Yang Jinyao giggled and said, "You don't know each other." However, I'll sue you, don't sue others! ”

"Hmm."

"His name is Du Yan."

“……！” The name was like a rock thrown from behind and slammed into the back of my head, stunning. I looked at her with wide eyes: "What did you say!?" ”

Seeing me like this, Yang Jinyao was also stunned: "What, do you know him?" ”

"Say it again, what's his name?"

"Du, Du Yan."

“……”

I gasped.

Seeing me like this, Yang Jinyao also understood, and had an incredible expression: "What, do you really know him?" ”

I nodded.

Du Yan, Du Yan!

This name is by no means unfamiliar, although he didn't say a few words to me, but this person is deeply engraved in my mind, but what I really didn't expect was to hear his name from Yang Jinyao's mouth.

I suppressed my heartbeat and said, "The people in the palace, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, right? ”

Yang Jinyao hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes!" ”

This time, she was also stunned: "I really know each other!" ”

I was also a little surprised.

Speaking of which, the capital is really small, and when you talk about a person casually, almost all of them are inextricably linked with these people, but I still can't accept it, especially when I think of Du Yan's ice-like face, I see that no one has a few words, and I will actually become a "brother" with this frank Miss Yang, which is really in response to the old saying - if you live for a long time, you can see anything!

Yang Jinyao looked back at me, her face was still full of incredulity: "Sister Yan, how did you know him?" ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "You forgot where I escaped from. ”

She'll be at once reckless.

I escaped from the palace from the hands of the emperor, and Du Yan is a member of the Praetorian Guard, of course she may have something to do with me, but she would not have thought that this time Du Yan also followed Wu Yanqiu to Xichuan, and even was injured in Yangzhou to protect the emperor.

However, I suddenly remembered what Yang Jinyao said just now - "He himself is about to get married, how can he be my sweetheart."

Du Yan, you're about to get married?!

I vaguely remember that when I was in Shudi, when Du Yan said the words "I want to marry her" to me with a handsome face like an ice cube, the perseverance on his face and the certainty in his eyes, he was in order to make meritorious service, so that the queen could be gracious and able to marry Shui Xiu, so he followed Wu Yanqiu to a dangerous place like Xichuan, and later when he was guarding the emperor, he was in a hurry to make meritorious service, and was seriously injured!

Now, Yang Jinyao told me that he was about to get married, could it be that he said-

At this moment, outside the courtyard, there was a sound of footsteps across a wall, there should be someone walking in line, Yang Jinyao heard this, his face also changed, and he said in a low voice: "Oh no, they are about to change shifts, and it will be too late if I don't go back." Sister Yan, I'll go back first, and when my father and mother let me out, I'll come to you again! ”

After saying that, without waiting for me to say anything more, she rushed out at once.

This girl, although she is a famous lady, is like a weasel, her movements are fast and neat, and she swoops into the night, and in the blink of an eye she can't even see the shadow.

I stood at the door, still a little stunned, but seeing that it was dark outside, a team of guards passed by the courtyard gate, and saw that I was still standing at the door with the door open, and came over cautiously to ask, I hurriedly said a perfunctory word, and closed the door.

Outside, it slowly quieted down.

But my heart can't be still.

The news brought by Yang Jinyao is not earth-shattering news, but it has caused a lot of waves in my heart.

When I blew out the candles on the table and fell on the soft bed, the familiar faces kept flashing in front of my eyes-the stubborn and loyal Shui Xiu, the cold Du Yan, and the contradictory, incomprehensible eyes of Xiaofuzi all appeared so clearly in front of my eyes.

Du Yan is getting married, is it really Shui Xiu that he wants to marry?

So, what about the water show? Is she really willing? Xiaofuzi, how does he treat this qiē?

I slowly fell asleep in a mixture of conflicting thoughts, and by the time I woke up from a heavy dream, it was already dark outside.

The capital is different from the south of the Yangtze River, the festival is short and the night is long in autumn and winter, the sky is brighter, and the actual time is not late. I hurriedly got up, and Cai Wei also came to serve. Luckily, I'm just here as a guest, with nothing to do, and I don't delay anything when I wake up late, but I'm a little embarrassed. In a few moments, the attendant brought what was a sumptuous breakfast to my room.

Cai Wei and I ate and drank briefly, and then—and then we had nothing to do again.

Fortunately, soon, something was done.

Not long after breakfast, Mrs. Yuerong came to my room.

I once heard Yang Jinqiao say that after her mother died, she was ostracized and bullied by several other ladies in the family, including this Mrs. Yuerong, so I didn't have much affection for her, but as soon as she entered the door, she was extremely enthusiastic, smiled, and said very attentively: "Miss Yan, I slept well last night." ”

I smiled faintly, "TOEFL, I slept well." ”

"Is there any shortage? Can people still use it? If they don't obey, Miss Yan will sue me, and I will let them beat them. ”

"Nope. Mrs. Yuerong was too polite. ”

"Then, the little girl didn't bother Miss Yan last night, right?"

“……”

I was slightly stunned, and when I saw her smiling, I also understood.

Yang Jinyao comes and goes freely in the mansion, and she will not leave no trace at all, it seems that this lady is not as simple as I imagined, and she is not completely blind to some things in the mansion.

However, I didn't break it, I just smiled and said, "Where, where." ”

"That's good," she said as she walked to the table with me and sat down, and said with a smile: "Miss Yan doesn't know, my daughter, she has been so stubborn and willful since she was a child, and she doesn't know who her temper is. ”

I laughed and didn't speak.

It's just that I can't help but think of Yan Qingchen, who can only spend the second half of his life in a wheelchair.

"This girl has a strong temper and refuses to listen to anyone's words, but I never expected that Miss Yan would persuade her with just one word. It's really a matter of our hearts as parents! ”

I was stunned for a moment: "She-"

"She finally stopped making trouble, and promised not to sneak out."

"So, did she agree to the marriage?"

"Not yet. It's just that as long as she doesn't make trouble, things will be much easier. ”

"Oh......"

"Miss Yan, you don't know, this marriage has actually been considered for more than a year, just because she is always so troublesome, and our fathers and mothers are also disgraced. Now that Miss Yan has convinced her, she has really done us a great favor! ”

I smiled: "Lady Yuerong, don't be polite. ”

She smiled and only waved her hand: "You're welcome, you're welcome." ”

I smiled and asked, "So, what are Lord Yang and Lady Yue Rong going to do next?" ”

"As long as she doesn't make trouble, this matter will be much easier. Even the old man was relieved, saying that things could be slowed down, and after his sixtieth birthday, he would make good arrangements. Saying that, she sighed again: "Now these girls, all of them are confused, how can they be like us back then, marriage is not the order of their parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can she make her own decisions." ”

I didn't speak, just smiled.

Mrs. Yuerong also laughed: "Ouch, look at my chatter, Miss Yan don't bother me." ”

"What did Mrs. Yuerong say?"

As she spoke, she looked out again, and said, "Oh, it's getting late, I'm leaving." ”

I looked at her: "Is there anything else to do with Mrs. Yuerong?" ”

"Yes," she said with a smile: "Wu Yanqiu's promotion to the head of the household department is a big deal, I heard that many people in the court have gone to congratulate him, but the lord has not moved, and today, it is time to go over and take a look." ”

"Oh, that's the right thing."

"Yes, besides, this girl should have been told sooner or later."

I smiled and said, "I don't know what Lord Wu's attitude is towards this family business?" ”

Mrs. Yuerong glanced at me, her eyes seemed to be a little dazed, it seems that she only cares about her daughter all the time, but she has never thought about what the attitude of the possible future son-in-law is towards this family business.

Seeing that she was speechless, I hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll say it in passing, don't mind, madam." ”

She smiled wryly, said a few more polite words to me, and then turned to leave.

Then, I had nothing to do in the room again, fortunately, Yang Wanyun explained to those attendants, and a few maids saw that I was bored, so they sent me some words in the market, and I didn't say anything, so I just thanked him, and then pulled a book and leaned against the window to look.

After a while, it was time for lunch.

It is still a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the Yang Mansion is really not wronged at all at this point, and as soon as I sat down, I heard a sound of footsteps outside, and it just stopped at our door. As soon as he looked up, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Yang Jinyao stood at the door holding on to the door frame: "Sister Yan." ”

"Jin Yao? Why are you here again? ”

"I'll come and eat with you."

Her face was red, as if she had just run a distance, but she was not seen gasping. I didn't ask much, but when I saw her walk in and sit down, I handed Cai Wei a color, and Cai Wei hurriedly served her a bowl of soup and carefully served it to her.

Yang Jinyao took the bowl and drank half a bowl with a bang.

This girl really doesn't look like a famous lady, not only is she straightforward, but she doesn't have the restrictions of so many famous ladies, there is always a natural sense of freshness, which makes people can't help but get close to her.

I looked at her with a smile, waited until she had drunk half a bowl of soup, as if she had quenched her thirst, wiped her mouth and put down the bowl, and then asked, "What's wrong with you, where did you go?" ”

"Hmm." She nodded, and looked back again, there was no one else inside or outside the house, only Cai Wei stood next to her, I smiled and said, "Cai Wei is my girl, it's okay." ”

Yang Jinyao nodded, and then said to me: "I saw that Wu Yanqiu." ”

"Huh?"

My eyes widened: "Where did you see that?" ”

"My father and mother, and my aunt went to congratulate him on his promotion, in a restaurant. I sneaked to see it. ”

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak: "You actually sneaked out and secretly went to see him?!" ”

"That's right. Didn't you say, let me figure out who he is? ”

"So you're going?"

"That's right! But don't worry, I didn't let them find out that I wore a set of clothes that my second brother left at home and pretended to be a man. ”

"Huh?"

"But it's so dangerous, I peeked at them in another room, and I was about to leave, but when I went downstairs, he happened to come out and collided with me, knocking my hat off."

"What about him, does he recognize you?"

"No, of course not. He hasn't seen me. Besides, I ran faster than a rabbit and ran away with a whoosh! ”

When she said this, I couldn't help but laugh: "You really are." ”

"Hey, it's too slow for people to ask about anything. Besides, as you said, I may not like what others think is good. The person I'm going to marry still has to go and see for myself. ”

"Well, that's what I said, but you're too-"

Too bold.

After all, she is still a famous lady, and she actually disguises herself as a man and secretly runs to meet the man who has a marriage contract with her, I recall the market scripts I just watched, which have the scenes of these young ladies and scholars having a private meeting in the back garden, but I didn't expect Yang Jinyao to make such a play.

"No one found out anyway." She was very grinning and didn't care at all, and after speaking, she couldn't help but laugh again, and then said: "It's a shame to go out this time, and I finally know who I want to marry." ”

I took a deep breath, finally swallowed the shock I had just had, and said, "So, what do you think of him when you see him?" ”

Yang Jinyao didn't speak immediately, just blinked her big eyes, as if she was thinking.

I didn't ask, I just looked at her.

Feeling, when she saw Wu Yanqiu, she didn't seem to be angry or resistant, at least for now, she was still calm.

Just waited for her to think for a while, and finally spoke, but with a little deliberate disgust, she said: "He, he is not too good-looking!" ”

I couldn't help but laugh a little.

In terms of appearance, Wu Yanqiu is indeed not a very outstanding beautiful man, but his demeanor is not comparable to those ordinary beautiful men.

So, I smiled and said, "If a man wants to lean on his face, isn't that inferior?" ”

She listened, but did not refute, only nodded slightly.

"Now that we've met, what do you think of the other person? In addition to looks. ”

"Hmm-" She put one hand on her cheek, thought for a while, and blushed for some reason: "He, his voice is quite good." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm." She nodded, not paying attention to my smiling expression, but continued to fall into the memory, and said intermittently: "Also, he seems to have a lot of strength. ”

"How do you know?"

"When I bumped into him, I almost fell downstairs, and he grabbed me, uh, by one hand."

I took a look at her slightly reddened ear, thinking that the scene at that time should not be as simple as "pulling", this little girl's eyes were originally bright, and this moment was even more flickering, as if the starlight had melted in.

The smile in my eyes deepened.

It took her a while to wake up from a dream, and when she looked up, she looked into my smiling eyes, and immediately understood what was coming, and suddenly her face turned red with a brush, but she refused to be convinced and shouted in a low voice: "What are you laughing at?!" ”

"I'm not smiling."

"Nonsense, you're laughing!"

"Oh, then it's up to you to laugh at me?"

She was so choked by me that she couldn't speak, she could only glare at me, and even the roots of her ears were red this time, but she couldn't help it, holding her face and laughing.

Just as we were talking and laughing, and I was amusing her even more, there was another sound of footsteps outside.

A shadow appeared in the doorway, over us.

Yang Jinyao and I turned our heads at the same time, but saw Mrs. Yuerong standing at the door, looking at us with a solemn face.

I was a little stunned for a while, and I didn't react, but Yang Jinyao quickly got up: "Mother? How are you—"

"Jin Yao go back to the room!"

Before she could say anything, she heard Lady Yuerong say in a deep voice.

Both of us froze there.

Her mood didn't seem to be very pleasant.

Didn't they go to celebrate Wu Yanqiu's ascension today? It should be a very pleasant thing, why look at her now, as if she came back from anger.

Could it be that after Yang Jinyao left, something happened to them?

I looked at her with doubts, but Yang Jinyao was still a little confused, and said softly: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

"Mother told you to go back to the room immediately!"

Mrs. Yuerong sighed more aggravated, and two maids came out behind her, also with solemn expressions, and walked to Yang Jinyao's side: "Miss, please go back to the room." ”

Yang Jinyao looked at her mother, looked back at me again, and finally walked out obediently, and when she walked to the door, she also glanced at her mother, but Mrs. Yuerong didn't seem to feel anything at all, but the corners of her eyes were slightly red, with a hint of anger. Yang Jinyao pursed her mouth, turned around and walked out dejectedly.

When she left, I saw that Mrs. Yuerong suddenly collapsed and almost fell down as if she had been drained of her strength, but fortunately, Cai Wei was quick and hurried over to help her.

"Madame!"

I also hurriedly walked over: "Mrs. Yuerong, what's wrong with you?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, I saw that tears were already shining in her eyes.

My heart tightened.

Did something really happen to them today?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly helped her to the table and sat down, asked Cai Wei to pour her a cup of tea, and then asked carefully, "Madam, what's wrong?" Is there something hindering Miss Jin Yao's marriage? ”

She looked up at me and didn't speak, but the desperate but sad look in her eyes was already clear.

My heart couldn't help but clench.

Really?

However, the biggest obstacle to Yang Jinyao's marriage to Wu Yanqiu is that Yang Jinyao has always refused to obey her parents' orders, but now it seems that she has a good impression of Wu Yanqiu, and this obstacle no longer exists; Moreover, this marriage is the marriage of the imperial businessman Yang Wanyun and the queen's family, such a thing can be said to be a match made in heaven, and it is also a big event, who else has the ability to hinder them?

Could it be-
