The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Zhao Zhili is not a fool either, he thought about it and understood something.

So he glanced lazily at Shao Gui, and then asked Ji Heng, "Who is your brother-in-law?"

Although Zhao Zhili is not a child of the royal family, but in the case that the only child of the royal family in Beijing is the emperor, he is the most noble among all the noble sons in the capital.

The nephew of the Empress Dowager Zhao, the emperor's companion, the son of Marquis Dingguo, and the only son of Marquis Dingguo, Marquis Dingguo is Zhao's patriarch, and in the future he can still be the patriarch of the Zhao family. expensive.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhili has not yet grown into a full-fledged dude who is a flying eagle and running dog. The children of the rich and powerful families in Beijing, who met Zhao Zhili, although it cannot be said that they all give him three points, but in front of him, they are indeed all. It is to see his eyes.

Although Zhang Xu had his arrogance, when Zhao Zhili asked about him, he didn't ask Ji Heng to introduce him, so he hurried forward, saluted Zhao Zhili, and said, "His Royal Highness, it's Xiao Ke."

Zhao Zhili looked at Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu is considered a good-looking talent, and he is also considered a young talent. He would not feel embarrassed to be looked at by him, but Zhao Zhili's casual gaze was too picky, which still made him feel hesitant and a little bit dissatisfied. , but these cannot be shown.

Zhao Zhili looked at Ji Heng and said, "How many older sisters do you have?"

Ji Heng replied, "One died early, and there are three left. Brother-in-law Zhang is my eldest brother-in-law."

Zhao Zhili nodded and said, "What does your sister look like?"

Ji Heng's complexion turned dark, and he said, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Zhili said, "Before marrying the princess, I took a concubine first, so what will they do to me?"

Ji Heng's complexion was even uglier, and several people present showed expressions of surprise, but everyone probably knew that Zhao Zhili had a bad temper, so they didn't speak.

After Zhao Zhili said this, he glanced at Shao Gui coldly, as if he was deliberately telling Shao Gui.

Ji Heng was dissatisfied with Zhao Zhili talking about his sister. As the man in the family, he felt that it was his duty to protect the reputation of the women in the family, so he said, "This is your business, Mr. Zhao, and I have nothing to do with it. However, although my sister is a concubine, she is not willing to be a concubine. Even if you have a noble status, Mr. Zhao, not everyone wants to cling to you."

After finishing speaking, she turned around angrily and was about to leave, and said to Zhang Xu, "Brother-in-law, I'm afraid I'm going to spoil your interest today, I think, I'm going back."

Looking at Xu Qilang again, Xu Qilang quickly followed him.

Zhao Zhili was blocked by Ji Heng, and his face was ugly. He stood up and said to Ji Heng, "Even if you want to cling to me, it depends on whether I am in a good mood."

Ji Heng glanced at him and said coldly, "It's up to you."

Then he said to Xu Qilang, "Cousin, let's go."

Several other people wanted to come out to smooth things over, but Ji Heng, who had always made people feel a little shy just now, suddenly gave off a very powerful feeling, and Zhao Zhili was a bully, everyone really didn't know what to say.

Zhao Zhili didn't need them to tell him, he took a few strides forward and grabbed Ji Heng. Ji Heng was staggered by him. He was a head shorter than Zhao Zhili, so it was very uncomfortable to be pulled by him. He turned back and stared at him fiercely, "what are you doing, let go."

Zhao Zhili said, "Didn't you come here specifically to find me, why do you want to leave after I say a few words?"

Ji Heng said coldly, "Who will come to you specifically, a person who plays truant and hangs around in kilns, you think I will come to you specifically."

Zhao Zhili dragged Ji Heng to pull him into the next compartment. Xu Qilang would not let Ji Heng be bullied, so he wanted to snatch Ji Heng from Zhao Zhili, "Let Brother Heng go."

Zhao Zhili glanced at Xu Qilang coldly, "What are you, get out of here."

Ji Heng hadn't fought Zhao Zhili head-on yet, but at this moment he raised his hand and slapped Zhao Zhili. Zhao Zhili was unprepared, and the slap stunned him. The sound of the slap shocked everyone in the pavilion one time.

Zhao Zhili looked at Ji Heng in disbelief, "You are so good, you always disobey me like this."

Ji Heng said, "My lord, what do you mean by disobedience, can you let me use this word?"

Zhao Zhili remained silent with a sullen face. Xu Qilang was hurt by Zhao Zhili's words just now. Although he is indeed not as noble as Zhao Zhili, he is definitely not someone who can be despised at will.

Ji Heng's protection of him moved him and made him feel useless.

After Zhao Zhili was silent for a moment, he released Ji Heng. He stood there in a daze, his eyes gradually darkened, and then he said suddenly, "Junqing, come here, I have something to say to you."

The situation changed too quickly, Ji Heng's adaptability was strong, but the others had no idea that Zhao Zhili's temper was so unpredictable, good and bad, unpredictable.

Zhao Zhili turned around and left from the other side of the water pavilion, he seemed sure that Ji Heng would follow him.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Heng said to Xu Qilang, "Wait for me here."

The man followed, Xu Qilang wanted to hold him, stretched out his hand, and then took it back.

Such a hesitant action should not have belonged to Xu Qilang, who is always high-spirited and proud, but in front of Zhao Zhili, he found that he had indeed lowered his head. This lowered status made him hesitate, and his heart sank. down.

He watched as Ji Heng followed Zhao Zhili, flashed past the door of the water pavilion, and the partition blocked his figure.

When he realized that he was powerless, Xu Qilang found that he could no longer be as heartless and happy as before.

In front of Ji Heng, he was unable to act as his protector most of the time.

Xu Qilang was in a daze with his hair hanging down, Zhang Xu walked to his side, comforting him and said, "Qilang, don't worry, since Brother Heng has been a classmate with Zhao Shizi for a few years, I think nothing will happen."

Xu Qilang didn't respond to him, but looked at Shao Gui, and said, "Brother Shao, you clearly know that Brother Heng and Prince Zhao are acquainted, why didn't you hear that it was Prince Zhao who was here?"

Shao Gui knew that the group of people here were not idle people. If everyone didn't ask, it was because they didn't understand, but because they didn't want to ask. He didn't hesitate, and directly apologized to everyone, saying, "I do know that Brother Heng and Ji Yong knew each other. Yong has been lingering here recently, never going home at all, and when he was arrested, he also lost his temper at home and beat and scolded others. His family has nothing to do with him. He, but he didn't listen to my advice. I heard him talk about the son of Ji Shilang's family before, but he spoke kindly. I thought that maybe Ji Heng's words would be useful, but it's really not good to go to Ji's family to invite Ji Heng. After thinking about this idea, I asked Zichan to invite Ji Heng to come here. Everyone, it’s my younger brother’s fault for disturbing everyone’s pleasure. After that, I’ll treat everyone to three drinks, how about it?”

Zhang Xu was studying in the south of the Yangtze River before, and he has not been in the capital for a long time, but he has already understood the rules in the circle of nobles in the capital. happy to."

Xu Qilang always thought that Zhang Xu was a good person, but now he didn't think so in his heart, but he didn't think it was strange that Zhang Xu became such a person. Zhang Xu was just a Hakka son, even though his father He is very respected by Mr. Ji, and his identity cannot be changed, but he can make friends with this group of sons with good family backgrounds. It is impossible for him to have a smooth personality.

After Zhang Xu said so, Xue Gan and Yuan Tingyan were even more friendly, and they also expressed that they didn't care, but instead cared about Zhao Shizi's marriage with the princess.

Xu Qilang was extremely bored with today's practice banquet, but he also held back his irritability, and was entertained by Shao Gui and sat down on a chair.

In Zhao Zhili's absence, Shao Gui fulfilled his master's duties, called the theater troupe master, asked if it was ready, and asked him to sing some of the most famous operas in "The Peony Pavilion" at the beginning.

He ordered the opera, and then asked Xu Qilang, "Qilang, you are from Jiangnan, so you must like southern opera more."

Xu Qilang didn't want to talk to him, but the etiquette of the children of rich and noble families made him reply appropriately, "My family prefers to listen to Southern opera, but when I come here, I also listen to Beijing opera."

Shao Gui said, "I prefer to listen to Southern Opera, which has more charm."

Ji Heng followed Zhao Zhili out of the water pavilion, and Zhao Zhili kept walking, so he had no choice but to follow along. He walked through a place full of flowers and trees, and suddenly a large pond appeared in front of him. There were lotus flowers in the pond, and the lotus flowers were already in full bloom. , On the pond, stood a wooden pavilion with bamboo curtains on it. Zhao Zhili walked into the pavilion, and Ji Heng had no choice but to follow.

This pavilion is ventilated on all sides, with a wide view, and there is no way to hide people around, but it is a place for private conversations.

Zhao Zhili sat down on the stool by himself, and said to Ji Heng, "You sit down too."

Ji Heng walked over slowly and sat on the stool. Zhao Zhili lifted the teapot from the table and poured tea by himself. Watching his series of actions, Ji Heng felt that this peony garden was a bit like Zhao Zhili's own home.

Ji Heng said, "Just say what you have to say. You don't want to marry the princess, but the matter is a foregone conclusion. What's the use of you messing around like this."

Zhao Zhili said with a sullen face, "If I just married a woman I don't like, I wouldn't be so bothered at all. Do you understand me?"
