Early the next morning.

Nan Baoyi dressed up and got into the carriage to Xia Mansion.

The three sisters were there, and the carriage was very lively.

Nan Baozhu was eating sugar cakes, and somehow mentioned Nan Baorong's marriage again: "Zhang Yuanwang looks like a dog, but in fact it is really unreliable." If you want me to say, it is a very correct thing for the eldest sister to divorce him. ”

Nan Baoyi was full of curiosity.

After my cousin helped my eldest sister last time, I was busy going to Jiangnan to do business.

Now that half a year has passed, I don't know how the two are progressing, which is really worrying.

She said tentatively: "Big sister is in time for this year, it stands to reason that she should be ready to get married, but there are good people?" ”

Nan Baorong pulled her handkerchief in embarrassment, "You two are both little girls, how can you talk about such a thing as getting married?" Let's talk about this, it's against women's morals......"

"My mother said that women's morals are all done for others to see. To have a good reputation, where is it more important than to be comfortable? Nan Baozhu Zhenzhen said, "Big sister, you are also not small, it is time to look at others!" ”

Nan Baoyi couldn't help but laugh.

The second aunt was born in the dart game and has a bold personality, so naturally she doesn't think that the women's way is a good thing.

Maybe this idea is outrageous, but she quietly feels that the second aunt is right!

She smiled and said: "Big sister, my cousin is also a young talent, and there are not a few girls who covet him, you have to hurry!" ”

Nan Baorong was stunned.

At first she just red her ears, and gradually even her face turned red.

She hung her head, like a shy water lotus that could not withstand the cool breeze.

Nan Baoyi looked at it and secretly rejoiced.

If a girl blushes when she hears the name of a teenager, she must like that teenager very much.

Big sister and cousin, there's a play!

The carriage stopped outside the Xia Mansion.

The second aunt came out of another carriage and greeted them: "Xia Mansion is full of people. Keep close to me, and don't run around, let alone cause trouble. ”

Three people should go down.

Nan Baoyi stepped into the threshold and quietly looked around.

The summer mansion is spacious and luxurious, with courtyard verandahs, pavilions, and flowing gardens, all of which are not exquisite.

Every few steps, they will meet business partners, and the second aunt will greet each other in front, and they will obediently greet each other with the little girl next to each other.

Finally walked to the flower hall where the lady was, and before I even entered, I heard laughter coming from inside:

"I have long heard that the girl of Nan Rou has an outstanding demeanor, and she is a rare wonderful person in Shu County, and when I saw it today, it was true! Even if you stand with the three concubines of the Nan family, I'm afraid that the Nan Rouge girl is even better! I don't know if the girl has a kiss? I love to be a matchmaker the most in my life, and I have several rich sons waiting to pull the red line! ”

Nan Baoyi raised an eyebrow.

She looked at the second aunt, and the other party's face was gloomy, obviously angry.

She knows that their daughter in Nanfu has not gone out to socialize much over the years, but Nan Rou is not too cold to rub the banquet everywhere as a maid outside Nanfu.

The world regards thinness as beauty, and the most admired thin beauties with poems and books in their bellies.

Nan Yan is beautiful and weak, and with Sven's conversation, he can also attract a lot of goodwill.

Therefore, many people in Shu County only know that the outer room girl of Nanfu is outstanding and talented, but they think that the concubine of Nanfu is stupid and stupid.

Nan Yan's delicate voice came out:

"The marriage event is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and the grandmother does not dare to talk about it, thank you for your aunt's kindness!"

Nan Baoyi is funny.

Nan Yan's eyes are high!

If the aunt who pulls the red thread introduces her to the son of Cheng De, who guards the family, it is estimated that she will pinch the veil and answer innocently: "Please consult with your mother, and you don't dare to put your beak in it."

However, the people in the hall praised Nan Yan for his knowledge.

There are even people who regret that she doesn't have a good identity, otherwise she should be the one who is married to the Cheng family.

The second aunt stepped into the threshold and said loudly: "I don't know, you are so concerned about the affairs of my Nan family?" ”

The chatter immediately died down.

Those present were all relatives who were related to the Xia family, as well as some wealthy merchants, many of whom had never seen the concubines of Nanfu.

They looked at the three sisters carefully.

The eldest is dignified and elegant like a delicate flower shining on the water, the second pearl is round and jade is just like the Tang Dynasty is too true, the third is the most wonderful, the little girl in the year of the golden hairpin, delicate but not charming, glamorous but not vulgar, like a delicate hibiscus with dew in the twilight, at a glance, the eyes are like washing.

Compared with Nan Yan, she is beautiful, but she reveals well-carved craftsmanship and charm, lacking the innocence and delicacy of a girl.

The concubine is out of the house, and the superior is immediately insightful.

Nan Yan lowered his eyes.

She knows people's hearts well, so she naturally understands what these people's eyes mean.

With jealousy and hatred in her eyes, she whispered to Xia Qingqing: "We have to find a chance to ask Nan Baoyi, where did your cousin go." ”

Xia Qingqing nodded, got up and said, "It's boring here, Nan Baoyi, I'll take you to the back garden to play." Now is the season of hibiscus blooming, my father spent a lot of money to buy a precious hibiscus, let's go and have a look. ”

Jinguan City also has the reputation of "Furong City".

According to legend, in the Later Shu period, Emperor Meng Chang preferred hibiscus flowers, and ordered the people to plant hibiscus trees on the city wall.

Later, in the golden autumn season, it became a custom to enjoy hibiscus.

Nan Baoyi and other young girls went to the back garden with Xia Qingqing.

In the center of the garden stood a sandalwood trellis with a sterling silver flower pot on it, and a half-human-tall hibiscus was planted in the flower pot.

The hibiscus flower is as big as the mouth of the bowl, and the petals are overlapped, pure white and moving.

"This is called Silver Silk Hibiscus, which my father bought for five thousand taels of silver, but there is no one outside!" Xia Qingqing glanced at Nan Baoyi triumphantly, "Do you have such a valuable hibiscus in your family?" ”

As we all know, the Nan family doesn't know how to write and ink, and they don't even appreciate strange flowers and plants, which is very vulgar!

While everyone was waiting to see the joke, Nan Baoyi sneered: "This kind of bowl-shaped hibiscus flower is indeed rare...... But bowl-shaped gardenias and peonies are everywhere! Miss Xia, I'm afraid you've been cheated by the florist! ”

"You-" Xia Qingqing was furious, "People like you don't deserve to appreciate famous flowers!" ”

Nan Baoyi grimaced at her.

After admiring the silver silk hibiscus, the girls went to play with the handkerchiefs they had made in twos and threes, Nan Baorong was delicate, and Nan Baozhu helped her to go to the distance to rest in the hug.

Nan Baoyi knew that Xia Qingqing and Nan Yan had something to ask her.

So she walked unhurriedly to a remote wisteria alley.

didn't go far, and Xia Qingqing's voice came from behind:

"Nan Baoyi, you stop for me!"

Nan Baoyi turned around, "Looking for me?" ”

Xia Qingqing gritted her teeth: "Have you ever seen my cousin?!" ”

"Cousin?"

"Xia Bowen, the one with a pus-filled face!"

Nan Baoyi was dazed, "I'm a lady who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't step out, and I know how to read and abide by the rules, how can I go to see a foreign man?" ”
