Yang Jinyao giggled and said, "You don't know me even after you say that. But I'd better tell you, don't tell others!"

"Um."

"His name is Du Yan."

"…!" The name seemed like a stone suddenly thrown from behind, hitting the back of my head with a bang, dazzling me. I stared at her with wide eyes: "What did you say!?"

When Yang Jinyao saw me like this, she was also stunned: "Why, do you know him?"

"Say it again, what's his name?"

"Du, Du Yan."

“…”

I gasped.

When Yang Jinyao saw me like this, she also understood, with an incredible expression on her face: "No, do you really know him?"

I nodded.

Du Yan, Du Yan!

This name is definitely not unfamiliar. Although he had said a few words to me, this person was deeply engraved in my mind. But what I really didn't expect was that he would hear his name from Yang Jinyao's mouth.

I suppressed my heartbeat and said, "The people in the palace, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard, are they right?"

Yang Jinyao nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

This time, she was also shocked: "I really know each other!"

I was also a little surprised.

Speaking of which, the capital is really small. Whenever I talk about a person, I almost have a close connection with these people. But I can't accept it. Especially when I think of Du Yan's ice-like face, I don't say a few words to anyone, but I actually become "brothers" with this straightforward Miss Yang. It really fits the old saying--After living for a long time, I can see anything!

Yang Jinyao looked back at me, her face full of incredible expressions: "Sister Yan, how could you know him?"

I felt relieved and smiled: "You forgot, where did I escape from."

She will immediately feel sorry for it.

I escaped from the palace from the emperor, and Du Yan is a member of the Imperial Guard. Of course, she might have had an association with me, but she would not have thought that this time Du Yan also followed Wu Yanqiu to Xichuan, and was even injured in Yangzhou to protect the emperor.

However, I suddenly remembered what Yang Jinyao said just now - "He is almost getting married, so he will not be my sweetheart."

Du Yan, are you getting married?!

I still vaguely remember that when Du Yan was in Shu, when he spoke to me the words "I want to marry her" with the handsome face as ice, his perseverance on his face and his determination in his eyes. He was in order to make meritorious and let the queen be able to marry Shui Xiu smoothly, so he followed Wu Yanqiu to a dangerous place like Xichuan. Later, when he was guarding the emperor, he was eager to make meritorious and was seriously injured!

Now, Yang Jinyao told me that he was about to get married, could he say-

At this moment, outside the yard, there was a sound of footsteps passing through a wall. Someone should have been walking by in line. When Yang Jinyao heard this, her face changed a little and she whispered: "Oh no, they are about to change shifts. It will be too late for me not to go back. Sister Yan, I'll go back first. When my parents and the others let me out, I'll come to find you again!"

After saying that, she rushed out without waiting for me to say anything.

Although this girl, although a famous lady, was like a weasel, she moved quickly and neatly. With a whoosh, she crawled into the night and couldn't even see her shadow in the blink of an eye.

I stood at the door, still a little stunned, but when I saw it was pitch black outside, a team of guards passed by the yard gate and saw me standing at the door open. I came over to ask carefully. I hurriedly said perfunctoryly and closed the door.

Outside, it slowly became quiet.

But my heart cannot calm down.

The news brought by Yang Jinyao is not a shocking news, but it has caused quite a stir in my heart.

When I blew out the candles on the table and fell on the soft bed, familiar faces kept flashing in front of me - the naughty and loyal Shui Xiu, the cold Du Yan, and Xiao Fuzi's contradictory and unclear eyes that were spoken by thousands of words all appeared in front of me so clearly.

Du Yan is getting married. Is the one he wants to marry really Shui Xiu?

So, what about Shui Xiu? Is she really willing? Xiao Fuzi, how did he treat all this?

I slowly fell asleep in a complicated and contradictory thoughts. When I woke up from the heavy dream, it was already dawn outside.

The capital is different from Jiangnan. The festivals are short and the nights are long in autumn and winter, and the sky becomes brighter, so it is not too late. I hurriedly got up, and Caiwei came to serve. Fortunately, I came here just to be a guest, do nothing, and I don’t delay anything when I get up late, just a little embarrassed. After a while, the servant delivered the considered sumptuous breakfast to my house.

Caiwei and I had a simple meal and drink, and then—were done nothing again.

Fortunately, something was done soon.

After breakfast, Mrs. Yuerong came to my room.

I once heard Yang Jinqiao say that after her mother died, she was ostracized and bullied by several other wives in the family, and this Mrs. Yuerong was indispensable, so I didn’t have much affection for her. However, as soon as she entered the door, she was particularly enthusiastic, smiled and said with great attentiveness: "Miss Yan, I slept well last night."

I smiled faintly: "TOEFL, I slept well."

"Is there any shortage? Do the servants still have to use it? If they are disobedient, Miss Yan tells me that I will ask someone to hit them."

"No. Mrs. Yuerong is so polite."

"Then, didn't the little girl bother Miss Yan last night?"

“…”

I was slightly stunned. Seeing her smiling look, I understood.

Yang Jinyao came and went freely in the mansion, without leaving any trace. It seems that this lady is not as simple as I imagined. She is not completely disgraceful about some things in the mansion.

However, I didn't point it out, just smiled and said, "Where, where."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "That's good," she said, and she walked to the table with me and sat down, and said with a smile: "Miss Yan doesn't know, my daughter has been so stubborn and willful since she was a child, and she doesn't know who she has followed her temper. Fortunately, the master is very fond of her. If it's time to change to someone else, I'll have broken a few tendons on her legs."

I smiled and didn't say anything.

However, I couldn't help but think of Yan Qingchen, who could only spend the second half of his life in a wheelchair.

"This girl has a stubborn temper and refuses to listen to anyone's words, but I never expected that Miss Yan would convince her with just one word. It's really a matter of our parents!"

I was stunned for a moment: "She—"

"She finally stopped making trouble and promised not to sneak out."

"Then, did she promise that marriage?"

"This is not yet. But as long as she doesn't make trouble, things will be much easier."

"oh……"

"Miss Yan, you don't know. This marriage has been considered for more than a year. It's because she always makes trouble like this. We parents are also blind. If we continue to make trouble like this, I'm afraid it's hard to explain the Queen. Now that Miss Yan convinced her, she really helped us a lot!"

I smiled and said, "Madam Yuerong, don't be polite."

She smiled and waved her hand: "You're welcome, you're welcome."

I asked with a smile, "Then, what are Lord Yang and Mrs. Yuerong going to do next?"

"As long as she doesn't make a fuss, this matter will be much easier. Even the master was relieved, saying that things could be slowed down, and then make some arrangements after his 60th birthday." As she said that, she sighed again: "Now these girls are all confused. It's not like ours back then. Not all the major marriages are the orders of their parents, and the words of the matchmakers are so true that she can decide on her own."

I didn't say anything, just smiled.

Mrs. Yuerong also laughed: "Oh, look at me, Miss Yan, don't bother me."

"What is Mrs. Yuerong saying?"

She said, looked out again, and said, "Oh, it's getting late, I'm leaving."

I looked at her: "Mrs. Yuerong has something to do?"

"Yes," she said with a smile: "Wu Yanqiu was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, but it was a big event. I heard that many people in the court went to congratulate him. The master has not moved. Today, it is time to go over and make some sense."

"Oh, this is a serious matter."

"Yes, let alone this girl's affairs, I should have come and informed me sooner or later."

I smiled and said, "I wonder what Mr. Wu is about this marriage?"

Mrs. Yuerong looked at me, and her eyes seemed a little confused. It seemed that she was just caring about her daughter's constant emotions, but she never thought about what kind of attitude the possible future son-in-law would have towards this marriage.

Seeing that she couldn't speak, I hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll just say it, ma'am, don't mind."

She smiled embarrassedly, said a few more polite words to me, and then turned around and left.

Then, I started to do nothing in the room. Fortunately, Yang Wanyun had told the servants that when several maids saw that I was bored, they gave me some jokes and jokes in the city. Originally, I couldn't say anything, so I thanked me, and then took a copy and leaned against the window to look.

After a while, it was time for lunch.

There was still a table of delicacies in the mountains and seas. The Yang Mansion was really not wronged at this point at all. As soon as I sat down, I heard footsteps outside, and it happened to stop at our door. As soon as I looked up, the door was pushed open with a slam. Yang Jinyao stood at the door with a door frame: "Sister Yan."

"Jin Yao? Why are you here again?"

"I'll come here to have dinner with you."

Her face was red, as if she had just run a while, but she didn't breathe. I didn't ask much, and saw her walking in and sitting down, so I handed Caiwei a color. Caiwei hurriedly served her a bowl of soup and carefully presented it to her.

Yang Jinyao took the bowl and drank half of it.

This girl is really not like a famous lady. Not only is she straightforward, she doesn't have so many rules and regulations for famous ladies. She always has a natural freshness that makes people unable to help getting close to her.

I looked at her with a smile, and waited for her to drink half a bowl of soup, as if she was quenching her thirst, and wiped her mouth and put down the bowl. Then I asked, "What's wrong with you? Where did you go?"

"Yeah." She nodded and looked back. There was no one inside and outside the house. Only Caiwei stood beside me. I smiled and said, "Caiwei is my girl, it's okay."

Yang Jinyao nodded and said to me: "I saw that Wu Yanqiu."

"Um?"

My eyes widened: "Where did you see it?"

"My parents and aunt went to congratulate him on Gaosheng, and I went to see it secretly."

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak: "You actually ran out and went to see him secretly?!"

"Yes. Didn't you say, let me figure out who he is?"

"Then you go?"

"Yes! But don't worry, I didn't let them find out that I stole a set of clothes left by my second brother at home and went as a man."

"ha?"

"But it's so dangerous. I saw them in another room. They were all about to leave, but when he went downstairs, he happened to come out, bumped into me, and knocked my hat off."

"Then he, did he recognize you?"

"No, of course not. He has never seen me. Besides, I ran faster than a rabbit, and ran away with a whoosh!"

After hearing what she said, I was so amazed and laughed: "You are really."

"Hey, it's too slow for someone to ask for something. Besides, you said that I may not like others who think it's good. I still have to go and see the person I want to marry."

"That's right, but you're too-"

Too bold.

After all, I was a famous lady. She actually dressed up as a man and secretly ran to meet a man who had an engagement with me. I recalled the jokes I had just read, which contained the scenes of these young ladies and scholars having private meetings in the garden. Unexpectedly, Yang Jinyao actually made this happen.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "No one noticed it anyway." She was careless and didn't care at all. After saying that, she couldn't help laughing again, and then said, "It's a good thing I finally knew who I was going out this time."

I took a deep breath, finally swallowed the shock I had just now, and said, "Then, what do you think when you see him?"

Yang Jinyao didn't speak immediately, just blinking Shui Lingling's big eyes, as if she was thinking about it.

I didn't ask, just looked at her.

It feels like she doesn't seem to have anger or resistance when she sees Wu Yanqiu. At least for now, she is still calm.

After waiting for her to think about it for a while, she finally spoke, but with a deliberate expression of disgust, she said, "He, isn't he very good-looking!"

I couldn't help laughing.

When it comes to appearance, Wu Yanqiu is indeed not a very outstanding handsome man, but his demeanor is not comparable to ordinary handsome men.

So, I smiled and said, "If a man wants to rely on his face, wouldn't he be inferior?"

She listened, but did not refute, and just nodded slightly.

"Since we've met, what do you think of others? Apart from the appearance."

"Yeah—" She held her cheek with one hand, thought for a while, and for some reason, her face turned red: "He, the sound of his speech is quite nice."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." She nodded, not paying attention to my smile-like expression, but continued to fall into memories and said intermittently: "Also, he seems to be quite strong."

"How do you know?"

"When I collided with him, I almost fell downstairs. He grabbed me with one hand, uh, and grabbed me."

I took a closer look at her slightly red auricle. I thought the scene at that time should not be as simple as "holding". The little girl's eyes were already bright, and at this moment it was even more flashing, as if the starlight was melting in.

The smile in my eyes became deeper.

After a while, she seemed to have woken up from a dream. When she looked up and looked at my smiling eyes, she immediately understood what was coming. Her face suddenly turned red with a sound of blushing, but she was unwilling to accept her and shouted in a low voice: "Why are you laughing at?"

"I didn't laugh."

"Nonsense, you're just laughing!"

"Oh, then I'm going to have my smile on your part?"

She was so choked by me that she couldn't speak, so she could only glar at me. Her ears were red, but she couldn't help but smiled as if holding her face.

Just as we were talking and laughing, and I was even more amusing, there was another sound of footsteps outside.

A shadow appeared at the door and covered us.

Yang Jinyao and I turned our heads at the same time, but we saw Mrs. Yuerong standing at the door, looking at us with a serious face.

I was stunned for a moment and didn't react. Yang Jinyao quickly stood up: "Mom? Why are you--"

"Jin Yao goes back to her room!"

Before she could say anything, she heard Mrs. Yuerong say in a deep voice.

Both of us were frozen there.

Her mood seemed not very happy.

Didn’t they go to celebrate Wu Yanqiu’s success today? It should be a very pleasant thing. Why do they look like she is angry and come back?

Could it be that something happened to them after Yang Jinyao left?

I looked at her with confusion, but Yang Jinyao was still a little confused and said softly: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Mom asked you to go back to your room immediately!"

Mrs. Yuerong sighed harder. Two maids walked out from behind her, with a serious expression. She walked to Yang Jinyao: "Miss, please go back to the room."

Yang Jinyao looked at her mother, looked back at me, and finally had to walk out obediently. When she reached the door, she also looked at her mother, but Mrs. Yuerong seemed to feel nothing, but the corners of her eyes turned slightly red, with a hint of anger. Yang Jinyao pouted, turned around and walked out dejectedly.

When she left, I saw that Mrs. Yuerong suddenly collapsed as if she had been pulled away by someone and almost fell down. Fortunately, Caiwei was quick-eyed and quickly walked over to support her.

"lady!"

I also hurried over: "Madam Yuerong, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw tears flashing in her eyes.

My heart tightened.

Did something really happen to them today?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly helped her to sit at the table, asked Caiwei to pour her a cup of tea, and then asked carefully: "Madam, what happened? Did Miss Jinyao's marriage have been blocked?"

She looked up at me and said nothing, but the desperate but sad look had already explained it all.

My heart couldn't help but tighten.

Is it true?

However, the biggest obstacle for Yang Jinyao to marry Wu Yanqiu was that Yang Jinyao had been unwilling to obey her parents' orders before, but now it seems that she has a good impression of Wu Yanqiu, and this obstacle no longer exists. Moreover, this marriage is a marriage between the royal merchant Yang Wanyun and the empress family. Such a thing can be said to be a match made by heaven and a major event. Who else has the ability to hinder them?
