When Mingda woke up, she saw her sister was looking outside with piercing eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking, her face was full of joy.
Mingda turned his head to look at Man Bao, stretched out his hand and pushed her, trying to wake her up, but Man Bao turned over and continued to sleep soundly with his back to her.
Chang Yu turned his head to look over, and said, "Don't call her, so many birds chirping outside didn't wake her up, so she must be unable to wake up."
Mingda stopped calling her, and lay down on the window sill with Changyu and looked out.
She exhaled from the bottom of her heart, feeling relaxed all over.
Obviously they are all inside the wall, and this small village is far smaller than the Taiji Palace, but it gives people the feeling of being bright, lively and relaxed.
Mingda leaned on his arm, even staring at a small weed under the window sill, he was very happy, "It's really different outside."
Changyu nodded, but it was rare to have expectations for the future life, "If the princess mansion is so comfortable and relaxed, then there is nothing wrong with leaving the palace."
Mingda said: "My sister just thinks too much and loves her family. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with getting married. After getting married, you can go wherever you want. How comfortable are you?"
Changyu smiled and said, "You want to go out and play, right?"
Ming Da smiled and said nothing, "When my sister gets married, you have to take me out of the palace often to play."
In the past two years, the two sisters rarely went out of the palace, and when Prince Gong always stayed in Beijing before, he would often pick them up to play.
Since last year, if they want to go out, they have always made excuses with Zhou Man.
Ming Da envied Man Bao from the bottom of his heart, but Chang Yu was not. Even though she likes horse racing and polo, she has a lively and cheerful personality, but she never thought of leaving the capital and leaving the palace too far.
For strange places and strange people, she didn't have much expectations, only panic and bewilderment.
Mingda is just the opposite, probably because she was in poor health since she was a child, she has been very interested in the outside world since she was a child.
She wanted to follow the emperor when he went to Yongzhou, she also wanted to follow the emperor when he went to Jinyang, and she also clamored to go to Taiyuan, even if she was sick for a few months, she was not afraid.
The two sisters were lying on the window sill and looking outside in a daze with their own thoughts. Man Bao felt a little hot, turned over, kicked off the small quilt covering his stomach, spread his hands and feet and continued to sleep soundly.
Mingda and Changyu who heard the movement turned their heads to look at her, looked at each other for a while, then turned around and lay down on the window sill.
Man Bao slept well this time. She yawned habitually when she woke up, then closed her eyes and stretched vigorously, feeling her whole body relaxed before opening her eyes and getting up.
She sat up and saw Ming Da and Chang Yu sitting by the windowsill looking back at her, so she crawled over and sat between them, looked outside as well, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Changyu joked, "Look at you."
Mingda smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
Man Bao nodded, sat between the two of them, and looked at the flowers and plants outside in a daze, "It seems to be a little hot, the sun is too big, I wanted to take you to the ditch to fish, but I'm afraid it won't work like this Yes, the water is very sunny."
She said: "Let's go into the woods, I'll take you to pick wild fruits and flowers."
Mingda and Changyu had no objection, and agreed happily.
However, they were still lazy and did not move, and it took a while to get up and move.
The maids waiting outside heard the movement, so they filed in and brought basins to wash the faces and hands of the three of them.
Usually Man Bao does these things by himself, and at most let the servants bring the water, but now she is blocked by the maids every time she moves, as if she does it by herself to harm them, Man Bao dare not move any more.
The maid opened the bronze mirror and the dressing box to comb the hair of the two princesses, and pressed Man Bao in front of them by the way.
Changyu chatted with Man Bao, "I just met your eldest brother and fifth brother, why didn't I see your fourth brother?"
Man Bao knew that she was determined to make money, so she said, "My fourth brother has gone to the grassland."
Chang Yu retreated to the next best thing, "What about your second niece?"
Man Bao smiled, "I also went to the grassland. This time, my fourth brother took my eldest nephew and second niece with me."
Man Bao thought for a while, and remembered that her fourth brother also had a wicked heart and courage, so he said: "He wants to buy some pearls this time, and when he comes back, I will ask him to leave some for you. If you like it, buy it with him." , I'll make the decision for him and it will be cheaper for you."
Changyu said: "My jewelry is all given by others, I haven't paid much for it yet."
Man Bao said: "You can adapt in advance. When you get married, jewelry will not be provided by the palace. You must buy it at that time."
Changyu: "...you just want to make money from me, and then you don't help me make money."
Man Bao glanced sideways, if she hadn't noticed that someone was combing her hair, she would have shook her head.
Mingda on the side smiled and said, "Sister, she is just giving you a chance."
Chang Yu turned her head around in a swish, but the maid who was combing her hair didn't notice and pulled her hair, causing the maid to kneel on the ground in fright.
Chang Yu waved her hand and asked her to get up indifferently, she turned her head and said to Man Bao, "Really?"
The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, got up and continued to comb Chang Yu's hair, but she was much more careful.
Man Bao said: "My fourth brother has a stubborn temper. Although we don't allow him to get involved in such a big business as pearls, he is determined to do it. If we don't give him money, he will borrow it from his fourth sister-in-law. , we gave him his money to use.”
"I don't know whether this matter is good or bad. In the end, whether I am right or he is right, I will only know after he has done it." Man Bao said: "I made up my mind to stand by and watch, but the two of you It's all intentional, and I can't stop his chance, but in the end, it's up to you whether you lose or gain."
Man Bao said: "My ugly words are up front. You can do business, but you must know that business is risky. There are profits and losses. If you lose money, don't get angry."
Seeing that she had finally let go, Changyu became excited, and asked repeatedly, "Am I that kind of person?"
Man Bao glanced at her, saying nothing.
Chang Yu cast a reproachful glance back at her, then stretched out his hand to pat her.
Mingda reminded: "Sister, you are not married yet."
"It's okay, let's make friends first."
Ming Da and Man Bao looked at each other, and they both pursed their lips and laughed.
The three combed their hair, and Man Bao invited them to go out together.
There is no need to go out from the main door, just go out through the side door. There is a small wooden bridge outside the wall leading to the foot of the opposite mountain.
This small wooden bridge is obviously for the convenience of the people in Zhuangzi, so there is not even a railing, just a few wooden boards on it.
Chang Yu walked staggeringly with his skirt in his hands, terrified, and patted his chest when he got to the opposite side and said, "Why isn't this bridge repaired?"
Man Bao said: "It's just a few people from our family. It costs a lot to build the bridge. It's fine if we can walk over."
Changyu: "... You look at a person who is short of money, why is he not in a hurry to make money at all?"
