The general's wife is sick

At the end of the palace banquet, all three heavyweight fighters withdrew.

After everyone saluted, Ji Zhanpeng drank alone for a while, and after the other children in the mansion began to whisper in small circles, he got up and straightened his clothes before slowly approaching Ji Liu.

"Liu'er, I'll take you to Zhan Qing's place in a while. You see, since you came in, this kid's small eyes have been fixed on you."

Ji Zhanpeng was talking with a very proud expression on his face. His twin brothers had outstanding literary talents and excellent looks. It really made him look good to be with him.

"Brother Zhan?"

Following Ji Zhanpeng's gaze, Ji Liu looked down. Zhan Qing's father's official position was under Ji Chengyue's. At this time, their family was sitting far away from Ji's house.

Meeting Ji Liu's gaze, Zhan Qing quickly turned his head away.

The annual meeting is still the most comfortable without a leader, and the people in the hall tend to gather in twos and threes.

Ji Liu raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Can you walk on your own now?"

"Yes." As he answered, Ji Zhanpeng sat patiently next to Ji Liu until most of the people started to move around, and then he got up, "Go, Liu Er, I'll take you there."

As soon as the two left their seats, Yan Yong, the young master of the Earl's Mansion of Ziyang, stopped them.

Yan Yong is the most progressive person in the Earl of Ziyang's residence. As the eldest son, instead of being a playboy, he is strict with himself, lenient towards others, and knowledgeable. He has a good reputation in the capital.

Today, Yan Yong's clothes happened to be the same color as Ji Liu's. For some unknown purpose, the eldest young master stepped forward to talk to Ji Liu, "Ji Er Shao, Liu Shuang Shao, long time no see."

Ji Liu looked up, and before Ji Zhanpeng spoke, he blinked and asked, "Who are you?"

For a moment, Yan Yong's expression was a little stiff, and Ji Zhanpeng was quite embarrassed by Ji Liu's sudden rudeness.

But in fact, although he has a good relationship with Yan Bao, Ji Liu, the young master of Yan Yong, has indeed never met him, but even if he has never seen him, now that Yan Yong has taken the initiative to greet and befriend the two, most people will betray him A face, but Ji Liu obviously didn't intend to give him this face.

Yan Yong's expression returned to normal after a moment, and he smiled indifferently, "It's no wonder Liu Shuangshao doesn't know me, but I am Yan Bao's biological elder brother, Yan Yong. I heard that Liu Shuangshao takes good care of my brother, so I'm here to grateful."

Ji Liu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and had to praise the Countess Ziyang's wife for her excellent educational skills, he said, "Young Master Yan, you are too polite."

"Baodi really has a good eye. Liu Shuangshao is both talented and beautiful. Now that I see it, the rumors are true."

"Young Master Yan is too polite."

"Di Baodi is soft-tempered and not in good health. I hope Liu Shuangshao will accompany him more in the future."

"Young Master Yan is too polite."

"..."

Ji Zhanpeng's face became even more embarrassed. He always thought that he was a good warm-up player, but in the face of a sudden cold scene, he didn't know how to continue this situation.

Ji Liu's face was written brightly, "Ben Shuang Shao doesn't want to talk to you!" These eight characters!

Yan Yong's complexion began to show a tendency to collapse.

Ji Zhanpeng dared to swear that in the land under the emperor's feet, Ji Liu should be the first person to disrespect him so much.

It's just that he didn't understand that Yan Bao of the Earl of Ziyang's mansion was indeed Liu'er's friend, and that everyone in the Earl of Ziyang's mansion loved Yan Bao well. Why did Ji Liu disrespect Yan Yong so much today?

"Young Master Yan, please accompany me. I hope Liu'er will forgive me for not being polite when she first entered the capital." Ji Zhanpeng pulled Ji Liu away from the scene.

"Liu'er, you are really..." Before finishing a sentence, Zhan Qing walked over from a group of friends, "Zhan Peng, Liu Shuangshao."

"Brother Zhan." Ji Liu saluted, and the egret spread its wings to fly.

Zhan Qing couldn't hide his admiration, "Brother Liu is really dazzling today."

"Forget that you can talk." Ji Zhanpeng groaned happily but didn't want others to see it, and he concealed it complacently.

Zhan Qing's gaze drifted aside from time to time, and Ji Zhanpeng glared at him, "Can you be promising!"

When Ji Liu heard Ji Zhanpeng's words, his eyes naturally turned to Zhan Qing, "What's wrong?"

"It's worthless, and I still miss it very much even though I was rejected to propose a marriage at home!"

Following Zhan Qing's gaze, Ji Liu saw the woman sitting alone at the palace banquet.

That was Hong Yan, the first daughter of Hong Guogong. They had met at Princess Guangyang's mansion. During that time, Mrs. Hong had always wanted Ji Liu to compare poems and paintings with her.

This Miss Hong is usually known as a talented woman, and she has a very high posture on weekdays. Usually, Mrs. Hong takes the lead. She follows behind only because her parents like to show off. A lady from a famous family who had to come forward and talk to others.

Today Mrs. Hong was gathered with other wives, but she was alone. Presumably, she was used to being upright in normal times, and she relied on her talent to offend people everywhere. Now she was alone at the palace banquet.

Ji Zhanpeng couldn't understand this Ms. Hong very much. He was very down-to-earth. This kind of noble and talented woman was not on the same level as him, and did not conspire with each other, so when he learned that his good brother's marriage proposal was rejected, he still thought about it. She, his inexplicable old father's mentality - he can't argue with it!

"I really treat the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

Zhan Qing and Ji Zhanpeng looked at him together, "Good poetry!"

Ji Liu paused, he had always wanted to find another way to escape the old-fashioned event of the party competition, but he didn't expect to be on guard all night, and it would fall into his own hands.

Seeing someone's eyes shining in this direction, Ji Liu twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.

Seeing that the development of the situation may exceed expectations, Ji Liu tried his best to think whether it was a bit of a bad luck for him to pretend to be sick at the palace banquet, and his goal has not been achieved, so it is not his style to leave the stage like this.

While he was thinking wildly, a voice saved him.

"Brother Ji!"

"Zhu Ruiwen?" Hearing a familiar voice, Ji Zhanpeng looked him around from head to toe.

This Zhu Ruiwen is a new friend Ji Zhanpeng met when he was giving lectures at the Confucianism, but...why does this person look so familiar today?

A few days ago when the Great Confucianism came to Beijing to give lectures, all the students in the capital gathered together. As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. So he was a little more presumptuous, Ji Zhanpeng is a bold person, loves to make friends, so he goes too far for him.

Seeing him again at the palace banquet today, Ji Zhanpeng was a little surprised. He has been hiding his face on weekdays, and he only recognized him through his voice just now.

"Don't be rude!" The entourage immediately interrupted Ji Zhanpeng, "This is the eldest prince, His Royal Highness King Rui!"

Ji Zhanpeng was a little dumbfounded, Zhu Ruiwen is the eldest prince?

Really dizzy!

No wonder he just looked at this person so familiar!

"Zhan Peng needn't be surprised. Zhu Ruiwen is just a pseudonym of my king. Great Confucian scholars don't admire officialdom and are not afraid of high-ranking officials. Listening to students under a pseudonym is just the last resort of my king's desire to study."

The eldest prince's name is Nie Xudong, born of the empress, the eldest son of Zheng'er Bajing'er, who was named King Rui the year before last, and was the first among the three princes to be named king.

"See His Royal Highness King Rui."

The three of them saluted, and Nie Xu's Shudong smiled and shouted, "Don't be polite to me. I heard that Zhan Peng was lively but knowledgeable about current affairs, and he was extremely righteous and worthy of friendship. Today is Palace banquet, everyone can do whatever they want."

Hearing King Rui's praise with his own ears, Ji Zhanpeng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied, "Your Highness is absurd."

Seeing Nie Xudong's eyes linger on Ji Liu, Ji Zhanpeng immediately introduced seriously, "Your Highness, this is my twin brother, Ji Liu."

"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Zhengli is really a blessing. Presumably with this beautiful woman by his side, he will recover soon."

Ji Liu raised his head, with a smile in his black eyes, after all, His Royal Highness King Rui is Xiong Zhengli's cousin, "His Royal Highness praises you."

Nie Xudong nodded, and then chatted with Ji Zhanpeng. At the palace banquet, everyone looked sideways, even Ji Chengyue paid close attention.

His Royal Highness Rui Wang, who attracted everyone's attention, seemed to be just chatting with Ji Zhanpeng, and turned around after a few gossiping words.

If it is normal for Yan Yong from the Earl's Mansion of Ziyang to talk to Ji Zhanpeng, then His Highness King Rui just sprinkled glitter powder on Ji Zhanpeng and Ji Liu.

Afterwards, the sons and daughters of officials who did not know each other came to say hello one after another.

Originally, Ji Liu planned to take advantage of Princess Guangyang's influence to advertise the new clothes of "Xianyi Pavilion", but now seeing the unexpected development of the situation, Ji Liu chose to follow the plan and push the boat along.

The men who came to chat were all represented by Ji Zhanpeng, who was making wallpaper.

Shuang'er and the woman were up to him. No matter what the other party's topic was, he had a way to turn everyone's topic to clothes and jewelry.

Therefore, Ji Liu's clothes, which are novel in style and extremely prominent in figure and temperament, became the center of everyone's topic. Court" shop in the custom-made.

Ji Qingyun sat awkwardly at the table and drank. With King Rui's blessing, Zhan Peng and Ji Liu were already the focus of everyone's attention. At this time, he would inevitably give people an indecent idea of ​​sticking it up, but Ji Qingyun There are three children in the family, and they have never attracted the attention of the court in the past, but now the limelight has been robbed by two younger brothers, he feels a little disgusted.

There is another person who is also uncomfortable, and that is Xiong Jinghai.

Looking at the smiling people surrounded by the crowd, Xiong Jinghai's jealousy surged, the wine in his glass frequently bottomed out, and his eyes glared.

He wanted to take Ji Liu away now and lock him up so that no one else could see him, so that when he went out, he would either smile at this person or seduce that person who asked for his care.

The palace banquet ended at the beginning of Haishi.

Since the New Year’s Eve was closed until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all the officials’ faces were filled with relaxed smiles, and their conversations were also full of joy before the holiday. The atmosphere of the entire palace banquet was extremely relaxed and happy.

Returning home from the palace, the red lanterns were swaying on the carriage, Ji Liu closed his eyes and rested in the carriage.

Although it is a rare New Year's Eve, when thinking of Xiong Jinghai going to quell the chaos after the New Year's Eve, Ji Liu's heart can't be calm. Thinking about it carefully, medicinal materials, clothing, follow-up soybean seeds, industrial development, the information in his mind is chaotic And to.

When the carriage stopped, Ji Liu opened his eyes and got out of the carriage with the help of Cheng.

Ji's family was watching the new year in the main hall, and Ji Chengyue was in a good mood. Before the hot tea was served, he began to ask how Ji Zhanpeng became friends with His Highness King Rui.

Ji Zhanpeng smiled innocently, and told the truth.

Ji Chengyue was full of praise, and Jia Caixia also echoed it. King Rui is the only prince among the three princes who can be crowned king, and he is also the eldest son of the empress. He has a gentle personality and a humble personality. He has the highest possibility of inheriting the throne in the future.

Ji Zhanpeng can make friends with him, and the future is limitless. The slightest relationship involved in this relationship is magnified a little bit in the hearts of the husband and wife, and it becomes a shining star in the sky.

In response to the festive atmosphere of the New Year, Ji Mansion seems to have stepped into the new year ahead of schedule.

Ji Liu picked a large plump nut from the blue and white carved plate placed on the low table beside him, and when he chewed it, he raised his eyes to glance at Ji Qingyun's face.

The age difference between the two brothers is only one year. Ji Qingyun has been the most valued child in Ji's mansion since he was a child, but now he is watching helplessly as his parents put all their attention on Ji Zhanpeng.

Ji Qingyun's expression was ugly.

Due to the special day of the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, Ji's family had a tradition of watching the year, so Ji Qingyun also echoed it a few times, until Steward Cao entered the hall to report that the time was coming soon, and the house was about to set off fireworks.

Only then did the five people stop talking and laughing, and came to the courtyard one after another, wrapped in sable fur, on a cold winter day, clusters of fireworks burst out from the small paper tubes, lighting up the night, becoming the most dazzling existence.

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers from other mansions could be heard next to my ears, and Ji Liu took the lead to salute, "I wish my father and mother a healthy and prosperous New Year, and I wish my elder brother and my second brother success in their studies, and be named on the gold list."

Ji Chengyue was in an extremely happy mood, and he smiled directly, "Liu'er must be well-behaved and obedient in the new year, knowledgeable and polite!"

Jia Caixia ordered someone to send a red envelope, "Liu'er is going to get married this year, I hope you are all well."

Ji Liu nodded and said yes, his marriage was scheduled for the beginning of summer, and he specially reminded himself that she could really make things difficult for him.

When the fireworks were shining, Ji Qingyun said, "Thank you Liu'er, I wish Liu'er will accumulate stinginess and become a strong wind in the new year; accumulate small currents and flow into rivers and seas."

Before waiting for Ji Liu to thank him, Ji Zhanpeng continued, "I wish Liu'er happy every day in the new year, doing everything according to her heart, peace and joy!"

"Thank you big brother, second brother."

The atmosphere of fireworks permeates the entire capital, and the new year is here!
