Uncle just came? Sheng Mingzhu just changed into a waist-cinching Hu Ren robe and came out of the room.

A few days later is her birthday banquet, and she is trying on clothes when she has nothing to do these days. Outside, Ruan Shi sat on a chair, Cui Zhu followed behind, and several other servants were waiting outside the door. When Ruan raised his eyes, he saw that she was dressed as a bearded girl, with a horned hat on her head, and a chain of beads falling from above.

The blue waist jacket, the skirt that reached the soles of the feet, and the boots with slight hooks, it was originally a beautiful face of a Han girl, but it was a little more agile than before, Sheng Mingzhu glanced at Ruan's in surprise, and smiled, "Hello, uncle." ”

It was very beautiful, but Ruan Shi felt uncomfortable in his heart, "Wear this for nothing." Everything on the waist is exposed, and I don't feel ......" Cuizhu knew what her wife was thinking, and coughed lightly behind her, Ruan Shi shut up, and covered her lips slightly with a handkerchief.

"It's your birthday in a few days, I'll discuss with your aunt, what should I do for you?"

Yun Niang was sitting on the side, something like that happened a few days ago, she always thought that she and the Ruan family were already at the point of not getting along. She came with a smile today, so she hung her head, thinking that she had to get by on face, "Sister-in-law has a heart." ”

Ruan Shi waved his hand, and Cuizhu let a few small people outside, holding a few cloud brocades in their hands, "These cloths are produced by our own Zhuangzi." Thinking about Mingzhu's birthday in a few days, I always have to take some clothes to wear. "The Sheng family is in charge of the Ruan family herself, and the clothes are customized for all seasons, and even the jewelry has to pass through her hands.

Now that the family has not been separated, she naturally thinks that the Liu family is worried about this matter. has not been separated, and the house is used to have one room, although Sheng Qian has private property, but the Liu family is only a concubine, and he can get a few children. Ruan Shi took the teacup and sipped it quietly, waiting for Yun Niang to look at the fabrics.

On this day, the matter in the court had just come out, and Ruan and the others didn't know about it. Yun Niang just saw those materials, which are also considered high-grade materials, but they are dyed in some places - this is to be made into clothes and worn out to be watched by others, not to laugh off the big teeth, and I don't know what Ruan's means?

Yun Niang glanced at her, and Ruan Shi was still drinking tea with his eyes down. Sheng Mingzhu walked over from the side, "The material is so good." ”

Ruan Shi raised his eyes, the contradiction of the previous days seemed to have never been born, "If you like nature, it's good to ......" someone came in outside while speaking, Huang's mother and Jin Zhi came in, and when they saw Ruan's there, the two of them hurriedly saluted her, "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

Ruan was about to call the two of them up, but he saw a soft yarn on the tray in Jin Zhi's hand. It's just a white gauze robe, with peonies embroidered on the shoulders, and the golden branch is about to enter the house, but is called by Ruan, "Stop? Then he got up and went to her, and looked at it.

After a while, he said to Yun Niang again, "What do I say...... not to mention the clothes and ornaments of the Hu girl just now, the jewels on the horn hat are priceless. With Aunt Liu's concubine, it must be the husband and wife of the old country, and she couldn't stay here anymore, so she walked out of the house directly, and Cuizhu smiled at the head of Yun Niang in the house, and hurriedly followed out.

Later, Yun Niang didn't plan to send her, and muttered in her mouth, "What is it?" ”

It's not like a soft bun. The Ruan family almost lost their lives before, and now they come to their third room as if they were fine? Sheng Mingzhu picked off the jewelry on her ears and rubbed her wrists again. These days, I get along with Sheng Feifei in the house, and I also see what kind of temperament a few people have, "The Sheng family's shops managed by the eldest aunt are running out of money. Daddy is now a high-ranking household servant, why did she come, she couldn't afford to be early. ”

Huang's mother said suspiciously on the side, "Sheng Guogong has such a big family, can he also lose money?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu smiled, and the person in the mirror also smiled, "Moths can't bite anything, and the sky can bite her through." Thinking of this, it hurts, Sheng Mingzhu is not heartless, and she is uncomfortable with those dreams entangled in her head every day, so she secretly checked it, the powerful family in the capital.

But I didn't expect to find out this first? Her eldest aunt is really good, and now the entire Sheng family seems to have demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, but the face of the door is passable, no wonder Song Yu mentioned her with that expression.

He asked Jin Zhi again, "What's the matter with the sari?" ”

"I don't know, Mrs. Yan from the Liuguo Mansion sent it over today. It was said that on the day of the young lady's birthday, she happened to bathe the Buddha and sent a congratulatory gift in advance. ”

"She gave me a gift?" Sheng Mingzhu was still puzzled.

Mother Huang next to her spoke, "It is said that Lord Liu spoiled his concubine and killed his wife." What happened before, that Aunt Zheng was pitiful, and she was given a white silk. ”

Sheng Mingzhu looked at the gauze dress and hung her head again.

On the side, Ruan wanted to go to Old Song Taijun, but her steps were fast, and she couldn't keep up with the cuizhu behind her. Ruan's family was angry, the material of the yarn clothes came out of the palace, only Song Lao Taijun had it, she begged her for so long, Sheng Feifei and Lu Li hadn't asked for it half a year ago, why did Sheng Mingzhu have his fourteenth birthday.

"Mother-in-law, there is something that my daughter-in-law doesn't understand?" The Ruan people did not arrive before they heard the voice.

Mrs. Song is very sensitive, and she already knew what happened in the court, so she didn't bother to take care of her, "I still have some things." It's a little later. Ruan's didn't follow, hanging his head and looking aggrieved, "I saw that palace yarn in the third room just now, mother-in-law, you said before, this thing will be used for Fei Fei's marriage in the future, why is it given to others today?" ”

Old Taijun Song frowned slightly, "When did I give that thing to someone else?" ”

Ruan's aggrieved told everything again, and Mrs. Song especially couldn't see her little family's appearance, "Look at your appearance, how can you still have a bit of the bearing of a housewife." What do you think about the things in the third room? ”

"Who's worried about the three-room stuff?" Nguyen has to defend again.

Mrs. Song asked Cuizhu to tell her all the things that were spread in the capital today, and when Cuizhu finished speaking, she said a little impatiently, "You also looked at the third child's favorite pearl girl, and now this matter is going up." In order to change even the law, what's wrong with a palace yarn, and more than a dozen palace yarns can afford the money? You don't have that ability yourself, and you don't come to me to hang around! ”

Old Song Taijun was upset, and she didn't give Ruan a good face. Ruan's entry into the door to rejuvenate the teacher accountability came, but was counted down by the old lady, and went out in disgrace.

Originally, the people of the entire Sheng Mansion were disheartened, but this time the Ruan family came out from Old Taijun Song, and the wind direction in the entire mansion was also different. The third lady in the metropolitan government is now a well-known noble lady in the whole Beijing, the third master is an official in the state, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, rich and rival the country.

Didn't you see that even this palace yarn was bought in more than a dozen pieces?

Sheng Mingzhu didn't hear the news at first, and it was too late to hear it, and the whole house spread it, and she didn't understand it herself, she didn't know how others were famous, but she jumped into the circle of nobles because she had a father?

——

It seems that this matter with the Liu family is over, but then Liu Zhiran silently entered the household and became a knife and pen officer.

In the Horse Mansion, Jiang Runyan and his mother, the eldest princess, used tea together.

"In a few days, it's the birthday of the third lady of the Sheng family, are you ready for the ceremony?" The eldest princess asked her daughter.

Jiang Runyan retorted, "It's just a concubine, what gift is it worth me to give?" Thinking of Sheng Mingzhu I saw a few days ago, I couldn't help frowning.

"In the future, you will be classmates, and it will be good for you to go and have a good relationship."

The eldest princess had a calm demeanor on her face. Although it was a consultative tone, Jiang Runyan knew that she wanted to let her go, so she lowered her head and said, "Didn't my mother also hate concubines and concubines?" "Now you want her to come into contact with Sheng Mingzhu?

Wei Yuan didn't answer her daughter's words, but only asked, "Do you think Sheng Qian is not smart?" ”

"What's so clever about grandstanding." , Jiang Runyan was used to being arrogant, "It's a good show." "What can I do, how can I find justice and become a concubine," but he also offended the king like this, and his daughter only felt that he was a mouse. ”

Wei Yuan frowned, she had a bad relationship with the concubine, and she only had this one daughter. She taught her everything, and hoped that she could gain a firm foothold in the future situation - but her temperament was superficially like her, but she was still taught to be a Han girl's twisted temperament.

"You go out and be naughty, I don't need you to accompany me here."

Jiang Runyan didn't understand why her mother suddenly got angry. But it is about the difference between the royal family and ordinary people, the eldest princess holds the power of the army, and she is also a mother and a monarch at home, Jiang Runyan respects her, and is also afraid of her, so she bows her waist and quickly retreats.

——

In the early morning of this day, Sheng Qian took a break and did not need to go to the morning court, so he took the spirit bead to visit Song Ge Lao.

Before, Sheng Guogong had thought of relying on the old man and selling the old, so that Song Ge Lao would sell his face and send his two granddaughters to study at the college. Unexpectedly, Song Ge Lao slapped him in front of him, and told him that he would regret his life if he didn't accept his granddaughter, and Song Ge Lao literati had a temper, so he immediately asked him to bring him over for a try.

Sheng Mingzhu hadn't gotten up in the morning yet, and now she was nesting in bed. Ming'er is her fourteenth birthday, and it is already late autumn, the thin window paper outside has been soaked with the cold dew in the morning, and Huang's mother outside is afraid that she will be cold, so she took the golden branch and took the new window paper, and worked slowly.

Sheng Mingzhu was still sweating inside. The delicate brows were tightly wrinkled, and her face was thin red.

In a cramped hut, she saw a man in a bright yellow gold dragon shirt kneeling on the ground with a panicked face, and the queen standing next to her, the same clothes, her face was very familiar, she was now full of tears, and she was begging the person sitting on the throne, just for a while, and the two who were still alive suddenly became two corpses under the long knife.

Where has Sheng Mingzhu seen such a scene, he was in a panic and wanted to retreat, but he couldn't retreat.

She looked at the superior man almost in fear, and her pupils almost opened to the extreme. She saw him again looking at a scroll in which the man was dressed in a big red shirt with a red rhizome on his forehead and a snow-white fur collar. It was her—he touched the painting, very affectionate, Sheng Mingzhu felt creepy, and wanted to see his face carefully.
