63. Friends get together
If Zhang Jiahai is to be elected in Beijing, she also has a cousin who wants to run together, after she returns to Beijing, she should have learned the rules at home, but she and Shu Yierha and others have not seen each other for several years, this time in Beijing, how can they meet first, in order to calm down, her mother thinks that her handkerchiefs are sensible and courteous good children, and she does not object to them to contact more, although her upbringing grandmother thinks that she should stay at home, her mother still gave her a day off, let her go to a friend's house as a guest.
On March 12, the third day of Zhang Jiahairuo's return to Beijing, she took a car to Shu Yierha's house early in the morning, she came a little early, Li Siyu and others had not yet arrived, she was the first, which showed her urgency.
Shu Yierha greeted her at the second gate, and when the two met, they were very cordial, but they looked at each other a lot, they were a little awkward, you look at me, I look at you, Shu Yierha smiled and said: "I haven't seen my sister for a few years, my sister is more beautiful." Why don't we stand here stupidly, how about we go to my sister's yard and drink tea while waiting for other sisters to arrive?"
Zhang Jiahairuo smiled, nodded and agreed, the two held hands and left, Shu Yier left two people to help her greet Li Siyu and others, and Zhang Jiahairuo entered the Begonia Courtyard together, as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, Zhang Jiahairuo said: "My sister's yard is still so comfortable and elegant, now the begonia flowers are blooming just right, let's sit under the tree and enjoy the flowers, okay?"
Shu Yierha did not disagree, an order, Zizhi and others were busy, brought the refreshments to the stone table under the begonia tree, and put eiderdown cushions on the four stone chairs, because there were six people, and moved over two embroidery piers, and it was not long before they were cleaned up, Shu Yierha invited Zhang Jiahairuo to sit down, and personally poured her a cup of tea, Zhang Jiahairuo took a sip and said: "There are apples in this tea, right? ”
The two were polite to each other, Shu Yierha felt that Zhang Jiahairuo was more stable, and because he had grown, he had become a little beauty, his every move was elegant and dignified, he spoke softly but the words were clear, Shu Yierha saw her and felt that she had grown a lot taller, and after a closer look, she found that she was wearing the bottom of a flower pot on her feet, and the bottom was more than three inches high.
Zhang Jiahairuo noticed that Shu Yierha's eyes had been staring at his shoes, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister looks at me a lot taller, right? It's all the credit of these shoes, I put it out today, just to press you, and when Sister Li and they arrive, sister don't tell them, let's scare them." ”
Shu Yierha agreed with a smile, Zhang Jiahairuo said these words, the estrangement in her heart that she hadn't seen for many years seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and she felt that this friend was still the same as before, unchanged, she said: "I used to wear the bottom of a flower pot when my mother went out as a guest, I asked her if she was tired, she said she was used to it, and said that I would learn to wear it in a year or two, I was inevitably a little worried in my heart, such a high foundation, how good is it if I twist my feet?" I was also scolded by Eniang a few words, saying that everyone wears it like this, everyone else is fine, just I have a lot of questions, sister, how long have you practiced these shoes to walk so good-looking?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Jiahairuo grabbed Shu Yierha and complained: "How reasonable my sister is worried, when I first learned, my mother was greedy, and I directly took out a pair of two inches high, but I didn't stand firm and twisted my ankles, and it took more than half a month to raise it, and the sin was also delayed by time, my mother scolded the grandmother, and when I got better, when I learned again, the shoes were changed to one inch, and I wore and practiced for an hour every day, and practiced for more than a month, it was almost the same as wearing flat shoes......"
The two were talking lively, Ziyan led the Xilin Jueluo sisters in, the four of them were busy saluting each other, Jin Xu glanced at Zhang Jiahairuo, and said with a smile: "Isn't my sister worried about her short stature in the letter, are you still called short? I think it's my sister's high eye!"
Zhang Jiahairuo pulled Jinsu to compare her height, Jinxu stood next to her, four or five centimeters lower than her, Jinxu was busy and didn't care, but Jinlan saw the shoes on Hairuo's feet, guessed that she was deliberately deceiving her sister, and hurriedly turned her back and snickered a few times, and when she turned around, she had to pretend to be serious, and heard Jinxu complain that she was really short, and she couldn't help but laugh even more uncomfortable.
Or Hairuo didn't hold back, and took the lead in laughing, Shu Yierha and Jinlan followed the laughter and bent over, Jinsu was inexplicable, and when she looked down and saw the shoes on Hairuo's feet, she also felt funny: "I said, you are wearing this compared to me, are you sorry?"
Hai Ruo smiled and took Jinxu's hand and said, "It's my mistake, don't be like me, I still have to coax Sister Li and Sister Cheng, and after coaxing the two of them, I will take off this shoe, and then compare my height with you, so that you can win, do you think it's good?"
Jinxu thought that there were others who were also going to be fooled, and her heart was much more balanced, she was just about to say something, Li Siyu and Cheng Xue came in together, Shu Yier Ha first asked: "Why did the two sisters get together?" ”
Li Siyu is a fun-loving person, as soon as she heard this, she immediately pulled Cheng Xue forward quickly, and stood next to Hai Ruo, she was also a little lower than Hai Ruo, as for Cheng Xue, she was the most petite and delicate in a group of people, not much taller than Shu Yierha, standing in front of Hai Ruo, who was cheating, she lowered her head by half a head, she hurriedly took a few steps back, and said: "I don't like to expose my shortcomings, I'd rather stay away from you......"
Li Siyu was a little depressed, and Chong Hairuo complained: "My sister always said in her letter that she was slow, so she lied to my ......."
Everyone laughed, Jin Su pulled Li Siyu to look down, she found out that Hai Ruo was wearing the bottom of the flower pot, she couldn't help but pout and stare at Hai Ruo, Hai Ruo didn't pay for it, and deliberately changed Shu Yierha's cotton slippers, several people re-compared their heights, among which Li Siyu was the tallest, she was satisfied, but soon she was a little embarrassed, she was not a competitive character, but her personality jumped out slightly, in short, it was easier to blow up, but Shu Yierha and others thought she was very cute when she fried her hair, and they all loved to tease her.
A joke was made, and the strangeness between several people quickly disappeared without a trace, and there were chats and jokes, mainly Hai Ruo talked about her life in the field, Shu Yierha and others talked about their own situation, and then popularized the major events that have happened in Beijing in recent years with her, and the topic naturally talked about the May draft, Hai Ruo said: "My Ama Eniang has no requirements for me, as long as I don't embarrass the family, my Eniang said that she will find a relationship to ask the nobles in the palace, so that I will lose the election in the re-election." ”
The people of Xilin Jueluo's family also plan this, Jinxu is fifteen this year, Jinlan is thirteen, both of them are going to run, they have already found a way, and they are approved, Li Siyu solemnly thanked Shu Yierha, saying that they all rely on her family to help, and Shu Yierha said that it was the credit of her sister-in-law, Cheng Xue just listened, and waited for them to come to an end, before laughing: "I used to envy you, but now it seems that I am more relaxed, it should be you who envy me." ”
Everyone glared at her angrily, but Shu Yierha said: "Sister, you are lucky, you have followed Mr. into Beijing since you were a child, there are many people in Beijing, and the girls of the flag family are not bound to their feet, Mr. has been with our family for a long time, and I don't care so much about these, I heard that in your hometown, the young lady of the official eunuch and squire's family is bound to bind her feet, if you have been living in your hometown, it is inevitable to come." ”
Cheng Xue nodded and said: "I envy you, but it's not that your women in the banner are much freer than our Han women, you can go shopping, you can travel, and you can learn to ride and shoot, but I can only go to a friend's house to visit a garden...... It's just that I know today that you also have your difficulties, and it is inevitable to compare your strengths with your weaknesses, so that you can feel better, but you won't let me be proud even for a moment......"
Li Siyu almost sprayed tea, pointed at Cheng Xue and couldn't speak, but Hairuo said for her: "I didn't expect the most dignified and stable sister of the Cheng family to have such funny times, it can be seen that the elders are usually wrong about you!"
Shu Yierha laughed secretly in her heart, people are grouped by clusters, they can play together, naturally there are many similarities, Cheng Xueruo is really just gentle and steady, how can Shu Yierha have been friends with her for so many years, these years, there are more gentle and stable women, one by one they are like samples, not a little interesting, Shu Yierha has always been respectful of them, she gets along well with these few, on the surface it looks dignified and virtuous, there is still a little rebellion in her bones, only such a vivid girl, Shu Yierha can make good friends, she doesn't like those mass-produced standard noblewomen。
Fortunately, these people are well educated at home, and they themselves are not stupid, so the little and appropriate ideas and behaviors are well hidden, except in front of these few best friends, they are generally not revealed, from the outside world, they are also standard ladies, people, who don't have a few masks, and those who really show themselves to others can only be fools.
After such a while, Li Siyu pestered Cheng Xue again to ask her about her fiancé, Cheng Xue was embarrassed to say it, but she blushed and didn't speak, but Hairuo and the Jinxu sisters were staring at her with burning eyes, she couldn't hide, or Shu Yierha couldn't look at it, and helped her out of the siege: "Don't always ask Sister Cheng, don't forget, after the draft, as long as the sisters are not assigned to marriage, the sisters are not far from getting married, you are now Sister Cheng, beware of her revenge in a few months, and see what you do when the time comes!"
