Chapter 661: Old Stories
Maybe it was because he didn't want to put too much pressure on Ji Yunshu, but Zhao Shen didn't seem to have too many expectations for Ji Yunshu.
His attitude really made Ji Yunshu feel much more relaxed.
She continued to look for Xianxian and Qingyu happily.
But their attitudes towards her had changed significantly.
Xianxian obviously had certain expectations of her and seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.
I don’t know what Yu Shiyi is busy with, I haven’t seen him in the past few days.
Ji Yunshu asked casually.
Xianxian shook her head: "He is the son of the Yu family, how can he really stay here all day? His family won't allow it."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, “I wanted to ask before. I heard that the Yu family has very strict family education. Why did they let him linger in a place like this?”
Xianxian smiled and said, "He's the youngest son, so it's inevitable that he's spoiled a little at home. The eldest son is different. Except for occasional social events, he never comes to our place on weekdays."
"The young master of the Yu family married the princess, so of course he should be more chaste."
The eldest son of the Yu family is the consort of Princess Rong'an.
Ji Yunshu thought about how Princess Rong'an in the capital seemed unfriendly to him, but she actually helped him. Until now, he still hadn't figured out what she meant.
"But this is Hangzhou after all. Even if she is a princess, staying in the inner chamber all day, it is impossible for her to know what the eldest son does outside."
Ji Yunshu heard something from these words. She found that ever since Xianxian told her about Yang Zhen that day, she no longer hid anything from her and always revealed some information to her intentionally or unintentionally.
She asked with great interest, "Could there be some other hidden secret?"
Xianxian really likes to entertain Ji Yunshu. He is young and generous, and unlike other guests, he does not like to touch them or even act in a condescending manner, treating them as human beings and humiliating them at will.
Ji Yunshu's attitude is always gentle, and she never says or does anything inappropriate. It is very comfortable to be with her.
After knowing that she might be from the imperial court, Xianxian's attitude towards her changed greatly.
She said many things that she shouldn't have said, intentionally or unintentionally.
When she heard Ji Yunshu's question, she replied casually, "I just heard that the eldest son had a lover, but unfortunately, her family background was not good enough to make her the head of the Yu family. After learning that the emperor had arranged for the princess to marry the eldest son, she left on her own."
This kind of thing is not new. Even the young master of the Yu family cannot disobey the imperial edict.
What's more, the object is a princess who is very favored by the emperor. For the entire Yu family, this is a great honor.
Ji Yunshu asked with interest, "What happened next?"
Xianxian spread her hands and said, "Later, the eldest son married the princess. They loved each other very much and gave birth to a son that year. He is the eldest son and grandson of this generation of the Yu family."
Ji Yunshu felt that if this was really the case, Xianxian would not have said what she said before.
"Where is the eldest son's white moonlight?"
"White Moonlight?"
Xianxian was stunned for a moment, then she realized that what was in her heart, what she could never forget or erase, wasn't it the white moonlight?
"I never heard anything more about that girl afterwards, but I did hear a guest mention that he had seen her at Lingtai Temple outside the city. She was pregnant, so she must have gotten married."
Ji Yunshu thought back to what she had just said, that the princess was in the inner house and she had no idea what the eldest son was doing outside.
And this is Hangzhou. If the eldest son of the Yu family wants to hide someone, he can definitely hide it well.
Such a thing as not being able to get the love that is deserved should not happen to the young master of the Yu family who almost has the final say in Jiangnan.
"When did you meet that girl in the temple?"
Seeing that every question she asked hit the nail on the head, Xianxian couldn't help but laugh. "It was not long after the eldest son married the princess. I remember it so clearly because the guest who said it at the time lamented the girl's fickleness. The eldest son almost disobeyed his order for her, and she married right away, and even got pregnant so quickly."
These words made Ji Yunshu's heart skip a beat. She seemed to understand what Xianxian was trying to say after going through so much trouble.
She said calmly, "According to what you said, the princess was pregnant at that time. It was clearly the eldest son who married someone else first. How can you say that the girl was heartless?"
Xianxian looked at Ji Yunshu and saw that she looked serious, as if she was really confused rather than mocking him.
She then said, "It's a pity that there are too few men like you in this world. In the eyes of the world, a man's unfaithfulness is understandable, but a woman's cannot be forgiven."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "This world is indeed a bit harsh on women. But fortunately, the girl got married, which is also a good result."
Xianxian smiled and said, "Who knows if she is really married? Speaking of which, if what that guest said is true, her child is about the same age as the princess's."
Ji Yunshu looked at her deeply and did not continue the topic.
Xianxian stopped talking at that point. "Originally, it's difficult for outsiders to know about the affairs of aristocratic families. Many people in Hangzhou know about this matter because when the imperial decree was issued to grant the marriage, the eldest son was determined to disobey it, which caused quite a stir. The girl left at that time. Not many people know about what happened afterwards."
Ji Yunshu understood: "It seems that your guest is very familiar with the Yu family."
He might even be a member of the Yu family, otherwise there would be no reason for him to have met the sweetheart of the eldest son of the Yu family.
Xianxian, of course, couldn't reveal the guest's information, so she avoided the question and said, "The noble families in Hangzhou are all related by marriage, so they are very familiar with each other."
How familiar do you have to be to be able to enter the other person's inner courtyard and meet the female members of the family?
Ji Yunshu didn't ask about such an obvious loophole. She has always been a very considerate person in front of Xianxian.
"Thank you very much, I haven't heard of this."
Xianxian said modestly, "Many people in Hangzhou know about this old story, but it's been so many years that people don't talk about it anymore. I hope you don't mind me being long-winded."
Ji Yunshu said, "How could that be? I'm quite free, so I just like listening to you talk about these things. They're quite interesting."
Xianxian took the opportunity to ask, "Since you're from the capital, you should have seen this kind of thing before, right?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "The aristocratic families in the capital are very cautious. They will keep this kind of thing secret and will never let it spread outside."
According to Xianxian, the eldest son of the Yu family wanted to disobey the imperial order.
In the capital, which young man would dare to do such a thing?
Although Zhao Heng loved Yao Ruolan so much, he did not dare to disobey the Queen Mother's order for her.
Not to mention the emperor's edict.
For aristocratic families, family is the foundation. No one dares to be careless about things that may involve the entire family.
After all, Hangzhou is a place where the emperor is far away and the Yu family is extremely powerful, so the eldest son of the Yu family dares not ignore the emperor's edict.
