Chapter 179: Self-Knowledge
Yang Yun behaved very calmly in front of Princess Xianyi, he had long looked down on the matter of victory and defeat, it was better to remain humble in front of the superiors, the more he wanted to be in the limelight, the faster he would die.
His attitude was also appreciated by Princess Xianyi, who was smiling at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Mao was bent on getting along with Yang Yuhuan more, and felt that Princess Xianyi had ruined her good deeds, so she couldn't help complaining: "Xianyi, you have already consulted with Yang Daochang, should you go back earlier?" ”
Princess Xianyi smiled and quipped: "Is it because I don't know each other and ruined the good things of the eighteenth brother?" ”
Yang Yuhuan's face was blushing, and she lowered her head in shame, like a little girl who was just beginning to fall in love, shy and timid, the more she was like this, the more Li Mao was fascinated.
"Sister, it's getting late, should we go home?"
Yang Yun reminded Yang Yuhuan.
After all, he ran out secretly, and if he was discovered by the Yang family, Yang Yuhuan might not only be locked up in the room and not allowed to come out in the future, but also be watched by others all the time, and it would be difficult to get free.
Before coming to the banquet, Yang Yun had already explained to Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan was reluctant, looked at Li Mao and said, "The little girl has been out for some time, it's time to go home." ”
Li Mao hurriedly said: "I didn't mean to catch Miss Yang, I just ......"
In a hurry, Li Mao was clumsy in words, her handsome face turned red, and she didn't know how to explain to Yang Yuhuan.
Princess Xianyi glanced at her brother and said with a smile: "Someone thinks that my sister is an eyesore...... However, Miss Yang has been out for a long time, and the banquet in front has been dispersed, and if she doesn't leave and wait for the door to close, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go back...... Eighteenth brother, how can you be strong? ”
Li Mao was very embarrassed, lowered her head and didn't know how to respond.
Yang Yun pondered in his heart: "King Shou is really a shy man, no wonder he will be despised by his father, his beloved wife in history is robbed by his father and he doesn't dare to fight, it's really a nest." ”
Princess Xianyi suddenly looked at Yang Yun: "I heard that there is a kind of wine in Dongdu, which can relieve worries and sorrows after drinking, and people who are not drunk with thousands of cups will fall asleep as long as they drink a pot...... This wine was made by Yang Daochang, right? ”
Yang Yun was surprised at first when Princess Xianyi broke the wine, and then he understood.
Princess Xianyi, as Li Longji's favorite daughter, is certainly not favored in vain, wherever she goes, she will definitely inquire about local delicacies and novelties and fun, and dedicate them to Li Longji, plus with Concubine Wu Hui, a powerful mother, Princess Xianyi is not weak in intelligence gathering.
"What the princess said is true, I do brew high-grade wine, but due to the movement of Luoyang, winemaking has been deserted for a while." Yang Yundao.
Princess Xianyi laughed: "It just so happens that Princess Ben wants to see if this wine is as magical as rumored, and she will come to try it if she has time." ”
Yang Wei smiled and flattered: "If the princess likes it, I will send someone to give the princess a little bit." ”
Princess Xianyi smiled and shook her head: "Princess Ben wants to know how this wine is made, she needs to see it with her own eyes...... This matter is so decided, Yang Daochang should not cherish himself with a broom when he arrives. ”
Yang Yun smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Princess Xianyi said to Li Mao again: "I'm only an eyesore here, it's better to get acquainted with each other and go back to the palace early...... The eighteenth brother is accompanied by a beautiful woman, so I won't bother much and say goodbye. ”
Li Mao wished that her sister would leave early.
The group got up to see each other off.
Yang Yun took the opportunity to propose to leave with Princess Xianyi.
Yang Yuhuan obviously didn't want to leave, Yang Yun whispered a reminder: "Sister, the wine sent to the door is not fragrant, if you want King Shou to remember you, you have to hang his appetite." ”
Yang Yuhuan is a smart person and immediately understands what Yang Yun means.
Immediately, she was reluctant to say goodbye to Li Mao.
……
……
Princess Xianyi and Yang Yun walked out of Anru Pavilion with their front and back feet.
After getting into the carriage, Yang Yuhuan complained to Yang Yun: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" They thought I was asleep, and they wouldn't notice it, but it was King Shou, and he hadn't married a concubine yet. ”
Yang Yun asked with a smile: "It's out, so don't be annoyed anymore sister...... It can be seen that King Shou is very fond of his sister, and I believe that he will soon find a chance to meet his sister again. ”
"Hmph."
Yang Yuhuan was a little dissatisfied, but the carriage was already on the way home, so she stopped arguing.
Xiaohong said worriedly: "It's really late, Yunu, if it doesn't work, I can only find an inn to spend the night tonight." ”
"It's okay, you can go to Shiro's house, he has a spare room for you to live in, if it really doesn't work, let him send you home by sending me back to the house, without knowing it."
Yang Yuhuan suddenly laughed out loud as she spoke, not because she thought it was fun to send someone away from the air, but because she was happy to come into contact with King Shou.
Of course, Yang Yun could see the thoughts of Yang Yuhuan's youngest daughter's family, and asked while catching the car: "Sister, you don't have to worry about Xiaohong, after sending you back, I will send her home immediately." Sister, what is your impression of Shouwang? ”
Yang Yuhuan scolded: "You child, what do you know? ”
Yang Yun smiled: "I just want to know, if King Shou comes to ask for a kiss, will my sister agree or refuse?" ”
A simple question stumped Yang Yuhuan.
After thinking for a while, Yang Yuhuan sighed faintly: "That is a noble prince, I am just a girl from an ordinary family, not even a daughter of a big family, I can only be regarded as a niece in the third uncle's house...... The door is not the right one, just think about it, don't worry about my sister out of thin air. ”
Yang Yun could feel the strong inferiority complex in Yang Yuhuan's heart, and the more confident and strong he behaved on weekdays, the more fragile his heart became.
Yang Yun has a number, Yang Yuhuan is looking for a marriage partner, the first thing to talk about is the other party's family background, Yang Yuhuan relies on charm, wants to get "happiness", and in Yang Yuhuan's mind, happiness is to be a master, the higher the status, the better.
"Shouwang will definitely go to his sister...... I heard that after my sister appeared at the gathering of young men and women in the Eastern Capital last time, many people wanted to propose marriage to the Yang family, but the third uncle was bent on letting his sister marry into the prince's and noble family, so he did not easily agree. Yang Yun said with a smile.
Yang Yuhuan asked, "Shiro, what else have you heard?" ”
Yang Yun said: "It's hard to say how much, but now my sister is the object of envy of everyone in the entire Dongdu celebrity circle, and now King Shou favors my sister, it seems that my sister's marriage, the third uncle will have a headache for a while." ”
……
……
Princess Xianyi returned to the Luoyang Palace overnight.
At this time, the banquet in the palace continued, and as the disaster ended, the palace resumed the scene of singing and dancing.
Princess Xianyi went directly to the inner garden to find Concubine Wu Hui, Concubine Wu Hui did not accompany Li Longji to attend the banquet that day, and when she saw her daughter coming, Concubine Wu Hui was a little unhappy, which was related to Li Longji's pampering of other concubines tonight.
No matter how favored Concubine Wu Hui is, she can't get Li Longji's exclusive favor, so she is angry but she doesn't dare to speak, as a concubine, not even the queen of the main palace, Concubine Wu Hui understands her situation.
"Mother, I saw that little Taoist, he didn't appear at the banquet, but he met at the eighteenth brother, accompanied by his sister, so beautiful."
Princess Xianyi took a piece of snack and put it in her mouth, and said with a smile while eating.
Concubine Wu Hui said: "Then is he really capable, or is he pretending?" ”
Princess Xianyi shook her head slightly: "I don't have much contact with him, how can I know such details?" But he has a bit of bearing, not like a person who sells fame and reputation, I guess he has real skills. ”
"Did you talk to him about recruiting him as a staff member?" Concubine Wu Hui asked.
"Ah, I forgot this, didn't it mean that he was valued by his father, and his father wanted to entrust him with important responsibilities? How can I compete with my father? ”
Princess Xianyi looked very childish in front of Concubine Wu Hui, which was very different from her comfortable performance in An Ruge.
Concubine Wu Hui sighed softly: "You have reached the end of the court, seeing that you are about to open a mansion, you can't look down on so many children of the noble clan in the court, and you can't find a better staff, so don't pick it first, and leave whoever you can use it with." ”
Princess Xianyi smiled and nodded: "That little path chief is very funny." ”
Concubine Wu Hui saw her daughter's somewhat fascinated expression, and frowned slightly: "That's an outsider, don't go overboard, as a princess, you must first understand what courtesy, righteousness and shame are." ”
Princess Xianyi was anxious: "Mother, what do you say, I just think that little Taoist is funny, and I said to go back to him and get wine from him...... Since my father is not here, then I will not disturb my mother's rest, and I will go back with the eighteenth brother to greet my mother. ”
"You little clever ghost, you must remember to recruit more customers, just as it is for your eighteenth brother to store talents, this time to come to the Eastern Capital, but not only your eighteenth brother...... You know what I'm talking about, right? ”
Concubine Wu Hui's face turned gloomy again.
Princess Xianyi smiled: "Doesn't the mother concubine just want the eighteenth brother to be the prince?" This is not a secret, the child knows, the child will go back to solicit guests, it is really not good, I will be a staff member for the eighteenth brother, and the eighteenth brother will definitely be the prince as the mother wishes. ”
"Why are you so ignorant, kid?"
Concubine Wu Hui reprimanded, and she couldn't scold her heart anymore, especially when she saw her daughter so delicate and knowledgeable, she felt that her daughter was smart and lovely, just like herself when she was young.
Thinking about her cowardly son again, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
……
……
Yang Yun sent Yang Yuhuan home safely, and as soon as he was sent into the boudoir, before Yang Yun could go out, a maid crept in from the door.
Fortunately, Yang Yun hid in time and was not noticed by the maid.
"Who?"
Yang Yuhuan's voice came from the mat.
Seeing that she was broken by Yang Yuhuan, the maid hurriedly withdrew and closed the door.
Yang Yuhuan didn't have time to take off his clothes, he ran to the window in shock to look out, found nothing, and whispered to Yang Yun when he came back: "Shiro is right, the third uncle and the third aunt don't believe in me, so they actually sent someone to check." ”
Yang Yun said: "Sister, hurry up and rest in your clothes, I'll go back first." ”
Yang Yuhuan smiled and said, "Except for my sister, you haven't entered other girls' boudoirs, right?" There is a ready-made one at the door, I asked, Xiaohong is very interesting to you, if you like it, even if you do good things with her, I believe she is willing. ”
"Sister, don't make fun of me."
Yang Yun was somewhat embarrassed.
In Yang Yun's opinion, Xiaohong looks like a small jasper, although her appearance is quite lovely, but it has not reached the point where Yang Yun has to pursue it, Yang Yun knows very well that her body has not grown up, and she is far from the point of talking about marriage.
Yang Yuhuan patted Yang Yun's shoulder, shook his head and said, "I don't know how to grasp the opportunity for you, don't blame my sister for not helping you if you missed this marriage...... You, it's just that you're too young to understand the goodness of your daughter's family, but Xiaohong is still very good......"
