Chapter 440: The Book Has Its Own Beauty
On the other side, there was a small inn in the capital.
An elegant young man in a crescent-shaped white gown was sitting under the lamp, holding a book, writing and drawing seriously.
Suddenly, a figure flashed outside the window, followed by a slight sound.
A man in black holding a sword suddenly appeared in the room.
The young man who was reading under the lamp seemed unaware and continued to sit still and read the book.
The man in black knelt on one knee and said, "Master, it's done."
The young man in the crescent-shaped white gown then raised his head. He had delicate eyebrows and fair skin, and exuded the fragrance of books that had been soaked in books for a long time.
It was Fang Xian, the youngest son of Fang Chengbing, the magistrate of Ping'an Town.
Fang Xian looked up at the man in black and asked, "What did she say?"
The man in black replied, "She will be waiting for you at the small teahouse next to the Fangxian Embroidery Building at 11:00 PM tomorrow."
"Well," Fang Xian nodded, "You haven't revealed your identity, have you?"
He wanted to give Yunhua a surprise.
"No," the man in black replied readily. "I found a suitable opportunity and told my master what he had instructed me to do. Miss Yun is indeed very smart. She understood everything I said and even set a time with me."
"That's good." Fang Xian breathed a sigh of relief and waved away the man in black.
After a long separation, he wanted to leave a good and deep impression on Yunhua, but he had never done such a thing in his life of more than ten years, so he didn't know how to make an appointment with the woman he liked.
What to do? Read books, of course. Books are the golden house and the beautiful woman.
So Fang Xian adjusted the wick to make the candlelight brighter, and then buried his head in the book again.
In fact, if he could distract himself and think about it for a moment, he would find that Yunhua had made an appointment in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, which was obviously a problem.
But at this moment he was so absorbed in the beautiful scene of their long-awaited reunion that he did not notice it.
…
When Yun Ran woke up the next day, it was already noon.
Dan Qiao and Qing Chan Hou were outside. They heard some noise inside and came in to serve.
Yun Ran rubbed his eyes and sat on the bed, looking at the familiar furnishings in the room. He thought he had returned to the Yun family in Feishui Village, Ping'an Town, but the two little maids standing in front of him looked unfamiliar.
"Princess, do you want to wash up first or get dressed first?" asked Dan Qiao, who was wearing a cinnabar skirt.
After hearing what she said, Yun Ran came to her senses and realized that she was at Brother Xiaojing's house.
"I... can do it myself, you guys go out and wait for me."
The two maids responded and retreated.
Yun Ran put on her clothes, tied her hair into a bun neatly, and pinned a flower in her hair. Finally, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth with the hot water that Dan Qiao brought. After she was ready, she walked out of the room.
Seeing her come out, Danqiao asked hurriedly, "Are you hungry, Princess? I'll bring you breakfast."
Yun Ran shook his head: "I haven't married yet, you don't have to call me that."
Qing Chan covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "It doesn't make any difference. The prince has already chosen the princess."
Hearing her say this, Yun Ran remembered what happened last night. Brother Xiao Jing carried her into the mansion, and Manager Zhang called them Prince and Princess.
However, this was her first time in the palace, so how did Steward Zhang recognize her? How did he know that she was the princess?
After a slight hesitation, she expressed her doubts.
Unexpectedly, Danqiao and Qingchan were stunned at first, and then they covered their mouths and chuckled.
He laughed twice, then realized he had overstepped his bounds and quickly stopped laughing.
Qing Chan said: "Actually, the prince once said something to us servants."
"What?" Yun Ran was also very curious.
What did Brother Xiaojing say to these servants so that they would recognize me as his princess as soon as they saw me?
"The prince said, ahem..." Qing Chan pretended to clear his throat and said, "From now on, if my princess wants to enter this gate, I will carry her in my arms. My arms are only for my princess."
Qing Chan learned it very well, and Dan Qiao also agreed with him. The two of them talked back and forth, and Yun Ran's cheeks turned red again.
But she rubbed her face and shook her head: "I don't believe it!"
Brother Xiaojing would never say such corny words. This is not at all like something Brother Xiaojing would say!
Danqiao brought her breakfast and helped her with the porridge while saying, "Actually, I heard this from Steward Zhang. If the princess doesn't believe it, she can go ask Steward Zhang."
Yun Ran would never ask. Even if she did, she would ask Brother Xiao Jing. How could she ask Manager Zhang?
After breakfast, Yun Ran went to Ye Jingzhen’s Wangbaoxuan. Qingchan said that the prince had gone to the palace and would not be back for a while.
Yun Ran sat in the Xiaoya Hall on the first floor of Wangbaoxuan and waited. Danqiao and Qingchan accompanied her to play chess and look at bonsai.
Fortunately, Ye Jingzhen came back before long.
He was wearing a heavy cloak, and when he pushed the door open, a gust of cold air came in.
After taking off the cloak and handing it to Manager Zhang, Ye Jingzhen walked up to Yun Ran, rubbed his hands, and then covered Yun Ran's warm cheeks.
"Ah! Ice!"
Yun Ran was so cold by his big hands that she almost jumped up from her chair and rolled her eyes at him.
Ye Jingzhen raised the corners of his lips slightly and sat down opposite her: "Have you had breakfast?"
Yun Ran nodded: "I have used it."
"So, Ranran is waiting for me here?"
Yun Ran nodded again: "Wait for you to come back so that you can take me back."
The faint smile on Ye Jingzhen's lips froze for a moment: "It seems that Ranran doesn't like my palace."
"No," Yun Ran noticed that he seemed a little unhappy, and quickly said, "Today is the first day of the new year. The servants of Shanhai Tower have all gone home. I have to go back and look after them."
"I'll ask Manager Zhang to send someone over." Ye Jingzhen said.
"But tomorrow I have to go visit my grandparents with my parents and brother." Yun Ran felt a little embarrassed.
"What about the day after tomorrow?" Ye Jingzhen asked.
Yun Ran frowned: "The day after tomorrow... the day after tomorrow we should go back to Feishui Village with everyone to spend the New Year with Grandma and the others."
Seeing her tangled look, Ye Jingzhen reached out and pinched her cheek: "I won't tease you anymore. I'll take you back later."
But Yun Ran was serious. She thought for a moment and asked, "Speaking of which, Brother Xiao Jing, do you want to go back with me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to see Grandpa, Grandfather, and Grandma?"
Ye Jingzhen: ...
"This time when we go back to Feishui Village, we'll stay until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month," Yun Ran blinked. "If Brother Xiaojing doesn't go, you won't be able to see me for several days."
"puff……"
Ye Jingzhen chuckled: "Okay, I'll accompany you."
It just so happened that he also wanted to go back and take a look. After all, that place was the place that carried his happy childhood memories, and he missed it quite a lot.
Now that it was settled, Ye Jingzhen asked Dan Qiao to bring Yun Ran a thick rabbit fur cloak.
After putting the cloak on Yun Ran, Ye Jingzhen picked her up again.
There are still many servants here!
Yun Ran's face flushed slightly. He punched Ye Jingzhen's shoulder with his fist and insisted, "It's daytime now. I can see the road!"
