203 Feast
"It's just that now, whether I marry or not, and who I marry, it's not up to me to control." Speaking of which, once again, she has only been very passive about marriage.
There are no reasons for this situation. It's just that the only thing that is certain is that Ji Shuxuan can no longer be involved in this, even if it is for the sake of their acquaintance.
"However, there are some things that you know very well, so don't embarrass yourself anymore." He is now a young talent, even if the foundation of the Ji family is shallow, no one in the huge Fengjing City takes a fancy to him. Which family is the fast son-in-law of the dragon, and if someone is promoted to take care of it, in the future, it is naturally a bright future.
Ji Shuxuan may not understand, but he just can't pass his own level.
"You say...... How great if you could wait a little longer? ”
In these words, there is a strong unwillingness, as well as sighs. Maybe...... In Ji Shuxuan's opinion, as long as he is given time, he can become stronger, and he no longer has to make a choice between Pei Jinzhen and his family, and he doesn't have to be afraid of a lucky king.
However, Pei Jinzhen knew that even if it was like that, it might be ...... Nor will it change.
The two of them had different thoughts, so they were silent and did not say anything more.
Ji Shuxuan raised his head, seemed to take a deep breath, calmed down, and then turned his head to look at Pei Jinji, his expression was much calmer, "There is one thing, I have always wanted to ask you, since I met it today, it is just right." ”
Pei Jinzhen frowned suspiciously, and in the next moment, his eyes shrank by his words.
"Do you remember, at that time, you asked me, do you know Ye Zhun?" When Ji Shuxuan asked this, his eyes were deep and he stared at her deeply.
Pei Jinzhen's eyes paused slightly, and then he was a little puzzled, "I remember, you said at that time that you didn't know each other. Now, why do you mention it?
"At that time, I really didn't know it, but now...... His Majesty felt that Brother Ye's name was a little inappropriate, and he was named after the word 'quasi' given by the royal pen. Ye Zhun is Brother Ye. Ji Shuxuan's tone was flat, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Pei Jinzhen's face.
Pei Jinzhen naturally knew that Ji Shuxuan was suspicious of her, but there were some things that she would rather die than let people notice anything.
She pinched her palm, and her face showed just the right amount of surprise, "Really? It's also too coincidental. I said Ye Zhun, I also heard others mention it, he is a foot merchant who travels south and north, I heard that he has some things in his hand, even if they are not in the shops in Fengjing City, so I specially asked you. But it has nothing to do with Mr. Ye. If I had known that Mr. Ye would be called by this name, wouldn't I have been a prophet? As he spoke, he smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth like braided shells.
Ji Shuxuan looked at her for a moment, and a smile flashed under his eyes, the meaning was unknown, "Really?" ”
Being able to enter and leave the imperial study at will, Ji Shuxuan is naturally different now, Pei Jinzhen knows that he has not completely relieved his doubts, but ...... So what?
There are some things that she doesn't say, and no one will ever guess, because it's too unbelievable.
And Ji Shuxuan's temperament, she still knows a little, she is not completely sure, and it is about her, he should be tight-lipped and not tell anyone, especially ...... Ye Huaisheng. Oh! No! Now, it should be called Ye Zhun.
It turned out that in this life, Ye Zhun's name was given by the emperor, and it was such a great honor. Accurate, straight, too. It shows His Majesty's value and love for talent. I just don't know, in the previous life, the origin of the name of Ye Zhun is the same?
When she returned to Pei's mansion, Pei Jinzhen's mind was still around Ye Zhun, and she didn't know why she cared about this person so much, maybe ...... Is it because he was the last person she saw in her previous life? Still, she always remembered, the moment she sank into the darkness, the slender hand that picked up the jade pendant she fell to the ground.
Also, in my dreams, it occasionally rains scarlet blood...... It's always hard for her to let go.
"Girl!" Mama Yuan, who came forward, saw that she had been distracted. Obviously, he didn't listen to her words, so he couldn't help frowning, raised his voice slightly, and called again, and the green branch on the side gently pushed her again.
Pei Jinzhen finally woke up and couldn't help but smile apologetically, "What did Mama say?" ”
"Tomorrow, at the banquet of Lord Zhou's family, Mrs. said that she would bring several girls with her."
Pei Jinzhen was slightly stunned when he heard this. Only then did he react that the family of the household servant Zhou had just added the eldest grandson a few days ago, and his father's immediate boss, their family naturally prepared a gift to send it. Today, this is the time for a 100-day feast.
Because today's Mrs. Pei is from the British Mansion, now, everyone in Fengjing City has to look down on Pei's Mansion, and such a banquet is naturally indispensable to the Pei family.
But...... Take the sisters with them. Mother means......
Pei Jinji's eyes flashed, and he nodded, "I know." Mama worked hard, chose clothes for me, and ironed them first. ”
Early in the morning of the second day, the four sisters of the Pei family all dressed up and went to Yuan Jingyi's main courtyard to greet her.
For those concubines, Yuan Jingyi was naturally just face-saving, and seeing that their makeup was quite generous and solemn, she looked away and took a closer look at Pei Jinzhen's outfit.
With Mama Yuan's checks, the clothes and jewelry are naturally dignified and elegant, neither rude nor overly outstanding, but in line with the makeup of civil officials.
When Yuan Jingyi saw it, she nodded secretly and smiled with satisfaction.
At the end, he led a few sisters to Chunhui Courtyard to greet Mrs. Pei, and Mrs. Pei said goodbye again, and the mother and daughter went out of the side door of the carriage.
A total of three carriages were prepared, and Yuan Jingyi pulled Pei Jinzhen into the first one.
Pei Jinhui, Pei Jinyun and Pei Jinrong took the second car, and the third car was mostly maids and servants who followed the car.
On the way to the Zhou Mansion, Yuan Jingyi was talking to Pei Jinzhen about the in-laws of the Zhou family, as well as what she knew, the daughters of the Zhou family, and some relationships and habits of the daughters of each family.
However, Yuan Jingyi used to come and go in the British government, mostly in the family of the noble family, but she was not so familiar with the civil official Qingliu, and her knowledge was limited.
Even so, it was she who inquired carefully, and Pei Jinzhen was grateful.
The garden of the Zhou Mansion is naturally much more elaborate than the Pei Mansion. is only compared with the British Mansion and the Jing'an Hou Mansion, which is still a lot worse.
Pei Jinzhen is not the one who has never seen the world, followed Yuan Jingyi to wear flowers and willows, and went all the way from the second gate to the flower hall where the Zhou Mansion was entertaining, and was welcomed in.
Except for when I entered the door, I raised my eyes and swiped it, and after that, I didn't squint, and the smile on the corner of my mouth was no more or less, just right.
On such an occasion, although they came to congratulate the Zhou Mansion, the daughters of each family also held different purposes.
Sure enough, after a while, a lady glanced at the Pei family sisters behind Yuan Jingyi with a smile, and said, "I really envy Mrs. Pei, look, these daughters are all like those flowers and bones, just looking at them, it is also gratifying." ”
