Chapter 19 Don't be Sad It's Not Your Fault You Grew up like This
The carriage swayed for half a day before stopping. Tang Yue jumped off the carriage first and looked at the red door. It was even more imposing than the one in Yueyang Marquis's Mansion. The words on the door plaque were unknown as usual.
After helping his two sisters down, Tang Yue asked, “How about I not go in?” It was imaginable that he, a stranger who had suddenly appeared, would definitely be watched like a monkey.
Tang Ya glared at him fiercely, “You dare?” After saying that, she pulled his sleeves and pulled him inside.
Tang Yue was helpless, “Fine, fine, I'll go. Don't be arrogant... Pay attention to your image!”
As soon as she entered the room, she heard a woman cry out in surprise. “Ya Tang, which family's young master are you pulling? Didn't you already get engaged to Noble Heir of State Duke Heng? How dare you openly argue with other young master?”
“What are you doing?” Tang Ya's temper was definitely not mild. She did not explain herself even if she was misunderstood by others. Instead, she became fierce.
Tang Yue could tell that these two girls were not going to deal with each other at first glance. With the principle of intimacy and neglect, he immediately bowed to the girl. “I let the young lady see a smile. Ya's temperament is bold and unrestrained. She is not used to small matters. I am her elder brother.”
In this era, what people admired was boldness and camaraderie. People who were too shy would be looked down upon. Therefore, Tang Yue seemed to apologize for his sister, but he actually praised her.
“Nonsense. Since when did the Yueyang Marquis's Mansion have young master?” That girl probably used this matter to make fun of Tang Ya a lot. She said arrogantly, “Who exactly are you? Tell me your name! Noble Heir of State Duke Heng also came today. Be careful not to let him see you. ”
“I am Tang Yue. I am indeed Ya's brother. It is normal that this lady does not know. I have just returned home.” After Tang Yue finished speaking, he was dragged away by Tang Ya. He listened to her nagging and lecturing, “What are you explaining to that slut? She just has an aunt in the palace and she dares to be so impudent. What the hell!”
Tang Yue felt that his sister's temper would be at a disadvantage sooner or later. She did not know how to cover it up. She did not inherit any of her mother's strengths. How could she become an otaku in the future?
“There were so many people here just now. I didn't just tell her.” He was afraid that it would not take long. The news of Yueyang Marquis having a son spread like wildfire.
Tang Ya thought it made sense. Through word of mouth, the news of Tang Family having an heir would soon be known by all the nobles of Ye City. Wasn't this the reason why she brought Tang Yue here today?
“I will bring you to see County Princess Huizhu first. You...” Tang Ya did not know what to say. She frowned slightly as if she had encountered something difficult.
Tang Yue pushed her forward and held Tang Wan's hand. “Hurry up and leave. It will not be good for Master's house to wait.”
Tang Ya rolled her eyes and gave him a simple introduction. “County Princess Huizhu is the eldest princess's direct daughter. She was conferred the title of princess all her life. Her status is noble. She is thirty this year. ” The husband of the princess was once a famous scholar. Unfortunately, he died young. He had a son, and he was twelve this year. Remember, don't mention her late husband in front of the princess. Also, don't smile in front of her, and don't keep staring at her. You definitely don't want to be the step-father of a twelve-year-old brat, right? ”
Tang Yue shook his head repeatedly. He wanted to say that he had no interest in women at all. The possibility of him liking her was lower than his liking for her son.
Of course, he could not be interested in a twelve-year-old kid.
Tang Yue extracted a few useful information. Firstly, this princess was of noble status and was not to be trifled with. Secondly, the princess was a widow and might have a lecherous habit. Thirdly, if the princess took a fancy to her... You must hide far away.
Tang Yue let out a few muffled laughs. He pointed at his own face and asked, “Are you sure the princess likes my style?”
These days were enough for him to understand the current trend. Nowadays, the more neutral men were, the more popular they were. The more white they were, the more attractive they were. On the streets, men with oily hair and pink cheeks could be seen everywhere.
Tang Ya thought about the few princesses she had met before. They were indeed different from her brother, so she comforted him, “Don't be sad. It's not your fault that you grew up like this.”
Tang Yue's mouth twitched. He thought, Which eye of yours saw me sad? If he looked like a man or a woman, he would really be sad.
After passing through a big garden, Tang Yue finally saw the mistress of this place. At first glance, he felt that Tang Ya's worry was reasonable. If he really was a man with a normal personality, he would definitely kneel under this princess's garnet dress.
A thirty year old woman could be considered middle-aged in this era. However, this princess maintained herself very well. Her skin was white and tender, and she did not look old when she stood with the little girl beside her. Most importantly, she had a maturity and charm that the little girl didn't have.
Tang Ya pinched him and brought him to bow to the princess.
“Eh, Ya, this young dandy is...?”
“He is Ya's elder brother, Tang Yue. He travels around the world all year round. He just came back a few days ago. Ya thought that the princess had yet to see her brother, so she brought him to meet you.”
“Oh? Quickly let this princess have a good look...”
It was not Tang Yue's first time being watched. He did not feel embarrassed. After everyone had finished watching, he asked, “Have you seen the princess?”
“Haha... Ya, your brother is really interesting.” County Princess Huizhu was older than Tang Yue by one round, but she did not act like an elder when she spoke. Looking at the girls here, they were all under 20 years old. It was enough. It was the princess's hobby.
“Princess, please forgive me. My brother doesn't know much about etiquette.”
“How could that be? This princess looks very good. His eyes are clear and his facial features are upright. He is neither servile nor overbearing. He has the style of a great clan.”
The meaning of this sentence was that Tang Yue was not bewitched by his beauty, so his eyes were clear. His appearance was ordinary, and could only be described as proper. He dared to say that the sentence just now showed that he was quite bold and barely passed the comprehensive score.
Tang Yue gladly accepted it, “Thank you for your praise, princess. Your eyebrows are like mountains, your eyes are like paintings, your nose is like jade, your skin is like snow, and you have the demeanor of a fish and a goose.”
Tang Yue knew that praising a woman was no better than praising her beauty. It was the same since ancient times.
County Princess Huizhu smiled brightly, “Tang Xiaolang, I like your directness. I want to visit the Prefecture more in the future.”
“I can't wait to see you.” Tang Yue bowed again and said apologetically, “I came in a hurry today and did not prepare the ceremony. I will make up for it next time.”
County Princess Huizhu naturally did not care about his gift, but she still thanked him happily and then let her personal maid take him to the garden on the other side.
The siblings temporarily said goodbye. Before Tang Yue left, he specially told Tang Ya to take care of his younger sister and come over to take them home after the banquet ended.
