Bao Yuan clenched Bai Ling's hand, "I'll tell you, marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat." You have to learn the skills of a woman's family in order to marry a good door, so that you will not be looked down upon by your mother-in-law, otherwise when you arrive, how can you hold your head up in your husband's family? ”

Only then did Bai Ling understand where the sympathy in Bao Yuan's eyes came from.

That's what she's worried about.

But Burling quickly rounded the corner.

It seems that it is not difficult to understand that in this place, women have to say that they are married after fifteen, and they have to marry at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

And he is eleven years old this year, and in the eyes of Bao Yuan, he is probably a person who has already stepped into marriage with half a foot.

Bai Ling said with a half-smile, "If you get married, you will be bullied, okay if I don't marry?" ”

Bao Yuan's head shook like a rattle, and he persuaded seriously, "How can there be a reason for women not to marry, look at those old girls who don't marry, which one has a good end?" Look at me, I'm twenty-one years old this year, if it weren't for my mother's mother, I would have found one for me, and when I was twenty-five out of the palace, how could there be a man willing to marry me? Life flies so fast, don't you think you're young now, you don't take it seriously......"

Bao Yuanwu babbled.

This kind of urging and persuading to marry Bai Ling does not like it.

But Bao Yuan's attitude was almost clumsy, and this clumsiness made Bai Ling slightly moved—this was obviously not just her family's words, but the common fate of women in this era.

"Don't just look at me," Bao Yuan gently slapped the back of Bai Ling's hand, "I said so much, did you listen to me?" ”

"Listen," Bai Ling laughed, "Then Sister Bao Yuan will teach me when she is idle." I'm starting to learn now, is it too late? ”

"Just in time!" Bao Yuan waved his hand, "As long as you want to learn, then wrap it up on me." ”

Saying that, Bao Yuan happily returned to Qu's side and gently knocked Qu on the back, "My embroidery work has been passed down by my mother, isn't it?" ”

Qu Shi smiled again, her gaze falling on the doll, "It seems that I blamed the young man...... You brother and sister have such a good relationship. ”

Bai Ling laughed again.

All right? But when you quarrel, you can also quarrel fiercely.

Bai Yi is really a very stubborn person.

The door outside suddenly opened.

A palace maid with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes came in with hot tea, silently put the tray on the table, and turned to leave.

Qu Shi glanced at the door, "Bao Yuan, you go and talk to the girls outside, don't come in without orders." ”

"Okay~" Bao Yuan nodded obediently, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pour a glass of water for Qu Shi and put it at hand.

As soon as Bao Yuan left, the room suddenly fell silent.

Bai Ling looked at Qu Shi kindly, "It seems that Niangniang has something to say to me." ”

"Hmm." Qu Shi responded, with a peaceful smile on her face, "Originally, there was probably one...... I don't remember much now. ”

Fang Cai Baoyuan said such a big thing, and he was completely forgotten.

"But it's good to come and sit down with you." Qu Shi tilted his head sideways and said slowly.

She thought for a moment, then asked, "Does this bother you?" ”

"No, it won't." Bai Ling said softly, "But I may not stay here forever, Niangniang can make an appointment with me, and I will wait here at the time we agreed." ”

Qu's heart moved slightly, "...... You and the Queen Mother, is it the same? ”

Bai Ling smiled and did not speak.

Qu lowered his eyes and smiled, "Understood, I shouldn't have asked this." ”

"I am tight-lipped about how the Queen Mother will be, and I will be so close to the mother." Bai Ling said, "All our conversations, unless the mother nods and instructs, I will not mention this to any third person, please believe me." ”

Qu Shi was indignant in his heart.

She has never understood why the Queen Mother, who lives in a simple place on weekdays, would let a little girl enter and leave her Cining Palace, and this exchange is four years.

Today, she still doesn't quite understand, but she vaguely feels that she may soon get the answer.

Qu Shi looked at Bai Ling on the bed, feeling warm and confused at the same time - Bai Ling had only been here for a long time, and it made her feel so reliable and trustworthy.

Qu Shi smiled and replied solemnly, "I believe in you." ”

Bai Ling lowered his head, reached out and probed into his sleeve, and took out the "prescription" that had been beaten a little mottled by the rain.

"Then maybe, our treatment can start today."

……

Qu's long time did not return, so that Zheng Shu, who was waiting in the main hall, couldn't sit still, she walked out of the main palace quickly, and saw Bao Yuan standing alone at the door of the east side hall.

Zheng Shu was slightly shocked, "Why are you staying here?" Is the mother in there? ”

"Yes," Bao Yuan nodded, "Niangniang asked me to watch the door outside, so that she could talk to Miss Bai Ling inside." ”

"You're confused!" Zheng Shu said that she was about to break in, "How can you let Niangniang stay inside alone!" ”

"Eh-" Bao Yuan hurriedly blocked, "Niangniang is not alone, there is Bai Ling!" ”

"Bai Ling herself is still sick, if something happens to Niangniang, how can she have the strength to stop it!"

Bao Yuan was stunned for a moment, but still instinctively hugged Zheng Shu, "Granny Shu, listen to me once!" I don't think the mother will-"

"Let go ——!"

The door of the side hall opened at this moment.

Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan's movements stopped, and they saw Qu Guifei walking out with tears in her eyes.

The two hurriedly went left and right to help, Qu Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, shook his head, and motioned for her to be alone and quiet.

Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan didn't dare to say much, so they had to follow back and go back to the main hall with the concubine.

Soon after entering the back room, Qu Shi commanded softly, "The window is open, it's weird." ”

Several palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to prop up the window.

The room was a little brighter again, Qu Shi supported his forehead and lay down, Bao Yuan had already brought a basin of cold water, she soaked the white cotton handkerchief, folded it into a long strip and handed it to Qu Shi, "Niangniang, you apply a compress to your eyes, be careful not to be swollen." ”

Qu took it, and Zheng Shu stepped forward to adjust the cushion on her waist and back for her, so that she could lie comfortably on the bed.

Zheng Shu's eyes were unbearable, and her voice was even more angry, "Niangniang, did that girl say something that shouldn't be said today, why are you crying like this?" ”

Qu took a deep breath and shook his head.

"I'll ask her!"

"Mother-in-law......" Qu Shi took off the blindfolded white handkerchief, and the red and swollen eyebrows were clearly smiling, "Don't go, stay with me here." ”

Zheng Shudeng's heart softened again, she sat down on the edge of Qu's soft couch, and helped to put the white handkerchief on the concubine's eyes again.

"What have you been doing in it for more than an hour?"

"...... chat," Qu replied.

Zheng Shu's brows were still furrowed, "What can we talk about for so long?" ”

"Talk about my illness."

Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan glanced at each other, and there was a bit of surprise in their eyes.

When they mentioned this on weekdays, Qu didn't turn his head cowardly and didn't want to pay attention to it at all. How could I hear Bai Ling talk to her about this today, and talk for so long......

"She must have said a lot of useful things that would make her mother listen." Zheng Shu guessed.

"No," Qu denied lightly, "I'm talking most of the time, and she's listening." ”

What the?

This is even more bizarre......

Zheng Shu frowned slightly, "That...... What did the mother say? ”

"It's all trivial things in life, like learning to ride and shoot at the horse farm, stealing the singing and dancing of famous singers in the house, and ......"

Speaking of his youth, Qu Shi's face rarely smiled slightly.

She wanted to continue, but Zheng Shu interrupted her with concern and asked, "Then how to treat this disease, did Bai Siyao and Niangniang talk about it?" ”

Bao Yuan also sat down closely, "Yes, yes, what did she say?" Is it curable? ”

After a moment of silence, the smile on Qu's face faded again.

"It's not good," Qu's voice regained its calm, "yes...... It's going to be tough. ”
