Moved by Yang Zhao's tears and full sincerity, the Yang sisters finally recognized their eldest brother. They chatted with each other about the current situation in Shuzhong, feeling quite sad.
Although Li Siye felt a little embarrassed in this situation, he had not completed his purpose of coming today and could only accompany him. Fortunately, the Yang sisters did not have Yang Guozhong's dramatic physique. It would have been embarrassing to stage a scene where brothers and sisters recognized each other and shed tears.
It made his skin crawl. They just sighed a few words with red eyes after talking about the general situation of their relatives in Shu.
The Yang sisters stopped talking and were about to be silent. Yang Guozhong quickly unfolded the Shu embroidery to show it to his three sisters. The Shu embroidery was thick and dense, and the colors were gorgeous. Especially the picture of oriole and peony in front of him gave people a graceful and majestic beauty.
, it is only suitable to be decorated in the emperor's palace to show the image of wealth and honor.
The Korean lady nodded and said, "Well, that's right. It's just right to send it to the palace as a tribute to the empress."
Yang Zhao stretched out four fingers and said: "I have brought ten pieces of Shu embroidery of the same quality as this one. Three pieces are dedicated to the three sisters, and the remaining seven pieces are dedicated to the empress. What do you think of the three sisters?"
Yang Yuyao smiled vaguely, waved her hands and said, "How can we use such an expensive gift? You should all go to the palace and give it to the empress."
Although she said this, her eyes honestly wandered over the unfolded Sichuan embroidery over and over again.
"Three sisters, please don't shirk it. The gifts Yang Zhao brought when he went to Chang'an this time were all bought by Qiu Zhang Zhongcheng. My younger brother also went to Chang'an to mediate for him on his order."
Mrs. Korea nodded in agreement: "Of course you have to help people fulfill their promises. Now that Yuhuan has been made a noble concubine by the saint, naturally many people came to the palace to give gifts to celebrate. She and the saint will specially receive her in the palace in the future.
For the officials who came to congratulate her, we say on your behalf that you can go in and see her with gifts."
The Korean lady turned her attention to Li Siye who was standing next to her: "Li Lang will also go to the palace to give gifts this time, or the day after tomorrow. You and Yang Zhao will accompany you."
Yang Zhao turned around and glanced at Li Siye in surprise. Judging from the tone of the eldest sister's words, this Li Siye's relationship with them was extraordinary? It seems that he should be treated with caution in the future, but whether he is a friend or an enemy depends on whether he will be in the capital.
Be your own stumbling block.
Li Siye crossed his hands and said: "When I entered the palace, I was the same as Yang Zhao. I also presented gifts to the imperial concubines on behalf of others. Since the three ladies are reunited with brother Yang Zhao today, I won't bother you anymore, and I specially say goodbye to the three ladies.
.”
Mrs. Han Guo and Mrs. Qin Guo smiled and nodded. Yang Yuyao stood up and led him out, saying, "I'll see you off."
This time, Yang Zhao was even more surprised. He looked back with wide eyes and quickly dodged back. He secretly guessed in his heart that with the high status of the Yang family today, even if Li Linfu, Li Shizhi and others came to visit, there would be no need to see him off in person.
What's more, he is just a small border guard envoy, with the same rank as the governor of Zhongzhou.
The only possible explanation is that the relationship between this man and the third sister is extraordinary. Is this guy going to succeed Pei as his brother-in-law, Yang Zhao?
Yang Yuyao sent Li Siye to the gate, raised her handkerchief and waved charmingly, and said with a dimpled smile: "I am not very comfortable living in this mansion now, so I want to leave it to my sister. The new mansion is also in this winding alley.
When the construction is successful, I will be the first to ask you to come over and take a look."
"Okay," Li Siye crossed his hands in agreement. "I must stay in Chang'an until the mansion is completed."
…
A person's curiosity has been entrenched in his heart for a long time, and he can't get it out at all times, just like a thief who wants to steal secrets. Yang Zhao knew very well that he shouldn't have made insidious inquiries about Li Siye and them when he was just accepted by the Yang sisters.
Relationships with the Yang family.
But the desire to explore the truth was itching in his stomach like a little bug, and he was determined not to rest in peace until he got the answer. He talked carefully with Mrs. Korea and Mrs. Qin, and began to attract Li Siye unconsciously.
.
He could feel and see that no matter whether officials from other places or officials from the capital came to visit Yang's house, most officials just let them in and were received by the family steward in the front yard, and they could not even see the three daughters of the Yang family. But Li Siye
Being able to enjoy the treatment of his cousin, who can directly enter this small building and have close contact with them.
He was careful and tried his best to ask in an edge-to-edge manner:
"Sister, I just came to Chang'an, and I am not familiar with the place. I don't know whether the officials of the imperial court should be friends with each other, and who I don't need to be friends with. Please give me some advice. For example, this Li Siye, I don't know where he is now.
What's your position? Do you need to be close to him?"
The Korean lady is very good at observing words and expressions. How could she not know that when Yang Zhao asked this question, he was actually asking, what is the relationship between this Li Siye and what ability does he have that makes you so rare for him? I look at my cousins without him.
It's popular in front of you.
The Korean lady coughed and asked her sister next to her: "Li Siye, did you ever serve as the crown prince under the command of the common man Li Ying?"
"Yes." Mrs. Qin replied flatteringly.
"I remember that the saint held an autumn hunt that year, and all the royal family participated. Yuhuan, who was Princess Shou at that time, was also among them. The green horse she was riding was frightened for no reason, and she carried it to escape into the dangerous mountains and forests. Followed by
The palace guards behind them couldn't protect them enough, so they panicked and chased after them."
"Li Siye was nearby at the time. He also rode a horse and chased her into the mountain forest. He rescued the horse before it fell off the cliff. Although King Shou rewarded Li Siye at that time, because he was the old prince
As a subordinate of Li Ying, the reward he received is far from enough. Now that my sister has become a noble concubine, many people who have little relationship with our Yang family, such as An Lushan, Wang Xian and others, can use our relationship to get promoted and make a fortune. He
I saved your Majesty back then, so I deserve to be rewarded. Naturally, I cannot let others criticize my Majesty, or criticize us, the Yang family, for not repaying our kindness."
Yang Guozhong suddenly realized that, as expected, this guy was lucky enough to be able to rescue the future princess in front of everyone. Although Yang Yuhuan was only a princess at that time, such coincidences and opportunities in life happened to happen.
After seeing it in his head, I had to sigh that this person was destined to be rich and noble.
He also thought secretly that Li Siye was only a seventh-grade petty official at the beginning, but now he is a fourth-grade general. This must be inseparable from Yang Yuhuan's support. The Yang family's reward is almost there, right? Should we start working on it?
Get rid of this person, lest he keep holding on to the Yang family to extort favors.
It's just that he has just recognized his relatives and has not yet fully fallen into the arms of the Yang family. The topic of such involvement cannot be spoken out yet. He should slowly bring it up after a period of time.
…
Three days later, in the early morning, Li Siye, dressed in crimson uniform, together with Yan Xiaosi and a soldier, headed towards Xingqing Palace with the gift he gave to Concubine Yang.
When he reached the cross street in front of Xingqing Palace, he discovered that he was not the only official who came to give gifts, nor were there just two or three, but nearly a hundred people. Of course, Yang Yuhuan would not receive all of them, and he would wait patiently.
Come on.
The eunuch in charge of receiving gifts led Long Wujun to stand in front of the third doorway in front of Mingyi Gate. Officials sent by military governors and governors from all walks of life lined up in a long and curvy queue. Li Siye arrived a little late.
Of course, you have to queue up.
Yang Guozhong arrived later than Li Siye, with a team of more than a dozen people behind him. Each person held different belongings in their hands and covered them with red gauze scarves, which looked quite mysterious.
He thought that when he came to Chang'an and met the three sisters, he should know everything about them, so he thought there was no need to queue up and just ordered people to carry things forward, which aroused the resentment and anger of officials from all walks of life.
"Duh! What's the matter with you? Do you think you're so successful that you don't have to wait in line?"
Yang Guozhong turned around, bared his teeth, pointed at his face and said, "Before you know who I am, don't talk nonsense and don't make fun of your own future."
"Ha," Li Siye, who was standing at the back, couldn't help laughing. This person stepped into the role very quickly and quickly found the feeling of being a relative of the emperor. Historical figures are real and tangible in this aspect, and they are no longer like those in the books.
A string of words without warmth has its own cuteness.
