CHAPTER XXII
Chen Ziyao's face was extremely natural, "I was attracted by my cousin's piano sound, and I didn't come here specifically." ”
Chen Nanying frowned, "Brother, I didn't say you, this is a backyard after all, if you are a man here, I am afraid that it will damage my cousin's reputation, and then it will ......."
Cui Yuzhu was already sensitive, and when she heard this, she was anxious, "Cousin said carefully." ”
"My cousin came over to give me some advice, and we just said a few words together, how can I damage my reputation?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she blinked two tears, "Cousin, take this piano back, if others know, they will think that we will give it to each other privately." ”
Cui Yuzhu can't do anything else, and her tears fall the fastest.
Chen Ziyao was a little panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "What is my cousin talking about, my brothers and sisters give each other some gifts, what does it have to do with private gifts?" ”
Cui Yuzhu glanced at him with tears in her eyes, turned her back and ignored him.
Chen Ziyao choked slightly, stood up and separated himself from her, and said softly: "It's because I didn't think about it, and my sister shed tears, so I'll leave." ”
Chen Ziyao retreated to the door, and looked back reluctantly, before pulling Chen Nanying aside and scolding her in a low voice: "What did you just say!" ”
Chen Nanying also wants to learn from Cui Yuzhu's good ability to shed tears in the blink of an eye, but it is really difficult to do. She glared at him, "Did I say it wrong?" ”
Chen Ziyao took a deep breath, his face was a little bad, "You're right, it's my fault." ”
He lowered his voice and said to her, "She's crying, can you coax her?" ”
Chen Nanying should not.
Chen Ziyao said again: "Count my brother owing you a personal favor." ”
Chen Nanying was even more angry when she heard this, "She is crying and angry at what I said, what does it have to do with you?" ”
Chen Ziyao was speechless when asked, and frowned: "When did my sister become so aggressive?" ”
"I ...... I'm mad at you. ”
Saying that, Chen Nanying was about to go to Cui Yuzhu's house, but Chen Ziyao grabbed her and said uneasily: "Yuzhu is also your sister, don't bully her." ”
Chen Nanying: "......"
Cui Yuzhu just shed a few tears in response to the situation, not really sad, and when Chen Nanying came over, she would have already recovered her previous appearance.
has a foresight, Chen Nanying considered it and spoke, "Sister, don't worry about my sister's unintentional words. ”
Cui Yuzhu ignored this stubble and asked, "Why did my sister come to find me?" ”
"Uh......" Chen Nanying was also looking for her for something, so she said in passing, "There is one thing." ”
"I want you to accompany me to the bookstore here in the capital."
"What does my sister want to buy? If you want to read the book, I still have a stack here, and I have all the new ones recently, so just take them and read them. ”
Listen, please.
Chen Nanying was a little speechless, "It's not a book." ”
"What's that buying?"
"I don't buy anything, I have a book of poems printed in Suzhou with a thousand copies, and since I came to the capital, I want to ......"
Cui Yuzhu understood, Chen Nanying was originally the daughter of the prefect in Suzhou, the prefect was a fourth-grade official, and he was a local magistrate in the locality, but it was nothing when he came to the capital.
Since she is here for the future, she naturally needs to spread her talent as soon as possible, and the collection of printed poems is undoubtedly the fastest.
She nodded: "My cousin is talented, and the poetry collection she published is sure to be a big hit." ”
After thinking about it, he said, "I remember that there is a shop in my family that has been rented to be a bookstore, and tomorrow I will find someone to ask, and my sister will wait patiently for some time." ”
"Thank you, sister." Chen Nanying said: "There is one more thing ......"
"Sister, please speak."
"I don't know anyone in the capital, can my sister find an excuse to invite some noble girls in the capital to get together, I am also familiar."
This is to borrow land from Cui Yuzhu.
Cui Yuzhu was a little embarrassed, she sighed, "I can't learn, and I don't like to serve flowers carefully, unlike them who plant flowers and trees, raise fish and rabbits, and really can't find any reason for the party." ”
Chen Nanying said: "Then you ...... before"
"I've never had a serious meeting before, and when I had a new idea, I wrote to this or that to bring them together...... Think about it or forget it. ”
There's no way around it, she doesn't like to be lively. Living alone in the boudoir, if there is food and drink, she can play with herself for a year and a half and will not be lonely.
Like she used to make rose paste, osmanthus soap, plum blossom dew, etc., which does not take a few days. If you don't do anything, just look at the book and swing, wouldn't it be beautiful?
That's why Cui Yuzhu said that she created many knotting methods by herself, and she also played tricks because she was idle at home and had nothing to do.
If you really want to talk about a skill, it is excellent manual work, whether it is cutting cloth and sewing clothes, or embroidery, she also does a good job. It's just that she didn't find an embroiderer like a double-sided embroiderer, otherwise with her demure nature, it would not be difficult to learn.
Chen Nanying shook her head: "You are really different from the people I knew before. ”
Cui Yuzhu not only looks not in the world, but also as a person, she doesn't like to fight or rob, she tears fall when she encounters difficulties, and she lets go after saying a few words.
If there are any shortcomings, it is that she loves to cry too much, Chen Nanying has never seen such a disagreement and shed tears.
"This matter is not in a hurry, next month is the Shangsi Festival, we will go together every year, and besides, ......" Cui Yuzhu paused, "Xue Fangfei's birthday is also coming, and there will be a lot of people at that time." ”
"Xue Fangfei is ......"
Cui Yuzhu explained to her, "It's the Weiguo family." ”
Chen Nanying nodded, "I've heard of it, is it the niece of the current queen?" ”
"yes."
Chen Nanying said, "I heard that she is the king of Qin, and I think that the king of Qin will also come to her birthday, right?" ”
Cui Yuzhu frowned, "This is not necessarily, I haven't seen him in previous years." ”
She explained: "I have been there every year for her birthday in the past few years, and I only felt the cold once, so I sent someone to send her birthday gift. It doesn't seem like he likes to join in the fun, but I've never seen him before. ”
"Oh?" Chen Nanying said: "My father once said that King Qin is a person who does great things, maybe he doesn't like to spend more effort on these mundane things, I heard that he was sent to Yunchuan Mansion the day before yesterday for disaster relief." ”
Cui Yuzhu shook her head, "I haven't heard of this. ”
She is actually not very interested in King Qin, but she really wants to come and go to the Duke of Weiguo's house.
She asked, Wei Guogong does have a son who is ranked fourth, but he is a concubine, and it is likely to be her fourth brother.
As a concubine, she can be regarded as marrying him, but if there is any way, Cui Yuzhu likes him. I just thought that if I was honest with him, would he come to her house to propose......
It should be, he didn't feel nothing for her, she naturally felt this.
