Red makeup against the world

Chapter 110

Suddenly encountering this change, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing.Although Xu Wenyu didn't understand, but felt that his grandmother and elder sister were in a bad mood, he held Xu Wanzhen's hand obediently and said nothing.

A few people were thinking about their thoughts, and another quarter of an hour later, Xu Le'an's voice sounded outside the door, saying, "Old lady, Missy."

Yulu stepped forward and opened the door, Xu Le'an came in and reported politely: "Old Madam, I have already met Mr. Si, and I have waited a little longer. Mr. Si has made arrangements. In two minutes, we can go directly to the prison visit."

Xu Wanzhen glanced at the hourglass, and said: "Grandmother, it's not yet noon. The building is full of the prince's people now, and we have no choice but to wait here. Why don't we go to Jiashanfang's house to rest and take a look along the way?" Sister Ru Niang."

This arrangement is good, Mrs. Xu nodded.

A group of people walked down the second floor and came to the lobby of the restaurant.Along the way, the prince's bodyguards could be seen everywhere, and everyone stood upright without looking sideways, turning a blind eye to their appearance.It can be seen that their military discipline is strict and well-trained.

Xu Wanzhen was secretly relieved that he did not see the prince again.

Shopkeeper Zhou came up to greet him, and handed over the food box to Xu Le'an, which contained food and wine that had been ordered in advance and was going to visit the prison.Send them out of the restaurant and into the carriage.

The prince was in the special room on the third floor, through the window, watching the figure of Ping Ting downstairs getting into the carriage.Playing with the sapphire wine glass in his hand, a bewitching smile appeared on his handsome face, and he was in a good mood.Come to "Zuibailou" this time, and there will be unexpected gains, not bad!

Inside the room was a man with a tangle of hair and a high crown, with a thin and vigorous figure.But at this moment, it seemed as if there were no bones in his body, and he was slumped on a soft couch.Dressed in a purple tribute satin cross-collar safari suit, he felt lazy in it, and asked, "What can make His Royal Highness so happy?"

The prince took a sip of his wine and said, "Meet a little lady, she can be called a beauty. Bozhou, if you meet, you must be interested."

The Bozhou he was talking about was Shi Jingze, the eldest son of Duke An's mansion, and Bozhou was his cousin.

This is a first-class rich and idle person in the capital. An Guogong is one of the four founding kingdoms and started his career with military exploits.It is not as good as those generations of wealthy families, but the title is hereditary. In the Gaoman Dynasty, it was a first-class noble family.

Mr. An Guogong Shi thinks clearly, the power of the family is already so great, if he wants to make progress, the emperor should not feel at ease.Therefore, the military power was handed over early, and the descendants of the clan just followed the steps, and they were enlightened when they needed to be enlightened, and they went to the academy when they should go to the academy.Not better than others, not much worse than others, take the golden mean.

The family rules were also established, and the descendants of the Shi family in the line of An Guogong were prohibited from participating in the imperial examinations and taking part in the seizure of the heir, so as to be pure ministers of the emperor.When the children grow up, they don't ask their children and grandchildren to be promising.It is good for the eldest son to inherit the title, and the rest of the children and grandchildren will give some family property and live by themselves.Whether you are doing well or not, you can ask for more blessings.

This Shi Jingze is the eldest grandson of Mr. Shi, who was born smart and eager to learn.Since he was a child, he followed Mr. Anguo Gongshi behind him, and learned all eighteen martial arts.He hired a private school teacher to enlighten him, and he could learn a little bit of reading without forgetting it. The teacher called him a child prodigy.

When he was young, Mr. Shi often sighed: "It would be great if such a good child was born in another family! He will surely achieve a great career, what a pity!"

Shi Jingze gradually grew up and became more sensible, and gradually understood that since he was born, he was doomed to become a nobleman.His identity is sensitive, so the emperor will be suspicious, it's better to keep a low profile.

But with nowhere to use his skills, it became absurd over time.He mixed up with the dandies in Beijing, led eagles and beasts to ostentatiously passed away, and did a lot of bullying.The Prince of Beijing, the King of Qi, and the King of Chu all made friends with him one after another, hunting, swimming in rivers, appreciating beauties holding oirans, and getting together from time to time.

As for him, keep in mind the family precepts and never refuse anyone who comes.As long as it is the banquet of the prince and lord, he will come every time he invites him, and he is impartial, and it is impossible to see what his position is.

Hearing that there are beauties, Shi Jingze's eyes lit up, he sat up half his body and said, "Zecheng, are you lying to me? I don't know how many beauties in this capital." After finishing speaking, he lazily leaned forward .Zecheng is the surname of Prince Wei Mingxian.

The prince knew his character, hunting and swimming in the lake were all lack of interest, and only talking about beauties could lift his spirits.He chuckled lightly and said, "I'm not lying to you, she is the granddaughter of Tu Shanzhang of 'Songxi Academy'. It was on the second floor here just now, and she just entered Beijing a few days ago. Of course, you have never seen it."

"Has your Highness seen her?"

The crown prince shook his head and said: "Miss Boudoir, how can it be so easy to see, wearing a veiled hat."

Shi Jingze asked: "Then why is she called a beauty?"

"When I was outside the window, the king glanced at her."

"Oh?" Now Shi Jingze became interested and sat up straight all of a sudden.The prince has always had a high eye for judging beauties, since he has seen them well, they must be good.

After thinking for a while, he felt worried again, and said, "Master Tu Shan's granddaughter, this is not good."

In addition to the crown prince and Shi Jingze, there are several men in the house, namely Wei Huahao, the son of Qianyang Prince, Cheng Jingtong, the eldest grandson of the Anping Houfu, and Tang Ding, the Yin son of Jingzhaofu, all of them are either rich or noble. people.

Among them, the prince is the oldest, already in his thirties, and there are many health regimens in the palace. He practiced martial arts diligently but is not good at women, and he is quite self-disciplined in life. He looks like a young man in his twenties.Cheng Jingtong is the youngest, only 17 years old, and has not yet married.

Hearing what Shi Jingze said, Cheng Jingtong said with a smile: "Brother Shi's ability, isn't that easy to catch?"

Tang Ding sneered and said, "Who is Tu Shanchang? If you don't understand, don't just talk about it."

Cheng Jingtong blushed upon hearing this, and stopped talking.He is a son of the rich and powerful, and he really doesn't understand civil servants. He is just trying to curry favor with Shi Jingze.An Anping Marquis Mansion is not enough to look at in front of the prince.

In order to avoid embarrassment for him, Wei Huahao smoothed things over and asked, "Mr. Tu Shan, please speak honestly."

Tang Ding claimed to be a family of civil servants, and Jingzhao Mansion was at the foot of the emperor, in charge of the defense of the capital, and his family was also the target of the prince's wooing.Although Tang Ding made friends with the prince, he always looked down on second-rate dignitaries like the Anping Marquis.

It's just that the Prince of Qianyang came forward to smooth things over, so he got off the donkey and said, "Mr. Tu Shan is the former Guozijian offering wine, a model scholar, and a great Confucian in the world." Speaking of this collective idol of civil servants, Tang Ding thought Luminous, said: "Then I somehow offended the late emperor, so I went to the suburbs of Beijing to open the 'Songxi Academy'."

Everyone here is the son of the rich and powerful. Except for the prince who knows something, everyone else is very unfamiliar with Mr. Tu Shan.In their circle, it was rare to hear such news, and they all listened attentively.

Tang Ding couldn't help feeling a little proud when he saw the people quiet down, and continued, "Mr. Tu Shan is now over eighty years old, and he is still in good spirits. 'Songxi Academy' is a sacred place for my generation of students, and they flock to it. But Mr. Tu Shan There is a characteristic that he is extremely protective of his weaknesses."

Glancing at Shi Jingze, he jokingly said, "Brother Shi is married, so it may not be easy for him to kiss Fangze."

Shi Jingze said sadly, "That's right."

The crown prince smiled slightly. He had always wanted to bring Duke An under his command, but Shi Jingze was so slippery that he refused to accept it.This time, maybe it will be a good opportunity.
