Chapter 49: Revealing the Old Bottom [Second Update]
The sky is like washing, there are several buildings and boats in the blue waves of Gushui, and the light purple rhombus yarn on the eaves is sometimes fluttering and stirring, looking at it from afar, like the Sendai Pavilion in the sky, making people forget that this body is still in the mortal world.
Ji Erlan leaned on the railing in the water, carefully feeling the breeze like a thin veil brushing her ears, if it weren't for Ji Tianjiao dangling over there, she would almost be intoxicated by this melting atmosphere.
Ji Tianjiao has recovered from the previous setbacks, and he is thinking about how to talk to others. It's just that she says one thing and says another, and few people are willing to talk to her more. People only asked her name, and they knew that she was the concubine of the Ji family, so they didn't want to talk to her more.
When I was depressed, I suddenly heard someone on the side laugh and ask: "You are the eldest daughter of the Ji family, Ji Erlan's sister, right?" β
When Ji Tianjiao heard the questioning, she was first surprised, and then she was happy. The other party not only took the initiative to ask her, but also asked her as the 'eldest daughter', obviously caring about her face. This is the only identity that Ji Tianjiao can take on the stage, so she immediately turned around and looked back, and smiled: "Exactly, I don't know if you are?" β
The girl in yellow bent her eyebrows and smiled: "My surname is Zhong, and my name is Lingyu." My father was the commander of the Wupin Protector Army. β
Ji Tianjiao saw the other party greet each other with a smile, and reported to herself, so polite, she was flattered and came to the other party, and said: "It turned out to be Sister Lingyu, just now I saw you greet my second sister, but she looked cold, I will accompany you for her." Don't forget to go to your heart, my second sister has not been treated by my father since she was a child, so she has a cold and hard temperament. β
Zhong Lingyu heard her arranging her sisters like this in front of outsiders, and smiled secretly in her heart, but her face showed curiosity: "So that's the case?" β
"It stands to reason that I shouldn't say more about my sisters...... It's just ......" Ji Tianjiao looked embarrassed, and he looked very aggrieved when he shouldn't say it.
Zhong Lingyu smiled and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, since we can get close, you can talk to me about your heart, and I won't talk to others." β
Ji Tianjiao saw that he finally had a chance to speak, so he leaned over and sat next to her, talking about his aunt Gu being bullied by Ji Tianjiao with her identity, and how favored she was in front of her father. said that after going to Beijing, his father had to pay attention to Ji Erlan because of the rules......
Zhong Lingyu had already heard Cheng Xiaoxiao's people talk about the Ji family, and at this time, she was just bored and teasing Ji Tianjiao, but she didn't expect her to be so serious, so she only listened to it as a joke. When she was almost done complaining, she said: "Your second sister is a little bit indistinguishable, she doesn't have eyebrows, and she offends Miss Cheng." β
Ji Tianjiao became even more excited when she heard this: "Sister Lingyu is talking about ......"
As the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of sneering laughter behind them. Zhong Lingyu turned her head and saw that it was someone from the Meng family of the imperial businessman, her brows immediately twisted, and her previous kindness and cuteness suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she squinted at her: "What are you laughing at!" How can you eavesdrop on someone talking here? β
Zhong Lingyu has always looked down on merchant women who are full of copper smell, even if they are imperial merchants, they are also merchants! It's like you're going to take those 'blockages' as if you're going to die.
Meng Ruxu looked innocent: "I just passed by here, but I didn't eavesdrop, I heard it generously." After speaking, she sneered again, looked at Ji Tianjiao and said, "It is worthy of being a favored daughter, I heard that Miss Ji Er's fiancΓ© is now your fiancΓ©?" I heard that you still grabbed it in public? β
Ji Tianjiao's face turned red: "No! That, it was just an accident! β
Meng Ruxu has been doing business and settling accounts with his father since he was a child, and he has a lot of cool energy, and he can't look down on Zhong Lingyu who obviously covets the wealth of their Meng family, but he wants to pretend to be high. The two of them also carry guns and sticks when they meet on weekdays. So when he saw Zhong Lingyu talking to a strange girl, he came over to find out. Meng Ruxu didn't argue, and said: "I don't like to chew the root of this tongue, it's up to you whether it's true or not!" β
The more she said this, the more others believed it, Ji Tianjiao looked at Zhong Lingyu, who was just kind and pleasant, and her face was cold, and she couldn't help but hurriedly say: "I, I don't have ......"
Zhong Lingyu looked at Meng Ruxu, and then looked at Ji Tianjiao's face, and knew that this matter was true, and couldn't help but regret why he had nothing to do and said something to Ji Tianjiao for so long!
With her identity, she couldn't get in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao, and the news she got was just a corner, and naturally she didn't know that Ji Tianjiao had done such a thing. How can she associate with someone who has something ugly!
Regardless of status, who doesn't care about their reputation? It is precisely because of this that everyone disdains to associate with those concubines. Zhong Lingyu couldn't help but say: "It's that I'm clumsy, thank you Miss Meng San for reminding me." She looked at Ji Tianjiao and said coldly: "What my aunt raised, that is, what about some good colors, in the end, it will only compete for favor, and it will not be on the stage." β
Zhong Lingyu snorted coldly as she spoke, and turned her head to stop looking at Ji Tianjiao.
If the matter of robbing your fiancΓ© falls on you, you may have 10,000 reasons to convince yourself, which is a bitter matter! But if you put it on someone else, no one will think so.
Meng Ruxu had long been accustomed to Zhong Lingyu's rudder, and smiled casually, not planning to say anything more, and was about to turn around and leave. Ji Tianjiao was angry, she finally talked to someone, but she was so stirred: "You, why are you stirring up right and wrong, you are full of copper smell, and where are you noble!" β
Zhong Lingyu turned her head in surprise, although Ji Tianjiao was a little lacking in heart, but someone could scold Meng Ruxu a few words, she was still very happy to see it.
The green frieze was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ji Tianjiao's sleeve, and reminded in a low voice: "Girl, the imperial merchant is not an ordinary merchant, you can't offend!" β
Ji Tianjiao bit her lip, and her eyes turned red. In fact, as soon as the words came out, she already regretted it, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, but fortunately her voice was not loud, and few people heard it. But she didn't have the heart to admit her mistakes, she only stiffened her pestle there, as if she was the one who was scolded!
Meng Ruxu smiled sarcastically, disdainful of Ji Tianjiao at all. She had heard this so much that there was no need to argue. People who can intersect will not be judged by their status.
But she didn't pursue it, but Ji Erlan couldn't ignore it, this was the face of the Ji family, and it was also her face.
Ji Tianjiao saw Ji Erlan get up and walk towards her, biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of embarrassment.
Ji Erlan looked at Ji Tianjiao with a sharp gaze: "Copper smell? Dare to ask the big sister, which of the clothes and shoes, rouge gouache, and hairpin ring pendants on your body was not exchanged for this copper smell? You are so rude to Miss Meng, I think, the eldest sister should wake up first, and then be punished by her father at night! β
Meng Ruxu glanced at Ji Erlan in surprise, he didn't expect that this person who was rumored in the capital would be such a resolute and resolute person. If you want to say that this copper stinks or not, who hasn't run a shop or two. Those who look down on people under this banner are actually those who have no ability to make money and work hard, such as Zhong Lingyu.
Ji Erlan gave Meng Ruxu a salute: "Miss Meng smiled." β
Meng Ruxu looked at her generously, with joy and appreciation in his eyes: "Where is Miss Ji Er, it's me who talks too much." β
There were many people here, and the two of them smiled wisely, and they didn't say more.
Seeing this, Zhong Lingyu on the side couldn't help glaring at Ji Tianjiao fiercely and left quickly.
Ji Tianjiao secretly gritted her teeth, but she offended people just now, so she didn't dare to say more, looking at Ji Rujun who was sitting next to her and eating, she threw all her anger on her: "Eat, eat, you know how to eat!" β
Ji Rujun blinked her eyes and was not angry, but smiled: "Big sister, who is the sister in red over there?" β
Ji Tianjiao looked in the direction she pointed, and saw the girl in red, with her eyebrows flying and her tall figure, followed by several girls with fluttering clothes, walking towards this side, and the green frieze on the side hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Girl, this is Cheng Xiaoxiao, the eldest girl of the Cheng family." β
Ji Tianjiao's heart suddenly swooped, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, what happened just now seemed to become less important in an instant. Cheng Xiaoxiao is the person she has to pay close attention to today, and it is best to say a few words. She subconsciously looked at Ji Erlan, but Ji Erlan still looked at Gushui carelessly, and she didn't mean to deal with it carefully.
Ji Erlan felt Ji Tianjiao's eyes, and she didn't know what to say, what was she anxious about? Could it be that Cheng Xiaoxiao is here, and she wants to come forward and bow three times and knock nine times to greet the other party?
Cheng Xiaoxiao took a few steps to the front and said, "Why is Miss Ji sitting here coldly, isn't it that these subordinates are neglecting?" β
Ji Erlan smiled: "Where is it, it's just that the scenery here is pleasant, and I will be distracted unconsciously." Speaking of which, I would like to thank Miss Cheng for her hospitality. β
As soon as Fang Qingxue came, someone used an excuse to drag her elsewhere, and I didn't know what Cheng Xiaoxiao was paying attention to.
"That's good, I'm worried you're not used to it." Cheng Xiaoxiao saw Ji Tianjiao standing stupidly on the side, and asked, "This is Miss Ji?" Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Ji Tianjiao casually for a moment, and said with a smile: "Your sisters' appearance is not very similar, if you don't say it, I really can't see that you are sisters." β
This was originally true, Ji Erlan and Ji Tianjiao's appearance really has no similarities. It's just that these words came out of Cheng Xiaoxiao's mouth, how it sounded like sarcasm. Compared with the appearance of Ji Erlan and the concubine, it seems to make her heart happy.
Ji Erlan heard the meaning of her words, but she didn't accept it, because Ji Tianjiao's face was already wonderful enough.
Ji Tianjiao's appearance followed Aunt Gu's ninety percent of nine, and hearing these words in her ears undoubtedly made the relationship between her and Ji Erlan's concubine more clear. In front of many noble ladies, Ji Tianjiao felt more and more humble, and hated Ji Erlan more and more. When he looked at Ji Erlan, he showed a bit of hatred.
Cheng Xiaoxiao saw this, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she glanced at her side. Immediately, a girl stepped forward and grabbed Ji Tianjiao and said, "You just came, you don't know anyone yet, why don't you come with me, I'll introduce you to you." β
Ji Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately swallowed the breath that Fang Cai's throat was blocking, and said happily: "Really? Thank you very much for that. β
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaoxiao also said to Ji Erlan: "Second Miss Ji, don't be restrained, if you need anything, just tell them, I'll go and entertain them elsewhere first, and we'll talk later." β
Ji Tianjiao was about to follow everyone else to go elsewhere, but Ji Rujun suddenly grabbed her sleeve and shouted, "Big sister." β
