Since Chu Gaozu Xiang Yu established a thousand years of meritorious deeds, there have been more than 300 years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe change of the throne in three hundred years, although there are twists and turns, can be regarded as the peace of the country and the people. Today, the forces of the DPRK and China can be mainly divided into four parts: one is the queen mother's maiden family, the uncle Yang family; the second is the Li family, the head of the family; the third is the mother's family of the current queen, the general Lin family; The fourth is the power of the eunuch party.
The forces of the four parties are intertwined, and the relationship between them is difficult to see from the outside.
If you remove the remaining three, just talk about the Li family. Since the ancestor of the Li family, Li An, began to serve as prime minister, four generations have been replaced in succession, and three of them are in the position of the three most powerful princes in the imperial court, which can be said to be famous. But all the people who think they are famous families are headed by him, and the same is true of the Ming family where Ming Xiang is located.
As he walked, he silently pondered the information he got from Ming Xiang. He didn't care that he was still wearing a wedding dress and swaggered through the market, and he didn't forget to buy some vegetables, rice and noodles by the way.
After a leisurely turn for a long time, he was satisfied and took Ming Xiang back to a lock of houses in the suburbs.
The location of the house is a little remote, so the area of the house is relatively large. It's a pity that under the backdrop of the lonely three houses, the whole house looks empty and desolate. Fortunately, there are some common vegetables scattered in the yard, and they seem to be popular.
"Aunt Kong, we're back." He also pushed open the fence door, put the vegetables he bought in the kitchen, and went into the house to change into coarse cloth clothes. He carefully folded the dark wedding dress, put it in the package, turned around and took out a white strip of cloth from the closet and tied it to his arm.
Mingxiang's movements were a little slower, and he took over Aunt Kong's work from the kitchen and walked out after changing his clothes when he brought out the meal.
"Xiang'er, my aunt is no better than your Ming family here, if there is something inconsiderate, you can take care of it." Aunt Kong saw Ming Xiang walk out, her movements suddenly became cramped, and she didn't know where to put her hands. She wanted to pull Ming Xiang to sit down to eat, but she stretched out her hand and hesitated.
He smiled indifferently, reached out to hold Ming Xiang's hand and pulled her to sit on the chair.
"Yi Gongzi, please respect yourself." Ming Xiang sat down obediently, and glanced at him with a shy glance at the hand that held his arm.
"Yo, just now I was shy about calling the lord, this will become a son, it's really stingy." also 'tsk' and touched her smooth and tender arm.
Ming Xiang's face burned all at once.
Yijiang smiled, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the dishes for Aunt Kong and Mingxiang, and then ate them by himself.
Ming Xiang hesitated when he looked at the food, but after looking at Yijiang and Aunt Kong, he still picked up the chopsticks.
"Yi Gongzi ......," her gaze glanced at a few cowering figures not far away.
"That's what men should worry about." He smiled unconcernedly. "I'll eat and drink enough first, and then I'll have the energy to have fun with my son after a while."
Aunt Kong put down her rice bowl after eating a few bites, and sat there looking at the couple. Her eyes looked at the strip of white cloth on her arm, and tears glistened in the corners of her eyes.
"Aunt Kong, just leave Lian'er's affairs to me." You'll know what's going on in her mind. "If it weren't for you and Miss Kong Lian to rescue me, bring the strange me home, and pay Lang Zhong to help me heal my injuries, I'm afraid that this person would be gone by now."
mentioned Kong Lian, and sadness also crossed Yijiang's eyes.
The man in Aunt Kong's family died early, leaving only her and her daughter to rely on each other. But Kong Lian, who grew up in such a family, is gentle and kind, hardworking and willing to work. The mother and daughter wrapped up the land and did some embroidery work every day, and they lived quite comfortably. Kong Lian has a kind temperament, and she has already been engaged to Brother Zhang next door, and she is waiting for March a year later to be a gift.
Yang Jing went to the street one day and happened to see Kong Lian who was selling embroidery. Because Kong Lian was three points similar to the eyebrows and eyes of Ming Xiang that he had been thinking about for a long time, he quietly took people away. Kong Lian refused to give in, and a white silk was hanged in the backyard of the Yang family, but Yang Jing thought she was unlucky, and threw her into the mass grave with a straw mat.
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang had recovered his body and was about to resign, and saw Aunt Kong, who was anxious because her daughter had not returned for two days, so she inquired, I am afraid that the truth of the matter would be accompanied by Kong Lian's disappearance and would not be traced.
"My Lian'er......" Aunt Kong shed two lines of tears, and she hurriedly turned around to wipe them away. Xiang'er is an official lady, I'm afraid I can't get used to eating these meals, right? Auntie, I'll go to the backyard and slaughter a chicken for you to eat. ”
"Aunt Kong, I'm ......" Ming Xiang just wanted to speak, but was stopped by General Yi. Aunt Kong's craftsmanship is very good, it's a pity not to taste it. ”
Aunt Kong is already grief-stricken, instead of comforting or accompanying her to let her see things and think about people, it is better to let Aunt Kong find something to do and be quiet by herself. After all, the dead are gone, but the days of the living are still gone.
Aunt Kong turned around and went to the backyard, stretched her waist, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to scrub.
Ming Xiang followed him to the door of the kitchen, and saw him doing his work skillfully, feeling that this person made her more and more confused. "Yi Gongzi, although you say that you are just a country man, but Xiang'er sees that you don't speak and act like ordinary people, I'm afraid you are also a person who is either rich or noble, right?"
"Oh?" He had already focused on the bowl in his hand and asked casually. "Who does Miss Ming think I am?"
"Xiang'er doesn't know."
will also smile lightly and analyze it for her. "You see that I am not a foreigner, and I can't jump out of this Great Chu Dynasty left and right. Since no one in the capital has recognized me, it must not be an identity worth talking about, so what does Miss Ming expect? ”
"Yi Gongzi...... If Xiang'er ......"
"Miss Ming." Before Ming Xiang's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Yijiang's words. He lowered his eyes slightly. "For the kid, the most important thing now is to deal with the affairs of Miss Ming and Kong Lian."
"Childe can keep it in mind, Xiang'er is already grateful." Ming Xiang was silent for a long time.
She wanted to help, but she found that she couldn't do the rough work, so she took a rag and wiped the washed dishes, then looked at it, and simply wiped the kitchen stove with it.
The two of them stood and sat together, and even the room was filled with the smell of silence.
"I can't see that the second lady of the Ming family is also a good hand at housework." It was also rare for him to show a bright smile without scheming, and Ming Xiang was stunned when he saw it.
"What's wrong?" Yijiang also found that Ming Xiang seemed to be stunned, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of her eyes.
Mingxiang even turned red with his ears this time, and he almost didn't catch the plate in his hand. She hurriedly put down what she was holding and turned to calm down.
"Although Xiang'er is the daughter of the Ming Mansion, she was sent to Yingchuan when she was a child and studied under Mr. Sima. Mr. is a hermit master and does not like mundane utilitarianism, so there are many things that Xiang'er personally does. "It's too late, why is this guy with a black belly laughing so handsomely.
"Cooking must not be included in many of these things." will also silently mend the knife.
Ming Xiang couldn't even raise his head. "Xiang'er...... Not good at cooking. ”
"What is Miss Naming good at?" I will suddenly be a little curious. Although Da Chu does not prohibit female studies, there is no position for female officials, so there are not many people who are willing to send their daughters to study, and they don't know what Mingxiang's master taught her.
"Poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all know a little." Ming Xiang secretly glanced at Yijiang.
So when you were studying in Yingchuan, was the family work still done by the master? It will also be a lot of fun. "Your master is really hard. Where is this disciple, isn't this helping others raise their daughters? ”
Ming Xiang had no place to put his hands and feet, so he lowered his head and put down his things and wanted to go out of the house, but he was also pulled by Yijiang.
"Yi Gongzi ......" Ming Xiang thought, it seemed that she and Yi Jiang met in such an afternoon. At that time, I don't know why I was attracted to this uninhibited teenager, and then accepted the three promises he made.
He also cleaned up his things, then picked up things such as axes and ropes from the kitchen and handed them to Ming Xiang. "Don't go, don't go, I'll arrest someone to do the right thing when you leave."
"Business?" The lake of spring water that was fluctuating in Ming Xiang's heart was immediately pressed down by the axe and rope in his hand. She saw that Yijiang was looking around at something, and then grabbed a piece of carbon and measured it.
"I'll have to prepare a big gift to entertain tonight's guests." The lips will also be hooked.
