"Xiao Ming, my sister also knows that your personality is so awkward because you were abandoned by your father. You are easily upset and prone to blind thoughts."
Xiao Yun came over and sat beside the bed, patting his broken ribs. The force was not strong, but it was enough to make his expression change drastically.
"But too many things have happened at home in the past two days. Your third brother and I have just escaped from the gate of hell. We don't have the energy to comfort you. You should be sensible and don't make your sister angry. Do you understand?"
Ye Wuming before his amnesia would not bow his head even if all his ribs were broken.
But now he still cherishes his life and wants to live to explore his past.
So after he recovered from the pain, he used his only intact hand to push down the quilt, and looked at her with a pair of black and white eyes, quite pitifully: "Yes, sister. It's just me. I don’t remember anything…”
Xiao Yun interrupted him: "Are you pitying me now? I'm telling you, you're disfigured now, and the old trick won't work with me anymore."
he:? ? ?
The male protagonist is shocked, doubtful, and in disbelief.
And because of the bandage on his face, he gradually began to believe everything.
Men these days care about their appearance more than women. Although he is only twelve years old and cannot be called a man, he still feels sad because of this incident.
In the original work, the male protagonist even felt inferior because of this and watched helplessly as other men courted the female protagonist.
When Xiao Yun looked back, he thought "It's almost done", but now he just wants to laugh.
The male protagonist didn't speak for a long time, and when he spoke again, he sounded even more pitiful than before: "Sister, can you tell me what's going on at home? I'm very worried about you and my brother."
Xiao Yun: "It's rare to hear you say this. Usually no matter how worried you are, no matter how big the misunderstanding happens, you won't open your mouth."
The male protagonist and female protagonist suffering from intermittent mutism are unique to ancient novels, and the original novel did not escape this curse.
Ye Wuming: "..."
Don't ask anymore, go back and grab someone, put a knife on the other person's neck and ask.
It's just that he didn't know anything while he was recuperating. He could wait.
However, Xiao Yun developed a strong desire to perform.
"Seeing that you are so honest now and can't be a monster, I will tell you something."
She recalled the Yang family files that Mo Yi had compiled for her, cleared her throat and said, "There are twelve men in our generation, not including you who are raised outside, and even more daughters."
"Brother refers to the brother who shares the same mother as me. He is the third among brothers and I am the eighth among sisters. As for you, you don't have the same mother as us. We have never seen who your mother is. It's just that we Mother will come to see you from time to time, and we will treat you as a younger brother."
Ye Wuming was not surprised by this family situation.
Because rich people generally have children, there are many cases where children form small groups, and brothers may not be united, let alone half-mothers.
From this description, their mother must have received the benefits, and because he had no mother, she cared a little about him.
"My mother passed away at the beginning of the year, so I became the one who came here to take care of you. Rebels broke into the capital. This place is not far from the city gate. The servants who were originally taking care of you in the house were scared and ran away."
"You wanted to find me, but you were chased by the rebels. In desperation, you hid in a water tank outside. I led people to look for you for a long time. Last night, I even smashed the water tank in the entire alley before I rescued you. come out."
Ye Wuming's eyes darkened.
All the servants who originally took care of him ran away, which meant that even if he caught someone and put a knife to their neck and interrogated them, they wouldn't be able to tell him anything.
After all, he is a "child raised outside."
He closed his eyes and regained his gentle tone: "What's going on with brother and sister?"
Xiao Yun artistically processed the series of events surrounding the assassination of the prince and told him.
Finally, he said: "Your Highness is kind-hearted and aware of everything. He has been helping us since he determined that we were just being used by others. Without him, your sister and I would not even be able to stay in the Yang Mansion."
Ye Wuming had no reaction to this.
His skill at pretending to be good was so bad that Xiao Yun almost wanted to beat him.
Fortunately, a waiter came to report that someone had come to visit.
"Visitor?"
Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the other party claims to be the nephew of Mr. Xie, the imperial censor. He is temporarily staying in the house next door and came to visit."
When the author of the original work wrote this article, he was probably watching Qin Dynasty, and wanted to show off his non-existent literary skills. Instead of making the prime minister minister, he set up the three ministers as the prime minister, the Taiwei and the imperial censor. Below him is Jiuqing.
Mr. Xie, the imperial censor, has a great background. Not only does he have the same rank as the three princes, but there have also been two figures of three princes in his family. His influence in the court may not be as good as that of the prime minister, but in terms of reputation, he doesn’t have much background to slander his family. Prime Minister Su.
The Xie family of Yunmu is a powerful figure in the family.
It's just that in recent years, there haven't been many children serving as officials in the court, and the imperial censor is also dawdling around waiting for retirement. The emperor wants to make a disciple of the imperial master a prince, but he only gave a few words of persuasion.
Whether it is analyzed from the details or from the subsequent development of the original work, this is Xie's intention to give up the clan.
Xiao Yun didn't really want to give up on the Xie family.
Because they have money, fame, and talent.
The male protagonist was able to destroy the Sheng Kingdom in three years, and the Xie family should take half of the credit.
"I need to freshen up. Please wait in the living room first, and then go to the flower hall."
The living room is more formal, while the flower room is more elegant.
When she met Yang Yu in the flower hall of the Prince's Mansion before, she meant that he was shady, but today she meant to be close and friendly.
Xiao Yun left Ye Wuming's room and returned to the master bedroom.
Start applying your makeup carefully in front of the mirror.
People surnamed Xie are all fine people with high family status. It is unlikely that anyone has seen the true face of the prince or obtained her portrait in private, so they have to use plastic surgery-level makeup.
There are many kinds of cosmetics on the table, including Luozidai, which is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
She used Luozida to apply eyeliner to change the shape of her eyes, and used different lipsticks to make her lips more three-dimensional and plump, and then let her hair hang down both sides of her cheeks to modify her face shape.
Finally, she chose a white dress that made her look weak and pure, put on big blue sleeves, and took the lead in sitting in the flower hall to hide her taller height among women.
Perfect.
"Go and invite the two gentlemen."
Xie You and Xie Heng had been waiting for a long time. Because the servant said, "The young master stayed up all night taking care of the injured young master and needs time to freshen up." They were not impatient.
The two of them were a little surprised when they saw the woman waiting in the flower hall.
It's not that she looks similar to the prince.
In fact, in everyone's eyes, the prince was still seriously injured and it was inconvenient to see people. Even if he entered the palace yesterday and there were rumors that "the fatal injury disappeared overnight", they only regarded it as a trick to please the emperor.
They thought she would still wear the curtain or talk to them through the bead curtain, but they didn't expect her to be so open and open to everyone's scrutiny.
After a moment of surprise, Xie You brought his younger brother to meet him.
"Yunmu Xie You and his younger brother Xie Heng have met the young lady."
Xiao Yun's expression paused, and he lowered his head to hide the excessive surprise in his eyes: "I didn't expect that the young master would take the initiative to reveal his identity. The little girl made random guesses yesterday and offended the young master."
"Miss, it's not a wrong guess. Xie and his younger brother came to Beijing only to visit relatives. To avoid suspicion from others, they kept a low profile and didn't want too many people to know our identities. We should be more open-minded when we come to visit today."
"Your caution makes sense." Xiao Yun expressed his understanding. "If the princes had known about it a few days earlier, Mr. Xie might have been detained and served as their military advisor."
Xie Heng wanted to laugh a little.
Because what she said was indeed something his brother was worried about.
Xie You's expression remained unchanged: "Young lady is so complimentary."
"I am the eighth daughter of Yang Gu, the governor of Su Neishi. My name is Yang Huan. The young master can be called this."
Xie You politely called Miss Yang without any surprise.
Combining yesterday's conversation with the neighbor's owner, Miss Yang Ba's identity can be easily determined.
Just like him.
That’s why we had this “frank” conversation.
After being invited to sit down for tea and chatting for a while, Xie You revealed the reason for his visit: "I wonder if Miss Yang heard any strange noise last night."
Xiao Yun: "Yes, it was the water tank I asked people to smash."
Xie Heng suddenly forgot the instruction to "speak less and make fewer mistakes" and screamed: "Why did you smash someone else's water tank?"
She lowered her head lower and spoke with a mixture of guilt and helplessness: "The rebel army entered the capital, and the little girl's brother was lost. I asked the gentleman for a divination, and he said he could find him in the water tank in Zhuluan Lane."
"I was so anxious that I asked people to smash all the water tanks. There were no signs of human habitation in front of the gates of each mansion. I thought we were the only ones living here, but unexpectedly, I disturbed the two young masters' good sleep."
"Today we will have people fill up the water tanks in front of each government house, and then come to each house one by one to apologize."
Xie You and the others have lived here for at least ten and a half days, and the dust in front of the door has not been swept away. It is obvious that they live in the backyard.
Otherwise, she would not have received the news that no one lived here.
Xie You first expressed his understanding of her eagerness to save people, then paid attention to the patient's condition, and finally said: "This is not a big deal. If we really go to each owner's house one by one to apologize, it will not only stir up trouble, but also affect the reputation of the lady."
"Since this matter is related to the rebels, if anyone asks about it, why don't you pretend that the rebels broke the water jars? If you go back to your house tonight and see that none of the neighbor's water jars have survived, you will send people to replace them with new ones."
Xie Heng looked at his brother in shock.
It's not like his brother can give advice (although I may do this kind of thing, the advice I give to others should always be more beautiful and upright).
Xiao Yun: "..."
You kid, you were listening to me behind the door last night, right?
She scolded the other person for speaking too narrowly, and she became even more wary.
In front of her is not only a young master with an extraordinary family background, but also the future head of the Xie family who has refused to become an official despite being invited by the male protagonist several times.
There are two reasons why the Xie family sided with the male protagonist who was the prince of the Night Kingdom.
First, no one in the clan at that time could fight. The entire Sheng Kingdom was in chaos and needed someone to calm it down.
The second is Xie Heng, the younger brother of the head of the Xie family, who is the hero’s military advisor.
Xie Heng couldn't tell how powerful he was when he was a teenager, but Xie You could already tell that his state of mind and strategy were far beyond those of others.
"I don't have any official position, but I have the ability to change clouds and rain."
He deserves this evaluation.
We have to find a way to get him and let him do the work of a group by himself.
Xiao Yun thought about it and couldn't help but become a little gentler: "Young master's idea is very good, let's do it. I wonder how long you and your brother plan to live here? My brother is about the same age as him, and I think he can make friends. indefinite."
Xie Heng looked at her in shock again. Unexpectedly, she didn't even refuse and directly accepted this opinion.
Are the ladies in the capital already so scary?
Xie You smiled faintly: "Miss, I invited you yesterday. It's hard to refuse your hospitality. Let's stay here for another month."
The man who asked the city guard not to let him go for a month looked pleasantly surprised: "That's very good. Even if the young master has seen the scenery of the capital, he probably knows very little about the people in the capital. If you don't have more contact, it's better to have more contact with Hanzhou." There is a comparison of talents."
Yunmu was in Hanzhou, and Hanzhou had many talented people.
"good."
…
Xie Heng didn't say a few words throughout the whole process.
At first it was because I was told, and later it was because I was asked, "What books has my brother read and how many words does he know?" "How is his performance in ethnic studies?" "Is the relationship with my husband good?" "Is there any little girl who can tell me about the future?" I want to marry you" and other questions and fell silent.
Xiao Yun: "Why doesn't brother Xie Heng laugh? Is it because he doesn't like to laugh by nature?"
Xie Heng: "...Yes."
