The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 56

Cen said with a smile, "I'm very energetic today, why did you think of dressing up like this? But your little girl should be dressed like this, she looks so energetic and beautiful."

Baozhu smiled and took Cen's arm, "Since I'm going to see my sister-in-law, I should dress up better."

Cen felt that her daughter was a little younger, and she might not be able to see anything, so she called Mingzhu up. As soon as Mingzhu came, she laughed when she saw Baozhu's appearance, and said softly, "Young lady, you should dress up more. dress up."

The three of them got into the carriage and went straight to the Su Mansion. Today, all the ladies and wives from aristocratic families in the capital are invited. These banquets are nothing more than such a process. Bring some news, listen to some news, talk about the affairs of the back house, and replace them. Son and daughter look at each other's daughter-in-law and son-in-law.

The Su family had intended to marry the Cen family, and Mrs. Su Liu personally greeted them outside. When they saw the three people getting off the carriage, they greeted them with smiles, "Mrs. , yo, this is the pearl of your family..." Mrs. Su paused, she has seen Haizhu before, not to mention Haizhu, she has seen all the other girls in the Rong family, the beautiful girl with white skin behind But she hadn't seen it before, and she didn't realize it at all, she just thought it was a relative of the Cen family or she said, "This...is this?"

Cen said with a smile, "It's my Xiaoqi. This girl didn't go out often before, and she doesn't know many people. I'm afraid Mrs. Su has never seen her."

Baozhu obediently stepped forward and called for someone.

Mrs. Liu responded with two oh-oh-ohhs, but her mind was still a little unresponsive, and she only brought a few people into the mansion.It took a while to regain consciousness, holding Baozhu's hand and said with a smile, "This girl looks so likable, if my son is still too young, I will definitely snatch this girl to be my daughter-in-law."

The Liu family has a daughter and a son, the daughter Su Qingxia is fifteen years old, and the son is only five or six years old.Although there are still some concubines and concubines, how can they be compared with the daughters of the Rong family?Naturally, Mrs. Liu would not do such a stupid thing, and she didn't mention the rumors, so she just led a few people into the yard.

When they arrived in the courtyard, the wives and wives were amazed when they heard Baozhu's appearance, and they all held Baozhu's hand and said that they had wronged her.

After a while, the wives were enjoying flowers and having tea in the yard, and the girls asked Su Qingxia to lead them to drink tea and eat snacks in the house. Today, many girls came, Baozhu pulled Mingzhu to sit next to Su Qingxia, Baozhu turned around He and Su Qingxia showed a big smile, and called Sister Su.

Su Qingxia's eyes swept over Baozhu quickly, and her smile grew wider, "Sister Baozhu, you should come out and walk more at this kind of banquet in the future, and give those who spread rumors about you a good face!"

Baozhu smiled and said, "It's okay, I can't become fat and ugly just because they said it. I didn't come out before because I was a little weak. I've gotten better in the past few years, and I can come out with my mother and sister." It's a reward."

One of the girls saw the embroidered shoes with the pearls exposed, and couldn't help but said, "Sister Baozhu, where did you get the pearls on your embroidered shoes? I also want to find a pair of pearls like this to make a pair of embroidered shoes, but these pearls are too precious. I searched for it, but couldn’t find it.”

Baozhu laughed and said, "Mother found them, only three pairs. Sister Mingzhu and Sister Haizhu and I made embroidered shoes one by one. I heard it's easier to find them in the South China Sea. It's a bit difficult in the capital."

The girl's expression is frank, not even a bit greedy, this girl's family is also rich, and she is always supported by the rich, she only has envy for these things, not jealous or greedy.

Su Qingxia's heart tightened, and she felt a little uncomfortable. They were also daughters of aristocratic families. They were raised by the rich, and her mother always raised her poorly.

"Sister Su, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Su Qingxia's sad look, Baozhu couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Is sister not feeling well?"

"No problem." Su Qingxia raised her head and smiled, "I just thought of something. By the way, sister Baozhu..." Su Qingxia smiled and took off a pair of red gold silk bracelets from her wrists and handed them to Baozhu. "It's the first time we meet today." , you must give your sister some gifts, and you should not dislike her."

Baozhu took it, "How can I dislike my sister's wishes?"

It was the first time for everyone to see Baozhu, and she was also the youngest among them, so they all took the jewelry on their bodies and gave it to her.

Mingzhu smiled and said, "She has become a little rich woman after coming out."

Su Qingxia smiled and said, "It's the first time for everyone to see Sister Baozhu, so naturally they love her very much. Maybe Mingzhu is still delicious."

The girls who were provoked by the words all laughed.

While the girls were talking, Su Qingxia glanced at the jewelry on Baozhu's body, her expression darkened, and she swore that she would marry into the fourth wife of the Rong family. She had had enough of this hard life!

The girls started chatting about jewellery, but Su Qingxia couldn't get in the conversation, she silently smiled apologetically, her eyes still turned around Baozhu a few times intentionally or unintentionally.

Be it Baozhu, she always reveals the exquisite and expensive jewelry on her body intentionally or unintentionally, and the girls' conversations are also going around on these. Baozhu saw Su Qingxia's gaze on her jewelry, and knew the purpose of today's visit has been reached.

After dinner in the Su Mansion, Cen returned home with her two children. In the carriage, Cen asked with a smile, "What do you think of Miss Su? I thought she was very nice, polite and generous during the meal." ,dignified."

There must be nothing wrong with Su Qingxia's manners. Cen Shi just looked at her expression and thought that this girl was not bad.

Mingzhu shook her head, "Mother, Sister Su is good in these aspects, but what is it... I saw her eyes falling on Baozhu's jewelry several times just now, and I feel that something is wrong."

Baozhu was surprised, "What is she looking at my jewelry for? If I had known, I would have given her something different. Just now, Sister Su gave me a pair of bracelets."

When Cen heard this, she was silent for a while, "It's nothing, the girl's family has no resistance to beautiful jewelry. I heard that the Su family is very strict in raising their children. Miss Su is young, so she doesn't like these things. There's nothing like liking."

Mingzhu shook her head, "I don't think it's right. A girl's family must be rich. Miss Su will definitely have no resistance to money in the future. Other girls are just envious when they see Baozhu's jewelry, but I see what is in Miss Su's eyes. It has a different meaning... Our family is different from other families. The money earned by my mother is enough to make people jealous. My mother doted on our three sisters since childhood. The furniture and jewelry in our room are all valuables. Liancheng, if Miss Su gets married, she will be dissatisfied sooner or later. Mother, this marriage is not satisfactory."

Baozhu thinks that Fourth Sister really sees blood for a while!

It is obvious that Cen is not stupid to be able to support four rooms. Knowing that what Mingzhu said is reasonable, she said with a smile, "Fortunately, I brought you out to meet today. If that is the case, the girl of the Su family can forget it, and I am giving it to your fourth brother." Pick one, I have a few others here."

Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief, but knew that there was still a battle to be fought, and she must stick to her mother and fourth brother tightly these few days.

After returning to the Rong Mansion, Mrs. Cen told Mrs. Di about the matter, and Mrs. Di said, "Mingzhu is right, this kind of girl will not have any resistance to money in the future. Such a thing is absolutely impossible. Pick other girls. There is no rush to pick a daughter-in-law, you have to choose a good one who can support the family."

Cen nodded, "I'm going to let someone inquire about the other girls."

Di Shi laughed and said, "I just saw that Baozhu is very well dressed like this. A girl always wears some beautiful jewelry on her body. This little girl finally got the hang of it."

Baozhu was also afraid of being suspected by her mother, so she would choose some exquisite jewelry to wear every day, and Cen felt that her daughter was more and more beautiful.

After doing homework today, Rong Lang and Rong Ting came to visit Baozhu, as soon as Rong Ting came, he ran towards Xiao Ba, and after a while led Xiao Ba to the front main room.Baozhu pretended to be appreciative and said, "Fifth brother, so you came to see Xiao Ba, it seems that Xiao Ba is more important to you than me."

Xiao Ba hummed twice, ran over and licked Baozhu's palm.

Rong Rong also smiled and said, "Why are you jealous with a dog? You are my sister, and you are the one I love the most in my life..."

Looking at the carefree fifth elder brother, Baozhu felt sore in her heart, how could such a fifth elder brother fall out with his family because of an unruly girl in the future.She also knew that Fifth Brother had a stubborn temper since he was a child. He always felt that his mother was in charge of him, and he was not persuaded, and his temper was not strong enough. up.

Baozhu smiled and said, "My quilt also loves my elder brothers, sisters, and parents the most. From now on, my elder brother is not allowed to do anything that hurts the hearts of the family."

Rong Cheng couldn't help it, and squeezed Baozhu's white and tender face with his hands, "What are you talking about, little girl, I will never do anything to hurt your hearts in my life, you are the people I love the most."

Fourth brother Rong Lang said with a headache, "Fifth brother and seventh sister are grown up, don't pinch her cheeks anymore, it's so decent for outsiders to see."

The brothers and sisters chatted for a while, and Baozhu asked the fourth brother about next year's autumn, Rong Lang smiled and said, "The preparations are almost done, there should be no problem."

Baozhu asked Rongcheng again, "Fifth brother, after taking the imperial examination, the fourth brother will enter the Imperial Academy like father, and he can become a high-ranking official when he comes out. What about the fifth brother? What plans does the fifth brother have in the future?"

"Me." Rong Rong stroked his chin, "I haven't thought about it yet, now that I'm young, who cares about those things, let's have fun first and then talk about it."

Baozhu said, "Fifth brother, how can this be done? You are now eleven, you are not young, you should think about the future, and you can't let your parents worry about it. A few days ago, when I saw General Duanmu enter the capital, he was really majestic." Great, I heard that General Duanmu made a lot of contributions in guarding the border. I saw that the fifth brother was not inferior to General Duanmu at all. The most powerful kung fu in Rongfu is the fifth brother. Naturally, the fifth brother's archery skills are also speechless. I think If Fifth Brother is willing to go to the military camp, his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to General Duanmu's."

Rong Cheng also felt that being stuck in the mansion to study every day would be better than going to the border to fight a war. If he got along well, Seventh Sister would admire him even more.

Rong Lang also felt that Seventh Sister's suggestion was good.

Baozhu laughed and said, "Didn't Brother Wu always like Xiao Ba very much? If Brother [-] likes it, he can take Xiao Ba with him. Xiao Ba's sense of taste and smell are much more sensitive than ordinary dogs. Xiao Ba can fight well." Wild boar, if you take it with you, it will definitely help you a lot. Besides, if Fifth Brother gets military service and becomes a general, I'm afraid my parents will be very happy."
