Chapter 39: Chewing the Tongue
Fourth Miss Linlang didn't come over until lunch, and she was about to greet her, and she dressed up more charmingly. Begonia red twig gown, combed a single bun, inserted with two red coral inlaid gold moire hairpins, with the same earrings, on the wrist is a pair of Hetian red jade bracelets, the bracelet is as red as a cockscomb, but it is not Qinyu, it is very rare.
Linglong had an embroidery shelf under the wisteria trellis, and she was embroidering the screen. Seeing that the little cousin was embroidering a dowry for her, Linlang was a little embarrassed.
"Tomorrow, the fourth sister will accompany you to the mountains to play, but don't get up so early."
Linglong grinned at her, I didn't listen to you, who knows if you have to sleep until three o'clock every day.
"I found a fun place with spring water and fish in the stream, so we can go and grill the fish another day." Linglong is still unsatisfied with the place she went to in the morning, but unfortunately she was stunned out of nowhere, and she didn't know which local tyrant was hiding in the dark and throwing money to play.
"By the way, Fourth Sister, is there a Zhenguo Gong?" When Linglong first returned to the capital, she didn't know any of this, and the stunned young man who was dressed beautifully said that he was Gu Jinzhi, the prince of Zhenguo.
"Hey, you met someone from the Zhenguo Mansion, could it be Gu Jinzhi?" Linlang said as she took a few silk ropes from the sewing basket and started to tie them.
"Yes, he said his name was Gu Jinzhi, and he was reckless." Linglong didn't look up, the flying needle in her hand was walking, this screen was extremely time-consuming, and she had to embroider it in front of Linlang.
"It's not surprising to meet him, the Gu family also has a Zhuangzi here, not far from our house. The ancestor of Zhenguo is the head of the eighteen nobles of the opening dynasty, 20 years ago, Vasa invaded the border, this generation of Zhenguo is fair and chaotic, and the customers are the most beautiful. "Linlang has been in the capital since he was a child, and the Jin family is an imperial businessman.
"I see, isn't that Gu Jinzhi too good at reincarnation." Linglong asked, since the customer is so rich, after returning to Beijing, he can "visit and visit" and exchange a few small dollars to spend.
"Although Gu Jinzhi is an only son, the most famous of the Gu family is the Seven Fairies."
"Seven fairies?" Linglong finally put down the embroidery needle in her hand and listened curiously to Linlang's mouth.
It turned out that Zhenguo Gonggu had seven daughters for himself, but only one son. Gu Jinzhi has five sisters and two younger sisters. Today, the saint has a family for the grace of the Gu family, and all five sisters of Gu Jinzhi are married to the prince, which means that the five sons-in-law of the Gu family are all princes. Such a family background, not to mention the Dawu Dynasty, even the previous dynasty has no precedent.
Linglong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she figured it out. At present, the saint has not yet appointed the crown prince, and the Gu family must have military power in their hands, and they are first-class nobles, so the princes naturally want to make friends with customers. The saint is a smart man, so he simply let you make friends with customers and be a son-in-law for customers. Zhen Guogong's palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and he will not take sides in favor of any side, and in the matter of competing for the crown, Zhen Guogong can only stand by and watch, no one will help, and he will not watch any of them make a mess.
Linglong couldn't help but wonder, this emperor is also interesting, of course, what is even more interesting is that Zhenguo Gong gave birth to so many daughters, if there is only one daughter, the emperor will not be able to use this method.
"With such a family background, with such a father and brother-in-law, Gu Jinzhi doesn't have to do anything, just wait for his father to attack the lord after his death, so ah, this Gu Dashao is idle all day long, worried that Zhenguo Gong will scold him, so he simply hides here, and he is in Zhuangzi for seven or eight months a year."
In this way, this Gu Jinzhi is at most a little gentleman, and it is not a big evil, but he chases the little girl in broad daylight, and Linglong has never had a good impression of this kind of second ancestor.
Linlang chatted with her all afternoon, talking about the parents in the capital, the nobles often get together for tea parties and play polo, and these things between the palace and the nobles are what they like to talk about.
"There are seven fairies in the Gu family, five of which are given to the prince, but what about the other two?" Linglong asked.
"Gu Jieyu and I are the same age, we have just reached the end of this year, I heard that Banzai intends to let her marry the Nine Emperor Princes, as for the youngest Gu Yanran, she is one year older than you, but her appearance is the best among the seven sisters, but unfortunately her mother is only a stepfamily, but she is the most loved by the queen's mother, but it is a pity that people are not strong, everyone guesses that she may be the most unlucky of the seven sisters." Linlang's amount of information is absolutely powerful, and even the family affairs that have not been skimmed by other people's characters have been inquired. “
"Unlucky? Could it be that the sisters can promise to marry the prince, but she can't? Linglong is also curious, although she has more memories than her peers, she is still a little girl in her bones, and she is also interested in chatting and gossiping.
Before Huancui brought it to the rain that had just been built, Linlang took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued: "There are several princes in the saint today, Gu Yanran can take one's turn, but unfortunately the one she wants to marry is the one with the slimest hope of winning the heir, it is nothing if she is not the emperor, and she can still be a rich and noble prince, but this is a sick man......" Speaking of this, Linlang lowered her voice, "I heard people say that this twelve princes have only lived until now by hanging with ginseng, not only will they not have a few years to live, but they can't be humane." Gu Yanran married in the past, even if she was not a widow for the time being, she had to stay a widow. ”
Don't look at Linlang's unobstructed mouth, but she is about to get married, and she understands the affairs of men and women, and she can't help but blush slightly when she says this, but she is still worried that Linglong is too young to understand, so she added: "If you want to come, you can only look at it when you marry a lady, you can't touch it." ”
In her previous life, Linglong's identity gave her no chance to fall in love, but of course she understood these things, more than Linlang, and couldn't help sighing, ancient men were no queen, no wonder this twelve princes had no chance to be on the throne, but this "inhumane" was blocked from the selection of the prince.
"Hey, how can the inhumane things of the Twelve Princes be known to everyone?" Although the imperial court can't stop the people from talking about it, things like the inhumane things of the twelve princes should be a secret in the royal family, how can it be spread that even the ladies know about it.
Linlang said with a smile: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles." I heard that when the Twelve Princes had just returned to Beijing from illness, they gave a bath in Chaohua Pond, and selected ten beautiful women to serve, and the result was ...... Ha ha...... Results ......"
Linlang laughed so hard that she couldn't go on.
Linglong hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, fourth sister, can you say it quickly." ”
"Haha, as a result, in front of everyone, the twelve princes ran out in disheveled clothes, and there were still droplets of water on their bodies. A eunuch went in to interrogate the ten beauties, only to know that the twelve princes were not good, and they were ashamed and angry, so they ran out. ”
This time, not to mention Linglong, even the few maids serving next to him were all red-faced, Linlang herself was even more red to the root of her ears, blushing and blushing, but the fire of gossip among the little girls was not extinguished, and they all covered their mouths and laughed.
