Chapter 56: The Choice of Scholars and Letters
Yang Fangxin was shocked and took a step back, "Who are you?"
A female soldier next to her reacted very quickly and stepped forward and pushed the scholar away. At this time, a group of scholars surrounded him and said in a verbal way: "We just want to ask Fang Ming, and there is no malice. Why should the girl be so cold?"
The scholar who was pushed away mustered up his courage and went forward to salute again, "Little student Zhang Zhi, from Xihe County, may I ask about the name of the girl?"
This time he didn't dare to go forward. He was a few feet away. While speaking, he quietly glanced at the female soldier beside him. The opponent's knife had been pulled out, and he couldn't help but take another step back.
Yang Fangxin had calmed down and glanced at them. Seeing that they were wearing Confucian robes and scholar hats, she asked lightly: "Are you scholars of the Imperial College?"
“That’s right!”
The scholar immediately had the courage and said, "The girl's fairy figure in white clothes is not contaminated with the world, which makes the young actor extremely admire her. She dared to ask, but I wonder if the girl can tell her name."
"Hmph! There is no fairy figure in Zhongyuan Festival, just a ghost."
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 him, "Girl, go slowly!"
The scholar begged even harder: "Meeting is fate, why should girls not hesitate to fate?"
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 turned around suddenly and glared at a group of scholars and said, "What qualifications do you have to know my name? Are you the soldiers of the three armies who sacrificed their lives and killed the enemy for the country? Or are the old farmers who worked hard and contributed their land to the country? You are nothing, a group of wine bags, not thinking of studying hard to serve the country, but they are bored and deceiving here. You can only make me feel disgusted. When you look at you, I feel it is humiliation!"
Yang Fangxin scolded everyone and scolded them speechlessly. The scholar said in shame: "Miss is good, I know I'm wrong."
Yang Fangxin ignored him and turned around and pulled Yang Bing away. After walking away, Yang Bing stuck out his tongue and said, "A Gu. It's so good to scold you!"
Yang Fangxin snorted coldly, "A bunch of boring scholars have ruined my mood."
Seeing that it was getting late, she said, "It's getting late. Let's go back!"
At this moment, Yang Bing suddenly became a little scared, "Auntie, I sneaked out. Will the aunt blame me?"
"It's okay, I'm here. I'll explain it to you! I'll be stuck at home all year round, so I should go out for a walk."
"But....."
Yang Bing was still a little scared. Their family law was very strict, and it became even stricter a few months ago, but there was nothing she could do. She had to go back to the mansion with Yang Fangxin.
As soon as he entered the mansion, his sister Yang Sihua ran towards him and held Yang Bing's hand and complained: "You don't even call me when you go out to play, so I'll just stay at home and write alone."
"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 the eldest daughter of the King of Chu actually showed up in public, which was too dangerous. So, my mother and your mother were so angry that their faces turned blue. This is the consequence of not taking me out with you."
After Yang Sihua said that, her feet jumped in hatred and ran away. Yang Bing was shocked. What should I do? She looked at Yang Fangxin timidly, "A Gu, what should I do?"
Yang Fangxin smiled, "This is not a big deal. Just tell the truth to the princess, and I will save you immediately."
Yang Bing had to bite the bullet and walk towards the back house. As soon as he entered the house, a maid hurried over, "Miss Chang, the princess asked you to go to the inner hall, everyone is waiting for you!"
Yang Bing was so scared that she was about to cry. She lowered her head and finally walked into the inner hall. In the inner hall, Princess Pei Minqiu sat in the middle with a gloomy face, and her mother was also unhappy. She sat on both sides of her mother.
Yang Bing walked up and knelt down, whispering: "Bing'er knew she was wrong!"
"It's great! I haven't tried it yet, so you just explained it yourself. You said, what's wrong with you?"
Pei Minqiu's voice was not loud or harsh, but she had a kind of awesome majesty. Zhang Chuchen could no longer help but slammed the table in anger, "You damn girl, do you know how many people have gone out to find you. If you don't come back, the entire city of troops will be alarmed. Do you know?"
Yang Bing couldn't help crying, "Bing'er shouldn't have run out to go shopping secretly. She didn't tell her aunt and mother, which violated family law. Bing'er knew she was wrong and was willing to accept punishment!"
At this time, Yang Fangxin walked in and gave a greeting to Pei Minqiu and Zhang Chuchen, "Two sisters, please listen to your words."
Yang Fangxin is Yang Guang's daughter, Yang Zhao's sister, and she is the same generation as Yang Yuanqing, and a princess of the Sui Dynasty. She naturally has a calm and composed atmosphere in every move.
Pei Minqiu was very polite to her and ordered: "Prepare a bed for the princess!"
"No need, I'll leave after saying a few words."
Yang Fangxin apologized: "It's really wrong to Bing'er go out to play privately tonight, but I was her aunt, but I didn't stop her. Instead, I took her out. This is my fault. I apologized to my two sisters and begged the princess to give her a lighter punishment for her sake because of her mistakes and for my apology."
At this time, Zhang Xutuo's wife, Han, who was sitting aside, also stood up to plead, "Princess, Bing'er is so pitiful. She's crying. Give me a face and spare her!"
Han's status in Yang's mansion was very high. The children called her grandmother Han. She was kind-hearted and loved her children very much. When the children made mistakes, they all went to her for protection, which also gave Pei Minqiu a headache.
Pei Minqiu had no choice but to smile and said, "Children always need to be punished for making mistakes, which is also for their own benefit. However, for the sake of the princess and the aunt pleading, I will not beat her and let her choose one for punishment."
Pei Minqiu said to Yang Bing: "You can choose any of the two punishments, one is to be in a room for one month, and the other is to be punished by the house search 500 times. You can choose it yourself!"
There are hundreds of family rules in the Yang family, thousands of words, and it will take at least a few months to copy five hundred times, but it is better than not leaving the room for a month. Yang Bing bit his lips and said, "I am willing to search the house rules!"
"Okay! Get up and go for a meal."
Yang Bing stood up and was about to leave, Pei Minqiu said again: "Next time I want to go out shopping, tell me, I will consider making arrangements for you, and I am not allowed to go out privately. In addition, there is one night in the Zhongyuan Festival. I will arrange for everyone to go out and turn on the lights tomorrow."
The children immediately cheered, but Yang Bing did not regret it at all. He went out with everyone, and was in a state of great power. He was not as comfortable as he went out shopping alone. He also met someone who expressed his love to A Gu. How interesting it was!
.........
After washing up, Yang Bing and her mother entered the house. Zhang Chuchen then scolded her and said, "You damn girl, you run out again and see how I hit 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: "Mom used to be a female hero. She has been alone for so many years. Can't she let her daughter go out for a while?"
Zhang Chuchen had no choice but to say, "You say it, my mother will accompany you out. If you meet someone who is a bad person, you can also give him a knife. If you run out alone, you will be anxious to death."
"No one went out! A Gu and I went out, and there were five female soldiers behind me, who were as fierce as a group of tigresses. Who dared to approach us? Actually, I went to turn on the lights and wish my father peace. I also bought something for my mother."
When Zhang Chuchen heard that his daughter was going to make a wish for his father, he felt very relieved. He completely disappeared and said with a smile: "You damn girl, what did you buy for your mother? Show me."
Yang Bing quickly took out five or six pieces of copper jewelry from the small bag and placed it on the table. He smiled and said, "Mom, do you still know this thing?"
After picking up a copper hairpin, the light of time seemed to pull her back twenty years ago. That year was the Shangyuan night of the 19th year of Kaihuang. She was only ten years old. Yuan Qing also bought her such a copper hairpin. Now her daughter is eleven years old.
Chuchen felt infinite emotion in his heart, and the years passed by, and she smiled gently, "Your father also bought a copper hairpin like this for his mother before."
"I know that in my mother's cabinet, there are two phoenix hairpins. Is that the love thing my father gave me?" Yang Bing lay on her mother's lap, with a pretty face tilted, and her bright eyes were filled with longing for the past.
"Nonsense! My mother was only ten years old at that time, and your father was only ten years old. I know how to be in love. Originally, your father promised to give me a gold hairpin, but he ended up using a copper hairpin to fool me."
Yang Bing whispered: "But in my mother's heart, it is more precious than gold, isn't it?"
Chuchen gently stroked his daughter's pretty face, and felt extremely pity in his heart. His daughter has grown up and become sensible.
...........
Yang Fangxin returned to her room. She still lived with her clan sister Jiang Peihua. Jiang Peihua is seven months pregnant and has gone to bed early. She doesn't know what happened tonight.
As soon as he entered the door, the little maid Yu'er came up to him, "The girl is back."
"Yeah! I'm really tired."
Yang Fangxin took off her outer clothes and handed it to her, "I'm going to wash up and rest. I'll say something tomorrow!"
Yu'er took the clothes and whispered, "I won't take me when I go out to play."
"You damn girl, am I not taking you? Where did you run away when I left?"
Yu'er scratched her head and smiled, "Actually, I've gone out to play, I've just come back."
"I know, you three-legged cat can stay where you can stay, and you must have sneaked out."
At this time, with a 'clang!', a copper hairpin fell from the outer sack and Yu'er bent down to pick it up, her eyes lit up, "What a delicate two phoenix hairpin, girl, give it to me!"
Yang Fangxin hurriedly snatched it over, "I can't give it to you, this is what Bing'er gave it to me."
"But... this is a copper hairpin, it is worthless and is not worthy of your identity."
"You have to care, go and prepare hot water."
Yu'er went out, Yang Fangxin raised the copper hairpin and looked at it for a while in the light. She couldn't help but sigh, "When will anyone give her such a copper hairpin?"
