After the emperor pointed out that after the marriage, Shen Mingyuan could not come to see Wei Yang often. The queen also sent a female official to Guiyuan to teach her various rules. Since she was assigned to marry King Qinghe on August 15, the Wei family immediately became the upstart of the imperial court, and the threshold of the two brothers, Wei Bingge and Wei Bingji, was about to be broken by Hexi's people. In the old house of the Wei family in Haixi, Wei Shuping and his wife also began to get busy, preparing a dowry for their daughter.

In fact, Mrs. Wei had prepared Wei Yangyang's dowry a few years earlier, and even she once doubted whether this dowry would have a chance to be used. But Wei Shuping said that now his daughter is not married to an ordinary family, but to the royal family, no matter what, she must not lose the face of the Wei family. When Mrs. Wei heard this, she took the money from the account room and bought it again.

The people who asked to pay a visit at the gate of Guiyuan also lined up. Fortunately, Wei Yangyang has always not accepted outsiders, and whoever wants to find her can only go to the alley to see Wei Bingge, and then Wei Bingge will decide whether she wants to come out to meet. She couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought that the third brother, who was not sociable, was now adding so many new socials every day.

Now in addition to Shen Mingyuan, the only guest who can enter Guiyuan is Wen Ru. On the morning of August 20, Song Wenru took a carriage to Breeze Lane to visit Wei Yangyang. But before she reached the mouth of the alley, the coachman replied to her with a sad face: "Miss Six, there are too many people, I really can't get by, so I can only ask you to get out of the car and walk over by yourself." ”

Wen Ru also heard the bustle outside in the car, as lively as a vegetable market. She lifted the sedan curtain and looked ahead, and saw that there were more people at the Breeze Alley Station than in Dongshi, the cars of officials from all walks of life crowded the road, and there was a long queue at the entrance of the Wei Mansion, all of whom came to have a relationship with Wei Jiapan. Looking at this posture, she doesn't want to go over today.

Wen Ru sighed, Wei Bingge was just an inconspicuous official in the Criminal Department, in the past, she came to find Wei Yangyang, and there was no one in Breeze Lane. But this change began on August 15, and since then, this Wei family Saburo has stopped thinking about living a quiet life. She had to get out of the car and tell the driver to drive farther away and come back to pick her up in the evening. Escorted by several maids, she struggled to squeeze through the crowd and walked to the gate of Guiyuan.

When the maid went to lock the door, the janitor saw that she was coming, and hurriedly welcomed her in. But the people waiting in line at the door were not satisfied, and they asked why she could enter and others couldn't? Wen Ru turned around and faced the crowd: "Miss Wei and I are close friends who have experienced life and death, do you think I can enter?" ”

After that, she didn't bother to pay attention to the people, turned around and walked into Guiyuan. This is the first time the two have met after Wei Yangyang was injured on the third day of March, and Wei Yangyang is very happy: "Wenru, I heard that you were sick a while ago, and now you are better?" Song Wenru nodded slightly: "It's already fine, but just after passing through the alley, I was almost squeezed again." Don't you see how many people are going to enter the Wei Mansion? I'm afraid that this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and half of the mansions have sent people to come with worship stickers today. ”

Wei Yangyang was a little strange: "What about the other half?" Wen Ru smiled: "The other half has already been here overnight on the night of August 15. Seeing that she was funny, Wei Yangyang giggled, and it took a long time to stop laughing: "I should have gone to the Song Mansion to visit you, but I will be restrained, and I am afraid that your condition will worsen after I go, so I dare not go." Song Wenru hurriedly shook his head: "How come, you will be the princess of Zhengyipin next year, who dares to say that you are not good?" ”

Speaking of the princess, Wei Yangyang knew that this was the other party's sadness: "Wenru, you are good at learning and character, but it's a pity, it's a pity this time," Song Wenru gently interrupted her: "It's okay, this is what I expected." Diplomatic relations between the two countries are the most important thing. Wei Yangyang still felt a little guilty in his heart: "I deliberately took out the bracelet to show you, aren't you very sad?" Are you crying when you go home? I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't tell you this, you like King Fengquan so much. ”

Song Wenru put away her smile and sat down with a sincere face: "I also want to thank you for telling me the truth, otherwise, I have to continue to deceive myself." Wei Yang hurriedly explained: "Wen Ru, don't be angry, I'm not trying to rob you of people, I really don't like King Fengquan." Song Wenru couldn't help laughing: "Of course I know, whoever you like or dislike is put on your face, can't I see that you like King Qinghe?" ”

Wei Yangyang was a little surprised, and touched his face: "So obvious? How can you tell? Song Wenru was used to her stupidity: "Of course, you don't know that the bracelet that King Fengquan gave you is a token of love, right?" ”

Seeing Wei Yangyang nodded, Wen Ru continued: "King Fengquan is wrong, he thinks he can see through everyone's hearts. He gives you a token, and you are sure to be moved, but you only think it is an ordinary gift. But he mistakenly thought that you didn't react to his overtures three times and twice, and wanted to refuse and welcome. How many people are thoughtful, he can guess correctly, but you are simple-minded, but he guessed wrong. ”

Wei Yangyang seemed to understand: "Then, he doesn't want to marry you, and he doesn't want to marry me, but he doesn't want to marry Jiao Qibeihai, right?" Thinking of Shen Minghuang facing a person he didn't like every day, but he could still pretend to be affectionate, Song Wenru sneered: "Princess Tyranny is a foreign race, so he naturally refuses." ”

Wei Yangyang pretended not to understand: "That's strange, your family background is so good, he doesn't want to marry, so who does he want to marry in his heart?" Song Wenru was already relieved in her heart, and only smiled faintly: "I already know who it is." Wei Yangyang was shocked, she was sure that she had never revealed Miss Zhang's affairs. She was not good at hiding her emotions, and she knew that Wen Rubing was smart, so she blurted out the words in her heart: "How do you know?" ”

Wen Ru heard something else from her words, so he stared into her eyes and asked, "You already knew it was Zhang Qiangrose, right?" Wei Yangyang was debunked by her on the spot, so she had to pick up the tea bowl to hide her embarrassment: "Hehe, it turns out that Miss Zhang's name is Rose?" Wenru, you are really clever. ”

Seeing Wei Yangyang praising himself like this, Wen Ru was also a little proud: "What is this, I know a lot about the Dayang Imperial Family." Not only do I know that King Fengquan wants to marry Zhang Qiangrose the most, but I also know that King Qinghe doesn't want to marry," Speaking of this, she immediately realized that she was too carried away, and quickly coughed twice to cover up the past, only hoping that Wei Yangyang didn't notice what she just said.

But Wei Yangyang immediately followed her words and asked, "Who does King Qinghe not want to marry?" Wen Ru knew that once this matter was said, it would affect the relationship between Shen Mingyuan and Wei Yangyang, how dare she continue to say, so she had to find a way to be confused: "Except for you, His Royal Highness King Qinghe naturally doesn't want to marry anyone." Although the other party is not as thoughtful as her, when it comes to emotional matters, they all want to figure it out, how can they be so easily deceived by her?

Wei Yangyang smiled at her with bad intentions: "Wenru, Yin Qingduo, Yin Yushi, I don't know if you recognize it?" Song Wenru didn't know why she mentioned this person, and she was a little confused: "I have heard the name of Yin Yushi, he is nicknamed "Yin Shiben", if anyone is caught by him, he will write a recital overnight to impeach the other party, and he can't wait to hand over ten copies a day. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were afraid of him, and I naturally heard of it. ”

Wei Yangyang laughed even more presumptuously: "This famous Yin Shiben once offended me and was trapped in the desert by me with a bunch of centipedes and scorpions. I deliberately put the food and drink on the periphery of the worm, but he didn't dare to run out of the circle, so I had to watch the water and the cakes, and starved for a day. Would you like to try it? ”

She has been bold since she was a child, and she has few things to be afraid of, except for the eagle raised by Wei Bingyue. But Song Wenru is a delicate champion daughter, let alone seeing, she has never even heard of this method of punishing people. Sure enough, as soon as Wei Yangyang's voice fell, Song Wenru was so frightened that she almost jumped from the stool to the table, for fear that the other party would really take out a few worms and put them in her clothes.

Wei Yangyang took a sip of tea and deliberately swept his gaze over Song Wenru: "Are you willing to say it now?" Song Wenru nodded again and again: "Kenkenken, she is Wang Qingmei, the daughter of Wang Cifu." I heard that last year, the queen mother intended to let Her Royal Highness marry Miss Wang, but Her Highness politely refused. She spoke quickly, and she could see that she was very frightened. Although she was a little flustered, she still pleaded for Miss Wang: "I have told the truth, but this matter has nothing to do with Miss Wang, you can't go to her to seek revenge." ”

Wei Yangyang patted the table lightly: "This is natural, I am not an unreasonable person." But then she asked, "Who is this Miss Wang?" I think I've heard the name, but I can't remember it. On the battlefield, she only needs to determine whether it is her own according to the clothing and weapons of the soldiers on both sides, and she does not need to know the faces of people. Therefore, although she is very good at reading maps and has first-class skills in recognizing the way, her skills in recognizing people are the last. Five years ago, Shen Minghuang had met her in Bibo City, but when she arrived in Gusu three years ago, she had no impression of this person.

Song Wenru reminded her: "When we celebrated Princess Mengjin's birthday last year, Miss Wang was also there, did you forget?" It was she who suggested that everyone play chess together. Hearing Wen Ru mention this, Wei Yangyang remembered a thing or two, she clasped her hands together, and began to recall the incident of entering the palace that day: "You say that, I have some impressions. I don't remember what Miss Wang looked like, but she shot arrows well. It's not as good as me, but it's pretty good compared to ordinary people. ”

Song Wenru deliberately pointed to himself: "Are you talking about "ordinary people" me?" Wei Yangyang was angry with her: "Oh, how could I talk about you." That Miss Wang has good archery skills and can compose poems, but she is both civil and military, why is His Royal Highness unwilling to marry her? Wang Qingmei's father, Wang Zhedi, was previously the secretary of the Ministry of War, and now he is the second assistant of the cabinet, if you talk about the family's power in the Ministry of War, it is obviously more advantageous than the Wei family.

Wen Ru was very helpless when she heard her ask: "You have to go to the Qinghe Palace, ask His Highness about this question, how can I know what he thinks?" But I guess it's because His Royal Highness met our Miss Wei in Haixi Mansion the year before last, and he couldn't pretend to be anyone else in his heart. So when the queen mentioned Miss Wang last year, he refused. ”

Every time she speaks, she feels comfortable, and Wei Yangyang is no exception. Hearing her say this, Wei Yangyang began to giggle again: "Wen Ru, you just said that you don't know what His Highness thinks in his heart, so how do you know that it is because of me that he rejected others?" ”

Song Wenru stood up, walked to the west wall, and stroked a sword that Wei Yang hung there. The sword was found by the other party in the antique shop, one male and one female. The male was hung in the study of the Qinghe Palace, and the female was hung in the guest hall by Wei Yangyang.

Wen Ru gently stroked the sword and sighed a lot: "I remember you said that you bought these two swords for ten yuan, and one is only five yuan." King Qinghe is the prince of Zhengyipin, and his food and clothing are second only to the emperor in this world. But he was willing to hang this meagre gift in his study, and he could see it every day. Do you know why? ”

Seeing that Wei Yangyang was still thinking about the answer, she continued: "The kite that King Qinghe gave you is actually worthless in the eyes of the nobles; And the bracelet given to you by the King of Fengquan is a treasure in the world. But why did you choose a kite instead of a string? ”

Wei Yangyang hurriedly pleaded: "Although my sword is cheap, it is really a peerless sword. And those kites, how can they be worthless? This is not available in the East Market or the West Market, no matter how much you bid, you can't buy it. In my opinion, my skeletal kite is worth more than that bracelet. Even if you take a yard, I won't change it! ”

Song Wenru was amused by her, and then said: "You have already said the answer yourself, if you like something, no matter how low its value is, you will still treat it as a treasure; But if you don't like something, let it be beautiful, you still don't like it. It's the same with people, don't say that the sword you gave was bought for five cents, even if it was picked up on the side of the road, King Qinghe would cherish it, and those kites were the same with you. No matter how good Miss Wang is, if she doesn't have a relationship with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness won't want to understand her merits, and she won't be her flower appreciator. But I think that one day, she will meet her own flower admirer. ”
