Chapter 236: The Estrangement Is Hard to Cross
readx;
When Li Hui found Zhou Yi and Qin Cheng on the bank of the lotus pond, he saw that the two of them were chatting happily with the prince. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Dressed in a glass-colored placket with wide sleeves, Wang Yushi had a smile on his face and a noble bearing, which added a bit of inexplicable attraction to his already handsome and extraordinary face. If you listen carefully, you can see that he was still discussing the poems and songs with Zhou Yi one moment ago, and the next moment he mentioned to Qin Cheng the recent events in the court, and he was extremely comfortable and calm.
The people who can suppress the two cousins at the same time are probably only a handful in the entire Chang'an City. Li Hui couldn't help but bend his lips and smile: "It seems that Zixian and Ah Yi and Ah Cheng are like each other at first sight, and they are really fateful." "He didn't have a close relationship with his cousins, so they weren't as close as they were to Li Jing. Therefore, the prince, who is his best friend, is also a little rusty with them.
"Wang Yushi deserves to be the youngest head of the dynasty." Zhou Yi's eyes burned and he sighed, "It's a pity that he couldn't enter the Hongwen Hall as a school scholar." Otherwise, why would all the fame be taken away by some so-called talented people? And why should people be despised from time to time in secret, and even slandered for no reason? Although he is like his father and obsessed with "elegant" things such as poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is not ignorant of the world. The practice of some people in the Hongwen Pavilion vying for fame for years is really a bit despicable.
"If Wang Yushi is only a school scholar, wouldn't it be a pity that he is full of talent?" Qin Cheng glanced at him, "Now as a saint's reliant official, he uses words and sentences as swords and arrows to impeach those who have ill intentions one by one, which makes the atmosphere of the court clear, and even a bystander like me feels extremely happy to look at it!" Not to mention, just uprooting the accomplices involved in King Peng's rebellion and arguing with them bravely and fearlessly was enough to make him high-five and applaud.
The two stubborn young men both insisted on their own opinions, and where their eyes clashed, there seemed to be sparks splashed with sword light and sword shadows invisibly. Wang Zixian smiled helplessly: "The praise of the two Lang Jun, Wang is really ashamed
γ In terms of talent, loyalty, and courage, there are many talented people in the DPRK and China, and Wang is just one of the inconspicuous people. β
Zhou Yi and Qin Cheng were stunned, and before they could praise him again, Li Hui said: "You don't need to be like this, if you want to have more dealings with Zixian in the future, just take advantage of his rest to find him." You can also go and listen to the cultural meetings that he or his friends are hosting. After all, it's not the same as other people's literary clubs, and I think you'll like it. β
"Then don't forget to send us a post." Zhou Yi said with a smile, "Every day, I either go to Yang Zhuangtou's literary meeting, or I go to Zheng Zhuangtou's literary meeting." This head, that head, this literary meeting, and that literary meeting are all nothing more than touting and praising and pretending to compose poems and endowments, and there is no difference between going and not going. β
"I haven't been out for a few days." Qin Cheng's eyes lit up slightly, "Grandpa and Auntie have detained me tightly, and I don't have much interest in those literary associations." However, if it was a literary meeting presided over by Wang Yushi, I think they would definitely allow me to go out. "The identity of the Qin family is too sensitive, and he is also very strict with him as the eldest grandson. He can't go where he shouldn't, he has to go where he should go, and his preferences are almost negligible. However, Wang Zixian is an out-and-out imperial party, and there should be no obstacle to dealing with him.
"The two Langjun can rest assured." Wang Zixian took out two jade posts from his sleeve, "As long as you show these two posts, you can enter and exit the literary meeting of Wang and his friends at will." As for when and where it will be held, Wang will send another servant to deliver the post. "These two pieces of jade are muddy and rough, and they are almost worthless, but the scene of the winding water carved on them is quite vivid, and people can't help but want to take a closer look.
Zhou Yi and Qin took over, and they also looked at it carefully, and recognized the scenery of the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
"The post has also been taken, and the appointment of the Wenhui has been decided, so you finally have time to go to the water pavilion with me now?" Li Hui smiled: "If I can't bring you over, I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to explain to my cousin-in-law." β
"......" Zhou Yi and Qin Cheng glanced at the group of little ladies from afar, one seemed to be a little eager to try, and the other was quite cold. The age difference between the two of them is not much, Zhou Yi is slightly older than a year, and Qin Cheng is only a few months older than Princess Changning. However, just a one-year difference, there is already a difference between the beginning of love and the beginning of love, and the reaction is completely different. In the eyes of Li Hui and Wang Zixian, it is quite interesting.
"Why don't you go with Wang Yushi?" Qin Cheng suddenly said, "Otherwise, it's not interesting just for us to be stuffed in the water xuan." My cousin wasn't allowed to leave us in there. β
The prince pretended to think for a moment, and readily agreed-he originally wanted to use these two little Langjun to approach Li Hui openly. Who taught him the honesty of the past few days, which seemed to make Princess Pu and Yan feel a little alienated? In the past two days, Li Hui didn't even want him to go to King Pu's mansion, and the two could only meet in the vine garden. If the Yan clan had the intention to separate them and keep Li Hui by his side, what excuse could he find to stay among the female dependents?
Fortunately, without him continuing to twist and turn, Li Hui appeared. Now that he has appeared, he naturally has to follow him - perhaps, after seeing more of them with each other, Yan gradually got used to it? Maybe after getting used to it, you can see it out of sight? Even if these "maybes" are just speculations in his heart, no matter what, he has to appear in front of his future mother (mother-in-law) as many times as possible "without a trace".
When the four of them crossed the plank road, many of the little gentlemen on the shore all showed envy. Although there were no little ladies on the plank road they were passing through, the water pavilion they were about to go to was full of high-ranking officials and nobles from all over Chang'an City! That's a living future marriage!
Xu was to avoid suspicion, after the four of them came to Shui Xuan, they saw that there were only Yan and Princess Qinghe, Princess Changning's sisters, and a strange lady and Du Niangzi, and no one else. The mother and daughter of the Du family are still in filial piety, their outfits are relatively plain, and there is nothing bright on their bodies, as if there is a touch of plain color in the purple and red, which makes people can't help but look sideways, and it is very easy to drown in the crowd.
Zhou Yi and Qin Cheng were both extremely shrewd people, and after guessing the identity of Du's mother and daughter, they saluted the Yan family and the eldest princess of Qinghe, and resigned elsewhere
γ The eldest princess of Linchuan and the Xiao family were entertaining guests in other water pavilions, and whether they wanted to or not, they had to go to those places where little ladies were everywhere.
Li Hui and Wang Zixian stayed in place, and after the two elegantly greeted the mother and daughter of the Du family, they sat on the side of Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an. Compared with the lively sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of laughter not far away, this place is particularly quiet, only the Yan family, the eldest princess of Qinghe and the Liu family are greeting each other. Princess Yong'an probably felt bored, and couldn't help but lean on her cousin's arm, pouting her tender little mouth and whispering that Shou Niang had gone elsewhere or something.
The Liu clan looked at the two Lang Jun who stayed behind without a trace, trying to identify which one was the king of Xin'an County. Although she had heard that this county king was born extremely outstanding, and her talent and character were rare, she had never seen it, so she was naturally a little uneasy. And the two young men in front of her, no matter which one is the king of Xin'an County, is enough to make her very happy - which mother-in-law will not like such a good son-in-law?
"Counting up, Du Niangzi should be filial piety at the beginning of next year?" Yan said, "I've always thought that the marriage between the two of them can't be delayed any longer. As soon as you have performed the prayers, you will ask the saints to make an edict and officially celebrate the six prayers. If everything is ready, we will be able to get married at the end of next year. What does Aliu think? β
Compared with the graceful and luxurious Yan family and the eldest princess of Qinghe, the Liu family is like a small jasper, and there is inevitably a little nervousness in the seemingly calm demeanor. However, after mentioning the marriage, she seemed to be vaguely relieved, and her eyes were full of smiles: "Everything can be decided by Her Royal Highness the Princess." Jialan's dowry has already been prepared by our family, and we are just waiting for our son-in-law to welcome her on the right day. As for the restβ" She paused, as if to say something.
"Ah Liu just prepares, and doesn't care about anything else." Yan Shi said lightly, "It's just some gossip, and the people in the Pu Wangfu won't care." Du Niangzi...... Jialan is gentle and quiet, just my favorite daughter-in-law, don't worry. Seeing Liu's eyes showing gratitude, her eyes moved slightly, glanced at Li Hui and Wang Zixian, who seemed to be calm next to her, but had actually frowned, and then looked at Du Niangzi, who was always silent.
"Jialan, what do you want to say? Now Xuanqi's county palace has not yet been built, if you want to adjust the layout of the mansion, or want to see any scenery, just say it. If you have any likes and taboos, you don't have to hide them. β
"......" Du Niangzi raised her eyes slightly, looked at the always gentle Yan family, and quietly glanced at Li Hui, whose expression was slightly wrong. Almost instantly, she knew that Li Hui's actions were not going well, and it was very likely that she had failed completely. So, she looked grim and said softly: "I ......"
However, before she finished speaking, the Liu family next to her held her Rouyi tightly, and a look of pain, fear and anger appeared on her face. Du Niangzi looked at her in a daze, her emotions gradually fell silent, and her face instantly became dark, as if she was here, but her heart was not here.
"Jialanxu is a little tired." The eldest princess of Qinghe smiled lightly, "Just stay here and rest for a while." We also happened to go ahead to meet the guests. With that, she looked at Yan. Yan Shi looked at Du Niangzi fixedly, and only after a while did he say: "It's okay, Wan Niang should also miss Shou Niang, let's go." β
Princess Changning then smiled and held the two elders and told them about the recent interesting things. Li Hui took Princess Yongan by the hand and slowly followed behind them. The prince beside him glanced sideways at the Du family mother and daughter who were sitting in the water pavilion, and then looked at the back of the Yan family, and frowned almost inaudibly.
The mother and daughter of the Du family who remained in Shui Xuan were still in the posture of Fang Cai, as if they were in a stalemate. After a long time, Liu's tears suddenly fell like rain: "Jialan, after meeting the king of Xin'an County, what are you not satisfied with?" In Chang'an City, can you find a better marriage? I don't know how many little ladies secretly envy you, why are you so stubborn? β
Du Niangzi sighed and said astringently: "Ah Niang, no matter how good the king of Xin'an County is, he is not a good man." Son has said countless times that he has no intention of getting married, why does Ah Niang always misinterpret it, thinking that Son is worried that she will not be able to meet a good husband? β
