Text Chapter 34: The first playmate Nangong pardon
The General's Mansion is located in the north of Fengdu City, and King Kang's Mansion is only two streets, all of which are built against the Xianyue Mountain. Two stone lions stand on both sides outside the General's Mansion, two people are high, the three gilded characters of 'General's Mansion' are hung above the door of the Mansion, the two pages of mahogany doors are inlaid with a huge bronze lion head statue, and an iron ring is hung at the corner of the mouth on both sides, the overall look is very majestic, and there is an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Master Hou is back", Steward Huo of the General Hou Mansion hurriedly opened the door of the mansion for Nangong Yuan and welcomed him in.
"The two ladies and the prince can be"? Nangong Yuan asked coldly.
"Here", Steward Huo didn't know what Nangong Yuan meant, but replied bluntly.
"Hmm", Nangong Yuan stopped, squinted and thought for a moment: "Go to Mrs. Wei first."
Steward Huo sent someone to inform Mrs. Wei first, and he accompanied Nangong Yuan back to the study first, changed into court clothes and went to Mrs. Wei's Rose Garden.
The roses in the courtyard of the Rose Garden are of different kinds, and they are all blooming at this time, and you can smell the fragrance from afar. After listening to the message from Steward Huo, Wei Fu called someone to find the two children back, and prepared some refreshments and waited.
"Father, hug", Nangong Yuan heard the immature voice of Nangong Bo, the eldest son, as soon as he entered the Rose Garden. Nangong Yuan scooped up Nangong Bo and raised it over his shoulder, making Nangong Bo shout happily.
"Alright, alright, Bo'er, come down quickly", a graceful and luxurious woman came out with a child of no more than two years old in her arms, slightly fat, with a handsome face, and a closer look at it is also a beauty, but there is shrewdness between her eyebrows and eyes.
Nangong Yuan put down Nangong Bo, looked at the child in Mrs. Wei's arms, and said with a serious face: "Yu'er, come down, I always like to nest in my mother's arms like a boy."
As if she hadn't heard it, Nangong Yuquan in Mrs. Wei's arms continued to lie on the woman's shoulder, closed a pair of black and blazing eyes, and didn't make a sound.
"General, Yu'er is a little unwell, just in time for a stomach upset", Mrs. Wei said, caressing the back of Nangong Yu's head.
"Well, you can't get used to it, you have to be as lively and active as Bo'er", Nangong Yuan said and touched Nangong Bo's head who was holding his thigh on his side.
"Yu'er is quieter, and besides, Yu'er is still young, Bo'er is five years old", Mrs. Wei patted Nangong Yu's back again, and then handed him over to the maid on the side to hold.
"General, I'm tired, I prepared your favorite bamboo leaf Qin", Mrs. Wei said while pulling Nangong Yuan into the inner room of the Rose Garden and sat down, poured a cup herself, handed it to Nangong Yuan, saw him take a sip and put it down, looked at the two children thoughtfully, and then drank again.
"General, but what's the matter"? Mrs. Wei added tea to Nangong Yuan's teacup and handed over a mung bean cake.
"Well, you still understand me", Nangong Yuan looked at Mrs. Wei and smiled: "I really want to discuss something with Mrs. Wei."
"General, you can tell me about it", Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Okay...", Nangong Yuan straightened his thoughts and said, "Madame, did you ever want Bo'er or Yu'er to be the princess's companion"?
Mrs. Wei was a little surprised when she heard this, and after a while, she regained her calm, looked at Nangong Yuan and said: "General, Bo'er is like you, you must be strong everywhere, and there is a gap in age with the princesses, Yu'er, you are still too young...", Mrs. Wei paused at this point, looked at Nangong Yuan's face, and expected that Nangong Yuan had already weighed it in her heart, and continued: "If Yu'er goes, which princess is it good to accompany"?
Nangong never thought that Mrs. Wei was so smart, so she looked at Mrs. Wei with some appreciation and said, "What does Mrs. think?"
"Princess Ziyue, that's what the general thinks", as soon as Mrs. Wei's words came out, Nangong Yuan's face was surprised.
"How does Madame know"?
"The relationship between the general and His Royal Highness King Kang, whether Princess Ziyue will be the future princess or not, the general plans to join this in-law."
"Madam...", Nangong Yuan never expected that Mrs. Wei had seen it clearly, and suddenly fell in love with her even more, and took her into her arms with a big hand: "Madam, in a few days, when Yu'er is better, let's go to the Dasiming Palace to see Princess Ziyue."
"Okay," Mrs. Wei replied in Nangong Yuan's arms.
Nangong had dinner in the Rose Garden, and played with the two little princes for a while, and then rested in the Rose Garden.
The next day, Nangong went to Mrs. Hong's Liuxiang Pavilion, played with the little prince Nangong Xun for a while, and then said to Mrs. Hong: "Princesses need to read together, what do you think"?
"Master Hou, are you going to let Xun'er go to the princess to read with you?" Mrs. Hong is dressed in a red gauze skirt, her eyebrows and eyes are charming, and her figure is enchanting, but in fact, she is not such a delicate woman who looks at her face, and she is also a person who can fight Nangong Yuan in terms of martial arts.
"What do you mean"? Nangong Yuan did not answer the rhetorical question.
"We don't have to go to the princess as a companion for a family of Xun'er, and Xun'er is still young, this is less than three years old, let's talk about it when I'm older", Madame Hong replied a little playfully, she didn't care about the royal magnates in her bones, first, she was so temperamental with her, and secondly, she was the Red Feather clan of the Heavenly Wolf Country, never divided the reason, only whether she liked it or not.
Nangong Yuan just likes Madame Hong's willful and free nature, so he has to take Madame Red in the face of the danger of being stripped of his title, and Madame Hong is attracted by his sense of responsibility and indomitable fortitude.
Nangong Yuan heard what Mrs. Hong said, and smiled happily: "You... Dare to say anything".
"Hehe, isn't this what you asked me, besides, if you really say something wrong, Master Hou will carry it for me", Madam Hong said in a flirtatious tone, putting one hand around Nangong Yuan's neck, looking seductive.
"Hmm...", Nangong Yuan grabbed Madame Hong's scratching hand and said seriously: "Then in a few days, you can go to the Great Si Ming Palace with me to have a look."
"Wow", Madame Hong took advantage of Nangong Yuan's inattention, broke free of her hand, and wrapped her neck around him, her eyes were full of affection, Nangong Yuan saw this, changed her hand and hugged her, and walked towards the inner room.
A few days later, the weather was clear, Nangong Yuan took the two ladies and the three little sons out early in the morning, one came to the Great Si Ming Palace to see Princess Ziyue, and the other came to the Temple of the Past to meet Master Wuliang.
Da Si Ming Palace, after receiving a message from Nangong, he asked Fan Zhangshi to wait outside the palace gate early.
"Father, what kind of bird is this", Nangong Bo was the first to jump out of the carriage, and he was fascinated by the two lifelike stone carvings outside the gate of the Great Si Ming Palace, and pulled Nangong Yuan to ask.
"This is Luanniao, a divine beast, heroic and tenacious", Nangong Yuan explained seriously, not forgetting to touch Nangong Bo's head to express his approval.
"General Hou, please", Fan Zhangshi made a gesture of please. took a group of people into the Great Si Ming Palace, and led them all the way to Shang Zhutai.
Nangong Bo was curious, looking at the Dasi Ming Palace, which was a novelty, sometimes running for a while and sometimes stopping and stopping, as if asking and saying to himself: "It's so big here, it's much bigger than our general's mansion", when passing by the Tibetan scripture building, he pulled Nangong Yuan, and he had to go in to take a look, and was scolded by Nangong Yuan, so he restrained a little, and followed the rules and regulations.
When the group arrived at Shangzhutai, they came out to greet him, and arched his hand towards Nangong Yuan: "General Nangong, there is a loss of welcome."
"It's okay...", he said that he left to the main hall of Shang Zhutai, a rectangular carved soft seat of golden silk nanmu on the right position, backed by a relief drawing of a green pine welcoming fairyland, four Taishi chairs on each side below, there is a rosewood coffee table between the chairs, a total of eight high platforms around the corner, and various bonsai are placed on it, which looks simple and elegant.
After the two ladies sat down on the same side, he sat down on the side of the soft chair on the side of Nangong Yuan.
"General Nangong, please use tea, and if you don't greet well, please Haihan", said politely.
"The high priest doesn't have to be polite", Nangong Yuan is not a hypocritical person, so he picked up the teacup and drank it all.
The two chatted briefly for a few more words, then got up and went towards Yinghuanyuan together.
Yinghuanyuan suddenly had more people, it was never more lively, Meng Niang came out with Yan Ziyue in her arms, Nangong Yuan and Yan Li left Yinghuanyuan and went to the small study after seeing Yan Ziyue, Nangong Bo was very curious about the colorful pebbles in the courtyard, Hongsu and Yunxu had to play with him, Nangong Xun couldn't help but get the permission of Mrs. Hong to join in, and the rest of the women and children were drinking tea and chatting under the big banyan tree.
Mrs. Wei saw that Meng Niang's speech and demeanor were generous and decent, neither humble nor arrogant, and she liked it quite much, so she asked her not to be formal, and sat down together.
"Princess Ziyue must be a beauty in the future", Madame Hong stared at Yan Ziyue's pink little face, eager to pinch it, two round black glass ball-like eyes reflected her own outline, a moment of illusion, the black eyes seemed to be dyed red, frightened Madame Red took a step back, there was nothing abnormal under a closer look, seeing that she was dressed in red, Madame Hong decided that it was because of the clothes on her body just now.
"Xiao Shizi is a quiet child", Meng Niang looked at Nangong Yu, who was standing quietly next to Mrs. Wei.
"Well, this kid has such a temperament, and he is much more literate than his two elder brothers", Mrs. Wei gently stroked Nangong Yu's little face.
Yan Ziyue had already looked at Nangong Yu several times in Meng Niang's arms, this guy had clear contours, delicate facial features, bright eyes, a straight nose, a little heroic and a little handsome, the whole face was perfect no matter from which angle, and it would be okay when he grew up.
Nangong Yu was a little unbearable by Yan Ziyue, staring at Yan Ziyue, but unexpectedly disintegrated by her innocent smile, she had to turn her head away and look at her brothers who were having a good time.
Since Yan Ziyue came to this other world, she endured the boring growth time, and finally found some fun, so she was willing to let it go easily, so she pushed Meng Niang, got off the ground and walked over to Nangong Yu, regardless of Nangong Yu's objections, took his hand, and shouted in a milky voice, "Brother, brother...", which made Nangong Yu not know what to do.
All this is not the case in the eyes of adults, and they believe that the two children like each other.
Meng Niang looked at Yan Ziyue and explained sideways: "Princess Ziyue usually doesn't have a playmate, if the two ladies have to take the little princesses to play."
Mrs. Wei looked at Nangong Yu and Yan Ziyue who were standing together, smiling gently, with joy and worry in her heart.
Nangong pardoned that he was acquainted with Yan Ziyue, so he didn't resist so much, and the two of them played around the big banyan tree. Although Nangong Amnesty was older, in terms of reaction speed and quick movements, he properly lost to Yan Ziyue, and stubbornly refused to admit defeat, so he had to be bullied by Yan Ziyue all the time, and he was so angry that he blushed.
