Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 218
Only a few people knew about what happened on New Year's Eve, and because His Majesty and the Queen Mother deliberately concealed it, many people actually didn't know what happened that night, but they were very surprised when they heard that Su Lingxi was going to marry Liu Hongxin.

One is a noble-born concubine of the Duke of Yuguo's mansion, and the other is a sloppy dude. These two people who can't get along with each other are now engaged, which is really unbelievable.

In the theatrical building, people sat together in groups of three or four, listening to the music while talking about this unsuitable marriage.

"Ms. Su's family is the empress dowager's niece after all, and she's pretty too. Why did she marry such a thing as Liu Hongxin? It's really bad luck for him!" One of them couldn't figure it out. Where exactly did you lose?

At this time, it happened that a son who had visited the Nanfeng Pavilion with Liu Hongxin listened to these words, and immediately interjected: "Brother, the person you just mentioned is Liu Hongxin, the son of Uncle Zhongyi's mansion." ?”

The man looked over suspiciously: "What? Do you know each other?"

"Friendship after two glasses of wine."

"Oh, then you'll probably have the wedding wine between him and Miss Su's family soon." At the end, he added, "That kid Liu Hongxin is truly blessed."

Hearing this, Young Master Jin Yi showed a serious expression, thanked him, and left here.

Everyone stared at his back suspiciously for a while, then continued to talk about other gossip.

At that time, Pei Ce, who was sitting on the second floor, also looked away, turned to Ji Shuyu and said, "Now you can rest assured, this marriage will never fall on your shoulders." Then he was confused again: " I didn't expect Su Lingxi to marry Liu Hongxin in the end, is she blind?"

He didn't enter the palace on New Year's Eve, so he didn't know exactly what happened.

With a bit of melancholy in his brows, Ji Shuyu said absently, "Who Su Lingxi marries has nothing to do with me."

Pei Ce lazily leaned on the back of the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and said leisurely: "Seeing that you are so decadent, could it be that Miss Cai rejected you?"

"No, I haven't told her yet."

He looked so preoccupied that Pei Ce couldn't help but get serious, and said, "For the sake of you spending the New Year with me, tell me, what happened? I'll help you."

Ji Shuyu gave him a deep look, thought for a while, and said, "Huanzhi, we agreed to go to Foguang Temple to appreciate plum blossoms after the Chinese New Year. I might miss the appointment."

"Isn't it?" Pei Ce sat up straight with a bang.

"Huanzhi, you know, it's impossible to go to the Cai family to propose marriage with my current status, so I told my father that after the new year, I will go to the northern border with my brother to join the army, so this year's plum blossom , I’m afraid I can’t watch it with you.”

Pei Ce's dim eyes gradually dimmed, and he said something inexplicable: "You are going to the northern border too."

Ji Shuyu apologized, "I'm sorry, but this time I'll just treat it as my debt, and I'll pay you back later."

"That's all." Pei Ce waved his hand indifferently, and resumed his casual attitude, "When are you going to leave Beijing? I'll see you off."

"Eighth day."

"In such a hurry?" Pei Ce's eyes showed surprise, and then he calmed down again, "You are eager to earn fame, I understand, it's just that the border is bitter and cold, it's no better than the capital, don't go there for two days and come back grumbling, then don't blame me for making a joke You. My father said that Beidi has become more peaceful recently, but there is no guarantee that he will go south one day. Be careful in everything. Since you want to join the army, why not go to Liangzhou? It happens that my parents, elder brother and second brother are all there There, maybe I can take care of you a bit, it's better to follow my father than to follow others."

He babbled a lot of bits and pieces, talked about something and nothing, didn't say a word of convincing, but was full of reluctance everywhere.

Ji Shuyu looked at him silently, and said after a while, "Huanzhi, don't you want to go to Liangzhou?"

"Pull it down! I'm used to being pampered, but I can't stand the cold wind in the northern border. You can bear this kind of suffering alone. Don't take me with you."

Ji Shuyu smiled helplessly, "Then you will wait for me to come back in Beijing, and I will definitely accompany you to see the plum blossoms in the coming year!"

Pei Ce glanced at him inadvertently, and said in a soft voice as if talking to himself, "Then don't lose your word."

Ji Shuyu couldn't hear clearly, and when he caught a glimpse of the loneliness in his eyes, he probably understood, but he still didn't say some words.

The capital is still immersed in the excitement of the New Year, and the streets are full of laughter and laughter, but at this time, the Yuguo Mansion seems to be covered by a cloud.

In Xiyuan, the second lady was cursing with her hips crossed. Although she didn't mention her name, she scolded Su Lingxi for her shamelessness. She committed such scandalous things, which hurt the reputation of other sisters in the family.

Mama Wang, who was waiting close by, urged her repeatedly: "Madam, please keep your voice down, lest the people in Dongyuan listen to you, and then it's time to blame you again!"

The second lady was so angry that she turned around in the hall, and said angrily: "Before, people sent it to the door and didn't want it, but now they are rushing to post it? She has a thick skin, and if I put it on me, I feel that my face hurts!"

"Madam, don't say a few words! After all, the two girls are still young, and it won't be too late to talk about the marriage after this period of time."

"Can I not be in a hurry?" The second lady sat down angrily, "She didn't get married before, and I thought the Queen Mother would point her to a good marriage. Who would have thought that it would end up like this?!"

The second room was not as good as the first room, and I thought that Su Lingxi would get married well. When her two daughters got married, they would be able to enjoy the honor of the first room and marry a son of a noble family.

Who would want to!This light is not stained, but it is ugly first?The second lady felt angry.

Mother Wang brought her a cup of tea and persuaded her, "Ma'am, take a break! The wedding is scheduled for May, and it won't be long. When the second girl gets married, it will naturally be the third girl's turn, and the fourth girl's turn." gone."

Hearing this, the second lady calmed down a bit, "That's true, but it's still a few months away, I just hope that Dongyuan will not make any more troubles!"

"Don't worry ma'am"

While the two were talking, a maid suddenly walked in from the door, "Ma'am, a guest just came to Dongyuan."

"It's not my guest in Xiyuan, what do you have to do with me? Hurry down, don't bother me!" The second lady was annoyed, but she didn't have time to worry about it.

But Madam Wang said: "Madam, the person who came to the door at this time should not be an ordinary person, why don't you ask?"

The second lady thought for a while, and it seemed reasonable, then she asked the maid: "Do you see who is here?"

The maid replied: "Ma'am, he is the third son of Da Furen's natal brother."

The second wife was taken aback, "What is the Gu family sending someone here at this time? Could it be that they are here for the marriage?"

The eldest lady came from a humble family background, and it was because of this that the Empress Dowager chose her to be Su Yuming's sequel.These years, the eldest lady has never had any children. Although she was pregnant twice before, she failed to keep it. Later, she got hurt, so she just guarded Su Lingxi with peace of mind.

What is the so-called reason for the sudden visit of the third son of the Gu family today?
