In a few days, it will be Mengqiu July, but the morning sun is still so dazzling and hot, after breakfast, Yan Hagi took ear grass and finch wheat, under the escort of Yan Tongliang, to Mingxiang Pavilion.
Yan Hagi sat in the car, Yan Tongliang rode a horse and followed the car, Yan Hagi leaned on the window and asked, "Sixth brother, August is coming to an end, how are you prepared?" Yan Hagi originally didn't want Yan Tongliang to send it, but Yan Tongliang kept his eyes on his back with Yan Tongliang on his back, and made a gesture of begging for help, Yan Hagi relented for a while, so he rescued his sixth brother.
"Even if I prepare for another thirty years, I can't prepare well." Yan Tongliang is self-aware, he thinks that he is still a poor and sour talent when he is eighty years old.
The corners of Yan Hao's mouth twitched, "Sixth brother, do you plan to suffer every three years?" β
"I don't want to." Yan Tongliang shook his head and watched a few brothers enter the tribute courtyard once, just like a little death, his scalp was numb.
"Actually, it's not bad to take care of housework at home, but my father and mother will be disappointed." Yan Hagi frowned.
"Don't worry, I won't disappoint my parents." Yan Tongliang already had a plan in his heart, but he just couldn't tell his family.
"Sixth brother, you don't want to make a cheat sheet, do you?" Yan Hao asked in surprise, if he is caught, he will not only be stripped of his reputation, but also go to prison.
"Little sister, what do you think of your sixth brother as?" Yan Tongliang reached out and pinched Yan Hao's cheek.
Yan Hao hurriedly apologized with a smile, "I said the wrong thing, sixth brother, don't be angry." β
"What are you angry about? Sixth Brother will never be angry with you. Yan Tongliang said with a smile.
As he spoke, the carriage turned to the main street, slowed down, the prince turned to safety, the grandson was found, and there were more people on the street than in previous days. Yan Hagi pulled down the curtain, and he was getting older, and his appearance was beginning to show his edge, although the Yan family was not afraid of things, but there was no need to cause trouble. Many girls with outstanding looks will wear hats when they go out.
It didn't take long to arrive at Mingxiang Pavilion, Li Yichun hadn't arrived yet, Yan Hagi reported Li Yichun's name to his buddies, and successfully entered the box; Not long after sitting down, Qiao Huaiqing, Yu Qingqing and Yu Zhilin arrived at the same time.
"Fifth cousin Yu, you sent Qingqing here again." Yan Hagi said with a smile.
"It's okay at home, by the way." Yu Zhilin said with a smile.
"Hey, why hasn't Yichun come yet?" Yu Qingqing asked.
"I don't know." Yan Hagi frowned, Li Yichun was the east, it stands to reason that she should arrive first, "It may be that there is something delayed at home." β
Yan Hagi's guess is not far away, Li Yichun was about to go out when he was entangled by several former girlfriends; After the accident of the crown prince and grandson, these people stopped associating with her. Now that the crown prince and grandson have returned safe and sound, they have appeared again.
Li Yichun was bored and didn't want to pay attention to them, but her temperament was too soft, and her years of good boudoir upbringing also made her unable to speak ill of her; When she finally got rid of these people and rushed to Mingxiang Pavilion, it was already past the appointed hour, "I'm really sorry, I'm going to go to the back instead." β
"It's nothing, we're all so familiar, we don't have to talk about those false clichΓ©s, you see, we didn't say anything polite to you, we didn't wait for you to come, we ordered tea and pastries first." Yan Hagi smiled.
"That's it, sit down and have tea." Yu Qingqing poured a cup of tea with a pot.
"This pastry tastes good, you try a piece." Qiao Huaiqing picked up the plate and handed it to Li Yichun.
Li Yichun raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you." β
At this time, a gong came in from outside, and then I heard a crisp female voice singing: "Three paths are pine and bamboo, and five acres are full of smoke." The ...... of the house Hundreds of wine fights are careers. The roots of goodness are not endless, and the cinnamon branches of Yangui can be waited, who is boasting for you......"
"Hey, when did this Mingxiang Pavilion stop telling books and change the song girl to sing a small song?" Yan Tongliang asked in surprise.
Everyone looked out of the open window facing the hall, and in the hall a singer in a plain white dress with a pink flower on her head was singing.
"What do you mean by wearing white clothes and pink flowers?" Yu Qingqing asked puzzled.
"As the saying goes, women should be pretty and filial, and men should be pretty with soap. She shouldn't be Dai Xiao, so she will have a pink flower on her head. Yan Hagi smiled, it's okay to wear black, but it's taboo to wear white, just like Yan Hagi is wearing white clothes today, but it is dotted with thumb-sized powder blue flowers, wearing an aqua blue dress, refreshing and elegant.
After the singer finished singing, the old man who played the moon qin took the gong and begged for a reward, and those who could come to the Mingxiang Pavilion to drink tea, even if they were sitting in the hall, were all people with a few spare money, and saw that the singer was about sixteen or seventeen years old, cardamom years, delicate appearance, and delicate skin like jade......
Delicate as jade?
Yan Hagi frowned, a woman walking on the rivers and lakes, experiencing wind, frost, snow and rain, how could this skin be so well maintained? Yan Hao was suspicious in his heart, looked at the tea guests sitting in the hall, and saw Zhao Yanqing, the eldest prince of the Chengguo Mansion.
"Won't it?" Yan Hagi muttered to himself.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Li Yichun asked.
"Nothing." Yan Hagi shook her head, the Duchess of Chengguo shouldn't be so stupid, right? One ploy is used twice.
After receiving a round of reward, the singer sang the second song, "The whole place is full of light and green branches...... Swallows fly by the emu pond, and bees make noise in the begonia flowers. A spring of heart ......"
A group of prodigal children entered the teahouse at this time, and they went straight to the singer, squeezing their eyebrows, and laughing and teasing the singer with obscene words.
"When did the security in Kyori become so bad?" Yu Zhilin said unhappily. In places like Mingxiang Pavilion, where noble sons and noble women often come and go, basically ruffians dare not come in, for fear of offending nobles.
"I'm afraid that this group of people and that singer were arranged to act." Yan Hagi said with disdain. Duchess Chengguo doesn't know what kind of brain it is? Zhao Yanqing made it clear that he was a person who was not a woman, and he used a beauty trick, but he wasn't fooled, so use other schemes? Also use beauty tricks. It's really boring!
"Little sister, what do you see?" Yan Tongliang asked curiously.
"Don't you see?" Yan Hagi asked with an eyebrow.
Yu Zhilin smiled lightly: "That singer is not like a wanderer. β
Li Yanchun bowed his head, they didn't see singers who sang, and those singers didn't have fine skin and tender meat.
"Who would arrange such a play? Who is it for? Yu Qingqing asked.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you think?" Yu Zhilin asked with a smile, he knew that Yan Hagi was very smart, so he wanted to take the test.
Yan Hao's eyes lit up, "I'll tell you something first." Yan Hagi simply said what happened on the way back to Beijing last year, and pointed to Zhao Yanqing in the hall, "The eldest prince of the Chengguo Mansion is sitting there." β
"The stepmother is unkind and vicious, and the Buddha will not forgive her." Li Yichun said solemnly.
"Well, eighteen layers of hell after death." Qiao Huaiqing said.
Downstairs, the old man playing the moon qin was loudly scolding: "Lang Lang Qiankun, in broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare you do this?" Is there any royal law left? β
"Wang Fa? Hmph, Lao Tzu's surname is Wang, Lao Tzu is called Wang Fa, you old thing, get out of the way, don't disturb Lao Tzu's good deeds. "The leader of the prodigal is arrogant and authentic.
"What are you going to do?" The singer asked in a trembling voice, her face full of fear.
"Little lady, what do you think we do?" Wang Fa grinned and approached the singer.
"You...... Robbing people's daughters, aren't you afraid that I will go to the government to sue you? "The singer is very inward-looking.
Wang Fa looked up to the sky and smiled, "I'm afraid that the government won't dare to accept your paper." β
"Daddy." The singer shouted.
The old man rushed forward, "You can't do this. β
In the next play, in Yan Hao's opinion, it was really too bad, and the old man actually stopped the group of swingers with his own strength, so that the singer had the opportunity to run to Zhao Yanqing's side for help, "Childe help, son help." β
Yan Tongliang pouted, "Such a shoddy plan is also a calculating person, is Zhao Yanqing really a fool?" β
"It's the Duchess of Chengguo who is stupid, and Zhao Yanqing is not a demon in color." Li Yanchun said disdainfully.
"I'm afraid I think Zhao Yanqing will pity the jade." Yu Zhilin looked at Yan Hagi lying on the window, "What a man should pity is his wife and children, not the broken flowers and willows outside." β
Yan Hao glanced back at Yu Zhilin and said approvingly: "What Cousin Yu said is right. β
The corners of Yu Zhilin's lips raised slightly.
"Little sister, what do you say Zhao Yanqing will do?" Yan Tongliang stabbed Yan Hagi's arm.
"Ignore it and walk away." Yan Hagi said eight words.
Zhao Yanqing really did as Yan Hao said, and saw him put down the teacup and said to the people at the table: "I wanted to have a good tea chat, but it seems that it will not work today, Brother Qian, Brother Dan, let's make an appointment another day." β
"Brother Zhao Xian, walk slowly." The two men also stood up and bowed their hands.
Zhao Yanqing didn't even look at the singer who ran in front of him, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and he didn't forget to show off the amorous singer, so he raised his legs and left. The singer was stunned for a moment, she thought that with her appearance, she would be able to catch it, but she didn't expect Zhao Yanqing to be unmoved.
"Childe." The singer reached out and grabbed the hem of Zhao Yanqing's clothes for her.
Zhao Yanqing turned around and pulled out the hem of his clothes, and said coldly: "Go back and tell your master, if you want to harm me, just make some tricks, don't make these tricks that can't be put on the table." β
Zhao Yanqing walked away, and at this time, the shopkeeper in the store finally rushed over and blasted out the singer, the old man and the group of prodigals. This farce ended like this.
"It's worth drinking this tea today, I watched a scene in vain." Yu Qingqing grinned.
"The tea has been drunk, the drama has been watched, we should disperse." Yan Hagi got up and smiled.
"It's not early, but since it's out, it's better to go to have lunch together, Qingqing has a treat." Yu Zhilin was reluctant to let Yan Hagi leave so soon, but he was afraid that he would say that he was in a treat, so Yan Hagi would not go, so he was pretending to be his cousin.
"Why do you want me to have a treat?" Yu Qingqing asked.
"The day before yesterday, Xiaoxiao was invited, and today's tea was invited by Miss Li, and it will be your turn for lunch." Yu Zhilin explained seriously.
"Okay, no problem, I'll invite you to lunch." Yu Qingqing replied briskly.
"Then I'll have dinner." Qiao Huaiqing is generous and authentic.
"If you want to treat another day, you will be outside all day, and the elders in the family will be worried." Yan Hagi hurriedly stopped Qiao Huaiqing, who loved to join in the fun.
The group changed places and went to the restaurant to eat.
Just when Yan Hao and the others were watching the play, among the six people who went to the Anguo Mansion yesterday, in addition to the county lord Wen, the other five came to the door again, unlike yesterday, they arrived before and after, and they met today.
Han Shi was stunned when he heard the report, "They are really here again!" β
"To see or not to see, ma'am?" The maidservant asked.
"If you don't see it, just say ......" Han thought for a while, "just say that I am not in the mansion and go to the stone nunnery to worship the Buddha." She didn't want to pay attention to those girls who came with a purpose.
So these five young ladies failed to enter the Anguo Mansion and went home sullenly.
Yan Hagi and others went to the restaurant, because it was a meal, the restaurant was full of people, and the business was very good. The guy stepped forward and beckoned, "A few people come in." β
said that he was talking about letting his cousin have a treat, but it was Yu Zhilin who spoke, "I want a private seat on the second floor." β
"Childe, I'm really sorry, this seat has been booked, and there are still two or three tables in the lobby, do you think the position on the inside is good?" The guy laughed.
"Not a single seat?" Yu Zhilin frowned, the first time he invited Yan Hagi to dinner, how could he sit in the hall?
"Childe, it's really gone, if there is, how dare the little one not arrange it for you?" The guy just doesn't have the eyesight anymore, looking at the clothes of these people, he also knows that if he is not rich, he is expensive, and he dares to slack off.
"Let's change places." Yu Zhilin turned around and was about to walk out.
"Cousin Yu, it's a meal now, I'm afraid that there will be no seats in other shops, that table is in the middle, it's good to sit there, no one will disturb you, what do you think?" Yan Hagi asked Li Yichun for the opinions of the three people.
"It's not interesting to sit in a private seat all the time, but today we will eat in the hall and listen to the words of the market." Li Yichun readily agreed.
She didn't mind, Yu Qingqing and Qiao Huaiqing wouldn't mind, if everyone sat down at that table, while waiting for the food to be served, while listening to the small talk of the people next to her, it was a coincidence that a few people at the table next to her were talking about Li Yichun's rumors.
"When the prince and grandson had an accident, they both said that the princess didn't choose well."
Li Yanchun's face was slightly gloomy, and Li Yichun called softly, "Little brother." Shaking her head slightly, she had heard such rumors a long time ago, and she didn't care.
"Yes, it is said that the concubine is not virtuous and unblessed, and she will kill her father-in-law and kill a man as soon as she gets married."
Li Yanchun clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.
"Now that the crown prince and grandson are fine, it can be seen that those rumors are not credible."
"Rumors, rumors, a few are true, everyone listen to them, don't be gullible."
"They say that the assassination of the crown prince is related to the king of Chu, what do you think?"
"Don't talk about this, so as not to get into trouble, say something else, say something else" A middle-aged man who seemed to be more stable and didn't participate in the conversation just now stopped them.
These people listened to his persuasion, changed the topic, and talked about going to the Qinglou to drink flower wine, "That jade fat is really as good as her name, touching her is like touching a good mutton fat jade." β
"I still like Xiangxiang, the two balls on her chest, I really love it."
Listening to these obscene words, Yan Hagi regretted a little and proposed to sit in the hall to eat, and Yu Zhilin was about to go over and ask them to change the topic, when he heard someone say: "Xiaoxiao, why do you sit in the hall to eat?" β
