In the quiet Xiang Pavilion, Nangong Sili cried softly.
The pear blossoms were raining, which made people feel sad. Bai Qiqian walked to her side, touched her black hair, and said in a voice as gentle as the wind: "Sili, don't cry. If you feel wronged in your heart, please tell me, okay?"
Nangong Sili watched Bai Qiqian's tears silently. After a while, she said, "Qianqian, do you know why I resent my mother so much?"
Bai Qiqian shook her head.
Nangong Sili wiped the tears on her face and sobbed: "When I was young, I often saw my mother sitting in the yard waiting, her eyes full of soreness. She would only smile when my father came.
, the smile is very beautiful.”
"But my father spends most of his time in the courtyards of several aunts. He rarely comes to my mother's yard. Although my mother is the matron of the house, she is not happy at all."
"You know? At that time, I really wanted to run over and beg my father to come and see my mother's yard. As long as he goes to see my mother, my mother will be very happy. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally the day has arrived.
, Dad went to see Mom in the yard."
"Haha, but Dad sat in the courtyard for less than a cup of tea. A servant came over and said that Mrs. Wanrou's angina pectoris occurred again. Then Dad left Mom's courtyard in a hurry.
"
"Since then, there has been no smile on my mother's face. She told me that it was my father who didn't want me. I would pester my mother and ask, we still live in Nangong Mansion, why would my father not want us? I
I conclude that my mother must be lying to me."
"One day, my mother's mood suddenly improved, and she took me for a walk in the garden. In the Begonia Garden, we met Mrs. Wanrou. She kept telling my mother how precious the jewelry on her body was. It was from my father.
Where did you bring it to her specially? At that time, do you know what my mother did?"
"Oh...Sili..." Bai Qiqian hesitated to speak, but finally shook her head, "Sili...the fight between women may never stop."
For women, men are their arena. And where there are arenas, there will be fights.
Nangong Sili smiled: "Qianqian, my mother...she pushed me into the pond with her own hands...haha, and then shouted loudly, saying that Mrs. Wanrou pushed me down. At that moment, I discovered that my mother
It’s really strange.”
Bai Qiqian never thought that Mrs. Nangong would do such a thing.
She thought it was Mrs. Nangong who attacked Mrs. Wanrou, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Nangong would actually use such a move.
Perhaps thinking of the sad things in the past, Nangong Sili's body trembled slightly, as if she was the child who was pushed into the pond by her mother's hands. With fear and despair.
Bai Qiqian stretched out her hand, held Nangong Sili's hand, and gently patted her cold fingertips as if teasing a child.
Nangong Sili's mood gradually stabilized, and she continued: "Grandma knew about this matter, and she used family methods to deal with Mrs. Wanrou. Although my father wanted to keep Mrs. Wanrou, under grandma's insistence, Wanrou...
Madam Rou was executed."
Bai Qiqian thought for a while, the Nangong family has very few heirs, and most of the reasons must be that they cannot live without Mrs. Nangong.
The reason why the old lady is so protective of Mrs. Nangong is probably because she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Nangong family.
"Haha, after that, dad was depressed. Not long after, dad actually moved from the main house to Mrs. Wanrou's house, and kept chanting sutras and chanting Buddha for her. Although I resented my dad for being indifferent to mom and me, I still felt
I admire him very much, at least he truly loves Mrs. Wanrou."
"Most of the time, feelings are something you have no control over. Especially in such a big family, there are so many things to bear. Many times, feelings are just a burden for the family."
"You are right, relationships are just a burden for the family. But I just want to get rid of this baggage. I want to find someone who will be together forever. Haha, a pair of people for a lifetime."
"Sili...hold your hand and grow old together...but it is so difficult to do it."
"Most men have three wives and four concubines. Regardless of whether they love them or not, as long as they are of some sexual interest, they all want to marry them back. Sometimes the family members get tired of seeing them and go to the brothel to look for flowers. As for the women,
?You have to wait for a man all your life, you have to abide by the three obediences and four virtues, you have to help your husband take concubines, and you have to welcome women one after another with a smile on your face..."
"Huh, after you enter the house, there are so many harmonious things about wives and concubines. Most of the time, they are plotting against each other. They are fighting for a man they don't love. In the end, what kind of good ending can they end up with? Like my mother
, although she won, she endured it all her life."
In fact, Nangong Sili's thoughts are already quite outrageous in the eyes of others.
But Bai Qiqian admires her temperament, at least she doesn't want to be restricted by feudal rules and regulations.
"Qianqian, I believe that for the man who truly loves me in this world, having me in this life is enough!"
"Sili, this person must be waiting for you. You have to believe in yourself, you will definitely be free and find your true love." Bai Qiqian said with a smile.
"Hehe, Qianqian, of course I believe that I have found that person. It's a pity that I'm trapped in Nangong Mansion now." A dim emotion appeared in Nangong Sili's eyes, "I deliberately wanted to run out.
, just because I wanted to elope with him. But after my brother found out, he locked me up in Nangong Mansion and asked two idiots to guard me."
"Sili, do you want to elope?"
"Yes, as long as I can be with him, what if I give up my identity as Miss Nangong? Haha, my identity is just a constraint for me."
"Sili, does he know that you are the eldest daughter of the Nangong family?" Bai Qiqian couldn't help but think of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. The two people also eloped in the past, which caused a sensation.
"No, he didn't know that I was a girl from the Nangong family. When I met him, he was playing the piano at Duanqinlou. Later, I learned from the boss that he was the piano master at Duanqinlou. However, he always
I only play the piano once a month."
"Broken Qin Tower?" Bai Qiqian squinted her eyes, "It sounds a bit strange. How come the word "Broken Qin Tower" comes from the Qin Lou Accord? Is there any story behind it?"
"Qianqian, it seems you don't know the story of the current emperor."
"I'm not familiar with Split Zhang Country, so of course I don't know anything about it."
"Duanqinlou is the name given by the current Holy Sage's favorite woman, Mrs. Chaoyang. The Holy Sage Hua Xuxuan has been cold, arrogant, ruthless and cruel all his life. But the only woman he loves in this life is Mrs. Chaoyang. It's a pity that Mrs. Chaoyang enters the palace.
After one year, the fragrance disappears and the jade dies. However, the business of Duanqinlou is getting better and better."
"Then the man you love is the piano master at Duanqinlou?"
"Well, one time, I was bored and went to Duanqinlou to drink tea. I heard a melodious sound of the piano coming from the Accord. I could tell that there was something on his mind in his music. Maybe he already had someone he liked."
"Perhaps it was fate. From that day on, I was fascinated by his music."
"I waited painfully in Duanqin Tower, but never saw him again. Later, because I had to deal with a family matter, my brother asked me to go to the Jinhui Dynasty. The night before I left, I went
After leaving Duanqinlou, I met him again."
It's just a pity that things are unpredictable.
After that, Nangong Sili fell into silence.
Bai Qiqian poured her a cup of hot tea, handed it to her hand, and said softly: "Sili, many things are unpredictable. Now is not the time for us to be sad. In short, we must make every effort
, you want to leave Nangong Mansion and pursue your own happiness, do you know?"
Nangong Sili nodded: "Well, Qianqian, don't worry, I won't give up."
Bai Qiqian's hanging heart relaxed slightly: "Sili, you have a good rest here first, I will go out first."
Nangong Sili looked at Bai Qiqian worriedly: "Qianqian, are you going to find my brother?"
Bai Qi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I do things in a measured way."
After saying that, he walked out of here.
Standing outside the gate, looking at the majestic Nangong Mansion, Bai Qiqian felt trapped.
It felt like there was a breath in her heart, and she was holding it in so much that it hurt.
After a long time, Bai Qiqian took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. No matter what, she would try her best. She didn't believe that Nangong Chuci would be so cruel to her sister.
Nangong Chuci's study is in Nangong Mansion, but it is in a relatively quiet courtyard.
Bai Qiqian passed the news and waited outside the door for a while. Nangong Chuci walked out to pick her up in person: "Haha, why did you think of coming to see me? Could it be that I haven't seen you for a while and you missed me."
Bai Qiqian smiled softly and said, "Yes, I miss you."
A look of surprise appeared on Nangong Chuci's face, along with a bit of joy.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qiqian said again: "I miss you, I want to kick you to death."
Several maids around covered their mouths and smiled. Nangong Chuci smiled awkwardly: "Let's go into the study to talk."
Walking in, Bai Qiqian sat down, stared at Nangong Chuci, and said straight to the point: "I came to you because of Sili's matter. I want you to let Sili go and let her get the happiness she deserves.
"
Nangong Chuci's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he smiled slightly: "Haha, I didn't expect you to care about Sili very much."
Bai Qiqian snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, are you willing to let Sili go?"
Nangong Chuci looked down at the various account books placed on the desk, and his voice was a little helpless: "Qianqian, actually I really want to do something to make you happy, but it's a pity that what you said, I
There’s still no way I can promise you.”
Bai Qiqian stood up quickly, walked quickly to Nangong Chuci, put her hands on the table: "Nangong Chuci, do you have any humanity? Do you have to force Sili to marry someone she doesn't love?
"
Nangong Chuci sneered: "Love? Qianqian, I also want love, but are you willing to give it to me?"
Bai Qiqian felt overwhelmed: "Nangong Chuci, don't confuse what I said. Our affairs and Sili's affairs are not the same thing at all. She and the piano master are in love, and the only thing between us is you.
