Chapter 272: Old Friends
From the moment he entered the main hall, Jinghu had been paying attention to the concubine and the princess. The princess's expression has always been very relaxed, and it is natural to talk and laugh at this time, it seems that she does get along well with the concubine, and Xie Chiying's heart can be even more relaxed.
The concubine looked at her and smiled, and patted Jinghu's hand again, "My old sister will come over as a guest in a few days, and when the time comes, the card table will be set, you will look at the cards for me, and tell me to win a good game." β
Jinghu naturally responded with a smile.
In the end, he greeted Ke Mingxu, "This is the eighteenth year of Zhaoyong, the champion of Ding Chouke, right?" Is it my family's cousin, the eldest grandson of Master Ke? β
Ke Mingxu stepped forward and saluted the concubine, "Junior Ke Mingxu, meet the old concubine." β
The concubine turned to the grandmother beside her and asked her for a pair of dioramas, as if she wanted to see him well, "Come forward and tell me to take a look, twenty-two-year-old Zhuangyuanlang, that is really rare, and there will be no one in hundreds of years." β
Ke Mingxu lowered his head slightly and took a few steps forward.
Even if he has his head down, his posture is still as tall as a pine, even if he is standing in the sunset, there is no bright candle in the room, and there is still a kind of independent demeanor.
When Concubine Fang praised him, Jinghu was also honored.
The concubine looked him up and down a few times before she smiled and said to the grandmother beside her: "What a talent, a hero is a young man." I don't know which girl will have such a blessing in the future to be able to marry Xulang of the Ke family. β
Every time she hears someone mention Ke Mingxu's marriage, Jinghu always feels a little uncomfortable, and when the concubine says this, she is also afraid that her next sentence will be to introduce Jiangnan beauties to him.
Fortunately, no, the concubine just said: "Your husband and I are also old friends, and you are the cousin of my family's mother, just live in peace for a while, if you want to visit everything, there will naturally be arrangements for the housekeeper." β
actually mentioned Mr. Zhou so quickly.
Ke Mingxu said, "Thank you, concubine." But I haven't heard much about you, and I didn't know that you and my husband were also old friends. β
"This is strange, Su Niang also invited Mr. to come to the house as a guest, but he insisted on going to Yunshan Academy, saying that he would not come over."
Jinghu almost burst out laughing. I didn't expect Ke Mingxu to be bad, and he was so bad. He and Mr. Zhou are obviously a pair of enemies.
After hearing this, the concubine sneered, but it was not a mockery, as if to say, "How can this person be so naΓ―ve." β
"That's when I wasn't married, and I was in Yanjing. It's been many years, and maybe he doesn't remember our past friendships. β
It's been decades coming. If it weren't for the accident, Yan Liang's youngest champion might not be the teenager in front of him.
Ke Mingxu didn't speak, and Jinghu said: "Mr. Zhou is really strange, I thought he was troublesome to live in the palace." Why did he know the concubine, but he refused to come over to see him. β
The concubine smiled and waved her hand, "I can't remember many of the things back then. They are already sixty or seventy years old, and they do what they want without exceeding the rules, and they should live how they want. β
"Since he thinks it's better to stay overnight in Yunshan Academy, it should naturally be up to him. I have spoken of him today, and you do not need to mention it to him. β
has already lived to this age, and it is really ridiculous to be entangled in the things of that year.
But she still couldn't hold back, and asked him again with the young man in front of her, "How is your husband in good health all these years?" β
Ke Mingxu replied to her, "The teacher is wild and uninhibited, in the early years, he often slept outside in the open and did not pay attention to maintenance. β
"But I am also a heavy drinker, and I always refuse to give up this hobby, so my body is really not good. When he was at home, his wife was always in charge of him, and although he was unhappy, he was helpless. So this trip knew that I was going down to Jiangnan, so I had to follow me no matter what. β
If you can't drink it, you have to drink it, which is the most deadly. If it was according to the original plan, it is estimated that Mr. Zhou would not have any alcohol to drink, who knew that he bumped into Jinghu, who wanted to fish. Now that I think about it, at this point alone, I don't know how much trouble I have caused Ke Mingxu.
The concubine said with concern: "I didn't meet him in Yanjing last year, but I sat down with your master and wife and said a few words." β
"Indeed, he should have listened to your wife. How many years have passed, and it is still the mentality of 'there is wine today and drunk today', celebrities and gentlemen are romantic, but it is just worrying, and people really don't know what to say about him. β
"Since he came out with you, you should also restrain him more."
In Jinghu and Ke Mingxu's cognition, Mr. Zhou's wife and concubine should be rivals in love, is Mr. Zhou's wife not aware of this past, or are they wrong?
"Yes." Ke Mingxu made a gesture, looking unfazed, "I often persuade him on weekdays, but I haven't seen him drink more wine for a while." However, the teacher went to Yunshan Academy today and met his old friends in the academy, so I am afraid that he will be unrestrained again. β
"Therefore, the younger generation only bothered in the house for two days, and it was better to go to the teacher earlier."
Although this was originally said in this way, Jinghu actually always felt that there would be a turnaround in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at this time.
But after listening to Ke Mingxu's words, she felt that this old man was really a little undisciplined, and it was better to return to Ke Mingxu's nose earlier.
"That being the case, I won't ask Su Niang to keep you. When you have arranged a place to play in the coming day, you can play in one place again, and it will be the same. β
Although he was not able to explain what happened to the concubine and Mr. Zhou back then, the concern in the concubine's words was already very revealing.
Between them, there should be more or less affection when they are young. Although I don't know what happened, after all, they are all doing well, and it is already a good ending.
Whether she and Ke Ming knew these things or not was actually not that important. When they get old, I don't know how many stories they can tell to their children and grandchildren?
After chatting like this, a maid came over and said that the dinner had been arranged, and the concubine was the main family, so she naturally accompanied them with Xie Chixu after dinner, and then dispersed.
Jing Hu reluctantly watched Ke Mingxu walk in the direction of the outer courtyard. Today is the first day, and Ke Mingxu will move to Yunshan Academy the day after tomorrow, and I don't know when the steward of the Mingqing Mansion will be able to arrange things so that she can see him again.
It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, why don't she go to him later?
