Chapter 237: People with ulterior motives
"No, maybe he's just like you, but he's not good at expressing himself, this time let's go to the capital, he will definitely accept you as a brother." Ye Chuliang said confidently.
Dongfang Yanhe nodded desperately, "Yes, you are right." ”
"By the way, if Cheng Feng's background is true, then how did you end up at your grandmother's house?" When it came to family affection, Dongfang Yanhe suddenly thought of a question that he had been thinking about for a long time.
"I'm afraid only grandma knows about this." Ye Chuliang said helplessly.
"Since you are not Ye Fengyang's biological son, they must have been very harsh on you at that time."
Ye Chuliang nodded, "Yes, since I can remember, they have always called me a wild girl, but they usually don't call me in front of my grandmother, because my grandmother is very good to me, and if there is anything delicious, she will save it for me to eat, but later my grandmother is getting older and older, Ye Fengyang and Fei Yue'e don't take her seriously, and they are naturally more harsh on me." ”
"Actually, I've always wondered why a family like Ye Fengyang would raise a daughter like you, you are not only confident and resilient, but also very kind." Dongfang Yanhe looked puzzled.
"Why, who stipulates that in such a family, the children are worse than others?" Ye Chuliang asked with some pretended to be angry.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I meant ......"
"I see what you mean." Ye Chuliang couldn't tell Dongfang Yanhe that he was not the same Ye Chuliang as before, let alone a girl who grew up in a bad family relationship, so she must be different from the real Ye Chuliang.
Ye Chuliang slowly stood up, "The person I want to thank the most in my life is my grandmother, if it weren't for her, there would be no Ye Chuliang now, which is why Ye Fengyang and Fei Yue'e treated me like that, but I am still optimistic." "Finished, Ye Chuliang turned around and prepared to leave, "Okay, go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow." ”
Although there were some difficulties on the way to Beijing, I finally approached the capital safely. It's just that since they went on the road together, Cheng Feng has changed his previous harmony, and what he sees every day must be a serious expression and an unsmiling look.
Seeing that there were still two more to go to the capital, Cheng Feng suddenly became harmonious again, and even wanted to invite Ye Chuliang and Dongfang Yanhe to have dinner together.
Fragrance Garden
The environment is very elegant, and the atmosphere and feel are like some kind of large meeting place for literati and artists.
As soon as I entered the door, a well-dressed woman in her early thirties walked in.
"I didn't expect it to be the prince who arrived, Mei is polite." The woman bowed slightly.
Cheng Feng raised his hand, "These two are friends of this king, and I also ask the boss to arrange a good place to go." ”
Mei bowed slightly, "Mei has seen the two, if a few of them don't dislike it, the private room on the third floor, Mei has always kept it for the prince, or I will wronged you tonight." ”
"This king wants to listen to the Hongmen banquet today, I don't know if the two girls who sang the song are still there?" Cheng Feng asked with a slight smile.
"Is the prince Hong and Lan, still there, they were still thinking about the prince a few days ago, Mei is going to invite them." Mei Wan beckoned the slave maid beside her and took Cheng Feng and Dongfang Yanhe to the third floor.
Along the way, there is no noise and smoky miasma of the land of fireworks, and the air is not even half a minute of rouge gouache except for the faint scent of orchids.
Coming to the third floor, the slave gently pushed the door open, and suddenly a trace of quiet night fragrance came faintly.
The decoration in the room is elegant and simple, and the smoke screen of sandalwood burning on the desk slowly rises at this time, making people feel like they are in a fairyland
In the middle of the house was a long table facing the door, and behind the table was a stool neatly placed, with some melons and snacks on the table, and even more importantly, a delicate wine jug next to each seat.
"Sit down, this is the best opera garden in the realm of Yimen Mansion, and those who sing opera usually sing alone in the guest room, and you can order whatever you want, if you are happy to listen, there is no problem to rest here for ten and a half months." Cheng Feng introduced himself.
Dongfang Yanhe pulled Ye Chuliang to sit down together, and then said with a faint smile: "Cuixiangyuan, don't want Yimen Mansion, even around the entire Jingshi, who doesn't know who doesn't know." ”
"I didn't expect the general to be a lover." Cheng Feng's words meant something else.
Ye Chuliang immediately replied: "In such an elegant place, I don't want men, even women are willing to listen to music, but it's just ......."
Ye Chuliang deliberately paused to make Cheng Feng curious, "It's just?" ”
"The prince wants to listen to the Hongmen banquet today, I don't know if he is alluding to it, or if he wants to give Ye Chuliang a dismount?" Ye Chu said with a smile.
Cheng Feng laughed, "The first cool girl laughed, this king wants to listen to the Hongmen banquet, but it is just to see the two girls, Hong and Lan, I haven't seen them for more than half a year, and this king even misses it." ”
"I don't know how much of the missing in the prince's mouth is true and how fake?" A magnetic voice sounded like a radio tone outside the door.
Accompanied by the voice, there were two women who were about the same height and almost chubby and thin, one was lake blue with a whole body and the other was red, and sure enough, it was the name of the two of them.
Cheng Feng smiled even more, "Lan is always so sharp-tongued......"
Lan raised his head, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an even charming smile, "Lord Wang, isn't Lan right?" ”
"Alas, if you talk less and sing more songs like red, I believe this king will like you more." As soon as Cheng Feng's words came out, Hong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but smile softly.
"Alas, forget it, there are more than 10 million people that the prince likes, and Lan can't count on it." Lan Wan sat down on the stool directly opposite the table with the pipa in his hand, then shrugged his shoulders and asked, "The prince wants to listen to the Hongmen banquet today?" ”
"Yes, this king thinks that only the two of you sing the best in this Hongmen banquet, I haven't heard it for a long time, and this king really misses it." Cheng Feng repeated the dot zero.
Without waiting for the two women to sing, Dongfang Yanhe raised his hand and asked, "May I ask the two girls, what else can they sing besides singing the Hongmen Banquet?" ”
Lan and Hong both looked in the direction of Dongfang Yanhe and Ye Chuliang, and they didn't know if they were frightened by Ye Chuliang's appearance, their surprised eyes stayed on Ye Chuliang's face for a moment before returning to normal.
They looked at each other secretly, and then changed to their usual smiles, "The two women are the best at the Hongmen Banquet, but there are others, such as ambushes on all sides, swords go sideways, ghosts are born in the dark, and the two women can also sing." ”
The two girls sang as if ...... It seems that some of the femininity is missing. Dongfang Yanhe pretended to be inadvertent.
"The two of us sisters who came to Yimen Mansion to make a living naturally can't be too weak, otherwise we will inevitably be bullied." Hong, who had been silent, said suddenly.
Ye Chuliang stood up slowly, she slowly walked to the side of the two women, looked up and down and asked, "Have we ever met?" ”
Hong bowed her head and said silently, Lan Ze said generously: "Regardless of whether we have seen it before or not, we will know each other in the future, if the girl wants to listen to music in the future, she can also come to our sisters." ”
Ye Chuliang snorted softly, "I'm sorry, I don't like to listen to music, so I'm afraid I won't bother the two girls in the future." After that, she turned back to her seat, turned slightly to Cheng Feng and said, "Lord Wang, Chu Liang is not feeling well tonight, I don't know if I can go back first." ”
"Oh, this is obviously good, this meal was invited by this king, you haven't been to Yimen Mansion, you should really try their food, it's no worse than what you made yourself." Cheng Feng had an embarrassed expression.
Ye Chuliang shook his head lightly, "Lord Wang, there will be opportunities in the future of food and beauty, if the matter is done, the prince and Yaxing invite Chu Liang to come here for a gathering, then Chu Liang will definitely not refuse, but tonight...... Chu Liang is really unwell, and I ask the prince for forgiveness. ”
"Then why don't you send someone to send the girl back first? As for the general, staying with this king must not be a big problem, right? Cheng Feng looked at Dongfang Yanhe, but his words were cold to Ye Chu.
"I'm sorry, Chu Liang has a bad habit, after dark, he must be with people he knows, so he wants to go with Chu Liang." Ye Chuliang didn't let Cheng Feng have a chance to refuse at all, and pulled Dongfang Yanhe to get up and prepare to go out.
"This ......" Cheng Feng stood up and wanted to persuade, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back and let the two walk out.
Seeing them leave the Cuixiang Garden, Cheng Feng slowly sat down and asked sharply, "Isn't it very similar?" ”
On the way back, Dongfang Yanhe couldn't help but ask with concern: "Where is it uncomfortable, do you want to find a doctor?" ”
"No need, I'm not uncomfortable, I just think those two women are a little strange, and I don't feel at ease Cheng Feng, I think he invited us to dinner today for a purpose." Ye Chuliang was tangled and authentic.
"I know what his purpose is." Dongfang Yanhe said softly.
"You know?"
Dongfang Yanhe sighed secretly and said: "When I was a general, every time I returned to the court after victory, I would come to Cuixiangyuan to listen to music. I've told you before, I hate living in the palace the most, and I resist even living in the capital, so I don't have a house in the city. ”
"Usually I live in the barracks, and sometimes when I come out to relax, I basically choose to go to the Cuixiang Garden, listen to music, drink wine, and feel that I am still alive." Dongfang Yanhe couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
"So you think he's trying to let me know that you've been in the Fragrance Garden before?" Ye Chuliang's rhetorical question was obviously a little reluctant to believe this explanation.
Dongfang Yanhe heard the clue, "You mean, his purpose is not like this?" ”
"Maybe he has such intentions, but it must not be the main thing, I think he is targeting me more this time, those two girls are too suspicious."
