Chapter 287: Rumors in the Market
The years have passed and seem to have passed exceptionally quickly.
By the time Chu Peijin's small toy workshop was gradually on the right track, the calendar had already turned over the second day of February.
At this time, the people in Kyoto are most concerned about the condition of His Royal Highness the Prince!
Since the Shangyuan Festival, the news that the prince has fallen ill has gradually spread in the East Palace, and then some people have said that several imperial doctors have been rumored to stay in the East Palace for a night!
The crown prince is the prince of a country, and if something happens to the prince, the impact on Xishao is not small!
No, the prince's condition has not improved, but a wind of forming a party has quietly set off in the court! Even the spring festival that is about to start has become a little treacherous!
Above the court, the second prince, the third prince who was named King Kang, and the fourth prince, the fifth prince and the sixth prince, who are already adults, have their own supporters in private!
Under the court, those exam-taking students who are slightly famous have also become the targets of those ministers who have formed a party!
Chu Peijin glanced at the posts in Jing Yan's hand with some teasing, and said with a smile: "Not bad, there are still so many people supporting you!" Shouldn't you be able to show something? ”
Jing Yan chuckled lightly and said, "Don't you still want me to give an acceptance speech?" ”
Chu Peijin chuckled and said, "That's what I mean!" ”
Jing Yan looked at her dotingly and said, "You! I'm really afraid that the world will not be chaotic! After speaking, he threw the things in his hand back into the hands of the night soul and waved his hand to let him retreat, and then said: "Now it is said that my father is still very healthy, even if he is not in a good situation now, he is not suitable for forming a party for personal gain!" You must know that no emperor wants to see this happen, no matter which dynasty or generation! ”
Chu Peijin thought so!
"You think so, but the ministers don't, how do you respond to their enthusiasm?"
The corners of Jing Yan's lips hooked slightly, and said: "I have my own plans for this matter, the spring festival is about to start, how can my father not know about the small actions below?" It's just that everything will wait until the end of spring and then settle accounts after autumn! So, you don't have to worry about me making a mistake! It's you, the store is going to open tomorrow, don't you need to take a look? ”
"Of course, you're going, but you mean you're going with me?" After Chu Peijin finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows.
Although she has rarely appeared in front of people recently, for some reason, the not-so-good rumors about her have always come to her ears from time to time, which makes her a little annoyed! In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she even walked with a mask at the Lantern Festival on the Metaverse!
Jing Yan chuckled lightly and said, "Why not?" My Fair Lady, Gentleman! Isn't it normal for this prince to look at a beautiful woman and run around? ”
The corners of Chu Peijin's mouth twitched and glared at him, and said, "Since you are not afraid of people gossiping, then go along!" ”
It's just that when they appeared on the lively streets, Chu Peijin immediately began to regret it!
"Oops! Isn't that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince? How could he be with that woman? ”
"You're talking about...... Yikes! How could it be her? She's not...... Don't they all have children? How did she have the face to come out and hook up with our handsome and talented Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Xishao Kingdom? Where did she get such a big face? ”
"That's it, that's it...... This kind of person...... It's thick-skinned......"
Chu Peijin listened silently with a dark face, subconsciously raised her hand and touched her little face, then glared at Jing Yan and said, "Is my face big and thick?" ”
Jing Yan's face was naturally not much better, although the person who said it was not him, but he felt that it was even more unbearable than himself!
"They are envious and jealous of you, you wait, I'll go and vent your anger!"
After Jing Yan said this, without waiting for Chu Peijin to react, he quickly walked to the women not far away, and said coldly in their surprised eyes: "This hall hates long-tongued women very much, why don't you order someone to shorten your tongue now, how about it?" ”
Surprise turned into horror in an instant!
Several women lost their faces, and they all trembled in Jing Yansenhan's gaze!
Jing Yan sneered coldly at their appearance, and said, "If the next time the main hall finds you chewing the root of people's tongues behind your back, then you must be prepared that you don't have to open your mouth in this life!" ”
After saying this, he flicked his long sleeves, turned around, strode back to Chu Peijin, hugged her, and went directly into the newly opened store.
The remaining women didn't come back to their senses until they couldn't see Jing Yan's figure for a long time!
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince...... He actually ...... "When he said this, as if he remembered what Qianyan had said, the woman immediately covered her mouth and didn't dare to say anything more!" It's just that the jealousy hidden in her eyes betrayed her mood at this time!
"Let's go!" One of the women took her companion's arm and walked away quickly.
Chu Peijin was depressed!
"When did I even have a baby? Who is the child's father? ”
After speaking, he was indignant: "Where did they hear the gossip that they dare to say so openly in front of me, is it possible?" ”
As soon as Chu Peijin thought of a possibility, she couldn't stay any longer!
"Let's go and sit in the teahouse!" After saying this, she didn't look at Jing Yan's face and grabbed his arm and walked out.
Inside the teahouse, a cerulean bamboo curtain separates many inquiring eyes from the lobby of the teahouse.
Chu Peijin's fingertips gently stroked the blue teacup in his hand, and his brows frowned!
From time to time, various sounds from outside came to my ears.
Jing Yan frowned and looked at her, and said, "You don't have to be so ......"
Chu Peijin raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said, "How do you know what you really look like in the eyes of others if you don't listen?" ”
Seeing her like this, Jing Yan felt even more uncomfortable. He patted her arm lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter!" ”
Chu Peijin nodded and silently cast her gaze outside the bamboo curtain.
"I heard that Mrs. Jia is sick again, and he is very sick!"
"Is it true? A few days ago, I heard people say that he was already able to go to court, why did he get sick again so soon? What's going on? ”
The man smiled, lowered his voice and said, "I also heard from someone that three of the four personal maids before Young Master Jia who had been beheaded were found to be pregnant!" If you think about it, three at once! That little young master Jia is already dead, who knows if the servant girl's belly is his kind except him? ”
"Really? Why wasn't there a rumor that a woman was pregnant with his child when he was alive before? When this man died, he made four of them at once! There's a problem here! ”
"Who's to say it isn't!" The man sighed twice and said, "I'm afraid this is also karma!" What did Jia Yuliang do when he was alive? He deserves to die, his Jia family raises children for others......"
"Huh? So, those four are not the Jia family's species? ”
“…… I didn't say that...... Come on, come on, drink tea, drink tea! Don't talk about dead people, bad luck! ”
"Phew! Didn't you bring it up? But when it comes to being pregnant, didn't I hear that the girl who was kicked out of Wu'an Houfu before was also pregnant, and I don't know if it's true or not......
When Chu Peijin heard this, her heart moved, and she said secretly: Sure enough, her gossip is indispensable!
It's just that she looked down at the slender waist that was not in her hand, where did she look like she had a child?
