On this day, Jiang Suoyue took Tao'er to go to the clan school as usual, and let Pearl stay to take care of the yard, especially paying attention to Li'er's every move.

Pearl sat in the courtyard to embroider Jiang Sayue's uppers, Li'er sprinkled and swept the yard, looked at the pearl's look and walked up to her and said: "Sister Pearl, the green jade next to the third lady said that she has some new patterns, which is a new style in Beijing, why don't I take it for you to see and embroider a new look for Miss." ”

Pearl nodded and said, "It's hard for you to worry about it, go and go back quickly." ”

"Got it." If Pear got the pearl, she went out unhurriedly.

When Pearl saw her go out, she dropped the embroidery stand in her hand and followed, adorning her from afar. Bypassing the small lotus pond, I walked through the courtyard where the third lady lived, and saw her go to the courtyard of the lady. Pearl was relieved, so she stopped following and turned back.

said that Li'er quietly came to Mrs.'s yard, and Mama Wu, who was beside Mrs., saw her, knew what to expect, and took her to the back hall.

"Greetings to Madame." Li'er said respectfully.

"Get up," Eda took a sip of tea, put down the pastel tea cup among the fish and lotus, and asked, "How has that girl been in the past few days?" ”

"Mrs. Hui's words are still the same as before." Li'er said, secretly looked up at Madame's expression, and saw that she seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her cookie-cutter report, and her heart was cold, and she said again: "It's just ......"

"Just what?" Although it was a bland tone, it was unprovoked and full of calmness.

"Madam, the slave maid suspects that Miss Six's knowledge is not as bad as the master said."

"Oh? How do you know? Eda's body that had been leaning back in his chair stood up and stared straight at Ri'er.

"Mrs. Hui, the slave is just guessing. Yesterday, Zhang's mother came to see Miss Liu, and brought a package, and the slave maid took advantage of the pearl to touch it inattention, which looked like a few books...... The slave maid thought, if Miss Six is really as the master said, how can she find a book by herself? ”

"Is there anything else?" Eda's tone was a little displeased.

Li'er panicked in her heart, and hurriedly said, "There is no one left." ”

"Go ahead, take a good look, and tell me if there's anything else."

"Yes." Li'er slowly retreated, and went to Jiang Yingyue's yard to find green jade, and brought a few tricks back to make an errand.

Eda watched Li'er go out, his fingers tapping on the table, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said to Mama Wu behind him, "What do you think? ”

"Miss Six enlightened so late, even if she learns anything, she is just not blind. To say that Zhang's mother gave her the book in private, maybe she knew that she was stupid and spent more time in private. But she has a thin foundation and no mentor to guide her, so no matter what she does, she can't get past our miss. ”

"You're right. Hum! These sluts can raise anything, and they can't compare to my brilliant talent. As if his mood had calmed down a lot, Jiang Tian took a sip of tea and said: "I already knew that few of these girls were honest, and the six girls were just stupid, if it weren't for Aunt Ning's slut who called me unhappy, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to the stupid girl she gave birth to." It's three girls, blindly pleasing and selling well, when I don't know the flowery intestines in her belly, her mother is just a girl next to me, I don't know who I am when I give some face, and I dare to stretch out my hand to be delusional. ”

Mama Wu naturally knew the meaning of Madame's words, when Mrs. Madame's cousin came to play at home during the Chinese New Year, the third lady intentionally or unintentionally leaned in front of the young master, and actually played the idea of a sparrow turning into a phoenix, and as if everyone else was blind and couldn't see it, Madame was very angry when she saw her frivolous appearance.

Mama Wu opened her mouth to persuade: "Madame, why bother to make that little hoof angry, and the marriage of several of them is in your hands, whether it is life or death is not a matter of your words." ”

When Jiang Tian heard this, he thought of the marriage he had just engaged for his concubine Jiang Wanyue, and couldn't help but relax and smile a little.

But it was said that after Jiang Suoyue got out of school, Pearl told her about Li'er's deeds today, and asked, "Miss, this Li'er always reports to Madame, are we indulging her like this?" ”

"The one who knew that she was a lady, now we can't do anything about it, and besides, a smart person like her can't be in a hurry. She is different from Tao'er, how can she take refuge in me without real bargaining chips. In her eyes, I am still a person who can't protect myself at the moment, where is it worth her life. Jiang Suoyue sighed, this is the helplessness of sending people under the fence and not being able to make a living independently, and said: "Let's plan slowly in the future, now she is also a good chess piece, I want my wife to know something, she can make me get my wish." ”

Pearl's eyes lit up, and she seemed to think of it, and said, "Miss is wise." ”

Jiang Suoyue said again: "It's just that she usually only goes once every five days, why did she go there the day before yesterday and go again today?" It seems that we still missed something, so that she found something. Was there anything special about yesterday and today? ”

Pearl tilted her head and recalled, "Something special...... No, Miss is still the same as usual, and there is no one in our yard...... Yes! Yesterday, Zhang's mother came and brought a few books to the young lady. ”

"It seems that this is the case, and we will have to be more careful in the future. In this way, my performance in school should have improved somewhat. ”

Pearl understood, "Yes." ”

The days slipped to early summer, and the small lotus pond in Jiangfu was full of all kinds of lotus flowers, and Jiang Jiaoyue made a post to invite everyone in Beijing to come to the house to enjoy the lotus. said that it was a lotus reward, but the main purpose was to get together to play and exchange some news. The daughter's family stays in the inner house all day long, and if there is no activity at all, life will be even more boring. So this is also the main entertainment activity of the current ladies, if they reach the marriageable age, they will participate in more such gatherings, and the mother will take this tea party to enjoy the flowers, and set the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a bunch of ladies and ladies.

Jiang Yingyue put on a small sunflower shirt full of thorns and branches, and wore a goose-yellow pomegranate skirt, and was directing the big girl Hongxiang to stick gold and jade on her head. She is not angry in her heart, such a showy thing, but she has no chance to come out, if she posts in her name, where are the more decent ladies in the capital willing to appreciate their faces, and they are just the concubines of various families, or people with lower official positions, how can they have the opportunity to meet the nobles of the capital. When she thought that it was always the fifth sister who was in the limelight, her heart was like a fire burning. Why! Her talent is not as good as her! Thinking that the eldest sister Jiang Mingyue could marry into the Pingchang Bofu, but the second sister Jiang Wanyue was promised to such a family, her face turned pale and she clenched her fists fiercely. She was twelve years old and could no longer sit still.

Jiang Suoyue actually didn't want to participate in this kind of party, but if she didn't go, it would seem that she wouldn't give her sister face, and if she fell into Jiang Jiaoyue's face, she would definitely do something for her life. Let's just go and be a personal background.

Let Pearl change her into a cherry red embroidered cat play ball Luo shirt, a duck egg green pleated skirt, a double snail comb hair, a pale pink ribbon, a few beaded flowers, dressed up childishly. This kind of daughter's family's many gatherings are indispensable for a lot of competition, secretly compared, Jiang Suoyue has always only wanted to be low-key, and she doesn't want to be involved in this kind of comparison and trouble.

took Tao'er to the small lotus pond that had fallen into the water, and heard the sound of laughter from the pavilion in the distance. A crisp voice said in annoyance, "You make fun of me like this, I don't follow it." There was a louder burst of laughter.

Jiang Suoyue stepped forward and said, "Third sister and fifth sister, forgive me, my sister is late." ”

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and saw a girl standing on the edge of the pavilion pillar, still young, her eyebrows and eyes had not yet grown, but her skin was as white as snow, her willow eyebrows were curved, her eyes were like a clear spring, and her small and straight nose was like a jade carving.

A goose-faced girl asked, "Kyaukyue, is this your girl?" Why haven't you seen it before? ”

Jiang Jiaoyue looked like a sister, and said: "This is the sixth sister of my family, because she was not in good health, she didn't often come out to walk around with her sisters. ”

Everyone let out an "oh".

The girl smiled again: "Although she is a little childish, she is also a beauty, and I am afraid that she will surpass your sisters when she grows up." ”

Jiang Suoyue said in her heart, you and I are not relatives, do you want to give me such a sense of existence, and pull hatred! Looking at the second sister Jiang Wanyue and the fourth sister Jiang Ruyue's faces were acceptable, but Jiang Yingyue's face showed an angry look, and Jiang Jiaoyue squinted at her, Jiang Suoyue hurriedly made a timid and scared look, and said: "How can my sister be able to match the beauty of your sisters, I haven't seen so many beautiful sisters when I'm so big." ”

When everyone saw her behavior, they secretly said in their hearts that they couldn't get on the stage, but it was a pity that Jiang Yingyue and Jiang Jiaoyue's faces eased a little.

Jiang Suoyue thought that she had already shown her face, so she hurriedly found an excuse to leave this place of right and wrong, and said: "I see that the lotus flowers are blooming really well, I will take someone to pick some and insert bottles for my sisters." ”

"My sister has a heart, just be careful, don't accidentally fall again." Jiang Jiaoyue said with a concerned look, and accentuated her tone on "I was not careful".

She is warning herself not to mention to anyone that she once pushed down the small lotus pond, this is redundant, ruining her reputation for herself, in addition to exporting evil anger, what is the benefit, not to mention that the Jiang Tian family will not take a break, Jiang Jiaoyue's reputation for murdering her sister will only reflect the Jiang family's improper family style, and she is also the daughter of the Jiang family, isn't her reputation also affected.

"Sister don't worry, sister will be careful." After Jiang Suoyue finished speaking, she took Tao'er out of the pavilion. I just didn't see Jiang Jiaoyue's expression on her face and the mockery on the corner of Jiang Yingyue's mouth.
