When Xiao Yun returned home, Ye Wuming was already waiting for her.
Among the three secret guards arranged by Mo Yi, Song Yu and Bai Yan followed her out, while Wu Tong was arranged by her to take care of the male protagonist.
There was no specific order to monitor.
The male protagonist is keen enough in this regard, and as a sister, it is normal for her to ask about her brother's affairs.
Wutong stood behind Ye Wuming's wheelchair. He seemed to be very conscious of serving his young master. When he saw Xiao Yun come in, he said: "My dear, you are back. My young master misses you very much. He has been waiting for you all morning. My servant has been persuading me for a long time." Willing to eat."
"I think he is afraid that I will forget what I promised him." Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows, walked over and squatted in front of Ye Wuming, "Come, let me see what kind of servant you want."
Ye Wuming pursed his lips tightly when she told her the central issue.
"In your opinion, sister, am I such a cold person?"
Xiao Yun:?
She remembered that the male protagonist seemed to have said similar words to the female protagonist in the original work.
It can be said that there is no self-awareness.
"Xiao Ming," she said, "Most people who are cold-hearted are born and not a fault. Covering up can certainly make life less troublesome, but there is no need to lie to yourself."
To be a good person, you have to be confident about yourself.
Seeing that a certain child's expression became even more ugly, she decided to restore the non-existent sibling relationship between the two.
"Which kind of family do you prefer, a family member who knows you are indifferent and doesn't care and chooses to be tolerant, or a family member who flatters you and praises you for being kind, cheerful, and friendly to your loved ones?"
Ye Wuming tightened his sleeves and didn't want to speak.
Finally, under her gaze, he slowly placed a crumpled piece of paper into her palm.
"That's right." She patted his head with her other hand, "Hypocrisy can make you feel comfortable for a while, but sincerity is the power that supports everyone going forward."
Xiao Yun was about to get up, but Ye Wuming grabbed his sleeve.
He stared at her with his dark eyes: "Sister, she has the fragrance of dim sum and the fragrance of osmanthus."
Golden osmanthus was planted in the house, and in the attic he saw a very tall osmanthus plant next door.
He went on to say: "My sister said that she is very busy, but every time she comes back she always has time to go next door first."
At least he was given some snacks last time.
This time even the snacks were left next door.
Ye Wuming's eyes became darker and darker: "Sister, do you really like other people's younger brothers so much?"
Xiao Yun: "..."
Shouldn't we generally guess that she has a crush on the handsome guy next door?
Should I say that he is worthy of being a male protagonist... he accurately develops hostility towards outstanding people of his own age.
Someone who did not reflect at all on how he had praised the child next door in front of his "brother" said deeply: "That's not true. I mainly went to Mr. Xie to ask for advice on how to teach my younger brother."
Ye Wuming: "...Then what have you learned?"
She: "I can't do it, just give up."
The two looked at each other without words, and the confrontation ended with Ye Wuming turning into grief and anger as the driving force, and they returned to their room to study.
Xiao Yun glanced at the requirements for the boy on the note.
Ye Wuming used his bandaged right hand to write a dozen or so lines of requirements in a crooked way. In summary, he said: well-informed, good-looking, at least proficient in martial arts, and no bad habits.
For a boy who inquires about information and runs errands, he is quite demanding.
There are even requirements on appearance.
Tsk tsk tsk.
"Songyu, take this and go to Yahang to choose a servant. You must choose a servant who comes from the official's house that was recently ransacked, but you cannot choose the official's family member who was a slave."
Song Yu reminded in a low voice: "The family members of officials who are not official slaves cannot be easily bought and sold. Unless they are rewarded by the emperor or pardoned by grace, they cannot leave the supervision of the imperial court."
"oh."
Xiao Yun thought of a certain oiran who stabbed the heroine in the back after becoming friends with her, and he did not agree with this strict rule.
As the daughter of a guilty minister, she is famous all over the world and can attend various important occasions at will.
Putting this matter that had yet to be seen behind her mind, she turned around and asked someone to set up a imperial concubine's couch under the golden osmanthus tree in the yard. She made some sweet tea, read a few volumes, and lay down comfortably in the sun.
Within half an hour, Osmanthus left in embarrassment because the osmanthus fell into the skirt of his clothes with the insects.
Good guy.
No wonder the neighbor clearly set up a piano under the tree and read a book some distance away from the tree.
No wonder he takes a shower so early in the morning.
This elegance is indeed not something that ordinary people can enjoy.
After giving up being an elegant person, Xiao Yun lived a healthy life.
A bowl of lily, red dates and lotus seed soup in the morning, a bowl of snow clam, white fungus and wolfberry soup at noon, and a bowl of blood swallow before going to bed.
It made her complexion rosy and radiant.
It's a pity that such a good day only lasts two days.
The first thing that came was not the news about the rebels, but the message addressed to "Miss Yang Ba".
Xiao Yun was shocked.
From the intelligence point of view, although Yang Huan is the daughter of Zhisu Neishi, she is very transparent in the circle of ladies in the capital.
He has no talent or reputation, and he doesn't like to go out and socialize.
Even in the Yang Mansion, no one cared about her.
Therefore, the one who proposed marriage to her was Mrs. Chen, who was of average background. Chen An also had the courage to make her pregnant before the marriage.
This was the first time that she was asked to attend a banquet by name, let alone the Qiushui Banquet, which was a relatively important event among many banquets.
Xiao Yun didn't know the reason, so he flipped through the introduction to the Qiushui Banquet that was sent with him.
More confused.
This Autumn Water Banquet is held every year. Some unmarried men and women are invited to participate and some elegant entertainment activities are held. The noble ladies who perform well in each session will host the next one.
Translated, it is a high-end blind date conference, which also has the function of displaying talents.
And Miss Yang Ba is a woman whose fiancé died before the engagement was broken off, so shouldn’t she be kept a secret?
Song Yu, who answered the post, asked softly: "Young lady, you don't want to go?"
She said: "Which lady is organizing the banquet this time?"
Song said: "This is Ning Yusheng, the eldest lady of Duke Wu's mansion."
Another name with certain characteristics.
Xiao Yun also had some impression of this name.
The best friend of the second female lead, the mischievous noblewoman who charges into battle for the second female lead.
In the original work, after the new King Rong Li Han conquered the capital and captured the emperor, he tried to take the heroine as his concubine and marry the eldest daughter of Duke Wu's palace to gain the support of the nobles in the capital.
The end was quite miserable.
But looking at Ning Yusheng's life in the book, she just made the mistake of trusting her best friend too much and protecting her too much.
Apart from saying some extreme remarks, I haven't done anything too extreme.
She initially wanted to preserve her family when she married Li Han, but it was only after they got married that she blindly fell in love with that boy, completely embarking on the path of a vicious supporting actress.
The so-called viciousness is just jealousy, preventing Li Han from "favoring" the heroine, and trying to drive the heroine out of the palace.
Why was it arranged that he would be raped to death in a military camp?
Xiao Yun was full of complaints about the original work.
After weighing the matter, she made the final decision: "Reply and say that I will visit on time, and then send someone to Yang's house to pick up some of my old clothes and jewelry, and then tell Mr. Yang to take care of his children these days."
Yang Huan has few relatives and friends in Beijing, but there are still dozens of living members of the Yang family.
If she was pointed out on the spot at the Qiushui Banquet that her identity was evil, it would be difficult to end the situation.
After receiving the order, Song Yu responded crisply, ordered another maid from the palace to serve her master, and left quickly.
Xiao Yun looked at her back and suspected that these secret guards had set KPIs for themselves behind her back, and they would feel guilty if they couldn't fulfill them.
Song Yu's efficiency was comparable to that of Mo Yi. It didn't take long for him to come back with a load of clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache, and a message from Yang Gu.
"My lord said that he warned the children at home some time ago that they have not attended any banquets for more than ten days. No one will doubt them if they don't go this time."
Xiao Yun understood clearly after hearing this.
The so-called time ago should be when the original work was hit by Yang Yu's jade pendant.
Master Yang is still very good at Mingzhebao.
She said with satisfaction: "I ordered someone to pack a box of snacks sent from the Prince's Mansion and send them as a filial piety from my brother and me."
Then he looked through what was delivered.
Most of them are new.
It's the same style as the rest of the old stuff, and the materials are similar.
"Send someone to send these old things to Yang Yu. If anyone in the mansion asks about it, they will say that they have strong opinions on autumn, and the mansion has given clothes to my brother and me."
After a few days of settling in, not all the people in the mansion were from the Prince's Mansion. Some of the servants responsible for cleaning were assigned by Yang Gu from the Yang Mansion.
He has an identity and doesn't know much about the situation in the two houses.
"Then young master..." Songyu reminded her that there was another child at home.
"oh."
Xiao Yun thought about the hero's current condition. He was covered in bandages, his bones and joints were still swollen, and he had to buy clothes several sizes too big. Buying too much was a waste.
She picked up a white fox fur cloak and said, "Let's make this a smaller one for his wheelchair, and then tell him that after he takes off the bandage, I will take him to the street to buy new clothes."
Of course, going out to buy clothes is like drawing a cake.
When the time comes, he will use the excuse of being "very busy" and ask the embroiderer in the mansion to do it for him.
Young Ye Wuming didn't understand what an "adult's lie" was. He only saw Wutong and Songyu cutting off a large piece of the precious white fox cloak without blinking, and cutting it into a style that suited him.
The promise to take him to the street to buy clothes sounded to him like a comfort that "my brother has nothing to be ashamed of".
If Xiao Yun had a system, she would now receive a reminder of "The male protagonist's favorability +1".
Of course, she wouldn't care even if she received it.
Because for her, you can bet on human nature, but not on feelings.
Xiao Yun only has one thing to say about his current situation: Fortunately, he became a prince, and the life of the rich lady is really hard.
When attending a banquet, the preparation process alone is extremely cumbersome.
Half an hour of beauty treatment in the morning, noon and evening, herbal bath, and someone to correct your posture and explain etiquette.
You should also inquire about the attire of the noble ladies attending the banquet, so as not to match their clothes.
It’s best not to conflict with colors, styles, and styles.
She also needs to have fashionable matching to prevent others from thinking that she cannot keep up with the trend.
As a prince, you only need to choose one of the clothes provided, then put on the curtain and go out.
Those who accidentally matched her clothes had to change into their own spare clothes.
"Right is intoxicating..."
Facing the beautiful but dull-eyed woman in the mirror, she tried to pull herself together, trying to pull out a gentle and dignified smile that seemed to be pretending to be strong.
After all, she is a fragile woman whose fiancé just died.
For a moment, Xiao Yun looked at himself in the mirror, and what he thought of was not the lovely Bai Yinshuang, but the smiling and stabbing Xu Yingying.
Well, at least it's not Jiang Yuyan.
She comforted herself.
Then he calmed down his expression, went out in a dignified manner, and boarded the carriage sent by the Prince's Palace.
No matter why Ning Yusheng invited her to the banquet, the "Prince" personally sending her to the venue would eliminate 90% of the trouble.
