Chapter 2: The Return of the Concubines (2)
Yun Xiao turned around and looked, it turned out to be the eldest brother.
Yun Xiao's eldest brother Yun Hong, twenty-five years old, is now following his father to serve as a squire in the military department, tall and good-looking.
Yun Hong walked up to Yun Xiao and asked, "Yun Xiao, it's so late, why are you here alone?" I thought you were asleep! ”
Yun Xiao replied: "I saw that the moonlight was good tonight, so I went out for a walk, I like to be quiet, so I didn't bring a maid!" ”
Yun Hong nodded, looked at the road where Yun Xiao came, and asked, "Yun Xiao, did you come from your father's yard just now?" ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled again: "It's just that I happened to be passing by!" Big brother is so late, why didn't he rest in the room? ”
Yun Hong smiled and said, "I've just finished my busy work and am about to go back to the house to rest." ”
"Oh......" Yun Xiao replied in a low voice.
Yun Hong asked again: "Yun Xiao, what have you learned in the mountains with Mr. Dugu over the years?" ”
Referring to Master Dugu Yexue, Yun Xiao smiled faintly, and she said:
"Master is very knowledgeable, especially good at medicine, but unfortunately, I am not interested in medicine, but Master did not force me to learn medicine, I like music, so Master taught me to play the piano and blow the flute; I like flowers and plants, so Master taught me to grow all kinds of precious flowers and plants, and told me their functions. I like to ride and shoot, so Master taught me how to ride a horse, showed me how to use various bows and crossbows, and made me small crossbows that I could hide in my sleeves for self-defense. I like the art of war, so Master taught me how to arrange troops and showed me all kinds of military books. In short, as long as I like it, Master will teach it to me! ”
Hearing this, Yun Hong nodded: "You are a girl, just do what you like." ”
Yun Xiao's eyes rolled and asked, "Hasn't the eldest brother married a wife yet?" When I came back today, I didn't see the new sister-in-law, but the eldest brother has been weak for several years, and I thought that I would see the new sister-in-law when I came back today! ”
Yun Hong didn't care about this matter, he said: "I follow my father to march and fight outside all the year round, and I am dedicated to the affairs of the country, how can I have time to consider the love of these children?" came and went, and it was delayed. However, I'm not in a hurry about it now! ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "The eldest brother is so handsome, there must be a lot of daughters in the imperial capital who want to marry the eldest brother!" ”
When Yun Hong heard this, he immediately laughed: "Hahahahahahaha......ha Only you will praise me like this, my father and mother say that I am a rough person, I only know how to dance with knives and guns, and I don't know how to feel sorry for women! I'm afraid it won't be easy to marry a wife in the future! ”
After laughing, Yun Hong suddenly asked very abruptly,
"By the way, Yun Xiao, you are about to bow to you, in your heart, is there a man you admire?"
When Yun Xiao heard this, her cheeks suddenly burned crimson, she lowered her eyes, and said angrily: "Big brother, why did you suddenly ask me this?" I have always lived in the mountains with my master and have never come down from the mountains, how can there be a man I admire?! If my father and mother know, won't I be blamed for not knowing the etiquette? ”
She suddenly regretted asking her eldest brother about her new sister-in-law.
Yun Hong said: "Yun Xiao, I know that the marriage of the children's family is decided by the parents, but if you already have a man you like, you must tell the eldest brother, the eldest brother hopes that you can be happy in the future!" ”
His tone was serious, not like a joke.
Yun Xiao couldn't help but raise his head, only to see Yun Hong continue: "Yun Xiao, do you know why your father and mother sent you to the mountain back then? ”
"I know, it's to change my life."
Yun Hong shook his head, and when he talked about this matter, he sighed again: "Actually, it's not just that! ”
Yun Xiao was shocked when she heard this, when her father and mother sent her to the mountain, she told her like this, and her father and mother also said that her master, Mr. Dugu, is famous all over the world, and if she learns from him by heart, she will definitely do great things in the future.
But now, why does the eldest brother say that it is not just like this? What's behind this?
At this moment, Yun Xiao suddenly remembered that he made a mistake when he was a child, every time his father wanted to punish him, it was the eldest brother who protected him, and the eldest brother who loved him like that, even if he was separated for six years, his love for himself would not change, and his father and mother must still have something very important to hide from themselves!
Yun Xiao was about to ask, but Yun Hong frowned and sighed, and said to Yun Xiao: "It's getting late today, you go back and rest first, and we'll talk about these things later." ”
Yun Xiao had no choice but to nod, turn around and leave.
--------------------
Probably because he was too tired from the mountain by car today, Yun Xiao fell asleep quickly tonight.
In the dream, Yun Xiao seemed to be living on the mountain with his master. The master was dressed in white and unstained, sitting on the peach blossom tree, playing the flute to the moon, and carrying a small flower basket, while pretending to pick flowers and strolling through the peach forest, while secretly watching the master playing the flute to the moon, as if watching a peaceful shadow puppet show.
Master was born extremely beautiful, better than any talent written in the script, in Yun Xiao's heart, Master is the most perfect person in the world, Yun Xiao once asked Master, why do you always like to sit on the peach tree on a bright moonlit night and play the flute, isn't the peach forest in the day more beautiful?
The master didn't tell her the answer, just touched her head, smiled, and told her to continue playing.
Yun Xiao thought, maybe Master thinks the night is quieter!
--------------------
Early in the morning, Yun Xiao woke up in a noise, and the maid Qianyue came in with a curtain, and when she saw that Yun Xiao was awake, she hurriedly said, "Miss, get up?" I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't call you! ”
Yun Xiao sat up and asked, "Qianyue, who is arguing outside?" ”
Hearing this, Qianyue's face was a little hesitant.
Before coming in just now, Mrs. Wang had already instructed her and Qianyun not to talk about the outside affairs with Yun Xiao, so as not to annoy her.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao had a plan in her heart, she didn't ask any more, but put on her shoes and got out of bed.
After finishing grooming, Yun Xiao came to the courtyard, and finally could hear the specific content of the quarrel outside, it turned out that the eldest brother Yunhong and the second brother Yunping were arguing.
Yun Xiao heard the second brother Yun Ping shouting angrily:
"I really don't understand why my father refused the prince's proposal? Our Yun family is now the most prosperous family in our dynasty, marrying the prince, and then being the uncle of the country, and Yun Xiao will be the queen of the world in the future, what's wrong with this? Ordinary people can't think of a blessing, why did Dad turn him away?! And big brother, why are you as stubborn as your father?! ”
Immediately afterward, Yunhong's reprimand came: "What do you know? Early in the morning, it's just here shouting and screaming! Do you want the whole house to know that you are openly against your father?! Is there any look like the second son of Yunfu?! Can you pay attention to your own identity? ”
"Big brother, can I ask you not to make a fool of yourself anymore?! You don't look at it, how ugly those people outside say, they say that our family's Yun Xiao is a wild phoenix on the mountain, and Qinggao doesn't even look down on the prince, afraid that he will marry a fairy, and even more, say that our Yun family, relying on himself is the most prosperous family in the dynasty, so he doesn't put the prince in his eyes, and the prince dares to refuse, only when the Son of Heaven comes to the door to propose, he is willing to marry a daughter! ”
Yun Ping said angrily,
"Now these words are spread all over the street, saying how our Yun family has no one in their eyes, how they are flying and domineering, how they are bullying people, I can't wait to go to the emperor collectively to sue the emperor, and immediately condemn our Yun family to a crime of contempt for the king!"
"You ......"
However, Yun Hong's words had just been spoken when he was interrupted by Yun Ping:
"I said, the prince came to propose such a big thing, how could my father say that he refused and refused? Even if Dad is not satisfied with anything, we can sit down and discuss it! ”
Yun Hong asked sharply, "Who to discuss?" Talking to you? Yun Xiao's marriage is also up to you?! Your parents are still there, so how can you intervene? I, the big brother, have no right to put a beak! ”
"That dad can't be so direct! In this situation, how will our Yun family deal with themselves in the court? Big brother, why do you think that Yun Xiao shouldn't marry the prince like your father? What's so bad about Yun Xiao marrying the prince? At the beginning, didn't sending her to the mountains just to change her rich life? If she marries the crown prince, she can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, isn't it just a rich life? Why are you turning away her rich life?! Isn't that the opposite of your original intention?! Now that you refuse the prince's proposal to marry, who will dare to come to the door and ask to marry her in the future? Who would dare to touch the prince's nail?! Do you want her to never get married for the rest of her life and stay at home all the time?! ”
This series of questions made Yun Hong angry, and he raised his voice and scolded: "Yun Ping, I think you are really crazy, don't say it again, otherwise, don't blame me for doing it to you!" ”
However, Yun Ping still insisted on his opinion: "Big brother, why are you as stubborn as your father?!" You are harming Yun Xiao, you have to make it clear, what we are offending now is the prince, he is now winning the battle, he is in the limelight, and the people of the whole dynasty are scolding him, we don't know if it will be too late to apologize to the prince now! ”
At this moment, an incomparably majestic voice suddenly came in: "Who said that I was going to apologize to the crown prince?!" ”
When Yun Xiao heard this sound in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, his father actually came, and he didn't know what the eldest brother and the second brother had quarreled about just now, how much his father heard, Yun Xiao had a plan in his heart, and immediately walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Seeing this, the maids Qianyue and Qianyun who were standing behind her couldn't help but exclaim:
"Miss......"
"Miss, don't go ......"
However, Yun Xiao walked very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from the sight of the two maids.
