Chapter 20: The Nangong Family
Since Ouyang Shaoxuan promised Yang Xile to go to Nangong's house, Yang Xile couldn't wait to set off immediately.
However, her body has not fully recovered. Second, Ouyang Shaoxuan has not yet dealt with the affairs in Nanyang. In the end, she was worried that if she urged Ouyang Shaoxuan, he would go back on his word and not take her there.
To sum up, she can only wait for patience with peace of mind.
I want to go to Nangong's house, if nothing else, it is where her mother Nangong Fanghua grew up. Maybe she should get to know the Nangong family well, otherwise, wouldn't she be blind when she went.
"Little Red!" Xiaohong, who was cleaning, came over and saluted.
"Miss Yang, what do you command?"
Yang Lele smiled kindly, took the feather duster in Xiaohong's hand and put it on the table.
"Xiaohong, take a break and talk to me, okay?"
Xiaohong used to be beaten and scolded when she followed Nangong Xue. Now after following Yang Xile, life is good.
She was glad in her heart, fortunately, the real Nangong Xue didn't know where to go now. It's not enough to curse her, but it's better not to come back.
"Okay, Miss Yang, what do you want to say?" Xiaohong smiled, she really liked Yang Xile, the master who didn't have any shelves.
"Xiaohong, you've followed your young lady since you were a child, right?"
"Yes, Miss Yang, I followed Miss Nangong when I was eight years old, and I have been doing it ever since."
Very good, I have been following for a long time, I should be able to know a lot of things about the Nangong family.
Yang Xile must be clear about the general situation of the Nangong family and be prepared.
"Then do you know the sister of Prime Minister Nangong, and the news of Nangong Fanghua?"
Xiaohong was confused, "Miss Yang, I don't know much about it. When I went to Nangong Mansion, that..."Xu didn't know what to call it, Xiaohong thought for a while and continued: "The master's sister is said to have disappeared, and there is still no whereabouts. In these cases, I listened to the old lady in the house. ”
Yang Xile calculated the time, "Xiaohong, you have a good memory, is that the sister of Master Nangong missing for eighteen years and almost nineteen years?" ”
Xiaohong really counted her fingers seriously.
"Yes, Miss Yang. I remember that the old lady in the house said that when the master's own sister disappeared, there was no young lady in our family. Two years later, the old man got drunk and pampered his wife's maid, who was my young lady's biological mother, Mrs. Lan'er, and only then did I have my young lady. ”
Then she counted again as if she was afraid of miscalculation, "That's right, my young lady is 16 years old today, and she was born two years after the master's sister disappeared, so it is indeed eighteen years and almost nineteen years." ”
Yang Xile is eighteen years old, yes. In other words, Nangong Che's own sister is very consistent with her mother both in terms of name and when she disappeared.
But what Yang Xile didn't understand, when she was five years old, her mother left her and her father to jump into the lake where she appeared, why is there no news of her?
Was it because of some accident during her crossing, or did she not alarm the Nangong family after returning to the Qinglong Kingdom?
What made her wonder was whether her father, Yang Mingrui, had also successfully come to Qinglong? Is he with his mother? There is another thing she cares about very much, who is her biological father?
There are too many unsolved mysteries for her to explore, so a trip to Nangong's family is imperative.
Xiaohong actually felt very strange, Yang Xile seemed to be very interested in the Nangong family, especially the master's sister.
But what is the reason for this?
"Miss, how do you know? Eighteen years is indeed. ”
"Leave that alone." It's not easy to explain and doesn't like to lie, so I just don't mention it, "Can you tell me about the specific situation of the Nangong family?" The more detailed, the better. ”
Although Xiaohong was strange, she didn't ask much.
"Miss Yang, because my young lady is a concubine, and Mrs. Lan'er left early, she is very unfavored. Xiaohong grew up in another house with her young lady, and she didn't know a lot of things. ”
Yang Xile retreated and said: "Just tell me how many people there are in the Nangong family, who they are, what profession they do, marital status, etc.!" ”
......
In the conversation with Xiaohong, Yang Xile finally figured out the general situation of the Nangong family.
The head of the Nangong family is Nangong Che, who is an official in the court, and the official worships the prime minister, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person.
Mrs. Nangong is the daughter of the Zhao family, one of the three major families, named Zhao Yaru, and she is the first lady of the order.
Mrs. Nangong has two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter Nangong Yan, the second daughter Nangong Yu, and the youngest son Nangong Xuan.
The old lady of Nangong is Nangong Che's mother, and now she eats fasting and recites Buddha all the year round, regardless of the world, everything in the house is in charge of Zhao Yaru.
Nangong Che has two younger brothers, neither of whom are descendants, but also as officials in the court.
But they are not big officials, and they don't have real power.
Yang Xile digested this information, and sent Xiaohong out, she needs to think about it, how should she go in the future?
den
Ouyang Shaoxuan sat in front of the bookcase, and Sheng Yun stood respectfully aside.
"Childe, the secret guard came to report, Miss Yang asked Xiaohong a lot about the Nangong family, and it seems that she is particularly concerned about Nangong Che's sister Nangong Fanghua."
It's this woman again...
Actually, he had seen the woman.
It was when he was six years old and he saw Nangong Fanghua in the palace.
At that time, she lived in Fanghuayuan, and in just one month, she disappeared.
She remembered that during that time, her father rarely went to his mother's place, and her mother was very sad for a while, but she didn't know why her father didn't come to visit her, after all, her mother was the most favored by her father before.
He knew that the woman was also a very fortuitous chance!
That was nineteen years ago, and he was playing hide-and-seek with the palace people in a corner of the Imperial Garden. The place where he hid was relatively remote and no one found him.
While he was beaming with pride, he saw a familiar figure passing by the bushes where he was hiding, and did not notice him.
When he came out, he saw his father, the emperor, striding forward with only his personal prince. I wanted to call my father, but when he was young, he was playful and wanted to play "hide and seek" with his father, so he quietly followed.
After walking for a long time, he had no concept of time when he was young, he only felt that his legs were sore, and when he was about to give up, his father stopped and walked into a courtyard.
He also followed to the front of the courtyard, he had been learning from Mr. for a year at a young age, and he still knew the words above the courtyard, called Fanghuayuan.
It was almost dark, and he was a little scared, and he didn't know the way home, so he decided to go in and find his father. But just as he was about to go in, he heard a quarrel coming from inside, the voice of a woman and his father.
"You let me go, I really can't share you with so many women." Although the voice is very exciting, it is beautiful, and the owner of the voice must be very good-looking.
He has not forgotten his father's words to this day, he said: "Nangong Fanghua, no matter what the price, I will not let you leave me, you wait!" ”
After that, he heard the footsteps of his father, and when he was young, he probably understood that he couldn't let his father find him, so he became more and more.
But then he regretted it, because it was already dark, and he couldn't remember the way back, and his mother should be in a hurry.
He wandered at the gate of Fanghuayuan in fear, and when he didn't know what to do, two women came out of it.
One of them, dressed in white, was particularly beautiful, even more beautiful than her mother.
"Child, why are you here?" spoke a woman dressed in pink. This dress is familiar, and the palace maids in the palace wear it like this.
The young Ouyang Shaoxuan pointed to the pink-clothed palace maid and said, "You still don't salute when you see this prince?" ”
"The slave maid has seen the little prince," the pink-clothed palace maid saluted respectfully.
"You send this prince back to the Jade Palace."
The woman in white heard the three words of the Jade Palace, and finally looked at him.
She is really beautiful and has an extremely beautiful voice.
"Is it their child? What a whitewashed doll! ”
Ouyang Shaoxuan heard that this voice was the woman who had quarreled with her father before, and remembered that her name was Nangong Fanghua.
"I'm a man, don't talk to me like that."
She smiled, and Ouyang Shaoxuan felt that it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.
"Well, you go and send him to a crowded place and hand it over to the other palace people."
"Yes"
So he left there and never saw the woman again.
"Childe, Childe?" Sheng Yun saw that Gongzi didn't know what to think, so he had to wake him up from his contemplation.
"Deal with the case of Nanyang Mansion Yin as soon as possible, and in three days, we will set off back to Longcheng."
Sheng Yun took the order and left, Ouyang Shaoxuan suddenly looked forward to going to Nangong's house, maybe there would be gains he didn't expect.
