The two squeezed out of the crowd hand in hand, and Liu Yiyu said, "Your second brother is really easy to talk to." ”

Zhuo Ruoning nodded proudly: "The second emperor's grandson said that my second brother's popularity and knowledge are very good. By the way, is there anyone else in the light tower? ”

"It's all about the same age, maybe you know."

Zhuo Ruoning was a little weak-hearted: "I haven't been back to Nanjing for a few years, and I probably don't remember it." ”

They entered through the side door of the lamp tower, and went directly to a small room on the second floor, and when they entered the door, they saw several women kneeling in the open space surrounded by lamp stands.

Zhuo Ruoning originally thought that they were all daughters of ordinary officials, but she didn't expect that they were all dressed in gold and silver, dressed in a luxurious manner, like a young lady from a noble family with status.

Zhuo Ruoning asked Liu Yiyu if she had made a mistake, she pushed Zhuo Ruoning in, and answered vaguely. When Zhuo Ruoning saw the girl sitting on her right, the words she wanted to ask stopped abruptly, realizing that Liu Yiyu had another purpose in attracting her.

What are you really afraid of, Zheng Guogong's daughter Xi Rong is also there, she slowly twists a string of ruby beads in her hand, lifts the corner of her mouth and smiles coldly, and Zhuo Ruoning with a look of surprise is reflected in her eyes, and the enthusiastic girl in the palace is like two people.

Next to Xi Rong sat a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, wearing a pink satin two-color gold peony pattern round-neck gown, a cinnabar embroidered floral horse-faced skirt, and a shiny gold jewelry on her head.

In the face of the battle in front of him, even if he had no social experience, Zhuo Ruoning smelled the smell of conspiracy. She turned her head and asked Liu Yiyu, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Yiyu's eyes flashed: "A few sisters said they knew you and asked you to talk." ”

Zhuo Ruoning wanted to know even worse, her eyes were dark, and she didn't know what she had done with these people before.

Xi Rong got up, walked to her side, suddenly grabbed her arm, and said affectionately: "Ah Ning is here, don't you want to learn poetry with her, the opportunity is rare!" ”

The girls all covered their mouths and laughed.

She sat down on the futon according to Zhuo Ruoning, Zhuo Ruoning was in a dilemma, getting up and leaving would offend people, and sitting here was scared, this feeling was very bad, which reminded her of being besieged and bullied when she was in school.

Liu Yiyu ignored Zhuo Ruoning's eyes for help and quietly withdrew from the lamp room.

Xi Rong sat down again and asked with a smile: "What about the hairpin you asked for from the lord of Jiangdu County, why don't you wear it?" ”

"Begging?" Zhuo Ruoning was surprised.

"Or else?"

Zhuo Ruoning finally reacted, the hairpin was clearly designed by the county lord of Jiangdu and Xi Rong to be forced into her, I am afraid it was to humiliate her in the future. Xi Rong said that "begging" is "begging", because the poems she wrote are there, and if she justifies that she "won", it will cause people to laugh.

Everyone else shouted in surprise: "The county lord of Jiangdu is too generous, how can the Zhuo family be worthy of such valuable jewelry?" ”

"That's not necessarily, Ah Ning's ambition is no better than you and me."

She pointed to one of the girls in green, "Are you comparable?" ”

The girl covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't dare to compare, if I am lazy all day long, and learn from those foxes who scratch their heads and make gestures, they will be sent to the temple to be a sister-in-law." ”

She asked Zhuo Ruoning with a smile, "Ah Ning, the girls of the Zhuo family are all beauties, right?" Don't you have to read and write? ”

said that they could bear it if they said anything else, and the other girls of the Zhuo family didn't provoke them, Zhuo Ruo lowered his face and swept his gaze straight over.

She was startled by the anger in Zhuo Ruoning's eyes, and forgot what she wanted to say, Zhuo Ruoning said, "I'll sit in front of you, you have your own judgment on whether it's beautiful or ugly." If you're curious about what my sisters look like, I'll take you to meet them? ”

She refuted her face, her face couldn't hold it, she pouted at the other girl, and pretended to be disdainful, "The temper is so big, who is used to it?" ”

The other smiled: "Zhuo Fu Shuangshu is famous, and his temper is naturally great. ”

She rolled her eyes angrily, "How many limericks can you write and be arrogant like this?" ”

The atmosphere is inexplicably embarrassing, Zhuo Ruoning has never quarreled with anyone, and she will not hurt people with a weird yin and yang spirit, she was humiliated inexplicably, it is fake not to be angry, she only has one idea now, and she will never make friends with people casually in the future.

She said with a straight face: "I don't know when I offended you, but one person does things and one person does things, if I do something wrong, just tell me, please don't involve my family." ”

The faces of the girls present all changed, and the girl who sarcastically said, "Offend us? Do you deserve it too? ”

"That's strange, since you're not all the way, what are you fooling me for?"

She was dumbfounded by Zhuo Ruoning's question, and the other said: "It's because you don't have self-knowledge, the daughter of the six-grade Guozijian Siye, you have the false name of a talented woman, and you can't even write well, why do you stalk General Xiao Geng." ”

Zhuo Ruoning suddenly realized that the root of everything was here. She suddenly felt funny, and these girls were not as hateful as before, they were all idle and boring people.

"If I quit, are so many of you ready to marry him? But who will be a wife, and who will be a concubine? ”

She asked the girl who came out, "What kind of official is your father?" Is it bigger than Zheng Guogong? ”

The girl's face turned pale with anger, "I'm not like you. ”

Zhuo Ruoning: "What's the difference, if you don't covet Geng Kan, why are you sneering at me?" ”

The girl was so frightened by her that she had nothing to say, and she was indignant.
