The Golden Bough and the Dog vs 22
Tang Xian is very fond of her.
The princess can only rely on blood to do it, and when your brother succeeds in usurping the throne, you can become a princess if you can be promoted or not. On the contrary, if he can't succeed, you won't be able to become a princess no matter how old you are.
Tang Xian originally thought that there was only one ill-intentioned person in this family, but she didn't expect her young sister to be so wild.
After hesitating again and again, she decided to remind Yun Yuan: "Your brother lied to you, girls can't take the imperial examination." β
Unexpectedly, Yun Yuan said firmly: "Yes, my brother said that he can." β
Tang Xian: ...... It also makes sense, when your brother really usurped the throne and became the emperor, can it be a matter of his words.
Tang Xian was sad in her heart, looking at Yun Yuan, who was working hard to practice calligraphy, she couldn't understand: "The emperor is not something that everyone can do, you have to deal with the major affairs of the world and shoulder heavy responsibilities, why does your brother have to be the emperor?" β
"My brother is going to be the emperor." Yun Yuan couldn't tell the reason, and only repeated this sentence, "He wants to do it." β
Tang Xian's sorrow could only be swallowed in her stomach.
After a few more days, she finally knew what Yun was thinking.
A post was sent to the door, and it was said that the old friend of Mrs. Baili heard that Yun Yuan had come to Beijing, and invited her to play.
"It's all women, so I won't follow." Yun Zhu took the invitation of the gold leaf cardboard, and said meaningfully, "Zhuang Shiyi, Yun Yuan is young, you are a cousin, you must take good care of her." β
Tang Xian weighed in her heart whether this was a trap for him to test himself, and did not answer for a while.
Yun stopped laughing: "Or are you afraid of life and don't want to go with you?" β
Tang Xian dared to say, but as soon as she nodded, Yun stopped and said that since this is the case, she will never go out in the future.
Therefore, this rare opportunity to escape from Yun Zhu's eyelids, Tang Xian has to go no matter what.
As for whether this is a ploy to stop the clouds, and whether there is a chance to leave, we have to wait until we get to the future.
Chapter 20: Change
It wasn't until the day before the appointment that Tang Xian was sluggishly worried about another matter. Yun Yuan is going to see the old friend of the old lady Baili, and I don't know if this old lady recognizes herself.
When she went out to a banquet with Mrs. Tang before, there were too many people surrounding them, Tang Xian could not recognize each other, but the other party must recognize her.
After a night, on the second day, the new clothes made by the embroidery girl overnight were delivered, but Tang Xian was still wearing simple old clothes and no jewelry.
Inevitably, the other party recognized her, the simpler she dressed up, the better, and it was best for everyone to forget her early like Master Bai.
Seeing this, Zhuang Lian was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and ran to find Yun Zhu to complain: "The clothes and jewelry were all prepared according to her requirements, and they were sent, but she refused to use them, isn't this a waste of effort?" β
"That's your niece, you discipline yourself." It is enough to send the apology, as for whether Tang Xian uses it or not, the cloud stops and doesn't care.
Zhuang Lian regretted it, he knew that today, when these two needles mocked Mai Mangdi, he should have hid aside and watched the excitement.
After muttering in his heart for a while, Zhuang Lian put away his little emotions and asked, "Do you really want to give her a chance to leave?" When the young lady found out, she would be very sad. β
"The later you know, the more it hurts."
He said to Yun Yuan that Tang Xian's mind was not pure, and she didn't believe it, so let her see it with her own eyes.
In fact, this old man is indeed an old friend of Mrs. Baili, but it was not she who posted to invite her, but Yun Zhu took the initiative to let Yun Yuan come to visit.
When Yun Yuan left the southwest, the old lady Baili instructed her to let her meet her old friends on her behalf, and Yun Zhu remembered it.
He just used this opportunity to let Yun Yuan see clearly that Tang Xian had ulterior motives for being good to her.
Zhuang Lian resigned himself to sending people out, but when he turned around, he was stopped again.
"She's deliberately dressed modestly?"
Zhuang Lian complained: "Isn't it? The money is all spent, and if you don't like it, you have to use it......"
Yun stopped ignoring his nagging, the corners of his mouth curved, and said, "I'm afraid she doesn't dare to pretend." β
It seems that she has a lot of old acquaintances in the capital.
The scene of Tang Xian's meeting with Bai Taishi was vivid, Yun Zhu's thoughts turned, and the guards came: "Go and check where there is a gathering of noble ladies today." β
"What does Childe want to do?"
Yun Zhu happily: "It's rare to go out, I'll give her a little surprise." β
.
When Zhuang Lian left from Lanqinzhai, he was so angry that Tang Xian was so angry that there was smoke on his head, and when he came back, he looked at Tang Xian, who was dressed up wholeheartedly, and his anger turned into pity.
Poor girl, she doesn't know what awaits her on the way back.
After the makeup was ready, Tang Xian accompanied Yun Yuan to board the car, accompanied by two maids, and Zhuang Lian followed with the guards.
Tang Xian and Yun Yuan inquired about the origin of this old lady Wang, and Yun Yuan entered Beijing for the first time, except that the other party was her grandmother's friend, and the rest did not know.
couldn't get more news, Tang Xian could only lift the curtain and look out of the car window.
After she escapes from Yun Zhu, Yun Zhu will definitely search for her all over the city, she is not familiar with the current capital, and she has to watch more and remember more.
Yun Yuan didn't know that she was planning to escape, and she also opened the small window and stared at the bustle on the street.
The carriage swayed through three main streets, through seven or eight more lanes, and made numerous turns, until it came to a stop at the mouth of a narrow alley.
Zhuang Lian personally knocked on the door, bowed to the middle-aged woman who appeared, and handed over the prayer post.
After a short time, a silver-haired, short old woman staggered out of the hall, and was about to salute when she saw Yun Yuan, but was quickly stopped by Zhuang Lian's eyes.
"Today is only about personal feelings, and there is no need to be polite. And the old man and my old lady are close friends, and the young lady is young and can't stand it. β
The old man remembered his friend many years ago, and said a few tears with a few tears, trembling and inviting someone into the hall.
Tang Xian thought that the old friends of the old lady Baili would be a powerful lady, but she didn't expect it to be a poor old man, so she was not so nervous, so she followed as a maid and didn't say a word.
After sitting down, the old man squinted his eyes and tried to see the clouds clearly, and said with a smile: "It's Huiqin's daughter, right?" It's been so long that I can't even remember what Huiqin looks like. β
Yun Yuan walked up to her and said, "Because I don't look like my mother." β
"That's pretty too, I've never seen such a handsome little girl." The old man pinched her arm and sighed, "It's also strong, it's good." Better than my grandson, frail and sickly, he went to ...... a few years old."
The middle-aged woman brought refreshments, called out to her mother, and interrupted her in time.
The old man realized that something was wrong and asked about something else: "Is your grandmother still healthy?" β
"Jianlang, I could still ride a horse in the first two years, but my teeth are not good, and I can't eat sugar and ice cheese."
The old man immediately heard, "Do you like to eat both?" β
Yun Yuan smiled and nodded.
The more the old man looked at her, the more he liked it, and regretted that there was no ice at this time, so he could only let his daughter go to buy candy and come back, and took Yun Yuan's hand and said: "In the past, the Baili family suffered, and your grandmother and Huiqin were left, and Huiqin's face was still injured, so I was worried, worried about her marriage, and worried about what my old sister would do in the future." As a result, your grandmother is the most blessed, and she has such a clever little girl! β
"When your father and mother got married, your grandmother didn't agree, because I was afraid that life would be difficult in the future...... You see, no one can say for sure what the future will be, can it? β
The old man talked a lot, babbled a few words, and asked, "Are your three brothers and sisters the three?" Are the two brothers okay? β
Yun Yu said: "Big brother loves to bully people, it's not good." The second brother is good, but the second brother is too stupid, I don't like to play with him. β
"This, this ......" The old man knew the identity of Yun Yuan and the two brothers in her mouth, and when she heard her say such disrespectful words, she didn't know how to answer.
Turning his head to look at Zhuang Lian, Zhuang Lian smiled and nodded, as if agreeing.
When the old man saw this, he relaxed and laughed, "In the early years, I corresponded with your grandmother, and I often heard her mention your eldest brother, saying that he learns everything quickly, and he can do a lot of things. I think I should be a handsome son, how can I bully you a girl? He'll tease you. β
"He just bullied, snatched my kitten, didn't play with me, and scared me yesterday to send me home......"
This pair of old talkers, Zhuang Lian had nothing to do, went to the courtyard with Tang Xian, and also talked about the old lady.
The old man used to be a daughter of the Hou Mansion, and his family was in the middle of the road, and now he is left with a widowed daughter.
"Speaking of which, among the old friends of my old lady, only the Qin family is still in a high position, but it's a pity that the juniors cheated and played tricks, and they were sent down half a month ago."
Tang Xian asked: "Your son-in-law is powerful and powerful, why don't you help?" β
Zhuang Lian asked rhetorically: "Why do you want to help?" β
Tang Xian didn't answer, but only looked at Yun Yuan who was talking to the old man in the hall from the window.
All kinds of signs show that Yun Zhu is cautious, but in filial piety and benevolence, he is impeccable.
Tang Xian thought that Yun Zhu had abused lynching, and he would not care about using power for personal gain.
It turns out that she underestimated others.
From this, she remembered Cen Wangxian and Yanxia, and for the first time faced the contradiction between Yanxia and Yunxia with a correct attitude, "What did Yanxia steal from your son-in-law?" β
"The girl doesn't know?"
Tang Xian shook her head.
"That's what she's deliberately hiding from the girl." Zhuang Lian said, "Without Gongzi's orders, I don't dare to answer." The girl wants to know, but she can ask my son-in-law herself. β
Tang Xian was silent, and after a while, she looked up at Zhuang Lian, dragged out her voice, and shouted softly: "Uncleβtell me, uncleβ"
Zhuang Lian looked at her like a ghost, hurriedly took two steps back, shook off the goosebumps on his sleeves and returned to the hall.
At this moment, Yun Yuan, Zhuang Lian and the old man were chatting in the hall, the guards and others were all at the mouth of the alley, and Tang Xian was the only one left in the courtyard at a glance.
Tang Xian stood under the apricot tree in the courtyard, hesitating to step towards the backyard.
When the old man called her daughter out to buy candy, she noticed that the woman had gone out from the backyard, that is, the yard had a back door.
Yun stopped waiting for her to escape, Zhuang Lian must have arranged a guard at the back door.
Tang Xian firmly believed that Zhuang Lian would not forget this carelessly, and couldn't help but wonder what if he really made a mistake?
It's a rare opportunity......
Tang Xian avoided the window of the hall and took a step into the backyard.
Then he froze, stood still for a short time, and retreated to his original place.
At the moment when she decided to go to the back door to give it a try, her heart was more afraid than her expectation of freedom, because she remembered Cen Wangxian again.
She has an empty appearance, no money, and no place to stay, and after leaving, she not only has to avoid tracking, but also beware of persecution by gangsters. If you meet someone like Cen Wangxian again, or something worse than him, how can you save yourself?
As soon as she stepped into the capital, she fell into the hands of Yunzhu, she did lose her freedom, which can be judged from another angle, isn't it a good thing?
At least she didn't suffer any violence or injury, she had a reasonable guess about Mrs. Meng, and she was given the opportunity to go out.
As long as you can hide your identity, it is okay to continue to stay and figure it out.
