Chapter 39
A few days later, Yu Zhongxing was going to take Yu Xuan and Yu Nian to the wedding banquet.
This is the great nephew's grand wedding of Prime Minister Gao, an important official of the imperial court. Many colleagues in the imperial court, royal relatives and nobles were invited.
Yu Zhenxin's father-in-law and Yu Xuan's grandfather were once the groom's master, so even though Yu's family had no relationship with Prime Minister Gao, the Prime Minister's Mansion made such a big show, so they were invited as a show of hospitality.
Yu Zhenhua saw that Yu Xuan was wearing the clothes that He Jian lightly made for him all day long, which was really an eyesore, so he ordered someone to come and make a few new ones for Yu Xuan and Yu Nian, and Yu Nian was amazed by the rare generosity.
The clothes were ready soon, and the day of the wedding banquet came. The father and son, wearing new clothes, hurried to the Gao family's mansion in a carriage.
The wedding banquet was held at Prime Minister Gao's house, and I don't know how this nephew got Prime Minister Gao's attention and received such great help.
Yu Xuan didn't care to listen to Yu restarting and Yu Nian talking about the rules, his heart jumped, knowing that he would see He Jianqing later, so his face was full of joy.
His demeanor also misunderstood Yu Zhongxing and reminded him of something very important.
"Xuan'er will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, maybe eighteen." Yu Zhenxin sighed, "I didn't expect you to be this old."
Hearing what his father said, Yu Xuan still wondered if he was going to be eighteen, so soon?Eighteen, isn't it—
However, before he could think too much, he only heard Yu Zhongxing say: "Father also has to quickly find a wife for you, first look at the family, choose one, save time, and choose one that is not satisfactory. Girl, let you dissatisfied."
Yu Xuan's face turned pale immediately: "Father, I, I'm still young."
"It's not too young," Yu Zhongxin pointed out, "Look at today's groom, he got married at the age of [-]. He waited for a few years before getting married, and some of them got married at the age of three or four. Yes, it's getting late!"
Yu Xuan lowered his head and stopped talking.
Yu Nian understood the meaning, and seeing that Yu Xuan was unhappy, he interrupted and said, "Father, why don't you choose one for me, I want to get married too."
Yu Zhenxing hit him again: "Why are you joining in the fun? If you read your book carefully, Dad will be relieved!"
While speaking, the carriage came to the Gao Mansion.
When Yu Xuan saw the prime minister's mansion, he had to sigh, even He Jianqing's Huiyuanhou mansion was not half as big and as beautiful as the prime minister's mansion.
Cars and horses came in an endless stream, and they all stopped at the side gate. Prime Minister Gao personally greeted the guests at the gate of the mansion, and did his best.
It was the first time for Yu Yu to see this Prime Minister Gao. He was over fifty years old and still in good spirits, with a flushed face and a radiant look. I was really amazed to see him.
The disappearance of Yu Xuan was known to almost all the noble households in the capital at that time, and it was only because he went out to play with the youngest son of Huiyuanhou's family that he got lost, so the matter spread throughout the capital.
This time Yu Zhongxing brought him to the banquet, and there were people pointing and pointing along the way, not saying anything, just wanting to see what the child who has been missing for ten years looks like now.
Even Prime Minister Gao took a second look at him when he saw him, and said "fortunately, fortunately" to Yu Zhongxin, which made Yu Zhongxin terrified and flattered.
Yu Xuan saw those curious eyes cast towards him along the way, at first he was a little uneasy, but fortunately Yu Nian kept talking in his ear, saying some gossip news about these people from his companions, Yu Xuan His attention was distracted, and he became a little more stable.
Most of Yu Nian's companions are children from wealthy families, Yu Xuan couldn't help sighing, children really shouldn't be underestimated, they are all smart, adults can't say that they will lose to them someday.
In this way, the family of three went to the hall for the male guests. There were many people there, divided into groups of twos and threes, chatting or gossiping, and it was very lively.
When Yu Zhongxing saw several high-ranking figures, he naturally wanted to go up to greet them, so he told their brothers not to run far away, and then passed.
All the way, Yu Xuan was focused on when he would see He Jianqing. Since entering the mansion, he had been looking around, but he hadn't seen He Jianqing for a long time.
Instead, he met Liezhihou Wanyi whom he had seen in the side hall of the Prince's East Palace.
The other party also spotted him immediately, greeted his companions, and walked towards them.
Yu Xuan couldn't hide even if he wanted to. He had only met this person once, but he didn't expect that the other person would recognize him. As soon as he came in front of them, Wan Yi said familiarly:
"Young master of the Yu family, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"
Wan Yi was so enthusiastic, Yu Xuan didn't want to be too indifferent, so he nodded: "Thank you, it's okay."
Wan Yi looked at Yu Nian again, and said in surprise: "This young man looks so strange, I don't know which family he is from, he looks so juicy?"
Yu Nian secretly rolled his eyes, and was about to speak when Yu Xuan pulled him away.
Yu Xuan replied: "This is my younger brother, this is—" Ah, he forgot.
Wan Yu was also not angry, and said to himself: "It's okay, it's okay, it turned out to be Master Yu's son, as expected—by the way, why didn't Young Master come with you? Huh?" He winked meaningfully and ambiguously at Yu Xuan.
Yu Xuan blushed and thought, did I write on my face that I wanted to see He Jianqing?How did this man find out?
How did he know that Wan Yi just heard a lot of gossip, and when He Jianqing found him and took him back to the capital, he was very imaginative.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Nian could tell that although this man was dressed richly, he didn't know what he was pretending to be in his head, so he said strangely, "Brother, let's go over there." Yu Nian didn't know Wan Yi As for his identity, he took one look at him and dragged Yu Xuan away.
Yu Xuan was relieved to be away from Wan Yi, but what he didn't expect was that he bumped into another acquaintance.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Yu Nian hurriedly apologized to the other party.
As soon as Yu Xuan raised his head, he realized that the one Yu Nian bumped into was Lord Gao, that Lord Gao Sanjiang who ordered people to arrest him and bring him to General Zhaoyuan in southern Xinjiang, saying that he was a spy of Feng Guo.
At that time, Yu Xuan heard He Cheng teach him to recognize each one, and knew that Mr. Gao was a relative of Prime Minister Gao, so it is not surprising that he is here today.
Gao Sanjiang seemed to know him, squinted his eyes for a long time, pointed him with his finger, and said to him with a calm face: "Little spy, you have come here?!" Obviously, for Yu Xuan's identity, Gao Sanjiang was still full of doubts.
"I've met Mr. Gao." Yu Xuan saluted him.
Yu Nian followed suit and bent over, looking curiously.
Gao Sanjiang flicked his sleeves, and said aggressively: "Little spy, how did you get in? He Jianqing brought you here? Where did he get the courage to bring you here? Do you know where this is?"
When Yu Xuan heard this, he wondered how he had forgotten. He Jianqing had already told them about his identity, and General Zhaoyuan didn't care about it. Why did he still hold on to him, and he was a little spy every time? It's really unpleasant. .
Yu Nian saw that this person had a high status, so he was so angry that he didn't dare to offend this person because of his father's low status in the court.
"Lord Gao, I'm not a spy, my surname is Yu, and I'm from Yue!"
Gao Sanjiang snorted coldly: "Don't think that you speak the Yue language, you just think you are from the Yue country, I see, you—" He wanted to babble, but suddenly saw a person from a distance, and stopped.
Yu Xuanzheng was wondering why he suddenly stopped talking, turned his head and looked over, and was delighted to find that Prime Minister Gao actually came over with He Jianqing.
Seeing Prime Minister Gao and the others, Gao Sanjiang only gave him a hard look, then passed the two brothers and went to meet them.
Yu Xuan met He Jianqing's eyes, and He Jianqing blinked at him comfortingly, then went to talk to Prime Minister Gao, and when Gao Sanjiang joined, the three of them walked in another direction.
"Oh, this person is really annoying," Yu Nian said angrily, "Why do you talk like that, he is still a high-ranking official."
Yu Xuan smiled and said nothing, and sat with Yu Nian under a tree without moving, waiting for He Jianqing to come to him after exchanging greetings.
After a while, He Jianqing really came. When Yu Nian saw him, he winked at Yu Xuan and ran away.
He Jian sat lightly beside Yu Xuan, leaned against him gently, and kept his eyes on his faint smile.
"What happened just now, frowning?"
Yu Xuan shook his head, not wanting to say more: "Sit back, in case my father finds out—"
Instead of staying away, He Jianqing took his hand by the sleeve of his robe.
Yu Xuan couldn't help blushing, and lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Let's go." He Jian stood up lightly, and pulled Yu Xuan up easily.
"Where are you going?" Yu Xuan followed, and found that He Jianqing had taken him to a small building next door to the water. There was no one there, and it was a little far away from the place where the guests stayed. Come, you can also get a clean.
When he arrived at Xiaozhu, He Jianqing didn't hide any more, and directly embraced his shoulders, half-embracing him in his arms.
"One day is like three autumns. This is the truth that will never change." He Jian said with a light smile.
Yu Xuan laughed when he heard him speak.
He Jian touched his cheek lightly and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"You're used to talking." Yu Xuan pursed her lips, her heart was bubbling with joy, leaning against He Jianqing, listening to his heartbeat, he felt at ease.
"Why, am I telling lies?"
"Really, I think so too, but no one would say it." Yu Xuan expressed hastily.
"Well, why don't you come here tonight and I'll teach you something." He Jian pointed out lightly.
Yu Xuan didn't understand, and was about to ask, when he suddenly heard Yu Nian's voice, he subconsciously became nervous, pushed He Jianqing away, turned his head to see, and sure enough, Yu Nian came running out of breath, his face full of panic.
He Jianqing looked helplessly at the sky above his hands, sighed long, and backed away.
When Yu Nian came over, there was no sign of him: "Father is coming over—hey, where is he?"
Yu Xuan also searched and found that He Jianqing had hidden somewhere.
"Let's go." Yu restarted thinking too much, it's better to hurry to a crowded place, so Yu Xuan took Yu Nian and walked to the place where he came just now.
Unexpectedly, after walking for a long time, he bumped into someone again.
"Sorry, you're all right—are you?"
Yu Xuan was taken aback for a while, and found that he bumped into a girl.
Chapter [-]
Yu Xuan and Yu Nian were talking, turned sideways without noticing it, and bumped into a shoulder with a person, only heard "Yeah", he turned his head immediately, and was stunned.
It was a girl who collided with him, wearing a pink palace dress, very well-dressed, with a delicate face, and she didn't panic too much about this sudden situation.
On the other hand, the servant girl next to the girl seemed to be very angry, she stepped forward and asked, "How did you walk? Didn't you even look at it?"
Yu Xuan hastily confessed his guilt. He had never been blamed like this before, and he was terrified for a while.
Yu Nian is not someone who is easy to be bullied, he stepped forward and said: "Girl, what you said was wrong, we were still walking, but we bumped into you by chance, so we don't need to talk like that?"
Yu Xuan tugged at him, signaling him not to argue with others.
The girl also glanced at the servant girl, and the servant girl immediately retreated with her head down.
The girl looked calm, neither angry nor hated, and said to Yu Xuan decently: "It's just a misunderstanding, please don't take offense."
Yu Xuan hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no."
The girl was about to leave when she suddenly saw a person walking in front of her. Yu Xuan noticed that her eyes were shining like stars. Looking sideways, she found that the girl was looking at He Jianqing who was pretending to be passing by.
He Jianqing didn't deliberately look over, but just walked another way, but the girl ignored Yu Xuan and the others, turned around, and walked briskly towards He Jian.
Yu Xuan stayed where she was, staring blankly at the girl stepping forward to stop He Jianqing, He Jianqing saluted the girl, and the two stood and chatted for a while.
Yu Xuan could see the faint admiration on the girl's face, and she understood it all at once.
He Jianqing was obviously familiar with the girl, and he advanced and retreated politely, leading the girl deliberately to a place with more people, but distanced himself from those people.
Obviously that girl fell in love with He Jianqing, Yu Xuan couldn't help feeling strange emotions in her heart.
Fortunately, He Jianqing probably wanted to avoid suspicion, so he didn't say a few words, and seemed to leave, and he didn't look over at Yu Xuan during the period.
And the girl stood there, staring at the direction He Jianqing left for a long time. When she looked back, her expression was obviously dim and she was slightly lost.
The girl met Yu Xuan's gaze, but raised her head again, regained her indifferent appearance, and walked away without looking back.
Yu Xuan stayed here for a long time, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart. He was glad that He Jianqing didn't stay for long, and seemed to disappoint the girl.He felt sad again, some things, the one that didn't go his way, no one knew if it would be his turn.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Zhongxing's voice suddenly sounded behind Yu Xuan.
He was startled suddenly, and turned around trying to cover up, his back was sweating from nervousness: "Father!"
what to do?Did his father notice He Jianqing just now?When did his father stand behind them?Did you see something?
Yu Xuan was terrified, but Yu Zhongxing didn't seem to realize it, and led them to the banquet: "Why did you come here? The banquet is about to start, don't run around."
"Understood, dad." Yu Nian replied.
Yu Xuan was absent-minded during a wedding banquet, and because Yu Nian wanted to watch the drama, she could only stay with her.Yu restarted a table chat with a few colleagues, drank some wine, and probably won't be back until a while later.
He wasn't interested in listening to what the play was about, so he told Yu Nian and went to sit in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The garden was much larger than the Prince's East Palace, and there were no people around. He found a corner of a rockery, staring at a cluster of unknown flowers blooming in front of him in a daze.
Suddenly, a small stone bounced and landed in front of him, Yu Xuan was startled, and when he turned around, He Jian looked over with a light smile.
Yu Xuan laughed, and the two of them didn't approach each other. They were in their original places, looking at each other, and neither of them looked away. In the intertwined eyes, they seemed to understand what was in each other's eyes.
It wasn't long before a figure interrupted the entanglement.
Yu Xuan hurriedly turned sideways, trying to pretend to be looking at the flowers, but unexpectedly found that the person was the girl he bumped into earlier.
The girl was standing in front of He Jianqing, and Yu Xuan heard He Jianqing call her "Princess Xuanyi".
It turned out to be the princess, Yu Xuan thought, why is the princess so bold, she came to look for He Jianqing at this time, and he wanted to walk away, but his legs didn't move, so he had to turn his body, trying not to let the princess find out that he was stealing. listen.
Only Princess Xuanyi said: "Why are you hiding here, are you afraid that I will pester you?"
He Jian hurriedly said: "Princess was joking, I just drank some wine to wake up - should the princess go back to the palace?"
Princess Xuanyi didn't listen to He Jianqing's words, but said: "I know, you look down on me, but I still don't give up, I want to see you more, but you don't want to come to the palace, so I have no choice but to shy He sent it to the door with a face."
Hearing this, Yu Xuan felt that the princess was really daring to say such a thing. He didn't understand the princess's temperament, so He Jianqing must have known it.
"What did the princess say, it's just that it's cold and cold in the night, it's not a place to talk, the princess might as well go back to the palace first—"
Before He Jian could finish speaking lightly, Princess Xuanyi interrupted her. She said angrily: "I won't go back! If I don't hear a word from you today, I won't leave without saying anything!"
"Since the princess asks the minister to say a word, the minister will do as His Highness wishes."
"Say it!" Princess Xuanyi said anxiously.
He Jian glanced at Yu Xuan lightly, and said clearly and clearly: "I have a crush on someone, and the other party is also connected with me."
"Wh-no, it's impossible!" Princess Xuanyi retorted, "You lied to deceive me, didn't you? Is it because you don't like me, that's why you-"
"Princess!" He Jian frowned lightly, "Princess wants to say something to the minister, and the minister has already said it. The princess please go ahead, and the minister has something else to do. Please leave."
After He Jianqing finished speaking, he stepped forward, rushed up, grabbed Yu Xuan who was about to get up and leave, and was about to take him away.
Yu Xuan struggled subconsciously, but He Jianqing didn't let go: "Did you hear everything?"
Yu Xuan had no choice but to nod, and was about to speak when she heard footsteps behind her, and Princess Xuanyi chased after her at some point, which surprised Yu Xuan greatly.
He Jianqing sighed, and the two had no choice but to turn around and face Princess Xuanyi, who was bold and ignorant of reserve.
Yu Xuan didn't dare to look up at the princess, not knowing her expression at the moment.
Princess Xuanyi's heart was sour, and she said bitterly: "What do you mean?"
He Jian chuckled lightly and said: "I have an appointment with him to talk about something, it is really inconvenient today, please forgive me, princess."
Princess Xuanyi glanced at Yu Xuan: "He? Who is he?"
After hearing this, Yu Xuan hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Cao Min Yu Xuan pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Yu Xuan?" Princess Xuanyi muttered a few words, seeming to think of something, "Oh, so it's you—"
He Jianqing didn't wait for her to speak, raised his hand, and pulled Yu Xuan to stand up: "Princess, I will leave." He said and left.
Yu Xuan turned her head and saw several maids and guards appearing beside the princess at some point, among them, the maid who reprimanded her when the two sides bumped into each other supported her, turned and left.
Yu Xuan seemed to be able to catch a glimpse of the tears that Princess Xuanyi shed when she turned around.
He Jianqing led him to a corner where no one was around, pushed him to the corner, approached him with his head bowed, and looked into his eyes carefully.
Yu Xuan was so scared by him, he stretched out his hand and pushed: "What are you doing?"
He Jian smiled lightly, and said, "It's nothing, I'm a little sad to see that you're not angry."
When Yu Xuan heard it, he didn't understand, "What's so sad about you?"
"You heard what I just said, don't you want to beat me at all?"
"Why did you hit you?" Yu Xuan asked inexplicably.
He Jian said lightly: "I didn't tell you about this, it's my fault."
"What's the matter?" Yu Xuan really didn't quite understand what he said, "You can finish it all at once, I don't understand."
He Jian patted his forehead with a light smile, and explained: "I only met the princess once in the uterus, and I don't know why she has her eyes on me. I rarely enter the palace, and I don't know that she thinks too much about it." That's why there was a scene just now. You have to understand that it's not my fault."
Yu Xuan only likes him, and doesn't know much about men and women, so He Jian said lightly, but he is still ignorant, only understands that Princess Xuanyi's infatuation and wrong payment, the appearance just now, obviously, it is because of the drunkenness or the night, Abandoning the reservedness of a girl's family, one has to understand.
To be honest, Yu Xuan admired her a little bit, not to mention her princess status, there are so many men in the world to choose from, but He Jianqing is his favorite.
It must be very sad to be rejected by He Jianqing now.
"I know, it's okay, I didn't take it to heart."
"Oh? Didn't take it to heart? What is it that is on your heart?"
"...What are you talking about." Yu Xuan blushed, who knew he could say such a thing, and changed the subject, "Go back, my father should look for me."
He Jianqing pulled him over, hugged him tightly again, and said: "Don't worry, your father is chatting excitedly at this moment, and he will forget to go home. If I abduct you today, he probably won't pay attention." arrive."
After hearing this, Yu Xuan slapped him: "Nonsense."
Naturally, He Jianqing was just joking with him: "I really want to abduct you, are you willing?"
Yu Xuan said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to, I—" He was about to speak when his mouth was suddenly gagged.
Yu Xuan still can't face this kind of contact very calmly, his heart is always beating wildly, his cheeks are flushed, and he is running around with steam.
Fortunately, He Jianqing quickly let go and pushed him back, turned around and shouted: "Who?! Come out!"
Yu Xuan froze from fright, and hid behind He Jianqing, and then, one person came out with a smile on his face.
"Young Master, it's easy to find."
It turned out to be Mr. Gao Sanjiang. I don't know if he watched it for a long time or just passed by by chance. Yu Xuan didn't dare to think about it. He was very anxious, so He Jianqing pushed him away and watched him walk in the direction of Mr. Gao. past.
"Master Gao, what do you want me for?"
"Young Lord," Gao Sanjiang said, "how long have we not seen each other since we parted ways in Nanjiang, and this is a good time, how about going to catch up on the old days?"
"Okay... Please, Mr. Gao."
"Please, my lord."
Yu Xuan hid in the darkness, watching the two walk away side by side, He Jianqing left a hand behind his back for him, asking him to wait for a while.
Mr. Gao's sudden appearance really scared Yu Xuan almost out of his wits.
He didn't know if Mr. Gao saw it, but he was always worried that something might happen.
Yu Xuan worried for a few days but didn't notice anything unusual, and was about to forget about it, but someone handed him a post asking him to attend the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet in the mansion.
