Chapter 175: Birthday Banquet
Since he saw the eldest lady's thoughts, and had a good relationship with Zhuo 'Yu', Zhuo Zhaojie naturally couldn't hide it: "This little Uncle Jiang hasn't heard of any marriage contracts or not, it's just ......"
As soon as she was so "just", the eldest lady suddenly lifted her heart, and listened to Zhuo Zhaojie explain: "I heard my second aunt say before, Uncle Jiang...... Quite amorous. β
The eldest lady frowned and asked, "Xiao Langjun's family is always pretty, but I don't know what kind of amorous method he is?" β
"I heard from my second aunt that he is quite famous in the Moling Goulan." Zhuo Zhaojie said, "My grandmother also said that he was frivolous. β
"Really?" When the eldest lady heard this, she was immediately disappointed, "That's not true. β
The You family knew the Ban family and the Bai family better than the eldest lady, and when he heard this, he was thoughtful, because he knew that the eldest lady had reached the point of exhausting her thoughts in order to give Zhuo 'jade' the mother's 'color' husband, and felt that Jiang Fufeng's choice was actually not bad, and it would be a pity if she missed it, so You Shi groaned for a moment and said: "When your second aunt and grandmother said this, was it when he lived in You's house?" β
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Yes." β
"This Jiang Xiaolangjun is still easy to attract little ladies to like." You Shi glanced at the eldest lady, the eldest lady's 'shrewdness', such a sentence naturally understood-the You family raised Zhuo Zhaojie on behalf of her, but she had no right to influence her marriage, and Jiang Fufeng looked at it as the kind of Lang Jun who was easy to please the little lady, he lived in the You family, and of course the You family had to guard against Zhuo Zhaojie' In this case, how about Jiang Fufeng, who Ban and Bai muttered in front of Zhuo Zhaojie, is not so credible, Zhuo Zhaojie only returned to Chang'an before, in order to prevent Shen Dangu, didn't Sifang spare no effort to say bad things about Shen Dangu?
So the eldest lady pondered for a moment and said: "Both talent and appearance are just young, and it is common sense that there are more people who like it, and Liuniang is also good." β
asked Zhuo Zhaojie again, "Do you know if he has any beautiful maids and concubines around him?" Is there anything he particularly cares about? β
"I don't know that." Zhuo Zhaojie smiled a little dumbly, and said, "Originally, Brother-in-law Lin should know, but now it is inconvenient to ask him, Uncle Jiang and Brother-in-law Lin, my fourth cousin's fiancΓ© Song Weiyi, and a scholar surnamed Ma are very good, maybe they know better, I haven't heard of Uncle Jiang's famous concubine." β
The eldest lady narrowed her eyes and said, "It's good if there are no such people, and the rest, young people, will be sent away at that time." β
Zhuo Zhaojie seemed to agree with Jiang Fufeng when she heard this, which was very strange, but she had already said about Jiang Fufeng's affairs, but the You family and the eldest lady didn't seem to care, so there was nothing to say at the moment, so she only said: "I haven't seen much about Uncle Jiang, and I don't know much about it, but I can't help the eldest aunt more, but next year will be the 'spring', and there should be many people who passed the autumn examination last year who will enter Beijing. β
The eldest lady nodded and said kindly: "I'm tired of Qi Niang." β
"I don't dare to take this aunt seriously." Zhuo Zhaojie said humbly.
After a few polite words, the eldest lady took her leave.
When she left, Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly asked You's: "Why did the eldest aunt suddenly take a fancy to Uncle Jiang?" β
"He is just your aunt's cousin, and our family has turned two corners, this little uncle, now you can still call it, if you discuss marriage with your sixth sister, remember to change this title." You Shi said a sentence first, and then said, "Now even the king of Yanchang County has closed the 'door' to thank the guests and 'read' wholeheartedly, and Liuniang is an embarrassing 'girl' to raise, and it is difficult to choose a good one on the lintel of the 'door'. β
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't expect this medium to be made by You's family, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that Uncle Jiang is romantic in the end, and the eldest aunt is embarrassed to say that the second aunt said that there was a head surnamed Xu here in the north before, and he was invited by the hook fence on the Moling side, but this Uncle Jiang has been holding the scene and being the guest of the head of the line!" β
"It's not a big deal for Lang Jun's family to be amorous before marriage, eight or nine out of ten people are like this, if you even have to eat those people's vinegar, you won't be able to live this day." You said lightly, "Ning Shaobi is under the control of the eldest princess of Ji Yang, and the eldest princess of Ji Yang is nothing more than the Marquis of Yongcheng who is his only son, he can't be careful, and he is afraid that he will be taken badly, and he is afraid that he will lose his body, otherwise do you think he will be an exception?" At the beginning of the line, it sounds good, but it's just playing, and it doesn't enter the 'door', your sixth sister can see it better than you, these are all subsections. β
ββ¦β¦ Didn't the eldest aunt have been picking before, saying that it would be decided after the 'spring'? Zhuo Zhaojie asked suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly fall in love with Uncle Jiang?" β
You Shi glanced at her and said, "Do you think that Man Chang'an will 'worry' about your eldest aunt for Liuniang alone?" β
Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment, and You snorted, "Just talking about our family, Liuniang wants to discuss marriage, and Banniang is only one year younger than you, can you start to see each other?" And don't forget that your little aunt is a year older than you and the same age as Liuniangβit's time for her to say goodbye! In our Zhuo family alone, there are three little ladies to marry, this is still your marriage, otherwise it will be four little ladies! How many eunuchs are there in Chang'an? How many small jasper 'jade'? Who has a 'daughter' who doesn't look down on the world, and the scholars gather in Beijing, widening their eyes and brightening their moves, and choosing a wishful husband for their 'daughter'? β
"But is the little uncle of the Jiang family really good?" Zhuo Zhaojie said worriedly, "Just now my mother helped him speak, I thought that if this little uncle failed the sixth sister in the future, wouldn't my mother also be involved?" β
You said lightly: "Don't speculate about your sixth sister with your own preferences and vision, your sixth sister is a child who lives a solid life, unlike you, as long as Jiang Fufeng is also a person who is not to blame and is willing to live a good life, and then a little bit of talent, your sixth sister will be satisfied, as for how Jiang Fufeng was in the past, won't it be changed in the future?" Before getting married, Lang Jun's family was not restrained, and it was common to mess around, so you don't have to do it according to your calculations. β
Zhuo Zhaojie was trained one after another, a little annoyed, and said, "I'm also worried about the sixth sister." β
"You're worried about yourself." You Shi disagreed, and said, "When it comes to life, Liuniang is more reliable than you!" β
Zhuo Zhaojie said stupidly: "Forget me too much, I'm leaving." β
"Wait!" You Shi looked at her, "You went to Princess Changle's Mansion today, what is the little lady of the Su family looking for you for?" β
"It doesn't have much to do with our family." Zhuo Zhaojie told Su Yuyan what he said, and You was stunned when he heard it, and said in surprise: "This ...... Such a thing, did the eldest princess of Huarong actually 'hand' over to the younger generation say it all? In case the wind goes 'dew', how else will the three ladies of the Mu family behave? β
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "I was also surprised at first, although Su Niangzi didn't say it directly, but it was already very clear in her words, although we are cool and open, such a thing...... It's the princess's maiden family again, so it's not honorable to talk about it! But later Su Niangzi explained that she couldn't complain about her, because even if she hid it here, it would be difficult not to spread the news after two days - Mu Sanniang suddenly knelt down and cried when she entered the palace and begged the queen mother to be the master, at that time there were dozens of 'waiters' around, mother, you said that the queen mother ruled the palace strictly...... Two days late, where can I not leak the news? β
You Shi was dumbfounded and said, "This ...... This Mu San Lady is ...... her"
"The queen also invited a doctor!" Zhuo Zhaojie said embarrassedly, "So Su Niangzi also asked for 'sex' not to hide it from us." β
"Poor third lady." You sighed, Shi Caifeng is famous for his good 'sex' in Chang'an, and he has a history of molesting the people's 'women' and causing him to commit suicide and defend his cleanliness, now Mu Kong Cicada is like this, anyone will think that this is Shi Caifeng's sin, You is of course no exception, but Mu Kong Cicada is someone else's 'daughter' after all, You Shi sighed and became vigilant, and told Zhuo Zhaojie, "You go back and guard against that time five!" 'Privately', persuade Ning Shaobi again, and be estranged from Shi Wu! Such a person may not be able to remember any friendship! β
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't expect to say Mukong Cicada well, but he actually went around to himself again, pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "I know." β
You Shi said again: "Next month is your sister-in-law's birthday, this year she has suffered a lot for Zhuo Zhi'an's little thing, I think this time for her to be a little grander, but also to give you a chance to practice, this time it is up to you to '' for her, you first think about what you want to do." β
"Ah, what is it?" Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly.
"Nineteen." You said, "Although I said that I want to be grand, but firstly, she is not a full year, and secondly, she is also a junior, you can handle the proportions of this, you can handle it yourself, I only remind you of this, if you don't do it well, you will lose face but our entire four rooms, and I will definitely punish you heavily at that time, you know?" β
Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, I will do it after asking for advice." β
You was quite satisfied with the attitude of the 'girl', and said a few more gossips, and then let her go.
It was still early to celebrate He's birthday, but Mu Kongciao's matter was more urgent, after all, it was to the point of inviting a doctor, and no matter how much it was covered up for a few days at night, once the marriage was not decided before the city was full of wind and rain, the Mu family would be disgraced. The queen has always doted on the crown princess, of course, she doesn't want to see the princess's maiden family embarrassed, otherwise she wouldn't let Princess Changle take the road of the eldest princess of Huarong to urge marriage.
Zhuo Zhaojie had to post to Ning Yaobi the next day, but this time because he didn't need to send a letter, he no longer went to the 'door' in person, but asked Ning Yaobi to come to the Hou Mansion, Ning Shaobi naturally arrived quickly, and entered the hall in the name of visiting Zhuo Fangli, and after a perfunctory tea with Zhuo Fangli in Nianci Hall and Zhuo Fangli, he bluntly proposed to go to see Zhuo Zhaojie.
For this Langzi who "wholeheartedly treats the Yue family as his own flesh and blood", Zhuo Fangli and You secretly vomited blood several times, but they no longer expected anything, except for refusing to let Ning Shaobi go directly to Jinghong Tower to see Zhuo Zhaojie, and they turned a blind eye to the two of them talking about things in the garden and took care of their subordinates.
- What's more, with the example of Mu Kong Cicada, Zhuo Fangli and You Shi now feel that they are the same as Shi Caifeng, and Ning Shaobi is simply an out-and-out upright gentleman!
So Zhuo Fangli coughed a few times, under the pretext that he had left in advance, and left someone to remind Ning Shaobi that Zhuo Zhaojie was now reconciling the account, and he would come to him later.
