Chapter 32: Gossip
When Ji Shi spoke, her body trembled slightly, her face was even more sad, and her two hands were tightly grasping the silk handkerchief, as if she had expected that something had happened to Jing Yan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mrs. Jiang was taken aback by Ji's actions, she was the most kind-hearted, originally this kind of thing had nothing to do with her, at most she was concerned about a few words, but she leaned towards Ji's side, held her trembling hand and comforted: "Mrs. Wang, don't worry, maybe something is delayed on the road, don't think about it, no matter how bad it is, let's send someone out to look for it, I believe it will be found soon." ”
At this moment, a girl at the door ran over in a panic, it was the autumn flower beside Ji's side. Qiuhua cried with a sad face, trembling to Ji's side, pretending to say a few words, and glanced at the noble ladies beside her with a deep meaning.
When Ji Shi heard this, his eyes widened, and he covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief and cried sadly: "What can I do!" My eldest daughter-in-law, how come she got lost in the mountains! ”
At this time, sitting next to Mrs. Jiang was Dr. Guanglu's wife and Zuo Zhuguo's sister-in-law, these two were the most gossipy, and the rumors spread out in a moment at Wang Song's wedding.
Ji Shiqiang smiled, but his expression was evasive, as if he was afraid that others would know about his ugly things, and in the face of everyone's inquiries, he just said vigorously: "It's okay, Mrs. Jiang is right, it's just late, it's okay......
The more she pretended to be calm, the more the people around her believed that something was wrong. It's good now, the young lady of the dignified general's mansion was actually taken captive by the bandits, and the consequences are unimaginable.
"Yamanaka? Is it a mountain near Heikyo? Recently, I heard that there are a lot of bandits in this mountain, but I don't know if it's true or not......"
"Yes, yes, when I came here today, my carriage was going around, I was afraid that something would go wrong, and sure enough, ......"
Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows were wrinkled together, she had always eaten fasting and chanted Buddha, and she didn't like these women who were idle and chewing the root of their tongues: "No, even if the ordinary carriage is pulled in the wrong place, but the carriage of the Hussar General's Mansion has the family emblem on it, and it is impossible for ordinary bandits to have the courage to start, please be cautious in your words and deeds!" ”
The tears that Ji Shi had managed to hold back were falling like a line at this time: "There are a lot of carriages in Pingjing City today, and Yan'er doesn't like to be cumbersome, so she got into an ordinary carriage......"
As soon as he said this, he confirmed the conjecture that Jing Yan had an accident.
Everyone began to discuss this issue at once, and some people said that Miss Jing Er was pitiful, and this kind of thing happened soon after she got married. Some people also said that she deserved it, how could a dignified young lady sit in such a carriage. What's more, it is said that the eldest young master of the Wang family is a wife, looking at the crippled appearance, he is not promising, and he is not as graceful as the second young master of the Wang family.
Seeing the news spread more and more widely, although Ji's face was full of sadness, his heart was already secretly happy. People are terrible, and what they want is everyone's gossip. People's hearts are the most easily bewitched, as long as everyone thinks that Wang Luan is qualified to inherit the family business, then in the end, she will put it forward, which is the last straw that crushes the camel, and everything is at her fingertips.
Ji covered his face with a silk handkerchief, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. Ma Xiangyun sneered faintly on the side, I didn't expect it, Jing Yan, if you want us to make a fool of ourselves, we will want your life!
And the stone in Wang Jing's heart also fell to the ground, and now the palace will return to tranquility, and the good days of the eldest brother are over. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at the seat of the male guest on the other side, looking at these young talents through the twelve beauties, only to feel dizzy in front of her.
Mother promised herself that her future husband must be the dragon and phoenix among people, so it seems that it is not bad. But that empty chair ......
Ji was busy smug, Wang Jing's mind was on the man, and Ma Xiangyun was also intoxicated with the joy of victory, neither of them noticed that in the seat of the male guest opposite, Wang Song, who was dressed in a pale purple brocade robe, was pouring wine leisurely, chatting happily with Jing Kang beside him, without any worries on his face.
The news spread quickly, and almost everyone present knew the news of the disappearance of the eldest young lady of the palace, but seeing that Wang Song and Jing Kang were drinking happily on the other side, they were a little confused for a while.
Jing Kang is not worried, although he does not have deep feelings for this sister, he is the same as himself after all, surnamed "Jing". The life and death of my sister has little to do with me, but the honor and disgrace of the family are very important, and I can't let this sister affect my future.
So, Jing Kang enthusiastically picked up the wine jug from the handmaiden's hand and poured the fragrant wine juice into Wang Song's cup: "Wang Gongzi, the sister hasn't caused trouble to the palace, right?" ”
Wang Song's gentle face bloomed into a charming smile, this smiling tiger was full of words, clearly wanting to know whether he knew Jing Yan's whereabouts, such a traceless inquiry, it was really smart. But who he is, it doesn't matter who he is, let alone the son of the little Taifu.
Immediately pressed the hand that Jing Kang was about to raise, and pushed it down: "What Brother Jing said, it is really a blessing to be able to marry Ling Mei as a wife, and I will definitely get along with each other in the future, and I will not let Brother Jing down." ”
That's all going well.
Jing Kang's hand retreated, no longer enthusiastic, but he still had that mask-like smile on his face, which made people feel both close and alienated: "Then there is Prince Lao." ”
The music gradually stopped, and the twelve fairies of the Jade Mansion dancing in front of them suddenly retreated, but the eyes of those princes and nobles were still glued to it, until the servants in the palace shouted: "Look at the birthday gift!" Only then did they come back to their senses one by one. Facing the white eyes cast by the female guest, he smiled wryly.
Still, it's fascinating to see the birthday gift. Originally, the birthday celebration of the wealthy family was reported by the domestic servant when entering the door. But King Huai has always loved extravagance, and he wants everyone to see how precious these gifts are and how high his status is.
All the clans worked hard for this birthday banquet, and in order not to lose the battle and lose people when watching the birthday ceremony, they all spent a lot of money, and it was a hot one. It is also a symbol of strength, paving the way for future alliances and in-laws.
Just as everyone was about to take a glimpse of the birthday ceremony, King Huai, who was sitting on the upper seat, suddenly clapped his hands and shouted with a smile on his face: "Come on, turn off the lights, and present the holy gifts!" ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Look at the gifts in a good manner, why are you turning off the lights, this black light is blinding, what are you looking at, is King Huai old and stupid, the holy gifts, how can you fool casually!
The crown prince on the side also looked puzzled, and the crown princess lowered her head thoughtfully.
I saw two rows of respectful servants walking into the Jinling Palace, each holding a black flannel cloth in their hands, and walked to the glass lamp. They blew out the wick with ease, and darkness plunged them around.
Everyone took a deep breath at this moment, and in the darkness, people were instinctively afraid, and the longer it passed, the more uneasy they became. When everyone couldn't wait and talked about it one after another, a soft light inexplicably lit up in the Jinling Palace, and immediately reflected everyone's panic and incomprehension.
Before everyone could react for a while, they heard the young son of the official department suddenly shouting: "Night Pearl! It's all the pearl of the night! ”
