atypical prostitute

Chapter 33
It is unknown to outsiders which lady the eldest princess fell in love with.In the next few days, Hua Guogong's son visited the Lu family and the Jiang family one after another, and there was no new action after that.So everyone knew that they were royal in-laws after all, no matter how good the daughter of the Fu family was, she was born of a concubine, not as noble as a direct descendant.

Those who were jealous of the face of the Fu family were very proud at this time, and they said a lot of ugly things, and even brought out the old events of more than ten years ago. There are no rules for things, no wonder the eldest princess looks down on Fu's wife.

For a time, there was a lot of clamor.

The social circle of the noble ladies in the capital is neither small nor big, and these gossips quickly crossed the high walls and spread to Fuchun Residence and Sizhiyuan.

The old lady was naturally distressed.

It was the old lady's idea to take Yujing to the Peony Banquet, she just thought that Yujing was born better than the other lady, although her family background was a bit poor, but as long as she didn't hang herself on the same tree as the eldest son, she would have the face of a first-time lady By the way, maybe there is a woman at the banquet who takes a fancy to this daughter-in-law, doesn't she?Whoever wants to be born too beautiful is a burden, and dare not climb high in a low-level family, but the equivalent is not happy to be born.So neither awkward nor awkward, Yu Jing knew the truth, she didn't say a word, she only wept secretly.

The old lady knew very well that after this incident, it would be impossible to arrange a good marriage for Yujing in the capital within this year.But Yujing couldn't wait any longer, how could a woman from a rich family not make a decision at the age of 15? !If you spread the word out, you still don't know what nonsense the outside world is talking about.

But the depression lasted for a few days. After a while, a letter from home arrived, and the old lady cheered up again.

It was the old lady's natal family——Yueyang Fan's family invited her aunt to return to her hometown to preside over the renovation of the ancestral hall.

This letter brought a glimmer of hope to the desperate old lady.

She knew that the capital city is full of bitter people who look high but not low, and Yujing has a sensitive personality, and I am afraid that in the short term, only those people who follow the trend can choose.If you give in reluctantly, everything will go wrong in the future.But returning to Yueyang is different, Yueyang is the old lady's family after all, although it is not as lively as Beijing, it is also prosperous.

In the capital, Yu Jing was neither embarrassed nor awkward due to her status as a concubine.But her status as the Fu family's wife is in Yueyang, even ordinary officials and eunuchs can't ask for it.If Yu Jing marries into Yueyang Fan's family and gets closer, everything will go well after marriage.

The old lady made a decisive decision and proposed to bring Yujing and Li Ci back to Yueyang to visit relatives, and then explained the benefits of finding a marriage for Yujing in Yueyang.Fu Zhu has always been too lazy to pay attention to these schemes of the back house. Seeing that his mother no longer insisted on finding Yujing a wealthy family in the capital, and even wanted to bring Li Ci back to Fan Yang's natal family, he naturally felt good. Thick family-saving ceremony, loaded with a full five carriages.In addition to the food and clothing expenses of the old lady and her party on the road, there were eight carriages and dozens of servants when they went out.

Picking an auspicious day for traveling, the old lady and her party headed for Yueyang.

……

……

In ancient times, transportation was not well developed, and Yueyang was far away from the capital city. It took about ten days to travel by dry road to change water roads before arriving.

Yueyang has been prosperous since ancient times. After Du'an was designated as the fiefdom of Changsha King, the prince managed it well and became more and more prosperous.The Fan family is a well-known and prestigious family in Yueyang. Hearing that the aunt who married into the Fu family in Beidi was visiting relatives, those juniors lined up a line of hundreds of people beside the city gate, which made Yu Jing feel secretly happy.

Because the old lady had a very high seniority in the Fan family, the younger generations did not dare to neglect them. After kneeling down and saluting, they led the car into the city and went straight to the mansion specially vacated by the Fan family for their aunt.

It was already the end of May at this time, Yueyang was located in the south, the sun had already been scorching hot, and the two ladies were tired from driving and horses all the way, and they were sweating profusely.But as soon as I stepped into the mansion with shaded green trees and three entrances and three exits, I felt cool, and there was an ice basin every hundred steps!

The house with three entrances and three exits belongs to a tribe named Fan Yan.

Fan Yan is a prosperous offshoot of the Fan clan in Yueyang.I am a chief official in the Changsha Palace, and I have two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter married the eldest son of the Bai family of Marquis Wude.The second son is still unmarried, so he is tightly restrained on a daily basis and rarely goes in and out of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion.Right now, he is on duty in the Changsha palace with his father, and he is quite liked by the prince, and he must have a bright future.

This time, Fan Yan and his son were unable to come because the prince was on an urgent mission. The old lady was always proud, so it was inevitable that she would be dissatisfied.Fortunately, although Fan Fang was born in a merchant family, he behaved generously and decently, without the acrimony of merchants. After an explanation, and seeing the ice basin in the forest, he knew that Fan Yan really wanted to please his aunt, and his dissatisfaction disappeared. .

Seeing that the Fan family was so attentive, Yujing was even more delighted.

She was ridiculed for wanting to marry Liu's cousin, let alone Hua Guogong's family.After several times of troubles, my heart is cleared up, and I know that it is a fantasy for a concubine to marry into a wealthy family, so although I still think about the prosperity and wealth in the capital, I heard the old lady talk about Yueyang Fan's family and the capital. After the in-law relationship of many big families, there are also many expectations for the cousins ​​of the Fan family.

At that moment, a group of people passed through the hanging flower gate, and they arrived at the back flower hall.Yujing loves beauty, thinking about the sweat from before, she stopped and asked Ruoshui if her makeup was messed up.Ruoshui said with a smile: "The lady is naturally beautiful, and she just put on the ointment, her skin is as thin as tofu."

Li Ci was also shaking his fan at the side: "Second Lady has picturesque eyebrows and a smooth skin, so my younger sister doesn't know how to deal with herself."

Yu Jing liked it, but laughed and scolded, Li Ci accepted it with a smile.

As soon as they entered the flower hall, a gust of coolness rushed in, making the ladies almost shiver. After a closer look, they found that there were ice basins in all corners of the room, and strange things were placed on the windows. The organs together, when the honored guest enters, the maids pull together, more than a hundred fans blow up a cool breeze, and the clothes are blown up.

The old lady was too old to be afraid of the heat, and a gust of cool wind made her feel refreshed, and she couldn't help praising: "This is such a clever mechanism, I've never seen it before in Beijing."

Fan Fang explained with a smile: "Grandma, this is an object made by the staff of the Changsha Palace. It is called an exhaust fan, and it is only used by the Changsha Palace. But if my aunt likes it, I can let my Sanlang let the Palace Manufacturing Office make some. .”

"It's already a sin to talk about your house, how can you make you run around like this again?"

"It's a blessing for us juniors to serve my aunt."

While talking, Fan Fang helped the old lady to sit on the mahogany bed carved by Baker for Magu's birthday.

"This house was purchased last year. Just after it was renovated, my aunt came here with her two ladies. What a coincidence."

While speaking, he invited Yujing and Lici to sit on the Arhat bed on the left.

The two ladies saw that the maids on both sides of the Arhat's bed were playing fans, and there were ice crystal melons and fruits serving on the table, they couldn't help being flattered, and they refused to accept it.

At the end, it was the old lady who spoke and said, "Just accept Fan Yan's family's wishes." After this, the two sat cross-legged uncomfortably.

Then the old lady asked Fan Fangshi to sit opposite her, but Fan Fangshi kept saying that she was bad, and in the end she only agreed to sit opposite the two ladies.

At this time, the third lady of the Fan family also came to pay her respects after class.She was about the same age as Li Ci, her appearance was above average, and she was slightly round. She wore a goose yellow thin silk skirt. When she entered, she saluted the old lady of the Fu family and greeted the two ladies of the Fu family. Yujing and Li Ci hurriedly bowed. requite.After everyone sat down, she turned around and stood behind her mother with a very humble attitude.

"This lady was born with good fortune, and I like it when I see her." The old lady saw that the third lady of the Fan family was decent despite her young age, so she touched a gold and coral bracelet as a gift.

"It's just that I grew up in the countryside. I learned a little bit of rules, so I can't get on the stage."

Fan Fang quickly thanked the elder for the gift, feeling very panicked.

Seeing her humble words, the old lady naturally liked her, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Fan's family is modest. The eldest lady of the Fan family is a good granddaughter-in-law well known in the capital. Last month, Mrs. Wu Dehou celebrated her birthday, and she held a banquet by herself. The cooking is well organized, tsk tsk, I can't fault it at all. When I get older, I just want to choose a granddaughter-in-law like that for San Lang."

Fan Fang said hastily: "The Fu family is a wealthy family, and Fu Sanlang is going to inherit the title. How can there be no good match in the future?"

Seeing that the two ladies of the Fu family were born like jade people, he said: "The lady of the Fu family is really the same beauty as in the painting, no wonder even the Tian family is looking for a first-time lady. This time, the aunt brought the two ladies to live in Yueyang. It must be that the suitors stepped through the threshold, and it was unbearable to disturb."

Although the second wife of the Fu family has become a slow-selling item in the capital because of her inability to be high or low, the old lady felt comfortable hearing Fan Fang's praise, and immediately smiled and said, "Yujing is a filial child, and she will accompany my old lady wholeheartedly." My wife eats fast and recites Buddha's name, so I haven't talked about my husband's family until now."

Hearing this, Yu Jing immediately blushed and said in a low voice, "The old ancestor made fun of me again."

"Men's college should be married, and female college's should be married. It's the right thing to do. If you don't get married when you grow old, the younger sisters below will be anxious to wait."

"The old ancestor made fun of us again!" Li Ci and Yu Jing said in unison, Yu Jing was even more anxious and ashamed, and accidentally dropped the handkerchief.The third lady of the Fan family was sharp-eyed, she stepped forward to pick up the handkerchief, and said: "This handkerchief is really embroidered vividly, I have never seen such a good one in Yueyang City."

Because she embroidered it herself, Yu Jing said: "If my sister likes it, just take it."

So the third lady of the Fan family happily showed the handkerchief to Fan Fangshi, but Fan Fangshi knew the goods and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is from the capital, and the cost is not the same. The embroidery work of this handkerchief alone is worth thousands of gold." !"

"Ma'am, this... I embroider and play when I have nothing to do on weekdays." Yu Jing said coyly, and Fan Fangshi immediately showed a surprised expression, holding Yu Jing's hand and asking for warmth. Is it just because I am tired of embroidery on weekdays? Take good care of yourself, just leave the embroidery work to the people below, don't stay up all night doing embroidery work and make your eyes tired.

Yu Jing felt that she was amiable and comfortable, so she answered them one by one submissively.

Fan Fangshi saw that Yujing didn't have the arrogance of a high-class lady, and she was unusually born, and became more affectionate and friendly. He held her hand and kept talking, vaguely asking Fan Jiaerlang to ask the palace for a long leave to accompany the two of them. The meaning of the lady traveling in the mountains and rivers in Yueyang.

The old lady came here to find a suitable marriage for Yu Jing, seeing Fan Fang's love for Yu Jing, she was naturally full of comfort.

As a bystander, Li Ci was naturally sober. Ever since she heard that Fan Fang's flattering Yujing's embroidery was worth a thousand dollars, she felt that the Arhat bed was getting hot when she was sitting on it.

But if you think about it carefully, there are rules to follow.Aside from other things, just deliberately vacating the newly renovated mansion to the aunt and grandma who have never been in contact with each other, and entertaining them so graciously, the motive is not pure.

But although she could see that Fan Fangshi was hiding something, she was afraid that since she knew that the old lady brought the two ladies back to Yueyang, she had made up her mind to take Yujing as her daughter-in-law.Seeing that Yujing was very helpful to Fan Fangshi's gentleness without elder airs, Li Ci suddenly felt that since they both had the same meaning, why bother pointing it out?
I still don't know who is plotting whom today.

After making up his mind, Li Ci sat cross-legged on the breezy Arhat bed, eating melon and fruit snacks, gagging from time to time, doing his duty conscientiously, and never being cold.

In this way, the host and guest had a good time, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
