The day before the Flower Fighting Fair, Zhu Junyang, who was on an errand for some reason, also appeared. Looking at the little girl who seemed to grow a little taller and had already reached his chest, she said worriedly: "Girl, if someone bullies you, don't be bored in your heart, come back and tell the master..."
It seemed that she hadn't seen Xiaojun Wang for more than a month, Yu Xiaocao's only feeling was - this guy is even more evil! She didn't dare to look deeply into those charming phoenix eyes, for fear of being fascinated by them inadvertently. Then whoever, hurry up and take him in, so as not to harm the world! !
Hearing this, Xiaocao, who was a little stunned, laughed with a "puchi", raised her little head, looked at that enchanting face, and said, "Why are you telling me? Can you still beat her up?"
Zhu Junyang was choked for a moment, and snorted coldly: "Although I don't bother beating women, they have brothers..."
Yu Xiaocao mourned for three seconds for the girls' elder brothers and younger brothers who might provoke her, and then said with a half-smile: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, whoever wants to provoke my mother, we don't sell her vegetables and fruits." Yes. Anyway, she looks down on me who came from a farming family, so why should she eat the vegetables and fruits grown by the farmers? Next year, when the fruits and watermelons come out, they will not be sold to them. The canned fruits will not be part of them!"
Don't those people look down on themselves because of their money and status? Do they still think they are superior when they have money but cannot buy those hot commodities
It turns out that his little girl is not the kind of little white rabbit who is slaughtered, but a cat with its sharp claws hidden. It usually looks docile, well-behaved and cute. When you are upset, it will stretch out its claws to scratch you suddenly Blood seal, let you remember forever!
Zhu Junyang, who was sent to the gate of the outer courtyard, pulled the fluffy snow cap on the cloak for Xiaocao, and said with a smile: "I have neglected you recently, and when winter comes, I will come to accompany you when I am free. Who made you suffer?" If you are wronged, just write down the account, and the Lord will help you pay it back one by one when the time comes!"
In fact, for more than a month, Xiaocao has been busier than Yangjun Wang, supporting the vegetable stall in the Tanggu greenhouse alone, and also taking care of the development of new drugs in the pharmaceutical workshop there. Tongrentang has recently added several kinds of pills to nourish the body, which are the masterpieces of more than a month. So... Xiaojun Wang, don't be so sentimental, people really don't miss you!
Early the next morning, Yu Xiaocao put on the flag dress made by Si Niang's sister herself, combed her hair into a modified double-ya flower bud head, and used centipede braids to make the braids on both sides of her head into petals, and two charming flowers bloomed on the top of her head. The flower shape is decorated with pink pearls. The broken hair below was braided into a few braids and hung down on the chest, making the whole person look two years younger, cute and unique.
When Xiaocao stepped into Zhen Guogong's inner courtyard, many curious eyes kept looking at her: she was dressed in a light pink flag dress that was simple and elegant, with lily sleeves folded two or three layers. The outside is covered with a rose red brocade brocade sleeveless jacket with blooming ice lotus flowers embroidered on the slanted collar. In order to resist the cold wind in early winter, the collar and cuffs are decorated with white fluff, which is fluffy and cute. The layered rose pink pleated skirt, the ice lotus on the skirt and the neckline complement each other.
A sharp-eyed lady saw the imprint somewhere on the dress, and was very surprised: it was actually embroidered by Mrs. Jiang from Linglong Embroidery Workshop. At first glance, this style is the new work of Mr. Jiang, which breaks through the shackles of the past and breaks the stereotypes, which is even more amazing.
The ladies who arrived one step earlier looked at this strange little face that was as white as jade and creamy, and all guessed her identity. Whose lady is lucky enough to be favored by Master Jiang, to present her new work on such a grand occasion
"Yo! Whose sister is this? She looks a bit unfamiliar. This is the first time to attend our sister's party?" Princess Minglan and He Wanning, one of the twin sisters, have similar temperaments. Seeing such a cute and cute creature, I couldn't help smiling and stood up.
Because Mrs. Fang was worried about her daughter and asked Linglong to follow her, she whispered a reminder to the young lady. Yu Xiaocao hurriedly folded Qianqian's plain hands in front of her belly, bowed her knees, and said with a lark-like childlike crispness: "Yu Xiaocao, I have seen Princess Minglan and all the sisters."
Yu Xiaocao? Who? After the name was announced, everyone's expressions became more bewildered. The only officials surnamed Yu in Beijing are Yu Yonghe, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials who took office last year. It is said that the youngest daughter of his family is only about ten years old. Could it be his daughter
Li Meirou, the daughter of the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, walked over with a smile, took Xiaocao's hand affectionately, and said in a familiar tone: "It turns out to be the sister of the Yu family! I have long wanted to invite my sister to be a guest at home, but Lingtang always said My sister is not in good health, so it is not suitable to go out. Look at me today, is my sister in good health?"
Xiaocao's figure was already a little weak, but her waist was covered by the flag dress, making her look even weaker. In addition, her pointed jaw and a pair of ridiculously big eyes made her look even smaller against her face . Fortunately, the complexion is white and red, otherwise it would really make people feel that they are not recovering from a serious illness!
"Miss, this is Miss Li from the right servant's family of the Ministry of Officials." Although Linglong was surprised at the other party's enthusiasm, she did not forget her duty and reminded her girl.
This... the way to open it is not right! Why come up and pretend to be acquainted? Is there a trap in it? Yu Xiaocao's expression remained unchanged, a sweet smile was drawn on the corner of her mouth, and she said politely: "Thank you, Miss Li, for thinking about it."
"It should be!" Li Meirou took her little hand and walked towards the Nuan Pavilion where everyone was staying, saying, "Come on, my sister will introduce some good sisters to you."
I greeted each other with the ladies in the warm pavilion, and everyone smiled kindly at her. Although their attitude was not as close as that of the lady of the official servant's family, they were not alienated.
"Sister Yu, this dress of yours is from Linglong Embroidery Workshop, right? I didn't expect you to be favored by Master Jiang and personally design clothes for you as a newcomer. Is there any allusion in it?" It was He Wanning who spoke, she But at the age of fourteen or fifteen, wearing a passionate red dress made her little face more vivid. Her temperament is the same as her clothes, passionate and unrestrained, she has nothing to say.
Today, Yu Xiaocao thinks that she has a new mission, which is to push out the flag dress, so she will not miss this opportunity: "My dress is designed by Sister Jiang, which combines national characteristics, and it can better highlight women's clothing." The soft and delicate side. I believe that in the near future, this style of clothing will be fully launched in Linglong Weaving and Embroidery Workshop."
"Are you familiar with everyone Jiang?" One of the ladies asked a little sourly.
Yu Xiaocao said modestly: "I've only met you a few times..."
"They're all called Sister Jiang, isn't it just a few times I've met? Miss Yu, you don't speak very well!! Tell me, how did you meet Jiang?" He Wanning surrounded Xiaocao, looking back and forth with her clothes. This is not a disrespectful thing among ladies, if a young lady gets a new style from Linglong Embroidery Workshop, it will always attract everyone's attention.
Yu Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, then briefly explained the two visits by Jiang Siniang. He Wanning frowned slightly, and said, "You mean, everyone Jiang saw that you were wearing special clothes when you went out, so they chased after you to ask for advice?"
Li Meirou said with a disbelieving expression: "Sister Yu, didn't Mrs. Zuo Shilang say that you have always been in poor health and rarely go out? How could it be such a coincidence that Jiang Siniang saw your random outfits?"
With a surprised expression on Yu Xiaocao's face, she asked, "Mrs. Zuo Shilang? I've never met her before, so how could she know about my physical condition? My health is fine, and I can ride a horse for half an hour every day. "
Li Meirou showed a surprised expression, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Ah? Aren't you the lady of the Zuo Shilang's family?"
"No?" Yu Xiaocao blinked her big eyes, the clear eyes reflected the slightly embarrassed expressions of the girls.
Li Meirou was a little annoyed: "Didn't you say that your surname is Yu? Among the civil servants and military generals in Beijing, apart from the newly appointed Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, who is surnamed Yu? Who are you? Why do you pretend to be a lady in Beijing? What purpose!"
It turned out to be the wrong person! Yu Xiaocao finally understands the reason why everyone treats her well. As long as there is no conspiracy, it will be easy! The breath in her heart was finally relieved.
Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Yu Xiaocao looked calm, showed a faint smile, and said, "Miss Li, I think you have misunderstood! My surname is indeed Yu, and I have Yu every year."
A maid beside Princess Minglan whispered a few words in her ear. She glanced at Linglong who was beside Xiaocao, nodded slightly, and said with a reserved smile, "So it's the lady from General Zhaoyong's residence, but we were rude just now and mistook you for someone else."
The girl from General Zhaoyong's residence? Isn't that the newly appointed female agricultural officer of the household department? That's right, it seems that the agricultural officer's surname is also Yu, and his first name is Xiaocao. This name was also discussed in private by many ladies as vulgar, and it really came from a farm family.
Many ladies in the warm pavilion restrained their smiles, and there was a bit of disdain in their eyes. Li Meirou was even more exasperated: This Yu Xiaocao is so hateful, she actually misled her and made her make a fool of herself among the sisters!
"What's the matter with you? Why didn't you declare your identity? Do you also feel ashamed of your own background?" Li Meirou said without choice, for fear that the sisters would misunderstand that she was with this vulgar peasant girl.
Yu Xiaocao put away the smile on her face, glanced at her indifferently, and said indifferently: "Could it be that Miss Li always talks about her identity as the daughter of the right servant of the official department when she is exchanging greetings?" What's wrong with my origin? Count down a few generations, everyone, don't laugh at anyone!"
After careful consideration, it is true. Even the Ninth Five-Year Honor in the Golden Luan Hall was born in the generation of the Supreme Emperor. Among other things, Duke Zhen also has many founding generals, most of whom were born recklessly, so there is no need for noble peasants.
