[Chapter 10: The First Town, Concerns of Fame]
Horse-drawn carriages slowly moved through the streets of the imperial capital.
The interior of the car was very spacious, with a pine carriage with delicate carved siding, and there was a large and comfortable soft collapse in the carriage, as well as a few brocade piers and a small table. There are mezzanine layers in the siding on both sides of the carriage, in which you can put some small things, such as small musical instruments, chess and cards, or fine wine, candied fruit, etc. The car is hung with Shu embroidery light curtains all around, and bamboo curtains are hung at the window positions. However, because it is the middle of winter, there is also a layer of cotton silk wrapped in the window.
Shen Yun and Yan Ruyu sat opposite each other in the car, and the spacious carriage was filled with a quiet fragrance.
Neither of the two people in the car spoke first.
Yan Ruyu was wearing a white silk placket jacket, a red skirt underneath, and a small waist skirt with lake green around her waist, which looked neat and free. The eyebrows are curved and the mouth is small, happy and hateful, a pair of big eyes are black and white, smart and spirited, with a shallow smile.
From the outside, I really can't tell that she is a girl with cartilage.
"Second Miss, when you get into my car, don't you just want to sit at the end of the line with me without saying a word but with a thousand tears?!" In the end, Shen Yun couldn't help but speak first.
Fang was in Yan Mansion, and Shen Yun originally made up his mind to rely on the Yan family. But Yan Ruyu asked Miaomiao to send him a piece of letterhead, with only a few words on it.
"What did you do to trap my sister in unfilial piety? If it is not what you want, please temporarily move the tiger step and talk about it outside the house! ”
When he arrived outside the house, he saw Miaomiao hurriedly whispering a few words in his ear. Shen Yun asked Shen Wu to drive and picked up Yan Ruyu in a cloak and covering his face in a secluded alley alone.
As for Fang Cheng, Zhuge Yun and others, they had already been thrown out of the Nine Clouds by Shen Yun.
On the bluestone street, the wheels rolled over and reeled.
Yan Ruyu's cloak was placed on the side of the soft couch, curled up her calves, and said with a low smile: "I took such a big risk to come out, is the Hou Ye reluctant to invite the little girl to have a drink?" ”
Shen Yun rolled his eyes helplessly, took out two crystal clear cups from the mezzanine and put them on the small table, and then took out a slender bottle with blue and white tattoos from under the soft couch and poured it full.
"When I first met you. Look at your soft and timid, but you have a bit of everyone's beautiful appearance. But now that I see you, I feel like I'm cunning, like a little fox! Shen Yun poured wine and said.
The wine is the best wine grape wine in the Western Regions, the cup is the porcelain cup of the good official kiln in Anyang, and the person is a beautiful and lovely beauty. It's a good time, too.
Yan Ruyu blinked, reached out and took a small cup and drank it all. Smiled: "Well, good wine." But what's the weird taste? ”
Shen Yun also picked up the wine glass, glanced at her and said, "You have cartilage, I asked someone to mix this wine, and something else was added to it!" ”
Yan Ruyu was stunned and said, "How do you know that I will come to you for a drink?" ”
Shen Yun said helplessly: "This wine was originally intended to be given to you as a gift after the successful robbery today." Anyway, you're also my sister-in-law! However, judging by Ling Zun's tone and attitude, this bottle of wine can only be tasted at home! ”
Yan Ruyu smiled: "Don't provoke me with words. To tell you the truth, I really didn't expect you to come up with this method, if I had known that you were so reckless, and thought that I would be able to bring my father to his knees by showing his power with a few sons of the family, I wouldn't have informed you at all! I really don't know what my sister likes about you, so you don't need your brain. It is also said that it is the Marquis of Bohai in the Han Dynasty! ”
Shen Yun was stunned. I want to tell her the content of my dowry just now, so that she can change her opinion. But then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and he didn't say a word.
Yan Ruyu saw that he didn't answer, so he took the wine bottle and filled the small glass, and drank it all again: "Actually, if you want to marry my sister, you don't need to be so troublesome, just ask His Majesty the Emperor for marriage." According to Your Majesty's favor for you......"
Speaking of this, Yan Ruyu suddenly stopped talking, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to be talking too much.
Shen Yun's eyes tightened, his eyes looked at Yan Ruyu, whose pretty face was already flushed, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”
A trace of panic flashed in Yan Ruyu's expression, her curled calves were lowered, and her skirt hung on the brocade pier, revealing a slender leg with a pair of socks.
"I ...... I'm the second miss of the Yan family! Who do you think I am? Yan Ruyu dodged Shen Yun's compelling gaze, and her flickering demeanor was simply the best interpretation of wanting to cover up.
Shen Yun suddenly took out the ink jade token from his arms and threw it in front of Yan Ruyu, and said coldly: "Yan Ruyu, I am the Major of the Yulin Secret Guard!" ”
"Poof", Yan Ruyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Come on, Boss Tu has already been furious about this once, if someone else pretends to be a secret guard of Yulin, even if he is not Ling Chi, he will not escape death, let alone pretending to be a major......"
Shen Yun curtled and withdrew the ink jade token, and then smiled.
"So, you admit that you're a Secret Guard?! What town are you from? ”
Yan Ruyu didn't avoid answering this time, but said with a straight face: "I am Major Qingzhou Wei of the first town of Yulin Secret Guard. ”
This time it was Shen Yun's turn to be surprised.
"You're Major of the Dark Guard? But you ......"
What Shen Yun wanted to talk about was her body, and she barely spoke to people, could it be that the same was the case in the secret guard?
A kind of helplessness suddenly appeared on Yan Ruyu's face, and she smiled bitterly and said, "I can't tell you these yet." Even if you have a Black Jade Token! ”
"Then you come to the imperial capital this time......"
Yan Ruyu smiled: "Not bad." It is true that I came to the imperial capital not only to attend my sister's engagement, but also to have some other things. You pretend to be a secret guard, do you know what the first town of the Yulin dark guard is mainly responsible for? ”
"Of course, the first town is external, and the second town is internal, I naturally understand this!" Don't you understand, Shen Yun almost died at the hands of the second town of the Yulin Secret Guard.
Immediately, Shen Yun's heart jumped, and he said a little uncertainly: "You are here to ...... Which country is the one who has trouble in the imperial capital? ”
Yan Ruyu poured wine again, and still drank dryly: "Who else can there be, of course it's a Roman!" ”
Shen Yun didn't pick up. Yan Ruyu didn't seem to want to say more, so the atmosphere was a little quiet.
It's not that Shen Yun is really not curious, but he has never had a bad feeling for the Romans. In the previous life, there was not much to say about the Roman Empire, even in this life, the Romans that Shen Yun encountered, such as James, Little Tony and others, were very easy to get along with, and it was difficult for Shen Yun to have a deep feeling of hatred. When he heard that there were Romans doing ghosts in the imperial capital, and they had nothing to do with him, he kept silent.
Yan Ruyu didn't know how to speak for a while. There was silence for two moments, and Yan Ruyu could only raise her glass frequently. In a small space, a man and a woman are alone. Women are always more apprehensive than men. The man was apprehensive. I will find something to do to cover my emotions. Yan Ruyu drank the whole bottle of grape wine cup after cup, and it didn't take long for her to drink the whole bottle of grape wine.
Looking at Yan Ruyu again, the blush on her pretty face has extended to the back of her head, and Yixiyi's eyes have also turned into a thin slit because of drunkenness, looking more like a cunning little fox, but this fox is really cute.
"Alright. If you drink again, you won't even be able to get out of the carriage. Besides, we don't seem to be here to drink, are we? Shen Yun pushed away Yan Ruyu, who still wanted to go to the soft couch to find wine, but heard Yan Ruyu suddenly "oops" and whispered.
Shen Yun was shocked, she had cartilage, she wouldn't be hurt with such a gentle push, right?
"What's wrong? What's wrong? It didn't hurt anywhere, did it? Shen Yun hurriedly leaned over and asked, the anxiety on his face overflowing.
Yan Ruyu smiled "poof". "Hehe, teasing you! But I'm really happy today! I can talk to you without worrying about others knowing my secret......"
Shen Yun looked at Shen Wu, who was sitting on the front of the carriage and driving, through a thick cotton curtain, they didn't speak loudly, but they were not afraid of being heard, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads.
"Second Miss, what do you want to tell me? And also. Ruyue: How is she now? Shen Yun pushed the wine glass to the side. Sitting still, he asked.
Yan Ruyu was drunk, and suddenly smiled: "Only now did I remember to ask you Ruyue?!" Why did you go early! ”
Shen Yun feigned anger. Yan Ruyu hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you." Your blatant behavior of snatching relatives really made my father very unhappy, and when I returned from the main hall, I rushed into my sister's boudoir, roared, and said that I would kill my sister......"
"Huh?" Shen Yun suddenly wanted to stand up, but hit the roof of the car with a "bang", and he grinned in pain.
Yan Ruyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I listened to it, my father was fierce, but he was reluctant to beat his sister at all, he was just throwing things and losing his temper!" Actually, my father still loves my sister very much......"
Shen Yun pouted: "Hmph, how could I let her marry a guy like Kong Shen if I love her!" ”
"What's wrong with Kong Shen? He is a talent, his family background is illustrious, because he is a descendant of Confucius, his status in the Shilin world is extremely honorable. Besides, he is about to inherit the family and become the next generation of Zichuan Marquis. These are better than you, the Marquis of Bohai, whose home was burned down, right?! Yan Ruyu unabashedly counted Shen Yundao, "What's more, compared to your reputation as a gentleman, he is a decent and righteous talent!" No matter from which point of view, my father's choice of Kong Shen is better than choosing you! It was out of love for his sister that his father chose him to be the son-in-law of the Yan family! ”
Shen Yun was speechless and said with a wry smile: "You came to embarrass me on purpose, right?!" ”
"Hmph, it's not that I'm messing with you, it's that you really should improve your reputation. Not only does my father think so, but even Erniang thinks so. I believe that in the eyes of many patriarchs, most of them will choose the former between Kong Shen and you! ”
Yan Ruyu's words made Shen Yun feel a sense of sudden enlightenment. He has always regarded this era as modern, because with the Holy Ancestor as a time-traveler, and the similarity between many things around him and modern society, he can't help but use modern behavior patterns to behave in a modern way. But after all, this is a great Han, and it is a particularly famous ancient time!
In the Eastern Han Dynasty before the appearance of the Holy Ancestor, the official system was still filial piety, and a person's reputation was directly related to his career. In time, the Holy Ancestor changed a lot of the hardware of this era, and even the culture changed slightly, but the tradition of valuing fame in his bones did not change.
Shen Yun's background is good, but his previous reputation is really not good. Even if Cao Mengde is so heroic, he was uninhibited and drove eagles and lackeys when he was young, once he gains power, he must also take care of his reputation, otherwise he will not be able to recruit real heroes and heroes.
In the eyes of those elders, Shen Yun was a stubborn person who "had neither the Three Migration Sects nor heard the court language", even if he inherited the title, he would not be accepted by those elders.
Thinking of this, Shen Yun frowned and worried.
Yan Ruyu saw that he frowned and was silent, obviously already in his heart, so he said: "Actually, you don't need to mind too much, Confucius was still a child, let alone you?!" But now you need to focus on improving your reputation. Also, my father refuses you to marry my sister, and the more important reason is the Queen Mother's side, you have experienced that incident, so you naturally understand. As for the solution, you should actually think more about that! ”
That aspect?
Shen Yun raised his eyes to look at her and nodded as if he had a sense of it.
