Chapter 375 Rumors

Yang Zhao's funeral became a thing of the past in Bianjing within a few days. What started to be discussed in the restaurant and tea room were the latest gossips, such as Princess Huayang's face and an essential oil called Zuixiang.

In early summer, the back garden of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is filled with flowers of all colors, including pavilions, bridges, flowing water, and rockery corners, making the back garden a beautiful sight.

Today is the birthday of Zhenyuan Hou’s wife. Because the Zhenyuan Hou Crown Prince was defeated and still waiting for punishment at home, there was no big deal this time. We just invited some relatives and friends and set up a few tables in the back garden.

In the waterside pavilion, Pan Yinzhi was entertaining the girls who came to visit. There were painting tables in the waterside pavilion for the girls to show off their talents and learn from each other. Some of the girls were writing poems and painting beside the painting tables, and some were sitting on top of the beauties and watching. No matter how fierce the beatings outside are, to these women in the boudoir, it is just some gossip that they hear occasionally. They are more interested in popular clothing, jewelry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The flower hall is a place for ladies to chat. The garden of Zhenyuan Houfu is very unique. The most pleasing thing is the flower hall by the lake. From the open door, you can see the scenery of lakes and mountains. However, the wives' thoughts are not on the scenery, but on the family's shortcomings in the east and west, and then they are looking for marriages for the younger members of the family.

When the Duke of Ji's wife came, there were already many people sitting in the flower hall. After meeting Mrs. Zhenyuan, she was pulled aside by the familiar Mrs. Weiyuanbo and sat in a corner.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Gao asked the uncle who was dragging her with some surprise.

"Have you heard about that thing?" Mrs. Bo looked around and said with a gossipy face, "Is it something that happened in Duke Wei's mansion?"

Mrs. Gao looked at Mrs. Bo speechlessly. Although no one outside knew about this, the relationship between Ji Guogong's family and Wei Guogong's family was so good that she knew something about it.

"Um, the Duke's wife is really with the servant?" Mrs. Bo just said something, and when she saw Mrs. Gao's eyes suddenly sharpened, she stopped talking, smiled twice, and then said: "I heard that the Chen family and the servant Is the Zhao family’s marriage dirty?”

"Yes, the Chen family is short-sighted. Although the Zhao family was defeated this time, Zhao Yinfeng was not the one who fought." Mrs. Gao took a sip from the tea bowl handed over by the maid and whispered: "I see. Then Zhao Yinfeng has a good future. Although he is a bit older, he should be twenty-three years old, right? But isn't it still the future that men look at? "

"Hey, it would be great if he came back with his life. Like Yang Zhao, wouldn't he have suffered a lot for his wife? Although he was granted the title of Lord Dingguo, he still doesn't have any children. I'm afraid there will be no success in the future. It's better." Mrs. Bo sighed.

Mrs. Gao's hand holding the teacup was startled. That woman, that woman probably wouldn't make her life too difficult, right? During this battle, the younger brother of the family also followed Zhao Mingliang. He injured an arm and came back. As soon as he came back, he went to his father-in-law's study and scolded Zhao Mingliang, saying that he would join Yang Zhao at Heishui Pass instead. As soon as he said this, the news of Yang Zhao's death came back in the afternoon.

"Su'e, Su'e!"

"Ah? What?" Mrs. Gao asked after being pushed twice by Mrs. Bo and regaining consciousness.

"What are you thinking about? I'm asking you, can you ask your master to ask if General He Lihe has a wife?" Mrs. Bo sighed and said, "You also know, my Aunt Qin He is not a worry-free person. He always talks about the third girl’s affairs. I didn’t know where I heard yesterday about General He’s affairs and insisted that I propose marriage.”

Mrs. Gao frowned slightly and said: "You can't suppress even an aunt? Then He Li has taken over Yang Zhao's position now and is favored by the second prince. How many people are staring at him? A concubine in your family wants to beat him Idea?" This generation of Uncle Weiyuan's title will be the last generation. Once the uncle dies, the whole family will immediately fall into decline. It's no wonder that the aunt made up her mind as soon as she heard about this newly awarded third-level military general.

Mrs. Wei Yuanbo's own daughter was already married, so she was just asking what her husband meant when she asked this question. When Mrs. Gao said it, she smiled and said, "I don't think it's appropriate either, then..."

Before Mrs. Bo finished speaking, she heard a commotion at the back of the flower hall. They both stood up to look. It turned out that Mrs. Zhenyuan, who was sitting at the head of the table, was gone. Only Mrs. Shizi greeted the guests with a white face, and kept saying: I'm sorry to say that my wife is suddenly unwell, so I can't accompany our guests.

This must have been something serious. The ladies in the flower hall were all gossiping, but they also understood that it would be inappropriate to question Yu Li at this time, so some people stood up and left.

"What did I say? Didn't you just use Zuixiang?" A lady in her twenties covered her mouth and said with a sweet smile.

Madam Prince's face suddenly turned pale, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Madam Gao recognized that the lady who spoke was the wife of the third ward of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. She had always been at odds with the eldest Marquis of Zhenyuan, but for saying something like this on such an occasion, she was kicked in the head by a donkey, right? The entire Pan family has been disgraced!

Zuixiang, first spread from Princess Huayang, is said to be a holy product of flirting, which can enhance the pleasure in bed to the extreme, but after using it, men are indispensable. Princess Huayang was found to have an affair with a guard some time ago, but she is a princess and single, and no one can say anything to her. But then it was revealed that Mrs. Wei Guogong was having an affair with a servant. Mrs. Wei Guogong was already in her forties. She has always been a model of dignity and virtuousness. When her husband told her about this incident, Mrs. Gao couldn't believe it. She didn't expect that this happened to Mrs. Zhenyuan.

Making an excuse, Mrs. Gao said goodbye directly to Mrs. Prince. She did not want to get involved in such a dirty thing.

Seeing that the noise was getting louder and louder at the back of the flower hall, and there were several ladies in the room who clearly wanted to watch the show, Mrs. Gao simply walked to the waterside pavilion to call her daughter. She sighed in her heart. At first, these people said that the head of the Ling family was the most energetic, but now she is I was caught on the scene, and I don’t know who is the vile one.

"Mother!" Before she even walked down the stairs, her ten-year-old daughter came over hurriedly, saw Mrs. Gao and threw herself into her arms.

"What's going on?" Her daughter's little face was full of tears, and Mrs. Gao suddenly felt heartbroken and asked.

"Mother, I..." Gao Ziqing held back her tears and couldn't say anything. She pulled her mother's sleeve and said, "Let's go back."

After taking a look at the embarrassed girls in the water pavilion, Mrs. Gao took her daughter away first and sat in her carriage before asking her daughter's maid to explain what happened.

It started from the chat between the girls. First, they said that a girl from the Ye family was betrothed to a son from the Wu family. The Ye family was originally a noble family like them, but the Wu family was a noble family. The two circles had nothing to do with each other. Intersection, such a marriage is naturally surprising, and then he said that the young master of the Wu family had been engaged several times in the past, but the engagement was canceled due to various reasons. The undecided Young Master of the Zhao family, many noble families have good relations with the Zhao family. Some of the girls have seen the handsome and strong Zhao Yinfeng. While joking, I don't know who said something boldly, Zhao Yinfeng again. Well, there is no eye on the battlefield. He is guarding the border. If he dies, he will be widowed at a young age like Mrs. Yang. Then Pan Yinzhi and several girls from the Xungui family began to talk about how Mrs. Yang should not Jie, now that I am a widow, I am afraid that men will be indispensable, and all kinds of unpleasant words will be said to her. Gao Ziqing heard her grandmother say something about Mrs. Yang, and she was very fond of Mrs. Yang. She also heard her grandfather and uncle express their respect for Yang Zhao. What they said became more and more uncomfortable. I couldn't help but say a few words. After all, your fathers and brothers were rescued by people from Heishui Pass in this battle. How could you ruin others like this? This stirred up a hornet's nest. Pan Yinzhi said in a very bitter tone that her little girl was in love with spring. He said that the Duke of Ji's government would probably go to please the upstarts in Heishui Pass, and maybe marry her to the newly promoted general. , all kinds of unpleasant sounds.

Although Gao Ziqing's maid was only thirteen years old, she was very articulate and explained the matter in such a crisp manner that she made Mrs. Gao fall down with anger.

Although the backyard will not care about the affairs of the men in front of them, the ladies of various families have to follow the men to some extent. In this battle, all the generals who led the new army were squatting at home waiting to be punished. Only the generals of Heishui Pass were rewarded, and My father-in-law and brother-in-law openly said that the use of troops this time was inappropriate. In the past, the Zhao family was the leader of the noble family, but now I am afraid there are cracks.

But if you bully your own daughter like this, you must take revenge no matter what! I used to cover for you, bah!

Madam Gao, who was in anger, began to walk around in various houses soon after. Unknowingly, the whole city gradually became aware of what happened in Zuixiang.

Yang Zhao's funeral became a thing of the past in Bianjing within a few days. What started to be discussed in the restaurant and tea room were the latest gossips, such as Princess Huayang's face and an essential oil called Zuixiang.
