The two of them were talking, and they saw a few girls walking outside, the first one was the eldest daughter of the Guangping Hou family, who Ying'er pointed out to Shu Manyao just now, and followed by two, Shu Manyao didn't know. Bai Tingting had just entered Beijing not long ago, so naturally she didn't know her.

"Which girl are you?" Miss Ma raised her chin slightly, looked at Shu Manyao and asked, Shu Manyao got up and smiled: "My father is the imperial history of Zuo, surnamed Shu." This is the daughter of Jingfu Cheng, the white girl. ”

"Oh." Miss Ma answered with a long voice, and motioned for Bai Tingting to get up: "You two, let's go outside to play, we are tired of walking outside, so we want to rest here for a while." ”

Bai Tingting's face immediately changed, and Shu Manyao glanced at the two behind Miss Ma - she didn't know her, and she didn't know if there would be any serious consequences if she offended. But if you really let it go, it will be too embarrassing. It doesn't matter if she loses face, but she can also represent the atmosphere of the Shu family at this time.

Shu Chengye is a person who is a royal history, but his own daughter is a soft bone, and Shu Chengye is about to become a laughing stock when he says it - he can't even teach his own daughter well, which shows the family style.

"Sister Ma, the place in this pavilion is very big." Shu Manyao smiled and said: "If Sister Ma and these two sisters have something to say privately, Sister Bai and I will give a seat to a few sisters, if not, why don't we talk together?" ”

Call sister, Miss Ma has to at least scruple about it, Shu Manyao is only fourteen years old this year, Miss Ma is seventeen years old this year, and she looks a lot taller than Shu Manyao.

Bai Tingting was also clever, and hurriedly smiled: "I have heard for a long time that Sister Ma is a cheerful and generous person, I have just entered Beijing, and I don't know a few friends, if Sister Ma doesn't dislike it, let's sit together?" ”

The girl behind Miss Ma snorted and laughed: "What is Sister Ma's identity, and what is your identity?" I don't look at my own virtue, I still want to sit with Sister Ma, I think it's too beautiful! You guys, let's come out quickly, Sister Ma doesn't like to sit with strangers the most, and it's also your blessing that she can take a fancy to this pavilion. ”

Shu Manyao gave Xia Xi a look, and smiled at the girl who spoke just now: "This sister is ......"

Miss Ma didn't say anything, but another person behind her said, "This is the daughter of the king's family." ”

Bai Tingting said like Miss Ma: "Since Miss Wang just said that it is our honor to be able to give up this pavilion for Miss Ma, then, if Miss Wang makes way for us, is it also an honor?" ”

Miss Wang's face changed immediately, and Miss Ma frowned impatiently: "You two, can't you come out?" If you don't come out again, you're welcome! ”

Shu Manyao frowned, and looked at Miss Ma very sincerely: "Sister Ma, this pavilion is so big, if you really don't like me and Sister Bai, why don't we sit on both sides and not hinder each other?" After all, we stayed here just now, and as soon as Sister Ma came, we left suddenly, and when this word spreads, Sister Ma's reputation should not be good. ”

Miss Ma snorted and laughed: "Yo, the little girl can say something, and she knows how to talk about my reputation, but since this girl dares to let you go away, then this girl has her own way to deal with it, what is not famous, can you eat or drink?" Hurry up, if you know each other, you will leave early, and if you continue to talk about it, it will only be more embarrassing for you to wait a while. ”

It was the first time Shu Manyao saw this kind of girl who didn't take her reputation seriously, she was really shocked and dumbfounded. Bai Tingting hadn't seen it before, so she stammered and asked, "You're not afraid that others will say that you are arrogant and domineering, and then ...... about your marriage."

The girl who originally answered for Shu Manyao smiled: "What do you know, Sister Ma has already been engaged, do you know which one to book?" The eldest grandson of the Anguo family! Prince Anguo! In the future, Sister Ma will be the future Duchess of the Kingdom, not higher than you people? ”

Shu Manyao felt that when she saw Miss Ma today, the various concepts in her heart seemed to have been rewritten. Isn't it just an Anguo mansion? No, Anguo Mansion? It's a familiar name.

"But even if it's engaged, Miss Ma is so ......" Bai Tingting still didn't believe it, Miss Wang answered: "You don't have to worry about this, Yang Gongzi is very good at Sister Ma, he must go to the army immediately, and he wants to earn a life for Sister Ma, you guys, you won't have this blessing in the next life, okay, what do you do so much?" Hurry up, get out of the way! ”

"Who is Miss Wang going to let out of the way?" As soon as Miss Wang's words fell, another voice asked, Shu Manyao turned her head and looked, and immediately relaxed, but it was the savior she asked Xia Xi to move back, Li Baoying, the eldest granddaughter of the Weiguo Mansion.

"Why, Sister Li is so stingy that she is reluctant to let me sit in a pavilion?" Miss Ma's face was a little ugly, Shu Manyao hurriedly went down and grabbed Li Baoying's arm, and said with a smile: "Miss Ma misunderstood, just now Sister Baoying said that she wanted me to take a look at her swing, but there were many people at that time, and Baoying was very busy, I am afraid that I will not find time to come to me until now." ”

At this time, she followed Li Baoying away, that is, the master was invited, which not only saved face, but also gave Miss Ma face, and even more snuptuous about Li Baoying's face as a little master, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Don't look at Li Baoying's young age, but she is a very transparent girl. Although her family background is similar to that of Miss Ma, the difference is that Miss Ma's father is already a lord, and her father is still a son.

What's more, as a host, you have to entertain guests who come and go.

"Exactly." Li Baoying smiled and looked sideways at Bai Tingting: "This is the new friend Sister Shu met just now?" I said why didn't Sister Shu go to me, it turned out that she had a new friend, so she forgot about my old friend behind her head. ”

Saying that Shu Manyao is his friend is also a warning to Miss Ma.

"Man Yao and I are cousins." Bai Tingting said with a smile, and also walked over and took Li Baoying's hand: "I heard from Man Yao just now, Miss Li is kind and beautiful, and now I see it, I only think that what Man Yao said is not as good as six or seven out of ten of real people." ”

Li Baoying smiled brighter: "It's all Sister Shu who has won the award, okay, Sister Ma is probably tired of playing and wants to rest, let's not bother Sister Ma, go and see my swing, it's beautiful, I promise, you have never seen a more exquisite swing than this." ”

Miss Ma sneered, Li Baoying didn't hear it, said hello to her, turned around and led Shu Manyao and Bai Tingting away.

"Baoying, who is that prince of Anguo?" After walking a little farther, Shu Manyao asked in a low voice: "I think, he has a very bad eye......

Li Baoying snorted and laughed: "Did she say it again?" ”

Shu Manyao nodded a little embarrassedly: "It was the Wang girl next to her and another girl who said it." ”

"You, not long after you returned to the capital, you can just listen to these words. But there is no son in the Anguo Mansion until now, and there is a lot of chaos in the mansion. She must be talking about An Guogong's eldest grandson, Yang Jian's son of Baiyang. Li Baoying said with a smile, if it weren't for the fact that he was in the Weiguo Mansion at this time, and there were people in front of him, Shu Manyao would have wanted to scream.

"Yang Jianbai?" However, in the end, she couldn't help it, Li Baoying nodded: "Yang Gongzi is a famous beautiful man in the capital, the four beautiful men in the capital, you must have never heard of it, right?" ”

Shu Manyao shook her head in confusion, what is this, and the four beautiful men, according to what? Looks?

"Among the four beautiful men, Yang Gongzi ranks first, not only because of his good looks and good family background, but also because of his good writing, heavy commitment, and a reputation for being a promise in the capital." Li Baoying seems to have finally found the chatterbox switch, and when she turns it on, she can't close it: "The remaining three are Qi Chengchen and Qi Gongzi of Qi's family, Qi Gongzi's peach eyes are very attractive, in addition to his good family background, Qi Gongzi is most famous for being gentle and affectionate." And ......"

Shu Manyao and Bai Tingting are just like the buns that have just entered the city from the countryside, their two faces are exactly the same surprise and shock - what is this, is it a popular selection of beautiful men in Beijing?

And Li Baoying's hard speech is not without merit, at least, Shu Manyao doesn't have time to think about Miss Ma at this time It turned out to be Yang Jianbai's first wife. When I think about it afterwards, I don't have the indescribable feeling I just knew afterwards.

"That horse girl, it's really arrogant, grandmother, you don't see it, she can't wait for her eyes to grow on the top of her head, but what I don't like the most, it's not the horse girl, although the horse girl is arrogant, but she has that qualification, what I hate the most is that Wang girl, her family background is not outstanding, so she stammers a higher status, acting for the tiger, she is really a villain."

"There are also the four beautiful men in the capital, grandmother, I don't know that this was prevalent in the capital, I don't know if when Zheming grows up, there will be this opportunity to be selected as the four beautiful men."

"Your grandfather was ...... back then" The old lady suddenly smiled, with a look of nostalgia, and her tone was a little melancholy: "I was also selected as one of the four beautiful men, if he wasn't good-looking, I wouldn't have looked down on him back then, but it's a pity that your grandfather is short-lived, at this time, I'd rather he be ugly." ”

Seeing that it was said that her grandmother was sad, Shu Manyao hurriedly shrunk her neck and didn't dare to make a sound.

"That Bai Tingting, what did you say?" Fortunately, the old lady was open-minded, sighed, and changed the subject. Shu Manyao hurriedly repeated what she and Bai Tingting said: "The eldest aunt doesn't know when she will give birth, and the eldest uncle will definitely take the eldest aunt and them into Beijing at that time, right?" If the second uncle opened the academy, wouldn't he be able to come? ”

"You can write to me and ask about this." The old lady said with a smile, paused and picked up the topic just now: "Since the Bai family has just entered Beijing, I'm afraid that it will be time to send us a post in two days, and when the time comes, you can hold a small banquet at home, can you be sure?" ”

Shu Manyao has been following the old lady to learn housekeeping for several months, all under the leadership of the old lady to read the account books, see the housekeeper's mother, and never do anything by herself, after listening to the old lady's words, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Only entertain the Bai family?" ”

The old lady shook her head: "In the capital, interpersonal relationships are the most important. When the Bai family first arrived, they must have met more people. We and the Bai family are also related, so we can help if we can. Do you think that when we go to the Patriotic Mansion, the Imperial Mansion will entertain our family? ”

Shu Manyao thought about it for a moment and shook his head: "There are also Shi Yushi's wife and so on." "Shi Yushi and your father will be colleagues in the future, and Lord Chen will be your father's peak in the future, these people, with our own family relationship, can we see each other on weekdays?" The old lady asked, Shu Manyao shook her head: "Unless someone else made a post, otherwise, it is not good for us to come to the door directly." w,," The old lady rubbed Shu Manyao's hair with satisfaction: "That's the truth, since the Bai family has something to do with our family, then we have to help out, you think carefully, what kind of official position is Lord Bai, with his identity, who does Madame Bai need to see the most, what can we invite, and then think about how to raise nine for this banquet."
