132. Gnaw on the bark of a tree and eat a war horse
When they returned to the courtyard, Nie Xiaofan and Nie Xiao'e shared a carriage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's been a long time since the two have sat so close together.
It seems that it started when he came back from Shangxiang, maybe it started when Nie Xiao'e started to take charge of the family, and the two gradually drifted apart. Nie Xiaofan actually couldn't remember clearly.
But by no means because of the death of Old Lady Nie.
Today is the day when Old Lady Nie enters the ground, but the people of the Nie family just make a sad appearance in front of the guests. And then everyone is still living their own lives. Nie Xiaofan even suspected that some people in the Nie family were happy because of the death of Old Lady Nie, at least the Lian family was definitely a... If Old Lady Nie doesn't die again, sooner or later she will be swept out of the house and snatched the dowry. It can be said that Old Lady Nie died too timely...
It can be seen that people still can't do too many evil things, otherwise even the crying spirits of children and grandchildren will be false, how ironic is this?
Nie Xiaofan's thoughts were wild. Nie Xiao'e was in a bad mood, and she wanted to talk to her several times, but she gave up because she was thinking about things.
Seeing that the carriage was about to arrive at the foot of Leshan, Nie Xiao'e finally couldn't bear it.
"Do you hate me?"
Nie Xiaofan suddenly heard such a sentence, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Her eyes were a little evasive, but she forced a smile and said, "What do I hate about you?"
Nie Xiao'e confirmed that she was running away at this time, she turned to look at Nie Xiaofan, and asked solemnly: "Grandfather's matter, do you hate me?"
Nie Xiaofan suddenly felt an inexhaustible sadness in his heart. She thought of Zhou Qiaoqiao.
The Zhou Qiaoqiao who didn't hesitate to die and wanted revenge.
She Nie Xiaofan has never experienced hatred, she doesn't understand.
"What do I hate you for? You always have your reasons for doing things. ”
You all have reasons, all kinds of reasons, all of which I don't understand.
What else can I say?
Nie Xiao'e saw Nie Lian and heard her shout those nonsense, and her heart was a little confused.
She lowered her head at this time and said, "Nie Lian asked me if I was happy, but I wasn't very happy..."
"Do you regret it?"
"I don't regret it, although I'm not happy now, but I've let go of this matter, and I won't dwell on my mother's death anymore. I can start a new life, right?"
Nie Xiao'e spoke quickly, she looked at Nie Xiaofan, wanting to find the answer from her.
But what answer can Nie Xiaofan give her?
Whether it's right or not, she doesn't know yet.
Nie Xiao'e has taken advantage of the right time and place, and she can start a new life.
But what about Zhou Qiaoqiao?
Where does she go from here?
Nie Xiaofan was also messed up.
Nie Xiao'e couldn't help but turn red when she saw that she didn't speak.
"Are you still blaming me for embroidering scriptures?" Nie Xiao'e's voice became a little hoarse.
Nie Xiaofan shook his head: "You taught me to embroider flowers for so long, how can I blame you? That's what you mean, isn't it?"
Nie Xiao'e couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and suddenly leaned on Nie Xiaofan's shoulder.
"Can you forgive my sister? I was getting ready to do it, and I was in a mess... Coincidentally, the mother-in-law of the Liu family came to give gifts and said a lot of ugly things, I... I was confused for a moment... Xiaofan, my sister is really confused for a while. ”
She didn't want Nie Xiaofan to suffer, it was... I just want to vent. To vent, Mrs. Liu said that her son-in-law was going to marry Nie Xiaofan, she was so angry that she lost her mind for a while, so she embroidered the scriptures. I want to make Nie Xiaofan suffer a little loss...
Why was she so confused?
She didn't feel the slightest guilt about Old Lady Nie's death, but she regretted such an unsuccessful plan day and night, so much so that she didn't dare to forgive herself.
Nie Xiaofan had actually put this matter aside a long time ago, and she didn't take such an unsuccessful calculation to heart. It's just that in my heart, I no longer trust Nie Xiao'e.
Thinking about it, Nie Xiao'e also regretted it because of this.
But at this time, she didn't want to restore her friendship with Nie Xiao'e.
She is about to travel far away, in case the two reconcile, Nie Xiao'e will definitely care about her body, and there will be an extra layer of risk when it comes to fashion.
"You sit down first, I'm about to fall apart..."Nie Xiaofan said with some ruthlessness.
Nie Xiao'e sat up straight like a spring, and her end was as loose. Apparently a little angry.
Nie Xiaofan pursed his lips and took a pillow to rest.
When the carriage was about to arrive in front of the courtyard, Nie Xiao'e looked at her again.
"Are you alright?" she asked with concern.
Nie Xiaofan is actually fine, but because she is going to pretend to be sick from today, she said: "I went up and down the mountain today." I'm tired from the funeral..."
Nie Xiao'e sighed and didn't speak for a long time.
Nie Xiaofan wasn't saying anything.
After a while, the carriage stopped. Liu Yu got down from the carriage behind and said, "Girl, we're home." ”
Nie Xiaofan was about to get out of the car, when Nie Xiao'e suddenly said, "I have something to tell you." ”
Although Nie Xiaofan was strange, he still stayed.
Nie Xiao'e pondered for a long time and said, "When my mother is here, she treats me very well. In my heart, I treat you and my brother as much as my sister. Do you believe it?"
Nie Xiaofan thought for a while, and got out of the car without saying anything.
Liu Yu stepped forward to support her, and several people returned to Wangyue Pavilion.
In fact, believe it or not, Nie Xiaofan can't say, if she does, Nie Xiao'e is bound to care about her very much. Instead, it's not good for her big plans.
Everything is as usual in the Moon Pavilion, Zhou Qiaoqiao couldn't go to practice martial arts a few days ago because of the Zhou family's guard patrol, today the Zhou family's guard withdrew, and she practiced sword in the bamboo forest for a day.
Nie Xiaofan saw her in the backyard, so she took the sword and came back. Little Red stood in a corner of the backyard and waited.
Nie Xiaofan said: "Old Madam Zhou suddenly returned to Beijing, but there is an urgent matter in the capital?
Zhou Qiaoqiao was a little tired, took the handkerchief handed by Xiaohong and wiped her sweat. "No need to ask. ”
Nie Xiaofan raised his eyebrows, so Zhou Qiaoqiao already knew?
She knew, but she wouldn't tell her. Isn't that a proper way of not sharing information?
"Chen Sisi's army is now supported by the people of the northwest, and Han Maodian proposed that the northwest be exempted from taxes for ten years..."
Decade?
If the northwest does not pay taxes for ten years, isn't it equivalent to the imperial court losing the northwest for ten years?
So how can the imperial court endure it?
"Of course, the imperial court can't bear it. Chen Si led elite troops to chase down the Western Xia thieves, but he was defeated and only had half a life left. He was thrown back into the army by King Pingxi. And yesterday, Chen Si's cronies broke through the siege and sent Chen Si's handwritten letter of guilt to the emperor.
"At this time, if the crime is not guilty, the emperor can't hold it accountable. However, the letter said that the army had been gnawing the bark of the tree for more than ten days in order not to disturb the people. Zhou Qiaoqiao and Nie Xiaofan walked back as they spoke.
Zhou Qiaoqiao continued to say expressionlessly: "It is said that the person who delivered the letter had the strength to escape after eating Chen Si's war horse for many years before he came. Even the military rations sent by the imperial court and the Chen family did not reach the army. At this time, there are more than 90,000 people left, and half of them have only half a life left... The situation is worrying. ”
