"Master Shangshu, do you think Taifu Pei will trust you again?" I raised my eyes slightly, my eyebrows cold.

Yang Yong's footsteps paused, clenched his fists and did not speak.

"You don't know the purpose of the emperor's arrangement of this marriage, right? If this marriage is ruined, do you think the emperor will keep you? ”

"You!" Yang Yong turned his head and glared at me angrily, his face turned slightly pale, "You dare to threaten the old man?" ”

"The emperor wants you to be his right-hand man, provided that you are trustworthy and loyal enough, and you will not be in the twilight of Qin, and this marriage is your bargaining chip to show your loyalty."

"From the moment the marriage decree was issued, you didn't have a chance to raise your head in front of Pei Lu, but the emperor still gave you a chance to choose after all."

My eyes were slightly gloomy, and I looked at Yang Yong expressionlessly, "But I want you to understand one thing, whether you choose Pei Lu or the emperor, this appearance is not something you can drink around." ”

"Your life is only in the hands of your own minister." I stretched out my hand, and as soon as my five fingers loosened, the red lotus order fell from my palm and fell on a slender red thread.

Wobbly, shimmering red.

Yang Yong looked at the Red Lotus Order in his hand with a pale face, and finally lowered his head and knelt in front of me.

"Lord Shen Xiang, Xiaguan...... Willing to be loyal to the emperor, do your best, and die. ”

I got up from my seat, walked slowly over to him, and stretched out my hands to lift her up.

"Lord Shangshu, your sacrifice may not be a sacrifice, you think that the current forbearance may not be forbearance, you must know that the road you go forward will be a broad road."

Yang Yong didn't look up at me, but from his tense body, I could still see his unwillingness and anger.

But he was helpless against me after all, because in this era, everyone has to bow to the imperial power.

I climbed up, kept climbing, climbed to the current position, so that I could have a breather under such a strict system, and I could have a little bit of myself.

Three auspicious firecrackers have sounded, crackling firecrackers have also begun to be lively, festive and festively burning, people laughing, celebrating, the sky is full of red silk flying flowers, shocked eyes full of joy.

"Master, master!" The housekeeper hurriedly came, with a happy smile on his face, "The wedding sedan chair has arrived, and the young lady should come out and get on the sedan chair." ”

Yang Yong subconsciously looked up at me, and I smiled at him, but there was a cold meaning in my eyes.

"Okay, the old man is here." Yang Yong knew that he had been set into a trap, and now he couldn't regret it if he wanted to, so he could only endure all kinds of unwillingness in his heart and follow my intentions.

"Lord Shangshu rest assured, love to marry in season, and this minister will definitely congratulate each other generously." I walked up to him and whispered a word, and then walked away, first to the living room.

"Qingzhi, how did you talk to Yang Shangshu? He couldn't have been kicked out, right? "As soon as Cai Yu saw me on the road, he immediately came over.

I gave him a blank look, snorted, and didn't speak.

"Shen Xiang...... "Yang Huaishu also saw me, he immediately withdrew from the guests and walked towards me, but as soon as he was halfway through, Yang Yong walked in from outside the guest hall.

At this time, the bride was also helped out by the bride.

Everyone looked at the bride, watched her walk from the outside of the hall to the center of the hall, and then watched her bend down and bow goodbye to her father.

"Godfather, godmother, my daughter is gone, I can't take care of my knees in the future, serve the second elder, and hope that the second elder will take care of his health." The bride prostrates.

"......" Mrs. Yang froze, and then she was about to exclaim, but fortunately, Yang Yong stopped her in time.

However, not only Mrs. Yang, but also many of the guests present, except for a few of us who knew the inside story, almost all of them were shocked, and the hall was in an uproar.

What's going on? When did Yang Mansion have a god lady? Isn't it Yang Lan, the second lady of the Yang Mansion, who is married today?

This second lady is infatuated with General Jiang Xiao, she didn't even want her own reputation for him, how can she let others be General Jiang Xiao's bride now?

It's a rare thing.

The uproar in the hall became louder and louder, Yang Yong saw that the guests were talking about it, so he had to get up from the chair in person, bent down to help the bride on the ground, and reluctantly smiled and said, "Yin'er, although you are our daughter, we have always treated you as our own daughter, and now that you are about to get married, we have a word to give you." ”

"Godfather, please speak."

"If you are a wife, be virtuous and benevolent, keep your duty, take care of your husband, and take care of yourself." Yang Yong said earnestly.

"Yes, my daughter has written it down."

"Master, the auspicious time to get on the sedan chair has arrived." No matter what happened to this wedding, the bride still dutifully stepped forward to remind Yang Yong.

Yang Yong nodded and let the bride take the bride away.

"Get up!"

Suona, gongs and drums, red silk flowers, sweet candy...... All the laughter and laughter gradually drifted away with the departure of the sedan chair.

Cai Yu and Huaishu both went to Jiang Mansion and Xijiu, and I didn't go with them under the pretext of having something.

The heavy snow in the capital has been falling for many days, but it happened to be sunny today, and the faint and bright sunlight shone down from the sky, spreading on the white snow, a little dazzling, but pure enough. Peerless Tang Gate fo

Pushing open the door that had been locked for a long time, I walked in slowly.

Yang Lan has woken up.

Her face was covered with faded makeup and dry tear stains.

The eyes are empty and lifeless.

She didn't know me, and she didn't react at all when she saw me walk in so openly.

"Miss Yang." I spoke first.

Yang Lan seemed to be pulled back to her senses by my soft call, she moved her stiff body and looked up at me.

"Miss Yang."

I walked up to her and leaned over to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but as if she had been frightened suddenly, she pushed me out and shrunk myself to the corner of the bed, trembling and her face like hoarfrost.

"You go away, you go away, you go away!"

"Don't touch me, don't touch me!"

"You go away!"

Tears suddenly rolled down from the corners of her eyes like beads of broken thread, and she broke down and cried, almost unable to contain herself.

I looked at her like this, and there was nothing to say except a sigh.

Yang Lan's "pain" can be said to be caused by me, I will inevitably feel sorry for her, I just want to see her when I come here today.

Turning around, I walked to the window and gently pushed open the window that had been sealed.

The cool winter breeze mixed with the chill of the snow blew in through the window, and the orchid veil in the house gently swayed with the cold wind, hazy and dark, and the orchids bloomed.

"I want your brother to lock you up today." I turned to look at her, "I also came up with this trick, so that you can't be the bride of the little general, if you want to hate in the future, hate me." ”

Yang Lan was stunned, but the next moment she laughed, and the tears that had not yet fallen from the corners of her eyes slipped down her cheeks.

"I, Yang Lan, have offended you somewhere, and I want you to humiliate me like this!"

Yang Lan stared at me hatefully, but the only thing I could do was say sorry.

"You have no place to offend me, I am sorry for you." I lowered my eyes, "I took advantage of your affection for the little general." ”

"You bastard!" Yang Lan was finally angry, picked up the soft pillow at hand and smashed it on my body like a vent, this was not enough, the teapot and teacup on the table, the jade bracelet and the hairpin on the dresser, almost everything she could pick up leaned on her and smashed it on my body.

But even so, she fell to the ground crying.

"Do you know, he's my dream, he's my dream, why are you, why are you......"

"I've liked him for ten years, ten years, ......"

"But he just won't even look at me......"

All the strands of love seemed to melt into her tears, all crystal and broken.

Love, so expectation, so fantasy, so deceive yourself over and over again, thinking that he loves himself and likes himself, so he will marry himself.

However, love is sometimes a mirror, you can't touch it, you can't catch it, you can't get it, you can't get it, you can't hope for it.

"Miss Yang." I approached her, crouched down, took out a white handkerchief and handed it to her, "Don't be sad." ”

Yang Lan shrank back and refused to take the handkerchief I handed her.

"In this world, some people just can't ask for it, but some people should be cherished." I sighed and sat down on the floor like her.

"Yue Lao will not lead every red thread to a lover." I stretched out my hand and gently wiped the tears from her face, "There is always more suffering than joy in the world, it is impossible for everyone to be happy, everything can be happy, you have been persisting for him for ten years, it is enough." ”

Yang Lan hugged her knees and buried her head in the crook of her arm, she didn't want to listen to me, let alone pay attention to the meaning of my words.

She wanted to be alone.

I could sense her thoughts, and after sitting quietly with her for a while, I got up and left the room.

Outside is still lively and festive, everyone is happy for this marriage, just like this cold and cold snowflake, the sun shines, pure white and flawless, everyone admires.

"Brother Cai, what did you tell my sister that day, since she agreed to you so easily and came to the capital with you?" In the lobby of Jiang's mansion, after three rounds of drinking, Yun Sheng finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked Cai Yu, who was a little drunk.

"It's nothing," Cai Yu waved his hand, hugged the wine jar and took another sip, "It's Qingzhi's bad idea, he asked me to lie to your sister, saying that the second lady of the Yang Mansion has already had a sweetheart, and she will definitely resist disrespect on the day she gets married, plus he Wei Ning's unyielding temperament...... The emperor was furious and exterminated his family, right in front of him. ”

"I see." Yun Sheng nodded clearly, and suddenly he asked again, "What about Shen Xiang?" On such a happy day, why didn't I see her? ”

"Ha, she escaped with the excuse of knowing the wedding banquet, and now, I'm afraid that she is going to do something alone, anyway, she likes to carry everything alone......"
