Chapter 111: Confession
The sobbing villain Sanbao asked him to speak more carefully, and sent him to lead the horse to the stable, Chen Yingliang cautiously entered his home, and looked into the living room in the front yard, the former dream goddess Yang Yuer was dressed in emerald green clothes, and was really sitting in her own home, sipping tea, and sitting next to an old man who was also holding a tea bowl, it was the white-haired old man with a duck voice next to Yang Yuer when Chen Yingliang met Yang Yuer for the first time.
Yang Yuer sat at home and waited for her return, if this situation was changed to the past, Chen Yingliang would definitely be ecstatic and overjoyed, but now ......, Chen Yingliang, who has suddenly had a fiancΓ©e, encountered such a situation, but he was completely overwhelmed, his steps were like a thousand catties, and he didn't enter the living room for half a day. In the end, the old man who was still sipping tea first discovered Chen Yingliang, stood up and shouted in the throat of the familiar male duck: "Deputy Chen, I'm disturbed, I took the liberty to come to the door, do you remember me?" We met in the metropolis at the beginning. β
"Of course I do." Chen Yingliang nodded very reluctantly, and said with a forced smile: "It's just that I was in a hurry when we met last time, and I haven't had time to ask the uncle's surname." β
"My surname is Xie, my name is Xie Mudong, you can call me by my name directly." The old man replied cheerfully.
"Shebber." Chen Yingliang was very polite and respectful to the old eunuch Xie Mudong, and then strode into the hall, bowed to Yang Yu'er, who had also gotten up, and shouted, "Miss Yang, it's been a long time, and the hospitality is not considerate, and I ask the girl to forgive me." β
"Deputy Chen is polite, it was the little girl who took the liberty to disturb, I should ask you for forgiveness." Yang Yu'er's words and deeds were as dignified and polite as ever, and Sven said: "The little girl came to the door today to thank the deputy leader, and thank the deputy leader for saving her last time." β
"Don't say that, girl." Chen Yingliang hurriedly waved his hand, and said sincerely: "Actually, it should be me to thank you, two days ago, if it wasn't for the girl's help, I am afraid that the lower official has been removed from his official position." β
Yang Yu'er's pretty face showed a look of surprise, but he did not deny that he had secretly helped Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang saw Yang Yu'er's doubts, and saw that there was no one else on the left and right except Xie Mudong, so he directly whispered: "Weichen happened to know that it was Jiang Cairen Jiang Niangniang who persuaded me to be summoned by the saint two days ago, and afterwards I found out that Jiang Niangniang is Your Royal Highness the Princess, so I know about it." β
Yang Yu'er suddenly showed some moving smiles, and chuckled: "Vice President Chen's news is really well-informed, even the things in the palace are so clear, but the deputy rate misunderstood, it was not my idea to save you in two days, it was my mother, I didn't say anything, so if the deputy rate wants to thank you, I should thank my mother." β
Seeing that Yang Yu'er's expression did not seem to be telling a lie, Chen Yingliang, who had been in the chest for a long time in this matter, was suddenly confused - Chen Yingliang has always been very confident in his handsome and chic and Yushu Linfeng, but he was really not confident that his charm could be so great that the concubines of Emperor Yang of Sui, who had never met before, took the risk to rescue him. Surprised, Chen Yingliang simply asked directly: "Why?" Weichen and Jiang Niangniang don't know each other, why did she save me? β
Yang Yu'er refused to answer, and chose to talk about him, pretending to look at the left and right, and said: "Deputy Chen, your house is very good, it is the first time for me to come to Vice President Chen, I wonder if the deputy can lead the little girl to visit?" β
The good things that are usually unwanted, this time Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess ordered, the lower officials should obey their orders, but the lower officials have just moved here, and the family has not been taken care of much, and it is a little messy, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will not dislike it." β
"It's okay, I'll just take a look." Yang Yu'er casually perfunctory, then turned to Xie Mudong next to him and ordered: "Uncle Xie, you wait for me here, I'll take a look casually, and I'll be back in a while." β
"Princess, please hurry, it's not too early." Xie Mudong reminded carefully. Yang Yu'er nodded, and then followed Chen Yingliang into the backyard.
It has only been more than half a month since he moved into his new home, Chen Yingliang's new home is indeed quite messy, especially in the garden, but Yang Yuer just asked Chen Yingliang to take him into the garden, and walked around at will, when he arrived at a relatively remote corner, Yang Yuer suddenly stopped, and Chen Yingliang, who was following her diagonally, already knew that Yang Yuer was looking for a chance to talk to him alone, so he also stopped, looked at Yang Yuer's back and waited for her to speak.
Yang Yu'er didn't rush to speak, nor did she look back at Chen Yingliang, and after hanging her head slightly and being silent for a while, Yang Yu'er said softly: "Chen Gongzi, in fact, I have long wanted to come to you to discuss something, but a few days ago, my father was in the palace, and my mother didn't dare to let me go out of the palace without permission, so it has been delayed until now." β
"Please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to command, and Weichen will listen to you." Chen Yingliang replied respectfully.
"It's about Sister Qian'er." Yang Yu'er said softly: "Regarding Sister Qian'er, I don't know what Gongzi Chen's plan is?" β
"Why is this happening?" Chen Yingliang frowned, and replied calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness the Princess, but I'm sorry, I have nothing to do with Miss Chai, so I can only wish her happiness." β
"You bad guy!" Yang Yu'er suddenly raised her voice, turned around quickly, and said with a pretty face: "Do you know that now besides you, there is no second person who can marry Sister Qian'er?" Do you know that if you don't renew your engagement with Sister Qian'er, her life will be over? Sister Qian'er is my only friend and my best friend, if you dare to harm her for life, I will be the first to let you go! β
"I know." Chen Yingliang was not obscure, and said calmly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Weichen doesn't hide it from you, I sympathize with Chai Qian very much, but I have never had a relationship with her, and because of some inconsistencies, there is no longer any possibility between me and her." β
"You still hold a grudge against the Cheshire family?" Yang Yu'er, who hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, misunderstood what Chen Yingliang meant, so she said again: "But have you thought about it, with your current status, how can the Cheshire family dare to despise you?" How can you still hinder your relationship with Sister Qian'er? You also saved the lives of the father and son of Cheshire before, if you renew the marriage contract with Sister Qian'er regardless of your previous suspicions, the world will praise you even more for your magnanimity, kindness, and will be beneficial to your career and prestige, such a simple truth, you won't understand, right? β
Hearing Yang Yu'er's words, Chen Yingliang also understood that she didn't know what was going on between her and her eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, but Chen Yingliang was not anxious about Yang Yu'er's truth, and took this opportunity to speak from her heart, and said calmly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I think you should know the reason why I rejected Miss Chai before, but you definitely don't know how lovesick I used to be for a girl named Yu'er?" β
Yang Yu'er was silent again, and lowered her pretty face slightly, Chen Yingliang didn't rush to speak, the two were only one step apart, but they were relatively speechless, and the sunset shone on the two of them, shining.
"When I first met her, I was full of affection for her as polite as she was." After a long time, Chen Yingliang raised his head, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and said to himself: "But I didn't dare to have any intentions against her, because at that time, I had actually roughly guessed her identity, and knew that a poor boy like me, a child of the Broken Shi family, and the distance between her and her was too far and too far, so far that it was impossible to reach, so I forced myself to forget her, and I forgot her for a while." β
"However, what I didn't expect was that after I arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and fought the first victory with the Baoguo Army, I suddenly remembered her, because I suddenly found that the distance between me and her was one step closer, although it was only a small step, but it was the most difficult and important first step, I saw a ray of light, and I also remembered her again."
"Later, I took the army to fight in the east and west, charged into battle, was born and died several times, and was once in a desperate situation, but I was never afraid, and I never gave up, because I knew that every time I won a battle, the distance between me and her was one step closer, and it can be said that the thought of her was the biggest motivation for my struggle. In the end, I created a miracle, captured Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong, was rewarded by the saint, praised by hundreds of officials, and caused a sensation in the world, these are not uncommon for me, I only hope that with these credits, I can get the opportunity to stay with her for the rest of my life. β
"So, when I met her again, I confessed to her, she ignored me, I'm not surprised, but I still don't want to give up, my thoughts about her are getting stronger and stronger, I know that she has the right to reject me, but she has no right to stop my love for her, although I know that this is unrequited love with little hope, but I don't regret ......."
"Say no more!" Yang Yu'er suddenly interrupted Chen Yingliang, quickly turned his back, bowed his head and said, "Me and you, it's impossible, never possible." β
"I know." Chen Yingliang continued to look at the white clouds in the sky and said calmly: "I know that it is impossible for me to be with her, and I don't want to continue to pester her and bore her, so I chose another girl and signed a marriage contract with her." β
Yang Yu'er turned her body again, looked at Chen Yingliang, her face was still a little pale, and her tone was a little trembling and asked, "You have been re-engaged?" β
Chen Yingliang nodded, lowered his head and said, "Her name is Eldest Sun Wuji, she is a very gentle girl, she is as polite and kind-hearted as you. So, don't worry, I won't pester you anymore in the future, I wish you happiness. Also, Miss Chai and I will never be able to, please comfort her for me and make her want to open some, I'm sorry for her. β
Yang Yu'er's face turned even paler, and her voice was so hoarse that she didn't even dare to listen, "Really? When was this? You're not joking? β
"Of course I wouldn't laugh at such a big thing." Chen Yingliang smiled faintly: "It's just a few days ago, do you remember that you went to the East Palace a few days ago?" That afternoon, Uncle Unsullied suddenly offered to marry her, and I agreed. β
Yang Yu'er was completely stunned, and looked at Chen Yingliang's gaze as if it was full of disbelief.
Chen Yingliang smiled again and said: "By the way, I will tell you one thing, I begged someone to find an official position in a foreign place for me, if I am a qiΔ shun lΓ¬, I will soon leave Daxing and go to Qilu Qingxu to suppress the thieves and quell the rebellion, and there should be no chance for us to meet in the future." Today, I take this opportunity to say so much to you, and I just want you to know that there is a delusional teenager who used to be lovesick to you. β
A breeze blew, lifting the corners of Yang Yu'er's clothes, and there seemed to be some light flashing in the corners of her eyes, but unfortunately Chen Yingliang was lowering his head and feeling sad, and he didn't notice Yang Yu'er's strange reaction, and between the two, they once again fell into a long silence and silence.
The sudden shout broke the silent atmosphere between Chen Yingliang and Yang Yu'er, Chen Laosan limped into the garden, and happily told Chen Yingliang that the angel had sent an edict, Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to canonize Chen Yingliang's new official position, and asked Chen Yingliang to immediately go to the lobby to receive the order, and at the same time Xie Mudong also ran into the garden and whispered to Yang Yu'er: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it was Liu Nei's servant who came to deliver the decree to Vice President Chen, he knew us, fortunately I was not seen by him, let's go through the back door, and it will be troublesome for him to see that you left the palace without permission and came here." β
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Xie Bo is right, you guys go through the back door." Chen Yingliang nodded, and apologized: "Weichen wants to go to receive the order, and he can't send the princess out, so if he is offended, he will leave first." β
After that, Chen Yingliang arranged for Chen Laosan to lead Yang Yuer and others to leave through the back door, and he hurried to the lobby to receive the order, Yang Yuer didn't say anything, lowered his head and bowed his head, but his eyes were suddenly soaked with tears.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
As Chen Yingliang hoped, the envoy sent by Emperor Yang of Sui really announced the will to appoint Chen Yingliang as the Zanzhi of Qianjun, and let Chen Yingliang go to Qiaojun to assist Xu Minlian, the Taishou of Qiaojun, to exterminate the thieves in the county and ensure the safety of the vital Yongji Canal and Canal. Chen Yingliang, who had been looking forward to this official position for a long time, was overjoyed, set up a banquet to thank the envoy, and inquired about the situation, only then did he know that Pei Ju proposed this construction on the way south to the Taiping Palace of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Emperor Yang of Sui, who had just received the news of another civil uprising in Qilu, did not hesitate, and immediately nodded and agreed to Pei Ju's construction, and was determined to let Chen Yingliang, who was outstanding in military affairs, go to the counterinsurgency battlefield to resume his old business and share the pressure of Zhang Xutuo, the pillar of East ChinaExhausted to cope.
Chen Yingliang was of course overjoyed to get the most suitable official position for himself as he wished, and went to the imperial city early the next morning to resign from his position as the right deputy leader, and then went to the official department to get the previous office documents and official defense seals, and then ran to Gao Shilian's home to inform the news, and he was very busy. After Gao Shilian's family learned of Chen Yingliang's new official position, although they were a little worried about Chen Yingliang's safety and future, they had no choice but to repeatedly tell Chen Yingliang to be careful and try his best to transfer back to Daxing to marry his eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, and Chen Yingliang of course agreed repeatedly.
At the same time, Chen Yingliang also made a request to Gao Shilian by the way, under the pretext of letting the eldest grandson Wuji experience and study, and proposed to let the eldest grandson Wuji go to Qian County with him to take office, not only to help himself but also to learn some officialdom ways, so as to facilitate the future of the eldest grandson Wuji to seek a position, I don't know what outstanding nephew will have in the future, Gao Shilian considered the future of the eldest grandson Wuji, of course, he agreed, and the eldest grandson Wuji himself was very happy to go to other places to open his eyes, and in turn thanked Chen Yingliang for the opportunity to be a cow and a horse.
The only thing that worries Chen Yingliang among the Gao family is the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, as Xiao Luoli's de facto fiancΓ©, Chen Yingliang is of course worried that Xiao Luoli will not be able to accept the pain that he is about to leave. But fortunately, as one of the few eternal sages in history, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli can certainly understand her fiancΓ©'s hardships, for the sake of Chen Yingliang's official future, although Xiao Luoli is reluctant to accept the cruel fact of her fiancΓ©'s long-term separation with a smile, she promised to wait patiently for Chen Yingliang's return, and told Chen Yingliang to take care of himself.
That night, Chen Yingliang drank and got drunk in Gao Shilian's house, fortunately, Chen Yingliang no longer needed to report to the imperial city every day on an errand, and slept a full sleep the next day, until the three poles of the day before getting up, after breakfast, Chen Yingliang arranged his travel luggage, while thinking about when to leave and who to say goodbye to, was busy, Chen Laosan limped to Chen Yingliang again, and said to Chen Yingliang: "Son, the day before yesterday, the Yu'er girl came again, and said to see you immediately." β
"Why is she here again?" Chen Yingliang was stunned, although he was extremely strange about Yang Yuer's intention, but he still came to the hall to meet Yang Yuer honestly.
It's only been a little over a day, Yang Yu'er's expression seems to be a lot haggard, and after meeting Chen Yingliang, he said to Chen Yingliang straight to the point: "Chen Gongzi, can we talk about it alone?" Last time I was in such a hurry that I had no time to finish some of my words. β
"What else do you have to say?" Chen Yingliang wondered in his conscience, but since Yang Yuer made a request, Chen Yingliang could not refuse, so he had to let Chen Laosan arrange for his subordinates to set up a banquet to entertain Xie Mudong, who came with Yang Yuer, and he followed Yang Yuer into the back garden again and talked with Yang Yuer alone in the back garden.
Yang Yu'er's expression this time was very strange, after entering the back garden with Chen Yingliang, he was always silent, his back to Chen Yingliang was just a little too big to hang out in the back garden, and he didn't say a word for a long time and made a little sound, as if he was just here to appreciate the garden where Chen Yingliang's house had just taken shape, and finally Chen Yingliang couldn't help but take the initiative to speak, and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, there are no outsiders here, if you have any orders, please say it directly." β
Yang Yu'er stopped in front of a freshly sorted out flower bed, turned her back to Chen Yingliang, and said in a strange calm tone: "Impatient so soon? Didn't you say that you used to be in love with me? Why is it that now that I am engaged, I don't even have the patience to accompany me for a walk? β
Chen Yingliang opened his mouth and asked a little dumbfounded: "Your Royal Highness Princess, what do you mean by this?" Why can't Wechen understand? β
Yang Yuer didn't answer Chen Yingliang's question, and asked rhetorically: "Didn't you ask me last time, why did my mother take the risk to save you?" I didn't have time to answer last time, do you want to hear it now? β
"Yes, of course." Chen Yingliang hurriedly replied.
Yang Yu'er's answer made Chen Yingliang almost faint - with her back to Chen Yingliang, Yang Yu'er said in a calmer tone: "Because my mother knows some things between me and you and wants you to be my concubine, I took the risk of offending my uncle, pulled a few concubines of my father and emperor who had a good relationship with her, and instigated my father to summon you, so that you have a chance to defend in front of your father." Otherwise, the Emperor may have dismissed you from office. β
Dumbfounded, Chen Yingliang blurted out and asked, "Yu'er, aren't you joking?" β
