Chapter Twenty-Six: The Little Lord of the King of Jin
"How can I be in bad health?" Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at her and said with a smile, "This lady is really good at laughing." ”
The county lord's eyes flashed, he looked at A-Xing, and said with a smile: "Really? However, when we just came, listen to this little maid ......"
Before she finished speaking, Ah Xing's face had changed slightly, obviously, after experiencing the verbal 'exchange' when Zhuo Zhaojie met on the first day of returning to Chang'an, although Zhuo Fangdian brought a county lord as a helper today, he didn't expect to be able to kill Zhuo Zhaojie's reputation for being sick all at once, their real purpose today was actually themselves!
Zhuo Zhaojie's health is good or not, of course Zhuo Fangdian knows very well, even if Zhuo Zhaojie really takes a nap in the thatched hut, hearing Zhuo Fangdian's greeting outside the house, the envoy 'girl' around her will naturally wake her up, and Zhuo Fangdian and the county lord are singing outside the fence saying that Zhuo Zhaojie's body is weak, where is Zhuo Zhaojie's reason not to refute?
With such an argument, the county lord put all the charges of spreading rumors on Ah Xing, who went out first to answer, so Zhuo Zhaojie may not be willing to punish Ah Xing...... But there is also a serious elder of Zhuo Zhaojie, Zhuo Fangdian!
Ah Xing didn't doubt it at all, the county lord said this, Zhuo Fangdian would immediately turn his face and give himself a good look in the name of caring for his juniors!
Just a slave maid, even at the princess's banquet, as long as she is not killed, no one can blame an aunt who loves her niece and nephew - especially Zhuo Zhaojie has only arrived in Chang'an, and Ah Xing and Ah Li have just served her, Zhuo Fangdian can take off the discussion of "interfering" in her niece and "daughter" and making her personal envoy "female" with a slight change in her words, but it makes people praise her for daring to punish Diao Nu for her niece and nephew, and indirectly makes people laugh at You's even the people around her 'daughter' who are not good at training...... The most important thing is that You Shi has worked hard to train Ah Xing and Ah Li, and it is not so easy to make up for it quickly if you go to one!
Ah Xing's mind was racing, the county lord had just made a start, she had already figured out the next trap, but ...... She is just a handmaiden, and now there is no room for her to 'interject'.
Fortunately, Zhuo Zhaojie lived up to Ban's years of cultivation, she quickly interrupted the county lord's words, and didn't let the county lord say the next words at all, so she smiled and said: "Ah, I know, this lady must have listened to my little aunt, right?" My little aunt likes to say that people are weak and sick, this can't be helped, my little aunt is the youngest, several cousins and cousins in our generation are older than my little aunt, and my little aunt loves to take care of people the most, but we are all so old, where can we let my little aunt take care of it like a three-year-old child? So my aunt likes to say that we are not in good health, so that my aunt can take care of ...... It's weird to say. ”
"............" Zhuo Fangdian and the county lord were silent, Zhuo Fangdian smiled and said: "You, you are really a master who does not suffer, where do I keep saying that you are weak and sick?" I just thought that you came back from Jiangnan, why did I come to see you and fall asleep in the blue sky? Don't be unadaptable! ”
Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and said, "This lady saw it, right?" The little aunt still refuses to admit it! Where do I look like I can't adapt to the soil? It's nothing more than the habit of taking a nap around noon, and the little aunt has to say that it's not good, but I'm afraid I can't take care of me, in fact, although the little aunt is only one year older than me, after all, she is a serious elder, not to mention that I am good now, and I am so old, even if I am still young, with Ah Xing and them, how can I afford to take care of the little aunt herself? ”
Is this a comparison between me and Ah Xing?
The corners of Zhuo Fangdian's mouth curled, and he said to the county lord: "Look, I said that Xiao Qiniang is smart and clever, right?" I just scolded her, and she replied so much! ”
The county lord also smiled: "This sharp-toothed person, and born with such a good appearance, I always think that Liugu's 'spring' banquet has been here several times, and I have seen all kinds of talents, and now I know that the beauty is really a race!" She smiled while raising her sleeves to cover her mouth, and her demeanor was demure, like a delicate 'flower' shining on the water.
The two of them fought together to easily round the scene.
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't expect a sarcasm to make them angry, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "If you want to talk about beauty, who is not a beauty in this forest garden of Your Highness?" That's not interesting...... Ouch, it's me who is wrong, it's been so long, and you still call the little aunt and this lady outside? ”
Ah Xing hurriedly said: "The maid was also confused, and forgot to open the 'door'." ”
Because the outside of these thatched huts is a complete imitation of a farmhouse, but the fence that is knee-high for ordinary people also has a 'door', before Zhuo Zhaojie's master and servant only cared about talking, and didn't even move, Zhuo Fangdian and his party refused to move the 'door' by themselves, and at this moment A Xing went to remove the 'door', and the group came in.
Zhuo Zhaojie naturally asked people to serve tea and water, and took snacks to entertain, Zhuo Fangdian smiled and said: "Xiao Qi Niang, you just called 'this lady', but it's a little wrong, this is the little county lord of the Jin Palace, the name is Qianxia, and the word is ......."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Qianxia, the little county lord of King Jin, had already said lightly: "Okay, okay, okay, am I not a lady?" Said softly to Zhuo Zhaojie, "Don't listen to her, we are like each other, we are like this, why do you have to add what the county lord is not the county lord?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie has even seen the princess, and now she sees a county lord again, and it is brought by Zhuo Fangdian who she guarded against, it is really difficult to have any awe, whether Tang Qianxia is easy-going or not, she is actually not nervous, but in the end, she is a member of the clan, and she can't offend at will on the scene, so she hurriedly left the table and saluted, Tang Qianxia naturally told her not to be restrained.
Sitting down like this, Zhuo Zhaojie asked curiously: "I just heard from Sister Gu that the county lord is from the Red Feather Poetry Society, and he is about to arrange a tune these days, why did he have time to come here?" ”
Tang Qianxia smiled softly: "Yixiao and Qianxi fought again, and it seems that they can't practice today, so I came out to find Yunli and walked together." She spoke as if she was always so gentle, setting off the sadness between her eyebrows, and she really brought Chu Chu's attitude to the extreme.
Zhuo Fangdian explained intimately: "Qianxi is the word of the ancient lady, you probably don't know, right?" ”
"Isn't it? Thank you, little aunt, for telling me. Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile, "I heard that the Akabane Poetry Society can't join unless you have a skill, but the county lord is among them, it's really powerful." ”
Tang Qianxia chuckled lightly and said, "Where?" It's just that I pestered the sixth aunt a few times at that time, and she couldn't bear to refuse me. ”
That being said, but Zhuo Zhaojie believed what Gu Paner said, when Princess Yikang established the poetry club, she didn't want to say anything about her identity if she was not skilled, otherwise how could she not even be among the Chunyu sisters? And Zhuo Fangdian didn't get in?
It's just that she is just looking for a topic now, and she is not very interested in the talent of this county lord, so she smiled and said a few words about the county lord being too humble.
However, Zhuo Fangdian took over the conversation and asked with concern about what she had done since she went to the banquet, and mentioned Ning Shaobi as if intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't know that you and the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng have known each other in Moling?" Listen to the 'jade' mother, he is very familiar with you? You just went back to Chang'an and don't know, the Marquis of Yongcheng and our family are not all the way, don't get too close to him, carefully give birth to right and wrong. ”
Her persuasion did not mention any famous festivals, Ning Shaobi's reputation, etc., and pointed directly to the relationship between the two families, which not only did not offend the Marquis of Yongcheng, but also made Zhuo Zhaojie not good at arguing with her, and Zhuo Fangdian said the word "'jade' mother", which made Zhuo Zhaojie frown secretly, but quickly reacted - Zhuo 'jade' mother and Zhuo Zhaoshu are not fools, where would they not know the turbulent undercurrent between the big house, the fourth room and the Shen family's mother and son, how could they go to Zhuo Fangdian to complain?
Zhuo Fangdian said this is nothing more than to get used to the 'sex' provocation, if Zhuo Zhaojie has a grudge against his cousin and cousin because of this, it would be the best, if Zhuo Zhaojie sees through, and even goes to tell Zhuo 'jade' mother and Zhuo Zhaoshu, anyway, the people in the big house can't have a good impression of her, as for Zhuo Zhaoshu, although the Shen family is the stepfamily, but Mrs. Zhen is still eating under her now, where does the third room dare to say anything to Zhuo Fangdian?
Zhuo Zhaojie smiled lightly: "I know how the rumors came out, but there is a saying that rumors stop at the wise, why should we pay attention to these gossip?" ”
"You can't say that." Zhuo Fangdian looked like he was thinking about her, and said with concern, "It turns out that you are not familiar with Ning Shaobi?" That can't make people talk about you plainly! ”
Tang Qianxia also nodded, and said softly: "You have to find a way to justify this matter!" ”
"The county lord and the little aunt are like this, it's the rumors that are spreading!" Zhuo Zhaojie smiled indifferently and said, "This is the princess banquet, I think others are just joking, where do you dare to say that it is serious?" Otherwise, the princess's interest will be ruined...... Isn't it bad for yourself? Speaking of which, we also came out to enjoy the scenery and enjoy the scenery after receiving the post, and we always wonder how boring these gossips are? ”
She said this, if she continued to entangle, she would inevitably not have enough bearing, and the most important thing was that Zhuo Fangdian and Tang Qianxia both knew that such a matter could not immediately be weighed in Zhuo Zhaojie, and both of them laughed, revealing it as if nothing happened.
After saying a few words like this, Zhuo Zhaojie politely but resolutely declined their request to visit the garden together - after sending off the guests, when they returned to the hut, the faces of the five masters and servants were very unsightly.
Zhuo Zhaojie settled down, and then asked A Xing: "Who is this little county lord of the King of Jin?" ”
Ah Xing hated Tang Qianxia for helping Zhuo Fangdian's 'desire' just now to be unfavorable to herself, and she didn't have good words when she opened her mouth: "What kind of county lord, this county lord was exchanged for her by her biological mother!" It's just a concubine 'girl' of King Jin! ”
"Huh?" Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned, "Aren't the princes and concubines the 'daughters' of the county lords?" ”
Ah Xing pursed her lips and said: "Hui Niangzi, it's like this, but the matter of this little county lord is a little special, it was thirteen or fourteen years ago, the big county lord of the Jin Palace, that is, the eldest 'daughter' of the Jin princess, the serious county lord, when she was taking refuge in Cuiwei Mountain, did not fall into the Taiyi Pond carefully, the biological mother of the little county lord, that is, the Jin king's 'servant' concubine jumped down to rescue the big county lord, and she didn't want to be gone - later the Jin princess missed that' The concubine was loyal, and took this little county lord to raise him personally, and personally went to the queen mother to ask for a county lord title for her. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "So that's the case...... She has a good relationship with her little aunt? ”
"It's only been better in the past two years." Ah Xing said softly, "It is said that it was also at the 'Spring' banquet, because of the discussion of an ancient painting, it was like a familiar sight." ”
After a pause, Ah Xing said again, "However, the maid thinks it's ......" Speaking of this, she 'revealed' a hesitant 'color', Zhuo Zhaojie understood, and ordered: "You all go out." ”
When Ah Li, Chu Qiu, and Li Qiu were all gone, Ah Xing said softly: "The maid thinks that the county lord should take the initiative to approach Erniang." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie 'revealed' the "color" of surprise, the little county lord of the Jin Palace, even if he was not the county lord of the concubine, in the end he was also a serious clan, it is said that Zhuo Fangdian deliberately 'befriended' Tang Qianxia!
She motioned to Ah Xing to say the reason, and Ah Xing said imperceptibly, "Because the maid once heard the person who served in the fifth room say that Erniang's talent is acceptable, but Danqing has no talent, don't let her paint it herself, even the maid can recognize the fake, and Erniang will look away - but the reason why the little county lord of the Jin Dynasty was able to join the Red Feather Society was because of his brilliant Danqing, plus the pipa skills of Li Guoshou!" ”
- Danqing can be called superb, how can he talk about an ancient painting with a person who has no talent in Danqing?
