes at that time also appeared in Fu Yunyan's mind. The sadness that had been suppressed seemed to suddenly appear in the dam at this moment, and emotions surged in his heart.
"Sister Xi, Sister Yi, Liu Niang, Sister Xia," Nangong Yue smiled and warned, "You must store it well. When the osmanthus blooms this year, you can drink this osmanthus wine."
"Yue'er (Sister Yue), I will put it away well..."
When the osmanthus blooms this fall, although they can't get together, they can at least drink this osmanthus wine to the moon together!
In the evening, Xiao Yi's younger brothers in the capital booked the Guiyuan Pavilion to see him off. By the time Xiao Yi returned to Zhennan Palace with a strong smell of alcohol, it was already past Haishi.
The night passed by in a hurry, and at dawn, it was the day when Nangong Yue and the others set off for southern Xinjiang.
They drove less and less, and the group looked extremely simple. There were only a few horses and carriages, and all their belongings were packed in the last carriage. They did not look like they were moving as a family at all.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi didn’t have anyone come over to see them off. Anyway, they had already said what needed to be said, so there was no need to see them off again.
They made an appointment to meet Lin Jingchen and Fu Yunhe at the south city gate, and then officially set off.
Nangong Yue, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but lift the curtain by the window and looked back at the royal capital.
The Royal Capital is not the place where she was born, but it is the place where she has lived for the longest time in her past and present lives combined, and it is also the place where she is most unforgettable.
The past flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, and a touch of sweetness and reluctance welled up in her heart.
In comparison, Xiao Fei, who was riding with Nangong Yue, was less sad about separation and more looking forward to returning to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible.
She is going home with her eldest brother and sister-in-law!
Xiao Fei did not disturb Nangong Yue. She knew that her sister-in-law must be in a very complicated mood at this moment.
At this time, Xiao Yi's voice came from outside the carriage: "Ah Yue!"
At the same time, the carriage slowed down and then stopped.
Nangong Yue opened the curtains again, looked at Xiao Yi outside the carriage, and asked with her eyes.
Xiao Yi pointed in the direction of the royal capital, with a pair of peach blossom eyes shining brightly, "Ah Yue, look!" Fu Yunhe, who was also riding on the horse, was also looking in the same direction, with a bright smile emerging from the corner of his mouth.
Nangong Yue looked back at the royal capital again and saw huge fireworks blooming in the gloomy sky. Although they were not as dazzling as the fireworks at night, in the eyes of Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi, these fireworks were theirs The most beautiful fireworks I have ever seen.
Xiao Fei also looked at the sky of the royal capital from the window on the other side, and she knew it in her heart.
Who would set off fireworks in broad daylight?
They must be the friends of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, right?
It’s great to have such a friend!
When the last firework bloomed in the sky, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue did not immediately look away. They stared blankly for a while. Then Xiao Yi said: "Let's go!"
Fu Yunhe nodded in agreement, then waved his riding whip handsomely and rode away.
The curtain of the Zhu Lun Chariot was lowered, the horses' hooves flew, and the convoy continued to move forward, faster and faster, and this time it never stopped...
Nangong Yue never opened the curtain and looked back...
She has already made her choice, so she has no regrets.
No matter where she goes, she will always be with A Yi...
On this day, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue left the royal capital together.
Just a few days later, Han Qixia, the eldest daughter of Prince Qi’s Mansion, threw herself into a lake on her way to offer incense...
