Chapter 19: Father’s training
And all this, Nangong Yue did not know. She was walking in a
good mood on the way back to the house, the corner of her mouth could not hide
her smile, her eyes were even more shining.
Unexpectedly, this trip was so smooth, so easy, and got this
priceless Bingxin Zizhi.
In the previous life, this Bingxin Zizhi was like a
pearl covered in dust and was abandoned in the medicine cabinet. When someone
recognized it, the medicine had already broken.
It was regarded as a talk after dinner, and spread all over
the Wangdu overnight. Even Nangong Yue felt very sorry at that time.
It is a pity that when Nangong Yue returned to her yard, her
good mood disappeared. Saw Yimei guarding at the door of her boudoir nervously,
her eyes wandering.
Nangong Yue's eyes condensed, and she glanced at Yimei
faintly, seemingly casual, but she seemed to carry the might of thunder.
Yimei's body trembled. For a moment, she thought she saw the
Lao Furen. No, San Guniang seemed to be more frightening than the
Lao Furen.
“Yue Jie’er”
Nangong Yue was shocked by a familiar voice. When she
followed the sound, she saw a slender figure standing by the window and looking
at her. There was a rare solemnity on his handsome face.
Nangong Yue was suddenly stunned, but she quickly returned
to her senses. She reluctantly laughed and walked into the room as if nothing
had happened. She said, "Dad, how did you come?"
Nangong Mu would not be so fooled by Nangong Yue. He stepped
forward a few steps and asked in a slightly disappointed way: "Yue Jie’er,
you have always followed the rules since childhood. Why grow up, but not
sensible? Why do you want to sneak out of the mansion?" Said, the eye
passes through the Nangong Yue, falls on An Niang, "An Niang,
you really let me be too disappointed. Unexpectedly, let Yue Jie’er to
act arbitrarily regardless of the rules!"
Nangong Yue's smile was stiff for a moment, and pretended to
be coquettish and said: "Father, nanny all listen to me. Everything is
Yue’er's fault. Yue’er stayed in the house a bit stuffy, so wanted to go out to
relax."
"Relax?" Nangong Mu raised his brows, with a trace
of pity in his eyes, but was quickly pressed by reason. "If you want to go
out, why don't you tell your mother to go out in a fair manner? If you leave
the mansion secretly like this, if your grandmother knows about it, you know
the consequences!"
Nangong Yue lowered her head slightly in silence, her
eyelashes half drooping, covering her mind.
"Yue Jie’er, you are nine years old. You should
learn to be sensible. Think about it yourself." Nangong Mu said bitterly,
but Nangong Yue only felt ironic, obviously her father never cared about her.
She pursed her lips, and suddenly said, "I know my
grandmother will be in the Buddhist hall this time." The implication was
that grandmother would not know.
Moreover, her grandmother had never been close to her and
seldom thought of her, so she dared to take this time to go out of the Mansion.
Hearing the rebellious tone in her daughter's voice, Nangong
Mu looks at his daughter unexpectedly. Suddenly, he feels that he knows little
about his daughter, so he secretly makes up his mind. He pondered for a while
and said seriously, "Yue Jie’er, you are right indeed, but have you
ever thought that there is no absolute, some pattern can be changed. For
example, today, why do you think father is here waiting for you?"
His expression and tone showed that he was concerned about
her.
This idea clearly floated in Nangong Yue's mind. She
remembered that her father had taught her so earnestly yesterday, and a strange
emotion sprouted in her heart. A complicated color flashed in her eyes. She
didn't understand why her father cared about her? Why her father had never
visited her since she left home in the previous life even did not send letters…
At the thought of this, her heart cooled down again and
warned herself not to be blinded by the warmth at the moment.
This man is ruthless to her mother and unrighteous to her.
How can he believe such a ruthless and unjust man!
Seeing that Nangong Yue hadn't spoken for a long time,
Nangong Mu thought that he was speaking too hard, so he changed his tone and
said: "Yue Jie’er, you know that there is news from the palace
today, so your grandmother did not go to the Buddhist hall. She wants to see you.
"
Hearing this, Nangong Yue was startled and looked up at her
father. Now she knew she was afraid. If she was caught by grandmother, she
would punish her even fear that implicating her mother. But, What does she
have to do with the news from the palace?
"Fortunately, father happened to come here to see you,
so he sent your grandmother's people away for the time being." Nangong Mu
frowned and looked at Nangong Yue's clothes. "What kind of clothes are you
wearing? Don't change quickly." With that, he walked out of his daughter's
boudoir.
"Yes, father." Nangong Yue, who was in the wrong,
didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly changed her clothes under the
service of An Niang and Yimei.
Nangong Mu was waiting for her in the yard outside the house.
In a soft voice, he said, "If your grandmother asks about it later, say
that you just fell asleep. My father can't bear to wake you up, so I'm late. Go
ahead. "
Nangong Yue froze for a moment and nodded slowly. When she
came to Rong'antang, the Dongci room was very lively. In addition
to the female family members of the Changfang, erfang,sanfang
and even the grandsons —the Chanfang’s Di son Nangong Sheng and the sanfang
‘s Di son of Nangong Hao all have arrived. Not only that, but even
the Gumu Nangong yun and cousin(biaomei) Bai Muxiao also
appeared.
Everyone was surrounded around Su Shi. Talking and
laughter came from time to time. Even Su Shi was smiling. The atmosphere
was very warm.
The appearance of Nangong Yue suddenly attracted all the
eyes, and the laughter stopped.
"Yue Jie’er." Lin Shi cried out
affectionately, but Nangong Lin pressed her over.
"Third Jiejie, you have come at last. Let your
grandmother to wait for a long time." Nangong Lin complains with a joking
tone, but she sets a crime for Nangong Yue not to respect her grandparents.
Nangong Yue didn't want to look at her at all. She went
straight to Su Shi's and bowed over and said, "Forgive me,
grandmother. Granddaughter took a nap just now..."
"Needless to say, you aren't feel well. You need more
rest." Su Shi, who is sitting on the Luohan, waved her hand and call
generously, "Yue Jie’er, come to grandmother quickly." In
Su Shi's mind, the third granddaughter used to be a little bit of a
family girl, but recently she has become a little bit more knowledgeable. She
knows that the family's interests are the most important. She wisely offers xuanhuang
Linglong ginseng. Since her granddaughter knows how to sacrifice for her
family, as a grandmother, she doesn't mind giving her a little face, so as to
let others know that as long as they makes contributions to the family, they
will not be unfairly treated.
Hearing the words, Nangong Lin's face sank. On usually, she
always felt that Nangong Yue was stupid and unwelcome by her grandmother. Among
the granddaughters, in addition to the Tangjie Nangong Cheng, she is the
best. But my grandmother today...
She bit her lip unwillingly, and said in her heart: Third Jiejie,
don't be proud. If it weren't for the Xuanhuang Linglong Ginseng, how
would you please grandmother!
"Well, with Yue Biaojie, my grandmother won't
care me anymore." Bai muxiao complains, pretending to be sad. She had been
sitting on Su Shi's right hand side, but she had to step back.
