Princess Chu actually came... The shopkeeper was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Nangong Xu glanced at the jewelry placed in the brocade box in front of him, picked out a magnolia hairpin carved from mutton fat white jade, and reached out and inserted it into Nangong Mo's hair. This hairpin is also very good, excellent mutton fat white jade carving, although the carving is simple but the lines are smooth and round, the half-opened magnolia flower with a kind of earthly beauty. However, Xue Xiaoxiao will not like this kind of elegant jewelry, but it is very suitable for Nangong Mo.
Nangong Mo was stunned for a moment, and reached out to help the hairpin between his hair. She just glanced at the hairpin one more time.
Nangong Xu said: "Didn't you say that men should often give gifts?" ”
When Nangong Mo heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "Then thank you big brother." ”
Nangong Xu hooked the corners of his lower lip slightly, not much, but looked at the shopkeeper standing on the side, "That's all." ”
The shopkeeper nodded again and again and returned to the counter to settle the accounts with the brocade box, secretly regretting in his heart why he didn't prepare more good things, these two are not bad money. But it's good to be able to earn these, after all, these two didn't go to the famous big shops in Jinling, but to his little-known small shop, which is a miracle like pie falling from the sky.
In fact, it's not that Nangong Mo doesn't take Nangong Xu to those big shops, it's just that Nangong Mo knows what Nangong Mo has in those places. Moreover, there are a lot of people who do the dowry these days, and the good things that should be there are almost scraped, and even a few shops under the name of the Chu Wangfu are in short supply these days. You might as well be able to get some surprises in these places.
No, didn't you find a lot of things you like?
The shopkeeper quickly settled the account and sent a bill to the two of them, "Lord Hou, princess, there are a total of four pieces of jewelry, except for the one on the princess's head, the other three pieces are sent to the Jing'an Hou Mansion." The total amount of benefits is 3,200 taels. Nangong Xu finished the bill, nodded and said, "Go to my house to settle the bill." ”
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, saw the two get up and prepared to leave, and sent the two out of the house with gratitude.
As soon as he walked to the door, he was met by several people who came in from outside, and almost pretended to be full of arms with a woman in the front. Nangong Xu's expression was indifferent, and he turned sideways slightly to avoid the other party. Nangong Mo's skills were naturally even more unlikely to be bumped into, and he kindly pulled the shopkeeper who was walking behind. This shopkeeper looks like he's in his sixtieth year, and if he gets hit, I'm afraid I'll hurt my muscles and bones.
The woman in the lead pulled a woman behind her to walk quickly, talking to the woman behind her as she walked. I didn't even notice that someone was coming, and it was too late to pause when I found out. Although Nangong Mo and the others avoided it smoothly, the woman suddenly stopped and collided with the person who was being pulled by her behind.
"Oops."
The two women were dizzy when they were hit, and the girl who followed behind was also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the two.
Nangong Xu glanced back at Nangong Mo, and when he saw that she was fine, he didn't care about anything else, and said softly: "Let's go first." ”
Nangong Mo nodded, and was about to go out with Nangong Xu, but he heard the woman who came in before suddenly exclaimed, "Brother-in-law?!" ”
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and Nangong Xu continued to walk out without the slightest pause, as if he hadn't heard the woman's cry at all. The woman refused to give up, and stepped forward to pull Nangong Xu's sleeve, "Brother-in-law, don't you remember us?" ”
Nangong Mo raised his hand and held the hand that the man wanted to pull Nangong Xu, raised his eyebrows slightly, the woman in front of him looked like she was in her twenties, her appearance was not bad, and she also felt a little familiar. Well, I remembered that it was when she first returned to Jinling that Lin received her sister who had been to the Duke of Chu's mansion, Lin Yuelan.
"Who are you?!" Lin Yuelan was grabbed by the wrist and asked with some displeasure. But as soon as the words fell, she was stunned, of course she couldn't remember Nangong Mo's appearance.
"Husband?" The other woman who was supported by the girl finally turned around and looked at Nangong Xu and said pitifully.
Nangong Mo couldn't help but stroke his forehead and looked sideways at Nangong Xu. The expression on Nangong Xu's face did not change, and he was still as cold and calm as usual, as if what suddenly appeared in front of him was not his former wife but a stranger he had never met. Nangong Xu said lightly to Nangong Mo: "Mo'er, let's go." ”
Nangong Mo nodded, glancing at the Lin family and Lin Yuelan with a somewhat cold expression.
Lin obviously couldn't accept Nangong Xu's ruthless attitude, and the body holding the girl's hand trembled slightly, as if he had been hit hard, "Husband, I ......"
Nangong Mo said in a deep voice: "Miss Lin, please be cautious. My brother has just made a marriage, and the eldest lady of the Xue family has not yet passed the door. "The Lin family is obviously much haggard and older than the appearance of being the eldest young lady in the Duke of Chu Mansion a few days ago. He looked a few years older than she really was. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the Lin family is not a big family, let alone the Zhao family, a family whose daughter can do such a thing and have a face that can cover it. The Lin family and Nangong Xu reconciled, and the Lin family was able to take her back and give her a place to stay. At the beginning, she was the young lady of the Duke of Chu, and the brothers and sisters of the Lin family naturally wanted to hold her. But the Mansion of Chu is gone, she is a woman who has reconciled with her husband, and she returns to her parents' house to eat and live for nothing, even if she uses her dowry, the brothers and sisters in the family will never be very happy.
Naturally, the Lin family is not unaware of this truth. But if she wants to be sent out and exiled to suffer with Nangong Xu, she is absolutely unwilling. She felt that she had suffered a lot in the Chu State Mansion, and she didn't have Gan, why did she want to go to Nangong Xu to share the suffering? It's just that she was afraid and couldn't imagine that the Nangong family, which had obviously been suppressed to the end, would be able to rise again, even better than before. When Nangong Xu was established, he was awarded the title of Marquis by virtue of his own ability, and his future achievements will never be under Nangong's arms, and Nangong Mo became a princess. When she heard the news just now, the Lin family couldn't even believe it, in her heart, Nangong Xu was not a capable person.
Thinking of this, a line of tears couldn't help but fall from Lin's eyes.
"Husband, I've been missing you all these years." Lin said with tears in his eyes: "I've been... Been waiting for you to come back. ”
Nangong Mo sneered, since they knew that the Lin family wanted to entangle Nangong Xu, how could they not go to the Lin family? The Lin family has not been waiting for Nangong Xu all these years, but no one is willing to marry her at all. The Lin family originally relied on the Chu State Mansion to have some confidence, but once the Chu State Mansion collapsed, the Lin family would not be able to do so. Lin has been the young lady of the Duke of Chu, although Nangong Xu is not a commendable good husband, at least he is young and good-looking, and his personality is cold, but he does not have those problems or bad habits that like to mess with flowers and grass. Even when he was in the Duke Mansion of Chu, the Lin family was dissatisfied with his situation and felt that he had been wronged. But after leaving the Duke of Chu Mansion, she would know that with the conditions of the Lin family, she had no good choice at all.
After Lin Yuelan was sent back to the Lin family, it took a year or two before she married a businessman to fill the house. As for the Lin family, only some old men who are not too old are willing to marry her as a house-filler, or marry a slightly better family as a concubine, she is naturally unwilling. So it took several years, and I still live in my mother's house now. After a long time, not only the Lin family's brother and daughter-in-law, but even the Lin family's father and mother are very unkind to see this daughter who always has a grudge on her face1. When the news of Nangong Xu's marquis came, the Lin family immediately sent someone to the door, but unfortunately they were rejected by Nangong Xu. As for the Lin family, today is the first time they have met in so many years.
Although he has always liked the Lin family very much, Nangong Mo actually has no bad opinion of the Lin family leaving cleanly when Nangong Xu was in trouble. After all, the Lin family is just an ordinary weak woman, and Nangong Xu doesn't have many deep feelings, and it is human nature that she doesn't want to suffer crimes. But now that it's like this, it's a little disgusting to see Nangong Xu developed and want to stick to it again. Especially what he said all the time and the like, it was as if the Lin family had been waiting for her husband to come back all these years, and Nangong Xu Ruoshui ignored her as a ruthless and unrighteous Bo Xingren.
"Miss Lin, please make it clear, you were already reconciled when the eldest brother left Jinling. If you make this appearance now, if people spread it, people who don't know will still think that my eldest brother is unkind. Nangong Mo said in a deep voice, although this shop is not big, and it is not a famous store in Jinling, there are still many people coming and going. Even when they stood at the door for a moment, there were already many curious onlookers. If the Lin family's words reached the Xue family, although the two heads of the Xue family were reasonable people, they would not misunderstand Nangong Xu. But the future father-in-law and brother-in-law may not be immune to a meal of flesh pain. Although Nangong Mo felt that Xue Zhen and Xue Bin's martial arts were very ordinary, Nangong Xu was more ordinary than them.
"I..." Lin looked at Nangong Mo with some grievances, and stopped talking.
Lin Yuelan has changed a lot in the past few years since she got married, and she was angry when she saw Lin's uncompetitive appearance. He pulled her and said to Nangong Mo: "Princess Chu, as the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a family." It's a good thing that my eldest sister can reunite with her brother-in-law, what do you mean by always getting in the way? ”
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise who was a little more shrewd and scathing than a few years ago, and said with a faint smile: "I heard that the Lin family is also a scholarly family, but I'm afraid that this lady has misunderstood the allusion of the broken mirror reunion, my eldest brother and Miss Lin back then, if they go long, they can only be regarded as flying separately when disaster comes, so why don't you use the word broken mirror reunion, right?" ”
The onlookers remembered that the Duke of Chu Mansion was raided and Nangong Xu was exiled, and they nodded one after another.
Lin Yuelan was a little annoyed, and pulled Lin's sleeve to signal her to speak. Lin bit the corner of his lip and said, "Husband, are you really blaming me?" At the beginning, it was obviously you who proposed and left. ”
"Mo'er, let's go." Nangong Xu didn't go to see the Lin family, but just said to Nangong Modao.
Nangong Mo nodded, and also felt that it was really boring for them to theorize in this kind of place. Moreover, what should be said has already been said, and the rest of the people will naturally figure it out for themselves. Talking too much makes people think that they are bullying.
Seeing that the two were about to walk out of the shop, the Lin sisters were also a little anxious. These days, the people of the Lin family have come to the door more than once to ask to see Nangong Xu, but they are not allowed to enter. I finally met it on the street today, so if I just let it go... Their Lin family is really coming to an end.
couldn't take care of much, Lin Yuelan took two steps forward and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, we know that you are about to marry the eldest lady of the Xue family." My sister is infatuated with you, and she doesn't dare to complain. After Miss Xue enters the door, my sister will definitely serve Miss Xue with the gift of the main room. ”
Lin couldn't imagine that his sister would say such a thing in public, and his face suddenly turned red. But he couldn't help but look up at Nangong Xu, with a little expectation in his eyes. Nangong Xu didn't mean to turn back, and directly pulled Nangong Mo and walked out.
Lin Yuelan was angry and annoyed when she saw this, and she stomped her feet in anger, "Why is he like this?" We're all willing to take a step back and even ......."
The shopkeeper next to him secretly pouted, Jing'anhou is in his prime, and he is in a high position, even if he wants to take a concubine, there are many people who send the girl in her prime to the door, is it still rare for you to succeed?
The Lin family didn't have Lin Yuelan's cheekiness like Lin Yuelan, who had been practicing outside with her husband for several years, and she was ashamed and embarrassed to pull Lin Yuelan to leave. Lin Yuelan slapped her hand away impatiently and said, "Such a rare opportunity, are you so useless?" ”
Lin complained: "He has always been hard-hearted, what can I do?" In the past, when they were still husband and wife, she had seen Nangong Xu's ruthlessness, not to mention that now they had nothing to do with each other.
Lin Yuelan snorted lightly, looked at the Lin family and said, "Sister, don't say I won't remind you, this is your last chance." Let Jing'anhou take you back to do a side room or be married by your father and mother to an old man in his seventies and eighties, you can do it yourself. ”
As soon as she reminded her, Lin's face turned pale. One hand tugged at the sleeve of his shirt tightly, looking at the backs of the brother and sister who were drifting away not far away, and his heart was filled with remorse. Why didn't she go into exile with Nangong Xu in the first place? In fact, Nangong Xu didn't suffer much in those years. Compared with Qiao Feiyan's mother and son, who are still struggling in the bitter cold land of the border pass, Nangong Xu, who was exiled from Qingzhou and ran to Youzhou not long after, is simply having a smooth ride. If she followed Nangong Xu to Youzhou at the beginning, then now... Mrs. Jing'anhou, that's her.
Thinking of the brilliant Miss Xue family who happened to see on the street one day, a trace of envy and jealousy flashed in Lin's eyes.
It's a pity... It's too late to regret.
------Off topic------
ps: If the Lin family had been exiled with Nangong Xu, even if she didn't go to Nangong Xu again, she would not have taken a break from her. The ancients said that the wife of the chaff will not go to court, and the wife who has suffered with you will be spurned after she is developed. Although in ancient times there were seven rules, which was very unfair to women. But in fact, there are still three after seven outs. Those who have kept filial piety for their parents-in-law, there is no one in their mother's house, and there are husbands who are poor first and then in a daze, and those whose wives accompany you can't rest. As for the seven outs, the childless article does not mean that you can give up after two or three years of marriage without children. It seems that it is generally said that the husband is forty years old and has no children, but ordinary people's families have spent most of their lives together, who would go to divorce their wives, that is, those rich and noble families.
pss: There's basically nothing wrong with the Lin family in the back, this kind of person is not very popular, but I personally don't think this kind of person needs to be ruined and miserable. Because she's already having a hard time herself.
