Chapter 483: Lady Guo builds a new mansion
In front of him is a mansion still under construction, located in the five houses of the Yang family in Xinghuafang, whether it is the gorgeous and complex building, or the wide area, it has far exceeded the ordinary royal relatives.
Li Siye stood outside the courtyard wall, and he could see the three-storey mountain heavy eaves building inside the wall, which was more than seven zhang high, and it looked like a low-profile version of the calyx building. Tang Law stipulates that court officials are not allowed to rise up tall buildings to look down on others, but if this building is to be built, not only can they look down on others, but almost all of them can look down on the entire Xinghuafang.
"Come, let's go." The carpenters used wheelbarrows to push huge logs one by one into the construction site, and Li Siye reached out and pulled Daorou's shoulders to avoid her.
It is said that this compound was originally the property of the Wei family in Jingzhao Mansion, but Yang Yuyao forcibly demolished it and directly took it for herself, and did not give any compensation, but just found a small mansion for the Wei family elsewhere in Chang'an City. Wei dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, the most domineering royal relatives in history were none other than their Yang family.
Yang Yuyao came slowly from the end of the street and alley, several families opened the way in front, she took advantage of the cool breeze to lie inside, and saw Li Siye standing outside the door of the house, so she ordered someone to stop.
A servant girl bowed forward and stretched out her hand to help her out of the chariot, and the noblewoman turned back and waved her hand and ordered, "Carry the chariot back." ”
The others rushed to retreat as if they had been amnestied, leaving only a little woman and a little eunuch, standing on either side of her like mercury, and they were really virgins.
Yang Yuyao glanced at Dao Rou who was standing behind Li Siye, with a little jealousy in her eyes, pretending to flash inadvertently out of the corners of her eyes, and asked Li Siye with a smile: "Li Lang, wait a minute." ”
This is the mellow and soft lethal voice of the royal sister, which makes Li Siye's ears buccing. She noticed that Li Siye's maidservant had drooping eyes and expressionless faces, so she withdrew her lightning-fast jealous gaze.
"The house is not finished yet, I heard that you are in a hurry to return to the west of the moraine, so I will take you to see it. In fact, you don't need to leave early, with me Yang Yuyao standing here, who dares to make irresponsible remarks! ”
Li Siye laughed dryly and said: "Good steel should be used on the blade, because this little thing is not allowed to be committed for favoritism, let's go, let me go in and visit your splendid garden." ”
"Splendid Huating, haha, that's a good name." Yang Yuyao's smile trembled, pointed to the front of the gate and said, "When the house is completed, I will change the door plaque, and it will be called Splendid Garden." ”
After entering the door, he found that the imagination of these dignitaries and nobles and relatives of the emperor was really poor, and they would only imitate others, and the entire mansion structure was a combination of half Xingqing Palace and half Hot Spring Palace, not to mention the symmetrical arrangement of the courtyard, and the house would not be built without a central axis.
In front of the tallest building against the backyard courtyard wall is a miniature version of the Dragon Pond, which has a long corridor around the pond. He stood at the entrance of the pavilion and looked at the roof, where craftsmen were laying tiles on the eaves, and a group of carpenters were squatting downstairs, working with planers and chisels. Each piece of shingle is lacquered with a green glaze from Tang Sancai. It's a waste of money, a depravity of luxury.
Yang Yuyao leaned on Li Siye's shoulder, raised her arm and pointed upstairs and said: The third floor upstairs is yours. ”
"Mine?" Li Siye was taken aback for a moment and quickly closed his mouth.
"It's just the two of us, to be exact."
He really wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, this woman actually wanted to support him, and the steps of the Yang family were really not easy to rub.
Yang Yuyao's voice suddenly became cold again, and the topic jumped eight hundred miles away: "Who is the woman who followed you outside the door?" ”
"A distant relative of the same clan who was exiled in Gaoling County was bought by me and made a slave."
Yang Yuyao took her head off his shoulder and said, "If you kill her, I can give you good words in front of the saint to ensure that you will be the envoy of the Anxi Festival in the future." ”
Li Siye suddenly turned his head to look at her, this beautiful woman raised her eyebrows upward, and her cherry lips pursed and let out a sarcastic laugh: "What, you are reluctant?" ”
He asked in a mocking tone: "I want to be the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, do I need to kill ten servant girls like this?" Well? ”
Yang Yuyao covered her mouth with a juanpa, and giggled: "You are not greedy enough to swallow elephants, and you still want to be the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, can people become fat in one bite, what do you think?" ”
Li Siye didn't smile, he turned his head to look away, and became disgusted with the woman beside him. After she had laughed, he turned back to her and said, "I have a lady." ”
Yang Yuyao didn't know what funny thing she thought of again, she giggled again, and looked around at the fairy bun swaying with beads and emerald steps. She stopped laughing abruptly, and said with a smile in her eyes: "If you go back and kill your mother, even if I give up this net worth, I will help you ask for this section of Hexi." ”
Li Siye's face changed suddenly: "You're crazy." ”
A hint of cowardice flashed in the corner of her eyes, and then she laughed again: "I'm just joking with you, you see that you are still serious, why are you so careless." You told me that you have face blindness and can't tell whether the women around you are beautiful or not, so what is the difference between me and her, and how can you distinguish between me and her, who is good and who is not? Since you can't tell the difference, what's the use of this lady? ”
In this case, who can still laugh, Li Siye has endured himself and has not raised his hand to slap her with a big mouth.
"I have heard people say that if you marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, you should take a concubine. If, I mean, if you had to choose, would you rather be virtuous, or would you rather be a woman? ”
Yang Yuyao raised her neck proudly and said, "Mrs. Ben is both virtuous and colorful. ”
I really don't have the slightest bit of self-knowledge.
"You can only choose one of them, how do you choose?"
"Of course I have to choose the posture, I Yang Yuyao don't need to be a good wife and mother to anyone, I am already Mrs. Qiuguo now. Now that I am as beautiful as a peony, which man would dare to accept me as a concubine? Do you dare? Li Siye. ”
"Yes, I don't dare."
If you want a green overhead, no one will dare.
The two walked along the stone path through the courtyard, each of which was beautifully constructed, with durable wooden tiles on the roof and stone bricks on the ground. There was a large vat made of white porcelain in the courtyard, so big that Sima Guang couldn't be saved if he fell into it, and the crimson koi fish were wandering in the water.
After traveling around the entire mansion for a week, they were about to separate outside the door of the new mansion, Yang Yuyao suddenly stood on tiptoe, put her hands around his neck, and hung on his body like an ivy and whispered: "I really don't want you to leave Chang'an, leave me, if I beg the saint to leave you in the court, I have to give you an official position to make you satisfied." ”
"I'm not here to be an official, I'm here to ...... In order to make a contribution. ”
Yang Yuyao really smiled, Li Siye's so-called meritorious service, in her eyes, is actually no different from a seven-year-old child asking for sugar gourd, if you want to be rich, why do you need to fight on the battlefield, just Hu Xuan singing and dancing, and flattery in front of the king.
Dao Rou leaned against the door panel of the side door, slowly poked her head out, and peeked at Li Siye and Yang Yuyao flirting inside the door. She quietly retracted her head again, looking up against the door panel and gasping in the air.
When Li Siye and Yang Yuyao walked side by side towards the gate, she hurriedly tiptoed back between the two horses, holding the reins in her left and right hands, pretending to be expressionless.
On the way back for the two, Daorou rode behind him and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Ah Lang, this woman is not a good person. ”
Li Siye turned his head slightly and asked her suspiciously, "You peeked just now?" ”
"No," she quickly lowered her head, masking some of the shy expressions on her face.
Li Siye walked slowly with the reins of the horse in his hand, and his expression became more and more cold, whether it was Yang Yuyao, the wife of the Kingdom of Qiu, who had just been wanton and wild, or this Dao Rou, who was ordered by the prince to approach him to spy on him, it was not worth believing that it was the lady at home who could really make him feel at ease.
