At the end of October, it was the birthday of the Hou Shizi of Wu'an, and the Chen family was the sister of the sister-in-law, so she was bound to go back, and after dinner on the first day, she returned to Jinghe and the eldest princess, and the princess nodded and said, "Naturally, I should go." ”

He also instructed: "The younger generations of our family should also go to pay homage to my uncle, you tell the prince to ask him to take Brother Ming." ”

Chen Shi looked embarrassed: "The prince said before, Ming'er has something in his yamen, and he will not be able to go until later, if Brother Ming is waiting for the prince, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

The junior went to kowtow, naturally it should be before the banquet, and the eldest princess Jinghe suddenly sank her face: "Is there something in the yamen?" Is there anything important that we have to do tomorrow? If he says so, you should come back to me first, and I will naturally send someone to his yamen to take leave for him!" ”

The eldest princess Jinghe was disappointed, the son of their family, the future prince of Zhenguo, was so stupid, he was beaten with a stick, and he didn't want to repair the relationship with his powerful brother, but put on a grudge look, and he didn't want to think about it, when you were not in power, you hated you, what loss could people have?

It's just that they ignore you more and more.

The third daughter-in-law, Liang, was leading the maid to come up with fresh grapes, and said with a smile: "Since the second brother said that there is something, it must be really important, and my mother really sent someone to ask, so where to put the second brother's face, and the third master Ming'er was idle, so he sent the third master to take Brother Ming to kowtow to the prince of Wu'an, and that's it." ”

Whether or not to go to court with Zhou Jilin, Chen couldn't wait for this, nodded hurriedly and smiled: "It's still thoughtful for the third brother and sister, it's just the third uncle." ”

Liang said with a smile: "What is the family doing so politely, and asking him to eat and drink, I'm afraid that he will take advantage of his wishes." ”

This daughter-in-law is stronger, but unfortunately she didn't take the life of the Duchess of Zhenguo.

The eldest princess Jinghe didn't say much more, but only sent someone to tell the Zhang family about it, asking her to prepare the clothes of Brother Ming tomorrow, and asked the Liang family to prepare a gift, one for Brother Ming, and one for the Chen family.

Faintly, Zhou Anming represented the princess's mansion.

Chen was still unconscious, and his face did not move at all. Liang understood in his heart, and glanced at Zhou Baolu more and more, and discussed with the eldest princess Jinghe with a smile: "Today, I got the summer clothes of everyone in the house, and the embroidery girls are empty, and the daughter-in-law thinks that other people are enough to wear, only Sister Lu is also twelve, it is the eldest girl, it is inevitable that she will go to the mansion everywhere, the flower banquet poetry meeting of the ladies in each mansion, you have to give the eldest girl a post, you have to move around, eight sets of dresses in a season, and it will be heavy to walk a few more places, so that people will inevitably see some jokes with hearts, It's better to send someone to make a few more sets, so as not to be wronged. ”

Zhou Baolu hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Auntie has a heart, she loves me so much." The ancestor also gave me a satin before, and I have already taken out the lu to do it, and I have to do it tomorrow, and I don't have to do it again. ”

Jinghe, the eldest princess, also nodded and said: "What you think is very much, this is the dignity of our family, but you are at home, thinking that a bowl of water is also flat, and I don't want to say much, so I rewarded the eldest girl satin in the private room, you have mentioned it today, then choose a good satin, and ask the outside Seiko to make six sets, and the color is brighter." ”

The Liang family was busy, and Zhou Baolu couldn't excuse herself, so she just smiled and pushed Jing and the eldest princess: "Grandmother is so eccentric, I have it, why doesn't my sister have it?" Although I am still young, I can't wronged my sister, so I asked my ancestors for my sister. ”

Seeing that she was so well-behaved, the eldest princess Jinghe also liked it in her heart, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, she looks like a sister, but your sister is not good in the official, fortunately, I still have a little bit of something at the bottom of the box." ”

He smiled at Liang's family: "The two cloud shadow yarns that came in from outside, both of them are of good color, just for Jing'er, and I will send someone to send them to you when I turn around." ”

Because Zhou Baojing was not in front of him at this time, the Liang family was busy thanking Zhou Baolu, and Zhou Baolu was just smiling, left and right, and the family was happy.

Where can you see a little bit of overlordship.

While laughing, Liang subconsciously glanced at Chen again, and saw that she was just sitting like a bodhisattva, that is, she didn't talk much, and she didn't say anything, so she couldn't help but sigh for Zhou Baolu in her heart.

That night, when Zhou Baolu was going to the room to talk with Chen, Zhou Anming's mother, the eldest lady of the princess's mansion, Zhang, sent the maid Ziyun to send a delicate box of digging clouds and painting gold, Ziyun replied with a smile: "Madame was cleaning up the cage in the house before, found out this, and said that she didn't wear this anymore, and the eldest girl was at the age when she was going to be a guest outside, which happened to be suitable, so she sent a slave maid to send it to the eldest girl." ”

Zhou Baolu opened it and saw that it was a set of red gold and rubies and a set of ruby-polished begonia flower-shaped buttons, the small flower crown was heavy in his hand, inlaid with a circle of more than 20 thumb-sized rubies, with a pair of begonia flower earrings of the same size ruby, very valuable, but the style was the girl's family, presumably Zhang's own dowry.

Zhou Baolu knew it in her heart, and did not shirk, but just smiled: "You go back to your aunt, thank you aunt for thinking about me, and I am worrying about what Ming'er wears, it just so happens that I have it, and Ming'er will wear this." ”

Ziyun smiled and left.

However, Chen Shi was a little uneasy and said, "This is just too expensive." ”

Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "The elders can't give away, let alone the aunt of the in-laws?" If I don't accept it, it will make my aunt wonder. ”

As for what he doubted, Chen couldn't think of it, and Zhou Baolu didn't say it, Chen was not a person who could argue with others, and when he said this at this time, seeing that Zhou Baolu also made sense, he didn't say anything more.

Zhou Baolu only sent the maid to replace all the buttons of her clothes with this set of buttons overnight.

Because of Chen's poor health, everyone in Jinghe's eldest princess's mansion didn't arrive until near noon, unlike ordinary aunts and grandmothers who had to go back to their parents' house first to help greet guests, but fortunately, everyone in Wu'an's Hou Mansion also took pity on her weak body and didn't blame her.

In the past two years, the prince of Wu'an Hou has become more and more favored by the emperor, especially after last year's Jiangnan Yanzheng case, Chen Xihua followed the younger brother of the saint, King Cheng and the eldest prince, who was only thirteen years old that day, sent down the officials of the two provinces in Jiangnan, and confiscated nearly 10 million taels of silver.

Zhou Baolu looked at it coldly, it was almost noon, the courtyard of the Marquis of Wu'an, under the corridor, was already full of things, this year was only Chen Xihua's 32nd birthday, not a full birthday, but Zhou Baolu felt that the things in this courtyard were more than what his uncle received for his whole birthday two years ago.

This may also be one of the reasons why my uncle has the confidence to interfere with their family's title!

This Wu'an Hou Mansion, Zhou Baolu is very familiar, she and Zhou Anming went to kowtow to Chen Xuhua, and asked Mrs. Chen Zeng's to say goodbye, and met the elders of Wu'an Hou Mansion, he saw that there was still a while after leaving the seat, and he didn't want to go to play with other little girls, but ran to the backyard, the yard where she lived on weekdays, to see the little ones she raised!

There was no deer in the yard, Zhou Baolu looked around, but a rough envoy who was guarding the door behind smiled and said: "Miss Cousin, the eldest young master led the deer you raised to the forest over there, maybe it's still over there." ”

Zhou Baolu knew that this woman was talking about a lush forest in the east of the garden of Wu'an Houfu, there was only one yard there, but now it is empty, there are fewer and fewer people, and there are even fewer people in the forest, but it is not far away, she does not take the girl, and asks them to stay in her yard and wait, so she ran to find it, and sure enough, she saw her fawn in the forest.

The deer still recognized her, as soon as he saw her, he ran over to make love with him, Chen Yi'an obviously fed it well, chubby, and did not look wronged at all, Zhou Baolu liked it in his heart, patted its head, and walked slowly in the forest with it.

Speaking of which, that is, only in this place, she feels relaxed, although at home she said that her grandmother loves her, but the whole feeling is not very comfortable, often feel a little depressed, only in her uncle's house Zhou Baolu feels that she is still a child, a much-loved child who can be arrogant.

Zhou Baolu was a little dazed, letting the deer by her side, slowly pacing and eating grass, she sat down under a tree and sat directly on the grass, anyway, this place is very secret, surrounded by towering trees, and few people will pass by.

Even today, there are no people.

Zhou Baolu watched the deer walking around kicking and tapping, occasionally looking at her with gentle big eyes, Zhou Baolu couldn't help but show a gentle smile, and when he was about to say something, he heard what seemed to be a voice on the edge of the forest?

Zhou Baolu didn't care, only a subtle dissatisfaction that seemed to be disturbed, and when she was about to leave, she heard the intermittent conversation sent by the wind.

"Don't worry. I've got it all arranged. ”

It was the voice of a teenager.

Then I heard a girl whisper faintly: "I, I'm still very afraid, Zhenlang, what if I am found out?" I, I don't dare go. ”

There was a slight cry in her voice, and it sounded weak.

The young man said: "If you don't dare to go, this matter will drag on and be discovered, and both of us will die, Rong'er, think about it, if there is still a way, I am reluctant!" ”

The girl began to cry, and the young man persuaded in a low voice, although it was far away, not every sentence could be heard clearly, but he could still roughly understand, he was persuading the girl to do not know what to do?

Zhou Baolu thought about it, gently drove the deer to the other side of the road, and walked lightly to the place where the two were talking.
