Chapter 25: Temptation
There is no reason to break the change, the explanation is to cover up, and the cover up is to tell the story...... Hehe, but Yanyan still has to explain the reason. And that is: Uh-huh, Yanyan came back too late last night...... For the same reason, cover your face and run away. But now this month, everyone can understand ha, the month of dispersion...... Getting back to business, there is a lot of foreshadowing in this chapter, let's be careful, there will be no spoilers for Yanyan.
Body:
On the carriage back, I still couldn't let go. For a long time, all kinds of entanglements and speculations about Du Yuxuan made me have to suspect that she was not really married to her brother, but had another purpose. But I can't figure it out, what is she asking for at the cost of her life?
I've made countless assumptions, but none of them worked. I don't understand, but I can't help but figure it out. This is related to the happiness of the third brother, and the third brother is the only relative I care about here.
I can't guess, the only way I can think of is to ask Du Yuxuan directly. I thought of it, so I immediately went to the third brother's "Listening to Yuxuan" after returning home.
I'm used to going in and out of the third brother's yard, but after he got married, I haven't been there. Knowing that the third brother and Du Yuxuan were there, I didn't let the little brother report, so I directly pushed open the door of the third brother's bedroom.
Inside the door, however, was the most peaceful scene: the third brother was drawing on the table with a pen, while Du Yuxuan was sewing a cotton robe next to the bed. When they heard the door, they all looked out, a little stunned. I felt as if I had broken this peace, and said with a sneer: "Sister-in-law, I am usually crazy with my brother, and I forgot that you are married for a while, and I hope that my sister-in-law will forgive me." ”
Du Yuxuan smiled and shook his head. The third brother hurriedly walked a few steps over to take my hand, and said with a smile: "Forgive me, Xiao Xuan knows the relationship between the two of us, how can I blame you?" How did you go to Qingdao today, and do you have any interesting stories to share with us? ”
I shook my head, thinking about how to bring out today's incident, and how to ask Du Yuxuan. When I walked to the table, I saw that what my brother was painting turned out to be Du Yuxuan's portrait, and the person in the painting was beautiful and affectionate, and he was full of laughter, as if he was about to laugh out loud. I think the person in this painting is three points more beautiful than Du Yuxuan's real person, which shows the weight of Du Yuxuan in my brother's heart. Seeing this painting, I couldn't make up my mind, I don't know if my brother can bear it. Besides, if it is really as Jiang Yunlin said, it is only that His Royal Highness the Ninth has affection for Du Yuxuan, and Du Yuxuan has no intention, then it is not to provoke Brother Brother's heart to be unhappy.
I was a little confused, and when I saw that Du Yuxuan was still sewing cotton clothes, I asked casually: "Sister-in-law, how can I sew these by myself, there are very good embroiderers in the house, and it is almost May now, so I don't need such a thick one." ”
Who knew that Du Yuxuan blushed and said: "This is sewn for your brother, cotton clothes are worn closely, what you want is not how good the stitches are, but how careful you are, but the threads are all hidden in the cloth, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to wear on your body." So I don't want to fake it. Na Ancheng, I heard that it is very cold all year round, so you have to prepare a few more sets of cotton clothes, your brother will go soon, I only have to sew a few more sets of cotton clothes to keep him warm. ”
My mind moved: "If my sister-in-law is unwilling, I can stop him and prevent him from going." I don't approve of him going, and if my sister-in-law doesn't approve either, he will have to obey even if he is a thousand dissatisfied. ”
I looked at my brother, who shrugged absently and shook his head with a smile.
Sure enough, Du Yuxuan said: "The man has ambitions in all directions, if he is imprisoned by my side, of course I am good, but for him, it is undoubtedly in prison." After a long time, the pride and ambition are smoothed out little by little, and what is the fun of the rest of the life that is as light as water? Why don't you take advantage of his youth and see more, and when he can't run, he will naturally come back to me. ”
I didn't give up, and said, "Aren't you afraid that he won't come back until Marshal Du does?" ”
Du Yuxuan said: "That is also the righteousness of the country, and it should be so!" ”
I wanted to say it, but it was my brother who shouted, "Good! I know that Xiao Xuan, who knows me! The most blessed thing in my life is to marry you! As he spoke, he walked over and held Du Yuxuan's hand emotionally.
I coughed lightly and said, "I'm still here, can you restrain yourself a little?" ”
The third brother smiled: "My Qingqing is still too young, when you are old and find your Ruyi Langjun, you will know that when the love is strong, you can't help it." ”
Before I could speak, Du Yuxuan smacked him first and said, "You are not afraid of teaching your sister badly, you can't help yourself, don't mention this kind of thing in the future." ”
I waved my hand indifferently: "Sister-in-law, don't blame, my brother and I can talk about anything." And I'm not young, I'm thirteen this year, don't always treat me like a child! "Originally, too, to say, I'm much better than these two little ghosts, but it's psychological.
The third brother dragged my hand and said, "Exactly, it seems that I want to help you find it." By the way, you haven't said anything about going out today. ”
"I ......," I slowly pondered the wording, "I met the Ten Princesses today." I peeked at Du Yuxuan's reaction as I spoke.
However, Du Yuxuan didn't seem to hear it, and was still sewing the cotton clothes.
I decided to continue: "She told me a lot, saying that my sister-in-law used to accompany the tenth princess in the palace when she was young. ”
After I finished speaking, I looked at Du Yuxuan. Du Yuxuan casually received: "Yes, at that time, I was several years younger than Qingqing's current age, Ruan Niangniang announced that I entered the palace every day to accompany the tenth princess, in fact, it is just children reading together and playing together." There are also four highnesses, nine highnesses, and later seven princesses, those days were carefree, and it was really nostalgic. ”
I didn't expect that she took the initiative to mention His Royal Highness the Ninth by herself, and she was speechless for a while, not knowing how to continue. The third brother was interested and asked, "Really?" Then you have a good relationship with the tenth princess, right? ”
Du Yuxuan shook his head: "At that time, the tenth princess was two years younger than me, and she couldn't play together, but His Royal Highness the Ninth was the same age as me, and we often discussed homework together." It's just that when everyone grew up, and three years ago, His Royal Highness Jiu went to Ancheng to guard the city, and Ruan Niangniang rarely announced that I was in the palace. ”
The third brother nodded and said, "Indeed, His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness is proficient in everything and is a good person to talk to." Speaking of His Royal Highness the Nine, the third brother looked in admiration again.
I see that Du Yuxuan seems to have no heart to push this matter out of the city, if I mention it again, it will be because I am suspicious. But I also feel that this statement seems to be deliberately prepared. But today's encounter with the tenth princess, only Rulan, Ling Yun and Xiao Wu knew, in order to test Du Yuxuan, I specially told them to keep it secret, and they had been with me on the way back, so it was impossible to tell her. It is also the tenth princess herself who knows, but judging from today's attitude, it is impossible for her to inform Du Yuxuan. If no one told her, there was only one explanation, and that was that she was really open-minded and had nothing to hide.
was thinking to himself, and the third brother asked me again: "There are so many princes and grandsons today, can my sister have a favorite, let my brother help you?" ”
I rolled my eyes and said, "I'm not as handsome as my brother, what should I do?" I can't see any of them! ”
The elder brother seemed taken aback: "No, there are so many of them?" I think it'......" He thought for a long time and said, "I think the Fourth Highness is good, plus you had an accident last time, he came over in such a hurry and helped a lot." It's just that I don't know what happened to him and his second sister......"
I was shocked and looked at the third brother, he didn't look unusual, he should just talk casually. I didn't know how to answer, but who knew that he gushed again: "Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Ninth is better, if my sister can marry such a young hero, it will also be a beautiful thing!" ”
"Ding Muyu!" I was angry that he was completely calm in his own world, and the more I talked, the happier I became: "Am I your own sister?" Is it okay to be a man? I don't need you to plan my future, I have to make my own decisions! You have worked hard today, rest with your sister-in-law as soon as possible, Qingqing will retire first. ”
As he spoke, he turned and stepped back with his laughter. After walking out, I seemed to hear the third brother saying, "Xiao Xuan, why did you stab your hand?" ”
But I was flawless in my pursuit, just thinking that since the third brother likes Du Yuxuan so much, and Du Yuxuan is married into the Ding Mansion, as long as he is careful, he shouldn't be able to play any tricks.
