Chapter 37: Seeing each other facelessly
The days passed day by day, and the day when Nian Yun entered the palace was getting closer and closer, and the palace did not dare to take it lightly.
When Nian Yun was twelve years old, he came to Kwai Shui, and then his body bones grew up like pulling out seedlings, his chest was also swollen, and there was some baby fat on his face, but fortunately, his facial features were grown, and his eyebrows and eyes were clear and beautiful, pleasing to the eye, delicate but not charming, plus fair skin, which belonged to the kind that became more and more durable the more he looked.
Zhang Jiashi was relieved but sad, "Yun'er has grown up, and she will leave her mother soon, I really want time to pass slowly, I hope that my mother's Yun'er will never grow up and stay by my mother's side forever." "The eye sockets are sour.
"Mother's ......" Nian Yun looked at her mother who combed her hair, and she felt very uncomfortable, she also wanted to never grow up, but where could there be such a beautiful thing.
"Mother, I'm kidding." Zhang Jiashi turned his head away and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Yun'er, you will enter the palace in half a year, someone will come to the palace, and your second brother will personally send you off at that time." By the way, when the time comes, you will take Scarlet Jade and Bully Xue into the capital together. ”
"Crimson?" Nian Yun was surprised, "But Scarlet Jade is my mother's personal maid, how can Yun'er take it away." ”
"It's because Scarlet Jade is my maid that I can rest assured that she will follow you. You have a cheerful temperament since childhood, easy to act impulsively, although you have your own ideas, but you have to be very careful in the palace, bully Xue to grow up with you, she disobeys you, there is a scarlet jade in you, you are a mother by your side, some things Crimson will help you watch. And recruit a new maid for you to take away, and you don't have to worry about using it. "Where can Zhang Jia's family not understand his daughter.
Scarlet Jade looked at Nian Yun and saluted slightly, and Nian Yun no longer refused.
Nian Shixun came over and touched Nian Yun's head, "It's not easy for you to go to Linzi alone, so this time my brother will accompany you, and you are not alone." ”
Nian Shixun's heart is also very unpleasant, and the cabbage raised by his own family will be sent to the palace, and Yu Wenhao's kid is cheap.
Nian Yun was slightly stunned, Nian Shixun leaned down and said in Nian Yun's ear, "My mother is busy telling me about kisses, good sister do me a favor, my brother will go to Linzi with you, so that my father and mother will not be looking for a daughter-in-law for my brother all day long." ”
"Poof." Nian Yun couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Jiashi also heard it, and glanced at Nian Shixun reproachfully, "The male should marry and the female should marry, and your brother is already optimistic about the prospective daughter-in-law at your age." ”
"Mother, I'm only seventeen and I'm not in a hurry, besides, a good daughter-in-law can't be found slowly, there are only a few good girls in Yijun, the eldest brother picked up one, and the remaining few have families, I want to meet the right one, I will write back to tell you and my father." Nian Shixun opened his mouth, and this meaning Nian Yun understood.
"Brother, aren't you going to come back when you go to Linzi?" Nian Yun reacted.
"yes." Nian Shixun smiled, "My brother went to Linzi to guard you, so that you would not be bullied." ”
Nian Yun was moved in his heart, and Zhang Jiashi said disgustedly.
"Listen to your brother's nonsense, your brother wants to do business, but your father didn't agree, so he quietly slipped out of Yijun under the pretext of sending you."
"Oh~ I see." Nian Yun grinned, "When the time comes, my brother will earn money, don't forget to give it to me, even if it's hush money!" ”
"You little slippery." Nian Shixun said helplessly.
In late September, the carriage in the palace came, just after Nian Yun's thirteenth birthday, and the father-in-law who came with him was the great eunuch Gu Gonggong in front of Yu Wenhao.
Zhang Jia's eyes were red, and he reluctantly watched the carriage gradually move away, until he couldn't see it, so he didn't turn his head and lie on Nian Si's shoulders and cry. The vassal king cannot return to the capital unless he is recalled, and even if he can still meet, there are very few.
Nian Yun poked his head out of the car window, and after he couldn't see Nian Sizhong and the others, his heart was sullen and reluctant, and he couldn't stop his tears, and he forcibly wiped his tears after a while, looking at Lie Xue and Scarlet Jade, and said crisply, "You two follow me to the capital, if there is a suitable one in the future, I will definitely marry the two of you, and I can't let both of you delay in the palace." ”
Bully Xue shook her head, "County Lord, whoever we assign this identity to is a concubine, and the slave and maid have to serve the county lord for the rest of their lives." ”
Nian Shixun on the horse outside the car was also in a heavy mood, and said quietly when he heard the words in the car, "The cabbage that has been raised for more than ten years is going to be sent to the pig arch in a hurry, and my brother is also very heartbroken." ”
Amused by Nian Shixun's words, Nian Yun lifted the curtain, looked at Nian Shixun who was like a jade figure in the carriage, and smiled, "My brother has a good demeanor, and he is also favored by many daughters in Yijun, and when he waits in Kyoto, he may steal the limelight from those sons and brothers." ”
Nian Shixun is really handsome, and many times Nian Yun can't help but be stunned.
The narrow peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, "Then you have to look for your brother well, maybe your second sister-in-law will rely on you in the future, the future crown princess." ”
Nian Yun pouted.
The old father-in-law on the side thought the words of the brother and sister were interesting, and he couldn't help but smile.
From Yijun to Linzi from the northeast all the way up, the carriage can be reached in more than half a month. Not long after leaving Yijun, the spies sent out by Nian Shixun suddenly came back, and said with a solemn brow, "Second son, there is a situation ahead." ”
"What's going on?"
The spy whispered in Nian Shixun's ear, "My subordinates look like the prince of Fenyang, just waiting on the side of the road." ”
"What does he want to do?"
Nian Shixun frowned, his eyes full of displeasure.
Assassinated the crown prince, if it weren't for the prince and Emperor Qi Xiao's affection, he would have implicated the Nanyang palace several times.
Glancing at the carriage, he was worried about an accident, so he pulled the reins of the horse and left the team with the spy.
At the pass where Yijun must pass to Linzi, Yu Wenzhi looked at the team slowly passing below with a deep gaze, clenched his fists, and was about to turn the horse's head, but was blocked by Nian Shixun.
"The prince of Fenyang is unharmed." Nian Shixun's eyes were slight, and the emotions on the face of Wang Shizi of Fenyang two years ago could not be concealed, but now a pair of eyes seemed to have exhausted all the light.
"Second son."
Yu Wenzhi bowed slightly, he also guessed that he would inevitably be stopped when he came here to see Nian Yun.
"What does the prince of Fenyang want to do here?" Nian Shixun said vigilantly.
Yu Wenzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, "I want to see her again." ”
"Impossible." Nian Shixun sneered, "Everyone knows what the identity of the prince of Fenyang is and what his purpose is, but now that Yun'er has entered the palace, it is a sure thing, and the prince of Fenyang should not struggle anymore." ”
"If I really just have other intentions and settle for the next best thing, I can achieve my goal." Yu Wenzhi took a deep breath, "What the prince of Fenyang needs is not that she has to be. ”
"In that case, why should the prince of Fenyang be obsessed with this." Nian Shixun frowned.
Indeed, there are three major vassal kings in Daqi, and in addition to the king of Nanyang, there is also a king of Xishu.
Yu Wenzhi didn't speak, just took out something from his cuff and handed it to Nian Shixun, "Please also ask the second son to transfer it on his behalf." ”
Nian Shixun didn't take it, but looked closely at the wood carving doll, as if she was eleven years old, she stretched out her hand with a sideways face as if she was lighting something. The traces of a deep and shallow piece on the wood carving are not difficult to see that they are bloodstains.
His heart was slightly complicated, and seeing that Yuwenzhi did not reach his goal, he could only take it helplessly, but he did not promise to transfer it to Nian Yun.
Yu Wenzhi raised his eyebrows. "Thank you, second son." After saying that, he turned the horse's head and left.
Looking sideways, Yu Wenzhi's back was very lonely.
This kid is really sincere to Yun'er.
It's just that......
Shaking his head, he put away some pity in his heart. , received the thing in his arms, only as if nothing had happened, and returned to the team as usual.
Nian Yun was poking her head out and asked curiously, "Second brother, where did you go just now?" ”
Nian Shixun's face did not move, and he said quietly, "Xiao Jie." ”
Cut!
Nian Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes, the ghost only believed it!
The team continued, and the guards came to report, "Second son, the prince of Fenyang is still following." ”
"Leave him alone." Nian Shixun frowned.
After a day's journey, the carriage just arrived in Ningzhou at sunset, Gu Yi looked at the sky and said, "I'm afraid that it will rain at night in this weather, so it's better for us to rest in Ningzhou for a day and set off tomorrow." ”
"My father-in-law can arrange it." When he was young, he was honored with his head.
The group found an inn in Ningzhou to stay.
Ningzhou and Yijun are only separated by one pass, but the customs of Ningzhou and Yijun are different, Scarlet Jade and Xue Xue waited for Nian Yun to finish bathing, changed into clothes, and Nian Yun jumped to find Nian Shixun.
Who knew that Nian Shixun was not in the room, and he was suddenly a little strange.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the wood carving doll on the table, and his eyes lit up, "Eh! Isn't this me? ”
took the doll and looked at it carefully, could it be the third brother? But it was so rough, it didn't look like the third brother's craftsmanship, and his hands were slightly stiff.
"Yun'er, why are you here?"
Nian Shixun, who had finished ordering the defense, came back and saw Nian Yun holding the wooden carved doll that had not had time to destroy the corpse, and couldn't help but slap himself.
"Tsk, second brother, you actually hide my wood carving!" Nian Yun smiled sinisterly, "Could it be that the second brother ...... me"
After speaking, he hurriedly tightened the placket on his chest, shook his head loudly, and said, "No, second brother!" We're brother and sister! ”
Nian Shixun suddenly had a headache, and pointed at Nian Yun's head, "You are beautiful, what kind of mess are you thinking about...... This thing is carved by the second brother when he has nothing to do, and you also know that Shi Yu made these things and was taken away by the prince. The second brother just wants to see if the second brother has this talent, and he will pay me back quickly......"
"I don't!" Nian Yun grinned and put things behind him, "This is mine!" ”
After speaking, he ran back to the room and hid his things, and then went back to find Nian Shixun and dragged him to the street, "It's rare to leave Yijun and go out to have fun." ”
The brother and sister took the guards to visit the night market in Ningzhou.
Not far away, Yu Wenzhi hid in the corner, looking at Nian Yun's smile, and the bitterness in his heart spread.
