Yang Yu used the excuse that he had something to do and went back to his residence to figure out how to make friends with Wang Yun.
"This Wang Yun is the most insidious person. He has made friends with almost everyone in the court. Even after Dong Zhuo's chaos, he was still able to get along with Dong Zhuo and his gang. Logically speaking, although I was released, I was recommended by the Eldest Princess. With his knowledge, he should not miss the opportunity to befriend me.”
Yang Yu thought for a while and then sat at home fishing.
As he expected, Wang Yun was thinking of befriending Yang Yu.
"That old fellow Huangfu Song, haven't you gotten close enough with Yang Yu along the way? Why are you still clinging onto others even after arriving in Luoyang? Are you not giving me a chance?"
Wang Yun was a sinister politician who liked to play behind the scenes. He had a good grasp of the people's hearts.
Huangfu Song entertained Yang Yu because he wanted to matchmake Lu Zhi, but he was also afraid that Yang Yu would be roped in by He Jin, Yang Ci, and the eunuchs.
"How do we break the situation and rope Yang Yu in? Yang Yu seemed to be released, but I knew that his troops would be transferred to Yanmen. As a result, Yang Yu was still one of the few people in the world who had real power over the army. It will be beneficial for me to befriend him sooner or later.”
He paced back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, but he could not think of a solution. He was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.
Diao Chan was throwing rice to feed the fish by the pond in the courtyard. When she saw Wang Yun walking back and forth, she couldn't help but smile."Godfather, why don't you tell your daughter about your difficulties? Your daughter has a good relationship with the Eldest Princess and can help you. His daughter had even recommended General Yang Yu to the princess. Speaking of which, Yang Yu still owed his daughter a favor, so he could help his foster father out.”
When Wang Yun heard this, he slapped his forehead heavily.""I almost forgot about you when I was in a treasure mountain! In this case, Yang Yu is still a character. I also want to make friends with him. If you write a letter, you can say that it's your birthday and ask him to come and support you! Then, ask your personal maid to send it to Yang Yu. You must not say that it was my idea!”
"My birthday? Tomorrow?" Diao Chan was stunned and immediately felt wronged."Got it, Godfather. I'll do it now.”
In fact, it was relatively easy for Wang Yun to invite Yang Yu to the banquet. The difficult problem was how to tie Yang Yu to him.
The Wang family was a flag-like existence in Bingzhou. It was possible for them to provide support to Yang Yu at any time. However, there had to be a reason to tie Yang Yu down.
Diao Chan recommended Yang Yu. With this relationship, the two parties had a foundation for communication.
"This is the purpose of adopting a daughter! Won't all the heroes in the world become my son-in-law in the future?”Wang Yun couldn't help but smile proudly.
After Diao Chan worded her words, the letter was written. It did not mention their friendship or Wang Yun's instructions. It only asked Yang Yu to give him face.
For some reason, Diao Chan had even deliberately smeared some powder on the paper.
After Yang Yu received the letter, the fragrance on it was still there. The quiet fragrance immediately reminded Yang Yu of that exquisite face.
"In terms of appearance, Diao Chan and Liu Ying each have their own merits.”
"Birthday? Hehe, how could an adopted daughter have a birthday? Wang Yun must be behind this. However, Wang Yun wanted to use me. He probably didn't expect that I had the same intention, right?”
After thinking for a while, Yang Yu smiled. Diao Chan has indeed done me a favor. Her birthday is fake, but I have to give her my heart. Moreover, such a beauty is worthy of me!”
However, he didn't reveal to Diao Chan whether he wanted to go or not. He only accepted the invitation.
After the servant girl returned, Diao Chan immediately asked anxiously,""How is it? Was that guy coming or not? When are you coming?"
The maidservant hesitated for a while and said,"" Miss, that guy didn't say anything. He just took the things and sent me away…"
Diao Chan immediately took a deep breath and gritted her teeth in anger."Did this guy forget about his poor friends after he became rich? No, I'm Wang Yun's adopted daughter. I'm not poor or cheap…Forget it, I'll see tomorrow! If she doesn't come, I'll go to the princess and tell her that she bullied me!”
Wang Yun called the maid over to ask her, but she was also suspicious.""What is the meaning of this Yang Yu? Even if Diao Chan is not worthy of his attention, he can't disregard me, Wang Yun, right?”
Although Wang Yun was only a Shangshu Ling and his rank was not high, he had great power. He sat alone with the Si Li Colonel and the Censor Zhongcheng. He sat separately from the officials in court. His actual status was similar to that of the internal officials. He was the kind of close official who could chat with the emperor and report.
Therefore, Wang Yun knew his own weight and knew that Yang Yu would not look down on him.
However, Yang Yu did not say whether he would come or not, which made him feel that he was unfathomable.
"Could it be that this Yang Yu is also a shrewd person? No way, wasn't he just a pawn by the Eldest Princess 'side? What is this guy thinking?"
The next day, Wang Yun still held a family banquet for Diao Chan as scheduled. As Diao Chan was only an adopted daughter, she did not invite her colleagues to eat and drink. She only invited a few of Diao Chan's playmates, such as Cai Yan and the Eldest Princess Liu Ying.
However, the Eldest Princess was of noble status and could not go to Wang Yun's house. She was afraid that the court would say that the emperor favored Wang Yun.
In Wang Yun's family, the wives and concubines had a mediocre attitude towards Diao Chan. They did not go at all because Wang Yun, as an adopted daughter, was too many for them to show their respect.
During dinner, there were only the host, Wang Yun, the birthday star, Diao Chan, and Cai Yan at the table.
Wang Yun looked at Diao Chan with dissatisfaction. Diao Chan lowered her head and kicked her right foot with her left foot, then kicked her right foot with her left foot. She gritted her teeth and almost wanted to bite Yang Yu to death.
"Hmph, you guys eat." Wang Yun was about to leave in a bad mood." I raised you for nothing. I can't even invite such a person. I'll be laughed at by my colleagues tomorrow."”
Diao Chan's eyes suddenly became misty, filled with bitterness. She was very sad about her past. At this moment, she hoped that someone could take her away from the Wang Family Compound and let her escape from this prison-like life.
At this moment, the sound of laughter and chatter suddenly came from outside. Yang Yu was the first to walk in.
"Eh? Shangshu Ling? Are you going out? That's good. You go ahead and do your work. I'll celebrate Diao Chan's birthday.”Yang Yu greeted Wang Yun and walked straight in.
Wang Yun was furious when he saw that Yang Yu was only thinking about Diao Chan and was so rude to him.
However, before he could flare up, he saw Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Rong walk in together. After that, even the princess's luan chariot arrived!
