4. Brother is here!
The former residence of the Nangong family in Xifeng Village is not small, although after the completion of this former residence, Nangong Huai, the Duke of Chu, including his family, has not lived here for a day. Even over the years, he has never come back to worship his ancestors. But these rather simple villagers still cleaned up the house properly for the Nangong family.
Nangong Mo did not live in this mansion, but lived in a private house not far from this mansion. There is no need for her to live in such a big house alone, and she is even more lazy to be a boring young lady and send some people back to serve. What's more, over the years, her cheap father is afraid that he has forgotten that he has such a daughter, and he has never sent back even a little silver. The steward who came to collect rent every year even treated her, the eldest lady of the Nangong family, as if she was not a zĂ i. Gradually, the people in the village also began to spread rumors that she, the eldest lady of the Nangong family, had been expelled from the house by Nangong Huai and did not recognize her at all. If she hadn't learned medical skills from her master and saved the life of the village chief's only son, I'm afraid that this Xifeng Village would have been unable to accommodate her a long time ago.
People in this era are not as free as modern people think, even if there is no Internet wanted and no ID card. But no matter where you go, if you are 100 miles away from your village, you need an official way. What's more, the master and uncle lived in seclusion on the mountain not far from Xifeng Village, and Nangong Mo didn't want to be too far away from his only two relatives in this world.
Carrying a basket of freshly picked herbs back to the village, the oncoming sister-in-law Liu stepped forward and said with a happy face: "Miss Mo is back, and she is picking medicine again?" â
Nangong Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Sister-in-law Liu." Pick up some medicine and go to the city tomorrow to exchange some silver taels. â
Sister-in-law Liu nodded again and again, and praised: "Miss Mo is really capable, there is no such powerful character as Miss Mo in our village, she is worthy of being the daughter of the Duke of Chu." â
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "Sister-in-law Liu, what's the matter?" â
Sister-in-law Liu smiled: "No, I almost forgot." There are a lot of people in the Mansion of Chu State, and they must have come to pick up Miss Mo home. Speaking of which, Miss Mo is also sixteen years old, and she should have gone back a long time ago. Otherwise... This girl's family is ...... for life."
"Sister-in-law Liu, I'll go back first." Without waiting for Sister-in-law Liu to finish speaking, Nangong Mo picked up the basket and walked quickly to his home.
Sure enough, before I got to the door, I found that the door of my house was open, and there were many servant girls standing at the door. Seeing Nangong Mo, he first looked at her a little critically, as if he had just reacted, and said with a smile: "But the eldest lady is back?" â
Nangong Moxiu raised her eyebrows lightly, didn't bother to pay attention to these people, and stepped into the room. It is not a large ordinary house, but it is a hall in the middle, and a room on each side. One is a bedroom and the other is a kitchen. The hall that doubles as a living room has only one table, a few stools, and a few bamboo baskets with herbs. The entire hall was filled with a faint aroma of herbs.
There were two young men standing in the hall. The elder is about twenty-one or twelve, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, and his aura is extraordinary. The other was dressed in a light purple brocade robe, and looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old. looks handsome and Yasven, but he is three points similar to Nangong Mo.
The two of them couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the girl who came in with a man. When he saw the blue cloth clothes that Nangong Mo was wearing, his face suddenly changed.
Nangong Xu moved his Adam's apple with some difficulty, but he didn't say anything, "You..."
However, the younger Nangong Hui didn't have so many worries, and stepped forward to grab Nangong Mo and said, "Are you a dumper?" How do you dress like this? "Qian'er is the eldest lady from the Duke of Chu, and she is dressed like an ordinary folk girl, living in this short and narrow house. Looking at the brocade clothes on his body again, thinking about the days he has lived over the years, Nangong Hui couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Tile, you've suffered. My brother is here to pick you up. Nangong Hui sadly stretched out his hand to hug Nangong Mo and said in a low voice.
Nangong Mo lowered his eyes, took a step back without a trace, avoided his embrace, and said lightly: "What are you doing here?" â
"Tilt, my eldest brother and I will pick you up." Nangong Hui looked at the empty hand and was stunned, and hurriedly smiled.
Nangong Mo said lightly: "My name is Nangong Mo." â
Both of them were stunned, although they hadn't seen their sister for several years, but they hadn't even forgotten their sister's name. It can only be said that Nangong Mo changed his name by himself.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Nangong Xu sighed and said, "We came suddenly... I have suffered all these years, and it will be good when I return to Jinling. Father is also here, so let's go and see my father and mother first. Looking at the simple furnishings in the room, Nangong Xu frowned.
Nangong Mo raised his eyes, looked at Nangong Xu lightly, and said, "I said, I am Nangong Mo." Also, my mother died eight years ago. â
After speaking, he ignored the two of them, put down the basket and turned to go into his room.
"Tilt!" Behind him, Nangong Xu said in a deep voice: "Big brother knows that you have been wronged over the years, but you should have had enough temper trouble." â
A wave of anger rose from Nangong Mo's heart, Nangong Mo closed his eyes and tried to suppress the sadness and grievances that obviously did not belong to him. Turning around, he sneered and said, "Enough trouble? What do I have to make trouble? No matter how much trouble I made, I didn't abandon my wife and daughter, and I didn't admit that I was a thief and a mother no matter how much trouble I made! â
Hearing this, Nangong Xu and Nangong Hui couldn't help but tremble, and their faces turned white. There was silence in the hall.
Nangong Mo glanced at the two of them coldly, and entered the room with a sneer.
In the hall, the two brothers looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while. Nangong Hui hesitated for a moment before saying, "Big brother... The little sister is not sensible, don't blame her. She's been going on all these years... Suffered a lot. â
Nangong Xu smiled bitterly and said lightly: "She's right, it's not... Do you recognize a thief as a mother? Let's go back first. â
"That's... Little sister..."Nangong Hui said.
Nangong Xu thought for a while, "Go back and tell your father first, and then talk about it when she calms down." Turning back and taking a deep look at the grass-yellow curtain behind him, Nangong Xu walked out.
"The eldest son, the second son." The servants waiting outside the door greeted them.
Nangong Xu said in a deep voice: "Go and clean the next room, and leave two people waiting to see what the young lady has to say." â
"Be careful, if you neglect Miss, be careful of your dog's life!" Nangong Hui said in a deep voice.
"Yes, eldest son, second son." Everyone responded in unison.
