The apex pet of the black belly

Chapter 94
Nangong's house was quite a distance away from Shen Guogong's mansion. They crossed a street and walked for a long time before arriving at their destination.

Shen Yunyi got out of the carriage and looked at the Nangong Mansion in front of him, it seemed to be exactly the same as in memory, without any change.

Nangong's family is a general, so the house does not look exquisite and rich, but reveals a rough and bold air, which can be seen from the two stone lions at the door.The two stone lions at the door are not carved finely, at most they can only be seen as lions at a glance, and there are no fine carvings at all.

Look at the three big characters "Nangongfu" with red background and gold lacquer on the top of the head. It was written by Nangong Xiong, the father of the Nangong family.At least from Shen Yunyi's point of view, it looks like it was written by a general.

As soon as Shen Yunyi and the others arrived, they waited at the door. Dressed in stone blue clothes, a man in his early forties greeted him with a smile on his face. I told the old servant to wait here."

This person is the housekeeper of Nangong Mansion, surnamed Li.

Butler Li was a little strange, he looked around, why didn't he see Shen Jiahang, but he was smart enough not to ask.

When Nangong heard Steward Li mention his mother, a slight smile appeared on his face.

Soon the group entered Nangong Mansion.

Shen Yunyi sighed again in her heart, the Nangong family was really similar to what she remembered, there was no change, the outside was the same inside.

In Nangong's house, you don't have to expect to see small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, towers, pavilions, and colorful flowers. The Nangong's mansion is quite satisfactory and has no special features.To paraphrase Nan Gongxiong, what are you doing with those fancy things?The house is easy to live in.

Nangong's group soon arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. Nangong lived. The layout of this courtyard was the same as the overall style of Nangong's family, simple and unadorned, with almost no special decorations.

Nangong's group walked through the courtyard and crossed a galloping white marble screen, and they saw a gray-haired, old-fashioned, but very kind and loving old lady. This was Nangong's mother, Mrs. Nangong.

Mrs. Nangong was wearing a pair of skirts with black satin and red background with dark patterns. I saw her combing auspicious cloud bun and wearing four butterflies and silver wearing flowers. When she saw Nangong, tears filled her eyes. Excited.

Mrs. Nangong experienced a lot of hardships on the battlefield with Nangongxiong when she was young, but when she got older, she looked much older than her peers.

Nangong was equally excited to see Mrs. Nangong, and led the children to salute Mrs. Nangong.

Mrs. Nangong hurriedly said, "Get up, get up quickly. Good children, come to grandma."

As soon as Mrs. Nangong finished speaking, the servants immediately brought five embroidered piers and put them in front of Mrs. Nangong one by one, so that it was convenient for Mrs. Nangong to talk to them.

As soon as Nangong and the others sat down, they sat at the first place on the right hand side of Mrs. Nangong. In her thirties, the woman with this row of inverted triangular eyes, melon-seeded face, and no flesh on her face spoke a mean face. "Sister, didn't you say that my brother-in-law will come with me today? Why didn't I see anyone?"

Shen Yunyi remembered her, this was her second aunt Geng's family, but she was the second uncle Nan Gongyao's stepmother, she gave birth to a daughter Nangong Xing, who was ten years old this year, and a son Nangong Qi, who was five years old this year.

Nangongyao's original partner also left two children, daughter Nangongyue, 12 years old this year; and son Nangongjing, [-] years old this year.

Nangong never liked her talkative, solicitous second sister-in-law. She brushed off the dust that didn't exist on her clothes, and said calmly, "Shuntian Mansion happens to have something to do, so I'll let my husband deal with business first. I have to confess to my mother here."

Geng's exaggerated voice sounded, "Yo! It turns out that in my brother-in-law's heart, visiting Yue's family is not a big deal, business is the most important thing."

Qin Mochen cast his cold eyes on Geng, "Does the second lady of Nangong mean that official business is not important? I don't understand what I said. It is the so-called loyalty to the emperor. The uncle strives to do his official business well, for Is it not important to be loyal to the emperor?"

The complacent expression on Geng's face froze. Sitting beside her was wearing a goose-yellow brocade beige with folded branches and flowers. Nan Gongxing, who was only ten years old, immediately glared at Qin Mochen, "Who are you? How dare you speak to my mother like this?"

Madam Nangong frowned and said displeasedly, "Xing'er."

Sitting opposite Geng, a woman dressed in light green twigs of peonies and narrow sleeves, with a calm and peaceful face looked at Qin Mochen, and said with some uncertainty, "Are you Mochen? I remember that my husband's letter mentioned I have praised you so much, I have always said that if he had a son like you, he would be able to wake up with a smile even in his dreams."

The person who spoke was Mrs. Xu of Nangong. He only had the word Nangongqing, and was only 16 years old. He went to Wancheng last year to learn how to fight and deploy troops with Nangongxiong and his father Nangongzhong.

Qin Mochen nodded slightly at Xu, "It's Qin Mochen who dare not be praised by General Nangong."

Xu smiled and shook her head, "You deserve it. I think you—"

Xu stared at Qin Mochen's eyes gradually becoming a little hazy, as if looking at an old friend through him, "Looking at you reminds me of an old friend."

Shen Yunyi was a little curious, "Auntie, who is the old person you are talking about?"

Xu regained her senses and shook her head, "A poor man."

Seeing that Mrs. Xu didn't mean to say more, Shen Yunyi didn't ask any more questions.

Only then did Mrs. Nangong scold Geng, "The son-in-law didn't come, and I, the mother-in-law, haven't spoken yet. It's your turn to speak?"

Geng lowered his head with a look of unwillingness.

Seeing Geng's honesty, Mrs. Nangong asked Nangong, "What is the son-in-law urgently dealing with in Shuntian Mansion?" Shen Jiahang said he would come, but he didn't, Mrs. Nangong still felt a little uncomfortable.

Nan Gongshi replied, "We were about to get into the carriage, Master Wen from Shuntian Mansion hurried over and said that it was Prince Xiaoli, Zou and that Hua Yilian are now in Shuntian Mansion, they almost demolished Shuntian Mansion. My husband didn't want to go, but I urged him to go."

Upon hearing that it was Xiao Zhengheng, Xu sneered, "So it's Prince Xiaoli, but that's a well-known infatuated species in the capital."

Geng said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law is probably feeling uncomfortable. Back then, the situation of good sisters in sister-in-law's boudoir was—"

Mrs. Nangong interrupted Geng's words, "The more you talk, the more inappropriate you are. Talk about something in front of the child."

Geng Shi flattened his mouth and stopped talking.

"It's okay for you juniors to go out to play or talk together. I'm afraid you won't be able to let go in front of us." Mrs. Nangong dismissed all the juniors who surrounded her.

Once out of Mrs. Nangong's yard, Shen Yunyi took Nangong Yue's arm and wanted to go back to her yard with her.

The relationship between Shen Yunyi and Nangong Xing is not good, and the friendship between the two is mediocre.

Qin Mochen and others followed Nangong Jing. Nangong Qi was too young, and Geng was worried, so he didn't let him follow.

Shen Yunyi and Nangongyue returned to her yard.

Seeing Nangongyue's courtyard, Shen Yunyi sighed, "Cousin, I didn't say, your house doesn't look like a girl's house."

Nangongyue's room has almost no decorations, the decoration is extremely simple and elegant, there is no plaything of any color, there is only a pair of eared vases with several pink flowers in it, a few books, tea cups and tea cups.There are only green gauze curtains hanging on the bed, and the quilt is also very simple.At first glance, it looks like a snow cave, empty.

Nan Gongyue smiled, but did not open her mouth. When she and Shen Yunyi sat down around the round beech wood table, she ordered the maid who was wearing a pink bijia and was about her age behind her to make tea, "Yan'er, go make tea."

Yan'er responded and went to make tea.

Nan Gongyue smiled and said, "Grandpa doesn't like luxury, and doesn't care about decorations. I'm my granddaughter, so naturally I should listen to his teachings."

Shen Yunyi said, "Cousin don't block me with these words. Although my grandfather doesn't like luxurious decorations, he also said that my daughter's house needs to be pampered. Others don't talk about it, even the decoration in the yard of my aunt is much better than that of your cousin. .”

While talking, Yan'er came in with the brewed tea, happened to hear Shen Yunyi's words, picked up the teacup on the table and poured tea, and said, "Miss Biao, my lady is also a young girl, naturally she likes bright colors I also want to decorate the house better. But every time there is something good in the house, as long as the wife and the second lady see it, they will be snatched away—”

Nan Gongyue interrupted Yan'er, "What is snatching, stop talking nonsense in front of Yun Yi."

Yan'er poured the tea, put the teapot on the table, and pouted, "It's not a snatch. Every time I said it was a loan, what happened? I never returned the loan. Miss Biao, my lady doesn't feel sorry for those things." , but some of them were left by the late wife. The lady went to find the master, but the master—”

"Enough, don't talk about it." Nangong Yue interrupted Ya'er with a stern face, and then said to Shen Yunyi, "It's rare for you to come here, but it's a joke for you."

"Cousin, we haven't seen each other for more than three years. Don't you think I'm an outsider? What kind of joke? I didn't know these things before. Now it seems that the second aunt and the others are going too far. Second uncle Never mind."

Nan Gongyue said angrily, "That's the elder, don't say that in front of outsiders."

At this time, a servant girl's voice sounded outside, "Second Young Master, why are you here?"

Shen Yunyi looked intently and saw Nangong Jing, Shen Wenhan and Shen Wenhao coming in one after another.

Nan Gongjing was very fair, wearing a light blue straight dress, with only a blue headband to tie his hair, he looked like a handsome scholar.

Nan Gongjing is indeed a scholar.

Shen Yunyi's second uncle, Nan Gongyao, didn't like to dance with guns and clubs, but was interested in reading, and Nan Gongxiong didn't stop his son from studying.It's just that Nan Gongyao's talent is limited. After passing the examination of scholar on 27th, no matter how hard he tried, he failed to pass the examination of Juren.

Nan Gongyao has only one idle job that he donated, and he is in charge of the general affairs at home, and sometimes opposes the Qing guests in the mansion to recite poems, so he is very unhappy.

Nangong Jing has inherited Nangongyao's love of reading, and now he is [-] years old, and he already has the fame of Tongsheng.

Shen Yunyi noticed that the expressions of Shen Wenhan and Shen Wenhao were a bit strange, especially Shen Wenhao, who looked as if he wanted to drag Nangong Jing away.

Seeing this, Shen Yunyi guessed in her heart that there must be something wrong with it.

Sure enough, as soon as Nangong Jing opened his mouth, he confirmed Shen Yunyi's thoughts.

"Sister, I remember that there is a black gold bow in Mother's dowry, take it out quickly."

Nan Gongyue asked a little strangely, "You usually don't like these things the least, what do you want that black gold bow for now?"

Nan Gongjing replied without thinking, "Second cousin likes the black gold bow, saying that he wants to see and see, we are all a family, there is nothing wrong with that. If second cousin really likes that black gold bow It’s okay to send him off.”

Shen Wenhao couldn't help but speak to prove his innocence, and said loudly, "I didn't! Cousin, I really don't mean that. Cousin, don't listen to your cousin, the Wujin Baogong is the relic of the second aunt! I absolutely I won't move my mind."

Nangong Jing frowned a little bit, looked at Shen Wenhao, then at Nangongyue, and said in a puzzled tone, "Second cousin, don't you think of us as a family?"

This time it was Shen Wenhao's turn to be puzzled, "Cousin, you are my cousin, of course I treat you as a family member. What are you talking about?"

"Since we are a family, why do we have to talk about two different languages? Isn't it just a black gold bow, can it compare with our relatives?" Nan Gongjing said as a matter of course, "Mother wants the white jade Avalokitesvara , said that the third brother is young, and she wants to ask Guanyin to go back to worship, so as to bless the third brother to grow up healthy. By the way, speaking of the white jade Guanyin, sister, why haven't you sent the white jade Guanyin to your mother? "

At the end, Nangong Jing's tone contained blame.

Shen Yunyi stared dumbfounded at Nangong Jing in front of her, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "White Jade Guanyin? But the white jade Guanyin in the dowry of my second aunt? I heard that the White Jade Guanyin was consecrated by Master Ding'an of Xiangguo Temple who had passed away long ago. Not many of them."

It was also because the White Jade Guanyin and the Wujin Baogong were so famous that Shen Yunyi would remember them.

Nan Gongjing nodded, "Cousin, you have a really good memory, that is the white jade Guanyin. We are all one family, since we are a family, we should love each other. No matter how valuable the white jade Guanyin is, it is just a foreign object. There is nothing you can't give .”

What Nangong Jing said, not to mention Shen Yunyi, even Shen Wenhan and Shen Wenhao looked at him as if they were looking at a rare species.

Shen Yunyi finally understood why Nangongyue's room was empty like a snow cave, and she hadn't seen her for more than three years, how did Nangongjing become like this?Although Nangong Jing was a little silly and naive more than three years ago, he is far from being as naive as he is now.

Shen Yunyi couldn't help looking at Nangongyue sympathetically, only to see that her beautiful eyes were full of tears, her head was lowered, big and big teardrops were dripping on the back of her hand holding the goose yellow skirt.

Seeing that Nan Gongyue didn't speak, Nangong Jing couldn't help being a little angry, "Sister, you are really as selfish and ruthless as your mother and third sister said, do you think those foreign things are more important than the bond between our family? You It really disappoints me!"
