“Let’s get together, Mrs. Duanmu.”
“Yes, yes, please, Mrs. Hou.”
Invited by Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Duanmu was at a loss. Seeing Mrs. Ji looking at her daughter from time to time, her heart moved slightly. There are two young masters in the Ji family. The eldest son, Ji Yushu, is very talented and was the number one scholar three years ago. Unfortunately, he encountered a gangster and injured his leg and foot, and he has been in ruins ever since. But at first glance, it is not as decadent as the rumors.
The other young master is very high-spirited. Although he is only looking for a small position in the army at the moment, no one can predict what will happen in the future.
It is very likely to inherit the title in the future.
Even if you don't like the second young master, if you are favored by the first young master, you will still have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. She does not hope that the son her daughter marries will bring honor to the family, she only wants her daughter to be happy.
She was worried when she thought that the old lady had mentioned something about the son of the Wu family a few days ago.
Jifu.
Ji Linfeng was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the yard looking for brochures, but there was no sign of them. Where did that boy An Yan drop the booklet?
“You won’t fall into Yihongyuan, will you?”
Ji Linfeng's heart trembled. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
No, I have to find it and get it back.
Ji Linfeng went out in a hurry and came back soon, groomed into a greasy-bearded man. While there was no one in the outer courtyard, he sneaked out.
Seeing the closed gate of Yihongyuan, it was messy in the wind.
“Why does Yihongyuan only open its doors at night to welcome guests? Is there no one visiting during the day?”
"You are stupid, girls need to rest too." A man passed by and heard Ji Linfeng's words and couldn't help but yell at him. After that, he gave him a sidelong look as if he had never seen it before.
Ji Linfeng didn't pay attention and said thoughtfully: "Actually, they can implement a two-shift system."
Someone nearby said in surprise: "Preaching prostitution in the daytime? I'll go, the young man has a future!"
Ji Linfeng:
Before entering Yihongyuan, Ji Linfeng grunted and prepared to go home. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Jun Fu who was out on the way.
In an instant, a clever idea came to mind.
Hurrying into the alley, not long after, a handsome young man came out.
“Brother Jun, what a coincidence, I meet you here, let’s go and treat you to a drink.” Ji Linfeng saw Jun Fu running towards a literary and ink shop, and ran over quickly to put his arm around him.
Jun Fu was stunned for a moment before he saw clearly that it was Ji Linfeng. "It's Brother Linfeng. Let's wait for another day. I'm busy buying."
"What are you buying? It's still early for Qiu Wei. Let's go and have some wine." Ji Linfeng pulled him towards Zuixiang Tower without any explanation.
Ji Linfeng ordered a table full of delicious dishes in order to entertain Jun Fu, his cousin.
After drinking for three rounds, he asked about his cousin in a circumstantial manner.
“Brother Jun, which house did you stay in when you came to Shengjing?”
“Duanmu Mansion, I call Mrs. Duanmu my aunt.” Jun Fu swallowed the braised pork in his mouth before answering Ji Linfeng’s words.
Ji Linfeng's eyes brightened slightly, then his future wife's surname would be Duanmu. It's just that there are several ladies in Duanmu's family, how can he know which one of them his future wife will be?
This is difficult for him.
“Brother Jun, to tell you the truth, I helped your cousin save her purse on New Year’s Eve, and she even said that she would come to the door in person to say thank you.” After saying that, Ji Linfeng pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head.
Secretly, he glanced at Jun Fu. He didn't know whether the Yumu boy could understand the meaning.
At that time, the Duanmu girl had clearly said that she wanted to visit in person. Wouldn't she have stopped coming after hearing his false refusal?
He was just talking politely at the time, and of course he didn't want to come to thank you. Maybe my daughter’s family is thin-skinned. How about asking your mother to directly invite a matchmaker to propose marriage? If you miss it, you will meet a jealous shrew next time and you will regret it!
"Really? It seems that Brother Lafeng has some connection with my cousin. Unfortunately, I haven't met my cousin yet. I can't talk."
Ji Linfeng:
His meal was in vain.
Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Duanmu went into the main hall to offer incense together, and Jihua was held by Xiuhe. Ji Yushu left unknown when.
It was an hour later when he reappeared.
Seeing his mother come out, he nodded to her without any trace. Mrs. Ji knew that she must have obtained useful information.
After the two families finished offering incense, they went to the back hall to have a simple meal and enjoy lotus flowers.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Ji found out that she was very fond of this daughter-in-law. She was very good in both manners and conversation. She must have cultivated her carefully.
Duanmuyi felt a little warm in his heart when he saw Mrs. Ji looking at her. A few steps behind, I heard Zhiqiu say excitedly: "Miss, the way I look at Mrs. Hou looking at you seems to be targeting my daughter-in-law."
“Nonsense, the beauty of Puliu and I will certainly catch the eye of Mrs. Buji.” Although she said this, she felt the same as Zhiqiu in her heart. But she was afraid that it would be in vain in the end, leaving herself some room.
Zhiqiu was even happier than Duanmuyi. He was already imagining the future for himself, with admiration on his face: "If the young lady can really marry into a high-ranking family in the Hou Mansion, I can serve as a maid to accompany her. It is said that the nursing staff in the Hou Mansion are all He is a hero who has followed the Marquis in the north and south."
Duanmuyi knew that she had worshiped heroes since she was a child, and also knew that she had a heroic dream in her life.
If he hadn't been sold into Duanmu Mansion from a poor family, he would have gone out into the world long ago.
The mountain behind Huguo Temple is a large bamboo forest, and two or three pairs of well-to-do ladies are walking in with their families. There is a pavilion for pilgrims to rest inside.
Not long after everyone sat down, Ji Hua saw the Prime Minister’s wife and Lu Qingyan, who was wearing a veil, walking towards them.
Lu Qingyan, mother, the crown princess is here. Let her come over and sit with us and find out if the Second Prince has caused her any discomfort during our absence. But there can be no rumors spread against her. 】
Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Duanmu raised their eyes at the same time and saw Mrs. Prime Minister and Lu Qingyan.
"Mrs. Lu." Mrs. Duanmu was still worried about whether to come forward to greet her, but Mrs. Ji raised her voice and stopped her.
"Qingyan, it's Mrs. Hou. Let's go over and let her see the rash on your face." The Prime Minister's wife was very happy to meet Mrs. Ji here.
Lu Qingyan was still hesitating, but her hand was already held by her mother, and she walked towards the pavilion without any explanation.
Mrs. Duanmu and Duanmu Yi greeted the two of them generously, and Duanmu Yi made way for Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Ji looked approving, but she was a discerning child.
Duanmuyi nodded to Lu Qingyan, who smiled back.
"Mrs. Hou, you happen to be here. Could you please help Qingyan see what's wrong with her face?" As soon as Mrs. Lu sat down, she couldn't wait to pull off the veil on Lu Qingyan's face and reveal it to the public.
“Mom, my face looks a little scary. I’m afraid I might disturb Madam Hou.” Lu Qingyan was too weak to take off her veil. She had been in this state for three days, during which time she had seen numerous doctors, including the royal doctor from the palace. But it just doesn't look good.
"You **** girl, how can you diagnose the cause of the disease if you don't pull off your veil and let Madam Hou take a look? Madam Hou is a miracle doctor now, so she must have a way." Madam Lu scolded her unhappily.
Mrs. Ji also smiled and said: "Yes, Miss Lu, you can pull it off and let me see what's going on, otherwise it will be difficult to draw a conclusion."
【What could it be? I was poisoned and unintentionally offended the heroine Lu Yiyi. He gave me a small lesson. It will naturally get better after seven days. 】
Ji Hua stretched herself out and tried to fall asleep again.
It is not unreasonable to feel sleepy in spring and exhausted in autumn. (End of chapter)
