Zhiruo in Biquan Village naturally didn't know that he hadn't entered the palace yet, so he was remembered, and there was more than one.

Today, there is a guest in the Zhuangzi, Ling Xiang'er, the eldest daughter of Ling Zhengfeng, the head of the household.

After two and a half years, Ling Xiang'er, who had grown up, was even more beautiful, and the moment Ling Xiang'er took off the veil, Zhiruo seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming. Well, she admits that she is also a member of the Yan Kong family, at least in Daying, except for the Xiang family's eldest young Xiang Junran, she has really never seen a more beautiful woman than Ling Xiang'er.

The skin is like condensed fat, the eyes are like stars, the cherry mouth is not dotted and vermilion, a hair is lightly pulled into a falling moon bun with a pearl flower-shaped silver hairpin, and a row of pendant silver tassel curtains are inserted under the bun, which is charming and mixed with the unique purity of the girl, and a smile is moving.

Perhaps because he knew that his appearance was too bright and easy to be enchanting, Ling Xiang'er's clothes and head were all in a relatively light color: a light blue inverted large-sleeved satin skirt, the skirt was embroidered with silver threads, and the pearls the size of rice grains were irregularly embroidered and dotted with dots, and the blooming peonies of water fu-colored bloomed all over the sleeves.

I have to say that this skirt is very lined with Ling Xianger, and perfectly twists the original temperament with seven points of glamour into a charm with three points of purity and two points of coquettishness, charming but not vulgar, glamorous but not demonic.

I haven't seen her for many years, Ling Xiang'er didn't see her in front of Zhiruo, she opened her arms and turned around, and said with a smile: "Sister also thinks that this dress is very flattering to me? This is a limited edition of Ni Xiangju, I feel at first glance that it is tailor-made for me, hehe, I am reluctant to spend so much silver on weekdays to buy limited editions." It was also that scumbag father who is now pointing to her to have a dream of soaring, and he is much more generous to her, and he is even more willing to dress her up with silver. This skirt was sent by the prince before the grandmother arrived at the Ling Mansion, and the scumbag father specially took the silver for her to buy decent clothes and jewelry.

Zhiruo nodded: "Especially suitable for you." How are you doing lately?How is Brother Qian'er?" She seemed to casually glance at Mother Feng behind Ling Xiang'er, still with a happy smile, her attitude was respectful and exquisite, but she didn't know if that clove was left in the Ling Mansion.

"It's all good," Ling Xiang'er replied with a smile, "Qian'er has been in the pile of books all day, and she originally wanted to come with me to visit her sister today, but she was temporarily called by the gentleman in the academy to copy some ancient book." ”

"Mr. Explain attaches great importance to Qian'er's younger brother," Zhiruo is not stingy with praise for Ling Qian'er, just burrow into the pile of books, what about the champion of Sanyuan and the first, how can he be casually treated?" It is also an elegant idea to bring a few jars of fruit wine and plum blossom wine, and give it to Mr. as a Boxing Gift. ”

"That's a good feeling," Ling Xiang'er didn't want to be too polite with Zhiruo at all, "I'll thank my sister for Qian'er." "In this world, the only person who has been kind to their sister and brother without any purpose from the beginning is Sister Yin in front of her. At that time, she didn't know who her sister and brother were, and later saw their embarrassing identities and troubles, but she still didn't dislike them. All right

Mother Feng saw that the two sisters were talking happily, and said goodbye with interest: "Girl, you are chatting with Miss Yin, the slave went to see if Lilac had done it, and wanted to go to Mother Fang to ask for the trick of making salted duck eggs." She has been to Biquanzhuang twice, and she can talk to Fang's mother very much, Fang's mother made salted duck eggs with more oil, egg yolk, fresh and salty, and the girl likes it very much.

Zhiruo asked Pear Blossom, who was turning the flower rope with Rudong on the side, to lead the way to Feng's mother, and Pear Blossom also knew Feng's mother, so she happily took the task arranged by the eldest girl and took Feng's mother by the hand and went out.

At the mention of Lilac, Ling Xiang'er frowned slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Lilac is a distant relative of Feng's mother, and now she is a second-class maid beside me, she is very clever and capable, and she doesn't know what's wrong today, she has to get off the carriage and her dress is stained by juice, and your housekeeper's mother said that there is a spare new dress for the maid in the warehouse, so I took her to change it." "It's really embarrassing to be a guest on someone's Zhuangzi and make such a show.

"Accidents, don't mind. Zhiruo personally poured a cup of jasmine milk tea for Ling Xiang'er, "The big girl next to you is going to follow you into the palace in the future, right? After entering the palace, it is likely to be an extension of your ear, nose and throat, and it is not enough to be smart. However, since he is a distant relative of Feng's mother, he should also know the roots. ”

Ling Xiang'er, who naturally lowered her guard in front of Zhiruo, couldn't help but pause when she heard the word "enter the palace", a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes, and then she sighed: "It is said that it is the niece of Feng's mother's cousin's daughter-in-law, she lost her father seven years ago, and she lost her mother three years ago, but she was a showman when her father was there, so she was literate and numeracy, and she was also very beautiful and generous, and she learned things quickly." ”

"Oh, it's not surprising that the daughter of the Xiucai family is literate and literate," Zhiruo raised an eyebrow, "It is not easy for a girl who has lost her parents to live alone in the countryside, and many people either develop a pungent temperament to protect themselves, or become cowardly and timid. Of course, if there are relatives to take care of them, and it happens that most of the people in the same village are kind and kind, it will be different. ”

Ling Xiang'er's eyebrows furrowed, thinking about what Zhiruo had just said, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Her own sister and brother are from the countryside, and in the years after her mother died of illness, having a father is the same as not having a father, but it is almost the same as the lilac before entering Beijing, so she still agrees with Zhiruo's words.

Tragic examples of such orphans and orphans in the countryside are not uncommon. Fortunately, at that time, there was a widowed uncle and grandmother who took care of their sister and brother as their own grandchildren, and there was a father who was a Beijing official with the name of the head, otherwise she would not dare to imagine what her sister and brother's life would become.

After listening to Sister Yin's words, she looked back and thought about it now, and suddenly she understood why she had the inexplicable strange feeling in her heart when she first saw Lilac. Lilac said that after her mother's death, her uncles and uncles were unwilling to accept her, and her aunt married far away, so she was strong and self-reliant, living by embroidering handkerchiefs and writing letters for the villagers. Lilac also said that the people in the village scolded her for being a broom star and bullied her, so she rarely interacted with the people in the village and was very alienated from those relatives at home.

But one of Feng's mother's former sisters was also from that village, and she always said that the people in the village were harmonious and kind, so when Feng's mother's cousin said that she would send Lilac over, Feng's mother was very supportive, telling her that the people in that village were good, and the people who were born and raised there were not far behind.

Because she couldn't tell the strange feeling in her heart at that time, she didn't tell Mother Feng, but now that she thinks about it clearly, she should have felt contradictory at the time, and Lilac followed her father's short study when she was a child had such a big impact, so that she could behave so neatly and generously when she just came out of the countryside, and she didn't flinch at all when she first entered Ling Mansion.
