I haven't seen her for five years, and I don't know if her little lady is alone in the Grange, whether she is haggard because her life is more lonely.

Her initial perception of beauty comes from Xiao Niang, even if the impression of Xiao Niang is cold, she has never neglected her manners, and then her heart is like ashes, but people are not like wood, and the exquisite embroidered skirt is unwilling to wear, but it is beautiful and dusty, and it is still unique. Fang Qi thought at that time, she was happy when she saw Xiao Niang, and wanted to be close to Xiao Niang as if she was born with a wish, why did her father get tired of Xiao Niang and never look at each other?

After an hour and a half, when I arrived at Tianyuan Village, Fang Qi had just gotten off the carriage, and before I could see the plaque on the lintel, I heard a burst of laughter.

The black lacquer door is half open, the door is reclaimed out of a few vegetable fields, there is a courgette frame to make a natural shadow wall, the yellow flowers are in the green leaves, and the green leaves are hanging melons, the joke is from behind the melon shelf.

There is a napping servant in the door, Meng Zhou Gong dreams of concentrating, afraid that he has forgotten the duty of the gatekeeper, most of the people living in this countryside are farmers, the villagers are simple, and there should be no theft, so the little maid who guards the door is also relaxed.

Fang Qi stopped Qin from waking up the doorman.

Between the vegetable fields, beside the melon shelf, there is a gravel road for passing, Fang Qi walked along this road, more than ten steps, she saw Xiao Niang.

Inside is a corridor set up with grape trellises, there are more than a dozen women in the corridor, look at the clothes are ordinary peasant women, there are shoe soles, there are lotus seeds, there are children sitting on their knees gossiping, the little lady is also doing needlework, like embroidering a fan, next to the little lady is a woman thirty miles away, combing buns, half-old green cloth shirts, tied with yellow on the waist, with gold leaf earrings, it seems that the family should be relatively wealthy, she is ridiculing the little lady: "The lady's pattern is good, but the needlework female red is not worthy of such exquisite patterns, I taught it by hand, but it turned out that the stitch was still wrong. ”

Fang Qi saw that the little lady smiled slightly, but still concentrated on embroidering the fan.

It turns out that the little lady is not good at needle chisel female red.

A woman sitting idly with a child in her arms was amazed: "Ah! Which little lady is this, she was born really smart, but she looked at it, she shouldn't be a person near Zuo, could it be that she went to Tianzhong Mountain to cool off, but she went astray? ”

Su Xiaoniang raised her eyes and looked over, and the needle in her hand stopped.

's own daughter is naturally recognized at a glance.

She hurriedly got up and stepped forward, still holding back the churning emotions in her heart, but she hadn't seen her for five years, and she never said the words of questioning.

Fang Qi also endured her emotions, politely saw her, and asked her mother for her well-being.

So the women all knew that Fang Qi and Su Xiaoniang were mother and daughter, they were not outside, one by one praised the daughter of the Xiangdi was really noble, the etiquette was learned well, and let Fang Qi eat candied fruit, speaking of the daily life in the countryside, Fang Qi only knew that in the past five years, her little lady often taught the daughter of the left family to read and write, as well as Fuqin to make poems, the woman with a bun, before marrying was an employee of the embroidery village, but the daughter was fortunate to be selected into a family of scholars to be a piano servant because of the little lady's training, and the wages earned were much stronger than those of the embroidery village, and the village women were grateful to the little lady. That's why I often come to talk and laugh with my little lady.

Fang Qi can see that the little lady has a much smoother life than when she was in the Xiangdi.

So five years have passed, and my face is still not a little haggard, although the daily diet is far less hearty and delicious than in the Xiangdi, the body has not been cleared, and the complexion is better than before.

Fang Qi felt that all the depression in her heart had dissipated, and she was very glad that Xiao Niang made the choice five years ago.

In the evening, Fang Qi cooked, and for the first time in their lives, the mother and daughter ate at the same table.

"Why did Sanniang come here?" Su Shi finally asked.

"I ruined my second sister's marriage." Fang Qi's expression was not panicked: "It's Weng Weng's order, but of course the eldest lady will take me as the culprit." Little lady, no matter whether the little lady continues to alienate me or not, the eldest lady's jealousy towards me will not be diminished by a point. ”

Su Shi looked at Fang Qi for a long time before he let out a long sigh.

"After so many years of hard work in vain, I believe that if you hadn't had your own plans, you wouldn't have acted so recklessly."

"With the little lady here, I'm not afraid of the eldest lady's difficulties, I have a lot of questions in my heart......"

"I know the doubts in your heart, now that I don't need to hide it from you, Ah Qi should have heard of Fan Lou, right?"

"Kaifeng Fan Tower, famous for David, although it should no longer be grand at this time, but the people who moved south to Lin'an, all miss the prosperity of Fan Lou, and regard Fan Lou as a witness on behalf of the once prosperous capital, of course I have heard it."

"I was originally a Fan Lou man, good at piano singing, able to write poems, the old name was Miaoyin Xian, everyone should have heard of it. Wei and Liao have not always been hostile, there was a period of time when the two countries were allies, agreed not to go to war with each other, the prince of Liao made Wei, once patronized Fan Lou, and I got acquainted, so Kaifeng City was broken, the emperor's clan was taken captive, the Liao people did not embarrass me, and even treated me extremely politely, and the Liao prince invited me to go to Beijing. ”

Speaking of the old things, Su's eyes were a little stunned: "I agreed, not to steal peace, in order to persuade the Liao people to treat me well to defend the emperor, the emperor and the royal family, on the way to Beijing, the Liao people wanted to rape/insult the concubine and the emperor, and even the queen mother of the country often scolded and scolded, so that she picked up her salary and made a fire, so that she bathed her feet for the Liao general, at that time, in addition to me, there was still your father who was not afraid of angering the Liao general and causing death, and it was reasonable to ask the Liao people to treat the emperor and the clan with courtesy, and I started at that timeand he felt admiration for your father. ”

"I know that all the people were taken captive by the Liao people to go to Beijing, but no one dares to mention that old thing, and now no one dares to mention it."

"Your grandfather once descended to Liao, and he was carefully selected to gain the trust of the Liao people, and was once promoted to a high-ranking official of the Liao State, although in order to be pardoned and returned to the defense in the future, but because this experience is very easy to be impeached for treason and glory, and even questioned the details of the repatriation of the Liao State, so the experience of the Liao State is naturally secretive."

Fang Qi asked: "Weng Weng pays more attention to me than other granddaughters, it should be because of Xiao Niang." ”

Su shook his head: "Your grandfather can be trusted by Emperor Liao, and I have some mediation skills, and later Emperor Liao promised to pardon the family and return to the guards, but also because I persuaded Prince Liao to intercede for your grandfather." ”

No wonder her grandfather has a blue eye for her, and her own little mother has made such a great contribution!

Fang Qi said indignantly: "Daddy doesn't know that the glory and wealth of Xiangdi today are inseparable from the contribution of the little lady, and he still snubs the little lady so much!" ”

"I can't complain about Da Langjun, I should be blamed for wishful thinking." Su sighed: "I was committed to Prince Liao, it was not a complete body, but I didn't know that Da Langjun valued loyalty so much, I didn't know that he was not willing, but because of your grandfather's coercion to accept me as a concubine, and then I finally knew, and I also thought about leaving, but I was already pregnant at that time, and I could live in the Trick Pavilion, but I couldn't let Sanniang you also follow me to manage the cheap business." ”

Fang Qi really despises his biological father.

What if the little lady used to be a trick? If it weren't for Xiao Niang, the Qin family would still be a subordinate, don't even think about returning to the guard, loyalty, if you are so loyal, you should refuse to surrender, after the city of Kaifeng is broken, there is no shortage of real loyal ministers who would rather die than surrender! The father was not loyal as a guard, the first emperor was willing to be a prisoner of the enemy as a monarch, these men actually demanded the loyalty of a woman from Xiaoniang, and these people still have the face to call themselves manly husbands? It is clearly a manly tofu.

"We are not uncommon, those who look down on us." Fang Qi felt that she didn't care about being a rebel and unfilial girl at all, and brought her body closer to Xiao Niang: "Xiao Niang has been in the Grange for the past five years, and her life is a hundred times more comfortable than when she was in the Xiang Mansion, but I don't know if there is a shortage of food and clothing, and there are still people around me who listen to the call?" ”

"Your grandfather didn't care about me, the monthly money was sent on time, more than when I was in the Xiangdi, and he also sent your fifth uncle to ask me to find a tooth to hire a few servants and maids, I live in the grange, there will naturally be no shortage of grain/rice/fruits and vegetables, Miao Niangzi will send things every season, and ordered the tenants of the grange, saying that I can't be slow to take care of things."

The fifth uncle is Qin Zhu, and Miao Niangzi has actually been called the fifth aunt by Fang Qi.

"It's okay that Weng Weng has a conscience."

Hearing Fang Qi say this, Su smiled helplessly: "Sanniang, your grandfather is not a loyal official, he is sleek and long-sleeved and good at dancing, and Da Langjun is actually two types of people, but in terms of personal feelings, Qin Gong is still very kind, but Qin Gong treats me well, and it is the kindness of the Liao Kingdom, you are different from me, your surname is Qin, you are the lady of the Xiangdi, the relatives will not regard you as a benefactor, you came to me today and told me about your situation, I know that you understand in your heart, your marriage and life, you can't just count on your grandfather." ”

"Weng Weng to the wife...... seems to be a little duplicitous, otherwise he wouldn't have secretly told me to prevent my second sister from marrying the Ge family. "Fang Qi used a bit of a roundabout method.

is the biological mother, she doesn't want to mention the existence of the system at this time, so she can't directly ask the little lady if she knows if her grandfather has a biological son.

"Your grandfather is really affectionate to the old lady, even in the Liao State, I don't know if I can return to the guard, of course, I don't care about the Wang family, Emperor Liao intends to give Xiao Jieyu of the first emperor's harem to your grandfather as a concubine, for your grandfather to give birth to a parent, the old lady would rather die than obey, although your grandfather has the intention of winning the trust of Emperor Liao, but in this matter he did not give an inch, and finally let Emperor Liao take back his fate.

But your grandfather, whether he wants to give up, I know a secret. ”

Fang Qi immediately came to the spirit.

Su said: "When I was in Fanlou, my adoptive mother's surname was Jin, and Jin Niangzi accepted a total of four adopted daughters, one of whom was called Yunguanxian, she even had the favor of the first emperor, but Fanghua died early, which made the people of the capital regret. Yun Guan Xian has a friend Jian Si Niang, who was originally a person in front of the hall, and later because he angered the important minister Chai Xian, he can no longer the business of female tricks, Jian Si Niang and Yun Guan Xian can be called friends who have forgotten their years, Jian Siniang is about ten years older than Yun Guan Xian.

When Yunguanxian died of illness, my reputation had just risen, and I was entrusted by her to take care of my only confidant, Jian Siniang. And back then, Jian Siniang had already been taken in as an outer room and hid her in the golden house......"

"It's Weng." Fang Qi guessed.
