Chapter 220: Second Return to Jinling (4)
Xinyue stayed in An Xuanhou's Mansion for one night, and Min Hui and Min Cong came to see Xinyue after dinner.
Min Cong is very unfamiliar with Xinyue, but because of the blood and family, he became familiar with Xinyue after a while, he is seven years old this year, and he has already started to study in the Cao family, Xinyue asked him to write a few words to himself, and he also wrote well.
But Minhui seems to be deliberately estranged from Xinyue, Xinyue can't stop looking at Minhui, Minhui is just standing quietly beside her mother, how does Cao's let her get close to Xinyue, she is just standing, very stubborn.
Xinyue was not forced, but let people take away Min Cong, who was already sleepy, Cao saw that Xinyue had something to say to Minhui, so he found an excuse to leave first, and after a while, there were only two people left in the house.
Minhui was still standing on the side, her head bowed, and she looked very wooden.
Xinyue saw through her thoughts at a glance and asked, "You are in Cao Mansion, have you been wronged?" ”
Minhui didn't speak, just shook her head.
How could Xinyue not know that she was duplicitous, and immediately asked, "Is it your aunt who bullied you?" ”
"Uncle, treat me very well."
"That's the children of the Cao family?" Crescent Moon asked.
"No, it's not." Min Hui still wanted to deny it, but her eyes were already wandering, and Xinyue knew that it was these people who bullied Min Hui.
Crescent Moon asked, "Do your grandmother and aunt know?" ”
"My aunt saw me a few times, and although she managed it a few times, then they stopped bullying me in front of others." Saying that, Minhui felt that she was being hugged by Xinyue, so she cried, "Auntie, you told me that there is any suffering in your heart to hide in your heart, but Hui'er has really endured too much suffering in the past two years, and if she hides it again, she will be driven crazy." Auntie, you are finally back, Hui'er knows that as long as you are there, no one will bully our family. ”
Xinyue patted Minhui's back with some distress, and after a moment, after Minhui's mood stabilized, Xinyue said, "Hui'er, although you are looking for me, it is a very wise way to be angry for you." But the most aunt can't do it all in this life, she will be your spear and shield, you have to have a spear in your hand and a shield in your arms. Maybe no one will teach you, so this time my aunt will teach them for you, but next time, you can do it yourself. ”
After speaking, Xinyue let go of Minhui, the tears on Minhui's face hadn't dried yet, but she understood Xinyue's words, although she was a little embarrassed, she still nodded "yes"
"Minhui, don't cry, tears can't solve anything." Crescent Moon touched Minhui's face and wiped away her tears.
After Minhui left, it was already dark, and Xinyue sat on the bed a little tired, she took off her clothes and asked outside, "Is the bathwater ready?" ”
After no one answered, the new moon was not angry, but lay on the bed sideways, since no one was prepared, then I won't wash it today, it's very cold, this is the new moon and I really miss the hot springs of the other village.
Thinking about it, Xinyue only felt her eyelids sink and fell asleep.
At this time, Xinyue no longer dreams of Rong Zhao, she is just tired, so she can always sleep deeply, and those sweet dreams and nightmares are gone.
Early in the morning of the second day, the new moon asked people to prepare a carriage to go back to Bezhuang, and after resting for a few days, they would enter the palace and walk around.
As soon as she walked to the door, Xinyue frowned and asked the Yi steward who sent her, "Old Marquis Jiang, when will you be at the funeral?" ”
"It's today," Yi Guan remembered.
"Just in time, Uncle Yi, you go and deliver the post, and I'll pay my respects."
"Girl, the funeral is going to be at noon, is it too late to go now?" Easy to ask.
"It's never too late to go, let's go" After speaking, Uncle Yi went to deliver the post first.
Xinyue lowered her head, looked at the pale robe she was wearing, and then got into the carriage and went to Jiang's house.
Nearly three years have passed since the last time I went to Jiang's house, Xinyue felt a little rusty, straightened her hair, stepped out of the carriage, and before her feet landed, Xinyue saw Jiang Yang, who was wearing heavy filial piety and ran out in a hurry.
Jiang Yang saw the new moon and immediately greeted him, "New moon, new moon is really you..."
Xinyue looked at Jiang Yang holding her hand and smiled, but found that this was not the place to laugh, so she lowered her hand and bowed, "It's the little girl." ”
"You, you're back? I heard the prince say that you would come back, but I didn't expect you to really..."
"The little girl has been in the imperial tomb for two years, and the general has never come to see the little girl once." Xinyue saw the female dependant of the Jiang family who was coming out of the door, and raised her head and said.
"Yes, yes, it's you, you've been going to the imperial tomb for so long, and you've only come back." Jiang Yang also realized that there was someone behind the two, so he immediately changed his rhetoric.
Crescent Moon stepped out of the carriage and said, "I've seen the old lady, ma'am."
"Crescent, you're finally back." As she spoke, Old Madam Zhuang grabbed Xinyue's hand, her face was very pale, and the loss of Old Marquis Jiang was a very heavy blow to her.
"Yes, the crescent moon is back, old lady, take care of yourself." Saying that, Xinyue also took advantage of the situation to leave Jiang Yang's hand.
Chen looked at the new moon standing here, frowned, and then said to the new moon, "The life of the imperial tomb in the past few years has really hurt you. ”
"Nothing. Xinyue was supposed to come to the Hou Mansion to greet him as soon as possible after the old marquis, but Xinyue was seriously ill, and it was not until yesterday that she was about to get better, so she didn't come over until now, please don't blame the old lady and the lady. As she spoke, the new moon plucked herself.
"Where, it's good for you to come, come, come in, there is no spirit yet, so go in and worship one or two." Old Madam Zhuang took Xinyue's hand, and Xinyue was surrounded by several people and entered the back hall.
The new moon is the last person to come to worship, and after the new moon has lit the incense and kowtowed, the steward came in and said that the time was almost up, the people of the Jiang family cried, and the old lady Zhuang looked at the coffin on the side, and she cried so much that she couldn't pull it up.
Xinyue remembered the old marquis Jiang's past expression, and knew that he would die on the battlefield in order to defend Yanzhou and save himself, but it seemed that because of his own reasons, Yanzhou was lost, thinking of this, Xinyue felt that he was really shameless to face the old marquis Jiang, and after crying sadly, he left a message for Jiang Yang and turned to leave.
After returning to Bezhuang in the carriage, Xinyue felt that her mood suddenly relaxed, and looking at the door that was still the same as before, Xinyue's eyes that were already crying red shed tears again.
Mama Wang has been waiting in the door for a long time, but she can't wait left or right, and she is about to push the door out to find it, but the door is pushed open from the outside, and the new moon is slowly walking in.
The moment Mama Wang saw the new moon, she couldn't accept it for a while, so she sat on the ground, watched the new moon get up, and hugged the new moon, "Girl, my good girl, you are finally back." ”
Fei'er and Feng'er were also on the side, hugging the new moon in unison, and the master and servant cried bitterly.
After crying for a while, Xinyue was afraid that Mama Wang would hurt her body with joy and sorrow, so she restrained herself and said, "Mama, I haven't taken a bath for several days, and I'm also very hungry now, and I want to eat Mama's whitebait soup and stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots." ”
"You, you see that the old slave is so happy that you have forgotten it, girl, girl, come in, the slave and maid are ready. Fei'er, wait for the girl to take a bath, and the slave will immediately cook for you. ”
The new moon was finally able to enter the house, walking on the path, the new moon looked at the flowers and trees around her, and when she left, it was very different, the plum blossom tree, which was originally only taller than a person, was now as thick as an arm, and the trunk was as thick as an arm.
Walking back to her bedroom, there was no change here, exactly the same as when she left, Xinyue stood at the door for a while, and Feng'er helped Xinyue, "Girl, it is exactly the same as when the girl left, it hasn't changed at all." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." With that, Crescent Moon walked into the room.
Sure enough, this place is exactly the same as when Xinyue was there, the bed, the furnishings in the house, and the fish in the fish tank in the main room are still the red phoenix tails that Xinyue likes very much.
Walking to the bathroom at the back, Xinyue subconsciously looked at the back door, where Liang Wei came in at the beginning, and now the back door is closed, Xinyue felt a sense of loss in her heart, and felt very relieved, "Wait for me to bathe." ”
Taking off her clothes, the new moon bathed in the warm pool water, and she leaned down to untie the beads around the new moon's neck, but was pinned by the new moon, "No need to untie it, just wear it like this." ”
"Yes" Although Feng'er was curious, since Xinyue insisted, she didn't pick it again.
Fei'er is the new moon raccoon's hair, the new moon's hair is black and bright, but these three times of injury, the vitality is greatly injured, and gradually has a little yellowish appearance, Fei'er with mashed He Shou Wu, from beginning to end wiped over and over again, "The girl's hair is so carefully raised, and now it is like this, it is a pity." ”
Xinyue didn't like to smell the smell of He Shou Wu very much, and said, "It's best to be effective." The smell is so bad. ”
"Yes, I didn't like it the last thing a girl used to do with her hair. It was the lady who said it badly, and the girl persevered. Feng'er mentioned her aunt, but she felt the muscles on Xinyue's arm, obviously stiffened, and after a moment, Xinyue said, "In the future, there is no need to be in front of my aunt." ”
"Yes" Fei'er and Feng'er were a little surprised, but no one dared to ask Xinyue.
At this moment, Feng'er's eyes were sharp, and she watched the beads on Xinyue's neck slide down a little because of the water, revealing the scar on her neck, Xinyue looked at Feng'er who was crying because of surprise and distress and said, "Since you have seen it, then pick it for me." ”
As she spoke, she felt her whole hand tremble and take off the string of beads around Crescent Moon's neck.
Xinyue whispered what she had encountered in the past two years, and simply told Feng'er, Fei'er and Mama Wang, who came to hear the news.
After finishing speaking, Mama Wang reached out and touched the neck of the new moon, the wound that had already healed, and the tears were about to drain.
Xinyue was really distressed, and said to Mama Wang, "Mama, I'm fine, isn't this a good way to come back." And, Mama, when I come back this time, no one will bully me again, and if you want to take me away, you will take me away. You know, Mama, once I make up my mind, I'll do it. ”
Mama Wang picked up the silk handkerchief and gently cleaned the dust around the scar for the new moon, and then said, "Girl, the old slave knows that no matter what, the old slave will accompany you." ”
"Slaves too"
"Slaves too"
Feng'er and Fei'er said in unison, and Xinyue nodded, "If it weren't for you being by my side, I really don't know what to do in the future." ”
Returned to the familiar home, lying on the bed that she was used to sleeping, Xinyue couldn't sleep, she looked at the curtain that had just been changed, and it was still fragrant, and her thoughts flew far away, but her current body could not allow her to think too much, and after a while, Xinyue felt that she had a headache, and she had to rub her temples to get better.
The night was still long, and the crescent moon told herself that everything could come slowly.
After cultivating in Beizhuang for a few days, plus he showed his face at the funeral of the old marquis of Jiang, now the people in the entire Jinling know that Xinyue has returned from the "Imperial Tomb Guard".
Early that morning, as soon as the new moon got up, news came from the palace that His Majesty was going to summon her.
Xinyue originally planned to enter the palace to see His Majesty in the next few days, but he didn't expect His Majesty to take the initiative to call himself over, Xinyue in his original sideburns, after inserting two golden hairpins, wearing a half-worn gown, he got into the carriage to enter the palace, Feng'er followed behind Xinyue, has been sorting out her clothes, but this simple clothes, there is really nothing to tidy up, so Feng'er said with some worry, "Girl, there is a new robe mixed with gold silk in the slave's baggage, do you want to change it." ”
Xinyue looked around and felt that she was dressed very well, so she said to Feng'er, "Good Feng'er, I didn't choose a concubine when I entered the palace, but to complain, wearing clothes made of gold silk and a treasure hairpin, it is really out of place, you don't have to worry, I know it in my heart." ”
"Really?" Feng'er asked uneasily.
Crescent Moon nodded, "Yes, really." ”
Only then did she let go of her heart and stayed by Xinyue's side.
Xinyue stretched out her hand and straightened the beads around her neck, even if she said that she didn't care about the clothes on her body, but she still couldn't help but care about this scar, until the carriage stopped, Xinyue took a deep breath and said to Feng'er, "Let's go." ”
Naturally, this palace is still the same, after getting out of the carriage, Xinyue looked at the gloomy sky, and said to Feng'er, "Feng'er, it seems that the sky is about to change." ”
Feng'er nodded, "Yes, when I went out, Mama Wang also said that it was going to snow, and now it is the end of October, so it should be snowing." ”
"Yes," she said, and the new moon entered through the Changzhen Gate and headed for the Kun Palace, where His Majesty was.
After the queen fell ill, His Majesty almost never left the Kun Palace, even if he discussed major events in the court, he was only in the study of the Kun Palace, and he was almost inseparable from the queen.
Xinyue knows that His Majesty and the Queen are extremely affectionate, and the two have been married for so many years, and they are still like this.
