Chapter 2: First Encounter with Prince Yong
On March 24, the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, today is the first time Yu Yao has stepped out of the house.
Dressed in lotus color, she first went to the old lady Ilgen Jue Luo with her mother Qi Jia to ask for peace, and after breakfast together, she followed the old lady and her mother out of the second door, and then got into the carriage with her sister and went to Tantuo Temple to worship the Buddha.
Sitting in the carriage, listening to the gurgling of the carriage, gradually, the human voices joined in, becoming more and more noisy.
Listening and listening, Yu Yao can make up a lively street scene in her brain.
It's just imagination, after all, it's just imagination, and she really wants to see it with her own eyes.
Neither E-niang nor grandmother said that they couldn't open the curtain to see, maybe she could try. After all, she is Manchu, not Han, and she doesn't pay so much attention to the rules.
Just when she persuaded herself and her hand was about to move, a small hand took a step ahead of her, grabbed a corner of the curtain, and then complied with Yu Yao's intention and opened the curtain.
Buying things, selling things, passing by, looking at the fresh, vivid street life, just appeared in front of Yuyao's eyes.
The first time Yu Yao saw this scene, it was very fresh and fascinating.
And Yurong is also a person who does not go out of the gate, and he has never seen such a scene, and he also sees it with relish.
Leaving the bustling streets, the carriage drove out of the city, lifted the curtains, and saw nothing to see except dirt roads, trees, or fields.
When she arrived at Tantuo Temple, Yu Yao smelled the good smell of peach blossoms.
She asked the little novice who led the way, "Is there a peach blossom here?" ”
Xiao Shami smiled: "Amitabha, there are indeed peach blossoms, just in the back mountain, there is a small peach forest. ”
Smelling the fragrance of peach blossoms, thinking that it was the season of peach blossoms, Yu Yao thought in her heart, if she found an opportunity, she would go and see.
After Yu Yao went to incense with her mother and grandmother, she brought her blue clothes to walk around the temple, and Yurong saw her like this, and she also learned from her to take the maid to walk around the temple.
Of course, in order to show that she is more valued than Yu Yao, she brought two maids.
At the provocative glance that Yurong glanced at, Yuyao secretly replied with a "childish" look to the other party, but on her face, she pretended not to receive the other party's provocation, and ignored it and took the maid to walk around by herself.
Yurong is depressed, it's like this again, and she doesn't accept her moves, she is aggrieved, no, when you visit the temple and see the beautiful peach blossom forest, you are not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
Yu Yao is different, she is in a good mood, looking at the crimson peach blossom forest, her mood is getting better and better with the beautiful scenery.
The peach blossoms of the tree are blooming brightly, dark or light, thick or light, with different levels and tones, but they look beautiful.
Yu Yao couldn't help but stroll in the peach blossom forest, bouncing, reaching out and then the falling peach blossom petals, so uncomfortable and unhappy.
She felt that if time could stay in this moment forever, she would be willing.
After all, she has short calves, and after jumping for a while, she is tired, and suddenly wants to lie down in the peach blossom forest.
She glanced around, lying on the ground, well, not good, it would be bad if someone bumped into her.
Then, just change places.
Yu Yao glanced at the blue clothes who were following her, and deliberately made an excuse to support her to leave, and then slipped away, climbed the peach tree by herself, found a branch suitable for lying down, and lay down.
was lying comfortably, and suddenly two people walked in the peach forest.
The first, dressed in blue clothes, with a tall posture, after Yu Yao could see the other party's face, she found that this person was very handsome, but his face was serious, his temperament was cold, and he looked less than thirty years old.
followed by the entourage, which seemed to be the entourage of the cold man, because he was very respectful to the cold man.
Faintly, Yu Yao also heard the entourage as if they were shouting the cold man "Lord Wang".
Tsk, such a handsome and cold man, which prince is he?
Faintly, Yu Yao has a guess, it can't be that one, right? Such a fate, the first time I came to worship the Buddha, I met it like this?!
Yu Yao concentrated on observing the two people next to him under the tree, and when Qing Leng spoke, the faint tone suddenly made Yu Yao feel cool.
Then, the cold man's address to the entourage made Yu Yao confirm her guess.
Su Peisheng, hehe, she still knows who this person is with, I don't have to say it, this cold man must be Prince Siyeyong.
However, why does this fourth master look so young?
Yu Yao, who was lying on the book, looked at the excellent face of the fourth master in a daze.
It doesn't look like it's thirty, tsk, this maintenance technique, if only I could learn it.
After sighing that the fourth master looked young and good-looking, he began to sigh about the others.
This Prince Yong, as she imagined, was cold, and it was really an iceberg.
Although she saw the fourth master in the peach blossom forest, Yu Yao didn't take it to heart.
After she waited for the fourth master and others to leave the peach forest, she secretly climbed down the tree, found her little maid, and then made peace with her mother and grandmother, and after eating fast, they went home together.
When I returned home, I learned calligraphy, guzheng, etiquette, and embroidery...... I haven't been out before, so I don't have the idea of going out for a walk, but after going to Tantuo Temple once, Yu Yaoxin always wants to run out.
Unfortunately, there is no chance.
After a few more days, something happened in the house that was somewhat related to Yu Yao, that is, her cousin was going to participate in the draft.
Time passed little by little, and the draft soon ended with the second selection, and the cousin was put off the sign and asked to marry on her own.
The backyard of the deep palace and the backyard of the prince are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they are not selected, which is also good.
Yu Yao also looks forward to being like her cousin when she comes to the draft.
But Yurong is different, Yurong is gloating about her cousin's defeat!
Yu Yao didn't bother to pay attention to her, after all, the honey of the first and the arsenic of the other, everyone thinks differently.
Yu Yao's relationship with her cousin is okay, she knows her cousin's thoughts, she wants to marry a disciple of the Eight Banners, be a wife, take charge of the house, and have children.
She didn't think about entering the palace and entering the prince's backyard.
So, my cousin was satisfied with the defeat. And Yuyao came to visit her as soon as her cousin returned home after she was defeated.
After the two cousins talked for a while, "Cousin, you will get your wish." Yu Yao ended the visit with a sentence, and then, with her maid, she went back to Yunshuyuan, where she lived.
A few days later, Yu Yao was practicing embroidery in the house, and suddenly, Lan Yun, a second-class maid in her house who was responsible for finding out the news, told herself, "Gege, the big Gege of the old man's family, is going to get married today." ”
The big Gege of the old man's family, isn't he talking about his cousin?!
"My cousin is getting married, why haven't I seen any movement from my grandmother and aunt, is it possible that this son-in-law candidate, they have already taken a good look at people? However, even if you take a good look at people early, then this dowry or something, you have to prepare it! ”
"Gege", Lan Yun called out to Yu Yao, and then his lips moved, but no sound came out.
Yu Yao frowned, put down the needlework in her hand, looked at Lan Yun's eyes, and said seriously: "You can say anything, whether it's good or bad." ”
"The slave knows." After Lan Yun agreed, he paused, and then came up with the news he had inquired about.
