In the mid-winter month, another uninvited guest came to Tubei Village.
During the winter season, villagers visit each other when they have free time. They can spend a long time sitting in the main room around a fire pot.
This time, everyone went to Chen Dafu's house, which was very close to the Su family.
Listening to the commotion in the yard over there, Li Xiaoxiao was suspicious, "Why is it so quiet this time? Chuanzi, is that really the Second Princess of Xiling?"
Wang Chuan rolled his eyes at him and rubbed his hands to warm himself, "I've been reporting for almost twenty years at any rate. A veteran, be cautious! Can you lead people to the village casually? When I met Xiao Wu on the road, Xiao Wu shouted at that time Second princess, can you still have a lie?"
"Then why didn't she go to Bai Mansion and come here instead?"
"Tsk, you pig head. The head of the Bai family, Bai Yu, and the eldest princess are all in the village during the day. She can't find anyone in the Bai Mansion. Can't she come here?"
"That's true, but why is it so quiet? When people come back to the village, it's always noisy."
"Everyone who comes back is a man. Why don't you come back with a woman? Why don't you be more reserved? Here are the sweet potatoes, dig out the ashes and bury a few...bastard! Where did you throw the ashes? They all fell on my face. ! Poof! Poof!"
"Chen Dafu, where are you vomiting? Turn your face! Go to Dali's side!"
"You bitches! Shut up!"
"Pfft hahaha..."
…
This time it is the second princess of Xiling, Fengtang.
I came alone without a single entourage.
Following the Su family Wu boy into the Su family courtyard, the second princess turned red when she saw the woman with frosty sideburns sitting in the main room warming herself by the fire.
It is cold in the middle of winter, the cold wind is blowing, and the movement is arrogant.
The noble lady stood in the courtyard, wearing a brocade skirt and a large cloak. The large cloak was fluttered by the cold wind, making her look extremely thin, her face pale and her appearance haggard.
In his red eyes, there was almost overwhelming pain and guilt.
When the elders of the Su family saw this, they immediately understood.
Queen Xiling's two royal lists were announced to the world, and the gossip also reached the ears of the Su family.
A brazier was set up in the kitchen, and Grandma Su and Grandma Lu moved to the kitchen with the rest of the family, leaving the main room to the eldest princess and sisters to talk.
As soon as I sat down in the kitchen, I heard a woman's muffled crying coming from the main room.
"well……"
…
Main room.
The second princess fell on the lap of the eldest princess, put aside all pretense and pride, and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, eldest sister, it's because I don't recognize people well... I'm sorry..."
The eldest princess raised her hand and gently stroked the woman's back.
a long time.
"Okay, stop crying, stop crying, I don't blame you." She said, "It's not your fault, the eldest sister knows it in her heart."
She took a handkerchief and wiped Fengtang's tears, then pulled a stool over for her to sit down, "You have been proud and strong since you were a child, and you were betrayed by the people closest to you. You are the one who suffers the most in this matter. But now It’s not your fault, I can only say that it was our disaster in Xiling, and the one who went to great lengths to carry out the disaster is the sinner.”
The eldest princess's eyes were also red, but her eyes were open-minded after relief. "Fortunately, now that the rain has passed and the sky is blue, all the disasters have passed, and the people behind them deserved their punishment. The future of Xiling is full of hope."
When she said these words, her tone was gentle, her mood was calm, and her expressions were clear.
"Eldest sister?" Fengtang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened slightly in disbelief. He looked up and down at the woman in front of him, surprised and delighted at the same time.
The eldest princess smiled and said, "What do you think of me? The eldest sister is not an old fool. She has a clear mind. I sent the message to the third sister. Otherwise, with her temperament, in order to protect me, she would not tell the world so quickly. Zhao confessed the identities of Bai Kui and Yuer."
"So you're awake—"
"Shhh, keep it secret for now. Yu'er and Tianbao don't know yet. I didn't tell them."
"Why?"
The woman with white temples was silent and said with a smile, "I want to hear Yu'er call mother a few more times."
This is a little bit of selfishness on her part. From now on, Yu'er will return it to Sanmei.
The three sisters of the Xiling royal family all had a bad fate, but the one who had the hardest time and suffered the most grievances was actually the third sister.
She couldn't let herself go crazy for the rest of her life. She couldn't let her third sister stand in front of her son, but she didn't dare to let the child call her mother because she was worried about her.
The second princess heard the reluctance behind her short words, and her original sad mood did not dissipate. Her heart ached so much that she wanted to cry again.
But I heard the woman next to me say impatiently, "Okay, don't cry. Why are there so many sorrows in spring and autumn? Everything is over. I am a crazy old woman and can come out. Are you inferior to me? Do you want to eat?" Burn glutinous rice cakes? Roast sweet potatoes? If you are still not happy, I will take you to the Qinghe River to see the scenery. Wang Bai, they must be digging ice on the river to fish for fish this time. The eldest sister will take you to see the legendary magic weapon! You I haven’t even seen the third sister!”
"..." The second princess choked back her tears instantly.
At this time, there was a sudden movement next door.
The old man's angry voice floated through the wall, "Mo Cang! Wang Bai! Are you here to demolish the house?! What's the point of snatching a bed! It's fine now. The bed has collapsed, and grandpa's house will collapse! You guys will be demolishing it tonight They all have to sleep in the ground! It’s outrageous that a father is unkind and unfilial to his children! Sweet baby! Quartz! Come and clean up these two things! Grandpa is so angry! Grandpa has become normal compared with them!"
Bang bang bang——
Dangdangdang——
There was a period of chaos and chaos.
"Hahaha! Mr. Du, is there a fight at home again? How many times has this happened?"
"Wangbai was beaten by his father again? Wangbai, Wangbai! Come out and show me, are you okay?"
"It's over, Quartz is back! Mo Cang, run! Forget it, it's better not to run away, so as not to get punished. Go back and help Mr. Du reinforce the house. It won't be long before it snows, and there won't be enough snow to cover the house. It’s crushed!”
"Zero seven, three nine, six two one... let's eat sweet potatoes and watch the fun!"
There is no one who helps, and there are many who add fuel to the fire.
Even the eldest princess raised her voice and shouted, "Old Du, come back and warm yourself by the fire and eat glutinous rice cakes. Wait for Quartz to finish your work before going over. You won't be able to resist a hit with your little effort."
A swarm of bees came out from the kitchen, each holding a stool to put their feet on, and scurrying to lie on the wall to watch the fun.
Two acquaintances appeared on the wall near the door. One was her brother-in-law Bai Kui, and the other was Bai Xiaofeng, the owner of Wangque Building. They both had serious faces and shining eyes...
The second princess was silent.
No wonder the eldest sister is so good. There are many crazier people around her than her. In this kind of environment, there should be no time for random thoughts and all the fun.
In the tenth year of Xuanjing, the New Year in Tubei Village is as lively as ever.
The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and the fireworks bring joy.
The second princess was sitting on a small stool with a smoky charcoal fire. In the left corner there was a six-year-old child laughing and chasing, in the right corner there was an old man chattering and complaining. Outside the yard, the girls and boys were sweeping the snow as seriously as fighting... …
My ears were filled with all kinds of laughter, and my mood felt clearer than ever before.
The warmth and warmth exuded by this place are so easy to forget.
