Chapter 344 My father has not returned to Beijing for 3 or 4 years
Yun Tang smiled and didn't care about the old woman's intention to use words to get closer to him. He stood up with Yun Xuanmo, clasped his fists and bowed, which was considered as seeing the guest off.
The Duke of Yue and his wife stopped talking and hurried down the stone steps and left. Soon, Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo were the only ones left in the pavilion.
From the Wanghu Mountain House a little further away, you can hear some young girls talking and laughing, but it does not affect the tranquility here.
Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
"Originally I wanted to say that I was engaged to Ninth Senior Brother, but then I thought, what does this have to do with them? I also don't want to spread the news like this. I will have to explain it to many people later."
"Well, when the time comes, let Third Senior Brother issue an edict to grant the marriage, and we won't have to explain anything." Yun Xuanmo said with a smile.
Yun Tang nodded. Thinking about going back to Yong'an Marquis Mansion in a few days, she held Yun Xuanmo's hand and said expectantly, "Ninth Senior Brother, will you come back to the Marquis Mansion with me to celebrate the festival?"
Yun Xuanmo shook his head. Seeing her pout, he quickly explained, "I can only come to your house as your senior brother. Your festival is a family feast, so it would be inappropriate for me to go."
"Okay then." Yun Tang didn't want her ninth senior brother to be looked down upon. She yawned and leaned to the side. Her voice became softer, "I'm sleepy."
"Let's go back." Yun Xuanmo lowered his eyes to glance at her, and immediately asked worriedly, "Are you tired?"
"It's okay, much better than the eighth day. I just think it would be better after a good night's sleep." Yun Tang muttered.
Yun Xuanmo reached out and embraced Yun Tang. As soon as he walked out of the pavilion, he saw Xiao Ye and Jiang Yanlang running up to him. Yun Xuanmo...
"We are going back now. Please arrange to send your sisters back."
Yun Xuanmo explained to Xiao Ye and the others on behalf of Yun Tang. After all, it was Yun Tang who asked them to pick up their sisters and bring them to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Xiao Ye and Jiang Yanlang, who were running in the front, immediately noticed Yun Tang who seemed a little listless and hurried over.
"Got it. We will make arrangements. Are you tired, Junior Master?"
"Sister, please find a place to rest before going back. It's too tiring." Jiang Yanlang suggested quickly.
There are many empty rooms in Prince Yan's Mansion, and most of the guests have left by now, so it is not difficult to find a quiet place to rest and sleep.
Yuntang shook her head, straightened her body and stopped lying in Ninth Senior Brother's arms. She looked at Jiang Yanlang, and Jiang Yanyu and the others behind them.
"I will go back to the mansion on the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After dinner, I will go to the street to see the lanterns. I will not go back to the mansion at night."
She had agreed to go back to celebrate the festival, but she just wanted to go back for a family dinner. She had already met her brothers and sisters several times, and it wasn't like she had just returned to Beijing.
She made the arrangements in advance, and the Marquis' Mansion also had an idea of it.
Jiang Yanlang was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.
My sister is so busy, Qingfeng Palace is her home, right?
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head dejectedly.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Jiang Yanyu agreed.
Yuntang then instructed Xiao Ye to send Mingxi and the others back to the palace safely, and then he walked down the flower slope with Yun Xuanmo.
Watching them walk down the flower slope and away, Xiao Ye suddenly remembered that he had not yet arranged a carriage to send Junior Uncle and Ninth Uncle back. Of course, he had to send them back since he had picked them up from Qingfeng Palace.
Xiao Ye shouted and chased after him.
The others did not follow, but just stood outside the pavilion and looked at the figure in the distance. Suddenly, Qin Mingyang sighed, "The young Taoist seems... not as energetic as before."
"I heard that in this battle in the Western Territory, both armies will compete in Taoist mystical arts, and there will be demons rampant in the Western Territory. The elites of the Azure Dragon Guards have all been sent out, and our master has also brought the Royal Guards to help."
Jiang Yanyu opened his mouth and roughly explained what Yuntang had said that day.
Others only knew that Yuntang was leaving the capital to go to the western border for a mission, but they didn't know many specific details. The Jiang brothers and the Xiao brothers heard about it from Yuntang in Prince Cheng's mansion.
This is also the reason why Yuntang explained why he became weak and listless.
Everyone sighed for a while, and Qin Mingyang sighed again: "My father hasn't been back to Beijing for three or four years."
He didn't go back to Beijing, nor did he go home. He was only twelve years old when he saw his father off, and his sixteenth birthday is almost here this year.
If he had not started learning Taoism, he had originally planned to go to the Western Territory to fight on the battlefield this year.
Since his eldest brother could be a young general, he didn't have high demands and was willing to be a young general second only to his eldest brother.
But now he is not obsessed with becoming a general. He wants to be a powerful Taoist master and guard the western border with his father in the future. He will not be afraid of any Taoist masters from the enemy army!
But... speaking of the war in the west, he was naturally worried about and missed his father.
Zhou Nan and Zhang Cheng'an patted his shoulders from left to right and consoled him: "The Western Territory is stable. Maybe your father will return to Beijing to report on his work soon."
Lin Changsheng leaned against the stone pillar of the pavilion, looked up at the sky in the distance, and suddenly said with longing:.
"After we have learned a little in a year or two, we can ask Master to take us out of the capital to gain some experience, and go to the Western Territory first!"
In this way, even if Duke Ping has not returned to the capital, they can still go to the western border military camp for a walk.
Among a group of young men squatting or sitting on the grass on the flower slope, Song Tian was also staring at the sky in a daze.
When he heard Lin Changsheng's proposal, his eyes narrowed slightly, his lips pursed, and he thought about it, but he said nothing.
His father, Marquis Wuwei, also went to the southwest army last winter, and his mother, Princess Huiyuan, also followed him to the southwest with his younger brothers and sisters.
He was the only one in the capital, and he spent the New Year at his grandfather's house. He was reluctant to go back home on weekdays. Sometimes he stayed in the palace, and sometimes he stayed at the Third Prince's house.
If he didn't have many friends around him every day, he wouldn't know how he would get through his lonely days.
The young men talked about their desire to travel outside Beijing in the future.
Yuntang didn't say hello to Mingxi and the others, and went out of the third gate of Prince Yan's Mansion with Yun Xuanmo.
After coming to an open room in the front yard and drinking a cup of tea and waiting for a while, Xiao Ye had already arranged for a carriage to stop outside the second gate. They got on the carriage and left directly.
On the way back to the palace, Yun Tang leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery of the Imperial Street outside, muttering, "Senior Brother Nine hasn't taken me out to play for a long time."
Before leaving Beijing a few years ago, they took a casual walk on the street, but it was not satisfying enough.
Yun Xuanmo heard her complaining tone and said with a smile: "There will be many opportunities in the future."
Yuntang turned around, met his eyes, and suddenly smiled, feeling happy at once.
Yes, she has grown up. She no longer needs to stay in the East Territory and the capital city respectively. She also doesn't have to look forward to him returning to Qingfeng Temple to celebrate the New Year every winter. They can celebrate the New Year at home in the capital city!
The carriage stopped at the palace gate. Yun Xuanmo carried Yun Tang back to Qingfeng Palace and saw his third senior brother standing on the platform in front of Ziwei Pavilion, looking at the sky in the south.
They looked at each other and walked over quickly.
