17 The Four Sons of Jinling
When Lian Tao first arrived in the capital, he had not heard of the name of the fourth prince of Jinling, and when he looked at Su Jinhong in front of him, he was both surprised and felt that it was reasonable.
Speaking of this, of course, Su Jinhong is not good at boasting, and only smiles and drinks tea.
Cheng Ai heard her speak for the first time in the first time when she encountered a legendary figure, and her eyebrows immediately danced: "The fourth prince of Jinling, it first came out of the boudoir of the noble house, and now even the people know about it, and no one knows it." ”
"This first one is the prince of King Lu mentioned by Brother Su, it should be Brother Su's cousin, right?"
Su Jinhong coughed and corrected: "It's my cousin, he is still one year younger than me." ”
Cheng Ai stuck out his tongue, looking a little funny: "The prince of King Lu is also known as Ji Fa Gongzi, just like Brother Su, who dares to call him this nickname will die." ”
"Ji Fa? Zhou Wu Wang Ji Fa? Isn't it a compliment to call him King Wu of Zhou? What does that mean? Lian Tao was confused.
Ling Xiang was also aroused by curiosity, and pricked up his ears to listen.
"Actually, it's a touch-and-go homonym! Let's just say that this prince is a fiery temper, and he has everything he wants. Cheng Ai said and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.
Lian Tao disagreed: "Can you still rank the fourth son of Jinling like this?" Then he remembered that King Lu was Su Jinhong's cousin, and he felt embarrassed and quickly shut up.
Cheng Ai said: "Didn't the elder brother of the Su family just say that the prince of the family beat the son of the Tang family?" This is not an uncommon thing, there are many official sons and local ruffians who have been beaten by him, and they have all been made into nursery rhymes and sung on the streets. ”
Su Jinhong probably thought of his turtle-haired cousin, and actually laughed to himself, and sighed: "It is also a miracle that he has not been deprived of the position of the son of the world so far!" ”
Ling Xiang thought to himself, known as the bloodthirsty wolf king, the old emperor was registered as the emperor's grandson, and the powder keg that was about to explode sat at the feet of the Son of Heaven as the prince's son, it seems that the emperor has a very strong taste and prefers young people who do not follow the usual path.
Cheng Ai finally accepted the smile: "I didn't have the opportunity to see the prince, but I heard that he is handsome, especially liked by noble girls, according to the official media, the number of famous ladies who want to marry him as the princess is more than the number of people who want to be the wife of the emperor and grandson, so he ranks first among the four princes." ”
Ling Xiang shook his head secretly, it seemed that his cousin had hardly read any books, and he copied all the words of the market slang, and he was ignorant.
Sure enough, Su Jinhong couldn't help but correct: "Where did the official media list come from, it is all a fallacy, that is, he is handsome, and ...... It's just a matter of opinion. ”
Cheng Ai was embarrassed, and hurriedly said the second son: "On this, the identity can be higher than the prince of King Lu, he is the old son of the old emperor, the old man, he was named King Jing at the age of nine, and then he was very proficient in music and rhythm, and the old emperor changed his title to the king of law, and the title is different from other princes, whether it is the piano or the strings, the flute that blows the mouth, everything can be amazing. ”
Ling Xiang finally couldn't hold back and sneered.
Cheng Ai didn't know what her cousin was laughing at, she was very satisfied with her performance today, and she used the elegant things she heard in the opera and singing songs on weekdays, Su Jinhong seemed to be very concerned about her cousin at first, but since she started to speak, gradually her attention was all on her.
Cheng Ai didn't make a mistake with the instrument she was playing before, Ling Makeup was already very surprised, who knew that she still showed her tail and actually moved out of the embattled.
Cheng Ai unconsciously glared at his cousin and continued: "Of course, His Royal Highness King Law not only has outstanding attainments in music and rhythm, but also inherits the beauty of Chen Guiren, and his appearance is better than Pan An. ”
Ling Xiang nodded: "My sister thinks she has seen Chen Guiren." ”
Su Jinhong restrained the urge to laugh, and finally pulled the corners of his mouth.
Lian Tao glanced at Cheng Ai and simply smiled heartily.
Cheng Ai's face turned white, his eyes overflowed with resentment, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "The eldest cousin is very knowledgeable, if you know, you must be better than me." ”
When Ling Xiang first arrived in the capital, where did he know what the fourth son of Jinling was, naturally he couldn't compete with Cheng Ai, and still smiled lightly: "My cousin said it movingly, don't sell it, just finish it in one go." ”
Cheng Ai measured that her cousin was still teasing herself, and her face couldn't ease.
Or Su Jinhong said in a round game: "Cousin, don't be angry, how can you not see that your sister is playing with you?" It's rare to have a Jinling pass, how do people outside evaluate me and others, that is, I also want to hear it. ”
Lian Tao saw that Su Gongzi was called by his cousin, and his heart became closer.
Cheng Ai saw Su Jinhong speak softly like water, so he naturally lost his breath, twisted his veil and said: "Speaking of the third one, this is the son of the hometown of Wenyuan Pavilion Yao Pavilion, who is ranked ninth, known as Peach Blossom Yao Jiu, but I don't know if it is because of his romance or appearance. ”
Su Jinhong asked: "What romance does he have that circulates in the community?" ”
"Several!" Cheng Ai was ashamed and excited, "The first thing is that he used a clairvoyant mirror to peek at the girl of Jiqinghou's family next door, and was discovered, people naturally refused, and the two families had to say goodbye, the girl later managed to meet him, and he was willing to marry him, who knew that he fell in love with the daughter of a bachelor of Hanlin again, and he did not agree to the family affair." was punished by Yao Ge Lao to kneel, and he didn't let go if he wanted to lose his breath, so that the girl of Hou Ye's family hanged herself to die, and finally there was no way. However, his starling brother was righteous, and he actually followed his parents' words and married the Jiqing Hou family, which solved the mess. As a result, Yao Jiugongzi came to relieve himself, and his mother wanted to tell him the young lady of the Hanlin family, but he was not happy again. Although he has a handsome character, his reputation is bad, and the noble family does not dare to kiss him again. Is that how it is? ”
The last sentence to ask was Su Jinhong, and after listening to Yao Jiu's anecdotes, he couldn't help but say: "The people of Jinling have good morals, and they only pass on the skin." ”
Just as he was about to talk about the person in front of him, a mother-in-law outside came in with a curtain, as if her face was stiff, and she squatted down with a smile: "Madame heard that the girl of the Ling family is here, so she asked the slave maid to come and invite her." ”
Originally, Su Jinhong said that he would send someone to the backyard to see his mother and sister-in-law, and he didn't see him send anyone, but this time Mrs. Xu sent someone to invite, which was a little unreasonable.
Ling Xiang hurriedly got up and said to the mother-in-law: "When I met my son-in-law, I realized that it was an old acquaintance, and I didn't want to make a fight, and I was about to go to see Mrs. Lao's mother." ”
The woman said again: "Please come with me, girls." ”
Boss Cheng Ai was unhappy, almost pouted, and finally knew that this was the etiquette, and repeatedly said goodbye to Su Jinhong before following Ling Xiang out.
Su Jinhong was sent to the bottom of the hanging flower door leading to the inner courtyard before saying goodbye, which made people feel ironed.
went to Mrs. Xu to give a gift, accompanied her for more than half an hour, it was already time to eat, Mrs. Xu left the meal, Ling makeup resigned, she didn't insist too much, so someone sent it out.
From beginning to end, Miss Su never showed up at all, which shows how Mrs. Xu didn't pay attention to the Ling family's visit, and the only thing that could make her look at it was a courtesy.
This time, Mrs. Xu received the gift or was affectionate on the surface, but in fact it was estranged from the old appearance, with little effect, it was an unexpected joy to talk directly to Su Jinhong, and Mrs. Xu could basically save the effort of running errands and flattering in the future, Ling Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the house to find his uncle to discuss Su Jinhong's shareholding.
