"Mother Chu," Nangong Yue said warmly, "since you are an old man in the Fang Mansion, you must have served your mother and concubine for many years, right?"
Nanny Chu didn’t expect that Nangong Yue would suddenly speak to her. She was stunned for a moment, and then respectfully replied: “Hui, Princess, I have been with the late Princess since she moved to Qiwu Garden when she was nine years old. Serve by your side."
As she spoke, she puffed up her chest proudly and said, "I am the steward of Qiwu Garden, and I manage the yard together with the late princess's wet nurse, Grandma Lu. Later, when the late princess got married when she was fifteen, my servant He and Aunt Lu came to the palace as a companion to the late princess. The former princess thought highly of her, and the slave girl also helped the princess take care of the trivial matters in the yard when she was in Bixiaotang."
Nangong Yue responded lightly, and when Aunt Chu saw that she did not show any signs of impatience, she continued: "The late Princess always had her slaves accompany her when she returned to Ning, and asked Aunt Lu to stay at Bixiaotang. "As she said this, she thought to herself: The Crown Princess is a smart person, she should understand her hint, right? He was the first person in front of the late princess!
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said casually: "Since I used to serve near my mother and concubine, I must know a lot about my mother and concubine's affairs?"
Seeing that Nangong Yue's attitude towards her was much better, Nanny Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought: She was still too impatient before. It seems that we still need to win the trust of the Crown Princess first, and then we can give advice later.
"That's natural." Aunt Chu said hurriedly, "I still remember that the late princess liked to eat milk cakes made by me the most when she was alive...and the prince," she slowed down her steps and looked at her. Xiang Xiao Yi, with a look of nostalgia on his wrinkled face, "The prince also liked it very much when he was a child..."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows, showing some interest. It turns out that A Yi has liked eating milk pancakes since she was a child.
Nangong Yue said: "Then I will ask grandma for advice on how to make milk cakes someday."
When Aunt Chu heard this, she secretly said with joy: Could it be that the prince still likes to eat milk cakes now, so he has to show off well!
Thinking about it, she suddenly became energetic, respectfully echoed her words, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, after turning right in front, you will find Qiwu Garden further ahead."
As they spoke, they turned right along a section of the corridor.
While admiring the scenery, Nangong Yue asked seemingly casually: "Aunt Chu, where is the rockery in this mansion?"
Could it be that the Crown Princess likes rockeries? While thinking about it in her mind, Aunt Chu replied warmly: "Huishi Concubine, there are some in the big garden, and there are also some in the small garden next to Qiwu Garden. However, the rockery in this small garden is Taihu stone, and the big one has it." The rockery in the garden is made of thousand-layer stone, which is far inferior to the Taihu stone. In the past, every time when the late princess returned to Ning when she was still alive, she would go to the small garden to admire the stone." Aunt Chu said with a look of nostalgia on her face. .
Nangong Yue frowned slightly and quickly exchanged a look with Xiao Yi. She was still guessing where the garden and rockery mentioned by Sun Xinyi's aunt were. Now judging from Aunt Chu's words, it is likely that Eighty-nine is the Taihu stone in this small garden.
Nangong Yue then ordered: "Aunt Chu, please take me and the prince to see the small garden."
Could it be that the person who likes rockery is actually the prince? Aunt Chu glanced at Xiao Yi quickly, not daring to ask any more questions, and answered hurriedly.
A few people temporarily changed their route and walked towards a bluestone path on the right. After passing through a small bamboo forest, a small garden came into view in front of them.
Nanny Chu hurriedly introduced: "The Crown Princess is this small garden."
While talking, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi were led into the small garden by Aunt Chu.
At this time, the red sun has begun to set in the west, casting soft red light, covering the flowers, plants, pavilions in the small garden with a thin layer of red gauze.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi walked side by side along a cobblestone path. Nangong Yue talked to Xiao Yi about the flowers and plants around them from time to time.
She didn't seem to care, but she had actually noticed that this small garden had obviously been neglected over the years. Many plants had been pruned recently, and some potted plants should have been temporarily placed in the flower bed to fill the gap. .
After leaving, the tea was cold... A trace of emotion flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes. After walking half a circle around the small garden, Nanny Chu said again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that's right in front of you." She pointed to the pond in front of her. There is a rugged and exquisite rockery on the side.
Nangong Yue smiled and said to Xiao Yi: "Ayi, this Taihu Stone really deserves its reputation!"
Xiao Yi stared at the rockery stone a few feet away, with a dark look in his peach blossom eyes. After a while, he said casually: "Pangu is vigorous and graceful. Is this the Jingshan Taihu stone?"
"Your Majesty, you have such good taste." Aunt Chu praised hurriedly, her eyes narrowed as she smiled, "This Taihu stone was specially made by the old lady when the late princess moved to Qiwu Garden. I paid a thousand gold to transport it from Jingshan Mountain, and also ordered people to build a pond here. The late princess liked it very much, and when she was in the mansion, she would often sit in the octagonal pavilion by the rockery, enjoy the flowers and play the piano..."
"This is a good place." Nangong Yue suggested with a smile, "Ayi, let's go sit in the pavilion for a while."
Xiao Yi responded, and the two of them went to the Bajiao Pavilion.
After the two sat down on the handrail bench in the pavilion, they looked in the direction of the rockery and saw the setting sun revealing half of its head above the rockery. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the pond beside it, forming a rippling patch of water. Dazzling waves.
This octagonal pavilion is probably the most suitable place for enjoying the scenery in this small garden. It contains the loving heart of Mr. Fang for his daughter... Nangong Yue felt that her eyes were a little sore, but she still tried to calmly say: "Mother Chu, I heard that one year, when my mother-in-law was pregnant and returned to Fang Mansion for a visit, Fang Mansion seemed to have seen blood..."
Most of what happened so many years ago, Aunt Chu can’t remember very clearly, but that time was an exception. That time was the last time Dafang returned to Ning before she passed away, not to mention that that day something happened in the house. Waiting for something. Although they are just two rough servants, the Fang family is a benevolent family and they are always kind to their servants. Even if the slaves commit crimes, they will only slap a few slaps on them and sell them out... It's no wonder that The two little maids acted frivolously and recklessly, and they accidentally bumped into their master!
However, why did the Crown Princess even hear about what happened more than ten years ago, and even asked specifically about it... Could it be that the Crown Princess wanted to test herself?
The more Grandma Chu thought about it, the more she felt that this was what happened.
It turns out that the Fang family's family scandal is not publicized, but the Crown Princess is not considered an outsider.
So, Aunt Chu respectfully replied: "Returning to the Imperial Concubine, that time I accompanied the late Princess to the Fang Mansion, so I still have the impression..." She tried hard to remember, "It seems that the late Princess returned to the Fang Mansion. The day after arriving at Fang Mansion, two maids were beaten and killed in the manor."
After a pause, Aunt Chu continued: "Actually, the servant was not present at that time. Later, I heard several women in the house talk about what happened, saying that it was Mrs. Third who brought the young woman with her that afternoon. The three-year-old Sixth Young Master came to put paper kites in the small garden. Unexpectedly, two little maids suddenly jumped out from behind the rockery laughing and making noise, and accidentally knocked the Sixth Young Master into the water... The mother-in-law serving beside the Sixth Young Master Fortunately, the wife who was still in the boudoir at that time was passing by, heard the sound, jumped into the water and rescued the sixth young master. Although the sixth young master only choked a few words of water, the third wife was so angry that she ordered The mother-in-law gave the two little maids thirty sticks with a cane. Perhaps the beating was a little too hard, and the two little maids died."
Madam?
Nangong Yue frowned.
The one who can let Aunt Chu call her like this is probably Xiao Fang.
This incident seems to be an accident at first glance, but if it is related to what Sun Xinyi said, the reason why the two maids were beaten to death that day must be related to being suspected of witnessing the conspiracy, that is, The so-called "bumping into the Sixth Young Master" is just an excuse. Since this is an excuse, so that the three families can work together to put on a show, obviously, that matter has nothing to do with them!
After that, the little Fang family became the "step princess" of Zhennan Palace, and the fourth son of the third family became the heir of the eldest family. They have every chance to inherit the Fang family's wealth in the future. There is no doubt that Sanfang is the biggest beneficiary of this incident.
Just...
How did a mere commoner get the courage and the opportunity to get involved with Baiyue? In other words, why did Baiyue fall in love with them... With Baiyue's cunning and changeable attitude, after acquiring the salt mine, what reason was there to keep this family alive?
Nangong Yue glanced at Xiao Yi, and his eyes showed the same confusion as hers.
Now Xiao Yi's words to tidy up the third bedroom are nothing more than a word, but it is very likely to interrupt all the clues. I have been waiting for nearly twenty years, and it is only a few days away.
It’s better not to alert the snake first...
Nangong Yue stroked her sleeves and asked casually: "When there was no separation back then, where did the three families live?"
Nanny Chu pointed to the southwest and said: "It's at Chu Yuyuan, southwest of Fang Mansion." As she said that, she muttered sadly, "It takes about a stick of incense to walk from here to Chu Yuyuan. Mrs. Tai seldom brings the Sixth Young Master here on weekdays, because those two girls are so reckless..."
Nangong Yue smiled faintly, didn’t she? There is nothing wrong with running so far just to release a paper kite!
"Where do the other rooms live?" Nangong Yue asked again.
"The second bedroom lives in Hengwu Courtyard in the north, the fourth bedroom lives in Qinghui Courtyard in the northeast, and the fifth bedroom is..." Aunt Chu said one by one.
As the sun set lower and lower, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi sat for a while, and Nanny Chu took the opportunity to talk about some past events, feeling that she and the prince were getting closer.
Afterwards, they left the small garden and this time came to Qiwu Garden without stopping.
Qiwu Garden has been packed up. Baihui led a group of maids and women to almost arrange the masters' luggage, leaving only a few rosewood boxes that have not been put away.
Qiwu Garden is just like its name. There are many sycamore trees in the yard. The branches and leaves of the sycamore trees are lush and green, forming patches of dense green shade. When people are in it, they can't help but feel relaxed and relaxed.
Xiao Yi looked up at the sycamore trees in the yard and said nothing for a while, until Baihui came over with a group of slaves and saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the house has been tidied up, and the hot water for bathing has been prepared. I don’t know whether the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess want to have dinner first, or..."
Nangong Yue glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "Take us into the house first."
Bai Hui led the way. Aunt Chu originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by a little maid in green. The little maid smiled and said: "Mother Chu, you must have been tired from traveling and traveling these past few days. Sister Baihui said, please go down and have a rest."
Nanny Chu's expression froze. She had stayed in Bixiaotang for two months. She knew that in the Crown Princess's room, except for An Niang and a few maids, the general servants were not allowed to act casually. Got in.
Nanny Chu glanced at Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue in the front, but she still didn't dare to say anything and quietly retreated.
Qiwu Garden is the place where Dafang lived when he was not married. Different from the house in Bixiaotang, it is elegantly and softly decorated, and it looks like a woman's residence at first glance.
At first glance, the house looks clean and tidy. In fact, from many details in the house, it can be seen that this place has been covered with dust for many years, and many of the furniture are old and dim. It is estimated that someone started to tidy up after Mr. Fang regained his consciousness. This yard...
Nangong Yue sighed slightly in her heart. In fact, she had already vaguely felt it in the small garden just now. The small garden was so abandoned, let alone the boudoir where Dafang lived.
If you look carefully, you can see that the mahogany dressers, wardrobes, etc. that were originally included in this room had been moved away long ago. Those placed here now should have been temporarily rummaged out from the warehouse by Grandma Gao. of.
Xiao Yi looked around, wondering why he couldn't tell. He frowned at first, but he had a calm temperament, and then he felt relieved.
Even if everything remains the same, so what?
It means things are different and people are different.
The most important thing is now, the people beside him at this moment.
Xiao Yi looked down at Nangong Yue, feeling a little distressed when he saw the faint tiredness between her eyebrows, and said: "Ah Yue, you go take a bath first and rest early. We will come back early after we go to the smelting workshop tomorrow. I Let me take you around." As he said that, Xiao Yi was already thinking about taking her to visit Heyucheng tomorrow, and then go to Qingai Lake the day after. He had been there once when he was a child, and the smelly girl would definitely like it... …
Thinking about it, Xiao Yi's peach blossom eyes shone brightly, and those black pupils were so soft that they almost turned into water.
That night, after dinner, both of them went to bed early.
At dawn the next day, Xiao Yi got up with the rooster crow again. After coaxing Nangong Yue to sleep, he went out to practice martial arts in the yard.
Nangong Yue fell asleep again, this time until dawn, and vaguely heard a familiar eagle cry outside...
"Xiao Hui..."
She opened her eyes, murmured, and sat up.
They clearly didn’t take Xiao Hui with them when they went out this time. Was she dreaming?
The thrush outside heard the movement in the inner room, raised the curtain and came in, saluted: "Prince Concubine, Butler Zhu sent a letter to the prince, and Xiao Hui flew here after the carrier pigeon..." Thrush said He showed a strange expression, "Prince Princess, Xiao Hui has brought Han Yu here too." Huamei said while thinking to herself: Is Xiao Hui kidnapping Han Yu from the An Yihou family and eloping?
The more Huamei thought about it, the more her head grew bigger. She was really afraid that the mistress in An Yihou's house who had a bad face every day would suddenly appear and come to beg for help.
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, her sleepiness dissipated in the laughter, and she thought to herself: This little Hui!
She stood up and put on her shoes, and noticed that it was completely bright outside. Thinking that she had to go out today, she asked, "Huamei, what time is it now?"
Huamei hurriedly replied: "Your concubine, you are just now."
Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was still plenty of time.
After Xiao Yi came back, they went to the main courtyard to have breakfast with Mr. Fang.
Subsequently, it happened to be Sishi when a lightly loaded carriage drove out of Fang Mansion.
The carriage was speeding smoothly on the wide street. Today, Xiao Yi shamelessly stayed in the carriage.
Looking at the greasy and crooked expressions of the young couple, Mr. Fang couldn’t help stroking his beard and laughing, and said: “Ayi, Ayue, today we are going to leave the city through the south gate of the city. The Yunan Street opposite the south gate is very It's lively. There are many jewelry shops, cloth shops, and snack shops, but they are no worse than Luoyue City. I'll go to the nearby Liufang Restaurant to sit for a while. You go out with Ayue and buy more things! We will leave the city later. ."
Xiao Yi originally planned to go shopping after he came back, but it would be good to go shopping first before leaving the city, so he did not refuse and spared no effort in complimenting him: "Grandpa, you are so considerate!"
Mr. Fang said boldly: "Ah Yue, don't save money for A Yi."
"Grandpa, don't worry. If A Yue wants to save money, you need my permission, right?" Xiao Yi said in a chorus, "Well, Grandpa, you might as well come with us, so that A Yue won't stop you. Follow me!" As he said this, he winked at Old Mrs. Fang, making Old Mrs. Fang laugh and respond by stroking his beard.
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were in high spirits, Nangong Yue followed the good example and tried to please the old man.
However, not long after she arrived at Yunan Street, she regretted it.
How can Xiao Yi call this buying something? This is clearly a raid.
As long as it was a piece of fabric that she took another look at, he would ask Zhuzi to buy it; as long as he thought it was suitable for her jewelry, he would ask Zhuzi to ask for money; Buy several boxes of snacks of various flavors...
Originally, she could have tried to persuade her a little, but now that Mrs. Fang is here, he still thinks that Xiao Yi has not bought enough. Nangong Yue can only remain silent, looking at the grandfather and grandson, they wish they could move their shop back. Go home!
Buy too much and can’t take it all?
That's not a problem. Bamboo just needs to say "Send it to Fangfu on Beizheng Street" and the store will understand.
That's the Fang family, the famous Fang family in southern Xinjiang, and the in-laws of Zhennan Prince's Palace.
Many people remembered with regret the scandal that broke out in the Fang family last year. The fourth master Fang, as the heir, dared to poison his father. He deserved his stroke and the whole family was expelled from the Fang Mansion...
But the old man of the Fang family has no children, so he will eventually have to adopt a step-heir... Wait!
Could it be that the old man in the wheelchair is Mrs. Fang?
Then this young and handsome young master acts so arrogantly, could he be the candidate for the new heir or heir?
The more the shopkeepers thought about it, the more they realized that this was what happened. They spread the word to ten, and it took only Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue to cover half of Yunan Street. All the restaurants and shops on the street knew about the Fang family. The God of Wealth came, and he started calling him "Mr. Fang" and "Mrs. Fang" without knowing which shop he started at.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi didn't bother to correct them, so they let them misunderstand and bought while shopping. After nearly an hour, Nangong Yue felt more tired than walking for most of the day, so she reminded in a low voice: "Grandpa, Ayi, we have to leave the city!"
Mr. Fang and Xiao Yi looked at it still unfinished, thinking that these shops would not run away anyway, so they agreed.
They got on the carriage again and continued on the road. Nangong Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, I heard Mrs. Fang and Xiao Yi chattering about how they had just bought less of this and less of that. Nangong Yue listened helplessly, but Huamei couldn't help but laugh, and thought to herself: The prince, the prince, can still cope with it. No, let alone Old Master Fang.
The carriage slowly left the city. Nangong Yue opened the curtain and looked out of the carriage window with interest. From time to time, she also chatted and laughed with Xiao Yi and Mrs. Fang.
At this moment, a fast horse galloped from behind. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Xiao Yi also leaned over to take a look, and then ordered the carriage to stop.
The person who came was Wang Chaoyuan, the accompanying captain of Bixiaotang, who was left in Fang Mansion by Xiao Yi today.
He reined in the reins, turned over and dismounted, and after saluting with clasped fists, he presented a small bamboo tube and said, "Your Majesty, this is the flying pigeon message that was just delivered from Luoyue City."
A letter from a flying pigeon had just arrived in the morning, and just a few hours later, another one came. It must be urgent.
Xiao Yi took the bamboo tube, removed the sealing paint, and took out a piece of silk paper. There was only one sentence on the silk paper:
Your Majesty, Grandma Lu has been captured.
Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat. Aunt Lu... was the murderer who poisoned his mother and concubine!
