Chapter 607 The Oppressed Twin Brothers 3
Because their two sons have been weak and sickly since birth and faced life-threatening danger at any time, Mr. Yun and Mrs. Yun have a new understanding of life, that is, everything except life and death is trivial.
After Yunlang recovered a lot, he was sent to college. When his daughter Yunxin found out, she also wanted to go and begged her parents to allow her to go.
After much consideration, Mr. and Mrs. Yun agreed, but because there was no college that accepted female students, they asked Yun Xin to dress up as a man and go with Yun Lang, so that the two siblings could be together and take care of each other.
Different from Yunlang who is keen on martial arts and neglects poetry and books, Yunxin is very hardworking. His results in the exam at the end of last year were much better than Yunlang's.
But no matter how much Yun Xin likes studying, she is just a thirteen-year-old girl after all. She likes reading and the outside world even more.
Yun Xin returned to his yard with the three books given by Yun Yi and sighed. It seemed like he had a long way to go to finish reading three books in five days.
But the eldest brother said 'try your best', so she just needs to try her best.
After washing up, Yun Xin picked up a book and went to bed. Ever since she was enlightened, she had developed the habit of reading a few pages of a book before going to bed.
And the book she was holding now was one of the three books that Yun Yi gave her.
After opening it, Yun Xin discovered that this book did not contain obscure articles by ancient sages, but a collection of many folk stories from ancient times to the present.
The writing style of the editor was not very good, but the emotions were extremely delicate. Just by reading these short stories, she seemed to see all kinds of people appearing in front of her.
Her parents did not impose much restrictions on her since she was a child, but because she was a girl, she stayed at home most of the time and interacted with relatives during festivals.
It was not until she disguised herself as a man and went to the academy with her second brother that she met more people. However, in order to prevent people from discovering that she was a girl, she still did not dare to have too much contact with her classmates.
Yun Xin had read history books before, but the characters in history books were too general and cold, not as warm as the characters in this book.
Yun Xin looked completely inside and before she knew it the candle in the room had burned out. A hint of light from outside was already coming in through the window. Only then did she realize that she had been looking for so long.
I lay on the bed, rubbed my sore eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
Her parents went to a banquet last night, so they must have gotten up late today. It didn’t matter if she slept a little longer.
-
After the lively Lantern Festival, everything returned to its usual quietness, but the knocks on the door of Yun's house indicated that there would be a sequel to what happened last night.
Seeing the legal advisor from the government office coming, Master Yun couldn't help but feel nervous. The last thing a merchant family wants to do is deal with the government, but since the legal advisor has come, he can't refuse to see him.
After listening to the master's account of what happened last night, Master Yun finally felt relieved.
"It is the duty of every citizen of Ningguo to stand up for what is right when seeing injustice. You are too polite, sir," said Master Yun modestly.
"Brother Yun's son is extremely intelligent and brave. He helped Princess Duan Ning to get back the purse. Today, when the county magistrate visited the princess, the princess praised him highly. She also said that she would invite Brother Yun and the second young master to a banquet today to express her gratitude."
The legal advisor's face was full of smiles. The county magistrate had won the favor of the eldest princess, and his status as a legal advisor would also rise with the tide. He finally got such an opportunity, so of course he would do his best to make it happen.
Mr. Yun has been in business for many years, how could he not know the twists and turns involved.
No matter whether it was the princess or the county magistrate, they were people whom he, a mere businessman, could not afford to offend, so he had no room to refuse and could only agree to it.
"I'm not going." Yun Lang refused when he was notified to attend a banquet.
"You have to go. This is not up to you." Master Yun insisted, "The princess is hosting a banquet. Do you think we can refuse it?"
Yun Lang had a worried look on his face. If he had known there would be trouble today, he would not have tried to be a hero last night.
Suddenly, Yun Lang's eyes lit up, "How about, let big brother go for me? We look the same, and people who are not close to us can't tell the difference at all."
"Nonsense, your elder brother is weak, how can he catch a thief?"
Yun Lang's spirit dropped when he heard that. His elder brother certainly didn't look like someone who practiced martial arts.
"Be obedient, the banquet will only last two hours at most, just treat it as..."
"Dad, let me go." Before Master Yun could finish his words, Yun Yi walked in from outside and said.
Yun Yi was dressed in a dark robe, with a ruddy face and a smile. He stood there looking handsome and elegant, and did not look sick at all.
"I have also learned breathing techniques from Master Miao in the past six months, and my health has improved a lot. The eldest princess' banquet will surely be extremely elegant, and she will not let Yun Lang perform martial arts in public." Yun Yi said slowly.
Yun Lang nodded repeatedly, "That's right, didn't the master say that? The princess also hosted a banquet for other officials from Jiangnan. We must be the least noticeable. No one will notice the difference between me and my elder brother."
Yun Lang was reluctant to go, so Yun Yi volunteered.
Master Yun could only accept what his two sons had agreed on with trepidation.
Although the Yun family is the richest family in Jiangnan, since ancient times, the people should not fight against the officials. How could Master Yun not be uneasy when he openly deceived the eldest princess and so many officials?
Later, the father and son took a carriage to the eldest princess's villa.
The eldest princess' husband is from Jiangnan. When they got married, the late emperor ordered people to build a villa in Jiangnan for her to live in, but they have been living in Beijing for all these years.
The villa is heavily guarded, with a sentry almost every ten steps.
With his current body without any martial arts skills, it is simply a pipe dream for him to sneak in.
"Brother Yun, you are here. Please come this way." The master hurried over to greet them when he saw them.
The princess held a banquet and invited officials from Jiangnan. Originally, a small county magistrate was not qualified to attend, but because Yunlang helped Shengtang get the purse back, the county magistrate tried the case overnight and showed his face in front of the princess, and was qualified to attend the banquet.
As the legal advisor shared the same interests with the county magistrate, he naturally wanted to maximize the impact of this matter, and hurriedly dragged Yunlang to show his presence in front of the princess.
"Mother, this is Mr. Yun who helped me get my purse back last night." Sheng Tang saw his lawyer coming over with the father and son of the Yun family, and came to the side of the eldest princess and said.
Ning Ruli raised her eyes and saw a handsome young man.
Glancing at her daughter's smiling eyes and rosy cheeks, as someone who had experienced this, she naturally knew what was in her mind.
A hero saving a beautiful girl is the most emotional act for girls.
But as the son of a merchant, his status is ultimately not presentable.
"Greetings, Princess." The lawyer brought Master Yun and Yun Yi to Ning Ruli to pay their respects.
"No need for the gifts." Ning Ruli's eyes fell on Yun Yi who had his eyes downcast. "Mr. Yun, you helped me last night. Please accept these gifts of thanks. They are also a token of my appreciation."
