Chapter 110 Zhuolong Garden
Before Yang Hu could respond, she turned her gaze back to the bronze mirror, her expression still so lonely and depressed, as if she had no love left in her life.
Yang Hu felt inexplicably heavy. He remembered that his sister used to be a very cheerful person, and her every smile was so bright and moving. But now, because of this marriage, she seems to be a different person.
, no more laughter.
Seeing her getting depressed day by day, Yang Hu felt inexplicably heartbroken. He wanted to do something to help his sister, but with his current status and identity, he was really powerless to change anything.
That's why Yang Hu took the initiative to find Cao Liang, hoping that Cao Liang would come forward to resolve the matter.
After all, after experiencing the turmoil in Beiman Mountain, Cao Liang was definitely involved. Although Yang Hu was not sure that Cao Liang would be able to help his sister, at least he was acting as a living doctor.
However, Cao Liang left a very deep impression on Yang Hu. In this world, there are not many people who dare to confront the Sima family, at least Cao Liang can be considered one of them.
Yang Hu did not dare to tell the truth to Yang Huiyu, but Yang Hu still had to find a way to trick her into going to Zhuolong Garden.
"Sister, it's not good for you to be so bored at home all the time. How about I go out with you for a walk? There is a garden party in Zhuolong Garden this afternoon. How about we go there to relax?"
Yang Huiyu frowned, shook his head gently and said, "Go on your own, I'm not in the mood."
Yang Hu was at a loss for words. This time he arranged for his sister to meet Cao Liang. He took great pains to persuade Cao Liang, but his sister had lost control again. How could he not be impatient.
Yang Hu rolled his eyes and thought about it, saying, "Sister, actually I want to ask you for help today. It is a matter of my brother's life. You can't just sit idly by."
Only then did Yang Huiyu come back to his senses and said, "What a life-long event, and what help do you need from me?"
Yang Hu said sarcastically: "It's like this. A few days ago, at the house of Xiahou Wei, the prefect of Chenliu, the prefect Xiahou had a very interesting conversation with me. He offered to betroth to me the daughter of his brother, Xiahou Ba, the military governor of the Western Expedition.
It was difficult to refuse, so I had to evade it and said that I would have to discuss it with my family before replying."
Yang Huiyu showed a slight smile on his face and said: "This is a good thing. I heard that the daughter of Xiahou's guard army is beautiful and virtuous. Uncle, if you can marry her, it will be a blessing."
Yang Hu curled his lips and said: "Most of the things you hear from hearsay are unreliable. I have never seen the young lady from the Xiahou family with my own eyes. She might look like a dominatrix. I heard that she will go to the garden party this afternoon.
, so I want to ask my sister to come forward and take a peek at her, so that I can check her for my brother. If you like me, sister, I will agree to Xiahou Prefect later. If my sister doesn't like her, I can easily refuse.
Got someone else."
Yang Hu really tried his best to trick Yang Huiyu into going out, but Xia Houwei's marriage proposal was not a lie. Xia Houwei saw that Yang Hu was not only well-dressed but also spoke well, and thought that he would become a great person in the future, so
He urged his niece to be betrothed to Yang Hu.
However, the incident of Miss Xiahou going to Zhuolong Garden was completely fabricated by Yang Hu. Only in this way could Yang Huiyu have the idea of going out. Otherwise, you would have just found eight horses.
, and may not be able to pull her.
Yang Huiyu was still worried about her own affairs, but after all, her brother's life-long event was also a matter of honor and disgrace for the Yang family, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
During the Han and Wei dynasties, the etiquette between men and women was not as strict as that of later generations, and the general customs were relatively open. In Luoyang, the capital, there were often garden parties to give young men and women a chance to get acquainted.
Therefore, Yang Huiyu did not have any doubts about Yang Hu's words. Instead, she had some expectations. She also wanted to see what her future sister-in-law would look like.
When Yang Hu saw that his sister had agreed, he was secretly overjoyed and went to prepare immediately. He and Cao Liang had an appointment at Youshi, but Yang Hu decided to leave early and rushed to Zhuolong Garden around Shenshi.
Yang Huiyu freshened up, put on light makeup, and changed clothes. After lunch, as Shen Shi was approaching, he and Yang Hu took a bus to Zhuolong Garden.
Zhuolong Garden was a royal garden in the Han Dynasty. It was destroyed along with Luoyang City during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. Later, Cao Wei established its capital in Luoyang and rebuilt it extensively. Although Zhuolong Garden has restored most of its landscape, it is not located in the Luoyang Imperial Palace.
It is within the scope of the garden, so it is no longer an imperial garden only for the emperor to play, but has become a gathering place for many young scholars and celebrities.
Although Zhuolong Garden does not explicitly prohibit ordinary people from entering, the scenery there is beautiful and the price of entry is already high. Ordinary people have difficulty in food and clothing, so how can they have spare money to travel around?
Most of the people who entered Zhuolong Garden were young men and women from scholarly families.
Garden parties in Zhuolong Garden are held every seventh day. On the seventh, seventeenth, and twenty-seventh day of each month, many scholars and talented women will gather here to read poems and discuss Taoism, talk about mysteries and scriptures, drink wine, compose poems, and sing songs.
Of course, the flowing water is nothing more than the young men and women you like, secretly expressing their feelings, and having trysts.
When Yang Hu and Yang Huiyu arrived at Zhuolong Garden, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun's shadow was slanting to the west. Most of the tourists in Zhuolong Garden had already returned home after enjoying themselves, so the large Zhuolong Garden seemed a bit empty.
.
Yang Huiyu seemed unwilling to join in the fun. After getting off the car, he only stayed in a place with few people. After all, it was inevitable that he would meet some acquaintances here, which would cause some embarrassment.
"Where did you and Miss Xiahou arrange to meet?" Yang Huiyu couldn't help but feel suspicious when he saw that most of the people in Zhuolong Garden were scholars, and there were not many female relatives.
Yang Hu scratched his head, looked around and said, "Xiahou Taishou promised that he would be in Zhuolong Garden. It's strange, why didn't he see it?"
Yang Huiyu asked: "Then the Xiahou Prefect told you at that time?"
Yang Hu shook his head and said: "I'm really not sure about this. Maybe the Xiahou Prefect told me, but I can't remember clearly."
Yang Huiyu said angrily and funny: "You are such a fool. You didn't even know the time, so you made an appointment to come here. Maybe Miss Xiahou has been waiting for you for a long time, but failed, and came back in anger. I don't think your marriage is a good one."
, 80% of it will be blown."
Seeing that the secret was not revealed, Yang Hu secretly took reassurance and said with a smile: "Marriage is destined by fate. It's mine and it can't escape. It's not mine. You can't ask for it. I haven't seen Miss Xiahou today. I can only talk about our fate.
Until it arrives, that’s all.”
Yang Huiyu said: "In that case, let's go back. Staying here is useless."
Upon hearing that Yang Huiyu was about to go back home, Yang Hu quickly stopped him and said: "No, sister, you finally came out for a while, it's just a good time to relax. The scenery of Zhuolong Garden is just right. If you walk around, maybe your mood will be better."
