Chapter 1333 (1/2)

”Mother Chu,” Nangong Yue said in a warm voice, ”you are an old man in Fang's house. You must have served the mother's concubine for many years, haven't you?”

Mother Chu didn't expect Nangong Yue to talk to her suddenly. She was stunned for a moment. Then she said respectfully, ”back to the imperial concubine, since the first princess moved to Qiwu garden at the age of nine, she has been serving her side.”

With that, she lifted her chest with pride and said, ”my maid is the steward of Qiwu garden, and mother Lu, the nurse of the first princess, is in charge of the yard. Later, when the first princess married at the age of 15, the maidservant and mother Lu went to the palace as a companion. The imperial concubine of Mengxian held high esteem, and the maidservant was also in charge of the trivia of the yard in Bixiao hall

Nangong Yue responded faintly. Mother Chu saw that she did not show any impatience, so she continued: ”every time the first princess returns to Ning, she always lets her maids accompany her, and let mother Lu stay at Bixiao hall.” She said, while thinking: the princess is a smart person, should understand their own hint? That's the first person in front of the first princess!

Nangong Yue smile, casually said: ”since mammy has served in the mother's concubine's side before, I think it must be very detailed about the mother's affairs?”

Seeing Nangong Yue's attitude towards himself was much better, mother Chu secretly relaxed and thought: before, she was still too anxious. It seems that we should win the trust of the imperial concubine first, and then we can remonstrate.

”That's nature.” Mother Chu quickly said, ”I still remember that when the first princess was alive, she liked to eat the milk cakes made by the maids And shiziye, ”she slowed down and looked at Xiao Yi. Her face was full of wrinkles. There was something missing on her face.” shiziye also liked it when she was a child. ”

Nangong Yue raised his eyebrows and showed a little interest. It turns out that Yi has been fond of eating milk cakes since he was a child.

Nangong Yue then said, ”I'll ask mammy for some advice on how to make milk cakes some other day.”

When mother Chu heard this, she secretly said, ”is it that shiziye still likes to eat milk cakes now? Then you should show yourself well!

Thinking about it, she immediately felt refreshed, respectfully echoed, and then said, ”son of a generation, son of a concubine, turn right in front of her, and then go on a little further, which is Qiwu garden.”

As they spoke, they turned right along a section of the hand reading corridor.

Nangong Yue, while enjoying the scenery, asked casually, ”mother Chu, where is the rockery in this mansion?”

Is it true that shizifei likes rockery? As she pondered in her heart, mother Chu said warmly, ”huishizifei, there are in the big garden, and also in the small garden beside the Qiwu garden. However, the rockery in this small garden is Taihu stone, and the rockery in the big garden is thousand layer stone, which is far from Taihu Lake stone. In the past, when the first princess was alive, she would go to the small garden to appreciate stones every time she returned to Ning Mother Chu said, there is also a bit of nostalgia on her face.

Nangong Yue's eyebrows moved and quickly exchanged a look with Xiao Yi. She was still wondering where the garden and rockery in sun Xinyi's aunt's mouth were. Now judging from mother Chu's words, nine out of ten are Taihu stones in this small garden.

Nangong Yue then ordered: ”mother Chu, you should take me and shiziye to have a look at the little garden.”

Is it true that the people who like rockery are the son of a generation? Mother Chu glanced at Xiao Yi quickly. She didn't dare to ask more questions. She answered quickly.

After crossing a small bamboo grove, they saw a small garden in front of them.

Mother Chu quickly introduced: ”the princess, is this small garden.”

In the words, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi are led into the small garden by mother Chu.

At this time, the red sun has begun to tilt to the west, sprinkling a soft red light to the flowers, plants, pavilions in the small garden Put on a thin layer of red yarn.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi walk side by side along a cobblestone path. Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi talk about the flowers and plants around him from time to time.

She didn't seem to care. In fact, she had noticed that over the years, the small garden was obviously neglected in pruning. Many plants were newly pruned, and some potted plants should be temporarily placed in flower beds.

People walk tea cool A trace of emotion flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes. After walking around the small garden for half a circle, mother Chu said again: ”the son of the world, the son of a concubine, is in front of you.” She pointed to a rugged, exquisite rockery by the pond in front of her.

Nangong Yue said to Xiao Yi with a smile: ”a Yi, this Taihu stone fruit really deserves the reputation!”

Xiao Yi gazed at the rockery a few feet away. The peach blossom's eyes were dark. After a long time, he said casually, ”Pangu is vigorous and elegant. This is the Taihu stone of Jingshan mountain?”

”You have a good taste.” Mother Chu couldn't help but praise, and her eyes narrowed with laughter. ”This Taihu stone is still because of the year when the first princess moved to Qiwu garden. The old master paid thousands of gold to transport it from Jingshan mountain and ordered people to make a pond here. The first princess liked it very much. When she was in the mansion, she often sat down in the octagonal pavilion beside the rockery, enjoying the flowers and playing the piano... ”

”This is a good place.” Nangong Yue said with a smile, ”Yi, let's go to the pavilion and sit for a while.”

Xiao Yi answered, and they went to the octagonal pavilion.

After they sat down on the balustrade bench in the pavilion, they looked in the direction of the rockery. Half of the head was exposed at the top of the rockery, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the pond beside, forming a wave.This octagonal pavilion is probably the most suitable place to enjoy the scenery in this small garden. It contains the kindness of old master Fang to his daughter Nangong Yue felt that his eyes were a little sour, but he tried to calm down and say: ”mother Chu, I heard that one year, when the mother's concubine came back to the fangfu with pregnancy, it seemed that Fang Fu had seen blood light...”

So many years ago, most of the empress Chu can't remember clearly, but that time was an exception. It was the last time that Dafang returned to Ning before she passed away, let alone that there was something like that in the mansion that day. Although they are only two rude maids, the Fang family is a good family and is always kind to the servants. Even if the maidservant has committed a crime, it is at most necessary to play a few boards and sell them out Also blame those two small servant girls to act frivolously and rashly, but only to run into the master son!

But why did the princess even hear about things more than ten years ago, and asked them specially Does she want to test herself?

The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was.

Originally, the Fang family's domestic ugliness was not publicized, but the imperial concubine was not an outsider.

Then, mother Chu respectfully replied, ”when I went back to my son's concubine, I was also accompanied by the maidservant to the Fang's house where the first princess came back, so I still have an impression...” She tried to think back, ”it seems that the next day after the princess returned to fangfu, on that day, two servant girls were killed in the mansion.”

After a pause, mother Chu continued: ”in fact, the maid was not present at that time, and it was also after listening to several women in the mansion talking about the process of the matter. That afternoon, Madame Santai brought the sixth young master, who was only three years old, to set off the kite in the small garden. Unexpectedly, two little maids jumped out of the rockery with laughter, and accidentally knocked the sixth young master into the water ... The woman and servant girls who served beside the sixth young master did not know how to water. Fortunately, the lady who was still waiting for the word passed by when she heard the sound and jumped into the water to save the sixth young master. Although the sixth young master only choked a few saliva, but the third eldest brother was so angry that he made his mother-in-law to blame the two little maids with thirty sticks on the spot. Maybe it was a bit heavy, and the two little maids swallowed up when they were born. ”

Ma'am?

Nangong Yue eyebrows move.

What can be called by mother Chu like this should be Xiao Fang's.

At first glance, this incident seemed to be an accident. But if sun Xinyi was contacted to say that, the reason why the two maids were killed on that day must have something to do with being suspected of seeing the plot. That is to say, the so-called ”bumping into the sixth young master” is just an excuse. Since this is an excuse, it is obvious that the matter has something to do with them!

After that, Xiao Fang became the ”successor Princess” of Zhennan palace, and the four sons of Sanfang became the heirs of Changfang, who had the chance to inherit the wealth of Fang family in the future. There is no doubt that the third room is the biggest beneficiary of this incident.

It's just

Just a commoner's house, what courage and opportunity are related to Baiyue? In other words, how did Baiyue fall in love with them With Baiyue's cunning and changeable, after getting the salt mine, what's the reason to let the family live again?

Nangong Yue took a look at Xiao Yi, and his eyes showed the same doubts as her.

Now want to clean up the third room is just a word of Xiao Yi, but, it is very likely that all the clues will be interrupted. It has been waiting for nearly 20 years, and it is just a few days.

It's better not to frighten the snake first

Nangong Yue stroked his sleeves and asked casually, ”where did the three rooms live when there was no separation?”

Mother Chu pointed to the southwest and said, ”it's Chu Yu Yuan in the southwest of fangfu.” With that, she murmured with a sigh, ”it's said that Chu Yu yard is close to here with a stick of incense. Madame Santai seldom brings the sixth young master here on weekdays. It's also the two girls who are reckless...”

Nangong Yue faintly smiles, isn't it? Nothing to run so far to put a kite!

”Where do the other rooms live?” Nangong Yue asked again.

”The second room lives in Fuwu courtyard in the north, the fourth room lives in Qinghui courtyard in the northeast, and the fifth room is...” Mother Chu said it one by one.

As the sun set, nangongyue and Xiao Yi sat down for a while, while mother Chu took the opportunity to say something about the past, and consciously became close to shiziye.

After that, they left the small garden, this time, they came to Qiwu garden without stopping.

Qiwu garden has been tidied up, Baihui leads a group of servant girls to almost settle the luggage of the masters, and only a few rosewood boxes have not been collected. A wild profusion of vegetation,

, like its name, has many trees in the yard. The branches and leaves of the parasol tree are luxuriantly green, forming a thick shade of green leaves, which makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Xiao Yi looked up at the Indus tree in the yard, and did not speak for a while. Until Bai Hui came to the salute with a servant Slave: ”the son of heaven, the princess of heaven, the room was ready, and the hot water in the bath was ready.”

Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi and said, ”take us into the house first.”
