Yang Fangxin was startled and took a step back, "Who are you?"
A female soldier next to her reacted very quickly and stepped forward to push the scholar away. At this time, a group of scholars gathered around and said, "We just want to ask Fang's name. We don't mean any harm. Why should the girl be like this?"
cold?"
The scholar who was pushed away mustered up his courage and stepped forward to salute again, "Xiaosheng Zhang Zhi, from Xihe County, may I ask the girl's name?"
This time he didn't dare to step forward. He stood a few feet away. As he spoke, he quietly glanced at the female soldier next to him. He saw that the opponent's knife had been drawn out, so he couldn't help but take another step back.
Yang Fangxin had calmed down. She glanced at them and saw that they were wearing Confucian robes and scholar hats, so she asked lightly: "Are you Guozi scholars?"
"Exactly!"
The scholar suddenly gained courage and said: "The girl's fairy-like appearance in white clothes is not stained by the world. She admires her so much that I dare to ask her if she can tell me her name."
"Huh! There's no such thing as a ghostly figure on the Hungry Ghost Festival."
Yang Fangxin turned around and pulled Yang Bing, "Let's go!"
The two turned around and left. A group of scholars became anxious and chased after them. "Girl, move slowly!"
The scholar begged even harder: "Meeting each other is fate, why does the girl not hesitate to meet you?"
The five female soldiers were furious and pulled out their swords to stop them. At this time, Yang Fangxin was also a little angry. She suddenly turned around, glared at a group of soldiers and said: "How do you have the right to know my name? You are risking your life for this."
Are you the soldiers of the armed forces who killed the enemy? Or are you the old farmers who work hard and contribute their land to the country? You are nothing, just a bunch of drunkards who don't want to study hard and serve the country, but you are bored and doing things here. You can only make me feel sick. Look.
Just one look at you makes me feel humiliated!"
Yang Fangxin scolded everyone until they were speechless. The scholar was ashamed and saluted, saying: "That's a good scold, girl. I know I was wrong."
Yang Fangxin ignored him, turned around and pulled Yang Bing away. After they were far away, Yang Bing stuck out her tongue and said, "Auntie, you scold me so much!"
Yang Fangxin snorted coldly, "A bunch of boring scholars ruined my mood."
Seeing that it was getting late, she said, "It's getting late. Let's go back!"
At this time, Yang Bing suddenly became a little scared, "Auntie, I sneaked out. Will aunt blame me?"
"It's okay, I'm here. I'll explain it to you! You're stuck at home all year round, so it's time to go out for a walk."
"But....."
Yang Bing was still a little scared. Their family law was very strict and had become even stricter a few months ago, but there was nothing she could do. She had no choice but to go back to her house with Yang Fangxin.
As soon as he entered the house, his sister Yang Sihua ran towards him. She took Yang Bing's hand and complained, "You didn't even call me when you went out to play, and you left me alone at home writing."
"Who said I went out to play?" Yang Bing said nervously.
"You still refuse to admit that Cheng Yaojin's wife saw you on the street and came to complain, saying that it was too dangerous for the eldest daughter of the King of Chu to show up in public. No, my mother and your mother were so angry that they turned blue.
.This is what happens if you don’t take me out with you.”
After Yang Sihua finished speaking, he jumped on his feet with hatred and ran away quickly. Yang Bing was stunned. What should I do? She glanced at Yang Fangxin timidly, "Auntie, what should I do?"
Yang Fangxin smiled and said, "This is not a big deal. Just tell the truth to the princess and I will come to rescue you right away."
Yang Bing had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the back house. As soon as he entered the house, a maid hurriedly came over and said, "Eldest lady, the princess asked you to go to the inner hall. Everyone is waiting for you!"
Yang Bing was so frightened that she was about to cry. She lowered her head and finally walked into the inner hall. In the inner hall, Princess Pei Minqiu was sitting in the middle with a gloomy face. Next to her was her mother, who also had an unhappy look on her face.
A group of girls were sitting.
Yang Bing walked forward and knelt down, whispering: "Bing'er knows I was wrong!"
"That's great! You explained it yourself before I even tried it. You said it yourself, where did you go wrong?"
Pei Minqiu's voice was neither loud nor stern, but it had an awe-inspiring majesty. Zhang Chuchen couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table angrily, "You damn girl, do you know how many people have gone out to look for you? You
If you don’t come back, the entire army in the city will be alarmed, do you know?”
Yang Bing couldn't help crying, "Bing'er shouldn't have secretly gone shopping without telling my aunt and mother. It violated the family law. Bing'er knows her mistake and is willing to accept the punishment!"
At this time, Yang Fangxin walked in and saluted Pei Minqiu and Zhang Chuchen, "Sisters, please listen to me."
Yang Fangxin is the daughter of Yang Guang and the sister of Yang Zhao. She is the same generation as Yang Yuanqing and a princess of the Sui Dynasty. She naturally has a calm and leisurely atmosphere in her movements.
Pei Minqiu was very polite to her and ordered: "Prepare a couch for the princess!"
"No, I'll just say a few words and leave."
Yang Fangxin apologized: "It is indeed wrong for Bing'er to go out to play privately tonight, but I am her aunt, but I did not stop her and took her out instead. This is my fault. I apologize to my two sisters and beg the princess.
For the sake of her knowing her mistake and my apology, I can give her a lighter punishment."
At this time, Zhang Xutuo's wife Han, who was sitting next to her, also stood up and begged, "Princess, Bing'er is so pitiful, she's even crying, give me some face and spare her!"
Mrs. Han had a high status in the Yang family, and the children called her Grandma Han. She was kind-hearted and loved her children very much. When the children made mistakes, they all ran to her for protection, which also caused Pei Minqiu a headache.
Pei Minqiu could only smile and said: "Children always have to be punished when they make mistakes. This is for their own good, but for the sake of the princess and the aunt's plea, I will not hit her and let her choose a punishment."
Pei Minqiu said to Yang Bing: "You can choose one of the two punishments. One is to be grounded in the room for a month, and the other is to have the house rules copied 500 times. You choose!"
There are hundreds of house rules in Yang's house, thousands of words long. It will take at least several months to copy them 500 times, but it is better than not being allowed to leave the room for a month. Yang Bing bit his lips and said: "I am willing to have my house searched."
regulation!"
"Okay! Get up and go eat."
Yang Bing stood up and was about to leave when Pei Minqiu said again: "Next time you want to go shopping, let me know and I will consider making arrangements for you. You are not allowed to go out privately again. In addition, there will be another night of the Ghost Festival Lantern Festival tomorrow.
I will arrange for everyone to go out and put out lights."
Several children immediately cheered, but Yang Bing didn't regret it at all. He went out with everyone, and there were many servants in front of him. He couldn't feel comfortable going shopping alone. He also met someone who expressed his love to Auntie. So many
Interesting!…
After washing up, Yang Bing and her mother entered the house. Zhang Chuchen scolded her: "You damn girl, if you run out again, see how I beat you."
Yang Bing knew that the punishment had been passed, and her mother was just talking. She hugged her mother's neck from behind and said coquettishly: "My mother used to be a heroine, and she has been free for so many years. Isn't it okay to let my daughter go out to play for a while?"
Zhang Chuchen had no choice but to say: "Just tell me, and my mother will accompany you out. If you encounter any bad guy, and my mother is here, I can give him a knife. If you run out alone, you will kill my mother."
Already."
"I didn't go out alone! My aunt and I went out, followed by five female soldiers. They were as fierce as a group of tigresses. Who dared to approach us? In fact, I was going to put out lanterns and wish for peace for my father. I also
I bought something for my mother."
Zhang Chuchen felt relieved when he heard that his daughter was going to make a wish for her father. His anger completely disappeared and he smiled and said, "You damn girl, show me what you bought for my mother."
Yang Bing quickly took out five or six pieces of copper jewelry from the small bag, placed them on the table, and said with a smile: "Mom, do you still recognize this thing?"
Chuchen picked up a copper hairpin, and the light of time seemed to bring her back twenty years ago. That year was the night of Shangyuan in the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor. She was only ten years old, and Yuan Qing also bought her a hairpin.
Such a copper hairpin, her daughter is now eleven years old.
Chuchen was filled with emotion as time flew by so fast. She smiled softly and said, "Your father also bought a copper hairpin like this for your mother before."
"I know, in Mom's cabinet, there is a pair of phoenix hairpins. Are they a love token from Dad?" Yang Bing lay on her mother's lap, her pretty face looking up, her bright eyes full of thirst for the past.
Knowing expectations.
"Nonsense! Mom was only ten years old at that time, and your father was also only ten years old. How do you know how to settle a relationship? Originally, your father promised to give me a gold hairpin, but ended up fooling me with a copper hairpin."
Yang Bing whispered: "But in mother's heart, it is more precious than gold, isn't it?"
Chuchen gently stroked his daughter's pretty face, feeling extremely loving in his heart. His daughter had grown up and become sensible...
Yang Fangxin returned to her room. She still lived with her sister Jiang Peihua. Jiang Peihua was seven months pregnant and had gone to bed early. She didn't know what happened tonight.
As soon as he entered the door, the little maid Yu'er greeted him, "The girl is back."
"Well! I'm really tired."
Yang Fangxin took off her coat and handed it to her, "I'm going to freshen up and have a rest. I'll talk to you tomorrow if you have anything to say!"
Yu'er took the clothes and complained in a low voice: "You won't take me with you when you go out to play."
"You damn girl, did I not take you with me? Where did you go when I left?"
Yu'er scratched her head and smiled: "Actually, I also went out to play and just came back."
"I know that if you, a three-legged cat, can stay anywhere, you will definitely escape."
At this time, there was a sound of "clang!" and a copper hairpin fell to the ground from her outer clothes. Yu'er bent down to pick it up, her eyes lit up, "What an exquisite double phoenix hairpin, girl, give it to me!"
Yang Fangxin hurriedly grabbed it and said, "I can't give this to you. Bing'er gave it to me."
"But... this is a copper hairpin, it's worthless and it's not worthy of your status."
"I want you to take care of it. Go and prepare hot water."
Yu'er went out. Yang Fangxin raised the copper hairpin and looked at it in the light for a long time. She couldn't help but sigh lowly. When could anyone give her such a copper hairpin?
