I sell morning tea in ancient times

The two chatted for a while, Tao Zhiyun saw that the old grandma's cup was almost empty, so she picked up the teapot to refill her tea.

The old grandma really liked Tao Zhiyun more and more, and asked with a smile: "Zhiyun, are you married?"

"Not yet."

"Is that an engagement?"

"Not engaged either."

The old lady was overjoyed, but she couldn't help but wondered: "Zhi Yun, you are also sixteen this year. According to your character and appearance, you should be asked by hundreds of families. How can you not be engaged?"

Tao Zhiyun smiled and said: "My parents originally wanted to see me this year, but unexpectedly something happened in the family, so they didn't have time to see each other."

It's not surprising that the old lady suddenly remembered Tao Zhiyun's identity, but she was very lucky.

She coughed lightly, and sighed: "I have a grandson, the eldest is not young, and he doesn't know how to marry a wife. In the past, he followed the war, and he went in the wind and rain. He was not at home every day, and I didn't want to delay other girls; now the world Stable, he is also an official in the capital, he leaves early and returns late, so he is considered stable, so I wanted to help him out, but he is lucky, buried in the pile of official documents every day, ignoring my express hints at all, really pissed off me."

"My son and daughter-in-law are gone, my well-behaved granddaughter is married, and he stays in the government office from morning to night. I am the only old woman left in the house. I am alone, and I have no one to talk to." He lowered his eyes, looking very sad.

"Grandma, don't be sad." Tao Zhiyun couldn't see the old man getting angry and sad the most, so she quickly comforted her: "Your grandson has his own blessings. Your grandson doesn't want to marry a wife, probably because the marriage hasn't come yet. As for looking for someone to talk to , I like you very much, if you don't mind, you can come to me, I am free at noon every day, I can chat with you slowly."

The old grandma smiled pleasantly and said, "Then I'll come to bother you often with a thick face." Great, I successfully sneaked into the interior of my future grandson-in-law, and I will show off to old man Zhao later.

"Grandma, you are too polite." Tao Zhiyun smiled.

Dingyuan General's Mansion.

During the great glory, General Dingyuan led thirty thousand soldiers to help the Zhao army, and later he fought bravely and made great contributions. Now he is a celebrity in front of the new emperor. The status has also risen with the tide.

Today, the wife of General Dingyuan held a banquet of flowers, and invited all the noble ladies and young ladies in the capital.Today, the garden of Dingyuan General's Mansion is full of flowers, and people are more beautiful than flowers.

Sichuan Qingyuan.

A woman with hair full of pearls and emeralds is softly persuading a young man sleeping on a recliner. "Xuan'er, you are old and young, and it's time to get married. Today's Hundred Flowers Banquet is just for you. Mother looked at it just now, ah, the ladies are more outstanding than each other, and the whole garden is lit up .”

The young man was about to be weak, and when he heard the words, he turned his body over, turned his back to General Dingyuan's wife, and said carelessly: "They are all vulgar and vulgar fans, there is nothing to look at."

The madam got angry, walked around in two or three steps, grabbed his collar and pulled it, shouting: "Ji Guangxuan! I told you to go and go and go! What are you talking about here?!"

Half of Ji Guangxuan's body was suspended in the air, his face was facing the bluestone slab, and he groaned in his throat, "My dear mother, I'll go, can't I go? You must take it easy, or I, the handsome Your face is going to hit the ground."

Madam snorted, threw him back on the reclining chair with a flick of her hand, glanced at his wrinkled collar, and said with disgust: "Hurry up and change this suit! It's sloppy, I don't know Follow who."

Ji Guangxuan didn't dare to speak out, he lowered his eyebrows and agreed, and obediently went back to his room to change his clothes.

Madam shook her wide sleeves a little unaccustomed, looked at Ji Guangxuan's cowardly back, and was very satisfied.Sure enough, all kindness and love are useless, to deal with this bastard, you have to use force!

in the garden.

Ji Siqin, dressed in a fiery red dress, is entertaining guests gracefully.

After talking with another lady, she raised her eyes and saw Shan Huiling and Qiu Xinxian.With a frown, she walked over directly.

"Miss Shan, Miss Qiu, it's been a long time since we left the capital. I don't know how you are doing, but what have you climbed?" Ji Siqin covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled.

Shan Qiu and the two knew that Ji Siqin was mocking them.

During the great prosperity, Ji Siqin, who was the most competitive, didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and competed with Tao Zhiyun everywhere, and fought with Tao Zhiyun, but was sued by the female officer next to Tao Zhiyun, and the entire general's mansion was directly demoted from Beijing.It is because of this that General Ji met the new emperor, and he had the insight to recognize the talents, so he immediately defected to the new emperor. In exchange for the glory of the general's mansion, he also got the toe of Ji Siqin now. High-spirited.

At the beginning, Shan Huiling and Qiu Xinxian devoted themselves to clinging to Tao Zhiyun, and in order to make Tao Zhiyun take a look at him, they went out of their way to make fun of him and made fun of Ji Siqin, which can be said to have offended Ji Siqin severely.

Now that Ji Siqin hasn't troubled them yet, they have the audacity to come to the Hundred Flowers Banquet held by Dingyuan General's Mansion, won't that provoke Ji Siqin to mock and sarcasm?

Shan Huiling had the most violent temper. He clenched his fists when he heard the words, but kept silent. He barely kept a smile on his face and said nothing.

Qiu Xinxian was kind and forbearing, with a smile still on her face, and said in a gentle voice: "Of course I don't have a good life like my sister. General Dingyuan is brave and good at fighting, and has made great achievements in battle, and is highly trusted by the emperor. My sister is also the only daughter of General Dingyuan's mansion. became a tall branch."

"It's a pity, you can't afford to cling to my tall branch. Don't even think about my brother's tall branch!" The smile on Ji Siqin's face disappeared, and he looked at them coldly, "Today's Hundred Flowers Feast What is it here for, everyone knows it well, just relying on you, you also want to be my sister-in-law?"

Shan Huiling and Qiu Xinxian didn't expect her to speak directly, and blushed immediately.

Shan Huiling became angry from embarrassment, stomped his feet and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ji Siqin didn't bother to pay attention to her inconsistency, and just said: "I heard that you went to trouble Tao Zhiyun a few days ago, but she pushed back with a few words, and then was tempted by the food she made, and finally left in embarrassment. ? Are you still secretly sending people to buy food from her every day?" She looked them up and down, and said with a sneer, "I really haven't seen the world, so it just makes people laugh."

"Okay, let's go in, even if I think about it, my brother won't fall in love with you. It's just that my cook is invited from Jiangnan, so don't make jokes about asking for more after eating."

Shan Huiling and Qiu Xinxian looked at each other in disbelief, but Ji Siqin just let them go with a few words of sarcasm?This is not in line with Ji Siqin's temperament that he must report his flaws.

Qiu Xinxian shook her head quietly, signaling Shan Huiling to be more careful in the future, and not to move things at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Seeing them entering, Ji Siqin showed a smile on his face, casually summoned his personal maid, gave a few instructions in a low voice, and then continued to entertain the guests.

General Dingyuan's wife slipped the reluctant Ji Guangxuan to a pavilion on the rockery, from which the whole garden could be seen.Although Ji Guangxuan was tired, he had practiced martial arts intermittently for several years under the oppression of General Dingyuan. His eyesight was excellent, and he could clearly see the faces of every girl in the garden.He glanced at it casually, then sighed, and leaned on the back of the chair hopelessly.

"I've invited all the young ladies in the capital, please take a good look at them. I don't believe it, you still can't pick one you like."

"Chun Xing, take a good look at the young master. If this bastard dares to sneak away in the middle, break his dog's leg!"

"Yes, ma'am!" A maidservant with big arms and round waist and shining eyes replied, the sound was like a gong, Ji Guangxuan's ears were buzzing.

General Dingyuan's wife nodded in satisfaction, gave the bastard a hard look, and then went to receive guests in the garden.

Seeing General Dingyuan's wife leave, Ji Guangxuan sat up straight suddenly, looked at Chun Xing bitterly, and carefully discussed, "Chun Xing, can you let me go?"

"no!"

"Then what if I sneak away?" Ji Guangxuan cautiously probed.

Chun Xing smiled ferociously, looked left and right, picked up a piece of wood as thick as Ji Guangxuan's waist, punched it, and the wood turned into two pieces, kicked it, and one piece of wood turned into two pieces again. Then, holding his throat, he replied in a gong-like voice: "Then I will break the young master's leg like this."

Ji Guangxuan leaned back on the chair with a face of pain, closed his tortured eyes, and lamented, "What crime have I committed!"

Chun Xing got the order, but Ji Guangxuan couldn't just lean on the chair and close his eyes in a daze.

She beckoned, and the servant brought a large pile of scrolls, which filled the entire table. "Master, these are the ladies from each family selected by Madam, Madam wants you to read all of these."

"Is it alright if I don't read it, young master?" Ji Guangxuan looked at the number of scrolls, and suddenly felt heartbroken.

"What do you think?" Chunxing will break off a small piece of wood, put it in his hand, grind it into powder again and again, and blow it away, and the wood powder will be blown away.

Martial arts is so powerful, isn't it?If this young master has practiced well, let's see what else you can use to oppress me!Ji Guangxuan cursed secretly in his heart.However, when he thought of the hard work of practicing martial arts, he couldn't help retreating.Forget it, good men don't fight with women, and this young master doesn't care about her as much.

Ji Guangxuan snorted heavily, and when Chun Xing looked over, he said timidly: "Just look at it, isn't it just a portrait? I'm still afraid that it won't work?"

He casually took one and unfolded it, and the woman on it smiled sweetly, with beautiful eyes looking forward.His eyes lit up immediately, "This lady is beautiful! There are such beauties in the capital? General Huwei's only daughter, Ji Xinyue?"

He shook his head, tasted it carefully, and then sighed: "The person is beautiful, and the name is also beautiful. Strange, why didn't I see her just now?"

He hurriedly observed the people in the garden carefully, but he never saw this beauty.He became more anxious, and hurriedly said: "Chun Xing, where is Miss Ji?"

Chun Xing took a look, and replied: "Master, next to the clump of light yellow winter jasmine flowers, the person wearing a pink dress is Miss Ji."

"The beauty is dressed in pink, standing beside the flowers, so beautiful, so wonderful." After he sighed, he quickly looked, "Chun Xing, did you mean something wrong? She is not Miss Ji!"

"Impossible, this servant has firmly remembered the appearance, name, temperament and family background of each young lady yesterday, there will be no mistakes." Chun Xing said confidently.

Ji Guangxuan took a look at the portrait, and then at the woman in pink, "Then why doesn't she look like the one in the portrait?" One is a peerless beauty, and the other is just pretty, with no resemblance at all.

Chun Xing said tactfully: "Young master, the painter has received the money, so naturally he will beautify it a little bit."

"Then the artist must have received a lot of money, and he can paint such unconscionable paintings. If you look at the portraits, I don't know how many people have been cheated." Ji Guangxuan said with righteous indignation.

He took out another portrait casually, unfolded it, and saw another peerless beauty, this time he was not excited.After Chun Xing pointed out where the lady was, he took a look, and sure enough, the painter had lost his conscience again.

This is true of all the paintings, and in the end, Ji Guangxuan has become numb. "Chun Xing, do you think this unscrupulous painter is the same person? This Hundred Flowers Banquet really made him feel soft when he took money."

Chun Xing smiled, clapped her hands, and hugged another bunch of portraits, "Young Master, there are more portraits here."

Ji Guangxuan showed pain, "Let me go!"
