Chapter 206: One hundred ways to use your sister to make a nest!

A hard night's work.

It was not until noon that Yang Wenyuan slowly woke up.

Had lunch.

Yang Wenyuan was stunned at the dining table for a moment.

For a moment he didn't know where to go.

Go study?
Yang Wenyuan now treats them like worn-out shoes, and hates the classics of the saints even more. It is impossible for him to read them.

So what else is there to do?

After much thought, Yang Wenyuan decided to take a nap first.

It turns out.

Once people have free time, they are truly free.

Yang Wenyuan slept until the sun set. After getting up, he had a quick dinner and then continued to think about what he should do tomorrow.

Yang Wenyuan thought about it for a long time, but by the time Hualan finished washing up, he still hadn't figured it out.

"Forget it, I'll think about it tomorrow!"

With the beautiful jade in his arms, Yang Wenyuan chose to leave the decision to his future self.

This cycle repeated for several days, and Yang Wenyuan, with dark circles under his eyes, finally got it!

Is this the agony of waiting for test results?

When the night was quiet, Yang Wenyuan finally made up his mind to cheer himself up.

Men must pursue a career!
However, when the beautiful woman's arms suddenly rested on his chest, Yang Wenyuan hesitated for a moment and sighed:
"This is really the last time!"

He immediately threw back the quilt and mounted his horse.

"Hmm~!"

Early the next morning.

Yang Wenyuan pulled his body out of the land of gentleness early, tidied himself up, and began to practice martial arts diligently.

In order to stay focused and not disturb Hualan's sleep, Yang Wenyuan did not practice in Zize's courtyard, but came to the martial arts field after a long absence.

The result was that he suddenly bumped into Yang Yuqing.

Facing Yang Yuqing's face full of sympathy and understanding, Yang Wenyuan just felt uncomfortable all over.

Uncle, we are really not taking the same route!

But thinking about Yang Yuqing's concern for him since childhood, and taking Yang Yuqing's face into consideration, Yang Wenyuan could only swallow his grievances!

After a morning of vigorous exercise, Yang Wenyuan broke out in a sweat after a long time.

After a quick wash, the two of them went to the training room for a medicinal bath.

They are all grown men, with nothing to hide, so they each took a bucket and took a comfortable bath.

Of course, it was boring to just sit there, so Yang Wenyuan and Yang Yuqing started chatting.

Let’s first talk about the war in Lingzhou.

There was no major battle over there, but there were constant minor frictions. Even Yang Wenyan led his team to attack several times, and the battle reports sent back showed a lot of gains.

However, Yang Wenyuan estimated that most of Yang Wenyan’s heads were probably “picked up”.

Then the topic turned to the hotly debated dispute between legitimate and illegitimate children in the court.

The uncle and nephew agree on this:
"No matter how the Prince of Yong and the Prince of Yan fight, the Yang family will always follow the emperor."

Yang Wenyuan secretly added in his heart:
"Perhaps none of them will be able to become..."

As for Prince Yong and Prince Yan, Yang Wenyuan did not want any of them to come to power from the bottom of his heart, not even Zhao Zongquan of Yuzhou.

After all, no matter who among them comes to power, they will definitely be displeased when they see a young and promising marquis like myself.

For the sake of his future happy life, Yang Wenyuan still holds on to his original point of view.

How can an adult with unfathomable majesty be better than a child?

It would be nice even if Empress Cao took over the government!
With this premise, Yang Wenyuan was extremely willing to see Prince Yan rebel!

With the experience of his previous life, Yang Wenyuan naturally hoped that Qi Heng, the fuse, would continue to play his original role stably.

After passing the scientific examination, Yang Wenyuan could no longer look at problems with the same perspective as before.

So the career that Yang Wenyuan intends to pursue is——

Take Qi Heng to the polo field to play polo every day!
At the same time, Yang Wenyuan also planned to let Hualan hold more gatherings for noble families and invite the Rong family, the Yongwang family, and the Qi family.

Yang Wenyuan was quite aware of Qi Heng's charm, which was on par with his own!

Coupled with this family background, he is like a firefly in the night. Even if he does not take the initiative, others will approach him because of his appearance, family background and other reasons.

Yang Wenyuan had already imagined the scene of himself stepping on Prince Yan and holding the blood edict in his hand.

But at this time, Yang Yuqing suddenly said:

"But yesterday, Princess Pingning suddenly handed your aunt a name card, inviting your aunt and your cousin to visit her home tomorrow..."

"Ah?" Yang Wenyuan was stunned.

What do you mean?
Isn't Princess Pingning always arrogant and rarely invites others to visit her Duke Qi's mansion? How can my aunt have such a good relationship with her?

"You find it strange too?"

Yang Yuqing in the bathtub opposite also stroked his beard that had fallen into the potion and said slowly:
"Our family is not that close to hers, and we have only talked for a while outside the Imperial Examination Hall these days. Why did you suddenly call your aunt and Rujin over?"

Generally speaking, when a family that you are not familiar with suddenly invites your female relatives to visit their home, it is usually for a specific purpose.

Either the two masters were about to have an intersection in official circles, so they used the ladies' diplomacy in advance, or they had something to ask for help. However, Yang Yuqing and Madam Chen racked their brains, but could not figure out why Princess Pingning suddenly sent them a visiting card.

The two families have no intersection at all!
"Did Princess Pingning give Hualan her name card?"

"Probably not, otherwise Hualan would have informed me in advance."

"That's weird."

Yang Yuqing looked puzzled:
"Could it be that they think we are all on the side of the government, so they want the two families to get closer? But I haven't seen them invite us individually before."

This is why Yang Yuqing became suspicious.

According to the information that Madam Chen had learned, Princess Pingning did not invite anyone else this time but only herself. Now from what Yang Wenyuan saw, even Hualan was not invited. Why was that?

Yang Wenyuan's expression gradually became stiff.

No way?
"I just set my sights on your son, and you're targeting my sister?"

Eliminate all the impossible and whatever remains, no matter how impossible, is the truth.

Yang Wenyuan thought about it over and over again, and could only come up with the incredible answer with difficulty:
Is Princess Pingning attracted to Yang Rujin?

The more Yang Wenyuan thought about it, the more it made sense.

After all, the two families are of similar status, and Yang Rujin is of similar age, too, and will be an adult in just over a year. Princess Pingning can definitely afford to wait, and this move can also help her get closer to the official family.

Viewed this way, it makes perfect sense.

Yang Wenyuan immediately became anxious.

He didn't want his sister to live under the rule of Princess Pingning for the rest of her life. If she met such a stubborn mother-in-law, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her life after marriage would be miserable.

Yang Wenyuan immediately told Yang Yuqing his guess.

After Yang Yuqing thought about it, he also felt that it made sense.

But at the same time, his reaction was the same as Yang Wenyuan's. He was not very happy about marrying Yang Rujin into the Qi family.

Although Yang Yuqing thought Qi Heng was a good guy, he was not happy because he was too weak and was afraid that he could not protect his wife.

He immediately stood up and went home to talk to Madam Chen about how to politely decline this marriage proposal.

"Hi~!"

Yang Wenyuan was talking to Yang Yuqing face to face, but Yang Yuqing suddenly stood up. Yang Wenyuan felt his eyes were burning and he quickly turned his head away. Don't look at what's inappropriate, don't look at what's inappropriate!

"You've never been to a military camp." Yang Yuqing was disdainful of Yang Wenyuan's fuss.

Yang Wenyuan was unable to refute.

After Yang Yuqing put on his clothes, he turned around and said:
"Uncle, when you go, you won't ask your aunt to go and talk to Princess Pingning directly, right?"

"almost."

"This is absolutely not allowed!"

Yang Wenyuan had just figured out how to trick Qi Heng out to show off with Princess Pingning's consent, so he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he quickly said:
"You're just saying it straight, what if it's not true?"

Yang Yuqing looked at Yang Wenyuan as if he was looking at a fool:

"Your aunt will naturally consider this. If your aunt realizes that it is not a date, will she still say something nonsense?"

Yang Wenyuan knew that he was anxious and his words were a little incoherent, but he still said:
"Uncle, even if you find out that it's a date, can you and aunt not rush to refuse?"

"Hmm?" Yang Yuqing looked at Yang Wenyuan as if he were a scum.

Yang Wenyuan saw that Yang Yuqing had misunderstood, and quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, uncle, you misunderstood. I have other considerations."

"Then tell me." Yang Yuqing withdrew his hands that were about to overturn the bathtub.

Yang Wenyuan didn't dare to say that he wanted to take advantage of the situation and use his sister as a pretext. If he said that, Yang Yuqing would probably use himself as a pretext in the moat first.

Yang Wenyuan's mind was working at high speed:
"I can't say anything else. I can only say that Qi Heng has someone in his heart for a long time, and my sister knows it too. Uncle, you don't have to worry."

"That kid from the Qi family already has a sweetheart?"

Yang Yuqing knew that Yang Wenyuan and Qi Heng were both studying at the Sheng Family Academy, and he heard that the girl from the Sheng Family was also studying at the academy, so...

"Which girl from the Sheng family is it?" Yang Yuqing asked.

Seeing this, Yang Wenyuan smiled awkwardly.

Although he knew that Yang Yuqing was tight-lipped, he couldn't tell this to anyone else, so he just said:

"Uncle, please don't guess. Just know that this matter has nothing to do with my sister."

Yang Wenyuan now felt a bit of a headache and reminded Yang Yuqing.

But he did not regret it. After all, if Yang Yuqing and his wife did not know about it and finally agreed to the marriage between the two families, then Yang Wenyuan, who knew everything, would have to jump into the river and make a nest himself.

Yang Yuqing knew that Yang Wenyuan had always been scheming, but this matter concerned the Duke of Qi's Mansion after all, so he immediately reminded him:
"You are now the head of the Yang family. Your every word and action represents the reputation of the Yang family. It's okay if your aunt and I don't interfere, but you have to be careful in what you do, otherwise it will bring shame to both families."

"Yes, nephew knows the importance of this matter." Yang Wenyuan nodded.

Yang Yuqing nodded:
"Then I'll go talk to your aunt and give her a heads up."

After watching Yang Yuqing leave, Yang Wenyuan withdrew his gaze.

The sudden appearance of Princess Pingning really caught Yang Wenyuan off guard.

But that’s fine too.

Using Yang Rujin's name would provide many conveniences for Yang Wenyuan's plan.

But this is just Yang Wenyuan's guess.

The specific situation will depend on what Madam Chen and Yang Ruijin say when they go to Duke Qi’s Mansion tomorrow.

The next day was still the same.

In the evening, Yang Ruijin came to the door in a hurry.

"How is it?" Yang Wenyuan asked as soon as he saw Yang Ruijin.

"What else?"

Yang Rujin said with a bitter face:

"When my mother and I arrived today, we saw the princess and the young master in the front hall."

Yang Wenyuan nodded contentedly.

Listening to what Yang Ruijin said, I thought my guess must be correct. Isn't this a blind date?

No wonder Yang Ruijin looked so upset.

Yang Wenyuan was afraid that she had fallen in love with Qi Heng, so he urgently informed her about Minglan and Qi Heng in private yesterday.

Yang Rujin and Minglan have always had a good relationship, but now she is suddenly facing Qi Heng. She must be feeling very awkward.

"But cousin, since we all know about this, why don't you tell the princess directly?"

Yang Rujin looked innocent:
"Cousin, you have already married my sister-in-law. The princess loves the young master so much that she will definitely agree."

"What do you know?"

Yang Wenyuan was too lazy to explain to Yang Ruijin. Yang Ruijin had already completed the task, so he waved his hand and said:

"Little brat, go home and eat."

Yang Ruijin, who was betrayed after crossing the river, was very angry and ran to Hualan to complain.

Soon.

Yang Rujin, feeling that he had found a backer, came back, followed by Hua Lan, who looked helpless.

'How come this pair of siblings are even more noisy than my own brothers and sisters?'

There is plenty of grass in spring.

She hadn't been in the mood to take care of it some time ago, and she hadn't had time to take care of it a few days ago. Now that she had some time, she was pulled in by Yang Ruijin to be the judge.

"You came just in time."

Yang Wenyuan waited for Hua Lan to come closer and asked:
"Is there going to be a polo match organized by Madam Wu in the next few days?"

Why must it be done by Madam Wu?
It was really because the polo clubs hosted by others were too low-end, and most of the noble families were unwilling to lower their status to attend the club. If they wanted to bring Qi Heng, Rong Feiyan, and Princess Jiacheng together, they had to have Madam Wu.

Hua Lan thought for a moment and shook her head:
"No, there was one held a few days ago before the imperial examination. There shouldn't be any more in the near future."

Yang Wenyuan nodded silently, then looked at Yang Ruijin next to him.

"Sister, do you want to have a polo party and go out for fun?"

Yang Rujin had seen this malicious expression from his cousin many times, so he immediately showed his vigilance and said:
"I do want to, but..."

"No buts!"

Yang Wenyuan waved his hand:
"Tomorrow, let your sister-in-law talk to Madam Wu about organizing a polo match in the near future!"

Hua Lan immediately looked embarrassed:

"Mrs. Wu's polo clubs are mostly for men and women to meet each other. If you want to hold one on the spur of the moment, I'm afraid there should be a reasonable reason."

You can't just let Madam Wu run around all the time when a junior like you gives a word, right?

After all, Madam Wu is the lady of the Earl's Mansion.

People hold polo clubs for the fun of matchmaking, not just for fun.

Besides, we had some fun not long ago.

Yang Wenyuan remained calm and turned to look at Yang Ruijin:
"Isn't there my sister Rujin here?"

My sister is making a nest, so there is no need to worry about it!
"I?"

Yang Ruijin pointed at herself with her white index finger with a silly look on her face.

Cousin, you think too highly of me.

How come I didn’t know I had such great abilities?

Um...wait?
Yang Rujin frowned, realizing that things didn't seem simple.

Could it be that my cousin not only wants to use my name on the young master, but now he wants to use it on the polo match? !
