Chapter Eighty-Six: What Is a Good Wife?

"What do you mean you can't take any of them away? Aren't they all your people? Nangong Yufeng has always thought so, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Xi Cui to take them to live in the twilight moon without asking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But listening to Xi Cui's tone, it was clear that it was not what he thought!

Xi Cui didn't answer him directly, but looked at him with an inquiring expression, "You are a great general, is it appropriate to focus on these small things in the inner house?" What's more, the most worrying thing now is not the question of who will follow me in the future, but the engagement of Princess Chaoyang on the third day of next month! She gave me a post...... "Xi Cui took out a gilded post from his arms and handed it to Nangong Yufeng, "It was sent on the day you were drunk, and I have been worrying about it for the past two days." This Chaoyang princess only wrote the word Xi Cui on the post, and did not add any title to the title, it seems that she is exalting me as a person, but who in the noble circle in the capital does not know my relationship with you? How should I deal with myself then? What's more, the relationship between you and the Lao family and the Wang family is very awkward now, if I leave aside the relationship with you to attend, it will inevitably be said that I am not self-sufficient, ignorant and high-minded, and I am afraid that it will become you and I are not willing to accept the emperor's arrangement at all, although there is no disrespect for the emperor, it is not good for the emperor to be yang and yin against you. If I appear directly in the name of your fiancée, I will be said to be a villain and greedy for vanity, but I am most afraid that they will say that I am swaggering in the princess's mansion by relying on the power of the Liwang Mansion, and I do not put the princess and the Lao family in my eyes, but give people a handle, so that the Liwang Mansion will be implicated. The most troublesome thing is that I can't go yet, because Yun Ting will also go, and I can't leave Yun Ting alone......"

Her words sounded very ironing to Nangong Yufeng, and it seemed that it was the first time he had heard Xi Cui say that he cared about himself so frankly, and it seemed that he had finally found the right way to get along with Xi Cui. But she was worried about the reputation of the Nangong family and Yun Ting's grievances, but she was not worried about herself, which made Nangong Yufeng frown, "So what about yourself?" Have you ever thought about yourself? ”

"Me?" Xi Cui shook his head, "It is difficult for a person who thinks of himself first in everything to succeed, because people's hearts are mutual, where you put people in your heart, others will leave a place for you in your heart, this is the truth that my mother taught me, I never dare to forget." It's okay to treat others like this, why can't I treat you and Yun Ting even more? In the same way, I have you in my heart, and naturally I hope that you will also put me in the same position of importance, and although it is difficult, I am still willing to have that hope. "Because in this world, I am the only one left with you......

This time, Nangong Yufeng was silent, but Xi Cui pulled the topic away with a smile and took the post back from his hand, "There is only one best way to think about it, and that is to go over with Princess Li." ”

"Huh? That's the best way to do it? Do you know that the mother ...... "I don't agree with you at all."

"Of course I know that Princess Li doesn't want to see me, but I have to pass this hurdle for her. And I believe that Princess Li is an extraordinary woman who knows the general situation, and she can distinguish between relatives and distances. All you have to do is tell her what I have said today, and then her chariot will come back and forth to the twilight moon to pick me up with her. Xi Cui said very confidently, as if she knew Princess Li very well.

But Nangong Yufeng is not so optimistic, these days the mother concubine has been repeatedly talking about finding him a suitable wife, if it wasn't for her nagging, why would he go to Ruyi Pavilion alone to drink? It's not because only the concubines there don't want to set foot there.

Seeing that his face was still full of entanglement, Xi Cui soothed, "Although I have never been a mother, I know a mother's intentions for her children, you can rest assured that she will not embarrass you in this matter." ”

"So that's what I said?" Nangong Yufeng will be skeptical.

Xi Cui nodded, looked at the sky outside, and frowned unconsciously, "It's all this time, why haven't the third brother and Rui Niang come back yet?" ”

As soon as he heard that Xi Cui began to worry about others again, Nangong Yufeng was half helpless and half distressed, but he couldn't help.

Speaking of time, Xi Cui thought of Nangong Yufeng again, "Then again, you should also go back to the palace, right?" Originally, I didn't plan to keep you the day before yesterday, if it weren't for the earnest words of the housekeeper of your palace, I would have asked Duan San to carry you back to the palace at that time. Now that it's been two days, shouldn't you go back to see your parents? ”

"So they know I'm with you?" Completely opposite to Xi Cui's anxiety, Nangong Yufeng, who was the main master, didn't look anxious at all, but instead cocked Erlang's legs, "The things that ordinary housekeepers know in their house probably know everything......"

"That's right, but it's not good for you to be like this, I've been passed on as a vixen outside, and you are so disrespectful to your elders and reckless behavior is inevitably said to be instigated by me, so am I wronged? If you are really good for me, you must be more filial to the prince and princess, and they can treat me well if they love you! Xi Cui lowered his head and sighed lightly, "In this world, the only people who are willing to be good to you for no reason are their parents, and even if they have a thousand things that are not acceptable, their intentions to treat their children are pure and thorough. Take advantage of their good side, be more obedient to them, let them be a little more happy and less worried, don't be like me, I want to raise but don't wait, I can only be sad for the moon. ”

Seeing that Xi Cui did not hesitate to use his scars to admonish himself, Nangong Yufeng sighed with emotion, "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?" At this moment, Xi Cui is more noble and virtuous than any woman in his eyes, like a plum tree standing proudly on the edge of a cliff in the mountains, left behind and isolated.

However, with the sudden appearance of Duan San, the atmosphere suddenly changed drastically.

The first thing that disturbed Nangong Yufeng's thoughts was Duan San's deep voice, "Our general is awake?" It's just that I don't know what makes the general drunk and unconscious? Or is it a beautiful woman pouring wine? ”

Hearing the three words of Ruyi Pavilion, Nangong Yufeng's whole body tightened again, and he had already felt this way twice in a row today. Is this the so-called being a thief?

Obviously, he was already embarrassed, but Duan San didn't mean to give up, but chased after him relentlessly, and continued, "You don't have to be so nervous, what you did in Ruyi Pavilion is clear to us Xi Cui, and even if you do something, it's not a big deal, after all, after hearing that Xi Cui is in trouble, you still rushed to the rescue in time, didn't you?" ”

The so-called speaker has no intention of listening, Duan San is just a few jokes, but there are ripples here in Nangong Yufeng. His words reminded him of what had happened that day, and he couldn't remember how much he had drunk, but there was still some lucidity in his mind. At that time, it was clear that someone came to tell him that Princess Chaoyang's car had arrived at the twilight moon, and Xi Cui was afraid that he would be in trouble, so he asked him to rescue him quickly.

But when he came over here, Twilight returned to everyone, who informed him? There is also a place like Ruyi Pavilion, where the woman of the good family is not close at all, how can Xi Cui know what he is doing in it. And Duan San is even more impossible to follow himself, he only goes every time after making sure that there are no suspicious people left and right, Duan San's kung fu path is very clear to him, he can't be there.

"Okay, don't be suspicious, Hanyan is familiar with me, she told me about you." Xi Cui said frankly, looking at Duan San with some dissatisfaction, she didn't want Nangong Yufeng to know about the cold smoke for the time being. Thanks to Duan San's gift, he can only tell the truth, otherwise Nangong Yufeng will find out in the future, and it will be another layer of suspicion.

"How do you know someone like that?" Hanyan's name is often mentioned in the capital's circle, although he is not interested in this person, but he also knows a little from the conversations of the people around him. This woman has both talent and beauty, but she is unusually high, and every time she welcomes customers, she has to wait for the price and sell, and the one with the highest price wins, but even so, she still makes many celebrities and gentlemen flock to her. How did Xi Cui know such a person?

Xi Cui wanted to tell the truth, but she couldn't. Hanyan's nobility comes from her sense of mystery, and once her identity is revealed, everything she has worked so hard for will be destroyed. It's not that Xi Cui doesn't trust Nangong Yufeng, but it doesn't make sense with a man like Nangong Yufeng. It's like for Han Yan, Xi Cui wants to respect and protect, and in the eyes of Nangong Yufeng, she is no different from other lowly women who sell her skin, and he won't care about her life or death. Because he doesn't care, he can freely make the facts public, without caring about what kind of damage this will cause to Hanyan, and he will even feel that he is a gentleman.

So Xi Cui thought for a while and replied, "We can't really know each other, but I personally came to put on a stick of incense on the funeral of my family, and wanted to talk to me about business." said that she wanted me to help her get to know Zhang Xun and others, and she helped me find out the news of some officials who often go in and out of Ruyi Pavilion. I thought it was feasible, so I agreed to her. ”

"What business is there to talk about with such a person? Can a woman who can even sell herself at will be reliable? Nangong Yufeng was very disdainful.

"You don't understand that. In this world, there is only one reliable way to buy and sell, and that is to take what you need. And that's exactly the case between us, so at least for now she's reliable. I learned a lot about the news she sent, and I'll tell you all about it later. "I can't let him continue to dwell on this topic, otherwise Xi Cui is really afraid that he won't be able to hold back.

Fortunately, Nangong Yufeng didn't continue to ask, because he thought of the person who notified him to come over to help Xi Cui, who was dressed up and was clearly the subordinate of Ruyi Pavilion, could it be that person was also Hanyan's handiwork? But how could she, a prostitute, know the whereabouts of the princess?

Father is right, there is no one in this world who is an ordinary existence. This woman named Hanyan is definitely not simple, but who among all the people he knows so far?

If an ant wants to live, it must have the strength to shake the tree, let alone a person full of wisdom. It is precisely because of the unique wisdom of human beings that human beings are more complex than other animals. Different people's desires will be different at the same time, and even the same person's desires will change at different times. It is these desires that keep happening, and can never really be satisfied, that make people constantly fight with each other, and those who are deeply involved must change accordingly, either become strong and become victors, or fall with the tide and become followers, or be weak and become losers, at the mercy of others.

And he was so naïve before, forcing Xi Cui to be as naïve as himself, and even grieved because of some of Xi Cui's small methods...... It's really pitiful and hateful!

Rui Niang has been following behind Duan San, but Duan San's opening remarks attracted everyone's attention, and she was naturally ignored when she stood beside Duan San.

However, Xi Cui was the first to discover her, she wanted to tell her about the Wang family, but it was about Rui Niang's identity, whether to let Nangong Yufeng know that she had to discuss with Rui Niang in advance before she could decide, and she couldn't confess this matter directly in front of Nangong Yufeng.

Rui Niang saw her and knew that she had something to say to herself, so she made a gesture and said goodbye, she should go to see the child first after going out for a long time.

Duan San then also found a chance to go out, but soon turned back, this room was his Duan San's.

Looking at each other and smiling at Nangong Yufeng, Xi Cui came out with him.

It's time to leave, people who get drunk often can figure out a lot of things, and Nangong Yufeng at this time is. He walked slowly to the gate, helped down the steps, and turned around Xi Cui to stand on the high place behind him, smiling lightly.

In the Liwang Mansion, as soon as Nangong Yufeng's figure appeared, the maid who was watering the flowers was stupid and stunned in place, and the wooden scoop smashed on the ground with a bang, splashing in all directions.

Nangong Yufeng was just about to say something, when he saw the girl running into the main room with a smoke, and shouted as she ran, "Princess Princess, the prince is back...... Came back......"

Immediately afterwards, Princess Jianli hurriedly ran out, and in the princess's opinion, the reason why Yu Feng ran away from home was simply to be angry with her, and wanted to dispel her idea of marrying a wife for him. Later, when she heard that he had hidden in a place like Ruyi Pavilion, she was anxious and angry. So at first she was in a stalemate with him, he didn't come back, and she didn't look for it. Two or three days later, he still didn't go home, she began to be anxious but still couldn't pull down her face and go out to find him, and after three **** finally couldn't hold it anymore, but the housekeeper reported that he went to the twilight moon to return. No one could understand her anger or loss, but her heartache almost suffocated her, as if her heart had been dragged away by life. He still went to that woman, no matter how much she cherished him and held him like a treasure, he finally chose another woman. The affection between mother and son is not mutual, and the mother knows that it is very likely to be her own unilateral giving, but even if there is no return, she still gives without hesitation. When he loses, he pretends to be calm, and he is still full of spring breeze in front of people, graceful and luxurious, and he secretly weeps after people......

That's it, she told herself that she would live for herself from now on, and she could really live her own life from now on. Don't think about him, don't worry about him anymore, don't care if he eats well, don't care if he's dressed properly, and don't care when he's back......

But no matter how she hypnotized him repeatedly, she never really put him down, it was the life she gave birth to in October, it was the child she fed and grew up one by one, and supported the child step by step, it was her last reliance and all her trust in this life, how could she say that she would let it go?

So the people around her know that these **** people can't sleep and eat, and they still miss him.

Finally he came back? She stood on a high place, leaning on the door frame and looking at the handsome and tall man standing in the middle of the courtyard, as if she had not changed much from when she left! That's good, but she can't help but feel sad......

Nangong Yufeng looked up at his mother from afar, how could she lose so much weight? The eye sockets were stained with blue and black circles, and the complexion was dark and irrelevant, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden......

Is she sick?

Nangong Yufeng remembered Xi Cui's sad expression, and her sentence, the son wants to raise but does not wait! For some reason, he couldn't move like he had lead in his legs, and he couldn't tell if it was distress or fear.

The mother and son just looked at each other, and no one approached......

When the housekeeper entered the door, he saw that the two masters wanted to speak like this, but they didn't dare to speak, so they could only stand on the side with their bodies bowed. It wasn't until King Li himself came that as soon as he saw the butler standing by the door with his body shrunk, he immediately became angry, kicked him up, and shouted angrily, "Tell you to come and find someone, and you are shrunk in the corner to cool off?" ”

The butler was kicked and rolled to the ground unsuspectingly, and the deadlock was broken.

Only then did Prince Li find Nangong Yufeng standing in the courtyard, and Princess Li was standing on the threshold of the main house, the eyes of the mother and son were all cast to him, King Li smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly pulled up the housekeeper lying on the ground, and while smiling at the mother and son, he gritted his teeth and asked the housekeeper, "What's going on?" Did they quarrel? ”

The butler secretly raised his eyes, shook his head, and replied in a low voice, "This, I don't know, that's it when I came in." The two of them just stood like this, and neither of them spoke...... The slave thinks, you should talk to the princess first, the prince has always been the princess, and the princess may have a turning point in this matter, otherwise, with the temper of the prince...... You know, what the prince most admires is the gentleman's style, but we are really ...... Alas......"

"Okay, okay, I'll think again!" Prince Li blasted away the housekeeper, and his heart began to be entangled. He had already thought about asking for help from the princess, but it was one thing to think about it, and it was another thing to do it, okay? It was enough to accept Shujuan behind the princess's back, and for the sake of the child in Shujuan's belly, she forced her to give Shujuan's identity as an aunt, and after these two things were tossed, the love between their husband and wife had long existed in name only. Where did he dare to stand in front of her and let her help him talk in front of his son? Every time he faced Princess Li's disdainful gaze, he couldn't wait to wrap his face.

But they have already come, and they have agreed to at least pretend to be respectful in front of Yu Feng, how can they leave without saying anything at this time?

Nangong Yufeng had already heard the conversation between him and the housekeeper clearly, and he knew that he was here for himself. knows even more about the embarrassment between him and his mother, they have covered it up for so many years but don't know that he knows everything at all, they just don't expose it. For his own sake and for his mother, because only he knows that every time his father comes here, his mother will deliberately dress up, in fact, she still has expectations for this man in her heart, right? Otherwise, he would not work tirelessly to run his family, so that he could be a rich and idle king without worry.

So what about the moment? He looked up at the top of the steps, and the concubine had already returned to the room, and she really didn't want her embarrassed appearance to be seen by her father.

"Alas......" Prince Li sighed helplessly, did she really not want to see me? Seeing Nangong Yufeng looking at him, Prince Li immediately smiled stiffly, "I quarreled with your mother two days ago, but I didn't expect her to hold a grudge against ......" (to be continued.) )
