The next day, the festive atmosphere of the Dingnan Hou Mansion still did not dissipate, the Hou Ye and the Li family and others gathered together, the elders of the two and three rooms also sat in the main hall, and even the old lady who rarely appeared in the Buddha hall all the year round was also there.

At this time, Mengbao was sitting in front of the bronze mirror in Jingxin Garden, combing his hair for a while, looking at the figure in the bronze mirror in a daze.

The person in the mirror is only sixteen years old, with willow eyebrows like daisies, double pupils cut water, happy and disgusted, but his face is a little pale because of a serious illness and a long-term poor diet that can't keep up with nutrition.

At this age, she is just a high school student in modern times, but she didn't expect to be married here, and she has been married for a year, even now when I think about her, I still feel a little incredible, which is really ...... It's too young.

Fortunately, Su Mengbao's husband, that is, Shen Nanzhu, the son of the Marquis of Dingnan, served outside, and left the mansion half a month after marriage, and only came back once in a year, and there was still something to do, and it is said that the next time he came back would be at least a year later.

Therefore, Mengbao's goal is to take care of his body, and then strive to be divorced within a year, leave the Hou Mansion with his own private money, and live his own small life in peace.

She doesn't want to be with a person who has no emotional foundation with her, not to mention the same bed and different dreams all day long, and she has to watch her husband take a concubine when she looks back, and lives a life of three wives and four concubines serving one husband, and she has goosebumps when she thinks about it.

Rather than this, she would rather bear the name of being abandoned and die alone in her old age.

It's a big deal to be poked in the back and humiliated a few words, and the big deal is to be driven to live a poor life in the grange, which may be fatal for the real Su Mengbao, but it doesn't matter to her, a modern person.

According to what the red note described to her, now ten taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of four to have food and clothing for a year, and her monthly routine in the Hou Mansion is fifty taels per month, and if she saves enough for a year, she will have six hundred taels, which is enough to live peacefully outside for decades.

If you add those head jewelry, even if there are only one or two pieces, you can pawn a few dozen taels, which is enough for her to live for a few years.

And the original Su Mengbao's monthly case has not been issued since she was sick, and she has been supported by the little silver left before for half a year, and even the medicine she drank was red note according to the doctor's prescription and went out to buy medicinal materials and cooked them by herself.

If these undistributed monthly bills are also counted, then there are as many as three hundred taels, and the sum of a thousand taels of silver is enough for her expenses, and what she has to think about now is how to take this silver away when the time comes.

When Mengbao was immersed in his fantasies, the red note walked in with his head down, crying profusely.

"Still haven't gotten it?" She asked unhurriedly.

Hongzhi nodded, feeling that she was entrusted by Miss Negative, and did not dare to look up at her.

Mengbao smiled and put down the comb: "Help me pull my hair in a bun, it's simple, generous and decent." ”

The red note answered and hurried to comb her hair.

With her hair in a bun, Mengbao looked at the person in her glasses again, made up her mind, walked out of the door, and took the first step to ask for a break......

"Miss, where are you going?"

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of Jingxin Garden, they heard the sound of the jewel behind them.

"Today's newcomer toasts tea, as an elder, I should naturally go and see it."

Baozhu was overjoyed and ran over in a few steps: "I'll go too." ”

Mengbao has a headache, Baozhu is the daughter of Su Mengbao's nurse, and she entered the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion at the age of five, and her full name is Liu Baozhu.

Because the treasure word in the name overlapped with her name, it should have been changed to another name, but at that time, Su Mengbao was very close to the nurse and loved the nurse's child very much, so he didn't change her name despite everyone's obstruction, and insisted on calling her Baozhu.

The people of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion had no choice but to go with her, and this call was called for ten years.

And Baozhu also has a very special status in the mansion, and she is simply raised as a young lady, and even several concubines in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion are polite when they see her, and she herself has developed an arrogant and arrogant temperament, and she really regards herself as half a master.

After Mengbao crossed over, he only treated her and Hongjian as half-grown children, and he didn't bother to care about her temper, turned a blind eye to it, and got by, but after that, he handed over some important things to the relatively calm Hongjian, and didn't let her go anymore.

Looking at her expectant expression at this moment, Mengbao couldn't bear to sweep her up, after all, she might not have walked out of Jingxin Garden for a long time, so she nodded and agreed to her, but told her to restrain her temper as she walked, and when she saw someone later, she should follow the rules, advance and retreat in moderation, and not act recklessly.

Baozhu responded one by one, but frowned when he looked at the clothes Mengbao was wearing.

"Miss, do you want to go back and change your clothes? This body is too plain and old, and I don't have to lose my dignity in front of the bride. ”

Meng Bao smiled and shook his head: "No, it's like this, it's good." Also, that's the second brother's wife, you should call it the second young grandmother, not the bride. ”

Baozhu pouted, looking a little disdainful, and muttered in response.

Several people walked towards Yongzhuyuan, but were stopped before they could step into the courtyard door.

The maid at the door looked at her, and saw that her clothes were not very luxurious, so she looked up and down and asked, "I don't know which lady you are?" Our Hou Ye is ......"

"Keep your dog's eyes open and see clearly! This is Mrs. Shizi! ”

Baozhu snapped.

The maid was startled, and even Mengbao and Hongjian were startled, and looked at her with wide eyes and some surprise.

At the beginning, the real Su Mengbao was married into the Dingnan Hou Mansion in a negative mood, and he was not satisfied with his marriage, and he almost never left his courtyard since he got married, and after he was sick, he was moved to the remote Jingxin Garden, let alone came out.

Not long after the maid was transferred from another courtyard, where did she recognize her as the eldest lady of the prince, and at this moment she was almost frightened to cry when she learned her identity, and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake.

Mengbao glared at Baozhu angrily, but Baozhu still didn't know it, and glared at the girl angrily, hating to go up and slap the maid twice.

Qiuping, the eldest girl in Yongzhu Garden, heard the movement and walked over, and was taken aback when she saw her: "Young lady, why are you here?" Feeling big? ”

Although Mengbao was annoyed that Baozhu didn't know how to advance or retreat, he still turned around and responded: "It's better, I didn't feel very comfortable yesterday, and I didn't come out to meet the guests for fear of disturbing the wedding banquet of the newlyweds." Isn't this going down to the ground today, so I'll come and take a look, I don't know if I'm in time to ask the newcomer for a cup of tea? ”

Qiu Ping frowned when she heard this, and said with some embarrassment: "Young lady, the second young master and the second young grandmother have finished the tea, and they are chatting with the Hou Ye and Mrs., and they will disperse after a while, you see that your body has just seen well, why don't you go back and rest, and come over early in the coming day to talk to the eldest lady and them?" ”

Meng Bao smiled when she heard this, this was to send her away on the grounds that she was late.

She raised her feet and walked towards the main room, saying as she walked: "I am young, and the last time I participated in the tea ceremony was when I married into the mansion. That time, the prince got up late, and we only came at this hour.

This time, the second brother and the younger brother and sister got married, and no one told me that the time had been changed, so I thought it should be at this time, and it was still this time.

It seems that it was too late, and I went to make amends to my father and mother in person. ”

In fact, it was the real Su Mengbao who cried inexplicably for most of the night after breaking her body on the wedding night, Shen Nanzhu thought she was unwell, and saw that she didn't wake up in the early morning, so she didn't call her, and only said that she was up late.

Qiu Ping was a little embarrassed when she heard this, no one had ever gone to Jingxin Garden to say hello to the second young master's marriage, let alone invite the young lady to participate in the tea ceremony, this matter was originally what they did wrong, and now it was brought up intentionally or unintentionally, so that she didn't know what to do.

In a trance, Mengbao has already stepped into the main room.

Everyone in the room was stunned, and the laughter suddenly stopped.

The second wife was the first to react, and smiled at Mengbao, but the corner of her eyes was aimed at Li: "Yo, isn't this Mengbao?" Why hasn't it been like this for a long time? My aunt almost didn't recognize me. ”

Mengbao bent his knees and saluted everyone in the room in turn, and then replied to the words of the second wife: "Thank you for your second aunt's concern, Mengbao has been sick a few days ago, and her mother is afraid that Mengbao's greasy diet is not conducive to recuperation, so she gave Mengbao a few months of steamed bread and pickles."

Now Mengbao's illness is better, I have come to thank my mother, if it weren't for my mother's care, Mengbao's illness would not be so easy to get better.
