Chapter 979 (1/2)
After the carriage left the city, Xiao Yi brazenly hid in the carriage on the pretext that he did not want to socialize with some strangers.
The poor Baihui and Baihe sisters were naturally kicked out. Baihe went to ride Xiao Yi's horse, while Baihui sat shoulder to shoulder with the coachman Zhou Dacheng in the front of the carriage.
In the carriage, nangongyue and Xiao Yi sit by the window, talking and looking at the scenery in the countryside.
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed with a smile, and the corners of his mouth were raised high. Of course, Xiao Yi also found that she was in a good mood. When Nangong Yue was really happy, his eyes would be as bright as now.
Xiao Yi thought with pride in his heart that no one would know his stinky girl like himself? Even if there is a slight change in the face of the smelly girl, he can also be sensitive to the subtle changes in her mood!
Xiao Yi held Nangong Yue's hand and said with a smile, ”smelly girl, if you like to go out, now that I'm back, we can often come out to play. Is there anything you want to go to? ” He had already begun to think that since he came back, he had not been together with Yuan Lingbo and his sister. Maybe in a few days, he could ask Fu Yunhe and Yuan lingbai to go out for a walk in the youth and have a good time.
Nangong Yue said with a smile, ”if I want to go to Xijiang? I have seen it in the records of Kyushu in Dayu before. I heard that the Xihe plateau in western Xinjiang has a unique scenery. The people there live in groups in caves, which is very spectacular. Would you like to accompany me? ”
”You want to go, of course.” Xiao Yi quickly responded, ”I'll take you wherever you want to go. We can go all over the mountains and rivers of Dayu. Whether it is in the West or in the north, we can go to foreign countries, to Nanyang, to many places! ” Xiao Yi never thought that women could only stay in the small four corners of the inner house. He would take her away from the narrow place of Wangdu and gallop at will.
The smile on Nangong Yue's face is full of a point, can't help but show a trace of yearning.
Xiao Yi took Nangong Yue's hand and said solemnly, ”so, stinky girl, you must keep your body well! Let's live to be 100 years old together At the same time, there was a deep fear in his eyes. His mother, his grandfather and the people who loved him all left him early. What about the smelly girl? Do you think you're a girl
Nangong Yue also felt the change of his expression and tone, and said with a smile, ”I don't want to be an old monster when I'm 100 years old!” She raised her chin and pretended to think, ”80 years old, Yi, let's live to be 80 years old together.”
Some of her words are better than those of Xiao Yi
”Good.”
There was silence in the carriage, and the two were so close to each other.
I don't know how long after that, the voice of Lily's Joy came from outside: ”the son of a generation, the son of a concubine, Liu Hezhuang has arrived.”
With the speed gradually slowed down, Nangong Yue lifted the curtain and looked out.
The first two times she came to liuhezhuang was autumn and winter, or the first time she came here in spring when everything was reviving. Outside, it was full of green, birds and flowers. The clear river water was sparkling in the warm sunshine It seems like a very different place.
After the carriage stopped, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue got underground one after another. Zhu Xing, Ren Zinan, Chu Davidson and others also dismounted one after another.
Feng Guanshi has taken many of Chuang Tzu's servants and dozens of disabled veterans there. The team seems to be very large. All eyes are focused on Xiao Yi and nangongyue. Of course, Xiao Yi is still more. The dozens of veterans saw Xiao Yi for the first time, so they couldn't help but examine him He even wanted to find the shadow of the Old Town South King from him.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yi's appearance is very different from that rough, dark old town South King, even a trace of shadow can not be found.
Feng Guanshi was about to salute, but a child's shrill cry came from behind: ”coming! The prince and his concubine are here
Following the sound of the village, a boy of six or seven years old ran away to the village. As he ran, he yelled loudly. In a blink of an eye, many farmers and villagers in the village looked at him. Some of them couldn't wait to see how Xiao Yi, the son of the world, looked like.
This uproar broke the originally rigid atmosphere.
Feng Guanshi's face suddenly showed embarrassment, bowing and saying, ”let the son of the world and his concubine laugh.”
The veterans behind him knelt down on one knee and saluted Xiao Yi: ”I've seen the prince, the princess.”
Although they are old and their voices can't hide their hoarseness, at the moment, when their voices are so neatly overlapped, they seem so bright. The rigorous and murderous spirit of being a soldier is released in an instant, which makes the viewers feel awe stricken and solemn.
Because of the business of Niu, the old soldiers still have some complicated feelings about this son of God. However, no matter what kind of person he is, at least this time, he led his army to drive the hateful nanmanzi out of the territory of Dayu and recaptured the lost city before. Even more, the common people who died under nanmanzi took revenge. From these points of view, shiziye is anyway I can live up to them.”No gift.” Xiao Yi took a few steps forward and lifted one of them. The other veterans got up one after another. Ren Zinan also helped up an old soldier with inconvenient legs.
”Lao Chu! Ah LAN
The veterans saw that David Chu, Ren Zinan and his son, who had been reunited for a long time, were very friendly. They gathered around and talked.
Even if David Chu and Ren Zinan didn't say anything, they could see that the father and the son should have had a good life in the palace, not to mention their clothes and clothes. Just looking at their energetic appearance, especially Ren Zinan, when he was in liuhezhuang, he always felt that he was a little less angry, as if he had followed them into old age …… Now the young people are smart.
This young man, as expected, still can't be with them all day long.
Looking at Ren Zinan now, even the corners of the mouth of the old min, who has always been serious, faintly evokes a smile.
”Go in and talk.” Xiao Yi's words, people all around him and Nangong Yue into Zhuangzi.
After they entered the main hall under the guidance of Feng Guanshi, the originally small main hall looked crowded. The original round chairs in the main hall were not enough for them to sit in. Feng Guanshi urgently ordered people to move a lot of stools.
After they took their seats one by one in the main hall, the atmosphere became awkward and calm. Finally, Nangong Yue said with a smile: ”I'm busy this time. I haven't had time to come back and have a look. Are you still used to living here?”
”Habit! Very used to it A tall veteran said coarsely, looking at his appearance in his early fifties, his face was full of red light. If it was not for his left hand, he looked like an ordinary farmer.
”Of course he is used to it.” Another old soldier nearby couldn't help laughing, ”he just married his daughter-in-law after the new year, and now he's happy to miss Shu. Even if he's sent back to southern Xinjiang, he won't go back.”
All the veterans in the room burst into laughter, but everyone was jubilant. Obviously, they were really happy for their classmates.
Feng explained it in a low voice. Nangong Yue knew that the old soldier was Yeshi. Last year, widow Liu's family in the village next to him hired him to help build the house. However, once he came and went, he looked at the widow Liu. The widow Liu's son had already married, and did not object to it, so they married after the new year.
”This is a happy event.” Nangong Yue laughed and narrowed his eyes. ”Steward Feng, you should have told me earlier. I can also send a gift to you.” I'm also happy for this veteran named Ye Shi. He really settled down in liuhezhuang. For these disabled veterans like duckweed, this is probably the greatest happiness of life.
”No, it's not necessary...” ”The second princess is too busy to do anything for you They are not greedy people. They just hope to spend the rest of their lives safely. It is also an unexpected surprise that they can settle down in liuhezhuang.
Xiao Yi suddenly interrupted with a smile: ”so I am a matchmaker! I should have asked you for a matchmaker
All the people in the hall didn't expect Xiao Yi to say such a sentence. After a moment of silence in the hall, Ye Shi was the first one to laugh out: ”the son-in-law said that my mother-in-law has a good way of making wine. I'll fetch some jars later and give it to him.”
Another veteran bravely echoed: ”this sentence is not bad. The wine made by my sister-in-law is really wonderful! ”
When it comes to wine, these people talk at the top of their voices. Later, everyone talks about their own situation From these people's words, Nangong Yue learned that these veterans were living a very fulfilling life. They helped the villagers build houses, helped Zhuangzi build canals, helped villagers plow in spring, and led rivers to irrigate the brine fields in the back mountains
Bittern! Nangong Yue thought of the saline alkali land in the back mountain of the village and asked, ”has the brine been irrigated?”
Feng Guanshi quickly reported: ”yes, the imperial concubine. The canal was repaired last month. A few days ago, the river in front of us was brought to irrigate the brine field. It's a pity that we plough every year in the north, but we can't catch up with the spring ploughing this year. ”
Ye Shi interjected: ”although spring ploughing can't catch up with it, you can still plant some vegetables or something.”
Xiao Yi naturally had heard Nangong Yue mention the bittern. At this time, he was interested and said, ”let's go to the back mountain and have a look.”
As soon as this was said, everyone responded in succession, and they all went back to the mountain together.
With so many people passing through the village, they naturally attracted many people from the village to join the team. However, these people did not want to see the back mountain, but to watch Xiao Yi and nangongyue.
Xiao Yi and nangongyue didn't care about other people's eyes at all. They were calm. Xiao Yi even took nangongyue's hand in front of the crowd and went back to the mountain together, biting their ears and laughing at each other from time to time.
For a while, the village women and the little girls were whispering with envy in their eyes. The prince and his concubine were not only good-looking, but also had such good feelings. They were just like a couple of gods and fairies.Through the village, it was suddenly clear, a large area of cultivated land into their eyes.
This piece of land, once called the ”back mountain wasteland”, is now quite different. Last year, when nangongyue came here for the last time, it was only half reclaimed. It was covered with a crystal of white flowers. Now, after irrigation by the river in spring, the soil has shown its original color.
Nangongyue can almost imagine that the land will be full of seedlings in the spring of next year, with a strong green color In autumn harvest, it turns into a golden ocean.
Since Houshan came back, Xiao Yi called Lao min alone and asked him about the letter.
”It was handed over to me three years before the old prince passed away. Let me take good care of it.” ”Since then, this letter has never left me,” he recalled He stopped for a moment and said in some embarrassment, ”son of a generation, I heard that your dandy was useless and reckless a few years ago. I once thought that this letter from the old prince would never be seen again. But I didn't expect that you should have suffered so much. If the old prince was still alive, he would be extremely distressed. ”
Xiao Yi's eyes were dim, but then he laughed freely and freely, ”if my grandfather was alive, I'm afraid I would be angry. I'm so useless that I was coaxed casually by others, leaving behind countless names I have overlooked your business
”Prince.” Lao Min said sincerely, ”you have a good daughter-in-law.”
If it wasn't for the princess, I'm afraid they would hate him until they died, mistaking the stepprincess as a good man.
If it wasn't for the princess, I'm afraid the bad name of the son of heaven could not be washed clean.
If it was not for the princess, they would not have a good day now.
Xiao Yi was proud and said naturally, ”of course! She is better than anyone else There was no hesitation in the tone.
Old min can't help but sigh: ”the old prince will be very happy.”
Xiao Yi showed a trace of nostalgia.
Until he was six years old, Xiao Yi lived with his grandfather, learning to write, to learn martial arts, to learn the art of war According to Lao min, when he was three years old, his grandfather gave the letter to him for safekeeping, and it is said that the property also passed to him one after another.
Xiao Yi has some doubts secretly. When he was three years old, what happened actually made his grandfather so determined
On the way back to Wangdu, Xiao Yi told Nangong Yue the content of the conversation with Lao min, and finally showed his meritorious way: ”Stinky girl, even if Lao min doesn't say it, I know you are the best! I like you best
Nangong Yue didn't have his thick skin at the end. He was flushed by the sentence ”favorite”. The shame on his face provoked Xiao Yi's heart. He couldn't help but steal a kiss.
At the same time, the news that the Nanman envoys had been sent to the Wangdu had spread, and the whole Wangdu was discussing this topic.
The story telling booth was the most sensitive one. The storyteller talked about the matter that the envoys of the Nanman Wang sect were seeking peace.
It is clear that the storyteller has never been to Nanman and has never met the king of Nanman. However, he vividly describes the scenes in which the king of Nanman came to the capital to discuss with his ministers and select envoys with a number of gorgeous beauties as if he had seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.
As soon as the envoys entered the capital, the storyteller stopped abruptly and knocked on a startling tree to make people wait for the next time to decompose.
”That's it?” A middle-aged woman, who was eating melon seeds, exclaimed, ”this is the key point. How can it be over? Liu sanzui, you don't want to fool people like this! I paid for it. ”
