Chapter 8: The Pavilion of the Heavenly Character
Chapter 8:
The pastry box was almost bottoming out, she was satisfied, she looked at the last piece of pastry, and suddenly remembered the dough cake made by Gan Meng when she left, her nose was sore, and her eyes were almost red again, she looked up at Wen Jue and said: "Second brother, I met a friend when I entered the palace this time......"
Wen Jue raised his eyebrows, interested, "Yang'er's new friend? Tell me about it? â
Wen Yang continued, "He is a little eunuch in the palace, he is very good, and he can ...... anything I've only been there for a few days, but I feel like he's my best friend...... The dough cakes he made were delicious, and I would like to eat them again if I had the chance......"
Wen Jue asked, "Can it compare to the pastries of Fang Dian Zhai?" â
Wen Yang replied, "Of course, the taste of the cake can't be ......compared, but the friendship and Fangdianzhai can't be compared."
Wen Jue smiled, "It seems that Wen Yang has grown up a lot in the past few days, and now he knows that there is friendship in the world in addition to family affection." â
Wen Yang also smiled, "I also know that if people get together, there may be a day of separation, and if they are separated, there will be a day of reunion, don't be too happy, don't be too sad, there is a separation when you get together, and there is a reunion when you leave." â
Wen Jue nodded in agreement.
"Why didn't the second brother ask the eldest sister?"
"Did you see that?"
"I saw it, the eldest sister was as beautiful as ever, but I always felt that she was not happy. She has a lot of things to do every day, and I don't think she's as happy as she used to be. â
Wen Jue was silent for a while and said, "This is the path that the eldest sister chose by herself, she herself understands it better than anyone else, and we don't have to worry about her." â
Wen Yang thought about it, too, the road is his own, and he can't help others say whether it is good or not, so he doesn't say it anymore.
At noon, after lunch, Wen Yang said that she wanted to go back to the room to rest for a while, and at that time, Tang Zhicai was getting off the horse and coming back, so he hurriedly walked inside.
Wen Yang passed by and saw him across a corridor, so he waved at him and shouted, "Little Brother Tang!" â
Tang Zhi looked back and saw that Wen Yang was smiling at him, so he asked casually, "What about your brother?" â
Wen Yang replied, "He's in the study!" â
"Oh" Tang Zhi answered, didn't say anything more, and hurriedly walked away again.
Tang Zhi rushed to Wen Jue's study and saw that he was sitting on the soft couch and thinking with his forehead propped up, and did not notice him coming in. Tang Zhi knows him well, whenever he hides something and refuses to tell anyone, he is what he is now, thinking alone and ignoring external objects.
"Childe, I'm back."
Wen Jue came back to his senses, saw that the person in front of him was Tang Zhi, and asked, "Why did you come back now?" â
Tang Zhi replied, "Childe, when I was separated from you today to look for Miss Yang'er, I passed by the Shen family......"
When Wen Jue heard the son of the "Shen family", his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a rare fierceness in his eyes, "Oh? â
"I saw Shen Yun and his two sons, Shen Zefeng, Shen Chengxiao......"
Wen Jue hooked his lips and smiled, his slender hand stroked his knife-like chin, and there was a trace of unclear light hidden in his eyes, "The Shen family is back, is there no need for anyone to guard this side, and the emperor dares to let his family come back?" It's amazing! â
Tang Zhi said, "The eldest lady wrote a letter half a month ago, reminding the Heavenly Family that there is a move at this time, I am afraid that something will go wrong, do you want us to send someone to investigate, so as not to be unfavorable to ......the Wen Family."
Wen Jue waved his hand and said, "Today's Wen family is no longer the Wen family of the past, and his Shen family will not act rashly now, after all, he does not have that strength yet, even if there is something by then, the Wen family has already withdrawn from the court, and no matter what happens, it will not fall on the head of the Wen family...... It's just this thing...... I don't know what Daddy thinks......"
Tang Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you ask what the master means?" â
"No, I can't let my father know that I'm in danger with my eldest sister!"
Wen Jue closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since the Shen family came back secretly, then I will go to the meeting, I think Shen Zefeng should be able to send a message to me in the next few days, you need to find someone to keep an eye on the Shen Mansion these days, but you must not show any horses." â
Tang Zhi responded, "Yes! â

Today, Wen Jue changed into a dark blue robe, and the white jade peony ring hung around his waist. Just after the snowstorm, he had to rush to the appointment.
Seeing his second brother's outfit today, Wen Yang couldn't help but praise a few words, "Wow, is the second brother going to meet a beautiful lady again?" Dress so well! â
Wen Jue looked at his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and when he heard Wen Yang say this, he smiled and said, "When is your second brother not in the wind in the jade tree, elegant and chic?" â
Wen Yang burst out laughing, "Yes, yes, who can compare to the second brother who is handsome, then tell me, do you want to see Miss Qingqing again." â
"Your second brother and I are going to Xie Xianju today to make an appointment with friends, as for Miss Qingqing, I haven't been there for a few days, you reminded me, I'll go see her tomorrow if I have nothing to do."
Wen Yang ate a crispy jujube and pretended to be casual and said, "Every time I hear you say how good this Qingqing girl is, I actually really want to go to Jinxianglou to meet her."
Wen Jue looked at her, "You Nizi, have you ever seen a lady go to the Qinglou, if you let your father know about this idea, you will have to bear it." â
Wen Yang pouted, "Then which friend are you going to meet this time?" Why don't you take me with you? I've been at home for a few days, and I'm bored! "My father is not here when I come back these days. The wind and snow were heavy, and Aunt Ma was worried that she wouldn't let her go out, and she didn't go out for several days, and she was going to suffocate to death.
"Yang'er may not know them, the boys go out to drink and have fun, and if you are brought there, you can only sit on the side and shout bored."
"I can drink too!"
When Wen Jue heard this, he picked up the fan and tapped it on her head, "If my father knows, I won't be alive." â
Before walking out of the door, seeing that she was still a little unhappy, so she used the usual tricks to deal with her on weekdays, Wen Jue smiled like a peach blossom and said to her, "Okay, okay, I remember to come back and bring good food to Yang'er, it's always okay!" Your second brother, I also feel very sorry for your sister. â
Wen Yang waved his hand at him and didn't look at him, which was a reluctant compromise.
Wen Jue smiled and left.
But when she stayed later, she had nothing to do and thought carefully about the words that the "mother" had told her in that dream, but to no avail, she felt bored again.
Since the second brother didn't let her go, she quietly went to scare him!
At night, while no one was paying attention, she sneaked out of Xiuyuantai.
At this time, it is the most prosperous time in the capital at night, and everyone has people out to parade the streets, and there are many small vendors on the street, which is very lively.
She wandered around to find Xie Xianju, and began to sigh at the door. This restaurant looks very magnificent, giving people the feeling that people who can enter here are either rich or expensive. It was the first time she had come here, and in the past, she had only heard that ordinary people could not afford to eat the good wine and food on the table in Xie Xianju, but today she could smell the aroma of the food coming from inside just by standing at the door, and she didn't know what kind of delicacy it was.
She was about to go in, but was stopped by the greeting boy at the door.
The rule here is to let the people who should go in, the little girl looked at her from top to bottom, and the girl in front of her looked like although she was still a little girl, but she was not dressed like a child of an ordinary small family, so her tone was still polite, "This guest officer, tell the little one what you need, and the little one will do it for you?" â
Wen Yang was not deeply involved in the world, and she didn't know how to deal with this kind of person, she looked inside, "You just let me in......"
Hehe...... If you don't make it clear, will you go?
"How many of you are here? Eat or drink? Or a feast? Tell me, I'll do it for you! â
The people who passed by were all looking at her, and the people who came in and out of Xie Xianju were also looking at her, she was suddenly a little embarrassed, and her little face was slightly red because she was in a hurry, "You, you, you...... Just let me in! I'm looking for someone! â
The little guy didn't give up, "Who are you looking for?" Shall I give you a briefing? â
"My brother, his name is Wen Jue, do you know him? If you don't know, let me in, he's inside! â
The little guy suddenly understood in his heart, "Oh~ Wen Gongzi, know me!" â
Now, she finally didn't have to say anything.
Wen Yang was about to go inside, but the little girl stopped her again, he knew this Wen Gongzi, and he knew that he had a sister, but who knew if it was the one in front of him?
"Don't worry, I'll report to Gongzi Wen, are you waiting here for a while?"
Inform the second brother? No way! Wouldn't he know she had snuck out to find him?
"Don't, don't! You wait! Don't talk about it! She desperately grabbed the corner of the little girl's sleeve.
Now the little guy doesn't understand in his heart? Isn't it my own sister? Why don't you let you know? Could it be ......
At this time, the later the people came, the more people came, and the little girl didn't have the patience to say anything more to her, so he drove her out.
Seeing that Wen Yang couldn't get in, he felt a little lost in his heart, and he couldn't resist the pressure and took a few steps back.
Suddenly, she was grabbed by the shoulder, and before her brain could react to what was going on, she saw the man bring her to the little guy and say, "The person I brought." â
The little guy looked at it fixedly, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly lowered his head and bowed his waist very attentively, "It turned out to be your friend, the little one has eyes and no beads!" The small one will prepare the food and drinks for you, don't be angry, don't be angry......"
The man in black never glanced at the little maid from beginning to end, but walked straight upstairs through the side of the little maid, Wen Yang was led by him all the way, and the two welcoming maids in front of him who covered their faces with veils took them to the "Tianzihao" attic on the seventh floor of Xie Xianju.
Xie Xianju's "Tianzihao" pavilion is extremely expensive in meaning.
The man in black stopped at the door, someone in the attic was drinking and talking, he let go of his hand, and Wen Yang said "thank you".
The man in black looked at her and said, "You can go looking for your brother now, no one dares to stop you here." After speaking, without waiting for Wen Yang to say another word of thanks, he pushed open the attic door and went in alone.
