The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 71

After Peizhu got married, Rong Rong also left. Now there are only a few girls left in the Rong family, and it is almost time for Pingzhu and Mingzhu to get engaged.Baozhu's daily life is still the same as before. Since she fell into the water, the sixth sister has always looked very apologetic. She has apologized to Baozhu several times, but Baozhu can't say anything.

Rong Yanzhu has had more contact with girls from the Zhang family since years ago, referring to the Zhang family of Qingyuan Marquis who was married to the King of Shu, but it is not the eldest daughter of the Zhang family who is about to marry the King of Shu, but the second girl.

The eldest girl Zhang Huilan is about to marry the King of Shu, and the second girl Zhang Ninglan is in contact with Yanzhu.Although the two girls were both from Qingyuan Hou, because the eldest girl was raised by the old lady's side, Mrs. Qingyuan Hou didn't have any feelings for the eldest girl.These two girls are different, they were raised by Mrs. Qingyuanhou since childhood, and Mrs. Qingyuan placed her affection for the eldest girl on her, so she naturally dotes on her very much.

Zhang Huilan is about the same age as the King of Shu, almost seventeen, and Zhang Ninglan is fifteen, and she became friends with Yanzhu because at a banquet a year ago, the second girl Zhang was humiliated, and Yanzhu went up to make a rescue. There are more contacts with girls.This second girl also often comes to the mansion to look for Yanzhu.

Today Zhang Ninglan came to Rong Mansion to look for Yanzhu, and the two entered Yanzhu's room, and Miss Zhang couldn't help complaining, "Yanzhu, you don't know, my eldest sister really hates it, isn't it? Because I gave the Queen Mother a marriage to the King of Shu, these days I don’t pay attention to my mother and me, and I blame my mother for not loving her. I don’t think about how sad my mother was when she was taken away by her grandmother, but now she is still helping the old man. Ma'am talk."

Rong Yanzhu said with a smile, "She was raised by your old lady, so naturally she helped the old lady speak."

Zhang Ninglan snorted, "I hate her so much. I really don't understand why the queen mother took a fancy to her. She doesn't look like her mother, but like her father's relatives. Good luck, how can she be worthy of such a handsome and unparalleled figure as the King of Shu!"

When Rong Yanzhu saw her mentioning the appearance of King Shu's spring heart, her heart moved, and she asked the maids to retreat after serving tea, and put her left hand on the back of Miss Zhang's hand, and said softly, "That's not true, the King of Shu is like this!" She is no match for the character, but I think the King of Shu is more suitable for my sister. My sister has such a beautiful face, and she is the most favored girl in Qingyuan. It is a pity that the Queen Mother chose her for some reason. "

"My sister is talking nonsense. If my sister talks nonsense again, I will ignore her." Zhang Ninglan's face became more and more crimson, but she couldn't help stirring the handkerchief in her hand.

Yanzhu smiled and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, I really think about my sister, speaking of it, it's okay if the king of Shu chooses a girl from another family, why is she a big girl who is not as good as my sister in every way, I am really sorry for my sister, hey , a character like the King of Shu..."

Zhang Ninglan remained silent, feeling more and more reconciled in her heart, obviously the elder sister was inferior to her in everything, why was she not chosen to be the Princess of Shu, really not reconciled.

Rong Yanzhu said again, "If my younger sister can form a marriage with the king of Shu, it will be a match made in heaven. Speaking of which, the eldest girl has lived there with the old lady for so many years, and it is almost seventeen. Could it be that even a person she likes is a match made in heaven?" No? You’re seventeen and you haven’t decided on a marriage yet? Hey, my sister is only fifteen, and this is the most suitable age for the King of Shu.”

Saying that the listener had no intention of listening, Zhang Ninglan's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered the handsome young man who wandered around the Qingyuan Houfu a few days ago.

Zhang Ninglan couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and said with a smile, "Sister, I still have something to do, I'll come back another day, by the way, it will be my mother's birthday in a few days, and I will entertain some female guests at that time, and I need my sister to honor me." yes."

Rong Yanzhu smiled and said, "Of course I want to go."

A few days later, Madam Hou of Qingyuan's birthday was not a big birthday after all, and honored women from the capital were invited as guests, even the women from the Rong family were also invited.

Seeing that the marriage date of the King of Shu is getting closer and closer, people in the capital are talking about it, saying that the girl from the Zhang family in Qingyuan is really lucky, her appearance and family background are not so good, and she can be favored by the Queen Mother who is about to become the concubine of the King of Shu , He De He Neng, luck is really good enough.

Bao Zhu was silent after hearing this, what is He De He Neng, what is good luck, this is not good luck, three years later the girl from Zhang family will die in the back house of King Shu, how is this good luck?Really poor.

Soon it was the birthday of Mrs. Qingyuan Marquis, Wei Shi and Cen Shi led the girls to Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.

The Rong family and the Marquis of Qingyuan also knew each other, and would invite them to any banquets on weekdays.The family members of the Rong family went to the Qingyuan Hou Mansion in a carriage, and Baozhu also met the former concubine of the previous King of Shu. It's red, and I can't speak.

Baozhu wondered, how could such a girl survive in the queen's house of Shu.

Baozhu saw the second girl of the Zhang family again, she was very beautiful and lively, with an unstoppable cheerful smile on her face, she always looked at Zhang Huilan from time to time, with inexplicable excitement flashing in her eyes.

Usually at banquets, wives and wives chat together, girls and daughter-in-laws chat together, and today the girls don't write poems, they just sit and talk together.Some girls couldn't help asking, "Sister Huilan, I heard from the Queen Mother that you and the King of Shu are actually in love with each other. Is it true that the King of Shu likes you?"

Zhang Huilan shook her head, her face flushed, "Stop talking nonsense, I and His Highness the King of Shu just met each other once." It was just that we met during a palace banquet, and the two passed by each other, she was amazed, the King of Shu But he walked over with a blank face, afraid that he didn't notice her at all.Even she was stunned when the Empress Dowager took a fancy to her and gave her a marriage on the spot. How can you be unhappy, every day after that is dizzy.

The girls were puzzled, "How can the queen mother say that the king of Shu has taken a fancy to my sister?"

Zhang Huilan shook her head blushing, "Where did I know, well, stop making fun of me."

A girl laughed and said, "It must be His Royal Highness the King of Shu who fell in love with my sister at first sight."

The girls around all laughed, and Zhang Ninglan had a look of disdain in her eyes, thinking to herself, you will see me later.

When the girls were laughing, they suddenly heard exclamations from not far away. Everyone got up and looked over, and saw a few servant girls pointing at something in panic. When they walked in, they found a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. The handsome young man walked in with a flushed face.

The female relatives were immediately stunned, how could a foreigner come in in this kind of place, what is going on in the Qingyuan Houfu!

When Madam Hou of Qingyuan saw a foreigner coming in, she was also very angry, "What's going on, who let him in, it's the gatekeeper woman!"

Everyone was confused, only Zhang Ninglan showed a touch of excitement when he saw the boy.When Zhang Huilan saw the boy, she almost fainted, but fortunately Baozhu next to her gave her a hand.

Baozhu said worriedly, "Sister Huilan, are you alright?" Baozhu also saw that something was wrong, the young man was looking for Miss Zhang.

Mrs. Qingyuan Hou was almost pissed off, and now she knew something was wrong, the woman guarding the gate was someone close to her, it was impossible to let a foreigner in, it must be the second girl's fault!Just about to step forward to drive people out, the young man had already rushed into the female family members, the female family members exclaimed, and hurriedly moved out of the way, only to see the young man rushing to Qingyuan Hou's wife and knelt down, begging bitterly, "Ma'am, please let me be with Huilan. Huilan and I are in love with each other. She doesn't want to marry the King of Shu at all. It is the King of Shu who wins people's love and makes others difficult."

Mrs. Qingyuanhou almost fainted from fright. Even if she didn't like this eldest daughter, it was still born in her stomach. She couldn't believe what would happen in the future if she lost her reputation and involved the Hou's family.

The female relatives were in an uproar and whispered among themselves.

Zhang Huilan was already on the verge of falling, and a maid hurriedly came up to support her.Baozhu next to her was also stunned, apparently not knowing what was going on, Baozhu was sure that such a thing had never happened in her previous life, if this happened, it would be impossible for Miss Zhang to marry the King of Shu.And looking at the way the big girl looks, I'm afraid she knows this young man.

The boy came to Zhang Huilan again, and said softly, "Huilan, don't be afraid, even if the King of Shu forces you, I will not give up on you. No matter what, I will take you away. Although my family is poor, but I have already been selected as a scholar, and I will work hard to obtain fame in the future, and I will definitely not let you suffer with me."

Zhang Huilan pointed at the boy with a pale face, "Wang An, I... I have nothing to do with you, why are you talking nonsense to ruin my reputation!"

It turned out to be acquaintances, and the female relatives started discussing excitedly.

Wang An stepped forward and said, "Hui Lan, I'm not talking nonsense. When we were in our hometown, we clearly loved each other. You told me to come to propose marriage after I returned to the capital and reported to Qing Yuan Hou and his wife."

Zhang Huilan was so trembling that she could hardly speak. If she hadn't been supported by a maid, she would have been unable to stand still, "You are talking nonsense! Although I have known you since childhood, it was only because of our neighbors. The defense between men and women is just a neighbor relationship with you, why did you harm me like this!"

Wang An said sadly, "Hui Lan, I really like you. Why did you change when you arrived in the capital? Is it because of the King of Shu? Because of his noble status? He is handsome? So you fell in love with him? But How can you like him, have you forgotten your friendship with me?"

Miss Zhang didn't have any words to refute at all, she just murmured with a pale face, "You are talking nonsense, why did you hurt me like this, why did you hurt me..."

"Hui Lan" Wang An said excitedly, "Since you said that I harmed you, then there is a red birthmark the size of a fingernail on the right back of your waist, shaped like a budding peony, am I right?"

Zhang Huilan couldn't bear it anymore and completely passed out.

The female relatives were boiling over, "Oh my God, how dare you deceive the King of Shu's feelings after having an affair with another man, this young lady is really..."

"That's right, even though the Empress Dowager took a fancy to her back then, the Empress Dowager asked her if she had a man she liked, but she said she didn't have one. This is really shameless."

"The king of Shu is really pitiful..."

All the female relatives were talking about it, Mrs. Qingyuan Hou felt even death-conscious, she shook her hands and asked someone to arrest the young man, then turned her head and said to the female relatives, "I'm really sorry today, I let everyone see the joke , I will definitely come to the door to apologize in another day, so please forgive me for not entertaining everyone for no reason today."

"Hehe" a lady couldn't help laughing, "This young man is also infatuated. Being played by Miss Zhang like this, could it be that Mrs. Qingyuan Hou planned to arrest this young man and beat him to death? That's not what happened, it's obviously you My girl is wrong, she deceived the relationship between the two of you. You are so brave, even the King of Shu and the Queen Mother dared to deceive you."

This person obviously had some discord with Mrs. Qingyuan Hou, so he sang the opposite tune at this time.

Mrs. Qingyuan Hou was also angry, and called her mother-in-law to come over and send someone to see the guests off.

Baozhu finished watching the scene almost dumbfounded, not understanding why the trend is happening now.
