Just after dawn, the crisp sound of birdsong echoed in the courtyard, and a new day began again.
The eldest princess of Yuncheng had just finished dressing when she heard the voice of the little girl from outside the house: "Second Master, please wait here a while, and I will let the slaves report to His Royal Highness the eldest princess."
"Why bother, it's the same if I go in by myself."
Followed by the young man's careless voice, Princess Yuncheng couldn't help but smile, and said to Xing Yu, the maid beside her, "Go and invite the second master to come in."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Not long after Xing Yu stepped back, she saw a young man in brocade clothes with a pair of dimples walking in from the outside.
"Mother," the young man in brocade clothes, the second son of Princess Yuncheng, Yuan Lingbai put his arms on her shoulder affectionately, and said flatteringly, "Mother is getting more and more beautiful!"
Princess Yuncheng squinted at her second son from the Linghua mirror, and said angrily: "Your mouth is so sweet, tell me, what do you want to do?" There was no annoyance in her expression, and there was even a hint of pampering.
Yuan Lingbai smiled and shouted: "Mother, am I that kind of person? What I said is not sincere!"
Princess Yuncheng smiled helplessly, and said again: "Okay, don't I know you yet? If you don't tell me, I will go to the palace."
Yuan Lingbai smiled awkwardly, pressed his shoulders for Princess Yuncheng, and said: "Mother, actually I just want to invite a few friends to the horse farm in the mansion."
"That's all?" Princess Yuncheng raised her eyebrows slightly, with a half-smile. If that's the case, Yuan Lingbai can make the decision himself, so why bother to come to her
"Hehe, I just wondered if my sister is in a bad mood recently? Why don't I just call my sister and I've prepared a gift for her." Yuan Lingbai said mysteriously, which made Princess Yuncheng even more excited. Puzzled.
"Brother Bai, you should say everything at once." Princess Yuncheng rubbed the center of her brows, "I have been tormented by you until I have a headache!"
"Okay, okay," Yuan Lingbai said in a hurry, fearing that Princess Yuncheng would be angry, "Not long ago, Tian Lianhe from the Zhenbei General's Mansion bragged to me that he gave his sister a horse, and it was from Beidi all the way. It was brought here. I’m afraid there is no brother like him in the entire capital! Mother, tell me, isn’t that an insult to me? Who doesn’t know that I am good to sister Yi! This time I specially prepared a Japanese horse from the Japanese country, which is most suitable for a little girl like Sister Yi, and I insist on showing Tian Lianhe who is the best brother in the capital!"
Princess Yuncheng couldn't help laughing when she heard that, this group of children fought crickets the day before yesterday and orioles yesterday, but who is a good brother today...
"You!" Princess Yuncheng couldn't help but nodded her second son's forehead.
Others said that she was a slutty dandy this time, but Princess Yuncheng never took it seriously. Her brother Bai was born with everything, and didn't need to inherit the family business. What's the matter with living a freer life? He both Not to rob people's daughters by force, not to bully people, to be filial to parents, to respect older brothers, to love younger sisters, nothing could be better!
Although Princess Yuncheng wants to agree to the second son, she still has some scruples in her heart: "But your sister..."
"Mother, if you are worried that your sister will feel uncomfortable alone, why don't you ask her to invite some close friends from her boudoir to come with her?" Yuan Lingbai quickly interrupted Princess Yuncheng, "I heard that my sister is not with you. Miss Jiang of Engong State Mansion, and Lord Yaoguang County, are they on good terms? Invite them to come and let them see that their younger sister has such a good second brother like me, and I promise they will be envious of them in the future!" He deliberately used She said it in a childish tone, and Princess Yuncheng couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Okay." Princess Yuncheng finally agreed, "It's good to let your sister go for a walk."
"Mother, remember to post the post quickly." Yuan Lingbai hurriedly urged, "The date... should be three days later."
Princess Yuncheng said helplessly: "Okay. I'll send someone to send a post right away. It's finally over."
"Mom, you really are the best!"
He talked sweetly to Princess Yuncheng again, coaxing Princess Yuncheng into a smile, and then left Ronghuaju.
As soon as he left the hospital, Yuan Lingbai yawned lazily, and thought: Finally, I can deal with my eldest brother, and it is not in vain for him to get up so early.
The eldest brother of Yuan Lingbai is naturally not his elder brother Yuan Lingsong, but the elder brother of their dude circle in the royal capital - Xiao Yi, the son of Prince Zhennan.
I don't know if I have been particularly unlucky recently. First, I was forced to take out five thousand taels and insisted on doing business with Xiao Yi.
Well, just give it, he will take it as money to eliminate disasters.
But recently Xiao Yi seems to be eyeing him!
A month ago, Xiao Yifei said that his strength value was too low, and he lost face as a big brother, so he beat himself several times in the name of practicing martial arts... Although he did improve his martial arts because of this, even Tian Lianhe I was beaten to the ground once by myself, but after thinking about it, I still feel that something is wrong... Is it possible that I offended that big brother and didn't know it
Well, he originally said that Ling Bai has always had a lot of adults, anyway, his martial arts have really improved, so it's Xiao Yi who wants to train himself out of good intentions.
Unexpectedly, brother Xiao started playing new tricks yesterday!
Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Yi came to the princess mansion to look for him on purpose, and gave him an account book, saying that his money had tripled when the convoy to Changdi came back.
This day's great news almost knocked Yuan Lingbai unconscious, but soon Xiao Yi said that the bonus cannot be divided now, and money must be used to make money, but he sees that Yuan Lingbai has always followed his lead. , so I specially distributed one thousand taels to him first.
Yuan Lingbai felt that he had fallen from the sky back to the world, so he could only comfort himself by saying that at least he came back with a thousand taels. If other money is wasted, it will be wasted.
In the end, Yuan Lingbai didn't see the shadow of the one thousand taels at all. Where did the one thousand taels go? Isn't it just that damned wombat!
That's right, what Yuan Lingbai said to Princess Yuncheng just now was all made up by that big brother Xiao! And Yuan Lingbai just succumbed to the fist of a certain big devil!
"Hey--" Yuan Lingbai sighed, feeling that it was really bad luck for eight lifetimes to recognize Brother Xiao Yizuo. But thinking about the situation at that time, if he didn't recognize it, he would probably be stripped naked and hung on the city wall, so it's better to recognize it...
However, according to the matter in front of him, he used his clever head to think about it all night, and he finally came to a conclusion——
Either Xiao Yi fell in love with Jiang Yixi or Nangong Yue!
Thinking of this, Yuan Lingbai couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled wickedly. With his eyesight, he will definitely be able to find the real sweetheart of his elder brother!
When the post from Princess Yuncheng's Mansion was sent to Nangong Mansion, it was the time when the morning and evening were fixed, so the post was sent directly to Rong'an Hall.
The post was sent by Nanny Chen who was next to Princess Yuncheng herself. Because Princess Yuncheng was still waiting for a reply, Nanny Chen also went to Rong'an Hall and delivered the post to Nangong Yue.
All the wives and juniors in Rong'an Hall were there, and they were a little surprised to see that it was the post that Princess Yuncheng personally sent to Nangong Yue, but envy followed.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Nangong Yue took the post with the seal of Princess Yuncheng, and because she heard that Madam Chen said that Princess Yuncheng invited her to the racecourse in the house, Nangong Yue couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.
I didn't expect Xiao Yi to do it! I don't know how he did it, but he was able to get Princess Yuncheng to post a post for her in person.
After Nangong Yue opened the post, she glanced at it but couldn't help being slightly startled. In the post, Princess Yuncheng not only invited her alone, but also her elder brother Nangong Xin.
Princess Yuncheng knows that she has a brother, Nangong Yue is not surprised, what is strange to her is that Princess Yuncheng posted a post to invite her elder brother in order to give her face. For the elder brother who has been nesting in the mansion, this is such an honor, I am afraid that even the grandmother Su will not object.
Mother Chen asked respectfully: "Master Yaoguang, what do you think?"
"Mother, please wait a moment." Nangong Yue smiled slightly, and told Su, "Grandmother, His Royal Highness Princess Yuncheng invites her granddaughter and second elder brother to visit the mansion in three days."
Nangong Xin
The Su family was very happy because Nangong Yue got the post from Princess Yuncheng, but when she heard that Nangong Xin was also invited, she couldn't help but froze. This mentally deficient grandson has always been a thorn in Su's heart, just hiding in the mansion and seeing it from time to time makes her very unhappy, let alone taking it outside the mansion to embarrass her. So much so that it has been almost two years since they returned to the king, and Nangong Xin has never taken half a step in Nangong Mansion. But... Princess Yuncheng wants to invite him to the house
It wasn't just Su's surprise, there was even an uproar in Rong'an Hall, with envy, surprise, joy, and naturally, jealousy. Especially Mrs. Huang, she was so angry that her teeth itch, thinking: This Princess Yuncheng is really capricious, her sister Lin didn't invite her, but she chose to invite a fool, it's simply inexplicable!
"Mrs. Chen." Su Shi only hated making her family ugly, but she had to say, "This grandson of mine has a weak mind, and I'm afraid I'll be rude to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess..."
Nanny Chen said unhurriedly: "Madam Su, don't be annoyed. Her Royal Highness also knows that your grandson has a pure temperament, so she also wants to meet her last time. I wonder if it will be convenient."
Having said that, can it be inconvenient? Su Shi could only helplessly say to Nangong Yue: "Sister Yue, since Her Royal Highness Princess Yuncheng has invited you, you and Brother Xin can go."
"Yes. Grandmother." Nangong Yue blessed her body, then looked at Nanny Chen and said, "Then I am bothered to report to His Royal Highness Princess Yuncheng, Yue'er and brother will be there in three days."
"Master Yaoguang, you're being polite." Mother Chen received the reply, and bowed respectfully, "The old servant will leave first."
Mrs. Su hurriedly ordered Dong'er to deliver a purse, and asked Madam Chen to be sent out.
"Sister Yue, you are really loved by Princess Yuncheng now." Mrs. Zhao said pointedly, "It's just Brother Xin...how can you propose Brother Xin in front of Princess Yuncheng."
Is she saying that Princess Yuncheng would invite her brother because of her deliberate request? Don't say that this is not her intention, even if it is her intention, so what? But he is also pure in mind, he is the eldest son of Erfang, why can't he appear in front of people openly?!
Nangong Yue said with a half-smile: "Auntie, it's not just the princess of Yuncheng, even the emperor and queen know that Yue'er has a brother named Nangong Xin, maybe one day, the emperor and the queen want to see her brother on a whim. Well. No matter what, this is always the glory of our Nangong Mansion, grandma, what do you think?"
Nangong Yue's attitude of not evading at all surprised everyone in Rong'an Hall. Seeing that she threw the question to Mrs. Su, they couldn't help but look at Mrs. Su, and even Mrs. Zhao and the others secretly hoped that Mrs. Su could teach her a lesson This ignorant Nangong Yue!
Lin moved and was about to stand up, but Nangong Yue patted the back of her hand. She knew her daughter was very assertive, so she held back.
Su Shi looked at this granddaughter who did not avoid her gaze, and thought: Forget it! Forget it! This granddaughter has long been out of his control. Moreover, what she said was right, they were all descendants of the Nangong family, whoever could get the nobleman's high regard would benefit from the Nangong family. I just hope that brother Xin won't lose face to the Nangong family this time.
Su Shi said helplessly: "You can take Brother Xin with you that day, just remember to keep an eye on him..."
Nangong Yue replied, "Yes, grandma."
"Sister." Nangong Xin opened his eyes wide. He didn't quite understand the dispute in front of him. He just understood a sentence, so he asked innocently, "Can I go horse racing with you?"
Nangong Yue said with crooked eyebrows, "Yes, brother."
"Great!" Nangong Xin said happily, "I still want to take Xiao Hei with me, my sister can take Xiao Bai!"
Mrs. Su stroked her forehead with some headaches, and was about to wave her hand to disperse the crowd, when she saw the servant girl suddenly open the curtain and enter the room, and said: "Old Furen, Lu Shizi and Miss Su Biao are here! They have already arrived at the second gate! "
Su Shi was a little surprised by the servant's report, but this visitor was a visitor, and Su Qingping was her niece, of course Su Shi would not turn them away, so he nodded and said: "Dong'er, go Welcome the son and the cousin girl to come in."
The other people in the mansion also looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that this couple was too presumptuous to break into other people's mansion so early in the morning without sending greetings in advance. But the other party is still a serious relative in the mansion...
After Lu Heng got off the carriage at the second gate, without waiting for Su Qingping, he couldn't wait to walk towards Rong'an Hall. Su Qingping didn't want to lose face in front of the servants of Nangong Mansion, so she could only follow behind in a hurry, looking quite embarrassed.
"Lu Shizi, Cousin!" Dong'er, who was guarding the gate of Rong'an Hall, hurriedly greeted the two guests.
"Free gift!"
Lu Heng said casually, and at the same time tidied up his clothes. At this time, Su Qingping also followed, and the two of them followed Dong'er into the main hall to greet Su Shi.
Leaving aside Lu Heng's temperament, his appearance is undoubtedly tall and handsome, which can be regarded as golden and jade. As for Su Qingping, who had a delicate and beautiful appearance, her cheeks were flushed because of her hasty walk just now, she looked shy and timid. The two stood together, among other things, they were really a pair of lovers.
Nangong Yue looked at the pair of "bi people", and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: Why did these two people come to the door suddenly? Could it be that they have something to ask for
"I've seen my aunt!" Lu Heng and Su Qingping saluted Su Shi together.
"Get up! They're all good boys!" Not only Nangong Yue, Su Shi also wondered why Lu Heng and Su Qingping came to visit suddenly, but they still got up with a loving face.
Su Qingping quickly presented the gift she had prepared, a string of rosewood beads.
"You child, it's fine if you come here. What gifts do you bring?" Su said with a smile. She is not rare for this string of rosewood beads, but she just likes others to take her preferences into consideration.
"As long as my aunt likes it." Su Qingping had a just right smile on her face.
Zhao interjected from the side: "Mother, this is also Cousin Ping's love for you, and it is not in vain that you have always treated her like your own daughter."
For a moment, the scene was harmonious and happy, as if they had forgotten the slightest unhappiness just now.
"I haven't seen my aunt for a while. I wonder if my aunt is in good health recently?" Su Qingping asked with concern.
"Okay, okay, everything is fine." Su smiled and looked at Su Qingping lovingly, "Where is Miss Ping, can you live comfortably in the Hou Mansion?"
Comfortable! How can she live comfortably! She was almost tortured to death and vomited blood, but thinking that Lu Heng was still here, she couldn't even complain, so she had to say against her will: "Auntie, Pinger is fine, please rest assured, Auntie. "
Su Shi looked at Su Qingping, her jade cheeks were flushed, and she looked good. She was wearing a pink brocade dress and a scarlet gauze. On the light and soft fabric, the pattern of pomegranate is faintly dotted with silver thread, making it even more beautiful. Su couldn't help but secretly nodded, thinking that seeing Sister Ping's complexion and her attire, she should live a good life in the Hou Mansion.
Under what circumstances did Su Qingping marry, the Su family couldn't be more clear. It is not easy to live a good life under such circumstances. It seems that her niece is quite capable. Win over Xuanping Hou Shizi.
If Su Qingping knew what Su Shi was thinking, she would definitely vomit blood. But even if Su Qingping knew about this misunderstanding, she would still let Su's misunderstanding continue like this. She has lived in Nangong Mansion for more than a year, and she already knows this aunt's nature very well. Only when she is of value can her aunt take herself seriously, so that Nangong Mansion can become her backer... She was in Xuanping Life will be easier for the Hou Mansion.
After meeting with Zhao Shi, Lin Shi and others, Su Qingping gave gifts to every girl in Nangong Mansion, each with a pair of pearl flowers.
And the gifts of the young masters of Nangong Mansion were handed over to them by Lu Heng himself, Nangong Sheng got a copybook from a famous artist, Nangong Xin and Nangong Hao each got a pair of exquisite small slingshots.
Lu Heng's eyes flickered a few times, and suddenly he suggested with a smile: "Brother Xin, brother Hao, why don't uncle teach you how to play this slingshot?"
Nangong Xin didn't reply yet, but Nangong Hao couldn't wait to yell: "Uncle Biao, teach me, teach me first!"
Lu Heng nodded kindly: "Okay, Uncle Biao will teach you..." As he spoke, he really patiently taught Nangong Hao how to play with a slingshot so that he could shoot farther.
It has to be said that Xuan Ping Hou Shizi, who is ignorant and inexperienced, is still very good at having fun, coaxing this little boy Nangong Hao into a daze, and admiring Lu Heng endlessly.
Lu Heng coaxed Nangong Hao well, and then warned earnestly: "Brother Hao, you must be careful when playing with the slingshot, and don't shoot anyone else, otherwise, Uncle Cousin will take this slingshot back."
Nangong Hao was afraid that Lu Heng would take back the slingshot, so he naturally nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Everyone was amazed by this scene.
Nangong Cheng almost doubted whether this person was that Lu Heng. On the day of welcoming the bride, Lu Heng's ignorance and willful behavior opened his eyes. Be patient, it seems that human nature is really complicated
Even Nangong Yue was puzzled, what the hell is this Lu Heng doing
Only Mrs. Su watched from the side and nodded secretly, thinking: Although this Xuanping Hou Shizi looks out of tune, he is strict in educating children. When he and Sister Ping have their own children in the future, they should accept it. Heart, grow up.
"Aunt," Lu Heng said to Su with a smile on his face, "Why don't you let me take Brother Xin and Brother Hao to the garden for a walk?"
Seeing that he was so friendly and enthusiastic towards Nangong Xin and Nangong Hao, Su Shi was naturally happy in her heart, and became more and more sure that her guess was correct, that Su Qingping had indeed win over Lu Heng.
"Okay!" Su Shi laughed repeatedly, "Brother Cheng, Brother Xin, Brother Hao, you can accompany your cousin around." Naturally, the Su family couldn't let Brother Xin and Brother Hao add to Lu Heng's life. Troublesome, Nangong Sheng was added to accompany him.
"Yes, grandma." Nangong Cheng replied respectfully.
Lu Heng's face froze for a moment, but he smiled again immediately. They were about to go to the garden when a little servant girl came to report in a hurry: "Old Madam, Eunuch Liu from the palace has come and said that His Majesty has a decree for the third girl. !"
This time the decree came without warning, everyone in the mansion couldn't help but look at each other, but no one dared to neglect, hurriedly got up and went to receive the decree, leaving only Lu Heng and Su Qingping to stay in the main hall of Rong'an Hall for the time being.
Along the way, Lin asked Nangong Yue in a low voice: "Sister Yue, do you know what His Majesty is doing?"
Nangong Yue shook her head innocently. This time, she really didn't know anything.
Huang Shi and Nan Gonglin behind were listening with pricked ears, but they didn't expect to get such an answer.
Over the past year, Nangong Mansion has received several imperial decrees, and everyone is already very proficient, setting up incense tables, kneeling, listening to the decree, receiving the decree, and then sending off Eunuch Liu and his party... About a quarter of an hour later, everyone returned Gathered in the main hall of Rong'an Hall.
But this time, it was no longer Mrs. Su who sat on the main seat, but a mahogany plaque, supported by two women, one left and one right.
Hui quality orchid heart.
These four big characters are mentioned in golden lacquer on the plaque, and the emperor's jade seal is printed below it, which means that these four characters are mentioned by the current emperor himself.
In addition to this plaque, the emperor also rewarded twelve loads of things, such as cloth, jewelry, tea, spices... Everyone was dazzled by the sight, and Su Qingping was so jealous that her eyes turned red. Looking at Nangong Yue, and then looking at Lin's for a while, she thought viciously in her heart: You can be happy for a while! Soon, when the poison takes hold, you will know what it means to cry without tears, and it hurts so much!
"Sister Yue, could it be because of Princess Yuncheng..." Nangong Cheng speculated. After thinking and thinking, Nangong Yue should be the only one who healed Liushuang County Lord's facial injury recently, and His Majesty will suddenly give him a heavy reward.
Nangong Yue nodded: "It should be." She never expected that Princess Yuncheng would ask for such a reward for herself.
Huizhi Lanxin! Nangong Yue silently recited these four words in her heart and smiled meaningfully. This is so useful for her!
Confucius said: "Zhilan was born in a deep valley, and it is not unsatisfactory because there are no people; a gentleman cultivates morality and morality, and does not betray poverty." Hui Zhilan's heart can be said to be one of the highest rewards for women. With these four words, even if she occasionally acts out of line in the future, who would dare to accuse her!
This is not only her honor, but also the honor of the entire Nangong family!
Mrs. Su couldn't restrain the smile at the corner of her mouth, she really wished to keep this plaque in her Rong'an Hall forever, so that when wives from other mansions came, they would be able to see this plaque, to see who would dare to neglect them in the future Nangong Mansion!
It's a pity that Ren Su's sent countless glances to Nangong Yue, but Nangong Yue pretended not to see it.
Everyone gathered around the plaque to look and discuss, so that Lu Heng couldn't bring up the matter of going to the garden again. After lunch in Nangong Mansion, Lu Heng and Su Qingping returned to Xuanpinghou Mansion.
Afterwards, everyone also resigned with Mrs. Su, Nangong Yue and Nangong Xin left Rong'an Hall together, and Mrs. Lin was called away by the nurse in charge of Qianyun Courtyard half an hour ago.
The two brothers and sisters were strolling in the veranda, Nangong Xin suddenly whispered: "Sister, do you like cousin uncle?"
Nangong Yue froze for a moment, looked at Nangong Xin, shook her head vigorously, and lowered her voice: "Brother, what about you?"
Nangong Xin's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had found a bosom friend, he nodded repeatedly and said: "I don't like it either!" As he spoke, his face wrinkled into a ball, "I don't like my cousin, and I don't like my cousin, they all laughed so hard It's so fake, it's like... like wearing a mask... "
Nangong Yue admired her brother's intuition in her heart, and whispered to him: "Brother, it's okay, if they come in the future, we'll just avoid them!"
"En!" Nangong Xin replied heavily, the gloom between her brows and eyes finally dissipated, and she smiled and talked about various interesting things with Nangong Yue...
At the same time, after leaving Rong'an Hall, Liu Qingqing, accompanied by her maid Ziying, went to Zhaoying Pavilion where Liu Qingyun temporarily lived.
"Miss Qing!"
Upon receiving the servant's report, Liu Qingyun immediately went out to greet her with a smile, took her sister into the study and sat down to talk.
"Brother, here are some clothes, shoes, socks and snacks I made for you." Liu Qingqing took a bundle and a food box from the maid Ziying, and handed them to Liu Qingyun. The baggage contained all the clothes, shoes and socks that she specially made for her brother in the past month.
"Thank you sister." Liu Qingyun looked at Liu Qingqing with pity and said, "Sister, don't do needlework for too long in the future, so as not to burn your eyes. I have enough clothes to wear, so I don't need to prepare so much."
Liu Qingqing smiled lightly, but did not agree directly: "Don't worry, brother, I know it well."
Liu Qingyun also knew that her younger sister was always very assertive, so she didn't say anything more, but asked her some recent situation implicitly: "Sister, how are you living in Nangong Mansion recently?"
"Brother, don't worry!" Liu Qingqing smiled softly, "After all, Nangong Mansion is a century-old family, so why would you embarrass me, a little girl?"
Liu Qingyun looked at Liu Qingqing deeply, not sure if he believed it, after a long time, he said slowly: "That's good."
Liu Qingqing said again: "Brother, don't worry, let alone others, Uncle Nangong is a man who is upright and keeps his promise. With him around, we don't need to worry about other things." And Nangong Sheng... is also a gentleman!
Liu Qingqing lowered her eyelashes slightly, thinking of what Nangong Sheng said to her back then, of course it was not easy to tell her brother these words.
It's just that Nangong Sheng's words really made her drop a huge stone in her heart.
Liu Qingyun didn't know these things, he just remembered Nangong Qin's care and care for him, and the conversation between the two of them that day, so he couldn't help nodding: "That's right." He added with admiration, "Sister, I have talked with brother Cheng a few times, he has a good character, unlike his mother."
In this Nangong mansion, the only ones who dislike the Liu brothers and sisters are actually the Su family and the Zhao family. The reason is that the Liu family's family background has fallen, but they have a marriage contract with Nangong Cheng.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyun's eyes flashed a gleam of perseverance and determination, and said solemnly to Liu Qingqing: "Sister, don't worry, brother will definitely be named on the gold list! Don't let others look down on you!"
Liu Qingqing was moved in his heart, and a blur of watery light appeared in front of his eyes, and he whispered: "Brother, don't put too much pressure on yourself because of my affairs, just do your best." Liu Qingqing knows his brother's talent best, just I was afraid that my brother would fall into a demon because of himself.
"Don't worry, sister, I will take care of myself." Liu Qingyun swore. Regardless of whether his sister will marry into Nangong's family in the future, he is his sister's support, and he must not fall down easily, leaving his sister alone.
"Brother said so, so I'm relieved." Liu Qingqing stood up with a smile, and said goodbye to her elder brother, "Brother, this is the front yard after all, I don't want to stay long, so I'll leave first. If there is something wrong with my brother, just ask someone to let me know." .”
Liu Qingyun stood up and saw her off: "I'll see off my sister."
The two brothers and sisters broke up after reaching the second gate, Liu Qingyun stayed in the distance to watch his sister leave...
After bidding farewell to her elder brother, Liu Qingqing took her maid Ziying and walked towards Hefengyuan. After passing through a courtyard, she saw a man in a sky-blue robe approaching from a distance.
Looking at the figure, it looks like Zhao Ziang, Zhao's distant nephew.
He turned out to be alone! Liu Qingqing frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong. After all, this Zhao Ziang is also considered a foreigner, walking around in the inner house without a maid from the Nangong Mansion by his side, this is really...
Liu Qingqing wanted to avoid it, but she didn't expect Zhao Ziang to walk towards her with a clear goal, walked straight to her, and politely said: "Miss Liu, Xiaosheng is very polite."
"Young Master Zhao, you don't need to be too polite." Liu Qingqing was slightly blessed, "If there is nothing wrong, my daughter will leave first." After saying that, she took Ziying away in a hurry, feeling like a light on her back.
Zhao Ziang stared at Liu Qingqing's back in a hurry, and touched his chin with interest.
When he was in his hometown before, he received a letter from Zhao's distant aunt, saying that he wanted to betroth a daughter of a down-and-out family to him. Originally, he was not very happy, he firmly believed that with his talent, it would be no problem to be named on the gold list, and by then, what kind of wife would not be able to marry
But the old mother in the family coveted the help of the family and the Nangong family, and persecuted him to the death, so Zhao Ziang could only half-pull and go to the capital first, and he should prepare for the exam here early.
When he hadn't met Liu Qingqing, he didn't care about this marriage, but he didn't know that he was wrong until he saw Liu Qingqing in Rong'an Hall that day.
Liu Qingqing has a beautiful appearance and jade-like skin. Even in front of Nangong Cheng, who is quite outstanding in Nangong Mansion, she does not look inferior; moreover, she has an excellent temperament, gentle and virtuous, but she is also proud. When dealing with others, he is still generous and has a certain amount of advance and retreat. He is really the best candidate for the main room in the family.
At that time, Zhao Zi'ang was really interested in proposing this marriage.
It's a pity that Nangong Mansion's gates are strictly controlled, and he can't walk around the inner courtyard at will. Today, a maid who led him the way was called away temporarily, so he came out of the inner courtyard alone.
And Liu Qingqing's repulsive reaction just now not only didn't make Zhao Ziang unhappy, but made him even more satisfied with Liu Qingqing!
When marrying a wife, he should marry a virtuous one. He will never want a frivolous woman to be his wife.
It seems that the only way to get close to Liu Qingqing is her elder brother Liu Qingyun!
After thinking about it, Zhao Ziang strode out of the second gate and went to the Zhaoying Pavilion.
"Brother Zhao!" Liu Qingyun, who got the news, naturally went out to greet Zhao Ziang, and bowed to Zhao Ziang, but he was wondering why Zhao Ziang came to visit suddenly. Because of Zhao's relationship, Liu Qingyun didn't even have a good impression of Zhao Ziang.
"Brother Liu!" Zhao Ziang also returned the gift.
The two sat down casually at the stone table in the courtyard and started chatting.
"Brother Liu, please don't be offended by my rash visit today!" Zhao Zi'ang bowed again, "I remember my aunt once said that Brother Liu would also come to the capital to participate in next year's spring festival, right?" The aunt he was talking about was naturally Zhao Shi.
"Brother Zhao is too polite, I'm too late to welcome you." Liu Qingyun nodded, "The lady is right, I'm indeed here to participate in next year's Spring Festival."
"That would be great!" Zhao Zi'ang said with a smile and clapped his hands, "I'm really afraid that I will work behind closed doors. If I don't advance, I will retreat. With Brother Liu here, I can discuss with Brother Liu and learn from each other. It's really a pleasure!"
"After that, I will ask brother Zhao to give me more advice." Liu Qingyun couldn't help but also laughed, feeling that what Zhao Ziang said was indeed reasonable. After I came to the capital, except for my uncle Nangong Qin who taught me my homework, I spent the rest of the time studying hard by myself. If I can discuss it with my peers, it should be very beneficial to me.
"I don't dare to teach you." Zhao Ziang said politely, "I don't know Brother Liu, but I know that three days later, in the Lanyu Tower in the west of the city, some scholars gathered in the capital will hold a poetry meeting. I don't know if Brother Liu is interested in going there together. ?” He thought in his heart that as long as he showed his talent to beat the crowd, he would be able to leave a good image in front of Liu Qingyun, his future wife and uncle.
When Liu Qingyun heard this, he also became interested. If you can make friends with Juzi from the north and south of the river, you will benefit a lot. He nodded and said: "Brother Zhao, see you in three days!"
The two talked very speculatively, unconsciously, Liu Qingyun had completely changed his view of Zhao Ziang, and felt that he should not have preconceived ill feelings towards Zhao Ziang because of the Zhao family, but he didn't know that the other party had other plans for his sister.
