Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 30 Ridicule

In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of April, the day when the Tang family invited guests. The Tang family gave birth to a concubine, and now it was rumored that the second prince born of the concubine would be named a prince. It was in the limelight, and people who wanted to follow the trend were indispensable. Tang

The family was also determined to create publicity, and the outside of the Tang family's house was packed with people early in the morning.

The Lin family arrived not too late. When they arrived, there was already a crowd of people outside the Tang family's house. The coachman got off the car and sent the invitations to the concierge. They saw dozens of carriages blocking the door. Lin Yuanzhi and Bi could only carry their children.

Sit in the carriage and wait in line.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a servant of the Tang family came to the carriage and led the carriage into the Tang Mansion from the southwest corner door. After getting off the carriage, the steward led Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Wenjing to the front yard, and there was another person.

The maid led Bi and Lin Zisu to the backyard.

Tang Jiaxiang was originally just an ordinary military general in the capital, with only a handful of money left in his family. It was not until his daughter was given the title of Zhuang Concubine that she gained the false title of deputy commander of the Imperial Guard through her status as a maternal relative.

After more than ten years of accumulation, I managed to accumulate some property and purchased this pretty good mansion. However, after all, my family's financial resources are too low, and due to the regulations of the court, this mansion is not comparable to the noble mansion.

, even compared with the Duke of Changguo, who is also a relative, it is shabby.

The maid led the mother and daughter to a courtyard in the backyard. This was the largest courtyard in the Tang family's backyard. There was also a small garden in the courtyard.

Entering the flower hall in the courtyard, there were already several female relatives sitting in the flower hall. Sitting in the main seat of the flower hall was a bright and charming young woman, chatting in a low voice with a lady below.

Lin Zisu followed her mother to see the ceremony. When she heard that the young woman was from Uncle Kang Ning's house, she immediately stood up with a smile on her face and said, "Oh, it turns out it's Mrs. Kang Ning and Miss Lin."

It’s a rare visitor to come here.”

This young woman is Tang Jiaxiang's wife, Han. She was originally the daughter of a merchant in the capital. After Tang Jiaxiang was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guard, he married this Han as his second wife.

There is nearly twenty years difference between the two. Tang Jiaxiang is now over fifty years old, but Mrs. Tang is only in her thirties, which is the age when she is in her prime, so she has attracted a lot of rumors.

Therefore, Mrs. Marquis of Chang'an would take her precious daughter with her wherever she went, always hoping that if her daughter fell in the eyes of some lady, she would have a good match.

Chen Yuqi doesn't have much thought about getting married, and she doesn't care about other people's opinions. Her mother likes to take her around, so that there is nothing to do. Walking around is not bad, just to make her mother feel at ease.

Everyone else present also heard the mystery behind Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou's words, and they all had sarcasm on their faces, and some of them laughed on the spot.

They had also heard many rumors about Lin Zisu. When they saw the real owner today, they all became curious and secretly pointed at Lin Zisu.

As she spoke, she stroked her forehead and said, "Misfortune comes from the mouth, and now you are in big trouble!"

At this time, he carefully looked at the little girl in front of him. He saw that Lin Zisu was only twelve or thirteen years old, but she had a calmness that was not seen in her peers. She liked her very much and said, "Let's not talk about these boring people. Let's go

Look at other places and make room for others."

Mrs. Tang patted her chest and made a relieved expression. She smiled and said to Mr. Bi, "Look at how old you are to be able to say such things."

"A few days ago, I heard from our Lord Marquis that Uncle Kang Ning was very knowledgeable and a good teacher and friend. I am a woman, and I have been in a deep house all day, so I don't know whether what he said is true or not. Today I met Miss Lin.

, only then did we know that what our master said was true. Looking at the bookish aura around Miss Lin, I guess she was taught by Uncle Kang Ning himself on weekdays." A woman couldn't help but say.

"Two girls are free of charge"

Lin Zisu and Chen Yuqi had both seen the second prince at Zhuangzi a few days ago, but they did not expect to meet Xie Yao on a narrow road here, so they had no choice but to move forward.

As a result, several young girls in the flower hall couldn't sit still and kept looking out the door. Mrs. Tang's eyes flickered and she called a maid next to her: "Go and invite the fourth and fifth ladies to come over."

After listening to Mrs. Tang's words, Lin Zisu lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was shy, but in her heart she was trying to figure out what she meant. Her fierce reputation had just spread throughout the capital, and it was impossible that Mrs. Tang had not heard of it.

At this time, in front of everyone, showing such closeness, I really don't know what kind of peace of mind I have.

As soon as the two sisters entered the flower hall, they heard their mother Han laugh and say: "It's really difficult for you little girls to accompany us here. If you feel bored, let me accompany you ladies to the garden to relax."

Just relax."

It seems that it is impossible for Chen Yuqi to get married in a short time.

Lin Zisu met Chen Yuqi several times in her previous life, but due to the bad relationship between Fang Luan and Chen Jinghui, they did not have much close friendship.

When they arrived just now, Mrs. Tang just said a few polite words and asked them to take a seat. At this time, Mrs. Tang's uncharacteristic enthusiasm for the Lin family's mother and daughter immediately attracted the attention of several other female family members.

When I came to the Tang family today, I was determined that Xie Yao would inherit the throne in the future. I just took this opportunity today to establish a good relationship with the new emperor's maternal family, so I arrived at the Tang family early.

There was silence in the flower hall, and everyone was surprised and confused.

The girls over there enjoyed the flowers for a while in the small garden, and then walked in twos and threes along the Jiuqu Bridge towards the pavilion. When they saw Chen Yuqi and Lin Zisu sitting side by side in the pavilion, they all avoided it for fear of being caught.

Chen Yuqi said: "Your Highness is pregnant. My father is suffering from an old problem in southern Xinjiang. He will be treated at home for a few days and he is almost cured."

After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the pavilion, and a female voice was heard: "Are you...the sister of the Lin family?"

Xie Yao nodded and said: "The Marquis of Chang'an has worked hard and guarded southern Xinjiang for more than ten years. I admire you very much. When your father recovers in a few days, I will visit you again at your residence."

She then said to Lin Zisu: "I like girls who are smart and smart. If you have free time in the future, how about you come and talk to me more often?"

Lin Zisu had interacted with Mrs. Tang several times in her previous life and had some understanding of her character.

The woman who spoke was the wife of Gao Chengwang, Marquis of Zhenyuan. The ancestor of the Gao family, Gao Lian, was the founding hero of Dayan. Since the founding of the country, he had been granted the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan. It has been hereditary and has been passed down to Gao Chengwang to this day.

Eleventh generation.

After the two of them straightened up, Xie Yao said to Chen Yuqi: "Miss Chen, I went to your residence to visit your father a few days ago. Unfortunately, his old injury recurred. Has he gotten better recently?"

Mrs. Tang tried her best to defend Lin Zisu. Although others did not know the whole story, they did not dare to say anything more. A few quick-thinking ladies immediately changed the topic and chatted with Mrs. Tang about trivial matters in their daily lives.

When they got closer, the two of them saluted Xie Yao and said, "I have met His Highness the Second Prince."

Mrs. Zhenyuan Marquis said it very well. She sounded like she was praising Lin Zisu, but she had a sarcastic look on her face and emphasized the word "bookish" very strongly. She was obviously using the rumors from the past few days to mock the Lin family for being from the countryside.

A tutor without a scholarly family background.

Tang Jiaxiang had two wives, four aunts, and many children.

Mr. Bi heard Mrs. Tang's praise and said with a smile: "My little girl is shameless and makes Madam laugh. Madam loves her. This is a blessing she could never ask for."

The fourth and fifth young ladies of Tang Dynasty were named Tang Qingyu and Tang Qinghong respectively, and they were both descended from the Han family. Tang Qingyu was already hairdresser, and Tang Qinghong was only twelve years old.

The previous time at Zhuangzi, although Chen Yuqi had a deep impression of Lin Zisu, she just felt that this girl could come up with several good little strategies, and she also had perfect archery skills.

Tang Qingyu and Tang Qinghong took their mother's instructions and led five or six girls out of the flower hall. Although Tang Qinghong was young, he learned a lot about Mrs. Tang's temperament. He led the way with a smile and kept talking to the entourage.

The girls introduced the scenery in the garden, but Tang Qingyu was a little impatient, and kept looking around with his eyes.

Lin Zisu understood instantly and laughed softly: "We are both savage beasts."

This girl is none other than Chen Yuqi, the fourth lady of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion. Normally, she disdains socializing with the ladies in the capital. However, as she gets older, she is not yet married at the age of eighteen, so the Chang'an Marquis and his wife naturally have difficulty sleeping and eating.

install.

When others saw her, they would actually walk around. This was the first time Lin Zisu encountered this situation in her two lives. She whispered in Chen Yuqi's ear and asked: "Aqi, are we really so scary?"

The two held hands and walked forward. After passing the pond, they found a bamboo forest. They walked deeper along the path in the bamboo forest.

"They are afraid that I will ruin their reputation." Chen Yuqi did not shy away from others hearing her. She laughed calmly and said, "They all regard me as a scourge. They are afraid that they will not be able to get married if they have a relationship with me."

Lin Zisu nodded with a smile and said, "Since Aqi said so, I would rather obey her orders than be respectful."

Chen Yuqi took Lin Zisu's hand and said with an angry smile: "The two of us can be regarded as friends who live and die together. Sister and sister are called weird. Let's do this. You call me Aqi, and I will call you Su.

Su got it."

Chen Yuqi curled her lips secretly and pulled Lin Zisu to stand by the roadside, making way for Xie Yao.

However, Mrs. Tang didn't seem to hear the unfinished meaning, and said with a sweet smile: "Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou is absolutely right. I heard from our fourth sister that Miss Lin made a wonderful painting at this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet.

The painting is vivid and lifelike, and it seems that... it has been praised by the Holy One?"

The other female relatives in the flower hall are all from the old nobles. Since Ruizong changed the military system, although these mansions have retained their transcendent status, most of them can only take a job in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and their status is not the same as that of the military governor.

The founding of the People's Republic of China was completely different.

Lin Zisu saw a group of girls standing in front of the rockery chatting, so she walked alone along the Jiuqu Bridge in the pond, walked to the pavilion in the middle of the pond, and just sat down against the railing, she saw a girl in a sky blue dress.

The girl also walked towards the pavilion. Lin Zisu didn't take it seriously and turned to look into the pond again.

Chen Yuqi was obviously not surprised by this situation, and she still chatted and laughed with Lin Zisu without any embarrassment.

Lin Zisu was not familiar with these girls and had no interest in visiting the garden, so she followed the girls at a distance after going out.

As soon as Mrs. Tang said these words, Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou's smiling face suddenly froze, and several women who were still whispering held their breaths. The emperor had praised Lin Zisu, so why did he mock Lin Zisu for his lack of education?

Doesn’t it mean that the emperor has no ability to recognize people?

Mrs. Tang saw everyone's solemn expressions and asked, "Ah! Did I remember it wrong? Oh, look at my memory!"

There was a hint of surprise in this voice, which sounded very familiar. Lin Zisu turned around and recognized the person in front of her. She was also overjoyed. She stood up and said, "Sister Chen, when did you come?"

As a result, Chen Yuqi received more criticism. The Marquis of Chang'an, Chen Jinghui, was in charge of the Shenshu Camp. His position was not high, but he had considerable power. No one dared to laugh at the Chen family in person, but no one dared to come to discuss marriage.

As the crowd turned around a rockery, what came into view was a pool of water. It was April, and the entire pond was covered with lotus leaves. A dozen red koi carp shuttled back and forth in the gaps between the lotus leaves, waiting.

With people feeding.

After walking a few steps, I saw a group of people coming from the opposite side. The person leading the way was tall and tall, wearing purple brocade clothes with clouds and dark patterns, and a white jade hair crown on his head. He was the second prince Xie Yao.

Lin Zisu didn't know what Mrs. Tang's purpose was, but after all, she helped him out of trouble. He stood up and said to Mrs. Tang with a smile: "That day at Shuhua Pavilion, it was really the great grace of the Holy Spirit and luck that made me get it.

Your Majesty’s kindness. To be honest with you, Madam, it was the first time I saw such a big scene. I was so frightened that my legs went weak, and I even felt a little awkward walking.”

While Mrs. Tang was chatting with Ms. Bi, she looked at Lin Zisu without any trace. She smiled and said to Ms. Bi: "My wife is really lovely. Look at this little face. My heart is broken by this meeting."

It’s about to melt.”

Seeing that Lin Zisu also recognized her, she smiled and said, "She is indeed my sister. I thought I had recognized the wrong person."

In this life, we experienced the harassment of rogue bandits together in Zhuangzi, and I had a good impression of Chen Yuqi. He invited Chen Yuqi to sit down with him and asked: "Sister Chen, I haven't seen my sister since the last time I said goodbye to Zhuangzi.

How about we go out of the city to relax some other day?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Yao had no intention of leaving, and said to Lin Zisu: "Miss Lin, I thought you were excellent in literary talent, but I didn't expect that you are both civil and military. Your archery skills are really amazing."

Are you trying to get close to yourself? Lin Zisu felt a chill in her heart and barely maintained a smile on her face, lowering her head and saying, "It's a small trick that makes His Highness laugh."

Xie Yao wanted to talk to Lin Zisu for a few more words, but he also knew that this was not the place to talk. He stared at Lin Zisu for a few seconds, smiled, shook his head and said, "Young lady is too self-effacing."

Looking at Xie Yao's leaving figure, Lin Zisu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard a high-pitched voice behind him saying loudly: "Lin Zisu, I have known for a long time that an uneducated country bumpkin like you is here.

I never expected that I could even use such a dirty trick, and I blocked here specifically to seduce His Highness the Second Prince. You didn't even look in the mirror. How could His Highness fall in love with you, a fierce dominatrix like you?
