112 Chapter 112
It can be seen that although there are many girls in the Liu family, most of them are talented and good-looking, and they have a degree of advance and retreat between their gestures. Probably because of Liu Guifei's holy favor, the Liu family has gained great benefits, and the upbringing of the girl's family is extremely meticulous, especially the first dozen or so girls who married are good, and the in-law relationship is like a big net connecting the major magnates, even if the Liu family is just an uncle's house, no one in the capital dares to underestimate it. In addition, the rate of child mortality in this era is high, even if it is a girl, it is shocking enough to survive so much.
"But compared to the girl, the son of the Liu family is precious." Xia Bimo whispered to Xia Bilei, "This Mrs. Dingyong only has three grandsons at present, and one or two of them are like eyeballs." ”
Xia Bilei said that she understood, the more favored she was, the more she was outstanding, and the children of the Liu family were not famous in the capital, and they had no talent when they thought about it.
"The youngest Liu Sanlang is only sixteen this year, and I heard that Mrs. Ding Yongbo has already shown him someone, so I look forward to him becoming his own son as soon as possible. After all, although the first two brothers have been married for several years, they have both daughters. Xia Bimo said very sympathetically, her face was a little red, after all, she was a girl in her family who said these things about marriage.
Xia Bilei covered up the sarcasm in her eyes, Xia Bimo's appearance of "we are sisters, so we told you these shameful things" can probably deceive 90% of the people in the world, at least Xia Biai's face is much softer, who would have thought that such a good sister who is close to you would actually have a ghost in her heart? She is trying to reduce the chance of being suspected after the East Window incident.
On the contrary, Xia Birui was much more impatient, and her overly excited expression made people not doubt it, no wonder she was miserable by Xia Bimo in her previous life, and there was no good ending.
Although this year's summer is not as hot as in previous years, the sun is still hot, and before I walked to the small lakeside building where the guests were entertained, several girls had some sweat on their foreheads, but when they heard that there were ice cubes in the building, it was so cool that several people invariably accelerated their pace.
The Liu family's mansion is not small, the Liu family is a prosperous woman, and there are many girls who are good at business, because the Liu family's family business is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a medium-sized lake in the capital where every inch of land is valuable, which is enough to laugh and be proud of many first-class families who have a pitiful garden and live together for several generations.
"I think there are too many girls in the family, and the dowry will cost a lot of silver, and the girls in this house will not learn how to run a business, and even the dowry silver will be gone." Sydney whispered.
Xia Biai hurriedly told her to shut up, she would be overwhelmed if she was heard.
"Don't worry, there are no outsiders around." Xia Bilei comforted her, "Sydney's ears are good, outsiders will definitely be able to hear the footsteps." ”
"There are also maids from Liu's Mansion here." Xia Biai whispered, and the second sister was close.
Xia Bilei looked speechlessly at Xia Birui, who was walking briskly in front, and in order to show that she had a good relationship with Liu Fu, she muttered endlessly with the maid all the way, leaving a few sisters behind, "Are you sure she will hear it?" ”
Xia Biai looked at Xia Birui's figure with some contempt, it was really enough, in order to show her uniqueness, she actually walked in the front, and she didn't want to think about what others would think when she saw it, even sisters couldn't get along, not to mention that she would marry a concubine with a conflict of interests in the future, and knowledgeable people didn't want such a daughter-in-law!
Xia Bilei breathed a sigh of relief when she stepped into the small building, it was too cool, the Liu family loves to hold banquets, and the ice cubes this summer are a big expense, and she has a little more insight into the Liu family's wealth.
Xia Birui looked at her with her eyes closed with satisfaction, and was a little contemptuous, the Liu family is wealthy, I don't know how many girls want to marry her, if it weren't for Liu Sanlang being born like a clam/toad, she really didn't want them to get together.
Xia Bimo is like a fish in water, and she has already chatted with a group of classmates. She was not admitted to the best Xinghua Academy back then, but only to the Osmanthus Academy, which had a slightly worse reputation and strength, of course, this is also quite remarkable, after all, Xinghua Academy is famous in the capital, and the girls who are admitted are all one in a thousand miles or even a thousand miles.
Among the girls who came today, most of them were from Osmanthus Academy, and there were also a few from Xinghua Academy, after all, one of the girls from the Liu family was admitted to Xinghua Academy with her own strength, and she would naturally invite close classmates to hold a banquet.
The wind blew through, blowing the coolness of the lake, Xia Bilei looked at the lotus flowers all over the lake, looking for lotus flowers, and she should be able to eat lotus seeds at this time.
"Who is the man in the next building?" Xia Biai heard the voice from next door and asked curiously, there are two small buildings on the lake, separated by the lake, but the voice is very clear.
"This is the Liu family's famous blind date building." Xia Bimo whispered, "There are many girls in the Liu family, and they often have to meet people, but they can't let people see without paying attention to the rules, because the Liu family often holds banquets in these two buildings, although they can see each other's figures and hear their voices, but men and women are separated, and no one says anything." ”
Xia Bilei admired, in order to marry her daughter, the Liu family also worked hard, and they could think of any way.
"Are there a lot of people coming from the next building today?"
"Not a lot." Although Xia Bimo is not as good as Xia Birui and the Liu family's favored twenty-three mothers, she often participates in the banquets of Uncle Dingyong's family, and she still knows a thing or two about this, "Today is mainly a poetry club holding a poetry club, and there should not be many men next door, but most of them are students of the academy, after all, the poems written by the people in our poetry club are quite level, and many men can't compare with it, so they naturally want to witness the birth of a good poem." Xia Bimo was quite proud, after all, she won the first place in poetry at the palace banquet last time, and many people flattered her today, and the envious eyes made her a little floating, and it was a pity that she couldn't insert the phoenix hairpin sent by the Queen Mother, she was a cautious person, and too much showing off would only widen the distance between her and her classmates in the academy.
"Bimo, where is the phoenix hairpin you got?" A beautifully born girl approached her, and there was no lack of jealousy in her eyes.
"How can you wear it all the time?" Xia Bimo said softly, "At that time, it was just luck, if Sanniang also went to this phoenix hairpin, which round got me." ”
Sanniang's face showed pride, but her hostility towards Xia Bimo was gone, "It's a pity that I went to my grandfather's house at that time, if I knew that the Queen Mother held a palace banquet, I wouldn't go." ”
Xia Bilei raised her eyebrows, these are all students of Osmanthus Academy? She really has the arrogance of being born in a big academy, and she is such an adult sitting here, she can't be seen. It seems that Xia Bimo has not made any noble-born, elegant, and transcendent friends in the academy, and they are all profit-seeking goods.
Xia Biai was so angry that she trembled, what's the big deal, wouldn't she write a few poems.
"By the way, this is my eldest sister Bi Lei, haven't you always wanted to know what the emperor's new county lord looks like?" Xia Bimo introduced with a proud smile, "This is my third sister Xia Bimo, you see that she is also a rare beauty." ”
The eyes of several girls lit up and exclaimed, "This is the county lord of Bilei who saved the Duchess of Zhenguo?" Your big sister? As Xia Bimo's classmates, they naturally knew that as soon as the Xia family's big house returned to Beijing, they robbed Xia Bimo's eldest daughter's prologue teeth, and then pressed Xia Bimo down, if they didn't become enemies, it would be good, how could they still get along. It was because they all thought that the girl who was born with this eye, and who was not as dressed as Xia Birui, was a distant relative, and she was born beautiful and vulgar, and the jealousy of the girl's family made them snub her together. Now that she knows her identity, she is competing to introduce herself one by one, and secretly complains that Xia Bimo told her identity without the first look, and then feels that Xia Bimo is still uncomfortable with such a big sister who is not much older than herself on her head, otherwise how could she deliberately let them snub her. The girls felt for a while that Xia Bimo, who was top-notch in front of her master, was finally not so high, it turned out that she was also a mortal!
The twenty-fourth mother of the Liu family, as the master, naturally saw this scene, and hurriedly pulled a few classmates from the Xinghua Academy to get to know her, she was not like the osmanthus academy who was not qualified to participate in the palace banquet, and even the emperor's newly sealed Bilei county lord did not recognize it.
It is worthy of being the first academy in the capital, and this girl's behavior and conversation are much more elegant than those of Osmanthus Academy. After the comparison, Xia Biai decisively abandoned the group of snobs in Osmanthus Academy, happily chatted with the girl from Xinghua Academy, and made up her mind to take the Xinghua Academy with her sister.
Xia Bimo smiled, and didn't mind the faint complaints of her classmates, she was not a fool, she really behaved like a saint and cared for Xia Bilei without resentment or hatred, and when something happened to her, she was even more suspicious.
Sun and many noble ladies also came to the flower hall not far from the lake to sit down and chat, Sun knew many noble ladies during the palace banquet, and the children naturally had endless words to say.
Mrs. Ding Yongbo looked at the small building in the distance, and sighed faintly, hoping that her grandson Saburo could take a fancy to which girl, if he really fell in love, she would ask Niangniang to help her marry even if she was cheeky. San Lang is sixteen years old this year and has no concubines, and Da Lang and Erlang don't have a son now, maybe the hope of giving birth to a great-grandson is in San Lang, and the senior monk of Xiangguo Temple also said that San Lang will have a son in the future...... But the premise is that Saburo has to have sex with a woman to make it.
"What's on Madame's mind?" Sun was a little curious, "Why is there a worried look on your face?" ”
Mrs. Ding Yongbo came back to her senses and saw that many noble ladies showed caring looks, and she couldn't help but express her distress, "I'm worried about San Lang's face, he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes before the age of thirteen, but in the past three years, his face has been full of faces, and a good child's face has been ruined." "It was useless to take any amount of medicine, and what made her most depressed was that after Saburo's face was ruined, many girls changed their attitudes towards him and said a lot of vicious words, which made Saburo, a lively and cheerful child, feel inferior. Recently, he asked him to meet people, as long as the girl's family showed contempt, he turned around and left, and now he refuses to meet again, and shouts that he wants to find a true love who doesn't mind his face, otherwise he will not be married in his life.
"Isn't it useless to look for a doctor?" Several noble ladies naturally know the distress of Mrs. Ding Yongbo, the famous girl of the Liu family, but you have to admit that most of the looks are quite good, although the sons and grandsons are pitiful, but the appearance is also extremely handsome, Liu Sanlang was also a beautiful young man before he had a long face. The sisters are all pretty, just with this face, how can the nobles look at it, and the Liu family is not willing to lower the standard to find a broken family.
Mrs. Ding Yongbo shook her head, "The imperial doctor has been here several times, and it is useless to take a lot of medicine." ”
Sun comforted, "Maybe it will be better to be older in the future, I have heard that many people will have a clean face when they are twenty years old." ”
Mrs. Yongbo's face was full of bitterness, Dalang and Erlang had never given birth to a son, and the pressure on this son was all on San Lang, so he was counting on him to give birth to a son, how could he wait until he was twenty years old. 166 Reading Network
