Chapter 20 The City Government
85_85797Seeing Jing Li and the others appear, Zhou Yu threw the handkerchief casually, and said in a soft and elegant voice: "Okay, drag the Zhuang woman down." There are a lot of visitors here, don't surprise them. ”
So, in the struggle of Zhuang's mother, several guards dragged her down with their hands and feet, and the process was so fast and hidden that the noblewomen who walked a little slower did not notice it at all.
After Jing Li walked out, her eyes did not fall on Ji Ji.
After she glanced at Ji Ji, she looked at Yuehong intently.
Then, she floated over and came to Zhou Yu's side, with a gentle smile on Jing Li's beautiful face, she asked softly, "Forgive Ah Li's clumsiness." I wonder which family this girl belongs to? The words were said gently, but at this time, Jing Li's gaze was mocking. It is said that the aristocracy looks not only at the master, but also at his servant. Although the girl with the jade flute in her hand looks delicate, just looking at her servant, you can see that she is just a poor girl with a few small money!
Jing Li was originally the leader of the nobles in Jingzhou, and as soon as she spoke, all the nobles looked at Ji Ji. The staring gaze of these people can make people with insufficient confidence feel inferior.
Ji Ji was also pressed back by this gaze, but even so, her expression was always calm, but Yuehong, who was standing behind her, had been seen by everyone to lower her head and tremble.
As a result, more and more eyes were as mocking as Jing Li.
At this moment, Zhou Yu spoke, his voice was gentle and clear, "Her surname is Ji." ”
He took his hands, looked at Ji Ji so gently, and answered everyone with a surname as a matter of course.
The women were stunned, and Abi reflexively laughed and shouted, "Surname Ji? Hey, why didn't I know that there was a family surnamed Ji in Jingdi? ”
Ah Bi's words expressed the hearts of the women, and for a while, the sound of laughter and laughter was everywhere, and after Jing Li glanced at the jade flute in Ji Ji's hand, he said softly: "Xu is I waiting for the lonely and unheard, right?" ”
Her tone was gentle, obviously with a bit of understanding and peace, but as soon as these words came out, the laughter became louder.
Unexpectedly, the sons of the Zhou family on one side were even more annoyed than Ji Ji, and Zhou Luan directly sank his face. Zhou Yu still held his hand, and after seeing him smile, he said lightly: "She is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor." In the past, the Zhou royal family dominated the Central Plains for more than 800 years, and anyone who was called a nobleman must be surnamed Ji. The rest are just slaves surnamed Ji. ”
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, the girls couldn't laugh anymore, and even the sons of the family not far away also quieted down one by one.
Zhou Yu's words were a bit ruthless, especially that sentence, "The rest are just slaves surnamed Ji." What he meant by this was that all the children of the family present were just slaves of the Ji family in the past history? They don't deserve to pose in front of Ji Ji at all?
Of the people present, the most embarrassing one was Jing Li. thinks of a stunning beauty like her, who has always been held in the palm of her hand. And now, the man she intends to marry actually uses such words to defend another woman who is inferior to her in every way. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't know much about her mind, she really wouldn't have half of her face.
In the silence of all around, only Ji Ji looked at the sons of the Zhou family in surprise. To be honest, she was really puzzled. In just a few contacts, Ji Ji understood that Zhou Yu was quite a city person. And such a person actually attacked her just because others had a little insult to her? And it's not just him, Zhou Luan and the others are actually angry!
Finally, Zhou Ling broke the calm, and he said, "Everyone, it's not early, let's have a banquet." ”
As Zhou Yu promised, this banquet was held for Ji Ji. Because, with the scene at the door, naturally, when everyone saw Ji Ji, they would try to distance themselves and remain silent. As for Jing Li, after hastily explaining a few words to the sons of the Zhou family, he led everyone to leave.
Although this banquet lasted until the sun set, whether it was Zhou Yu's fate to Zhuang's mother or the departure of Jingzhou's distinguished guests, it made its second half no longer interesting.
In the evening, Zhou Yu and others sent Ji Ji into the car.
Sitting in the car, watching the ox carts on the left and right leaving, listening to the sound of the market from time to time in the distance, Ji Ji has not spoken.
Yuehong stretched out her head and looked outside for a while, then turned her head and said, "Girl, can I speak?" ”
Ji Ji nodded nonchalantly.
Yuehong immediately jumped up, she pressed her right hand on her chest, excited, her eyes were shining and she shouted: "Zhou Yulangjun is really amazing!" Girl, girl, he actually defends you like this in front of so many people, it's so nice that others. ”
In the blink of an eye, Yuehong shouted again, "I don't think there will be a better man in this world than Zhou Yulangjun." ”
Turning her head, Yuehong called again, "Oh my God, my heart is drunk when I think of him walking out like that, blocking the girls like that, talking to them so indifferently. Girl, he really likes you so much! ”
Ji Ji opened her eyes.
She looked at Yuehong, sighed and said, "It turns out that a person without knowledge is really like being blind...... What Zhou Yu did, you actually read that he loved me and protected me? ”
Yuehong's eyes widened, and she said curiously, "Isn't it?" ”
Ji Ji sneered and said: "Before today, I, Ji Ji, was in this Jing County, although there were people who looked down on me, and there were also people who bullied me, there were definitely no people who hated me. And from today on, Zhuang Fu hates me, Zhuang Thirteen hates me, and Na Jingli, as well as the children of dozens of families in Jingzhou will hate me! ”
Yuehong was stunned, she opened her mouth, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Ji Ji said coldly: "Zhou Yu is a person, the city is very deep, Zheng said that they have been collecting all kinds of news related to me in Jing County these days. Could it be that they have been collecting for so long, will they not know that I once liked Zhuang Thirteen? Holding a banquet in the courtyard of Zhuangfu, letting Zhuang's mother preside, and then finding an opportunity to nail Zhuang's mother to death, this trick is Zhou Yu's revenge for the Zhuang Thirteen I liked! ”
Yuehong was stupid, and just looked at Ji Ji blankly.
Ji Ji continued: "Before today, Zhou Yu proposed to me to marry me, and I can still push back, but after today, I, Ji Ji, can only go according to the path he arranged." First, he made me offend dozens of wealthy families in Jingzhou, and I had no place in Jingzhou. Second, from today on, everyone in the world knows that he looks at me differently, and I don't like such a good son, who else dares to mention me? ”
Ji Ji said this in one breath, she couldn't help shaking her head, she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows, and muttered in a low voice: "This time I got the wrong idea." I shouldn't have been here in the first place. Seeing so many carriages appearing, I didn't even know what to expect, I really deserved to be calculated! ”
At this moment, Yuehong, who finally came back to her senses, came with a frightened and stammering voice, "Then, what should I do?" ”
Ji Ji leaned back against the wall of the car, closed her eyes and whispered, "Let's take a step and see one step at a time." ”
In the small Ji manor, apart from Ji herself, there are no think-tank talents. Therefore, after Ji Ji returned to the manor, she sat in the study for half a night, her mind was stiff, and she couldn't think of a way to break the situation in front of her.
Yes, from an outsider's point of view, a husband like Zhou Yu is perfect and impeccable! But Ji Ji just thinks that she has died once in vain, and in this life, she has to live a sober and understanding life. In her life, how can she clearly marry in vain!
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the Zheng Mansion sent someone.
In desperation, Ji Ji had to go to the Zheng Mansion again, this time, she was treated ceremoniously in the Zheng Mansion, and the people of the entire Zheng Mansion were happy that she was about to marry into the Zhou family and enjoy the glory and wealth of the Zhou family. After sitting for less than a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Zheng also led a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man, although his face was not similar to Ji Ji, but he was about the same height and had beautiful facial features, and she said to Ji Ji that this young man was her brother.
So, when Ji Ji left the Zheng Mansion, she was thinking in her heart that although the matter was complicated, the first thing that needed to be solved was the Zheng family's mess.
But the idea is not so easy to take.
After thinking about it for another day and a night, Ji Ji, who still had nothing to gain, felt the inexplicable silence around her, and in a fit of anger, she simply took Shen Sun Fu and more than a dozen other guards out of Jing County in a donkey cart.
The donkey cart walks on the official road, and the scenery around it is amazingly beautiful.
I don't know how long I walked, Ji Ji suddenly asked, "I heard that Xie Lang is still in Jingzhou?" ”
Everyone was stunned, and after a while, Sun Fu took the lead in replying: "There should be more." His identity, whether he arrives or leaves, will cause a sensation in a city. Since I haven't heard of him leaving, it's still there. ”
Ji Ji sighed. After a while, she said softly, "Let's go to Jingzhou City." ”
Everyone was stunned, and Sun Fu was shocked: "The girl wants to see Xie Lang?" ”
Ji Ji smiled slightly, she lowered her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she said slowly: "I heard that this person is extremely intelligent, and he expects everything to be missed. I think it will be a while. Perhaps, from Xie Lang's mouth, you can know the reason why Zhou Yu has to marry her.
Hearing Ji Ji say this, the servants immediately responded, so the donkey cart turned and drove in the direction of Jingzhou City Gate.
From Jingxian to Jingzhou, it is less than 40 miles. In this short journey, Ji Ji can often see the villagers rushing towards Jingzhou City with a bag of chestnut rice on her back. After walking for a while, Ji Ji also saw a woman who was pregnant with Liujia and whose belly was so big that she couldn't even see her own feet, carrying a bag of chestnut rice, walking on the official road step by step.
Outside the donkey cart, Sun Fu's voice came, "It would be nice if the four baht coins could be used, at least the copper coins are not as heavy as chestnut rice." In a blink of an eye, he said, "Girl, according to me, don't be so troubled." At least, girl, you were born rich and noble, no matter how bad the Zhou Mansion is, can they still kill their wives? It's a big deal, you'll marry a girl. If you are really unwilling, you can also marry that Zhou Yu without marrying him, well, just marry the one named Zhou Luan. My grandson thinks that guy is a bit reliable. ”。
