The people who came in were all noble sons with great backgrounds in Beijing, and they played with Yun Qingran and often came to visit the door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Therefore, Li Quan was no stranger to them, he glanced at Yun Shaohuang and saw that he was indifferent, and he didn't react. He lowered his head and stepped forward, and after saluting one by one, Fang said in a low voice: "Second son, the eldest son is back." ”

Yun Qingran originally had her eyes on the sky, but when she heard the footsteps, her eyes moved down, and she immediately saw Yun Shaohuang who was standing not far away and smiling at him. He raised his eyebrows, a little surprised and a little delighted. Instantly ignoring his friends behind, he walked over quickly, hugged this righteous brother who had not been seen for a long time, and feigned anger on his face: "Big brother! Okay, you've been back for so long, and now you know how to go home and see? Have you been out for a long time, and with a mansion and a golden house, you don't recognize me as a younger brother? ”

Yun Shaohuang couldn't cry or laugh: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Yun Qingran laughed, pulled him to his Yunmengzhai, and said to Li Quan without looking back: "You take them to listen to Xuetang for tea, the master wants to catch up with his brother, don't bother anyone!" ”

Several people were immediately dissatisfied, and Du Feizhou, the son of Dali Siqing, was the first to speak: "Hey, Yun Qingran, I won't leave us with you like this, right?" You are catching up with your brother, why can't we bother? A few of us have heard of General Yun's prestige for a long time, and we have known each other for a long time. It's just that I've never seen a general in all these years of coming and going to the Hou Mansion, this time it's a coincidence, you don't want to stop us! ”

Dong Zhang, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, immediately echoed: "That's right, Yun Qingran, you can't be partial, if you have a brother, you don't want a few of us!" ”

Yun Shaohuang stood still like a mountain, and nodded politely at a few people, he had not been in Beijing for many years, so he naturally didn't know them, and he couldn't name them, so he could only smile slightly and not say much.

Yun Qingran laughed fiercely, turned around and said, "Yun Shaohuang is my brother, why can't I be partial?" You want to see it, you want to make friends, and you don't give something as a greeting gift, are you embarrassed? He changed his voice and said, "It's better to avoid today's gambling appointment, if I'm in a good mood, maybe I can let my brother take the time to talk to you!" ”

Du Feizhou was stunned and choked by his words. They are about the same age as Yun Qingran, and they are even young, it stands to reason that Yun Shaohuang should give them a meeting gift! It came out of his mouth, as if they really didn't know how to be polite. is such a crooked reason, but they can't easily refute it, after all, it is indeed they who admire Yun Feihuang in front of him and are taken advantage of.

"Qingran, you are not allowed to be rude!" Yun Shaohuang saw that the more he said, the more wrong it became, and scolded.

Yun Qingran pursed her lips, waved her hand, and walked forward, "Eh, forget it, this son is full of words, and he is willing to gamble and lose, so he will not do anything that takes advantage of the opportunity to coerce." My brother is rarely back, I have to accompany him after all, if you can't wait, you can go back to your house first! ”

Waiting for his people to walk away, Yun Shaohuang said to a few people apologetically: "Qing Ran is stubborn, as a brother, I will compensate you here." I really have something important to discuss with Qingran when I go back to my home this time, and I'm really sorry for disturbing the interest. ”

Lu Jin, the prince of the Great General's Mansion, smiled warmly at this time: "General Yun is polite, and we are not unreasonable people. Yun Qingran, this kid is used to being domineering on weekdays, and he doesn't even listen to the words of the Marquis of Zhongyuan, but he only respects the general for three points, so the general can cure him. He doesn't say it, but we know it when we are friends with him. In the past few years, the general has been far away in the frontier, and every time there is a festival, Qingran is a little lonely, even if he is in a lively place, he seems a little lonely and cold, and he thinks that he is thinking of your brother. Since General Yun only came back for a trip so easily, how dare we really delay the time for the two of you brothers to get together! Fang Cai was just joking with that kid, who told him that he was usually the one who didn't eat the most oil and salt? ”

Dong Zhang laughed, stepped forward to hook Lu Jin's shoulder, raised his chin and said, "Yes!" It's rare to see that kid so eager, and see that he will dare to laugh at me in the future, saying that I am a coward who is afraid of my father's discipline. Isn't it like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees General Yun by himself? ”

As soon as these words came out, several sons and brothers laughed along.

Although they are also wealthy nobles in the Shangying Imperial Capital, princes and grandsons, they are still different from the Marquis of Zhongyuan's Mansion. Even compared with the Langyang Lu clan and the Hanchun Gao clan, the honor and favor of the Marquis of Zhongyuan Mansion are only a lot more. After all, the Marquis of Zhongyuan was loyal to Daqin as soon as he took effect, and successively assisted two generations of emperors, which can be described as a high degree of hard work, and he had to rely on the emperor during his lifetime, and he was entrusted to him when he was dying.

In this way, the Marquis of Zhongyuan's Mansion naturally won the favor of today's saints.

And the Lu family and the Gao family are surnames that have been passed down for a hundred years, tracing back to the roots, older than the Great Qin royal family, including the Chun Gao family for generations, and the Langyang Lu family for generations, not only deep-rooted, with heavy troops, but even power and wealth can be comparable to the emperor.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the couch lying on your side? Not to mention the two Tigers.

However, fortunately, the Lu family and the Gao family have been incompatible for many years, and they are not compatible with each other, and they have constraints on each other, so there is a short period of balance and stability in the world. But for the two of them, they are still walking on the edge of the knife. If you accidentally anger the emperor, the family's hundreds of years of inheritance will be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

In addition to the Gao and Lu clans, the other few people are the sons of the princes and ministers of this dynasty, although they are also gold medals and purple ribbons, and everyone from the Zhumen embroidered household, but compared to the nobility and glory of the Zhongyuan Marquis' Mansion, they are also ashamed.

Therefore, Yun Ershao, the prince of the Marquis of Zhongyuan's Mansion, could walk sideways on the streets of Shangying, the imperial capital, and no one cared about him, not only did he not care, but he also had to coax him. When he was happy, the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Zhongyuan were happy, so the emperor and the Marquis of Zhongyuan were naturally happy together. Such a beneficial and harmless thing can be understood by anyone with a little brain.

After Li Quan and the others finished speaking, they stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to stay for tea, or do you want to go home?" ”

Du Feizhou glanced at the brothers, and then looked at the time, they came out early today, what can they do when they go back to the house now? What's more, without Yun Qingran, he always felt that something was missing, so he took the initiative and said: "I have long heard that the Tingxue Pavilion of the Marquis of Zhongyuan Mansion is planted with superb red plums, Ling Han is in full bloom, and the style is outstanding, and all the plum trees in Yingcheng can't be compared." Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis cherished the flowers and plants, and protected the Tingxue Pavilion tightly. In the past, most of us came to the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion to go to Yunmengzhai in Qingran, and we couldn't see it if we wanted to. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, this great opportunity can't be missed in vain! In my opinion, let's go here today to listen to the snow pavilion cook wine and enjoy the flowers, and learn from those literati and vassals? ”

He made this suggestion, which immediately caused everyone to talk about it, and they all nodded in agreement.

Du Feizhou whispered to Li Quan again: "Uncle Li, you can send some warm wine, and then go to Yifangju to invite a few singers with good voices." What's the meaning of just appreciating the flowers, the beauty of the wine needs to complement each other, otherwise it won't be a tyrannical thing? ”

Li Quan was stunned and hesitated. After all, this is the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyuan, and the Marquis of Zhongyuan does not like the prince to have fun, and he is lustful. Isn't he, the housekeeper, going to open his skin?

Lu Jin stood beside Du Feizhou, naturally listened to his words, looked at Li Quan's somewhat embarrassed face, and smiled: "Brother Du, this is not your Dali Temple Qing Mansion, if you want to invite a girl, you can invite a girl." What's more, even in your own home, if you dare to blatantly invite the girl of Yifangju to come and go at will, your aunt won't screw off your ears? ”

Du Feizhou suddenly remembered his mother's nagging energy, and he trembled all over, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hehe, I just want to be lively...... Where did Brother Lu think of it! ”

"Let's go to Qingpinglou and ask a storyteller with a good voice." After speaking, Lu Jin turned his head to look at Du Feizhou, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile, "Wait a little longer, as soon as the New Year is over, there will be more opera troupes in Shangying City." When the time comes, if Brother Du still wants to be lively, he will invite the big guys to watch a few scenes. If you don't ask for it, we won't say yes! ”

Du Feizhou choked and was speechless.

Li Quan nodded, and ordered the two little servants to go down and make arrangements, and he led a group of noble sons and young masters to Tingxue Pavilion.

When passing by Yun Feihuang, he whispered: "Eldest prince, now that the prince is so troubled, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Madam to think about your return." It's not that Uncle Li is talkative, it's just ...... Hey, you'd better make up your own mind! ”

Yun Feihuang watched a group of people walk away, his body seemed to stiffen in the cold wind, and then he walked towards Yun Mengzhai without changing his face.

Yun Qingran waited for a long time, but she didn't look impatient at all. When he entered the door, Yun Qingran was lying on the engraved chair, one foot on the mahogany square stool, one foot on the other, his expression was leisurely, and he was sipping fragrant tea slowly. There is a charcoal stove burning in the room, and the heat wave is rolling, which is several times more comfortable than outside.

Yun Shaohuang took off his hood and hung it on his coat hook funny, thinking that he hadn't seen him for a few years, this younger brother was still the same as before, sitting and standing and not standing, unruly, arrogant and thorough.

After Yun Shaohuang sat down, Yun Qingran restrained his cynical expression, and a pair of fox-like eyes stared at Yun Shaohuang carefully, seeing that Yun Shaohuang himself was a little inexplicable, he put down the teacup in his hand, his voice was low, and said: "Big brother, you didn't come back to Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion to see me, nor did you come to see your father and mother." He said it with great certainty, as if it was reasonable, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What stumped you, General Wei?" ”

Yun Shaohuang couldn't help but smile when he heard this, who said that his younger brother was only a shallow learner and had no strengths? Look, he hasn't said this yet, so he asked him to guess!

Thinking of this, his mood was a little uncontrollable heaviness, looking at Yun Qingran's gorgeous and handsome appearance, and said: "After going out for so many years for my brother, you should also grow up, don't worry about Mrs. ...... everything."

"What ma'am? Which lady? It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yun Qingran, and said in a sharp tone, "That's my mother, and it's also your mother!" Even if you only stay in the Hou Mansion for twelve years, you can't change this fact! Now I want to regret and want to disown my relatives? Don't say that my mother doesn't agree, you can't pass this level! ”

The anger on the young man's face suddenly faded, and Yun Shaohuang opened his mouth to say something, but he paused in his faintly cool eyes. There was a moment of silence in the room.

Yun Qingran snorted and broke the deadlock, "Forget it, I only want you to be away from home for too long and have separated from us." It's just that in front of my mother, the eldest brother still doesn't want to hurt her by saying this, my mother doesn't have my good temperament, and I've heard it. ”

Yun Shaohuang tilted his head and coughed, "Brother knows." ”

Who would believe that? The gentleman who was rumored to have achieved nothing was not only weak in front of the righteous brother who was praised by everyone, but was quicker than his talent.

Others don't understand Yun Qingran, how can he not understand? The two of them have been playing together since they were children, and although he is older, he is always the one who suffers in front of him. In addition to the fact that he has the heart to let him, most of the reason is that Yun Qingran himself is brilliant and talented. It's just that he never shows it, packaging himself as a plastered kid and doesn't want to make progress.

He didn't say it, Yun Shaohuang also understood it in his heart.

It's just that he is young and frivolous, since ancient times, he has been humble and humble, and there is a difference between relatives and relatives, he doesn't care, not necessarily Zhongyuanhou doesn't care. The more he is willing to fall like this, and the more he sets off his hard work, the more the Marquis of Zhongyuan will be afraid of him.

Yun Shaohuang touched his forehead and let out a long sigh: "Okay, it's rare to come back today, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I won't talk about those unpleasant things." ”

Yun Qingran's face looked a little better, raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for him, and said, "Big brother, you haven't told me what you want me to do for you!" After the words fell, he added, "Except for the matter of marrying a wife and taking a concubine, I can't make the decision for you, and you can just say it boldly!" ”

Yun Shaohuang couldn't cry or laugh, glanced at him helplessly, and then said: "I remember that the old man had a meritorious role in fighting drought, and the emperor gave two Tianshan Snow Lotus to pay tribute to the Yi clan, I don't know if it is still in the house now?" ”

Yun Qingran raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "What does the eldest brother want Xuelian to do?" ”

"Save people." Yun Shaohuang's eyebrows moved, and he said lightly.

Yun Qingran seemed to be silent for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Big brother, your trip is a coincidence!" ”

Yun Shaohuang was stunned, "What do you say?" ”

"Those two Tianshan Snow Lotus are the bets I lost today. You see, those people just now followed me to the mansion to pick up the snow lotus, but before they even saw the shadow of the snow lotus, they were stopped by the eldest brother first! Yun Qingran's expression was shining, three points were frivolous, and seven points were proud, "Even if the master loses the bet, they can't take the master's snow lotus?" Hahaha, this is not stingy, it's that a few of them don't have that good fortune! Just let Du Feizhou's kid be depressed! ”

Yun Feihuang suddenly had a headache, this loser's baby actually gambled with the snow lotus given by the emperor, and lost! It is no wonder that in the past two years, Marquis Zhongyuan has become more and more helpless against him. He sighed and was a little glad at the same time, fortunately he came in time, otherwise the Marquis of Zhongyuan would have known about it, and he wouldn't have cut off Yun Qingran's head as a ball?

Yun Qingran's mood improved instantly, clapped her hands, called the little maid in, and ordered: "You go to Lantang Garden to inform your mother and ask her to bring the two snow lotuses in the warehouse." ”

The little guy took the order.

The two brothers talked about something else.

After a while, Yun Qingran was listening to Yun Shaohuang talk with great interest about the strange things in the western frontier, and the little guy came back and said: "Madame said, the snow lotus is a thing given by the emperor, and you can't take it out at will." Ask the eldest prince to go in person, so she can think about it. ”

Yun Shaohuang smiled bitterly when he heard this, he didn't want to disturb his mother, but now it seems that if he wants to get Snow Lotus, he has to go!

Yun Qingran also smiled when he heard this, but he was gloating. After the eldest brother set up his own door at the age of sixteen, he deliberately separated from his mother, in order not to let her be in a dilemma between Marquis Zhongyuan and him. Over the years, my mother has long complained, but she never had a chance. Now that she has caught her eldest brother, how can she give up easily?
