Chapter 102: A classmate and confidant became a lobbyist
Maybe there are all kinds of hidden secrets, maybe Xu Feng is forced to do so, so whether he is sincere to the Chang family, I will not comment and speculate. www.biquge.info When I met him again, I just wanted to treat him as an irrelevant passerby.
"Lin'er."
I wanted to correct him, but it was just a title. Besides, this is what he calls Chang, not me.
"Young Master Xu is fine."
"Lin'er. Are you blaming me? β
Forehead! Qiong Yao's drama has changed the new protagonist, is Xu Feng going to top this greasy halo?
"Where do you start?"
"I have my troubles."
If you have a hard time, go home to your mother, what is it to come to me? I almost couldn't help but blurt out a complaint, and I swallowed it hard, and I saw Cui'er standing aside, and after being glanced at by Xu Feng, she silently retreated.
In the huge courtyard, only Xu Feng and I stood quietly under the acacia tree. The picture of Xiucai saying his promise to the fan under the bitter tree should be like this! It's really timely!
It's just that there seem to be only two people here, but there are many people around who are watching the excitement, hidden in the shadows.
"Xu Gongzi, I just want to say one word to you at the moment: "I am no longer the same me I used to be." You don't have to think that there is nothing more than a concubine. β
When Xu Feng heard this, his eyes lit up: "Lin'er, it's good if you don't blame me." Now that you have left the Shizifu as you wished, and you have found a backer like the eldest son, I am really happy for you. β
It turned out that he was a lobbyist for the fox eyes, but he didn't expect Xu Feng to be as timid as a mouse, and he was so dog-legged. For the sake of his high-ranking officials, even his favorite classmates and confidants were handed over. No, it should be that he has been fueling the flames behind his back, and finally put on a wedding dress with fox eyes for the Chang family, who had made a promise, which is really villainous enough.
"The eldest son is the most promising unmarried man in Dali, Lin'er, you have to seize the opportunity."
I smiled and said that I was a broken flower and a willow, not worthy of an aspiring man like Fox Eyes, and I just wanted to live a quiet and plain life in the future, without the idea of climbing the dragon and the phoenix.
Xu Feng tried hard to persuade me, caring and harsh as if he was my mother's family, and he told me to firmly grasp such a rare young talent as Fox Eye, so as not to slip out of my hand and miss it, and there would be no chance to turn back.
Xu Feng was so attentive to match the Chang clan and the fox eyes, which made me want to explore the purpose of the two from his mouth, so I asked with a smile: "The eldest son, he is a rare and valuable good man in Dali, how can he unrequited love for me, a withered flower." β
"Lin'er, don't be presumptuous, do you know that as soon as the news of your escape from the Shizi Mansion came out, Huang Zhao and your brother-in-law went crazy all over the world to find you, and even made trouble in the Shizi Mansion because of your disappearance. Nowadays, everyone accuses Duan Hong of being a ruthless and unrighteous person, liking the new and hating the old, although he has not taken a leave of absence, but you have become the hottest bride candidate today. β
"Oh! Why is that? β
"Of course, because you are the granddaughter of Zhongguo Gong and the eldest daughter of General Zhenxi."
"So what?"
"Because of the current situation, of course. You have to know the importance of the Chung Kook Mansion, you are the ...... you decide"
"Ahem."
A coughing sound suddenly came from a distance, interrupting Xu Feng's unfinished words. The fox eye walked from a distance with one hand behind his back, and his face changed expressionlessly, Xu Feng's face changed, as if he felt that he had just said too much, so he hurriedly lowered his head and stepped aside.
"What are you two talking about, talking so much?"
"I'm talking about this acacia tree. I don't know if I have waited for Xiucai's lifelong fan, in the end, will I have regrets in my heart? β
"What scholar, what fan?"
"It's just a poignant love story about the acacia tree, don't mention it, and it will bring back a sad past."
My eyes were gloomy, and I said a blessing to the fox eyes, and then I said goodbye to the two of them and walked to the moon gate in the other courtyard. Cui'er was guarding the door, her eyes kept staring at the fox-eyed figure in the distance, I glanced at her, and said in my heart: Another poor person trapped by love.
The fox turned his head to look at Xu Feng, Xu Feng bowed his hand, and only said: "She seems to be ruthless to him." β
The fox looked at my departing back, and the indifference in the fox's eyes faded a little, and there was not the slightest joy.
I glanced at Cui'er, who was walking beside me, a little distraught: "Cui'er, have you been working in this Qingyuan since you were a child?" β
"Miss Hui, I used to be a juggler on the street, I don't know how many people changed hands, and then I made a mistake during the performance and was almost beaten to death by the class owner. Fortunately, the eldest son bought the slave family, so that he could do things in the house, and the eldest son was the benefactor of the slave family. β
"Oh! How old were you that year? β
"Miss Hui, nine years old."
"Parents?"
"It's long gone."
The sensational drama in Qiong Yao's drama is a real existence in ancient times, and bad habits and bad deeds under the monarch's slavery system abound. During the years of war and famine, I don't know how many people wandered and starved to death on the streets. Born in modern times, I didn't have this kind of tragic experience, but when I was very young, my parents also passed away one after another, leaving me to live alone, so I was somewhat emotionally involved.
Cui'er, who is lonely, unable to eat and clothe, practices difficult acrobatics, and will be whipped for mistakes, it can be seen that the appearance of fox eyes is a dazzling dawn in her life, so she will worship him like a god! That's why when I first came to Qingyuan, I showed deep hostility and disdain for me. But whether she was sincere or instructed at that time, I no longer blame her. They are all poor people, so why embarrass each other!
Thinking back to what Xu Feng said to me in the courtyard today, and thinking about the fox eye's insistence on taking me to the New Year's banquet, it can be inferred that the Gao clan has begun to move, and the Dali Kingdom may soon change the sky.
Chang's grandfather is Dali Zhongguogong, many nouveau riche talents in the court, are proud protΓ©gΓ©s of Zhongguo Gongfu, the eldest son is the general of Zhenxi, and most of the grandchildren are in the army. This loyal prince, who is on a par with Gao Zhisheng, the left minister, is undoubtedly the number one object that Gao Zhisheng wants to win over the most when he rebels. And the loyal prince is loyal to the country, and has always been unwilling to join the Gao family, and he is even more discordant. And the Chang family married into the Shizi Mansion, which represented the Zhongguo Gong to stand with the future prince Duan Hong's faction, which was undoubtedly the most unfavorable to the Gao family. That's why the fox eye deliberately wants me to be emotional about him, so that the Zhongguo Mansion and the Gao family will be friendly, even if the Zhongguo Gong can't defect, there will be a gap between the prince and the Zhongguo Gong.
Some things are figured out, but others are mired in mystery. What the Gao family can think of, the prince Duan Hong is so smart, it is impossible not to think of it. He was happy to marry the Chang family, but also because he valued the power of the Zhongguo Mansion, so he actively curried favor with the Chang family.
But why did he suddenly change sex? Is it just because of a Qian Miaomiao, he can't even want the position of emperor? That Qian Miaomiao, just call his heart like that, as he is proud, or did Qian Miaomiao pour him some ecstasy soup?
Duan Hong's thoughts are really incomprehensible, if he was born to be a villain in modern times, will he create a perfect crime that the criminal investigation team can't crack!
I am really unlucky, the soul comes through, in the first half of the year, I was busy fleeing and evading, but not long after I tasted the sweet fruit of love, I was tragically abandoned, and unfortunately I was involved in the political whirlpool, I couldn't help myself, I became a caged bird, a prisoner, and I would be crushed in this whirlpool.
In my previous life, it was difficult for me to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, so I was lonely early in this life, and then I was inexplicably soul-piercing, and I couldn't help but suffer physically and mentally, and I might lose my life, which is also too unreasonable.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, when the fox eyes visited me, I reprimanded the unsympathetic Duan Hong intentionally or unintentionally like an angry youth, and then sometimes put on an expression of sadness more than death. The fox-eyed person is very calm, he watched me sing a one-man show alone from beginning to end, but the anxious look in his eyes couldn't escape the eyes of the old lady. How poisonous the old lady's eyes are! In the past, when I was interrogating a prisoner, I knew at a glance whether the suspect was lying or not, this is all a skill cultivated through actual combat, how can it be worse!
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar calendar, I pretended to finally be ruthless and wanted to give Duan Hong a good look, and promised to go to the New Year's banquet with Fox Eyes.
The New Year's banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve officially began in the afternoon when Shen Shi was halfway through, and the people who usually attended the banquet had already driven into the palace one after another. Although the order is to invite officials above the third rank and the main room, some princes and sons who are not below the third rank will also bring their families to attend. In fact, as long as you have the ability, status, and face, you can attend the New Year's banquet, and you don't have to worry that someone will kick you out, so it is inevitable that there will be some people who are indiscriminate.
Cui'er and a maidservant of Qingyuan picked me up from the bed early in the morning, and then fixed my makeup and hair.
Chang is a married woman, and her hair should be all in a high bun, two feet high, this is the rule. But I was worried that my neck would break, so I begged her to comb a "crested head" with two sideburns and faces, and the hair under it was scattered, and decorate it with a golden step and two jade hairpins. Naturally, Cui'er refused, saying that she was acting on orders, and I asked whose order she was taking, and I went to talk to him.
Seeing that I was really going to find the Fox Eye Theory, Cui'er agreed to my request. After that, I quickly settled on a purple silk bandeau painted with begonia flowers, paired with an eight-panel pleated pale pink mopping skirt, and covered with a light tulle tunic as thin as cicada wings. On the whole, it is as light as light smoke and as delicate as a peach blossom, but there is a kind of beauty that is more beautiful than flowers.
Dali's costumes are in the style of the Song Dynasty, which is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. But I am only familiar with the flag costumes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I also think that the flag costumes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are better.
