The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 6

Cen's small jade bottles were found quite quickly, but within two days, they found three of them, all of which were carved from high-quality jadeite and suet jade. The largest one is half the size of a palm, with a round button carved on the cover. Among them, the jade vase of suet jade is half the size of a palm, with a leather ball pattern carved on the cover wall, double beast ring ears, and fretwork carved all over the body. The style is exquisite and beautiful.

The remaining two are carved from jadeite, smaller in size, with no complicated patterns on them, but the simplest patterns, and both have bottle caps.

After getting Rong Baozhu, she couldn't put it down. Seeing that she liked it, Cen said with a smile, "Since I like it, mother will go and find some more."

"Mother, that's enough." Three are enough, this jade bottle can hold hundreds of drops of lotion, and the larger suet jade bottle can hold thousands of drops.She only has a few drops of lotion in the palm of her hand a day, except for what she needs to use, it would be good if she can save a drop or two every day.

Speaking of which, Mother really dotes on her very much, and Mother will find her anything she wants, and any item in her house is worth more than a hundred taels, but her brothers and sisters don't get this kind of treatment.

The mother is the second daughter of Jing Henghou's family, and she has a brother and a sister of the same mother.Jing Henghou lost his wife in his early years and married Zhang, the continuation of the family. Zhang had a son and a daughter. After all, he was not mother's biological mother, so he treated mother not so well, but his uncle was several years older than his mother, and his grandmother passed away. When I was young, my uncle was already sensible, protecting my mother and aunt everywhere, and Jing Henghou was also sensible, so my mother and the others lived well.

When Mrs. Cen married Fourth Master Rong, Mrs. Zhang was not very happy. She felt that the Hou Mansion had made a move, and said that she wanted to find a suitable family for Mrs. Cen.It is not easy for Mrs. Cen to come forward about this matter. Uncle Cen Yu came forward and said to Mrs. Zhang, "My younger sister is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. What's wrong with us not being a householder? My sister is not too young, so why does my mother keep her in the mansion like this? Besides, my father has allowed this marriage, why is my mother still unwilling? It's because I think there is too much dowry Don't worry, mother, our mother left us a lot of dowry, and we will never wrong my sister."

This matter made Zhang very angry, and he didn't dare to complain to Jing Henghou, so he finally admitted it obediently.What made Mrs. Zhang most angry was that the dowry left by their three brothers and sisters' mothers was not ashamed to make up their own minds. Thinking of this, the Marquis should not give the dowry. Who would have thought that when Mrs. Cen got married, it would be paid by the public account of the mansion? Added a lot of dowry.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear it anymore, and complained to Jing Henghou, saying yes, "Master Hou, the second girl already has a lot of dowry when she gets married, and the expenses in the mansion these days are too much to bear..."

Before the words were finished, Jing Henghou said in a cold voice, "Jun'er's dowry was left to them by their mothers, and I won't take out any money when Jun'er gets married? You don't have to worry about losing face if you speak out, it's settled like that."

In the end, Mrs. Cen married the Rong family with a large dowry.The Cen family is also capable, relying on the shop, land, and house in the dowry to make a lot of money.It can be said that the Cen family has the most money in the Rong family.

With such a mother who can earn money, Baozhu feels that she will be able to live a life without worrying about food and clothing. Of course, the premise is to avoid Zhao Chen. She has never thought about getting married. Live happily.

She deliberately avoided things from her previous life. She had a good life in the Rong Mansion after waking up a few years ago, but she was completely trapped in the Zhao Mansion in the next few years. Going to the women's room in the backyard every month is also well-behaved. I will definitely spend the first and fifteenth day of the new year in her room, and the rest will also be in her room on the fifth or sixth day.The rest of the time is divided among other concubines.

She is not Zhao Chen's official wife, but a continuation. Zhao Chen married a wife before, but she passed away in less than three years. Afterwards, she married Zhao Chen by an imperial decree.

She also stayed in Zhao's Mansion for several years, she also knew that it was not Zhao Chen's intention to marry into Zhao's Mansion, it must be the Emperor's intention, and she hadn't lived a clear life yet, how could she guess the holy will.However, after staying in the Zhao family for almost ten years, she has not given birth to a son or a daughter, not only her, but also others.

She was 24 when she died, and Zhao Chen was almost thirty, and didn't even have a child.

Thinking of the old affairs of the Zhao family, Rong Baozhu pursed her lips tightly and frowned, as a human being in the next life, she actually still doesn't understand why the emperor wants to give her a marriage.

Speaking of it, she was still quite worried, afraid that when she grew up, the emperor would come with another imperial decree, so would her work be in vain?
Seeing her daughter frowning and muttering something, Cen couldn't help laughing, "What is my Baozhu talking about?"

Rong Baozhu immediately changed her smiling face, and raised the small jade bottle in her hand, "Mother, she is beautiful, I like it, thank you mother."

Cen smiled and said, "It's fine if you like it. Your older brothers and sisters will come to see you later. Don't play too late. The day after tomorrow will be your grandfather's birthday. When the time comes, your grandfather, uncle and aunt will come to see you , you need to keep your spirits up these two days."

Baozhu nodded, "Don't worry, mother."

After Mrs. Cen left, Rong Baozhu sent her servant girl out to keep watch. She dripped the lotion from her palm into the jade vase alone in the room. She planned to fill up the two small jade vases first.A few drops of lotion went down without even seeing the bottom, Rong Baozhu shook the small jade bottle in her hand, and locked the jade bottle in her small red sandalwood box with her short legs.

The general was also in Baozhu's room all the time. Baozhu was afraid that he would be too excited to feed him lotion directly. This time, he just put a drop in his small basin and fed him the food he wanted to eat.

She is still a bit afraid to take it internally, and has always used it externally, secretly dripping a drop into the bathtub when taking a bath.

In the afternoon, Rong Lang, Rong Cheng, Rong Mingzhu, and Rong Haizhu came to see her. The fourth elder brother Rong Lang and the fourth sister Mingzhu were the calmest, while Haizhu became more lively. Cheng took Second Master Zheng and Sixth Master Yuan to fight crickets in Baozhu's house, so she quit and went up to pull Rong Rong's ears, "Fifth brother, didn't you still say you would take me to watch cricket fighting? It's been almost a month, but you can't coax me."

Rong Cheng ran and hid in the house, but Hai Zhu chased after him.

Rong Lang and Rong Mingzhu probably didn't stop them because they saw Baozhu laughing happily, and the room was full of joy.

With the company of her brother and sister, Rong Baozhu quickly put aside her troubles during the day. Anyway, there are still more than ten years left, so she has nothing to worry about.

The next morning, Baozhu woke up, before the servant girl came in to serve her, she excitedly took out the small jade bottle, intending to save today's lotion, but when she checked the jade bottle, there was no drop of lotion in it.

Rong Baozhu was a little dumbfounded, and stared at the empty bottle for a long time, puzzled, logically speaking, it shouldn't have evaporated so quickly?Could it be that the mouse ate it?But only she has the key to the sandalwood box, it shouldn't be like this.

The maid outside heard the movement and shouted, "Miss Seven, are you awake?"

Rong Baozhu let out a cry, and sat on the head of the bed in a daze holding the small sandalwood box. The serving maids came in one after another. Today, Miaoyu, Biyu, Shaoyao, Kapok, Tielan and Dianthus are on duty.Miaoyu looked at the young master in a daze, and asked, "What's the matter, Miss? Are you feeling unwell?"

Rong Baozhu shook his head, "No, hurry up, I'm hungry."

Miaoyu didn't ask any more questions, and directed the servant girl to go forward and take care of things swiftly.

Miaoyu saw that the master was still holding the small red sandalwood box in her arms, and said with a smile, "Girl, give the box to my servant, and my servant will put it away for you."

Rong Baozhu shook his head, and put the small jade bottles in one by one, locked the box, and put it on the bedside.

Today, Peony combed her hair, and Baozhu sat obediently in front of the bronze mirror and let her comb her withered and yellow hair. She didn't want a sudden pain in her scalp, so she couldn't help crying, "It hurts."

Shaoyao was dumbfounded, Miaoyu stepped forward and pulled her over, saw two broken hairs on the wooden comb, her expression immediately turned down, "How do you serve the master, you can't even do such a small thing well."

Shaoyao panicked, "Miss Seven, this slave is wrong." She didn't mean it, but she was a little distracted. When Miss Qi woke up, she was gossiping, and seeing how Sifang treated Miss Seven these days, she was a little worried Well, if the wife knew that she was gossiping about Miss Seven, it would be easy for her to be kicked out of the house. According to the law, slaves like them who are deadly contracted gossiping about their master would be punished and put in prison.
