Cai Wei and I glanced at each other, both of us looking surprised.

It's already so late, and Yang Wanyun also told the people in the house when he was having dinner before, don't bother me if you have nothing to do, who came to me so late?

I thought about it, and glanced at Cai Wei, she hurriedly walked to the door, and asked tentatively, "Who?" ”

"I, I'm here to find Miss Yan."

That clear but extremely stubborn voice, although I only heard it once, left a deep impression on me, and I immediately remembered it-Yang Jinyao!

Cai Wei glanced back at me, and when she saw me nodding immediately, she stretched out her hand to open the door, and sure enough, she saw Miss Yang, who was dressed in Ayaluo, but her sideburns were scattered, and she was a little wolf, standing at the door, and when she saw us open the door, she immediately showed a happy smile on her face, and she walked in directly without me opening her mouth: "Miss Yan!" ”

I hurriedly got up from my couch.

She was not afraid of life at all, she walked directly into the house, walked to my side, and grabbed my hand as soon as she reached out: "Do you remember me?" I'm Yang Jinyao, I'm Sister Jin Qiao! ”

What do you say......

I couldn't help but smile, but she was so enthusiastic, it made me a little confused, and besides, I clearly remember that Cai Wei said that she was locked up today, why did she suddenly come to me now?

It was difficult to break free by her hand, so she could only look up at Cai Wei, she nodded and retreated, and closed the door with her hand.

I smiled at this time: "Miss Yang, please sit down first, sit down." ”

She nodded, still holding my hand, as if I had seen a relative, I was a little sweaty by her hot palm, but I couldn't break free, I could only be held by her, the two of them walked to the table and sat down, she was still very excited, and said: "I have known you for a long time, and I have heard about you, and today I finally see you!" ”

I smiled, "How do you know me?" How did you hear about me? ”

"In the past, every time Sister Jin Qiao went home, she often talked about you, and at that time, you were just a maid in Shangyang Palace."

"Ah......h

That was many years ago.

I smiled faintly, and Yang Jinyao continued: "Later, there were also rumors about you among those dignitaries and nobles in the capital, do you know, they all said that the Celestial Empire has been established for so many years, and you are the first woman who dares to want the emperor and walk away from the emperor!" ”

As she spoke, a look of envy and admiration in her eyes almost welled up: "I think you are really amazing! ”

“……”

I don't know what to say.

Speaking of which, after living for so long, it was the first time I had met a girl who admired me so much, and I was a little confused, and besides, her words - I really couldn't laugh or cry. The past that made me feel so painful was actually the longing of a girl, just looking at her simple and clean eyes, but I couldn't tell her that I had paid what price I had paid for leaving the emperor's hands, and how much did the people who loved me pay for me.

I just smiled faintly.

Surrounded, quiet as always.

Yang's mansion seems to be a very stable mansion, just like the owner of this house, after nightfall, except for the sound of banging in the distance, there is really no sound at all, but Yang Jinyao's appearance made my room feel a little lively and boiling, I thought about it, or asked directly: "Miss Jin Yao came to me, why is it expensive?" ”

She hurriedly said, "Don't you be polite to me, okay?" I like you very much, and my sister likes you too, you don't want Miss Miss to call me, so much life! ”

I smiled and looked at her silently.

She then remembered that when she first came in, she also called me "Miss Yan", patted the back of my hand, and said, "Okay, you can call me Jin Yao, I'll call you Sister Yan, okay?" ”

When the master said this, I couldn't refuse, so I smiled and nodded in agreement.

It seemed that she had pulled the distance from me like this, she was even happier, and her hand holding me was tighter, but her voice was lowered: "Sister Yan, I, I'm here to find you and want to talk to you." ”

"What are you talking about?"

As soon as I heard that she didn't sneak out and asked me to help her escape or something, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, after all, I was just a guest at Yang's house, and I didn't plan to make waves here, but I expected that she was going to talk about the topic, which made me feel faintly worried.

Sure enough, she said: "My father and mother want me to marry an official." ”

"Oh......"

"Wu Yanqiu, I heard that I was just promoted to the head of the household department a while ago."

"Oh......"

Tobe Shangshu?

It was Liu Qinghan who served before, and it seems that after he left, someone immediately took on this vacancy.

I only had it on my mind for a moment, and then I smiled and said, "That's a big deal." Do you still have any doubts about this marriage? ”

Her eyes darkened when I said that.

I smiled, "What's wrong?" ”

Her ruddy cherry mouth curled slightly, and she was silent for a while before looking at me: "Even you think that other people are in high positions and power, so this marriage should be taken for granted?" ”

"Uh......"

These words stumped me.

I remembered what she had just said to adore me, because I was the first woman who refused to be confined to the royal family and stubbornly fled from the emperor's hands, and now these words obviously disappointed her a little.

For a moment, there was a bit of "walking off the altar" loss.

I thought about it, and I didn't express my opinion directly, but asked with a smile: "Then, Jin Yao, what do you think of this marriage?" What do you think of Lord Wu? ”

Her cheeks puffed up slightly, as if she was a little angry, and said in a dull voice: "My father, don't ask me if I want to marry the one surnamed Wu." Isn't it because he is in a high position and is from the queen's side? At the beginning, they were also to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, so they sent Sister Jin Qiao to Shangyang Palace, and now it's me again! ”

“……”

"I'm not so easy to control, besides, didn't Sister Jin Qiao leave later? If they push me again, I'll leave too! I'm the same as Sister Jin Qiao, and I'll never come back! ”

I was taken aback: "Jin Yao, don't be impulsive!" ”

Although she spoke in a very angry tone, she didn't seem to be planning to act immediately, and when I said this, the sound of snoring and panting also subsided.

When she calmed down, I thought about it, recalled what Mrs. Yuerong said in the hall today, and what Cai Wei had heard, so I asked in a low voice: "Jin Yao, you don't want to agree to this family business, is it because you- uh, you have a sweetheart?" ”

She glanced at me, but in surprise, shook her head.

"Huh?"

"I didn't."

"Huh?"

Seeing my stunned expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You must have heard them say that I was going to elope, so I thought I had a sweetheart outside, so I refused to agree to this marriage, right?" ”

"Hmmm......"

"I didn't. That man was just a good brother of mine. ”

“……”

Hearing that the eldest lady of such a Houmen embroidery household has a "good brother", such a title makes me a little funny, but Yang Jinyao doesn't care at all, and says very seriously: "He himself is about to get married, how can he be my sweetheart?" He didn't want me to marry someone he didn't like, but he didn't agree to let me leave, I went out today, I wanted to discuss with him, but who knows, they caught me as an elopement and locked me up. ”

"Locked up? And how are you—"

Yang Jinyao sneered again: "Oh, do you really lock me up like a prisoner, but just find a room to stuff me in, I can climb out of the window at any time." Besides, when and where the guards in this mansion passed, I have seen it since I was a child, and I have long been clear. Sister Yan, don't worry, I won't bother you, when we finish talking, I will go back by myself, and I will never make trouble for you. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I couldn't help but remember that when I was in Jinling Mansion, it was the same when I ran away from Li'er, so many people in the mansion didn't stop her, and I wanted to be like Yang Jinyao, I was too familiar with them, and I couldn't prevent them at all.

At this time, Yang Jinyao said to me again: "Sister Yan, you sue me, if it were you, what would you do?" Will you obediently obey your father and mother and marry that powerful person? ”

I came back to my senses and looked at her clean and clear eyes, and I was a little stunned for a moment.

After being silent for a while, I looked at her with a smile and said, "Jin Yao, then you sue me first, is it because you are resistant to this marriage, is it because you have the experience of Miss Jin Qiao in the past, and you are not willing to let your father and mother call the shots." You don't like people in positions of power, either. ”

She was silent for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Yes!" ”

“……”

"I know how reluctant Sister Jin Qiao is, when she gets married, her eyes are going to cry blind, if it weren't for Brother Yunhui - I don't think she would have married obediently. I also don't like those who are officials, fighting every day, gloomy, I don't like people like that! ”

I smiled: "Then, do you know what kind of person Wu Yanqiu is?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect me to ask such a question, but immediately said, "I know, he is an official, and he is much older than me!" ”

Oh, I didn't expect that.

Wu Yanqiu is over thirty years old, compared to a little girl like Yang Jinyao, she is indeed older, but she is not an old husband and a young wife, and Wu Yanqiu is a person, I have been with him these days, I only think that this person is personable, quite gentlemanly, and calm and introverted, acting steadily, not that first-class layman.

Yang Jinyao shook my hand: "Sister Yan, what will you do?" ”

I looked at her with interest: "Why do you have to ask me?" Do you think I will help you make the right choice? ”

"I—"

"Or," I interrupted, "do you think that if I have rebelled against the Emperor, I will rebel against all the royal princes and nobles like you?" ”

Her face stiffened slightly: "Isn't it?" ”

I smiled faintly.

Sure enough, she is still a little girl who doesn't know the world, thinking about things and doing things is so simple, but everyone comes from this age, my resistance and acceptance of Pei Yuanhao at the beginning, no, I was confused, and when I really knew what I wanted, the person I wanted was irretrievable.

I let out a long sigh, and then said, "Jin Yao, what I want to say is that not everyone who is an official is so annoying. ”

“……”

"Your father's forced arrangement may not be to your liking, but it is not necessarily wrong."

“……”

"Marriage, in fact, in the end, is a matter of two people, you and Wu Yanqiu may be the ones who will spend the rest of their lives together in the future. But you don't even know who Wu Yanqiu is, so you completely deny him and refuse this marriage, which is unfair to him, and you may not be responsible for yourself. ”

She was slightly stunned and looked at me a little stunned: "Huh? ”

I nodded, "Yes." ”

Her mind was obviously in turmoil.

I felt her fingers uncontrollably, pinching the back of my hand slightly, it hurt a little, but fortunately she didn't have long nails, they were all neatly cut, and it didn't hurt me. After pondering for a while, she raised her head and looked at me: "Then, Sister Yan, what kind of person is that Wu Yanqiu?" How is he? Is he a good man? ”

I couldn't help but laugh.

However, I didn't answer her directly, but just said calmly, "Yubi Bodhisattva, in this Nakshatra." Maybe it's good for me, but not necessarily for you; Someone who is the best man in the world to you may be just a passerby to me. ”

"Ah......h

"Think about it."

She looked at me stunned, then looked down and thought for a while before nodding slightly: "It seems to ...... Oh, yes. ”

I laughed.

"So, I don't impose my ideas on you."

“……”

"You are actually more sober than many girls, and you will not blindly cling to the other party because they are rich and powerful, which is of course right, but don't resist because the other party is powerful and powerful, it may not be a good thing for you."

“……”

"Being powerful is just a coat that the world sees, and what kind of person he is is the most important thing for you."

“……”

"As the young lady of the Yang family, of course you have the opportunity to interact with famous families," recalling the conversation between Mrs. Hanyu and me during the day, it was actually very clear that even Yang Jinqiao had a lot of dealings with Shen Rou, Nangong Lizhu, and even Chang Qing when he was a child, and they were not completely strangers to the princes of the royal family, and it was not difficult to know each other's conduct. "What you have is a chance to know what kind of person Wu Yanqiu is. Wait until you really think he's bad......"

I thought about it, but finally swallowed the next words.

I don't want to be the culprit who encourages everyone to run away from home.

However, my words really gave her a little inspiration, she was no longer as impulsive and excited as when she first met me, and her eyes seemed a little confused at the moment, but that kind of confusion was not random, aimless confusion.

I think she'll figure out what she really wants.

She just held my hand and didn't speak, and after a long time, she seemed to wake up from a dream, looked up at me, and said softly, "I know." ”

I smiled and slapped the back of her hand with my backhand.

I did this, also implying that she should let go of me, after all, the back of my hand was just pinched by her, and there were already several red marks, but this girl seemed to be still full of her thoughts, and she didn't care at all, that hand was still holding my hand and didn't let go, and after a while, she said: "Sister Yan, you know that Wu Yanqiu, right?" ”

I nodded: "Yes." ”

"So, what kind of person is he to you?"

“……”

"Is he a layman?"

I couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Although Yang Jinyao is a frank and straightforward girl, but in the end she is talking about a man who may become her husband in the future, and she can't help blushing a little when she sees me smiling like this, but she doesn't squirm, blushing, and looking at me seriously. I really couldn't dislike such a girl, so I looked at her with a smile and said, "Will my words become your reference?" ”

She nodded.

In this way, I can't believe the nonsense, so I seriously recalled it, remembered Wu Yanqiu's envoy to Xichuan, and later in Yangzhou, after thinking for a long time, I slowly said: "He's not a layman. ”

“……”

"In my opinion, he is personable, he acts calmly, and his character is not bad."

“……”

"This is what I have thought of him since I met him these days."

“……”

"But, whether he is to your liking or not, you need to figure it out yourself."

“……”

Perhaps, my words really had an impact on her, and when she heard my evaluation of Wu Yanqiu, she really recognized it, and her eyes kept flashing, as if she was thinking about something.

After a long time, suddenly, I heard three bangs in the distance.

The people who went to the night passed by, and it was already late.

I raised my head and was about to say something, but Yang Jinyao let go of my hand first and said, "I know, Sister Yan, I'll go back and think about it." ”

I smiled and nodded, "Hmm." And you-"

"I'll go back now."

"On the way, nothing will happen, right?"

"No, don't worry, they're going to change shifts now, I'll go back now, no one will know."

I smiled and stood up with her, and both walked out. When she walked to the door, she reached out to hold the door frame, turned back to me, and said, "Thank you, Sister Yan, Sister Jin Qiao is right, you are really a person with brains!" ”

People with brains.

I've heard a lot of comments about myself, both good and bad, but this is the first time I've heard such comments, which makes me a little crying and laughing.

Seeing that she had already opened the door, I suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "By the way, who did you say was you, 'good brother'?" ”
