Chapter 148: The awkward son of Yuwen
Yuwen Mansion is different from Hou Zizhen's house. It is not only tall and grand, but also has the door open. There are countless people coming in and out. It looks very busy, and it may be the final preparation before the wedding.
Yang Ze got off his pedestal, went up the steps, and said to the servant at the door: "This butler, please come in and inform him, and said that Yang Ze, the young minister of Dali Temple, asked to see Lord Yuwen." As he said that, he handed over his famous post, which was equivalent to a modern business card, with Yang Ze's official name on it, and it was made overnight.
The servant at the door was not a housekeeper, but just an ordinary Hakka student. When he heard that Yang Ze was from Dali Temple, he was shocked. No one knew about the bad name of Dali Temple in Chang'an. He quickly took the famous post and let Yang Ze in, and invited him to the main hall. Then he ran to deliver the famous post.
Yang Ze sat on the chair and waited, and Fu Bingrong and others stood behind him. Fu Bingrong whispered: "Master, the servant just now seemed to be afraid of you!"
Yang Ze shook his head and said, "How could he be afraid of me? He is afraid of Dali Temple. Could it be that the Yuwen family is a royal family? Has his daughter married into the royal family?"
Fu Bingrong and others looked at each other. They didn't understand the matter of the Yuwen family, and it was too late to inquire.
In the backyard, in a room full of gifts, a handsome young man was reading Yang Ze's famous post. The young man said, "Yang Ze, the young minister of Dali Temple, why did he really come? He sent him a wedding invitation yesterday, but it was just a polite thing. It doesn't matter if he didn't come, but it would be rude if we didn't give it to him. But how could he, an official from Dali Temple, come to our mansion? This is really strange. He is not afraid of the eldest princess getting angry?"
The servant who delivered the famous post said, "Master Yang brought several people here and several big boxes. It seems that the gift he gave is not light. Should the eldest master go out and have a look?"
"My father is not here, so I will naturally want me out!" The young man sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that the eldest princess would come. I really never expected that I would be most annoying to such things. I have always been unable to deal with people in the officialdom."
As he spoke, the young man went in front and saw Yang Ze. He immediately bowed and said, "My nephew Yuwen Baoxuan, I have seen Uncle Yang Shi. My father has gone to the yamen. He cannot welcome him in his guild, so he can only welcome Uncle Yang Shi. I am so rude to this place, and I hope Uncle Yang Shi will not be surprised!"
Yang Ze was stunned at first, and then he realized that Uncle Yang was calling him. Seeing that Yuwen Baoxuan was several years older than him, why did he call him Uncle Wei? Could it be that I would call his father the eldest brother?
Sitting up, Yang Ze smiled and said, "It turned out to be Yuwen...Young Master, I'm lucky to be lucky. It turns out that Lord Yuwen is not at home. I'm reckless. It's because I'm rude."
It seems that this is the groom tonight. Yang Ze waved his hand, and Fu Bingrong immediately took the gift to Yuwen Baoxuan and said, "This is my master's gift to you. I wish you and the bride a happy marriage. Have a noble son soon!"
According to the etiquette of the Chang'an nobles, he should have handed the gift to the housekeeper, but Fu Bingrong handed it directly to Yuwen Baoxuan. Yuwen Baoxuan grew up in a noble family and received strict education. However, unlike Fu Bingrong's carefree personality, he took the gift. His face looked a little ugly, and he felt that he was insulted. He was not a servant, so how could he let him do such a thing as receiving gifts?
Yuwen Baoxuan handed over the gift to the servant beside him and said, "I'd like to ask Uncle Yang Shi to sit down for a while. I'll make tea for you in person, and come when I go!" After that, he left on his own. Didn't you let me do it for a servant? Okay, then I'll do it. I won't be with you anymore, so stay by myself!
Yang Ze sat back on the chair and thought to himself: "The people in the capital have a weird temper, and they are not as well-educated as they imagined. I just saw a Lord Hou, and now I see a little nephew Yuwen, why are they so awkward!"
"This young master Yuwen looks awkward!" Tan Zhengwen whispered.
It seems that I was not the only one who thought so! Yang Ze turned around and said, "Speak softly, this is at someone's house!"
At this time, the housekeeper came in from outside and saw Yuwen Baoxuan go out. This was a very disrespectful act. Although his Master Yuwen was quite inconsistent with the officials of Dali Temple and belonged to the category of political enemies, Yuwen Wushu would never be able to do such a shameful thing, and would not allow Yuwen Baoxuan to do it.
The housekeeper thought to himself, this young master is really uneasy. He caused trouble and was spoiled by the master! He entered the door and nodded at Yang Ze and said, "Mr. Yang, don't misunderstand it. My young master did make tea for you, and it is definitely not a negligence. His skill in making tea is excellent in Beijing, and he doesn't cook it easily. To show your respect for Lord Yang, he went there now. Please ask Lord Yang to sit down!"
Yang Ze smiled and said, "I understand, of course I understand. By the way, when will your Lord Yuwen come back? But you have to go home after the payment?"
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Yes, we can only come back after we have to pay the price. The banquet also began at that time. Otherwise, the adults would be busy. If we don't pay the price, we wouldn't be able to come!"
Yang Ze nodded and said, "So, I am the only one who is free. Well, then I will wait for the adults to come, so I will come again!"
"Damn it, villain said the wrong thing, Lord Yang, don't blame me!" The housekeeper was anxious and offended what he said. The officials of Dali Temple were different from other places. It was really a matter of no reason not to go on duty.
Yang Ze stood up and didn't wait for any tea. He took Fu Bingrong and others to leave Yuwen Mansion, and found a restaurant across the street and went in for lunch.
After ordering the dishes, Yang Ze called the waiter and asked, "Do you know the Yuwen Mansion across the street?"
The waiter looked through the window and smiled and said, "Of course I know that it's right across the street, I can see it all day long. Yuwen's family will hold a wedding today and marry a wife for the eldest son." At this point, he laughed sneered.
Yang Ze said: "What's so funny about this? The Yuwen family is a wealthy family, and the wife you marry must be a lady from a famous family. It should be very beautiful, right?"
The waiter said, "Beautiful, that's so beautiful. It can be said that it's famous in the capital! You are from another place. If you came a month earlier, you would have seen her. As long as you have money, you can see her if you want. She is not a famous lady!"
Tan Zhengwen yelled and said, "You can see it if you have money? That's not a brothel girl, or she's just a singer and dancer!"
With a thumbs up, the waiter said, "This guest guess is so accurate. Miss Liu Ruyan is the number one singer and dancer in the capital. She is known as a courtesan. She is not a man of her own. She is a little older and is over twenty!"
Yang Zeqi said: "What's going on? How could Lord Yuwen ask his son to marry a dancer?" He has been in this era for a long time. He had not allowed his sons and nephews to marry a woman from a famous family.
The waiter smiled and said, "It's fate in the previous life. Lord Yuwen refused to agree, but the eldest son got sick and couldn't afford to get sick. Lord Yuwen had to agree and even redeem Liu Ruyan. When the eldest son was happy, the illness was cured, and the happy event was completed. Isn't this fate?"
He smiled and spoke, but there was obvious disdain in his laughter, as if he was marrying a wife, and he was unwilling to marry a dancer. However, Yang Ze estimated that if Liu Ruyan wanted to marry him, he would be crazy about him. This would be called "the grapes are sour"!
Yang Ze asked tentatively: "Mr. Yuwen's family has a happy event. I wonder what kind of guests will come, will there be royal relatives, such as will the eldest princess come?" He didn't want to ask what the result was. What a waiter could know, that was, he asked casually.
But the waiter replied with certainty: "No, no one will come, nor will the eldest princess come. Everyone in the capital knows that the eldest princess and Lord Yuwen are incompatible!"
"Why is this?" Yang Ze was shocked. How could a waiter know about the princes and nobles? This is really strange.
But the waiter also looked at Yang Ze strangely. Suddenly, he suddenly realized and said, "By the way, you don't necessarily know about this. You are from another place! Master Yuwen's brother, Yuwen Taoluo, is the eldest princess's son-in-law. After many years of death, the two families no longer interacted, like enemies. This... I don't know!" He laughed dryly, and he went to greet other guests!
Yang Ze slapped the table gently and said, "So that's the case. Here's the reason for rushing love. No wonder Old Man Hou refused to come. It turned out to be an enemy!"
The eldest princess's son-in-law died suddenly. There are rumors that she was murdering her husband, but the eldest princess herself did not admit it, and no one dared to mention it, but the Yuwen family would not mention it, because the son-in-law belongs to his family. The brother died suddenly for no reason. Can Yuwen Wuluo not hold a grudge? But there is no way to deal with the eldest princess. Maybe the "rumor" was spread from him, but the eldest princess also had no way to deal with him. Isn't this revenge affair!
Tan Zhengwen was the fastest-minded and whispered: "Master, then, the Yuwen family is still a royal relative. If his family commits a case, it will be under our jurisdiction of Dali Temple. No wonder Old Man Hou said he didn't want us to give him gifts. Maybe he will really meet in court in the future!"
Yang Ze nodded and said, "No wonder the groom from the Yuwen family is not polite to me. If you want to talk about royal relatives, no one will like the people from our Dali Temple!"
Fu Bingrong and others also nodded. This is indeed the case. Dali Temple is dedicated to dealing with royal relatives!
Yang Ze said: "Eat, after dinner, let's find a place to rest for a while. Didn't they send me a wedding invitation? Then we have to go and have a meal in the evening and bring the gifts back. This is said that no one owe anyone. If something happens in the future, we will meet in court!"
Fu Bingrong said: "Yes, we will go to the venue tonight, we must be so fucked and their Yuwen family must be fucked!"
"Go to the bridal chamber and see how beautiful the bride is. Liu Ruyan, when I heard this, my saliva flowed down!" Tan Zhengwen said in a daze, and even wiped the corner of his mouth!
Everyone laughed together, thinking of the awkward Prince Yuwen’s wedding chamber, even Yang Ze had a little expectation, and he had to make things difficult for him!
Chapter completed!
