The midsummer in Chang'an is annoyingly hot, which is very different from southern Yunnan.
Yuan Cixian was scared by the sun and had not left for several days. Once, she received a thank-you gift from the old lady of the Lu family, saying that she was grateful for her helping her last year and apologized for Lu Shuangyu's reckless behavior a few days ago.
This incident was over. She didn't care much, and she was thinking about the important things and ordered Zhuzhi to go outside to find out the situation in the capital, while also concerned about the movements in the mansion.
After a few days, she felt that the family was not very good.
She had been separated from her brother for many years. Although she had been in contact with letters, she could not understand his situation with just a few words on paper. In my impression, her brother did not like to do homework, practiced skills, was indifferent to political affairs, and had no intention of competing for fame. But these days, she found that several servants in the house acted strangely and seemed to talk to him in the study, and talked for a long time.
These people are not like servants, but like servants kept in the mansion.
But my brother didn't even have a job, so what did you want your disciples to do? Yuan Cixian asked twice, but Yuan Yu always avoided talking.
Since you can't ask directly, just talk clichés.
In the afternoon of that day, she found her brother to play chess. After killing a few games, she knocked on Yuzi and tentatively said, "Brother came back and said, "The Sixth Prince gave you a rare breed of thrush. Why don't you bring it to me now?"
Yuan Yu paused, "Do you like bird watching now? I'll ask someone to buy a pleasing one for you to play with tomorrow."
"I don't want it, it's rare for noble people to give it to you."
"What's so strange?" Yuan Yu looked at her, "I died after raising her for a few days."
Yuan Cixian looked at him inadvertently and said, "Then tell him to send another one."
"A man is a prince, can you obey your brother's order?"
She said "Oh" and said disappointedly: "I said that brother and he have a friend of birds, so it is better to be familiar with each other..."
Yuan Yu said strangely. My sister seems to be not a person who is obsessed with playing games. Since she shouldn't be interested in the Sixth Prince's bird, or the Sixth Prince?
He simply stopped leaving his feet and said with a stern face: "Dad wrote to you, you ran to Chang'an because you missed me, but I don't look like you... Did you deceive my dad? In fact, this time I'm here to secretly look at the Ruyi Man, right?"
Yuan Cixian choked up.
Of course, she coaxed and deceived her father and mother, otherwise she would not have come this time. But it is not a bad thing for her brother to misunderstand this direction. After all, she is unable to tell the truth at the moment.
Not to mention that there is little information, we cannot determine whether the dream is true or false. Even if this dream is the future, she cannot tell her father and brother easily. Both father and brother are people who do not believe in the evil sayings of gods and ghosts. They want them to believe it, even if they cannot provide real evidence, at least they are not so vernacular.
What's more important is that my father is an old stubborn, with a pure and loyal heart, and is so upright that he is almost foolish and loyal. The elder brother has a slightly floating temperament and a soft ear. How to avoid the counter-effects? She has to think about it carefully.
She thought about it, and had a decision, and said with a smile: "Yes."
Yuan Yu was stunned for a while and pointed at her and said, "Okay! Is it because my father and mother don't love you, or is it because my brother neglecting you and actually told you to rush to throw yourself out?" He was so angry that he stood up. "Last time I asked me about Lu Zishu, and this time I asked the Sixth Prince again, you Yuan Cixian, you are quite angry!"
He actually took a fancy to two handsome men who were the best in Chang'an! Is he Yuan Yu not good-looking enough, and he was so handsome that he called his sister to hook him up?
Yuan Cixian stood up and pulled him down, coaxing him, "Isn't this the man in Yaozhou not enough? I don't want to marry, I just look for it as soon as possible. My brother also knew about the Nanzhao incident and I had avoided it before, but what if I did it again?" She showed longing, "Last time, I knew that my brother didn't like him, where is this sixth prince?"
Yuan Yu glanced at her, hesitated for a while, and said angrily: "It's not appropriate."
Yuan Cixian asked the reason and said for a long time before he explained vaguely: "The Sixth Prince is a good person, but the situation in the court is complicated. How can the royal family enter at will? Discard this idea as soon as possible."
"Since the crown prince was deposed and executed, the position of the crown prince was empty for a long time. The so-called situation in the court is just a few princes fighting for a throne? In this way, could the sixth prince also covet the throne?"
Yuan Yu was shocked to her: "You are so brave that you dare to say anything!"
Yuan Cixian felt nervous when she saw his reaction.
Nowadays, the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a real direct line. She heard from Zhuzhi that the two older princes who were interested in being the crown prince were two older princes. However, the sixth son was a little young, and his mother's family was weak, so he was not favored by the holy people. He always had mediocre circumstances and was not a candidate for the crown prince whom everyone expected, so he should not have such ambition.
But depending on my brother's attitude, it is obviously not the case.
But even if the Sixth Prince has great ambitions, it is not something that is made public, how did her idle brother know about it?
Yuan Cixian bent over and leaned into his ear: "Look at what you are anxious, may you hide it from my father..." She dragged her tail and said, "Are you involved in the position of the court?"
Yuan Yu was so scared that he almost jumped up, and then he said, "No way I have it! Don't think about it, don't talk nonsense to my father!" After that, he was not interested in playing chess. "It's getting late, and brother will have a distinguished guest to entertain later. You can have a meal with my sister-in-law first."
Yuan Cixian nodded and left as if nothing had happened. She turned around and whispered to Shi Cui: "There are guests in the mansion tonight, so watch me."
...
After dinner, Yuan Cixian had just finished taking a shower when she heard Shi Cui say that the guest was here and was being led to his brother's study by the servant.
The brother obviously had something to hide from her, and maybe even her father. If this so-called "distinguished guest" entered the study, she would probably be hard to see her again.
She ordered the maid who was wearing her to be quicker. After a hurry to clean up, she hurriedly ran out of the yard. Her black hair, which was still wet, was loosely wrapped around her head, and she had no time to combed it.
The evening wind was hot, and Yuan Cixian was sweating. He picked up the path and stopped all the way to the corridor in front of his elder brother's study, holding the pillar in his hand to breathe.
She looked around and was lamenting whether she was a step late when she suddenly heard rustling from the other corner.
Yuan Cixian looked up and before she could stand up straight, she saw someone around the corner. Unexpectedly, her eyes met.
He was a man in black with a wide robe and big sleeves, with a wooden hairpin tied with hair and a silver mask on his face. His appearance was not completely covered, and even his mouth, nose and eyes were only exposed, and he could not distinguish the contours of the corners of his mouth and the corners of his eyes.
He didn't seem to have expected someone on this side to stop, and stopped slightly.
The sky was not yet dark, and the afterglow leaked from the cracks on the corridor above my head. The entire Chang'an City was shrouded in this yellow light. So was the woman in front of me.
His eyes first fell to Yuan Cixian's hand, and saw that her palm was supporting the corridor column, and her jade-like fingers were particularly white by the dark vermilion cylinders.
Her eyes moved slightly, and she saw her beautiful nose, willow eyebrows, her jade skin, cherry lips, her cheeks were dyed with redness, and a few strands of wet hair were pressed against her cheeks. Her eyes were covered with wet mist. Her lips were slightly opened due to surprise, revealing her two small white teeth.
After the man paused, he bowed to her.
Yuan Cixian came back to her senses, straightened her back, nodded and felt very naturally, pretending to ask the servant behind him, and dragged her back, "Is this one--?"
The servant replied: "My little lady, this gentleman is the distinguished guest of the husband."
Sure enough, I couldn't find out anything. After running for a long time, I didn't even know that someone was a white-faced person.
Seeing him nodding and saying goodbye, Yuan Cixian was a little unwilling to accept it. She stepped forward and knocked on Yuan Yu's door first.
In this movement, the flower skirt between her body was swaying, and the fragrance of soapberry and flower dew suddenly penetrated into the man's nose, causing him to subconsciously take a step back.
Yuan Cixian smiled, neither looking at him nor explaining, and said to the inside: "Brother, I have something left in your study."
Yuan Yu said, "Come in."
Then she looked at the man behind her and said according to the servant's name, "Sir, please come in."
He seemed very polite and nodded at her again.
Yuan Yu hurriedly came out and showed respect: "Sir, are here." He whispered to Yuan Cixian who was walking quickly in, "Tell me what I have fallen, and I will ask someone to send it to you when I look back."
She waved her hand and said casually: "I'll just look for it myself."
Yuan Yu choked and had to invite the guests to sit down first, and said, "My sister is reckless. If you offend me, please take care of me."
Yuan Cixian rummaged through the room, while raising her ears and heard the man say, "You are polite, General."
It is a very low and thick voice, which sounds much older than the younger brother.
Yuan Yu and him sat down at the table. Seeing Yuan Cixian spinning like a headless fly, he waited for a while and urged, "Cixian, what have you fallen into? I'm about to talk about it."
She stood up from under the table, dialed her hair before her forehead, and said with no shame: "Brother, just talk. No matter what I do, I will go back if I find it, and I won't delay your business."
Yuan Yu had no choice but to laugh dryly at the person opposite him.
The man's eyes were not squinting, his face was blocked by a mask, and he could not see his emotions.
Yuan Cixian pretended to behave for a long time, but no one saw them speak again. Seeing that his brother had made up his mind to not give it to her, he had to give up, use the screen to cover it, bent down and pull a pearl embroidered on his shoes, pulling it down, and get up in surprise: "Oh!"
She twisted the pearl on her fingertips and shook it: "Brother, I'm looking for it!"
Yuan Yu looked at her with a headache: "Then go back to the room quickly."
His sister's acting skills are probably the same clumsy and exaggerated as he is.
She walked over with a smile: "Yes, brother is busy." After that, she pointed to the lychees on the small table and signaled to the opponent to eat them, "Sir, this lychees are very sweet."
The man nodded again and returned the salute, his eyes swept over her skirt, looked at the apricot-colored bushes with a corner exposed, and quickly moved away.
After Yuan Cixian left, Yuan Yu said embarrassedly: "I'll laugh at you."
He shook his head: "Let the sister be honest and innocent, how can she laugh at me?"
Yuan Yu thought this was an antonym.
At that time, my mother named her sister "Cixian". What a good meaning. She didn't want to tell her to go off the road. She didn't become elegant, but instead played polo and Cuju, and she had a stomach full of bad water. Especially in the vast and free southwest region over the years, she was favored by her father and mother, so she was simply walking sideways.
He sighed and then asked about the important matter: "What's the matter with this voluntary appointment?"
The man said: "Have the general considered marriage for the county lord?"
Yuan Yu was stunned: "Why did you say this sir?"
"I am here to give the sixth prince a peace of mind. Seeing that the general was hesitant, His Highness said that he would like to take the county lord as his concubine to show sincerity. He also promised that if things were done, he would share the glory with the county lord for the rest of his life and respect each other as guests. If things failed, he would also strive to protect the lives of the county lord and the Yuan family."
Yuan Yu's expression tightened.
The man pursed his lips slightly and asked, "General, just imagine, if there is a relationship between the county lord and His Highness, will it be easy to convince Lingzun...?"
