In the most prosperous Wangyue Tower in the capital, Liu Yunying chose a place by the window and drank tea and snacks with the general's wife and the old lady.
"This snack is good. The third prince gave it to my young master. Yunying ate a few pieces and has been thinking about the taste. Finally, she got what she wanted."
"This roasted squab is really a masterpiece. His Highness the Crown Prince brought several of them to the little princess a few days ago. The little princess took them all to the queen's house and left not a single piece for Yun Ying."
"Thanks to the old lady, Yunying will eat to her heart's content today."
Liu Yunying broke off half of the roasted pigeon and ate it, and said freely and freely: "When Yunying returns to the palace, I will talk about roasted pigeon in front of my mistress every day, and I will make her angry, hahaha!"
Mrs. Li originally thought that Liu Yunying would be able to curb her ruffianism by joining the palace as an errand.
Although the General's Mansion adopted her, because she grew up in the border area, she didn't look like a girl and she liked to fight with Linhuai the most.
After working as a servant for the tenth princess for so long, he still looks like this?
Mrs. Li said helplessly: "When Linhuai asked you to enter the palace to protect the tenth princess, you tried to shirk it. For this reason, you even had a fight with Linhuai, and you had to go to the palace after losing."
"At that time, you were unwilling to serve the princess in every possible way. You worked as a servant in the palace for several months. Now you open your mouth to talk about the little princess and shut up about the little princess. Do you still think she is your master?"
Mrs. Li joked: "A monkey like you will be subdued one day. This will mean that the monkey cannot climb the Tathagata's Five Finger Mountain."
After Mrs. Li said this, she looked at the old lady and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pursed their lips and smiled.
Liu Yunying didn't care about the jokes made by the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Her eyes lit up when she heard Mrs. Li's words: "Madam, you also read the story book of Journey to the West?"
"You don't want me and the old lady to join the trend?"
Mrs. Li sipped her tea and smiled fondly: "The book of Journey to the West was recommended by Princess Yuzhen. It was also placed in the temple to be distributed to believers who offered incense. The old lady and I couldn't help it. Turning the pages of the book, you can always come to Wangyue Tower to drink tea and listen to books to relieve your boredom."
It was precisely because their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often came to listen to books to relieve their boredom that they heard someone in the teahouse talking about the Qushui Drinking Banquet, saying that the person who caught the disheveled Lord of Ji'an County was not an eunuch, but the fourth son of their family, Lin. Huai.
Rumors are stronger than tigers!
If this matter continues to spread, Linhuai will have no choice but to marry the head of Ji'an County.
Only then did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law think about negotiating a good marriage for Li Linhuai and put an end to all the twists and turns in Prince Ning's residence.
Thinking of these things, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were upset. Fortunately, Liu Yunying returned home and accompanied them to get some air and relieve their boredom.
The smile on Mrs. Li's face faded a bit, and Liu Yunying guessed that she was still doing it because of Li Linhuai, so she winked at Mrs. Li mysteriously.
"Madam, the old lady is waiting. After listening to what Mr. Storyteller said today, there will be no need to worry about keeping the notebook!"
In Journey to the West, the storyteller at Wangyue Tower talks about three dozen white-bone spirits. They are not the Monkey King who can subdue demons. They can knock the troublemaking white-bone spirit to death in Prince Ning's Mansion with a stick.
Can you not be worried?
Mrs. Li and the old ladies in the mansion did not comment, and only took Liu Yunying's words to comfort them.
At the same time, in the private room of Wangyue Tower, the Lord of Ji'an County was condescending and looked at their table through the window.
"The maid next to the little bitch is indeed from the general's palace."
Ji An snorted coldly: "Let our people work harder to spread the news that Li Linhuai bumped into the county master's disheveled clothes in Wangyue Tower."
"If Li Linhuai insists on getting involved in the matter between me and the little bitch, it will make life difficult for me, the county owner, and the general's mansion will also be in trouble."
The Lord of Ji'an County said coldly: "There is a hereditary prince who abuses this County Lord? I, the County Lord, would like to see how the reputation of the General's Mansion was ruined."
The grandma who was following her hurriedly agreed: "Yes, I must have taken care of the matter!"
"Then go down, the storytelling is about to begin."
The Lord of Ji'an County smiled proudly: "This County Lord is just mixed in the crowd. Let's listen to how these people who follow the trend arrange the general's mansion. Let's see if the two obedient mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who love to seek the limelight have any shame. Stay in a crowded place like Wangyue Tower."
"General Zuo Yulin is very proud in front of the emperor's uncle. The reputation of this county master has been ruined. It is not a loss to marry into the general's palace and become the wife of the county princess!"
"No worse than the idiot Sister Mu picked..."
The nun of Prince Ning's Mansion chose an inconspicuous place in the corner for the Lord of Ji'an County. The Lord of Ji'an heard someone in the crowd talking about the banquet at the meandering water table in the palace.
She raised the corners of her lips proudly and looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion, whose face turned from white to green not far away.
The storytellers on the stage just put on a posture, and around the table where Mrs. Li and the old lady were sitting, they were all talking while knocking melon seeds.
"Have you heard that the Fourth Young Master of General Li's Palace is planning to marry the Chief of Ji'an County of Prince Ning's Palace."
"About the Qushui River Banquet, I heard that the Lord of Ji'an County was almost raped by an eunuch. The General's Mansion is also a powerful family. General Zuo Yulin is a popular man in front of the Emperor. How could he let the fourth son of the Mansion marry a The county owner whose reputation has been tarnished?"
"Nonsense, all eunuchs have no roots, how can they abuse the county master?"
"I heard that the fourth son of the Li family was working as an errand in the palace. He bumped into the Lord of Ji'an County while he was changing his clothes. He was so exposed that he was not allowed to marry him back home?"
"It is true that the reputation of the county owner of Prince Ning's Mansion has been damaged, but the fourth son of the Li Mansion must also bear the responsibility. Wait, these two families will have to discuss marriage sooner or later, otherwise the Li Mansion will not be able to hold its head high among the powerful people in the capital!"
"..."
Mrs. Li loves her fourth grandson the most, and her face is almost blue with anger!
She looked at Liu Yunying: "Is this what you girl said about having nothing to worry about?"
Liu Yunying didn't answer the question and pointed at the storyteller on the stage: "Listen, old lady, the storyteller has begun!"
The head of Ji'an County felt that everything was under her control, and she was indeed worthy of her effort in building momentum at Wangyue Tower. She had previously gained a bad reputation at the Qingshui River Drinking Banquet in the palace, and through the rumors she secretly spread in the teahouse.
Not only has the wind changed, but if Li Linhuai doesn't marry her, he will be irresponsible.
When the Lord of Ji'an County was proud, the guests who heard Mr. Shu said a few words suddenly felt something was wrong.
"No, isn't this about Journey to the West three times against the Bone Demon?"
"Last time, I kept my appetite in check. I want to hear a boneless spirit turn into a beauty!"
"What are you talking about?"
Everyone protested, and the storyteller calmly said: "Everyone, please be patient. Instead of talking about Journey to the West, for a change, we will talk about the privacy of the back houses of wealthy families, and the invisible scenery under the high walls. Is it possible? Don’t you want to take a look?”
Is the back house of a wealthy family private?
Which one?
