No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 25 Teaching
"Shake."

Luo Junyao came out of Luo Yun's study and saw Shen Lingxiang waiting for her not far away.

She walked over slowly, "Cousin Lingxiang, what's the matter?"

Shen Lingxiang was silent for a while and did not speak, but saw Luo Junyao standing beside her with a relaxed expression, as if he was not at all curious about what she wanted to say.

Shen Lingxiang's expression changed, looking at Luo Junyao with a sad expression, "Yaoyao, you these two days..."

Luo Junyao looked up at her, "Cousin Lingxiang, what happened these two days?"

Shen Lingxiang said: "You seem... a little different from before."

Luo Junyao smiled calmly: "People's hearts are sinister, I've grown up."

Shen Lingxiang stretched out his hand anxiously to grab Luo Junyao's hand, but Luo Junyao took a step back and missed her hand.

Shen Lingxiang caught the air, and looked at his outstretched hand in a daze for a moment.

"Yao Yao, you... are you blaming your cousin?" Shen Lingxiang looked at her sadly.

Luo Junyao slightly tilted his head, and the little pearl steps in his hair trembled slightly by his ears.

"Strange? Did my cousin do something wrong?" Luo Junyao asked.

Shen Lingxiang smiled forcefully, "Of course not, it's just... I feel that Yaoyao has become estranged from me a lot these days, and doesn't like going to Yuzhui Courtyard anymore. My mother also said today that she hasn't seen Yaoyao for several days. "

Luo Jun shook his face with doubts and said: "Is that so? Maybe it's because...I was too free before? Dad said that we have grown up and have a lot of things to do. Especially cousin Lingxiang, the eldest sister is about to leave the cabinet , Cousin Lingxiang is coming soon too. If I pester Cousin Lingxiang all day, I will delay her."

"How come? I..."

"Besides, I also have a lot of things to do. There is always a banquet in the world. We will be separated sooner or later when we grow up. Let's get used to it." Luo Junyao said as a matter of course.

Shen Lingxiang really couldn't laugh anymore, she could see that Luo Junyao was really alienated from her.

But she didn't understand, why?
Is it because of what happened two days ago?She asked herself that there was no opening left at that time, did Luo Junyao have the brains to suspect her?

Or is it really as she said... Was it her uncle who ordered her?

Thinking of Luo Yun and Luo Jinyan's obviously indifferent eyes on him, Shen Lingxiang felt a little heavy in his heart for a moment.

"No matter what, Yao Yao will always be my only sister in my heart." Shen Lingxiang was a little flustered, but still said to Luo Jun with sincerity.

Luo Junyao recalled the scene she saw in the afternoon, curled her lips in disgust.

What a shame to be your sister.

Shen Lingxiang went back to her yard worriedly. She had to figure out whether Luo Yun and Luo Jinyan were just suspicious and guarding against her or did they really have any evidence.

Suddenly she paused, remembering Nanyu who had been locked up for two or three days.

Could it be what Nanyu said?
Shen Lingxiang quickly shook his head in his heart again, it's impossible... Nanyu doesn't know much, even if he really couldn't bear it and wanted to speak, he couldn't say anything.

They really made a mistake this time. They didn't expect Luo Yun and his son to have such a big influence on Luo Junyao.

If she had known that Luo Junyao was so changeable, she shouldn't have...

Shen Lingxiang closed her eyes, although the jealousy and resentment in her heart could not stop just thinking of Xie Chengyou and Luo Junyao's entanglement, but at this moment, she still felt a little regretful in her heart.

If Luo Junyao could not be controlled, wouldn't their patience and calculations for the past two years be in vain?

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Luo Junyao and Luo Mingxiang followed the Su family to take care of Luo Mingxiang's dowry.

It was mainly because the Su family and Luo Mingxiang were busy, and Luo Junyao was on the sidelines to join in the fun.

These things are something that a housewife must master. Su Shi also intends to teach her two daughters. While doing things, she does not forget to explain and pass on some experience of being a housekeeper.

In this world, it is important to be a man who dominates the outside and a woman who dominates the inside.

But it doesn't mean that women only need to be raised in deep boudoirs, husbands and children, especially in families like them.

A man may win the future and the glory of the whole family in the officialdom and battlefield. The annual income and expenditure of the whole family, human relations, children's upbringing and marriage, and even the entire mansion of hundreds of people must be managed by the head mother.

Its importance is self-evident, so the choice of the clan's wife by the big family is also very important.

In this respect, Luo Junyao and Shen Lingxiang are actually inferior to Luo Mingxiang.

Luo Junyao is incompetent by herself, and it is impossible for people to believe that she can afford the status of everyone's mistress.

Shen Lingxiang's status is not good enough. Although the Luo family is noble now, Mrs. Luo herself was born as a peasant woman.No matter in the past or now, the two daughters-in-law are the directors of the family.

Luo's husband was only a fifth-rank official before his death. Shen Lingxiang didn't have a good relationship with Su and didn't raise her in front of Su. Who would teach her this?

Even though she has the title of the most talented woman in the capital, she can't eat piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

In contrast, Luo Mingxiang has almost no shortcomings except that he is just Luo Yun's stepdaughter.

Even if her biological father died young, she was also a general before his death. Otherwise, how could she marry the Su family who was born in a noble family?

In the past, Luo Junyao didn't like to listen to these things, but now Luo Junyao doesn't have much love for them, but it's quite interesting to listen to.

Don't look at the women in the back house who are trapped in the inner house, but there is a lot of knowledge in being able to support such a large family and manage it in an orderly manner.

"Remember both of you, you must keep the dowry list by yourself."

Mrs. Su copied the dowry list herself, and then said to the two of them: "There are three copies of the dowry list, one is kept at home, one is for your husband's family to review, and you have to keep it yourself, and the other is to be sent to the government for filing. Once you enter the court, you are from someone else's family, even your parents and brothers can't watch you all the time, and the dowry is a woman's confidence in her husband's family."

Luo Junyao lay on the table and asked curiously: "Mother, what if the girl's family is poor and has no dowry?"

Su Shi said: "For a family like ours, no matter what the family background is, they still have to prepare a good-looking dowry for the girl, but there are differences in the thickness of the inside. Besides, the two families have to see each other when they get married. If the woman is really embarrassed, the man will be embarrassed." Wouldn't it be absurd to still be hired, and then care about the amount of dowry?"

"If there are parents who really care about their daughter, they will probably not force the girl to marry into a high-ranking family. No matter what the style of the high-ranking family is, if there are too many people and not enough support, they will inevitably suffer some grievances. As for the real ordinary people At home, everyone is similar, the parents who love the girl buy two pieces of jewelry for the girl, and a few taels of silver at the bottom of the box will be fine."

Both Luo Junyao and Luo Mingxiang listened carefully, Su looked a little funny, raised his hand and nodded Luo Junyao's eyebrows and said, "Just listen to these words, you don't need to worry about the dowry anyway."

How could the daughter of the Luo family lose her dowry.

Luo Junyao covered his forehead and said, "But...what if someone else marries me because of my dowry?"

Luo Mingxiang laughed, stretched out his hand and scratched Luo Junyao's cheek, "What a shameless little girl."

Luo Junyao held his face and said it as a matter of course, "In the first place, what's wrong with that?"

Su Shi also shook her head and said: "That's why I told you that the dowry must be held in your own hands. A virtuous family will not touch the daughter-in-law's dowry. Whether you spend it yourself or pass it on to your children, it is up to you Although it was given to the husband’s family in the end, if it allows you to live a happy and peaceful life in the husband’s family, it is the wish of the parents. However, you should not be too stingy and regard money as your life. If the husband’s family really When encountering a difficult and difficult situation, you should not just stand by and watch with gold and silver, but you have to figure out how to do it yourself."

The two expressed their understanding in unison, and then Su Shi nodded in satisfaction.

When the three of them were talking, a servant outside the door hurriedly came to report, "Madam, Zuo Changshi of the Prince Regent's Mansion is asking to see the Eldest Prince."
