The Empress Dowager

Chapter 7 Meeting Three Sisters
"Thank you father, thank you mother." Nangong Yue turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and then stopped at the same spot, Nangong Jian obviously saw her hesitation, and asked: "Yue'er, what's the matter? "

"Returning to my father, there is a saying, my daughter doesn't know whether to say it or not..."

"Say." Nangong Jian said.

"From my hometown to the capital, my daughter has always known that our Nangong family is one of the best big families in the capital. However, today my daughter is at the gate, and the guards at the gate said something a little..." Nangong Yue pretended to be wronged, her voice still a little vibrato,
"Forget it, Dad, maybe my daughter is too petty."

"Yue'er, finished talking, what did the boy at the door say?"

"It's just... my daughter can't say it... just my daughter is thinking, my daughter came to the capital from her hometown, and it's common sense that the servants don't know each other, but if they speak out loud, if they bump into other people in the future, will they treat my father?" You... have an impact on the reputation of our Nangong family?"

"How could this be, master, Lao Yuan has been in our family for decades, and he has never had anything wrong..." Jiang said.

"Yue'er, it's getting late, you should go to rest early after a long journey, I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and I won't wrong you."

"Thank you dad." After Nangong Yue finished speaking, she turned back and backed away. She couldn't help but curl her lips slightly. Fortunately, the original owner learned the etiquette well since she was a child. She didn't stay in vain on the way from her hometown to Beijing. Carefully studied the original owner hundreds of times, trying not to see any flaws.

Since the original owner's father and mother despised the daughter so much, if Nangong Yue didn't punish them to avenge the original owner, her surname would not be Nangong!
But it's still early days, don't worry, don't worry.

Nangong Yue was in a good mood and followed a maidservant who was about twelve or thirteen years old to the second gate, walked through the chasing corridor, and walked on the stone-filled corridor. Not far away was a garden with towering ancient cypresses. There are clusters of flowers, rockery and strange rocks dotted among them.

It's not that she has never been to Jiangnan Water Town to visit the garden, but compared to the crowds at that time, she is more immersive now.

As expected, I have crossed over!
Bypassing a rockery, facing Nangong Yue, she saw an octagonal pavilion in the high garden. The pavilion looked small, but there were many people, three of whom were sitting.

The one who spoke the loudest was a woman in a green dress with long sleeves, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with jingling hairpins that looked cheap.

There is also a little girl of seven or eight years old, who is not tall enough, with an apricot-yellow double-breasted skirt and two buns, the pink and tender ones are very cute.

Surrounding them on the left and right in the middle was a 16-year-old woman wearing a long cherry-colored skirt.

I have to say that despite her young age, the cherry-colored dress is also lively and lovely, but she has an inexplicable aura, coupled with her face that is as beautiful as a fairy, and she seems to be smiling, Nangong Yue can't help but stare dumbfounded.

"Hey! I'm calling you!"

Nangong Yue came back to her senses, and the beauty had already stood up, holding on to the railing of the pavilion and looking down at her. She was obviously dissatisfied with Nangong Yue's ignorance: "Hey, little girl, which yard is it? Why are you so unreasonable?" Know the rules?"

Nangong Yue raised her eyes and looked at the person carefully, and saw that she was wearing a cherry-colored long skirt that stretched across the floor, three thousand strands of hair were twisted into a beautiful cloud bun, and a beautiful golden butterfly swing was inserted obliquely in her hair. , adorned with dots of tassels sprinkled on the blue silk, a little powder is applied on the elegant jade face, like a lotus emerging from water, fresh and moving.

Nangong Yue moved her lips and was about to speak, when she heard another soft female voice say: "Big sister, why bother to waste time with this little girl, look at how poor she is, I'm afraid it's Zhang Nanny taking it again." Our family does charity, is it a small beggar picked up on the road?"

The woman in the apricot red dress covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled as she spoke, her eyes full of sarcasm.
