auspicious time has come

Chapter 182

"Sister Ji!"

At this moment, a pleasantly surprised voice sounded, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl trotted towards Hengyu.

She grabbed Heng Yu's sleeve affectionately: "Sister Ji, you are here!"

Hengyu nodded, smiled and raised her hand to help Zhuhua who was running crookedly: "Little Aliu is here too."

Ma Shangshu originally belonged to Jiang Zhengfu's party, so it is not surprising that Ma Yingliu appeared here, and there are so many girls here today, almost all the noble ladies in the city are here - she is not very familiar with the Jiang family girl , These girls are naturally the same.

From this point of view, it seems that there is nothing special about her being invited this time?

"Fortunately, Sister Ji is here, I feel at a loss..." Ma Yingliu said to Hengyu in a low voice, her face was very relieved.

"Yingyue, is that the second younger sister of your family who just returned to Beijing?" A little girl at the side gently poked a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl: "How could she recognize that girl from Ji's family?"

Being asked this question by her friend, Ma Yingyue, who just now felt disgraced because of her sister's bold words and deeds, frowned slightly, and said, "Second sister, come here, I have something to tell you."

Ma Yingliu, who was holding Hengyu's arm, blinked: "Elder Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'll listen."

"..." Ma Yingyue clenched the veil in her hand tightly when she heard this, and her eyes were full of hatred for iron.

"I heard that the second girl from the Ma family has not been in the capital since she was a child, so she was just brought back?"

"It's no wonder..."

There were constant low-pitched conversations all around, and most of the eyes were focused on Hengyu.

"Miss Ji, I heard that you play cuju very well... Last time at Mr. Xiaoming's poetry meeting, he even won the first place among those scholars!" The lively little girl surrounded Hengyu and asked. .

"I've heard that too! Miss Ji is really amazing, she even won those men!"

Hengyu laughed and said: "Being the same person, women are no worse than men. There is no difference between men and women in learning, and everyone can achieve something with their heart."

A few girls just found this saying quite novel——can women really be able to learn?
At this time, someone gently tugged on the sleeve of one of the girls from behind, pulled her two steps away, and whispered: "Why are you walking so close to her, so you are not afraid of your reputation?"

"She is so notorious, my mother said, she probably won't be able to get married..."

"Speaking of which, isn't your family currently negotiating marriage for you...and stay away from her, so as not to be affected by her and affect your marriage."

When people around her said this, the girl hesitated for a moment, but she still didn't dare to approach Hengyu again.

Heng Yu also heard these words, and didn't find it strange.

And these words are not unpleasant, it's just human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

It would be a real strange thing if everyone would get rid of their prejudices against her and talk and laugh with her just because they got a compliment from her to ease the atmosphere.

Wanting to change these stereotypes is not just a matter of words or overnight.

"I thought all the girls in Beijing were like Sister Ji, but I didn't expect that they were no different from ours." Ma Yingliu curled her lips and said.

Seeing what she was muttering, Ma Yingyue spoke again, her tone was two points more serious: "Second sister, come here quickly, how did you promise me before going out today?"

Ma Yingliu looked at her helplessly: "I said I won't cause trouble for you, and I didn't cause trouble."

Ma Yingyue choked when she heard that.

She is asking her to come over, not asking her to answer!

How dare you say anything in front of so many people!
She blushed in anger for a moment: "...then what are you doing now?"

Isn't it just causing trouble for her?

"I'm talking to Sister Ji." Ma Yingliu raised her chin slightly: "Elder Sister doesn't know something, but I want Sister Baiji to be my teacher in the future!"

"What?" Ma Yingyue's eyes widened.

"Teacher?" Someone sneered and teased: "I don't know what Miss Ji will teach as a teacher, Cuju? Drinking? Or fighting crickets?"

"Or paint for the flower girls in Yanchun Tower?"

"Isn't it teaching people to raise children and husbands?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Ji has a lot of skills."

The voices of the girls are soft and clear, even if they say some yin and yang words, the tone is still innocent.

Heng Yu didn't feel angry when she heard it.

Until there was a voice followed by a sneer, and said: "That's right, Miss Ji has seen the 'big world', and she must have learned a lot in those few years outside! It's just that Miss Ji dares to teach, you Dare to learn?"

The smile in Heng Yu's eyes faded, and she glanced at the person who spoke: "Dare to ask your father, is it Minister Min?"

"Yes... so what?" The girl felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her like this, but she still held up her momentum.

Heng Yu looked at her: "No, it's just that when I look back, I have to ask someone to ask how your father taught his daughter to say such unspeakable things in public."

Not far away, a little girl who was walking towards here heard the movement and stopped the Jiang family envoy who wanted to pass on the message.

"You... you say who can't get on the stage!" The fourth girl of the Min family was extremely angry: "Is what I just said not the truth? No one in the capital knows that you have been living outside for several years, and your reputation has been ruined! Thanks to you in the past You also pretended not to care, I just said a word of the truth, and you are going to be angry! Why, do you still want to eat me alive?"

These words can be said to be very harsh, as if every word is poking at someone's pain.

Some girls have already felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Xuexi also frowned when she heard that, and when she was about to speak, she heard Heng Yu's calm voice: "It's you who are angry from embarrassment, you don't have to try to confuse the public in embarrassment. My experience is nothing to mention , anyone can talk about it. Even if you really want to know, as long as you ask any kind questions, I can tell you as much as possible, just treat it as a small matter and tell you."

"It doesn't matter if you think my reputation is completely ruined, or you think that this part of my past is embarrassing to tell people, so as not to be involved in the reputation and keep people away from people like me, there is nothing wrong with these."

Heng Yu looked at the girl with a flushed face firmly, and said: "But you shouldn't make fun of her misfortune in public, to make fun of it. It doesn't matter if you're living outside or being trafficked. The so-called loss of reputation is an injustice that the world imposes on women. You are born as a daughter, and you don’t consider it unfair. Instead, you use it as a laughing stock to make fun of a person who has never had any issues with you——I am The person you made fun of, doesn't just say that you are not on the stage, why should he praise you for being funny?"

"You..." Min Si was so angry that he trembled all over his body, and he was so excited that he couldn't choose what to say: "...well, even if it's not your fault that you live abroad, you don't feel ashamed of losing your reputation. Said, and often go in and out of the place of fireworks to hang out with those lowly prostitutes, it's really immoral!"

Ma Yingliu couldn't help frowning and said in a low voice: "An owe is an owe, no matter how much you say, it's still an owe?"

Ma Yingyue glanced at her quietly.

"Prostitutes in the world, even if they serve people with sex and sell their flesh and blood, it is not what they want." Heng Yu still didn't look annoyed, looked at Min Si, and said with a more calm expression: "In my opinion, poor people Trying to survive is not degrading. You can stand here and despise others wantonly, not because you are noble and holy, but because you are luckier than them. Why should a person who has done nothing wrong be ashamed of his own misfortune? Should be ashamed The person who should be the one who said such ignorant and immoral words should be Miss Min Si, right?"

"Who do you say is ignorant and moral!" Min Si only felt the great humiliation, and gritted his teeth: "In the end, you are just relying on the support of Princess Yongyang! Who knows that your family has long since declined. First, you lost your grandfather. Then he lost his father and mother, and you came back in good health, who knows if you were born to be a man..."

"Okay." The always gentle Jiang Xuexi interrupted Min Si's words, and frowned slightly: "If Miss Min Si can't speak calmly, please move elsewhere."

"Miss Jiang..." Min Si was stunned for a moment, feeling aggrieved: "How can you blame me, everyone is listening here, it's clear that she is using strong words to confuse black and white..."

She said, looking at the people around her: "You are all judging!"

While talking, he grabbed the arm of a girl in pink: "Wan Wan, why don't you talk? Don't you often talk..."

"Okay, okay." The girl quickly interrupted her, and said with a complicated expression: "Ah Jing, are you feeling unwell today? Otherwise, I'll accompany you back..."

Although she also said in private that the girl from Ji's family had a bad reputation, but as the saying goes, she doesn't expose her faults when she scolds others, and she said in front of others that the impurity is purely a brain pit, so it's okay to scold her!

Let's say it again!If you are choked, you will be hard-spoken!

More importantly, today is the birthday of Miss Jiang's family, how will it end if this trouble continues?
The girl coaxed Min Si, but she was already vomiting to death in her heart, wishing she could knock him out with a mallet.

"Well said!"

At this time, an eight or nine-year-old girl walked over briskly, followed by two palace ladies.

Who is this?
Seeing that although the other party was young, his identity was obviously unusual, the girls all subconsciously fell silent for a moment.

Min Si also calmed down and looked at the little girl.

"Miss, it's Princess Jiayi." The female envoy of the Jiang family hurried to Jiang Xuexi and said.

Jiang Xuexi was slightly startled, and then hurriedly saluted: "My daughter has met Princess Jiayi."

Princess Jiayi?

Isn't that the eldest daughter of His Royal Highness?
It was the first time for most people to see this Princess Jiayi, and they hurried forward to salute.

Heng Yu also followed the crowd to salute.

She had met the Princess Jiayi once at Princess Yongyang's mansion, but it had been four or five years.

"I don't know if Princess Jiayi is here, but I'm far away from welcoming you." Jiang Xuexi said.

"Miss Jiang is being polite. I came here uninvited. I'm being rude." Princess Jiayi signaled the palace maid next to her to step forward: "It's just a small gift, it's all an apology for interrupting Miss Jiang's birthday banquet."

Gong'e stepped forward and presented the brocade box in her hand.

Heng Yu looked at the young girl with childish features, her words and deeds already had a hint of demeanor, her eyes could not help but think.

This little princess was raised in the East Palace...

After Jiang Xuexi thanked her, she said softly: "The princess is serious, why bother, but I don't know what the princess wants to explain when she comes here this time?"

Since it was said that it was an "apology" and not a special birthday gift, it can be seen that there was another reason for this trip.

But neither Jiang Xuexi nor everyone present thought that the reason would be——

"I'm here to find Miss Ji." Princess Jiayi looked at Hengyu with bright eyes.

Hengyu was also surprised.

Before she could open her mouth, Princess Jiayi said earnestly, "I just went to visit Ji's house, and I heard that Mrs. Ji came to Jiang's house, so I chased after her."

See you?

It can be said that these two words are used with great respect, which made all the young ladies bewildered when they heard it.

"The princess speaks seriously." Heng Yu smiled slightly: "I don't know if the princess has anything to order personally?"

"No, no, I have something to ask Miss Deji to agree to." Princess Jiayi raised her hand and saluted solemnly.

The surroundings vibrated even more.

Heng Yu felt that something was wrong, but she didn't intend to use a little girl to add credit to herself——

Therefore, he said in time: "The princess's words have discouraged me. If the princess has something to tell, why not talk about it in the pavilion?"

"Okay." Princess Jiayi nodded obediently, and made a very polite appearance, raising her hand to let Hengyu go first.

Heng Yu felt more and more strange, but she couldn't show too much on her face.

Seeing the two walking towards the pavilion, Jiang Xuexi told the maid: "Go and prepare some tea and snacks."

Then he said to the girls: "If you still want to enjoy the flowers, you can wander around in this garden. If you are tired, please go to the flower hall to have tea and rest."

Most of the people shook their heads and said, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired."

The Princess Jiayi came over suddenly, and she treated Ji Hengyu with such an attitude, and she still didn't know why... How can I say I'm tired at this time?
The girl who was almost dragged into the water by Min Si took the opportunity to pull Min Si a little further away, and said in a low voice: "...she is eloquent, if you quarrel with her, isn't that just asking for trouble?"

"You're still talking about me, just now you didn't know how to say something for me!" Min Si complained with red eyes.

"I..." The girl sighed: "The girls from the Jiang family have helped her, so don't we make too many mistakes and shame ourselves?"

Min Si snorted coldly, turned his face away and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Turning his head, he saw the back of the pavilion sitting opposite Princess Jiayi in the pavilion through the flowers and trees.

"Then... shall we go back?" the girl asked in a low voice.

"If I want to go back to you, I won't leave!" Min Si gritted his teeth: "If we just leave like this, wouldn't that make Ji Hengyu proud and make them laugh!"

The girl has a complicated complexion.

Isn't it a joke to stay here?

"I'd like to stay and see why Princess Jiayi gave her such a big face!" Min Si pursed his lips, his face full of dissatisfaction.

In the pavilion, Heng Yu was slightly taken aback when she heard the Princess Jiayi in front of her explain her intentions.

"The princess... want me to be your teacher?"

"Yes." The girl nodded, looking at her with bright eyes: "Miss Ji also thinks I have a good eye, right?"
