Chapter 39: Xue Baozhu
"Miss Su, what are you doing outside the door? We're going for a walk now, do you want to come along? ”
When Su Jiaojiao was still annoyed, she suddenly heard Cheng Minghui's voice calling her.
Su Jiaojiao turned her head, it turned out that when she was talking to Guo Gongzi just now, the girls had already used dim sum vegetarian food and were ready to change venues. If Cheng Minghui hadn't called her, I'm afraid she would have been left behind by everyone again.
At that moment, Su Jiaojiao lifted the corner of her skirt and trotted over, "Youlao sisters are waiting, let's go." ”
Jia Wenxin, who was the leader, pursed his lips and turned around and left with Guo Yixuan.
"Sister Yixuan, isn't it good for this Su Jiaojiao to pester Brother Yixing like this? Let the uninformed people look at it, and think that the Guo family intends to make Su Jiaojiao their daughter-in-law. ”
Guo Yixuan's eyes swept over Jia Wenxin, she was obviously a gentle and amiable big sister, but her eyes at this moment made Jia Wenxin feel momentary fear.
"Sister Wenxin, don't talk nonsense, sometimes it's just a joke, and others will take it seriously."
Jia Wenxin smiled embarrassedly, "I won't talk about it in the future." ”
Guo Yixuan smiled again and took Jia Wenxin's hand, "We naturally know the severity, and there will be no thoughts that shouldn't be there, but I can't stand that some people are from the countryside, and if you don't say a word to her, she will think that you are like-minded with her, and you will be troubled in the future." ”
If it meant something, Jia Wen was instantly reassured, and she fell back beside Guo Yixuan, and said crisply, "No, we have to keep a distance from some people." ”
The ladies and a group of maids and ladies walked around in a row, beside them, there were civilians who avoided them, and there were also ordinary officials and ladies who watched from afar, only to feel that the sun was shining on the nobles and the ladies were very brilliant, and they were more eye-catching than others.
Xue Baozhu was an idle person in Shu County, and when she arrived in Kyoto, she was restrained by her mother, and finally there was a reason for the Hail God Festival, so she begged her mother to come out to the banquet. Right now, three or five official ladies took their maids on the side of the original bluestone square in Leyou, watching the nobles walk out of the bluestone platform before they stepped forward to pay homage to the temple.
"I see those noble girls, all of them are gentle and kind, why do we avoid so far?"
Xue Baozhu asked the little sister on the side puzzled.
Ji Yinglan next to her is the daughter of a university scholar, and the two main families are in the same year, and after arriving in Kyoto, they gradually became acquainted. Xue Baozhu relied on Miss Ji to take her, and gradually got to know some people in Kyoto and participated in several banquets.
Right now, it is Ji Yinglan's post, she asked her mother for leave to come out to play, she is one of the best young ladies in Shu County, and she has never encountered the practice of going out to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, Ji Yinglan asked at the moment.
Ji Yinglan looked at the nobles walking to the grassland with envy in her eyes.
"Baozhu, they are not all the way with us, they should go their separate ways, don't mix together."
Xue Baozhu was puzzled, "Why isn't it all the way?" We're the same age, let's play together? Where is the need to take care of so much? Our family is all second-class members, isn't it worthy to stand in front of them? ”
Xue Baozhu puffed out her chest and asked puzzledly, if it wasn't for Ji Yinglan to stop her, she would probably have stepped forward to greet Guo Yixuan and the others.
Ji Yinglan knew that the Xue family came from the local area, and she didn't know much about the rules of Kyoto, and she liked Xue Baozhu's bright and innocent, so she patiently explained immediately, "They are from noble backgrounds, and their identities are the same as those of the country, which is different from our official family who studied for the imperial examination." We need to be cautious and cautious, sometimes one wrong step is irreparable, but those nobles, as long as they are not rebels, will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime. Therefore, together with them, we will only be the ones who suffer. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Yinglan took the person among the noble ladies as an example, "Look at the Guo Yixuan led by the front, she got close to Cui Lingchuan and Cui Gongzi a few years ago, and later there was a rumor in Kyoto, saying that it made Cui Lingchuan's fiancée dislike, causing the two families to quit. Although the parties all said that there was another reason, if we ordinary women had such rumors, the marriage would definitely be affected. But look at that Miss Guo, didn't she still come out generously to travel with Cui Gongzi? Not affected at all. Just now, I even talked to the woman who was disturbed by her marriage, tsk tsk, this concentration, we can't compare. ”
Ji Yinglan shook her head and whispered.
Xue Baozhu's eyes were sparkling when she listened, "This Miss Guo is also a strange woman, she knows how to fight for herself!" ”
Ji Yinglan looked at Xue Baozhu in surprise, "What kind of strange woman is this, if you talk about strange women, you have to count the young lady who was disturbed by her and quit her family." ”
Xue Baozhu became more and more curious, "What's wrong?" ”
"The young lady withdrew from the marriage of the prince of Lingchuan on the front foot, and it was rumored on the back foot that he was given the marriage of the fourth prince by His Majesty. If it weren't for Miss Su's illness and weakness, she would have avoided Shu County for two years, and the son of Lingchuan and this Miss Guo would probably be too ashamed to see anyone. ”
Ji Yinglan said with some schadenfreude.
"Wow!" Xue Baozhu became more and more fascinated, "I actually gave the marriage of the four princes!" I heard that among the princes, the four princes are the most favored by His Majesty, and this Miss Su is really a blessing in disguise! ”
But, Miss Sue? Shu County?
Xue Baozhu had a hazy feeling and grabbed Ji Yinglan's arm, "Which one are you talking about, Miss Su?" ”
Ji Yinglan was confused by Xue Baozhu's sudden excitement, so she still pointed to the few people coming from the east and whispered, "That's Miss Su, Su Zijin, and the one next to her should be the Fourth Prince." One year, at the palace banquet, my mother and I met Mrs. Wuhou and Miss Su from afar. ”
Xue Baozhu couldn't hear Ji Yinglan's words anymore, she looked at the two people walking in the distance in a daze, and said in a daze, "How do you know that it is the fourth prince?" Isn't she obviously a merchant? ”
Ji Yinglan reacted quickly, and said immediately, "Miss Su is a homely family, accumulating wealth and wealth, standing tall in troubled times without falling, but she is not an ordinary businessman. And the man, walking beside Su Zijin, isn't it the fourth prince or who? ”
Xue Baozhu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, waving his hand and shouting, "Zijin, sister Zijin!" ”
This voice not only scared Ji Yinglan a lot, but also all the people around him looked sideways.
Su Zijin looked at the source of the sound, "Miss Baozhu?" ”
Xue Baozhu dragged Ji Yinglan and ran forward, "Sister Zijin, I didn't expect that we could meet in Kyoto, it's really fate." ”
Su Zijin smiled and nodded, and then looked at the young lady who was dragged over beside her, quite uncomfortable.
"Who is this?"
"This is my new little sister, the daughter of Ji Yinglan!"
Ji Yinglan only hated herself for not learning some kung fu at this time, so she let Xue Baozhu drag her over and couldn't resist.
I saw Ji Yinglan adjust the somewhat ugly look on her face and look at the person in front of her, "I've seen two princes, Miss Su." ”
