"Ms. Ming."
"Girl Sun."
Sun Caiyao saw the innocence in Jiuzhu's smile. That kind of carefree smile that has never been contaminated by the world.
"At the foot of Feixia Mountain a few days ago, I couldn't chat with Miss Ming. I feel very sorry. Fortunately, you are here today. Come in and sit and chat slowly." Holding Jiuzhu's hand lightly, Sun Caiyao asked with a gentle smile: "You and I are about the same age. I'm a year older than you, so you can just call me sister in the future."
When the girls next to him heard this, they covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed.
In the future, they will marry into the royal family and be each other's concubines. In detail, isn't it a sister and a sister
Jiuzhu turned her head to look at the girls who were laughing, and blinked.
"Don't pay attention to them, they are all narrow-minded." Sun Caiyao's eyes stayed on Jiuzhu's hair, where there were a pair of tassel hairpins with wishful patterns, which were worn by Concubine Su Gui to participate in His Majesty's longevity.
Gently lowered her eyelids, she didn't look directly at Jiuzhu's beautiful eyes: "There is a small garden in the backyard of the mansion. If sister Jiuzhu doesn't dislike it, go to the garden with us."
Jiu Zhu turned her head to look at Shen shi who was talking to the ladies, Shen shi nodded slightly.
"Then it will bother Miss Sun." Jiuzhu smiled and nodded to Sun Caiyao.
"Sister, please." Sun Caiyao let go of Jiuzhu's hand, slightly holding her skirt and leading the way. The women who accompanied them eloquently talked a lot, and from time to time they praised Jiuzhu and Sun Caiyao a few times, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The courtyard of the Sun family is surrounded by rocks and quiet. Although it is not luxurious, it is full of scenery. The family style of the Sun family is like their garden, with a profound background, and every word and deed can be seen in self-cultivation.
When the young girls are together, it is inevitable to have fun. You chase after me and make trouble. Jiuzhu has already memorized the names of the daughters of several families. Each of them is friendly and easy to get along with, and can't pick out the slightest bad.
Jiuzhu remembered what her mother said to her when she went out in the morning.
"How to get along with them is something others consider. When you go, you will naturally find that each of them is gentle, considerate and considerate."
"Are all the girls in the capital so gentle?"
"It is not the nature that is gentle, but the heart."
Jiu Zhu looked at the tired and panting girls running in the garden with small steps, and felt that if she went to catch them, she would be invincible.
No wonder the masters said that the water and soil in the capital did not support people, and that the physical strength of these girls was too poor. They were so tired after only running a few steps.
"Sister Jiuzhu, are you tired?" Sun Caiyao walked to her side, "Let's sit and rest for a while."
Jiuzhu: "..."
She glanced at Sun Caiyao's flushed cheeks, suspected that the other party was tired but was too embarrassed to speak, so she asked her to accompany her.
Go ahead, take care of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and do good deeds.
The autumn wind was slow, Sun Caiyao poured a cup of fragrant tea and put it in front of Jiuzhu: "After my sister returns to Beijing, will everything be used to it?"
Jiuzhu picked up the teacup and nodded.
The atmosphere calmed down, Sun Caiyao looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, her hand holding the teacup tightened, and then slowly released: "Sister... can you blame me?"
"What?" Jiuzhu thought there was something wrong with her ears. She looked up at Sun Caiyao. The other party's eyes were very complicated, maybe because it was too complicated, Jiu Zhu couldn't understand it, and even felt a little cold on her back.
"Nothing." Sun Caiyao smiled: "Sister replaces the wine with tea, and toasts the younger sister a cup. If there is anything rude, please ask the younger sister Haihan."
Just as Jiuzhu picked up the teacup, the servants of the Sun family hurriedly walked in front of Sun Caiyao: "Miss, His Royal Highness King Qi heard that our mansion was holding a tea tasting banquet today, and the dispatcher sent a lot of things along with him. Come and have a look."
Sun Caiyao drank the tea in the cup, got up and blessed Jiuzhu: "Sister, I'm sorry."
Watching the Miss Sun family leave, Jiuzhu took a sip of tea.
Some light.
Putting down the teacup, she got up and walked to the lotus pond next to her. There are dried lotus leaves on the pond surface, and occasionally pond fish swim across the water surface and spit out a few bubbles.
Jiuzhu sat on the stone and looked at these chubby fish that were not afraid of people. She couldn't help thinking, if you eat such a stupid fish, people will become stupid, right
"Why doesn't Miss Zheng come to play with everyone?"
"I don't want to go." A woman's unhappy voice came from behind the rockery: "In the future, when Princess Chen is here, who would dare to offend her."
"Why did Miss Zheng say this, Miss Ming has a gentle temperament and knows..."
"If you want to flatter yourself, do it yourself. You don't have to say these disgusting words in front of me."
Jiuzhu stood up from the stone. People in the capital like to hide in the dark and speak ill of people? She looked around and walked lightly to the rockery.
The woman who was run on by Miss Zheng was a little angry: "Your brother offended King Chen and lost face. What does it have to do with Miss Ming's family? Lord Ming is an upright official, Mrs. Shen has a gentle temperament, and Miss Ming has entered Sun's mansion, why? Have you ever put on airs with us? What kind of ability do you think Miss Daoming is right or wrong behind your back? If you have the ability, you can go to King Chen for a theory!"
"You..." Zheng Zhen's words suddenly stopped before she said it. She stared at the rockery with wide eyes, as if she saw something terrible.
Yao Yinyin noticed her abnormality, and turned around to see that Miss Ming was sitting on the rockery, arranging her robes, with a relaxed attitude.
"Ms. Ming, Ming?" Yao Yinyin didn't dare to guess how much Ming Jiuzhu heard.
Zheng Zhen's face turned pale with fright. The Zheng family was King Qi's foreign family, so she was naturally not afraid of Ming Jiuzhu, but what she was afraid of was Ming Jiuzhu's fiance, King Chen.
Thinking of his elder brother who was still copying books in Class A of the Children's School, Zheng Zhen shook his feet and took a step back.
"You continue to talk, don't care about me." Jiuzhu pulled the robe to block the sun, and smiled at the two of them, "I'm just here to enjoy the scenery."
Yao Yinyin: "..."
She glanced at Zheng Zhen with pity, she said bad things and was overheard by the person involved, and wanted them to continue chatting
Just substituting Zheng Zhen, she wants to dig a crack in the ground to hide herself.
Seeing that Zheng Zhen didn't speak, Jiuzhu's face showed a sudden look: "Did I influence Miss Zheng's conversation here?"
She tilted her head and jumped off the rockery: "I'll go now."
"Miss Ming." Zheng Zhen gritted her teeth and stopped Jiuzhu, hesitatingly said: "What happened just now is a misunderstanding..."
"Miss Zheng doesn't need to explain, I understand, I understand." Jiuzhu raised her skirt, turned around and left without listening to Zheng Zhen's explanation.
A pretty girl, why does she love to tell right and wrong behind her back
Can't scare her to death!
"She must have heard." Zheng Zhen looked at Yao Yinyin in a panic: "What if she tells Concubine Su about this?"
Yao Yinyin: "..."
She couldn't stop it just now, but now she knows she's afraid
The Marquis of Pingyuan is a family outside the King of Qi, and his ancestors also had many famous officials. How can the younger generation have their brains worse than the other
Could it be that wisdom and wisdom were passed on to the grandson of King Qi
"Don't think too much, Miss Ming didn't say anything." Yao Yinyin comforted: "I think she is not a narrow-minded person."
Zheng Zhen glared at Yao Yinyin, what time has it been, did you not forget to flatter Ming Jiuzhu
Pretending not to see Zheng Zhen's dissatisfaction, Yao Yinyin was blessed: "If Miss Zheng is really worried, go and tell Miss Ming no, and this matter will be over."
Anyway, after today, she has to stay away from Miss Zheng's family. Sometimes people with bad brains are more dangerous than bad people.
"I-I didn't say anything." Even though he said so, Zheng Zhen didn't dare to stay in the Sun Mansion any more. He found a reason to leave in a hurry in a carriage. Even the luncheon specially prepared by the Sun family was useless.
"What happened when you were playing with other little girls?" Seeing Jiuzhu sitting back beside him, Shen Shi had a strange smile on his face.
"Someone told me right and wrong behind my back, and I heard it."
When Shen heard the words, she was worried that her daughter would be sad because of the words of others, so she was about to say something to comfort her.
"When you tell other people's right and wrong outside, the Zheng family girl not only has a bad brain, but also has problems with her tutoring." Jiuzhu smiled a little smugly: "After she said the right and wrong, she found me behind the rockery, as if she was caught stealing food. Oh the voles."
Shen Shi discovered one thing, her daughter seemed to have an enigmatic confidence in herself, and she would never change her opinion because of what others said.
No matter what other people say or think, they can't have any influence on her.
Maybe one day, when everyone thinks differently from her, she can also come to the conclusion that "these people are weird, only me is normal".
The two Taoist priests who raised their daughters are also strange women in the world. Ordinary people who raise children can't raise such a unique temperament.
Just thinking about it, she heard her daughter mutter again.
"The most annoying person to speak ill of His Royal Highness King Chen."
Shen Shi: "..."
In fact, sometimes blind confidence is not very good.
After returning from Sun's house, Shen's mentality of worrying about gains and losses has changed a lot. Sometimes, she can let Jiuzhu go out without Ming Cunfu's company.
The atmosphere in Beijing is open and not too restrictive to women. When Jiuzhu went out with her maid, she could see women walking alone everywhere, which was better than Lingzhou.
After being driven out by her mother to spend money every few days, Jiuzhu clutched her purse in distress. Isn't it bad to keep the money, why must it be spent
"Miss." The Spring Equinox saw Jiuzhu clutching her purse and standing on the street unwilling to pick something: "Master told Madam that although our mansion is not rich, we will buy you bead hairpin jewelry and rouge gouache for Miss. There is still money."
Jiuzhu sighed: "But I don't lack all of these. My mother has prepared a lot for me."
"Which girl thinks there are too many pearls and hairpins." Spring Equinox and a few maids walked into the store with nine pearls in their arms: "Good lady, please buy a few and take them home, otherwise the lady will suspect that we are ineffective."
"Hey, the little girl of the Ming family."
Ming Jiuzhu looked around, who was calling her
"I'm here, where are you looking?" Something fell gently at her feet, a silver peanut. Jiuzhu bent down to pick up the silver peanut, and looked upstairs.
The young man in a brocade robe leaned against the window, smiling wildly at her.
It was the kind-hearted boy who found someone to help her fight last time.
"You want to pick jewelry?" He beckoned to Jiuzhu: "Go upstairs and see, the jewelry here is beautiful."
Jiuzhu spread out her palm, revealing the silver peanut in her palm, and looked up at him: "Your silver has fallen."
"Then you can bring it up for me." King Chen laughed and bowed his hands to her: "There is a girl named Laoming."
This hand ceremony is not standard, but when he does it, there is a sense of freedom.
Jiuzhu just raised her head like this, and his smile was printed in the black pupils.
His smile is very familiar.
