Huaiyu only stayed in Yanzhou City for a few days before returning to Baicheng. Li Sanniang followed him on horseback, and Junior Brother Wu kept shouting along the way.
This made Huaiyu's subordinates and secretaries look askance.
Li Dejiang has also discovered the problem now. It's not that he is paranoid. This niece is really careless and calls her Junior Brother Wu. But these days in Yanzhou, she goes to see Wu Huaiyu every day, following him wherever he goes.
Even the blind man who touched bones in Yanzhou City already knew that Mrs. Li Sanniang of the Yongkang Palace was having an affair with the military governor.
Li Dejiang had no choice but to tactfully remind his niece that Wu Huaiyu had a wife, three concubines, four concubines, and many concubines, but Li Sanniang seemed not to understand.
I still go my own way, and I still look for Wu Huaiyu every day.
Back to Baicheng this time, Li Dejiang hoped that Sanniang would leave a few days later, but Li Sanniang still followed him and even rode beside Wu Huaiyu, talking and laughing along the way.
Looking at Li Dejia, he could only sigh again and again. He couldn't understand the looks of others.
It is estimated that there will be a joke in Chang'an City soon.
The Sanniang of Yongkang's palace, a daughter of a famous family, is actually so ambiguous with a married man.
This will not only embarrass the Li family, but more importantly, Li Sanniang’s reputation. How will she marry in the future?
You said that if she is a widowed young widow, like Cui of Qinghe and Cheng Yaojin, it is understandable, but she is still a young lady.
Back in Baicheng, the Fan sisters immediately came to see Huaiyu seriously.
"I heard that Mrs. Li Sanni from the Yongkang Palace is hanging around Erlang every day these days?"
Huaiyu looked at their formation and said, "What are you talking about? Sanniang is Runniang's sworn sister and the grand-niece of my teacher Yongkang Gong. She is even my senior sister. She just came from Chang'an. As a landlord, I
She must entertain her and introduce her to the customs and customs here. She wants to run the manor salt farm here, buy land and build a house, etc. It is normal for her to need my help with some things."
Wu Huaiyu didn't think too much.
After all, Li Sanniang has a distinguished status. Although she is not Li Jing's biological granddaughter, she is the biological granddaughter of Li Jing's eldest brother. It is said that she is the eldest granddaughter of Li's family. Li Jing has no daughter, so this Sanniang was raised by their couple since they were young.
big.
The Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi, the Yongkang Palace, the legitimate daughter of the eldest son. With such status, whether she is marrying into the seventh family of the fifth surname, or the sixth surname in Guanlong, it is enough. Marrying the legitimate son of the newly-weds of the military meritorious family,
That's considered getting married.
He is a married man, how could he have anything to do with Li Sanniang?
Li Sanniang just has a free and easy personality. After all, they have known each other for a long time, and he has no random thoughts at all.
Seeing Huaiyu's attitude, Fan Wuniang said angrily, "I am a woman, and women know women better. Although Li Sanniang comes from a noble family, Erlang, you are young, promising, and handsome..."
Huaiyu quickly interrupted her, "Stop, stop, stop, although I think I'm handsome, I still know it a little bit. Sanniang is just familiar with me, and her personality is more free and easy, but she really doesn't mean anything else."
, don’t think too much about it.”
"Erlang and I are waiting in Baicheng. We have heard many ambiguous rumors about you in Yanzhou. It is estimated that the rumors have already started to spread in Chang'an City at this moment..."
Huaiyu pinched his chin, "It's not that serious, is it?"
He really didn't think about it, he just felt that Sanniang had a free and easy temperament, and her relationship with the Li family, even though she called her sister, she really treated her as a sister, so how come there were rumors of a scandal.
"It's already spread all over the place, how else would we know?"
"This is bad."
Wu Huaiyu still didn't think Li Sanniang would be interested in him. He just felt that the two of them had been getting close to each other these days. He didn't pay attention to it for a while, which caused outsiders to misunderstand and spread random rumors. He didn't care, but it would ruin Sanniang's reputation.
"It seems that I need to pay more attention in the future."
Seeing Huaiyu like this, the Fan sisters couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that it was just random rumors spread by outsiders and that there was really nothing between Huaiyu and Sanniang?
But neither of them believed it in their hearts.
After all, most well-known women care about reputation. Who would be so close to other men?
"Why don't I go visit Li Sanniang and clarify my words? She is the daughter of the Yongkang Duke's palace. She is still in the boudoir, so she has to pay attention to her reputation."
"It's better not to. If you come here like this, wouldn't you be humiliating Sanniang?"
As expected, this scandal spread quickly in Yanzhou.
One is the governor of Yanzhou and newly promoted to the county magistrate, and the other is the daughter of the Danyangfang of the Li family in Longxi, Guanlongmen.
They are talented men and beautiful women, but one of them is already married to the daughter of Duke Ying, while the other is not yet engaged.
If a scandal spreads between two people like this, the common people will love to hear it. It will spread faster than the wind, and it will even be constantly added to the news, making it more and more interesting.
Some rumors even say that the two have been together for a long time. Some even say that they were already together in Chang'an. Later, the daughter of Yingguo Duke Fan Xing fought for her love...
Li Dejiang came to see his niece.
First, I brewed a pot of Mengding Huangya green tea.
"The loose tea from Erlang's house is delicious." Li Sanniang said with a smile.
Li Dejiang became increasingly helpless, "Now there are some rumors."
"It's about you."
Li Sanniang was straightforward, "It's about me and Erlang."
"It seems you've heard about it too."
"I heard something about it."
"Go back to Chang'an."
"I just came here and didn't want to go back."
Li Dejiang was a little angry, "Now that the situation is like this, why are you still here? Go back quickly."
"No."
"I am your second uncle,"
Li Sanniang picked up the teapot and poured tea, and said calmly, "What's wrong with my second uncle?"
"If you don't care about your family's reputation, why don't you care about your own reputation? You are of marriageable age and you are not a child. How will you get married when you make such a big fuss?"
Li Sanniang picked up the tea cup and tasted it carefully without paying any attention to it.
"What on earth do you think?"
Li Sanniang asked back, "Isn't my second uncle always here these days? Isn't it true that my second uncle doesn't know what's going on?"
Li Dejiang was a little angry, "You really think you can't see anything when you are your second uncle? I admit that Wu Huaiyu is indeed young and promising, good-looking, young, funny, and talented, but he is already a married woman.
Husband, you are a daughter of a famous family, why can’t you understand?”
"I don't think I did anything wrong."
"Wrong, you are absolutely wrong. You should go back to Chang'an as soon as possible."
"No return."
The uncle and nephew were stuck there.
Although Li Dejiang is also a bohemian person, he still wants to persuade his niece not to go further down this wrong path.
"It's wrong of you to do this, and it won't end well."
Unfortunately, she couldn't listen at all.
Even if Li Dejiang used his uncle's name to suppress her, it would be useless.
The angry Li Dejiang went directly to Wu Huaiyu.
Li Dejiao got straight to the point and hoped that he would pay more attention to the distance and propriety with Sanniang in the future.
"I want to apologize to Brother Dejiao. This matter was my fault. I didn't pay attention for a moment, which caused a very bad impact on the reputation of the Li family and Sanniang. I will correct it."
Wu Huaiyu's attitude made Li Dejiang confused again.
Is this just Sanniang's wishful thinking and unrequited love?
But facing Wu Huaiyu's attitude, he couldn't say anything more.
When Li Sanniang came to see Wu Huaiyu again, Huaiyu had already begun to find reasons for missing.
Although he avoided it everywhere, rumors, especially scandals, were not so easy to eliminate.
He hid, but Li Sanniang chased him.
This also confused Wu Huaiyu.
Could it be that what Fan Wuniang and the others said was true?
But it shouldn't be. Li Sanniang is the best choice regardless of her family background, looks, moral character, talent and ability. Such a girl, a well-known man who wants to marry the Li family, can break the threshold of the Li family.
Although Li Sanniang had the demeanor of a general and a tiger girl, and sometimes acted a little too free and easy, in the early Tang Dynasty when the atmosphere was more open, this was not a big deal.
Even though the conservative old gentry may not accept it, the Guanlong military aristocracy and the new rich will never dislike such a daughter-in-law.
Li Jing had just been promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Crown Prince Zuo Wei. Anyone with a sensitive political mind knew that Li Jing had entered the central government and would be used more seriously.
Wu Huaiyu didn't pay much attention to the rumors at first. He felt that he just didn't have a good sense of distance and people misunderstood him. After all, he himself didn't believe that Li Sanniang would have any interest in him. It was impossible.
But now, Li Sanniang comes to see him every day, even if he finds various reasons to refuse to meet, and even now with so many rumors, she still comes to see him every day, which is wrong.
It doesn't make sense.
I intentionally want to meet her and have a frank and honest conversation, but I'm afraid that the more we talk, the more trouble we get.
Seeing that she came to see her every day, ignoring the rumors, making the scandal spread more and more, Wu Huaiyu had no choice but to run away.
He grabbed Doulu Huairang and went directly to Lingzhou.
The legitimate reason is of course that as the chief of the Lingzhou Governor's Office, he also needs to return to Lingzhou to handle some affairs of the Governor's Office, but in fact he really doesn't know how to deal with Li Sanniang.
It doesn't make sense, it's so weird.
On the other hand, Lu Huairang laughed at Wu Huaiyu all the way.
The prince-in-law felt that there was nothing a man could do to escape from such a thing.
"Is there anything I can't understand? You are young, promising and handsome. You are a nineteen-year-old Shifeng Kaiguo County Duke. You are known as the Four Wonders. You are good at writing poems, calligraphy and painting, and you are also good at medicine, Taoism, and alchemy. What do you mean?
Which girl is confused?
Let me tell you, do you know how many mini poems the ladies of Chang'an City have now?
To tell you the truth, Princess Wanchun is very mini."
Wu Huaiyu looked at Doulu Huairang, how could he say that his wife is infatuated with another man? Why don't you put a hat on yourself?
Fortunately, I am not familiar with Princess Wanchun.
"Really, you don't know how famous you are in Chang'an now, especially your frontier fortress poems, which are popular and leading the way. Whether you really understand or pretend to understand, many noble ladies now read your poems."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Although many of Wu Huaiyu's poems were copied from Li Taibai's, he did not believe that he was as famous as Li Taibai now and would have so many adoring fans.
But Doulu Huairang said that he is indeed very famous now, "A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, no matter if she is a daughter of a famous family, can easily get lost."
Regarding the current situation, Doulu Huairang was just envious, "It's not you who seduces, but someone else takes the initiative. What are you afraid of? Don't be a coward."
Wu Huaiyu looked at the wretched Doulu Huairang and said, "Dong Yongkang is a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. Sanniangzi's father and brothers are also strong generals who survived the siege of the Turks last year. There is also Li Dejiang, who was born as a ranger and has great swordsmanship."
Gao Chao, are you still a disciple of Abbot Lou Guan? Are you afraid that they will kill you after you say this?"
Doulu Huairang couldn't help but shut up.
Speaking of which, the Doulu family is not as powerful as the Li family.
He smacked his lips and said, "Then you didn't eat the mutton, but you got yourself into trouble, and you lost a lot of money."
"Stop talking about it, I think this matter is just a rumor in the public. What is Li Sanniang's identity? She just didn't treat my junior brother as an outsider, so it was spread by people."
"Then why are you running?"
One sentence left Wu Huaiyu speechless.
Doulu Huairang's next words made Huaiyu speechless even more, "If she really has that intention, there's no point in running away, won't they chase her?"
