Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 116 Getting to know
Zhuhua is indeed very ordinary in the eyes of outsiders.Her appearance is not good-looking, but she is not ugly, and her slender eyebrows give people a very close feeling.The same eyebrows that grow on the golden flower are calm, and those that grow on the silver flower are arrogant.Now those who know the three sisters will not be deceived by these eyebrows: the calm-looking Jin Hua heard that she once committed a murder in the street, and beat her fiancé with a thick stick, and seemed to break his leg; The seemingly proud Yinhua married a farmer, and she heard that the man didn't want to marry and quietly ran back home, but it was pitiful that the people in the Cheng family forced her to propose marriage; by analogy, the seemingly ordinary Zhuhua must also It's not common, it's just that you can't see it yet.

Although Zhuhua had heard of this wave of rumors, she didn't take it to heart. Anyway, it would soon be replaced by new rumors.

Jiang Sanniang looked at Zhuhua for a while, feeling vaguely that she had won, she couldn't help but smiled complacently, and even had a better attitude towards Xu Qingqing.

"Sister Xu, don't you want to introduce me? Which family does this sister belong to? She looks familiar."

"This is the third lady of General Xuanwei's Cheng family."

"It turns out that third sister Cheng really looks like your sister."

Zhuhua smiled slightly, and said, "Hello, Third Sister Jiang, it's been rumored in Beijing that all the young ladies in Dingguohou's Mansion are beautiful, and if we meet today, we will know that the rumor is true."

Jiang Sanniang controlled the smile at the corner of her mouth, pretending to be modest and said: "It's all false rumors from outside. My sister was born delicate and lovely, and she will definitely be outstanding in a few years."

"It would be great if I could be half as good as my sister." Zhuhua said with a smile, slandering her heart, why did she call her young again.

Under Xu Qingqing's introduction, she met with several other ladies.Zhuhua praised this young lady's makeup, and praised that young lady's clothing, making the young lady who came with Jiang Sanniang feel that Miss Cheng San was more talkative than her two older sisters.

Come out to socialize, of course, if you can make friends, you will make friends, and if you can't make friends, you will avoid them. Those who look down on her, Zhuhua knows and doesn't care. She is not a gold ingot, so it is impossible for everyone to like her.After the group talked for a while, it was time for the banquet. Zhuhua returned to Cheng's side and sat next to her.

Sitting at this table are all wives who are acquainted with Mrs. Cheng, taking advantage of this time, Mrs. Sun asked Zhuhua to recognize them one by one.Mrs. Yan sitting next to her has always had a good relationship with Mrs. Sun, and even held her hand affectionately when she saw Zhuhua.

"Your mother is finally willing to take you out, and she will come to my yard to play in a few days. My second child brought a talking parrot, which is very interesting."

"Really, you must see it." Zhuhua said with a look of longing, but she didn't really want to go. She knew Mrs. Yan's son, who was very skinny when he was young, and now he is a little more stable when he is older, but The third child is still young, so he is a pest.

Mrs. Yan now has three sons, the youngest of which is two years older than Chang Zi. She has always been looking forward to having a daughter, but after giving birth to three sons in a row, she had to give up. Instead, she brought a daughter born to Tong Fang to raise her. .The girl was already six years old when she was picked up, and Mrs. Yan loved her at first, but later she found that she used to pretend to be pitiful in front of General Yan to speak for her biological mother, so she gave her back to her biological mother.

Among the girls of the younger generation, the one she likes the most is a niece of her mother, she is a sweet-mouthed girl.But if you like it, you like it. When she proposed marriage to her eldest son, she still found a decent and generous one. After all, she will be the head of the family in the future; as for her second son, who is as old as Zhuhua, she wanted to choose a submissive personality, and Zhuhua was also the same. One of the objects she considers, Zhuhua can coax children, she looks like she has a good temper, but she is a little weak and petite, and looks good, it would be good to be a daughter under her knees.

The wife of General Si, the former general of Cheng Dashan, was also at the same table. She sat with her two school-age daughters, Si Wuniang and Si Liuniang.Si Wuniang is from Mrs. Si, and Si Liuniang is from General Si's concubine. Both of them are one year older than Zhuhua. Yinhua said that the relationship between the two is not very good.The relationship between the Sifu and the Chengfu is a bit awkward now, except for giving a gift during the Chinese New Year, there are few other contacts.Zhuhua and the two also smiled and nodded, seeing that the two didn't want to talk to her very much, so she didn't bother to talk to them.

On the contrary, Mrs. Si exchanged some pleasantries with Mrs. Sun, saying, "I heard that your family's second daughter is engaged. Where is the engagement?"

"It's a scholar from our hometown who just got a Jinshi."

"It's not easy." Mrs. Si smiled slightly, then turned her head to talk to others, and didn't say who was not easy.

Mrs. Sun also laughed, and turned her head to wink at Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Yan never liked Mrs. Si's behavior, so she covered her mouth and smiled, which made Mrs. Si turn her head and look at her.Madam Yan was not afraid of her, she looked over indifferently, but Madam Si looked away.Although Si Chengyan and the three generals are all at the same level, General Si's current momentum in Beijing is the weakest.Mrs. Sun didn't care about Mrs. Si because General Si had taken care of Cheng Dashan, but Mrs. Yan didn't have to worry about it.

Zhuhua didn't expect Mrs. Yan to be quite powerful. After a meal, she actually talked to Miss Fang's family who was sitting at the table behind her.

"Sister Wu Chen told me about you a long time ago. My surname is Fang. I'm 14 years old and I'm seven at home."

"Hello, sister Fang Qi, I also heard that sister Chen Wu mentioned you."

Chen Wuniang also got married two years ago. Before she got married, she occasionally met Zhuhua at Fangji Dim Sum Shop. She would always try Zhuhua's new dim sum first. I heard that Master Chen asked her to come.The two chatted a lot, and they would also mention Chen Wuniang's natal Fang's family.Fangfu's scholarly family is the first to be noble, and the No. [-] scholar in the second imperial examination came from the Fang family. Now he is working in Zhongshu Province and is Chen Wuniang's second cousin.Chen Wuniang always looked admiring when she mentioned this cousin, but she also mentioned Fang Jiulang, a cousin of the Fang family, and heard Fang Erlang say that Fang Jiulang's talent was not inferior to him, and he was also the number one scholar.

The Fang family has a large population, and the male and female ranks are separated. This Fang Jiulang was born in the third house of the Fang family. Now at the age of 15, he is already the juror or the head of the case.Fang Erlang came from a big house, and one of his elder brothers traveled to the south of the Yangtze River to study and set up a college there, and he was well-known among the literati.

Fang Qiniang is Fang Jiulang's direct sister, but according to Chen Wuniang, the two have very different personalities.Fang Jiulang doesn't like to talk, he always looks arrogant, but Fang Qiniang is a chatterbox, every time Chen Wuniang goes to Fang's house as a guest, Fang Qiniang always pulls her to talk non-stop, and the two have also chatted about dim sum Chen Wuniang also praised Zhuhua in front of Fang Qiniang, and said that if the two met, they would definitely become friends.

Chen Wuniang also told Zhuhua about this, and Zhuhua thought at the time, how did Chen Wuniang know that she could become friends with a chatterbox?After chatting, Fang Qiniang agrees with what Chen Wuniang said at the beginning. Zhuhua has a good temper and gentleness, and she is a sensible and well-behaved good sister.When the banquet was about to end, Xie Zhenyan came over holding the full moon's child.

The child was still asleep when the guest arrived. After waking up, he first carried him to the male guest's side to meet the guest, and then carried him back to the female guest's side.The female guests looked at the white and tender little doll and all rushed to hug her. Fang Qiniang also took Zhuhua to join in the fun, saying: "My second brother's family also gave birth to a boy doll, only eight. Yue Da, every time I pass by, I always let me hug her."

"Really, my younger brother is too old to care about others." Zhuhua pretended to say enviously.

Mrs. Sun was next to her, and she couldn't help but glanced at her. After the banquet was over, she watched Zhuhua and Fang Qijie bid farewell, and made an appointment for a few days to get together. When the carriage leaned against the carriage and sat crookedly with a bored expression on her face, the emotion in her heart changed direction.

"I thought you were better than your two older sisters, and you finally know how to be a big family."

"I will." Zhuhua said.

"It looks like it."

"It's okay to pretend for a long time, I'm not too tired." Zhuhua yawned and pressed her neck.

Sun frowned involuntarily, "I didn't cry tired, what are you calling! Sit down!"

Zhuhua reluctantly sat up and said seriously, "Yes, Mother has worked the hardest."

"It's good to know." Sun showed a satisfied look, and said, "Remember to get me a set of your little clothes, I want to give it away."

"Who?"

"Sister Yan. She said I looked very different today, so I secretly told her about the corset."

Although not many people buy Zhuhua's underwear outside, it consumes a lot of money internally, so Yinhua and Mrs. Sun like it very much.When Zhuhua heard that it was given as a gift, she inevitably asked, "How about a set of [-] taels of butterfly peony models?"

"What is the cost price?"

"Five taels for you."

"Okay, I'll give you a pair of earrings."

"Take things for money again." Zhuhua complained, and seeing Mrs. Sun squinting at her, she asked with a smile: "Okay, everything mother gave is good, and I don't lose money."

"It's good to know, it's always going to be in your dowry anyway." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Sun asked, "What's the difference between a set of twelve taels and a set of one taels?"

You must know that Sun's and Yinhua usually choose the cheapest one-two set, which is still the cost price. It is the basic model newly added to the shop by Zhuhua to meet the needs of Sun's and Yinhua. It is comparable to other expensive goods. Can't compare.Mrs. Sun didn't understand why the pearls and flowers inside were so expensive, and only rich and stupid people would buy them.Mrs. Sun felt that there was no shortage of such people in Chang'an, but the bead flowers were sold so quietly that few people would buy them.For the sake of her family, she thought of exchanging jewelry for Zhuhua's things, and she could also give away the jewelry she didn't like, killing two birds with one stone.

The next day, when Mrs. Sun got the temperament bra that Zhuhua had said sold for twelve taels without making money or gaining popularity, she realized that there is a reason for expensive.The one-two set is cloth with some simple flowers embroidered on it, and the material is good; the material of the twelve-two set is actually the same as the one-two set, but a layer of tulle is added on the surface, and the same color is embroidered on the yarn. Flowers, and a golden butterfly is sewn in the middle of the bodice.

"Is this pure gold?" Mrs. Sun asked, pointing at the butterfly.

Zhuhua shook her head and said: "Pure gold is too soft, and it is easy to deform when pinched, but it is similar to pure gold, and it is not cheap. Will this one work? I also have a similar design and color with obsidian on it, and the price is a little more expensive than this set." .”

Upon hearing the word expensive, Mrs. Sun immediately shook her head, "No, this set is fine. I think even if your corsets can't be sold, they will be fine as a dowry in the future."

"It looks good." Zhuhua raised an eyebrow at Mrs. Sun and said, "Would you like to give the second sister ten sets to put in the dowry, and I'll give you a discount."

"What kind of discount does my family get? Ten sets at the cost price, and I will bring five sets to your eldest sister first, and Ah Yin will put it aside until she gets married."

"What about mine?" Zhuhua asked Sun with a fawning wink.

"Fold it into jewelry and put it in your dowry."

"Give jewelry again." Zhuhua lost interest all of a sudden, wondering if she could pawn these jewelry.

　When this article was written at 20 yuan, I was a bit sloppy, because the hero and the heroine hadn’t officially met; now that it’s 30 yuan, they still haven’t met, I’m even more sloppy...I’m thinking 40 When it's tense, can it be a little more convenient?
