Chapter 141: Doubts
After eating the banquet, and putting refreshments, everyone sat in the flower hall to listen to the play, and some regular guests from the Hou Mansion simply set up the table and played the leaf card. Seeing that the hour was not early, gradually some guests said goodbye and left. Old Lady Liu also came over and wanted to say goodbye to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess spoke before Mrs. Liu could speak.
"The old lady doesn't often come out as a guest, and since she comes, she sits and sits before leaving. …… Go to my yard, be quiet, and let's talk slowly. At this time, Princess Yongjing and several other noblewomen had already left, and the eldest princess instructed a few relatives and daughters-in-law to accompany the guests in the flower hall, and invited Mrs. Liu and everyone to her courtyard.
There are those women who still eat tea and watch the drama when they see it, and they can't help but secretly have calculations in their hearts. The eldest princess doesn't invite others, but only invites the daughters of the Liu family to speak, naturally it will not be without reason. Everyone's eyes fell on Liu Ruoyuan, how Liu Ruoyuan was loved and valued by the eldest princess today, these people are all in their eyes. Some also looked back and forth on Liu Ruoxi's body. Liu Ruoyuan speaks smartly, and people pay attention everywhere, so it is not surprising that she likes the eldest princess. Liu Ruoxi is quiet, but the eldest princess treats her differently, or perhaps, the eldest princess prefers not Liu Ruoyuan, but Liu Ruoyuan.
"I'm afraid that the family business of the Hou Mansion is settled with Liu Hanlin's family." Some of the female dependents whispered in private.
Liu Ruoxi and the others followed the eldest princess, and did not go to the hall where the guests were entertained in the morning, but went to a small hall where the eldest princess usually rested and sat down, and the eldest princess invited Mrs. Liu and others to sit down, and ordered someone to send fragrant tea and exquisite snacks up.
"Last time I bathed in the Buddha Festival, I was in the Great Xiangguo Temple, but unfortunately, I didn't see the three girls." The eldest princess gossiped with Mrs. Liu, then looked at Liu Ruoxi and smiled, "Say you're sick." I haven't seen the doctor. Okay? ”
"It's not a symptom, it's fine now." Seeing the eldest princess ask this, Liu Ruoxi had to get up and answer.
“…… It's just an inevitable thing in a girl's house. Second Mrs. Liu also got up hurriedly and explained to the eldest princess, "It's also that I'm usually too spoiled by her......" Originally, Liu Ruoxi said that, and it was okay. With the temperament of Mrs. Liu, it is rare to be like this. Old Lady Liu nodded, casting an approving glance at Second Mrs. Liu.
The eldest princess asked Liu Ruoxi like this, things can be big or small. Mrs. Liu was too concerned and explained two more sentences to the eldest princess. It is the carefulness of motherhood. Liu Ruoxi is now talking about the age of her relatives, if it is rumored that she has a bad background, it is likely to have a very bad impact on Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi hadn't thought of this yet, but Second Mrs. Liu and Old Mrs. Liu thought of it.
"Oh......" The eldest princess looked at Mrs. Liu, and then at Liu Ruoxi, and understood, "Don't be careless, it's really inevitable when you're young." Wait a minute...... That's it. ”
"That's what the eldest princess said." Mrs. Liu said.
"Today is the first time I have seen this child, and I am very happy to see it." As the eldest princess spoke, she waved her hand, and a waiting girl came up with a tray. On the tray, there is a string of pink coral beads, a beaded hairpin, and a Shu embroidered fan. And a big red ruler. "Make a greeting gift for the three girls."
Liu Ruoxi looked at Mrs. Liu, and when she saw Mrs. Liu nodding, she hurriedly saluted and thanked the eldest princess.
"This kid. It's quiet, and the more you look at it, the more durable it becomes. The eldest princess took Liu Ruoxi's hand, but at the same time, she took off a white jade bracelet from her wrist, and Liu Ruoxi didn't refuse, so she put it on Liu Ruoxi's wrist.
"The elder should not have resigned, but it was too precious." Liu Ruoxi wanted to take off the bracelet and return it to the eldest princess. The meeting ceremony is not enough, there are some ceremonies, the eldest princess met the other sisters of the Liu family in the Great Xiangguo Temple last time, and everyone has it. But she also gave her a bracelet to wear, which couldn't help but make Liu Ruoxi think more.
This kind of special gift, Liu Ruoxi doesn't want to accept.
However, the eldest princess pressed Liu Ruoxi's hand and deliberately lowered her face.
"The eldest princess gave it, you can take it. It is the eldest princess who cherishes you. Old Mrs. Liu was a little happy on the side, and instructed Liu Ruoxi.
When Mrs. Liu said this, Liu Ruoxi couldn't refuse.
Liu Ruoyuan looked at it from the side, and her eyes were a little jealous. However, Liu Ruoyuan quickly covered up the jealousy in her eyes, but while moving forward, she actually took the eldest princess's hand and made a coquettish appearance.
“…… I hurt my third sister, I don't hurt ......" Looking at it like this, Liu Ruoyuan didn't seem to have only met the eldest princess twice, but as if she had been getting along since she was a child and was extremely close to her closest relatives.
Liu Ruojuan couldn't help but secretly wonder, and looked at Liu Ruojuan, who was extremely silent next to her. Although these two sisters seem to have very different personalities, they are so similar in some ways. For example, this "audacity".
Liu Ruoyuan is like this, the eldest princess is not annoyed at all, and patted Liu Ruoyuan's back, looking extremely doting.
"This kid is really painful. I only hate that I didn't give birth to a daughter, otherwise I would be content with being in front of me like this every day. The eldest princess laughed, but said again, "I love your third sister, isn't it just like hurting you?" ”
Liu Ruoyuan was tired of being in the arms of the eldest princess, listening to the last sentence of the eldest princess, her face changed slightly, and she was a little unsure of the meaning of the eldest princess for a while. She was originally bold enough to make such a pampered and arrogant look, but at this time, she couldn't help but show a hint of caution. After all, it was the eldest princess sitting here, not the old lady Liu.
The eldest princess didn't know if she noticed the changes in Liu Ruoxi, and she still smiled very kindly.
"You kid, that's it, that one is for your third sister, and this one is for you." The eldest princess said this, and really took the same white jade bracelet from her other wrist and handed it to Liu Ruoyuan.
Liu Ruoyuan held the bracelet, as if joy fell from the sky.
"The eldest princess really still hurts me. As long as the eldest princess does not dislike it, I am willing to be filial to the eldest princess like a daughter. Liu Ruoyuan said happily.
Mrs. Liu smiled at the corner of her mouth, and the expression on her face was a little proud, obviously secretly admiring her daughter's cleverness and courage.
At this time, a little girl came in to report to the eldest princess.
“…… The prince is here. ”
"Please come in." The eldest princess said, and said to the old lady Liu with a smile, "I've seen it all, let him also salute the old lady and say goodbye." ”
Mrs. Liu was busy and said she didn't dare.
When the little girl went out, she opened the curtains, and Han Qing walked in from outside. As soon as he entered, a pair of peach blossom eyes swept around, and then he came to the eldest princess to salute and say goodbye.
"Why is your banquet gone? Your father? In the big sun, why didn't you come here in a sedan chair like this? When the eldest princess saw Han Qing, she smiled, and asked a series of questions, obviously spoiling Han Qing to the core.
Han Qing sat down beside the eldest princess with a big grin, and answered the eldest princess's words.
"Don't you want to give Mrs. Liu a gift?" The eldest princess didn't stop Han Qing, and asked someone to bring herbal tea, and asked someone to fan Han Qing, and asked someone to add an ice basin, and she was busy for a long time before asking Han Qing to salute Mrs. Liu.
Han Qing was also obedient, and got up to say hello to Mrs. Liu. The eldest princess let him meet Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu/Grandma.
“…… These are all your sisters in the Liu family. The eldest princess pointed to Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoyuan again.
Han Qing was busy saluting, but this salute was extremely cordial, and there was a lot of sincerity in it than when he saw Mrs. Liu just now.
"Although this one is about the same age, he is also a generation younger." Mrs. Liu asked the eldest sister to give Han Qing a gift.
After that, everyone sat down again. The eldest princess was talking to Han Qing on the one hand, and chatting with Mrs. Liu on the other. Mrs. Liu sensed that the eldest princess was absent-minded, so she got up and said goodbye. Han Qing seemed to be reluctant, but the eldest princess did not stay deep this time.
……
The daughters of the Liu family were still pedaling in front of the pink/white shadow wall, Mrs. Liu sat in a car alone, and Liu Ruoxi still followed Mrs. Liu to take a car. Liu Ruojuan helped Mrs. Liu to get into the car first, and she was about to follow, but she saw that Liu Ruojuan followed behind her at some point, and she wanted to sit in the same car with her.
Liu Ruoyuan glanced at Mrs. Liu, Liu Ruoyuan came to the Hou Mansion by herself, took an ordinary carriage, and had already been sent back, and now she was about to share the car with Mrs. Liu. Liu Ruojuan didn't go there, but squeezed here, and Liu Ruojuan understood after a little thought.
"Second sister, your car is over there." Liu Ruoyuan pointed at Liu Ruoyuan and pointed to Mrs. Liu's car.
Liu Ruoyuan was standing under the car and looked over here. Liu Ruojuan looked at Liu Ruoyuan's eyes and obviously shrunk. Liu Ruojuan didn't sympathize with Liu Ruojuan, if she didn't do anything wrong, she didn't need to be afraid. If she did something wrong, she should have the courage to face the consequences. Moreover, in this matter, Liu Ruojuan can hide from the first year of junior high school, but she can't hide from the fifteenth.
"Send the second sister to the car over there." Liu Ruoxi ordered the people who were waiting behind her, and didn't care about Liu Ruojuan, and got into the car herself.
Liu Ruojuan stood under the car, not daring to get in the car, nor daring to go to Mrs. Liu's side, looking very embarrassed for a while.
"That's it, let the second girl come up and sit." Mrs. Liu couldn't see anyone like this, so she felt compassion for Liu Ruojuan.
Liu Ruojuan didn't think so, but since Mrs. Liu had exited, she didn't say anything, just watched the girls help Liu Ruojuan get into the car and sit.
The carriage started, with Liu Ruojuan in the car, and Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi did not talk as usual, and there was some silence in the car. Liu Ruojuan shrank in the corner of the car, and her whole body seemed to be full of the words "careful". Mrs. Liu looked at it for a while, and then she couldn't bear it.
"Second girl, you sit down and stretch out. It's pretty spacious inside. ”
"Second Aunt Xie." Liu Ruojuan said, her body only moved, still very cautious.
“…… Please help my aunt and third sister. (To be continued......)
