The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 131

Baozhu walked into the bookstore, and Dynasty was waiting outside. Baozhu picked out travel notes, miscellaneous notes and other books. She picked a travel note and looked through it. After seeing and hearing, Bao Zhu immediately planned to buy this book. There are many travel notes and miscellaneous notes in various bookstores. Because it was written by an unknown person, not many people bought it.

The books that Baozhu had selected were put aside first, but this bookstore had selected several books, and all of them were put aside, waiting for the bill to be paid later.

So I picked out a few more books, and was about to go over to pay the money, when I heard a joyful voice over there, "These books are good, I want them from the shopkeeper."

Baozhu turned her head to look, and found that the few books she had chosen were being held by a girl wearing a thin jacket with peony purple hazel and a long skirt embroidered with wintersweet. She was about to pay the bill to the shopkeeper.

The girl had almond eyes, fair skin, and a swaying figure, followed by a maid in green clothes.

Baozhu raised her eyebrows, "Girl, I picked these books for you."

The girl heard the words, turned her head to look at Baozhu, and snorted, "Since you didn't pay the money, I like this thing, and it's mine."

Baozhu laughed, this girl has a big tone, her family background should be good, otherwise she doesn't have the capital to be arrogant.

The shopkeeper is quite sensible, "Girl, this young man picked the book, so it is naturally his. Do you want to stop reading it?"

The girl's hibiscus noodles immediately turned cold, "I just fell in love with these books, and I still want these books today."

Baozhu didn't want to talk to her anymore, and handed the books in her hand and the few books she had just selected to the shopkeeper, "Just these few books, how much money in total."

The shopkeeper quoted the price, and Baozhu gave the silver.

The girl's face was ashen, and the maid next to her persuaded, "Girl, forget it."

The girl turned her head and scolded the little servant girl, "Forget it, I, Chu Yi, have never been humiliated like this before." Then she said to Baozhu, "I'll pay you 500 taels of silver to get them!"

Books bought for 50 taels, 500 taels is quite a lot.What's more, books are very precious in this era. There is only one single copy of such a book, which is the only lonely copy written by the writer's life experience. Adrift.

The five books of Baozhu cost 50 taels of silver, which shows how valuable the books are.

Baozhu was thinking of something else, and she only thought to herself, Chu Yi?It seems that there are not many surnamed Chu in Luling, is it such a coincidence?
Baozhu laughed and said, "Could it be the second girl from Yonghe Hou Chu's family?"

Back then, because Princess Fushouchang married Chu's son-in-law, this son-in-law was also made a third-class marquis.

Chu Yi snorted, "For you to be sensible, since you know who this girl is, hurry up and present all the books in your hand."

Baozhu wanted to laugh, thinking that this girl was really just like what Ayu said, arrogant and arrogant, but she had no brains, a concubine from the Chu family would dare to be so arrogant outside.

"I'm really disrespectful. I've always heard that Miss Chu Er has outstanding literary talents and her appearance is even more beautiful like a fairy. Today I saw her, but she is really like this. I really admire you." Baozhu laughed. She is now dressed in men's clothing, and she is slightly taller than ordinary girls. , the facial features are already outstanding, even if the skin is smeared dark, he is still a handsome young master now.

After being praised by her like this, Chu Yi's anger subsided a bit, and she naturally felt a little flustered, and asked, "Which family are you from? I don't seem to have seen you in Luling?"

How could Baozhu tell her her real identity, she just said sadly, "My family has failed, I'm afraid Miss Chu won't know if I tell her."

It turned out to be a down and out family, so Chu Yi lost interest, "Forget it, since that's the case, if you give me the book in your hand, I'll give it to you at 500 taels."

Baozhu said with a sad face, "Miss Chu, to be honest, this book is of great use to me, otherwise I should give it to the girl. If the girl doesn't dislike it, I will give it to the girl after I go back and copy these books? My lord The girl has always been in love with her, if the girl is willing, you may as well tell the next time, and I will send the book to the mansion when the time comes."

Chu Yi couldn't help but frowned, thinking that she was just another down and out who wanted to get in touch with the Chu family and pursue her. Although this down and out Hu was quite handsome, but he didn't have a good family background, how could she catch her eye?

Thinking of this, Chu Yi immediately lost interest in these books, waved her hands and said impatiently, "Forget it, forget it, since you are very useful, I won't be loved by others."

Seeing what Bao Zhu had to say, Chu Yi turned around and left in a hurry as if being chased by a plague god.

Baozhu laughed, such a girl would probably suffer a lot in Ayu's hands, now that Ayu and her golden whip are not around, the second girl Chu is even more arrogant.

Baozhu couldn't take this matter to heart, and she didn't plan to have any communication with the Chu family, and it was Ayu's housework, so she wouldn't participate.

After carefully wrapping the book and handing it over to Wang Chao, Baozhu walked around the market again before going back to the Governor's Mansion.

Back at the governor's mansion, Baozhu handed over the selected gems to Si Zhenfang and asked them to make them into buttons so that she could sew them on the clothes she made for the king of Shu.

Taking advantage of the free time before, she made another suit of clothes for the king of Shu, and the buttons were missing.

The King of Shu was very busy during this period, and Baozhu rarely went to Yuhua Courtyard to disturb him. He only read the travel notes and miscellaneous notes carefully in the study room. Found in this travel note, the owner of this travel note said that he has traveled all over the country, and has seen a kind of plant on the sandy land elsewhere. The deciduous shrub has many spines and is thick. The young branches are brown-green, and the old branches are gray-black and rough.The buds are large, golden yellow or rust-colored.The fruit is spherical, the size of a thumb, orange-yellow or orange-red, and the seeds are small, broadly elliptic to oval in shape. After tasting, the taste is sweet and sour, and it is edible.

What makes Baozhu even more happy is that the owner of this travel note wrote that this kind of fruit tree has a well-developed root system, which can prevent wind, fix sand, and maintain water and soil.

Baozhu wrote it down and planned to show it to the King of Shu, but at present there is only such a piece of news, and it is really difficult to find this kind of fruit tree based on these descriptions.

In addition to this, she found many interesting things in these books, such as a kind of black grease that can seep out of the desert, which can spontaneously ignite and has a strange smell.

There are also people living on the other side of the sea, but they are all blond and blue-eyed weirdos.

There are also many strange records, all of which were copied by the orb.

When Baozhu was free, he gave the things he had sorted out to the King of Shu. The King of Shu looked at them seriously and was a little moved, so he planned to send someone to look at them.

Afterwards, the king of Shu got busy again, and at the end of the year, he was free. Before he went out for a month, Baozhu didn’t see him for a whole month. In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year. A little restless, always thinking about when he will come back.

Zhao Chen came back just the day before New Year's Eve. As usual, he went directly to see Bao Zhu without notifying anyone.

The moment she looked at him, Baozhu's heart beat faster, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she was thrown into his arms, "Your Highness, you are back."

Zhao Chen also missed her so much, the faint scent of her body in his nostrils made him a little dazed, and during the month he was away, all he missed was her.

The two stayed in the room for a whole day, and the next day was New Year's Eve, the Governor's Mansion was very busy, even if Zhao Chen was impatient with those concubines, he would have a reunion dinner with them.

The reunion was at night, and Baozhu gave orders one by one, and invited dancers to help.

In the hall, Zhao Chen and Baozhu were sitting at the top, each with a small dining table, and below were two side concubines, four concubines and noble concubines.

Baozhu hadn't seen these concubines for half a month, and they were all well-dressed, everyone said a few auspicious words, and the reunion dinner began.

Baozhu seemed to be a little absent-minded when she saw Cailian below. Normally, if she could see His Highness, her eyes would always be on His Highness, but this time she couldn't help but search around.

While eating, suddenly there was a dancer in red among the dancers below. She danced gracefully, with a red veil on her face, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looking forward to the bright, looking at the King of Shu next to the orb.

Only then did Baozhu see that the dancer's eyebrows and eyes were quite familiar, and she took a closer look, isn't this Bai Jingniang?

I couldn't help laughing in my heart, all the women in the mansion were staring at the King of Shu.

After Bai Jingniang was brought to Luling, she was not able to serve Baozhu and the King of Shu closely, but was arranged by Baozhu to do a light job in the outer courtyard. Baozhu almost forgot about her in the past few months. I really did not expect such a sudden arrival. out.Baozhu couldn't help but glanced sideways at the King of Shu, his brows frowned, his good appetite seemed to be gone, he casually threw the silver chopsticks on the seat, and suddenly got up, "Forget it, I'm full, you guys Eat slowly."

After all, he lifted his foot and walked out.Bai Jingniang's figure immediately froze in place.

Of course, Baozhu couldn't leave people here like he did. She is the mistress of the palace, and these concubines must come under her control.

After finally waiting for everyone to finish eating, Baozhu asked people to disperse, and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, if you want to go out of the house, you only need to report to the housekeeper and you can go out, but be careful, remember to bring some Maid and mother-in-law."

Knowing that King Shu was not full, Baozhu went to the kitchen and made a bowl of noodles for him.

Knowing that he was in Mo'an's courtyard, Baozhu took the food box and went back to the room, and saw that he was lying on the imperial concubine's couch and closed his eyes to rest.

He has been traveling for a month, and he is probably very tired. Baozhu didn't dare to disturb him, and just sat aside and looked at him. His facial features are outstanding, as if carved by a knife. He will close his eyes, and he usually looks a little bit The calm and peaceful face on the arrogant face made Bao Zhu feel soft in her heart.

After staring at him for a long while, Baozhu couldn't help but bowed her head and kissed the corner of his lips, and was about to get up to leave, but was suddenly hugged into his arms by him.

Baozhu smiled happily in the arms of the King of Shu, "Your Highness, are you awake? You must have not eaten just now, and my concubine ordered a bowl of noodles. Would you like to eat some while it's hot?"
