Fang Shi also said: "I have been detaining you all these days, and you don't blame your mother, you have the same temper as your father, if you don't lock you up, let you scold people who shouldn't be scolded outside, and spread it to the ears of the saints, for fear of causing trouble." Now that you have calmed down, your mother will remove all the guards around you today. ”

"Hmm." Mu Ru'an was not interested: "A-Niang came to find me, what else is the matter?" ”

Fang Shi paused for a second, "The Fifth Prince invited you and the Lord of Yongjia to go to the teahouse to taste tea, and the carriage that picked you up was already waiting at the door." ”

Mu Ru'an's face changed suddenly, "What is he looking for Ah Yao?" ”

"Maybe it's because the eldest princess is asking for grace for you, and the fifth prince should already know that she is helping you."

What a Wei Yuan, he saw that she would not leave Ah Yao alone to deal with him, and forced her to meet with him.

Mu Ruan scolded him thousands of times in his heart, got down from the kang, endured the fire and said: "Okay, drink tea and drink tea, but I won't take his carriage, I will take the painting boat at home." ”

Fang also knew in his heart that these days she could make her little daughter, who had always been noisy, suffocated, and that she was only half a year away from the marriage period, so she simply let her have enough fun, and when she married someone in the future, she might not be as comfortable as when she was a girl, and she could make her petty temperament.

"Mother, I'm going to make arrangements, the tide is rising recently, and there are some bumps in the boat, you don't know the nature of the water, don't stand on the bow of the boat and watch the excitement."

"Got it, thank you."

……

Before Mu Ruan left the house, he saw two rows of caravans passing by the house, the bell on the camel's neck ringing non-stop, and hundreds of people carrying boxes like a long dragon walking through the street.

She glanced at it.

Hong'er said: "Miss, the slave maid heard yesterday that this Yin family caravan bought more than a dozen boats to transport the goods purchased in Beijing to the south. ”

……

In the Muchun Pavilion, Su Yao and Wei Yuan sat opposite each other.

Although Wei Yuan and Wei Jingji are both the sons of saints, the two of them do not look alike, Wei Jingji is more like succession, and Wei Yuan is more like the lady with a weak temperament.

Wei Yuan sat in front of Su Yao's eyes, no more than before, Su Yao saw that he was very delicate, and even had a bit of androgynous beauty, but when he spoke or sat quietly, his eyelids always drooped halfway, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits.

Or because of this low-brow and obedient appearance, he is too unusual among the high-spirited princes and princes, so that people think that he is low-key and introverted.

"Don't blame me for offending, if it weren't for Ru'an's unwillingness to see me, I wouldn't have made this decision." He spoke in a voice that was neither loud nor small, undulating, straight like a line, "I knew that she was so resistant, and that the saint chose a wife for me that day, and I would not have asked the saint to give her a marriage, but the matter has come to this, and I have to do my best to compensate her." ”

Wei Yuan's tone was polite and respectful, without the slightest pretension, and it was not the beginning of Xingshi's questioning, if it was placed in normal times, Su Yuan would also comment on a humble gentleman, but with Mu Ru'an's words in front, she really couldn't have a good impression of him, and even wanted to choke people a little plainly.

"What His Highness said to me, let's keep it with Ruan." She put down the teacup, and the bottom of the cup touched the table lightly, but there was no small movement in this quiet private room.

Wei Yuan also seemed to sense her thoughts, and spoke softly.

"The county lord doesn't have to be angry, you are my imperial brother's righteous sister, and it is said that you are also half my sister. If I have any ill attitude towards Ru'an in the future, with the attitude of the imperial brother towards you, there is no need for you to seek justice in person, he will seek me first. ”

As he spoke, he smiled slightly, paused for a moment, and then changed his head: "I have never seen the imperial brother get angry, and the only few times he has been angry is because of you. Although Duke Duan is good, he is still slightly inferior to the imperial brother......"

Su Yao was really a little unhappy at this time, she stood up and walked towards the next seat, "Your Highness, you should worry more about your marriage." ”

Wei Yuan stopped her: "Brother Huang has treated me well since I was a child, but I just felt it, and if the county lord is unhappy, please forgive me." ”

Su Yao turned his head to look at him, and the shadow of the window blocked most of Wei Yuan's body, making it impossible to see the depth of his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince said with a smile, I'm not unhappy, I just saw an acquaintance and wanted to go and say hello." She looked downstairs, where two or three young girls were coming in together, all wearing jade around their waists and hairpins adorned with black hairpins.

Wei Yuan also looked at it, and his gaze stayed on the slightly taller girl in the middle for a moment, "The daughter of the grand man is also here, and today is lively." ”

Su Yao didn't say anything, and listened to Wei Yuan again: "Have you ever heard that the sage chose a wife for the imperial brother, but was politely rejected by the imperial brother. ”

"When?"

"Just half a month ago."

Su Yao was slightly stunned, she saw with her own eyes that Wei Jing had chosen someone, could it be that the portrait was not sent to the palace?

In this way, on that day, Wei Jingji ordered Liang Yuan to bump into her with portraits, and circled the portraits of several noble women, just to make her die.

After Wei Yuan replied, he saw that Su Yao was silent, hesitating and about to say something, but the curtain of the private room was lifted at this time.

"Ama!"

Su Yao's gaze crossed Wei Yuan and fell on the girl who was blowing the curtain, she was still dressed in red, but the color of her clothes was not as bright as before, it was quite a dull red, or because of this, Mu Ru'an's lips were pale and haggard that could not be concealed.

"You're here."

At the same time, Sheng Hua downstairs seemed to hear this movement and looked at Su Yao, who looked back as if he had a feeling after saying this, but saw that Sheng Hua seemed to not see her, withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and talked privately to the two girls beside him.

Su Miao was puzzled, but now she was flawless and distracted, she walked towards Mu Ru'an, "Why haven't you seen you for a few days and lost weight?" Have you eaten well? ”

Mu Ru'an nodded, and only then did she glance at Wei Yuan, "Ah Yao, this matter started because of me, you go first, I'll talk to him." ”

Wei Yuan smiled at her at the right time, but Mu Ruan ignored it directly.

Su Yao paused and held her wrist, "It's okay, I'll go downstairs first, Sister Sheng Hua is there, I'll come to look for you in a while, if there is anything, you can send Hong'er to tell me." ”

Mu Ru'an's eyes moved, "Okay." ”

After the two finished talking, after Su Yao left, Wei Yuan laughed: "You sisters are deep, but you don't have to treat me as a flood beast, I only want to meet you because I heard that you were grounded and worried in my heart." ”

Mu Ruan squinted his eyes and said, "Where did you hear that?" You sent someone to keep an eye on me? ”

Wei Yuandao: "It's just a guess, you have always liked to be lively, but there is no movement at all these days, except for the grounding, I can't think of any other possibilities, so I asked when Uncle Mu entered the palace, and I didn't embarrass Su Yao, you don't have to be nervous." ”

When a handsome man whispers to you to soothe you, it will give people the illusion that he cares about you, and if you add a prefix, he is your fiancé, but I am afraid that many young girls who are not deeply involved in the world will fall.

Mu Ruan was obviously not among them, she was not moved at all, and said coldly: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, how many times have you met me?" Put away this gesture that I think I know me well, my time is precious and I don't want to waste it on you. ”

Wei Yuan shook his head unexpectedly and said with a smile: "It seems that there is a long way to go to cultivate a relationship with his fiancée. ”

"Well, how about I divulge a message to you as a sign of sincerity?"

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Wei Yuan was slightly meaningful, and said: "You can remind Su Yao to marry the Duan family as soon as possible, this marriage did not fall on our heads, do you know?" ”

Mu Ruan was stunned for a second, and a chill slowly crept up her spine.

"The person the saint originally planned to marry was Su Yao."

Chapter 27

The pale golden skirt swept over the stairs, and stopped on the second floor of Muchun Pavilion, the little second who delivered the vegetables saw the pretty girl, and immediately asked earnestly: "The county lord is here to find Miss Shengjia?" ”

A while ago, the prince had a conflict with the sons of several high-ranking officials, although those people climbed back to the house during the curfew, but they also made people turn their backs, and the half-moon kung fu in Beijing is already well known, and the little guy in Muchun Pavilion was also ordered by the ear, remembering the appearance of the lord of Yongjia, and must not be offended.

Su Yao was accustomed to this, nodded, Xiao Er took her to a scattered seat, Sheng Hua and the two official ladies were talking and laughing, hearing Xiao Er's voice turned his head, when his eyes touched Su Yao, the smile in his eyes paused subtly.

If it was normal, Su Yao would go directly to say hello to everyone, but for some reason, she was a little hesitant today, because Sheng Hua seemed to be a little too cold.

Sheng Hua said a few words to his friends and walked towards Su Yao.

Su Yao stood at the door, saw her coming, curled her lips, and said, "Sister Shenghua, what a coincidence, you also came here for tea today?" ”

Sheng Hua smiled: "It's quite a coincidence." ”

After that, there was silence.

Su Yao pursed her lower lip and thought to herself, Sheng Hua seems to be different somewhat.

It was a very subtle difference, in the past, they would take the initiative to hold each other's hands, but now that the distance between the two was two feet, she didn't seem to have any intention of talking to her.

"Ama!" Mu Ru'an suddenly appeared, grabbed Su Yao's shoulders, and looked at the girl opposite, "Sister Shenghua is also here to drink tea?" ”

Sheng Hua snorted, and when he looked at Mu Ru'an, he seemed to have something to say, but in the end, he gave up and said concisely: "My friends and I came here to listen to the play. ”

"Then Ah Yao and I will not disturb your interest, but I have something to say to her, let us go first."

"Okay."

Su Yao couldn't help but be a little depressed, she thought that her marriage to Duan Rin, and Sheng Hua and Wei Jingji's marriage were the best choice and ending, and she and Wei Jingji and Sheng Hua could also become close relatives and friends.

But now the relationship between the two of them and her is running along the wrong path, which shows that the word fate cannot be forced.

Mu Ru'an took her to the dark, the tall pillars covered the figures of the two, and she told Su Yao everything that Wei Yuan had just told her.

Su Yao was shocked, "Why did the saint give me a marriage?" ”

Mu Ruan frowned, "I don't know the reason for this, but Wei Yuan's appearance doesn't look like he's joking, the sage originally planned to give you a marriage, but I heard that you and the Duan family seem to have a marriage, so they didn't make an order, if the time drags on, it's really hard to say whether the old matter will be brought up again." ”

Su Jiao pinched his index finger with his thumb, his expression was first stunned, and then he wondered: "Why does this Wei Yuan care so much about my marriage?" ”

Fang Cai He was in the private room, as if unintentionally mentioning Wei Jingji and Duan Rin, and after she left, he talked about these things with Ru An.

"He's sick."

Mu Ruan sneered.

Don't ask her what she means to marry her, what's the use of pretending to be affectionate and sincere now?

After a while, Mu Ruan asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Su Yao hesitated and said: "Wei Yuan, I always feel a little strange, I want to inquire about the situation in the palace first, to distinguish the true from the fake, if it is false, then there is no need to worry, if it is true, it is ......."

It seems that the marriage can only be decided first.

……

The days before Duan Jiaoguan's ceremony were a kind of torment for everyone.

While inviting friends to Duan's house to cheer up, Su Yao asked the eldest princess to send someone to the palace to inquire about the news.

Wei Yuan's words were not groundless, the sage did have the idea of giving her a marriage, and the eldest princess was also concealed because of her close relationship, if it weren't for Su Yao's entrustment to ask this time, I was afraid that it would not be clear when she was married.

For this reason, the eldest princess, who had not been angry for a long time, was rarely angry, and it was terrible to make it difficult but provoke the saint, and she thought of the stubble of marrying Su Yao, so she could only keep it in her heart first, and she didn't think about tea and dinner all day.

Mu Ru'an's profligate wreckage these days has become a gentleman from everyone's girlfriends.

Either she held a banquet in a major restaurant with great fanfare and invited a group of men to drink together, or she watched the dancing girls dance in the painting boat day and night, and the streamers flew along the way, but she did not go ashore.

The Duan family was afraid that Duan Jiao would lose his temper at the crown ceremony, so Duan Rin taught him some simple manners whenever he had time, and the whole family waited for him.

Wei Jingji was busy trying the case and storing evidence, the East Palace was like an impermeable iron bucket, not a single fly could fly in, and occasionally listened to Liang Yuan's movements in telling the county lord's mansion.

……

When the day came, Su Jiao got off the carriage at the door of Duan's house, and Jiang Lian was standing at the door at this time to give instructions to the porter, and when she saw her, she immediately stopped talking and greeted her with a smile.

"Ahma, I was about to send a carriage to invite you, but you came."

The house was noisy and shouting, there were many guests in the main hall before, chatting in groups, Duan Rin followed Duan Feng to meet the adults one by one, and there were richly dressed ladies on the left, wearing clothes and clothes, and the sound of warblers and swallows.
