Chapter 110 Two Beasts
It was not uncommon for powerful eunuchs to marry and take concubines, but the wives of those eunuchs kept themselves in a shabby state and rarely appeared in public.
Not to mention that the eunuchs have twisted mentalities and a strong desire for control, and they don't want their women to show up in public.
They said that after marrying the eunuch, they felt miserable and ashamed to see their old friends again.
The wives of eunuchs would not go to any occasion if they could avoid it, so the ladies of the various families did not expect that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family would actually attend the banquet.
This also caused them to forget to tell their daughter that things are different now and she should not squeeze Jiang Xinyu like before.
These little girls are from the same circle and have been good friends with Jiang Wanqiu since childhood. Also, because Zhao Zhenzhen has the highest social status, everyone supports her.
Now, instigated by the two of them, he was driven by loyalty and wanted to find trouble with Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu, who had left the crowd, was taking the two girls to visit the garden. Not to mention that she didn't know what these little girls were thinking, even if she knew, she would be too lazy to pay attention.
Although the title of the Marquis of Chengyi's Mansion is not as high as that of the Duke of Ning's Mansion, they are really rich, and the garden at home is magnificent and beautiful.
Pavilions, terraces and towers dot the area, and small bridges and flowing water are exquisite and unique.
It was the first time that Jiang Xinyu saw such a beautiful courtyard after traveling here for so long. She was so fascinated that she couldn't even take her eyes off it.
The highest-level mansion that the original body had ever visited was the Ningguo Mansion, but that family had fallen into poverty, and the huge mansion had become a burden.
Beautiful scenery requires money to maintain. The window screens need to be replaced with gold paint and repaired every year, and the flowers and plants in the pond also need to be taken care of from time to time.
The Zhao family has exhausted all their energy in maintaining the superficial prosperity. Except for a few main courtyards and gardens, most of the useless houses in their family have been sealed up.
She remembered that Zhao Zhenzhen once played a trick on her and tricked her into a deserted yard. The torn and flying window screens made the yard look as creepy as a haunted house even in broad daylight.
The Governor's Mansion is quite beautiful, but due to Xiao Yuan's status, there are regulations on both the land area and the architecture.
Xiao Yuan was not stupid, so he would not blatantly overstep his authority. Besides, it was useless for him to have too many houses as his only master.
That guy is so busy every day. I heard from July that before he married her, he might not come back for three or five days. I guess he didn't have the time to pay attention to the scenery.
The Ningguo Duke's Mansion was old and dilapidated, and the Governor's Mansion was small but exquisite. However, the mansion of the Chengyi Earl made her truly experience the foundation of an ancient wealthy family.
In order to have a clear view of the garden, Jiang Xinyu walked along the path to a higher place. However, when she got closer, she found that there were two people playing chess in the pavilion at the highest point.
Xiaodie quickly grabbed Jiang Xinyu's hand and whispered,
"Madam, the one in blue is Xie Lin, the eldest son of the Earl of Chengyi, and the one in moon-white is the fifth prince Jin Zecheng."
When Jiang Xinyu heard the identities of the two people, she felt like she was screwed and turned around and left without saying a word.
Unfortunately, the two people in the pavilion seemed to notice them. Xie Lin immediately smiled and shouted, "Please stay." Then he walked a few steps quickly, waving his folding fan, and stopped in front of them and bowed.
"It's not easy for a petite girl to climb so high, if you don't mind, you can sit with me.
Meeting is destiny. If you want to enjoy the whole garden, there is no better place than the Baoyue Pavilion."
Jiang Xinyu didn't show it on her face, but she was actually rolling her eyes up to the sky.
You must be a blind man. I clearly have a married hairstyle, so why are you calling me a girl?
But when she thought of the Fifth Prince Jiang Xinyu sitting there, she quickly performed the standard etiquette for a woman, and then with a stern face, she solemnly and rigidly recited a passage of female rites.
There is only one central idea.
It is not polite for men and women to sit together without touching each other. Since someone is already in the pavilion, I will take my leave now.
When Xie Lin saw her like this, he immediately lost his appetite. He bowed perfunctorily and turned back to the pavilion.
Jiang Xinyu bowed again calmly, and walked back with upright and standard steps.
If you ignore the curses she whispered, she really is a typical ancient noblewoman who is serious and rigid.
Xiaodie was really relieved.
Young Master Xie Lin was well-known for his romantic life. If Madam really sat with him and the Fifth Prince to drink tea and chat, she would not be able to explain to the Governor when she returned.
The Fifth Prince smiled mockingly when he saw Xie Lin's expression. He waited until the three women walked away before teasing,
"Why didn't Yifeng continue to chat with me?
That young lady is really beautiful and it would be a pity to miss her. Have you ever asked who she belongs to?"
Xie Lin curled his lips in disdain, "What's the use of beauty alone? This wooden beauty with only skin in the air speaks like the old nanny next to my grandmother.
If you marry a woman like this, she can only be used as a housekeeper, and she will definitely be as boring as a dead fish in bed.
Forget about having an affair. If you touch a woman like this, she'll kill herself. I don't want to get into trouble."
"That's true, but Yifeng, you should also tighten your grip."
The fifth prince took a sip of tea and said with a sly smile,
"I'm tired of all your mistresses. When can you get me some new ones?"
Xie Lin waved his folding fan and said proudly, "It's almost there, I've already stolen with Lu a few times, I'll take you there when the time is right.
Your Fifth Prince, this quirk of yours is indeed difficult to deal with. There are many maids and concubines who insist on sleeping with the wives of officials. "
The fifth prince squinted his eyes and recalled, "A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, but secret love is not as exciting as forcing them in front of their lovers."
Xie Lin disagreed, "Even if you like this, you can just choose some servants and their spouses to play with, but you can't rebel with the indenture in hand.
Why do you want me to take the risk of provoking the wives of those officials? What if the truth comes out?"
The fifth prince didn't care at all, "They are just small officials of the sixth or seventh rank, so what if they find out?
If you don't know what's happening, just let him die suddenly. If you know what's happening, you can save yourself the trouble.
If their husbands are watching, it would be more fun than you. The more I talk about it, the more itchy I feel. I really want to give it a try."
Seeing the Fifth Prince's smile becoming more and more voluptuous, Xie Lin secretly groaned in his heart, fearing that this ancestor would come up with some difficult new tricks.
Jiang Xinyu didn't realize that she had avoided a big trouble with her wit, she just subconsciously felt that this scene was annoying.
A secluded pavilion away from the crowds,
A handsome and elegant gentleman,
A young prince was playing chess and a girl accidentally walked in.
If nothing happens with this combination, it would be all in vain.
Especially the so-called prince was wearing a moon-white suit at the old man's birthday banquet. If he really came to wish him a happy birthday sincerely, she should have written her name backwards.
Whether or not white clothes are fluttering in costume TV dramas is just to cater to the aesthetic tastes of modern people.
In fact, moonlight white is the bottom line of clothing in this world. Anything lighter is equivalent to wearing mourning clothes. Unless someone has died in the family, no one dares to wear it like this.
A playboy prince and a nobleman who flirts with young women, this combination is so dangerous no matter how you think about it.
However, there are very few people who think like Jiang Xinyu. The troubles she tries to avoid are the temptations that many people flock to.
Not long after the rain in Jiang Xinyu fell, another young woman who felt the banquet was boring climbed up the path leading to Baoyue Pavilion.
It’s a pity that Jiang Xinyu escaped from the two scumbags but failed to escape from a group of ignorant girls.
As soon as she arrived at the rose garden, she was surrounded by several familiar-looking girls, staring at her with wide eyes and squealing like hens on stimulants.
