Chapter 3: The Feast
On the way back, Nanqiang and Nan Zhi sat in the carriage, not daring to look up at Nan Zhao, who had a gloomy face.
Nan Qiang saw that he was about to arrive at the palace, Nan Qiang sat next to Nan Zhao, snuggled up to Nan Zhao's side, and said in a soft voice:
"Sister, today's thing is, it's Qiang'er's mistake, can Sister not tell the mother."
Nan Qiang gave Nan Weaving a look, Nan Zhi was just about to speak, Nan Zhao glanced at Nan Qiang:
"It's just a matter of provoking right and wrong on weekdays, what day is today, what kind of character is the county lord of Mianyin, you don't hide, and you smashed her birthday banquet."
Nan Qiang climbed to Nan Zhao's arm with a pair of small hands: "Sister, she was the one who said Zhi'er first!" My dignified daughter of the Nan family, how can I let her be humiliated at will! If it weren't for her identity as the county lord, I would tear her mouth today. Nanqiang said angrily.
"Since you have this backbone, what do you ask me to do?" Nan Zhao sat up straight, his face was originally cold and glamorous, and he was not smiling, but now he was a little angry, which made people even more cold.
"Sister, I was wrong, I'm not afraid of the mother's punishment, I'm afraid that the mother's concubine will be angry."
Nan Zhi hurriedly said softly: "Today, the second sister is also for me. ”
Nan Zhao's eyelids closed, and he said quietly: "This matter is so big, even if I deliberately hide it for you, I'm afraid I can't do anything." ”
Nanqiang choked, drooped his head, and when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he still entered the mansion under the gaze of Nan Zhao.
Song Qingluan, the princess of Nanhuai, had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and as soon as Nanqiang entered the hall, her steps became trembling.
With every step, the strings in Nanqiang's heart tightened. Seeing that Princess Nanhuai was sitting on the sandalwood carved chair with a solemn face, her eyebrows could not hide her angry look, Nan Qiang shrank behind Nan Zhao.
Song Qingluan contracted a wind disease a few days ago, and the headache recurred, and when he saw Nanqiang, he was angry, and his head throbbed again.
Nan Zhao glanced at Nan Qiang and stepped forward to care: "Is A-Niang having another head disease?" ”
Song Qingluan raised his hand, waved it gently, and looked at Nanqiang and Nan Weaving with a pair of beautiful eyes: "Kneel!" ”
Nanqiang seemed to steal candy to eat when he was a child and was caught red-handed, his heart was so weak that he was terrified, he lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, and a thin layer of sweat appeared in his palms.
"A-Niang, it's really that Mianyin County Lord is too deceitful. The second sister came out for me, not deliberately disturbing the birthday banquet of the Xin family, the county lord of Mianyin. ”
Nanori's voice was soft, and there was a little guilt on her face.
Song Qingluan heard this: "Zhi'er, you don't have to defend her. Zhao'er, go and ask the family law to come! ”
Nan Zhao raised his eyelids: "Mother, it's too much to use family law." ”
Song Qingluan was furious: "Hurry up and ask for family law!" What's the matter, your mother's words aren't good now?! ”
After Song Qingluan finished speaking, he rubbed his temples with a jade hand, his face was painful.
Shunci on the side hurriedly rubbed it for Song Qingluan: "County Lord, the princess has a head disease, and Lang Zhong told her not to move. It's better to go and ask for family law, and don't be angry with the princess anymore. ”
Nan Zhao's face turned pale, and he turned his head to look at the two people kneeling: "Can't you hear the princess's orders?!" Why don't you go and ask the family law to come! ”
When Nanqiang heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and pulled Nan Weaving to run.
Nan Zhi looked at Song Qingluan in the hall and was reluctant to get up, Nan Qiang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "You wooden head, A-Niang won't be angry if you can't see us!" ”
Nan Zhi knelt as steady as a rock, unmoved, and when Nan Qiang saw that Shunci beside Song Qingluan was about to come down, he hurriedly lifted his skirt and left.
Seeing this, Song Qingluan's heart fluctuated violently, and he pointed to Nanqiang's figure that slipped away: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" Don't stop her yet! ”
Nan Zhao soothed: "Mother, today's incident is not all Qiang'er's fault. ”
Song Qingluan couldn't care about the headache: "Today, your father came back from the barracks!" ”
When Nan Zhao heard this, he knew that it was not good, and Nan Zhi saw Nan Zhao's expression, hurriedly got up, lifted his skirt and went out.
As soon as he went out, he heard Nan Mingchong chasing Nanqiang, with a look of wanting to eat Nanqiang alive and teach him a good lesson.
In the entire Nanhuai, what Nanqiang is most afraid of is Nan Ming Chong and Nan Zhao.
Nan Zhao will protect her in the end, Nan Mingchong is different, every time he makes a mistake, he beats her up and locks her up in the family ancestral hall.
Song Qingluan heard this voice and had a splitting headache: "Why don't you go and invite your grandmother soon." If your grandmother doesn't come, what Qiang'er has committed this month, your father will have to beat her to death! ”
"The princess is angry, the fourth lady is clever, and now that she is gone, she should go to the princess."
Nan Zhao was discharged from the hospital, and Nan Qiang hid behind Nan Zhao.
Nanming Chong is nearly sixty years old, although it is the year of the sixtieth year, he has been in the army for many years and is in good health.
Three bowls of rice a day, wine and meat are eaten, and the heroic posture of riding a horse and wielding a knife is not diminished.
"Father, I was wrong! Sister save me, save me! ”
Nan Qiang shrank behind Nan Zhao, his head drooping. The hair was a little messy, and the long whip hanging from his waist had fallen into the hands of King Nanhuai.
Song Qingluan rushed over when he heard this: "Prince, the concubine has already gone to ask for family law, the prince is tired all the way, this matter is still handed over to the concubine to deal with, and the prince has a good rest." ”
Nan Mingchong looked at Song Qingluan and said coldly: "It's not that you indulge her on weekdays and are used to doing nonsense all day long!" This is another street trouble, and another big trouble at the Xinfu wedding banquet, and the face of my Nanhuai Wangfu has made her lose everything! ”
Song Qingluan sighed: "How can the prince say that the concubine is at fault." The prince only knows that Qiang'er did this, so why did Qiang'er do it? ”
Nan Mingchong threw away the long whip and said angrily: "No matter what the cause is, this king will also clear the door today!" ”
Nanqiang was already trembling to the point that his legs were weak, and Song Qingluan pretended to be dizzy, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Nan Mingchong ordered: "Send the princess back to the room to rest!" Escort the third lady to the front hall, and the family law will serve! ”
Nan Zhao protected Nan Qiang: "Dad! ”
Nan Mingchong looked at Nan Zhao: "You dare to be disobedient?!" ”
Nan Zhao lowered his head: "My daughter doesn't dare." ”
"Don't do it yet! Pull the county lord away! ”
When Nanqiang was pulled away, an old voice that had gone through vicissitudes suddenly sounded: "Stop!" ”
When Nanqiang heard this, he almost cried, and when he saw Princess Changning walking briskly with a cane, Nanqiang hurriedly hid behind Princess Changning.
Nan Mingchong bent slightly: "Mother." ”
Princess Changning snorted coldly: "If you don't return home for a few months, you will be beaten and killed as soon as you come back, how can you be a father like this in the world!" ”
Nan Mingchong glanced at Nan Qiang: "Mother, she is really too stubborn, and the reputation of the third lady of Nanhuai Wangfu is going to spread throughout Nanhuai." How can a son, as a father, not be taught? ”
Princess Changning turned her head sideways and looked at Nanqiang: "What did you do wrong today?" ”
Nanqiang pursed his lips and looked aggrieved: "Today, my third sister and I went to Xinfu to congratulate the county lord of Mianyin on his birthday on the orders of my mother's concubine." Originally, it was a good manner, but the county lord of Mianyin humiliated the third sister with a wild girl of unknown origin, and used the ridicule of our Nanhuai Wangfu as a face, so I was angry for a while, thinking about teaching the county lord of Mianyin a lesson......"
Nan Qiang's voice became smaller and quieter as he spoke, and finally raised his eyes to peek at Nan Ming Chong's iron-green face.
Nan Zhao said on the side: "Zhao'er is in front of the Xin Mansion, and I did hear that the county lord of Mianyin said this. Today's banquet in Xinfu, everyone also knows the ins and outs. ”
"Then you should disrupt the birthday banquet of the county lord of Mianyin, so that the Xin family can't come to the stage?" Nan Mingchong scolded.
Nanqiang didn't know where the anger came from: "Father! It was clearly her humiliating Zhi'er first! What kind of person is the county lord of Mianyin, everyone in Nanhuai knows! Today, I disrupted her birthday banquet, and I don't know how many people clapped their hands behind their backs! ”
"You wicked! Dare to refute it! ”
