Chapter 30: Repeat the walk
"Mother... Let's take 10,000 steps back, even if it's the worst outcome, all the things you said have come true... , our family still has the last guarantee, don't we?" Zhou Shaoyang said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The last guarantee?
What is it?
Old Madam Zhou looked at her son...
"Xiao Fan, she... And that assassin did grow up together... and like sisters..."Zhou Shaoyang said hesitantly.
What does this mean?
"That is, back then... I don't know what the reason was, maybe it was inconvenience, maybe it was not wanting, Fu Shi did not take her daughter, but left her in a Zhuangzi in Changping, which happened to be ... Xiao Fan grew up with her in that Zhuangzi..."
"Ridiculous... Do you expect the entire Zhou family to use Xiao Fan to save themselves?" said Old Madam Zhou.
Zhou Shaoyang said: "It's not about using Xiaofan, but... This is the last guarantee... So Mother, your worries will never happen... Do you understand?"
This...
It seems like that's the truth...
Old Madam Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Even so, you can't take it lightly..."
Zhou Shaoyang nodded to be taught...
"Yes... It's the same for Xiaofan... Don't take it lightly...."Old Madam Zhou said again.
Zhou Shaoyang looked at his mother in surprise, but met Mrs. Zhou's determined gaze! "I received an invitation today... It's a girl from the Nie family, and I'm going to leave the cabinet in a few days, so I'll let Xiaofan go to the Nie family for a banquet. She said.
As for her, an old woman, it's better not to go.
"The boy understood. Mother can rest assured," he said.
Along with the news that Queen Nanxian was suspected of being a Fu family, there was another news from the palace banquet, and that was Xia Yue's marriage.
When Zhou Jiulang told Nie Xiaofan the news, she was learning to play the piano with Zhou Baozhu.
Nie Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said dryly: "I know... Sooner or later, there will be such a day. Sooner or later..."
Xia Yue once swore in front of her that she would marry Zhou Qiaoqiao. And now... Time has changed, what should have been done has not been done, but he is already going to take another beauty...
"I don't know what happened to Qiaoqiao..."After a long time, Nie Xiaofan said again.
When she heard the news, she still felt that a fire was staggering in her chest, and Zhou Qiaoqiao... What should it be sad about?
"She should... It's okay..."Zhou Jiulang said as he spoke, even his own disbelief.
Although he doesn't have much sympathy for Zhou Qiaoqiao now, this incident is undeniably a big blow to her.
"Or... Shall I help you go and see her?" Zhou Jiulang asked tentatively.
Nie Xiaofan shook his head, what Zhou Qiaoqiao wants to see now is probably not him.
Zhou Baozhu didn't know what they were talking about, but she could roughly guess that this was not good news, she didn't ask about it, but said, "I'll play the piano for you." ”
Nie Xiaofan nodded. Zhou Jiulang also sat quietly beside Nie Xiaofan.
Zhou Baozhu's jade-white fingers plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano came from under her hands, sometimes empty and distant, sometimes light and playful. It's fascinating, it's calming...
On the day Nie Xiao'e left the cabinet, Mrs. Zhou really allowed Nie Xiaofan to go out. But she didn't go herself.
"I'm getting old, so I don't want to join in the fun. You little couple go back and make fun for me..."Mrs. Zhou said.
Nie Xiaofan respectfully said goodbye to her old man, and went out with Zhou Jiulang.
Nie Xiaofan and his wife just left the Zhou Mansion, and the Chen family got the news. She was peeling the fruit with a knife, and when she heard this, she threw down the knife and the fruit, and said to Mrs. Wen Yuanhou: "See, take a look? I'll just say it's okay, you have to tell me it's okay! Look, aren't they all out?"
Mrs. Wen Yuanhou didn't take it to heart. She said, "What are you panicking about? The old lady cherishes face, even if she really does something wrong, it is impossible to stop her from sending her sister out of the cabinet, right?"
Chen pouted irritably: "It is precisely because of this, because of this kinship, I am afraid that as time goes by, something will become nothing." It's all you, what kind of idea came out that night, let me embarrass her... Well, now the entire third room was offended by me to death..."
On the day of Zhou Shaoyang's assassination, Mrs. Wen Yuanhou also came to Zhou's house for a banquet, and she didn't go home that day, so when she learned that Nie Xiaofan and his wife were pulled by Mrs. Zhou for questioning, she thought that maybe this matter was related to the ninth young lady. Only then did he pull forward the Chen family and slip away the people around Nie Xiaofan...
But I didn't expect that Nie Xiaofan was so unreasonable, and he didn't leave her sister-in-law with any affection...
"How can you blame me for this? Don't you also want the entire Zhou family to listen to your dispatch? Don't you also want to hold the third room in your hands? Besides... How could I have thought that you have no prestige in front of that Nizi, and she actually beat your people out directly..."Mrs. Wen Yuanhou said slowly.
Seeing that Chen's face was getting darker and darker, she still knew that it was enough to stop, and persuaded her with good words: "Okay... In the end, it's still that Nizi who doesn't like to talk, and she doesn't leave you any affection... Otherwise... Once someone was lifted away by you, who could make a face to you because of a few people? Or she's the most hateful!"
Mrs. Wen Yuanhou said that there is no problem with this strategy, it is said that Nie Xiaofan is not the weak and incompetent person who can be rubbed...
When Chen heard this, although he always felt that something was wrong, he still felt that it made sense...
"That being said... Now he and Sanfang have completely torn their faces... But what should I do?" Chan said.
"You are an elder, she doesn't respect you first, are you still rushing to give her face? Besides, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you don't give her face, who would dare to give her face?" Mrs. Wen Yuanhou said.
It's good to be cold to her like this, just her body bones, I can't say... After three or two years, he died of depression...
Mrs. Wen Yuanhou sneered.
But this time, Chen didn't think she had any point.
First of all, although she is the wife of the prime minister, the prime minister never talks to her in political affairs. The little couple in the third room, and they don't rely on her to eat, her aunt... How can it be so lethal to her?
But... It's okay to add to her once in a while...
Chen took a sip of tea calmly.
When Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Jiulang arrived at Mao'er Hutong, they heard the crackling sound of firecrackers for happy events from a distance.
She lifted the curtain and saw that the east and west mansions were all decorated with red stickers, which was very festive. Guests come in and out, in an endless stream. The whole street is filled with festivities.
"I went out of the cabinet that day... Is it also so lively?" asked Nie Xiaofan.
Zhou Jiulang smiled and said, "There were more visitors that day, so it was more lively than this..."
Nie Xiaofan frowned... It seems that even if Nie Xiao'e tried her best to mend her relationship with her grandmother's family, they still didn't come. Perhaps in their eyes, they dislike the Nie family and don't want to associate with Nie Xiao'e's sisters...
The sins that Mrs. Nie did in the past... It's a pity for the two sisters...
Zhou Jiulang suddenly rubbed his fingers on her forehead, pulling Nie Xiaofan's thoughts back. looked at him puzzled. Zhou Jiulang held her hand on his lap again and said, "What do you want? Smooth out the frown... Don't let anyone see it. ”
Nie Xiaofan pursed his lips and smiled, yes... Today... It's a happy event...
She said: "I just want to say, the day of marriage was my own day, but I didn't expect that I couldn't watch it... If I hadn't come to see my second sister out of the cabinet today, I wouldn't have known what my situation was like that day..."
Zhou Jiulang also thought of the day they got married, and he also felt guilty. But this... It is not appropriate to talk about it at this time. So he took the initiative to change the topic: "Today, the second sister is out of the cabinet, it must be lively..."
The two laughed and talked and entered Nie's mansion, and Nie Xiaonian came up and greeted Zhou Jiulang and left. Nie Xiaofan went to Nie Xiao'e.
The bride was dressing up in the mirror, and Nie Xiaofan looked at the room full of joy, as if she had traveled to the day she got married, and she was stuffed into a sedan chair that day...
Don't want to!
It's infuriating to think about it!
The sisters of the Nie family and the relatives and friends of the Nie family were surrounding Nie Xiao'e to make up, and Lian greeted her: "Xiaofan is here... Hurry up, hurry...", and pulled Nie Xiaofan into the lively crowd.
After greeting each other, Nie Xiaofan quipped: "Our bride is so handsome..."
Everyone laughed playfully, and everyone picked up the words of good luck. It made Nie Xiao'e, who had always been cold, laugh out loud.
"It's just... You two sisters, you don't look like each other on weekdays, but this one is replaced with a phoenix crown... It's like a person," Lien laughed.
These words were originally complimented on the beauty of the two sisters, but on the day Nie Xiaofan got married, the relatives, friends and sisters here did not see Nie Xiaofan wearing a phoenix crown...
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while...
Lian Shi also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. On the day Nie Xiaofan got married, she still said that Nie Xiaofan was not suitable to meet guests...
"Really?" Nie Xiaofan smiled: "Then I can take a look at the second sister, the day I got married, I was so hungry and dizzy, I didn't even see what I looked like..."
Everyone covered their mouths and laughed.
Nie Xiao'e said: "It's not just you, even me... I'm hungry now..."She said and whispered in Nie Xiaofan's ear: "I didn't eat last night, and I didn't even drink a sip of water..."
Nie Xiaofan looked at him sympathetically.
Nie Xiaolan said: "Yes, when I got married, I didn't eat or drink like this... Speaking of which, it is also for the sake of not being ugly in the sedan chair today... If not... Who will suffer this?"
And they laughed.
I heard an old lady say, "You are really... Your sister has always been quick to talk. Saying that the happy event of getting married is a hardship... It's just her..."This lady's words sounded like blame, but in fact, she was very excruciating for Nie Xiaolan.
Nie Xiaofan thought that this might be the wife of the Nie family's Changping, but he really couldn't think of where he had seen her.
"My mother-in-law said it was true. She... That's it!" Lien laughed.
Mother-in-law?
Could it be Nie Xiaolan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li in the military department?
"Please forgive your wife... Xiao Fan was clumsy, he didn't recognize you..."Nie Xiaofan pleaded.
"Hey... This is out of sight, isn't it?" said Mrs. Li busily.
She smiled and helped Nie Xiaofan up, and after looking at each other, Nie Xiaofan felt that this lady was kind in appearance and very refreshing in her speech.
It's strange that the relationship between Dao and Nie Xiaolan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is so good...
It turns out that both of them are similar in temperament...
Nie Xiaolan smiled: "I haven't seen Sister Fan for many days. Sister Fan is still so gentle and lovely..."
Nie Xiaofan covered his lips and smiled.
Gentle and lovely?
Can she use that word too?
Nie Xiaofan couldn't help laughing.
After chatting, Mrs. Li went up for Nie Xiao'e. She is a Quanfu person, and the picture is auspicious.
"Comb to the end..."
Nie Xiaofan and the others watched quietly from the side.
"Two combs of white hair and eyebrows..."
Nie Xiaofan smiled, she got married that day, did she comb her hair like this?
"The three combs are full of children and grandchildren..."
Full of children and grandchildren... She seemed to remember, as if someone was whispering in her ear...
"Who helped me comb my hair that day?" Nie Xiaofan couldn't help but ask.
Lian said: "It's the Quanfu people invited by the Zhou family." ”
The Quanfu people invited by the Zhou family. That shouldn't have anything to do with the Nie family. She didn't ask. The bride who is unconscious left and right is simply an embarrassment with a capital letter.
So Nie Xiaofan stopped talking.
Busy and busy, blowing and blowing... Finally sent the bride to the sedan chair.
Everyone actually had a sense of despair.
"From now on, Xiao'e is a member of the Liu family..."Lian sighed, even sadder than marrying a daughter.
But... She doesn't seem to have married a daughter...
Nie Xiaofan was also infinitely emotional, from dressing up to greeting the sedan chair, she accompanied Nie Xiao'e step by step, as if in her mind, she re-enacted the scene when she got married.
She's been married for two lifetimes... It turned out that he was so confused to get on the sedan chair...
When walking back, Nie Xiaofan held Lian's wrist, and Nie Xiaolan held her mother-in-law's wrist and walked ahead.
Lian whispered in Nie Xiaofan's ear: "Look at your eldest sister... Her mother-in-law was so kind to her..."
Nie Xiaofan said: "The eldest sister lost her mother a few years ago, and having a good mother-in-law can be regarded as compensation." I hope the second sister can be so good..."
"It's not..."Lian sighed: "Mrs. Li, this is good, so good, your eldest sister... You don't know..."
Nie Xiaofan looked at Lian.
Lian simply confessed to Mrs. Li, and pulled Nie Xiaofan aside to tell Nie Xiaolan about it.
It's not a big deal... It's Nie Lian...
was actually picked up from the family temple by Nie Xiaolan...
It's really... A good day is just a toss-up. Even if it's a toss, Lian is not a person who has to kill all the concubines, it's just... Nie Xiaolan actually asked Mr. Li to take Nie Lian into the room...
"It's... How to make it?" Nie Xiaofan asked in surprise.
Shui Changliu said
Because Xiaofan was directly stuffed into the sedan chair when she got married, so there is a little more waste of pen and ink here, let her relive it...
