The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 42

The girls in the Rong Mansion are all grown up, and they have two daughter-in-laws. Every few months on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar new year, Di Shi will take the Rong family's female relatives to the temple to offer incense.

Baozhu nodded. I met a wild boar on the way to the temple last year. Since then, I must take Xiaoba with me every time I go to the temple. I don’t care about it when I go. Let it move freely, and I can hunt a lot every time. In the eyes of the Rong Mansion, Xiao Ba has almost become half of the family. At first, Duke Zhen didn’t like Baozhu raising an animal, but later he liked Xiao Ba more and more. He would come to see it on weekdays. , Even when he has something to go hunting, he will bring Xiaoba with him.

After a while, the female teacher came and checked the homework first. Baozhu is the slowest learner among them. Others can finish it in one hour. She needs two hours. She may not be smart, but she is a few sisters In front of the one who works the hardest, the husband also likes her the most.

Passed the teacher's inspection smoothly, everyone continued to attend class, Baozhu listened very carefully, and wrote down everything he didn't understand with a pen, and was going to ask his sisters after class.

During the break at noon, Mrs. Cen came to Baozhu's yard, and began to criticize Baozhu as soon as she came, "You are really a girl, you take care of everything that mother gave you, why did you cheated me by your fifth brother again?" Your Fifth Brother deserves it right, he never does anything serious, and he almost pissed me off!" Mrs. Cen really broke her heart because of this son, the other children are obviously smart and well-behaved, but this cleverness is useless On the crooked way.

Baozhu held Cen's arm and said affectionately, "Mother, I gave it to Fifth Brother, not Fifth Brother tricked me from me, don't worry, Fifth Brother is still young, he will grow up." She couldn't help but think of Fifth Brother a few years later. She couldn't help but grasp Cen's arm. Fifth Brother is still young. She really hopes that Fifth Brother will learn well in the next few years. , Don't be such an asshole, she must be on guard against that matter a few years later, and she must not let that woman ruin Fifth Brother!

Cen couldn't help touching Baozhu's smooth face, such a delicate daughter has such a heart, and she doesn't know who will marry her favorite pearl in the future.

The mother and daughter had a conversation, and Cen bought another 1000 taels of silver into Baozhu's small treasury. It's gone." The banknotes deposited in the past few years are at least tens of thousands of taels, not to mention the jewelry.

But Mrs. Cen insisted, "Your girl's family will be spoiled and raised, and you will go to the temple tomorrow. You can just buy whatever you like on the way, and the silver lady can still afford it."

However, Cen really knows how to make money, and his net worth has at least doubled several times a few years ago. I don't know how many people in the capital envy Fourth Master Rong for marrying such a golden phoenix.

Early the next morning, Baozhu got up and told the maids to tidy up. It was summer and she really didn't want to wear a veil, so she just took a golden silk veil to cover her mouth and nose.

Nowadays, girls in the capital are like this. After all, it’s a daughter’s house. Those who show their faces outside can’t be seen by others, so this kind of veil and veiled hats are popular. You can almost see the street like this when you go out. Girls with veils.But this is only on the street, and this is not the case for banquets for female relatives in general inner houses.

Baozhu's skin is fair. On weekdays, maids like to wear all kinds of red clothes for her. The skin that always complements it becomes more delicate. It is not easy to wear such bright colors when going to the temple. skirt, and only a green emerald hairpin stuck in her head.

To bring Xiao Ba, plus seven girls, four wives, and one lady, the three carriages seemed a little crowded, so four carriages were sent.Baozhu, Xiaoba, Haizhu and Mingzhu were in a carriage. The three sisters naturally had nothing to say about their relationship. They talked and laughed all the way out of the city and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The incense in this Ping'an Temple is very prosperous. At the beginning, Cen Shi came here to ask for the pearls. The jade was given by the eminent monk of this temple, but since that year, Cen Shi has never seen the eminent monk again. According to the temple The little monk said that he had traveled all over the world.

Over the years, the Cen family would come to this temple every once in a while to offer incense and present a large sum of money for sesame oil, so everyone in the temple recognized the Rong family.

If you want to go to the temple to offer incense, you can't get on the horse-drawn carriage on the mountain road, so you can only walk.There are dense forests on both sides of the road. Fortunately, there are many people on the first day of the new year, so I won't be so afraid.

On the other hand, some people stayed away when they saw Xiao Ba along the way. It was because Xiao Ba was a bit bigger, as tall as a grown woman's waist, with big bones, which looked a bit scary.

Xiao Ba didn't care at all about the strange eyes on the way, and slowly followed behind Baozhu.

After a group of people managed to climb up to the temple, Di Shi brought all the Rong family's female relatives to burn incense and added sesame oil money.

Mrs. Cen saw that there was a lottery stand at the door, so she dragged her three daughters to ask for a lottery. Haizhu Mingzhu asked for a lottery. Mingzhu was only thirteen, and Haizhu was only twelve. Cen didn't plan to do that. If they had arranged a marriage for them earlier, what they were asking about was not their marriage, but their fortune in the past two years.

Both daughters are good, and Cen let Baozhu hold a stick and shake a stick out. The old monk who unwrapped the lot took a look, then looked up at Baozhu, and couldn't help saying, "How about the little benefactor stretch out his hand?" , is the old monk showing you palm reading?"

Baozhu glanced at Cen, Cen nodded, Baozhu stretched out his hand, the old monk looked at Baozhu's face again, and then fell silent.

Cen was a little anxious, "Master, how is my youngest daughter? What's on the stick?"

The master said, "Don't worry about the benefactor, it's a good lottery. As for the other things, it's inconvenient for me to tell you. I just look at the face of the little benefactor. It's a rich and honorable appearance. Don't worry about it."

This is half and half of what she said, how could Cen not be worried, it goes without saying that her daughter is rich and honored, the money she earns will be enough for her daughter to eat and drink in ten lifetimes, so she is naturally rich, but what else?What is the fate of the future?
The master didn't want to say any more, Cen could only take three children to Di's side, and Di wanted to take a few daughters-in-law to the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures, so he let the girls rest in the backyard of the temple.

There were many people in the temple, and the girls obediently rested in the room, waiting for Di Shi to finish their work.

While the sisters were talking, Xiao Ba's cry sounded outside. Bao Zhu went out to look and found some wild game lying in the yard.

Baozhu was startled, "Xiao Ba, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ba turned back and called twice, and continued to walk forward with the corner of Baozhu's skirt in his mouth. Baozhu knew that it might have found something, so he asked himself to go and have a look.

Mingzhu behind him said, "Seventh sister, what's wrong with Xiaoba?"

Baozhu turned her head and said, "Xiao Ba probably saw something, let me go over and have a look, I'll go back when I go." Saying that, she followed Xiao Ba out of the courtyard and walked all the way towards the back mountain.

Baozhu has a big heart and is not afraid of encountering wolves, tigers and leopards, so she followed Xiaoba around the back mountain for half an hour, and the woods became more and more dense, Baozhu said, "Xiaoba, are you here yet?"

Xiao Ba groaned twice, walked around a towering ancient tree and stopped. Before he walked over, Baozhu smelled a strong smell of blood, and walked quickly with a thud in his heart. Looking at a person, the clothes on his body have been soaked in blood, and the color is completely invisible.

The injured boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, his face was pale and his lips were blue, but he still couldn't stop the boy's good looks.When Baozhu took a closer look, she couldn't help getting up and down in her heart. She still knew this man, but he was the king of Shu.

After hesitating for a while, Baozhu went forward and squatted down to check. The King of Shu suffered a knife wound. The wound ran from the left chest to the side of the waist. The wound was bloody and bloody. It seemed that it must have been injured not long ago.Baozhu couldn't help being a little soft-hearted, wondering who was so cruel, to hit a teenage boy so hard.

Xiao Ba was also surprised, after bringing the orb over, he sniffed it around, and then wandered away.

Feeling that the King of Shu's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, Baozhu couldn't bear it, took out the handkerchief and wiped the blood on her chest, in her mind, the milky white liquid overflowed from the palm of her hand, it looked a little more than when she was a child, About twenty drops were applied to his wound all at once, and the effect was quick, the wound stopped the bleeding.

Baozhu heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a scar on the chest of the King of Shu in his previous life. In this way, he would not be able to die without her saving the King of Shu. Thinking about it, Baozhu felt sorry for the lotion just now. After a few years, she only saved a bottle of lotion about half the size of a palm.

Seeing that King Shu's breathing became more and more smooth, Baozhu was about to leave, but turned around and saw Xiao Ba! !

Baozhu was a little silly, she yelled a few words loudly, startled a lot of birds, and was afraid that the person who chased the King of Shu would be called, so she could only shut her mouth, and sat beside the King of Shu, waiting for Xiao Ba to come back.She still knows Xiao Ba very well, Xiao Ba will not leave her alone in this kind of place for no reason, I am afraid that there are other things.

Speaking of which, Xiaoba is so smart that sometimes Baozhu thinks it looks like a human being. Baozhu also knows that this is probably because of the lotion. Xiaoba needs to use a drop of lotion on average every day.

After waiting for about half an hour, the King of Shu hadn't woken up yet, but his breathing became smoother and smoother. He heard the sound of dead leaves in the distance. When Baozhu looked up, he saw Xiao Ba running over with something in his mouth. .

Baozhu took a closer look, her glasses were wide open, and Xiao Ba actually had a ginseng dangling from his mouth, which was no worse in appearance than the one that Mrs. Cen gave to her aunt a few years ago.

Baozhu stammered a little, "Xiao...Xiao Ba, where did you get this thing?" She knew that this thing was hard to come by, and she might not even be able to buy it with money.Cen's root was also bought by coincidence with 10 taels of silver. It was just that one, and it died after being saved by my aunt.

Baozhu remembered that Xiao Ba had smelled ginseng a few days ago, but it was only a few decades old ginseng. At that time, she teased Xiao Ba that she should remember this smell, which is a good thing.If it is not really remembered?
