atypical prostitute

Chapter 99
In March of Yangchun, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the backyard of the Fu family is full of flowers again.

Although today, in order to show the same joys and sorrows as the border officers and soldiers, large-scale banquet tours are banned, but it is harmless for the little girls to hold a song cup and running water in private.

So in the windy and rainy afternoon, brightly dressed ladies gathered around the artificially dug one-foot-wide loop water canal, with tassels ringing softly, rings wearing pendants, wreaths ringing crisply, and draped silk flowing.

The host, Shangguan Mingji, wore a yellow shirt with a feather crown, thin powder and black powder, and held a gold-plated dragon and phoenix fan. He sat on the top of the Qushui, with a wine bottle and a spoon for pouring wine beside him.

The slender fingers moved slightly, and the black-bottomed ivory-carved earcup painted with fish and water patterns was filled with sake, slid into the water, and slowly floated along the tortuous current.

Outside the gazebo are lush forests and bamboos, and the waves of pines burst forth. Although there is no stringed and bamboo orchestra, a group of young women are enough to envy others.

This time, the two ladies of the Fu family are the hosts, and the real purpose of holding the Liushang Qushui is nothing more than to find out the attitude of the ladies in Beijing towards the matter of King Liang's reunion.

……

……

Most of the capital knew that the fourth wife of the Fu family and Princess Kanghui had always been at odds because of their similar identities and their different appearances.What's more, Princess Kanghui fell off his horse and broke his leg in a sneak attack on the hunting ground a few months ago, so the enmity between the two of them naturally became bigger and bigger.

Therefore, Li Ci deliberately sat down next to Zi Niangzi, and Yu Jing wanted to marry Liang Wang as a continuation, Zi Niangzi's help was indispensable.

Zi Niangzi was ignorant, taking advantage of Zhan's wife being fined to drink, she said to Li Ci very depressedly: "These few days have really suffocated me to death."

Li Ci was worried that he couldn't find a chance to raise the topic. Hearing the words, he immediately smiled sweetly and said, "I probably remember that Jiang's house is bigger than Fu's. Why, who made you angry?"

"It's not that Princess Kanghui, she committed a crime and broke her leg, but she came to harm me!"

Li Ci pretended to be surprised and said, "What kind of moth is she messing with?"

The voice was neither high nor low, and it happened that half of the people in the scene could hear it.

Most of the people present had some grudges against Princess Kanghui, and when they heard the sound, they all pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a word.

Seeing everyone's sideways glances, Zi Niangzi immediately became interested, she glanced at her mouth and said: "She excused that there was no one to talk to in Prince Liang's mansion, so she insisted on moving to Jiang's house to recuperate! You know that I never liked her domineering appearance, but my father ——If my sister hadn’t invited me out today, I’m afraid I’d have to accompany that crazy girl to listen to her curses again.”

"She...Didn't His Royal Highness King Liang say that he wanted to restrain her more?"

Li Ci spoke casually, bringing the topic to the point step by step.

Zi Niangzi snorted a few times, and said: "His Royal Highness Liang will not restrain her seriously! He only knows how to recite scriptures and practice Buddhism all day long, that is, when my poor-fated aunt is alive, she will restrain her. It is a pity that she is relying on Liang Wang. His Highness admires Wuwei, even to my aunt, he also has a rebuttal, and there is no such thing as a child."

"This is really unfilial!" The lady of the Chen family interjected.

The girls also nodded.

A lady from a wealthy family has been entangled in all kinds of rules since she was a child, and she corrected them step by step.Even if closing the door in private would be a bit intimacy and rude, in front of parents, who wouldn't bow their heads and ears with trepidation?

Princess Kanghui's disobedience, unfilial piety, and reckless behavior are simply unheard of.

Immediately, he sighed sentimentally, he had always envied the deep love between Concubine Liang and King Liang, who would have thought that there would be such sadness behind the glamorous appearance.

Zi Niangzi became more and more interested when she heard the words, and said angrily: "If it's just like this, it's just ordinary rudeness! Since the death of my aunt, she really has no one to restrain her, and she wears men's clothes all day long to invite young men Swimming in the water and looking at the flowers, she doesn't have any reservations of a daughter's family. This time she committed a crime and made her legs limping. She was so proud of herself that she didn't want to be seen in a mess with long and short legs, so she finally stopped swimming in the lake with those talented people. They sang together. But she is used to the stars, and she was forced to quit the game, which was more difficult than life! Tossing so many servant girls in the Liang Palace had their legs broken, and Jiang's disaster came again! "

Zi Niangzi spoke vividly, and all the girls were filled with righteous indignation when they heard it. Even Shangguan Mingji, who was the host of the "Liu Shang Qu Shui", couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, and the corners of his skirt were wet with wine.

Only Li Ci knew about these incidents long ago, and at this moment, he just wanted to bring up the topic. Seeing that Zi Niangzi became more and more excited, he inserted a sentence just right, saying: "It can be seen that it is impossible to have no mistress in charge of the backyard." .”

Zi Niangzi also said: "Now I hope with all my heart that His Royal Highness King Liang will immediately find a good stepmother for her after serving her filial piety, and give her a good education."

Yu Jing suddenly became interested, and said: "His Royal Highness Liang Wang continued, Zi Niangzi really doesn't mind at all?"

"Not to mention His Royal Highness King Liang, who is an ordinary man, and there are very few examples of not marrying his dead wife. What's more, His Highness was suave, and he aroused so much love when he was young. Still warm and mellow, with peerless grace. I am not afraid of your jokes. My aunt just passed away, and my father deliberately chose a clan girl to send to the king of Liang. It is a pity that there are no outstanding unmarried women in this generation of the Jiang family. I promised to be the fourth lady again How can I—”

Having said that, Zi Niangzi stopped, covered her face with her sleeves, looked at Li Ci with a smile in her black eyes.

Li Ci hurriedly acted shyly, picked up the earcup that came from Qushui, and said, "I don't think it's my turn."

Zi Niangzi then booed from the side: "Fourth Niangzi must write a good poem."

Shangguan Nuguan also said: "The Fu family is a family of generals, and the fourth lady should be the first and heroic."

Li Ci frowned, she had always disdained plagiarism, but the current situation made it hard for her to get out.

In the end, Li Ci glanced at the clear sky, gritted his teeth, coughed a few more times, and then muttered:

"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass. Yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken."

As soon as this poem came out, the audience was shocked.

All the women present here are from rich families, so their knowledge and taste are naturally extraordinary.However, Wang Changling's frontier poems are the best among military poems, especially the line "the yellow sand wears golden armor in all battles, and if you don't break Loulan, you will never return it", which can be described as heroic, tragic and overbearing.

On the surface, it refers to the achievements of Fu Jiezi, the ancestor of the Fu family, in breaking Loulan, but in the dark, it can be extended to provoke a war for the Turks, but in the end it must be the victory of the Xie dynasty.

After a short period of calm, Zi Niangzi was the first to hold back, and said: "What a 'yellow sand wears a golden armor in a hundred battles, and you will never return it if you don't break Loulan'. Si Niangzi is indeed a descendant of Yang Hou. This courage is a man. It's rare!"

Li Ci hurriedly put aside the relationship, and said, "I don't have the mind to write such a good sentence. It was a gift from Wang Canjun, whom my father met in the early years. I was in a hurry and became a copyist."

Of course, this kind of plagiarism is harmless.After all, no one believed that Mrs. Fu's family could compose such magnificent poems.

What's more, ladies present here, who is not used to seeing brothers in the family doing money to buy lyrics for a blockbuster at poetry conferences?Li Ci admits to being a ghostwriter, but it makes people feel that she is frank.

Zi Niangzi immediately said: "Si Niangzi is really a straightforward person, and I don't know whose husband is so lucky to marry my sister."

Li Ci said: "I only know that you are already my third sister-in-law!"

Zi Niangzi rascally said: "Si Niangzi is making fun of me again!"

Just as they were frolicking and joking, a lady from the Li family who was close to Fan Yang's Lu family suddenly interrupted and said, "I saw the lady from the Lu family a few days ago."

Li Ci's complexion turned ugly, Zi Niangzi winked at Li's wife, but she wanted to continue talking.

"Mistress of the Lu family told me that she does not regret marrying Erlang Liu, even though Erlang Liu has been—"

"do not talk!"

Zi Niangzi snatched the gold-plated dragon and phoenix fan held by Shangguan's female crown, and knocked on the stone bar, interrupting Li's lady.

Li Ci was calm, looking coldly at the lady of the Li family who wanted to provoke trouble, and said: "Is she doing well, what has it to do with me? Could it be that I forced her to marry into the Liu family?"

The lady of the Li family couldn't prevent her from saying this, and she was stunned.

"The lady of the Lu family prides herself on being noble and pure, and she doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as us vulgar fans. I have always tolerated it. Since this marriage was achieved by her painstakingly, there should be a spectrum of things after the marriage. "Yu Chai The lady of the Lu family in "Record" is excellent, and there are lovers in the world who form a family, but in reality, how can there be so many Yingying and Hongniang, and how can there be so many Pei Sheng?"

What's more, even if the infatuated male protagonist of "The Story of the Jade Hairpin" has almost twists and turns, and finally becomes famous and becomes a family member with the wife of the Lu family, the relationship between them is no longer the same as before.

"Since she got cousin Liu with all her heart and soul, then no matter what happens in the future, she must be responsible for it herself! I didn't get along well with my cousin, but he came to ask me for a crime. It really is—— I'm used to it, thinking that everyone in the world You have to go around her. Miss Li, if you make friends with her, please give me a sentence: This is a disease and it needs to be cured!"

After the cannonball finished, Li Ci added viciously in his heart, a bitch is hypocritical!

Unexpectedly, the fourth lady of the Fu family, who is usually gentle and delicate, would say such cruel words. The lady of the Li family was terrified. After several hints from the maid, she came back to her senses and said embarrassingly: "It turned out that I overstepped. Lu It is their husband and wife's business that the wife of the Liu family does not like him, so I shouldn't... meddle in my own business."

Li Ci said: "The lady of the Li family can understand this truth, so it is not in vain to waste my words."

After finishing speaking, he floated the ear cup back into the water, and continued to flow the cup of Qushui, full of laughter.

But after this episode, everyone looked at her again with some pity, but she pretended not to know, and kept urging the drinker to compose poems to add to the fun.

It wasn't until the Golden Crow sank to the west and the Moon Rabbit rose to the east that he returned disappointed.

……

……

Zi Niangzi made good friends with the Fu family, and she was ready to leave only after all the girls' carriages had gone.

When he was about to get into the car, he pulled Li Ci reluctantly, and said, "I know you are determined to let go of the Liu family's Erlang. The Lu family's daughter deliberately provoked trouble again, it is really too much."

But Li Ci said: "Let it go, of course, but even if you let it go, he is still my cousin. Cousin and cousin are not happy, and it is common sense to find cousin to complain. To speak harshly is just because you can't understand Lu The house daughter's self-proclaimed appearance seems to be full of dirty people in the world, and she is the only one who is sober."

Zi Niangzi said regretfully: "It can be seen that you still miss him in your heart."

Li Ci sighed, and said, "He's already married, so what can I do if I think about it? Do I want him to stop his wife and marry again? He may be willing, but I absolutely don't want to abuse myself like this."

Although the words were high-sounding, Li Ci knew that the only reason for rejecting Liu Jia Erlang was that she clearly knew that what Liu Erlang liked was the jade speech that passed away when he was ten years old, not the current Li speech.

How deceitful and harmful it is to the original relatives of the body to return the soul from the corpse. After all, she is not shameless enough to calmly take all the benefits given to the original owner of the body for herself.

It's a pity that it has become a reality to be reborn as the fourth wife of the Fu family. She can only do her best to make up for them.

But Zi Niangzi didn't know about these thoughts, she just thought that Li Ci had someone else she liked, and said: "Actually, the Ye family Erlang I met last time is also very good. He is already a fourth-rank general at a young age, sister Elder sister is the current empress, her future is bound to be limitless. Although her appearance is not as romantic as Erlang of the Liu family, she can still be regarded as pretty, not to mention that my father always said that a man should choose an honest one."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and said: "And I think he is quite interested in you, and he saved your life. If you can agree with each other——it's not bad."

Li Ci suddenly felt her cheeks burning hot, and spit: "Little girl, stop talking nonsense! See if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

Zi Niangzi knew that she was getting angry from embarrassment, she quickly rolled into the carriage, waved her hand and said: "I'm leaving, let's talk about it next time!"
