Chapter 5 Banquet Gossip
"What the hell happened at that time?"
Hongyu hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Originally, the slave maid thought it was no big deal, but I saw those people just now, and I knew their relationship, and suddenly felt that this matter was quite big." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Chu Ziyan hurriedly looked around, and there was no one moving.
Then, she pulled Ruby aside and asked, "What happened that day?"
"That day, when we came out to find Cuizhu, at the end of last month, in the girls' school, we happened to see the eldest lady taking over a burden from a grandmother. When the eldest lady saw the slave and maid coming over, she looked calm, but the slave and maid felt that there was still something wrong with her. As for what's wrong, I can't say what's wrong, but the strange thing is that she actually argued with the slave maid that Aunt Chunhua found someone to send it.
Supposedly, this matter is a trivial matter, and the slave maid should not remember it. But when I saw the five princesses just now, the grandmother followed behind the five princesses, as if she was very embarrassed. When she saw the appearance and expression of the grandmother, the slave maid was very sure that the last time she saw the eldest lady was the grandmother, the grandmother behind the fifth princess. ”
"Oh?" Chu Ziyan asked with a somewhat serious expression, "Are you sure?"
Hongyu nodded and said, "It may not be accurate for the slave to recognize the way, but it is very accurate to recognize people." You can't be mistaken, there is a black mole in the corner of the left eye of the grandmother, which is easy to recognize. ”
Chu Ziyan pondered for a while, and then said, "You bury this matter in your stomach, don't talk about it to others." ”
"Yes, the slave knows. ”
Chu Ziyan thought, how could Chu Ziqian have a connection with the Fifth Imperial Concubine Shen Mengtong? In her previous life, she didn't see it at all, she just suspected that Chu Ziqian and Zhu Yong's marriage was going a little too smoothly. According to Chu Ziqian's idea, she must marry a promising child of a family, and at the worst she must find a son from a poor family who can read.
However, knowing that Zhu Yong was just from a solid family background, and other people who were not very good at it, he still married happily. Even Aunt Chunhua has been really happy for some days, and I am afraid that the silver alone will not make her so happy. Even after Zhu Yong's death later, the eldest sister Chu Ziqian could become Su Zhiyuan's concubine very smoothly.
What kind of person is Su Zhiyuan, he can't afford to be early, what is the reason why he is willing to marry a newly widowed concubine of the Hou Mansion as a concubine, and he is so pampered that he doesn't even give himself face.
I used to think that it might be because Chu Ziqian would greet her and explain gently, but now that I think about it, if these two things were alone, Su Zhiyuan would at most treat her as an outer room, rather than taking her home.
It seems that there must be something inside that I don't know.
At this time, Chu Ziqian, who was still grounded, avoided everyone and took out the burden from behind the Buddhist shrine. In fact, she took the initiative to ask for grounding, and she didn't go to the flower festival. Because of the Flower Dynasty Festival, Chu Ziyan will still fall into the water. The person who arranged this gave her three tips a month ago, to be opened in order. He also gave her a set of clothes, saying that it would come in handy.
"Chu Ziyan, although you are an idiot, haven't you always wanted to be taken seriously? Hahaha"
The girl who was sweeping the floor outside the door trembled all over, and said in her heart: This eldest lady can't hold back the problem, it's really pitiful, provoked the second miss, otherwise where would she be here.
Chu Ziyan, who was worried, didn't know at all, and someone scolded her behind her back. I just stayed by the rockery with Hongyu and talked, but I didn't say a few words, and the spring warbler came back.
"Second Miss, now Princess Yurong has come to the main hall with the two little county lords. The banquet is about to begin, and Madame is waiting for you to come over. ”
"Okay, let's get over here. ”
There was no superfluous word, and the yellow warbler next to me was a little strange, could the second lady who was difficult to speak really disappear? This should be a good thing.
Chu Ziyan returned to the main hall, only to find that not long after she went out, Princess Yurong came out, with her two daughters, Zhou Sining and Zhou Siyu, sitting on the main stage.
After they had saluted her, they all sat down in their seats. Chu Ziyan naturally sat next to the Li family, and she also made up her mind today, so she followed the Li family and didn't go anywhere.
A grandmother beside Princess Yurong took out a huge Dongzhu and said, "Thank you for coming today,...... The princess specially prepared a foreign tribute pearl and wanted to give it to a young lady who was present today. I just don't know ......."
Mama talked at length for a long time, and it was very crowning, which means, ladies and sons, please come to the stage to show yourself. If the performance is good, give away a Dongzhu. It's just such a thing, and everyone is gearing up and wants to show it on stage. It's really worthy of the princess's side, and that's really tactful.
However, wherever you go to the banquet, you can get a lot of news. Whoever makes the banquet have a lot of people, and when there are many people, the mouth will be more mixed. At this time, there are many people at the bottom who are talking to each other.
"Have you heard that the princess's only son is coming back from the academy today? ”
"Yes, yes, I also heard that the princess's only son did not go to the national prison, but went to the White Deer Academy. ”
"White Deer Academy, what kind of place is that?"
"It is the most famous academy in Dafeng, and it is as famous as Guozijian. There are also a lot of good gentlemen in it, and there is a ...... in Bailu Academy that no other academy has."
"What's that?"
"What's the point of saying this, there are not many people in Bailu Academy every time, and the dean of the academy is too difficult to deal with. Let's talk about something else, I heard that there have been a few things going on in the capital recently. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't the capital select a few oirans a while ago, and in less than a month, those oirans were gone. ”
Someone next to him immediately interjected: "Is it ransomed?"
"I don't know, it's just the five major Oiran, and everyone should have a lot of redemption money. Who can take out so much money at the same time? ”
“……”
"Also, these Oirans used to come from the Xihua Building, and later they were sold to several other flower buildings. It was unknown before, but then it became popular all of a sudden, and it disappeared before it could pick up customers for a few days. This is not right, you must know that Hualou wants to cultivate an Oiran is very expensive. Even if she wants to redeem herself, she has to make enough money for the building. ”
As if sensing the unkind eyes of the people around her, the person who spoke, the young woman in pink lowered her voice a little, and hurriedly defended: "I...... I've heard about it, too. ”
At this time, someone began to whisper: "Do you know, her father-in-law seems to have been sleeping in flowers and willows, and ...... all day long"
"Officials can't be a**, how can he?"
