Pearl once saw Chen Yuanheng from afar at a banquet. Chen Yuanheng was born in everyone, and he has a luxurious and chic temperament, but these are not available to this small city in the south of the Yangtze River. She is also fifteen years old this year, and it is the time of youth and the beginning of love.

Before, her aunt had been anxious about her family affairs since she was thirteen years old. However, I searched for two years and there was no suitable one. Because she is a concubine born to her aunt, a large family will not accept a concubine as the eldest son's daughter-in-law. Among the scholars, because her father had a bad reputation in Shilin, he was reluctant to marry her. Of course, many ordinary people still come to the door to ask for marriage, so she is unwilling, how can she go to a poor family to suffer that when she is used to living a life of fine clothes and food.

In fact, her father has always asked someone to teach her the skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he has never been stingy in making clothes and jewelry for her, although her aunt has repeatedly proposed to register her sister in the name of her wife, but her father refused. And the eldest brother, who was also an aunt, was named in the name of his wife early. All because the father wanted to trade their sisters.

Therefore, she was mentally prepared for a long time, and it seemed that she was going to be a concubine for her father's Shangfeng. When Lord Chen didn't come two years ago, her father once wanted to marry her to the previous county magistrate, and she had seen that county magistrate, who was fat and dark, older than her father, with a horizontal face, and she wanted to vomit when she saw it. Fortunately, I was still young at that time, so this thing did not work out.

Now her father and mother obviously have this thought, in fact, since she saw Chen Yuanheng once under the arrangement of her family last time, she has been fascinated by Chen Yuanheng's handsome appearance and chic temperament, but that time she passed in a hurry, and Chen Yuanheng didn't notice herself.

Now that my mother mentions this matter, she is willing to do so in her heart. Thinking to himself, his face turned even redder.

Baozhu on the side saw her sister's appearance, and she hated it in her heart. Why should such a good thing be given to my sister. What does a sister have besides her beautiful appearance? It's not enough to live in a big family just by being beautiful, you also have to have a scheming, like my sister, who has a cannon temperament, joy and anger are on her face, and when you come to Chen's house, I'm afraid that there are no bones left, let alone help the family.

But she was too young and her size had not yet opened, so her parents did not consider herself. Thinking of this, she looked at her idiot sister again, glanced at her disdainfully, and then said to her mother: "But, mother, people seem to prefer Mingzhu's little slut, you see that today's grand pick-up of her, even the dead ghost mother with her is stained." ”

One sentence successfully provoked the anger in the hearts of Pearl and Aunt Sun. Pearl said to Aunt Sun: "Mother, you say every day that their mother and daughter are in your hands, you see that Mingzhu's little slut has climbed the high branches, and the mother's anger is still behind in the future." ”

Aunt Sun hates this the most: "Your mother is angry, are you happy?" Hmph, Mingzhu is still young after all, her body has not grown, and her posture is far worse than yours, wait for her to be a stepping stone first, I will find a chance for your father to say that it is to thank Lord Chen for his love for Mingzhu, and invite him to come to the house for dinner, and then it will be your opportunity, you must take advantage of it. As long as you enter the eyes of Lord Chen, you must think of entering the Chen Mansion, so that you will become a noble person in the future. ”

Pearl listened's eyes lit up: "Mother, you still have a way, I'll go down first to see if there are any new clothes, and then you and your father will add it up." ”

Baozhu listened to her sister's words and almost laughed, this sister didn't even know how to pretend to be shy, she was really brainless. However, the method that my mother said is very good, in fact, this is an opportunity for my sister, so why not for myself. Actually, Lord Chen is so good to Mingzhu, maybe he likes a young girl, so wouldn't he have a better chance of winning than his sister. Thinking of this, she was also anxious, but her face was silent, and she talked to Aunt Sun for a while before going back to the room to think about it.

The pearl of the Xu family's conspiracy here is not known at all. She was happily going to Chen Wenhui's house with her mother.

After getting out of the carriage, Chen Caijia personally guided their mother and daughter into the main hall. Along the way, Chen Cai's family was neither humble nor arrogant, obedient and polite, and the servants and women he met on the road also saluted them politely, and the Hu family had not enjoyed the courtesy due to being a lady for a long time, and couldn't help but have red eyes.

When he arrived in front of the hall, Bai had already taken his daughter Chen Wenhui to greet him and saluted affectionately. Hu Shi was moved in his heart, tears couldn't help but come out of his eyes, and he hurriedly turned around and wiped them.

Bai's mother and daughter and Hu's mother and daughter arrived in the hall, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Bai said affectionately: "Sister Hu, our husband and master have been working together for two years, and we have only met for the first time, so I was really negligent." ”

Hu Shi said lightly: "It's because I'm rude, I should have come to see Mrs. a long time ago, but I can't help myself, where can I come out, I want to thank Mrs. for making me face and sending the housekeeper to pick me up." Otherwise? ”

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were red again, and he couldn't go on. Bai Shi looked sad, originally thought that Hu Shi was abused like this, he must be a cowardly person, but he didn't expect Hu Shi to be gentle and polite, if it weren't for the sad look between his eyebrows, I really couldn't imagine that she was the one who was angry at home.

Bai Shi thought of this and said, "Sister, do you know Mrs. Hu of the Yang Hanlin family of the Hanlin Academy in the capital?" When Hu Shi heard this, he immediately said, "That's my cousin." ”

Bai smiled: "Then we have to be close and close." I am close friends with Mrs. Hu of Yang Hanlin's family. In Kyoto, we often go back and forth. I also heard that she has a cousin who married to Jiangnan, but I didn't expect it to be right in front of me. When she left Beijing, she also asked me to take care of her. It's just that I didn't know that her cousin-in-law was Master Xu, and it was really in vain that the past two years have passed. ”

After speaking, she asked Qingshuang to go to the clip and bring Mrs. Hu's letter.

After a while, Qingshuang returned, still holding three letters in her hand. Bai smiled and showed it to Hu, Hu nervously confessed, couldn't wait to read it again, and suddenly burst into tears.

Hu Shi handed the letter to Qingshuang, took out a handkerchief from his body, and said while wiping his tears: "It turns out that Mrs. and my sister Yuefang are good friends, but it has been more than ten years for me to finally get a little news from my family." It's really useless for the Hu family to give birth to my daughter. ”

Bai Shi looked sad and persuaded: "Sister, don't be sad, I want us women to follow our fathers at home and marry our husbands, if we marry non-people, it is also fate." Fortunately, God has eyes, let us meet, and we will be sisters from now on. If my sister doesn't dislike it, I want to marry Jin Lan with my sister. My Hui'er came back yesterday and told me that Ling Ai is a good girl, and when I saw it today, she was really beautiful, so she just went over and made me a goddaughter. ”

Hu Shi was even more moved when he heard this: "Madame doesn't dislike me as a useless person, and she has to condescend to be noble, how can I afford it." ”

Chen Wenhui on the side was impatient when she heard it: "Mrs. Hu, mother, don't be sour." Just let Qingshuang prepare, first the two of you will marry Jin Lan, and then accept my sister Mingzhu as a righteous daughter. ”

Xu Mingzhu was also a cheerful person, and immediately walked in front of Bai's and called crisply: "The child visits his mother-in-law." ”

Bai originally recognized Xu Mingzhu as a righteous daughter on his daughter's face, but now he found out that Hu was his friend's cousin, so he started to help, and now he is even more happy to see Xu Mingzhu at a young age, and he is even more happy, now he really wants to recognize Mingzhu as a righteous daughter.

Hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, pulled him to his side, and asked carefully about his age, what books he usually reads as a female worker. And took off the red gold bracelet of the begonia flower in his hand and put it on Xu Mingzhu's hand.

Xu Mingzhu wanted to shirk it, but Bai had already put the bracelet on, so he no longer shirked and replied, "Thank you for the reward from your stepmother." My female workers are still okay, cooking, knitting, these are all taught by my mother, we usually do not have daily monthly money, a qiē to use the silver money is my mother and I do needlework in exchange for it. So I practiced a lot. But reading is not a good thing. My mother taught me how to read, but we were all busy with work on weekdays, so there was nothing to read. ”

Bai Shi suddenly felt sad when he heard this. Although she was born as a concubine, she grew up in brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, where is she like Xu Mingzhu, who is obviously a concubine of the eunuch, but she lives the life of a poor girl. Hurriedly opened Mingzhu's palm and saw that the small fingers were full of needle-eye calluses, where was the appearance of everyone's beautiful jade fingers. Immediately felt pity.

Chen Wenhui on the side looked extremely angry, and said to her mother: "Mother, look at my sister's arm." Bai Shi was surprised when he heard it, but Xu Mingzhu smiled and refused to show it, Hu Shi on the side was crying out of breath, Bai Shi knew that something was wrong, he rolled up his sleeve with one hand and looked at it, gasped, only to see that it was full of purple and blue, and there was a lot of blood oozing.

Chen Wenhui on the side shouted: "Oh my God, this injury is worse than what I saw yesterday, but did they beat you again when you went home yesterday?" ”

Xu Mingzhu didn't care, and said with a big grin: "They came back yesterday to make me angry, scolded me a few words, but gave me back, they started to beat me, hum, just by virtue of where the two of them are my opponents, I was beaten several times, and then their dog legs came, helped them beat me, I was injured, if I was not afraid of them one-on-one." ”

Hu Shi cried: "This child, nothing else is like me, it's just this temper like me, how many grievances I have suffered." ”

This time Chen Wenhui was even more angry: "My sister is all affected by me. It's because I didn't hold back my anger. ”

Bai Shi hurriedly called Qingshuang to get a plaster to apply to Xu Mingzhu. In my heart, I appreciate Xu Mingzhu's big temperament, and I am even more firm in my belief, for the sake of my friend Hu Yuefang in Beijing, and for this hearty righteous daughter, we must not stand idly by, and we must think of ways to help their mother and daughter get out of the sea of suffering.
