Extra
seventeen phoenix fall
In the 14th year of Xingwu, on the morning of the 22nd of the first month, the backyard of Ningguo Mansion, a side courtyard.

"Second Master, it's time to get up!" The door was pushed open, and a woman who looked like she was in her 20s walked in with a helpless face, ignoring the disharmonious scene on the bed. Because she has long been used to it, "Today, the Sishi Crown Princess is coming back!

Now that the time has passed, why are you still here?Is it possible that you really want to be sent by the empress to let you kneel down and listen to Gong'e reading "The Female Ring"?Or do you want no one to greet the princess when she comes? "

"The princess is coming back? When did you say that?" The man on the bed suddenly sat up and said in panic, "Why didn't I know? Ping'er, why didn't you tell me?"

"My lord, didn't the female official who came to deliver the letter yesterday morning hand over the letter from the Crown Princess to you personally? Although I can read now, I don't have the guts to open such a letter privately, don't I? What's more, the Crown Princess is coming back. The matter, did Gong'e explain it before leaving?

Two sisters, even if the second master forgot to read it, wouldn't you two remind me?You can't just think about playing around with the second master all day long, right? "Ping'er looked around with an ugly face, and soon his face changed, "You didn't read the letter at all?The two sisters really want to live in a Buddhist hall in the future? "

"Ma'am!" The two girls on the bed are of course the sisters of the You family. When they heard Ping'er's scolding, their faces changed suddenly, and they got out of bed before they even washed up. Wrong, it's just that you know the second master's temperament, if he wants to."

"That can't miss the business!" Ping'er didn't care about grinding his teeth with the two, and took a few steps forward to open the envelope that was still sealed on the table, and heaved a sigh of relief after browsing, "It's okay, it's nothing serious, it's just the princess I want to come back and see my mother."

"Isn't that a big deal?" Jia Lian, who had always been indifferent to answers, finally couldn't bear it anymore and sat up abruptly, "Ping'er, you are in charge of the family affairs, and it's not like you don't know about the situation of Wang's daughter. , how come."

"My second master, do you still think that you are the imperial concubine visiting relatives now?" Ping'er interrupted him angrily, without much respect in his tone, "It's not the first time that the eldest girl came back, when did you have to put on a guard of honor?" Could it be possible to borrow from my sister-in-law (Li Wan) for a reception?
Grandma (Wang Xifeng) is not having a good time these days. The palace should have heard the news long ago. It is only right for the eldest girl to come here today. We just need to arrange for someone to prepare grandma's yard. What else are you thinking about? "

"Sister Ping'er, what do we need to do?" Second Sister You didn't dare to get up, she knelt and moved a few steps in front of Ping'er, with a flattering expression on her face, "We also entered the palace a few times on weekdays. Driving is fine."

At this time, the sisters of the You family were all kneeling in front of the bed. Because they got up in a hurry, they only had a silk nightgown on them. After tossing and turning it all night, it didn't look very close to the body. In addition, many buttons had been undone. People are half-understood, coupled with the still blurred sleeping state, it is quite attractive.

If calculated by age, the two sisters are already in their fourth year, but the years seem to be extra tolerant to them—in fact, it’s not just the two of them, Ping’er is even more prominent—now it looks like they are only about [-] people.

"You all get up, wash and dress up quickly, and get up to serve the second master." Ping'er endured it, but still didn't say anything bad, "Don't make the princess angry again, or you will be punished to kneel in the Buddhist hall again. It doesn't even look good on your face!"

After finishing speaking, Ping'er turned around and left the house angrily, and went to arrange pick-up and related matters. Even if Wei Xu ordered to abolish a lot of so-called "rules" that are useless but waste money, some basic procedures still need to be followed. .

"Hmph, isn't it just that she has taken on the title of 'Ping'er'? Look, drive her crazy!" Seeing Ping'er going out, Third Sister You couldn't help but speak with obvious dissatisfaction on her face, "If it wasn't for the prince Concubine's affection, she is nothing more than "

"Shut up!" Jia Lian, who hastily got up before Second Sister You could speak, interrupted her, "Ping'er's title is an imperial edict issued by the empress, and after the decree, she made it clear that if it wasn't for the lady of the royal family Now, I will directly straighten her up!
Now that she is talking at home, even I have to give up three points. As long as it is reasonable, no one should try to overstep it. Otherwise, if any news spreads to the palace, the empress may not let you kneel and listen to "Woman" It's that simple! "

The sisters of the You family didn't dare to say any more, they helped Jia Lian pack up her clothes from left to right, and hurriedly washed and dressed, the third sister You stayed to serve Jia Lian for breakfast, and the second sister You went to Wang Xifeng courtyard to arrange pick-up matter.

At this time, the door was wide open, and the bright sunlight shone into the house. Jia Lian, who was eating breakfast under the service of Third Sister You, was finally fully revealed. His handsome appearance was still maintained, but his temperament and image were not very good.

The second master Lian, who is over forty years old, already has obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Although his face is good because of the long-term pampering, he inevitably has an old face, and there are some pale complexions and unconcealable shadows. The dark circles under the eyes are obviously caused by long-term indulging in alcohol.

But he obviously didn't care, or didn't care at all. Now the whole capital knows that the Ningguo Mansion can not fall apart, thanks to the care of a flat wife appointed by the queen. As for the current nominal head of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Lian, he is very worthy of it. There is a rumor that the Jinling Jia family "gives all the spiritual energy to women".

"Meet the Crown Princess" Time passed quickly during the busy schedule, as soon as Sister Qiao entered the main gate of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Lian hurriedly led someone to bow to meet her, but was immediately supported by the guards of the Eastern Palace.

"Father, how many times have I said this? The Tian family doesn't talk about this now, and the emperor has already issued a strict order. How can a father bow down to his daughter?" Sister Qiao said angrily, and then turned to On topic, "Is mother still in that yard?"

"Back to the princess, she is still there." It was Ping'er who replied, "Grandma is not in good health recently, but she has been treated by the imperial physician in the palace. She has a safe pulse once every three days, and the various medicinal materials and supplements given by the palace are even more so every day. Not broken, but this time I'm afraid."

"Mother Ping, don't worry, I know all about it." Sister Qiao sighed quietly, and waved to Jia Lian by the way, "Father takes the others to go by himself, just ask Mother Ping to go and have a look with me."

"Back to the Crown Princess, why don't you ask the Second Aunt to follow you?" Ping'er hesitated and said. The nobles from the palace came to visit, but they hardly asked the family to receive them. It would be too unpleasant to spread the word. After all, the You family sisters are half masters of the Ningguo Mansion. , it’s better to give them some dignity. "That's all." Remembering that she had indeed been taken care of by Second Sister You when she was a child, no matter what the reason was, Sister Qiao had to recognize this favor, "Others can just wait outside, there is no need to follow."

After the cup of tea, in a rather remote small courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Sister Qiao signaled for irrelevant personnel to disperse with a complicated expression. Then she personally closed the courtyard door and brought Ping'er and Second Sister You into the main room, which is also Wang Xifeng's bedroom. .

"Grandma, why are you up?" To everyone's surprise, Wang Xifeng was sitting alone on the recliner in the living room, and she seemed to be doing well, Ping'er hurried up and knelt beside her to support her, "Why is there no one to take care of her? "

"I have always wanted to be strong. I went the wrong way in the first half of my life, and I was stuck here in the second half of my life. I have been courted by many people in my life. I never thought that you, the girl, would treat me sincerely when I was dying." Wang Xifeng's tone was very weak, but it was rare to be clear-headed, " It's in the past.

I don't have much time now, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out anymore, so I asked my servants to carry me here, hoping to see who else I can see before I die, but I didn't expect that after waiting for several days, only you brought me come over. "

"Grandma, why should you say such frustrating words again?" Ping'er could also see that Wang Xifeng had come back to life at this time, and she stopped talking in circles, because no one could tell when the woman in front of her would disappear. Because the eldest girl came back to see you."

"I've seen my wife!" Sister Qiao's attitude was very blunt, the standard address of a rich family. How many people are left?"

"No need." As the saying goes, "When a person is about to die, his words are good." Wang Xifeng, who has been in a state of insanity for a long time, is rarely sober at this time, and her tone is much calmer. "I haven't taken care of you since I was a child. Although I hate that bitch you follow behind you, but I also accept her kindness.

I just don't understand, even if I'm sorry to many people, but I have been taking care of my mother's family, and now I'm dying, why don't I even arrange for a door-to-door person?Could it be that the Wang family of Jinling didn't even give this bit of decency? "

"Grandma, there is no Jinling Wang family anymore!" Ping'er burst into tears of distress, "Nowadays, my servants dare not hide it from you anymore, my uncle (Wang Ziteng) passed away as early as the Yongzheng period, and now It has been the 14th year of Xingwu, and I am afraid that the Wang family may not even have someone to burn paper for him.

Uncle (Wang Ren), it's not that you don't understand. Since His Majesty founded the country today, the Wang family has not even had a single person on stage. If it wasn't for the care of the second master these years, and the dignity of the eldest girl, I am afraid that they would have been eaten up by outsiders. Clean it up! "

"Lian Er, I know, at least there is a signboard of Rongguo Mansion, what else does Sister Qiao have?" Wang Xifeng asked puzzled.

"Grandma, there has been no Rongguo Mansion for a long time!" Ping'er couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Wang Xifeng's legs and cried, sobbing while talking about the changes in the court for more than ten years, "It hasn't been long since His Majesty became the throne, Just decreed to abolish the title, and the Rongguo Mansion has been in decline for many years, so what can it do?
Fortunately, by the grace of the heavenly family, the eldest girl fell into the eyes of His Majesty and Empress Empress, married and became a crown princess, and thus protected the house and passed it down to the present, the Wang family?Even my uncle, who still goes to the mansion to enjoy the autumn breeze from time to time, who would think of you, a married woman who hasn't gone out for more than ten years? "

"I've been trying to be strong all my life, but I still haven't been able to compete with the prudence of the second room. I never thought that her cold temper would raise a good son, and finally win the West Mansion." Wang Xifeng murmured, "And I actually lost The fate of no one burning paper after death.

It's just unexpected that Lian Er actually won the East Mansion. The Wang family is already finished. The Shi family raised a royal concubine, but it was only one step away. They had no blessing to bear it. The family was wiped out by the previous dynasty. With the two noble concubines rising. "

"Grandma, there are still a few off-branch children in the Shi family who don't have a great future, but they still rely on Miss Shi to take care of them, and they have adopted the name of the main branch." Ping'er kindly reminded, "Although there is no great wealth, you will have nothing to worry about for a lifetime. It can still fall."

"The Wang family, there is only the Wang family." Wang Xifeng was shocked suddenly, an abnormal blush appeared on his face, and he vaguely regained the demeanor of the "fairy concubine" back then, "Although I have not lost anything, my stomach is still up to the mark.

Sister Qiao, I know you look down on my shabby family, but you are still your biological mother. I only hope that you will send me back to my hometown in Jinling after I die. I don’t want to be buried in their Jia family’s mausoleum. Be the daughter of the royal family.

Ping'er, after I die, I will depend on you to watch over the cruel and short-lived one. I don't ask you to do anything. If you can give birth to a boy and a half girl in the future, at least you will burn a piece of paper for me during the festival, so as to save me from poverty. "

"Don't worry, I can still handle some things." Sister Qiao's expression was complicated from the beginning to the end, but she didn't feel much pain. Even if she saw Wang Xifeng dying, "I will make arrangements for Jinling. There are still a few people left.

You don't have to worry about your father. If necessary, I will let him write a letter of divorce and burn it in front of your tomb. Even if it is difficult to deal with while alive, I will give you a free life after death and let you return to the daughter of the royal family. "

"Really?" Wang Xifeng's voice was already inaudible, but she suddenly raised her neck and shouted, "Crying for the Jinling matter is even more sorrowful, crying for the Jinling matter is even more sorrowful—"

"Grandma—" Ping'er threw herself on Wang Xifeng and cried bitterly, but among the three present, she was the only one who cried out!
