grandfather married

Chapter 186

When Ji Fushou went back, Ji Qiongzhi was already sitting with Mrs. Zhou. Seeing her appear, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Fushou was surprised, "Didn't Ah Zhi go to find someone to play with? Why are you sitting here?"

Ji Qiongzhi approached her ear, his face was reddish, with a little bit of shame, he muttered in a low voice: "Auntie, the girls here are from better families than me, I want to talk to them, when they hear Sibo They politely said that they had something to do, and they all stayed away from me. Aunt, did you also receive a cold reception, so you came back so quickly?"

Mrs. Zhou obviously also knew what happened to Ji Qiongzhi, she looked remorseful, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have let you two make friends, because I made you angry for nothing, they all look down on our family."

Ji Fushou pinched Ji Qiongzhi's face, "Since they don't want to play with you, then you shouldn't play with them anymore. It's 30 years from east to west, it's too early."

Ji Qiongzhi and Zhou Shi looked at each other, and suddenly they were full of confidence again, "That's right, brother was still white before, now he's a fifth-rank official, and when brother becomes bigger and bigger, they won't Dare to look down on us."

Ji Fushou raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and said nothing.

She looked around and suddenly found that there were fewer and fewer ladies and ladies in the garden. She grabbed a maid passing by them and asked, "Miss, where are those ladies going?"

The maid took a look at the direction they were leaving, and said with a smile: "They went to watch a drama in the Star Tower, and there are male guests over there. Do you want to go, girl? The male guests are watching downstairs, and the female relatives are upstairs. From the looks of it, there are stairs at the back of the building, so you don’t need to pass by the male guests in front, if the girl wants to go, the slaves can show you the way.”

As soon as Ji Fushou heard it, he understood that it was fake to watch dramas, and it was true to give young talents and ladies a chance to have a fair and honest contact.

In addition, there are wives by my side, so I am not afraid of gossip.

After Zhou Shi and Ji Qiongzhi finished listening, they didn't have much interest in going to the opera, so Ji Fushou might as well say: "Then please trouble the girl."

Zhou and Ji Qiongzhi looked at her in surprise, Ji Fushou pulled them to stand up, "Come on, let's go to the theater too."

What's so good about the scenery in this garden, it's not just flowers and plants, it's better to go to the theater.

Along the way, Mrs. Zhou pulled Ji Fushou and asked in a low voice next to her ear, "Ah Shou, do you want to see young talents?"

Even those girls' families looked down on their Ji family, so Zhou knew that it would be difficult to find a suitable young talent at the banquet.

Ji Fushou shook his head lightly, "No, I just want to go to the theater."

Among the young talents of the Great Qi Dynasty, which one can compare with Qi Guang?

Only then did Zhou relax, thinking that she had no intention of meeting young talents, she was no longer nervous and restrained. Anyway, no matter how well they do, not many people think highly of their family, so why bother to flatter them.

The Star Observation Building has four floors, the first floor is for male guests, the female family members are on the second, third and fourth floors, the highest-ranking female family members are on the second floor, and those with lower status are on the fourth floor.

The female relatives on the second floor can clearly see both the young girls on the stage and the male guests on the first floor, unlike the female relatives on the fourth floor, who can't even see the appearance of the male guests.

The three of Ji Fushou were taken up to the fourth floor. There were only a dozen female relatives on the fourth floor. When they saw them coming up, they took a look at them and asked politely. When they learned that they were the female relatives of General Ranger's family, the smile on their faces faded. up.

Most of the friends of the fourth prince are literati, and most of the people who come to the full moon banquet of his eldest son are civil servants, and there are very few military generals. Not much interest.

The seven or eight girls were very reserved at first, seeing that Ji Fushou and the other three were also alienated from them, and there was another commotion downstairs, they couldn't hold it back, leaned on the window sill, and quietly looked down.

"Oh, look at that man in the blue Hangzhou straight dress. He is tall and straight, and he is very handsome. I don't know if he is He Jiaerlang."

"Let me see, let me see. We are too far away, we can't see him clearly. It would be great if we can be on the second floor."

The tone is full of envy.

"Hey, there's that one, the one in the black robe, sitting next to His Highness Fourth Highness, he must be a well-known talent in the capital."

"Do you think the son of the Wang family will come?"

"Is that the prince from Zhongshu Ling's family? I heard that he has a brilliant literary talent. He must be the number one scholar in the lower class. He has a handsome appearance and gentle manner. Many girls in Beijing want to marry him."

"Don't be impatient, you're actually thinking about getting married."

"Hmph, you're still talking about me, who just stared at the gentleman below without blinking?"

The girls burst into laughter.

After Ji Fushou heard this, he generously pulled Ji Qiongzhi to the window lattice. The girls next to them saw the two of them, their smiles were slightly suppressed, and they stopped laughing.

Ji Fushou took a look and clicked his tongue lightly. Isn't the one sitting next to the fourth prince wearing black clothes Chi Qiguang?
As for others.
The fourth prince is the head of the house, and today he is sitting in the right seat. On the left and right are the first prince Li Yang and the third prince Li Chong. Next to the first prince is Chi Qiguang, and next to the third prince Li Chong is Li Gu.

She scanned the others again and found that Sibo was sitting at the outermost edge, drinking tea with a cup of tea in his hands, showing no signs of resentment.

She pointed to Ji Qiongzhi's position of Sibo, Ji Qiongzhi said "Hey", Ji Sibo noticed that someone was looking at him, looked up, and found that it was Sister and Auntie, he immediately smiled and waved to them .

Ji Qiongzhi also waved to him, and the girls next to him saw it and murmured: "In the public, greet the outsider shamelessly."

"That's my younger brother! Talking too much is not a woman's virtue. These girls are from famous families, so I hope they don't embarrass their parents outside."

Ji Qiongzhi's righteous words made several girls panicked, stomped their feet, and walked back to their seats one after another, refusing to stay by the window to look at the young talent.

The big show on the stage has officially started, and "The Story of the Moon Prayer Pavilion" is being performed.It tells the story of Ding Yuanju and Rong Zhenli who made a lifelong contract together during the war, but Wang=Rong's father objected and separated the two.Zhenli never forgets her old love, and prays to the moon at night to express her thoughts.But Ding Yuanju joined the army and fought bravely against the enemy, and later became a general. Rong's father did not stop the two of them, and the beauty of the two was fulfilled.

In this play, there are not only fighting scenes, but also scenes where the two rely on each other to tell each other, and even Rong Zhenli is praying to the moon to tell the sadness of her heart.It is suitable for men, women, young and old alike to watch. In the end, the male master is immediately granted the title of marquis and the beauty returns.

When the opera was over, Ji Fushou praised, "That Qingdan not only has a slim figure, but also has a good voice, and her movements and expressions are in place. Looking at her young age, she is really good at it."

Seeing Ji Fushou highly praised an actor, the girls next to him laughed "puchi", with contempt in their laughter.

"Sure enough, the country bumpkins have little experience. This troupe is called Chunxi Troupe, which specializes in singing for the royal family. Even the empress and the others often ask them to enter the palace to sing operas. The actors in the Chunxi Troupe are all from Jiaosifang. She is the most inferior lowly maidservant, yet there are still people who praise this lowly maidservant."

"That's right, it is said that all these lowly maidservants are good-looking, and those who are not good-looking are just handymen. Those who can perform on stage must have both appearance and figure. I heard that as long as they sing for the clan's children, they will be attracted to them. These actors will be left to warm their beds."

"Yeah, I don't know how dirty these lowly maidservants are. They are even lower than prostitutes. Prostitutes still have to pay for prostitutes. These actors, as long as the clan children say a word, even if they are allowed to accompany beggars, they have to let them go." That beggar is comfortable."

These girls chattered, and when they said these words, they kept their eyes on Ji Fushou, laughing at Ji Fushou's ignorance and stupidity.

Ji Fushou didn't bother to pay attention to these people. Instead, he looked at the stage. At this time, a group of people were juggling on the stage, causing everyone to applaud.

After the juggling performance was over, the headmaster of Chunxi Troupe brought a few performers who had removed their make-up to thank them.

Ji Fushou had good eyesight. When he saw the Qingdan who was following the class leader and was praised by her, her eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous, but her expression was elegant. She put on a pink brocade ribbon silk satin skirt, looking like a girl. Thin waist and round chest.

She frowned slightly. This Qingdan's appearance, temperament and figure are too easy to attract men's love.

Sure enough, she saw the fourth prince generously rewarding a plate of gold, then nodded to Qing Dan, said something unknown, the class leader bent down and nodded frequently with a smile on his face, but Qing Dan's face was slightly pale.

Ji Fushou shook his head helplessly, most of the women who joined the priest's workshop were former offenders' wives, and these people were indeed as lowly as those people said before, even inferior to domestic servants.With such a beautiful face, it's no wonder that she wants to stay and serve others.

After listening to the opera, it was time for the banquet.

The male guests went to the front yard, and the female relatives were ushered into the table by the maids. The three of Ji Fushou were sitting, surrounded by people who were listening to the opera together on the Star Observation Tower.

Their positions were at the back, but they could still see the main table. Ji Fushou said softly, "Why didn't the eldest princess come?"

On the main table, the fourth imperial concubine sat first, and on the left and right were the third and second imperial concubines and the third imperial concubine, followed by the fourth imperial concubine's mother, Mrs. Pingjinhou, and several other noble ladies.

There was a girl sitting next to Ji Fushou, who happened to hear what she said, leaned close to her, and said in a low voice with a gossipy face, "You don't know? No one in the official family in the capital knows about this matter. The eldest prince and concubine six I lost my pregnancy for a month, it was a boy, at that time the eldest prince even called all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, but they still couldn't save him, the eldest imperial concubine is confinement in the mansion."

Ji Fushou was startled, Du Qingshu had a miscarriage, is she still a boy?The son who had been looking forward to for so long is gone?
The girl still looked ready to move, as if she could see that Ji Fushou knew very little about the affairs between these female relatives, and wanted to tell her well, it happened that the maid served the food, so the girl settled down.

After the banquet was over, Ji Fushou took the Zhou family and the others to bid farewell to the fourth prince and concubine.

When getting into the carriage, I happened to meet Fang Zhenzhen again.

Seeing Ji Fushou's group, Fang Zhenzhen snorted coldly from the tip of her nose, and after getting into her own carriage, she rushed to take a step ahead of Ji's carriage.

The members of the Zhou family were all annoyed when they saw it. Only Ji Fushou looked at Fang Zhenzhen's faraway carriage thoughtfully. Fang Zhenzhen thought of a way to sneak in to attend the full moon banquet, why did she leave so soon?

Fang Zhenzhen's carriage stopped in front of a small house, the coachman knocked on the door, after the door opened, when he saw someone, he immediately raised the threshold, the carriage directly entered the door, and the door closed again.

Fang Zhenzhen got out of the carriage supported by Zijuan, and told the woman who came up to meet her, "Go and boil some buckets of hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

Sitting in the big bathtub, Fang Zhenzhen lowered her head and sniffed her arm, urging Zicuckoo, "Throw more petals, it's not enough."

Zijuan poured all the petals from the basket into it, then gently wiped Fang Zhenzhen's back, Zijuan said enviously: "Young Mistress, your skin is really smooth and tender, even the strength of a servant does not dare to be heavy." gone."

Fang Zhenzhen's bare hands slid down her neck, and she smiled complacently, "Of course, you don't see how many good things my aunt has brought me this year, even the bird's nest is tired of drinking it every day. I said I don’t want to drink it, but it’s not allowed, just stare at me and finish drinking.”

Zijuan knew about the relationship between Fang Zhenzhen and Li Yang, and said very flatteringly: "Isn't it right for the empress to love you? You gave birth to a grandson for the empress."

When mentioning her son, who was just born for almost two months, Fang Zhenzhen's smile became even wider, and there was deep contempt in her eyes, "My cousin still wants a son-in-law, so God knows her vicious"

Thinking that maybe her eldest cousin would be here soon, Fang Zhenzhen stopped talking and continued to take a bath.

After she finished washing, she put on a soft silver embroidered hibiscus tulle.

When Li Yang came in, what he saw was such a beautiful scene.

Seeing him coming in, Zijuan hurriedly blessed Fushen to go out, and when she closed the door, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the eldest prince impatiently embracing the young mistress.

Zijuan blushed and guarded the door for the two outside.

Li Yang was charming after drinking wine, and Fang Zhenzhen was a ripe peach, so they hugged each other and fell down on the big bed
From hanging around at noon until it was dark in the evening, Fang Zhenzhen inside asked Zijuan to prepare hot water.

When the two of them were tidied up, Fang Zhenzhen gave Li Yang an angry look, "Cousin, you see that my body is covered in bruises, what should I do if Li Shihong sees it?"

Li Yang hugged her and took a sip, "I know you must have a way to hide it from him."

Fang Zhenzhen glanced at him, snorted coldly, and pushed him away, "Cousin, you should quickly promote him, otherwise I will always be laughed at when I go out."

Li Yang was pushed away by her, straightened his clothes, and said angrily: "He hasn't arrived for the three-year hall election, how can he be promoted?"

Fang Zhenzhen glanced at him suspiciously, "Then how come Chu Lingjun, who is also a good man, is now a fifth-rank official?"

　[-] in [-].Li Shihong will soon discover the affair between the two.
