Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 67 Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin was quite happy to hear that, so he first asked who the so-called son of the first family was.Unexpectedly, the eyes of all the people who were talking were different, and they hesitated to speak, but they all just snickered and didn't want to say anything clearly.
Li Mingda pulled Li Shimin, "They are all groundless rumors, they are not credible, so don't listen to them."
The scholar who spoke was a little annoyed when he heard Li Mingda's words, "I am a dignified gentleman. I grew up on the nine scriptures, so how could I be like a gossip woman and say some untrue things. I won't hide it from you. I will tell you what I said. I heard it with my own ears."
"Is it a gentleman to spread the eavesdropping story everywhere? It's fine if you like to criticize others behind your back, but don't pretend to be a gentleman, otherwise a gentleman will want to beat you when he hears it." Li Mingda said.
"Hey, you little gentleman, we eat and chat, what's bothering you, can you control us? Or are you just like that young master, you are as good as Long Yang?" He glanced at Li Shimin meaningfully.
Although this person is wearing ordinary clothes, his sitting posture is dignified, which is different from ordinary people.In Chang'an City, there are many nobles who just like to pretend to be ordinary people and experience life, and this one is like that.Looking at the followers behind them, all of them staring at him, these two probably are noble lords.
Then look at the young gentleman who provoked him to speak, with a soft and handsome face, just now he was holding the sleeve of the older gentleman, very coquettish.This action does not look like a father and son.How can a ten-year-old son go out with his father and even pull his father's sleeve?
"What my son said is quite right. This is a gentleman who should not speak up and frame others without evidence. This is indeed not what a gentleman did." Li Shimin saw that the guy's eyes were wrong, but he was not annoyed, and spoke to him in a deep tone. Explain that he and his son are only father and son.
When the scholar heard this, he glanced at Li Mingda again, but he didn't believe it.There is no father who is idle these days and takes his son out shopping.Aristocratic sons like to play by themselves, and they are more restrained with the older generation.Besides, those elders are always putting on airs in front of their sons, so they can play around and pull their sleeves according to their son's interest.
But because he didn't know who they were, and he was afraid of offending some royal family and dignitaries, the scholar was also cautious, so he didn't say anything, just shouted disappointment to his companions, and went to another place.
Several people booed and left together.
Seeing that the old customers were driven away, the shopkeeper of the restaurant was a little unhappy, but he didn't want to neglect the current customers, but he couldn't help complaining, so he came here to argue with Li Shimin and others.
"No wonder Su Sanlang said that he really listened. He happened to pass by the wine and knew who was in it. His words fell into his ears just like that. It's such a big secret. You said he could hold it back." live?"
Li Mingda didn't expect to drive one away and another came again, now it's all right, before he could open his mouth to drive people away, his father asked the shopkeeper first, who were the two talking to him at that time.
Li Mingda rested his chin and seemed to be listening unintentionally, but his eyes kept staring at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked left and right, a little hesitant.Li Shimin immediately signaled his subordinates to give the shopkeeper some money.
Then the shopkeeper smiled and said to Li Shimin: "But don't tell the outside world that what I said is what I said, these two noble lords, our small shop can't afford to offend."
Li Shimin nodded and let him continue.
"I heard that one is Fang Shizi, and the other is Yuchi Erlang who has a special friendship with Fang Shizi. The words came from Yuchi Erlang's mouth, saying that Fang Shizi likes Jiujiulang."
"Fang Shizi." Li Shimin sighed in surprise, and thought a lot in his mind, "Then who is this nineteenth man?"
"I don't know. But if you listen to the name, you will know that the other party must be a gentleman, and he is very young, so there is nothing wrong with Su Dalang saying that he has more than one peach."
"That's right." Li Shimin suddenly agreed, and then looked at Li Mingda.
Li Mingda blinked, held his chin, and looked away boredly.
After Li Shimin dismissed the shopkeeper, he asked Li Mingda: "Sis, do you know who this Nineteenth Man is?"
"Ah?" Li Mingda pretended to be confused, and glanced at Cheng Chubi. Seeing that his expression had not changed with a cold face, he was convinced, "What Jiujiu Lang? Whose?"
"You child, why are you so confused? Let me ask you." Li Shimin noticed that Li Mingda's attitude was a little abnormal, and instead stared at her more closely.
"Aye, who is Yuchi Baoqi, don't you know? Nonsense comes first." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda suspiciously, "Really?"
"Yeah, you've been with him for a long time, and you know how mysterious his mouth is." Li Mingda argued.
Li Shimin blinked his eyes, "Why now I just think your words are a bit mysterious."
"Where is it, to be honest. Ah Ye!" Li Mingda smiled and pulled off Li Shimin's sleeve, "I smell the smell of grilled lamb chops, and I want to eat it."
"Stop doing this, I won't eat it." Li Shimin shook off Li Mingda's hand, and looked at her seriously, "I didn't want to talk about it, but I was a little scared seeing you talking so much, but I really want to ask you gone."
"Ask what?" Li Mingda blinked at Li Shimin with a smile on her face, and she couldn't shrink her head at critical moments. .
"Do you know this Jiujiu Lang?"
Li Mingda: "This..."
"to be frank!"
"It should be regarded as acquaintance." Li Mingda thought for a while, "But the two of them don't have the relationship that Aye thought."
"Do you know which floor I thought of?" Li Shimin asked back.
Li Mingda choked, she had to admit that she was no match for the Eternal Emperor.
Li Shimin's eyes were secretive, "Coincidentally, you are also ranked nineteenth."
Li Mingda looked away in embarrassment, moved his lips, and wanted to say something, but felt that his little thoughts could not be hidden in front of his father, so he might as well not say it.Besides, this is Yuchi Baoqi saying that Fang Yi has always liked her, and it has nothing to do with her, so she has nothing to say.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda for a while, and suddenly laughed, "But you are Nineteen Mother, not Nineteen Lang."
Li Mingda felt that his father's conversation was changing strangely, so he glanced at him defensively.
At this time, Li Shimin hooked his hands and summoned Zhou Changhuai, his personal bodyguard, to investigate the identity of the nineteenth man.
Li Mingda became dubious.My father is martial and wise, he...would...didn't guess it?
"Let's go and eat grilled lamb chops." Li Shimin got up.
Li Mingda dubiously followed behind his father, wondering if he knew and pretended to be confused, or he didn't know.
"Then there are sugar figurines, son, go and buy me one." Li Shimin said happily.
Li Mingda took the money and went away, then bought twelve sugar figurines and came back.She and Li Shimin each have one, and the sturdy guards behind them also have one.
Ten big men eat sugar man together in the street, it's a bit——
But what the princess gave, even the poison had to be taken, besides, the saints were taking it.
The guards looked at the sugar figurine in their hands with fear and complicated emotions, and hesitantly opened their mouths to take a bite under the eyes of passers-by from time to time.
Cheng Chubi stuffed the whole sugar figurine into his mouth with no expression on his face, licked it in his mouth, and then left a bamboo stick in his hand.
Seeing this, the rest of the guards felt that this method was very good, so they followed suit and ate it all at once.
But because of their well-trained routine, the nine guards unintentionally acted in unison.Seeing this, the people around laughed and even applauded.
Li Shimin and Li Mingda, who were walking ahead, turned their heads at the same time when they heard the sound.The ten guards looked a little embarrassed, and hurried out of the dozens of onlookers.
Because this laughter attracted the attention of the surrounding people, Yuchi Baoqi, who came to the restaurant early in the morning to meet friends, recognized Li Mingda and Li Shimin at a glance through the window of the private room.
When ordinary people see a sage wearing clothes, they will definitely hide if they can, but Yuchi Baoqi is not an ordinary person, even if he is on the second floor, he hastily beckoned.Because he didn't know how to address Li Shimin, he directly called "Nineteen Lang" to Li Mingda.
Li Shimin looked up.
Li Mingda also looked over, then turned around and looked at the ground, looking for any seams.
Yuchi Baoqi happily saluted the sage when he saw him.Seeing the sage nodding again, signaling for himself to go downstairs, Yuchi Baoqi was even happier, and stepped downstairs, hurriedly walked up to Li Shimin to salute.
"My surname is Qin." Li Shimin instructed.
It used to be the King of Qin, so the surname Qin is naturally correct.
Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly said: "I have seen Mr. Qin Lang."
Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda beside him.At this time, Li Mingda had quickly sorted out his emotions, and his expression was as indifferent as Cheng Chubi's.
"What did you call me just now?"
Yuchi Baoqi looked at Li Mingda's side and felt something was wrong, she hurriedly apologized that her eyesight was not good just now, and at first she called out that she wasn't a princess, "Ten, it's...Jiu Niang."
Yuchi Baoqi then pointed to the tofu seller 'Xi Shi' on the other side of the street, "People call her Fang Jiuniang."
Li Shimin looked over, and happened to be that 'Fang Jiuniang' raised eyebrows and smiled here.
Yuchi Baoqi smiled and said: "But I never thought that I would call out to Jiu Niang, and I would have the chance to meet Qin Langjun He, He..."
"Look at you, why are you still being polite? You can just call me Shiro as you did when you were traveling before." Li Mingda said.
"Silang?" Li Shimin glanced suspiciously at Li Mingda, the fourth place is the same as him, but how do you judge it?Li Shimin would like to see how his smart baby daughter can fulfill her title.
"Si's Si." Li Mingda explained to Li Shimin in a low voice.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then laughed.Then without saying much, he strode ahead.
Li Mingda immediately winked at Yuchi Baoqi, "Your mouth!"
"What's wrong with my mouth, it's always been pretty." Yuchi Baoqi said innocently.
"Let me ask you, did you tell Fang Yi that he likes Nineteen Lang in the restaurant before, and it was heard and spread widely." Li Mingda gritted his teeth and said.
"Ah, no wonder your father just now..." Yuchi Baoqi covered her mouth, then looked at Li Shimin with fear, and then at Li Mingda, "Did your father know?"
"I don't know." Li Mingda said angrily.
"It's okay if I don't know. Fortunately, I reacted in time, and you also reacted very quickly. How about returning Shiro haha..."
"I mean, I don't know if he knows." Li Mingda gave him a look, then walked away.
Yuchi Baoqi repeated what Li Mingda said just now, "I don't know if he knows." Does the saint know or not?
Seeing the two of them catching up, Li Shimin smiled and asked Yuchi Baoqi what else there was to do in Chang'an City.
Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly introduced several restaurants with good food, and after a group of people tried it, their stomachs were full.
Seeing that the current place is not far from Qujiang Pond, Li Shimin said, "It's just a matter of time to take a walk in Qujiang Pond to digest food."
Yuchi Baoqi hesitated to speak, but seeing that the saint was in the right mood, she didn't stop her.
Li Mingda was also very happy, talking and laughing with Li Shimin along the way, looking at the scenery of Qujiang Pond, and feeling that he should take a boat for a walk.
Li Shimin thought it was ok, so he wanted to give orders immediately.
Yuchi Baoqi couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Recently, no one dares to take a boat in Qujiang Pond."
"Why?" Li Shimin asked.
"Because...there have been water ghosts in the past two days, Mr. Qin Lang, look, there used to be people on both sides of the bank, but now there is not even a mosquito."
Li Mingda slandered inwardly when she heard the words, there were obviously a lot of mosquitoes, but she saw no less than a hundred of them.There were also two flying over, heading straight for Aye's neck.Li Mingda hurriedly unfolded the folding fan in his hand and waved it away to drive him away.
Feeling the wind, Li Shimin turned his eyes to look at his daughter, with a doting smile on his lips.It just so happened that he felt hot. This kid is sensible and has a good sense of words and expressions.
Yuchi Baoqi then pointed around the river bank, "Look, there's no one around here. Usually there would always be a few boats on the river, but they're gone, all because of the rumor about water ghosts."
"How did you come up with this argument?" Li Shimin asked.
"That's what went viral in the past two days, saying that there are always water ghosts haunting these two days, and people have encountered them every night. It's full of hair, with two big horns on its head, there are water stains in the places you walk, and it makes a purr. The sound was very frightening. Two of the people near Qujiangchi have been scared out of their wits, and they are still lying at home delirious."
Li Shimin sighed: "This is strange."
Li Mingda is still using his fan to drive away mosquitoes.
Li Shimin asked her puzzled, "What do you think?"
"Rumors are always exaggerated. If you don't keep those people together, if you see a cow running out of the water, because the night is dark and you can't see clearly, they will undoubtedly think it is a water ghost." Li Mingda was deeply affected by rumors. Damn, I think it's about the same.
"Your statement is a bit interesting. It seems that you don't believe it." Li Shimin sighed.
"Of course I don't believe it, unless someone actually catches one and delivers it to me." Li Mingda said seriously to Li Shimin after he slapped away a mosquito with his fan.
"That's good," Li Shimin smiled, "Anyway, my son has nothing to do, so let's help the people near Qujiang Pond drive away ghosts."
Li Mingda: "Aye, you should ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts."
Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly introduced himself: "I know two famous Taoist priests who exorcise ghosts."
"Alright, let Baoqi try it first."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, seeing that it was getting late, he hurried back to the palace.The father and daughter still go back on horseback, so they can see more of the bustle of the market.
Yuchi Baoqi wanted to escort him back to the palace, but Li Shimin waved his hand and told him to play as he should.The hatchback will leave here.
"Why doesn't Aye let him follow?" Li Mingda asked.
"He even knows the name of the woman who sells tofu. If we take him along, I'm afraid he will know most of the people in Chang'an City by the way." Li Shimin sighed with a smile.
Li Mingda nodded and praised his father for his wisdom, "That's right."
Unexpectedly, just after Yuchi Baoqi finished speaking, Li Mingda bumped into two acquaintances one after another on the way.
The first one was Ji Zhiyuan who came to take the imperial examination from Cizhou. He lived in an inn and went to practice martial arts outside the city in the morning. When he came back, he was walking on the street with a long gun. He happened to bump into Li Mingda. The people were terrified.
What was even more frightening were the guards behind Li Shimin. When they saw Ji Zhiyuan's face full of flesh and menace, they immediately wanted to draw their knives, wishing to kill the vicious bandit who was blocking the road.
Fortunately, Cheng Chubi hurriedly shouted at this moment: "This person has no malicious intentions."
The guards were the ones who held their ground.
"Aye, he is someone I met in Cizhou, his name is Ji Zhiyuan." Li Mingda hurriedly explained to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's expression remained the same, he got off his horse and called him to get up.
When Ji Zhiyuan heard the princess call this heroic man Aye, he trembled and almost revealed his identity. Fortunately, he still had some brains and realized in time that the occasion was wrong.However, etiquette should not be underestimated, and he simply kowtowed three times to Li Shimin.Because of his stupid mouth, he didn't say anything.
Li Shimin was stunned, hearing the kowtow sound so loud, it hurts to hear it, and he really couldn't say anything to blame.
"Get up quickly." Li Mingda said.
Ji Zhiyuan hurriedly got up obediently, only then did he realize that his kowtow attracted many people to watch.
"I said it earlier, you don't have to thank me so much for saving your life." Li Mingda said deliberately loudly.
When the onlookers heard this, they all understood what was going on, and dispersed one after another.
When Ji Zhiyuan heard this, he remembered that the princess was able to clear up his grievances in Cizhou. The princess was right, it was equivalent to saving his life, so he knelt down again and kowtowed to Li Mingda.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help pulling the corners of his mouth.
Cheng Chubi hurriedly helped him up, and whispered something in his ear.Ji Zhiyuan suddenly realized, and scratched his head in embarrassment to make amends.
"I heard that you are here to take the martial arts exam, work hard, I am optimistic about you." Li Mingda encouraged him.
Ji Zhiyuan suddenly became energetic, and thanked Li Mingda hurriedly.
Li Mingda was afraid that he would call him Nineteen Lang, so he hurriedly told him that it would be fine to call him Shiro outside in the future.
Ji Zhiyuan nodded hurriedly, called Shiro obediently, and then respectfully sent Li Mingda and Li Shimin away.
After passing through Pingkang Square, a luxurious carriage came from the opposite side.When Li Mingda and others passed by the carriage, the carriage stopped suddenly after driving a short distance away.Then I saw a young girl poking out from the car, with bright almond eyes, looking towards Li Mingda curiously.
Li Shimin glanced back, then looked at Li Mingda, "Do you know him again?"
Li Mingda turned his head to look at Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chubi immediately understood, turned his horse's head and headed towards the carriage.Li Mingda immediately smiled at Li Shimin, saying it was nothing.
"Just now you said Yuchi Baoqi, I think you are almost on par with him." Li Shimin smiled, not minding that his daughter has many friends.This can only show that his daughter has a good temper and is easy to get along with, which is why so many people like her.
Li Mingda immediately swung his whip to speed up his horse riding.
Seeing that her riding skills were getting better, Li Shimin became interested and hurriedly chased her.In any case, the road leading directly to Chengtianmen is further ahead, and there are few people on the road except for the officials and relatives who enter the palace to meet the saints, so it doesn't matter if the two of them ride fast horses.
Zhou Xiaohe heard Cheng Chubi's repelling words, then glanced at the group of people who galloped away, frowned, then put down the curtain unhappily, and sat firmly in the car.
"Go home."
"Sanniang, just came out-"
"Go home." Zhou Xiaohe repeated.
The maid agreed and hurriedly ordered to go on.
After returning to Zheng Guogong's mansion, Zhou Xiaohe hurried to find Wei Wanshu, and told her how she met Princess Jinyang on the way and wanted to say hello, but was sent away by her guards.
After Wei Wanshu listened to her quietly, she didn't catch Zhou Xiaohe's concerns, but asked her: "You said that there was an older man riding side by side with Princess Jinyang at that time?"
"Yeah, he looks like he's 40 years old. He looks like a martial artist, and his eyes are kind and sharp. I guess it's his uncle, grandson Wuji, or her cousin, or something like a prince. The two of them are really interesting." , riding a fine jujube horse, but wearing the clothes of ordinary people, neither fish nor fowl."
"Nonsense! You dare to say such rebellious words." Wei Wanshu's face was very stern, "Xiaohe, this is Chang'an City, not Jinzhou City where you can be rampant. Here, the spittle of the rich and powerful can put You drown."
Zhou Xiaohe was stunned for a moment, then sniffled and lowered her head.
"Do you know who the nondescript person you are talking about is?"
"Who?"
"Today's saint." Wei Wanshu said angrily.
Zhou Xiaohe was very surprised, busy covering her grown-up crimes, staring at Wei Wanshu, "Saint, saint? No way, shouldn't saints usually meet with officials in the Hall of Erectile Dysfunction and deal with government affairs? How can they have the time to accompany them?" Princess hang out."
"That depends on which princess it is. For Princess Jinyang, anything is possible." Wei Wanshu touched Zhou Xiaohe's forehead with hatred, "Why are you so stupid!"
"I was wrong, cousin, please forgive me, a country girl, she has never seen the world. But I also know that those words just now are a bit offensive, so I will only say it in private with my closest cousin, but I dare not in front of others .” Zhou Xiaohe apologized.
"If you dared to face me, you wouldn't come to see me right now. You would have gone to see the King of Hell." Wei Wanshu nodded Zhou Xiaohe's forehead again, "Remember clearly, in Chang'an City, it is better to pretend that your grandson is wronged than to offend others. You can't close your eyes and talk crazy, or you won't know how you died."
"Understood, cousin." Zhou Xiaohe continued to admit his mistake honestly.
"I just heard what you said, and it seems that I am quite dissatisfied with Princess Jinyang, so you take it back to me. The honor of the princess is not comparable to that of you and me. You must not take your little daughter The result is that you will lose your life before you start." Wei Wanshu felt that her cousin's signs were too wrong, so she warned her repeatedly that she was living in her own house, and if she was stupid, she would be in trouble. The entire Zheng Guogong's mansion was destroyed.
"Okay, okay, I sincerely apologize to my cousin, and give myself a good elm head." After Zhou Xiaohe finished speaking, she really hit her head hard with her fist to show her sincerity.
Only then did Wei Wanshu's expression loosen, "Fortunately, you understand, otherwise I will ask my father to send you back to Jinzhou tomorrow."
"Okay, I know I was wrong." Zhou Xiaohe grabbed Wei Wanshu's arm and said with a smile, "From now on, my cousin will do whatever she says, and I will obey her. But don't let me go back, Chang'an City is so fun, I haven't visited enough yet Woolen cloth."
"Didn't you say to visit your good sister earlier, why did you come back suddenly, just because you ran into the princess halfway?"
Zhou Xiaohe nodded, expressing that he was not in the mood to go.
"It's just in time to come back. Yuan Yue just heard some news, and I was hesitating whether to tell you or not." Wei Wanshu said.
Zhou Xiaohe hurriedly asked what was the matter.
Wei Wanshu looked at Zhou Xiaohe sympathetically: "There are some rumors about Fang Shizi outside, and I don't know if it's true or not. Don't be sad when you hear it."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Xiaohe asked anxiously.
"Say he is as good as Long Yang." Wei Wanshu said bluntly.
"Ah? This is impossible!"
"It was rumored that it was a coincidence that someone just overheard the private conversation between Yuchi Baoqi and Fang Shizi." Wei Wanshu said with some embarrassment. As a daughter who has not left the cabinet, she felt that she said these words a little out of proportion, "After all, I just fell in love with the young gentleman of a certain family. The ranking is very low. He must be very young. To put it in a harsh way, it is-child molestation."
Zhou Xiaohe's face turned pale, "Mo, child mole? He? How could..."
"It's no wonder." Wei Wanshu thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"No wonder what?" Zhou Xiaohe asked in confusion.
"It's no wonder that he had the chance to become the Lord, but he boldly rejected the saint. It's no wonder that his younger brother is married, and he is seventeen years old, but he still hasn't announced a marriage. It turns out that the truth is because of this." Wei Wanshu said.
Zhou Xiaohe's face turned completely pale, "Really?"
"What's true? The word has already been spread like this, plus what happened before, what do you think?"
"Ah——" Zhou Xiaohe sat down listlessly, put her hands on the table listlessly, leaned her face against her arms, and her eyes showed infinite sorrow and disappointment.
……
Liang Guogong's mansion.
When Mrs. Lu heard some rumors outside, she was as anxious as the ants on the hot pot, and immediately asked someone to bring the eldest son back.I didn't want to send a group of people there, but they didn't come back.Lu Shi was in a hurry, so he sent the third son, Fang Yi, to go in person.
"If you don't bring me back, you don't want to come back either. I'll pretend I never had a son!"
Fang Yi felt that he was very innocent and felt that his mother was a bit too partial. "Brother is your son, so am I, and I didn't make a mistake."
"Would you like to go?"
"Let's go, let's go." Fang Yi shouted reluctantly, and then politely saluted Lu Shi and said goodbye.
An hour later, Fang Yizhi returned home under Fang Yize's leadership.Coincidentally, Yuchi Baoqi also followed,
After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Lu's patience was already exhausted. Seeing that the two people in question had come, she became even more angry, and immediately asked them what was going on.
"The younger generation unfortunately heard this rumor today," Yuchi Baoqi hastily apologized to Lu Shi, "it was a joke between the younger generation and Yizhi brother, who would have thought that there would be villains listening to the wall. The younger generation has already found out who is blind It's passed on, so I'll arrest him now, give me a good warning, and ask him to quickly clarify the name of brother Yizhi."
Seeing Yuchi Baoqi's attitude of admitting his mistake was good, Lu nodded, indicating that he must do what he says.
"No need." Fang Yi said straight.
A word stirred up a thousand waves.
Several people looked at Fang Yizhi in amazement at the same time.
Fang Yizhi's face was still pale, "It's good that way."
"Very-good?" Fang Yi was so surprised that he changed his tone, "Brother, are you sick, have a fever, or have you been beaten and disabled?"
"Bah! Can't you say something nice?" Lu stared at Fang Yizhi, and then asked Fang Yizhi in a gentle tone, what did he mean by that.
Fang Yizhi: "Aniang just doesn't need to find a reason to refuse those who intend to propose marriage."
"Compared with your reputation, I'd rather find a reason." Lu pondered for a while, "But this will offend some people less."
"A Niang actually thinks about it again, that's the reputation of the big brother!" Fang Yi said in surprise.
Yuchi Baoqi didn't think it was a big deal to join in the fun, and nodded in agreement with Fang Yizhi's idea, it would be better if his reputation was a bit dirty, so as to save himself the pressure of standing side by side with him in the future.
"There won't be any major incidents. After a few days, the rumors will pass, and it will be nothing. Don't worry, A Niang." Fang Yi said straight.
"But who is this nineteenth man, and why does Bao Qi say that you like him? Just tell me clearly, which family's young man is this?" Lu pursued.
Yuchi Baoqi looked at Fang Yizhi, and saw that he didn't refuse, so she coughed, took a few steps forward, and told Lu in a low voice, "Actually, this nineteenth man is from the Taiji Palace."
Tai Chi Palace?
Lu Shi didn't react at first, and then realized that Princess Jinyang happened to be No.19 among the saint's princesses.
Fang Yi couldn't hear clearly with his ears pricked up, and moved to Lu Shi and Yuchi Baoqi to join in, but they finished talking.
"Whose family is it?" Fang Yi asked in confusion.
Lu Shi glared at him, "It's none of your business, go and study."
"Aniang, but you told me to call my elder brother to come back, and I obviously participated in it, but now you are driving me away, isn't it a bit—"
"Go." Shi Lu pointed to the door.
Fang Yi pursed his lips, nodded and went obediently.
Only Fang Yizhi and Yuchi Baoqi were left in the house.
Sitting at the top, Mrs. Lu looked at the two children silently, and then asked Yuchi Baoqi: "My boss really likes Princess Jinyang?"
"Mother." Fang Yi said straight.
Lu stretched out his hand, signaling Fang Yi to stop talking, and then smiled and asked Yuchi Baoqi to sit down, so that he could answer his own question.
"I like it, I think I definitely like it." Yuchi Baoqi replied cheerfully, and after receiving Fang Yizhi's and sharp gazes, Yuchi Baoqi immediately added in fear, "But brother Yizhi has always refused to admit it."
Lu's eyebrows and eyes were smiling like flowers just now, but when he heard Yuchi Baoqi's next words, his serious eyes immediately shot to Fang Yizhi.
Fang Yizhi said helplessly, "Mother doesn't need to worry about this matter."
"Can I not worry about it? You are the eldest son of the Fang family, and you have more burdens than your brothers."
"I just understand."
"Admit it if you understand it?" Lu raised his eyebrows and asked the guide.
"Aniang, it's not enough to recognize her, as long as the princess is fine." Fang Yi replied warmly.
"What do you mean by 'Princess is good'? You brought her home, provided for her well, and protected her, then she will definitely be fine." Lu spread his hands, looking at the room in puzzlement, " There is nothing unrecognizable, and there are no outsiders at the moment."
After hearing Lu Shi's words, Fang Yi was slightly taken aback, looking at her thoughtfully.
The moment Lu Shi met his son's gaze, his heart trembled, "My son, you really don't have any other thoughts, do you?"
Fang Yi was silent.
Yuchi Baoqi was also surprised, scratched her head, and muttered introspectively: "Then this time, I am really talking nonsense, and I have caused trouble by spreading rumors."
Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly apologized to Lu Shi first, then apologized to Fang Yizhi, and then promised to explain clearly the rumors outside.
"Don't worry about it, if I have an opinion, you can't wait until now to apologize." Fang Yi said bluntly, and then bowed to Lu Shi, "I made my mother worry about it, and I will pay attention to it in the future."
Lu snorted, and waved her hands in disappointment, feeling as if she had suddenly lost a lot of inexplicable things that made her very heartbroken.
Yuchi Baoqi and Fang Yizhi were sent out together.
"What should we do now?" Yuchi Baoqi asked Fang Yizhi puzzled.
"Where should I go, I have something to do." Fang Yi patted Yuchi Baoqi directly, telling him not to mind Lu Shi's temper, "A Niang is always like that, come and go quickly."
"I like her temper. It's a pity that my mother left early. I really envy you."
"Make this home your home." Fang Yi said bluntly, and said goodbye to Yuchi Baoqi.
Yuchi Baoqi looked at Fang Yizhi's back in a daze, and suddenly called him: "I really misunderstood before that, you really didn't treat the princess..."
Fang Yi turned his head sideways, "The previous one was indeed a misunderstanding."
Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a while, then suddenly he laughed a little silly, he hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked Fang Yizhi.
Fang Yizhi didn't know what kind of madness he was, because there was something outside and he couldn't do anything, so he was eager to leave, so he waved his hand and let him do whatever he wanted.
Fang Yi went straight, but Yuchi Baoqi's heart fluttered, and he happily clenched his left hand and punched his right.
The entourage, Duofu, had never seen his own Erlang so happy, so he hurriedly asked why.
"Let's go, let's go to Fengyue Tower."
"Erlang, are you going to meet that confidante Miao Feifei again?" Duofu asked helplessly.
"No, go and break up with them." Yuchi Baoqi suddenly looked serious, with determination in his eyes.
Li Mingda pulled Li Shimin, "They are all groundless rumors, they are not credible, so don't listen to them."
The scholar who spoke was a little annoyed when he heard Li Mingda's words, "I am a dignified gentleman. I grew up on the nine scriptures, so how could I be like a gossip woman and say some untrue things. I won't hide it from you. I will tell you what I said. I heard it with my own ears."
"Is it a gentleman to spread the eavesdropping story everywhere? It's fine if you like to criticize others behind your back, but don't pretend to be a gentleman, otherwise a gentleman will want to beat you when he hears it." Li Mingda said.
"Hey, you little gentleman, we eat and chat, what's bothering you, can you control us? Or are you just like that young master, you are as good as Long Yang?" He glanced at Li Shimin meaningfully.
Although this person is wearing ordinary clothes, his sitting posture is dignified, which is different from ordinary people.In Chang'an City, there are many nobles who just like to pretend to be ordinary people and experience life, and this one is like that.Looking at the followers behind them, all of them staring at him, these two probably are noble lords.
Then look at the young gentleman who provoked him to speak, with a soft and handsome face, just now he was holding the sleeve of the older gentleman, very coquettish.This action does not look like a father and son.How can a ten-year-old son go out with his father and even pull his father's sleeve?
"What my son said is quite right. This is a gentleman who should not speak up and frame others without evidence. This is indeed not what a gentleman did." Li Shimin saw that the guy's eyes were wrong, but he was not annoyed, and spoke to him in a deep tone. Explain that he and his son are only father and son.
When the scholar heard this, he glanced at Li Mingda again, but he didn't believe it.There is no father who is idle these days and takes his son out shopping.Aristocratic sons like to play by themselves, and they are more restrained with the older generation.Besides, those elders are always putting on airs in front of their sons, so they can play around and pull their sleeves according to their son's interest.
But because he didn't know who they were, and he was afraid of offending some royal family and dignitaries, the scholar was also cautious, so he didn't say anything, just shouted disappointment to his companions, and went to another place.
Several people booed and left together.
Seeing that the old customers were driven away, the shopkeeper of the restaurant was a little unhappy, but he didn't want to neglect the current customers, but he couldn't help complaining, so he came here to argue with Li Shimin and others.
"No wonder Su Sanlang said that he really listened. He happened to pass by the wine and knew who was in it. His words fell into his ears just like that. It's such a big secret. You said he could hold it back." live?"
Li Mingda didn't expect to drive one away and another came again, now it's all right, before he could open his mouth to drive people away, his father asked the shopkeeper first, who were the two talking to him at that time.
Li Mingda rested his chin and seemed to be listening unintentionally, but his eyes kept staring at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked left and right, a little hesitant.Li Shimin immediately signaled his subordinates to give the shopkeeper some money.
Then the shopkeeper smiled and said to Li Shimin: "But don't tell the outside world that what I said is what I said, these two noble lords, our small shop can't afford to offend."
Li Shimin nodded and let him continue.
"I heard that one is Fang Shizi, and the other is Yuchi Erlang who has a special friendship with Fang Shizi. The words came from Yuchi Erlang's mouth, saying that Fang Shizi likes Jiujiulang."
"Fang Shizi." Li Shimin sighed in surprise, and thought a lot in his mind, "Then who is this nineteenth man?"
"I don't know. But if you listen to the name, you will know that the other party must be a gentleman, and he is very young, so there is nothing wrong with Su Dalang saying that he has more than one peach."
"That's right." Li Shimin suddenly agreed, and then looked at Li Mingda.
Li Mingda blinked, held his chin, and looked away boredly.
After Li Shimin dismissed the shopkeeper, he asked Li Mingda: "Sis, do you know who this Nineteenth Man is?"
"Ah?" Li Mingda pretended to be confused, and glanced at Cheng Chubi. Seeing that his expression had not changed with a cold face, he was convinced, "What Jiujiu Lang? Whose?"
"You child, why are you so confused? Let me ask you." Li Shimin noticed that Li Mingda's attitude was a little abnormal, and instead stared at her more closely.
"Aye, who is Yuchi Baoqi, don't you know? Nonsense comes first." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda suspiciously, "Really?"
"Yeah, you've been with him for a long time, and you know how mysterious his mouth is." Li Mingda argued.
Li Shimin blinked his eyes, "Why now I just think your words are a bit mysterious."
"Where is it, to be honest. Ah Ye!" Li Mingda smiled and pulled off Li Shimin's sleeve, "I smell the smell of grilled lamb chops, and I want to eat it."
"Stop doing this, I won't eat it." Li Shimin shook off Li Mingda's hand, and looked at her seriously, "I didn't want to talk about it, but I was a little scared seeing you talking so much, but I really want to ask you gone."
"Ask what?" Li Mingda blinked at Li Shimin with a smile on her face, and she couldn't shrink her head at critical moments. .
"Do you know this Jiujiu Lang?"
Li Mingda: "This..."
"to be frank!"
"It should be regarded as acquaintance." Li Mingda thought for a while, "But the two of them don't have the relationship that Aye thought."
"Do you know which floor I thought of?" Li Shimin asked back.
Li Mingda choked, she had to admit that she was no match for the Eternal Emperor.
Li Shimin's eyes were secretive, "Coincidentally, you are also ranked nineteenth."
Li Mingda looked away in embarrassment, moved his lips, and wanted to say something, but felt that his little thoughts could not be hidden in front of his father, so he might as well not say it.Besides, this is Yuchi Baoqi saying that Fang Yi has always liked her, and it has nothing to do with her, so she has nothing to say.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda for a while, and suddenly laughed, "But you are Nineteen Mother, not Nineteen Lang."
Li Mingda felt that his father's conversation was changing strangely, so he glanced at him defensively.
At this time, Li Shimin hooked his hands and summoned Zhou Changhuai, his personal bodyguard, to investigate the identity of the nineteenth man.
Li Mingda became dubious.My father is martial and wise, he...would...didn't guess it?
"Let's go and eat grilled lamb chops." Li Shimin got up.
Li Mingda dubiously followed behind his father, wondering if he knew and pretended to be confused, or he didn't know.
"Then there are sugar figurines, son, go and buy me one." Li Shimin said happily.
Li Mingda took the money and went away, then bought twelve sugar figurines and came back.She and Li Shimin each have one, and the sturdy guards behind them also have one.
Ten big men eat sugar man together in the street, it's a bit——
But what the princess gave, even the poison had to be taken, besides, the saints were taking it.
The guards looked at the sugar figurine in their hands with fear and complicated emotions, and hesitantly opened their mouths to take a bite under the eyes of passers-by from time to time.
Cheng Chubi stuffed the whole sugar figurine into his mouth with no expression on his face, licked it in his mouth, and then left a bamboo stick in his hand.
Seeing this, the rest of the guards felt that this method was very good, so they followed suit and ate it all at once.
But because of their well-trained routine, the nine guards unintentionally acted in unison.Seeing this, the people around laughed and even applauded.
Li Shimin and Li Mingda, who were walking ahead, turned their heads at the same time when they heard the sound.The ten guards looked a little embarrassed, and hurried out of the dozens of onlookers.
Because this laughter attracted the attention of the surrounding people, Yuchi Baoqi, who came to the restaurant early in the morning to meet friends, recognized Li Mingda and Li Shimin at a glance through the window of the private room.
When ordinary people see a sage wearing clothes, they will definitely hide if they can, but Yuchi Baoqi is not an ordinary person, even if he is on the second floor, he hastily beckoned.Because he didn't know how to address Li Shimin, he directly called "Nineteen Lang" to Li Mingda.
Li Shimin looked up.
Li Mingda also looked over, then turned around and looked at the ground, looking for any seams.
Yuchi Baoqi happily saluted the sage when he saw him.Seeing the sage nodding again, signaling for himself to go downstairs, Yuchi Baoqi was even happier, and stepped downstairs, hurriedly walked up to Li Shimin to salute.
"My surname is Qin." Li Shimin instructed.
It used to be the King of Qin, so the surname Qin is naturally correct.
Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly said: "I have seen Mr. Qin Lang."
Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda beside him.At this time, Li Mingda had quickly sorted out his emotions, and his expression was as indifferent as Cheng Chubi's.
"What did you call me just now?"
Yuchi Baoqi looked at Li Mingda's side and felt something was wrong, she hurriedly apologized that her eyesight was not good just now, and at first she called out that she wasn't a princess, "Ten, it's...Jiu Niang."
Yuchi Baoqi then pointed to the tofu seller 'Xi Shi' on the other side of the street, "People call her Fang Jiuniang."
Li Shimin looked over, and happened to be that 'Fang Jiuniang' raised eyebrows and smiled here.
Yuchi Baoqi smiled and said: "But I never thought that I would call out to Jiu Niang, and I would have the chance to meet Qin Langjun He, He..."
"Look at you, why are you still being polite? You can just call me Shiro as you did when you were traveling before." Li Mingda said.
"Silang?" Li Shimin glanced suspiciously at Li Mingda, the fourth place is the same as him, but how do you judge it?Li Shimin would like to see how his smart baby daughter can fulfill her title.
"Si's Si." Li Mingda explained to Li Shimin in a low voice.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then laughed.Then without saying much, he strode ahead.
Li Mingda immediately winked at Yuchi Baoqi, "Your mouth!"
"What's wrong with my mouth, it's always been pretty." Yuchi Baoqi said innocently.
"Let me ask you, did you tell Fang Yi that he likes Nineteen Lang in the restaurant before, and it was heard and spread widely." Li Mingda gritted his teeth and said.
"Ah, no wonder your father just now..." Yuchi Baoqi covered her mouth, then looked at Li Shimin with fear, and then at Li Mingda, "Did your father know?"
"I don't know." Li Mingda said angrily.
"It's okay if I don't know. Fortunately, I reacted in time, and you also reacted very quickly. How about returning Shiro haha..."
"I mean, I don't know if he knows." Li Mingda gave him a look, then walked away.
Yuchi Baoqi repeated what Li Mingda said just now, "I don't know if he knows." Does the saint know or not?
Seeing the two of them catching up, Li Shimin smiled and asked Yuchi Baoqi what else there was to do in Chang'an City.
Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly introduced several restaurants with good food, and after a group of people tried it, their stomachs were full.
Seeing that the current place is not far from Qujiang Pond, Li Shimin said, "It's just a matter of time to take a walk in Qujiang Pond to digest food."
Yuchi Baoqi hesitated to speak, but seeing that the saint was in the right mood, she didn't stop her.
Li Mingda was also very happy, talking and laughing with Li Shimin along the way, looking at the scenery of Qujiang Pond, and feeling that he should take a boat for a walk.
Li Shimin thought it was ok, so he wanted to give orders immediately.
Yuchi Baoqi couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Recently, no one dares to take a boat in Qujiang Pond."
"Why?" Li Shimin asked.
"Because...there have been water ghosts in the past two days, Mr. Qin Lang, look, there used to be people on both sides of the bank, but now there is not even a mosquito."
Li Mingda slandered inwardly when she heard the words, there were obviously a lot of mosquitoes, but she saw no less than a hundred of them.There were also two flying over, heading straight for Aye's neck.Li Mingda hurriedly unfolded the folding fan in his hand and waved it away to drive him away.
Feeling the wind, Li Shimin turned his eyes to look at his daughter, with a doting smile on his lips.It just so happened that he felt hot. This kid is sensible and has a good sense of words and expressions.
Yuchi Baoqi then pointed around the river bank, "Look, there's no one around here. Usually there would always be a few boats on the river, but they're gone, all because of the rumor about water ghosts."
"How did you come up with this argument?" Li Shimin asked.
"That's what went viral in the past two days, saying that there are always water ghosts haunting these two days, and people have encountered them every night. It's full of hair, with two big horns on its head, there are water stains in the places you walk, and it makes a purr. The sound was very frightening. Two of the people near Qujiangchi have been scared out of their wits, and they are still lying at home delirious."
Li Shimin sighed: "This is strange."
Li Mingda is still using his fan to drive away mosquitoes.
Li Shimin asked her puzzled, "What do you think?"
"Rumors are always exaggerated. If you don't keep those people together, if you see a cow running out of the water, because the night is dark and you can't see clearly, they will undoubtedly think it is a water ghost." Li Mingda was deeply affected by rumors. Damn, I think it's about the same.
"Your statement is a bit interesting. It seems that you don't believe it." Li Shimin sighed.
"Of course I don't believe it, unless someone actually catches one and delivers it to me." Li Mingda said seriously to Li Shimin after he slapped away a mosquito with his fan.
"That's good," Li Shimin smiled, "Anyway, my son has nothing to do, so let's help the people near Qujiang Pond drive away ghosts."
Li Mingda: "Aye, you should ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts."
Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly introduced himself: "I know two famous Taoist priests who exorcise ghosts."
"Alright, let Baoqi try it first."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, seeing that it was getting late, he hurried back to the palace.The father and daughter still go back on horseback, so they can see more of the bustle of the market.
Yuchi Baoqi wanted to escort him back to the palace, but Li Shimin waved his hand and told him to play as he should.The hatchback will leave here.
"Why doesn't Aye let him follow?" Li Mingda asked.
"He even knows the name of the woman who sells tofu. If we take him along, I'm afraid he will know most of the people in Chang'an City by the way." Li Shimin sighed with a smile.
Li Mingda nodded and praised his father for his wisdom, "That's right."
Unexpectedly, just after Yuchi Baoqi finished speaking, Li Mingda bumped into two acquaintances one after another on the way.
The first one was Ji Zhiyuan who came to take the imperial examination from Cizhou. He lived in an inn and went to practice martial arts outside the city in the morning. When he came back, he was walking on the street with a long gun. He happened to bump into Li Mingda. The people were terrified.
What was even more frightening were the guards behind Li Shimin. When they saw Ji Zhiyuan's face full of flesh and menace, they immediately wanted to draw their knives, wishing to kill the vicious bandit who was blocking the road.
Fortunately, Cheng Chubi hurriedly shouted at this moment: "This person has no malicious intentions."
The guards were the ones who held their ground.
"Aye, he is someone I met in Cizhou, his name is Ji Zhiyuan." Li Mingda hurriedly explained to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's expression remained the same, he got off his horse and called him to get up.
When Ji Zhiyuan heard the princess call this heroic man Aye, he trembled and almost revealed his identity. Fortunately, he still had some brains and realized in time that the occasion was wrong.However, etiquette should not be underestimated, and he simply kowtowed three times to Li Shimin.Because of his stupid mouth, he didn't say anything.
Li Shimin was stunned, hearing the kowtow sound so loud, it hurts to hear it, and he really couldn't say anything to blame.
"Get up quickly." Li Mingda said.
Ji Zhiyuan hurriedly got up obediently, only then did he realize that his kowtow attracted many people to watch.
"I said it earlier, you don't have to thank me so much for saving your life." Li Mingda said deliberately loudly.
When the onlookers heard this, they all understood what was going on, and dispersed one after another.
When Ji Zhiyuan heard this, he remembered that the princess was able to clear up his grievances in Cizhou. The princess was right, it was equivalent to saving his life, so he knelt down again and kowtowed to Li Mingda.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help pulling the corners of his mouth.
Cheng Chubi hurriedly helped him up, and whispered something in his ear.Ji Zhiyuan suddenly realized, and scratched his head in embarrassment to make amends.
"I heard that you are here to take the martial arts exam, work hard, I am optimistic about you." Li Mingda encouraged him.
Ji Zhiyuan suddenly became energetic, and thanked Li Mingda hurriedly.
Li Mingda was afraid that he would call him Nineteen Lang, so he hurriedly told him that it would be fine to call him Shiro outside in the future.
Ji Zhiyuan nodded hurriedly, called Shiro obediently, and then respectfully sent Li Mingda and Li Shimin away.
After passing through Pingkang Square, a luxurious carriage came from the opposite side.When Li Mingda and others passed by the carriage, the carriage stopped suddenly after driving a short distance away.Then I saw a young girl poking out from the car, with bright almond eyes, looking towards Li Mingda curiously.
Li Shimin glanced back, then looked at Li Mingda, "Do you know him again?"
Li Mingda turned his head to look at Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chubi immediately understood, turned his horse's head and headed towards the carriage.Li Mingda immediately smiled at Li Shimin, saying it was nothing.
"Just now you said Yuchi Baoqi, I think you are almost on par with him." Li Shimin smiled, not minding that his daughter has many friends.This can only show that his daughter has a good temper and is easy to get along with, which is why so many people like her.
Li Mingda immediately swung his whip to speed up his horse riding.
Seeing that her riding skills were getting better, Li Shimin became interested and hurriedly chased her.In any case, the road leading directly to Chengtianmen is further ahead, and there are few people on the road except for the officials and relatives who enter the palace to meet the saints, so it doesn't matter if the two of them ride fast horses.
Zhou Xiaohe heard Cheng Chubi's repelling words, then glanced at the group of people who galloped away, frowned, then put down the curtain unhappily, and sat firmly in the car.
"Go home."
"Sanniang, just came out-"
"Go home." Zhou Xiaohe repeated.
The maid agreed and hurriedly ordered to go on.
After returning to Zheng Guogong's mansion, Zhou Xiaohe hurried to find Wei Wanshu, and told her how she met Princess Jinyang on the way and wanted to say hello, but was sent away by her guards.
After Wei Wanshu listened to her quietly, she didn't catch Zhou Xiaohe's concerns, but asked her: "You said that there was an older man riding side by side with Princess Jinyang at that time?"
"Yeah, he looks like he's 40 years old. He looks like a martial artist, and his eyes are kind and sharp. I guess it's his uncle, grandson Wuji, or her cousin, or something like a prince. The two of them are really interesting." , riding a fine jujube horse, but wearing the clothes of ordinary people, neither fish nor fowl."
"Nonsense! You dare to say such rebellious words." Wei Wanshu's face was very stern, "Xiaohe, this is Chang'an City, not Jinzhou City where you can be rampant. Here, the spittle of the rich and powerful can put You drown."
Zhou Xiaohe was stunned for a moment, then sniffled and lowered her head.
"Do you know who the nondescript person you are talking about is?"
"Who?"
"Today's saint." Wei Wanshu said angrily.
Zhou Xiaohe was very surprised, busy covering her grown-up crimes, staring at Wei Wanshu, "Saint, saint? No way, shouldn't saints usually meet with officials in the Hall of Erectile Dysfunction and deal with government affairs? How can they have the time to accompany them?" Princess hang out."
"That depends on which princess it is. For Princess Jinyang, anything is possible." Wei Wanshu touched Zhou Xiaohe's forehead with hatred, "Why are you so stupid!"
"I was wrong, cousin, please forgive me, a country girl, she has never seen the world. But I also know that those words just now are a bit offensive, so I will only say it in private with my closest cousin, but I dare not in front of others .” Zhou Xiaohe apologized.
"If you dared to face me, you wouldn't come to see me right now. You would have gone to see the King of Hell." Wei Wanshu nodded Zhou Xiaohe's forehead again, "Remember clearly, in Chang'an City, it is better to pretend that your grandson is wronged than to offend others. You can't close your eyes and talk crazy, or you won't know how you died."
"Understood, cousin." Zhou Xiaohe continued to admit his mistake honestly.
"I just heard what you said, and it seems that I am quite dissatisfied with Princess Jinyang, so you take it back to me. The honor of the princess is not comparable to that of you and me. You must not take your little daughter The result is that you will lose your life before you start." Wei Wanshu felt that her cousin's signs were too wrong, so she warned her repeatedly that she was living in her own house, and if she was stupid, she would be in trouble. The entire Zheng Guogong's mansion was destroyed.
"Okay, okay, I sincerely apologize to my cousin, and give myself a good elm head." After Zhou Xiaohe finished speaking, she really hit her head hard with her fist to show her sincerity.
Only then did Wei Wanshu's expression loosen, "Fortunately, you understand, otherwise I will ask my father to send you back to Jinzhou tomorrow."
"Okay, I know I was wrong." Zhou Xiaohe grabbed Wei Wanshu's arm and said with a smile, "From now on, my cousin will do whatever she says, and I will obey her. But don't let me go back, Chang'an City is so fun, I haven't visited enough yet Woolen cloth."
"Didn't you say to visit your good sister earlier, why did you come back suddenly, just because you ran into the princess halfway?"
Zhou Xiaohe nodded, expressing that he was not in the mood to go.
"It's just in time to come back. Yuan Yue just heard some news, and I was hesitating whether to tell you or not." Wei Wanshu said.
Zhou Xiaohe hurriedly asked what was the matter.
Wei Wanshu looked at Zhou Xiaohe sympathetically: "There are some rumors about Fang Shizi outside, and I don't know if it's true or not. Don't be sad when you hear it."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Xiaohe asked anxiously.
"Say he is as good as Long Yang." Wei Wanshu said bluntly.
"Ah? This is impossible!"
"It was rumored that it was a coincidence that someone just overheard the private conversation between Yuchi Baoqi and Fang Shizi." Wei Wanshu said with some embarrassment. As a daughter who has not left the cabinet, she felt that she said these words a little out of proportion, "After all, I just fell in love with the young gentleman of a certain family. The ranking is very low. He must be very young. To put it in a harsh way, it is-child molestation."
Zhou Xiaohe's face turned pale, "Mo, child mole? He? How could..."
"It's no wonder." Wei Wanshu thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"No wonder what?" Zhou Xiaohe asked in confusion.
"It's no wonder that he had the chance to become the Lord, but he boldly rejected the saint. It's no wonder that his younger brother is married, and he is seventeen years old, but he still hasn't announced a marriage. It turns out that the truth is because of this." Wei Wanshu said.
Zhou Xiaohe's face turned completely pale, "Really?"
"What's true? The word has already been spread like this, plus what happened before, what do you think?"
"Ah——" Zhou Xiaohe sat down listlessly, put her hands on the table listlessly, leaned her face against her arms, and her eyes showed infinite sorrow and disappointment.
……
Liang Guogong's mansion.
When Mrs. Lu heard some rumors outside, she was as anxious as the ants on the hot pot, and immediately asked someone to bring the eldest son back.I didn't want to send a group of people there, but they didn't come back.Lu Shi was in a hurry, so he sent the third son, Fang Yi, to go in person.
"If you don't bring me back, you don't want to come back either. I'll pretend I never had a son!"
Fang Yi felt that he was very innocent and felt that his mother was a bit too partial. "Brother is your son, so am I, and I didn't make a mistake."
"Would you like to go?"
"Let's go, let's go." Fang Yi shouted reluctantly, and then politely saluted Lu Shi and said goodbye.
An hour later, Fang Yizhi returned home under Fang Yize's leadership.Coincidentally, Yuchi Baoqi also followed,
After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Lu's patience was already exhausted. Seeing that the two people in question had come, she became even more angry, and immediately asked them what was going on.
"The younger generation unfortunately heard this rumor today," Yuchi Baoqi hastily apologized to Lu Shi, "it was a joke between the younger generation and Yizhi brother, who would have thought that there would be villains listening to the wall. The younger generation has already found out who is blind It's passed on, so I'll arrest him now, give me a good warning, and ask him to quickly clarify the name of brother Yizhi."
Seeing Yuchi Baoqi's attitude of admitting his mistake was good, Lu nodded, indicating that he must do what he says.
"No need." Fang Yi said straight.
A word stirred up a thousand waves.
Several people looked at Fang Yizhi in amazement at the same time.
Fang Yizhi's face was still pale, "It's good that way."
"Very-good?" Fang Yi was so surprised that he changed his tone, "Brother, are you sick, have a fever, or have you been beaten and disabled?"
"Bah! Can't you say something nice?" Lu stared at Fang Yizhi, and then asked Fang Yizhi in a gentle tone, what did he mean by that.
Fang Yizhi: "Aniang just doesn't need to find a reason to refuse those who intend to propose marriage."
"Compared with your reputation, I'd rather find a reason." Lu pondered for a while, "But this will offend some people less."
"A Niang actually thinks about it again, that's the reputation of the big brother!" Fang Yi said in surprise.
Yuchi Baoqi didn't think it was a big deal to join in the fun, and nodded in agreement with Fang Yizhi's idea, it would be better if his reputation was a bit dirty, so as to save himself the pressure of standing side by side with him in the future.
"There won't be any major incidents. After a few days, the rumors will pass, and it will be nothing. Don't worry, A Niang." Fang Yi said straight.
"But who is this nineteenth man, and why does Bao Qi say that you like him? Just tell me clearly, which family's young man is this?" Lu pursued.
Yuchi Baoqi looked at Fang Yizhi, and saw that he didn't refuse, so she coughed, took a few steps forward, and told Lu in a low voice, "Actually, this nineteenth man is from the Taiji Palace."
Tai Chi Palace?
Lu Shi didn't react at first, and then realized that Princess Jinyang happened to be No.19 among the saint's princesses.
Fang Yi couldn't hear clearly with his ears pricked up, and moved to Lu Shi and Yuchi Baoqi to join in, but they finished talking.
"Whose family is it?" Fang Yi asked in confusion.
Lu Shi glared at him, "It's none of your business, go and study."
"Aniang, but you told me to call my elder brother to come back, and I obviously participated in it, but now you are driving me away, isn't it a bit—"
"Go." Shi Lu pointed to the door.
Fang Yi pursed his lips, nodded and went obediently.
Only Fang Yizhi and Yuchi Baoqi were left in the house.
Sitting at the top, Mrs. Lu looked at the two children silently, and then asked Yuchi Baoqi: "My boss really likes Princess Jinyang?"
"Mother." Fang Yi said straight.
Lu stretched out his hand, signaling Fang Yi to stop talking, and then smiled and asked Yuchi Baoqi to sit down, so that he could answer his own question.
"I like it, I think I definitely like it." Yuchi Baoqi replied cheerfully, and after receiving Fang Yizhi's and sharp gazes, Yuchi Baoqi immediately added in fear, "But brother Yizhi has always refused to admit it."
Lu's eyebrows and eyes were smiling like flowers just now, but when he heard Yuchi Baoqi's next words, his serious eyes immediately shot to Fang Yizhi.
Fang Yizhi said helplessly, "Mother doesn't need to worry about this matter."
"Can I not worry about it? You are the eldest son of the Fang family, and you have more burdens than your brothers."
"I just understand."
"Admit it if you understand it?" Lu raised his eyebrows and asked the guide.
"Aniang, it's not enough to recognize her, as long as the princess is fine." Fang Yi replied warmly.
"What do you mean by 'Princess is good'? You brought her home, provided for her well, and protected her, then she will definitely be fine." Lu spread his hands, looking at the room in puzzlement, " There is nothing unrecognizable, and there are no outsiders at the moment."
After hearing Lu Shi's words, Fang Yi was slightly taken aback, looking at her thoughtfully.
The moment Lu Shi met his son's gaze, his heart trembled, "My son, you really don't have any other thoughts, do you?"
Fang Yi was silent.
Yuchi Baoqi was also surprised, scratched her head, and muttered introspectively: "Then this time, I am really talking nonsense, and I have caused trouble by spreading rumors."
Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly apologized to Lu Shi first, then apologized to Fang Yizhi, and then promised to explain clearly the rumors outside.
"Don't worry about it, if I have an opinion, you can't wait until now to apologize." Fang Yi said bluntly, and then bowed to Lu Shi, "I made my mother worry about it, and I will pay attention to it in the future."
Lu snorted, and waved her hands in disappointment, feeling as if she had suddenly lost a lot of inexplicable things that made her very heartbroken.
Yuchi Baoqi and Fang Yizhi were sent out together.
"What should we do now?" Yuchi Baoqi asked Fang Yizhi puzzled.
"Where should I go, I have something to do." Fang Yi patted Yuchi Baoqi directly, telling him not to mind Lu Shi's temper, "A Niang is always like that, come and go quickly."
"I like her temper. It's a pity that my mother left early. I really envy you."
"Make this home your home." Fang Yi said bluntly, and said goodbye to Yuchi Baoqi.
Yuchi Baoqi looked at Fang Yizhi's back in a daze, and suddenly called him: "I really misunderstood before that, you really didn't treat the princess..."
Fang Yi turned his head sideways, "The previous one was indeed a misunderstanding."
Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a while, then suddenly he laughed a little silly, he hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked Fang Yizhi.
Fang Yizhi didn't know what kind of madness he was, because there was something outside and he couldn't do anything, so he was eager to leave, so he waved his hand and let him do whatever he wanted.
Fang Yi went straight, but Yuchi Baoqi's heart fluttered, and he happily clenched his left hand and punched his right.
The entourage, Duofu, had never seen his own Erlang so happy, so he hurriedly asked why.
"Let's go, let's go to Fengyue Tower."
"Erlang, are you going to meet that confidante Miao Feifei again?" Duofu asked helplessly.
"No, go and break up with them." Yuchi Baoqi suddenly looked serious, with determination in his eyes.
