Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 33
What Lu Jiangjiang couldn't understand the most in his life was that the old man was also literate, and he was also a man in the court who could talk to all the Confucian scholars. , Lu Jiangjiang, and Lu Tiantian...how perfunctory and childish!

But his father was a dutiful son, his grandfather said what he said, and he easily accepted the name of the third generation of the Lu family who couldn't stand on the stage...

Lu Jiangjiang dangled half a glass of wine in his hand, shaking his head, hating that iron can't be made into steel, and his performance was full of elements.Bai Xing didn't bother to talk to him, seeing that Ning Xiuyuan had left the yard, he grabbed the fan at hand and chased him out.

Lu Jiangjiang has always been out of his mind, and he was still lamenting his perfunctory name just now. Seeing everyone leave now, he immediately put down his glass and chased them out, "Bai Xing, you boy, slow down...your family is too big, I'm going Don't know the way!"

……

In the flower hall, the old lady Bai was sitting upright in the main seat. The old lady, who was always known for her gentleness and hospitality, now had a serious expression on her face.

Her eyes fell on Shen Lewei, who lowered her head, as if she was under heavy pressure, she was a little out of breath, she just lowered her head and stirred the handkerchief in her hand, almost murmuring, "My little girl, my little girl...that's not what my little girl meant. ..."

"My majesty pays great attention to etiquette and music. The famous actors in the Jiaofang Division all receive their salaries and eat the royal rations. On weekdays, they also wake up three times when they hear the rooster, sleep hard and practice hard...however, when the girl talks about it, she just hums and coaxes men. I am happy to sell my hue..."

Shen Le bit her lips slightly, "I, I..."

"Miss Shen is better to speak carefully, not to mention that this is my wife's guest, I can't help Miss Shen criticizing Sang Huai. Let this word spread, at a young level, it is Miss Shen who looks down on these famous actors, at an older level... ... At this old age, I dare not say that kind of thing, Miss Shen can figure it out for herself."

To make it bigger, it means that His Majesty in the palace is in a daze, saying that the Lords of the Manchu Dynasty are addicted to women...

Who dares to bear this?

Although Shen Lewei didn't understand it so clearly, she was so frightened by the oppressive and silent atmosphere of the crowd at this moment that she knelt down with a plop, and her head was dripping with cold sweat.

Shen Luoxin, who stood behind Ji Wuyan from beginning to end without making a sound, sighed. This crime...is too heavy, and the Shen family cannot bear it.Shen Lewei was ignorant, but she, Shen Luoxin, couldn't be ignorant of the seriousness. She immediately took a step forward and saluted, "Old Furen, concubine sister doesn't understand etiquette, her words are reckless and her behavior is useless... But old Furen, don't get angry and hurt yourself."

"You are..." The old lady raised her eyes and nodded slightly, "Are you a girl from Mrs. Xu's family? You look like your mother in your eyebrows... and your temperament is also similar. When I invited you before, your mother always believed in those bastard things." I can't evade it, but it's been a long time since I saw her, the old man was in poor health before, and it was her medicine that gave me hope!"

Xu Siniang is a gangster.

Here, the wives can accept a daughter of Wu Zuo sitting at the same table, but most of them can't accept Wu Zuo's daughter. Now, after hearing this, they all laughed and said, thinking of Xu Siniang's good words, but they are not familiar with her at all. , In addition, there was nothing good to say about Xu Siniang in the public, so after a long time, it was still only what the old lady mentioned, for example, good temper, for example, superb medical skills.

Even the expression is a little far-fetched.

There were also those who turned to praise Shen Luoxin, "After all, she is a daughter of the first wife, but her demeanor is different from that of a concubine. Even if she is targeted by many people, she still cares about the overall situation."

"Didn't Miss Ji say that the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, even if the inner house does not deal with it, it will always have the same surname to the outside... Although it is a bit straightforward, the truth is the same."

"Speaking of Miss Ji...we still want to listen to the song. Miss Ruoshui's piano sound is amazing. Madam, let's listen together? Don't let some people who don't understand... get in a bad mood."

The topic was gently brought over like this. After all, it is in my own house, and I am a junior, so I can't be too specific. Although the old lady was unhappy, she didn't say anything, and she followed the wishes of the ladies, please Ruoshui played the music, but his eyes fell on Ji Wuyan.

The old lady had actually been standing outside the flower hall for a long time.

It's been long enough to see all the disputes, including the sharpness under this girl's gentle appearance, and even...her name.

"Ji" is not a common surname, but there are countless people with the surname Ji all over the country.

But the way the girl turned her back to her and stretched out her hands to protect the person behind her... Inexplicably, it made people's eyes hot.Would love to... see her face.

"Miss Ji." The old lady called out in a low voice, beckoning, "Come here."

He patted the chair beside him.

Ruoshui's qin sound is indeed superb, with skilled technique and the blessing of the famous qin, most of the wives and ladies in the flower hall were immersed in it. He pulled it over and pressed it to his side.

"The girl's surname is Ji?" The old lady stared at her intently. She hadn't looked at her carefully at that time, but now she was slightly startled when she came into her eyes. She had... affectionate eyes, and the tails of her eyes were slightly twitched. There was a bit of the charm of that person...

Unconsciously exerting force in his hand, Ji Wuyan felt some pain, but he didn't notice it, and only responded with a smile, "Return to the old lady, yes."

"But... a stage name?" Most of the girls in Fengchenju have stage names, and most of them are nice and elegant.

Grabbing her hand became more and more out of control, and she could vaguely feel the trembling, Ji Wuyan shook her head, "The little girl's surname is Ji, and her name is Wuyan, and she hasn't come to Fengchenju for a short time. What's your stage name?"

"No need to change, no need to change, no salt is great..." the old lady murmured in a daze.

The song "Mountains and Flowing Water" had a magnificent ending. The lady was amazed and finally noticed the movement here. Seeing that the old lady was holding the girl's hand, she looked a little excited, and looked at each other for a while, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Mrs. Bai... Could it be that she has taken a fancy to this girl?
But after thinking about it, I think that such absurd things should not happen... Although there are rumors about the young master of the Bai family, in the final analysis, is it because the Bai family's vision is too high?Can ordinary people fall into the eyes of the old lady?Even if this girl caught her eye, the young lady of the Bai family is not the old lady's decision-maker alone. Family, background, and upbringing all have to be carefully evaluated... On the contrary, appearance is the last one.

But even though they were so self-consoling, when they looked at Ji Wuyan again... they still felt that they were not so energetic. They exchanged glances, and then someone said, "Miss Ji... Miss Ruoshui's piano sound is very nice, as expected." It's the pillar of Fengchenju. It's just... we want to hear from Miss Ji, I don't know, but are we lucky?"
