"Gongzi Qin, let's go."

The maidservant gave her salute at the door.

Qin Shisanlang nodded with a smile and looked at the lady standing under the corridor.

In any case, they treat each other with sincerity and courtesy, not as perfunctory and ignorant as before, which can be regarded as a gain.

"I'll go first." He smiled slightly and waved his hand at Cheng Jianniang in the door.

Cheng Jianniang bowed her head and returned the salute.

Qin Shisanlang turned around and rode his horse, and the horse turned around a few times and galloped away.

……………

"Your Highness."

There was a shrill shout behind him, and the king of Jin'an, who was walking forward, stopped, a trace of chagrin flashed in his eyes, and turned around with a little laughter on his face.

This is a high-grade waiter who is surrounded by seven or eight servants, and they all know Zhang Wancheng. [Note 1]

"Your Highness, where are you going?" Zhang Duzhi frowned and asked.

"I'm just going to walk around." King Jin'an smiled and turned his steps.

Zhang Duzhi hummed, unlike other chamberlains, as the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, he was a little condescending in the face of the king of Jin'an County.

"Your Highness, just walk around." He nodded, and said nonchalantly, "Don't go outside, the children of the heavenly family, you have to be careful and careful, Your Highness is not small, but you can't be ignorant like a child." ”

was taught such a lesson by an inner servant, and the king of Jin'an was a little embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, I know." He said.

"Your Highness is good if you know the way." Zhang Duzhi nodded and said, "Emperor Niangniang is so good to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness always runs out of the palace, and His Royal Highness will leave the palace next year at most." When the time comes, you can go wherever you want. You can't enter the palace so much. It's better to take advantage of this time to accompany the mother more. ”

The king of Jin'an smiled and replied.

Watching Zhang Duzhi and the others walk away, the smile on the face of the King of Jin'an County dissipated.

"This king." The chamberlain cursed in a low voice.

The king of Jin'an County smiled, turned his head and looked, the palace gate in the autumn mist seemed to be far and near.

"Your Highness, last time I came back so late to see Mrs. Cheng, Niang Niang and Your Majesty are only afraid that they are suspicious..."The waiter said in a low voice, "It's better not to be gone." Giving a gift is also a heart. ”

King Jin'an nodded and smiled.

"No, it's the same." "As long as you want to see it, not at this time." ”

As he spoke, he looked back again, and then raised his feet and strode inward.

…………………

"Little Lady Zhu, Little Lady Zhu!"

A noise abruptly rose in the Desheng Building, causing the people in the private room to open the door and look over.

The reason for this excitement is naturally that Zhu Xiaoniang passed by the covered bridge, and the girl on the covered bridge is not the gorgeous and heavy makeup at night. It is plain and elegant without powder, but it is suitable for bright daylight. It looks more and more elegant and beautiful.

"Little Lady Zhu, Little Lady Zhu, I'm Wang Seventeen, I'm Wang Seventeen."

Wang Qilang stretched out his hand and shouted loudly.

The girl's gaze on the covered bridge didn't shift the slightest, and she jumped away like a deer in a few steps.

"Shout, shout. shouted as if Little Lady Zhu recognized you! ”

The crowd cooled down, and one of them shouted with a glare, pulling back the corner of his clothes that had been trampled on.

"Little Lady Zhu just knows me." Wang Qilang shouted, with a little smugness, "I listened to Zhu Xiaoniang play the piano for me some time ago, and Zhu Xiaoniang praised me as a big husband..."

The people around him suddenly burst into an uproar.

"If it's true, you go and ask to see Little Lady Zhu now, and see if she recognizes you."

Wang Qilang couldn't bear it, and sure enough, he grabbed a confidant and asked him to pass it on.

Zhike asked for a sum of money and went, and came back with a smile after a while.

"What did Little Lady Zhu say?" Wang Qilang asked hurriedly.

"Little Lady Zhu said..."Zhike smiled in a long tone, looking at the eager gaze around him, "I don't recognize." ”

There was an uproar all around.

"This kid brags to the sky!"

"Thinking about good things and thinking about yourself are confused!"

"Get out of here, Nanban!"

Wang Qilang was embarrassed by the mockery.

"You, help me find Chun Ling next to Zhu Xiaoniang, Chun Ling, she knows the way." He grabbed the acquaintance and said hurriedly.

was making a fuss, and two entourages squeezed over, one on the left and one on the right, holding Wang Qilang.

"Childe, you're going to leave tomorrow, why are you here!" They whispered, "Didn't you say goodbye to someone?" ”

"I'm just saying goodbye." Wang Qilang said.

"Hurry up, the people of the Zhou family are here," the entourage said in a low voice, and couldn't help but say that Wang Qilang went out of the city.

Seeing Wang Qilang being taken out, the people in the hall laughed even more.

"Which fool ran in!"

The laughter quickly dissipated.

"Chunling, that person is looking for you?"

A few handymen asked with a smile as they withdrew their heads from the foyer.

Chun Ling shook his head.

"I don't recognize it." She said with a puzzled expression, and then retracted her gaze to look at a few little handymen, "Brothers, let's go on, those few splashes went to Taipingju to make trouble, and then what happened?" ”

Although it happened in April, for the capital, where new things emerge every day, this matter is already an old calendar, but because it is a public killing, it is a very exciting thing, so a few young guys are still very excited to talk about it.

"Then, with a buzz, the people of the Taiping House shot people to death one by one..."

The little handyman said it vividly, and Chun Ling couldn't help but be so frightened that he reached out to cover his mouth, looking frightened.

It's always fun to scare the little girl, and the little handymen all giggle.

"The shot is accurate, the arrow is headshot... The brains are all out..."

Chun Ling couldn't help but take a step back, even more frightened.

"It's scary." She said.

"yes, yes." The little handymen nodded, "The Zhou family is so powerful..."

Chun Ling shook her head, the hand covering her mouth still hadn't been lowered.

It's not that the Zhou family is powerful

It's not that the Zhou family is powerful...

It's the woman

It's the woman...

There seemed to be thunder rolling in her ears, two lightning flashes in front of her eyes, and two figures in the firelight turned to ashes...

What is the seventeenth of the Wang family. It's useless to hold on to this waste. This waste was nothing in the eyes of that woman!

"Spring Spirit!"

Someone shouted. Chun Ling came back to her senses and saw a little maid standing in front of her.

"Chunling, what are you doing? I can't hear a few shouts. The little maid asked suspiciously.

"Chun Ling was scared." The little handymen laughed, "Listen to the murder." ”

"Oh, what have you been up to? Always listen to these strange things. The little maid frowned and asked.

Chun Ling was a little sneering.

"Okay, okay, let's go, the lady is going out tonight." The little maid didn't care.

Chun Ling was busy responding.

"Someone can invite Zhu Xiaoniang, which family is it?" The little handymen asked curiously.

"The Qin family of the princess's mansion." The little maid said.

"The Qin family." The little handymen complimented one after another, "Only Little Lady Zhu will be invited by their family." It's an important feast. ”

The glory of the master is the glory of the maidservants, Chun Ling and the little maid were a little proud, and hurriedly walked away.

When night fell, there were more and more carriages and horses in front of the Qin Mansion.

Chun Ling sat in the car and saw the bustle in front of Qin's house from a distance.

Although the princess is no longer there, the imperial court did not take back the mansion, but gave the Qin family to continue to live, although there was also an impeachment of the imperial history, but the emperor was close to the princess back then, so he just didn't see it and didn't hear it.

Although I followed Zhu Xiaoniang twice to the banquets of various families. But the momentum in front of Qin's house still made Chun Ling couldn't help but be surprised, and his eyes lit up.

"What a lot of good carriages." She couldn't help but whisper to the maidservant beside her. "These banquets look huge."

The main door of the Qin Mansion was closed, the side doors were opened, and the servants who stood for a while went in and out.

Their carriage was not entitled to enter through the side door, but through the corner gate on the side, and as the carriage passed through the side door, it was stopped by two carriages, and their carriage was immediately stopped by the servants.

Chun Ling lifted a corner of the curtain of the car to see that there was a gorgeously dressed woman getting out of the car, four or five servant women hugging her, and from behind her hugged a little girl, six or seven years old, dressed well, they got out of the car, and many servants and girls from the Qin family also came to greet them.

This woman is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she has lived a life that she can't live in her life...

And the little girl, who was born with a silver spoon.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Someone urged outside the car.

The carriage swayed forward and passed the door towards the corner gate.

"Don't look at it." The little maid on the side whispered, "Bring the lady's things well, don't lose anything, and get into trouble then." ”

Chun Ling retracted his gaze, and began to tidy up the large and small boxes beside him.

Official prostitutes walk in people's homes, and they bring everything they use, and what they say is good is thoughtful, and what they say is bad is disliked by others.

When approaching the corner gate, Chun Ling looked back again, and saw another carriage stopped in front of the door, and the women who came down were still holding the moon in the stars.

"The ladies of the Tong family, why are you here too?" Chen Banniang looked back and smiled.

"Eighteen Niang, come over and let me see, what are you wearing today?"

Several women of similar age smiled at her, pulling their arms and looking at her intimately and familiarly.

"If you are allowed to come, will we not be able to come?"

It was even more lively when I entered the inner courtyard.

The banquet of the Qin family is placed in the garden, the pavilions and pavilions are exquisite, and the palace lamps at night are embellished like a fairyland on earth.

Chun Ling couldn't help but look around while holding various boxes.

The bustling liveliness of Desheng Building had already amazed her, and the luxury of the two people she walked to had also shocked her, but at this moment, she still couldn't take her eyes off.

Their arrival also made the venue lively.

"Look, look, that's Little Lady Zhu..."

Countless eyes closed the swaying lampshade on Zhu Xiaoniang's body.

Under the night light, the walking woman has red lips, plum makeup, high sideburns, eyes but not squinting, walking in broken steps, and the long skirt is like a colorful butterfly tumbling.

"Sure enough, it is as bright as a peony, and the color is like a cold plum, which is worthy of being an oiran."

There were young men next to him who praised again and again.

This caused the little ladies next to her to be not very happy.

"Even Oiran is an official prostitute."

"What is there to praise."

"Israel is just a servant."

The young ladies don't like to listen to the words, they are all sisters of their own family, and they don't shy away from it. There were a few discontented arguments.

"Little Lady Zhu was born innocent."

"Neither color nor art nor art nor art nor art Naturally, it deserves praise. ”

Qin Shisanlang, who was on the side, shook his head with a smile when he heard this.

"So a young man is young. How can you argue with the little ladies at this time? Holding the tea bowl in his hand, he turned his head and whispered to the young man beside him, "At this time, you should laugh and laugh as if you didn't hear it." ”

The young man next to him, Ha Luha, smiled and looked at the young man who was surrounded by a few little ladies.

“… Innocent? How to be innocent? Which one of the teachers is innocent? ”

"Little lady Zhu, her father is an official eunuch... It's just that he was framed and entered the Teaching Division..."

"Oh, now that her father has been rehabilitated, why is she still teaching the Fang Division?"

"That's her nobility"

"That's because she's used to living this kind of life, and she can't live a poor life anymore."

"Bitches are ruthless, and the drama is unjust."

"What little lady, little lady, there is only Miss in the Teaching Division!"

The arguments between young men and women are getting louder and louder. There is not the slightest evasion, and there is no need to evade.

The words came over one by one, and Chun Ling's face became ugly.

It was the first time she had seen a lady encounter such a scene.

In the past, it was a banquet for men, and there was no such female dependents present, and all they encountered were the pursuit of ladies, and this undisguised disgust and contempt simply frightened her.

The flickering lights and bright jewels flickering in front of her made Chun Ling a little flustered, and she couldn't help but look up at the little lady Zhu in front of her.

Little Lady Zhu is straight. The steps are still the same, and the eyes do not squint. I don't seem to be able to hear the talk around me.

But when someone calls her by name, she can't pretend she doesn't hear it.

"Little Lady Zhu."

Little Lady Zhu stopped and turned around.

"What does the lady command?" She said.

"Come here."

A little lady beckoned.

Little Lady Zhu responded, walked over, and stood in front of this little lady to salute again.

Chun Ling followed, looking at the four or five young women in front of her, their dress was far inferior to Zhu Xiaoniang, but for the first time, Chun Ling felt that the dress of Zhu Xiaoniang, who she had once envied, made her reluctant to look more.

It turns out that sometimes the dazzle in the crowd can also make people feel humiliated.

"Little lady Zhu, your father has redressed his grievances, but you don't leave the country, is it because you are ashamed of yourself?" The little lady asked.

Little Lady Zhu smiled slightly.

"It's not that I'm ashamed of myself, it's just that the slave family accepts his fate." She bowed her head and said, "Even if you get out of the country, you can't change the life of the slave family who once joined the sect department, so why bother to leave the country." ”

These words made the teenagers around look a little more pity, and some even sighed lightly.

"It's so nice to say, I still feel ashamed." A little lady snorted and said, "Then since you are afraid of being humiliated, why are you unstable, what else do you do, and what kind of oiran do you come out of?" ”

Chun Ling lowered her head fiercely.

Little Lady Zhu still smiled slightly.

"Well, the slave family didn't think about it that much." She said, "The slave family just wants to do the best no matter what you do." ”

These words made the little ladies laugh even more, and when they were about to speak, someone spoke first.

"Well said."

The young man's voice was clear, attracting everyone's attention.

Under the corner corridor, a young man in a green robe and a jade belt smiled.

Chun Ling couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the description clearly.

It's the son of the Zhou family!

"In this way, there is no regret in my life." The young man said, looked at Zhu Xiaoniang, and raised the tea bowl in his hand, "Respect the little lady." ”

Drink it all down.

Little Lady Zhu smiled slightly, bowed her head and bowed, and turned around to walk.

It turned out to be him who helped the lady speak

And he spoke, and the people around him stopped talking ...

The Zhou family is really powerful...

Chun Ling endured a violent heartbeat and couldn't help but turn back again.

Compared with him, Wang Seventeen is nothing!

He, for the maintenance of Zhu Xiaoniang, it can be seen that he is happy....

Chun Ling bit her lower lip and breathed heavily.

After only walking a few steps, I heard a bustle behind me.

"Oops, the man is coming"

Who is coming?

Chun Ling turned around and saw that the son of the Zhou family had already taken a step to the side, and the little ladies who were mocking her family's lady, as well as those young sons, also rushed over there.

There were also a lot of people over there, hugging a woman laughing and chattering under the night light.

There were so many people, but no matter who looked at her, the first thing to look at was on the woman.

She wore a half-new dark dress, with wide sleeves, a mopping skirt, a slender waist, and no ornaments on her body, but she became the most dazzling presence in the city.

Maybe it's because of the condensation of everyone's eyes, or maybe it's her deep eyes and her neck, which looks like clotted fat against the background of the dark robe.

It's her

Or is she...

If she hadn't driven herself away at the beginning, would the two handmaidens who were following her at this moment be their sisters?

A hint of pain brought Chun Ling back to her senses, and her lips were salty.

It turned out to be a bite on the lip.

"This little lady is the guest of honor today."

The voice of Little Lady Zhu sounded in her ears.

Chun Ling turned her head to look and saw that Little Lady Zhu didn't know when she stopped and looked over there.

Under the lights, the little lady who was surrounded by everyone was as bright as glass.

"What a beauty." She said with a slight smile.

She looked again and retracted her gaze.

"Let's go, the host and guest are coming, we need to get ready quickly." She said, turning and continuing to sway.

Chun Ling also looked over there again, retracted his gaze, lowered his head and quickly followed, and disappeared into the flickering light and darkness with Zhu Xiaoniang.
