The younger sisters of the Hou Shizi of Wu'an are all married, only the eldest daughter Chen Yikuan is only four years old, which is useless, and the other ladies of the Chen Mansion are only younger, Zhou Baolu is Chen Xihua's nephew and daughter, even if she is the master, she should go to Huafangyuan to greet the young ladies.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a crisp girl's voice and smiled: "Xiaolu, it's still your uncle's happy event, you only showed up at this time, and we have done a round of poems!" ”

This is Liang Fangqin, the eldest daughter of Xiuhe County Lord, and the niece and nephew of Zhou Baolu's aunt Liang, who has been familiar with her since she was a child, but she smiled and said: "It's my uncle's good day, I'll help my aunt, you also know that the eldest sister is only four years old, and she only knows how to play, and there are no girls at home, so I can't wait?" ”

A girl with a melon seed face sitting next to her pursed her lips and smiled: "Coax us again, I went to say hello to my cousin before, why didn't I see you?" I don't know where to play, but I don't call us, what is the reason? ”

Zhou Baolu knew that the corners of Wang Jinxiu's mouth were very strong, so she just smiled, and beckoned them to eat fruit and drink tea: "You drink this tea today, but I took it out, the white peony sent by Fuding, a total of one catty, I told my aunt, only entertain the sisters." Are you drinking alright? ”

The ladies are also interested, and they won't say more about the jokes, and when they talk about this tea, Miss Wang said: "It's strange that I feel that it is different from what I usually use, the taste is lighter, but the aftertaste is good." ”

Zheng Ling, Miss Zheng Qi of Anguo Mansion, said with a smile: "Although it is a game, it is fresh. When I came this time, I thought that you only went back to Tianjin once a year ago, and this time I was afraid that there would be new things from Tianjin for us to see, and I didn't want to take out Fujian. ”

The imperial capital lady has the pride of the imperial capital girl, but everything that is not the imperial capital is all game, Zhou Baolu also knows it very well, and smiled casually: "What good things can Tianjin have?" Which thing has the seventh sister eaten and seen that is not better than Tianjin Wei's things? When it comes to things, there really isn't anything available, but we didn't take the official road along the way, but we saw a lot of new things. ”

When the ladies heard this, they suddenly had a spirit, and the ladies who were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting and eating fruits heard this, and they all came over, and the little county lord of the Chengwang family was the most anxious, and immediately said: "What is new?" Let's hear it yet. ”

Zhou Baolu is as good as a stream, so she told the little girls about what she had seen and heard along the way, although she was not very old, she was articulate, and she told the story from the beginning to the end, vividly, the little girls are all beautiful women who do not go out of the door on weekdays, where do you know these rural fun, all of them are stunned, and they all listen to Zhou Baolu in a circle.

Only the third lady of the Wu family from the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Yuehua, although she also listened, secretly gritted her teeth, she is the young lady of the Wu family of the Jiangnan clan, this year is fourteen, because her maternal ancestor Lin Lao has been promoted to the elder of the pavilion for several years, and has already sat firmly in the seat, and now it is already a hot and valuable identity in the imperial capital, the Wu family intends to choose a son-in-law for her in the imperial capital, and before this year, she and a sister-in-law, the fourth miss of the Wu family, were sent to Beijing together to live in the ancestral mansion.

It has been nearly a year in the imperial capital, Wu Yuehua was led by her aunt or aunt, and she has participated in more than a dozen banquets in the imperial capital.

Because Wu Yuehua is from Jiangnan, and has the experience of going from Jiangnan to the imperial capital, what she sees and hears is naturally different from the boudoir ladies who have never been out of Beijing, and she has always been her eye-catching weapon, but it doesn't work in this Wu'an Hou Mansion today, she is talking about it on weekdays, others listen to it, but today it is reversed, and she has become an audience.

Wu Yuehua couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, this little girl who was only twelve years old just went to Tianjin, such a close place, what is worth saying, everyone is so supportive, just because she is the granddaughter of the princess and the niece of Wu Anhou.

Wu Yuehua was holding back her strength in her heart, and listened to Zhou Baolu say that their group missed the lodging, and they didn't go to the village before or after the store, and they finally ran into a farmhouse, so they knocked on the door, and when they stayed overnight, they finally couldn't help but say: "This peasant family must be a fox spirit illusion?" ”

Zhou Baolu looked at her in surprise, and before she could speak, the little county lord on the side smiled: "It's not that everyone has the chance to meet monsters, it's just that the sister of the Wu family has encountered banana essence once, how can Xiaolu have such a creation." ”

Speaking of which, I couldn't help but laugh a little later, covering my mouth and just laughing.

Although the people present were just little girls, but many of the young ladies who came out of these people were exquisite, as soon as the little county lord said this, naturally some people had a bright heart, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, Zhou Baolu This is the first time she has seen Wu Yuehua, and she still doesn't understand the cause and effect, Zheng Ling said a few words in her ear, and Zhou Baolu immediately understood.

This Wu Yuehua talked about Jiangnan and what he had seen and heard on the road, naturally in order to use this as a bridge, attract people's attention, shorten the distance, and make friends, this is actually a good way, it is not very easy for a foreigner to integrate into the social circle of the imperial capital, Wu Yuehua's trick is obviously very effective.

It's just that Wu Yuehua was born in a big family, and naturally she is also a lady who doesn't go out of the door, a fourteen-year-old girl, even if she lives in Jiangnan and has passed the distance from Jiangnan to the imperial capital, it is nothing more than a slight difference in food and clothing customs, what can you see outside? After talking about it three or four times, there will be no new topics.

Everyone gradually lost interest in her.

Wu Yuehua is a very strong character, and it is easy to insert a kick in the circle of young ladies in the imperial capital, but she is powerless, and she sees that her original limelight is gone, how can she be reluctant? It's just that she doesn't have any other means that can be so eye-catching, and she tastes the sweetness of anecdotes, so she can't help but start to make up and imagine.

The first two times were very restrained, nothing more than hearing that a thief in a certain place robbed a young lady, and I heard that the water dragon king appeared somewhere, etc., are just wild words in some wild history books or stories told by the nurse.

Gradually, Wu Yuehua found that no one doubted it, everyone listened with great interest, the ladies were all around her, the sisters and sisters were very affectionate, as if they were already the limelight figures in the circle of young ladies, Wu Yuehua couldn't help but become more and more bold, and made it up even more boundless, it was like Wu Yuehua's adventures, and the last time I just talked about Wu Yuehua's late night encounter with banana essence.

At this time, Wu Yuehua saw that Zhou Baolu was stealing her limelight here, so she was naturally not angry, she lived the belly of others with her own heart, and casually wanted to expose Zhou Baolu's mind of wanting to make up sensational stories.

Zhou Baolu understood in his heart, and when he heard the little county lord's straightforward casual call, he couldn't help but smile slightly, obviously some people already knew in their hearts, knowing that Wu Yuehua was making up stories to attract attention, but everyone didn't understand.

Don't look at this young lady's circle is all young girls, but they are all from noble backgrounds, and their families are all wealthy families, who have been at the top of the plot for hundreds of years, and their families are carefully educated, and their vision and mind are not comparable to ordinary little girls.

Everyone has different temperaments, different status in the family, and naturally different thoughts, maybe some people are unwilling to offend the Lin family and intend to cheer, or maybe some people are tranquil and unwilling to come out, or maybe some people are interested in watching the excitement and use her as a monkey, and so on.

At this time, the little county lord was broken, and everyone just lowered their heads and smiled, and no one spoke.

Today is a good day for my uncle, Zhou Baolu naturally didn't want to cause trouble, so she pinched the little county lord casually, and said with a smile: "Of course not, it's just an ordinary farmer's family, well, what my uncle said, many families outside are like that, three or five earthen houses, lit with oil lamps, and there are many things in the house that I don't recognize, and there is a thing with wheels, which is said to be spinning!" ”

Zhou Baolu even described it with a painting, and the ladies felt novel.

"We didn't bring much with us, so my uncle told him to buy something to eat, but they didn't have anything at home, only a few dozen sweet potatoes." Zhou Baolu continued.

A young lady next to him hurriedly smiled and asked, "But sweet potatoes?" ”

Zhou Baolu smiled: "Then how can a cook make sweet potatoes for you?" They have an earthen stove, which looks similar to our kitchen, but it is made of earthen walls, add some firewood to it, throw sweet potatoes into it, and eat it after half a day from the ash heap, and it is fragrant! ”

Where have all the young ladies seen such a rude way of eating, they all covered their mouths and laughed.

"It's so dirty!" Only Wu Yuehua pouted and said.

Someone next to him also chimed in: "Yes, how can you eat it." ”

Zhou Baolu said indifferently: "I threw the skin in, peeled the skin, and the golden sweet potato inside was soft and sweet, it was really fragrant, I ate one!" ”

Zheng Ling covered her mouth and smiled: "I don't believe it!" ”

Zhou Baolu suddenly jumped up: "I'll ask the kitchen to burn it for you!" When have I ever told a lie? It's really delicious. ”

Wang Jinxiu said with a smile: "What are you anxious about, you just want to give Xiaoling a look, and it will be two days." This is your uncle's birthday, there are so many elders outside, and when you turn around, it will be a banquet, and the kitchen will be burned for you, it's not good, rest for two days, let's go to your house and see. ”

Wu Yuehua has a hard time in her heart, just looking at the words of this little county lord, Zheng Ling, Wang Jinxiu and others and Zhou Baolu, you can know that although these high-profile ladies in this imperial capital seem to be polite and polite, but their inner circle is not so easy to blend in, they call each other Xiaolu Xiaoling, but to themselves, they are polite Wu family sisters, Wu family sisters.

However, this Zhou Baolu is really anxious! It's like a cannon battle, and I can't stand it when I get excited.

Wu Yuehua couldn't help but think in her heart, maybe this is a good opportunity?

She made a bet with herself, which is naturally a good opportunity to attract attention.

Wu Yuehua is also resolute, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she immediately said: "I don't believe it either." ”

How is her again!

Zhou Baolu couldn't understand, this young lady, she and her were only meeting for the first time, why did she look up to herself so much, and she had no friendship with her, what did it matter to her whether she believed it or not?

Zhou Baolu glanced at her and then withdrew her gaze, and said casually: "If you don't believe it, forget it." ”

Yes!

Wu Yuehua, who was full of ambition, didn't react for a while, and many young ladies around her had already lowered their heads and laughed, and the little county lord's pink Feifei little face was about to burst with laughter.
