Chapter 111: Leaving the palace to send the Lin family
Just after the end of the year, Yangfu sent a letter, saying that the next day, Yangfu planned to set off to send the Lin family home, the road is far away, the time is long, and I hope that the queen can take care of herself, safe and smooth. The letter was not long, but the sorrow and despair expressed between the lines made Yang Xianrong's heart ache. Yang attached to this trip to the east, as little as eight or nine months, long, it is estimated that it will take more than a year, this way has to face all kinds of emergencies, Yang Xianrong is not very relieved, thought about it, decided to go back to Yangfu in person, send this sister-in-law who has been treating her well.
After deciding, Yang Xianrong asked Zhang Hui to invite Sima Xuanhua over, and promised her to take her out for a walk a few days ago, and today she will be able to fulfill her promise, on the one hand, she asked Su Chen to prepare the clothes for leaving the palace, and when Sima Xuanhua arrived, she urged her to change her clothes, get in a carriage and go outside the palace.
"Niangniang really does what she says," Sima Xuanhua was extremely excited, and said endlessly in the car: "I have wanted to go out of the palace to play since I was a child, but the queen mother did not allow it, saying that there is no reason to run out as a princess, and it is not safe outside, so although I wanted to sneak out several times, I did not succeed once, and I was reprimanded many times, I didn't expect that it would be you who could take me out of the palace." ”
Yang Xianrong smiled, looking at the lively Sima Xuanhua, this is the state that a girl's family should have, thinking that when Empress Jia is still there, she should be so lively and active, but after going through hardships, she hid her part of her temperament, pretending to be mature and steady. And how is this not the case with her sheep dedication? Since she entered the palace, she is not the original tireless girl's family, she is the mother of a stable country, and she is facing internal and external troubles, and finally she doesn't even have the heart to be so lively, she is going out of the palace today, and she is out of the palace as a little girl as before, and the liveliness in her body seems to be coming back.
Su Chen looked worried, Yang Xianrong said that he would leave the palace when he left the palace, neither notified the guard camp for protection, nor did he inform the king of Changsha to ask him to send troops, and now the king of Hejian and the king of Chengdu are still in the capital, they go out like this, they have no power to tie the chicken, once they encounter assassination, there is no possibility of escape.
Therefore, after leaving the palace, Su Chen lifted the curtain from time to time and looked outside vigilantly. Yang Xianrong smiled and reassured: "You are also too cautious, no one knows about us leaving the palace, how can we be in danger of being assassinated?" ”
"Why doesn't anyone know?" Su Chen frowned, she really had no choice but to raise her vigilance against this wayward queen, so she said: "When we leave the palace, at least the palace guards have seen it, how can you guarantee that there are no people in the guards who have been bought by the second king?" ”
"Makes sense, makes sense." Sima Xuanhua was afraid that Su Chen would continue to chatter, so he immediately followed her words and said, "It is indeed dangerous for us to do this. ”
"But it's already out, if someone really assassinates you, isn't it useless for you to probe your brain like this?" Yang Xianrong said: "Don't be too nervous, if I really die on this street today, I can only say that my fate should be like this." ”
Su Chen puffed out her cheeks angrily, and looked at Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua's leisurely appearance, but even Sima Xuanhua's personal girl Yuzhuo was overjoyed, and she was completely unaware of the danger, so she was even more annoyed, and pointed at Yuzhuo and said, "You are from outside the palace, why are you so happy?" ”
"I haven't been out in a long time." Yuzhuo said unconvinced.
Among the four, this jade is the youngest, and she will only turn fifteen years old this year, she was young when she entered the palace, and she was picked up outside the palace by Dong Meng, the eunuch next to Jia Nanfeng, when she was six or seven years old. It was a cold winter that year, Dong Meng went out of the palace on an errand on the order of Jia Nanfeng, and picked up a little girl who was dying of freezing on the side of the road. Dong Meng originally wanted to keep this girl by his side as his goddaughter, but who would have thought that the third princess Sima Xuanhua saw it by mistake, so he asked her to become his own girl. Later, Jia Nanfeng fell and Sima Xuanhua was imprisoned, this little girl is a loving and righteous person, when all the palace maids and eunuchs scrambled to break off the relationship with Jia Hou, and even did not hesitate to betray the old master, she chose to follow Sima Xuanhua without hesitation. The two of them have gone through all kinds of unbearable years, and they finally survived, and she was sincerely grateful for the sheep that rescued them, and even let down her guard earlier than Sima Xuanhua. And she will never forget the first time she saw Su Chen that day, this sister spoke to her gently, so she treated Su Chen even more differently, very kindly.
Su Chen glanced at Yuzhuo: "Heartless." ”
Yuzhuo gave Su Chen a grimace, which made a carload of people laugh.
The car stopped in front of the Yangfu gate, Yang Xianrong led the three people to get out of the car, and walked to the house, because there was no prior notice, her sudden arrival made the whole Yangfu mess into a pot of porridge, Yang Xuanzhi hurriedly ran out of the small grass house where he lived, knelt down in front of Yang Xianrong, panted, and said: "I don't know that the mother has arrived, the minister has missed the distance, it is really rude, I hope that the mother will atone for her sins." ”
Yang Xianrong sighed, pulled up his father, and said, "Why does father need to be like this? ”
Yang Xuanzhi nodded and said: "It should be so, Niangniang is now a member of the heavenly family, and we are Niangniang's people, so we must not be rude." ”
Not far away, Sun, Yang Fu, and Yang Ting also rushed over, and the three of them were about to kneel down, but they were pulled up by Yang Xianrong in turn, she really couldn't stand to receive such a big gift at home, after all, they were her parents and brothers. Sun Shi lost a little weight and looked a little tired, while Yang Fu and Yang Ting both had red eyes and looked like they hadn't rested for a long time.
"These days I am preparing to return to my hometown," Yang Fu said, "It is really rare to see people, and I ask my mother to forgive me." ”
"Why does my brother talk like that?" Yang Xianrong said dissatisfiedly: "What about my brother, will my sister still dislike it?" After that, she pointed to Sima Xuanhua beside her and introduced to everyone: "This is the third princess." ”
One sentence caused a burst of kneeling, Sima Xuanhua hurriedly helped everyone up, and was polite for a while, and the ceremony was finally over.
Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua arrived at the mourning hall first, and everyone inside was still preparing for leaving Beijing tomorrow, and when they saw Yang Xianrong coming, they all stopped what they were doing and knelt on the side respectfully. Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua grabbed a handful of incense and offered it to Lin, and prayed for Lin's blessing in their hearts. Qiandu Chinese Network
Ah Qi came out from the side, walked in front of Yang Xianrong, raised his little face and asked, "Auntie, how is the princess sister?" Did you bring her back? ”
Yang Xianrong silently said with a small face: "Auntie, it's inconvenient to take her out, okay another day?" ”
Aqi pouted and said, "But I'm going to leave Beijing with my father tomorrow, and it won't be a long time before I come back." ”
Yang Xianrong looked at Yang Xianrong in surprise: "Brother wants to take Aqi to Mount Tai with him?" ”
"He should see off his mother, and his mother is mourning, he should have kept filial piety for a year, rather than keeping filial piety in the capital, it is better to go back to Mount Tai with me, he is the eldest grandson of the sheep family, and he should also go back to meet the clansmen." Yang Fu said.
"Big brother, it's not like you'd say it." Yangfu never valued fame and fortune, status, let alone the status of the eldest son and grandson, and had no feelings for those clansmen in Mount Tai, and even because he wanted to marry the daughter of a merchant, those clansmen had strongly opposed it, which made him even more unfavorable to these people.
"Huh," Yang Fu smiled reluctantly: "In my life, why let him suffer the criticism he has suffered, not to mention, your sister-in-law also hopes that Ah Qi will be a promising person in the future, I am not teaching him according to the world, but there are some worlds that he can't avoid, and he is sharp, and it is also an attitude to deal with things." ”
"What about Adi?" Yang Xianrong asked again: "Brother, don't forget, Adi is also your daughter." ”
Yang Fu lowered his head: "Your sister-in-law died because of Adi." ”
"Brother......" Yang Xianrong wanted to persuade, Yang attached to such an idea is really unfair to this child, how can she want her mother to die because of herself, if one day she grows up, how can she accept such a cruel truth?
Yang Fu stopped Yang Xianrong's persuasion and said: "I won't hate this daughter, I mean that your sister-in-law died because of this child, how can I be disgusted with this child she saved with her life, but at present, I really can't face her, she looks very similar to your sister-in-law, I see her heartache, this go to Taishan, it is a chance to give me a chance to escape, and I will come back after a year, or the father of this child." ”
Yang Xianrong relieved her heart, she glanced at Su Chen, and said: "Look at what else needs to be done, let Su Chen help you, she is a girl's family, after all, be careful, if you have any omissions, she can help you, especially the things you want to bring closely." ”
Yang Fu nodded and led Su Chen to the house. Yang Xianrong turned back to Yu Zhuo and said, "Yu Zhuo, you take your master to walk around this mansion." She looked at Sima Xuanhua again and said, "I'll go and talk to my mother for a few words, after all, this is where I grew up, you go shopping first, and I'll ask someone to accompany you." ”
Sima Xuanhua and Yuzhuo followed one of Yangfu's subordinates and left.
Yang Xianrong followed Sun back to the bedroom, first looked at the sleeping little Adi, and then said with a smile: "After Nian'er returned to the palace, she kept chanting Adi, and kept shouting 'sister, sister.'" ’”
"When it's about the same, you can give Nian'er a younger brother and sister." Sun said with a smile: "Children like to play with children after all, don't you know, when Nian'er was in Yangfu, she was close to Aqi." ”
"Besides, it's not up to me to do this kind of thing." Yang Xianrong smiled and grabbed her mother's arm, and said, "Mother is tired these days, I heard Su Chen say, you are really hard to take care of three children alone." ”
"No, it's all my grandson, and there's a nurse." Sun grabbed Yang Xianrong's hand and asked, "What are you leaving the palace for today?" If it's to see off your sister-in-law, won't you even bring the princess here? ”
"I'm in a good mood, come out for a walk," Yang Xianrong said: "Xuanhua has always lived in the palace, never came out, she is a princess of a country, so she should also understand some people's lives, so I took her out, and I don't eat at home, I will take her out for a walk later." ”
"Shopping?" Sun was taken aback: "You want to go out?" She craned her neck to look out, and said, "You don't have any guards, do you?" ”
Yang Xianrong winked at his mother: "Isn't it enough to have a second brother?" ”
