Chapter Seventy-One: The Duke of the Kingdom Proposes Marriage, and the General Confesses
Yun Kun looked at Wei Zhang, who was unhappy, and finally couldn't help it, and raised the horsewhip in his hand to poke him: "Make it clear, is this Weishenme unhappy?" ”
"If I slow down a little bit, she'll be knocked on the head!" Wei Zhang glanced at Yun Kun dissatisfied, "If the prince wants to help, please change the way." ”
Yun Kun chuckled and burst into a foul language, and said to Han Entropy: "See, this kid is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin!" ”
Han Entropy smiled and said, "Lord Shizi, you have made dangerous moves, and you have indeed taught people to pinch a cold sweat. And just now I looked at Governor Yao's face, as if he was very unhappy. Aren't you worried that Lord Yao will hate our General Wei because of this? ”
Yun Kun smiled disdainfully and said, "Just him? ”
Wei Zhang's brows furrowed deeply, and he didn't speak.
That night, Yun Kun really asked for a private room in Juxian Building, and asked Su Yuping and Han Entropy to come out, and the five of them continued to drink.
said that Yao Yanyu and Yao Yuanzhi went back to their room to rest after they went home. Yao Yuanzhi asked someone to invite the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse, and the imperial doctor said that she was indeed frightened, but there was no big problem, no medication, just a few days of rest.
Yao Yuanzhi didn't say anything, and asked someone to give the imperial doctor fifty taels of silver, and Haosheng sent the person out.
In the evening, Yao Yanyu didn't eat much, so she asked someone to take down the dinner and prepare to go to bed early to rest, and Wumei, who was waiting outside, came in with a curtain and replied: "Girl, the second master is here." ”
Yao Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite the second brother in." ”
Yao Yanyi came in with a smile, and when she saw Yao Yanyu, she asked with concern, "What does my sister think?" I heard that the situation at that time was very dangerous, if my sister felt any discomfort, let's change to a doctor to take a look? ”
"Thank you second brother for your concern, Yan Yu is fine." Yao Yanyu hurriedly gave up her seat, and asked Cuiwei to serve hot tea.
"It's okay if there's nothing to do, if there's anything you have to tell the second brother."
"Yes." Yao Yanyu sat aside and respectfully agreed.
Yao Yanyi looked at this dignified and obedient sister and said with a smile: "You and I are brother and sister, and my father is not here, so there is no need to be so restrained." ”
"Yes." Yao Yanyu smiled, but still sat upright.
Yao Yanyi didn't bother much about Yao Yanyu's attitude towards herself, and she didn't go around the bush, and said directly: "Second sister, there is something I want to discuss with you when my brother comes to you. ”
Yao Yanyu liked this straightforward way and replied, "Second brother, please speak." ”
"There were two flavors of Chinese medicine in the prescription you gave your father before, which is not common?" Yao Yanyi asked.
"Yes." Yao Yan responded, "It's just that it's not common in the north, and it's not commonly used." ”
"Not often?" Yao Yanyi's eyes showed a little surprise.
"That's how it should be."
"In other words, those old guys in the hospital may not be able to tell what this hemostatic grass and the ground chrysalis are?"
"The hemostatic grass is basically absent in the north. Pupae are also a kind of insect in the mud of the southern wetlands, and are rarely used in medicine. However, the Tai Hospital has gathered the medical masters of the Great Cloud Dynasty, and I haven't dealt with those people, so I can't say if they know these two medicines. ”
"Just now I asked the imperial doctor who came to check your pulse, and he has never even heard of these two flavors of Chinese medicine." The smile on the corner of Yao Yanyi's lips deepened, "Moreover, the main function of the medicine prepared by my sister's prescription is to remove scars, if the people in the Tai Hospital know these two flavors of Chinese medicine, then how can the scar on the face of the second girl of the Zhenguo Mansion stay until now?" ”
Yao Yanyu smiled slightly, thinking that this brother is really shrewd! It is worthy of the Yao family.
"So, my brother wants to discuss something with you." Yao Yanyi said.
Yao Yanyu continued to smile: "Second brother, please speak, as long as Yanyu can do it, he will definitely serve the second brother." ”
"I think that after this prescription is offered, the emperor will definitely order the Tai Hospital to purchase these medicinal materials, but those people in the Tai Hospital will definitely come to the door if they don't understand these two medicines. This procurement of medicinal materials is a fat difference, and it can't be cheaper for others. ”
Yao Yanyu had an epiphany, it turned out that her second brother was like making a fortune with her own prescription. So he smiled and said: "It's simple, I'll draw the appearance of the hemostatic grass and the ground chrysalis, and then write down their characteristics clearly and hand them over to the second brother, and the second brother will do it reliably." ”
"Silly girl, who else in this world is reliable except for your own relatives?" Yao Yanyi chuckled, "You are sincere, and you are not afraid that what you write and paint will fall into the hands of others?" ”
Yao Yanyu was stunned, and couldn't figure out what Yao Yanyi meant for a while. It is said that he should be happy to get the first-hand information!
"My sister is still young, and she is a pampered daughter's family, so it is common sense that she doesn't understand housework. What I mean by looking for you today for my brother is that our brother and sister will join forces and earn some private money to spend. Can my sister understand? ”
Yao Yanyu said secretly, this brother is good! Can you still think of me if you make private money? So Yao Yanyu smiled shyly, nodded and said, "Yanyu listens to my brother." ”
"That's good." Yao Yanyi nodded with satisfaction, "It's not too early, you're frightened again today, let's rest early." In a few days, if there is news, I will come to you. So saying, he stood up.
"Brother walk slowly." Yao Yanyu got up to send him off.
"Well, you can stay." Yao Yanyi straightened his sleeves, and Shi Shiran left.
Yao Yanyu thought about it alone for a while, and Zuihou didn't come up with a reason, so she changed her clothes and went to bed under Cuiwei's urging, and slept quietly.
Two days later, Yao Yuanzhi was summoned by the emperor again.
After coming back, there was a result, the emperor said that he wanted to transfer Yao Yuanzhi back to Beijing to serve, but Jiangnan and Jiangxi provinces have always been the granary of the country, Yao Yuanzhi has been in office for several years, and it is very stable there, and the emperor currently has no new candidate for the governor of Liangjiang, so let Yao Yuanzhi go back for another year. Moreover, the emperor also knew that Yao Yuanzhi's second son was going to participate in the Spring Festival in the coming year, and he actually promised that as long as Yao Yanyi achieved fame, he would consider giving him a decent errand.
Liangjiang is rich, and the emperor is far away, he is the boss when he leaves the capital, he is transferred back to Beijing, and the second-grade Beijing officials are in Yundu City to catch a lot of money, the princes and uncles are nothing, where is his turn Yao Yuanzhi to show his swagger?
Besides, if you accompany the tiger like a tiger, you will be convicted of a cold word if you don't say a word, and if you lose your official position, you may be beheaded if you are serious. Yao Yuanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted Long live, long live, the emperor's grace was mighty, and although the ministers were smeared, they could not repay one ten-thousandth of a cloud.
Yao Yanyu was very happy to hear the news, she thought that she could go back to Jiangnan with her father this time. Although Yundu City is extremely prosperous, and there are two good sisters, Han Mingcan and Su Yuxuan, there are too many rights and wrongs after all, and she doesn't like it.
But unexpectedly, Yao Yuanyi opened his mouth and said to let her stay: "Although the old lady misses you very much, and once said that if I can continue to return to Jiangnan to serve, I will bring you back, but your sister is now heavy, and there is something like Mrs. Shizi in the Hou Mansion, every time I think of it, I can't rest assured." Luckily, you know how to heal, so let's stay and wait for your sister to give birth before making plans. Moreover, your second brother is going to stay and wait for next year's spring festival, just to take care of you. ”
Yao Yan was stunned, she didn't expect this to be the case at all.
Yao Yuanzhi looked at her for a long time, then frowned and asked, "Why don't you want to?" ”
"Nope." Despite her reluctance, Yao Yanyu chose to obey. What about disobedience? In the eyes of her father, a concubine is never as good as a concubine. The relationship between the in-laws and the Dinghou Mansion must be maintained steadily, which is the principle of Governor Yao.
Moreover, Yao Yanyu also knew that if Yao Fengge really had any accidents, I am afraid that she would still be unable to escape the fate of being Su Yuxiang's steproom. Therefore, it is better to be obedient, and the province loses both, and Zuihou himself can't get anything good.
After Yao Yuanzhi's affairs were settled, he began to prepare to go back to Jiangnan. After all, it was already the middle of the lunar month, and he had to hurry back to accompany the old lady for the New Year.
Yao Fengge came over in time, although she was pregnant for a few months, her father was going back to Jiangnan, she still had a lot of things to explain to her father, it was not easy for father and daughter to meet once, even if they were pregnant, they had to come over.
Su Yuxiang came with Yao Fengge, and after entering the door, he first greeted his father-in-law, said a few words and ate a cup of tea, and said that he still had some urgent matters to deal with, and he would come to pick up his wife around Shenshi in the afternoon. Yao Yuanzhi naturally didn't keep him much, and only asked Yao Yanyi to send people out.
There were only two father and daughter left in the house, and Yao Fengge took out the four or five Geng posts he had selected: "Father, Yan Yu is not too young, and it is time for her to choose a family affair." This was selected by the daughter from one or twenty eunuchs a few days ago, and the father saw that he liked it. ”
Yao Yuanzhi took the Geng post and took a general look at it, then put it on the high table at hand, and chuckled: "Yanyu's marriage, I have promised to let her choose by herself." ”
"Father?" Yao Fengge thought that he had heard it wrong, or that his father was joking. Since ancient times, parents have been in charge of marriage matters, where is the turn of the girl's family to choose herself?
Yao Yuanzhi smiled, and in order to make sure that what he said was not a joke, he added: "Yan Yu is only sixteen years old. Don't worry about marriage matters first. ”
"But, father?" Yao Fengge was puzzled, "It looks like it's going to be the New Year." After the New Year, Yanyu will be seventeen years old! "If a seventeen-year-old girl is not married, she should at least be married! If the marriage is delayed, it will be blamed behind people's backs.
Although Yao Yuanzhi is shrewd and calculating, he is also a man. Since he agreed to his daughter's matter, he naturally didn't expect to regret it. However, the marriage is naturally decided. So he touched the short mustache on his chin and said slowly, "You sisters are good at talking to each other. When you turn around, you quietly ask her what kind of person she likes, and as long as she nods, you will first decide the marriage for your father. ”
"Father! How can you only listen to Yan Yu in this matter? ”
"Of course, the selection of candidates is up to the family." Yao Yuanzhi picked up the Geng posts again, flipped them open, and said with a smile: "Just like this, you pick a few decent ones first, and then let her choose." I won't go to the big pleats. ”
Yao Fengge smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that his father had spoiled Yan Yu to this extent?
Yao Yuanzhi guessed seven or eight points when he saw his daughter's expression, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it." She is now on the cusp of the storm, and even the emperor mentioned her to me, so we can't be sloppy about Yanyu. ”
Yao Fengge's heart was shocked, and his eyes immediately widened: "Your Majesty? "Yao Yanyu is mentioned?
Yao Yuanzhi smiled and nodded, and then told Yao Fengge about the emperor's prescription. Yao Fengge was silent for a long time after listening to it, and Fang sighed: "The second sister is really a blessed one. ”
Yao Yuanzhi said again: "I put her in the capital because of you." Second, if she goes back with me now, I'm afraid it will cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. The emperor asked for a prescription, but he hadn't dispensed it yet, and I also read the prescription, which was very mysterious. If Yan Yu goes back to Jiangnan with me, there will be no trouble in the future. It's just that if she stays in the capital, you have to worry more! ”
Yao Fengge listened to his father's advice and nodded again and again. She can understand her father's words: her sister's peerless medical skills are a double-edged sword, as a member of the Yao family, she must guide more, let this sword add blessings to the Yao family, and must not let it hurt the foundation of the Yao family intentionally or unintentionally.
Yao Yuanzhi didn't have time to say too much to Yao Fengge, and Yao Yanyu heard that Su Yuxiang had left and came from behind.
The coral blessing at the door said hello to Yao Yanyu, and Yao Fengge and Yao Yuanzhi changed the topic inside.
At noon that day, Yao Yuanzhi had dinner with his two daughters and second son, and the father and son seemed to have everything to say, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In the afternoon, Su Yuxiang came to pick up Yao Fengge and returned home, but Yao Yanyu avoided it under the pretext of going in to pack her father's luggage.
At dinner, Yao Yuanzhi took a post and said to Yao Yanyu: "Zhenguo Gong heard that his father was leaving, and said that he would hold a banquet in the house to see off his father, and the post asked you to go with him." ”
Yao Yanyu thought that the so-called send-off of Zhenguo Gong was also a thank you banquet to put it bluntly, in fact, the Zhenguo Mansion and the Eldest Princess Mansion had already expressed their gratitude for the matter of Han Chengge's healing, and then it would be too much. She couldn't guess what her father's intention was, but she didn't want to go, so she replied: "My daughter almost fell off the carriage a few days ago, and now she feels scared when she thinks about getting into the carriage." ”
Yao Yuanzhi sighed: "In this case, you should rest at home." I'll take your second brother there, and you will take care of the family's affairs. If someone visits, you should be cautious. ”
Yao Yanyu said yes, and after sending his father and brother out, he asked Feng Youcun to close the door.
The Zhenguo Mansion is no better than other families, it is one of the richest places in Yundu City.
Yao Yuanzhi took his son Yao Yanyi to the banquet on this trip, naturally with the intention of planning for his son. Yao Yanyi will stay in the capital for the next few days until the end of the Spring Festival, and it is naturally a very good thing to be able to talk to the prince and the second son of the Zhenguo Mansion.
Originally, Yao Yuanzhi also thought that the banquet of the Zhenguo Mansion was just a thank you banquet for his daughter to heal Han Shizi's injury, but when the banquet was really held, he found that things were more than that.
The banquet was set up in the outer study of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Han Wei, the Duke of Zhenguo, fell on the main seat, and the other people sitting next to him were not only Han Shizi and Han Ergongzi, but also Dingyuan General Weizhang, who flew to save Yao Yanyu that day.
Zhenguo Gong is a horse master and a veteran of the battlefield, so he naturally doesn't speak so much. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Grandpa Guo asked Yao Yuanzhi directly: "Lord Yao, can the marriage of your second daughter be conclusive?" ”
Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "There is a memory of Grandpa Lao, and the second daughter of the lower official is still waiting to be in the boudoir, and there is no promise to match anyone." ”
"That's good." Zhen Guogong glanced at Wei Zhang with a smile, and then asked Yao Yuanzhi: "How does Lord Yao think of our General Dingyuan?" ”
"Huh?" Yao Yuan almost squirted out a sip of tea - this ...... Is there such a proposal? Too straightforward, right?
Wei Zhang didn't move, he sat there with a calm face, letting Yao Yuanzhi and Yao Yanyi stare at him fiercely several times.
Yao Yuanzhi is an old fox who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, but he straightened out his thoughts in a few breaths, put down the tea cup in his hand, smiled, and said, "Is Grandpa Guo making fun of the official?" General Dingyuan is the emperor's favorite general, with great achievements and a promising future. How can my Yao Yuanzhi's daughter be worthy? ”
"Lord Yao! Modest. Zhen Guogong smiled and raised his glass, "I can't hide it, this idea is not mine alone. This was originally the meaning of the eldest princess. The eldest princess regarded the second girl Yao as a daughter and loved her very much, so she thought about setting a good family affair for her. Why, Lord Yao shouldn't be unwilling, right? Or is there another candidate for a son-in-law for Lord Yao? ”
"Ah, no, no......" Yao Yuanzhi hurriedly raised his glass and touched it with Zhen Guogong, and said: "There is no candidate, the next official has been running for general affairs every day in the past few days since he entered Beijing, where is the time to take care of the affairs of his children." ”
"That's good." Zhen Guogong smiled: "Let's do this glass of wine, this matter is settled." ”
"......" Yao Yuanzhi gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that even if she was the eldest princess, she couldn't force people like this, right? Geng Ti has nothing, and the eight characters have not been combined, how can this marriage be decided?
"Grandpa Guo." Yao Yanyi deeply understood his father's difficulties, so he raised his wine glass and smiled into a flower: "Father is naturally grateful for the love of Grandpa Guo and the eldest princess. It's just that...... My grandmother loves my second sister very much, and her marriage is ...... My father always had to go back and talk to my grandmother before he could say yes. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Zhang, who was sitting next to him, changed his face slightly, and his eyes swept over Yao Yanyi's face with some coldness, and he returned to normal in an instant. Han Wei smiled and said, "That's the truth. I didn't mean to force Lord Yao, come, let's drink. ”
Yao Yuanzhi smiled and raised his glass to touch Han Wei, drank it dry, and then flipped his wrist to show Grandpa Guo his empty wine glass.
"Good!" Han Wei happily waved his hand and ordered the maid next to him: "Pour wine!" ”
The maid stepped forward to pour wine, and Han Wei, the prince of Zhenguo, asked Yao Yuanzhi again: "I don't know what kind of young talent is the best choice for a good son-in-law in the eyes of Lord Yao?" ”
Yao Yuanzhi was stunned again, thinking to himself, Grandpa Guo, are you still finished?
Seeing that Yao Yuanzhi didn't speak, Han Wei smiled again: "I'm from a military background, I can't compare to Lord Yao's Shili family, and my words are warm and tactful, what do I say." Wei Zhang has been by my side for a few years, and I can be regarded as growing up, as I was born and died, he is not much worse than my two sons, and I have always regarded him as my own son and nephew. It's a bit reckless to propose to Lord Yao today, but I still hope that Lord Yao can think about it. ”
"Grandpa Guo cares about the future of the little girl, and the lower officials are very grateful." Yao Yuanzhi didn't want to refuse directly, so he was heartbroken and played a trick, "It's just that the lower official neglected to discipline his daughter, and developed her arrogant temperament...... Hehe...... Look, what kind of words are this! It's just that this daughter has won the favor of the old mother in the family, no matter what, as long as she is coquettish in front of the old lady, the old lady has no one to disobey. So, in order not to make the old lady sad, this matter depends on what my daughter who does not grow up thinks in her heart. ”
"Oh?" Zhenguo Gong heard hahadaxiao: "hahaha...... In fact, fathers all over the world have the same mind, and they all spoil their daughters! ”
Yao Yuanzhi borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and hurriedly admitted that he doted on his daughter and developed his daughter's arrogant and unbridled temperament.
Zhen Guogong glanced back at Wei Zhang, stopped the topic in time, and said something else about the court. Yao Yuanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and laughed with Zhen Guogong, but secretly wondered why Yao Yanyu would say those words about the freedom of marriage to himself? Isn't it related to this badge? The people of the Zhenguo Mansion had already mentioned this person to her? Or, something has been going on between them for a long time?
No matter what happened in his heart, Yao Yuanzhi's face had always maintained the calm it deserved. Because he couldn't agree to Zhenguo's family affairs in person, Yao Yuanzhi could only drink desperately. Then he was undoubtedly drunk and fell into the middle of the feast.
Yao Yanyi was not much better, Zhen Guogong pulled Yao Yuanzhi to drink, and Han Entropy pulled Yao Yanyi to drink.
However, the prince Han Entropy Ge and Wei Zhang both sat there calmly, neither persuading them to drink, nor saying anything. A wine banquet was drunk from noon to night, watching the sun go down and the sun was falling, Yao Yuanzhi finally lay on the table unconscious, Han Entropy Ge Fang instructed the maid next to him: "Help Lord Yao to the side room to rest." ”
Yao Yanyi, who still had a trace of sanity, hurriedly said: "Don't bother, Lord Shizi, it's not too early at this time, it's time for us to leave." ”
Han Entropy said politely: "Why should Yao Gongzi be polite, Master Yao is already drunk, how can he withstand the bumps of the carriage?" What's the point of resting in the house for a night? ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Yao Yanyi forced himself not to fall, arched his hand to Han Entropy, and stumbled: "If my father and son are ...... Penetrate...... didn't return all night, and the second sister was home alone...... It's hard to sit still, so ...... So it's better to go back. ”
When Han Chengge heard this, he naturally didn't know what to say, so he only instructed his family: "Haosheng will send Master Yao and Master Yao back to the house." ”
Wei Zhang put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I'll send it." ”
Han Entropy chuckled and teased: "Lord Yao hasn't agreed to the marriage yet." ”
"It doesn't matter if you say yes or no." Anyway, it's a matter of time. Wei Zhang said, got up indifferently, stepped forward to pull up Yao Yuanzhi who was lying on the table, put one of his arms on his shoulder, put one hand around his waist, and walked out half-helping.
In fact, Yao Yuanzhi was not completely drunk and unconscious. He felt that he had rejected Zhen Guogong first, and if he hadn't drunk it himself this time, the matter would really have no end.
At this time, he was half-hugged by Wei Zhang and walked out, not to mention how much fire there was in his heart. Fortunately, I didn't agree to this marriage just now, otherwise what would it be? As a father-in-law-to-be, he actually drank unconscious in front of his son-in-law? The prospective son-in-law is not drunk at all, and he still sends himself home like this? Is this bastard surnamed Wei understandable?
Wei Zhang didn't think about it so much, in his opinion, it was nothing more than an opportunity to enter the door of the Yao family proudly and take a look at Yao Yanyu by the way, he didn't want to miss it, so he personally sent the Yao family's father and son home, it was as simple as that.
Wei Zhang personally sent Yao Yuan's father and son home, and the carriage stopped at Yao's residence, Wei Zhang turned around and dismounted, and ordered the spear to lead someone to help Yao Yuan get off the car.
Yao Yanyu has been in her bedroom for most of the day, and seeing that her father and brother still haven't come back after dark, she is naturally a little anxious. At this time, when he heard that his father was drunk and unconscious, he was sent back, so he didn't care much, put on his big clothes and went forward.
Hurriedly turning the main hall and walking to the front yard, Yao Yanyu looked up and saw Wei Zhang wearing a crow-blue black fox coat, and couldn't help but be stunned. Looking up at the person who came, Fang Fu said for a while: "Thank you General Wei for taking care of my father and brother, please come into the house for tea." ”
"Miss Yao doesn't have to be polite." Wei Zhang nodded, and ordered the spear sideways: "Quickly send Master Yao in." ”
Yao Yuanzhi was quite clear in his heart at this time, but his steps were vain, like stepping on clouds. Leaning on the shoulder of the spear, Lord Yao opened his eyes slightly and glanced at his daughter, but seeing Yao Yanyu's expression, he was a little indifferent, especially looking at Wei Zhang's eyes, but there was a bit of anger or anger in the indifference?
Master Yao knew that he had drunk a lot of wine, and it was dark and he couldn't see it really, so he drew a question mark in his heart in a daze.
Yao Yanyi was young in the end, and he drank relatively little wine, and at this time he was holding the arm of his subordinate and slowly walked in, because he saw Yao Yanyu stepping forward to support his father, and Wei Zhang had been staring at Yao Yanyu, Yao Ergongzi took a few steps, stepped forward, patted Wei Zhang's shoulder, and said with a big tongue and a smile: "General Wei...... Please...... Let's go inside and have a cup of tea. ”
Wei Zhang bowed slightly: "Okay." ”
Yao Yanyu glared at Wei Zhang silently, this person is really! People just said politely, and he took it seriously! Can't you see the current situation clearly? Father and brother are drunk, who has the time to drink tea with him?
However, the words spoken, the water spilled out. Since they invited people and they agreed, they naturally couldn't say anything else.
Yao Yanyu ordered someone to come over to help Yao Yuanzhi and instructed Mama Feng: "Go and prepare a sobering soup." ”
The subordinate helped Yao Yuanzhi back to the room, and Yao Yanyi forced himself into the main hall. Wei Zhang then entered the door and sat down with Yao Yanyi, and Yao Yanyu instructed Mai Dong to serve fragrant tea.
Yao Yanyi drank a lot of wine, and he was forced to maintain a trace of sanity before because he was in the Zhenguo Mansion at that time. Now that he was at his own house, the string that had been tight in his heart was loosened unconsciously, he leaned back in the Taishi chair, his eyelids were heavier than a while, and then the tea cup in his hand suddenly fell crookedly, and he was unconscious when a hot tea was poured on his clothes, so he leaned back on the chair and fell asleep.
Yao Yanyu sighed silently, watched the little maid step forward and pick up the tea cup that fell on the carpet and took it away, so she instructed lightly: "Help the second son go back to the room." ”
The two maids that Yao Yanyu had bought to serve Yao Yanyi hurriedly stepped forward, helped Yao Yanyi up, one left and one right, and directly dragged him to the bedroom in the back by turning the screen.
After the chaos together, only Yao Yanyu was left alone in the main hall, and the guest General Wei sat in place and drank tea steadily.
In the corner stood two serving little girls, both with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, standing with their hands down.
There were a dozen candles lit in the not very wide main hall, and although the room was not as bright as day, it was still brightly lit. The candlelight burned in clusters, and from time to time a drop of wax oil fell, crystal clear down the candlestick, and it was formed like a pearl.
In the middle of the room is a hollow carved double claw bead pattern of the big tripod, the tripod is burned with red charcoal and fragrant cakes, and the wisps of light smoke with warm heat and the smell of frangipani spread in the room.
After a long time, Yao Yanyu finally opened her mouth to break the silence in the room: "Thank you for today's events, general." ”
"You're welcome, I also happened to be in the Guogong Mansion, Lord Yao was drunk, and I will send him back by the way." Wei Zhang held the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, and looked at Yao Yanyu with a pair of deep eyes, with a good look in his eyes.
Yao Yanyu was uncomfortable with his hair, but he couldn't turn his face with this person for various reasons, so he had to lower his head and drink tea.
Wei Zhang felt that he had finally come to visit, and he didn't want to stop there, so he slowly spoke: "Miss Yao, today in the Guogong Mansion, Grandpa Guo mentioned something to Lord Yao. ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Yao Yanyu didn't want to know the conversation between Zhen Guogong and his father at all, but just asked perfunctorily out of instinct.
Wei Zhang, in an attitude of not being shocked, said slowly and clearly: "There is something about Miss Yao's marriage. ”
"Huh?" Yao Yanyu suddenly raised her head and looked at Wei Zhang, with undisguised eagerness and trepidation in her eyes.
Wei Zhang looked at Yao Yanyu and was silent steadily, not saying a word more, just waiting for her to ask.
After a while, Yao Yanyu chuckled and shook her head, but didn't ask more.
This girl is really calm! Wei Zhang sighed silently, but after all, he couldn't hold back and said, "Miss Yao, don't you want to know what Grandpa Guo said?" ”
Yao Yanyu had almost guessed a few points. In the plum garden of the Eldest Princess's Mansion before, Han Entropy appeared in front of him and Han Mingcan with Wei Zhang, and Wei Zhang once said something like that to himself. At that time, I drank alcohol, I could pretend to be drunk, and I can't remember what I did, but it seems that the matter did not end there.
Now that Zhenguo Gong mentioned his marriage to his father again, Wei Zhang sent his father and brother back today, it seems that Zhen Guogong and the eldest princess have made up their minds to match their marriage with Wei Zhang!
Thinking of this, Yao Yanyu's expression on her face became more and more calm, and she asked rhetorically: "Parents have always been in charge of marriage, so what do I know?" Don't know what? ”
Wei Zhang stared at Yao Yanyu's face and asked slowly: "But Lord Yao said that you have been pampered by the old lady of your family since you were a child, and you have to make your own decisions about your marriage?" I wonder if this is true or not? ”
Yao Yanyu was stunned, thinking that his father was quite backbone, and he didn't agree on the spot when Zhenguo Gong proposed marriage, although it was a little funny to find such a reason to put things on hold, but at least he remembered what he had promised himself. In such a hurry, my father didn't take himself seriously.
Since his father didn't agree on the spot, Yao Yanyu himself had confidence, so he smiled indifferently and asked again: "What, does General Wei want to get to the bottom of it, and he must pinch the mistakes of our father and daughter before he stops?" ”
"No, I didn't mean that." Wei Zhang hurriedly waved his hand, put the teacup on the high table at hand, then stood up and slowly walked to the Duobao Pavilion next to him, and picked up an ancient bronze jue to play with, "Miss Yao, do you remember the last time we met in the plum garden of the eldest princess's mansion, what I told you?" ”
Yao Yanyu's heart tightened, and she secretly thought that this guy's face is really thick, and he actually wants to make a second confession?
No matter, let's pretend to be confused for him first! After Yao Yanyu made up her mind, she slowly got up and bowed slightly to Wei Zhang: "I was already drunk that day, and I don't remember some things, so please forgive the general." ”
"It's okay, since Miss Yao is drunk and didn't hear it, I'll tell you again tonight." Wei Zhang turned around, looked at Yao Yanyu calmly, turned his finger and took out a watery ice jade earring, and said slowly: "Since returning to Beijing in triumph that day and receiving the girl's earrings on Xuanwu Street, Wei Zhang has kept the girl in his heart. Every time we met later, it only deepened my longing for the girl. This time, Grandpa Guo mentioned my marriage with the girl to Ling Zun, and Ling Zun said that Miss Yao's marriage has to be decided by yourself, so I will ask today, Miss Yao, I don't know how you are willing to marry me? ”
Yao Yanyu looked at the earrings on Wei Zhang's fingertips, the drop-shaped pendant was small and exquisite, pinched by slender and powerful fingers, and the candlelight shone perfectly on the turquoise ice jade, and Yao Yanyu's eyes were a little painful.
This kind of confession is actually very bland, as if he just simply said a few words of truth, without gorgeous and majestic rhetoric, let alone an oath that he made for a long time.
Just a few simple and unpretentious words, Yao Yanyu, who has been a person in two worlds, was instantly moved.
At that moment, the words of promise almost burst out. But it was still bitten to death. So much so that many times afterwards, Yao Yanyu repeatedly applauded her sanity every time she recalled the scene of this night.
"General Wei's words are serious!" Yao Yanyu forcibly withdrew her gaze from the earring, pursed the corners of her lips, and continued: "I have no idea of getting married for the time being. ”
What do you mean by that? Isn't it a girl who doesn't want to get married in her life? Wei Zhang was puzzled, obviously when this girl looked at herself, there was unconcealed attachment in her eyes, but she had to be hard-mouthed.
Yao Yanyu chuckled: "If a woman can stand on her own feet in the world, why should she get married?" In my opinion, getting yourself a man is the same as getting in trouble. It's better to be alone, come and go without worry, and be more chic and free. ”
Wei Zhang also chuckled, but didn't speak, just raised his hand to put the earring into his palm.
The two men fell silent again.
Yao Yanyu stood for a while, feeling that her feet were sore, Wei Zhang didn't sit down, and she couldn't sit by herself, the two of them were speechless and really embarrassed, so they had to break the silence: "The general forgives the sin, the father and brother are drunk, Yanyu is really not at ease, I want to go in and see them." ”
Wei Zhang suddenly smiled, not that kind of shallow smile, not a light smile, but hehe daxiao.
Yao Yanyu was stunned by this person's laughter, and she didn't know what kind of moth he was going to make.
Wei Zhang laughed for a while, raised his feet and walked up to Yao Yanyu, looked into her eyes, his low voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a faint aroma of wine gently brushing Yao Yanyu's face: "Miss Yao, you said that you don't want to marry for the time being, then I will wait for you for a while." When you want to get married, I'll ask a matchmaker to come to your door, how about it? ”
"......" Yao Yanyu smothered a mouthful of blood in her throat, glared at the person angrily, and took two steps sideways.
Wei Zhang laughed again, but said no more, turned and walked to the door, and walked away.
Yao Yanyu exhaled secretly, stabilized her mind, and instructed her family: "Go and close the door, watch the door." No matter who came, they all said that the master had rested and there were no visitors. ”
The subordinate outside the door agreed to go down, and Yao Yanyu turned around and went to the backyard.
This night, Yao Yanyu slept very restlessly.
At first, he couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed, but when he closed his eyes, he saw Wei Zhang's cold face and arrogant smile, and his words kept replaying in his ears.
Miss Yao, I don't know how you are willing to marry me?
What do you have to do?
Marry me......
Miss Yao, when you want to get married, I will ask a matchmaker to come to the door to propose, how about it?
Want to get married...... So I went to the door to ask for my wife......
Annoyed by thinking, Yao Yanyu silently burst into foul language: How did this bastard know that the old lady must marry him?! Where did he get all this confidence?!
Yao Yanyu tossed and turned on the bed alone for nearly four watches before she gradually fell asleep, but she had some messy dreams. After a while, Yao Fengge took her hand and said that she had given birth to a daughter, and she was destined to have no children in this life, so she asked her sister to help find a way, otherwise she would not be able to settle down in the Dinghou Mansion; After a while, I dreamed that Feng was lying in a pool of blood and holding his hand, and called Miss Yao for help one after another......
When she dreamed of zuihou, it turned out to be Wei Zhang standing in front of her with a bloodstain, a pair of bloodthirsty eyes burning like fire, her chapped lips opened and closed gently, and she could hardly make a sound, but she heard it very clearly, and he said, Yan Yu, you are finally willing to marry me......
I'll it! Who's going to marry you!
Yao Yanyu sat up in a hurry, and waved the purple yarn tent, and the light silk yarn was almost torn by her.
"The girl is awake?" Cuiwei heard the movement and came in, and saw Yao Yanyu sitting on the bed with a pale face, so she asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”
Yao Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief, forced down the scene in the dream, and said slowly: "It's not uncomfortable, it's just a scared dream." It's okay. ”
