The lady gritted her silver teeth secretly, lightly angry, and when she mentioned her husband, she looked very resentful, but the princess laughed: "My sister must like your husband very much." ”

Madame snorted: "What do you like!" When he was young and ignorant, his father and mother said that he was good, so he married him in a daze, and now that I think about it, I really regret it. ”

"Then did you see him before you got married?" The princess asked.

Madame bowed her head, lowered her eyes and thought about it, and suddenly a shy smile appeared slightly, but she quickly pursed her lips to hide the past.

The princess immediately smiled and said, "My sister's husband must be handsome and knowledgeable. After deliberately looking at the lady's dress, she made another judgment, "The official is above the fourth grade." ”

Mrs. Qi said: "How does my sister ......" Before the words fell, she felt that it was inappropriate, and swallowed the obvious word "know".

The princess told her, "My sister was overjoyed when she saw him as a daughter, and it is natural that you are pleased with his countenance." Nowadays, the world respects scholars, if he is not good at learning, most of your parents will not think he is good, and they will not necessarily have you to marry him. And although my sister is dressed elegantly, but all the things used around her are high-quality products, please forgive my sister for being rude and blunt, if my brother-in-law is a new green-clothed man, I am afraid that Yu Lu is not enough to buy a Shu brocade white horn comb for my sister. What's more, my brother-in-law is now living in the capital, and he must have been released and returned, and he should have been an official for many years. And my sister's maid called my sister Madame, which means that my sister is likely to have been knighted, so I boldly guess that my brother-in-law's official rank should be above the fourth rank. ”

The lady walked out of the curtain in surprise, took the princess's hands and looked at them carefully, and said, "Since you know this, you must be an ordinary person, you must be from the princess's house?" ”

"These things, after living in the imperial city for a few years, you will naturally know about them." The princess smiled lightly, and did not answer her question clearly, and Lady Lada sat down beside her, and said, "My sister is full of style, and her background must be very good, and she has found a good husband, which is really enviable." ”

But the lady shook her head and said dissatisfiedly, "Where is the wish?" If it is wishful, how can there be so much idleness? ”

The princess smiled and asked, "Is it not satisfactory to be able to marry the person you like?" ”

Madame blushed and denied: "Who said I liked him anymore? ”

The princess's smile dissipated, and she sighed abruptly: "If you don't like him, you don't even want to look at him, where do you have the heart to be angry with him?" ”

The lady was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then looked sideways at me, and smiled at the princess again: "You say you envy me? I still envy you! Your husband is gentle and elegant, and there is a bookish atmosphere between his eyebrows, and he will definitely be a figure who drags Zhu waist gold in the future, and ...... When he gazes at you, you look into his eyes, so focused, as if you are the only one left in heaven and earth. ”

She said this so directly in front of me, it made me feel at a loss and embarrassed. I sat slightly sideways in awkwardness, turning my face out of the window, avoiding the subsequent visits from her and the princess.

At this moment, my head and neck were burning, and I must have blushed to the base of my neck, which made the lady chuckle out loud, and whispered something to the princess, and the princess couldn't help laughing softly, but quickly stopped and changed the subject: "Watching the lantern today, why doesn't my sister wear some moth snow willow Bodhi leaves?" ”

Mrs. said: "If you are angry with someone in the family, how can you still be in the mood to wear these?" ”

The princess smiled: "I see that my sister is getting better now, if you don't dislike the rough patterns on my head, how about I give some to my sister to wear?" ”

Madame gladly accepted and said yes with a smile. So the princess immediately took off the clusters of moths and willows from her head and stuck them in the crown of her lady one by one. Seeing that there was no decorative comb on her bun, Madame also generously took out a white horn comb and inserted it for her. The two decorated each other, laughing constantly, looking like close friends who had known each other for many years.

At this time, I heard a calf cart approaching downstairs. After a while, a maid came upstairs to report and said, "Mrs. Zhang has arrived." ”

The lady immediately got up and walked to the door to greet her. I guessed that Madame Zhang was the sister that the young lady was waiting for, so I also stood up with the princess and waited for her to come in.

The lady who entered the house was much older, in her thirties, plainly dressed, and there was no jewelry on her body that could be called a treasure, but her demeanor was elegant, soft and demure, and she should also come from a family of poets and scholars.

She moved in slowly, leading a child of about five or six years old.

As soon as the lady in the room saw her, she stepped forward to salute her and called her "Sister Zhang". And Mrs. Zhang also returned the salute, calling "Ruozhu" lightly, thinking that it should be the young lady's maiden name.

After that, Ruozhu gave us a brief introduction, saying that Mrs. Zhang was her sister Jinlan, and said to Mrs. Zhang that the princess was her new friend, and I was the princess's husband, but she didn't know the identity and name, so she didn't say much.

We give both sides. Mrs. Zhang looked at the princess, and suddenly smiled: "This little lady is very kind-faced, as if she has seen it somewhere." ”

I had a bad feeling. Looking at this lady's bearing and age, it is obvious that she is a woman who can often enter the palace to participate in Yanji, even if she is not the lady who can sit near the palace, it is very likely that she has seen the princess from afar.

The princess was not flustered, and responded calmly with a light smile: "Really? Many people say so. I think that if it were not for my resemblance to any other lady, it would have been for me to have the most featureless face, so that everyone felt that they had seen it before. ”

Everyone laughed, so they didn't delve into the problem, so Ruozhu invited us to take a seat in the hall.

After sitting down, the two ladies were still greeting each other, but the princess's eyes were attracted by the child, and she whispered to me, "This child is so cute, and he looks better than Zhong Ming." ”

The drooping child's eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, his eyes are smart, his complexion is pink and tender, there are a few locks of hair mixed with colored ribbons and several thin braids, and the rest of the hair hangs down below the shoulders, it is a girl's hairstyle, and he looks at Ruozhu with a small mouth and smiles, which is also a girl's demeanor, but he is wearing a boy's clothes and pants.

Later, Ruozhu also noticed the child and said to Mrs. Zhang: "This child is like a jade person, is it from my sister's family?" ”

"I would have liked to have such a child, but unfortunately I don't have it." Mrs. Zhang also smiled and explained, "This is Ah Di, the daughter of the intellectual system of Pang Xuan. Mr. Pang and your brother-in-law have been friends for many years, and I have known his family Mrs. Xiao since childhood, and today they brought their children to my house as guests, and it is inconvenient for me to leave immediately after receiving your letter, so it has been delayed for some time. Your brother-in-law sat down with Master Pang to talk, and Ah Di ran to them to listen. You know your brother-in-law, as soon as you see her wearing boy's clothes, you feel that it is an eyesore, frowning, and you want to stop talking. I was worried that he would say something unpleasant, so I hurriedly confessed, took Ah Di and found an excuse to go out, and told her mother to take her to see the lanterns by the way, and then send them back later, so she came with me. ”

Ruozhu stroked Ati's hair and said to her with a smile, "You are also interested in sitting and talking, can you understand?" ”

Ah Di lowered her eyebrows but smiled silently, while Mrs. Zhang replied from the side: "Don't underestimate her, although she is only five years old now, Master Pang has always taught her as a boy, and she can memorize a lot of the Four Books and Five Classics." ”

Ruozhu became more and more curious, and asked Ah Di again, "Then what are they talking about today?" ”

Ah Di raised his head, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled into a bright smile: "Uncle Sima said that the women of sumo wrestling wear too few clothes, and they are ashamed, ashamed, and unorthodox, and they must ask the official family to prevent them from performing on the street anymore." ”
