Chapter 90: Are we going to talk about divorce again?
Yun Xiangye sighed and said, "Cousin Shi An is a rare good man among you cousins."
Gu Yan frowned slightly when he heard Yun Xiangye's words and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Yun Xiangye didn't want to bring up the past with Gu Yan, but she always remembered how he treated her when she first came to Chang'an.
Gu Yan ate the wontons that Nuonuo had left over and said with a hint of disdain, "This street stall is so dirty. I don't even know what kind of meat they use. Why don't they let the chef in the mansion make the wontons?"
Yun Xiangye was so angry that she said, "Yes, the street stalls are dirty, and I deliberately let your daughter eat dirty food!"
Gu Yan said helplessly: "I just said it casually, why are you angry? Are you a pufferfish?"
Yun Xiangye picked up Xiao Nuonuo, who didn't know what was going on, and turned away.
Gu Yan hurriedly tried to catch up, but was stopped by the vendor. "Sir, you are still wearing your official uniform. How can you say that my stall is dirty? Look, the meat here is all good meat bought at Caishikou early in the morning, and the dough is freshly rolled. How can you slander me like this?"
Gu Yan motioned to Qing Ming behind him to take out the silver, gave the vendor two taels of silver and said, "I was wrong, this is the silver to compensate you."
The peddler took the silver and let Gu Yan go.
Gu Yan hurriedly caught up with Yun Xiangye and said, "You really love to get angry. I just think that this kind of wonton stall that goes from street to street is not clean. I didn't say much. Why are you angry again?"
Yun Xiangye stopped and looked at Gu Yan and said, "I have been eating wontons from these street stalls since I was a child, and I never got sick from eating them. Nuonuo is my sweetheart, how could I possibly not feed her properly?"
Gu Yan said: "I was wrong."
Yun Xiangye said: "You are right, you are the high and mighty Prince of Ning, so you naturally look down on this kind of street vendor selling wontons.
But for me, when I was young, I always salivated when I heard the sound of wonton vendors in school. At that time, after the teacher finished school, we would go to the vendors to eat a bowl of steaming wontons. How could my daughter not eat the wontons that I ate when I was young? "
Gu Yan said, "Don't be so sarcastic all the time. We've finally had some peace for a few days, and you're going to bring up the word divorce again?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I didn't say that. If you think street stuff is dirty, I also came from the street, so you can think I'm dirty too."
Gu Yan took a deep breath and said, "I didn't mean that at all. You misunderstood me. Why are you so sensitive about your background? I've already said that I never looked down on your background."
Yun Xiangye gave the little Nuonuo in her arms to Gu Yan, and she went to the embroidery workshop with an angry look on her face.
Gu Yan took Xiao Nuonuo and stopped chasing after her. With Nuonuo around, he was not afraid that Yun Xiangye would go far away.
Xiao Nuonuo pouted and looked at Gu Yan and said, "Daddy is bad, Daddy is not good."
Gu Yan frowned slightly and said, "It's obviously because your mother is too prone to anger."
Xiao Nuonuo snorted softly: "Bad daddy."
Gu Yan carried little Nuonuo back to the Princess's Mansion first. Yun Xiangye didn't come back until dark. Gu Yan became a little anxious, but when he thought about it, Nuonuo was still in the mansion. It was impossible for Yun Xiangye to leave alone, right?
His knees were still aching from being forced to kneel for a night. Gu Yan didn’t dare to think that if Yun Xiangye ran away from Chang’an again, he would be punished more than just kneeling for a night.
Gu Yan rode his horse to the outside of the embroidery workshop. It was brightly lit inside and Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Yan hurriedly walked inside, and saw two maids coming to stop him, "Who are you? Our embroidery workshop has not yet opened, and this backyard is a restricted area and no one is allowed to enter."
Gu Yan said: "I am the husband of your boss."
The two maids took a look at Gu Yan's clothes and finally did not stop him.
Gu Yan went to the three-story courtyard inside the embroidery workshop. There were many embroidery tables placed in the main hall of the three-story courtyard.
Walking further inside, there is a small courtyard with lights on. There is a shadow of a person reflected on the window.
As soon as Gu Yan entered, he saw Yun Xiangye embroidering purple peonies inside. The peonies she embroidered were extremely graceful and luxurious.
Gu Yan frowned and said, "It's just one sentence. I've apologized. Do you really have to stay away from home?"
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes, looked at the dark sky outside and said, "Is it so late already? I thought it was still early."
Gu Yan walked to Yun Xiangye's side, snatched the clothes from her hands and said, "You can open an embroidery workshop, but you can't be so busy that you don't care about the time. Do you still need your eyes to embroider clothes by lighting a lamp?"
Yun Xiangye took back the clothes and asked, "Did Nuonuo look for me?"
Gu Yan said: "No."
Yun Xiangye continued embroidering the clothes, "That's fine, this one is almost done, it will only take another hour."
Gu Yan frowned slightly and said, "I'll embroider it tomorrow."
Yun Xiangye said slowly, "February 19th is the opening day of the embroidery workshop. I have to embroider several more clothes before the opening. Moreover, this dress is embroidered for Fu Qianran. She will enter the palace soon. Except for the Flower Festival, she will not go out again. I want to finish the embroidery before the Flower Festival."
Gu Yan said: "There is still a lot of time before the Flower Festival, let's embroider it tomorrow."
Yun Xiangye glanced at the sky outside and said, "Nuonuo is almost asleep now, and I have nothing to do, so I just have to finish embroidering this one."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's wrist and said, "It's time to go back. It's getting late and there's a curfew."
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan and said, "You go back first. If there is a curfew, I will sleep here. Luckily, I specially asked someone to install a room here."
Gu Yan looked at the room here. The furnishings inside were all what Yun Xiangye liked. He took a deep breath and said, "Are you still thinking about leaving the princess's mansion for a divorce? Yun Xiangye, although my family has many red letters and iron certificates, they are not given to everyone. If you are determined to divorce, you can forget about this red letter and iron certificate."
Yun Xiangye clenched her hands under the embroidery table and chuckled, "Who wants to divorce? I just think this place is quiet. Sometimes I come here to embroider clothes with the embroiderers, and it's a place to rest."
Considering the red seal of trust, Yun Xiangye could only be nice to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan sat down next to Yun Xiangye. He couldn't persuade Yun Xiangye not to do anything, so he stayed beside her and asked, "You said during the day that you studied in the school?"
Yun Xiangye found it funny and asked, "Why do you think I have never studied in school?"
Gu Yan said: "You have studied in the academy, you should have learned the Women's Instructions, Women's Training, and Women's Rules. I guess when you were in the academy, you only thought about eating wontons..."
Yun Xiangye pouted, "I was serious when I was studying, so I wasn't so greedy. It's just that our female teacher didn't teach us these feudal dregs. She taught us that women should also strive for self-improvement."
Gu Yan thought about the four words "feudal dregs". He seemed to have heard his grandmother mention these four words often. "Is your husband's surname Li?"
Yun Xiangye's hand paused as she was embroidering the flowers, "How did you know that?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Only my grandmother would think that training and admonishing women is feudal dregs."
Yun Xiangye raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you saying that Ms. Linlang is your grandmother? How is that possible? Shouldn't your grandmother be the Empress Dowager? How could she be teaching in a small town in Jiangnan?"
