I heard from Yang Zhao that the court meetings these days are very strange. In addition to the original elders of the three provinces and six tribes, many people with lordships are also allowed to enter the court.
In other words, there were more than a hundred officials in court during this period.
Yang Zhao could have participated, but because he was leading the army general from afar, he has been staying in Zuowuweifu these days. It is said that large-scale troop mobilization has begun in the Jingzhao area, and heavy troops have been deployed around the capital, and all military generals , are now temporarily placed under the command of one person, Wei Wang Yang Shuang.
Now the officials are shocked and confused, the generals are confused, and many people don't know what's going on.
In fact, nothing is happening at the moment.
But Yang Ming knew in his heart that the day of showdown between Yang Jian and his wife was not far away.
Although Yang Ming had Wang Jue, he was still under age and could make an audience, but could not attend the court meeting. Therefore, Yang Ming had no involvement in the future direction of the Sui Dynasty.
I wanted to go out on a sunny day, but it rained heavily for several days and showed no sign of letting up.
On this day, Li Yuan and his son came to say goodbye. Yang Guang and his wife took Yang Ming to send Li Yuan outside the house.
Yang Ming looked at the retreating figures of the father and son, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In this era, the status of the eldest son is really rock solid.
Just look at Li Yuan holding an umbrella, holding big hands and small hands, walking on the wet street, the two figures from behind, one big and one small, are so harmonious in the rain.
Even the walking postures of father and son are very similar, and they both have a straight face.
Yang Ming had been holding it in at home for many days and couldn't hold it in any longer, so he had no choice but to go out in the rain.
As soon as I boarded the carriage, the rain suddenly started pouring down in torrents.
Fortunately, the urban drainage function of Daxing City is very complete, and the terrain of the entire capital is high in the north and low in the south, which helps rainwater drain through the dense ditches and waterways in Daxing City.
There are also three internal canals: Longshou, Qingming, and Yong'an, so Daxing City will generally not be flooded unless it encounters a once-in-a-century heavy rain.
After all, the reason why Yang Jian built Daxing City was because when the old Han Dynasty Chang'an City encountered heavy rains, the Wei River would flood Chang'an after it surged. Therefore, when Daxing City was built from the beginning, special attention was paid to the drainage function.
Yang Ming took a carriage and walked on the wet streets to Jinyang Tower.
The main roads in Daxing City are all stone roads, and dirt roads only exist in the inner streets.
In the entire city, there are only a few scattered streets with stone pavements, and these stone pavements were built by the people on this street who raised their own money.
The street where Jinyang Tower is located is of course also a stone road. Unfortunately, the street is now covered with mud, and the muddy water brought by pedestrians from other places has covered the entire street.
Chen Shuyi got out of the car one step ahead, opened her umbrella, and then helped Yang Ming out of the car.
After entering the building, Yang Ming went straight to the high pavilion where Gao Yue was.
During this period, Yu Wenlan received the news, ran all the way to find Yang Ming, and said:
"Since the last performance of the Gao family, many scholars have approached Xiaoren privately, hoping to give a name to that high pavilion. There are Yuyin Pavilion, Echoing Pavilion and Qingyin Pavilion as options. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Yang Ming said as he walked: "Whatever."
Um...what kind of casual method is this? Yu Wenlan didn't dare to make up his mind, so he looked embarrassed.
"Let's call it Qingyin Pavilion. What do you think, Your Highness?" Chen Shuyi said at the side.
Yang Ming nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he waved his hand towards Yu Wenlan, who took the opportunity to leave.
The location of the high pavilion is in the middle of the inner garden. There is a pond that must be passed by. The area is not small.
When Yang Ming passed by here, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings. Unexpectedly, Chen Shuyi tapped his shoulder with his finger, and then pointed to a willow tree in the distance.
Yang Ming looked in the direction pointed by Chen Shuyi, and saw Gao Yue, dressed in white as snow, with a curtain above her head, holding an oil umbrella alone, facing the direction of the pond.
The water droplets splashed by the rain on the ground had soaked the hem of her skirt and stuck to her legs, but Gao Yue remained indifferent.
"This woman is so tall," Chen Shuyi said with some envy.
Tall women generally have long legs, and women with long legs are always good-looking.
In fact, Gao Yue is not too tall, only about 1.75 meters. Of course, he is definitely considered tall among women.
Chen Shuyi should be about 1.68 meters tall, and Yang Yinjiang is a bit taller, about 1.7 meters tall. This is Yang Ming's visual answer. He doesn't know the specific height.
Gao Yue seemed to have discovered the existence of the two of them, so he took a Wanfu towards where Yang Ming was standing.
Yang Ming also nodded towards the other party from a distance.
Then, Gao Yue turned around, still facing the pond, with a tall and straight figure, like a sculpture. Except for the long hair on his back blowing in the wind, he remained motionless.
"She's so strange...couldn't she be Gao Yue?" Chen Shuyi asked curiously.
Yang Ming nodded: "How is it? Do you feel that you are in the same boat?"
Chen Shuyi suddenly frowned and raised her voice: "Are you exposing my scars?"
Look, are you yelling at me again? Although my words are a bit weird.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "I'm sorry."
Chen Shuyi pursed her lips. Of course she wouldn't be really angry, so she said, "Don't you just come here to see her? Why don't you go over?"
Yang Ming said: "I suddenly feel that you seemed more suitable in the past."
In fact, the purpose of Yang Ming's coming here is very simple, just to see if there is any way to exploit Gao Yue's weakness.
For example, he would ask the other party: Are there any difficulties that need help? Or is it? Are there any issues that need to be resolved?
In short, it's just a test to see if the other person wants anything from him.
But now Yang Ming suddenly felt that asking this question would be very abrupt, so he felt that Chen Shuyi, who was also the princess of the country, would be more suitable to come forward than him.
"Let me go? What can I talk about with her?" Chen Shuyi asked doubtfully.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Just talk to her about anything. In short, try to make her want to be friends with you."
Instruct Chen Shuyi not to make things too complicated. She can't do anything complicated, so just let her chat.
Chat club, right? Things you can do with your mouth.
After Chen Shuyi thought for a while, she frowned and said, "Is it that simple? Just chatting?"
Yeah, it's so simple, I'm afraid you'll screw it up. Yang Ming nodded and said, "Go ahead."
After speaking, Yang Ming took the initiative to leave. He was afraid that his presence would interfere with the communication between the two.
The confused Chen Shuyi just walked towards Gao Yue like this.
"It's very humid on a rainy day, so the girl's clothes are too thin," Chen Shuyi took the initiative to say under the willow tree.
Gao Yue is wearing a one-piece tulle long skirt. The inner lining and outer shirt are all made of silk, which is indeed very thin.
On the other hand, Chen Shuyi wears a robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves made of silk, and wears a futou on her head, which is completely men's clothing.
Of course, even a person can tell that she is a woman. You can tell by looking at her breasts without looking at her face.
Faced with the initiative of the beauty next to her, Gao Yue just turned her head slightly, nodded slightly towards Chen Shuyi, and then turned back.
Ha...She actually ignored me?
With just one sentence, Chen Shuyi almost wanted to retreat because she didn't like the feeling of being ignored by strangers.
But Yang Ming gave orders first, so she could only stay there shamelessly.
After thinking about the words in her mind for a long time, Chen Shuyi struck up a conversation again:
"Why does Miss Gao always wear a curtain? Don't you find it boring?"
"Boring," Chen Shuyi replied with just one word.
This woman is so rude. He talks to her with a smile on his face, and she responds like this?
Chen Shuyi held back her anger and said, "Since it's boring, why don't you pick it off?"
This time no one answered her.
"Do you always have this tone with everyone?" Chen Shuyi's tone was already a little impatient: "No matter how good-looking you are, there is no need to always wear a curtain. Is it useful? Is it possible that if you wear a curtain, you will Or the golden branches and jade leaves of Jiuqi?"
If you talk nicely, people will ignore you, let alone say it in such a rude manner.
So Gao Yue didn't even look back this time.
Chen Shuyi was angry: "I hate women like you the most. You deliberately talk about yourself and give yourself a sense of mystery so that those lustful people will flock to you."
"Is this useful? You are not a geisha yet? You can't even marry into a good family..."
Cursing and cursing, Chen Shuyi suddenly fell silent.
Because she thought of herself, as the daughter of a subjugated country, there was a high chance that she would be used as a concubine by a noble of the Sui Dynasty. It might be an old man of Yang Su's age, or she might be an ugly person. In short, she couldn't help it. .
Fortunately, she is Yang Ming's man now, and Yang Ming also joked that day that he would take her as his concubine in the future.
Perhaps, this is the best destination for him in this life.
By the lake, the two women fell silent. Pedestrians passing by would focus on Chen Shuyi when they occasionally saw them.
With a proud figure and a beautiful face, what man wouldn’t want to take a second look at her?
"Why don't you scold me? I'm listening." Gao Yue took the initiative to turn around this time, looking at Chen Shuyi's lonely expression, and said softly: "I have never seen such a beautiful woman like you in Jinyang. What is your name?" ?」
Chen Shuyi had no expression on her face and responded calmly: "What's your name again?"
Gao Yue laughed and said, "Didn't you just call me Miss Gao? Don't you know?"
"I know it's my business," this time it was the other way around, and it was Chen Shuyi's turn to speak coldly.
Gao Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "My name is Gao Yue, from Bohai. Where is the girl?"
Chen Shuyi said: "Chen Shuyi is from Jiangnan."
Gao Yue trembled and said in disbelief: "It turns out to be the eldest princess of Nanchen. I was really rude just now."
As the saying goes, beauties come from the nobility, and golden branches come from the royal family. In addition to her sharp words, the beautiful girl in front of her has a rare appearance and temperament. Gao Yue had already guessed that she had an extraordinary background, but he never expected that she was the direct relative of Chen Shubao and Shen Wuhua. daughter.
"No, you are so arrogant. I, the daughter of a subjugated country, am ashamed of myself," Chen Shuyi said in a strange tone.
Gao Yue didn't take Chen Shuyi's ridicule seriously and explained with a smile:
"I have such a bad temper. I have always been reticent. Especially after the fall of the country, I rarely spoke to strangers. I am rude just now. Please forgive me, Miss Chen."
Chen Shuyi has a carefree temperament, has no ambition, is easy to get angry and easy to calm down,
Now that the other party has surrendered, Chen Shuyi certainly won't hold on to her, so she asked:
"I heard that you are very good at playing the piano and you have all the talents of the Zhong family. Do you know Wu Sheng?"
Wusheng is a type of Qing Dynasty business music. It is adapted from folk songs in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in the Jiankang area. The most famous ones are "Yushu Flowers" and "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" written by Chen Shubao. Although they have been It is called the sound of a subjugated country, but it is undeniable that it is Wu Sheng's masterpiece.
Gao Yue nodded and said: "To be a little knowledgeable, since my sister is here, can Gao Yue be allowed to humbly ask for advice?"
If you listen to it more, you will naturally understand that there are Wu Sheng performances almost every day in the old Chen Palace, and Chen Shuyi is at least half a Wu Sheng connoisseur.
She nodded: "It's too cold here, go to where you live."
Gao Yue turned sideways and raised her hand: "Sister, please."
