Princess Anyang's Mansion.
"The young master met some princelings at the poetry meeting yesterday. They laughed at him for cheating. He was so angry that he smashed everything in the house when he came back..." the book boy replied tremblingly.
Princess Anyang rubbed her head with a headache:
"This abominable Chi Moyan... caused my son to be laughed at. Why hasn't the news come back to the people sent out to assassinate him?"
Zhou Gou took a step forward and said respectfully, "Chi Moyan is just a scholar who has no power to bind a chicken. It is easy to kill him. It just needs to be done cleanly and some careful arrangements are needed. Your Highness, please wait a little longer." day."
Princess Anyang has been in a bad mood recently.
Because of Dong Zefei's cheating, he was too busy taking care of himself that he had no time to deal with Jiang Rong.
"Wait a minute, can't we let him die quickly?" Princess Anyang lost her temper.
No one dared to say anything.
Zhou Gou changed the subject and said, "Now Fan Ziyi and Xun He are being laughed at as a pair of broken sleeves!"
"What?" Princess Anyang immediately became interested.
The troubles at home are certainly a headache. But if you look at other people's embarrassing things, you will feel more psychologically balanced.
Zhou Gou immediately told her about the article in "Qianqiu·Juanxi" that shocked many people.
"Interesting! How interesting! Fan Ziyi was so angry that he vomited blood?" For the first time, Princess Anyang felt that the Wanjuan Study House had done a good thing, and she gloated:
"Quickly, bring me the book and let me take a look..."
Zhou Gou looked embarrassed, "That's not necessary..."
"Take it as you are told! If you keep talking nonsense, go get the fifty pieces yourself!" Princess Anyang said impatiently.
Zhou Gou felt very regretful, but he could only submit "Qianqiu·Juanxi".
Princess Anyang skipped the first volume and frowned when she saw the first article in the second volume, "Only someone from the Northern Palace can write such an article praising Xie Lingxi, praising a dandy like a great hero..."
"By the way, Dong Xiqin has now promised Prince Duan to seduce Xie Lingxi. You must arrange it as soon as possible."
Zhou Gou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes..."
Princess Anyang flipped through the pages and saw the last part about Fan Ziyi and Xun He...
I was laughing so hard that I couldn't hold back the joy, I was so happy:
"Fan Ziyi must be very angry. Jiang Rong is really an idiot. For offending Fan Ziyi like this, it would be better if Fan Ziyi punishes her for me..."
She turned another page and the smile on her face instantly solidified.
Because the title of the next article is: "The son of the eldest princess pretended to be sick to avoid war, was he cheating in the imperial examination for fear of being exposed?"
"boom!"
Princess Anyang threw the book down angrily, "That's nonsense! It's all nonsense!"
Zhou Gou silently knelt aside and didn't dare to say anything. He thought to himself, "You said stop reading. You didn't listen to the advice at all."
It’s okay to pick other people’s jokes and listen to them, but you have to see your own jokes in person.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" Princess Anyang was incompetent and furious.
She didn't know if Fan Ziyi was angry to death, but she was almost angry to death...
……
Prince's Mansion.
Princess Fan left Fan Ziyi to talk alone.
"Brother, what mother means is that you should see your wife as soon as possible..." Fan's expression was complicated.
Fan Ziyi frowned, "I am dedicated to assisting the crown prince in ascending the throne and dealing with Prince Duan, so I have no time to care about the love affairs of my children. Let's wait until the situation is more stable."
"But now there are rumors in the capital that you and Xun He are... broken sleeves..." Fan stopped talking.
Fan Ziyi's face stiffened and he said coldly: "It's just a few rumors, why bother!"
A person who is pure will be pure himself. His heart is as indestructible as a rock, how can it be disturbed by a few rumors.
But when Fan Ziyi returns home...
He found that the beauties that the lower-level officials who fawned over him in the past had all been replaced by male shepherds this time...
Fan Ziyi:......
"Tell my mother a word and choose a wife immediately." Fan Ziyi gritted his teeth.
The defense is broken.
Who can bear this?
……
Another thing in the capital that people talk about as much as Fan Xunzhi's love is the Eight Major Brothel Oiran Competition.
With Jiang Rong's instructions and Wanjuan Study's collectors, they are closely following the news of the Oiran Competition.
Jiang Rong finished flipping through the latest pile of information.
Saw a name.
Yanyu Tower, Hua Lian.
Yanyu Tower is one of the eight major brothels in Beijing. The head of the brothel was redeemed by a high-ranking official a few months ago, and he temporarily bought a famous prostitute from Jiangnan.
This person's name is Hua Lian.
The person she was waiting for has arrived.
Jiang Rong said to Jade, "Ask Qiuniang to leave a post for Hua Lian, in the name of Wanjuan Study. Don't let anyone know that I want to see her. Including Hua Lian."
Jade was very surprised, why did the Crown Princess want to meet an oiran?
But she wouldn't ask any more questions and just took the order to make arrangements.
Qiuniang received the news from Jiang Rong and immediately wrote an invitation in person and sent it to Yanyu Tower.
"We will write a special article to introduce the courtesans of the eight major brothels. I wonder if the madam would be willing to let Miss Hua Lian talk to our book editor?" Qiuniang asked politely.
Of course the madam at Yanyulou was very happy.
Nowadays, "Qianqiu" is the most popular book in the capital, so it can help them promote it...
"That is our honor. I would also like to trouble the gentlemen in the study to give us a few kind words for Miss Hua Lian!" the old bustard said happily.
Qiuniang said, "Can we make an appointment at the teahouse on Qingshi Street tomorrow afternoon?"
"Of course!" the madam agreed hastily.
Qiuniang did not enter the brothel. She discussed it with the madam at the door and then left.
Before leaving, I happened to catch up with the girl Hua Lian taking the stage.
Qiuniang was also a little curious about her. Why did the Crown Princess care so much about an oiran? I couldn't help but take another look.
This girl Hua Lian is very tall and graceful.
Her eyebrows are delicate, like jade carvings, but she is as cold as ice, unsmiling, and has a temperament as cold as snow.
As soon as he took the stage, everyone cheered.
She sat in front of a guqin, plucked the strings, and the sound was gentle...
Qiuniang didn't understand it, but she thought it sounded particularly pleasant. But in this place of fireworks, how many people come to listen to music?
I'm afraid that such a good piano sound is wasted.
……
In the delicacies building.
Zhou Hongyang took Shen Wenyuan to drink, pouring out his bitterness:
"Brother Shen, my legs were broken twice by Xie Lingxi! But Fan Ziyi also warned us not to conflict with the Xie family! Can this young master just swallow his anger?"
Regarding Xun He, Fan Ziyi was asked to warn all the princelings.
Don't provoke Xie Lingxi.
Shen Wenyuan comforted him, "When His Highness the Crown Prince takes over in the future, he will be able to deal with the Xie family easily. Now, King Duan is eyeing this situation. If you and the Xie family have a conflict, someone else will benefit."
Taifu Shen has made it clear that he is neutral, but Shen Wenyuan is secretly close to the princelings.
"But... if you can't deal with Xie Lingxi, how can you not deal with a civilian girl?" Shen Wenyuan said with a smile:
"If it weren't for that civilian girl, how could you have provoked the North Prince's Mansion? Every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its owner. Brother Zhou, are you looking for the wrong person for your revenge?"
He has always been a bully.
Not daring to offend Xie Lingxi, he instigated Zhou Hongyang to bully ordinary people.
"Yes, why didn't I think of this? Thank you, Brother Shen, for the tip." Zhou Hongyang suddenly realized, and a ferocious look flashed in his eyes: "If it weren't for this little bitch, how could I have suffered so many crimes! That's right, You should go find her and collect some interest!”
