Chapter 24

After five consecutive days of copying, her twenty times were finally finished.On the sixth day, she took the copied things and went to Rongshantang. The little girl said that there were distinguished guests inside, so she didn't dare to enter without permission, so she went to the wing to wait.After drinking a cup of tea, I heard the sound of talking and walking in the upper room.She walked slowly to the window, and saw Mother Liu in front of the old lady sending a mother out with a smile on her face.Look at that mother's clothes, she should be a respectable housewife in front of the head of a high-ranking family.

Mother Liu is the old lady's accompanying room. In the past, the eldest lady and others would respectfully call her mother when they saw her. Ruoxi has never seen her flatter anyone other than the old lady. It seems that the guest who came today is indeed a distinguished guest .

Ruoxi intentionally waited for a while before leaving the room, just in time to see Mama Liu sending the guests back, so she hurriedly smiled and went to greet her.

Mother Liu stopped and said, "I haven't seen Eight Girls and Girls alone these few days. The old lady was still talking about it this morning. Girls, go in quickly."

"Let grandma worry about it." When she entered the room, she saw the old lady leaning on the Luohan bed, and there were various refreshments on the small table in front of her.

She hastily stepped forward to pay her respects, "Grandmother asked me to copy the "Female Precepts" and "Internal Training", I have already copied them, please have a look at them."

"Yes." The old lady agreed, and the lemon on the side hurriedly took it.

But the old lady didn't intend to read it, she ordered Ruoxi to sit down and asked: "They all only copied it ten times, but you and Ba Yatou did it twenty times, don't you have any thoughts in your heart?"

"Granddaughter is not stupid, how can she have no ideas?" Ruoxi glanced at the old lady, saw her eyes narrowed and then said: "Since ancient times, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, so it can be seen that virtue is the most important aspect to measure a woman. Women If you lose your morals, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the world. Girls from a family like us have to be more cautious in their words and deeds. If they are criticized, not only will they not be able to live, but even the good reputation accumulated by their ancestors will be tarnished! Right now I am a boudoir Among them, his wife and grandmother taught him how to behave inappropriately. The grandmother always loved the younger generation, so the granddaughter’s mistakes were at most just copying books like "The Female Precepts". I can’t hold my head up! Grandma’s strictness today is entirely for my future happiness, and my granddaughter is full of gratitude! In the past few days, in addition to copying "Nvjie" and "Internal Training", I also specially copied a copy of "Diamond Sutra" ", grandma can put it under the pillow to drive away evil spirits." Then he took out a few more pieces of paper.

After hearing her words, the old lady's face softened a lot. She took the "Diamond Sutra" and read it with her own hands, and said with a smile: "Although it's not as good-looking as ten girl's handwriting, it's better than using your heart!" under my own pillow.

"The lady in charge of Liu's mansion just came. Your aunt wants to invite your girls to go to the opera, and I agree." The old lady took a sip of tea and said, "You will go back to prepare in a while, and take the osmanthus garden there tomorrow. The girl has seen some world in front of me."

Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, it seemed that the old lady cared so much about the invitation from Liu's residence, that she even appointed the girls to bring with her.She didn't dare to ask any more questions and only agreed to leave. Lemon came out and said with a smile: "The girl was still young when she went to the farm, and some relatives were not seen often or she didn't remember them. The old lady's surname is Liu, and the old lady of Liu's house It's the cousins."

"Thank you sister for reminding me." Ruoxi grabbed her hand after hearing this, "I really don't know if I don't tell you, I'm afraid there will be a joke when I meet relatives tomorrow."

"Lao Madam Liu has passed away. The eldest master was transferred to the capital last year to be a cabinet bachelor. Both the second master and the aunt have released their posts and are not in the capital. The two young masters are already married, and the eldest mistress is just four months pregnant. The second mistress has been here for half a year , my natal family is close to Dingbohou." Lemon continued.

Ding Bohou?Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, she thought of Lin Yihao in the bamboo forest, why has she been dealing with the Lin family so much lately?That Lin Yihao did have some attainments in music, but he seemed a little frivolous.But whether she is prudent or frivolous, it has nothing to do with her.

From a distance, she saw Ruoying coming with the girl.The two met each other, exchanged pleasantries and then separated.Back in Qingfengtang, Guiyuan helped her choose the clothes to wear tomorrow.

"Red is too bright and eye-catching, it's better to choose some simple and elegant colors."

"Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year shouldn't be too plain. Our girls will be the backdrop when other girls are dressed up in gorgeous clothes!"

"Then dress a little more plainly inside, and the cloak outside must be able to overwhelm the audience! Pair it with a chic bun, and put some thought into the accessories. Even if you can't be gorgeous, you won't be ignored! "

"Then let's pick it quickly and let the girl have a look."

Ruoxi couldn't help shaking her head when she saw the three girls busy.She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, remembering what the old lady had said to Lemon.It's just a normal series of relatives, why are they so nervous?Is there an inside story here?

"Girl, what do you think of this dress?" Gui Yuan asked with a smile.

Ruoxi turned her head to look over, and saw a moon-white skirt embroidered with red plums on the bed, an apricot-yellow rabbit fur collar on the back, and a cloak with big red feathers.The workmanship and materials of this suit are very exquisite, but the color and style are not eye-catching, which suits Ruoxi's wishes.

She nodded and said, "I'm just visiting relatives, so I can wear whatever I want? Just go with that set of pearl jewelry, and you don't have to waste your time because of this."

"Is it as simple as visiting relatives..." Gui Yuan stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, Ruoxi's hand that put down the teacup froze for a moment, but she pretended she didn't hear it.

After a while, Ruoxi pushed that she would lie down for a while, and sent Qingyu and Lue away.She was lying on the beauty bed, yawning and reading a book.

"Girl, I have something to report." After a long while, Gui Yuan said hesitantly.

She put down the book and stared at Guiyuan. In fact, she had already guessed that Guiyuan had something on her mind, and she had been waiting for Guiyuan to speak.Now that she heard Gui Yuan's words, she knew that this girl was still loyal to her.

"The slave girl went to Rongshan Hall just now, and was dragged to the side room by Miyou to chat. She said that the woman in charge who came to visit the old lady just now was sent by the second young lady of the Liu family. Where's the girl?"

Ruoxi's eyes flashed when she heard this, and something flashed through her mind quickly, but she couldn't grasp the clue.It seems that the Second Young Mistress of the Liu Mansion called Ruoying to come to the house by name, and she and the other sisters were just a foil.However, what does the Second Young Mistress of the Liu Mansion want to do?

Early the next morning, Ruoxi dressed up and greeted the third wife, and then went to Rong Shan Tang to meet the old lady.When she went in, she saw the sixth sister Ruo Ling, the seventh sister Ruoting and the eighth sister Ruoying in the room, one was dressed in green, the other was covered in sapphire blue, and Ruoying was mainly pink.

Seeing her go in, the old lady hurriedly greeted her and took a closer look before her. She nodded for a moment and said, "Although it is a little more elegant, it is still chic. It is too late to go back and change it now. The carriage is waiting outside, you go. Remember, don't be shy. , just be upright and follow the rules in everything, don't let people say that our girls can't see big scenes!"
