The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 200 Gossip
Every time the scientific examination is over, after the new champion is produced, it is the time for families with daughters in Jinling City, or families with sons to rejoice and get married.

It is also spring at this time, when the spring blossoms and all things recover, and it is also the time for unmarried young men and women to fall in love.

A few days ago, when the list was released, many new scholars were arrested by the list, which was very much for a moment to talk about.

Now the son, that is, the storytellers in the teahouses and restaurants in Jinling City are all talking about the recruitment of son-in-law by various families.

On a street near the imperial palace in Jinling City, there is a tall building named Panlou. At this time, on the high platform in the lobby of the first floor of Panlou, there is a very famous storyteller talking about the matter of catching a son-in-law: "Everyone should How? But it turned out that Fang’s family, a great salt merchant, had a daughter who was twenty-eight years old. She was as beautiful as a flower, and she had saved a lot of dowry. Many servants stood guard under the list, and as soon as that Jinshi Zhong called out, he was tied up by his shoulders..."

"What happened after that?" Someone from below urged, "Did Jinshi Zhong marry a girl from the Fang family?"

The storyteller sighed: "Oh, the Fang family has taken a fancy to Zhong Jinshi, but Zhong Jinshi has already married a wife, and immediately shouted out when he was tied to the Fang family. The Fang family is not like that. He let it go, and later wanted to tie another one, but found that all the young and good-looking people who had seen it were captured, and they could only sigh in vain."

"Haha..." Someone laughed from below: "Who told the Fang family not to ask if they are married first, there is nothing they can do."

The storyteller slapped the desk: "Speaking of which, when the list was released, I don't know how many people were planning to catch the young masters of the Ji family under the list, but this young master of the Ji family was also very slippery. He didn't even go to see the list that day, but called his family The servants went to see it, how many people regretted it, but there were also those high-ranking and powerful families who were confident and wanted to end up with the Ji family. If you are willing to marry into Ji's family, the seventh and eighth masters of Ji's family are the sweet pastry, how many people are waiting to grab it."

At this time, a high-ranking person from another place who didn't understand the situation asked, "Why is that? That young master of the Ji family looks like a fairy?"

Someone laughed again, and the storyteller smiled: "No, the young master of Ji's family is Zhou Zheng, but the one in Jinling City is much better. How many people want to marry into Ji's family? High weight, secondly, the Ji family's family style is upright; thirdly, the eight sons of the Ji family are all promising; fourthly, the Ji family does not take concubines..."

Everyone who spoke out said everything, and many families with daughters were thinking in their hearts. This Ji's family is indeed a good family. Who would have a girl who would not be willing to marry such a family?It's just that everyone wants to marry, maybe the Ji family has high requirements for marrying a daughter-in-law.

I also heard the storyteller say: "Nowadays the hottest thing in Jinling City is the invitation card for Princess Xiangyang's flower banquet. I heard that Princess Xiangyang loves to hold flower banquets. Every spring, she will hold several flower banquets. Many wives will be invited to the venue, and many girls and boys will also be invited to go there. It is said that it is a flower viewing feast, but it is a good place for wives to meet son-in-law and daughter-in-law. This time, Princess Xiangyang invited Mrs. Ji to go there. I also invited the commander's wife, how many people heard about this and tried to find a way to ask for that post."

On the second floor of the Pan Building, there were two handsome young masters sitting at a table facing the storyteller, among them the long-faced young master said to the round-faced one: "Gu, no, young master, I also heard that Ji's family is a top-notch man." Good people, why don't you find a way to ask for a post."

The round-faced one took out a fan and tapped the long-faced head: "Don't you know that you are your son, but how is it so easy to find the post from Princess Xiangyang's house? Face, our family hasn’t had a flower viewing feast for many years... Well, we don’t have that kind of blessing.”

The long-faced one was a little disappointed, and it took a while before he sighed: "Young master is so kind, it's a pity..."

"It's been a while since we've been out, so we should go back earlier." The round-faced young master got up and went downstairs with a long face, out of Panlou, walked on the street for a while, then called a carriage and drove back home.

The carriage stopped in front of a house, and the two young masters got out of the car, only to see the word "Xing Fu" written by this house.

The two knocked on the door and went in through the side door. Before entering the second door, a girl came forward with a smile: "The third lady is probably back, the wife is looking for you."

"What did Madam say?" The round-faced young master turned out to be a lady, and also the third daughter of the Xing family, known as the third lady Xing.

The girl smiled: "The madam didn't say anything, she just said to ask the lady to choose beautiful clothes, and tomorrow I will go to Rong's house with my wife as a guest."

"The Rong family?" Mrs. Xing San was stunned for a while: "Which Rong family?"

The girl pointed to the main courtyard: "Third Lady, just go and ask the wife, I will never know."

Mrs. Xing San thought for a while and took the girl to Mrs. Xing's room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Xing holding two clothes and gesticulating. clothes."

Mrs. Xing took a few steps forward, and saw Mrs. Xing took two dresses, one pink and one apricot yellow, both of which were bright colors, but she didn't like it very much. Mrs. Xing picked up a skirt on the bed. An azure dress made two gestures towards her body: "This is good, let's just take this."

"You girl." Mrs. Xing was a little annoyed: "Tomorrow is not as simple as just being a guest. Originally, we were not qualified to go to the flower viewing banquet at the Princess Xiangyang Mansion, and we small families also take turns to be hosts." Hold a few flower viewing banquets, firstly, to get acquainted with everyone, and secondly, anyone who has an unmarried brother or sister can also see the marriage. The young master who married a wife, there are also several young masters in the same clan who have never married, the Rong family is also a scholarly family, the family tradition is good, and we are considered to be in the right family..."

Before Mrs. Xing finished speaking, Mrs. Xing San was already sitting beside her with a smile: "What did the mother say? The ones who came to see me were not those young masters. They were all the wives and grandmas in charge of the house. For my brothers and daughters-in-law who like to be showy, don’t they all like to look dignified and calm, this day the blue clothes are good, better than the bright ones.”

Mrs. Xing thought about it for a while and thought it was very true, so she didn't say anything else.

When the third lady Xing changed her clothes for her to see, Mrs. Xing sighed: "The Ji family... that kind of family is the best, not to mention Ji Xiang's identity, it's just the man of the Ji family I don’t know how many people have been robbed of not taking concubines. Although our family is also a family of officials, it is really nothing in Jinling City. If not, Mother will fight for you, so that you can marry Go there and wait for someone's house."

Seeing Mrs. Xing sighing, Mrs. Xing San smiled and talked to her a few more words, telling her a few jokes she heard outside, and then coaxed Mrs. Xing to laugh.

On the second day, Mrs. Xing really brought Mrs. Xing San to Rong's house, and when she entered the door, she saw many wives of officials of the sixth and seventh ranks brought their own wives. It is also comfortable to talk and laugh.

Mrs. Xing asked Mrs. Xingsan to visit Mrs. Rong, the master's family, and invited a few young ladies to talk a lot. Then she asked Mrs. Rong to come over to meet her, and told her to take the young ladies to play in the garden.

After leaving the door of the main house, the lady Rong led everyone through the corridor on the right with a smile. After a long road, they came to the garden. The Rong family's garden is not big, but it is very beautiful.

It was spring, when all the flowers were in full bloom, and the girls couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw the flowers and grass in the garden, and all of them let go of their courage to play.

Mrs. Xing San has a calm temperament, and she was not in a hurry to play. She found a place to sit for a while, and saw Miss Rong fighting grass next to her, so she went over to watch for a while, waiting for Mrs. Rong to die In high spirits, he asked Mrs. Xing San to play, but Mrs. Xing San shook her head.

Miss Rong felt a little embarrassed for ignoring Mrs. Xing San, so she pulled Mrs. Xing San to talk, and the two of them sat by the rockery and took some fish food while feeding the fish while talking a few words.

While talking, I heard a voice from the other side, but it was a very shrill woman's voice, the woman shouted: "Didn't you look at the road, I'm walking well, why are you stepping on my feet?"

Another pitiful voice whispered: "I'm really sorry, I saw a little bird fall from the tree just now, I was so pitiful, so I picked her up and wanted to send her to a nest in the tree, but I couldn't reach it , I'm trying to find a way, if I offend you, I will apologize to you."

The previous woman said in a nasty voice: "Don't worry, there's no need, I want you to apologize, it seems like I'm being unreasonable, but tomorrow someone will say you're good, and it's not my fault."

"It was me or not." Later, the woman became more and more pitiful, and seemed to cry a little: "It's all my fault."

At this time, another woman came over and said with a smile to the women who came later: "Miss Yu, I asked you to help me find my girl, did you find it?"

It turned out that the later woman was Miss Rong's cousin, Mrs. Yu. This Mrs. Yu was famous for being gentle and kind. The third lady of the original sentence only said that she was a good person. When I saw her today, she only said rumors. letter.

Mrs. Yu apologized in a low voice: "I'm really sorry, I picked up a bird on the road, and I haven't found it for you yet, so I'll help you find it."

After another moment of silence, Mrs. Xing San noticed that Mrs. Rong curled her lips with disdain in her eyes.

In the hall, the wives and grandmas of each family gathered together, all praising the young lady of each family. Several wives have been surrounding Mrs. Yu to flatter: "Everyone says you can take care of people. I met your eldest lady today. It's really amazing." It’s really good, I’ve never seen such a gentle and kind person.”

Mrs. Yu was somewhat proud, but she was still modest.

At this time, a grandmother in charge said with a smile: "I heard the letter. The seventh and eighth masters of Ji Xiang's family have reached the age of marriage. This year, Mrs. Ji intends to show them their daughter-in-law. My natal second aunt's cousin knows Ji." Ma'am, I heard from her that the Ji family doesn't want to look for wives from those high-ranking and powerful families, and they want to show their wives to the seventh and eighth-rank officials, and they say they like the kind who are gentle and kind and don't like to argue. I see Now, Mrs. Yu is very suitable, maybe your family has a great fortune."

"Really?" As soon as these words came out, several wives fell in love, and they all said that although Mrs. Yu was better, the lady next to her was also good. Besides, the two masters of the Ji family should not only marry one wife, right? It's impossible to say that Mrs. Ji's own wife can also be seen by Mrs. Ji.

"Really." The grandma in charge agreed with a smile: "It's okay, if you don't believe me, just wait."

In this way, many people believed it and secretly calculated it.

Mrs. Yu became more and more complacent, and smiled at her sister-in-law, Mrs. Rong: "According to me, the daughter's family should be kind and kind. Your sister is really good, but her temper is too violent. She really should." Take good care of it."

What he said, it was as if her family had already made an engagement with Ji Xiang's family, and Mrs. Rong was very displeased by picking on Mrs. Rong like this.
