Ning Yunzhao had already seen the girl on the roadside ahead.
Wearing a goose-yellow spring shirt and a white skirt, she stood as gorgeous as a spring flower among the crowd on the street.
It seemed like it was the first time I saw her wearing such bright colors.
Is this a new outfit that I put on specially?
He dared to come forward to help her, and she naturally dared to come forward to support him.
The smile on Ning Yunzhao's face grew stronger, and he gradually approached and nodded to the girl.
The noise in the street suddenly became louder.
Just like him, Miss Jun didn't pay attention to the noise, nor was she shy. She nodded with a smile.
"Mr. Ning!" Liu'er became even more enthusiastic, standing on tiptoes and waving, shouting along with the onlookers on the street.
Chen Qi also imitated Liu Er's example and shouted, looking like a nymphomaniac.
Fang Jinxiu wished she could turn her head back, it was so embarrassing.
What's wrong with her is why she should follow her.
Because of Miss Jun's reaction, the street became more lively, with laughter and shouts mixed with whistles rolling like waves.
Is this still the case where the Jinshi wear flowers and parade through the streets?
Does anyone take a look at these Jinshi scholars?
Does this girl have any family members to take care of her? Is it appropriate for them to flirt with each other like this in public?
More than four hundred Jinshi scholars looked resentful amidst the joy in the streets.
The man standing at the window of the street restaurant drank all the wine in his hand.
"Second brother, what do you want to say now?" Sifeng put her hand on his shoulder and said with sympathy.
Zhu Zan held the wine glass in his hand and looked down at the commotion on the street.
"Bah," he said.
"Okay!" Sifeng patted Zhu Zan on the shoulder and cheered loudly, "This is heart-wrenching. It is neither hypocritical nor pretentious. It does not admit defeat or bless. It shows the true temperament of a good man."
Zhu Zan turned his head and pouted at him again.
"Second brother, they are just engaged..." Zhang Baotang seemed to have made up his mind and said, "And I think Miss Jun is very good to you..."
Zhu Zan interrupted him with a laugh.
"What's that look in your eyes?" he said with a glare, pointing downstairs, "How could you tell that she is so unkind to me?"
The brothers in the room looked at him and then downstairs.
The Zhuangyuan Gong had already walked away, and people were swarming on the street. The girl was still standing on the street, looking seriously at the Jinshi team going away, and she was graceful among the crowds of people around her.
Not serious? Quite serious?
Zhu Zan turned the wine glass in his hand, looked at Miss Jun, followed her gaze to Ning Yunzhao, and shook his head.
"How pitiful." He tutted, "Another stupid boy has been trapped."
After saying that, he threw down the wine glass and strode back, picked up a bottle of wine, sat down cross-legged, and raised his head to drink.
"Come and have a drink." Sifeng also greeted everyone.
The brothers in the room responded in unison and drank noisily.
Zhang Baotang grabbed Sifeng.
"Who is the second brother calling me pitiful?" He whispered, "I don't think this is normal for the second brother."
Sifeng patted him on the shoulder.
"If it's not normal, then it's normal. You're still young and don't understand. This is normal." He said, "Walking around and drinking, drinking will relieve a thousand worries."
…………………………………………………….
Compared to the noise on the street, Lu's house was as quiet as ever.
But because it was close to the imperial city, the drumming and drumming could be faintly heard when the Jinshi were awarded their crowns.
Princess Jiuli stood on the corridor, looking in the direction of the imperial city with a smile.
"I once saw newly minted scholars parading through the streets," she said.
In the past, it was probably when I was still the princess.
The servants and girls standing in the corridor laughed and did not dare to answer.
"One of the Jinshi fainted with excitement, which made the celebrants very busy." Princess Jiuli said with a smile and looked at the girls and servants.
It seems that if you don't get a response, you will keep talking.
The maids and girls were a little nervous.
Princess Jiuli seems to have become different since she learned that you were going to take Miss Jun as your concubine and broke up with you on bad terms.
He talks more than before, and even asks for news from outside.
This is the scariest thing. Princess Jiuli never asked about outside affairs before.
She wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to answer.
"Who is the top pick this time?" Princess Jiuli said.
Sure enough, he started asking again.
"Princess, we don't know." A maid raised her head and said with a smile, "We didn't go out either, and you haven't come back in the past few days."
Princess Jiuli smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
There was a bustle outside the courtyard gate.
"Your Excellency is back." The servant girl came to report.
By the time he finished speaking, Lu Yunqi had already walked in, and the servants and girls were busy saluting her. Princess Jiuli stood in the corridor without smiling or moving, watching Lu Yunqi approach.
"What's wrong with your face?" she said suddenly.
An adult’s face?
The maids and girls couldn't help but look up and saw Lu Yunqi, who was approaching, with a few bruises on his face and a slight redness and swelling at the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been beaten.
Ever since Lu Yunqi became a member of the Hundred Households, no one has dared to hit him, let alone nowadays, there are naturally many people who want to hit him, but not many can.
This was the first time they saw Lu Yunqi like this, and the servants and girls looked panicked.
Lu Yunqi didn't answer and walked straight into the house.
Obviously not wanting to answer this question, the servants looked at Princess Jiuli hurriedly, waiting for her instructions to get medicine or something.
"Did you get beaten?" Princess Jiuli asked again, without mentioning getting medicine.
The servant girls looked a little nervous.
Princess Jiuli is still alive.
"Is it because of Miss Jun that she was beaten?" she asked.
The servants, women and girls were so frightened that they lowered their heads.
It seems that Princess Jiuli and Mr. Lu are really going to have a fight this time.
It's not like there has never been trouble when a princess refuses to let her husband take a concubine, but with the status of Princess Jiuli and the status of Lu Qianhu, if there is a trouble, I'm afraid it will be Princess Jiuli who will have a hard time.
However, it is understandable that you can keep as many women as you want outside. This time, Mr. Lu wants to take this woman as a concubine. A concubine is different from an outside concubine.
Moreover, this Miss Jun is not an ordinary person, she has a great reputation. After coming in, Princess Jiuli will also retreat.
That’s why Princess Jiuli must make trouble with the adults.
Lu Yunqi paused.
"Yes." He said and walked inside.
Princess Jiuli was surprised by the answer, or rather...surprised.
"Really?" she said, laughing, and followed up by asking, "What's going on? Did Miss Jun hit me?"
The maids and servants did not dare to follow him, they all shrank their heads and gritted their teeth and dispersed in a hurry.
"It was Zhu Zan who beat him."
In the room, Lu Yunqi was not furious, but still looked calm, and he answered Princess Jiuli's question simply and neatly.
Probably because she hasn't interacted with the outside world for too long, Princess Jiuli felt that this name was a bit unfamiliar.
"Zhu Zan." She thought for a moment before saying, "He is the eldest son of Duke Cheng Guo."
He said and smiled again.
"He also knows this Miss Jun? Does he like this Miss Jun?"
In front of a man who wants to take this woman as his concubine, asking other men if they like this woman is not a nice thing to say.
"I don't know." Lu Yunqi said, looking at Princess Jiuli.
Princess Jiuli smiled.
"Although Miss Jun's background is slightly lower, Duke Cheng Guo is an informal person and should not care about this." She continued to ask, seemingly not feeling that the topic was inappropriate, "Is this Miss Jun...
Can I marry the eldest son of Duke Chengguo?"
"No." Lu Yunqi said, "Because Ning often said that Miss Jun is his fiancée."
Ning Chang?
Princess Jiuli was slightly startled, she heard a lot of names today.
"Who is this?" she asked.
"The new champion, Beiliu Ning, Ning Yan's nephew." Lu Yunqi said.
Princess Jiuli smiled and looked up outside.
"She turns out to be the fiancée of the top scholar in the new department." She said with a bit of sigh and joy, "Then if you pass the exam first and then pass the junior college, Miss Jun can get married to the number one scholar."
"No." Lu Yunqi still said simply and neatly.
