Everyone laughed for a while.
It's true to say "catch the ducks on the shelves", but Lu Jinxi's "duck" is a bit unexpected.
But when she said it, there was a little bit of shocking complaint in her tone, which made people laugh.
Mrs. Dingguo's wife Da Ji, who was sitting directly opposite Lu Jinxi, had been looking at Lu Jinxi for a long time, and she couldn't hold back when she heard this.
"Where can we old ladies find new topics to talk about? It's just that we just mentioned Gu Da Gongzi. Everyone in this room is stupid, and it seems like they said the wrong thing to me!"
There is a faint hint of guns and sticks in the words.
Da Ji said, and swept around.
You ladies really can't wait to gag her mouth!
They are all at an age, so why is it so hard to find the owner of the house?
Lu Jinxi was outside just now, of course he heard that sentence, but now...
She only had a vaguely confused expression, as if she didn't know what they were talking about before.
People are in the house, but stay out of it.
Tang Shi's smile became slightly lighter: "The girls outside are all childish. They also join in the fun of what others are talking about. How can they know what they don't know about the sky? They don't need to know. As for Our eldest son, self-cleaning, there is nothing to criticize."
"You don't have to say good things about him."
It's not your son anyway, so why bother?
Mrs. Dingguo shook her head.
"He Gu Juefei is naturally a first-class and powerful person, and anyone who sees it feels good."
"But I watched with cold eyes. After so many years, the girl who liked him went to sea, but he was stinky and hard, and he refused to marry any of them."
"Just like Jiang Zhilan, the eldest young lady of the Jiang family in Jiangnan, what a good girl? They all threw their shyness for him and confessed with the sound of a piano. The result was good, he didn't stay half a step in Jinling, and went to Yangzhou in a blink of an eye."
"Madam, you and the old lady back then, didn't you break your tongue about this?"
"What was the result?"
"Jiguan didn't get a wife for nine years. If it wasn't for Gu Juefei, he would have become the laughing stock of the whole capital. Just such a stone in a ditch, it's also thanks to these girls, it's a shame!"
This is to say, it is actually more and more unbearable.
Lu Jinxi's eyelids jumped up, and he felt a little joy: Gu Juefei, in everyone's mouth, was a jade stage fairy, but when it came to Da Ji's mouth, it turned into a pit stone.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she felt in a trance that the eye knives were flying around the room, as if they were all heading towards Da Ji.
Chapter 31 Xie Taoling
Among the ladies of honor, there are not a few who have daughters.
Most of them admired Gu Juefei, and they could see that he had a promising future. If they could marry their daughter into the Gu family, they would be waiting for the official life to enjoy happiness.
Older, what does it matter?
Not to mention that he is younger than Gu Juefei, there are a few who look better than him!
So Da Ji's remarks were almost like scolding them.
People can't feel comfortable.
However, the status of the Da Ji family was placed there, with the support of the queen mother behind, no one dared to say anything.
Only Tang Shi, who was the host, had to speak up and defend her stepson, who was not close to her: "The matter of the girl from the Jiang family has nothing to do with the matchmaker ordered by her parents, and the eldest son doesn't like her even more. There's nothing wrong with this. As for not getting married for a long time, that's because the eldest son is interested in learning and doesn't want to be distracted by it. Isn't this a good candidate for high school?"
As for the next six years, there is really not much to say.
A man lives in seclusion on the snow-green roof of the Jokhang Temple, who can force him to marry?
Tang's words naturally make sense.
But she also knew about the internal situation: Mrs. Dingguo's evaluation was actually not correct at all.
Gu Juefei looked at the woman's eyes, so high in the sky!
It's not that he didn't pack a few beautiful maids, hope he will take it as a concubine, and it will be good to be a concubine after marrying a full-fledged wife.
But with the skills of those maids, none of them managed to climb the bed!
But he told them to spread paper and polish ink, be the red sleeves that add fragrance, and even tell them three or two poems and books, and they were fascinated by people, and they all wanted to be talented women!
It wasn't until Gu Juefei went up the mountain that Tang Shi realized that there was no hope for this.
Those maids with outstanding looks were eventually matched with some good people by her and married.
Because of this incident, Tang Shi had a period of time when he doubted how he saw beautiful women.
Now, she actually agrees with every sentence that Mrs. Dingguo said, but because of her identity, she cannot reveal it.
The secret things in these inner houses cannot be revealed to others.
Her eyes swept away, knowing that she couldn't linger on this topic, so she quickly said: "These things are all young people's affairs. The eldest son will come back sooner or later. At the age of twenty-nine, he still has to marry a wife. , I'll have to ask you all to help me look at each other and show mercy."
Mrs. Dingguo snorted coldly.
There is also a girl in her family. She is only fourteen this year. heard gossip from somewhere last night, and came to ask her about Gu Juefei.
Today, she was so angry when she heard the words of the officials outside.
Now that heard Tang shi talk about this matter in a fair and honest way, looked back and saw that everyone's expressions were floating, as if they were all thinking, and couldn't help but want to laugh for a while.
That's it.
Even scolding him a few words could not relieve his anger, so he went back today and taught his granddaughter a lesson.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Dingguo stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the room finally became harmonious.
Gu Juefei's topic, so far.
Everyone tacitly began to chat some other gossip, what about a big carp in Songjiang, the court negotiating peace, after a period of time, the envoy of the Huns will come, and the marriage of whose family and whose family is also set. ...
Lu Jinxi drank tea and ate some snacks on the plate, listening to gossip full of ears.
When it comes to topics she is curious about, she doesn't pretend to be a transparent person, and occasionally interjects a sentence or two, but she is very agreeable to a few Mrs. Yipin and Mrs. Guo.
When the banquet was held at noon, a few of them sat with her, and they were already close to each other.
Among them, there is Mrs. Tu, the British lady-in-law, that is, the mother-in-law of Mrs. Ye, the wife of the prince.
Because the two families were neighbors, Mr. Tu knew very well about Luo Dingfang and Xue Chi a while ago.
That day, the British father came back and asked how to deal with the matter. When he was resting in the evening, he gave her a good compliment to Lu Jinxi.
Where does Tu's not know?
This old guy just loves his own face, and Lu Jinxi has all his face, so he looks very high on others.
Now that met him here, Mrs Tu naturally spoke softly to Lu Jinxi.
Several people were seated together.
The colors that come up all have an auspicious name of the dish.
It's not all about the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. More dishes are made of ordinary ingredients to make a different taste, which is not extravagant and wasteful, and makes everyone feel fresh.
Even Lu Jinxi took two more chopsticks.
When tea was served after dinner, everyone praised Tang to the sky.
All matters are handled by the Tang family. Although she knows that there are a lot of compliments from everyone, her face also has brilliance.
She only said: "You guys like it, I just worry about the poor reception. Now that I have eaten and eaten tea, I have prepared a few small plays in the afternoon. After half an hour, they will be staged in the Shadow Bamboo House over the garden. We might as well go there first, take a walk on the road, and enjoy the garden."
The weather in the afternoon has turned a little warmer.
The gardens of the Taishi Mansion are naturally exquisite everywhere.
