Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 148 Going to the Su family for a banquet, the side concubine looks at each other (3)
Ji Chonglian thought for a while, and then said: "Grandmother, she has her own considerations, and second sister, don't worry too much."

Mrs. Ji didn't tell her the result of this matter, but since she already knew it, she would definitely take it to heart, and all they could do was wait patiently.

There was no result, Ji Haitang dropped his shoulders in disappointment, and after a long while, he said quietly: "No matter how anxious others are, I am not as anxious as I am, and please ask Fifth Sister not to go back to Su's house, this time we will go to the Su family." Come back, maybe if you know more people, you will have another way."

When Ji Haitang said this, he clenched his fists, and his whole body trembled faintly, but his gaze was fixed on Ji Chonglian.

Ji Chonglian sighed, thought for a while, and finally nodded.

Forget it, it's rare for Ji Haitang to be persistent this time. No matter what Concubine Su's idea is, it's good to get to know more people and relax. Maybe it's a chance to fall in love with a girl.

It's not the first time for Ji Chonglian to visit Su's house, but this time the feeling is particularly shocking, perhaps because of Su's side concubine's family, the layout of the mansion has changed a little, the original small bridge and flowing water are still there, just the pavilions and pavilions for decoration After a while, it looks more magnificent.

The poetry club was set up on the Fuqu waterside pavilion, surrounded by ice basins, which reduced the heat of summer, leaving a hint of coolness.

Seeing Ji Chonglian and Ji Haitang coming, Su Xiaowan greeted them with a smile, and gave Ji Chonglian a playful look, "I thought you wouldn't come, I know you can't avoid such an occasion!"

"Sister Su is getting more and more tricky when she is married!"

Ji Chonglian gave Su Xiaowan a look with a smile, took her hand, and said in a low voice: "Why did you invite so many girls here today? Even you, a married aunt, are invited back to your mother's house to help. , why?"

Su Xiaowan hesitated for a while, then glanced at Ji Haitang again, Ji Haitang turned around pretending not to care, but in fact her ears had already been pricked up, listening quietly.

"Originally, I shouldn't have told you about this, but you are so smart, you must have seen the clue from the post."

Su Xiaowan said softly, and whispered in Ji Chonglian's ear again, "My aunt came back to Danyang this time to show the eldest son a marriage."

"But the prince of Minyi County?"

Ji Chonglian frowned, glanced at Ji Haitang's back, saw that she was unmoved, and asked again: "Your son has not married a concubine yet?"

"Married is married."

Su Xiaowan sighed with one hand, spread her hands together and said: "However, the concubine Shizi has not conceived for three years, and the family is anxious, so they want to take a concubine. It just so happens that my aunt came home to visit her relatives, so I asked her to take care of her."

Another concubine!

Ji Chonglian couldn't help frowning. Women are not machines for giving birth. If they can't give birth, they blame women. Maybe it's the man who has a problem. It's not a matter of one person having a child.

"With a family like King Minyi, even if you are a concubine, someone will catch up with you!"

Ji Chonglian's tone was cold, and she was not enthusiastic about it.

Su Xiaowan also heard it, and couldn't help laughing: "Of course people like us won't rush there, but it's not certain that there are some who are dazzled by the family status of the county prince's mansion."

"We'll arrange a corner spot for us later. You know I'm not good at poetry, so I won't be in front of ugly people."

When Ji Chonglian said this, Su Xiaowan felt sorry for her, and she repeatedly assured her, and hurried to greet other girls.

Regardless of whether Ji Haitang heard what Su Xiaowan said, Ji Chonglian just didn't know, and pulled her to sit in the corner.

"Fifth Sister, what did Sister Su say to you? It's so mysterious."

Ji Haitang took a silk handkerchief and covered her lips with a chuckle, but her eyes were flickering around.

"It's nothing, just a casual chat."

Ji Chonglian shook her head with a smile, took Ji Haitang's hand again, and said softly: "Second sister, you should only go out this time to relax your mind, and don't take it too seriously, the old lady will make decisions for you .”

Ji Chonglian reminded her again and again, she just didn't want Ji Haitang to go astray, and hoped that the second sister could listen to her words.

Ji Haitang lowered her gaze, and a wry smile appeared on the corners of her lips. If Mrs. Ji hadn't made the decision for her, wouldn't she also be able to avoid the fate of being a concubine?
Who wants to be a concubine when they can be the main wife?That is also the only way out.

It is also a concubine, maybe it would be better to be a concubine for the prince.

She heard some conversations between Su Xiaowan and Ji Chonglian intermittently. The imperial concubine has no children for three years, this is an opportunity, if she can give birth to a son, then her position will be stable.

Shi Rou arrived a little later, and after greeting them, she sat down with Ji Yueqing, the two girls were as nice as one person.

Ji Chonglian couldn't help but twitched her lips when she saw it. It would be a kind of happiness if she could live as carefree as they did!

"Fifth sister, do you know who the sixth girl in my family married?"

After a while, Ji Haitang asked softly.

Ji Chonglian was startled, and after thinking about it in her mind, she remembered who Ji Haitang said about the six girls in her family. The girl who was like a weak wind blowing willows was called Ji Yueshang, who seemed to be the same size as Ji Haitang, but she was married. It was given to the county magistrate Pengze as a continuation, but the county is already in his forties.

This matter was brought up by Shi Rou inadvertently. Even she said that when she thought of the Pengze county magistrate, she felt extremely disgusting like swallowing a fly. Fortunately, Ji Yueshang's parents were willing to make this marriage, so it should be right. It's a concubine's daughter, who would be willing to do it if it's the daughter of a direct relative?
"I heard that she married the county magistrate Pengze."

Ji Chonglian said hesitantly, but her eyes turned to Ji Haitang, what did she mean by mentioning Ji Yueshang at this moment?
"Ha ha……"

Ji Haitang laughed inexplicably, then bowed his head and said nothing.

After a while, the girls from all the families were all seated, and only then did Concubine Su arrive late. She was wearing a dark red lacquered gold narrow-sleeved rolling cloud gown, and a brocade skirt sprinkled with gold was tied around her waist. , E'e cloud bun, skin better than snow, slender eyebrows and slightly curved, that smile reveals a dignified and quiet.

Sure enough, he came out of the Prince's Mansion of Minyi County, and his demeanor was different from ordinary people's.

Ji Chonglian sat in the corner and looked at the side concubine Su. She was probably around thirty years old, but she was well maintained. She looked no more than twenty-five, with the charming appearance of a mature young woman.

After the poetry meeting started, Su Xiaowan actually acted like an emcee of ceremonies, writing, arranging, and selecting topics, and finally presented them to Concubine Su to appreciate them one by one, picking out the best among them and giving rewards.

Ji Chonglian felt bored, so she decided not to participate, so she wanted to go out for a walk, but Ji Haitang was unwilling to leave, saying that she wanted to appreciate other girls' masterpieces, Ji Chonglian was noncommittal, found a little maid to lead the way, and turned around and left the water pavilion.
