Chapter 149: Childhood sweethearts, a good marriage
Yun Xiangye saw Gu Yan staring at her, frowned slightly and said, "Gu Yushi, we have already divorced. It is really inappropriate for you to look at me like this."
Gu Yan snorted, "What kind of precious thing is Miss Yun's face? Can't you see it?"
Yun Xiangye took a deep breath.
Gu Yan felt a little relieved when he saw Yun Xiangye finally stopped smiling. He whispered to the little Nuonuo in his arms, "Do you miss daddy?"
Xiao Nuonuo hugged Gu Yan tightly and said, "I miss Daddy."
Gu Yan stroked her soft little face and said, "These past few days, the entire court has been busy with the Crown Prince's wedding. After the Crown Prince's wedding, Daddy will take you riding on his day off, okay?"
Xiao Nuonuo kept nodding his head.
Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "Nuonuo is only two years old, why should she ride a horse?"
Gu Yan said: "My Gu family's daughter should have been able to ride a horse since she was young."
Yun Xiangye said: "Nuonuo's surname is Yun."
Gu Yan said: "The surname Yun is also the daughter of the Gu family."
Yun Xiangye didn't want to quarrel with Gu Yan in front of her daughter at this moment, and looking at the look of little Nuonuo, she was also looking forward to going horseback riding.
Yun Xiangye said, "If you want to take Nuonuo with you to ride a horse, I have to go with you. I don't feel comfortable with Nuonuo riding a horse."
Gu Yan smiled faintly and said, "Okay."
Gu Yan put Nuonuo on the ground, pinched her little face and said, "Daddy has some official business to attend to, so I'll leave first. I'll take you riding when Your Highness has a day off after the wedding."
Nuonuo nodded her little head, looking very happy.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye deeply, and seeing that she didn't even want to look at him, he had no choice but to leave.
After Gu Yan left, Yun Xiangye also held Nuonuo's little hand and went back to the embroidery workshop.
When passing by a bookstore, Yun Xiangye remembered that her cousin Ye Li had entered Wanliu Academy, so she should go to the bookstore to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone for Ye Li.
Yun Xiangye entered the bookstore and saw Fu Qianran who was picking books.
Fu Qianran smiled when she saw Yun Xiangye coming in, "Sister Yun, what a coincidence."
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Nuonuo, call me Aunt Fu."
She called me aunt in a sweet voice.
Fu Qianran smiled at Nuonuo and said, "Be good."
Yun Xiangye saw that the books in Fu Qianran's hands were all Emperor's Chronicles, Zizhilun, etc., and chuckled and said, "These books are read by scholars who want to take the imperial examinations. Miss Fu also wants to take the imperial examinations?"
The dynasty was not so strict as to prevent women from taking the imperial examinations.
But in this world, even if there were no strict rules prohibiting women from taking the imperial examinations, no woman would take the initiative to do so.
During the three to nine days of the imperial examination, the woman had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the Imperial Examination Hall. It would be fine if she did not have her menstrual period, but if she did, she would definitely not be able to bear it.
Fu Qianran smiled and said, "It's not that I want to take the imperial examination. These are the books that Miss Wei wants to read. She said that the teacher taught her these things in the past, but only briefly taught her. She came to Chang'an before she finished learning, so she wants to study again now and asked me to teach her to read these books."
Yun Xiangye remembered that Mr. Li had indeed taught them these books, but Yun Xiangye was most interested in the arithmetic taught by Mr. Li. She didn't remember much about these books on political strategies, imperial examinations and officialdom after listening to them.
Fu Qianran said: "In fact, I am not very familiar with these political books. I can only buy some books and take them home to learn them first, and then go to teach Miss Wei."
Fu Qianran went to Mr. Tao's Villa yesterday and learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted him to teach Ye Wanhe himself. She was a little surprised, but since it was His Royal Highness's order, Fu Qianran could only obey.
Yun Xiangye asked, "Is Miss Wei okay?"
Fu Qianran nodded and said, "She is doing well now."
Yun Xiangye was relieved now. After divorcing Gu Yan, the most inconvenient thing was that she could no longer enter the palace to see Sister He.
Yun Xiangye bought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and returned to the embroidery workshop with Nuonuo.
The embroidery workshop was doing good business. After Yun Xiangye coaxed Nuonuo to sleep, she went to embroider clothes with the other embroiderers.
The embroiderers were in the embroidery room, embroidering clothes and talking about things in Chang'an City. When they saw Yun Xiangye coming, they all fell silent.
Yun Xiangye walked in and chuckled, "You don't have to worry about me, just relax. As long as your clothes are not wrong, there is nothing wrong with talking."
A thin embroiderer named Xiujuan said, "Boss... I heard that Mrs. Lin has been going to the Princess's residence every day these days. It's rumored that Lin Bolan, the daughter of Lin Xiang, is going to be engaged to the Prince of Ning."
Yun Xiangye kept sewing and saying, "Childhood sweethearts, this is a good marriage."
Several embroiderers looked at Yun Xiangye and saw that her expression did not seem fake.
Another embroiderer whispered, "Boss, it has only been a short time since you and Prince Ning divorced, and Prince Ning is about to get engaged to Miss Lin. Aren't you hurt..."
Seeing that the embroiderer was hesitant to speak, Yun Xiangye laughed and said, "I have divorced him, so naturally, marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other. Why should I be sad about this?"
Yun Xiangye laughed again and said, "If Gu Yan is lucky enough to marry Lin Bolan, it will be a blessing for Nuonuo."
Lin Bolan is the daughter of the prime minister. She is well-mannered and sensible. Except for the fact that she was blindly attracted to Gu Yan, she is a very good person.
If Lin Bolan could become Nuonuo's stepmother, Yun Xiangye wouldn't have to worry about her stepmother bullying Nuonuo.
It’s a pity that Lin Bolan is such a good girl.
Yun Xiangye remembered what Gu Yan had just said about her precious face and couldn't help but frown.
One of the embroiderers quickly changed the subject and said, "I heard that Princess Xiwan and Young Master Wei Qian of the Wei family have been engaged."
Yun Xiangye was surprised when she heard this. It turned out that Wei Qian and Princess Xiwan were engaged?
The Wei family is also the maternal family of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How can the eldest son of the Wei family marry Princess Xiwan?
This clearly shows that the emperor no longer wants to use the Wei family.
Yun Xiangye was a little confused. The Wei family was obviously the Crown Prince's maternal family, so logically, he should pay more attention to the Wei family.
However, Yun Xiangye himself couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.
The embroiderers discussed:
"Doesn't that mean there will be several happy events in Chang'an this month?"
"Yes, many noble families are going to have big weddings this month, so the ready-made clothes in the embroidery workshop are selling very well these days."
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days. I will give each of you an extra three taels of silver at the end of this month."
When the embroiderers heard this, they thanked him happily one after another.
--
In Tao Gong's villa.
Ye Wanhe took the books Fu Qianran bought and said with a faint smile, "Thank you, Miss Fu."
Fu Qianran said: "Please don't embarrass me. It is my honor to be able to answer your questions."
Ye Wanhe smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite to me. I may have to respectfully address you as Mr. in the future."
Fu Qianran said, "I am unworthy of this."
Ye Wanhe was flipping through books and asking Fu Qianran to teach her some of the obscure ones. In fact, she had seen these books before when she was tidying up Zhao Yun's desk in the East Palace. It was a pity that she was not allowed to follow Zhao Yun when he was studying at that time, otherwise she would not have needed Fu Qianran to teach her.
Fu Qianran heard the sound of people outside paying respects to the Crown Prince and hurriedly stood up.
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "That's all for today, you can go back now."
"yes."
Fu Qianran saw the bright yellow figure coming in from the door, bowed her head and saluted, then walked out.
Zhao Yun walked over to Ye Wanhe, looked at the book she was reading, flipped through it and said, "Why are you reading these books? These books are not meant for women to read, especially not for women in the harem."
