The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 138

Baozhu felt a little bitter and uncomfortable, took Ayu's hand and sat down, "Sit down quickly, let's have a good chat, we haven't seen each other for a year. How are you in the capital?"

Chu Yu sat down next to Baozhu, feeling both happy and sad, "Everything is fine, Mingchuan's body has recovered, and now he is working as Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Rites."

Baozhu was stunned for a moment, logically speaking Ayu is a princess, and it is difficult for Ming Chuan to hold a real position in the officialdom as a son-in-law. Chu Yu saw her doubts and smiled, "I am just a princess now, it is me and The emperor asked for it, so Mingchuan can be easier in the officialdom."

Baozhu knew in her heart that Ayu really liked Brother Sheng, and she could do this for him.

Baozhu didn't mention this matter anymore, and she didn't ask much about the matter between Ayu and Brother Sheng, she just chatted with Ayu about other things, the smiles on Ayu's face gradually increased, and she was teased by Baozhu after a while giggled.

Baozhu seemed to have seen the lively Ayu again, and was stunned for a moment, "Ayu, you look so pretty when you smile."

These words made Chu Yu even happier. She couldn't help pinching Bao Zhu's cheek, "Compared to your face, I can be considered pretty at best." I touched it twice.Baozhu smiled and let her hold it.

Chu Yu stayed at the Rong's house for a day, and did not return to the Sheng's house until it was getting dark.

Although Mrs. Zhongyi didn't like Baozhu, she was extremely satisfied with Chu Yu, and seeing that she was willing to lower her status for her son, she was even more grateful to her, and felt wronged by her.Mrs. Uncle Zhongyi knew that her son still had treasures in her heart. Maybe her son hadn't touched this daughter-in-law in the past two or three years after he got married. She felt really wronged for her daughter-in-law. grandson.

Such a good person is not a hundred times stronger than Baozhu, she hoped that it would be too late for her son to wake up.

Knowing that Chu Yu went to see Baozhu, Mrs. Zhongyi was not annoyed, she said with a smile, "Is dinner available? Do you want to go back to your room after dinner?"

Chu Yu said softly, "Not yet, is my husband ready for dinner? If not, I will go back to my room with my husband."

Madam Zhongyi nodded, and ordered the servant girl to bring all the food to her son's room.

Chu Yu went back to the room first to freshen up, the joy of chatting with Baozhu has not dissipated, and there is still a very vivid smile on her face at this moment.

Sheng Mingchuan heard the sound of the door knocking, and when he looked up, he saw the smile on Chu Yu's face, and was a little stunned for a while.But he didn't expect that the moment Chu Yu saw him, her smile immediately restrained and turned into a decent and dignified soft smile, "My husband, the servant girl will bring dinner later, I will go to Rongfu to see Baozhu today, Now I feel a little uncomfortable, go to wash up first, and tell my husband after I go out."

Sheng Mingchuan nodded, feeling a little bored for some reason, but clearly knew that it wasn't because of hearing the orb, but something else.

After Chu Yu came out, she told Sheng Mingchuan about Baozhu's recent situation, saying that she looked fine. After a while, the maid brought in the dinner, and the two ate in silence. Sheng Mingchuan went to the study, and Chu Yu fell asleep. .

Staring at the goose-yellow nine-fold gauze curtain, Chu Yu's eyes felt a little sore, and after a while she closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

It's only the beginning of July, and Baozhu didn't plan to leave until mid-August. The weather in the capital is much hotter than in the northwest, so Baozhu hid in her room all day and didn't go out. She took advantage of this gap to make a lot of fruit wine In Rongfu, I also sent a lot to the Sheng family, and several sisters' homes.

Seeing that it was almost mid-August, and the weather was finally not so hot, Baozhu set off back to Luling. When she left, she was naturally tearful, reluctant to part with her parents and her family.

No matter how reluctant she was, she was about to leave. She staggered away for more than a month until October and finally returned to Luling. His Highness was not in the mansion.

Fudong has been the housekeeper for the past few months, but as soon as Baozhu came back, she immediately handed over the jade card to Baozhu, and also explained all the general affairs of the mansion in the past few months. There is nothing special about it, Baozhu nodded He made it clear, and gave Fudong a lot of rewards.

Fudong hesitated for a while, but still said in a hoarse voice, "Princess, during your absence, Bai Jingniang came to the main courtyard a few times, and seemed to pretend to meet His Highness by chance, but was stopped by the maids in the mansion."

Baozhu snorted, "How about this, you send someone down to investigate and see if there is any suitable family in Luling City for marriage."

Fudong was startled, knowing that the princess was going to marry Bai Jingniang, she nodded and went down.

Within two days of winter, I found out several houses in Luling City that were suitable for marriage. One was a merchant, one was an officer and soldier in the city, one was a clerk in the yamen, and there was a scholar who was also twenty years old and had just died. wife.

Baozhu felt that these couples were good enough to match Bai Jingniang, so she asked Fudong to call Bai Jingniang over.

Bai Jingniang has been forgotten by the princess and the king of Shu since she came to Luling. A few days ago, when the princess stopped visiting the main courtyard, she was stopped by others. I didn't expect the princess to call her when she came back. It is to transfer her to the inner courtyard, and I am very happy.

Baozhu saw people coming, and said with a smile, "You and I are old acquaintances. Unfortunately, you entered the palace as a slave, but there is no way out. Now I have found a few families for you. You can see what they like. If you like it Which one, I will give you a dowry and marry off in a glorious manner."

"Princess..." Bai Jingniang was stunned, "I...a servant only wants to stay in the palace to serve you and His Highness, and I don't want to marry, so I beg the concubine to help you."

Baozhu said, "Where is this possible? Could it be that you plan to be a slave in the palace for the rest of your life?"

"No matter what, this servant only wants to serve the concubine and His Highness well, and doesn't want to get married." Bai Jingniang thought to herself, how can she be a slave all her life? In the past few years in the palace, if she married out at this time, she would not be reconciled.

Baozhu said, "Serve me and Your Highness? There is no need for that. There are many servants in the Palace, and you are not missing. Besides, Your Highness and I have maids to serve you. If you stay in the Palace, you are just doing odd jobs in the outer courtyard." .Okay, these are the families I selected for you, let's see which one you like."

The maid immediately stepped forward and put some rice paper in front of Bai Jingniang.

Bai Jingniang didn't even look at it, she shook her head a few times, "This servant doesn't want to leave the palace, I beg the concubine to help me."

"Don't want to leave the palace?" Baozhu raised her eyebrows, feeling a little impatient in her heart, you don't want to be a good person, you must stay in the palace, well, since you want to stay in the palace, I will do what you want.

"Yes, the servants are unwilling to leave the palace."

Baozhu said, "Forget it, you go down."

Bai Jingniang felt relieved, thinking that the princess agreed, thinking, the princess is really soft-hearted, she agreed to this begging.

Bai Jingniang happily retreated.

Baozhu called Fudong again, and asked her to show her the deeds of the unmarried male servants in the mansion, and also attached portraits of these servants.

Baozhu picked out an average-looking servant who was doing odd jobs in the kitchen, and directly assigned Bai Jingniang to him.

She didn't inform Bai Jingniang this time either, she asked Fudong to do it, and within ten days, Bai Jingniang got married, and since then, she has continued to stay in the palace as a maid in the outer court, and the contract of prostitution is also returned. It's pinched in Baozhu's hand.

As soon as Bai Jingniang got married, the king of Shu came back, and Baozhu knew that he hadn't stayed in the mansion since he went to the capital.

When the king of Shu came back, it was in the middle of the night, and it was full of dust. As soon as he came back and saw the maid who was watching the night was kapok hibiscus, he knew that his princess was back. It's been almost half a year since I left, and Zhao Chen realized that he missed her so much.

Baozhu hummed twice, smelling a familiar smell, knowing that it was the King of Shu who came back, she didn't want to open her eyes, reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and said in a daze, "Your Highness, I'm sleepy."

Zhao Chen kissed the corner of her mouth, then gradually kissed her down, and asked in a hoarse voice, "I know that I'm back."

Baozhu said in a daze, "I can smell it."

Zhao Chen was provoked by her and wanted to laugh, "Smell it? Then tell me what I smell like."

what smell?Baozhu couldn't tell for a while, but everyone had a certain smell. The king of Shu smelled very good, with a faint scent of aloes, and some other smells, which made Baozhu hard to forget.

When the two of them had dinner early in the morning, Bao Zhu told Zhao Chen all about what happened to her when she returned to Beijing.

Zhao Chen listened quietly, asking a few questions from time to time.

A rare moment of warmth.

Zhao Chen will stay in Luling for about a month, and during this period of time he has a lot of leisure time, occasionally going to Yuhuayuan to deal with official business, and he has nothing to do this day, so he called Baozhu to go out for a walk.

It was already a bit windy in October, and the two of them didn't ride a horse, they went out directly in a carriage, without even bringing a maid with them, only a few guards.

Luling is the capital of the northwest, and it can be regarded as a bustling city in the northwest. After a morning of shopping, the two of them had lunch directly at a famous restaurant in the city. The taste was good, and they ate a lot of Baozhu.

Zhao Chen asked people to give a lot of rewards to the chef of the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhao Chen said with a smile, "Look at you, how about we take a walk, so that you won't feel uncomfortable in the carriage."

Just as Baozhu wanted, he nodded, and the two headed towards the Governor's Mansion.

When walking to the bustling street, Baozhu picked out a lot of things again, and picked out a strange-shaped black gemstone and said to Zhao Chen, "Look, sir, how about this gemstone? I'll see someone polish it and make it into a waist." Buckle is the best."

Zhao Chen nodded, "Not bad."
