Chapter 763 Rumors are fiercer than tigers
Song Yanxi pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah? There is such a thing?
Don't worry, big brother, take your time."
Seeing that the elder brother still had concerns, Song Yanxi hurriedly said, "To be honest, elder brother, my brother and I are from other places and don't know much about the local customs.
But I have heard some of the heroic deeds of His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who bravely fought against the enemy in the border town."
Hearing her say this, the eldest brother snorted coldly and said, "Sister, what you said is true. In our Da'an, from the sixty-year-old man to the baby who just learned to walk, who doesn't know our King Jin?
If you go out on the street and shout, everyone will turn around and look at you."
"Really?" Song Yanxi couldn't help but chuckle.
He kept saying that he knew her, but the person was sitting next to him and he didn't notice at all.
But come to think of it, the image of the prince in their minds is no different from that of a god descending from heaven.
Indeed, he shouldn't have suddenly appeared in this street shop.
In addition, his position was facing away from the two of them, and his face was not visible. Even if they were acquaintances, they might not recognize him just by looking at him when he entered the door.
"Of course!" Afraid that Song Yanxi would think he was bragging, the elder brother smoothed the sleeve of his left arm and said, "See? The scar on it was left when I followed the prince."
There was a slanting knife wound on his forearm, which looked like an old wound.
But no matter how Song Yanxi looked at it, she felt that the pattern of the scar did not look like the wound caused by swords, spears or guns on the battlefield.
It looks more like scratches left by a chopping knife or an axe.
Seeing her staring, the man opposite also took a closer look and muttered, "You know what, your scar looks quite intimidating."
The eldest brother glared at her, "Can you speak? That's the badge of a real man!"
The man took a sip of water from the bowl and said, "Don't scare a girl from another place. If people hear you're pretending to be His Royal Highness Prince Jin again, they'll have you arrested and brought before the authorities."
"How can this be called impersonation?" The eldest brother suddenly became anxious.
He hurriedly looked at Song Yanxi and said angrily: "Sister, don't listen to my brother's nonsense."
As if feeling embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "Although I am not the prince's man yet, it is only a matter of time.
As soon as the border troops start recruiting soldiers, I'll pack up and join the army!"
"Conscription?" The person across the table smiled and said, "If you ask me, you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible.
Everyone in the capital knows that this time, that damn prince came to our Da'an just for peace talks.
With His Royal Highness Prince Jin back in command, it would be really difficult to start a war."
"If he wants to negotiate, then let him negotiate?" The eldest brother snorted coldly, his eyes almost rolling up to the sky. "Don't you think you are nothing?"
The person opposite was startled by him and reminded him, "I heard that Prince Liang hasn't left yet. Be careful of your words."
"What are you afraid of? How dare he act rashly in our territory?"
The older brother grew angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He spat and said, "This kind of bastard is still dreaming of marrying our princess. He can just keep dreaming."
"That's getting off topic. Go drink some water and calm down."
Hearing what his companions said, the eldest brother realized something and smiled embarrassedly at Song Yanxi.
He scratched his head and said, “I’m impatient and speak bluntly, so please don’t mind, sister.
So, where were we just now?"
Without waiting for the person next to him to remind him, he slammed the table and said, "That Li Laizi, he talks nonsense with his mouth.
I don't know who he heard all this nonsense from, but he dared to spread it everywhere, saying that it was His Royal Highness Prince Jin who was responsible for the accident that year.
Tell me, isn't this nonsense? "
Song Yanxi asked tentatively, "Is the person you mentioned the one who was assassinated more than ten years ago?"
"How come a girl from another place knows about this?" The eldest brother was a little surprised.
The person opposite him said, "What you said is true. Back then, that incident caused a lot of uproar. Anyone living in Da'an, no matter how remote the place, would have heard of it."
"That's right." The eldest brother nodded and said with a smile: "Just looking at the way you two are dressed, you are obviously children from wealthy families.
Are you coming to Beijing to visit relatives and friends this time?"
Song Yanxi smiled lightly and nodded, saying politely: "To be honest with you two brothers, my brother and I ran away from home to see the world.
I've only been in Beijing for two days and haven't had time to look around."
The eldest brother was immediately interested when he heard this. "Then you've come to the right place. This year's capital is bustling for the first time in decades."
Thinking that these two "outsiders" definitely didn't know, he cleared his throat and started from the beginning.
"If we were to talk about the most exciting thing in the capital, it would have to be the story of the General of the Cavalry divorcing his wife and remarrying, and Princess Shihan threatening to commit suicide in order to marry her lover."
Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard this, "A princess like you is actually threatening me with death?"
"Of course not!" The eldest brother said as a matter of course: "Sister, you don't know, these two people have done many shameless things.
Don't worry, I'll drink some water and tell you slowly."
Song Yanxi knows that what people say can be scary.
I had only heard about it before, but it never really happened to me, so I didn't have a clear feeling about it.
But today, she experienced firsthand how rumors are more ferocious than tigers.
The scene of their encounter at the gate of the general's mansion on the day Lin Tingfeng returned to Beijing had become a completely different story after being passed on from mouth to mouth.
The wife, who prayed for her husband to find infinite bliss, knelt in the Buddhist temple for a long time and could not get up. However, when she turned around, she saw her husband, who was supposed to be dead, making love with another woman.
That would have been fine, but after the two were discovered, they shamelessly asked their wives to ask to be their concubines.
The Duke was ashamed to have such a shameless daughter, so he announced that he had severed all ties with her.
If she wasn't the unfortunate "wife", Song Yanxi would have no way of connecting these two things together.
Having said so much, only the last point sounds less outrageous.
Seeing Song Yanxi's face full of indescribable words, the eldest brother was so angry that he scolded: "If you ask me, these two shameless people are a perfect match. They just delayed the princess's good time."
As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, "As a person, you should still do more good deeds. Although we are both princesses, Princess Yong'an has donated money and treated illnesses and saved lives in the past six months.
Her wedding to His Royal Highness Prince Jin is approaching, and this is all the reward for her kindness."
The person sitting at the same table echoed, "You're right. Prince Jin and Princess Yong'an are such good people, they should have eight sons."
Mo Jinchuan was drinking water. When he heard this, he coughed violently twice and almost choked to death.
The blessings from these two big brothers are really very simple.
Song Yanxi also blushed and lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Give birth to eight sons?
Based on the ten months of pregnancy, plus the time for recuperation in between, even if she gave birth one after another, it would take at least eleven or twelve years.
Then why does she have to go around practicing medicine? Wouldn't it be enough for her to just stay home and give birth to her child?
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, the eldest brother said awkwardly, "You brothers and sisters, please don't misunderstand me. Not every family in the capital can afford to have so many children."
He turned his head to look towards the door, and seeing no one passing by, he said mysteriously, "I also heard the news outside, so you guys better not tell anyone outside."
