In front of you is a mansion that is still under construction. It is located in Yangjiawuzhai Lane in Xinghuafang. Both the gorgeous and complex architecture and the vast area of area are far beyond those of ordinary royal relatives.
Li Siye stood outside the courtyard wall and could see the three-story Xieshan double-eaves building inside the wall, which was more than seven feet high and actually looked like a low-end version of the calyx building. Tang law stipulated that court officials were not allowed to rise from tall buildings to overlook other people's homes, but this building
When it is built, you can not only look down at other people's homes, but almost the entire Xinghuafang.
"Come on, make way." The carpenters used wheelbarrows to push huge logs into the construction site. Li Siye stretched out his hand and pulled Daorou's shoulder to make her move away.
It is said that this compound was originally the property of the Wei family in Jingzhao Prefecture. Yang Yuyao forcibly demolished it and took it directly as his own. He did not pay any compensation and only found a small mansion for the Wei family elsewhere in Chang'an City.
The Yang family dares to be angry but dare not speak out. The most domineering royal relatives in history are none other than the Yang family.
Yang Yuyao came slowly from the end of the street on a chariot, with several servants clearing the way. She lay down inside and took advantage of the cool breeze. When she saw Li Siye standing outside the door of the house, she ordered people to stop.
A maidservant bowed forward and stretched out her hand to help her walk out of the chariot. The lady turned back and waved her hand and ordered: "Carry the chariot back."
A group of people rushed away in chariots as if they had been granted amnesty, leaving only a little girl and a little eunuch standing on either side of her as if they had been filled with mercury. They were really virgins.
Yang Yuyao glanced at Dao Rou who was standing behind Li Siye, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. She pretended to flash him inadvertently from the corner of her eyes, and asked Li Siye with a smile: "Li Lang, are you in a hurry?"
This was the mellow and soft voice of the Royal Sister with lethal power, which made Li Siye's ears buzz. She noticed that Li Siye's maid's eyes were drooping and her face was expressionless, and she looked away with lightning-like jealous eyes.
"The house has not been completed yet. I heard that you were eager to return to Qixi, so I took you to have a look. In fact, there is no need for you to leave early. With me, Yang Yuyao, standing here, who dares to make irresponsible remarks!"
Li Siye laughed dryly and said: "Good steel should be used on the blade, because there is no such thing as malpractice for personal gain. Come on, let me go in and visit your splendid garden."
"Splendid Huating, haha, that's a good name." Yang Yuyao laughed so hard that she pointed at the front door and said, "When the house is completed, I will change the door plaque and call it Splendid Huating."
After entering the door, he discovered that the imagination of these dignitaries, emperors and relatives was really poor, and they could only imitate others. The entire structure of the mansion was a combination of half Xingqing Palace and half Hot Spring Palace, let alone
The arrangement of the courtyard is symmetrical. Without the central axis, no house would be built.
In front of the tallest building against the backyard wall is a miniature version of the Dragon Pond, with a long pavilion surrounding the pond. He stood at the entrance of the pavilion and looked at the roof of the building, where craftsmen were laying tiles on the eaves.
, and there are a bunch of carpenters squatting downstairs, using planes and chisels to process wooden tiles. Each wooden tile must be painted with the green glaze of Tang Sancai. This is really a waste of money, luxury and depravity.
Yang Yuyao leaned on Li Siye's shoulder, raised her arm and pointed upstairs and said: The third floor upstairs is yours."
"Mine?" Li Siye was surprised for a moment and quickly closed his mouth.
"To be precise, it belongs to both of us."
He really wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. This woman actually wanted to support him. The steps of the Yang family were really hard to walk on.
Yang Yuyao's voice suddenly became cold again, and the topic jumped eight hundred miles away: "Who is that woman following you outside the door to you?"
"A distant relative from the same clan who was exiled in Gaoling County was bought by me and became a slave."
Yang Yuyao moved her head away from his shoulder and said, "Kill her to death, and I can give you a good word in front of the saint and guarantee that you will be the governor of Anxi in the future."
Li Siye suddenly turned his head to look at her. This beautiful woman raised her eyebrows upwards, pursed her lips tightly and let out a sarcastic laugh: "What, you can't bear to part with me?"
He asked in a joking tone: "If I want to be the governor of Hexi, do I need to kill ten maids like this? Huh?"
Yang Yuyao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled: "You are so greedy that you actually want to serve as the governor of Hexi Province. Can a person become fat in one bite? What do you think?"
Li Siye did not laugh. He turned his head and looked away, feeling disgusted with the woman next to him. After she smiled, he turned back to her and said, "I have a wife."
Yang Yuyao thought of something funny again, and giggled again, her jade steps swaying on her fairy bun with double rings. She suddenly stopped laughing, and said with a smile in her eyes: "What if you
Go back and kill your wife. Even if I give up my wealth, I will help you to come to Hexi for this festival."
Li Siye's expression suddenly changed: "Are you crazy?"
A trace of timidity flashed in the corner of her eyes, and then she laughed: "I was just joking with you, you see you take it seriously, why are you so ungrateful? You told me that you have prosopagnosia, and you can't tell the difference between people around you.
If a woman is beautiful or not, what is the difference between me and her? How can you tell who is good and who is bad between me and her? Since you can't tell the difference, what's the use of this lady?"
Who could laugh under such circumstances? Li Siye had already endured himself and did not raise his hand to slap her.
"I heard someone say that you should marry a virtuous wife and keep a concubine and have sex. If, I mean, if you were given a choice, would you rather be a virtuous person or a lustful person?"
Yang Yuyao raised her neck proudly and said, "My wife is both virtuous and lustful."
There is really no self-knowledge at all.
"You can only choose one, how do you choose?"
"Of course I have to choose beauty. I, Yang Yuyao, don't need to be a good wife and mother for anyone. I am now the wife of the Guo Kingdom. Now that I am as beautiful as a peony, which man dares to take me as a concubine? Do you dare?
?Li Siye."
"Yes, I don't dare."
If you want a piece of green above your head, no one dares.
The two walked along the stone path throughout the courtyard. Each house was exquisitely and beautifully built, with durable wooden tiles on the roof and stone bricks on the ground. There was a large vat made of white porcelain in the courtyard, which was as big as
Sima Guang couldn't be saved even if he fell in. The bright red koi carp was wandering in the water.
After walking around the whole house, they were about to say goodbye outside the door of the new house. Yang Yuyao suddenly stood up on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and hung on his body like an ivy, whispering: "I really don't want to.
Let you leave Chang'an and leave me. If I ask the saint to keep you in the court, what kind of official position must I give you to satisfy you?"
"I'm not in Qixi to be an official, I'm here...to make contributions."
Yang Yuyao actually smiled. In her eyes, Li Siye's so-called achievements were no different from a seven-year-old child asking for candied haws. If you want to be rich, you don't need to shed blood on the battlefield. All you need is Hu Xuan singing and dancing and flattering the emperor.
Daorou leaned against the door panel of the side door and slowly poked her head out to peek at Li Siye and Yang Yuyao flirting inside the door. She quietly retracted her head, raised her head against the door panel and inhaled the cool air in the air.
When Li Siye and Yang Yuyao walked side by side towards the gate, she quickly ran back between the two horses on tiptoe, holding the reins with her left and right hands, pretending to be expressionless.
On their way back, Daorou rode behind him. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Alang, this woman is not a good person."
Li Siye turned around slightly and asked her suspiciously: "Did you peek just now?"
"No," she quickly lowered her head to hide the shy expression on her face.
Li Siye walked slowly, holding the horse's reins with his hand, and his expression became more and more serious. Neither Yang Yuyao, the madam of Guo Kingdom who had just been wild and wild, nor Dao Rou, who was ordered by the prince to approach him and monitor him, were not worthy of belief and could truly reassure him.
