Chapter 36: Liu Hongbao

In the shadow of the street corner, there stood two young girls, both of whom were covered in light veils, making it difficult to see their faces.

Looking at the morning market that was stirred up by the crazy horse, the woman in red looked extremely calm, her eyes were clear and clear, and the slightly raised corners of her lips under the veil slightly revealed her state of mind at the moment.

On the other hand, the woman in Tsing Yi next to her didn't have her open-mindedness, so she glanced at Shan Yue'er, who was rescued by the guards, and said uneasily: "Girl, this, will this be an accident?" ”

The woman in red raised her hand to dust the dust stuck to the corner of her clothes, and said softly, "Something's wrong?" Naturally, something has to happen. If not, what will I do with people staring at the gate of the palace every day, waiting for her to come out? Now that the matter is finally done, it is time for me to go back and rest. ”

When the woman in Tsing Yi saw her turn to leave, she hurriedly followed, but her mouth was still reading: "The slave and maid also saw the situation that day, and the prince cares about this wife very much!" I'm afraid that if I know that something happened to this person, the prince will be furious, and he will investigate the matter thoroughly when the time comes. ”

The woman in red frowned and sneered: "Thorough investigation? Let's not talk about the presence of grandpa and father, can the prince investigate this matter thoroughly. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you want to investigate, you will never find out to us. You forget, at Grandpa's birthday banquet that day, the princess was embarrassed and embarrassed, but there was someone else. ”

Hearing this, the woman in Tsing Yi said respectfully: "It's still a girl who is thoughtful." ”

The woman in red said impatiently: "Okay, stop nagging. You just need to remember one sentence, we have never been out of the Prime Minister's Mansion today. ”

The woman in green clothes replied: "Yes, don't worry, the slaves and maids have written it down." ”

The two who spoke were Liu Hongbao, the eldest daughter of Liu Jianren, and her personal girl Zhen'er.

This Liu Hongbao was originally Liu Jianren's eldest daughter, half a year older than her daughter-in-law Liu Qingqing, and she should have been a delicate eldest lady. It's a pity that he was born in the belly of his aunt Bai, although this Liu Jianren is a concubine, he pays special attention to the dignity of his concubine, so his attitude towards this eldest daughter is very different from that of his concubine. His mother, Bai, is a casual and peaceful character, and she is unwilling to say more for the sake of her children.

Yes, this Liu family daughter has developed a calm temperament since she was a child, and she is a hundred times stronger than Liu Qingqing, who has been spoiled since childhood.

In previous years, the old man of the Liu family is bound to take a group of children and grandchildren out to climb high and take auspiciousness, this year because the old man is greedy for the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes, stopped eating, the body is not very happy, so he did not go out of the house, only put some melons and fruits on the rockery in the house, feast and drink for fun.

The family banquet has begun, and after three rounds of wine, Jin asked Bai, "Why didn't you see that girl from Hongbao?" ”

Bai Shi trembled and said: "I think it's uncomfortable, since Madame is looking for her, I can call someone." ”

Jin just asked casually and said, "It's not necessary, if you are sick, just rest in peace!" ”

Liu Qingqing heard the conversation between the two, but said in a strange manner: "Sister Hongbao's score is getting bigger and bigger, even if she is sick, she should go back and forth to her mother, why don't you go to rest without biting!" ”

Bai's robbed white face was red and white.

Liu Hongbei couldn't look at it, and replied: "The eldest sister told me in the morning that she was cold last night and couldn't come, so let me inform my wife." It's that I forgot, and I hope that Mrs. and the second sister will forgive me. ”

Jin waved his hand and said, "That's it, what's the big deal, it has to be like this?" Let's eat it all raw! ”

As soon as Jin's words fell, he saw Liu Jinbao walking over with her maid Zhen'er.

During the process, she was deeply blessed, and said softly: "Hongyu is late, so I ask my grandfather, father, mother, and aunt for my guilt." ”

Liu Qingqing wants to come and see this eldest sister who is a little low everywhere, the more she lets herself, the more Liu Qingqing feels that she is hiding a traitor, and now she finally catches her mistakes, how can Liu Qingqing let it go?

Before a few elders could make a sound, Liu Qingqing took the lead in making a move, "Isn't the eldest sister sick, why did you come here again?" ”

Liu Hongbao glanced at the third sister Liu Hongbei and knew that she was lying for herself. So he said without hesitation: "Hongyu stayed up late last night to do needlework, and she suffered some cold air, so she couldn't prepare for it this morning." But think about it, I still think that I should give the special multicolored silk to the elders and sisters, to show my heart, so I rushed over with a little better, please forgive me! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen'er took out the knotted multicolored silk from the cloth bag with great discernment.

Five-color silk, also commonly known as five-color silk, is woven by blue, red, yellow, white and black five-color silk threads, and is commonly worn in the Dragon Boat Festival, taking the meaning of avoiding diseases and ghosts, and not being infected with disease and plague.

Liu Hongbao presented the colorful silk to everyone one by one.

Others didn't say anything, only Liu Qingqing looked at the silk thread and sneered, she said: "Sister has a heart, but isn't this colorful silk something to wear during the Dragon Boat Festival?" Although it is said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, at least she should know about the festival customs. ”

Liu Hongyu was not annoyed, but happily explained: "My sister misunderstood, my sister grew up under Mrs. Madame's knees since she was a child, how could she not know these festival customs?" Chongyang should indeed wear dogwood, but dogwood is a plant after all, and it is inconvenient to wear it. So I thought of a way to use dogwood to dye all kinds of silk threads and weave them into multicolored silk, so that it is easy to wear, and it can also take away the good intentions of plague and disaster. ”

Jin saw that his daughter had the upper hand again, but as a mother-in-law, she didn't say much. In my heart, I only said that I seemed to underestimate this silent girl on weekdays.

So, he only glanced at Liu Hongbao deeply and praised: "Hongbao girl has worked hard, it's rare for you to have such a mind." ”

The old lady of the Liu family rarely noticed Liu Hongbao, but her actions today were in line with his thoughts, so he praised: "My big girl is very sensible." ”

Seeing Liu Hongbao take the lead, Liu Qingqing was a little unhappy, she said coquettishly: "Grandpa is biased and only praises the eldest sister, isn't it good for me and the third sister?" ”

Old lady Liu smiled and said, "It's all good, it's all good." The sun is big, and I am tired, so let your sisters sit down and scatter again! ”

Everyone got up and greeted the old lady. However, the work of a cup of tea was also dispersed.

Liu Qingqing followed the Jin family in front, and the Jin family taught her daughter: "Qingqing, you are too ignorant. How can you rebuke Ruby in front of your grandfather and father, how can you say that she is also your sister! ”

Liu Qingqing pouted and said, "What sister, she is just a concubine, and she deserves to be called a sister by me?" I am the only daughter of my father and mother, the eldest lady of Liufu! ”

Jin sighed helplessly: "You! If you have half of Jinbao's composure, you won't be ......."

Liu Qingqing knew that her mother was going to mention marrying into the Jade Mansion again, so she interrupted with a coquettishness.

The Bai clan served Liu Jianren and returned to the courtyard first, leaving only the two sisters Hongbao and Hongbei behind.

"Thank you for today, I know you must be the one who will solve the siege for me." Liu Hongbao held the hand of his sister Hongbei and said.

Liu Hongbei shook her head and said, "Why should the eldest sister be polite to me. It's just that she pointed to the colorful silk abandoned by Liu Qingqing not far away, and said helplessly: "Second sister, she is too domineering, don't take it to heart." ”

Liu Hongbao smiled coldly and said, "One day, I will let her know that there is a price to be paid for bullying me." ”
