Chapter 157: The Female University Doesn't Stay
The woman came to Zheng Jin's side, and blessed Zheng Jin, Li Bao and Zheng Ningji, and then whispered: "Yan'er has seen grandfather, father and distinguished guests, Yan didn't know that the distinguished guests arrived, and she took the liberty of inviting the distinguished guest Haihan." ”
Zheng Yan said to Zheng Yan: "Yan'er, come and see Prince Ji, he is a rare young talent in our Tang royal family." ”
Li Bao listened to the woman calling herself Yan'er, and then remembered that she looked at him after she came in, and that he had received a letter from his pen pal some time ago, saying that she would return to the capital soon.
Li Bao thought that Zheng Yan was the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, and the lintel of the family background was consistent with his original speculation about pen pals.
Li Bao thought about it again and again, and basically determined in his heart that this woman was a pen pal with whom he had a correspondence for several years, and it turned out that her full name was Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan came to Li Bao again, Ying Ying leaned down and said to Li Bao: "Zheng Yan greets King Ji, King Ri'an!" ”
With Zheng Yan's bowing, a faint fragrance hit, Li Bao was shocked when he heard it, and he was busy helping Zheng Yan. smiled and said: "Little lady, please get up quickly, Bao Suwen Zheng's poetry and book heirloom is a scholarly family." The little lady Zheng knows the etiquette so well, which shows that the Zheng family has a long style. ”
Zheng Yan raised her head and chuckled at Li Bao again, and then said a few words in her mouth, Li Bao didn't see what the mouth shape was in a hurry, and when she wanted to look at Zheng Yan again, she got up and walked to Zheng Jin's side, and said to Zheng Jin: "Grandfather wants to entertain distinguished guests here, Yan'er retreats first." ”
Zheng Yan said to Zheng Yan: "Okay, you can retreat first." ”
Li Bao was anxious, and saw Zheng Yan make a few more lip shapes at him the moment she turned around, Li Bao hurriedly looked at her mouth shape, and then saw her stretch out three white and tender fingers and shake them at her side, and then she retreated.
Since Zheng Yan went out, Li Bao's thoughts flew out with her shadow, and the next conversation with Zheng Yan basically became what Zheng Ge Lao said, and Li Bao was perfunctory.
After talking for a while, Zheng Jian and Zheng Ningji both noticed Li Bao's abnormality, Zheng Jin glanced at Zheng Ningji, Zheng Ningji understood, and then said to Li Bao: "It's not early now, a certain adult is a little sleepy, and the king should go back to the palace earlier." ”
Li Bao heard that this was a send-off, so he didn't want to waste time here, so he comforted Zheng Zheng a few words, and then said goodbye and left.
Zheng Ningji personally sent Li Bao to the gate, and then watched Li Bao get into the carriage before turning around.

In the backyard of Zheng's mansion, Zheng Yan sat in front of the dresser in the boudoir, Ruyu's hands held her pretty face to the bronze mirror, sometimes smirking and sometimes tense.
Qinglan, the maid outside the door, was a little worried, and she didn't know how her lady went to the front yard as if she was crazy. She was a little worried, and immediately walked to Yun Niang's room in the left room, she was going to tell Yun Niang that something was wrong with the lady.
Yun Niang was angry in the room, and when she felt the backyard, she found that Zheng Yan had gone to Ah Lang's study in the front yard. She shouted a few times in the back, but she didn't stop Zheng Yan, because she was depressed in her heart.
Qinglan knocked on the door, and Yun Niang shouted angrily: "Come in." ”
Qinglan pushed open the door and saw Yun Niang sitting on the bed, and immediately said timidly to Yun Niang: "Aunt Yun, go and see the lady, she seems to be a little wrong." ”
"What's wrong with the lady?" Yun Niang raised her head and asked in a muffled voice.
Qinglan listened to Yun Niang's words, and immediately said: "The lady rushed to the front yard just now, and came back just now, and when she came back, she sat in the room and didn't speak, just smirked, the slave family is afraid, the eldest lady should go and take a look." ”
When Yun Niang heard this, she immediately understood what was going on, after all, she was a person from the past, and her own lady had been thinking about this Prince Ji all these years. Today, when she heard that he was coming to the house, the lady rushed to the front yard desperately, and now she was even more worried about this look.
Yun Niang thought for a while, then stood up and walked outside, Qing Lan followed behind, followed a few steps, Qing Lan suddenly said urgently: "Auntie, this is where to go, the lady's room is here." ”
Yun Niangtou didn't go back and walked forward, only a few words came with the wind, "I went to see Ah Lang, there is a food box in a certain room, which is the lady's favorite rose cake and some pastries, you go and get it and give it to the lady to eat." ”
Qinglan looked at Yun Niang, who was in a hurry, and then thought that something was wrong with the lady, and she only felt that today was so abnormal in her young heart. Let her, a little girl who just came to Chang'an from Yingyang, have a trace of panic in this big city.
…………………………
When Zheng Ningji returned to his father's study, Zheng Ningji was sitting at the desk and was pondering, Zheng Ningji came to the table and sat down with his father, and then said, "Do you think this Ji Wang Ye is a little weird?" ”
Zheng Ji raised his head and said in a low voice: "Yes, before Yan'er came in, he was still normal." When Yan'er came in, he became abnormal. It seems that this relationship between Prince Ji and Yan'er may be a little unusual. ”
Both father and son are smart people, but no matter how smart they are, they can't figure out how the daughter of the Zheng family, who has been in the boudoir for a long time, got into a relationship with the prince in the palace.
Just when the father and son were puzzled, the voice of the attendant came from outside the door, "Back to Ah Lang, the little lady's nurse Yun Niang asks to see Ah Lang." ”
Zheng Jin's father and son glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: The mystery must still be in this Yun Niang. So Zheng Zheng said to the attendant, "Let her in." ”
Not long after, Yun Niang entered the study and bowed to Zheng Jin's father and son. Then he bowed down and stood on one side.
Zheng Ji looked at Yun Niang and said, "Yun Niang, you come to ask to see, there must be something to tell." ”
Yun Niang glanced up at Zheng Jin, looked at Zheng Ningji, and pursed the corners of her mouth. Then he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "The concubine is here for the sake of the little lady." ”
As soon as Yun Niang said this, Zheng Jin and Zheng Ningji's hearts were clear, and the father and son glanced at each other again. Turning to Yun Niang again, waiting for her to continue the narrative.
Yun Niang continued: "The little lady has a connection with the prince Ji who is visiting today, and they have often written to each other for several years. ”
Hearing this secret confided in Yun Niang's mouth shocked Zheng Jin's father and son. Zheng Jin slapped the table and said angrily: "What? "The granddaughter of the Zheng family, who has not yet left the cabinet, has secretly corresponded with the prince in the same palace for several years. How could he not be shocked that they knew nothing?
Yun Niang was so frightened that she immediately fell to her knees, trembling and not daring to say more.
After a while, Zheng Zheng Fang took a breath and said hatefully: "You said that Yan'er and Jiwang Li Bao have known each other for a long time, when did they meet?" Hurry up and recruit from the truth. Say! ”
Yun Niang listened to Ah Lang's question, and didn't dare to hide it anymore, and said in a trembling voice: "Yan'er and Prince Ji don't know each other, but they ......."
"They don't know each other, so how can they exchange letters?" Zheng Ningji, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask out loud when he heard this.
"Lang Jun still remembers when he came to Chang'an with Yan'er six years ago, Ah Lang was belittled by the first emperor, Lang Jun turned around to chase Ah Lang, and asked the concubine to take Yan'er to Chang'an to wait for Lang Jun to come back."
"Yes, when the adults were demoted to Chengmai, Hainan, I was worried about the adults, so I followed the adults. Could it be that Yan'er met King Naji at that time? ”
"No, at that time, Prince Ji had not yet been crowned king, and he became famous in one fell swoop by offering 'birthday cakes' at the Qianqiu Festival of the first emperor. After Yan'er heard about it, she was very interested in King Ji, and the prince of Naji presented the beautiful music and dance of "Thousand Hands Guanyin". It made Yan'er even more curious. ”
"Later, that day was really a coincidence, the concubine took Yan'er to spend time in a restaurant in Xuanyangfang, I don't want to know where Yan'er met King Ji for the first time, and knew the anecdote of King Ji fighting evil women in East City. Later, King Ji opened a beautiful pastry shop in Dongshi, and Yan'er was even more happy with King Naji after eating the 'birthday cake'. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Jin's father and son are clear, this auspicious king is extremely intelligent, brave and strategic, so that Yan'er, who has a high vision on weekdays, has developed from the initial curiosity, and then developed into sympathy, and now I am afraid it has become a blind date between men and women.
But to be honest, for Li Bao, Zheng Jin, who is the prime minister of the political affairs hall, also has a very high evaluation of him, this prince acts steadily, and treats people like a spring breeze. And he never reported any evil deeds in Chang'an City.
This kind of impeccable prince is extremely rare and valuable in the erosive and extravagant Tang Dynasty. Thinking of this, Zheng Ji suddenly had an idea in his heart, if he let this prince be his grandson-in-law, it would also be a good choice.
However, Zheng Zheng immediately overturned his thoughts, he was really old and confused, and he actually thought of this. He was born in the Zheng family of Yingyang, how could a "five surnames and seven families" like them marry the royal family?
Not only can't you get by, but even the elders in the clan will never agree. Besides, Yan'er already has a marriage contract, and this time she returned to Beijing to ask her to complete the marriage of her future husband. But this Yan'er had such an accident, which made his troubles increase a lot.
Zheng Ningji looked at his father and stopped talking, and asked again: "Yun Niang, you said that Yan'er and King Ji have been exchanged letters for a long time, what is going on?" ”
"This matter, the concubine didn't know at first, but then she slowly discovered the clues, so she carefully interrogated Qinglan beside Yan'er, and learned from her that since Yan'er was going back to her hometown five years ago, she actually went to the Meiya pastry shop privately, left a letter to King Naji, and agreed to exchange letters every month."
Thinking of this, Zheng Ningji woke up to why Yan'er asked people to come to Beijing every month to buy pastries in Meiyaya's store, it turned out that she had other plans.
After Yun Niang's explanation, Zheng Jin's father and son finally figured out the reason for the abnormality of the young man and woman today, but after figuring out the reason, the three of them had more sorrow in their hearts.
Zheng Ningji even sighed with a face: "It's really a woman's big mistake!" Read the latest chapter of this book, Baidu search "Late Tang Dynasty New Weather Wind and Rain"
