After taking a shower and changing into fragrant and clean clothes, Wang Yuan was comfortable. Ah Luo tied his hair in a bun for him and coaxed Wang Yuan out of the courtyard like a child. Ah Luo knew that Wang Yuan would stay here on the first night, and he would not leave until noon, and he would be spoken to when he turned back. If others don't say it, Li Xin'er will inevitably say a few sarcastic words with a gun and a stick. She is an eldest woman, although Wang Yuan came out of her last night, but it is not suitable after all.

Wang Yuan Shi Shiran returned to his yard along the back house path, Li Xin'er was teasing the birds under the porch, and when she saw Wang Yuan coming in, she hurriedly got up and stepped forward.

"Erlang, you're up, I'm waiting for you to be in a hurry." Li Xin'er complained.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "What's the matter, waiting in a hurry?" ”

Li Xin'er said: "The people who came to see you lined up, Third Brother Huang came in and had a good chance to pass through, and he didn't dare to wake you up when he knew you were asleep." Ah Luo and the others are really, just came back, and their bodies haven't recovered yet, they are like tigers and wolves, so unruly. I'm going to knock them on when I get back to this. There's always a rule in the house, what is that? What kind of system will it become? ”

Wang Yuan knew that Li Xin'er was playing on the topic, so he hurriedly pulled her into the room and said softly: "That's it, it's none of their business, I went crazy last night, why do you want to talk so much in front of your subordinates." I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm like an ascetic outside, so I'm naturally indulgent when I get home. If you keep talking like that, I'll be ashamed. ”

Li Xin'er saw that Wang Yuan said pitifully, and sighed: "I'm not jealous, this back house really has to set a rule." You can't be so unruly and unruly. Would you like some snacks? I'm going to get you some to eat and then I'm going to meet you?" ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "What kind of guest do you see?" I don't see anyone today, I just want to stay at home for a day. These guys don't know how to be considerate, I just came back, obviously to get together with my family, but I came to make noise. ”

Li Xin'er said: "Don't you see it?" I've heard that Prince Feng has returned to Chengdu and is waiting to see you. And Wei Jiansu and them, there are some big things that you need to decide. ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "Li Heng has returned to Chengdu?" He had a good nose and knew I was back so quickly. I'm afraid I've been waiting for me in Chengdu for a long time. But at this moment, I don't want to see him for the time being, so I asked people to go to the front house and tell Huang San that I won't see any guests today, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. I don't eat refreshments anymore, I go to my cousin in the plum garden, she must have something delicious there. ”

Li Xin'er smacked her lips and said, "You still know to go to see your cousin, too, you were busy enough last night, and your cousin was left behind." ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said: "Here it is again, it seems that I am not coming back, I should never come back outside." ”

Li Xin'er saw that Wang Yuan's face was already displeased, and she hurriedly slowed down and said, "That's it, even if I talk too much, I'll make you unhappy again." I'm just admonishing you, as your wife. I don't want to annoy you either. After this, there are more and more people in the house, and there are no rules, won't it become a pot of porridge in the future? ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "Did you hear something?" ”

Li Xin'er turned around and walked out, and said, "What do I know?" I don't know anything about you hooking up with the eldest lady of the Cui family in Yangzhou. ”

Wang Yuan looked at her back in amazement, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. At this time, I can understand why Li Xin'er is a little wrong, it seems that the matter between Yangzhou and Cui Ruoyu has been reported by the talkative people around her. It's either Tan Ping or Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing is more likely, because he and Huang Xing's matter needs Li Xin'er to call the shots for Zhang Luo, and he must have come to Li Xin'er with a sycophant.

"Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing, I'll clean you up when I turn around. This is worth it, and I'm about to grow into a tongue woman. Wang Yuan scolded viciously, raised his feet and went out to the east, to the plum garden.

……

The plum garden is still as quiet and peaceful as in the past, Wang Yuan approached the house and came to the porch, and saw a pot of flowers and trees neatly placed under the porch, neatly trimmed. A few pots of flowers and plants had bloomed, but they were not gorgeous flowers, but some plain flowers, which even Wang Yuan couldn't name, and they looked like some wild flowers. This is also the style of Gongsun Lan.

The room was quiet, Wang Yuan walked in, and did not find Gongsun Lan's figure. Seeing that the bamboo curtain was rolled up and the door was open, Wang Yuan tiptoed over and looked inside. But under the long window dappled with sunlight, Gongsun Lan was sitting cross-legged on a futon, her eyes lowered, her fingers like orchids, and she was meditating and self-cultivating.

Wang Yuan stubbornly paused, quietly approached Gongsun Lan's side, stretched out his hands like tiger claws, and grabbed Gongsun Lan's towering chest. Suddenly, a cold light flashed, Wang Yuan stood stiffly in place, and a dagger with cold light fell on Wang Yuan's chest at some point.

Gongsun Lan slowly opened her eyes, exhaled a breath of fragrant air, and said lightly: "The carving insect skill also dares to play in front of me." With a flick of the wrist, the dagger vanished.

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "How can such a trick work in front of my cousin, hey, can't my cousin pretend not to know that I am coming?" It's really boring. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled slightly, got up slowly, looked at Wang Yuan and said, "There are others who are interesting, and I don't have anything interesting here." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "My cousin has something to say, are you complaining that I didn't come to my cousin last night?" Listening to this tone, there is some resentment of a young woman. ”

Gongsun Lan's face turned red, and she said: "There is no serious, if you don't come, I will be quiet, who rarely comes." ”

Wang Yuan smiled, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hug Gongsun Lan's slender waist, looked at Gongsun Lan's beautiful eyes and whispered: "Cousin, do you know how much I miss you?" ”

Gongsun Lan smiled slightly: "Don't come and coax me." ”

Wang Yuan didn't answer, and leaned into his mouth. Gongsun Lan sighed and let Wang Yuan kiss her. After intertwining his lips and teeth for a long time, seeing Wang Yuan's hands and feet touching each other, Gongsun Lan pushed Wang Yuan away and said, "In broad daylight, don't mess around." Ping'er went to play in the front yard and will be back in a while. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "I said why didn't I see this kid." ”

Gongsun Lan snorted coldly: "I also said, Ping'er went to greet you in the morning, but you still fell asleep." Ping'er came back to tell me that his father promised to accompany him to practice swords this morning, but he didn't get up from his sleep. You said that you were a father, and you agreed to him last night, I'm afraid that the madness of the night will be thrown out of the clouds. ”

Wang Yuan raised his forehead and said in amazement: "Oh, I really forgot, I have to apologize to him when I go back." We must be parents to do what we say, how can we talk without words. ”

"That's what it sounds like." Gongsun Lan glanced at Wang Yuan, walked slowly to the hall, wiped the chair with a white cloth and said, "Erlang sit, I'll make you tea." ”

Wang Yuan sat down and said with a smile: "You said that you are also my Wang Yuan's wife, and there are countless servants in the family, why do you have to do everything yourself." How nice it would be to find a few slaves and maidservants to serve you. ”

Gongsun Lan stretched out her slender fingers and took out the tea bag from the bamboo tube, made the tea for Wang Yuan, and said in her mouth: "I like Qingjing, you don't know." Besides, I'm not from a big family, I can do everything myself, but why do I need others to serve me, don't I have no hands or feet? ”

Wang Yuan was speechless for a while, saying that he was now accustomed to the dignity and humility of this era, and felt that it was a matter of course to have servants to serve. is Gongsun Lan, although she is a person of this era, she can maintain her true colors, and she has lived alone from the beginning and refuses to be served. It seems that he has indeed degenerated, and has forgotten the old ideas of what everyone is equal and what is born without dignity.

"Good tea. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so I'm bothering my cousin to give me something to eat. Wang Yuan didn't laugh.

Gongsun Lan glanced at him, moved inside, and after a while, took out the snack box and placed it in front of Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and threw the snack in his mouth and chewed it, then ate several delicious snacks with tea, and praised it in his mouth.

Gongsun Lan saw Wang Yuan's sweet food, and she was also happy in her heart. He smiled and asked, "I heard that there are a bunch of people waiting to see you in the front house, why don't you go and meet people?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "I'm coming to see my cousin, what are they?" ”

Gongsun Lan took a sip and said, "Hugh is here to play tricks and be serious." I heard Zhao Qing and Tan Ping say last night, how dangerous it is to go south this time, right? Cui's seems to have almost killed you, right? I heard that you were wounded a dozen times while defending the city, right? ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Tan Ping and Zhao Qing are getting more and more talkative, these two guys are really big mouths." ”

Gongsun Lan said: "After you and Xin'er slept last night, it was Xinhui's sister who pulled the two generals to question, of course they didn't dare to hide it. You're so busy, how dare others disturb you? If you want to know what you have been through, you have to ask the two generals. ”

Wang Yuan said with a hippie smile: "My cousin speaks sourly, what does it mean to be busy?" I'm going to have a busy time with my cousin tonight, okay? ”

Gongsun Lan scolded: "You just don't want to speak well." What happened to the injuries on the body? I'll see. ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's all so neat, there's nothing to see." The battle to defend Yangzhou was really dangerous, and I was almost desperate at that time. The rebels attacked the city, but there was no one at hand to stop them. I missed my cousin so much that I regretted not bringing her with me. If my cousin were there, she would be able to kill them. ”

Gongsun Lan feigned anger and said, "It turns out that you thought of me because of this." ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "No, no, you will also ring at other times." I want to think more during the day and more at night. ”

"Do you miss me when you're messing around with that Miss Cui?" Gongsun Lan asked with a smile.

Wang Yuan was embarrassed and speechless, knowing that this matter would definitely not be hidden.

Seeing Wang Yuan's embarrassment, Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "I'm not jealous, you befriended the eldest lady of the Cui family, do you want to use this to win over the Cui family?" Do a good job in the relationship with the wealthy families in the southeast? ”

Wang Yuan took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "It's not all, but this is also one of the reasons." Don't you think I should do that? ”

Gongsun Lan looked at Wang Yuan quietly and said, "You have your thoughts, but I don't want to make irresponsible comments." If you can really win over Cui's family, you might as well do it. It's just that...... People are innocent women, you can't live up to them. Wouldn't it be unfair if you didn't like people, or if it was just for profit. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "It's still cousin Mingli, Xin'er gave me a look just now, and I guess I know about it." In fact, I didn't want to do this at first, until I knew that Li Mao had already made many promises to the Cui family, and also wanted to accept Miss Cui as a concubine, so as to consolidate the relationship with the Cui family, I decided to snatch love with a knife. If you want to say that this Miss Cui is actually a good girl who is sensible and righteous, I also like her a lot. ”

Gongsun Lan was surprised: "Li Mao actually did this, he acted quickly." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, Li Mao is not stupid, he knows that after winning over several wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, he will have the guarantee of money and food." It's just that he was too smart, and he actually wanted to provoke chaos within the Cui family, so as not to be controlled by the Cui family in the future. He also thought too far ahead, which backfired. After the matter was revealed, Cui Daoyuan was so angry that he reached a preliminary agreement with me. ”

Gongsun Lan didn't know why, Wang Yuan told Gongsun Lan everything that happened in Yangzhou City in a few words, and Gongsun Lan said quietly after listening: "This is not Li Mao's idea, this should be Li Guangbi's idea." Li Guangbi was afraid that after the Cui family was introduced into the court, his position would not be guaranteed, so he buried a thorn in advance. Unexpectedly, it backfired. God forbid, you didn't drink that tea that night, or you would have died in the fire. If I had known this, I should have gone with you, and then there would be no such danger. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "It is indeed the will of heaven, and I was shocked into a cold sweat afterwards." After the fire that night, I had a showdown with Cui Daoyuan, and Cui Daoyuan was also very angry when he learned that the imperial court was making trouble in his Cui family. He may not be able to help me, but he at least promised me not to help me. This has served my purpose. ”

Gongsun Lan muttered: "Don't believe in Cui Daoyuan too much, it's good to always be vigilant against these wealthy families." They only think about themselves and may change their minds at any time. However, from the current point of view, Cui Daoyuan will not fully assist Li Mao for the time being, because he is waiting. So, what are you going to do next? Although the rebellion is peaceful, I am afraid that the situation will be even more chaotic. ”

Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "I know, although I want to live a peaceful life, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so." Instead of waiting for Li Mao to attack me with full wings, it is better for me to take the initiative. ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "How to attack?" Rebelled? ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "I want to, but I can't do this." At this moment, the army is raised, and the division is unknown. There has to be a reason to explain the past. Don't see that I am now being glorified, and all the people are worshipped. Once I rebelled, it would be a different kind of public opinion. I can't learn from An Lushan. Moreover, even if I raise troops, it will not be my turn to raise troops first, I have to let Li Mao attack me first, so that I can counterattack. It was him, not me, who was burdened with public opinion like that. ”

Gongsun Lan said softly: "You mean, let Li Heng and them rebel first?" ”

Wang Yuan looked at Gongsun Lan quietly and said: "Exactly, Li Hui and Li Pu have more reasons to raise troops, because their surname is Li, and they are qualified to fight for the throne." ”

Gongsun Lan said: "If I guess correctly, you are going to use the chess piece of the Emperor Taishang." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Those who know me, cousin too." ”

……

At noon, Wang Yuan had lunch in the plum garden, Gongsun Lan was used to taking a nap in the afternoon, but Wang Yuan was not sleepy. It was inconvenient to pester Gongsun Lan in broad daylight, so he told Gongsun Lan that he was coming at night and said goodbye.

Wang Yuan came to the apricot orchard in the east after leaving the plum garden, and until now when he returned home yesterday, Wang Yuan has not met with Mrs. Qin Guo and Sister Yang Yuhuan, that is because it is inconvenient for many people to be mixed. If she doesn't go now, Mrs. Qin Guo is afraid that she will be angry.

The courtyard door was empty, and Wang Yuan knocked lightly a few times and no one answered, so he stretched out his hand to push the door and walked in. As soon as I entered the yard, a fragrant atmosphere came to my nose, a sea of apricot blossoms in front of me, butterflies and bees dancing in the sun, warm and extraordinary. Although it is the middle of April, the apricot blossoms in the apricot orchard have passed the full blooming period, but the branches are still full of red stamens, colorful like the sun. The ground under the apricot tree is covered with a carpet of colorful petals, which are fallen apricot blossom petals. This situation and this scene made Wang Yuan greatly admired.

Wang Yuan walked slowly along the path between the flowers and trees in the direction of the main house, and suddenly seemed to hear the sound of the sea of flowers, Wang Yuan was very strange, so the cat bent into the sea of flowers and walked in the direction of the sound.

Not long after, among the dense flower branches in the east, Wang Yuan saw a beautiful figure who was busy under the flower trees. The direction Wang Yuan is facing is her back, and the perfect buttocks under the floral long skirt are facing her, and the silhouette is extremely beautiful. Wang Yuan suddenly knew who this was.

"Miss Yuhuan, what are you doing here?" Wang Yuan walked behind the woman and asked through the bunches of flowers on an apricot tree.

The woman shuddered, straightened up, and looked back in amazement. Her beautiful and delicate face was full of horror. That woman was Yang Yuhuan.

"Erlang, why are you?" Yang Yuhuan's mouth opened slightly, and he asked in surprise.

Wang Yuan approached with a smile and said with a smile: "What? Can't it be me? ”

Yang Yuhuan hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, suddenly exclaimed, reached out to take the white shawl on the flower branch, and draped it on his body in a panic. Only then did Wang Yuan find that Yang Yuhuan was only wearing a red bandeau on his upper body, and his plump snow-white shoulders and large chest muscles were exposed, and the picture was glamorous and attractive.

"Is it hot?" Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Yang Yuhuan had a few drops of fragrant sweat on his red face, and said in a low voice: "The spring sun is too hot, and there is no wind here, I thought that no one would come here, so I ...... it."

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, except for me, no one here will come." It doesn't hurt that the jade ring is shirtless. ”

Yang Yuhuan's face was red, Wang Yuan's words were explicit and provocative, and Yang Yuhuan couldn't answer except for being silent with a red face
