Chapter 588 This place is too easy to linger
In the middle of winter, an uninvited guest came to Tubei Village again.
During the winter, villagers would visit each other when they had free time, and would spend a long time sitting around a brazier in the main hall.
This time, everyone went to Chen Dafu's house, which was very close to the Su family.
Listening to the noises coming from the courtyard, 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, rubbing his hands together and warming them by the fire. "I've been delivering messages for almost twenty years now, I'm an old hand. Be careful! Can you just bring people into the village? If you run into Xiao Wu on the road, he'll call you Second Princess. How could it be fake?"
"Then why didn't she go to Bai's house, but came here instead?"
"Tsk, you pig-headed fool! Patriarch Bai, Bai Yu, and the eldest princess are all in the village during the day. She couldn't find anyone at the Bai Mansion, so she had to come here, didn't she?"
"That's true, but why is it so quiet? When people come back to the village, it's always noisy."
"All the people coming back are men. This is the first time a woman has come back. Shouldn't she be more reserved? I've brought the sweet potatoes. I'm going to bury some in the ashes... You bastard! Where are you going to throw the ashes? It's all over my face! Puff! Puff!"
"Chen Dafu, where are you vomiting? Turn around! Towards Dali!"
"You bunch of bastards! Shut up!"
“Hahahaha…”
…
The one coming this time is the second princess of Xiling, Fengtang.
He came alone without any followers.
When the second princess followed Su Jiawu into the Su family courtyard and saw the frosty-haired woman sitting by the fire in the main hall, her eyes turned red.
It was cold in mid-winter, with the wind howling loudly and violently.
The noble lady stood in the courtyard, wearing a brocade skirt and a wide cloak. The wide cloak was blown by the cold wind, making her look exceptionally thin, pale and haggard.
In his red eyes, there was pain and guilt that he could hardly contain.
When the elders of the Su family saw this, they immediately understood.
Queen Xiling announced two imperial edicts to the world, and the gossip also reached the ears of the Su family.
Another brazier was set up in the kitchen. Grandma Su and Madam Lu took the rest of the family to the kitchen, leaving the main room for the eldest princess and her sisters to chat.
As soon as I sat down in the kitchen, I heard a woman's suppressed crying coming from the main room.
"well……"
…
Main room.
The second princess fell on the eldest princess's lap, dropped all her pretense and pride, and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, elder sister, I didn't know people well enough... I'm sorry..."
The eldest princess raised her hand and gently stroked the woman's back, again and again.
a long time.
"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, I don't blame you." She said, "It's not your fault. I know it all in my heart."
She took a handkerchief and wiped Feng Tang's tears, then pulled a stool over and motioned for her to sit down. "You've been proud and strong-willed since childhood, and you've been betrayed by the people closest to you. You're the one suffering the most in this matter. But this isn't your fault. All I can say is that this was a disaster for our Xiling, and the one who orchestrated it is the sinner."
The eldest princess's eyes were also red, but her gaze was filled with relief and openness. "Fortunately, the rain has stopped and the sky is clear. All the disasters are over, and the people behind this have received their due punishment. The future of Xiling is full of hope."
When she said these words, her tone was gentle, her emotions were stable, and her expression was clear.
"Eldest sister?" Feng Tang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief, looking up and down at the woman in front of him, surprised and happy.
The eldest princess smiled softly, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not old and confused. I know everything clearly. I passed the news to my third sister. Otherwise, given her personality, she wouldn't have announced Bai Kui and Yu'er's identities to the world so quickly in order to protect me."
"So you're awake—"
"Shh, keep it a secret for now. Yu'er and Tianbao don't know yet. I didn't tell them."
"Why?"
The white-haired woman was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I want to hear Yu'er call me mother more often."
This was just a little bit of her selfish desire, and later, Yu'er would be returned to her third sister.
The three sisters of the Xiling royal family all had tragic fates, but it was actually the third sister who had the hardest life and endured the most grievances.
She couldn't indulge herself in madness for the rest of her life, and she couldn't let her third sister stand in front of her son, but because she was concerned about her, she didn't dare let the child call her mother.
The second princess heard the reluctance behind her short words, and her already sad mood did not dissipate. She felt so painful in her heart that she wanted to cry again.
But then he heard the woman beside him say impatiently, "Alright, stop crying. Why are you so sad? It's all in the past. Even a crazy old woman like me can get over it. Are you any worse than me? Do you want some roasted glutinous rice cakes? Roasted sweet potatoes? If you're still not happy, I'll take you to the Qing River to see the scenery. Wang Bai and the others must be breaking ice and fishing on the river. I'll take you to see the legendary magic weapon! Your third sister hasn't even seen it!"
"..." The second princess choked back her tears.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise next door.
The old man's furious voice drifted through the wall, "Mo Cang! Wang Bai! Are you here to tear down my house?! What's so good about fighting over a bed?! Now that the bed has collapsed, my house is going to collapse! You all have to sleep in the ground at night! The father is unkind and the son is unfilial, this is outrageous! Tianbao! Quartz! Come and deal with these two! I'm so mad at you! Compared to them, I look normal!"
Bang, bang, bang—
Dangdangdang——
There was a period of chaos and disorder.
"Hahaha! Du Lao, is there another fight at home? How many times has this happened?"
"Wang Bai was beaten by his father again? Wang Bai, Wang Bai! Come out and let uncle see, are you okay?"
"It's over, Quartz is back! Mo Cang, run! Forget it, you'd better not run away, so as not to offend Jiayi. Go back and reinforce Du Lao's house. It will snow soon, and there will be no snow to crush the house!"
"Zero seven, thirty nine, six twenty one...eat sweet potatoes and watch the fun!"
There is no one who helps, but many who add fuel to the fire.
Even the eldest princess raised her voice and shouted, "Old Du, come back and roast some glutinous rice cakes. Wait until Shi Ying is done before you go over. You won't be able to withstand a blow with your limited skills."
A swarm of people also swarmed out from the kitchen, each holding a stool to use as a footstool, and scrambled to lean on the wall to watch the fun.
Two familiar faces appeared from the wall near the gate. One was her brother-in-law Bai Kui, and the other was Bai Xiaofeng, the owner of Wangque Tower. Both had serious expressions and their eyes sparkled...
The second princess was silent.
No wonder the eldest sister is fine. There are many people around her who are crazier than her. In such an environment, she should have no time to think about random things and should be full of joy.
In the tenth year of Xuanjing, the New Year in Tubei Village was as lively as ever.
Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and fireworks bring joy.
The Second Princess sat on a short, stout stool, warming herself by the smoky charcoal fire. In the left corner, six-year-old children were playing and chasing each other. In the right corner, an old man was chattering and complaining. Outside, the girls and boys were sweeping snow as seriously as if they were fighting a war...
My ears were filled with all kinds of laughter, and I felt my mood was brighter than ever before.
The warmth and warmth exuded by this place makes it easy to linger.
