Chapter 3: Celebration Banquet (1)
Yun Xiao came to the courtyard where his brothers were arguing, and when he looked up, he saw his father Yun Hanshan, who had just returned to the house, looking at Yun Hong and Yun Ping with a cold face, and was about to have a seizure.
Yun Xiao hurriedly shouted: "Daddy......"
Yun Hanshan was a little embarrassed when he saw Yun Xiao, and he didn't know what kind of face to change to talk to her for a while, but asked a little stiffly: "Yun Xiao, why did you come out?" Why don't you rest in your room? ”
Yun Xiao knew that her father owed herself in her heart, and she didn't want to be too strict with herself, so she was very pleased, she smiled faintly, stepped forward, and said:
"Dad, I know, in the recent past, for my marriage, you and your two brothers have broken their hearts, I am very uneasy, no matter what, I am the eldest daughter of the Yun family, and I should contribute my modest efforts to the glory of the Yun family, as long as it is conducive to the marriage of our Yun family, I will not postpone it, I believe in my father's decision!"
Yun Hanshan was obviously shocked when he heard this, and then nodded, his eyes full of appreciation: "I didn't expect you to be so well educated by your master on the mountain!" ”
On the other side, Yun Hong shook his head desperately at Yun Xiao behind Yun Hanshan, signaling Yun Xiao not to say more, for fear that Yun Xiao would put his happiness into it.
Yun Ping asked unknowingly, "What about the prince's side?" ”
When Yun Hanshan heard this, he turned his eyes to look at Yun Ping angrily and scolded: "You don't know anything, you are not as good as your sister!" You're going to talk to the prince too, aren't you?! ”
Yun Xiao saw that he was about to get angry again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him:
"Dad, don't be angry first, the second brother is also worried about me, worried about our Yun family, then again, in fact, the second brother's worries are not completely unreasonable, we did offend the prince because of this matter. If we don't handle this matter well, it will indeed be detrimental to our Yun family's future in the court, so we need to be cautious about this matter. ”
When Yun Hanshan heard this, his eyebrows moved, he turned his eyes to look at Yun Xiao, and asked, "So...... In your opinion, what should we do next? ”
Yun Xiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Now, although there are rumors on the street outside, in my opinion, the source of this rumor may not come from the prince. After all, the prince was rejected for marriage, and when it was spread out, the prince's face could not be hung up, and now the forces of the DPRK and China are intertwined. The prince won the battle and returned to the court, and there were countless people who wanted to tie the knot, and there were not a few people who were jealous of the prince and wanted to see the prince's bad luck. After all, today's saints are not the only princes! ”
Yun Xiao's eyes flowed, paused, and continued,
Although these rumors came at an inopportune time, they could divert the focus of the prince's anger to a certain extent. Because the prince knows that this gossip is harmful to our Yun family, which invisibly alleviates the contradiction between our Yun family and the prince. Compared to being rejected by our Yun family, I'm afraid that the prince is even more angry about the person who spread this matter and made him lose face in front of the world! ”
When Yun Hong heard this, he exclaimed: "Well said, well said...... Yun Xiao, your analysis is so right! ”
Yun Hanshan also felt good, nodded, and said, "Keep talking!" ”
Yun Xiao continued: "If you want to ease the tension between our Yun family and the prince, it is not completely impossible, right now, there is a great opportunity, the prince has just returned to the court after winning the battle, tomorrow, the emperor will set up a dinner in the palace to celebrate the prince's success, and at that time, all the civil and military officials will go to the East Palace to celebrate the prince, and our Yun family will naturally go, we can prepare a special gift for the prince." The prince is famous by virtue of his military exploits, although he has won the battle, but he has not had enough experience, and our Yun family has been in the army for generations, and what he is best at is marching and fighting, at this time, his father can give the prince a magic weapon and a few precious military books, which is not only to congratulate the prince, but also to hint at the prince, our Yun family will secretly help the prince, and save the face of our Yun family, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
"It's really a good idea, let my father think about it again!"
Yun Hanshan looked at Yun Xiao steadily, only felt that his daughter not only had a graceful appearance, but also was exceptionally calm and sensitive, and did not lose to his proud eldest son, if Yun Xiao was also a son, he would definitely be able to help himself in the court, unlike his second son Yun Ping, who knew to cause trouble for himself all day long.
Thinking of this, Yun Hanshan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yun Ping again, only to see that Yun Ping was still that stubborn, and another nameless fire hit his heart, he shook his head, snorted coldly, and brushed his sleeves away.
Yun Hong saw that Yun Hanshan was far away, so he happily walked up to Yun Xiao and praised:
"Yun Xiao, you are really amazing, before, every time my father was angry, I stood next to your second brother, and I didn't even dare to breathe, let alone speak, I didn't expect that you could not only make your father angry, but also give your father ideas, and get praise from your father, you are really a model for our brothers and sisters!"
In Yun Hong's heart, his sister is simply a gift from God to their Yun family.
At this moment, Yun Ping, who was standing on the side, said: "You made your father angry, don't dare to speak, that's your business, don't get involved with me!" ”
When Yun Hong heard this, he immediately glanced at Yun Ping and said, "How could I make my father angry?" The person who makes my dad angry the most in the family is obviously you! ”
When Yun Ping heard this, his face turned red. However, he still felt unconvinced, so he quibbled strongly:
"What's wrong with me making my dad angry? Which son dares to say that he has never made Lao Tzu angry?! Big brother, didn't you make your father angry when you were a child?! Don't just talk about me! Now it's okay, I'm back with a delicate sister, in the future, if my father is angry, as long as I invite my sister, won't my father be able to dissipate his anger?! What else is there to worry about? ”
"You ......" Yun Hong's face turned green with anger, "I've never seen someone as thick-skinned as you!" When I was young, I enjoyed the blessings of my father and mother, and when I grew up, I enjoyed the blessings of my sister, did you blush?! ”
"Why blush if you are blessed by your ability?!"
Yun Ping didn't care, laughed and left.
Yun Xiao had no choice but to reach out and hold Yun Hong and persuade him not to be angry anymore.
--------------------
After noon, Yun Hong came to Yun Xiao's boudoir to look for Yun Xiao.
At that time, Yun Xiao was concentrating on practicing calligraphy.
Outside the window, a ginkgo tree, full of small yellow flowers, sprinkled into the window by the afternoon sun, reflecting the clouds very elegantly.
When Yun Hong came in, he couldn't help but feel that he was admiring a beautiful picture, he picked up the words written by Yun Xiao and read: "The joy of the world first, the joy of the world after the world...... Are you writing "The Story of Yueyang Tower"? ”
Yun Xiao smiled gracefully: "Exactly!" This is my favorite sentence in "The Story of Yueyang Tower"! ”
Hearing this, Yun Hong put down the paper in his hand and said loudly: "I didn't expect that one of your daughters also likes such things, I thought that you only like fluttering fireflies and catching butterflies!" ”
Yun Xiao smiled like a lake in the sunset.
Actually, these are all taught to her by the master, and the master said that those who live in the temple should have such a mind.
She raised her eyes to look at Yunhong and asked, "Big brother, you are coming to me now, but what is the matter?" ”
Yun Hong sighed and said, "Yun Xiao, do you really have no favorite man in your heart?" ”
Yun Xiao was stunned when he heard this: "Big brother, why did you mention this matter again?" ”
Yun Hong said worriedly: "What you said to your father this morning, are they all serious? Although you have the mind of 'worrying about the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world', but you are a woman after all, you may not really want to do that, Yun Xiao, do you know, my father told me just now that King Ding had sent someone to deliver a letter to us, saying that he agreed to the marriage of our Yun family, and when the prince's celebration banquet was over, he would personally come to the door to propose marriage. Therefore, my father asked me to prepare for my mother in advance, so it seems that your marriage with King Ding has basically been decided! ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, he couldn't stop being shocked in his heart. No wonder when my father talked to my mother about this matter yesterday, his tone was so certain, it turned out that my father had already known that King Ding would definitely agree to this family business.
On the other side, Yun Hong saw that Yun Xiao was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but call her in a high voice: "Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao...... What are you thinking? ”
Yun Xiao came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing ......."
Yun Hong sighed again and asked, "Yun Xiao, are you really willing to marry King Ding?" You haven't even met him yet! ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, his heart was hot.
At this time, I'm afraid only the eldest brother will care, whether she is really willing to marry King Ding!
It's just that Yun Xiao herself looks very lightly, she said: "Big brother, in fact, whether I am married to King Ding or not, I can take care of myself, you don't have to worry too much about me!" ”
Yunhong is still worried: "The marriage of a woman from a big family is always unbearable, and the eldest brother is just afraid that you will live a happy life in the future!" ”
Yun Xiao smiled brightly: "I have the love of my eldest brother, no one dares to bully me!" If someone dares to bully me, my eldest brother will definitely stand up and beat him to cry and call his mother. ”
"Hahahahahahaha...... In our family, your mouth is the sweetest and the most talkative! ”
At this moment, Yun Xiao said again: "By the way, eldest brother, can you take me with you to the prince's celebration banquet tomorrow night?" I just came down from the mountain, and I want to go to the palace to see the world! ”
"This ......" Yun Hong said with a sad face, and said with some hesitation, "I'm afraid my father and mother won't agree to this matter, after all...... Our family has just rejected the prince's proposal to marry, you go to the East Palace now, if the prince sees you, both parties are embarrassed, why don't you wait for me to come back from the celebration banquet tomorrow, and I will tell you about the celebration banquet, okay? ”
