www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
After Han Qixia was sent back to Lin Zhai, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei returned to Zhennan Palace.
After going out today, Xiao Fei already felt that she had benefited a lot and found that the one hundred taels of silver she planned could do much more than she expected. She couldn't wait to return to Yuebiju, write down today's accounts one by one, and then think about the plan of giving herbal tea.
After having some lunch at Bixiaotang, Xiao Fei left. After digesting her food, Nangong Yue and Baihui stayed in the pharmacy and began to develop a new herbal tea recipe.
Remembering that it had been a long time since she had made herbal tea by herself, Nangong Yue started doing it herself with great interest.
Heat the pot, then pour the prepared medicinal ingredients into the pot, stir-fry repeatedly while carefully paying attention to the heat...
At this moment, a little maid's voice sounded cautiously at the door of the pharmacy: "Prince Concubine, Concubine Wei is here."
Nangong Yue was stunned, and temporarily left the job of frying medicine to Baihui, and then ordered the maid to invite the Wei family to the East Room.
After she went to change her clothes first, she also rushed to Toji Room.
After greeting each other, the two sat down on an Arhat bed, separated by a small table.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Mrs. Wei had a faint smile on her lips and said tactfully: "Prince Concubine, I came here this time to transfer this to the Crown Princess." As she said that, she started from The maid next to her took a list and put it on the table.
Nangong Yue picked up the list, glanced at it, raised her eyebrows slightly, and heard Mrs. Wei say with a smile: "Prince Concubine, in the past few days, the palace has received a lot of congratulatory gifts for the Crown Prince. I have already asked for permission. After passing the prince, the prince also felt that these gifts should be handed over to Bixiaotang, so I came over. This is the gift list that I ordered someone to compile, and I asked the imperial concubine to have a look."
Although Nangong Yue only took a cursory glance, she could already see that many of the items on the gift list were very valuable, including a jasper-inlaid white ink bed, two calligraphy and paintings by the former master Li Mozhi, and a red gold head and face worth more than ninety yuan. , Ding kiln blue and white porcelain plum vase...
Not to mention that this jasper-inlaid white ink bed is worth thousands of taels, but Li Mozhi’s calligraphy and paintings are valuable and rare. If you don’t have any connections, you may not be able to find a place to buy them even if you want to buy them... These gift-givers are very Obviously a lot of thought was put into it.
Since ancient times, many large families have three or four generations living under the same roof. According to etiquette, as long as the families are not divided into several houses, the congratulatory gifts for weddings and weddings are all sent out by the middle school. Therefore, the congratulatory gifts received Most of them naturally belong to the public.
Since the congratulatory gifts sent today were sent to the concierge at the main entrance of the palace, they can be returned to the palace. The Wei family was willing to send such an expensive gift to Bixiaotang. It was obvious that the Wei family was showing her sincerity to herself.
Nangong Yue pursed her lips thoughtfully, glanced at Wei, and keenly noticed a trace of nervousness in the other person's eyes, as if she was afraid that she would refuse.
Nangong Yue bowed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Concubine Wei." The implication was that she wanted to accept these gifts.
As long as the Crown Princess is willing to accept it. Mrs. Wei was obviously relieved, and the smile on her face became much closer. After chatting with her for a while, she wisely said goodbye. Not long after she left, some rough ladies carried some heavy camphor wood boxes, saying that Concubine Wei ordered them to bring them.
These boxes filled the main room. After Baihui checked the gift list given by Wei, she looked surprised and hurriedly called Nangong Yue over.
"Prince Concubine, look." Baihui took out a pair of dragon and phoenix white jade pendants from a box, and saw that the jade quality of the jade pendants was crystal clear and white, fine, warm, and without a trace of color throughout the body. It can be said that " "As white as cut fat."
"This is mutton-fat white jade..." Nangong Yue said slightly surprised, "and it's also seed jade." Seed jade is extremely rare among mutton-fat white jade.
Baihui showed Nangong Yue a certain item in the gift list in her hand. What was clearly written on the list was a pair of dragon and phoenix and Tian Jade pendants.
Suet-fat white jade is the best jade species among Hotan jade, and the person giving it as a gift also takes great pains.
With such a special case in mind, Baihui and the others became even more cautious, comparing the physical objects to the gift list one by one and registering them in a book.
As for the pair of mutton-fat white jade pendants, she simply kept them with her. People can raise jade, but it would be a waste of such good jade to be kept in the warehouse.
"Prince Concubine," Baihui came over to report after counting the gifts, "then I will go to the warehouse to store these things."
Nangong Yue was about to nod, but suddenly stood up: "Let me go and see with you."
A few days ago, most of the things in Xiao Yi's private treasury were moved over and re-created. But Nangong Yue thought that there would only be more and more things in their warehouse in the future, so she opened two more warehouses and asked people to organize them by category.
She also happened to see how the warehouse was being organized.
The arrival of the imperial concubine made the woman in charge of the warehouse immediately tremble with fear. The warehouse is being tidied up these days, so it is actually a bit messy inside...
Fortunately, seeing that the Crown Princess did not show any displeasure, the mother-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
Nangong Yue casually walked around the warehouse and saw some scrolls placed in a wooden box, so she took out a few and looked at them, and happened to see a "Picture of the Game under the Plum Blossom". Lit, bright.
Xiao Fei will definitely like this painting.
Nangong Yue rolled up the painting and handed it to Baihui...
Nangong Yue was about to take a look again, but she heard a little maid running over panting, out of breath and reported: "Shi, the eldest concubine, the eldest son is back! He has... arrived in the east. The ceremony is over!"
Ayi is back! ? Although Nangong Yue knew that Xiao Yi would not be away for too long, she did not expect him to come back so quickly.
Nangong Yue hurriedly ordered: "Bai Hui, Que'er, go and get ready..." With that, Nangong Yue couldn't wait to walk out of the warehouse and hurried to the second door.
Before she reached the second gate, she already saw Xiao Yi coming towards her on a cobblestone path, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"Ayi!"
Xiao Yi hurried back quickly, still carrying the dust from the journey.
If he were not afraid of soiling his stinky girl, he would have just picked her up regardless... But in the end, the excitement, excitement, longing, and guilt in his heart... could only be reduced to one sentence:
"I'm back!"
He's back!
This time, he finally didn’t keep her waiting too long!
Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue with burning eyes and took her hand. At this time, he could not see the maids behind Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her. She could almost imagine the teasing looks in the maids' eyes.
"Ayi, you are back!"
The two of them didn't speak anymore, and walked hand in hand to the yard where they lived. They looked at each other from time to time, and a faint warmth flowed in their eyes... Sometimes, there is no need for words, as long as you can Hold each other's hands, and you will understand each other's thoughts through the contact between palms.
After Xiao Yi took a shower and changed clothes, the two began to talk about their daily life. The first thing they wanted to talk about was about Fu Yunhe——
"...Xiao Hezi will stay in Kailian City temporarily." Xiao Yi said, and then explained, "He just led the Xuanjia Army to a great victory, so I simply let him stay in the Xuanjia Army. Here, continue to clean up those ignorant bandits around the border."
"How is Kai Liancheng?"
"Excellent." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "The cities of Fuzhong and Kailian have recovered to a great extent, and those who had to leave their hometowns and leave these two cities during the war have also begun to arrive one after another. Back..." Even more people from southern Xinjiang will come to Fuzhong and Kailian. He wants to make these two cities the most prosperous and lively towns besides Luoyue City! No, it will definitely beat Luo Yuecheng!
The smile in Xiao Yi's eyes grew even more, and he said: "Smelly girl, after you settle down, I will take you there."
Nangong Yue nodded vigorously. She also wanted to see how prosperous the two cities that Xiao Yi had personally managed would be managed.
Xiao Yi took out all the local products he brought from Kailian City and presented them to Nangong Yue, especially the two clay dolls, which made Nangong Yue smile with a thick smile on his face. Then, a look of shame stained her face, making her even more charming.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but be stunned, hugged her and kissed her **** her pink cheek.
Xiao Yi was not willing to let her go for a moment. He held her in his arms and asked about her affairs in the house, for fear that Nangong Yue would be bullied while he was away.
Nangong Yue said with a smile that she had tidied up Bixiao Hall; that Concubine Wei showed her favor to her; that she and Xiao Fei were composing residual music together; that... when it came to Fang Shilei's arrival When they were staying in the mansion, Nangong Yue couldn't help but frowned and said, "I really don't know what Madam is thinking. It is clear that the young master of the Fang family and Sister Fei are not a good match at all, yet she still keeps someone living in the mansion. With..."
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. Fang Shilei was so ignorant that he dared to make his stinky girl unhappy. He couldn't bear it!
Xiao Yi said with a smile but not a smile: "It's just a concubine of the Fang family, that is, Madam thinks he will be worthy of the eldest daughter of the palace." He didn't bother to care who Xiao Fei married, but if Xiao Fei married If Fei isn't married well, the stinky girl might be worried, but that's not okay!
Speaking of the Fang family, Nangong Yue sat up straight, looked at him seriously and asked, "Ayi, can you tell me about the Fang family?"
After all this time, Nangong Yue has never heard Xiao Yi mention his mother's family.
Nangong Yue only knew that Xiao Yi's mother came from the eldest family of the Fang family and was the eldest daughter of the eldest family. Other than that, she knew nothing else. Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder why, after her mother-in-law passed away, the Fang family allowed Xiao Yi to live alone under the hands of the young Fang family. She was praised and killed, and was raised as a dandy and ignored .
It’s just that I was in the royal capital before.
Now that I have come to southern Xinjiang, I have to go to the Fang family to pay respects, recognize a relative, etc., so this problem cannot be avoided.
When it comes to the Fang family, Xiao Yi said somewhat casually: "The Fang family is a large local family in southern Xinjiang. They probably migrated from the north more than 300 years ago..."
The surname "Fang" was the national surname of the Chong Dynasty more than 300 years ago. It is said that at that time, the dynasties changed and wars broke out. The royal family of the distant branch moved all the way south to southern Xinjiang for refuge. From then on, they settled down and gradually became One of the four major families in southern Xinjiang.
The biggest resource in the hands of the Fang family is the mines. Nearly half of the mineral veins discovered in southern Xinjiang are in the hands of the Fang family.
As we all know, fighting requires weapons, and weapons require iron ore. For Zhennan Palace, the Fang family holds a lifeline.
Old Zhennan King arrived in Southern Xinjiang early that year and was unfamiliar with the place. The major families in Southern Xinjiang were wary of him. In order to ease the conflict, he thought of a marriage with Southern Xinjiang, and after repeated consideration, he chose the Fang family. .
Because the Fang family held a large amount of mineral veins in their hands, they were afraid that the Zhennan Palace would punish them for carrying a jade, so they readily agreed to the marriage.
The marriage between the eldest daughter of Fang’s family and the eldest son of the King of Zhennan caused a sensation in southern Xinjiang and made others envious.
As a result, the relationship between the Zhennan Palace and the various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang gradually eased.
But Miss Fang passed away due to dystocia a year and a half after her marriage.
Later, it was said that a girl from the concubine of the Fang family had a deep relationship with her eldest sister, and could not bear the eldest sister's youngest son being left alone, so she resolutely married into the Zhennan Prince's Palace and became a step-in-law to fill the house. The people in southern Xinjiang thought of her high righteousness and praised her as a rare and wonderful woman in the world...
Hearing this, Nangong Yue looked at him blankly and asked: "It is said... who said this?"
Xiao Yi shrugged, "It's in the play. I used to watch this kind of play when I was in southern Xinjiang..."
