Because he ate a lot of things during the day, Mengbao only ate a few bites at dinner and put down his chopsticks and leaned on the Luohan bed to read.

There are three volumes of "Wild Fun Talk", and she has already seen the end of the second volume, and some of the folk stories recorded in it are quite interesting, which makes her a little unstoppable.

When Zhao's mother walked in, she saw her leaning on the head of the bed, and the pillow under her was crooked to the side, only half of it was behind her back.

She walked over with a smile, grabbed her arm and pulled her up slightly, moving the pillow so that she could lean more comfortably.

"I've never seen you like reading so much before, but now you don't need to be urged, you know that you have books."

Mengbao was watching with relish, not paying attention to what she said, nodding subconsciously, and casually turning the page again.

When Zhao's mother turned her head, she saw the pages of the book, and she was startled by the words she inadvertently saw, and snatched the scroll in her hand with a brush.

"This ...... What is it? ”

Mengbao was startled, a little puzzled: "Book, what's wrong?" ”

"Miss...... Miss you...... How can you read such a book! ”

The straightforward but implicit words in the book made Zhao's mother blush, and she only felt that she seemed to have some hot potato in her hand, and she couldn't wait to throw it away immediately.

"What's wrong...... Can't watch it? ”

Meng Bao saw her anxious and embarrassed expression, both puzzled and a little worried.

Can't you read this book? She thought it was beautiful, at least much better than those poetry collections and scriptures.

"No wonder...... No wonder Miss said those ...... Those slang! Originally...... It turned out that I read these books! That's a ...... What a ......."

Zhao's mother was so anxious that she didn't know what to say, so she glanced around the room in a panic, and finally stared at the candle flame on the side, and reached out to take the scroll and burn it.

Mengbao was shocked and hurriedly snatched it back.

"Mother Zhao, what are you burning my books for?"

"Miss, you can't read a book like this! This is what a woman should see! This...... It's just ...... It's just ......."

She was speechless back and forth, and Mengbao finally understood a little, but I was afraid that the content of this book was an unsightly filth for women in this era, and it could not be touched.

Because Su Mengbao didn't like to read books in the past, even if he was forced by Zhao's mother to read for half an hour every day, he read all the poetry collections or female precepts selected by Zhao's mother, and he had never touched other books.

Mengbao didn't know that this kind of book was something she couldn't read now, and Zhao's mother only thought it was some ordinary travelogue when she looked at the title of the book before, and she didn't take it to heart, and when she found the content of the book at this moment, she almost vomited blood.

She insisted on taking the book and burning it, and her attitude was very resolute, just as she once forced Su Mengbao to read and write every day, and refused to give in.

Mengbao was helpless, so he could only say: "Mother Zhao, it's not that I won't give it to you, but I really can't give it." This book was taken from the Son of the World, and it cannot be burned! ”

Mother Zhao was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

But no, the young lady's books were all sorted out and brought by herself, and there was no such one in them!

She said, "Well, how could Miss read such a book!" It turned out to be the prince of the world!

But...... But even so, she shouldn't have seen it!

"That'...... The slave took it back to Zhuxi Garden and kept it! Anyway, you can't look any further! ”

As he spoke, he took the book again.

Yes......

Mengbao sighed softly in her heart, she hadn't finished reading the story just now......

Mother Zhao didn't care if she hadn't finished reading it, took the book and turned around and went out, as if she was afraid that the book would stay in Jingxin Garden for a few more moments.

In fact, Mengbao doesn't know if this book is Shen Nanzhu's, the original Su Mengbao has never liked to read, and this kind of thing is naturally done by Zhao's mother.

Later, she fell ill and was moved to Jingxinyuan, and Zhao's mother was driven to Zhuangzi again.

This book was brought over by her when she woke up and wanted to understand the surrounding situation and asked Baozhu to go to the study in Zhuxi Garden to pick up the book.

Mengbao didn't know that Zhao's mother would have such a big reaction to this kind of book, otherwise she would never have read it in front of her.

Fortunately, she could see from Zhao's mother's expression that this book should not be hers, so she said that it was Shen Nanzhu's, so she kept the book. Otherwise, if this book is really Shen Nanzhu's, and now it has been burned by her subordinates, it will be a trouble to be discovered in the future.

She sighed and walked to the desk, took out the third volume of "Wild Fun Stories" from the thick stack of books, and with a hint of cunning in her eyes, she looked around the room and secretly hid the books.

………………………………

In Shoufangyuan, the old lady finished washing and lay down on the bed under the service of Mother Xu.

Mother Xu turned around and lit benzoin, and gently blew out the only candle left in the room.

"In your opinion, how credible is that little girl's words today?"

The old lady's deep and upright voice came from the darkness.

Mother Xu thought for a while and replied softly: "It should be all credible, but this girl has a clever mouth and says the originally bad things better." ”

The old lady snorted: "You have also learned to flamboyant." ”

Mother Xu smiled: "No one can escape your eyes in front of you, the slave can't, the little girl naturally can't, in this case, what does the slave and the maid do with that mouth." ”

“…… Mengbao is also a capable person, and it took a long time for those two girls to speak for her. There was no hint of blame in the old lady's tone, but some appreciation.

"Didn't you choose two girls with no background to transfer over just to see if the young lady had this ability? Now I regret trying to bring these two girls over again, but I'm afraid it's too late. Xu's mother laughed and quipped.

The old lady also smiled: "What do I want those two girls to do, it's too much to have such a flamboyant tongue like you by your side, and two more will not be noisy to death." ”

"Oh, the slave can't afford to be accused of being flamboyant, it seems that she will have to talk less in the future."

You didn't say anything less.

The old lady smiled and muttered in her heart, but she didn't say anything more.

Benzoin wafted through the room, and the room gradually fell silent again, except for the sound of long, even breathing.

………………………………

Mengbao didn't dare to read miscellaneous books in front of Zhao's mother anymore, and she couldn't read those poetry collections, so she simply spent more time practicing female celebrity and cooking, and often took advantage of Zhao's mother's absence to intentionally or unintentionally ask Er Magpie about some interesting things between ordinary people.

The two girls only thought that she liked to hear these things to pass the time, and did not notice that she always led the conversation to the two money banks she saw in the West Market and Duobao Street that day.

In fact, it is better to compare it to the money bank on Duobao Street, because the background is strong and the strength is strong, so there is still a certain amount of profit to deposit the silver, while the money bank in the West Market is not profitable.

Mengbao thought about it in his heart, and his brows furrowed a few times and then relaxed.

Although the money village on Duobao Street is good, the people there are all high-ranking families and noble families, and it is really a bit difficult for them to deposit the silver there without being discovered.

Although the scale of the money village in Xishi is small, it can be regarded as stable, and there have been no problems for so many years.

Now I mainly want to transfer this silver secretly, as for the profit...... If not, there will be none.

She made a silent decision in her heart, and intentionally or unintentionally played with a golden hairpin in her makeup when she combed her hair on red note.

The golden hairpin is exquisitely styled, the top is carved into the shape of a butterfly playing with flowers, and there are two rubies inlaid in it, shining vividly.

"Miss wants to wear this hairpin today?" Red Note asked.

Mengbao nodded, and shook his head before the red note could take the hairpin.

"Forget it, it's too heavy, I still don't wear it."

Red Note smiled: "You really don't like to dress up more and more recently, and the headdress you usually like has been put on hold for a long time." You used to wear this hairpin, but I didn't see you too heavy. ”

"Maybe I'm sick, and now I feel uncomfortable wearing a little more on my head."

"Ah, isn't it that I often lie down when I am sick and hurt my neck, right? Then I'll have to invite Dr. Zhang to take a good look. Red Note said worriedly.

"That's not necessary, just wear less of these things."

“…… But...... It's better to stay in this courtyard by yourself, but if you want to go out or meet guests in the house, such a light attire is not very suitable. ”

Exchanges between wealthy families and nobles, proper dress is not only to show their status but also to show respect for each other, too elegant makeup will inevitably make people feel that they do not take each other to heart.

Hongjian felt that since the young lady's illness was cured, she would definitely have to participate in the banquet and go out to meet people in the future, so these hairpins would inevitably be used, and it would not be a good thing if she didn't want to wear them.

Mengbao also seemed to be very distressed, frowned and thought about it, suddenly her eyes lit up, pulled her closer to her side, pointed to a few golden hairpins in the makeup and said, "Otherwise, you take these hairpins that I often wear to go outside to make a new pair?" It's all hollow, so it's much lighter to wear! ”

"Huh? Miss, what are you thinking? The hairpin is more troublesome than the solid one, and although the weight of the hairpin is light, the salary can be a lot of money, and maybe you have to add it to it! It's not worth it......"

"But I just think these hairpins are too heavy...... If you wear a few more, your neck will be crushed......"

The red note couldn't help laughing: "You've been wearing it for so many years, but you haven't seen your neck broken." ”

"Oops, I just don't want to wear it! If you don't help me make it hollow, forget it, I won't wear it in the future. ”

"No, no, how can the slave and the maid not help you, you are the master of the slave and the slave, and the savior of the slave and the maid, whatever you say, the slave and the maid will do it, the slave and the maid just think...... Think so...... It's a bit of a loss......"

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, with some trepidation.

Mengbao sighed in her heart, a little regretful that she spoke to Hongjian in such a tone, this girl thought she was blaming her for not obeying her master's orders.

She knew that it was useless to explain to her, so she simply picked out the heaviest golden hairpins in the makeup and gave them to her: "You can do these by yourself, the style is novel and exquisite, let people follow the new one, and if the style is old and can't be worn, it will be melted and changed into another style." ”

The red note nodded in response and took the hairpin.

Mengbao pulled her closer to his side again, and said in a low voice, "Remember not to tell Mother Zhao, otherwise she will reprimand me if she finds out." ”

After saying that, he winked at her.

Sharing secrets can always shorten the distance between the two in an instant, and the red note really smiled again when he heard this, put the apprehension just now, nodded vigorously, took the right card and turned around to leave.

"Huh."

Meng Bao remembered something again and stopped her.

"Tell the craftsman that all the hollow hairpins are not sealed, and leave a living mouth that can be opened."

"Huh?"

The red note was surprised again.

"Uh...... I think ...... You can put some small incense pills or the like in when you go back, so that you don't need to put incense powder on your body, you should ...... Pretty nice ......."

She casually made up a lie.

The red note's eyes lit up, and he praised that the young lady was really smart, and ran out with a smile after speaking.

Mengbao patted her chest, fortunately, she remembered the most critical issue at the last moment, otherwise she couldn't put anything in it when she got the hairpin back, so wouldn't she be in vain.
