Chapter 97: The mistresses whisper [Thank you for your support! Once more!]
The Empress stretched out an arm, revealing a fair hand under the exquisite embroidered robe, and pressed it against Zhao Fang's chest.
"Imperial son, is it right to return to Mother like this?"
Zhao Fang was stunned and turned to look at his father.
The Emperor looked at him with a smile, his long-bearded chin shook slightly, and he pointed at Xu Zaijing's direction with his chin.
Zhao Fang's eyes lit up, turned around and walked back a few steps, holding the golden feathered arrow with both hands, nodded slightly to Xu Zaijing, and then nodded slightly to all the youths who participated in the praise ceremony in the hall.
Then he held the feathered arrow of the final winner high.
"Thank you, all young talents for offering gifts!"
The Emperor raised his eyebrows, the Great Eunuch beside him tilted his head and looked, and hurriedly shouted: "Congratulations!!"
The nobles in the field bowed and saluted with tacit understanding, shouting in unison:
"Long live the Saint! Auspicious New Year!"
"Long live the Saint! Auspicious New Year!"
"Long live the Saint! Auspicious New Year!"
After shouting three times, the youths of each family shouted a few more times.
The Emperor smiled, waved his hand, stood up and took Zhao Fang's little hand, and the other hand reached out to the Empress, and the family of three walked toward the palace.
The Great Eunuch shouted again: "Return!!!"
Rong Fei also waved to her sister-in-law and followed.
The noble officials left the palace hall in an orderly manner.
For a time, the road out of the palace was full of pearls and treasures.
Everyone left the palace. This Spring Festival, whether ancient or modern, is tiring. Most people go home to make up for sleep, and there are also energetic youths who invite each other to play somewhere.
Xu Zaijing followed the crowd out of the palace. After a while, quite a few disciples from noble and official families in Bianjing gathered around him.
Noble disciples mostly invited Xu Zaijing to play at their homes, after all, they had received instructions from their mothers or sisters, and if they operated it, they might be able to set a marriage?
Xu Zaijing hurriedly arched his hands and said:
"Have things to do, have things to do, sorry..."
"Already have an appointment, sorry..."
"Have a chance, have a chance..."
"Next time for sure, next time for sure," and other words to prevaricate.
There were also a few families with good relations, such as the Zhang family, the Zheng family, etc., all invited Xu Zaijing to play polo at home.
At this time, Liang Liu Lang ran to the middle of the crowd and said:
"A few brothers, how about going directly to the building on the side of the Jinming Pool polo field at my house? There is a wrestling field inside, and indoor arrow targets, you can eat and play, and the warm walls are all burned hot! Jing Ge'er, my mother said, if I don't invite you, she will hang me up and beat me."
Xu Zaijing glanced at Madam Wu who was talking to his mother, and then looked at Liang Liu Lang and said with a smile: "Good, it's not good to go to someone's house, it's definitely no problem to go to your building."
"Good! Then I will definitely tell the other families, when the time comes, Jing Ge'er, you go, there will be no shortage of noble girls from other families. Maybe Feiyan sister from the Rong family will also go."
The youths around heard this and spoke out one after another:
"Is this true?"
"Feiyan girl? Hiss!"
"Liang Liu Lang, Liang Liu Lang, leave me a card!"
"Liang Liu Lang, leave me one too."
Hearing Liang Liu Lang's words, Gu Tingye, Zheng Xiao, and others laughed happily.
Rong Xian rubbed the corner of his mouth, looked at the crowd, snorted, and walked to his sister's side.
Qi Heng also joined in the fun and pulled Liang Liu Lang's sleeve.
Liang Liu Lang whispered: "Don't worry, Heng Ge'er, what kind of relationship do we have, I will definitely leave a good position for you."
Qi Heng's clear eyes were full of smiles, and then he looked at Xu Zaijing in the crowd with some admiration.
The youths said a few more words, and then burst into laughter.
The laughter seemed to affect the noble ladies who were whispering. They were glared at by their mothers who turned their heads, and the youths quieted down for a while.
After the youths quieted down, they saw a somewhat strange scene.
It turned out that the youths saw their mothers around them all head-to-head, the jewelry on their hairpins bumping together, still whispering gossip with one hand blocking.
Zheng Xiao also saw his sister-in-law, Zheng Da Madam, who came from a scholarly family, was upright, always spoke little, and was the most polite.
What made Zheng Xiao's chin drop was that Zheng Da Madam was also whispering to the wife of the Duke of England.
The wife of the Duke of England seemed to be emphasizing something, and Zheng Da Madam had an unbelievable look.
The wife of the Duke of England whispered a few more words, and Zheng Da Madam shook her head when she heard it, and said something.
Anmei wanted to eavesdrop beside Sun Shi and Madam Wu, but was pushed aside by her mother,
Then she saw the fifth young lady of the Zhang family following Zheng Da Madam. Seeing her wide-eyed, she must have heard some earth-shattering big gossip.
Anmei hurriedly walked over, bribed the cat at home to the fifth young lady, and after the two little girls bargained, the fifth young lady whispered in Anmei's ear: so and so, like this and like that.
Anmei also showed surprise.
The youths also looked at each other, and then scattered quickly to ask their own families, wanting to know what big gossip there was.
At the gate of Xuande Gate, many nobles said goodbye one after another.
There were also good noble ladies sharing a carriage to continue gossiping, such as Sun Shi and Madam Wu.
This gossip after the Great Morning Court spread among the civil and military officials at a very fast speed.
On the way, the two mistresses separated, Madam Wu got into her own carriage, and then waved her handkerchief, and the two mistresses said goodbye.
Xu Zaijing rode his horse and followed. His mother didn't let him enter the carriage, so this gossip probably had nothing to do with him.
Quyuan Street.
Marquis Yongyi Mansion.
Main hall of the mistress,
Returning home, Xu Zaijing looked at his elder brother and second brother, only to see them sitting beside Xie Shi, pricking up their ears, listening to Xie Shi saying something with an unbelievable look.
Seeing the mother-in-law and sister-in-law return, Xie Shi stood up and walked over excitedly: "Mother, this big gossip, do you know it?"
Sun Shi was full of desire to communicate and said: "Eldest son's wife, do you know it too?"
Then Xu Zaijing watched his mother, sister-in-law, and Anmei whispering there.
He was very curious and leaned beside his brother to listen.
The three Xu family women didn't pay attention to him, drank the tea offered by the maids, and continued to chatter.
Xu Zaijing listened carefully and realized that it had a lot to do with him.
It was the gossip of the Yuan family, the Earl of Diligence and Diligence! Or rather, a big joke!
It was heard by the three Xu family women from different channels.
It is said that some time ago, a woman didn't know why she found the gate of the Earl of Diligence and Diligence Mansion, grabbed someone and asked if their family had two brothers.
After getting an affirmative answer from the passersby, the woman knelt at the gate of the Yuan family.
It was the liveliest time before the New Year, and quite a few people gathered at the gate of the Yuan family.
The woman knelt, singing like a play and telling the people around her about her encounter: she was originally an ordinary woman, but she met a rascal in Bianjing, and it was the two young masters of the Yuan family who reached out to help her, saving her from fire and water.
She had no wealth at home and had nothing to repay, so she could only offer herself to the Yuan family to repay the kindness of saving her life.
The servant at the gate of the mansion also hurriedly entered the mansion to report this matter.
Madam Yuan in the mansion heard the servant's report, went out from the side door, and stood in the crowd listening to the neighbors' praise for the two sons of the Yuan family.
Madam Yuan quickly let this woman into the Yuan Mansion for such a good thing.
It happened that the wife of the Earl of Shoushan returned to her maiden home to see her brother, Earl Yuan Bingkai. She also pulled the wife of the Earl of Yongping to go with her to the Yuan family to discuss the things for the betrothal, and see if she could help add one or two.
As a result, she happened to bump into this scene of the woman in the main hall of the Yuan Mansion.
Below is the on-site retelling of the wife of the Earl of Yongping:
