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

When Ji Heng returned home, he found that Mrs. Xu and Xu Qilang had already returned, and he couldn't help feeling very strange.

He entered the room of Mrs. Xu, the main house, went up to greet Mrs. Xu, and asked, "Mother, why did you come back so early? I thought you would come back after lunch."

After a while, Ji Heng was going to go to the palace to accompany him to study again. Xu sat on the kang and inspected the clothes Ji Heng was going to wear in the palace. She lowered her head and concentrated on checking the seams and embroidery on them. Although the clothes are made by a very reputable embroidery workshop in Beijing, and there will be no problems, she still checks them again every time.

Hearing Ji Heng's question at this moment, she raised her head and smiled, but instead of answering him, she said, "I also thought that you and your father came back after eating out, and the kitchen didn't even order you to make something good." Yes, just eat whatever you want later.”

Seeing that Xu didn't answer, Ji Heng knew that it was not easy to answer, so he stopped asking, and instead said, "Recently, which meal is not a big meal, just eat something light My father and I went to my uncle and elder brother. The two of them came to Beijing to take an examination of Chunwei. My father arranged for the cook who used to go home to visit relatives from time to time these days. Without the chef, how can they entertain me and me? Father, elder brother said to go to the restaurant for dinner, but father said he still has some things to do, so he declined and came back."

Mrs. Xu said, "In this case, just arrange another cook to come over. I told you to let your thirteenth uncle and elder brother come to stay at home, but they themselves don't want to."

Ji Heng knew that Mrs. Xu didn't really like those relatives in Mr. Ji's clan very much. Although she didn't like them, Mrs. Xu never had any bad manners, and everything was done according to the etiquette.

Ji Heng said, "Brother, I am grateful for the nice yard you found for your mother, and said that living there is convenient for hard work. It's not that they don't have a cook, and the servants at home can also cook, but they don't have a cook who can entertain guests. , I don’t think there is any need to arrange for a cook to go there.”

Xu nodded and said nothing.

After tidying up the clothes in his hand, he said to Ji Heng, "Hurry up and try on the clothes, let me see."

Ji Heng had to go to try on clothes. Xu likes to watch Ji Heng try on all kinds of clothes. She has a sense of accomplishment. She can appreciate Ji Heng's change for a long time. The smile on her face cannot be hidden, "I My son is handsome, he looks good in anything he wears."

Ji Heng was so annoyed with trying on, he said, "Mom, I have something to do with Qilang, so I went to play with him first."

Xu tried to hold him but didn't, Ji Heng slid away like a fish, Xu smiled helplessly, "This child..."

Ji Heng found Xu Qilang, Xu Qilang was lying on the kang in his own room in a daze, when Ji Heng went in, he sat on the edge of the kang and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Why are you in a daze."

Xu Qilang glanced at him, then sat up and said, "Today I went to see a play at the Marquis of Yongchang with my aunt, what do you think I saw?"

Seeing Xu Qilang's sluggish look, Ji Heng thought it was not a good thing, and Xu also changed the subject just now, indicating that it was not a good thing to spread.

Ji Heng said, "Didn't you go to Mr. Liu's mansion, why did you go to Yongchang Hou's mansion again?"

Marquis Yongchang and Marquis Dingguo are two brothers, but because Marquis Dingguo is the Xijue and inherited Zhao's mansion, Marquis Yongchang's mansion was rebuilt two streets away from Marquis Dingguo's mansion, and it was luxuriously built. The style is no worse than that of Dingguo Houfu.

The house of Mr. Liu, who was a good friend of the Yongchang Hou Mansion and the Xu family, is next to each other.

Speaking of Mrs. Liu's family, it is the family of the emperor's adoptive mother, Concubine Liu Gui. He is an adopted son and even became the emperor, but the emperor did not hold power at all, so the Liu family did not receive any shelter. Now, although Mrs. Liu is the head of the country, he only has a false title and no longer holds power in the court. The two sons are not very up-to-date, and they have been going downhill for a long time, but there is still a shelf of the family business.Mrs. Xu and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family knew each other when they were in Yangzhou. Mrs. Gan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, called Mrs. Xu her cousin, and Mrs. Xu had many contacts with her.

Mrs. Xu was visiting the Liu family that day, and wanted to go to the Yongchang Hou Mansion with the Liu family.

Xu Qilang said, "It was originally at the Liu family's mansion, but the Yongchang Hou mansion next door invited the Lingfeng troupe to sing, and his wife sent someone to invite the old lady of the Liu family to listen. I took my aunt and went with me, and I also went with me."

Ji Heng nodded and said, "So that's how it is. You look listless. Is it because of Mr. Ling? I think you've been obsessed with him recently. Are you suffering from lovesickness?"

Xu Qilang blushed suddenly when he said it, and said, "What nonsense you say, I am not lovesick. Besides, I just sympathize with his life experience and think he sings well, but I don't like him."

He defended, but saw that the smile on Ji Heng's face deepened. He knew that Ji Heng had misunderstood, so he got angry, "I'm serious, don't think I'm lying."

Ji Heng quickly suppressed his smile, and said, "I know, I believe you. Then tell me what happened quickly, and don't fool me."

Xu Qilang muttered, "I didn't whet your appetite."

He also said, "The eldest wife and several sons and daughters-in-law of the Marquis of Dingguo were also guests in the Marquis of Yongchang. They sat together with female guests, and I just sat with the male guests. I also met Zhao Zhili's cousin there." Brother, the eldest son of the Yongchang Hou Mansion, the one who is also studying with you in the palace now, he knows that I am your cousin, so he treats me very warmly. We were talking together, and then we went to the yard, and saw Princess Xiang'an asking The maid and the mother-in-law called Lingxian out of the backstage, asked the mother-in-law to slap Lingxian twice, and asked the class leader to sell Lingxian to her."

Ji Heng didn't expect the matter to develop to this point. He thought that the trouble that Princess Xiang'an had to find Lingxian must be Yang Qinji who went to say something to Princess Xiang'an.

According to Yang Qinji's temper, it can be seen that his own sister's temper will not be very good.

Ji Heng said, "Even if Lingxian is an actor, he is still a man. Princess Xiang'an has no rules, so go to meet a man?"

Xu Qilang frowned and said, "It's this time, who still thinks about this. At that time, Lingxian's face was swollen, and there was blood from the corner of his mouth. It was I who went forward with the son of the Yongchang Hou Mansion, Princess Xiang'an That’s why they didn’t let people beat more spirit immortals.”

Ji Heng's eyes sank, and he said, "Then what happened in the end? Wasn't Zhao Zhili there at the time?"

Xu Qilang shook his head, "I didn't see him there. Later, the two wives of the Zhao family were alarmed, and Princess Xiang'an wanted to buy Lingxian, but fortunately his class leader didn't sell it. Princess Xiang'an was finally persuaded to leave , the play only sang halfway, so there is nothing to listen to later. After all, this is a family scandal of the Zhao family, and we don’t want to watch it too much. My aunt and I left soon, and my aunt told me not to spread it.”

Ji Heng said, "Even if you don't spread it, I think it will spread it soon. There are a lot of fans of Lingxian, and many ladies in Beijing love his drama, and now they are beaten by Princess Xiang'an. The lady hates her in her heart, but speaking of it, Zhao Zhili has only been married to her for three months, and she can make such a mess. I really don't know how she and the Zhao family got into trouble. Could it be that she is a bit of a princess? Don't you care anymore?"

Xu Qilang said, "It's also Zhao Zhili's fault. The wife at home can't control it, and she wants to be with Lingxian outside."

Ji Heng looked at Xu Qilang and laughed at him and said, "When you get married in the future, don't marry a wife who is too fierce, otherwise with your sentimental temperament, I'm afraid the backyard will catch fire."

Xu Qilang blushed again at what he said, "I'm not sentimental, besides, I won't marry, so what."

Ji Heng said to him, "Aren't you a sentimental person? Who is fighting for Lingxian? You don't marry such nonsense, and you can still say it to me in a fit of anger? Let my mother hear it, your parents hear it, and they I must not drag you to the temple to exorcise evil spirits."

Xu Qilang snorted, "I won't talk to you anymore, you don't understand me at all, and you keep talking to me."

Ji Heng said reluctantly, "What do you mean, it seems that I bullied you, saying that I don't understand you, what do you want me to understand you. I found the Longyang book under your bed two days ago, and I reminded you You, Xu Dachuan, you go astray without learning, my mother will not be able to explain to your father at that time, you are trying to make the two families discord, and, as far as my friendship with you is concerned, I will not Let you go."

Xu Qilang looked at Ji Heng as if his eyes were about to burst into flames, bit his lower lip, as if he was about to get angry, but after staring at Ji Heng for a while, he died down again, turned over and lay down on the kang without speaking.

Ji Heng leaned over to look at him, then stretched out his hand to pat him on the cheek, "You are being violent with me, aren't you? Let me tell you, you really like Lingxian? He is an actor and has a lot of fans. , and I think he has unusual feelings for Zhao Zhili, you don't have any chance of winning."

Xu Qilang turned over suddenly, hugged Ji Heng's waist, then pressed him on the kang, stared at him condescendingly, and said, "Did I tell you? It's not like this at all."

Ji Heng let him sit on top, looked at him with bright eyes, and said, "Then why do you always look in a trance recently. I think I don't believe you at all if you say that this is not lovesickness. My good Qilang , Because an actor has become like this, why don’t you say I’m annoyed. You were happy like that before, aren’t you?”

Xu Qilang's nose was sore from what he said, his lips moved, but in the end he lost his strength, lay on Ji Heng's body, buried his face in Ji Heng's neck, and said softly, "Brother Heng, I'm afraid I'm still I have to go back to Yangzhou to prepare for the examination of scholar."

Ji Heng was stunned for a moment, stretched out his arms to hug him, and said, "Just go if you want to go. A big man has aspirations in all directions and makes achievements. Don't put all your heart and mind on your children's private affairs. That's meaningless."

Xu Qilang was silent, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.
