Meng Dong

The sky was dark, the rain was torrential, and the roar of thunder pierced the sky, disturbing people's dreams for no reason.

Yan Hong pushed open the window with sleepy eyes, and was immediately hit by the strong wind and rain, driving away his remaining drowsiness.

Outside the window is still groggy, making it impossible to tell the current time for a while.Yan Hong lowered his head and glanced at the instantly soaked front, raised his hand to wipe off the rainwater splashed on his face, and greeted outside: "Qingming!"

The closed door was opened from the outside, and a man who looked like a servant hurried in and said, "My lord, are you awake?" After saying that, he saw the rain on Yan Hong's body, and hurriedly took a cloth towel and stepped forward, " Why are you still wet in the room, the villain will change your clothes for you, you should be careful to catch a cold."

Yan Hong took the cloth towel in his hand, wiped his face twice, and said nonchalantly: "What time is it now, I woke up so early today?"

"It's getting late, it's past time." Qingming replied, while waiting for him to change his robes, "It's raining heavily outside, so it's gloomy today."

"It's time already?" Yan Hong yawned, raised his hand and tapped his forehead, "Looks like the aftertaste of drinking last night is quite strong, with the lightning and thunder outside, I've actually slept till now."

"That's not it." Qingming found a round-neck robe with narrow sleeves, "My lord, how would you like to wear this?"

Yan Hong glanced at it, nodded slightly, raised his arm and let Qingming play with it.

The gown was blue, with fine dark patterns embroidered on it, wearing it on Yan Hong's body, making him look more handsome and upright.But Qing Ming still couldn't help but slander her. Right now, all the princes and marquises and ordinary people in the Chu Kingdom like to wear wide-sleeved shirts for the sake of a sense of elegance and ease, but their own princes dislike the sleeves of the robes. I am cumbersome, and I like to wear this narrow-sleeved gown, which was modified from a Hu suit, and it looks out of place on the street.Fortunately, Jiangling City is far away from the capital, so naturally no one interferes with such trivial matters.

But... Qingming shook her head, according to her young master's unscrupulous nature, even under the eyes of the current Holy Majesty, he might still go his own way without any scruples.

As for the current Holy Majesty, as long as the Nanjun King's lineage stays in Jiangling City honestly and does not do anything that threatens him, he will not care what his own nephew has done to attract discussion.

Yan Hong freshened up, changed into dry clothes, and finally sobered up from the drunkenness last night.He looked at the bronze mirror and straightened his hair crown: "I remember my mother said a few days ago that she made an appointment to go to a Taoist temple outside the city to offer incense. With such a heavy wind and rain today, I'm afraid I can't go?"

"Although it is impossible to go, the old lady can't be free today. The person her old man invited came to the mansion early in the morning, and she is still drinking tea in the old lady's room. I'm afraid I will have lunch gone."

Yan Hong glanced outside, and wondered: "In this weather, I have to go to other people's house as a guest, which lady is the mother asking this time?"

"It is said that it is your distant aunt." Qingming looked at Yan Hong's face and said cautiously, "After all, she is a relative of the old lady, and it is not easy for a villain to inquire too carefully."

"Aunt Yuanfang?" Yan Hong smiled, "Your mother's relatives have come to the house quite a few times in the past few years. I have never met you before, so I have to go and see you today."

"Didn't you always dislike dealing with people like them?" Although Qingming was puzzled, she still turned to look for rain gear for him.He has been by Yan Hong's side since he was a child, and he knows his temper best, and he must do what he says.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do in today's heavy rain," Yan Hong took the bamboo hat from Qingming and put it on his head, "What's more, everyone has come to the mansion, so I, the head of the family, should go and have a look. "

The violent wind and rain were still outside, and the weather was gloomy, making it difficult for people to see the road under their feet. Although Yan Hong was wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, his robes were inevitably wet. In a hurry, before the robe was completely soaked, it finally arrived.

Yan Hong took off his wet coir raincoat in the porch, handed the bamboo hat to Qing Ming, and when he turned around, he heard voices coming from inside.He listened attentively, a slight smile appeared on his lips, he pushed back the servants who wanted to report, and walked in lightly.

The old lady Bai sat on the couch and drank tea slowly. A middle-aged woman sat on the chair below her. She lowered her head and carefully looked at the teacup in her hand. , You can’t find such fine things in Jiangling City anymore.”

The old lady Bai smiled lightly, but didn't answer, she glanced out of the window, turned her head and said with a smile: "The thunder just now shook the sky, and this daze, you see, I even forgot where we were talking. "

"That thunder is not terrifying!" The woman slowly put the empty teacup back on the table, touched her chest, with a smile on her face, "Didn't you just say, a few days ago When I was drinking with the matchmaker Wang in the city one day, I suddenly remembered that my nephew and crown have been around for several years, but there is no one to take care of me. Cooking. I know that depending on the status of the county prince's mansion, it is very difficult to find someone who is worthy of the status in Jiangling City, so I thought, otherwise I will help find a few smart and virtuous people to enter the mansion. Here, cousin, you should have someone to serve you, as for the serious marriage, we can study it slowly."

"Isn't the person in charge of the county palace sitting in front of my aunt?" The sudden male voice startled the woman, she turned her head and saw Yan Hong leaning against the door, her face was a little surprised, and soon After calming down again, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Bai: "This...is the King of Nanjun?"

The old lady Bai nodded, and looked at her son with a smile: "It's so stormy today, why do you want to come here?"

Yan Hong entered the room, found a chair at random and sat down: "I heard that my aunt is visiting the mansion. As a junior, of course I have to come and have a look."

The woman hurriedly waved her hands: "Your Majesty's words are really embarrassing. You are the king of Nanjun, the current nephew of the Holy Majesty. I don't know how many things you have to deal with. Don't delay because of me, an old woman."

Yan Hong smiled lightly: "Then aunt doesn't have to worry. If I delay business because of aunt, you and I won't meet for the first time after so many years."

The smile on the woman's face almost couldn't be maintained, she gritted her teeth and agreed, "It's natural, it's natural."

Yan Hong didn't look at her again, he turned his head and saw the teacup in Mrs. Bai's hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "This tea smells very fragrant, mother is not willing to ask someone to pour one for me?"

Old Madam Bai took a sip of the tea cup: "There are no teahouses and restaurants in Jiangling City that you haven't been to. What kind of good tea have you never drank? Come here and pretend to be good?"

The mother and son were talking to themselves, as if they didn't see the discomfort on the woman's face.The woman sat alone for a while, and finally couldn't hold back and said: "I just told the old lady that the prince is not young, but he doesn't even have a caring person around him, and he doesn't know what kind of person he likes." , it just so happens that we don't meet each other today, why don't you come and listen to me, I, as an aunt, can do my best to help."

Yan Hong raised his eyes, looked straight at the woman with a pair of dark eyes, and then laughed: "Since my aunt asked, I will not hide it. I have no great prospects for my nephew. I only like good-looking ones. If the personality can It would be better if it is quieter, I wonder if my aunt can find it?"

The woman rolled her eyes and laughed immediately: "What's the difficulty? Although Jiangling City is not as good as the capital city, there are still a few stunning beauties." When she said this, she clapped her hands, "Speaking of which, it is true. A suitable candidate. My husband's younger sister has a daughter who is twenty-eight years old. Although her family background is not worth mentioning, her beauty is indeed excellent. If the king of Nanjun thinks it is okay, I will ask for a portrait tomorrow. You and the old lady first Look."

"Daughter?" Yan Hong raised his eyebrows.

"Why, what?" The woman sensed Yan Hong's dissatisfaction, and immediately got a little nervous, and hurriedly asked.

Yan Hong stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "I guess it's because my aunt doesn't know, my Nanjun palace has been vacant for so many years, and I don't have any caring people around me. ...This My Fair Lady is nice, but it's not to my liking."

The woman was stunned: "What, what does this mean?"

The smile on Yan Hong's face became even brighter: "Nephew means, if my aunt knows a young man who is handsome, good-tempered, and doesn't think my palace is dull, I can help you take care of it, as long as my aunt finds him People, when the time comes, I will treat you kindly when you come to the mansion."

The woman couldn't believe her ears, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Bai, but the other party seemed to have never heard, drinking tea calmly, unaware of the absurd words her own son just said.

Yan Hong took her complexion into his eyes, curled his lips and said, "Looking at my aunt's complexion, I think it's hard to find, but yes, if it was easy to find, I wouldn't have been alone for so many years." He lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, then raised his eyes, "Then don't bother my aunt to worry about my affairs. If my aunt really can't see the coldness of our palace, she can take the trouble to look for my mother to see if there is any suitable candidate."

The woman realized that since Yan Hong entered the room, she could no longer speak a word properly, so she subconsciously asked, "Who is the candidate?"

Yan Hong lowered his eyes: "My mother has been widowed for many years, and she is really lonely. If the father and the old man knew about it, I probably couldn't bear it, so I have always wanted to choose another husband for my mother. It is worth being a companion, but I'm still young, so how can I do this, it just so happens that my aunt is here, and she can give me some advice."

The woman couldn't believe her ears, the people of Chu are civilized, and it is not uncommon for women to remarry, but what is the status of the husbands of those people, and what is the status of the husband of this old lady Bai.After all, this Nanjun king is a nobleman of the royal family. His father who died young was the younger brother of the current emperor. If his mother remarried, wouldn't it be a shame to the royal family?If it gets out at that time, others will not dare to think about Nanjun Wang. Her cousin who is [-] miles away may become the instigator.

It's really absurd for the king of Nanjun to force his widowed mother to remarry!

"Why, aunt isn't willing to help my nephew?" Yan Hong still had a smile on his lips, but his face was far less friendly than before.

The woman hesitated for a while, but she didn't dare to accept the errand anyway, so she looked up at Mrs. Bai, but she didn't get any response, so she could only hesitate and say: "This matter, this matter, I dare not accept it for a while, wait After returning home and thinking about it, then..."

"Then my nephew won't let you eat at the mansion today." As he said that, he got up and called out, "Qingming, let someone prepare the carriages and horses to take my aunt back to the mansion. It's windy and rainy outside. Be careful, send my aunt safely."

Before the woman could react, Qing Ming and a servant helped her down, and before she could even say a word to Old Madam Bai, they disappeared from sight.

Yan Hong returned his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, took a big sip, and sighed: "Mother, you really don't choose now, and you drink this kind of tea with relish."

The old lady Bai glanced at him, and threw the empty teacup into his arms: "You have grown up now, in order to prevent people from sending girls to you, you used your old mother as a cover, and I am not afraid of your old man." Talk to you in the middle of the night."

"This teacup was my father's favorite set at the time. Just now, my aunt hinted at it obliquely for a long time. Mom, you didn't hear it. Now you are willing to hit me with it." Yan Hong put the teacup back on the table, smiling. He replied, "Although it is a cover, it is also the truth. If you really want to remarry, mother, I will help arrange it immediately. If the father has any opinions, I will help you."

Mrs. Bai stretched out her hand and knocked on his head, then lazily leaned back on the couch, and yawned: "Okay, you also chased him away, so don't waver in front of my eyes, I got up early in the morning Greeting guests, I'm very tired now. You have nothing to do, go find a place to entertain yourself."
