There is no need to mention trivial matters. It was the third day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. Thinking that the protagonist today was Cheng Ning, Hua Zhuo picked up a simple dress. He wore a yellow shirt and a green satin jacket, which looked so beautiful and pleasant. Yu also appeared a bit low-key and ordinary. She didn't want to take away the glory of the birthday girl, but since it was a Hebang, it was not good to be too plain, so she put some effort into the decoration and hung a silver necklace around her waist. I made an exquisite hollow sachet, picked a pair of plum blossom earrings inlaid with opal, and put a hairpin on my head, which was modeled after palace flowers, in the shape of a peony, with a yellow agate stamen in the middle. The heart matches perfectly with a pair of peony pattern embroidered shoes on the feet.
Bai Lu giggled and dodged, saying: "When spring comes in the next year or so, you will marry into the Cheng family. It will only be a matter of two or three months. Why don't we let others talk about it?"
Hua Zhuo quickly saluted again and said, "Hello, Sister Jin."
"Miss...the eighth young lady of the Hua family has arrived."
While they were talking, the Cheng family had already arrived. Qiqiao stepped forward to hand over the post, and a steward mother came out to greet them and led them in through the corner door. Hua Zhuo privately looked at Cheng's house and saw that it was just an ordinary house with two entrances. The place was more than half smaller than her old Taiyechi house. The walls and window lattice were obviously old, and only the window paper was newly pasted, obviously for the New Year. Jicai specially replaced the old paper.

The heart matches perfectly with a pair of peony pattern embroidered shoes on the feet.
Cheng Ning blushed and quickly pulled another girl and said, "This is the third young lady of the Jingzhao Yin family, Li Yurong."
Hua Yiren's dress is elegance to the extreme. The pink and white shirt is still covered with a chinchilla leather waistcoat. There are no accessories on the body. The only decoration is a circle of lotus flowers embroidered on the cuffs. The pattern on her head was even more simple. The last time I saw her, she even wore a beaded hairpin. This time she didn’t even wear the beaded hairpin. She replaced it with a simpler peach wood hairpin with the head carved into a double-petaled lotus. Fortunately, she finally put some thought into her hairstyle and created a very beautiful ponytail.
Hua Zhuo really couldn't stand it, so he stuck a silver comb diagonally in her bun. The red gemstones inlaid on the silver comb shone dazzlingly in the sun, finally adding a bit of brightness to her.
Hua Zhuo came well prepared, so naturally he didn't just bring a congratulatory gift for Cheng Ning. Baxiu held two brocade boxes in his hands. Hearing his lady's words, he quickly opened one of them and took out the red brocade box. son.

Five taels is actually not much, but if you buy some rouge gouache and eat it, you will definitely have a surplus. With this surplus money, it may not be enough to raise an outstanding big girl like Qiqiao and Baxiu, but if Raising a second-class girl is barely enough. It's not that Hua Zhuo doesn't want to give more, it's just that with Hua Yiren's temper, she won't ask for more. Five taels of moon silver, more or less, is in line with her positioning for Hua Yiren - Qing guest.
Hua Zhuo quickly saluted again and said, "Hello, Sister Jin."
"I don't like these gold and silver ones the most. I hate that the gemstones are too shiny." Hua Yiren complained helplessly, but did not take off the silver comb. She went out with Hua Zhuo today, so she had to maintain a certain scene.
"Although the exact date has not been determined, there will be many good days next year, and I'm afraid it's very close. Although I may not be able to stay in Beijing until my sister's big day, we are destined to meet each other today. This Ruyiluozi is exactly what I want to use. It's made of bright red string, so I'll give it to my sister as a congratulatory gift first."

"I don't like these gold and silver ones the most. I hate that the gemstones are too shiny." Hua Yiren complained helplessly, but did not take off the silver comb. She went out with Hua Zhuo today, so she had to maintain a certain scene.
Hua Yiren didn't expect that she would say these words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "You are a lucky person. You came up with this idea. But this way, it will teach me that I can't be lazy anymore. No matter what, I agreed to it. If you want to go out to socialize in the future, just take me with you. I dare not say anything else. In the past two years, I have been with my aunt, and I have learned some things that I cannot tell you. I know you somewhat. If I follow you, I can prevent you from being plotted against. You don’t need to worry about the girl’s affairs. When I had time, I called a servant to pick one. When my aunt left, she still left some for me. Although the money is not much for self-defense, it is enough to buy a girl."
After getting in the car, Hua Zhuo suddenly thought thoughtfully and said: "Sister Yiren, it's really time for you to have a girl by your side. Last time you suffered from the cold, you didn't pay attention to putting on more clothes when you got up at night. If there was a girl, If you take care of me, your suffering will not be in vain."
Li Yurong was so embarrassed that she pinched Bai Lu and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
"I just want it to look good on you."
Hua Zhuo could hear the undetectable pride in her tone, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Since Hua Yiren said this, it would be a bit insulting if she forced another girl on her.

Cheng Ning blushed and quickly pulled another girl and said, "This is the third young lady of the Jingzhao Yin family, Li Yurong."
Hua Zhuo smiled and acted like a rogue, then urged the two girls to put the Yingluo and Pisces Luozi into a brocade box, and then ordered Qiqiao to notify Ah Fu to prepare the car.
After getting in the car, Hua Zhuo suddenly thought thoughtfully and said: "Sister Yiren, it's really time for you to have a girl by your side. Last time you suffered from the cold, you didn't pay attention to putting on more clothes when you got up at night. If there was a girl, If you take care of me, your suffering will not be in vain."
The other girls in the room were not as casual as Zhuang Jing, and they all stood up to greet them. Hua Zhuo quickly returned the greetings one by one. Looking around, only Bai Lu was recognized by her, and the other two girls were unfamiliar.
Hua Zhuo was startled for a moment, then realized that if the wedding was really approaching, according to custom, a young couple could not meet each other. Since Li Yurong is here today, it is obvious that the exact date has not been decided yet. After the so-called spring, but It's Bai Lu's joke.

Last time you suffered from the cold, you didn't pay attention to putting on more clothes when you got up at night. If there was a girl, If you take care of me, your suffering will not be in vain."
She still didn't introduce her thoroughly this time. Bai Lu pursed her lips and smiled and added another sentence for her: "She is also sister Cheng's prospective sister-in-law."
Five taels is actually not much, but if you buy some rouge gouache and eat it, you will definitely have a surplus.

The most critical issue is that when Hua Yiren is old enough to get married, no matter what family she will marry in the future, she cannot live without a dowry girl. It would have been fine before, but now that Hua Daoan and his son have relied on Rong'an Hall, then she, the eldest lady of Rong'an Hall, has to think more about Hua Yiren. The dowry girl must be someone she can trust, and she cannot wait until it comes. Add someone else temporarily when you get married.

Five taels of moon silver, more or less, is in line with her positioning for Hua Yiren - Qing guest.
She understood her situation very well. Although the fifteenth aunt left her here with the intention of helping Hua Zhuo, she was more interested in using her as a hostage to contain Hua Daoan and his son. However, this was not clear. She said, and Hua Zhuo herself is not a fool, and she is very well-founded in her advances and retreats. She can't help much at all, so she calls herself a freeloader.
Hua Yiren brushed the corner of her skirt and said calmly: "I'm not a wealthy lady. I have hands and feet. I can do anything by myself. I'm always uncomfortable with someone around me. Besides, I don't have much, so I can't do anything." If you can’t afford to raise a girl, you can just raise me. Anyway, I can still do something for you. If I teach you how to raise my girl, won’t it seem like I’m too ignorant?”
Hua Zhuo smiled and followed Cheng Ning into the house.
Hua Zhuo said this solemnly. Hua Yiren stared at her for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."
Zhuang Jing was about to come over to talk to her when she suddenly saw Hua Yiren coming too. She suddenly felt strange and simply left Hua Zhuo, took Hua Yiren's hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to come out? I still treat you like a step in the face." I haven’t even left the house yet.”
She understood her situation very well. Although the fifteenth aunt left her here with the intention of helping Hua Zhuo, she was more interested in using her as a hostage to contain Hua Daoan and his son. However, this was not clear. She said, and Hua Zhuo herself is not a fool, and she is very well-founded in her advances and retreats. She can't help much at all, so she calls herself a freeloader.

If I teach you how to raise my girl, won’t it seem like I’m too ignorant?”
Zhuang Jing and Hua Yiren were whispering when they suddenly caught a glimpse of the red and green beads in the brocade box. She hurriedly left Hua Yiren and rushed forward, saying: "Sister Zhuo'er, you are quick to sell those beads you bought a few days ago. They are all strung together, let me take a look... Hey, this plum blossom is the most elegant and beautiful, I will keep it for sister Wan'er and take it back to her, she will definitely like it."
While walking around, they didn't have time to express their feelings that the minister of household affairs was as simple as the rumors. They arrived at the back house in a few steps. Before they entered, there was a string of laughter like silver bells in the room. Hua Zhuo could hear it clearly. It was Zhuang Jing's voice. This girl is about to leave Beijing and return to her hometown. She has been running around outside every day for the past few days, saying goodbye to the girls she got along with one by one. Cheng Ning's place is probably her last stop. From here she laughs. You can hear the sound, extraordinarily indulgent and happy.
She still didn't introduce her thoroughly this time. Bai Lu pursed her lips and smiled and added another sentence for her: "She is also sister Cheng's prospective sister-in-law."
Hua Zhuo could hear the undetectable pride in her tone, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Since Hua Yiren said this, it would be a bit insulting if she forced another girl on her.
Bai Lu giggled and dodged, saying: "When spring comes in the next year or so, you will marry into the Cheng family. It will only be a matter of two or three months. Why don't we let others talk about it?"

"I don't like these gold and silver ones the most. I hate that the gemstones are too shiny." Hua Yiren complained helplessly, but did not take off the silver comb. She went out with Hua Zhuo today, so she had to maintain a certain scene.

After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, she came up with an idea and said with a smile: "Sister said, this is because I didn't think well. In fact, sister has helped me a lot these days, but I didn't think about her, so I was a bit unfair. My sister. In this way, let’s make it clear today. My sister is by my side, giving me advice and doing things on weekdays. I don’t let her worry in vain, just like the Qingke raised by my father, I pay my sister monthly. Monthly salary, five taels of silver per month. Sister can use this money to buy food, clothing, girls, or save it. I don’t care at all. Sister uses it at her own discretion."
"I don't like these gold and silver ones the most. I hate that the gemstones are too shiny." Hua Yiren complained helplessly, but did not take off the silver comb. She went out with Hua Zhuo today, so she had to maintain a certain scene.
Hua Zhuo really couldn't stand it, so he stuck a silver comb diagonally in her bun. The red gemstones inlaid on the silver comb shone dazzlingly in the sun, finally adding a bit of brightness to her.
There is no need to mention trivial matters. It was the third day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. Thinking that the protagonist today was Cheng Ning, Hua Zhuo picked up a simple dress. He wore a yellow shirt and a green satin jacket, which looked so beautiful and pleasant. Yu also appeared a bit low-key and ordinary. She didn't want to take away the glory of the birthday girl, but since it was a Hebang, it was not good to be too plain, so she put some effort into the decoration and hung a silver necklace around her waist.

The heart matches perfectly with a pair of peony pattern embroidered shoes on the feet.
Hua Zhuo liked it in his heart, but complained on his face: "I know you haven't tried your best by my side, and you still have to rely on money."

"Sister Hua, several of my good friends are here, so I'm leaving you alone. The wine is warmed in the room, so you have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty first."
As today's birthday girl, Cheng Ning had obviously dressed up specially. She was wearing a red shirt and skirt embroidered with magpies and primrose patterns. Her hair was braided into two buns, with a circle of pink plum blossoms inserted at the bottom. , against her rosy round face, she looked particularly festive and pretty.
Hua Yiren didn't expect that she would say these words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "You are a lucky person. You came up with this idea.

Hua Yiren rolled his eyes at her and said: "It's your turn to practice more. If I help you more, it may not be a good thing. It's just that I thought about it and saved some dowry money for myself, so I agreed to you, otherwise Who cares about you? I'm just a freeloader."
Cheng Ning blushed and quickly pulled another girl and said, "This is the third young lady of the Jingzhao Yin family, Li Yurong."

The steward's mother reported through the curtain outside, and Zhuang Jing's laughter stopped immediately. Then the curtain was lifted, and the first one to come out was not her, but Cheng Ning.
Since she wants to go out with Hua Zhuo to socialize, it only needs to be done once or twice. If the number of times is too many, she will have to have a girl by her side. Not only will she be shabby, but she will also lose Hua Zhuo's face.
Li Yurong was so embarrassed that she pinched Bai Lu and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
Zhuang Jing and Hua Yiren were whispering when they suddenly caught a glimpse of the red and green beads in the brocade box. She hurriedly left Hua Yiren and rushed forward, saying: "Sister Zhuo'er, you are quick to sell those beads you bought a few days ago. They are all strung together, let me take a look...

Hua Zhuo liked it in his heart, but complained on his face: "I know you haven't tried your best by my side, and you still have to rely on money."
While they were talking, the Cheng family had already arrived. Qiqiao stepped forward to hand over the post, and a steward mother came out to greet them and led them in through the corner door. Hua Zhuo privately looked at Cheng's house and saw that it was just an ordinary house with two entrances. The place was more than half smaller than her old Taiyechi house. The walls and window lattice were obviously old, and only the window paper was newly pasted, obviously for the New Year. Jicai specially replaced the old paper.
"I don't like these gold and silver ones the most. I hate that the gemstones are too shiny." Hua Yiren complained helplessly, but did not take off the silver comb. She went out with Hua Zhuo today, so she had to maintain a certain scene.
Hua Zhuo came well prepared, so naturally he didn't just bring a congratulatory gift for Cheng Ning. Baxiu held two brocade boxes in his hands. Hearing his lady's words, he quickly opened one of them and took out the red brocade box. son.
"Sister Hua, several of my good friends are here, so I'm leaving you alone. The wine is warmed in the room, so you have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty first."
Hua Zhuo quickly saluted again and said, "Hello, Sister Jin."

Li Yurong blushed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. The date hasn't been decided yet, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come today."
"I just want it to look good on you."
She understood her situation very well. Although the fifteenth aunt left her here with the intention of helping Hua Zhuo, she was more interested in using her as a hostage to contain Hua Daoan and his son. However, this was not clear.

The steward's mother reported through the curtain outside, and Zhuang Jing's laughter stopped immediately. Then the curtain was lifted, and the first one to come out was not her, but Cheng Ning.
The girl who was introduced smiled and said: "Look how you introduced me." After that, she took the initiative and said: "My surname is Jin, my maiden name is a single character, my name is Xue, and I am my cousin Ning'er."
Hua Zhuo smiled and acted like a rogue, then urged the two girls to put the Yingluo and Pisces Luozi into a brocade box, and then ordered Qiqiao to notify Ah Fu to prepare the car.
After getting in the car, Hua Zhuo suddenly thought thoughtfully and said: "Sister Yiren, it's really time for you to have a girl by your side. Last time you suffered from the cold, you didn't pay attention to putting on more clothes when you got up at night. If there was a girl, If you take care of me, your suffering will not be in vain."
Hua Zhuo then made a joke and said, "In that case, I would like to congratulate Sister Li."
Hua Zhuo liked it in his heart, but complained on his face: "I know you haven't tried your best by my side, and you still have to rely on money."
"Sister, you don't have to belittle yourself. Besides, I have kept my sister by my side and I have never felt that my sister is just doing nothing. We are sisters. Although we are far apart, I have always been sincere to my sister. When my sister speaks like this, it makes me sad."

Li Yurong blushed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. The date hasn't been decided yet, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come today."
She still didn't introduce her thoroughly this time. Bai Lu pursed her lips and smiled and added another sentence for her: "She is also sister Cheng's prospective sister-in-law."
Hua Zhuo said this solemnly. Hua Yiren stared at her for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."
Hua Zhuo said this solemnly. Hua Yiren stared at her for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."
The most critical issue is that when Hua Yiren is old enough to get married, no matter what family she will marry in the future, she cannot live without a dowry girl. It would have been fine before, but now that Hua Daoan and his son have relied on Rong'an Hall, then she, the eldest lady of Rong'an Hall, has to think more about Hua Yiren. The dowry girl must be someone she can trust, and she cannot wait until it comes. Add someone else temporarily when you get married.
Hua Zhuo smiled and followed Cheng Ning into the house.
Hua Zhuo liked it in his heart, but complained on his face: "I know you haven't tried your best by my side, and you still have to rely on money."
The other girls in the room were not as casual as Zhuang Jing, and they all stood up to greet them. Hua Zhuo quickly returned the greetings one by one. Looking around, only Bai Lu was recognized by her, and the other two girls were unfamiliar.
Hua Zhuo said this solemnly. Hua Yiren stared at her for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."
Hua Zhuo was startled for a moment, then realized that if the wedding was really approaching, according to custom, a young couple could not meet each other. Since Li Yurong is here today, it is obvious that the exact date has not been decided yet. After the so-called spring, but It's Bai Lu's joke.
"Miss...the eighth young lady of the Hua family has arrived."
While they were talking, the Cheng family had already arrived. Qiqiao stepped forward to hand over the post, and a steward mother came out to greet them and led them in through the corner door. Hua Zhuo privately looked at Cheng's house and saw that it was just an ordinary house with two entrances. The place was more than half smaller than her old Taiyechi house. The walls and window lattice were obviously old, and only the window paper was newly pasted, obviously for the New Year. Jicai specially replaced the old paper.
"Sister Hua, several of my good friends are here, so I'm leaving you alone. The wine is warmed in the room, so you have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty first."
She still didn't introduce her thoroughly this time. Bai Lu pursed her lips and smiled and added another sentence for her: "She is also sister Cheng's prospective sister-in-law."
Hua Yiren didn't expect that she would say these words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "You are a lucky person. You came up with this idea. But this way, it will teach me that I can't be lazy anymore. No matter what, I agreed to it. If you want to go out to socialize in the future, just take me with you. I dare not say anything else. In the past two years, I have been with my aunt, and I have learned some things that I cannot tell you. I know you somewhat. If I follow you, I can prevent you from being plotted against. You don’t need to worry about the girl’s affairs. When I had time, I called a servant to pick one. When my aunt left, she still left some for me. Although the money is not much for self-defense, it is enough to buy a girl."
While walking around, they didn't have time to express their feelings that the minister of household affairs was as simple as the rumors. They arrived at the back house in a few steps. Before they entered, there was a string of laughter like silver bells in the room. Hua Zhuo could hear it clearly. It was Zhuang Jing's voice. This girl is about to leave Beijing and return to her hometown. She has been running around outside every day for the past few days, saying goodbye to the girls she got along with one by one. Cheng Ning's place is probably her last stop. From here she laughs. You can hear the sound, extraordinarily indulgent and happy.
Hua Zhuo came well prepared, so naturally he didn't just bring a congratulatory gift for Cheng Ning. Baxiu held two brocade boxes in his hands. Hearing his lady's words, he quickly opened one of them and took out the red brocade box. son.
As today's birthday girl, Cheng Ning had obviously dressed up specially. She was wearing a red shirt and skirt embroidered with magpies and primrose patterns. Her hair was braided into two buns, with a circle of pink plum blossoms inserted at the bottom. , against her rosy round face, she looked particularly festive and pretty.
Hua Yiren didn't expect that she would say these words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "You are a lucky person. You came up with this idea.

You don’t need to worry about the girl’s affairs. When I had time, I called a servant to pick one. When my aunt left, she still left some for me. Although the money is not much for self-defense, it is enough to buy a girl."
Zhuang Jing was about to come over to talk to her when she suddenly saw Hua Yiren coming too. She suddenly felt strange and simply left Hua Zhuo, took Hua Yiren's hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to come out? I still treat you like a step in the face." I haven’t even left the house yet.”
"I just want it to look good on you."
Since she wants to go out with Hua Zhuo to socialize, it only needs to be done once or twice. If the number of times is too many, she will have to have a girl by her side. Not only will she be shabby, but she will also lose Hua Zhuo's face.
Bai Lu giggled and dodged, saying: "When spring comes in the next year or so, you will marry into the Cheng family. It will only be a matter of two or three months. Why don't we let others talk about it?"
Zhuang Jing was about to come over to talk to her when she suddenly saw Hua Yiren coming too. She suddenly felt strange and simply left Hua Zhuo, took Hua Yiren's hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to come out? I still treat you like a step in the face." I haven’t even left the house yet.”
"Miss...the eighth young lady of the Hua family has arrived."
Hua Yiren brushed the corner of her skirt and said calmly: "I'm not a wealthy lady. I have hands and feet. I can do anything by myself. I'm always uncomfortable with someone around me. Besides, I don't have much, so I can't do anything." If you can’t afford to raise a girl, you can just raise me. Anyway, I can still do something for you. If I teach you how to raise my girl, won’t it seem like I’m too ignorant?”
Zhuang Jing and Hua Yiren were whispering when they suddenly caught a glimpse of the red and green beads in the brocade box. She hurriedly left Hua Yiren and rushed forward, saying: "Sister Zhuo'er, you are quick to sell those beads you bought a few days ago. They are all strung together, let me take a look... Hey, this plum blossom is the most elegant and beautiful, I will keep it for sister Wan'er and take it back to her, she will definitely like it."

Hey, this plum blossom is the most elegant and beautiful, I will keep it for sister Wan'er and take it back to her, she will definitely like it."
"I'll be fined with wine as soon as I come. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
Hua Zhuo came well prepared, so naturally he didn't just bring a congratulatory gift for Cheng Ning. Baxiu held two brocade boxes in his hands. Hearing his lady's words, he quickly opened one of them and took out the red brocade box. son.
Hua Zhuo said this solemnly. Hua Yiren stared at her for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."

If I teach you how to raise my girl, won’t it seem like I’m too ignorant?”
The steward's mother reported through the curtain outside, and Zhuang Jing's laughter stopped immediately. Then the curtain was lifted, and the first one to come out was not her, but Cheng Ning.
"Sister, you don't have to belittle yourself. Besides, I have kept my sister by my side and I have never felt that my sister is just doing nothing. We are sisters. Although we are far apart, I have always been sincere to my sister. When my sister speaks like this, it makes me sad."
Five taels is actually not much, but if you buy some rouge gouache and eat it, you will definitely have a surplus. With this surplus money, it may not be enough to raise an outstanding big girl like Qiqiao and Baxiu, but if Raising a second-class girl is barely enough. It's not that Hua Zhuo doesn't want to give more, it's just that with Hua Yiren's temper, she won't ask for more. Five taels of moon silver, more or less, is in line with her positioning for Hua Yiren - Qing guest.
Li Yurong was so embarrassed that she pinched Bai Lu and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
"Sister Hua, several of my good friends are here, so I'm leaving you alone. The wine is warmed in the room, so you have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty first."
Zhuang Jing was about to come over to talk to her when she suddenly saw Hua Yiren coming too. She suddenly felt strange and simply left Hua Zhuo, took Hua Yiren's hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to come out? I still treat you like a step in the face." I haven’t even left the house yet.”
Hua Zhuo really couldn't stand it, so he stuck a silver comb diagonally in her bun. The red gemstones inlaid on the silver comb shone dazzlingly in the sun, finally adding a bit of brightness to her.
After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, she came up with an idea and said with a smile: "Sister said, this is because I didn't think well. In fact, sister has helped me a lot these days, but I didn't think about her, so I was a bit unfair. My sister. In this way, let’s make it clear today. My sister is by my side, giving me advice and doing things on weekdays. I don’t let her worry in vain, just like the Qingke raised by my father, I pay my sister monthly. Monthly salary, five taels of silver per month. Sister can use this money to buy food, clothing, girls, or save it. I don’t care at all. Sister uses it at her own discretion."
Hua Zhuo liked it in his heart, but complained on his face: "I know you haven't tried your best by my side, and you still have to rely on money."
"I just want it to look good on you."
As today's birthday girl, Cheng Ning had obviously dressed up specially. She was wearing a red shirt and skirt embroidered with magpies and primrose patterns. Her hair was braided into two buns, with a circle of pink plum blossoms inserted at the bottom. , against her rosy round face, she looked particularly festive and pretty.
She understood her situation very well. Although the fifteenth aunt left her here with the intention of helping Hua Zhuo, she was more interested in using her as a hostage to contain Hua Daoan and his son. However, this was not clear. She said, and Hua Zhuo herself is not a fool, and she is very well-founded in her advances and retreats. She can't help much at all, so she calls herself a freeloader.
The most critical issue is that when Hua Yiren is old enough to get married, no matter what family she will marry in the future, she cannot live without a dowry girl. It would have been fine before, but now that Hua Daoan and his son have relied on Rong'an Hall, then she, the eldest lady of Rong'an Hall, has to think more about Hua Yiren. The dowry girl must be someone she can trust, and she cannot wait until it comes. Add someone else temporarily when you get married.
Hua Zhuo smiled and followed Cheng Ning into the house.
There is no need to mention trivial matters. It was the third day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. Thinking that the protagonist today was Cheng Ning, Hua Zhuo picked up a simple dress. He wore a yellow shirt and a green satin jacket, which looked so beautiful and pleasant. Yu also appeared a bit low-key and ordinary. She didn't want to take away the glory of the birthday girl, but since it was a Hebang, it was not good to be too plain, so she put some effort into the decoration and hung a silver necklace around her waist. I made an exquisite hollow sachet, picked a pair of plum blossom earrings inlaid with opal, and put a hairpin on my head, which was modeled after palace flowers, in the shape of a peony, with a yellow agate stamen in the middle. The heart matches perfectly with a pair of peony pattern embroidered shoes on the feet.
She still didn't introduce her thoroughly this time. Bai Lu pursed her lips and smiled and added another sentence for her: "She is also sister Cheng's prospective sister-in-law."
"I'll be fined with wine as soon as I come. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

Hua Zhuo smiled and followed Cheng Ning into the house.
She still didn't introduce her thoroughly this time. Bai Lu pursed her lips and smiled and added another sentence for her: "She is also sister Cheng's prospective sister-in-law."
"Although the exact date has not been determined, there will be many good days next year, and I'm afraid it's very close. Although I may not be able to stay in Beijing until my sister's big day, we are destined to meet each other today. This Ruyiluozi is exactly what I want to use. It's made of bright red string, so I'll give it to my sister as a congratulatory gift first."
Hua Yiren didn't expect that she would say these words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "You are a lucky person. You came up with this idea. But this way, it will teach me that I can't be lazy anymore. No matter what, I agreed to it. If you want to go out to socialize in the future, just take me with you. I dare not say anything else.

Although the money is not much for self-defense, it is enough to buy a girl."
Hua Zhuo could hear the undetectable pride in her tone, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Since Hua Yiren said this, it would be a bit insulting if she forced another girl on her.
Bai Lu giggled and dodged, saying: "When spring comes in the next year or so, you will marry into the Cheng family. It will only be a matter of two or three months. Why don't we let others talk about it?"
Zhuang Jing was about to come over to talk to her when she suddenly saw Hua Yiren coming too. She suddenly felt strange and simply left Hua Zhuo, took Hua Yiren's hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to come out? I still treat you like a step in the face." I haven’t even left the house yet.”
After getting in the car, Hua Zhuo suddenly thought thoughtfully and said: "Sister Yiren, it's really time for you to have a girl by your side. Last time you suffered from the cold, you didn't pay attention to putting on more clothes when you got up at night. If there was a girl, If you take care of me, your suffering will not be in vain."
"I'll be fined with wine as soon as I come. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
The other girls in the room were not as casual as Zhuang Jing, and they all stood up to greet them. Hua Zhuo quickly returned the greetings one by one. Looking around, only Bai Lu was recognized by her, and the other two girls were unfamiliar.

"Miss...the eighth young lady of the Hua family has arrived."
The other girls in the room were not as casual as Zhuang Jing, and they all stood up to greet them. Hua Zhuo quickly returned the greetings one by one. Looking around, only Bai Lu was recognized by her, and the other two girls were unfamiliar.
Bai Lu giggled and dodged, saying: "When spring comes in the next year or so, you will marry into the Cheng family. It will only be a matter of two or three months. Why don't we let others talk about it?"
Cheng Ning introduced from the side: "Sister Hua, this is my cousin. Cousin, this is the eighth young lady of the Hua family that you often talk about and want to know."
The girl who was introduced smiled and said: "Look how you introduced me." After that, she took the initiative and said: "My surname is Jin, my maiden name is a single character, my name is Xue, and I am my cousin Ning'er."
Li Yurong blushed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. The date hasn't been decided yet, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come today."

Although the money is not much for self-defense, it is enough to buy a girl."
Hua Yiren rolled his eyes at her and said: "It's your turn to practice more. If I help you more, it may not be a good thing. It's just that I thought about it and saved some dowry money for myself, so I agreed to you, otherwise Who cares about you? I'm just a freeloader."
"Sister Hua, several of my good friends are here, so I'm leaving you alone. The wine is warmed in the room, so you have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty first."
Hua Zhuo came well prepared, so naturally he didn't just bring a congratulatory gift for Cheng Ning. Baxiu held two brocade boxes in his hands. Hearing his lady's words, he quickly opened one of them and took out the red brocade box. son.
Hua Zhuo quickly saluted again and said, "Hello, Sister Jin."
Hua Zhuo said this solemnly. Hua Yiren stared at her for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."
Hua Zhuo said this solemnly. Hua Yiren stared at her for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."
Hua Zhuo smiled and acted like a rogue, then urged the two girls to put the Yingluo and Pisces Luozi into a brocade box, and then ordered Qiqiao to notify Ah Fu to prepare the car.

Cheng Ning introduced from the side: "Sister Hua, this is my cousin. Cousin, this is the eighth young lady of the Hua family that you often talk about and want to know."
Cheng Ning blushed and quickly pulled another girl and said, "This is the third young lady of the Jingzhao Yin family, Li Yurong."
She understood her situation very well. Although the fifteenth aunt left her here with the intention of helping Hua Zhuo, she was more interested in using her as a hostage to contain Hua Daoan and his son. However, this was not clear. She said, and Hua Zhuo herself is not a fool, and she is very well-founded in her advances and retreats. She can't help much at all, so she calls herself a freeloader.
Li Yurong blushed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. The date hasn't been decided yet, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come today."
Li Yurong blushed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. The date hasn't been decided yet, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come today."
While they were talking, the Cheng family had already arrived. Qiqiao stepped forward to hand over the post, and a steward mother came out to greet them and led them in through the corner door. Hua Zhuo privately looked at Cheng's house and saw that it was just an ordinary house with two entrances. The place was more than half smaller than her old Taiyechi house. The walls and window lattice were obviously old, and only the window paper was newly pasted, obviously for the New Year. Jicai specially replaced the old paper.
"I don't like these gold and silver ones the most. I hate that the gemstones are too shiny." Hua Yiren complained helplessly, but did not take off the silver comb. She went out with Hua Zhuo today, so she had to maintain a certain scene.
There is no need to mention trivial matters. It was the third day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. Thinking that the protagonist today was Cheng Ning, Hua Zhuo picked up a simple dress. He wore a yellow shirt and a green satin jacket, which looked so beautiful and pleasant.

She suddenly felt strange and simply left Hua Zhuo, took Hua Yiren's hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to come out? I still treat you like a step in the face." I haven’t even left the house yet.”
Cheng Ning blushed and quickly pulled another girl and said, "This is the third young lady of the Jingzhao Yin family, Li Yurong."
Hua Zhuo smiled and followed Cheng Ning into the house.
Cheng Ning blushed and quickly pulled another girl and said, "This is the third young lady of the Jingzhao Yin family, Li Yurong."

The heart matches perfectly with a pair of peony pattern embroidered shoes on the feet.
Hua Zhuo smiled and acted like a rogue, then urged the two girls to put the Yingluo and Pisces Luozi into a brocade box, and then ordered Qiqiao to notify Ah Fu to prepare the car.
While walking around, they didn't have time to express their feelings that the minister of household affairs was as simple as the rumors. They arrived at the back house in a few steps. Before they entered, there was a string of laughter like silver bells in the room. Hua Zhuo could hear it clearly. It was Zhuang Jing's voice. This girl is about to leave Beijing and return to her hometown. She has been running around outside every day for the past few days, saying goodbye to the girls she got along with one by one. Cheng Ning's place is probably her last stop. From here she laughs. You can hear the sound, extraordinarily indulgent and happy.
Bai Lu giggled and dodged, saying: "When spring comes in the next year or so, you will marry into the Cheng family. It will only be a matter of two or three months. Why don't we let others talk about it?"
"Sister Hua, several of my good friends are here, so I'm leaving you alone. The wine is warmed in the room, so you have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty first."
The most critical issue is that when Hua Yiren is old enough to get married, no matter what family she will marry in the future, she cannot live without a dowry girl. It would have been fine before, but now that Hua Daoan and his son have relied on Rong'an Hall, then she, the eldest lady of Rong'an Hall, has to think more about Hua Yiren. The dowry girl must be someone she can trust, and she cannot wait until it comes. Add someone else temporarily when you get married.
"I just want it to look good on you."
Hua Yiren brushed the corner of her skirt and said calmly: "I'm not a wealthy lady. I have hands and feet. I can do anything by myself. I'm always uncomfortable with someone around me. Besides, I don't have much, so I can't do anything." If you can’t afford to raise a girl, you can just raise me. Anyway, I can still do something for you. If I teach you how to raise my girl, won’t it seem like I’m too ignorant?”
Hua Zhuo then made a joke and said, "In that case, I would like to congratulate Sister Li."
Hua Yiren rolled his eyes at her and said: "It's your turn to practice more. If I help you more, it may not be a good thing. It's just that I thought about it and saved some dowry money for myself, so I agreed to you, otherwise Who cares about you? I'm just a freeloader."
Hua Zhuo said this solemnly. Hua Yiren stared at her for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."
"I don't like these gold and silver ones the most. I hate that the gemstones are too shiny." Hua Yiren complained helplessly, but did not take off the silver comb. She went out with Hua Zhuo today, so she had to maintain a certain scene.
She still didn't introduce her thoroughly this time. Bai Lu pursed her lips and smiled and added another sentence for her: "She is also sister Cheng's prospective sister-in-law."
As today's birthday girl, Cheng Ning had obviously dressed up specially. She was wearing a red shirt and skirt embroidered with magpies and primrose patterns. Her hair was braided into two buns, with a circle of pink plum blossoms inserted at the bottom. , against her rosy round face, she looked particularly festive and pretty.
Li Yurong blushed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. The date hasn't been decided yet, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come today."
There is no need to mention trivial matters. It was the third day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. Thinking that the protagonist today was Cheng Ning, Hua Zhuo picked up a simple dress. He wore a yellow shirt and a green satin jacket, which looked so beautiful and pleasant. Yu also appeared a bit low-key and ordinary. She didn't want to take away the glory of the birthday girl, but since it was a Hebang, it was not good to be too plain, so she put some effort into the decoration and hung a silver necklace around her waist. I made an exquisite hollow sachet, picked a pair of plum blossom earrings inlaid with opal, and put a hairpin on my head, which was modeled after palace flowers, in the shape of a peony, with a yellow agate stamen in the middle. The heart matches perfectly with a pair of peony pattern embroidered shoes on the feet.
Cheng Ning introduced from the side: "Sister Hua, this is my cousin. Cousin, this is the eighth young lady of the Hua family that you often talk about and want to know."
"Sister, you don't have to belittle yourself. Besides, I have kept my sister by my side and I have never felt that my sister is just doing nothing. We are sisters. Although we are far apart, I have always been sincere to my sister. When my sister speaks like this, it makes me sad."
Hua Zhuo smiled and acted like a rogue, then urged the two girls to put the Yingluo and Pisces Luozi into a brocade box, and then ordered Qiqiao to notify Ah Fu to prepare the car.
Hua Zhuo was startled for a moment, then realized that if the wedding was really approaching, according to custom, a young couple could not meet each other. Since Li Yurong is here today, it is obvious that the exact date has not been decided yet. After the so-called spring, but It's Bai Lu's joke.
Bai Lu giggled and dodged, saying: "When spring comes in the next year or so, you will marry into the Cheng family. It will only be a matter of two or three months. Why don't we let others talk about it?"
"I'll be fined with wine as soon as I come. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
"Sister, you don't have to belittle yourself. Besides, I have kept my sister by my side and I have never felt that my sister is just doing nothing. We are sisters. Although we are far apart, I have always been sincere to my sister. When my sister speaks like this, it makes me sad."
She understood her situation very well. Although the fifteenth aunt left her here with the intention of helping Hua Zhuo, she was more interested in using her as a hostage to contain Hua Daoan and his son. However, this was not clear. She said, and Hua Zhuo herself is not a fool, and she is very well-founded in her advances and retreats. She can't help much at all, so she calls herself a freeloader.
While walking around, they didn't have time to express their feelings that the minister of household affairs was as simple as the rumors. They arrived at the back house in a few steps. Before they entered, there was a string of laughter like silver bells in the room. Hua Zhuo could hear it clearly. It was Zhuang Jing's voice. This girl is about to leave Beijing and return to her hometown. She has been running around outside every day for the past few days, saying goodbye to the girls she got along with one by one. Cheng Ning's place is probably her last stop. From here she laughs. You can hear the sound, extraordinarily indulgent and happy.
Hua Zhuo said this solemnly. Hua Yiren stared at her for a long time, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."
"Although the exact date has not been determined, there will be many good days next year, and I'm afraid it's very close. Although I may not be able to stay in Beijing until my sister's big day, we are destined to meet each other today. This Ruyiluozi is exactly what I want to use. It's made of bright red string, so I'll give it to my sister as a congratulatory gift first."
"Sister, you don't have to belittle yourself. Besides, I have kept my sister by my side and I have never felt that my sister is just doing nothing. We are sisters. Although we are far apart, I have always been sincere to my sister. When my sister speaks like this, it makes me sad."

Bai Lu giggled and dodged, saying: "When spring comes in the next year or so, you will marry into the Cheng family. It will only be a matter of two or three months. Why don't we let others talk about it?"
Zhuang Jing was about to come over to talk to her when she suddenly saw Hua Yiren coming too. She suddenly felt strange and simply left Hua Zhuo, took Hua Yiren's hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to come out? I still treat you like a step in the face." I haven’t even left the house yet.”
Hua Zhuo came well prepared, so naturally he didn't just bring a congratulatory gift for Cheng Ning. Baxiu held two brocade boxes in his hands. Hearing his lady's words, he quickly opened one of them and took out the red brocade box. son.
After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, she came up with an idea and said with a smile: "Sister said, this is because I didn't think well. In fact, sister has helped me a lot these days, but I didn't think about her, so I was a bit unfair. My sister. In this way, let’s make it clear today. My sister is by my side, giving me advice and doing things on weekdays. I don’t let her worry in vain, just like the Qingke raised by my father, I pay my sister monthly. Monthly salary, five taels of silver per month. Sister can use this money to buy food, clothing, girls, or save it. I don’t care at all. Sister uses it at her own discretion."
Hua Zhuo could hear the undetectable pride in her tone, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Since Hua Yiren said this, it would be a bit insulting if she forced another girl on her.
Cheng Ning blushed and quickly pulled another girl and said, "This is the third young lady of the Jingzhao Yin family, Li Yurong."
Hua Zhuo quickly saluted again and said, "Hello, Sister Jin."
"I just want it to look good on you."
Hua Zhuo came well prepared, so naturally he didn't just bring a congratulatory gift for Cheng Ning. Baxiu held two brocade boxes in his hands. Hearing his lady's words, he quickly opened one of them and took out the red brocade box. son.
Hua Zhuo then made a joke and said, "In that case, I would like to congratulate Sister Li."
Hua Zhuo really couldn't stand it, so he stuck a silver comb diagonally in her bun. The red gemstones inlaid on the silver comb shone dazzlingly in the sun, finally adding a bit of brightness to her.
Zhuang Jing and Hua Yiren were whispering when they suddenly caught a glimpse of the red and green beads in the brocade box. She hurriedly left Hua Yiren and rushed forward, saying: "Sister Zhuo'er, you are quick to sell those beads you bought a few days ago. They are all strung together, let me take a look... Hey, this plum blossom is the most elegant and beautiful, I will keep it for sister Wan'er and take it back to her, she will definitely like it."
While walking around, they didn't have time to express their feelings that the minister of household affairs was as simple as the rumors. They arrived at the back house in a few steps. Before they entered, there was a string of laughter like silver bells in the room. Hua Zhuo could hear it clearly. It was Zhuang Jing's voice.

Cheng Ning's place is probably her last stop. From here she laughs. You can hear the sound, extraordinarily indulgent and happy.
Hua Yiren didn't expect that she would say these words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "You are a lucky person. You came up with this idea. But this way, it will teach me that I can't be lazy anymore. No matter what, I agreed to it. If you want to go out to socialize in the future, just take me with you. I dare not say anything else. In the past two years, I have been with my aunt, and I have learned some things that I cannot tell you. I know you somewhat. If I follow you, I can prevent you from being plotted against. You don’t need to worry about the girl’s affairs. When I had time, I called a servant to pick one. When my aunt left, she still left some for me. Although the money is not much for self-defense, it is enough to buy a girl."
The other girls in the room were not as casual as Zhuang Jing, and they all stood up to greet them. Hua Zhuo quickly returned the greetings one by one. Looking around, only Bai Lu was recognized by her, and the other two girls were unfamiliar.
Zhuang Jing was about to come over to talk to her when she suddenly saw Hua Yiren coming too. She suddenly felt strange and simply left Hua Zhuo, took Hua Yiren's hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to come out? I still treat you like a step in the face." I haven’t even left the house yet.”
"Although the exact date has not been determined, there will be many good days next year, and I'm afraid it's very close.

It's made of bright red string, so I'll give it to my sister as a congratulatory gift first."
Since she wants to go out with Hua Zhuo to socialize, it only needs to be done once or twice. If the number of times is too many, she will have to have a girl by her side. Not only will she be shabby, but she will also lose Hua Zhuo's face.
