got on the carriage and arrived at the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, this time it was the wife of the new Prime Minister Shui Xiao, and also the eldest daughter-in-law of Mrs. Wenchang Hou, the identity is absolutely sufficient, the prime minister is from a product, in terms of grade, this lady is even higher than Mrs. Hou, but she is a junior, so this water lady is still blessed: "Mrs. Hou An." ”

Mrs. Zhongyi Hou nodded, full of smiles, Mrs. Shui and Min side one by one with Mrs. Zhongyi Hou in, Mrs. Zhongyi Hou They arrived relatively early because they were neighbors, but there were still people inside, it turned out that Mrs. Zhongjing Hou had arrived first, Zhongjing Hou's family style is good, the rules are also good, and Mrs. Zhongyi Hou is very good on weekdays, and the old sisters naturally have affection when they meet.

"Come, see you all."

Shao Yunhua immediately took her four younger sisters to salute the two Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Zhongjing Hou took Shao Yunhua in her arms, and touched the hands of several other little ladies, as if she loved something: "I'll just say that you are both blessed, look at how good this well-behaved little lady is, I'm greedy, I can't wait to take them home." ”

Mrs. Wenchang Hou and Mrs. Zhongyi Marquis pursed their lips, and Zhongyi Hou took a sip of tea: "If you love, I will give them up and follow you back today." ”

The typical yang and yin decline of the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion, the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion also has three rooms, and the result does not care whether the concubine is out or the concubine, the Tonggong is just such a little lady, and now she is married, and the guide zhì Mrs. Zhongjing Marquis sees the little lady of the family and looks like she is greedy for something, and she can't wait to take it home, which is also an interesting thing in the capital. This is also the reason why the two ladies are good friends, and Shao Yunhua does not often go to play, there is no little lady of the same size.

"Don't feel sorry if I take you with me." Mrs. Zhongjing Hou was full of smiles, she liked Shao Yunhua the most, and she was already pulling Xiaolang at home to marry Shao Yunhua, but unfortunately she felt that her grandson was not worthy of it, alas!

"I'm sure I don't feel bad." Mrs. Zhongyi Hou shook her laughter.

"You don't feel distressed, I feel distressed, those leather boys in my family are not frightened of them."

Talking and laughing, there are people again, the eldest lady of the Shui family, the second lady and the granddaughter-in-law of Mrs. Wenchanghou are all busy, Shao Yunhua and her sisters got the gift of Mrs. Zhongjinghou, and were greeted away by the little ladies of the Shui family.

Today is the Wenchang Marquis Mansion conservatory, not a banquet, so the people who come are close to people, to put it bluntly, they are people with the same position, the relationship between the wives is good, and the concept is similar in the court in front, so in addition to the main family, it is the status of the Shao Yunhua sisters.

The water lady is to entertain these little ladies in the small flower hall, at this time the flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance is pleasant, and the flowers and trees are sparse with the laughter of the little lady, just like in the painting.

There is a green and blue yarn hanging in the flower hall, because there are a lot of people, a table sits open, but there are also three tables, the little lady of the Shui family is exactly three, one person greets a table.

The Shui family is not from a noble background, and it has nothing to do with the family, although it is the Tai/Zu saved by the father of the Marquis of Wenchang, but it is exchanged for his own life, although he has received many rewards, but only the Marquis of Wenchang Shuiqing is left with such a single seedling, Shuiqing's mother is a knowledgeable person, and when she gets money, she will ask her son for a good master - study!

At that time, there was no scientific examination system, it was all a recommendation system, their family had no background, no matter how good Shui Qing read, there was no good recommender, Shui Qing's mother was not afraid of being embarrassed, and cried directly into the imperial city, at that time, Tai/Zu had died, it was Taizong Dynasty, and the queen was not from a family, and she also knew that Shui Qing's father exchanged his life for a life in order to save Tai/Zu, so he immediately told Taizong about it, and registered with the emperor, can it be worse? Shui Qingchang's flat head and face, and he is also knowledgeable, Taizong liked it at a glance, and directly gave him the background, being an official is the fourth grade, I don't know how many people envy and hate.

It's a pity that the old lady of Shui was too short when he was young and young, and his son died not long after he became an official, and only told his son and daughter-in-law to live a good life, so the Shui family knows that Shui Qing has two major regrets in his life, the first is that the son wants to raise and does not wait, and the second is that Zhongzong is soft and glutinous, and he can't show his ambitions, but he is old and old, and he is shaking up when he changes the female emperor, and he can show his talents when he is reused, and the whole person is radiant, as if he is twenty years younger, and his wife privately laughs at him for being old and pretty, and he is quite beautiful.

Well, far from it! Let's pull it back, the reason for saying this is that there are really not many relatives and friends in the Shui family, except for the two Hou Mansions, which are the mother's families of several daughters-in-law, but unfortunately they are not in the capital, only the third grandson and wife of the Marquis of Wenchang are in the capital, and it just so happens that there are only two young ladies of school age in the family, and the rest are just upstarts from the exam.

In a word, when the first emperor Changtai was in the eighth year, an examination was held to select talents, and the main examination was Shuiqing, and the empress ascended the throne and held an examination, and Shuiqing presided over it, and the people who were admitted were naturally close to Shuiqing, so in addition to relatives and such people.

Since these people were admitted, they are not from a family, and if they are not from a family, some money is also very limited, and it is very strange to see the delicate things on the Shao family sisters at this time.

Shao Wuniang was born in Changtai in the twenty-first year, and she is only five years old this year, but she is not very bold, she doesn't remember things when she was too young, and her mother began to teach her to be well-behaved and obedient, and listen to the eldest sister in everything, so she sat next to Shao Yunhua at this time, and Shao Yunhua also took care of this little sister.

In order to keep her daughter from being looked down upon, Jane's dressed up very much, combed a hanging bun, the small flowers on it were not yarn, but composed of pearl gems and gold filigree, and in the middle were flowers made of gold filigree, and then a pink pearl flower, a ruby flower, the flowers bloomed and pedicles, especially the white and green jade made into a leaf shape, which completely suppressed the extravagance and luxury, leaving only delicate and exquisite.

The clothes on the body are all fine from the material to the embroidery, the Jane family is ruined, but the family is fine when Jane's got married, although she is not the eldest daughter, the dowry is not as good as the eldest sister, but she is the daughter in the end, in addition to the dowry silver that the marrying daughter in the family should give, as well as the mother's dowry, as well as the additional subsidies of the father and grandmother, so she is weak, but definitely not poor.

There are also children who are also five years old, and when they see such beautiful flowers, they are not afraid of others laughing at their lack of knowledge, and directly say: "Wu Niang, the flowers on your head are so beautiful." ”

"Hmmm! I can like it too. Shao Wuniang saw that someone was talking, and immediately returned happily.

Shao Sanniang pouted secretly, deeply feeling that children just don't know, what's the use of looking good? What is important on his head is the jewelry of Princess Depei when she was young, and the cloisonné beads have an eight-tailed phoenix pattern on it. I want to speak, but I dislike that the other party is a child, I can't help but be in a dilemma, seeing that no one praises the beaded flowers on her head, I am unhappy, a group of illiterate people.

Even if it is an old princess, but in the end it is also extremely exquisite, some people still praise Shao Sanniang's head for the pearl flowers on her head are good-looking, Shao Sanniang is overjoyed, with a faint smile on her face: "Well, I like it too, the third aunt gave it to me" This was said with a sense of pride.

Many people blinked, and they didn't know much about the in-laws of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion.

Shao Sanniang, who was waiting for the compliments, found that everyone looked dazed, and almost died of anger, this group of uneducated, she didn't want to think about it, these are all little ladies who have not left the cabinet, and they don't care about the shortcomings of their parents, not to mention that the elders in their families are basically the children of the poor family who were tested by themselves (relative to the family, those who can read in that year are not poor), the official position is not so big, and the level is not so high, who knows the twists and turns of those in-laws.

The three little ladies of the Shui family really know, but they are more confident, their aunt is Concubine Shu, and their cousin is the eldest princess, but they are much closer than your so-called third uncle and mother.

Shao Sanniang was unhappy in her heart, she didn't speak, there are so many little ladies, you don't need to look at anyone's face, even if she is instructed by her family, it is also an order to make friends with the ladies of the Shui family, most of them came up by exams, so they naturally have to have a good relationship with the teacher's family.

Shao Wuniang is very happy, she was detained by her mother in the past and no one plays, but now there are two young ladies who are generally old to talk, children's words, one of them also said that she wants to invite Shao Wuniang to play in the house.

After a while, it will be lively, talking about hearts and minds, if you want to say the most popular, it has to be Shao Yunhua, Shao Yunhua often pretends to be a little lang to go out, casually saying two gadgets is enough for these boudoir girls to marvel for a long time, at this time Shao Yunhua is talking about playing monkeys.

"Where did the monkeys come from?" The second daughter of the Shui family, Shui Dai Shui Erniang was curious.

Shao Yunhua smiled: "This, naturally, I caught it in the forest, but it's not easy." ”

"How?"

"You know the word "monkey."

Everyone nodded, and there were a few small ones, with a blank look on their faces, and then they began to blink at Shao Yunhua.

"Eldest sister, tell me, what's going on?"

"yes, let's talk about it."

Even the eldest daughter of the Shui family was full of curiosity, and Shao Sanniang, who thought she was dignified and magnificent, was not holding it at this time, and she also sat next to Shao Yunhua and hugged her arm and began to be coquettish.

"Then listen to me tell you slowly." Shao Yunhua smiled and groaned: "Those who plan to catch monkeys should bring a lot of things into the forest where there are monkeys, and then build a small house on a tree, with windows on all sides of the house, and put things that the monkeys like to eat in the house." ”

"I see, isn't it like this monkey just came in and ate and caught it?" Shao Sanniang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, quite complacent about how quickly she thought of this question, especially when a few little worshipful people looked at her.

"There are windows, monkeys are very flexible, they can run, right?" It was Zhao Xiaoniang who spoke, and her father Zhao Hongming was the champion of Tongle for two years, and now he is the squire of the military department of Zhengsanpin.

Shao Sanniang choked!

Shao Yunhua smiled: "Third sister, don't be anxious!" The monkey catcher watched the monkey eat for a few days and then secretly closed a window, and then closed one after a few days, and then closed another one after a few days, and the last time, the monkey entered the tree house, and he closed the last window as well, and then took the live chickens into the house, and those monkeys were fierce, and he clicked and killed the chickens in front of those monkeys, leaving blood, those monkeys, guess what? ”

"What's the matter? What's wrong? Are you all scared? ”

"Yes, yes, aren't you scared?"

"That's right, those monkeys are very honest, and those who catch monkeys will tie them up, train them, and then they will be able to play monkey shows."

Where have these boudoir ladies heard of these things? They all listened stupidly, and after listening to the story, they began to discuss the cleverness of playing monkeys? What about monkey stupidity? Or are the monkeys timid.

"You know a lot." Shui Dai is one year younger than Shao Yunhua, and she also reads on weekdays, and even because she doesn't have to be an official, she reads some so-called idle books, but there is no such interesting and vivid thing in the book at all.

"I heard from the monkey puppeteers."

"Are there any monkeys in your house?"

Shao Yunhua pursed her lips and smiled, and leaned into Shui Dai's ear: "I secretly sued you, don't sue others, I, I wore Xiaolang's clothes, and I only found out when I went outside to play." ”

Shui Dai almost screamed that she was born, hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at Shao Yunhua with round eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Shao Yunhua smiled proudly.
