Wang Ji led the way, and soon the two came to a courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, a fragrance mixed with gardenias and jasmine rushed to his face, and Yang Yun looked at it and saw a large garden in front of him, and flower stands full of various flowers could be seen everywhere.

The eastern part of this courtyard is a rockery, the stone peaks are exquisitely thin, the mountains are stacked, and the beauty is magnificent; To the north is a tall and lush forest, which is presumably very quiet and cool in the summer.

At the center of the courtyard is a vast lotus pond, where lotus flowers are already blooming, with pink buds and petals contrasting with green lotuses.

On the west side of the courtyard is the Moon Gate, where Yang Yun is located, and on the south side, that is, on the right hand side, is a pavilion and pavilion, a long corridor with twists and turns, spanning the water, closely connecting the entire courtyard.

"The people who want to thank you are inside."

Wang Ji took Yang Yun through the water promenade, came to a pavilion in the south where maidservants stood with lanterns, and pointed to the inside with a smile, "This is the backyard flower hall, and the person who invited you to come is inside...... Masters, please take care of yourself, and leave for the time being, so I won't bother you. ”

Yang Yun felt like a Hongmen banquet, such as what Lin Chong accidentally broke into the White Tiger Hall, but observing Wang Ji's reaction, it was not like it.

After witnessing the figure of Wang Ji disappearing into the Moon Gate, Yang Yun shook his head, after all, even if there was an ambush inside, he was not afraid, and with his ability, he could easily fight his way out of the encirclement. Walking to the door, I saw the maid who had been waiting there for a long time come forward to give a salute: "The Taoist is polite." ”

Yang Yun smiled and asked, "What, do I look like a Taoist priest?" ”

The maid was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and when she saw Yang Yun dressed in a blue cloth dress, with a square scarf on her head, and half-worn cloth shoes on her feet, she couldn't help but smile: "Madam said that a Taoist chief came today, and the slave maid looked at you...... Not really. ”

Yang Yun thought to himself, I'm dressed in casual clothes, and it's strange that you can recognize me as a Taoist priest. So, is it a woman waiting for me inside?

What have I done that I need her to be grateful to me?

Yang Yun was puzzled, followed the maid into the flower hall, and as soon as he came in, he saw a red lantern hanging above the table in the middle of the window mat, although it could not illuminate the whole room, but under the reflection of the red veil, this claustrophobic space was bright red, and the atmosphere was slightly charming.

"The Taoist is here?"

Yang Yun was about to use his spiritual power to probe where the person was, when a woman's voice came from behind the erected screen.

This voice is not delicate, but it has its own lazy meaning, with the charm and temptation of a mature woman.

Yang Yun didn't take any further steps forward and asked, "Madame looking for me?" ”

"Xiaohuan, you stand down." The woman's voice came again.

"Yes."

The maid who led the way bowed and withdrew from the door, closing the door with her hand.

When the maid went out with the lantern, only the red lantern was left in the room, and the light was even more dim.

Yang Yun couldn't advance or retreat, knowing that the woman was behind the screen, but in the dead of night, it was still a "lady" waiting to meet, which was inconvenient.

was originally a little restrained, but suddenly woke up: "This is the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere is open, the court has just produced a female emperor, women are not so many rules and regulations, and even harmony and separation are ordinary things...... She invited me here, what am I afraid of? ”

Yang Yun took two steps forward and walked to the mat, but did not sit down.

There was a sound of light footsteps inside, and Yang Yun looked sideways and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by a maid, walking out.

This woman is about 20 years old, with apricot eyes and thin eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a slender jaw, and a typical melon seed face, and her appearance is seven or eight points similar to the actresses who starred in "Xi Shi" in later generations.

She was wearing a floor-length skirt and a thin light gauze on her upper body, which revealed the snow-white skin of her shoulders and chest under the red shimmer...... The other party is a married woman, and under the defense of men and women, even if people think he is an underage child, he can't help but be self-disciplined.

"Sit down."

The woman didn't say much, but said softly.

Yang Yun arched his hand, did not look at the woman again, and said, "I don't know what happened when Madam invited me to come?" After speaking, it is better to leave in the next place, seeing that the doors of the various squares are about to close, it is inconvenient to stay in the house. ”

The woman said: "Xiao Zhenren don't worry, today's banquet will last until midnight, and the festival marshal has ordered that the curfew will be temporarily lifted in Chengdu City, allowing guests to enter and leave the squares...... Even guests who are drunk and bad can stay in the house, and everything will be arranged. ”

Originally, Yang Yun didn't think anything of it, but when he heard this, his heart set off a trace of waves.

Say thank you to me, but I don't even know who you are, so if you come up and say it, let me stay in the house, and then look at what you're wearing, do you want to repay your kindness?

Yang Yun didn't dare to think further.

At his age at this time, although he has no desire for many things, he is always a fourteen-year-old boy, his body is almost fully developed, and he has the thinking of an adult.

The woman may have seen Yang Yun's restraint and beckoned again: "Xiao Zhenren just sit down, we have something to say slowly." ”

Yang Yun didn't want to show timidity, so he raised his hand: "Madam, please." ”

The woman sat down at the table first, Yang Yun knelt down and glanced at the woman, only to see the other party gently lifting her sideburns, adding a bit of charm.

Yang Yun thought about it in his heart: "This woman is not very old, it stands to reason that she will not be the wife or concubine of the royal family, but it is difficult to guarantee that she is not the wife and concubine of those half-brothers of the royal family......"

The woman took the lead in explaining her doubts: "Thanks to the help of Xiao Zhenren and the respected teacher, my husband made meritorious contributions in the Battle of Jinchuan, and now he is stranded on the front line in Yazhou and has not returned, so he can only come forward as a concubine to express his gratitude to Xiao Zhenren." ”

In this way, Yang Yun no longer has to think nonsense, knowing that the other party is Wang Qian, the sister of the royal family.

Yang Yun is not very familiar with the internal situation of the Wang family, and only knows that Wang Ji has a half-sister Wang Qian, and the relationship between sister and brother is quite good.

Although Wang Qian is not a descendant, she is deeply loved by Wang Yu, but Wang Yu is very dissatisfied with the choice of mates, and she actually married Jiang Mingchong, the son of the late general Jiang Zhuo of the DPRK and the central government, despite the opposition of the family.

Yang Yunxin said: "I heard that kid from Wang Ji say that his father didn't like Jiang Mingchong very much, and this time he specially pulled Jiang Mingchong to the front line of Jinchuan and entrusted him with a dangerous task, but he didn't want Jiang Mingchong to make a contribution unexpectedly...... In this way, Wang Qian thanked me for the gunpowder I made. ”

Yang Yun saluted: "I was just entrusted by Wang Jiedu to make fire charms in Shifang County and Chengdu workshops, as for the success or failure of the front-line war has nothing to do with me, Madame really doesn't need to thank me." ”

"The little real person is polite."

Wang Qian smiled faintly, "The concubine is very aware of her husband's situation on the front line in Yazhou, if it weren't for the help of the spell made by Xiao Zhenren, let alone winning and gaining military merits, I am afraid that even my life would be ...... Alas! It's only to blame my husband's family for being thin, his family died early, and now he doesn't have much property in Luoyang, and my father is very picky about his husband......"

Wang Qian talked about the old things of the Wang family and the Jiang family, like a few treasures, and told them eloquently.

Yang Yun didn't know a lot of things, and wondered in his heart: "For this woman, I have always been an outsider, why did she tell the family ugliness in front of me?" ”

Wang Qian talked for a long time, and finally concluded with tears in her eyes: "...... In short, everything is a misfortune for the family, fortunately with the help of the little real person, if you don't express your gratitude, the concubine is uneasy. ”

Yang Yun said: "Actually, you don't have to. ”

Wang Qian beckoned, and the little maid standing behind her immediately entered the inner hall of the flower hall, and when she came out again, she had an extra wooden box in her hand and put it on the table.

Wang Qian opened it herself, and it was not gold and silver jewelry, but some simple jewelry, as well as beads and other things, plus some copper coins, which looked quite fragmentary.

Wang Qian apologized: "The concubine came in a hurry from her home in Luoyang, and when she arrived in Chengdu, she learned that her husband had made meritorious contributions in front of her, and she didn't have time to prepare. ”

If it was given by someone else, Yang Yun would definitely "laugh at it" because he was short of money.

Everything he is doing now is to prepare for going to Luoyang to see Yang Yuhuan in the future, and the more money in his pocket, the better.

But now that Wang Qian gave it, Yang Yun hesitated.

Whether these gifts are worth anything else is another matter, but it can basically be determined that they are Wang Qian's belongings.

"The Wang family is very rich, but the daughter who marries out is equal to the water that is spilled, she said that the Jiang family is in the middle of the road, how can I be embarrassed to accept her gift?"

Yang Yun refused: "Madame doesn't have to, I have always pursued the principle of being a man without merit, I made a spell for Wang Jiedu, even if there is merit to be rewarded, it should be the court to present the award, as for Madame's kindness, I understand it, please Madame take back the gift." ”

"Oh!?"

Wang Qian didn't expect that a childish young man would act so principledly, and after savoring Yang Yun's words, he shook his head and sighed lightly: "I didn't expect that Xiaodao Chang not only has great skills, but also has such an extraordinary bearing, no wonder my brother respects you." ”

Wang Qian's gaze was scorching with appreciation, her beautiful eyes looked forward to life, Yang Yun looked at it as if she had been struck by lightning, and secretly complained in her heart: "This woman is too beautiful, her eyes are still discharged from time to time, and those who don't know still think she is interesting to me." ”

Yang Yun had the soul of an adult man living in his body, and he hurriedly avoided Wang Qian's very seductive gaze, and got up to salute: "If there is nothing else to do, I will leave here." ”

Wang Qian said in surprise: "Xiao Zhenren is leaving?" In fact, the concubine still wants to talk to you, you ...... just left, and the concubine really didn't want to go. ”

Yang Yun said calmly: "I have received the intention expressed by Madame, if I can help Madame in the future...... There is also the place where General Jiang must be served. ”

"It's not too early, I'll take my leave."

Wang Qian saw that Yang Yun had made up her mind, and did not stop her, nor did she mention the gift-giving, perhaps because she felt that the little thing she took out was really unacceptable.

Beckoned the maid to send Yang Yun out of the door, and Wang Qian stood at the door of the flower hall to see him off.

Yang Yun walked to the moon gate and subconsciously looked back, Wang Qian was still waving at him, looking very polite, and for some reason there was a touch of amazement in his heart.
