A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

"Miss Ming."

"Miss Sun."

Sun Caiyao saw the innocence in Jiuzhu's smile. The kind of carefree smile that has not been contaminated by the world.

"At the foot of Feixia Mountain a few days ago, I couldn't talk with Miss Ming in detail. I am very sorry. Fortunately, you are here today. Come in and sit down and talk slowly." Sun Caiyao gently smiled while holding Jiuzhu's hand gently: "You and I are the same age, I am one year older than you, so you can call my sister from now on."

Several girls nearby heard this and laughed out of their mouths with their handkerchiefs.

In the future, they will marry into the royal family, and they will be concubines. In detail, are they sisters and sisters?

Jiuzhu turned to look at the laughing girls, and blinked.

"Don't pay attention to them, they are all narrow-tempered sex." Sun Caiyao's eyes stayed in Jiuzhu's hair, where there was a pair of Ruyi-shaped tassel hairpins. This pair of tassel hairpins was worn by Concubine Su to participate in Your Majesty's Longevity.

Lowering her eyelids gently, she didn't look directly at Jiuzhu's beautiful eyes: "There is a small garden in the backyard of the mansion. If sister Jiuzhu doesn't dislike it, go to the garden with us for a walk."

Jiuzhu looked back at the Shen who was talking to his wife, and Shen nodded slightly.

"Then bother Miss Sun." Jiuzhu smiled and nodded to Sun Caiyao.

"Sister, please." Sun Caiyao let go of Jiuzhu's hand, slightly holding her skirt and leading the way. The accompanying women kept witty words and praised Jiuzhu and Sun Caiyao from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The courtyard of the Sun family is surrounded by rocks and secluded. Although it is not luxurious, it is full of scenery. The Sun family's family style is like their garden, with profound background, and every word and deed can be cultivated.

The young girls have fun together, you chase me, Jiuzhu has remembered the names of several daughters. Each of them is friendly and easy to get along with, and can't fault it at all.

Jiuzhu remembered what her mother said to her when she went out in the morning.

"How to get along with them is something other people consider. When you go, you will naturally find that each of them is gentle and considerate and considerate."

"Are the girls in the capital so gentle?"

"Gentleness is not nature, but human heart."

Jiuzhu watched the young girls running in small steps in the garden, exhausted and panting, and felt that if they were to catch them, they would be invincible.

It's no wonder that the masters said that the water and soil in the capital does not support people, and the physical strength of these girls is too poor. They just run a few steps and become tired.

"Sister Jiuzhu, but tired?" Sun Caiyao walked to her, "Let's sit down and rest for a while."

Jiuzhu: "..."

She glanced at Sun Caiyao's flushed cheeks, suspected that the other party was tired but embarrassed to speak, and asked her to stay with her.

Let's take care of the old, the weak and the sick, and accumulate virtue and do good.

In the autumn wind slowly, Sun Caiyao poured a cup of fragrant tea and put it in front of Jiuzhu: "After my sister returns to Beijing, can everything be used to it?"

Jiuzhu nodded while holding up the teacup.

The atmosphere calmed down. Sun Caiyao looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, her hand holding the teacup tightly, and then slowly let go: "Sister... can you blame me?"

"What?" Jiuzhu thought there was a problem with her ears. She looked up at Sun Caiyao. The other party's eyes were very complicated, maybe because it was too complicated, Jiuzhu couldn't understand a little bit, and even faintly felt a bit cold on his back.

"Nothing." Sun Caiyao smiled: "Sister uses tea instead of wine, and toasts sister a cup. If there is any rudeness, please ask sister Haihan."

As soon as Jiuzhu picked up the tea cup, the Sun family members hurriedly walked to Sun Caiyao: "Miss, His Royal Highness Qi has heard that our mansion is hosting a tea banquet today. The head of the party sent a lot of things here. Go and take a look."

Sun Caiyao drank the tea in the cup, got up and blessed Jiuzhu: "Sister, disaccompany."

Watching Miss Sun Jia leave, Jiuzhu took a sip of Chinese tea.

It's light.

Putting down the tea cup, she got up and walked to the lotus pond next to it. There are leftover leaves on the surface of the pond, and occasionally pond fish swim over the surface and spit out a few bubbles.

Sitting on the rock, Jiuzhu looked at these chubby fish that were not afraid of people, and couldn't help thinking, if such a stupid fish eats, people will become stupid, right?

"Why doesn't Miss Zheng go to play with everyone?"

"I don't want to go." A woman's unhappy voice came from behind the rockery: "Who dares to offend Princess Chen in the future."

"Why did Miss Zheng say this? Miss Ming has a gentle temperament and knows..."

"You want to flatter, just go, you don't have to say these disgusting things in front of me."

Jiuzhu stood up from the stone. People in the capital like to hide in the dark and talk bad things about others? She looked around and walked gently to the rockery.

The woman who was run by Ms. Zheng was a little angry: "Your brother has offended Wang Chen and lost his face. What does it have to do with Miss Ming Jia? Master Ming is an upright official, and Mrs. Shen has a gentle temperament. Miss Ming entered the Sun's mansion by herself. When did you put on airs with us? Miss Dao Ming behind your back is what you can do, and you have the ability to go to Wang Chen for theory!"

"You..." Zheng Zhen suddenly stopped when she didn't say anything. She stared at the rockery with wide eyes, as if she had seen something terrible.

Yao Yinyin noticed her anomaly, then turned her head and saw Miss Ming Jia was sitting on the rockery, tidying up her silk, in a leisurely posture.

"Ming, Miss Ming?" Yao Yinyin didn't dare to guess how much Ming Jiuzhu had heard.

Zheng Zhen even paled with fright. Zheng's family is Qi Wang's foreign family. She is naturally not afraid of Ming Jiuzhu, but she is afraid of Ming Jiuzhu's fiancé.

Thinking of his elder brother who was still copying books in Class A, Zheng Zhen shook the soles of his feet and took a step back.

"You continue to talk, don't care about me." Jiuzhu pulled the Phi silk to block the sun, and smiled crookedly at the two of them: "I'm just here to enjoy the scenery."

Yao Yinyin: "..."

She glanced at Zheng Zhen pityingly, and was heard by the person who said bad things, so she wanted them to continue talking?

Just substituting Zheng Zhen, she wants to dig in the ground and hide herself in.

Seeing Zheng Zhen not speaking, Jiuzhu's face showed a stunned look: "Is it because I am here that affected Miss Zheng's chat?"

She tilted her head and jumped off the rockery: "I will leave."

"Miss Ming." Zheng Zhen gritted his teeth and called Jiuzhu, hesitating: "What happened just now is a misunderstanding..."

"Ms. Zheng doesn't need to explain, I understand, I understand both." Jiuzhu lifted the skirt of her skirt, and turned away without listening to Zheng Zhen's explanation.

A pretty girl, how come she loves to talk right and wrong behind her back?

Can't scare her!

"She must have heard it." Zheng Zhen looked at Yao Yinyin in a panic: "What if she tells Concubine Su about this matter?"

Yao Yinyin: "..."

She couldn't stop her just now, but now she knows she's afraid?

Pingyuan Hou's Mansion was a foreign family of King Qi, and there were many famous ministers from his ancestors. How come the younger generation has a worse mind than one?

Could it be that the ingenuity was passed on to the grandson of King Qi?

"You don't think so much, Miss Ming didn't say anything." Yao Yinyin comforted: "I think she is not a narrow-minded person."

Zheng Zhen stared at Yao Yinyin, what time is it, and didn't forget to flatter Ming Jiuzhu?

Pretending not to see Zheng Zhen's dissatisfaction, Yao Yinyin blessed her body: "If Miss Zheng is really worried, go and say no to Miss Ming, this matter will also pass."

Anyway, after today, she will stay away from Miss Zheng. Sometimes people with bad brains are more dangerous than bad people.

"I, I didn't say anything." Even though he said so, Zheng Zhen didn't dare to stay in the Sun Mansion anymore. He found a reason and hurriedly left in a carriage. Even the lunch specially prepared by the Sun family was useless.

"What happened when I was playing with other little girls?" When Shen saw Jiuzhu sitting back next to him, the smile on his face was a little weird.

"Someone tells me right and wrong behind my back, I heard it."

Hearing this, Shen was worried that his daughter would be upset because of others' words, and was about to speak to comfort him.

"Outside telling the right and wrong of others, the Zheng family not only has a bad brain, but also has problems with her tutor." Jiuzhu smiled a little triumphantly: "After she said right and wrong, she found out that I was behind the rockery, as if I was found stealing food Voles."

Shen found one thing, her daughter seemed to have a mystery-like self-confidence in herself, and would never change her opinion because of other people's words.

No matter what other people's words or opinions say, they can't have any influence on her.

Maybe one day, when everyone thinks differently from her, she can also come to the conclusion that "These people are weird, only I am normal".

The two Taoist masters who raised their eldest daughters are also strange women in the world, and most people raise children and cannot raise such a distinctive temperament.

Just thinking about it, she heard her daughter murmur again.

"The most annoying person who speaks badly about His Royal Highness Chen."

Shen: "..."

In fact, sometimes, blind self-confidence is not good.

After coming back from the Sun family, Shen's mentality about gains and losses has changed a lot. Sometimes without Ming Cunfu's company, she can safely let Jiuzhu go out.

The atmosphere in Beijing is open and does not restrict women too much. When Jiuzhu took the maid to go out, she could see women walking alone on the street everywhere, which was better than Lingzhou.

Her mother pushed her out to spend money every three to five times. Jiuzhu held her purse distressedly. Is it good to keep the money? Why must it be spent?

"Miss." Seeing Jiuzhu holding her purse at the equinox, she stood on the street unwilling to pick things up: "The master told the lady that although our house is not rich, you can buy pearl hairpin jewelry and rouge gouache for you. There is still money."

Jiuzhu sighed: "But I don't lack these, my mother has already prepared a lot for me."

"Which girl would think that there are too many pearl hairpin jewelry." The Equinox and a few maids walked to the store holding Jiuzhu: "My dear lady, you can buy a few and take it home, otherwise the lady will suspect that we are not doing well."

"Hey, the little girl of the Ming family."

Ming Jiuzhu looked around, who was calling her?

"I'm here, where are you looking?" Something fell gently at her feet, a silver peanut. Jiuzhu bent over to pick up the silver peanuts, and looked upstairs.

The young man in brocade leaned against the window and smiled wildly at her.

It was the kind boy who asked someone to help her fight last time.

"You want to pick jewelry?" He beckoned to Jiuzhu: "Look upstairs. The jewelry here is beautiful."

Jiuzhu spread out his palm, revealing the silver peanuts in his palm, and looked up at him: "Your silver has fallen."

"Then you can bring it up for me." Chen Wang laughed and gave her a hand: "There is girl Lao Ming."

This hand-off is not standard, but when he does it, there is a sense of freedom.

Just like this, Jiuzhu raised his head, and his smile was printed in his bright black eyes.

His smile is very familiar.
