"What kind of strict law?" Haitang beside Que'er asked curiously.
Que'er was just sighing at first, but when Haitang asked, Que'er became more energetic. His flexible eyes shone brightly and he said crisply: "Haitang, you don't know this, right? My aunt in Beppu." They are all half masters, with rich clothes and fine food, but this Yan Mansion is different."
Hearing this, Huamei and the others looked at Magpie expectantly, and the little maids were all eager to grab a handful of melon seeds and gnaw them while listening.
Nangong Yue looked at the few little girls and couldn't help laughing. She just listened to them as gossip. Even Xiao Yu, who was in Silk Mother's arms, followed everyone's gazes and looked at Que'er curiously, blinking with her big beautiful eyes. Blinking.
Quie'er paused deliberately for a moment, and then continued: "It is said that Mrs. Yan comes from a famous family, is virtuous, and respects rules. After Mrs. Yan passed the door, she gave many concubines to General Yan to live with. It is said that they want to spread the branches and leaves of the Yan family. However, the concubines and aunts of the Yan family have to set rules, pick curtains, serve meals, and watch nights at Madam Yan every day. They are no different from maids and mothers-in-law. .I heard that a few years ago, an aunt of the Yan family stayed up for several days and nights because she was attending to Mrs. Yan's illness. Later, she was infected with wind and cold, and became more and more sick, so she was sent to Zhuangzi. Not long after, she went there. Already..."
In ordinary mansions, restless maids compete to be concubines, mostly to live a good life. The aunts in this mansion are not as decent as the respectable housemaids, so they naturally let them Many people have given up on such thoughts, but every once in a while, Mrs. Yan either picks up the maids from the mansion, or buys a good family son from outside, and will definitely provide General Yan with one or two bedrooms and concubines.
Quie'er continued: "... In recent years, Mrs. Yan has been regarded as a "virtuous person". Many mansions have praised General Yan for marrying a good wife. No wonder the family is prosperous."
Nangong Yue thought of something and casually added: "It seems that Mrs. Yan's maiden name is Cao, right?"
"Prince Princess, you really have a good memory." Que'er agreed with a smile.
The Cao family has been a major family in southern Xinjiang a hundred years ago, but it fell into decline at the end of the previous dynasty. Today's Cao family is far inferior to those in southern Xinjiang, but Mrs. Yan may not take it seriously.
Que'er talked endlessly about two or three things about the inner courtyard of the Yan family, starting from the concubine and aunt to Mrs. Yan's natal family and then to the concubines and concubines of the Yan family: "These concubines and concubines of the Yan family There are not many who died in infancy, but most of the concubines were useless. Only one, Mr. Yan, is still promising..."
Now that Young Master Yan is following the Crown Prince, his future prospects may be greater than those of the legitimate son of Yan Mansion...
Thinking about it, Que'er's expression was a little subtle. Mrs. Yan's journey from her parents' home to her husband's home has been smooth for most of her life. She hopes to be more open-minded in the future, otherwise, her eldest son will be very protective of his shortcomings...
Haitang listened with great interest, and she really admired Que'er in her heart. It turned out that it was not just the trivial matters of the palace, but Que'er also knew about the things in other mansions!
"What about the concubine girl of the Yan family?" Suddenly, a cold female voice asked.
The surroundings were silent for a moment, and several maids were a little stunned, and intuitively followed the sound.
Facing Xiao Fei's serious face, Que'er couldn't hide his surprise. He didn't expect the eldest girl to ask questions.
After Que'er thought for a while, he replied thoughtfully: "Back to the eldest daughter, the girls of the Yan family usually stay at the front door of the house and never leave the house. When they have hair extensions, they will make a marriage arrangement. I remember Yan. The eldest daughter of the family filled a house for Hong Tongpan, and the third daughter of the Yan family married the eldest son of Prince He Yucheng, but I heard that the eldest son Wang had some bad legs and feet..."
The implication of Que'er's words is already obvious. If Hong Tongban hadn't renewed his relationship, and if Prince Wang hadn't been in a bad situation, how could he have married a mere concubine of the Yan Mansion?
However, these families are considered to be well-matched, and no one can say that Mrs. Yan treats the concubine badly, and even openly praises Mrs. Yan for her kindness and finding a good husband for the concubine.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows in their heart that Mrs. Yan, no, or the Yan family is using the concubine as a bargaining chip to make money!
Now Xiao Fei can naturally understand this. She shook her head and said in disapproval: "This is not good."
After a pause, Xiao Fei continued seriously: "The "Book of Rites" says: Those who are not polite will combine the best of the two surnames, and the upper ones will serve the ancestral temple, and the lower ones will inherit the descendants. Therefore, gentlemen value them. ."
The best way to combine two surnames is to combine two families. From then on, the two families help and rely on each other, rather than one party coveting the other with the intention of benefiting from it.
Hearing this, Nangong Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, her dark eyes filled with smiles.
Their sister Fei is really a little scholar!
While speaking, the gate of the Great Buddha Temple appeared more than ten feet away, and a lively noise came one after another. The outside of the temple was even more lively than when Nangong Yue and the others arrived just now, and the crowd was bustling.
At this moment, under the control of Baihui and several stewards, the servants of the palace had already set up a simple tent with oilcloth, set up a charity stall, and were giving out clothes and porridge.
In front of the stall, the common people lined up in two long queues, like two long dragons winding through, with no end in sight. There were also some people watching the excitement surrounding them, chattering all over the place. It is simply more lively and noisy than the Chinese New Year.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei also went to the stall to help, ladling porridge, applying clothes, and even gave them a piece of sandalwood to burn incense in the temple to pray for the soldiers...
In this way, even those people who had no intention of coming to receive the porridge were also interested. One after another, some people came to ask for incense and then entered the temple.
The soldiers of Southern Xinjiang are the foundation of Southern Xinjiang. Without these soldiers throwing their heads and blood on the battlefield, there would be no peace and happiness for the people of Southern Xinjiang.
Unconsciously, the lively atmosphere outside the temple was also faintly tinged with a little solemnity.
The sun rose higher and higher, and soon it was almost noon.
Only the last bucket of the dozen or so buckets of porridge brought today was left. Nangong Yue saw that a thin layer of sweat had formed on Xiao Fei's forehead and said, "Sister Fei, you are almost busy. You go and rest for a while first. We will return home in half an hour."
Xiao Fei wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and responded with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I want to go to the Forest of Steles and come back soon." To the west of the Great Buddha Temple is a Forest of Steles, which is also rare in Luoyue City. It is so famous that people often come here to observe and imitate rubbings. It is also a place that Xiao Fei must visit every time she comes here.
Nangong Yue naturally agreed.
Xiao Fei walked out with Tao Yao and Ling Xiao, but before she had walked a few steps, she heard a milky voice coming from behind: "Yeah!"
Xiao Fei stopped intuitively and turned around to see what was wrong with her little nephew. She saw the little guy in the wet nurse's arms looking at her with burning eyes, and stretched out his hand to her with such eagerness. Even without asking, I knew he wanted to play with her...
"Yeah, yeah!" the little guy urged impatiently.
Looking at his restless look, Nangong Yue felt a little helpless and a little funny: Brother Yu has always been very active, so after letting him stay here with them for an hour, I am afraid he has already become impatient. , it’s not easy for him to endure it until now.
Nangong Yue helped the little guy straighten his clothes and warned with a smile: "Brother Yu, you must be obedient when you go to play with your aunt."
The little guy smiled stupidly, as if to say, I have always been obedient.
Xiao Fei immediately nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I will take good care of Brother Yu." She looked at Nangong Yue solemnly, as if she had a huge mission on her shoulders, and saw the smile on Nangong Yue's lips. The meaning is deeper.
Their sister Fei is still so cute.
So, Xiao Yu, accompanied by Silu Niang and Haitang, followed Xiao Fei away. The little guy was probably the most excited one in the group. After walking a long way, you could still hear his "beep" He kept shouting, pointing to the sky and the ground...
Nangong Yue watched them enter the Great Buddha Temple with a smile.
The Forest of Steles is on the west side of the Great Buddha Temple. Just follow a cobblestone path through a bamboo forest and then go around a small pond to reach the Forest of Steles.
At this time, it was almost noon, and most of the pilgrims had gone to the wing of the side hall to eat vegetarian food. The area near the Forest of Steles was very deserted.
For Xiao Fei, this is very good.
Xiao Fei didn’t originally plan to come to the Forest of Steles, so she didn’t bring any rubbing tools with her today, so she just took a look around.
For Xiao Yu, this strange place is very interesting. Just being carried by the nanny and walking through these stone monuments is so fresh and fun, just like he usually does with cats Xiaobai and Xiaoju. It was like playing hide and seek, which made him smile from ear to ear.
Xiao Fei introduced these stone tablets to Xiao Yu in a serious manner, telling him in detail what genre they were, which dynasties and generations they were written by, and commented on them one by one.
Of course Xiao Yu couldn’t understand it, but that didn’t stop him from applauding his aunt from time to time...
Both master and apprentice enjoyed it.
After a cup of tea, they came to a huge stone tablet in the center of the Forest of Steles. Xiao Fei pointed at the stone tablet and said: "Brother Yu, look, this is regular script. Later, when aunt gives you enlightenment, we will How about learning this first?"
"Yeah!"
Little Xiao Yu responded with a smile and waved his fist, as if agreeing with Xiao Fei's words. The maids on the side exchanged funny looks. This little grandson looks like a royal concubine, and he seems to get along well with the eldest girl.
Following that, Xiao Fei pinched one of Xiao Yu’s little fleshy fingers with great interest and traced along the inscriptions on the stone tablet, one stroke, one stroke, one stroke, one point...
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of the autumn wind blowing the bamboo forest from time to time from the other side of the pond, vaguely mixed with a soft and sad female voice, seemingly at a loss and sobbing.
"Auntie, what should I do? My life is ruined..."
"Fourth girl, don't be sad. Everything will be fine..." Another female voice comforted her awkwardly, which should be the "aunt" mentioned by the first female voice.
"Auntie, I finally managed to please my mother and get a good marriage... but now my third brother has ruined it all. Now, my fifth and sixth sisters are all watching my jokes..." The girl sobbed and said, "How can I find a good family like the Wu family in the future..."
"Fourth girl, you can't. Madam knows that you have been filial and obedient since you were a child, so she will definitely arrange a good marriage for you." The aunt comforted her again, but her tone seemed lacking in confidence.
"It's all because of Third Brother's overestimation of his abilities!" The more the girl spoke, the angrier she became. "Third Brother is just a concubine. He relies on the Crown Prince's favor and trust in him and doesn't care about the life or death of my aunt and I. If Third Brother If you be obedient and give up the opportunity to enter the rookie camp to your eldest brother and fourth brother, you will definitely please your mother, and our life will be easier. Third brother, why is he so ignorant, so unfilial!"
"..."
"Auntie, you don't know how to persuade the third brother!" The girl sobbed twice more and couldn't help but complain about her auntie.
"Fourth girl is right." My aunt responded submissively, "It's all my fault that I didn't go to persuade your third brother earlier... Hey, your third brother doesn't know what he thinks. A **** can peacefully become a rich man. It’s true that Mr. Weng is kind-hearted and won’t miss a bite of food for him..."
"Even so, the third brother is too ambitious. Everything is going well with the family. The third brother is determined to make our Yan family uneasy!"
"..."
The aunt and the girl were talking and walking in the direction of Xiao Fei and the others, and their voices were getting closer and closer.
Xiao Fei, who was behind the stone tablet, frowned slightly and said, "Don't listen to what is inappropriate. But once the words reach your ears, it's hard not to listen."
From what they said, they were most likely the aunt and sister of Young Master Yan.
Master Yan...
By the way, he is the master of the falcon.
Thinking of the silly dog that was holding on to her own clothes and refusing to release its paws, wagging its tail crazily, a smile flashed in Xiao Fei's eyes.
Then she remembered what Que'er had just mentioned about the Yan family. As a concubine, the Third Young Master Yan was able to impress others and be used by his eldest brother. He had put in a lot of efforts...
It is easy to go down the current, but it is difficult to sail against the current.
This Young Master Yan must be much more determined than ordinary people. He is respectable and admirable!
Thinking about it, Xiao Fei's eyes flashed, and she suddenly bowed her head and said to the little guy in Silk Mother's arms: "Brother Yu, my aunt remembers that there is a good stone tablet in front of us. How about we go over and take a look?"
"Hey!" Xiao Yu responded without objection, waving his fist.
The group of people walked out from behind the stone monument and saw a woman wearing a rust-colored jacket and a girl in green clothes standing outside the forest of monuments. They were the Yan family members who had been following Mrs. Yan before.
Aunt Sun and Miss Yan also saw Xiao Fei, their expressions stiffened, and they looked at each other quickly, seeming a little worried.
The two of them had met Xiao Fei outside the Heavenly King's Palace before. Knowing that she was the eldest daughter of the palace, they did not dare to avoid her. After looking at each other again, they stiffly stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen Miss Xiao. ”
"No need to be polite." Xiao Fei said lightly.
They only met each other on a casual basis and had never introduced each other. They could even be regarded as strangers. Xiao Fei had planned to leave directly, but the conversation she just heard still lingered in her ears.
Xiao Fei stopped and said slowly: "Miss Yan, what is wrong with a man serving his country?"
Aunt Sun and Miss Yan couldn't help but change slightly, convinced that Xiao Fei must have heard the conversation between them just now.
Miss Yan swallowed her saliva and her delicate body trembled slightly.
Xiao Fei is the eldest daughter and was born in Zhennan Palace. How can she understand the difficulties of a concubine to make a living under the hands of her aunt, who only made sarcastic remarks...
The other party is born noble, can I compete with her?
Miss Yan Si moved her mouth, lowered her head, and could only admit her mistake: "I made a mistake."
Xiao Fei glanced at Miss Yan again and said one more thing: "Miss Yan, there are three types of unfilial piety. One is unfilial piety, and the other is unfilial piety. Miss Yan, please take care of yourself."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Fei left calmly.
"Yeah... Yeah!" Only Xiao Yu seemed to be unfinished, speaking intermittently in a language that no one could understand except himself, while Aunt Sun and Miss Yan stood frozen in place like two stone pillars. On the ground, his face turned pale and his mind went blank.
Xiao Fei had long forgotten these two people, leaving no ripples in her heart. She took Xiao Yu back the same way and headed towards the gate.
When Xiao Fei and the others left the Great Buddha Temple, they saw that the alms stalls outside had been packed away. Compared with the bustle before, the entrance of the temple was much deserted at this moment.
Xiao Fei hugged little Xiao Yu and got directly into a black flat-top carriage to meet Nangong Yue. Not long after, the carriage left first, and the remaining servants only waited to pack their things before following. Return to Luoyue City.
The carriage roared away and drove non-stop back to Luoyue City. The journey was smooth, but it encountered some waves when it was about to reach the door of the house.
A red wheeled cart suddenly stopped at the gate of the palace and was blocked by the concierge.
There are only two people in southern Xinjiang who are qualified to ride the Zhu Lun Chariot. The driver immediately guessed who was coming and called inside: "Miss Baihui, the third princess is here."
As their carriage approached the palace, they heard a woman's fierce questioning voice: "This is Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, why can't you go in?"
The concierge was not surprised by this, and just said as usual: "As I said, the masters are not here today..."
At the same time as the porter replied, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei's carriage also drove outside the door. Immediately, several gatekeepers came to greet the carriage, saying that the imperial concubine and the eldest daughter were back.
The third princess's maid naturally saw and heard it, and whispered to the third princess in the Zhu Lun car. The third princess's anger that was about to explode was extinguished at this moment.
Having an idea, she quickly opened the curtain on one side of the Zhu Lun Car and said condescendingly: "I am here at the invitation of Miss Xiao!" She deliberately raised her voice in order to attract Xiao Fei in the carriage. Hearing this, his tone was slightly threatening, "If you don't believe me, just ask Miss Xiao!"
Since meeting Xiao Fei at the Cloud Restaurant that day, the third princess has been waiting for news from Xiao Fei, and later sent another letter to urge her, but there has been no movement from Xiao Fei. The third princess I really couldn't wait any longer, so I had to go to Zhennan Palace in person.
She stared intently at the black, flat-top carriage, and was about to open her lips again when she heard Xiao Fei's cold voice: "It's me who invites Her Highness the Third Princess to come over..."
While she was speaking, a fleshy little hand opened the curtain from inside, and the third princess happened to look directly into Xiao Fei's eyes.
"Kekeke..."
A round head wearing a tiger head hat poked its head out from Xiao Fei's arms with a smile. Xiao Fei pressed the little fleshy hand, and the curtains fell again, blocking Xiao Fei's face. Cut off the sight of the third princess.
The third princess sneered in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curved in a complacent arc. She knew that Xiao Fei would never dare to disobey her, and she held her fate in her hands!
The corner door of the palace opened, and both carriages were welcomed into the palace. After that, the third princess followed Xiao Fei to Yuebiju.
The third princess sat down unceremoniously on the armchair at the top of the main room. After the maids served tea, they were sent to guard under the eaves.
The third princess was not in the mood to drink tea. She looked up at Xiao Fei and asked straight to the point: "Have you heard about it?"
Xiao Fei also looked at the third princess, her eyes and expressions were as calm as usual and she said nothing.
Just by being looked at by her like this, the third princess felt a sudden fire in her heart, rushing straight to her forehead. The third princess couldn't help clenching her fists in her sleeves, but her waist was still straight. She called her name coldly and threatened: "Xiao Fei, do you want your mother's 'scandal' to be known to others, and let the whole southern Xinjiang know about you?" What kind of virtue is the mother-in-law of a majestic eldest daughter from a royal palace?! Do you think there will still be room for you in this royal palace, or even in this southern Xinjiang?!"
Xiao Fei picked up the tea cup unhurriedly, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and took another sip of tea.
That leisurely and contented look was like adding fuel to the fire. The third princess was so angry that the veins on her forehead popped out. She suddenly stood up and said: "Xiao Fei, do you think I dare not say..."
"If Your Highness the Third Princess wants to say something, just go ahead and say it." Xiao Fei put down the tea cup and interrupted the Third Princess with a calm voice. Her voice was neither urgent nor serious, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
The third princess felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head, and she was dumbfounded. Xiao Fei, what did she just say? ! Is she... is she crazy?

On Christmas Eve, I wish the girls joy and peace.
