Chapter 16 Marriage Proposal
The style of the day was not only gentle, but even the drizzle of the night was gentle.
Yun Zhou was dressed in black and wore a hat, the sword in his hand glowed with cold light on the black moonlit night, and there were corpses all over his feet.
"The prince, the people, are all dead. Yunzhou knelt on the ground, his posture respectful and modest.
The person sitting in front of Yunzhou is called Yaosu, the seventh son of the emperor of the dynasty, wearing a dark red brocade robe, fair skin, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, but there is a bit of a fox appearance, if this appearance is born in a woman, I don't think there is anything, at most it is a little charming, but it grows on a man's face, not only charming, but also loses the masculinity of a man, if he changes into women's clothes and sits there, if someone says that he is a woman, no one will feel inappropriate.
"Yunzhou, you did a good job, what reward do you want today? Yaosu seems to be satisfied.
Yun Zhou hung his head, swallowed and foamed a little nervously: "Lord, Yun Zhou wants to marry Wan Jiaxiaoyou." ”
At that time, Yunzhou was handsome and strong in martial arts, and the prince treated him very seriously, as long as Yunzhou wanted to marry, most ordinary people would be willing to marry their daughters to him, including the merchant Wanjia.
Yao Su sat on the chair, propped his head and looked at Yun Zhou, his fingers kept rubbing the jade wrench on his thumb, and he made a very disdainful "oh" sound in his throat.
"Then marry. Yao Su said lightly, "Choose a good day and an auspicious day to propose." ”
Yunzhou was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.
After Yunzhou retreated, Yao Su glanced at the guards standing beside him: "Merchant Wanjia, I heard that business is doing well, go and see if there is a problem with Wanjia's account books, it is the same Buzhuang, how can he be unique." ”
Yun Zhou naturally couldn't hear these words, he happily ran to the back door of Wanjia and put up a flag, if Xiao You saw it, he would naturally come out.
But in a moment, he heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, and it was Shinoyu who opened the door.
Yunzhou's emotions were all written on the connection, and Xiaoyou naturally noticed it, and he was happy in his heart.
The two came to a peach forest, and the peach blossoms were just pink flowers and bones before they bloomed: "Xiaoyou, the prince promised me to let me choose a good day to propose." ”
Xiao You pursed his lips, but couldn't hide his smile: "Then I'm here to congratulate Yun Gongzi." ”
After returning that night, Shinoyu plans to ask the old man at home to calculate the auspiciousness of that day.
As a result, she just arrived at home, but it was very strange, at this time on weekdays, the house was busy with dinner, why was it so calm today.
She walked outside the hall, only to see her father kneeling on the ground, in front of him sat a man, wearing a dark red brocade robe, and his gestures revealed superiority and contempt, his father has always been very majestic to Xiaoyou, when has he seen him kneel in front of others so tremblingly, look at the back seems to be dozens of years old all of a sudden.
Xiao You wanted to look again, but was dragged over by a woman: "Xiao You, come here, don't go there, it's the Qing King sitting there." ”
"Mother, King Qing, isn't it the prince who Yunzhou followed?" Xiao asked puzzled.
The woman hurriedly booed: "Don't talk about this, let alone mention it to Yunzhou boy." ”
"Why?"
"Listen to my mother, good, go back and rest early, you just need to remember that you have never seen King Qing today. The woman took her back to her room and closed the door," Shinoyu remembered. ”
Xiao was puzzled, but he still responded.
Wanjia's house was unusually quiet tonight, and the lights at the gate that had been on all night were extinguished early.
Xiaoyou has been looking forward to the auspicious day coming soon, but if something happened at home, she was very flustered, as if there was a thread hanging overhanging, very unsteady, for fear that the thread hanging from the heart would be broken, and she would no longer be able to beat.
But fortunately, after that day, Wanjia as always, there seems to be no problem, Xiaoyou's heart is a lot more comfortable, but a few days later, Xiaoyou heard that someone outside came to propose, Xiaoyou was overjoyed, and ran out to take a look, but it was not Yunzhou.
Xiao You's parents introduced with a smile on their faces: "Xiao You, this is the eldest son of the Zhang family. ”
Xiaoyou frowned, but still saluted politely, and then left under the pretext of being unwell.
Yunzhou prepared a lot of dowry gifts, and when he was about to propose marriage, Yaosu sent someone to find him to carry out the mission, and the first few auspicious days were delayed.
But Yunzhou thought, it doesn't matter, there will be a next time.
When Yunzhou went to carry out the mission, the eldest son of the Zhang family often came to Wanjia, saying that the parents of the Wanjia family agreed to propose, so let the two of them contact the relationship first, Xiaoyou was naturally unwilling, but he couldn't bear his mother's persuasion, and went out with the eldest son Zhang.
The father of this eldest son of the Zhang family is an official, it stands to reason that it is a good combination of officials and businessmen, and this eldest prince is not bad, and he is talkative and humorous, Xiao You looked at Zhang Dagongzi and felt that he was very good, if he met Yun Zhou before, he might really like this kind of person, but unfortunately he came too late, Xiao You has Yun Zhou in his heart, and there will be no other people.
Xiaoyou wanted to explain to Zhang Gongzi that she actually already had a sweetheart, but whenever she wanted to speak, the maid who followed her seemed to be aware of it, and immediately interrupted her words, like a roundworm in her stomach, Xiaoyou was a little unhappy, she looked at the maid who followed her and blamed her a little: "Mother just told you to follow me like this?"
The servant girl lowered her head and did not make a sound, thinking that her mother had also explained this.
Wan Jia knows the existence of Yun Zhou, and also knows Yun Zhou's thoughts, but Xiao You is a boudoir woman after all, and it is not good to get too close to a man before she is married, so Wan Jia often nagged not to let Xiao You and Yun Zhou get too close, although Yun Zhou is the king of Qing behind him, no matter how favored he is, he is also an errand boy, and if he marries Xiao You, he will suffer if he is not even.
That evening, Zhang Gongzi sent Xiaoyou home, and the two waved goodbye, although Xiaoyou didn't want to marry him, but he didn't want to show too much, and the basic politeness was still there.
After Zhang Gongzi left, Xiaoyou turned around and happened to see Yunzhou standing next to him.
Looking at each other, with a lot of emotions for a while, Xiao You knew that he was not sorry for Yunzhou, but thinking of what had happened in the past few days, it was inevitable that he would feel a little weak.
She mustered up the courage to approach Yunzhou, but saw him silently take a step back.
"Miss, go in. The maid couldn't help Xiaoyou to make the next move, so she dragged Xiaoyou back into the house.
For two days, Yunzhou didn't come, Xiaoyou sat in the room and looked out the window, the peach blossoms bloomed, although it was not the most beautiful time, but it was also full of peach.
It still has to be explained.
Shinoyu thought.
Yunzhou is a little dull, good wine, even in the palace, there is always the smell of alcohol on his body, although it does not affect the work, but the smell is not very comfortable.
Yao Su saw that Yunzhou had been dull for the past few days, so he found some dancing girls to come over and watch the play in the courtyard, and Yunzhou sat aside.
"This is the best dancing girl in the music and dance workshop, does Yunzhou like it?" asked Yao Su, his tone the same as usual.
"Lord Lao remembers, Yunzhou doesn't have this thought. ”
"Why did the girl you like change her mind?" said the prince, his eyes looked at the dancing girl, and he seemed to be very engaged in watching the dance.
Yun Zhou looked at Yao Su in some surprise, and then retracted his gaze and said, "It's just a little misunderstanding, it'll be fine in a few days." ”
Yao Su just smiled.
After a long time, he spoke: "A man must always marry a wife, and if this world becomes even if he is not married, as long as the two of them are willing to each other, they can become a family, whether they are men or women, then it would be even better." ”
"Lord Wang?" Yun Zhou was puzzled, why Yao Su suddenly said this.
"The emperor's family, there must be a woman to have children, if you can marry a like-minded person, it is simply an eye-opener, most of the people who marry are what they need rather than what they like. Yao Su looked at Yun Zhou, "Sometimes I really envy people like you, there is no identity constraint, as long as you like it, the two families can get married if they want." ”
Yaosu has a princess, who was arranged by his mother, married in for almost three years, Yaosu has never touched her once, outside the palace, the two are always in love, but in the palace they often don't even speak, everyone in the palace knows that the prince does not love the princess.
Even if some bad-minded maidservants spread rumors that the princess has a male favorite, Yao Su is unmoved, even if the princess really has someone she likes and brings it into the mansion, as long as she is not bumped into by Yao Su herself, he will probably turn a blind eye.
Yunzhou lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yao Su tilted his head and looked at Yun Zhou with his face: "Yun Zhou, this king likes you very much, if you can always follow this king, it will be a rare happy thing in life." ”
Usually, Yao Su said this to him, Yun Zhou was naturally happy in his heart, but today, when he heard this, he was inexplicably a little flustered in his heart, Yun Zhou raised his head and looked at Yao Su, his eyes have been looking at himself, Yun Zhou avoided his gaze a little unnaturally and said: "As long as the prince does not drive Yun Zhou away, Yun Zhou will always serve the prince." ”
Yao Su smiled after hearing this and stopped talking.
After that day, as Yunzhou was walking down the street, a child tugged at the corner of his coat and handed him a letter.
After Yun Zhou opened the letter, he immediately turned around and left.
He came to the corner of a teahouse and saw Shinoyu.
Unlike in the past, the clothes that Shinoyu wore were very rough, as if she was deliberately wearing them.
Yun Zhou hesitated a little after seeing her, he couldn't forget that Xiao You said goodbye to other men with a smile, that kind of scene, that kind of mood, it was really difficult to calm down.
"Yunzhou. Shinoyu waved his hand.
Yun Zhou walked towards her.
After Xiaoyou saw him sit down, he immediately said: "Yunzhou, don't you want to propose, come and propose, otherwise I will be married to someone else by my father." ”
After Yunzhou returned from the teahouse, he prepared the dowry overnight.
Early in the morning of the second day, he came to the door of Wanjia with the dowry.
Xiaoyou sat in the backyard, and after listening to the maidservant report from outside, he hurriedly ran out.
"We have already married the Zhang family, this woman can't serve the second husband. "The old man of the Wan family is quite polite, and the refusal is also tactful.
But Yunzhou is stubborn, if he wants to propose marriage today, he must mention success, no matter what Wan Jia says, he just won't leave.
Xiaoyou wanted to go out, but was dragged by his mother: "What kind of system." Mother yelled.
But when the Zhang family came that day, she went out, and no one stopped her.
Xiaoyou said with some grievances: "Mother, it's not fair, it's not fair, why can't I see him." ”
From morning to afternoon, Yunzhou sat in Wanjia for most of the day.
The news of Yunzhou's visit to Wanjia to propose marriage was like ink dripping into clear water, and it spread in an instant.
The streets and alleys are talking, and this matter has naturally reached the ears of the Zhang family, the Zhang family is a face-loving master, how can someone else propose a kiss to the daughter's family, if it is robbed by someone, how can the Zhang family have face.
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and the Zhang family came to Wanjia with a group of people and surrounded Wanjiatuan.
