The Lady of Guo State, Guo, was already fifty years old. Wang Maozhong was not a slave by a criminal official back then and served Li Longji for many years. Now he is the best official. However, Guo was the Yuan wife he married when he was in a low position, so naturally he could not be regarded as a very good-looking palace servant. He used to be a palace servant in the house of the Linzi County Prince.

She and Wang Maozhong have three sons and two daughters, but Li Longji married Wang Maozhong's wife, the wife of Huo Guo, whom Li, who was married to Wang Maozhong in the early years of Kaiyuan, now has two sons and one daughter. A daughter she had just given birth to was quite favored by Wang Maozhong when she was still in her infancy. Therefore, she naturally couldn't worry about her eldest son Wang Shouzhen's request.

Two wives and legitimate wife are rare in ancient times, but they are not uncommon in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Maozhong has only one title. If one does not fall into the hands of the sons of Li in the future, how will she and her children survive?

So, since the Yang family's ox cart came out of the house today, she was secretly staring at it. She "stumbled" in front of the lamp market in the West City. She used a trick to make the Yang family rush to her. When the Yang sisters got off the car in panic, they apologized, she appeared happily, but not only did not care, but also started chatting with the two. Who knew that Chen Baoer suddenly came out, and she wanted to mess with Du Shiyi's disciple, but who knew that the young man was not old but was very tight, and he was respectful and could not ask a word next to him. Even the Yu Nu kept yawning, which made her very upset.

Therefore, when Yang Yuyao was smart enough to send Chen Baoer and Yu Nu away, she had just asked something from her and didn't stop her. She allowed Yang Yuyao to volunteer to accompany her to enjoy the lantern market. Compared to the carriage of the Yang family, her carriage was naturally more luxurious and spacious. After taking Yang Yuyao on the bus, she just looked around and looked at her, looking at her and looking at her in a singing look, and she knew how handsome the Yang family lady was. She could not wink at the confidant maid who followed the car.

"Does the little lady want to eat cherries?"

Seeing the maid leaning down and holding a box of clean cherries that had been washed up by Yuyu, Yang Yuyao was shocked. Although there was a leap month last year and the winter weather was warm, it was said that cherries would be on the market earlier than in previous years, but they have not seen a little bit on the market yet. Faced with her surprise, Guo Guo, the Lady Guo, just said lightly: "This is a cherry produced in the Forbidden Garden, which was just awarded today."

"General Wang has indeed received the holy favor."

Yang Yuyao said this, and when she carefully picked up one and put it into her mouth, the sour and sweet smell spread in an instant. She couldn't help but feel envious. The Yang family said that they were officials, but they were not wealthy. At least, even if they bought the first to try it out during the season when cherries were first launched, it was impossible. At most, they would buy some for the tooth sacrifice at the cheapest time. Although she went to Beijing this time and said she was here to get married, she was not very interested in her fiancé's Langjun.

Although the surname Pei is a big surname, there are hundreds of people with the surname Pei in Chang'an City. How many are truly prominent? At least, it does not include her husband's family.

Therefore, Yang Yuyao, who was precocious, secretly decided to catch the goodwill expressed by Guo's wife Guo. When Guo asked Yu Nu with interest how he became Du Shiyi's disciple, she smiled and ordered Du Shiyi's brother Yang Zhao to send the Yu Nu who had sneaked out. Then her cousin Yang Shubing rushed to the Chengdu County Party Committee to get closer. Later, Du Shiyi accepted Yu Nu and taught the pipa to his disciple, etc., and told the truth. Seeing that Guo was amazed, she smiled and smiled.

"Du Buque loves Yu Nu very much. He gives gifts during festivals and festivals. This time he gets married, he also specially asked someone to come to Shuzhong to pick her up."

"At first sight just now, he was indeed a cute child with pink makeup." Guo praised according to Yang Yuyao's tone, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, so he asked with a smile on his face, "By the way, I don't know if your sister has a marriage?"

Yang Yuyao really didn't expect Guo to suddenly ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment before shook her head hesitantly and said, "It should... not yet."

"I see."

Guo became more and more determined. After nodding, he nodded and stopped asking about Yu Nu's affairs. He just chatted about something. But the more she did this, the more uneasy Yang Yuyao felt nervous and cheered up and walked around for a long time. When she saw that it was almost ugly, she finally got tired and couldn't hold on. At this time, Guo smiled and said, "It will be dawn in a while. You are still young, don't stay up late. Besides, the elders and brothers and sisters in the family must be worried. Go back early. It's a fate to meet this hairpin today. I'll give it to you, just treat it as a gift for meeting."

Seeing the hairpin handed to him, Yang Yuyao couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment. The yellow red gold hairpin, various gems the size of fingernails, and the South China Sea pearls the size of fingernails, were decorated into a lifelike peacock. At first glance, it was dazzling.

She had never received such a gift before. At this moment, she refused in a hurry and fearless manner, but Guo only shook her head and asked her to accept it. She naturally thanked her. Get off the car and returned to her car. She still couldn't believe her great luck. She opened her hands and stared at the hairpin and looked at it again and again, and then she was sure that she was not dreaming.

"This is the real glorious..."

After watching Yang Yuyao's car travel far, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When she returned to the Duke Huo in Xingningfang, she got off the car, Wang Shouzhen walked forward in three or two steps, reached out to help her get out of the car. After entering the door, he saw that there were no other idle people around, and then asked in a low voice: "My mother, what's the matter?"

"Your mother is going to do it, and that girl who is not as good as the stinky girl is still ready to take advantage of her?" Seeing that Wang Shouzhen was so happy, Guo said with a stern face, "Don't just be happy, just go into the house and talk to me."

However, as soon as the mother and son entered the room and sat down, Guo spoke out his plan. Wang Shouzhen was immediately furious and jumped up: "What? Mother, how could you think of such an idea? No, that Mao girl who was waiting for the defeat to settle down, only Du Shijiu and others would be a treasure. How could our Wang family marry such a wife?"

"Stop, do you think I'm for whom or not for you?" Guo shouted loudly. Seeing Wang Shouzhen was discouraged and guilty, she smiled and said, "Everyone said this is a plan. Since Du Shijiu is so tight, he has an old grudge with you. He will let others marry into our family? Since he refuses, he will always use all kinds of methods. At that time, we have a good plan, waiting for the rabbit, and not worrying that he will not fall into our palms. Besides, it is your second wife's son, and not your brother of your mother and fellow compatriots. If there is really something, it is not our turn to worry about it. Why are you anxious?"

"Then" Although Wang Shouzhen was still a little reluctant, he thought that this was a good idea, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's do it according to what my grandmother said. Should I tell my grandmother about this matter, or...

"Your grandpa asked you to think of an idea, so of course you will go and say it." Seeing that Wang Shouzhen couldn't wait, Guo jumped up and walked out. She quickly grabbed him with quick eyes and hands. "Remember, make things softer. If your grandpa doesn't want to, just say... Well, just say Yang in Hezhong comes from Yang in Hongnong. Although his relationship is far away, I heard that the Yang family is now having some contact with the wife of Chu. Even if it really makes a mistake, they can still have some relationship with Concubine Hui in the palace. Anyway, we won't suffer any losses. Otherwise, your grandpa wants to know that you are plotting against your second mother and her sons, and you will definitely be scolded again."

Wang Shouzhen gave his mother a thumbs up in surprise, bowed and thanked her, and turned around and went like a gust of wind. After he stood in front of Wang Maozhong and repeated the idea, he had no confidence in front of his mother at all. He carefully observed Wang Maozhong's face and emphasized his mother's last arguments.

"Well, I understand, you go." Wang Maozhong gave an answer without any comment. Seeing that Wang Shouzhen was not giving up at first, but opened his mouth but did not dare to disobey. Finally, he went away with a bad mood. He couldn't help but sneer repeatedly. As soon as the person left, he slapped the handrail with anger. "You dare to take such a woman's idea as her own and show off in front of me."

No matter how angry he was, after weighing the pros and cons, Wang Maozhong had to admit that the most toxic woman's heart was indeed a good idea. The only risk was probably to take advantage of a son born to him and Li. But even so, he did know that Wu Huifei had some concern for Yang Xuanyan and Yang Xuanqi brothers, which was an opportunity to approach him and show his goodwill.

"Since you can't make it clear, let's try this idea for women."

Carrying such a valuable hairpin, Yang Yuyao naturally didn't want to go home at once. She ordered her servants to carry her around the lit streets, until the Yin hour was almost here, and then she returned to her uncle's private house in Chang'an with extreme fatigue and excitement. However, when the car entered the gate and turned from the Cross Street into the Cross Street next to it, the coachman and follower in front suddenly exclaimed. Then, she heard a voice.

"Is the third lady of the Yang family in the car?"

Yang Yuyao calmed down, opened the curtain of the car, and asked arrogantly: "Who are you waiting for? You dare to stop my car? The door is imminent. Even if you are not afraid of provoking Wuhou in Fangzhong, aren't you afraid of provoking Yang's family?

Seeing Yang Yuyao so old-fashioned, Chibi couldn't help but laugh, but said respectfully: "I was asking for it on my master's order. The head of the family Du Buque is now meeting Mr. Yang in the noble house. It was just because I had been waiting for a long time that I was ordered to come out to see if the third lady is back."

Yang Yuyao's momentum, which was finally bulging, was immediately purified like a ball, and replaced by indescribable fear. When she entered the house, she finally calmed down and followed the person into her uncle's study. However, facing Du Shiyi's scrutiny of her gaze like a sharp knife, she couldn't help but look away in fear, and then she hurriedly saluted.

"Sanniang, what's wrong with you, I asked Balang to send you and Yu Nu out to watch the lanterns, but you actually sent him away halfway? Do you know how many cases will happen in just three nights when watching the lanterns of the two capitals on the Yuan Dynasty? If there is a case, how will you explain?" Yang Xuanqi didn't like Yang Yuyao very much, and felt that she was too worldly at a young age. Today, she became more and more annoyed. "Also, I just entrusted Yu Nu to take him away casually. Chen Xiaolangjun was still young and didn't take him to his subordinates. As a sister, you don't know how to feel sorry for your sister."

After being drunk one after another by his uncle, Yang Yuyao felt tears flowing in her eyes. She sent Yang Shu away. It was inevitable that Yang Shu would come back to complain, but Yu Nu followed Chen Baoer to the Du family. This was what Yu Nu wanted. Du Shiyi should be happy to see her. But he ran to the Yang family to sue her. What's going on? Now, and then, she was willing to learn the pipa from Du Shiyi, but Du Shiyi ignored her at all. Not only did she tell Yang Shu, but she also directly turned her out. Is she so annoying?

With this grievance, her tears quickly fell down, and she sobbed continuously. Yang Xuanqi felt embarrassed when she saw this, but Yuyao was her niece and not his daughter. She was too harsh in front of the guests but not good. He was a little embarrassed for a moment. But at this moment, Du Shiyi next to him spoke again.

"Brother Yang, it happened that Baoer came back and mentioned to me that the third lady met Mrs. Guoguo in the lantern market. I have a few words to ask her separately, but I wonder if it is convenient?"

Lady Guo? Now among the noble ladies who have the title of Lady Guo in Chang'an City, the only one with the title of Lady Guo in the city seems to be Wang Maozhong's Yuan wife Guo. So, Du Shiyi came here specially for this?

Yang Xuanqi didn't know what conflicts there were between Wang Maozhong and Du Shiyi, but he knew that some things in the court were not strong enough to consider for the time being. If Yang Yuyao was really young and ignorant, it would be a huge trouble. So he didn't want to stand up and nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Du Buque asked Yuyao, I'll avoid it first."

Seeing that Yang Xuanqi had really left and avoided Du Shiyi's words, Yang Yuyao couldn't stop sobbing, but she couldn't help but feel anxious. Especially when Du Shiyi slowly came to her and stood there, the pressure above her head was coming to her face. She couldn't help but have some teeth fighting. While taking a step back, her hands unknowingly covered her chest. But because of the movements, the golden hairpin in her arms fell to the ground for it. One of the pearls fell down, and suddenly she didn't know where it rolled down.

But at this moment, Yang Yuyao had no time to pay attention to the golden hairpin. Du Shiyi squatted down in front of her, reached out to pick up the hairpin, and then looked at her for a while. When he withdrew his gaze on the thing and stared at her directly, Yang Yuyao finally plucked up the courage to ask, "What do you want to ask me about Du Buque?"

"Can the third lady explain the origin of this hairpin?"

Yang Yuyao couldn't help but feel a sudden jump. But when she thought that she had already hidden her hairpin in her arms when she got off from the car of Guo Lady Guo, she didn't see it, so she simply said nonsense: "This is what I bought at a vendor in the lantern market today."

"Oh?" Du Shiyi's face remained motionless and handed the hairpin to Yang Yuyao. "In addition to the one that just dropped, there are four South China Sea pearls, eight gems of various colors, plus the price of red gold and labor costs. Such a hairpin is worth at least 800 guan."

"Then...so what, someone else is in a hurry to take off..."

"The third lady asked me to finish my words." Du Shiyi turned the hairpin around and let Yang Yuyao see a record at the end. "This mark means that this hairpin is made from the inner world and is a tribute made by His Majesty. And it is very new, it should be something that has been created in the past two years. If it is bought in the lamp market, it means a thief lawsuit. Does the third lady know the importance of it?"

Seeing that Du Shiyi was so difficult, Yang Yuyao had almost bitten her red lips and bleeding. As a last resort, she said softly: "It was the meeting gift she gave me today when she met Lady Guoguo."

"Since it's a meeting ceremony, why can't you tell me clearly?" Du Shiyi's eyes suddenly turned sharply and asked word by word, "What did you say to Lady Guoguo?"

After being violently hit again and again, Yang Yuyao finally couldn't help it anymore. She stopped sobbing and raised her head suddenly and shouted, "It's Yu Nu again, she is my sister. Will I still hurt her? I just accompanied Mrs. Guo to watch the lanterns and talked for a while, just told her how Yu Nu worshiped you under your door, and didn't say anything else, so what happened to Mrs. Guo gave me a golden hairpin as a meeting gift? Maybe I liked me, maybe I felt like a favor..."

"No matter what, the Yang family in Hezhong was once a famous family. Wang Maozhong was called the Northern Gate slave. He was born in Goguryeo and was a slave of the emperor after his crime. Even though the imperial edict was at its highest level, his former low-ranking background and his knowledge was not ordinary. She would fall in love with you at first sight, and even had a golden hairpin worth 800 yuan at one's action?" A rebellious question left Yang Yuyao speechless, but Du Shiyi took another step forward, "And you only know that Wang Maozhong was the General of the Cavalry, and was awarded the title of Duke of Huo, and was appointed as the Duke of Kaifu Yitong and the Third Session. Do you know that his eldest son had sent someone to rob me and had a great revenge on life and death with me?"

Yang Yuyao couldn't resist it. When Du Shiyi said the last sentence, she finally turned pale and took several steps backwards, muttering to herself in disbelief: "How is it possible, how is it possible... She asked me so kindly and kindly, and asked me if Yu Nu was married..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a sudden severity of pain in her wrist. When she came to her senses, she found that she had been dragged to Du Shiyi. Under the chilling gaze, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had poured down from her head, and her body felt cold all over.

"How did you answer her?"

"I...I..." Yang Yuyao was so precocious, so her mind was much sharper than that of ordinary peers. At this moment, she had already guessed a little, but she didn't know how to speak. When she felt the hand holding her wrist suddenly increased its strength, she cried out in pain and then said wailingly, "I just answered truthfully that she hadn't said yet, and she said nothing else..."

"It was the Lady of Guo State who did not ask more questions in order to avoid arousing suspicion."

Du Shiyi let go of his hand angrily. Seeing Yang Yuyao sitting on the ground involuntarily, he burst into tears. He couldn't help but feel both annoyed and bored. Although to be fair, it cannot be entirely blamed for Yang Yuyao, but Mrs. Guo Guo had other intentions. If Yang Yuyao had not taken the initiative to come up and show her diligence, why would she have made a smooth decision? Compared to Yunu's coquettish and cuteness, he had never liked Yang Yuyao very much, but felt that she was too sophisticated and precocious. Today, she was very attentive to face Mrs. Guo Guo's deliberate show of kindness and flattery, which made this point unquestionably reveal.

"Since you are the elder sister of Yu Nu, I will remind you one last time. Don't be self-righteous in the future. Those high-ranking officials and nobles are not vegetarians and will not show kindness to you for no reason."

Holding the golden hairpin in his hand, Du Shiyi didn't look at Yang Yuyao who was sitting on the ground crying and walked straight out. After leaving the study, he saw that there was no one outside the door, and in the farther yard, Yang Xuanqi was paced back and forth, and when he found him, he seemed to be stunned. He walked forward without saying anything else, but spread his hands and sent the golden hairpin to Yang Xuanqi.

"This is……"

"It was the Lady of Guo State who gave it to the third lady." Du Shiyi was shocked when she saw Yang Xuanqi suddenly, took the hairpin and looked around, and his face became more and more serious. He said, "The so-called encounter between Mrs. Guo State tonight is probably because the drunken man's intention is not to drink. There is one thing I might as well tell Brother Yang that I was robbed and killed on the way back to Chang'an from the east capital to participate in the Jingzhao Mansion test, saying that it was caused by the old hatred of the people in the Yulin Guard. But in fact, it was Wang Shouzhen, the eldest son of Wang Maozhong, and Liu Ximing, the nephew of Liu Jieyu, the envoy."

This was even clearer than what he said to Yang Yuyao just now. Yang Xuanqi understood it all at once, and he secretly complained in his heart. Wang Maozhong is now in the limelight, and Du Shiyi may be able to withstand it, but how can the Yang family resist it? Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. But this feeling was just as soon as it emerged and was overwhelmed by another sentence from Du Shiyi.

"If what I expected was not bad, the Wang family would come to ask Yang for marriage within one or two days. I wonder how Brother Yang would make a decision?"

"This..." Yang Xuanqi felt that his head was about to explode. After thinking hard for a long time, he finally had to smile bitterly, "The person who tied the bell must be untied. Please ask Du Buque to teach me."

"It's very simple, leave it to me, and then..."

Du Shiyi whispered a few words to Yang Xuanqi. Seeing that he was hesitant, he strengthened his tone and said: "If Brother Yang only saw that Wang's current fire is now cooking oil and flowers, he thought that this gloriousness was permanent, and that would be a big mistake. Until Kaiyuan, there were only four officials who were in Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, two of them were Yao and Song, but they were both after they were dismissed from prime ministers. In addition, they were the father of the deposed queen Wang, and Wang Maozhong. Rongpeng was so far away, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself and keep a low profile, but he became more arrogant and arrogant. Do you think this kind of wealth and glory can really last for a long time?"
