"Don't stick your head out." Ruan shi put her hand on her daughter's forehead, pushed the little girl back with a little force, and closed the car curtain again to block the lively and bustling outside.
Xu Yunyao sat obediently snuggling up to her, but Brother Zhou, who was sitting on the other side of Ruan's family, was attracted by the hustle and bustle of the capital. His little butt kept moving around, and he couldn't sit still anymore.
"Mother, I want to ride a horse with Daddy," he said.
"This can't be done, just sit obediently like my sister, and you'll be home soon." Ruan shi rejected her son's request gently and resolutely.
Brother Zhou was a little disappointed, but he didn't cry in the end. He sighed like a little adult, and then asked strangely: "Mother, when did our family move to the capital?"
Ruan rubbed his head and said patiently, "When your grandfather was alive, our family was originally in the capital, but something happened and the capital was temporarily unavailable, so we moved to He'an House."
Brother Zhou asked again: "What happened and can't live?"
"At that time, there were always bad people who used their own power to come to our house to do damage. Your grandfather couldn't be bothered, so he had to choose to leave."
Brother Zhou gave an 'oh', and asked again, "Then have all those bad guys been driven away now?"
"Fucked away, His Majesty the Emperor brought someone to drive them all away."
"His Majesty the Emperor is amazing!" Brother Zhou exclaimed, his dark and bright eyes filled with admiration.
Ruan Shi smiled slightly and pinched his cheek lovingly.
Xu Yunyao blinked and listened to the conversation between the mother and son. Occasionally she raised her head to look at the gentle-looking Ruan Shi, and then looked at the innocent-looking Brother Zhou, her lips pursed, and her face twitched unconsciously. A shallow smile.
Mrs. Baozi's surname really matches her own temperament! Ruan, Ruan, a treacherous person like the old man, can marry such a lady, it is really a smoke from the ancestral grave.
She thought of Ruan's early death in her previous life, and she felt a little distressed in her heart. Suddenly, there is a sense of happiness, fortunate that I can replace the real Baoya and survive after her death, so that this soft-tempered woman will not experience the pain of losing her daughter, and finally die sadly.
About half an hour after the carriage drove into the city, it stopped, and then Tang Songnian's voice sounded outside: "Madam, it's here."
The curtain was lifted, Tang Songnian first stretched out his hand to help Ruan Shi down, and then hugged Xu Yunyao down. He was about to turn back and hug his son when Zhou Ge'er jumped out of the car with a 'boom', so frightened Ruan Shi and Wang Shi, who was first helped by his son to get off the carriage, turned pale in an instant.
The little guy felt that he was very powerful, he raised his eyebrows proudly at his sister, and then laughed with his arms crossed, just as he was about to say a few words to prop up the scene, he was slapped on his butt, and daddy's ear also sounded. Rebuking voice: "You bastard, jumping down from such a height, don't you want these legs?"
He was beaten for showing off to his sister, Zhou Geer wrinkled his nose depressedly, and listened to the training honestly, not daring to say anything.
Xu Junyao looked up at the lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate, each with the word "Tang" written on it. On the horizontal plaque directly above the gate are two vigorous and powerful characters - Tang House.
This mansion, where the ministers of the court and the middle ministers came and went from time to time, became her 'home' in this life. This is really unexpected.
Suddenly, her body flew into the air, and Tang Songnian picked her up. She put her hand on Tang Songnian's neck and was carried into the house by him.
The old servant in the house who had already received the news came out to greet him. At first glance, he saw that the third son from many years ago had grown into a Yingwei man who looked like his father, but was better than his father. Tears filled his cloudy eyes.
"Third Young Master, the old servant finally hoped you back!" The old servant trembled and stepped forward to salute, Tang Songnian hurriedly put his daughter down, stepped forward to support him, "Fu Boqie, don't be too polite, relax. Years are unbearable."
Xu Junyao ignored the pair of master and servant who had reunited after a long absence, and looked around curiously. After seeing the rockery, she turned out Li's family and a few children. The oldest walking beside Li's family was Tang Bainian. With Li's eldest son Xing Ge'er, the girl next to Li's doll is naturally Tang Junyu, the daughter of the big house.
Tang Songnian saw that only the female family members and children of the big room came to greet him, but he couldn't see Tang Bainian's shadow, and frowned in displeasure.
As a son of man, he didn't even care about his first-mother who came from afar... He shook his head secretly, and he didn't want to pursue this anymore.
Mrs. Wang was also a little disappointed, but soon recovered. She smiled and received the courtesy of Mrs. Li and the children in the big room, and gave them a few words lovingly.
Brother Xing ignored her, but glared fiercely at Xu Yunyao, who was pulling her mother's skirt, and held a grudge against this little cousin who had beaten him with a dead snake.
"What are you doing at my house?" he said rather unhappily.
"What is your home, this is my home too!" Zhou Ge'er retorted unconvinced.
"We're here first!" Brother Xing took a step forward and glared at him.
"Shameless, is it yours if you came early?" Brother Zhou made a shy face and laughed.
"You hate it!" Brother Xing was annoyed and stretched out his hand to push him.
"Brother Xing, stop, don't bully the fourth brother!" Li Shi was taken aback by him, for fear that he really pushed Brother Zhou, he hurriedly pulled him and blamed him.
Brother Xing snorted bitterly at Brother Zhou, and turned his face away reluctantly.
Brother Zhou proudly made a face at him, but was pinched by Ruan: "Don't quarrel with big brother, and don't be naughty!"
The little guy's arrogance went out all of a sudden, and he pouted his lips before he uttered "Oh".
"What should you do when you meet your brothers and sisters?" Nguyen asked again.
Brother Zhou was a little unhappy, his little mouth pouted even higher, and finally he called out reluctantly: "eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister, second sister."
Brother Xing ignored him, Brother Yao quickly glanced at Xu Yunyao, shrank his neck and whispered, "Fourth brother."
Then he called Xu Yunyao like a gnat: "Third sister."
"No prospects!" Seeing that his younger brother was so unsatisfactory, Brother Xing scolded and glared at Xu Yunyao again.
Xu Yunyao naturally sensed his hostility and snorted at him without caring.
The stinky boy who doesn't know how to live or die, don't mess with Ben Gong in the future when you know what you are looking for, or else you will suffer!
On the contrary, Brother Yao kept shrinking his body, wishing to hide himself in the corner, lest he would teach that fierce and terrifying ghost girl to see it.
Xu Yunyao only glanced at Brother Yao before landing on Tang Yunyu and another older girl beside her.
But with just a casual glance, Brother Yao was so frightened that he almost ran away, making Brother Xing less able to see him.
No prospect, what is there to be afraid of for a little girl
Xu Yunyao ignored the brothers in the big room and continued to look at the little girl beside Tang Yunyu.
The little girl's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Tang Yunyu's, she was a little taller, but slightly thinner than Tang Yunyu, and her manner was a little timid. After a little thought, she knew that this little girl must be the eldest daughter of the concubine of the big house, that is, Tang Junrou, the eldest sister in her life.
Tang Bainian is not like Tang Zhangnian and Tang Songnian, who has only one wife, Yuan Pei, but he has two concubines. One of them is Concubine Ying Niang, who was originally a maid by Li's side, and Concubine He, who was given to him by someone else. his servant.
And Tang Junrou was born by Concubine Ying, and she was the only concubine among so many children in the Tang Mansion.
Tang Junyu glared at this cousin with a face of jealousy, especially when she saw that what she was wearing and what she was wearing looked better than her own, her jealousy couldn't be concealed even more.
Seeing Tang Yunrou timidly smiled at Xu Yunyao to show her friendliness, she immediately pushed her unhappily. Tang Yunrou was pushed to the ground without her noticing. He got up silently with his head down.
The adults who were talking didn't notice this scene, and Xu Yunyao didn't want to get involved in the big room.
It's just a scumbag. In the last life, I relied on the power of my uncle to marry a high-ranking family. In this life, this palace will see what good opportunities you will have!
As long as she doesn't come to provoke her, Xu Yunyao will naturally not deal with her, but she doesn't bother to perform any sisterhood drama with her.
And since he lost all face in He'an Mansion last year, Tang Bainian couldn't stay in He'an Mansion any longer, thinking that there are more opportunities in the capital, and his family also has a house and a little property in the capital, so he might as well just move. Beijing, see if you can find a good future.
I don't know if it was his luck or what. He had been working hard in the capital for more than a year, but it really made him find a way to manage the business of two of the Tang Mansion's shops in the capital.
It's a pity that he was only thinking about becoming an official, and he still tried every means to become an official in the camp, but so far it has not been settled. It has taught him to become more anxious, and he always chases after those official sons and brothers, hoping that the other party will have more opportunities to help him. Own.
When he came back drunk at night, Mrs. Li couldn't help complaining when he saw him like this, and said that the third brother might have a better future when he returned to Beijing to report his work. It should be done to him and that Wang's face.
After hearing this, Tang Bainian scolded her for being a "women's opinion", and after hiccups, he said with a big tongue: "He Tang Songnian has no good future. Impeaching favoritism is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is impossible for him to protect himself, so how can he be reasonable!"
Li Shi was stunned: "Where did you hear this?"
It was a pity that Tang Bainian had already fallen asleep and had not heard her question.
Li pushed his arm and asked reluctantly, "What about you, why don't you say it clearly before going to bed? Where did you hear those words, can they be accurate?"
All that answered her was the man's snoring.
She stared at the man on the bed angrily, and finally took off her shoes and socks for him and waited for him to change.
—
However, he said that the first thing Tang Songnian did after returning to Beijing was not to submit a debriefing document to the Ministry of Personnel, but to go to see Ji Yuan with his wife and children.
Xu Yunyao felt a little excited when she heard that she was going to meet the future Zhongshuling, the Prime Minister Ji Yuan.
She was not excited because she could see the prime minister all over the world, but because of Ji Yuan's nephew's daughter Liang Yuyan.
This Liang Yuyan is not someone else, but the future Princess Yu and Queen Liang.
In her last life, Empress Liang and Concubine Hu Li failed to compete for favor. She was unwilling to allow Concubine Hu Li to gain the upper hand. She personally took Xu Yunyao, who was 'recuperating' outside the palace, back to the palace, and planned to join forces with her to deal with Concubine Hu Li in order to regain the favor.
And all of this was also under Xu Yunyao's calculation. She returned to the palace in a glorious way, and joined Queen Liang to deal with Concubine Hu Li, which made Concubine Hu Li fall out of favor in the Holy Front. After that, she became an invisible person in the harem. Yunyao became the concubine Shu who was in charge of all affairs in the harem. She went to the cold palace to see her old friend, but found that the once beautiful Concubine Hu Li had long since turned into a white-haired old woman, and she no longer had half of her former style.
I just don't know if Liang Yuyan is in Jifu at this time? But it should be there, right? In her last life, she relied on the relationship between Zhongshu Ling Ji Yuan and married into the East Palace, and was honored as the Crown Princess and Empress of the Dynasty.
she mused.
For Tang Songnian, Ji Yuan gave him the kindness of knowing and meeting, and Ji Yuan arranged for him to enter the officialdom. Therefore, I have great admiration for this master Ji who is also a teacher and a friend.
And because Ji Yuan was wronged and sentenced to exile earlier, although he knew that the other party was safe, Tang Songnian still remembered it in his heart. When he brought his wife and children, he also asked them to meet the elders by the way, but he had no other intentions.
After the death of the former abolished prince, Emperor Jianzhang handed over all the political affairs to the new prince, and Ji Yuan was the new prince's confidant.
The servants of Ji Mansion knew early in the morning that an old friend of their master was visiting, so naturally they would not block Tang Songnian's family from the door, but respectfully led them in.
Xu Junyao was surprised to see that Tang Songnian was actually going to take the three women and children to see Ji Yuan, obviously because the younger generation was going to see the elders.
Tang Songnian was her nemesis in the last life, and she naturally knew that his official fortune was prosperous, and Ji Yuan's help in it was not small.
Ji Yuan has been with Emperor Taizong since his early days. He has advised and worked hard for Emperor Taizong for many years. He is the most trusted courtier by Emperor Taizong. high weight.
After his death, Emperor Taizong wept while touching the coffin, only to know that there is no Ji Ping in the world.
The old man, Tang Songnian, was supported by Ji Yuan as his successor. In fact, Tang Songnian did not disappoint him.
At this moment, Xu Yunyao looked at the elegant and gentle middle-aged man above with some curiosity, and listened to Tang Songnian: "This is the dog Huaizhou, who just turned six years old not long ago; this is the little girl Yunyao, who is only three years old this year. ."
"He's a neat kid, have you ever studied? What books will you study?" Ji Yuan asked Brother Zhou with a smile and asked lovingly.
Brother Zhou was not afraid of life, and answered them one by one, which made Ji Yuan nod more and more.
"Reading is hard work, as long as you don't get tired, you need to be diligent and practical, then you can achieve something." Finally, he encouraged the little guy a few words, and then invited Xu Yunyao.
Xu Yunyao walked up to him generously, blinking his eyes to meet the sight of the prime minister who was famous in history.
Ji Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at her with narrowed eyes. For a moment, he chuckled and said, "Song Nian, your little daughter is really not easy!"
At least, the courage is big enough.
Mrs. Ji on the side also had a bit of love on her face.
Although her husband looked gentle, he was actually not easy to get close to. These children in the house, no matter their age, would not dare to say much when they came to him.
But the little brother and sister in front of him, the elder brother is not afraid of being bold, and the younger sister is not so much, which is really surprising.
She looked at the pink and jade-like little girl and liked it more, patted Ruan's hand, and said with a smile, "You brought up their brothers and sisters very well."
Ruan Shi was frightened: "I dare not bear what Madam said."
Ji Yuan still had something to tell Tang Songnian, so Mrs. Ji took Ruan's mother and son to her courtyard to talk.
It was rare for Brother Zhou to consciously and lovingly hold his sister's hand and step behind his mother. The more she saw Mrs. Ji's continuous praise, her eyes were filled with love for this little brother and sister.
Ruan Shi, who knew the temperament of the brothers and sisters well, was a little guilty. She was afraid that if Zhou Ge'er couldn't hold on for a while, he would get rid of his sister's hand and call 'I don't play with stupid Baoya', and her daughter would not show weakness. I also don't like to play with greedy cats'.
Then the two stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and neither agreed with the other, and finally hummed at each other and ran away.
Thinking of such a scene, and hearing Madam Ji's praises for the friendly little brother and sister, Ruan's heart became more and more empty.
Ji Yuan and his wife had a son in the early years, but unfortunately died in the war. Since then, Mrs. Ji has not been pregnant again, and Ji Yuan has not been too demanding on the son. Now, he often brings his favorite nephew and nephew to the mansion, adding a little child's laughter to this grand mansion.
Xu Yunyao recognized Liang Yuyan among the children who surrounded Mrs. Ji at a glance.
Although the little girl is still young, her facial features have gradually taken on the appearance of Empress Liang in the future. Xu Yunyao's past life with her was not short, and she knew her well.
At this moment, little girl Liang also discovered her, and then sensitively aware of her aunt's undisguised love for this strange little girl, her heart was suddenly filled with a sense of crisis.
Although she is only six years old, her mother, Mrs. Liang, has been telling her face to face, asking her to please her aunt and uncle, and make her aunt and uncle like her, so that she will not be bullied and have a better life in the future.
She has always done well, she is well-behaved and sensible, and is deeply loved by Mrs. Ji.
Xu Yunyao also discovered her defense against herself, and was puzzled for a while.
Ben Gong didn't do anything, what was she guarding against
But she soon discovered that as long as Mrs. Ji talked to her, little girl Liang's face would tighten and her hands would be clenched unconsciously, and she understood after thinking about it.
This is because he is afraid that he will take away her aunt's favor!
Also, Liang Yuyan is not the kind of idiot Tang Junyu is full of emotions and anger, she can let Emperor Taizong choose her as his daughter-in-law from so many famous daughters, which is enough to prove that she is not stupid, even quite outstanding.
Later, if Zhao Yuanyou hadn't become less interested in her, and instead favored Concubine Hu Li, Concubine Hu Li had both means and arrogance. In the end, he will be calculated to completely lose his Sacred Heart.
Of course, Xu Yunyao admitted that little girl Liang's fate in her last life had her calculated elements. After all, her love was even greater than the former Concubine Hu Li, and Liang Yuyan had already felt a deep crisis, so she would naturally pass on the defense and resentment towards Concubine Hu Li to her.
And she is not that wait-and-see, whether it is for self-protection or the desire and pursuit of power, it is destined that she will never give in half a step.
But at this moment...
She yawned a little and buried her head in her mother's soft embrace.
This palace already has Mrs. Baozi, who cares about your aunt!
Seeing this, Little Miss Liang tilted her head and thought for a while, then the hostility subsided, and she sat obediently beside Mrs. Ji.
"Ma'am, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here with the three young His Royal Highnesses, the master asks you to pick it up quickly!" A maid hurriedly came in and said.
Xu Junyao was shocked and suddenly looked up from Ruan's arms.
The three little princes? Could it be that her future emperor and husband are also inside
Thinking of this possibility, her eyes gleamed even more.
—
The crown prince brought his three direct sons to meet their future teacher Ji. First, he expressed his respect for Ji Yuan to the world, and secondly, it also reflected the court's respect for teachers and Taoism.
After all, even the prince has to be respectful and courteous to his husband, and the subjects will naturally follow.
