Chapter 221 Ancient Literature (Twenty-four)
【Task 1 completed.】
Chu Yun couldn't help but be happy. Every time he opened his eyes, he would hear such good news.
"Hahahaha... I am the man favored by fate!"
001 looked at Chu Yun, who was laughing like a middle school student with his hands on his hips on the couch. It was also very happy. Chu Yun became more and more lively.
【Does your butt hurt anymore?】
After hearing this, Chu Yun felt a dull pain and he immediately lay back down. He felt much better after Duan Fuqing applied medicine to him yesterday. He remembered the process of applying the medicine and buried his face in the quilt and refused to come out.
The rich young men and women in the capital also need to socialize, and Duan Fuqing also wants him to interact with more people so that he doesn't have to count small fish at home when he is bored.
The Khitan monarch had not left yet, so he was ordered to stay with him and had no time.
"Fourth sister, I'm leaving my Xiaoyun to you today. He's a little shy, so please take care of him."
"Don't worry! I will take good care of my sister-in-law!"
Chu Yun looked at the lively girl in front of him patting her chest, then turned to look at Duan Fuqing.
Duan Fuqing noticed the gazes of the people around him, and he shook Chu Yun's hand.
"I asked you during dinner if you wanted to go out and play, did you forget?"
He did say that, but he only said he was going out to play, he didn't say it was with the fourth girl.
"I remember. When will you be back?"
Duan Fuqing smiled, feeling warm in his heart. Chu Yun was still too clingy to him.
"It might be late today because there's a banquet at the palace, but I'll try to come back early."
With such a clingy and lovely wife at home, he was unwilling to stay out for too long. Thinking about it, he and Chu Yun only had time to spend together in the morning and evening. Duan Fuqing didn't want Chu Yun to always wait for him pitifully at home.
Maybe once everything settled down, he could resign and the two of them could travel around the world...
"That's such a shame. It's too late to buy Shunde Zhai's new snow pear cakes..."
Duan Fuqing: ...
Duan Yulan was born to the third concubine and has a twin sister. Minister Duan has one wife and three concubines.
Duan Yulan often heard laughter and chatter in the bamboo courtyard, and the voice of this "book boy" was the clearest and most pleasant.
She knew that her third brother hated noise the most, and even her little green (a parrot) was not liked, but this book boy could do whatever he wanted in Tingzhuyuan.
Moreover, the book boy was protected by the third brother like the apple of his eye. People in the mansion rarely saw him, and even she had only seen him from a distance.
This is not a servant, she is more like a daughter-in-law.
Unexpectedly, her words came true and she really became a daughter-in-law. His father was furious and his mother asked him to please his future sister-in-law.
The most promising one in the mansion is the third brother. The eldest brother born to the second concubine was transferred to serve as a county official, and the second brother born to the first lady has nothing to do all day long. According to my mother, he has kept a girl from a brothel as his concubine.
Only the third brother can gain a foothold in the capital.
Think about this.
Duan Yulan looked at the person next to her who was more dazzling than the sun. Maybe she was really shy, so her future sister-in-law kept her eyes down and didn't like to talk.
Her eyelashes are long, thick and curled, her eyes are pure black, and they appear a faint amber when exposed to light. Her lip color is also very beautiful. If lip balm of this color were sold in Beijing, the owner would probably have made a fortune.
Duan Yulan is still an underage child after all. She always has pity for beautiful and weak people. With this appearance, she is more than qualified to be a concubine. It is a pity that she is not paired with the third brother.
"Sister-in-law...I'll call you Brother Yun. Brother Yun, your clothes are so beautiful."
It's impossible for no one to remain silent all the way, that would be too embarrassing. Duan Yulan knew that Chu Yun didn't understand, so he started talking on his own.
"We've been invited to the Zhao family's flower viewing banquet today. I don't know what's fun there, it's just eating and drinking."
"Ah, actually I don't really want to go. If my mom hadn't pulled my ear and insisted I participate more, I wouldn't have gone... Last time, it was a poetry competition, and I didn't even get laughed at..."
These flower-viewing and poetry-writing banquets were mostly hosted by noble ladies in the capital, to match up men and women who were attracted to each other and to find a good match.
Duan Yulan is about to reach the age of marriage, and the third aunt is very anxious. If the third lady had not gone to her grandfather's house in the south, she would have come to the party with her.
Chu Yun didn't understand the little girl's troubles, so he touched her head to comfort her.
"Woo woo—Brother Yun, you're so nice. If I had met you earlier, I would definitely marry you!"
Duan Yulan is a face-control freak, but she has someone she likes in her heart, the man in black clothes next to the third brother. One day, she happened to see him talking to the third brother, and just showing his pair of green eyes made Duan Yulan scream and jump high.
But no matter how she asked her third brother, he didn't say a word. She felt that since she made Brother Yun happy this time, her third brother would have to help her.
Zhao Tianling of the Zhao Mansion is the second daughter of the Minister of Personnel. Her hobby is to host banquets, and she invites everyone from princes and princesses to children of fifth- and sixth-rank officials.
But those who are getting married will not be invited, and those with a bad reputation will not be invited either.
The control is still quite strict.
The rockery in the Zhao Mansion's garden is the most beautiful, with many precious and bright flowers in full bloom. When Chu Yun and the others arrived, there were already many young men and women playing there.
There weren’t many people this time, but there were plenty of handsome men and beautiful women.
“It’s very kind to my eyes.”
001 has been following Chuyun for a long time and has come to understand human aesthetics. He gave a pertinent answer:
[It's okay.]
This is already a very high evaluation. 001 is very picky and kept complaining about Fulai the first time it saw it.
They were divided into two groups, the girls enjoyed the flowers, and the boys played pot-shooting and archery.
As a future daughter-in-law, Chu Yun can join the girls' camp. They are all a group of very nice and young girls. They exclaimed in surprise after seeing Chu Yun.
Zhao Tianling is even more obsessed with looks than Duan Yulan. She stepped forward and opened her mouth:
"My dear, what's the difference between this skin and a child's? Good brother, teach me how to take care of it?"
Chu Yun just smiled, and Duan Yulan stepped forward.
"Brother Yun is not from Beijing, so he can't understand what we are saying."
Even though Chu Yun couldn't speak, a group of noble ladies still came forward to ask questions. The little girls gathered together to talk about skin care topics.
Duan Yulan helped answer them one by one.
"Wash your face with clean water, Brother Yun doesn't need anything else."
"Oil it? I don't know about that. I shouldn't."
"Clothes? My third brother designed them for Brother Yun. The brocade silk was a gift from His Majesty."
"Yes, Brother Yun doesn't wear powder. I've never seen him buy any."
Everyone knows that she is naturally beautiful.
It wasn't just the women who were shocked. The young men were also looking over here from across the small bridge, their mouths wide open.
"...Is he the servant of the Third Young Master whose appearance was previously publicized?"
"That should be it... Seeing is believing..."
"He...he is so pretty and cute. I like him."
"Damn it! I scolded him before because of those poems..."
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. They had no idea this person was so handsome! They thought someone was deliberately going against Master Su!
"I heard his name is Xiaoyun... Who do you think is prettier, him or Young Master Su?"
Everyone looked at the person who spoke with an expression as if to say, "Are you blind?"
