Chapter 264 Beauty is a Trouble
On the other side, after the night banquet in Yong'an Palace ended, Yun Chen waited for Huo Gannian for a long time but he did not show up. As a military general, she could not stay in the palace for a long time without any business, so she had to leave the palace first and plan to return to Huo Mansion to wait for Huo Gannian.
After leaving the palace and walking halfway, she remembered how Yun Wang had been avoiding her at the banquet.
She felt that she should avoid suspicion with Huo Gannian, so she simply changed her route and headed towards her own Major General's Mansion.
She had just returned to Beijing for one day and had not yet been to the Major General's Mansion. She did not have the land deed given to her by the palace with her, so she had no way to find the address.
She wandered around the streets for a long time but couldn't find the mansion, so she stopped the night watchman to ask for directions:
"Excuse me, sir, how do I get to the Major General's Mansion?"
"Who are you? What are you doing in the Major General's residence so late at night?"
"I'm a major general, I want to go back home and sleep."
“…”
Muttering "something's wrong", the night watchman pointed in a direction and walked away suspiciously, looking back every few steps.
Yun Chen followed the directions and found the mansion. He saw a brand new plaque with the words "Major General Yun's Mansion" hanging on the main gate. It was obvious that the words were written by Huo Gannian.
She jumped over the wall and into the gate, leaving a black footprint on the brand new white wall, and landed in the yard.
Looking up, you can see flying eaves and roofs everywhere, and the decoration is simple and elegant, yet majestic.
In the front yard, there was a black rock screen carved with a blue ox and auspicious clouds, and eighteen kinds of weapons were hung on the high wall of the central hall. Her favorite military style was everywhere.
In the hall, gifts were piled up like a mountain, all to congratulate her on the completion of her new house.
Boxes and cases of all sizes were wrapped in red silk and hung with name tags with the address and name of the gift giver written on them.
She opened a package, which was a set of soft silver armor sent from the Earl of Song Lu's Mansion.
It looks very valuable, but it is something that only people who have never been to the battlefield can come up with. SoftBank's thing can't even withstand a dog's bite, let alone a sword's attack.
She opened another package and found a pair of Ruyi mandarin duck plum green bottles sent by Li Shangshu's mansion. She squinted at the bottle mouths and saw that they were just right for playing pitching pots.
She opened a few more packages, all of which looked very expensive. She went to look at the name tags alone, found the package sent by Yun Wang, and couldn't wait to open it.
When she was a child, she lived in the Yun Mansion. Because of her estrangement from the Bai family, she did not spend much time with Yun Wang.
I only remember that he always followed her happily, wanting to sneak out of the house with her to learn how to swim.
She refused to take him with her and even threw pebbles at him.
He stood there pitifully, watching her walk away.
When she came back after playing enough, she found that the whole family was having dinner in the front living room.
She walked to the table with her neck hunched and sat down. Her face and arms were covered with a layer of fine white salt particles that had been dried by duckweed.
Yun Zhongjun noticed her and was about to get angry, but Yun Wang subtly stretched out two fingers, placed them on the basin of pearl jade white jade soup on the table, tested the temperature, and then "accidentally" knocked over the basin.
All the hot soup splashed onto Yun Tian's head beside him.
Yun Tian was crying loudly with a head of vegetable leaves on her head, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Yun Zhongjun naturally put the questioning of Yun Chen behind him.
So Yun Chen knew from a young age that although Yun Wang looked gentle and polite on the surface, he was actually full of darkness and should not be provoked.
Therefore, although she is the eldest sister, as soon as she meets Yun Wang, she unconsciously becomes the "obedient" one.
She opened the package Yun Wang sent her, and found it was a mess with all sorts of things inside.
There is a half-face mask with green teeth and fangs, shaped like a demon. The material is thick and hard. Judging from its age, it should be a precious item from the previous dynasty.
Yun Wang has always loved books and antiques, so he must have bought these from somewhere at a high price.
Yun Chen was very famous on the battlefield, firstly because of her skills, and secondly because of her feminine and pretty appearance. When the enemy shouted and cursed in front of the formation, they would always call her a "pretty boy" first.
With this mask, she will be able to fight much more conveniently in the future. It is really a good thing that comes at the right time.
Under the mask is a rare ancient recipe for treating colds. People who often swim easily suffer from bone-chilling coldness, and this recipe can dispel old coldness.
Next to it was a peach wood slingshot with a lotus carved on the bow, which looked like it was stuffed in from Yunlian City.
Further down was a small box. She was wondering why there was another box inside the box. When she opened it, the first thing she saw was an embroidered scarf, which was what the Bai family was best at, and then a copy of the Yun family genealogy.
The two words "Yun Chen", which were originally drawn with black lines to indicate death, were now written upright on the paper.
Under the family tree, there was first a long list of dowry, and then a thick stack of land deeds and business contracts, which were the inheritance left to her by Yun Zhongjun.
Yunwang, Yunlan, Yuntan, all of them are there.
Now Yun Chen has it too.
If Yun Zhongjun passes away, his children can divide the family property and set up their own families.
The portion that Yun Zhongjun left to Yun Chen consisted almost entirely of the Yun family's most prosperous businesses, land, and pastures.
The Mountain Sea Grassland was listed there, with a line of small text at the end, which was obviously added by Yun Zhongjun later:
"In the land of giant hairy grass in the east, all the wind chime flowers belong to Yun Chen."
Yun Chen couldn't imagine how embarrassed and reluctant Yun Zhongjun was when he wrote these words.
As mighty and rough as Yun Zhongjun is, there are probably not many times in his life when he can be so corny and romantic.
If you want to send a gift to your daughter, the safest way is to hide it secretly in Yunwang's gift box and send it out.
Yun Chen held the grassland deed against his chest, and felt an infinite warmth surging in his heart.
She sat in front of the small "Red Mountain" piled with gifts and looked around the house with carved beams and painted rafters.
She had her own house for the first time. Everyone was congratulating her.
She didn't rely on anyone, she killed people at every step, shed blood at every step, this was her family fortune and achievements she earned on her own.
For some reason, tears welled up in her eyes.
But she couldn't tell whether these tears were of gratitude or sadness.
She was grateful to the Eastern Palace for recognizing her loyalty, bravery, fighting spirit and hard work, and for appreciating her like a talented person.
At the same time, I also feel sad. It would be great if Xun Xuan and Xiao Liu were also in such a nice mansion.
If Jiang Ming saw that his disciple became a major general and lived in such a big house, would he be relieved that he would have someone to rely on in his old age?
Ruo Dankou is here, Miaomiao is here, and grandma is here too...
If everyone were here, they could all come to congratulate her on her move to her new house and have a good feast, how wonderful it would be...
Looking at the huge and quiet mansion, she suddenly felt empty and anxious in her heart.
She couldn't stand the silence and decided to stay at the Huo Mansion, perhaps she would feel more comfortable.
Not wanting to alarm the servants on night watch in the mansion, she prepared to jump over the wall again. Just as she was about to leap, she saw a figure standing on the top of the wall. She didn't know how long he had been there, and he was looking at her with a smile.
Yan Shijiu was wearing a moon-white robe inlaid with gold patterns, and his long hair was half tied up and half loose, which made his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes look very handsome.
Compared to when he was in Guying City, his figure had become broader. Although he was no longer as tall and strong as before, he was a little thinner, but this just happened to make his baby face look thinner, which weakened his previous childishness.
Now, his cheeks are thin and sharp, and he exudes a mature masculinity, even with a hint of indescribable evil charm.
He looked at her with a pair of eyes that shone with ghostly flames, and his voice was low and magnetic:
"Yun Chen, long time no see."
Yun Chen smiled and looked up at him. "Long time no see, Yan Nineteen. Look at how bright you look. It seems that the Eastern Palace didn't punish you. That's great."
Yan Shijiu knelt down on one knee gracefully and looked at Yun Chen more closely. "During the past few months since I left you, I've been concentrating on beauty and skincare. How do you think the results are?"
Yun Chen took a step back and looked up carefully:
"Not bad, very good. Even more handsome than before, even a bit like 'a beauty that brings disaster'."
"Hahahahahaha——" Yan Shijiu laughed heartily and was very satisfied with the description of her image.
Yun Chen rubbed his slightly sore neck and said, "Just as I'm about to leave the house, I'll go up and talk to you. My neck is so sore from looking up."
After she finished speaking, she jumped onto the top of the wall, but Yan Shijiu suddenly stood up and stepped back, bouncing far away from her by ten feet. The amplitude of his movement was so large that it scared her.
Seeing Yan Shijiu avoiding her like the plague, she sniffed herself curiously:
"I don't smell like anything. What are you afraid of? Why are you running so far away all of a sudden?"
Yan Shijiu smiled without saying anything, and only said, "I have something else to do, I have to leave after seeing you." Then he jumped with light skills and his figure disappeared over the wall.
She had long been accustomed to Yan Shijiu's "psychotic" style. She shrugged speechlessly and headed towards the Huo Mansion.
