The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 48

Mrs. Zhang has also learned to be smart over the years. It can be seen that Jing Henghou loves this granddaughter very much. He took off a red gold pomegranate bracelet on his wrist and put it on Baozhu's wrist with a smile. It's the first time you came to our house after you grew up, and grandma didn't have anything to give you, so you just take this bracelet, it's my grandma's kindness to you."

Baozhu said with a smile, "Thank you, grandma."

Jing Henghou's expression became more relaxed, and he turned his head and said warmly to Zhang Shi, "You greet the guests well, I'll go there first, don't be tired, and you don't need to do everything yourself, let the maids and women worry more about it." .”

Mrs. Zhang was flattered, "Master, I understand."

Jing Henghou left, but the women's relatives continued here. They were all relatives, and they had something to say when they talked. Besides, the in-laws Jing Henghou chose for his children were very outstanding. , and won't say anything nonsense.

When it was time to eat, the elders were at the same table, the girls and the young wives were at the same table, Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Today is a big day, I made some fruit wine in Qianer's mansion. It tastes sour and sweet. It's very good. Come, everyone." Try it."

One of them poured a cup, and Baozhu took a sip. The taste was really sour and sweet, which was very good.Suddenly, her heart moved. External use of her lotion can make the skin smooth, hair soft and shiny, and eliminate scars, but internal use can nourish the body.The relatives she likes, grandfather, uncle, aunt, cousin, cousin, and aunt cannot live together after all, and I also hope that they can be healthy.When I saw my grandfather a few years ago, his figure was still tall and straight, but now he is much older, so why not make some fruit wine by himself, which can be given to these relatives she loves to recuperate, but the lotion will not be exposed.

Although the fruit wine was good, it was still a bit strong. Baozhu drank a few more glasses, and her head became a little dizzy, so she was made a joke by the elders.

In the afternoon, everyone else left first, and only the Rong family stayed to chat with Jing Henghou. We are all a family, so there is no distinction between men and women. Jing Henghou asked someone to tidy up the yard , everyone sat down, Baozhu sat next to Mrs. Cen, her face flushed.

Jing Henghou couldn't help laughing and said, "Could this little girl be greedy and drink too much fruit wine? Will she get dizzy?"

Cen smiled and said, "No, this girl has no resistance to delicious food and drink."

Baozhu's wine is quite good, and she doesn't talk nonsense at the moment, she just sits quietly and obediently.

Mrs. Zhang asked people to serve tea and snacks, and greeted everyone to drink tea and snacks.While everyone was talking, the youngest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, gave the hair oil, rouge and gouache given to Ms. Zhang when she married Baozhu, and said with a smile, "Mother, this is Baozhu's heart, and she made it with her own hands. The effect is very good, and I specially saved some for my mother."

Cen Zhilu sneered, she didn't dare to say anything in front of Jing Henghou.

Zhang's heart was sour, and thinking about her daughter's complaints, she couldn't hold back, and hesitated, "This child is really expensive, but Baozhu is a child after all, this thing?"

Baozhu is only dizzy, but her mind is still clear, thinking that the step-grandmother and the little aunt are really mother and daughter, and they all say the same thing, and they all suspect that there is something wrong with her things, hmph, if the fruit wine is brewed, she will not Give it to these two mothers and daughters.She loves her relatives, but she doesn't feel sorry for these two people.

Jing Henghou's expression remained unchanged, he just extended his hand to Mrs. Zhang, "In that case, give me this thing."

Mrs. Zhang was worried, not knowing what Jing Henghou was going to do. He passed the things in his hand to Jing Henghou, but he didn't want Jing Henghou to get the things and directly gave them to Cen's sister Cen Ying, "Since your mother If you don’t like to use this, you can take it home and use it, it’s Baozhu’s wish after all, I think this thing should be very good.”

Cen Ying said happily, "Thank you so much, mother. I heard from my sister that the orbs are very well made, and they are very effective when used."

Even Mrs. Gao couldn't help helping Baozhu this time, "That's right, the effect of this thing is really good, otherwise Baozhu wouldn't be given to you. It's a pity that my wife doesn't need it."

Mrs. Zhang blushed from the fuss, so she didn't dare to talk casually afterwards.Because of Zhang's embarrassment, Cen Zhi became more and more ruthless about the Rong family, thinking in her heart how to overwhelm the Rong family.

When it got dark, the Rong family made a carriage and went back to the Duke's Mansion.

In the following days, after class, Baozhu studied how to brew fruit wine. The picking and cleaning of the fruit were helped by the maids, but she did it alone when brewing. She was always very careful when it came to lotion. Even the most trusted maid would not let her stay by her side.

After a few days, Gao made a few bottles of hair oil, and the rouge water powder came out. As soon as Gao came out, Gao knew something was wrong, the taste was wrong, and the texture was not right.The angry Gao smashed the things on the spot, "Okay, that little fool dared to play tricks, even dared to lie to me."

Rong Yanzhu couldn't look down on her mother's philistine appearance, and persuaded her, "Mother, why do you insist on something from the fourth bedroom? How could they give you the prescription for this thing? Just give up on this idea, I don't think Baozhu has any If you have the guts to lie to you, it might be the fourth aunt's idea. If it wasn't for your father's persuasion, the shop would have changed its sign. Mother, I advise you not to provoke the fourth bedroom, or even the last bit of business. It will also be calculated by the fourth aunt."

Gao said bitterly, "I was just thinking about how that little fool would lie to me. It seems that it was the idea of ​​the woman in the fourth room. Tell me why she is so partial and generous to Ke'er's daughter-in-law. Ke'er and I The maid next to the daughter-in-law inquired and found that Ke's daughter-in-law's monthly dividends are as much as a thousand taels of silver. The woman in the fourth room is really vicious. A loose hand is enough for us to live, but she refuses. No, I want Go to her and find out!"

Rong Yanzhu persuaded, "Mother, why bother?"

Gao didn't listen to the persuasion at all, and left in a hurry, Rong Yanzhu sighed, counting the days, it seems that grandfather will have an accident early next year, and then they will be their second wife.She remembered that Di Shi accused Erfang An of framing her brother, so where did she find the evidence?Now it's time for her to think about herself.

Mrs. Gao went to Baozhu's yard, and Mrs. Cen was there. Mrs. Gao went up and scolded, "Sister and sister, you are so cruel. You just don't want to give me the prescription. Why bother Baozhu with a fake prescription to deceive me? Do you want to cut off the last bit of money from my shop, why are you so cruel, we are sisters-in-law."

Cen sneered, "It is precisely because I am a sister-in-law that I will give you a way out. If you don't know what to do again, just watch!"

Gao was shocked for a moment, but he was still a little unwilling, "Sister and sister, why bother, you are not greedy for the white money? Forget it this time, as long as you let the orb be given to Fang Zi, how about we still earn a piece of money?" ?”

Cen also stopped talking to her, and directly called her mother-in-law to get Gao out, and said harshly, "If you are messing around, I will tell your aunt about the good things you have done!"

Although Mrs. Gao was born by her aunt, she lived under her aunt for a few years. That aunt is really ruthless. If you really know that she did such a thing that hurt the reputation of the girls from the Gao family, maybe it will How to treat her.In the end, I still dare not say anything more.

When Gao Shi left, Baozhu said apologetically, "Mother, it's all my fault, I shouldn't be soft-hearted."

Cen smiled and said, "My son is still young, just learn it slowly. Mother will tell you today that you must not soften your heart towards people like your second aunt, even if your relatives raise some embarrassments to you in the future." You have to refuse the request, understand?"

"Mother, I understand." Baozhu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, because she was stupid. If she had refused firmly at the beginning, mother would not have been pestered by the second aunt like this.In the future, when she does things, she will definitely think carefully in her heart, and she must not implicate her family anymore.

Cen smiled and said, "Okay, don't think too much, just remember, you are our family's treasure, with us protecting you, no one can bully you." Cen suddenly remembered something, " I heard from the maids what kind of fruit wine are you brewing?"

Baozhu smiled embarrassedly, "I think the fruit wine from my grandfather's house tastes very good, so I want to brew it for my parents to taste."

Cen said with a smile, "You girl has a heart."

The mother and daughter had a conversation, and Cen suddenly said, "There will be a palace banquet in a few days, and the queen mother asked all the family members to bring the girls into the palace. Baozhu, mother thinks that you might as well forget it at home. If you say you are unwell, the queen mother will not blame you." After all, I still don't want my daughter to meet the prince.

Last year, the prince was canonized as a prince.

Baozhu would like to go out to play, but she doesn't want to enter the palace. She doesn't want to meet the prince and the king of Shu, so she nodded hurriedly, "Mother, it's okay. I don't want to enter the palace either. I'm too tight."

"Now that you're grown up, Mother doesn't want to keep everything from you." Cen sighed, "This is neither the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, nor is it a special day, it's just an ordinary palace banquet. The purpose of female relatives entering the palace is to choose concubines for the king of Shu and to show concubines to the prince. I don't want the girls of the Rong family to enter the palace. Life in the harem is not easy, and my mother doesn't want you to be favored by them, so That's why I don't want you to enter the palace."

Hearing her mother tell the king of Shu and the crown prince to see the concubine, Baozhu suddenly remembered an incident in her previous life, her heart skipped a beat and she broke out in a cold sweat.She didn't remember it when she saw her little aunt in the Hou Mansion a few days ago.In her previous life, she woke up next year, and when she woke up, she heard a happy event from the servant girl in the mansion, that is, her little aunt went to the palace to be the emperor's concubine.

At that time, she only heard what the maids said, and she thought it was a happy event. How could she know that she would hear resentment and helplessness on her mother's face when she mentioned it later. She still remembered what her mother said to her father, "I don't want her to have such a big heart, the Queen Mother It was just to choose a concubine for the King of Shu and the crown prince, but she was so good that she went to seduce the emperor, and now she went to the palace to be the emperor's concubine after the draft, it was really embarrassing for the Cen family, and my father was so angry."

If you think about it this way, isn't the little aunt taking advantage of this time entering the palace to flirt with the emperor, next year will be the day of the draft every three years, won't the little aunt enter the palace next year and become the emperor's concubine?

It's okay to be a concubine in the palace, but the little aunt has troubled many people.
