The sudden influx of low-level Beijing officials, reserve officials, children of powerful people, big businessmen in the capital, and officials who came to Beijing to report on their duties completely changed Yang Su's original intention of holding the banquet. Some people who didn't like this kind of atmosphere avoided it. Walking in the snow in the front courtyard with a few old friends looking for plum blossoms.
For this, Yang Su had no choice but to express his deepest apologies to the invited guests. Although his younger brother Yang Yue and several sons had official positions, they were all idlers and could not suppress the scene in front of him. He was still needed. The head of the family comes forward. One by one, they made a promise to these elegant scholars to hold a banquet on another day to apologize, and then arranged for domestic slaves and maids to bring pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other items to accompany them closely.
At this time, Yang Ji was of course willing to be alone with his beautiful fiancée instead of bragging to each other in public with a bunch of old men. He also took Xiao Ying to express his intention to act alone to Yang Su. He heard that the two were engaged. , Yang Su naturally congratulated him again. Yang Ji also followed Yang Guang's original words and "borrowed" several maids from Yang Su on the grounds that his own defense was insufficient. Finally, he said that the palace guards discovered that Zhang Chuchen was good.
He thought that he would have to waste a lot of time, but he thought that Yang Su was more generous than he thought. Without saying a word, he called Yang Xuanjiao, the fourth son in charge of the affairs of the house, and not only agreed to give Zhang Chuchen and his daughter to Yang Yang Ji also called out a hundred flower-like martial maids, letting Yang Ji choose, even if he wanted them all, he went back to his work.
Although Yang Ji knew that a slave girl was no different from an animal, he was frightened by Yang Su's generosity and grandeur. However, although Yang Su was grand, Yang Ji could not go too far, so he left the choice to the general. Xiao Ying is Princess Wei.
In fact, Xiao Ying was not qualified to help Yang Ji choose a maid, but the respect Yang Ji gave her made her heart warm. She suppressed her shame, and based on Zhang Chuchen's, she carefully selected nine more whose parents were still alive. The maidservant Wu gathered together a perfect one. After she selected the person, Yang Xuanjiang followed his father's instructions and gave the contracts of the ten slaves to Yang Ji. As long as he took the contract to Wannian County, he could transfer his citizenship. .
Yang Ji told them to notify their parents, pack their things, and after agreeing on a time, he took Xiao Ying to wander around the house aimlessly.
The area of the Duke of Yue's Mansion is not much different than that of Prince Wei's Mansion, with pavilions and pavilions stacked one above another, and courtyards one inside another.
Along the way, I saw curved bridges, corridors, flowing springs, rockeries, and carved railings and painted buildings, all of which were exquisite and gorgeous. These buildings, bamboos, and pines are all covered with a layer of snow. The river under the winding bridge has frozen, and there is snow on the ice, just like a beautiful ink painting.
"It's so beautiful." Xiao Ying, who was following suit, saw Yang Ji stopping at the bridgehead and naturally walked to his side, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.
"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not as beautiful as the people." Yang Ji glanced at her. Xiao Ying's appearance was too perfect to be picky. Although she was still very young, she had begun to take on the appearance of a beautiful woman.
After being alone for a few hours and choosing a maid as the mistress of the palace, Xiao Ying became much more calm. Although Yang Ji's words still made her face feel hot and her heart panic, she did not resist this almost frivolous language. , actually has a hint of sweetness.
"Lang Jun, do you think it's strange?" Xiao Ying raised her hand and swept the hair that was blown away by the strong wind on her forehead. She raised her eyebrows and glanced deeply at Yang Ji with her bright eyes.
"What do you think is strange, Madam? Tell me." Yang Ji was used to the Sui Dynasty's address. He had never felt that he was taking advantage of others, but now when he calls Xiao Ying 'Madam', he always feels that it has changed. It tastes like calling me 'wife'.
"Speaking of it, we have known each other for less than half a day! But in such a short period of time..." Xiao Ying said softly with a coy expression: "But it makes me feel inseparable, as if this is how it should be. It's really strange."
"It's not just you! I feel the same way." Yang Ji faced the eyes full of seeking solutions and said with a smile: "Maybe this is a matter of the engagement. When the elders of both parties confirm the engagement, we will be an unmarried couple. Whether we recognize it or not, we have to admit it. Subconsciously we have accepted and agreed with this relationship, and regard each other as an inseparable existence. When we met, each other felt that the other was good-looking, and then they both breathed a sigh of relief. After a few more A junior made jokes and made jokes, so I accepted it as a matter of course."
"Are you accepting your fate?" Xiao Ying's beautiful eyes were filled with sadness. Although she knew that what Yang Ji said was true, the sixteen-year-old girl had a new love interest and instinctively rejected and hated this answer.
"It's not about accepting fate, it's about fate. It's precisely because our elders make the decision that we can start the fate of this life." Yang Ji smiled brightly: "We walked all the way, enjoying the scenery along the way. As we walked, we accidentally... Your head will be gray. It will be like this for the rest of your life, why should you care about the way you started?"
Xiao Ying glanced at the snowflakes on his head, her heart skipped a beat, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
"By the way, why did the lady choose those maids who have parents?" Xiao Ying only picked ten maids. This was not surprising. After all, no one wanted to have a family full of unreliable servants. What surprised Yang Ji was that She specifically selects those maidservants who have parents and brothers. With family ties, can these maidservants still work hard?
Xiao Ying hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I know that the best singers and dancers are not only beautiful and talented, but also outstanding in their scheming skills. Some singers and dancers seem to be pure and innocent, harmless to humans and animals, but if they are cut open, they will Everyone has a delicate heart. These martial maids who were killed by thousands of troops are not only very capable, but also dare to kill people. They can survive to this day, and they must be more thoughtful than ordinary singers and dancers. I think they have parents A maidservant bound by brothers is more reliable and safer than one who has no one to rely on."
Yang Ji was shocked when he heard this. He only considered the maid's ability and practical value, but ignored the maid's ability to hurt others and hurt himself. Fortunately, he brought Xiao Ying to choose, otherwise he would definitely choose to be alone. A warrior maid.
"Lang Jun, don't you think something is wrong?" The moment of silence made Xiao Ying think that Yang Ji was meddlesome, and her heart became anxious. She didn't dare to look at Yang Ji's face, and silently lowered her head, her beautiful eyelashes It trembles with affection.
Xiao Ying's changes were seen by Yang Ji, and her heart suddenly felt soft: "I thought about it for a long time and ignored the most fundamental issue. Fortunately, I have a lady to correct the omissions."
Xiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile. Earlier, because of the "incompatible" marriage, she specially asked people to find out the news about Yang Ji, and the news she got was naturally bad.
However, Xiao Ying is a well-educated daughter of an emperor. She has a very independent and clear view of right and wrong. She is not like ordinary people who follow what others say. However, she is also half-confident and dubious about Yang Ji's character. When her sister Xiao Wan told her that someone was deliberately sabotaging When the two got married, they were keenly reminded of the allusion that "a lot of words make gold, but accumulation destroys bones". When she saw that Yang Ji was not as domineering and big-headed as the rumors said, but instead was extremely handsome and polite, like a peerless young man, her perception became even better. Under the influence of preconceptions and already-done ideas, she had no choice but what else could she say?
But what girl doesn’t have a child? What girl doesn’t long for a beautiful and romantic story?
Out of this thought, Xiao Ying was like a docile deer, cautiously approaching her inseparable fiancé. For now, her ridiculously handsome fiancé is quite good. He is not as boring as her brothers, who always scolds her sister-in-law for being 'offensive' and 'feminine'.
If she had said what she just said to her brothers, she would definitely be denounced as fallacy, and then she would be locked up for a few more days. If she still did not admit her mistake, she would continue to be locked up until she admitted her mistake; how could she be as reasonable as Yang Ji...
If Xiao Cong, Xiao Rong, Xiao Jing, Xiao Xun, Xiao Jue, Xiao Yu and others knew what the little sister was really thinking at this moment, they would be furious.
Although girls are said to be outgoing, isn't this a little too quick?
