Chapter 141: Everyone's Eyes on the Move
That night, in the twenty-four cities.
Chang'an drinks at the same table as Hushan.
General Gao, the defender of the Twenty-four Cities, has been relieved of his duties due to dereliction of duty, and Hushan was promoted from Ti Zhi to become a Fu army, and because he assisted Gao Lang to win successive battles and defeat Nanyi, he took over the position of General Gao and was responsible for garrisoning the Twenty-four Cities.
"You don't know the dangers of that day!" Hushan poured two large sips of wine from his neck and rushed to Chang'an, "Zhao Jin, that little thief, took advantage of the exhaustion of His Highness when he came back from the battle, and actually carried out a secret attack on his mother, and lost His Royal Highness the Seventh to be brave, and shot an arrow with his backhand, humming ......"
Before Hushan's words were finished, he was stopped by Chang'an: "The wall has ears, after all, he is the Fifth Highness, the son of His Majesty, you are so arrogant, call his name at will, worried about causing trouble to the Seventh Master!" β
"You're just too cautious!" Hushan pushed the wine bowl in front of Chang'an, "I see who dares to poke his ears in front of me, Lao Tzu grabbed the ear and took the lead and chopped it down together!" β
After that, he took a sip of wine: "I'm not done yet!" Listen on! β
"Isn't Zhao Jin's thief going to pretend to be sick and close the door? Our Royal Highness's arrow shot straight over, hitting Zhao Jin's knee, and asked him to kneel down on one knee towards our Royal Highness on the spot, hum, I'm afraid that he will really be unable to get out of the house after that. β
Chang'an couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "That's right, one is to raise his legs, and the other is to show up in front of our seventh master again." β
"Hahaha not really!" Hushan laughed, "Without Zhao Jin sneaking around behind his back, this battle of Wulijiang should be over!" β
"It's still thanks to Brother Tiger!" Chang'an arched his hand and took the wine cup to salute Tiger Mountain, "I heard that since Brother Tiger led the army, many capable people have been promoted in the barracks. β

Jin Xiaolou received Gao Lang's letter in early May, three days before the Duanyang Festival.
At this time, Linlangfang has created a momentum, almost full every night, because of the registration fee to participate in the rush, Linlangfang almost does not cost much, Jin Xiaolou will smash a lot of money on the color head.
Tonight's color head is even more exquisite, it is Jin Xiaolou spent five hundred taels of silver to find the old craftsman who retired from the palace, and created a cloisonnΓ© enamel peony pattern melon-style lid jar.
Although the silver is not much, this lid jar is designed by Jin Xiaolou himself, shaped like a round melon, narrow at the top and abundant at the bottom, with melon edges, the lid is a golden melon, and the bottom is a flower and leaf foot, which is full of loveliness.
The body of the can is decorated with a peony pattern with a red background, which is colorful and eye-catching.
What's even more attractive is that the lid jar is filled with Linlangfang's new sweet water jade cheese roast, and Linlangfang has a word that the jade cheese roast is the best sweet water in Linlangfang, and only this time.
The snacks and refreshments in Linlangfang are delicious, everyone knows that many guests go to the second and third times not only to see Dachongguan, but also to eat the refreshments that are sold with the tickets.
The cheese was burned as the last bait that lured the cat out.
Even the ladies and ladies of famous aristocratic families in the capital were a little itchy, and they set up a private room on the second floor at a high price, and ordered their own capable little servants to sign up for the big chong pass, so as to get this lottery back.
Mrs. Ji in the house of Lord Ji of the Ministry of Shangshu and her youngest daughter Ji Lingyun, who has not yet come out of the cabinet, also came to catch up with this lively trip.
The two of them took a personal maid and took a boat to enter from the back door of Linlangfang, and as soon as they came in, they went straight to the left side of the second floor, in the private room separated by the curtain.
As soon as she sat down, Ji Lingyun reached out and stabbed her mother: "Mother, who do you see on the other side?" β
Mrs. Ji looked up through the gauze curtain, and saw a woman sitting in the private room opposite, through the double curtains, the woman's appearance was full of shadows, and she could only see that she was in good shape and was in her prime age.
Mrs. Ji shook her head: "I can't see it, how do you know each other?" β
Ji Lingyun sighed: "In vain, mother, you compare me with her every day, and now you put her in front of your eyes, you can't see it." β
"That woman is actually the third lady in the mansion of the Ministry of Rites?" Mrs. Ji's eyes widened, "She is so bold, a woman who has not left the pavilion has come to this Golan Washer alone to see the excitement!" β
Ji Lingyun sneered: "Mother, aren't we the same?" β
"How can we be like her?!" Mrs. Ji was angry, "I was pulled here by you, otherwise how could I ...... this kind of place?"
"Oh, Mother!" Ji Lingyun shouted, "Now in the entire capital, which lady hasn't been to this Linlangfang?" Everyone is tacit and out of the way. β
Ji Lingyun leaned forward, looked down at Da Chongguan, deliberately stared at his little servant twice, and muttered: "I just want to taste the jade cheese burning, everyone has said that such good things, only today's one, there will be no more in the future, if I Ji Lingyun gets it, those girls will be red with me for at least a whole year!" β
"It's not promising!" Mrs. Ji nodded at her, "If you marry the Seventh Highness, it will make them blush for a lifetime!" β
"Oops! Say this again! Ji Lingyun frowned, "I don't like to hear this!" Your Royal Highness that fool, whoever wants to marry whoever wants to marry, I will marry a cat and a dog, a pig and a cow, and I will not marry him! β
Mrs. Ji was in a hurry to get on the fire, and she wanted to say more, but the gongs and drums had already sounded below, and the big chong pass began.
Jin Xiaolou took advantage of the big color this time to increase the difficulty of rushing through the level, and changed the hemp rope net that was hung and flipped into a hanging horizontal beam that required strong arm strength to climb over.
At the beginning of almost a stick of incense, many people fell into the water at the level where they hung the beam.
Ji Lingyun glanced at it, and saw that everyone sitting on the second floor was in a hurry, but she herself was calm.
The little guy she found was the first-class in the Ji Mansion, and he could easily jump on the eaves, and he didn't take these rushing flowers into account at all.
Opposite, Zhu Shilang's youngest daughter, Zhu Shishi, the third lady of Zhu Mansion, had already seen Ji Lingyun.
She picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, took another bite of the walnut crisp, and lowered her head to look down.
After looking at it twice, he focused on the people sent by Ji Fuli.
Zhu Shishi beckoned, and the close-fitting maid immediately leaned down, Zhu Shishi said a few words, and the maid immediately nodded, pushed open the door behind the private room, and walked out.
After a while, the little maid appeared on the first floor, holding her hand, and said something to the little maids in Zhu's mansion.
Zhu Shishi used the tactics of crowds, and she sent twenty small servants, and the color was inevitable.
Earlier, because Ji Shangshu and Zhu Shilang were officials in the same dynasty and the queen's party, the two mansions were close, and the children of the two families often played together.
Especially Ji Lingyun and Zhu Shishi, both of whom are the youngest daughters in the house, are of the same age, and used to be the best boudoir close friends.
Until the crown prince was not successful, the Five Princes Party came out of nowhere, and the Queen Party gradually had two factions in the Crown Prince and the Seven Princes.
When the Seven Princes were still stupid, the queen once tried the two ladies of Shangshu and Shilang's family, and wanted to point out the two young daughters who had not yet left the cabinet to the Seven Princes as concubines, but the daughter of one family thought that the Seven Princes were stupid, and the other family had greater ambitions and wanted to be the next queen, so the matter was put on hold.
And now that the Seven Princes are not only not stupid, but also heroic, they are the best candidates for the king, and the minds of the two families are active, and they want to pick up the marriage that was pushed down before.
Ji Lingyun is the most rejecting of her parents' words of matchmaking, so she doesn't want to marry the Seventh Prince in her heart, but Zhu Shishi wants to make her an opponent and fight with her everywhere, so annoyed that Ji Lingyun is also against Zhu Shishi everywhere.
The next one to go up to the big chong pass is the little guy in Jifu.
Ji Lingyun simply stood up and stood on the outside of the private room, staring at the little guy without blinking.
Zhu Shishi sneered, loosened her back, leaned on the back of the chair, and listened to the sound, and the little guy began to break through.
The first-class little guy in Jifu is worthy of its reputation, and the first two levels were easily passed.
Like the swallow spreading its wings, its chic and free posture attracted applause from the audience.
Ji Lingyun smiled proudly, raised her eyes and looked at the colorful heads placed in the silk pile on the platform on the second floor, and the jar was even more shining under the light of the lamps and candles.
I only felt that I was nine out of ten, and looked down, but I saw that when I came to the third level of the rotating waterwheel, the five guys who pushed the waterwheel were pushed down by several other people wearing the same clothes who suddenly rushed up.
The little guy in Jifu also has real skills, even so, he stood still, and just wanted to go forward, but the waterwheel was fast and slow, and after a while, he fell off the carriage with three or two strokes.
The water splashed and Zhu Shishi laughed.
Ji Lingyun lifted the curtain in front of the private room, and said angrily: "Black curtain! Is this how you do business? Do your hands and feet in front of everyone's eyes, and get tired of it! Shameless! β
